Essendon AFL coach Mark Thompson hit back at criticism over his comments on the Bombers' recovery last week, branding it "outrageous ... utter rubbish".
The Bombers next face Collingwood in their Anzac Day fixture and might regain Brendon Goddard (groin), Tom Bellchambers (ankle) and Jason Winderlich (rested).
But on Tuesday, it was Thompson's post-match media conference that proved as much a talking point as player availability and his side's poor showing against St Kilda.
Instead of using a six-day turnaround following a game in the scorching heat of Perth as an excuse for a listless loss to the Saints, Thompson had instead questioned his charges' recovery.
Club great Matthew Lloyd termed it a "whack for the fitness coach ... and the senior players" on Channel Nine, while other pundits remarked Thompson should be in control of such issues.
"For people to say I should know is just utter rubbish," Thompson said on Tuesday.
"I said from my experience, from knowing good players - they get ready and do extra recovery sessions in their own time.
"I know Gary Ablett used to turn up to the club at midnight or go down to the beach at midnight after a day game. That's what they're expected to do."
Thompson offered a similarly stern rebuke to the suggestion he'd drawn a divide between coach and players.
"I found it outrageous, because that's not what I said," he said.
"... I just spoke to them (the players). I think they're ok with what I said - hopefully.
"If they're not, it's not up to me really to be their father. They've just got to look after their own careers."
Thompson was confident Winderlich would return, but admitted Goddard and Bellchambers would be tougher decisions.
"You have to be careful; we don't want to put him out there and risk a recurrence," Thompson said of Goddard.
"He'll put his hand up.
"They're the hard ones, when the player wants to play and we're not sure if he should."
Jake Carlisle was among those put on notice by Thompson, who said the versatile big man wasn't working hard enough in games.
"He's not out of the side at the moment," Thompson said.
"So if he really wants to play, he'll show that."

under a rock
I hope everyone is having a good week! I know the weather has been going crazy all over the place lately. We had our crazy snow last weekend but this week has been pretty normal so far.
I finally got back on the trail today, just a short 3 miles, to check out part of the trail for the race my friend is putting on this Saturday. With all the wet weather lately it's going to be a red mud fest! Glad I'll just be standing in the rain (70% chance of it for the race) pointing runners in the proper direction and not trying to battle the mud with an iffy Achilles.
I hope the race goes nice and smooth. It's the first race my friend has directed and she is stressed out. I know she's ready to get this over with so she can be a little less stressed for awhile. Hopefully it will go well enough that there will be plans for next year. 90 people are signed up, 50 for the 5k and 40 for the 10 mile. Fingers crossed for lots of fun on Saturday!
Hi folks! I don't know about you but I'll be glad to put February behind me. I've been under the weather for most of it with practically no running at all. I'm signed up for Montara Mountain HM (Pacifica, CA) tomorrow, which is a trail run up a mountain, with 2900' elevation gain. I think we'll be hiking most of it, but should be a nice day out there with sunshine and mild temps. In the good news department, I got a nice coupon code from Coastal Trail Runs for volunteering at a race in January, and I'm thinking of putting it towards a 50K in June. Guess that means I'd better get running again!
I hope you enjoy your race tomorrow. Looks like a great one. You should have some nice scenery to enjoy when you need to walk.
My friend's trail race went great today. It was a steady rain the whole morning. It was a total mud fest out there. By the end of the race the trails were flooded in some areas. I was at the entrance and exit to the trails pointing everyone in the right direction. Everyone looked tired but happy upon exiting the trail. Lots of mud up to the knees and plenty of muddy red bottoms. All the runners seemed to speak positively about their experience today. I think there will be a second running of the race next year! I'm so proud of my friend for pulling it all together!
I'm probably going to bail on running today. I'm exhausted from standing in the rain and can't fathom heading back outside today even though it has stopped raining. I'm even already in my pj's. Hopefully I can at least get motivated to walk the dogs later.

The Return of Hand Washing
Columnist Teri Agins answers readers' fashion questions
Q: Maybe it's me, but I am not having luck washing many of my clothes. My tights and stretch pants for the gym tend to get lint on the seams, even though I wash them separately. Recently, the soft padding in my bra cups bunched up and the underwire was twisted—even though I used the gentle cycle. What do you think is happening?
—L.T., New York
A: It's starting to look like the washing machine didn't really liberate us from Saturday washing chores. Too many of today's high-tech...

They do the click & switch, fake overdraft emails from my bank, fake Etsy invoices to pay, rearranges my desktop and applications on my computers, and has infiltrated my computers so much I'm getting new computers to set up at a different location with new passwords, and new router address and password. They have cost my family thousands of dollars and I'm concerned we might lose our house if it continues. I'm out in the country and disabled and most of my income comes from my business online. I have turned them into the BBB and the FTC.
They sign up for JAVA webhosting and require that you pay for 1 year upfront because it is JAVA webhosting. They steal your domain name from you by actually registering it to their name and then start a bid on it when you cancel with the service starting at $200 much higher than the actual cost of registering it ($35/year). Then they sabotage your server and the software and say they are having hardware problems until the end of the 14-day money back guarantee period. Then you never hear from them. They do not answer your calls and completely ignore you. This is a scam. They are likely to be the Russian Mob operating out of state of IL. First, they ridicule you with trivial technical mishaps such as overwriting a very basic file on the system and then the rest is BS. They do whatever it takes to keep you publishing your site.
I chose MidPhase as my webhost because I had saw they offered good hosting with large amounts of bandwidth and webspace for a cheap amount per month. Their plan was for $7.95 a month paid annually plus a 30 dollar one time non-refundable setup fee that included free domain name registration. Upon signing up I received an email that stated I had signed up for Bi-Annual billing which was not what I chose on their website. No where on the website http://www.midphase.com is Bi-Annual billing an option, so I decided this was an error in billing and submitted a customer support ticket into their online support services. I received a reply that this had been forwarded to their billing department and someone got back to me that I would be charged more if I wanted to downgrade my plan into annual payment and that Bi-Annual payment was clearly visible as a selectable option. I had many other people try to find a Bi-Annual option and all failed.
Now it is march, about 3 weeks later and I still have no replies to my support ticket which was pre-maturely closed (support ticket number **). I asked for three options, either downgrade my plan to annual payment and refund one years worth of hosting which was billed to my credit card, full refund or a refund without the 30 dollar non-refundable fee. I asked for a full refund because it is three weeks later and my website is still non-operational when it was supposed to be running 3-5 days after payment. I feel cheated because I am paying for hosting on a non-operational website that has no services used. So in short I am very unhappy with the business conduct, misleading customer support, non operational website and false billing to my credit card for an option that isn't selectable.
Desired Settlement: Refund. Settlement Explanation: I would like either a refund of one year of hosting, full refund or refund of two years hosting minus the 30 dollar non refundable fee.

I'm willing to pay money for something if it's good, but it's very difficult to browse web sites to find fonts that have what I need -- which is, good vowel & trope placement and kamatz katan support.
So far the only font I've found in the entire world that does this is Ezra SIL, which is a great technical achievement.
But, I'd like to find something that's a little bit cleaner and more modern looking, like Hadassah.
I'm afraid to just go out and buy a "Hadassah" font because it's likely that I'd get something that wouