The free-to-air networks are teasing viewers with sneak previews and advertisements to create an early buzz around the year's big new shows, hoping to steal a march on their rivals.
While the official ratings period does not start for a few weeks, Channel Seven used the Australian Open to showcase big names such as Packed to the Rafters. But some of Seven's new series are already one-season wonders in the US.
Channel Nine is pumping the latest version of The Block along with a pretty superhero and Kevin Bacon as a serial killer.
Channel Ten's already launched one of their big hopes in the form of MasterChef: the Professionals and hopes some old-school murder mysteries based on Sherlock Holmes and Jack the Ripper will deliver too.
Even the ABC is getting in on the act, with a Chaser-driven trawl through the Aunty archives.
But which of the new shows should you watch?
Here is a guide to these unknown quantities based around some simple questions about yourself.
If you like ... Clayton's ABC watching
Watch: Shock Horror Aunty
Starts: Feb 6
Two half-hour episodes of Australia's Funniest Home Videos disguised as smart programming, this is the perfect show for those who don't really want to watch the ABC but want to be able to SAY they do. See Norman Gunston playing the fool on the steps of parliament right next to Gough Whitlam as he gives the immortal 'God save the Governor General' speech and you'll not only laugh, but have dinner party anecdotes for the next three months.
If you like ... tortured grammar
Watch: The Agony of Life
Starts: Feb 6
Agony Aunts was so good we got Agony Uncles, which was so good that the ABC regretted that they'd run out of parental siblings, so now the format gets famous guys and gals discussing existence from child to adult under a title they hope you recognise.
If you like ... to gamble
Watch: The Mindy Project
Starts: Jan 28
It's single girl the sitcom. She's a vengeful ex, she goes on crazy dates, she's funny, in short she's nothing like Sex and the City. Most importantly tough, it's a show that is considered a 50-50 chance at best to be picked up for a second season in America. So you may invest in Mindy and her plight only to find it never resolved, reduced to a permanent cliff-hanger.
If you like ... zombies
Watch: Against The Wall
Starts: Jan 29
Dead show walking! This is a tale of an internal affairs cop in Chicago. Or rather it was, having been axed after its first season ended after 13 episodes in 2011. So if you fall in love with Abby the police officer, too bad, there is no hope at all of her returning.
If you like ... crazy vampires
Watch: Last Resort
Starts: TBC
This tale of a US nuclear submarine whose Captain defies an order to initiate World War 3 and takes refuge on a pacific island, swiftly dragging the world to the bring of nuclear terrorism. This is also a dead show, ending after 13 episodes, but this show knows it's dead and is delighting in it. The makers learned of their fate half way through production, and from around episode 7, it goes quite mad trying to jam in three or four seasons worth of plot before it ends. So you know it won't survive as a show, but it goes out with a bang.
If you like ... Batman does Robin Hood doing Hamlet, but pretty
Watch: Arrow
Starts: TBC
The radical concept of the son of a dead billionaire becoming a masked superhero to take on the criminal elements destroying his city, only his mother is still alive and married to his Dad's best friend. He also does quite a lot of working out without his shirt on.
If you like ... A new veneer on an old frame
Watch: The Block: All-Stars
Starts: Feb 4
Speaking of radical concepts, it's The Block, except instead of unknown amateur builders we get known amateur builders. Known, because they were on The Block before!
If you like ... to eat while watching TV
DON'T watch: The Following
Starts: TBC
This is a great show, a cross between the traditional criminal procedural and The Silence of the Lambs, featuring Kevin Bacon, a serial killer and more twists and blood than you can possibly imagine. Potentially nightmare inducing, this is NOT one for meal times.
If you like ... even more Sherlock Holmes
Watch: Elementary
Starts: Feb 3
The movies did it, the BBC did it, so of course US TV had to do it, and surprisingly its good. Lucy Liu is Watson, a "sober companion" for Jonny Lee Miller's Sherlock. Otherwise, it's your standard (but good) week-to-week crime procedural. Moriarty doesn't even rate a mention until half way through the series.
If you like ... CSI 1888
Watch: Ripper Street
Starts: TBC
Set among the police of the East End of London in 1888 during the aftermath of the Jack the Ripper murders, Ripper Street is actually yet another, good, crime procedural set at the time of the first forensics work. And may be another ill-suited to dinner time.
If you like … genres that come in threes
Watch: Mr and Mrs Murder
Starts: TBC
Speaking of crime procedurals, we've had an American and an English one, so like any good joke, we've got an Australian to make up the trio. This one with Shaun Micallef and Kat Stewart as murder scene cleaners who can't help but solve the cases as well.
If you like ... rescue dogs
Watch: Reef Doctors
Starts: TBC
The good news is, it isn't a crime procedural. The less promising news is this was slated to run in 2012, then was quietly withdrawn only to reappear on the 2013 schedule. Set in a medical clinic on an island on the Great Barrier Reef it should at the very least be a good tourism campaign.

Salt is the common name for the chemical compound sodium chloride, made up of 40% sodium and 60% chloride. Most of our sodium intake is through the consumption of salt in our diet.
A little salt is necessary for good health –sodium helps control the balance of fluids (blood and tissue) in the body as well as controlling muscle and nerve function.
The kidneys do most of the work of regulating how much sodium there is in our bodies. When sodium levels are too high, we feel thirsty and drink – and this liquid flushes sodium from our body through urine and sweat. When sodium levels are too low, the kidneys restrict the amount of sodium lost through urine.
In developed countries like Australia, sodium consumption tends to be much higher than it should be and health complications associated with a high sodium intake are common.
The upper limit (UL) of recommended sodium intake per day is less than 2400mg for all children (and adults):
1-3 years
|1000mg (2.5g salt)
4-8 years
|1400mg (3.5g salt)
|9-13 years
|2000mg (5g salt)
|14-18 years
|2300mg (5.8g salt)
18+ years
2400mg (6g salt)
To put this in perspective, 2400mg of sodium or 6g of salt – the maximum recommended adult daily limit – is the equivalent of 1 teaspoon of salt.
The 2007 Australian National Children's Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey found that kids between 2-16 years were routinely consuming more salt than the recommended upper levels – in fact, boys were generally consuming up to over 9g of salt, and girls up to over 6g.
While it is virtually impossible to work out exactly how much salt we consume each day without cooking everything we eat from scratch, it is useful to know that about ¾ of our daily salt consumption comes through the food we buy. In fact, almost every processed food we consume contains added sodium – even the sugary foods such as sweets and fizzy drinks, as sodium can also be found in other additives such as sodium phosphate, sodium carbonate and sodium benzoate.
Seasoning our food with salt actually accounts for a very small percentage of the sodium we consume each day.
It is the sodium content in salt that we have to pay attention to as it is sodium that has an impact on our health. As commercial packaging can label nutritional information as 'salt' or 'sodium', it is worth remembering that sodium only represents 40% of salt – so if the nutritional information lists salt content, you need to multiply that number by 400 to get the sodium content. For example, 1g of salt for 100g is the same as 400mg of sodium per 100g of food.
While we do need salt in our diet to maintain good health, most developed countries have to contend with a multitude of health problems associated with too much sodium in our diets. Too much sodium can cause the following health conditions:
Iodised table salt is table salt that has added iodine. The iodine is added primarily to increase our daily intake of this essential trace element. Iodine deficiency is responsible for some types thyroid conditions (such as goiter), mental retardation, brain disorders, miscarriages, and in countries where iodine has been added to table salt, iodine-related disorders have all but disappeared.
Though rare, salt deficiency – known as hyponatremia– can be just as devastating to our health as too much salt. The body loses salt through urine, perspiration, diarrhoea and vomiting. When too much salt is lost from the body, fluid levels in the blood will drop, which can cause muscle cramps, dizziness, nausea and vomiting. A severe lack of salt in the body will ultimately result in shock, coma and death.
We are most vulnerable to hyponatremia when we have acute gastroenteritis or severe sweating, which is why replacing salts with special drinks when we are unwell or undertaking extreme physical activity is very important for our general wellbeing.

Value investors are getting excited about emerging markets again after their terrible performance over the past few months.
The problem, as Arjun Divecha, chairman of Boston's GMO, says, is that mostly what's cheap is commodity-related stocks set to suffer from the slowdown of demand in China. Domestically-oriented companies are down, but aren't that cheap.
There are a couple of really cheap areas, though. He points to Russian oil shares, and Chinese banks.
Both have horrible fundamentals. Russia is stuck between recession-hit Europe and slowing China, and has some of the worst corporate governance in the world.
Chinese banks are directly exposed to the slowdown in the country's economy, are being told to lend less (hurting profitability), face higher funding costs (hurting profitability) and risk the bursting of the credit bubble (which would expose the bad debts from their relaxed lending decisions of the past four years).
Given all that, shares would need to be very very cheap to consider buying them. And they are. Charts showing just how cheap Chinese stocks have become follow after the break. Read more

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 4/12/2012 (1722 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I went to a concert the other night and saw a man sitting two rows over that I once had a fling with at an outdoor country music festival. We were drunk and stoned and did things as strangers that I've never done before or since. I could never forget the profile of his face, which was very unusual. He'd lost some hair but I still recognized that strong nose, sensual mouth and big chin. I lagged behind as we were leaving and said a pointed hello to him plus the nickname I gave to a certain part of his anatomy on that crazy weekend (he went back home to his girlfriend and I went home to my boyfriend and married him). We never saw each other again, until the concert this week. He looked startled and then we both started to laugh. As he walked by me he slipped his business card into coat pocket. I don't know what to do. Wasn't that an invitation? Don't they say you'll always regret the opportunities you missed in life? -- Dying To Phone Him, Winnipeg
Dear Dying: Yes, it was an invitation and you're going to do what you're going to do, without my permission. Just ask yourself this: If your husband had a crazy sex weekend years ago and met up with the woman when he was with you -- and she slipped him the card -- would you want him to call her? As for how great the sex would be with this guy now, you're both clearly with other people and you're not in a festival situation. Let's look into my crystal ball... you meet this guy for a drink and talk about the crazy chance of meeting up again and then you talk about the wild weekend at the country music festival -- and then what? It's winter time; it's freezing. Neither one of you has your own place and you're not drunk and/or stoned like you were at the festival. There is no music blaring. The whole background to the previous drama is gone and you're two people looking at each other and remembering a wild time when you were young. Maybe you should just laugh and go home. Renting a hotel would feel pretty awkward.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I am 21. I went out with this beautiful girl and we had a lot of drinks and sex on the very first night, which was fine with me, but we have gone out five or six more times since and I don't even get a kiss. What is going on? Does she think I'm a lousy lover but she likes me to spend money on her or does she think we did it too soon and now she's trying to backtrack so I'll respect her? -- So Confused. St. James
Dear Confused: You're going to have to ask her outright! She's the only one who knows the answer and guessing isn't working. If you are an inadequate or awkward lover (for her needs), you need to find out if she's willing to tutor you in the things that would please her. Tell her, with a wink, you're a fast learner. Don't be humble and pathetic about it. If she thinks you had sex too soon, ask her why there's absolutely no affection now? If you find out you've been demoted to a platonic friend who pays for outings, you may want to put your wallet back in your pants and stop taking her out for dinner. No point hanging around if you're attracted and she's just using you!

Get Hooked on Fly Fishing March 9 at Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center
ATHENS—Fly Fish Texas returns to the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center March 9 with the goal of teaching visitors to tie a fly, cast a fly and catch a fish with it all in one day.
Show hours are 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. All Fly Fish Texas activities are free with regular paid admission to the center.
Fly Fish Texas emphasizes hands-on learning and immediate application of newly acquired skills. Visitors can collect aquatic insects from the center's streams, tie a fly to imitate one of those insects under the supervision of a skilled tier, learn to cast it from a casting instructor certified by the Federation of Fly Fishers, then use it to catch a rainbow trout, catfish or sunfish from one of TFFC's stocked ponds or streams.
Throughout the day, experienced fly-tiers will be demonstrating and teaching fly-tying in the Anglers Pavilion on a one-on-one basis. In addition, group instruction in beginning fly-tying will be offered in the Hart-Morris Conservation Center. Both are offered on a walk-up basis.
Beginning casting instruction will take place all day in the Conservation Center parking lot, again on a walk-up basis. Other sessions will teach single-hand and Spey rod casting at scheduled times.
Vendors will be displaying and selling fly-fishing gear, and seminars will brief visitors on where and how to fly-fish in Texas fresh and salt waters for a variety of species.
Featured presentations include fly-fishing the Llano River in Texas, trout fishing in Colorado, fly-fishing urban creeks in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, fly-fishing for carp, flies and tactics for spring bass and fly-fishing Texas bays for red drum and speckled seatrout.
While most activities at Fly Fish Texas are offered on a walk-up basis, others are scheduled. For a complete schedule of activities and seminars plus a video of the event, visit http://tpwd.texas.gov/tffc and click on the Fly Fish Texas link.
Food service will be available onsite, or attendees may bring a picnic.
Event sponsors include Sabine River Authority, Best Western-Royal Mountain Inn, Holiday Inn Express-Athens, Super 8-Athens, Temple Fork Outfitters, Orvis-Dallas, Cripple Creek Bar-B-Que, First State Bank, Red Hat Rentals, Wulf Outdoor Sports and Friends of TFFC.

"Game changer" is a term you hear often when people talk about how technology has changed their industry.
Sales professionals serve as your company's ear to the ground. As your teams interact with customers and prospects, they gain invaluable insights into the dynamics of the marketplace: Where are new opportunities arising? What is the competitive landscape? How confident are they that the deal will close?
While the frontline salesperson is in a good position to determine what and when customers will buy, too often they are not fully involved in the enterprise's formal planning process. "Let sales sell" is the typical mantra, followed by employing statisticians and/or other demand planners to predict what sales will occur. For some items and industries, statistics provide a good substitute. But for others, such as industries where history is not reflective of the future or big deals can cause ripples through the supply chain, directly tapping the sales team's insights provides a better approach. To me, the frontline view is something I don't want to leave behind, but leverage.
Why does this matter? Keep in mind, executives don't get fired for a bad quarter; they get fired for a surprise bad quarter. Trouble ensues for companies that ignore signals from their primary interface with customers. Unless you can source, make and deliver product within your customers' "expectation lead-time," your company will be using your prediction of demand to make big bets with working capital.
The sales team is the start of your demand chain signal, and small changes at the start can lead to big consequences later (this is often called the "bullwhip effect," where small motions by the hand lead to large movements at the tip of a whip.) A low forecast leads to product shortages, expediting and missed sales; a high forecast results in valuable capital tied up in excess and/or obsolete inventory.
A proven approach to improving and aligning the entire demand chain process – especially since the global downturn when easy credit disappeared – is sales and operations planning (S&OP), sometimes known as integrated business planning (IBP). S&OP is a business process that unifies all functions within a company so they are marching in the same direction; it translates strategic goals into what needs to happen on the ground. Since your customer is ultimately at the "end of the whip" and the sales forecast is the hand, your ability to understand and execute S&OP best practices is vital to success.
Making the Most of Sales Insights
Here are some thoughts on using S&OP to bridge the gap from the sales funnel to the rest of the enterprise:
Make it easy for sales to participate. "Let sales sell" is still the mantra, so don't ask your frontline teams to give you super-detailed forecasts. Ask them for what they know. For example, they may not know what the unit forecast by item/location will be 18 months out, but they'll nail the revenue volume at product family/region level. Let them communicate at that level, and let the S&OP process handle the translation to the mix for supply planning.
Create human and system collaboration. To make the collaborative process easy and automated, take advantage of both statistics and human knowledge. Your sales team will greatly appreciate useful knowledge to help them do their job more easily. Leverage available technology and provide them an analysis of items/territories to determine if statistics can help on a systematic basis. If yes, make statistics the start of the process by having system suggestions in place for your front line teams to review.
Facilitate collaboration by enabling sales teams to capture their knowledge with formal "workflow" as well as context-sensitive social media. Let all collaborators share their own view, and never overwrite an opinion. It's also important to not require re-keying of data; if the team already records their views in a CRM system, for example, the S&OP process should pull from that. A well-designed process should be perceived by the field as an "account planning" project. This allows them to better manage their book of business, understand their customers' trends, and answer simple customer-related questions like backlog, etc., while providing sales management and the rest of the organization with valuable insight into the forecast.
Create a culture of accountability and transparency. First, accept that sales has to "own" its number – no more blindly throwing a forecast over the fence to operations without any ramifications if it's wrong. I know of companies that make inventory levels a sales metric, with penalties for exceeding the targets. You don't have to be that drastic, but remember that saying from business school: "if you don't measure it, you can't improve it." Be sure your systems automatically measure the overall accuracy of all collaborators (statistical engine, salesperson, marketing, etc.) as well as bias (the tendency to be always over or always under the actual.)
Here is the hard part: publicize these accuracy numbers. Some things are "self-correcting" – if you post every salesperson's bias metrics on the board, you'd be amazed at the improvements in bias. Sandbaggers beware!
Plan for risk. Sometimes the key to success is knowing the right question to ask. While it can be challenging for salespeople to answer detailed questions, they are good at providing accurate ranges (e.g. "I will sell between $100m and $125m in Q4 guaranteed"). S&OP is about mitigating risk, a fancy way of saying "protect us from bad guesses." Ask "what if" questions and think in terms of alternate scenarios (e.g. give me your expected, worst case and best case.) Give them better data, like capacity. For example, one build-to-order company uses this process to check every "Monster Deal" versus real capacity and supply to ensure that their promises will be fulfilled.
There's no question that an S&OP process can dramatically improve performance all along your demand chain. When done right, and with the right inputs and collaboration from the front line sales team, S&OP can make your sales team more productive, your customers happier and ensure that everyone "hits their numbers!" Good selling – and planning!
Danny Smith, Steelwedge's Vice President of Industries, helps companies leverage integrated business planning (IBP) and sales and operations planning (S&OP) processes to meet their strategic goals. He has a 20+year track record of using technology to solve real-world business problems, most recently as Oracle's global solution champion for IBP.

WINTER PARK, Fla. – The men's basketball team dominated from start to finish on Saturday on the road against Rollins, beating the Tars 76-60 to notch their 20th win of the season—a program record. While the Lions improved their record to 20-5 and 12-3 in SSC play, Rollins fell to 17-7 and 9-5 in the conference.
Jerrel Harris led the Lions with 23 points on 5-of-12 shooting and seven rebounds. Harris also went 10-of-10 from the free throw line. Trent Thomas dropped in 15 points while going 3-of-six from three. Also scoring in double figures was Shaun Adams who contributed 13 points and Marcus Ruh who added 12.
Saint Leo came out on fire—shooting 44 percent from the field in the first half and 5-of-12 from behind the arc. Thomas led all scorers in the first half with 10 points. Harris also supplied some offensive output for the Lions in the first half after he went 3-of-6 from long range in the opening period.
In the first half the Lions defense held the Tars to just 27 percent shooting and allowed them to score just 18 first half points.
To open up the second half the Lions held the Tars scoreless for the first four minutes and were able to extend their lead to 20 points.
Saint Leo controlled the game but with just under five minutes to go, Rollins cut the lead to 10 at 58-48 in an attempt to make one final run at the Lions. The Lions stepped up in the next few minutes—hitting a few key shots to prevent Rollins from getting any closer than within eight of Saint Leo.
The Lions went 30-35 from the charity stripe tonight—including a handful down the stretch that sealed the win for Randall's club.
For the game the Lions shot 43.5 percent and 33 percent from behind the arc. The Tars did improve their shooting in the second half and ended the game shooting 38 percent from the field.
Where the Lions really excelled this afternoon was converting Rollins' turnovers into points. Saint Leo outscored Rollins in points off of turnovers 28-8.
The Lions get back in action on Wednesday, Feb. 27 when they welcome the Eckerd College Tritons to the Bowman Center. Tipoff is set for 7:30 p.m.

Hello guys,
Just wondering what it is possible to do after you gain access to a wireless network. I already know you can sniff passwords but is there anything else ?
A third party security audit is the IT equivalent of a colonoscopy. It's long, intrusive, very uncomfortable, and when it's done, you'll have seen things you really didn't want to see, and you'll never forget that you've had one.
I guess you could sniff passwords and find out what passwords you and other family members are using. If you have kids in the house you could run driftnet and see what pictures they are viewing.
I usually just check my email, RSS Feeds, forums and other normal things once I have wireless access. Unless as Streaker said, I am performing an authorized penetration test and then it would depend on what the customer wanted me to do after I gained access to their network.
Sharks can smell one drop of blood in the water...
To be successful here you should read all of the following.
If you are new to Back|Track
Back|Track Wiki
Failure to do so will probably get your threads deleted or worse.
Is it possible to gain access to other computers in the network ? If it's the case, I don't want my neighbours to see my files... lol
I'm not asking to show me how... I was just wondering what could be done.
Like I said, I know hundreds of noobs asked the «how can I break into my friends computer» question. I'm not here for this. But like usual, I'll learn by myself.
I inform the person how I did it, and help them correct the problem. Then I collect my money and go to the beer store.

Topic: Radioembolization Y-90 sirspheres procedure completed
Hi All!
Well, I'm 3 days past having the Y-90 beads inserted and so far so good. I'm feeling OK and in fact spent a good chunk of today at the mall with my husband. I want to give you my experience so far in case anyone else is able to have this treatment.
First, I was *extremely* surprised that my insurance company approved this procedure really quickly. I had read that there had been denials and delays by others insurance companies so I was expecting the worst. The only thing I can figure is that maybe because since I have done every other possible procedure or surgery that quite honestly we're running out of things to try. But believe me, I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth.
So here's the deal. They tell me I may start having flu-like symptoms in a week or two, but maybe not, that could last a week up to 1 month. And some mild paid, but maybe not. It just depends on the person, and how strongly the tumors are affected by the radiation. Currently they have found 20+ tumors in my new liver, most of which are under 1 cm, but 3-4 are at about 1 cm. I'll keep you posted on how that part goes.
As for the procedure itself, it was very much like the "shunt study/liver arteriogram" that was done approx 1 week in advance of the actual procedure. I was given light sedation with a combo of the drugs versed and fentanyl, which allows you to respond to the surgeon's commands (holding your breath for the x-rays) but you don't remember anything. The hardest part for me is having to lie (lay/lie) still on my back for 5-6 hours while the puncture in my femoral artery closes up. I was able to go home the same day, but have been sleeping in the guest bedroom with the door shut so my cats don't get radiated since they like to curl up with me. I did that for 3 nights. I was told after 3 days there really shouldn't be any detectible radiation externally.
I will go for new scans in about 2 months to find out of the beads are working. My doctor wants to do another PET and MRI, he gets a much more complete story of what's going on in there. I'm also scheduled to start a new chemo treatment, Folfox, about 2 weeks after the procedure. I've done a bit of research on it and it seems to be a fairly free-of-tough-side effects treatment. The worst I've read about is sensitivity to cold, cold drinks, cold food, cold air. Lucky me that I'm starting it just as fall is around the corner.
If anyone has any questions, because I'm sure I've glossed or skipped over something, please feel free to ask. I'm very early into this treatment so I will add to this post as I progress through it, and have any new info to add.
(wow! this is a longer post than I thought it would be)

The Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport has Largest Passenger Traffic Percent Increase in Airport History
Greer, SC – More flights to great destinations provided a big boost in passenger traffic at The Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport (GSP) in April.
More than 155,000 passengers traveled through GSP in the month of April causing the 50.33 percent increase in passenger traffic when compared to April 2010. That figure is the greatest percent increase for the month of April in GSP history! There has been a steady increase in passenger traffic at GSP recorded from December 2010 through February 2011 with a boost in March, and now April, from the arrival of Southwest Airlines coupled with a strong competitive response from all the other carriers operating out of GSP.
Traditionally, spring months bring a boost to passenger traffic and across the board, almost every airline operating out of GSP saw a significant increase in passenger enplanements.

East Elmwood community centre will receive a total of $5 million to rebuild.
Earlier this month, the city released its 2013 budget which pledges to use nearly half of the $7 million once set aside to subsidize a private water-park -- $3.2 million jointly supported by city and province -- to rebuild the fire-destroyed East Elmwood community centre.
Today, the city and province announced Winnipeg will also contribute $900,000 from its insurance reserve fund and the province will contribute another $900,00 in incremental funding to help rebuild the community centre.
The new centre will be about 10,000-square-feet in size and include a gymnasium, multi-purpose room, dressing rooms, and an outdoor rink.
Detailed design plans will be drafted this year and construction is expected to tentatively begin in 2014.

PRIME Minister David Cameron visited Wirral today on a tour of Merseyside and Cheshire.
His first stop in the borough was the Hillbark Hotel in Royden Park, where he was the guest of Wirral Chamber of Commerce.
Mr Cameron later made his way to the Wirral Globe offices in Birkenhead, where he met staff – and posed for "selfies" with the sales team - before being interviewed by reporter Emma Rigby and editor Leigh Marles.
Globe (G): Wirral Council is cutting a further 500 jobs this year on top of the 1,200 it shed over the last three years. Our street lights are going off, day centres are closing and special needs schools being eyed-up for closures.
The council says Government budget cuts mean they must rein-in spending by a further £57m over the next two years. We've seen no reduction in our council tax to compensate for this wholesale reduction in services - so haven't the local authority cuts gone far enough now?
Prime Minister (PM): Let's be clear, first of all, in terms of the money that Wirral gets, it gets £169 per household more than the average for England, so I don't think it has an unfair funding settlement. In terms of the spending that it needs to do, this year it is spending £359m.
That is actually more in cash terms than it was spending in 2008, when it was spending £345m.
In 2008, our economy suffered a major contraction.
Our economy got smaller, we've only just got back to our economy being the same size today as it was in 2008 - and yet Wirral Council given the funny situation is able to spend more money than it was spending then, so I don't think it's an unfair situation.
I think they need to look at uncollected council tax, they need to look at using the reserves that they have, which are significant.
And they should also look at sharing council services and management of other services with other neighbouring councils.
They can make their budgets stretch further by doing that so I think if they do those things, there's no need for difficult cuts to frontline services.
G: Fleet Street is viewed with deep suspicion, to say the least, by the public. Do you think this distrust has also infected people's opinions of the local press?
PM: I don't, actually. I think Britain's local newspapers were never caught up with the bad practices that took place in some national newspapers and I think the bonds of trust between local newspapers and local readers are very strong.
Local newspapers at their best are very very strong parts of the local community.
Papers like the Wirral Globe, these are papers that support volunteering, Big Society initiatives, community initiatives; they are very connected with the local community.
G: The under-occupancy subsidy or Bedroom Tax is continuing to cause deep concern in Wirral. Next week the Wirral Campaign against Bedroom Tax has organised a protest march through central Birkenhead.
Is the system working as efficiently and as fairly as you'd expected?
PM: The point about the spare room subsidy is that it's a basic issue of fairness.
If you live in private sector rented accommodation, but you're on housing benefit, you don't get a subsidy for a spare room whereas if you're in council accommodation you do and that's why it's right to make this change.
In terms of what's happening here in Wirral, firstly, there are discretionary housing payments made available by the Government of almost £1m, they are there to help hard cases.
And the second point I make is it is worth remembering that there are still in Wirral over 8,000 people on a housing waiting list who'd love to have a council house.
The whole point about this change is to try to make sure that we use the housing assets we have available most efficiently for families who need housing.
Prime Minister David Cameron and Wirral West MP Esther McVey.
G: Wirral local government workers will be joining national colleagues in staging a second strike in September. Unison says workers are angry at "being exploited and forced to live on poverty pay."
Do you maintain the 1% cap on public sector pay rises is still justified?
PM: I think it is justified for two reasons. One is everybody knows we've had to take long-term decisions about public spending that involve difficult choices, but if we keep pay restrained then it's possible to keep more jobs. If you didn't make that choice, you'd see more jobs lost.
The second thing is I think if you look at what's happened in the private sector, pay rates haven't been going up.
In fact, in some cases people in the private sector have had to take pay freezes or pay cuts.
So I think that 1% is fair and coupled with that of course you've got the Government's tax cuts so you can earn up to £10,000 and not have to pay any income tax, so that's helping.
In the Northwest we've taken 343,000 people out of income tax all together including some people who are relatively low-paid working in local government.
Prime Minister David Cameron calls into the Globe offices during his tour of Merseyside.
G: Wirral is part of the North West's so-called "Ocean Gateway" zone for fracking and shale extraction.
Many Globe readers have expressed serious concerns about the process. Are you personally convinced fracking is entirely safe?
PM: I do think there is a safe way to extract unconventional gas. I think they have demonstrated that in America.
I think we should cautiously and carefully make the most of this technology, because it can lead to competitive energy prices.
It also makes us less reliant on dangerous parts of the world for our oil and gas, and it can create a lot of jobs and wealth locally.
But I know there's concern expressed about one particular potential area - Hilbre Island - but that is owned by the council. If the council don't want to go ahead, they don't have to give permission for it.
Sometimes I think there's some scaremongering being put about, dare I say it, even scaremongering being put about by the party that is actually in control of the council that owns the land.
David Cameron has a read of this week's Globe - which features an article written by the PM himself.
G: Residents in Halton have been told they will not have to pay to cross the new Mersey Gateway Bridge or existing Silver Jubilee Bridge because they are deemed to be local roads.
Do you think it is fair that residents in Wirral and Liverpool have to pay to use the Mersey Tunnels when they are essentially a "local road" too?
PM: I think we need to look at this issue carefully.
We need to first of all stand back and look at the bigger picture, which is it's good because the money is coming into the Northwest to build this vital infrastructure.
We're going to have - as well as the tunnels obviously - two Mersey crossings which is good, but also the opportunity further upstream of another potential bridge in Warrington.
It's good the investment is coming in, but we've got to make sure it's fair in terms of the charges people face, and I quite understand the campaigns that Esther McVey, John Bell, other neighbouring MPs are fighting over these issues.
We should listen carefully to make sure that this investment comes in and that people aren't disadvantaged through excessive charges.
Globe editor Leigh Marles and senior reporter Emma Rigby speak to Prime Minister David Cameron.
G: Do you still believe in the "Big Society" as passionately as you did when first taking office?
PM: Absolutely - and it was a great honour today to hand out one of our 'Points of Light' awards to another Dave, a Dave who broke his back many years ago but didn't let that get in the way of volunteering at a farm that operates as a day centre for adults with learning disabilities up to two days a week. And that's a classic example of the Big Society.
The work that local newspapers do to celebrate volunteering, to celebrate community organisations, to build up the glue of our society, the things that bind us all together, is all part of what the Big Society is about.
Under this Government, volunteering is up, charitable giving is up, the number of community organisations has increased, the power they have to buy community assets, run locals shops.
I think there are lots of examples of the Big Society alive and well here in Wirral.
G: If you had a single message to give out to Wirral Globe readers - we're not that far away from an election – what would it be?
PM: The message would simply be that we have a long-term plan that's turning the country around; it's working. but it's not finished.
Please re-elect us so we can complete the job. There are more people in work, more businesses, the economy is growing - people are beginning to see the benefits of that - but we need to stick to the plan to deliver what we can to truly make this country great again. We're on track, stick with us.

Negro Leagues .:Sep 26 10:.
I am a really big baseball fan. Some people think baseball is boring, etc. etc. What
I enjoy about it most is the history, the fact that it is everyday, you dont have to be over 6 feet tall to be a big leaguer and
of all professional sports in America it is probably the most diverse
as far as ethnic makeup. The best players are White, Black, Asian and Latino. The all star game was in Anaheim this past year and they had a fan day at the Anaheim convention center that I checked out. The fan day had tons of baseball activities plus tons of historical info. One of the most interesting exhibits to me was the Negro League exhibit. If it werent for Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier in baseball who knows where we would be. Jackie Robinson came up through the Negro leagues. They had a wall that had all the old team names and logos of old negro league teams. It
was really interesting to me some of the names, I wonder what went into
the thinking behind the names and how normal it was to distinguish the
team as "Black". Negro League Baseball 1920-1931.

Matsui Challenge 2010 .:Sep 26 10:.
So my buddy B and I had a side bet in our fantasy baseball league this
year. It was called the Matsui challenged. Long story short, I lost
and part of the bet was that we had to take a trip to Denver to watch a
baseball game for the weekend. Along with watching a game we had a
chance to explore Denver for a bit. Here are some flicks. Coors Field
was actually really nice.
We ended up taking a drive up into the mountains one day. There is a road where you can drive into the mountains which apparently is the highest paved road in North America. We didnt make it to the top but the mountain air was fresh and amazing.
Also had a chance to eat some interesting food. Had Buffalo steak which was really really good. Also went to this one spot where they sold some pretty interesting hot dogs.
B had some Rocky Mountain Oysters. If you dont know what they are google it.
You know I had to stop in and do a little digging. Prices were high so I didnt pick up anything, but I had to stop in and take a peek.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 4/11/2012 (1751 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The future of quarterback Buck Pierce, who started and finished just two games in an injury-riddled 2012 season, is the biggest single question mark facing the Winnipeg Blue Bombers as they head into the off-season.
While it's unclear who will be the starter in 2013, head coach Tim Burke said Sunday that one thing is already clear. "I would say there will be competition for the starting position at quarterback."
With a 19-11 victory Saturday afternoon over the Montreal Alouettes in the final professional football game ever to be played at Canad Inns Stadium, the Bombers finished the 2012 CFL season at 6-12 and, for the third time in four years, missed the playoffs.
Pierce and the rest of his teammates spent Sunday cleaning out their lockers and Pierce -- who finished the season on the injured list with a banged-up shoulder -- met with reporters to discuss the season that was and how he sees his immediate future in Winnipeg.
Here's an edited transcript:
Reporter: QB is going to be the biggest question mark in the off-season. Do you expect to be back?
Pierce: "I don't know. Every off-season is different. Obviously the way the season went for me and where we left this year, there's going to be changes. I hope I'm still a part of that. I hope to still play football and I think I can still play football. I'm open to whatever they want to do at that spot. But I'm planning on being back and that's where my mind is at this moment."
Reporter: Would you consider playing here, or anywhere else, in any capacity other than starter?
Pierce: "I'm all for helping the organization. I want to see us be successful and I want to put us in the best possible position to be successful. Obviously that's with me healthy and out there winning games. But I'm open to anything that they want to discuss and we'll go from there."
Reporter: Make the case why you should still be the starter next year.
Pierce: "Well, you know, when I'm healthy I win ball games. That's what it is. The thing is this last season I was injured way too much and we lost way too many games. I guess you could make the case I was a big factor in our record this season because I wasn't on the football field. So I can see both sides of it. I can see the side where, 'Let's do some things to keep Buck upright and he'll win some football games for us.'"
Reporter: Do you see yourself as part of the solution or the problem going forward?
Pierce: "I see myself as part of the solution -- hundred per cent. I don't see my presence being a negative thing. Every quarterback deals with stuff like this. Every team has to go through adversity. When the starter goes down, someone has to come up and step into that role and fill that void. It's like that everywhere -- you have to have depth in all these things. I'm a leader on this team, I'm a leader in this organization and that's what I will continue to be."
Reporter: Would things be easier if some of the younger quarterbacks were closer to your level of play?
Pierce: "Obviously, they had lots of opportunities, probably more opportunities than most backups would ever get in those positions. I think they did some good things. It didn't always add up to wins but I thought they showed a lot of promise."
Reporter: This is the first time you haven't said definitively at the end of a season that you will be the starter next year.
Pierce: "Obviously, that's my mindset. My mindset is get healthy, come back and be the guy. That's my mindset. (But) I understand the situation that they're going to have to do something to add depth or something might happen. But my mindset is I want to play. I feel like I'm the best chance we got. I feel like when I'm healthy and out there playing, I'm as good as anybody. So don't get me wrong... I still have every ounce of confidence in myself and what I can do."
Reporter: Do you feel like you're due to get a break?
Pierce: "I feel like, 'What else can I do?' I truly feel like I do everything right, I do everything in my power to keep my body healthy and live my life the right way. And sometimes it just doesn't work out for you. This was a year I took a lot of hits in situations I don't feel I should have taken hits."
Reporter: Should the league do more to protect quarterbacks?
Pierce: "They say they are. But in the heat of the moment, it's still football and guys are still going to get hit, guys are still going to get beat up out there."
Reporter: But your desire to play is still the same, right?
Pierce: "A hundred percent. But I'm being real too. I understand the situations that I'm going to be put in."
Reporter: Are you just unlucky?
Pierce: "Yeah, I guess. I get asked that a lot. I walk down the street and people say, 'Hey Buck, don't get hurt, stay healthy.' And I'm like, 'Thanks, I appreciate that.' It's not like I'm trying to go out there and get hurt or anything. It was just the nature of the beast this season. Look at the past. Look at 2010 when I dislocated my (elbow). And then you look at last year and then you look at this year. It's just this year was like 2010 for me, where I had to miss a lot of ball games. It's been tough, but I'm looking to bounce back like I did last year."
Reporter: The geniuses out there all say you have to get rid of the ball quicker.
Pierce: "Yeah, they've played the position, I'm sure. Everybody always has their comments. We get rid of the ball actually pretty quick, honestly. And we do quite a bit of things in this offence to protect the quarterbacks. You see where I got hit a lot this year, it was four-man rushes, they weren't even blitzing anybody."
Reporter: So is that saying the offensive line needs to...
Pierce: "I didn't say anything. No, we all got to improve and we've all got to do better."
Reporter: So when you said earlier you got hit too much, is that late hits and maybe not getting rid of the ball soon enough and...
Pierce: "You look at the Toronto game that we won in Toronto. I got hit more in that game than a lot of people get hit all year."
Reporter: And those were like three-step drops.
Pierce: "Yeah."

Discussion of the nature of Ultimate Reality and the path to Enlightenment
Sazar wrote:Thought or awareness as a force akin to gravity.
A person's "spirit" is the absolute center or origin.
His will pulls reality together, through the ether, creating the illusion of mass.
His senses are actually dimensions.
Physical "laws" are simply fields, or webs holding the aspects of the manifested "reality" together.
In this the individual can create as much or as little variety as he wishes.
The spirit is rooted in one metaphysical position and does not "move" or "transition".
Only it's manifestation changes.

Britney Spears is very truly out of her mind
If at any point in your life you ever thought Britney Spears wasn't insane this video should change your mind. You know you're pushing the limits of human stupidity when you make Kevin Federline sound intelligent. It's hard to fathom that this is even real. If you read a transcript you'd think it was a draft for a new Kevin Smith movie. And the fact that this woman has more money than the GDP of Albania (that's probably not true) is depressing on so many levels. If you don't normally watch the videos on the site I highly recommend you check this one out. If nothing else because the very meaning of life is contained in it somewhere. Along with burping, moaning, and the strangest behavior you will ever witness in your entire life.
Thanks to the saucy Kirsten and Selene for the tip.

The hustle and bustle of the holidays come and go, New Years resolutions are made (and accomplished of course!), roses and romance are in the air, and then by the time March comes all I can think about is Celebrating Elephants is almost here!!! You thought I was going to say the Easter Bunny didn't you? For the past seventeen years, Oakland Zoo has put on this wonderful fundraiser to support African Elephant conservation, part of our duty as a zoological institution. All of the proceeds go to the Amboseli Trust for Elephants in Kenya, led by world-renowned researcher Cynthia Moss. Almost everything we know about African Elephants today is through her ongoing work. Cynthia has led a research team at Amboseli National Park for the past forty years, studying every aspect of these elephants lives; generations of births and deaths, droughts and rains, and unfortunately witnessing the ongoing devastation of the ivory trade. One of the most important aspects of the researchers being a part of the everyday lives of these elephants is that their presence in the park provides the elephants with some protection from ivory poachers. The researchers are able to work with the local villages as well as the rangers to help keep the elephants as safe as possible. Unfortunately with the uprising interest and value of ivory, along with corrupt government, an estimated 40,000 elephants are being poached every year throughout the continent. Therefore, we need to do everything we can to help stop elephants from going extinct, and that includes your support!!Celebrating Elephants is held in two parts, the first is a family fun and adventure packed day which will be on Saturday, May 25th. This will include opportunities for families to visit an elephant up close, create treat box enrichment for the elephants to eat, do behavioral observations of the elephants on exhibit, as well as eat cotton candy and get their faces painted! This is our opportunity to increase awareness of the ongoing and increasing destruction of the ivory trade, as well as the cruelty of the circus. Kids will have the chance to see how we safely and humanely care for our elephants.
The second portion of the event will be an evening of h'ordeurves and spirits, accompanied by a silent auction and guest speaker on Friday May 17th. This year we have the great pleasure of welcoming friend and mentor, Ed Stewart, co-founder of the Performing Animal Welfare Society; a leader in animal welfare and rescue. Since 1984, PAWS has been at the forefront of efforts to rescue and provide appropriate, humane sanctuary for animals who have been the victims of the exotic and performing animal trades. Ed will share the interesting and heartwarming stories of the lives of the elephants living in the sanctuary of ARK 2000 in the San Andreas hills of California.
Over the past sixteen years we have raised over 200,000 dollars for the Trust. With support from zoo guests, volunteers, and staff we all work together to put on and have fun at an amazing event. We also could not be as successful without help from the zoo supporters, local businesses, and artists who make donations for our silent auction. This 17th year is dedicated to and in memory of Pat Derby, co-founder of Performing Animal Welfare Society, a dear friend and endless fighter for animal welfare and rescue. Please come join us for one or both events, and help us celebrate elephants with the respect, compassion, and awareness they deserve!

I do a lot of straight grilling and smoking, but I haven't had a rotisserie for 5 years since I couldn't find one for the CG Outlaw at a decent price. I also picked up a small rotisserie for $5 at an auction, but it was too small to fit the big Outlaw either.
Because we get a lot of fire bans up here in Alberta, that also means that sometimes during the year we can't grill on charcoal, either, so I bought a MasterChef gas grill at the end of last season. Since I already has a rotisserie I figured I might try it out on the new grill.
I was a little concerned because the motor seemed a bit puny for a big roast, but for $5 there was no harm in trying.
This is just a basic 3 lb. sirloin roast. I rubbed it with Steven's Lone Star rub and studded it with garlic slivers.
Here's another angle. It was a really nice-looking roast before I got my paws on it.
Rotisserie cooking is almost "set and forget" cooking. I left the outside two burners on medium heat and left the inner two burners off. I also kept the rotisserie burner on for the first 30 mintes to develop a sear on the meat, but turned it off afterwards.
That's the thing about rotisserie burners - they're a nice feature on a grill but they should be used in addition to the regular burners. They're excellent for crisping up a chicken skin or searing the outside of a roast, but I've found they cook the outside too much while leaving the insides raw if you use them by themselves. That's why I only use a rotisserie burner at certain times in a cook rather than all the way through.
You could also use a weed torch for the same effect, though.
I left the roast on the spit for 1 hour and 45 minutes. I turned the rotisserie burner back on for the last 15 minutes but that's all that was needed. It turned out very nicely done.
In fact, it was almost too nicely done. This is the internal temp after a 15-minute rest on the spit with the burner off. It should be roughly medium-well, which is a tad more well-done than I normally like but still fine.
As it happens, the roast turned out fine and the drippings made a nice gravy. For most of the roast I let it cool off and sliced it for sandwiches. The crust on this roast was unbelievable, though - lots of taste.
A lot of grillers overlook the rotisserie as a great way to cook big hunks of meat, but I will be using mine a lot from now on.

Is "cold turkey" the best way to wean calves off of milk? New York-based calf and heifer management specialist Sam Leadley thinks not.
In a recent issue of his regular publication, "Calving Ease," Leadley points out that many well-managed calf programs can have calves gaining 1.7 to 2.0 pounds per day at eight weeks of age. But if calves are pulled completely off of milk overnight, that pace of gain is bound to be interrupted as calves transition onto a fully solids-based diet.
Leadley prefers a more gradual approach, such as feeding calves at half-ration milk for one transition week to build up to 3 to 4 pounds of starter grain consumption before eliminating milk entirely.

How is Abc.php related to the previous lot?
Is Abc.php being included? Is a form submitssion taking the person to Abc.php? Is Abc.php accessed by clicking a link? Or is something else happening there.

If the $tt variable is declared in PHP in part 1, it should automatically be available at all other parts of the PHP code after that.
but its not constant.. $tt is changing by for loop
Let's get some more details about what you want then.
Well in that case, you can have the javascript replace the contents of the styled_popup div.

Food Labeling 101: Understanding the Nutrition Facts Labelby Katie Cavuto-Boyle in Grocery Shopping, February 25, 2012
For a long time, I was that person awkwardly standing in the middle of a supermarket aisle staring at the myriad of cereals wondering which was right for me. But the reality is the Nutrition Facts label on the back of each box provides me with all the information I need to choose the cereal that best fits my diet. I have found that many of my clients choose one section of the food label such as calories or total fat, and they base their food choices off that number. But it's important to understand the whole label and realize that it's a wonderful tool you can use to investigate exactly what each product contains and which product is the best choice. Remember, real, whole foods like fruits and vegetables are always the best bet. But when it comes to convenience foods, the food label and especially the ingredient list is the perfect guide to help you make better choices.
The ingredient list is the last section of the Nutrition Facts label, but certainly not least, as some may say it's the most important. Here you'll find a list of the ingredients in the product. Ingredients are listed in order of amount by weight, starting with the largest amounts. This can be the most important information if there are ingredients you're avoiding for one reason or another. For example, it is wise to avoid products that list sugar or a sugar derivative as one of the first foods in the ingredient list.
The ingredient list can be a great tool for you to use in making healthy food choices. Keep these simple rules in mind when choosing products and you will likely avoid highly processed items, which can be detrimental to your health.
- Choose foods with ingredients you can pronounce as they're likely to contain whole foods instead of additives, preservatives and chemicals.
- Avoid foods with long ingredient lists as they often contain many "non-food" products.
- Food for thought: Think about the ingredients you would use if making a recipe from scratch and only buy foods containing those ingredients or close to it. An example is pasta sauce. It contains tomatoes, garlic, onions, oil and herbs. Choose a store-bought sauce with those ingredients for as close to the real thing as possible.
What tips and tricks do you keep in mind while reading the food label?

Dumpling making is the perfect project for a Chinese New Year celebration, a Valentine's Day dinner-for-two or any ho-hum weekend at home. Rolling the wrappers, mixing up fillings and all that folding, crimping and shaping can be the ultimate social activity – it's surprisingly easy and even misshapen mistakes make good eats.
Wrappers: You can always buy pre-made wrappers from the refrigerated section at some grocery stores and many Asian markets. But, like homemade pizza dough, fresh wrappers really are the best part of homemade, hand-formed dumplings. I followed the lead of Asian Dumplings author and blogger Andrea Nguyen, making my own wrappers (it just takes flour and water!) and then rolling them out into small circles. Catch Andrea's video how-tos here.Dumplings with Homemade Wrappers
Fillings: Whether you go with a traditional Pork and Cabbage Dumpling, or venture into veggie varieties or even fish dumplings (I made these with Cod fish), there's a dumpling to match every occasion and preference. One secret ingredient not to skip is Shaoxing rice wine – it adds a little something special to dumpling fillings and can be found in Chinese markets or liquor stores.
The Folding: Watch Martin Yan give Tyler a quick dumpling-making lesson, including folding how-tos for wontons and pot stickers. Or, check out Andrea's helpful guides and tips.There's more than one way to crimp, shape and fold dumplings.
Cooking: You can boil, fry, pan-fry or steam dumplings. To give your kitchen an instant dim sum restaurant vibe, invest in an inexpensive bamboo steamer.A bamboo steamer does double duty as a serving dish.
Tip: You can never have too many dumplings. They freeze beautifully and make great afternoon snacks or quick dinners.
Recipes to Try:Start with Ching's Pork and Prawn Dumplings.

Did you know?
The term Cape Dutch doesn't apply only to architecture. It also refers to a style of furniture from the same era.
The Cape Dutch architecture style has its roots in medieval Holland and Germany with strong French and Indonesian influences. The early houses were single-storey, usually with three rooms. As people in the Cape became more affluent in the 1800s the floor plans became more elaborate and the houses larger. The houses also became more ornate with the distinctive front gable making its first appearance.
The basic style was always the same though. The houses were built with clay or rubble cemented with lime mortar. The roofs were thatched and the walls were painted with whitewash, regardless of the period.
The style is common throughout the Cape, but is particularly prevalent in the wine region - especially in Stellenbosch and Franschhoek. There is even a museum in Stellenbosch - the Burgerhuis Museum - where you can see the furnishings and embellishments of the different periods.
Although there are lots of examples of Cape Dutch architecture there are a few specific buildings you should endeavour to see. Vergelegen, previous Cape Governor Willem Adriaan van der Stel's house, is the oldest surviving example of this colonial Cape architecture. The house can be found in Somerset West just outside of Cape Town.
De Tuynhuys next to Company Gardens in Cape Town is the president's home when he is in residence in the Cape and is well worth a look. Secunde's House is located in the Castle of Good Hope (also in Cape Town), and is well worth a visit.
In the centre of Cape Town is Heritage Square, which is populated with a number of Cape Dutch buildings, some of which house excellent restaurants, making them worth the visit for more reasons than one. The square also houses the oldest grape-bearing vine in South Africa.
If you can't get out to the wine regions then go and explore Groot Constantia wine farm in the southern suburbs of the city.

Best time to visit
Summer is always best in the Cape.
Tours to do
Do a tour of the winelands and get your fill of Cape Dutch architecture at the same time. Most tour operators can arrange a wine tour.
What will it cost
Looking at the architecture is free. Some of the museums charge an entrance fee, and the wine can get rather expensive.

Did you know?
Designed by architects Hans and Roelf Botha, the State Theatre in Pretoria was once the largest reception venue of performing arts in the southern hemisphere.
Surrounded by high-rises and the capital's hustle and bustle, the South African State Theatre in Pretoria is not just devoted to the promotion of the performing arts, but is itself a major drawcard for tourists, thanks to its architectural splendour.
Occupying an entire block in the city centre, the State, as it's commonly known, consists of five theatres, a large public square embracing pedestrian patronage, restaurants and a coffee shop.
More importantly, since staging its first show in 1981, the State Theatre in Pretoria has featured a wide range of productions including opera, ballet, musicals, drama, cabaret and children's theatre.
In 2006, the South African State Theatre affirmed its position as the premier venue for large-scale productions when its production of Swan Lake by the St Petersburg Ballet Theatre drew packed houses.
As one of the principal receiving houses for ballet performances on the sub-continent, opening night of Swan Lake at the State played out like a who's who of people from powerful sectors of sub-Saharan society.
But it's not the only headline-making show that the State Theatre has catered for. Many curtains have been lifted here on world-class productions including Cats, Phantom of the Opera, The Sound of Music, and South Africa's own Sarafina!, a musical tour de force by impresario Mbongeni Ngema.
Situated in a city known for its spacious performing arts venues, the State Theatre is unrivalled not only by any other dance theatre in Pretoria or any other city in Africa, but can hold its own against the best that the biggest has to offer, including the Sydney Opera House.
Its many spacious theatres, nooks, crannies and maze of connecting corridors offer audiences much more than a night of performing art.
A dramatic edifice in itself, going to the State Theatre in Pretoria is an experience that stays with people long after the show's curtain has come down.

Look, I don't think I'm breaking news here by telling you that David Wright is having a spectacular season.
But there's a pretty good case to be made right now that he's having the greatest season of any position player in Mets history.
Wright, through 106 games, has played in 102. His OPS+ is 170.
Do you know which Mets hitter has posted an OPS+ better than that?
No one.
Howard Johnson is closest, with a 169 in 1989. Darryl Strawberry put up a 165 in his should-have-been-MVP season in 1988. John Olerud's .354 batting average in 1998 produced a 163. Mike Piazza's best season, 2000, matches up with Bernard Gilkey's 1996, both checking in at 155.
So Wright, as of now, is ahead of all of them, and every other Met, ever.
Add in his plus defense, and Wright already has the 18th-best season, per wins above replacement, in Mets history, with 5.7. That's in 2/3 of a season. If he keeps playing this well, he has a good chance to pass the Mets all-time record holder for WAR in a season, with 8.0.
That would be David Wright, 2007.
Not a bad season. Not a bad career.

I'm a sucker for fall. You should all know that by now. Bring me the dark, rich, and warm tones of my favorite colors. Those would also be known as the "jewel" tones. I'm already dreaming of colder weather and the opportunity to wear sweaters and coats. This summer has been way too hot for me!
I've already started internet window shopping and of course I visit the ASOS Curve web site. I mean…who hasn't? LOL! I noticed they were carrying a lot of my favorite fall colors. I adore red, navy, mustard and winter whites. There are so many options!

TRAFFORD earned a precious and hard fought point on Tuesday night in their Evo Stik League Division One North encounter on the Wirral.
The uneven surface favoured the more direct and physical approach adopted by the home side with Trafford struggling to play with their normal fluency and composure.
After just three minutes the visitors were almost caught out when right back Ally Brown carelessly conceded possession and John Couch fired wide from 15 yards.
Trafford keeper Tom Read then produced two fine blocks to deny Joe Evans and Lairds giant striker Aaron Bowen before a right wing corner ended with Mike Grogan glancing a header just wide of Read's goal.
Garry Vaughan's young side had to wait until the 28th minute for their first attempt on goal, Shelton Payne working a short corner on the left and blasting in a drive that Kevin Atherton pushed behind.
Liam Shipton then attempted an audacious chip from 20 yards that Atherton tipped over but the half ended with Lairds pushing forward once more and Tom Read producing another fine save to deny John Couch from point blank range.
Trafford were on top in the opening stages of the second period with Michael Oates back-heeling against the foot of the post following a long throw in by Steve Mason and the deadlock was finally broken in the 52nd minute when Kamahl Whight burst through from the left, held off a challenge by Potter and cooly placed the ball wide of the advancing Atherton.
However, the visitors joy was short lived and four minutes later Laird's levelled when a neat move down the left ended with Freddie Potter cracking a low drive into the bottom corner from 25 yards.
Back came Trafford and Shelton Payne set up Liam Shipton but Atherton flung himself to his left to save before performing further heroics with an acrobatic dive to thwart a curling drive by Payne.
At the other end Tom Read tipped a Dan O'Brien thunderbolt past the post and despite some late pressure from the home side the score remained at 1-1 when the final whistle arrived.
All in all a draw was probably a fair result from a game that was a contrast in styles but that had been played in great spirit by two fully committed teams.
Trafford will be hoping to return to winning ways on Saturday when they entertain Lancaster City at Shawe View, kick off 3 p.m., and then on Tuesday night they play host to Leek Town for a League Cup Tie kicking off at 7-45 pm.

Topic: Tough week
My husband, John, hilar cc, is having his PTCD drains replaced today with metal stents. His radiation/ chemo was supposed to start Monday, but has been delayed to have these stents placed. HE's had several blockages and two infections with the PTCD's so hopefully this solves the problems.
While I have no issues with the drains when they need to be un-capped it always upsets John and makes him feel really nauseous. I wish I could help him get over that - I keep assuring him that it doesn't bother me in the least to empty the bags or change the dressings. He's never been sick a day in his life and has always been there for me when I was ill with depression, recovering from a heart attack and other surgeries....I've always been the patient. I wish I could take his place. He!s been a little down this week and It breaks my heart. We have so much to be thankful for and that is what I keep focussing on (as does John). I think he's just realizing how long this journey is going to be and it's all bit overwhelming. We were both just saying this morning that we need to see CC as a chronic illness, not a life sentence. Our eldest daughter is getting married the end of April so that will be our focus for now. Even though he is on the Mayo protocol for a liver transplant, I am not pinning my hopes on that as the only positive outcome. Whatever happens we'll face it together and try to make the most of every day.
So, Next week he'll have a renal scan done and hopefully the radiation simulation so he can start the radiation/chemo ASAP. I just keep thinking that they found the tumour in July but there has been no chemo or radiation done yet (because of high bilirubin, infections and drain issues).....let's just say my imagination is running wild. I am doing a lot of self talking lately and working hard to keep fear out and let hope in. I appreciate this wonderful site, it's very hard to talk to others about cc as no one seems to have ever heard of it. That's another mission of mine; educating as many people as I can about cc and raising awareness. It's such a little thing, but it's what I can do for now.

A PERPLEXED Fordingbridge farmer has been left trying to crack the case of a strange coloured batch of eggs.
As featured in the Forest Journal last year, Eileen Witt of Midgham Farm thought there had been some sort of fowl-up after finding a half white, half brown egg in her barn.
But because there are 3,500 free-range chickens, finding the hen who had laid the mysterious egg was a mission impossible.
And over the last few weeks, more patterned eggs have been laid - leaving Mrs Witt scratching her head.
She said: "I have been farming since 1978 and have been primarily chicken farming since 1987 and I have never come across such a strange batch of eggs.
"The only explanation I can think of is that the egg got stuck as it was being laid and was then oxidised, although this is by no means proven.
"Since the brown and white egg, several more odd eggs have been laid, which look like they have been splattered with paint.
"Although speckled eggs are quite common, these ones are speckled on just half the egg, which is something I have never seen before.
"The speckles are actually calcium deposits from their diets.
"Chickens need to eat grit and oyster shell to help develop the shells."
Along with her chickens, Mrs Witt has a small herd of beef cattle and sheep, which she keeps to keep the grass low in the chicken fields.
"I grew up on a farm in Damerham and so farming is in my blood," she said.
"It is a way of life.
"But in all these years of keeping chickens I have never seen eggs like these."
Mrs Witt spends her days tending to the chickens, grading the eggs into small, medium and large, before delivering them to shops around the area.
If anyone would like to buy her eggs, they can be bought from Midgham Farm, Lomer Lane, Fordingbridge.

WITH Wanderers' engine room suddenly looking more bountiful, will Dougie Freedman's new options give him a midfield on which he can hang his preferred style of football?
The Whites boss has made no secret of his plans to alter the way the club played under his predecessor Owen Coyle and, it can be argued, for the few men that preceded him.
Possession has been the name of the game since the Scot's arrival in October, and changes on the training pitch – where intensity has become a buzz word – have hinted that fitness has also been an issue he has been keen to address.
The alterations have not been without their drawbacks, and though the improvements in fitness have been evident, Wanderers have tactically at times looked like a side at odds with the style they were being asked to play.
Frustrating afternoons against the likes of Barnsley, Sheffield Wednesday and Ipswich Town at the Reebok epitomised the teething troubles Freedman has experienced, and the manager admits his side have had to learn on the hop, whilst trying to claw their way back up the Championship table.
Nowhere more has this been the case than in midfield, where the lack of options have seemingly been an issue since the devastating loss of Fabrice Muamba last March, and his partner in crime Stuart Holden just five months before.
Josh Vela had only just broken into Coyle's first team when he was struck down with a knee injury, and the midfield jinx continued for Freedman when Mark Davies fell awkwardly at Huddersfield Town last month and damaged shoulder ligaments.
Keith Andrews' progress since signing in the summer has been hampered by a persistent Achilles problem, while Chung-Yong Lee has only recently looked back to full fitness after more than a year out with a broken leg.
No wonder, then, that the recent return of Holden and Josh Vela seems like the perfect opportunity to recycle the old footballing cliché about them 'feeling like new signings'.
Freedman now has two major players, both technically adept enough to blend straight in to his pass-heavy style of play.
Their comeback does not, however, mean the end of the road for those who have been the mainstay of the midfield since August.
Jay Spearing has held the fort impressively since the start of the season, and likewise Chris Eagles has played more games than any other outfield player at the club.
Darren Pratley has also emerged with some encouraging displays in recent weeks to further his own claim for a more regular starting spot, while Davies is only a fortnight away from rejoining full training.
Given Freedman's penchant and approach to squad rotation – it seems possible that everyone can be kept happy at the same time.
Such is the manager's methodical and analytical approach to training that he claimed recently to be able to forecast his team three weeks in advance.
Selection on a matchday is based equally on form, physical condition and the intensity at which a player is training.
That would certainly fly in the face of those who claim Eagles' recent form has suffered for having been played in 26 league games so far but would explain why some players – Martin Petrov being a case in point – were used sparingly.
More options will give Freedman a chance to keep his midfield ticking over at an even higher rate or perhaps even experiment with a different formation than the 4-2-3-1 he has employed almost exclusively since arriving at the club.
Petrov's departure to Espanyol means the squad is now bereft of out-and-out wingers and he is unlikely to be replaced like-for-like. Freedman is, however, on the lookout for someone who could occupy either wide role in his midfield five and would ideally have him in place before the January 31 deadline.
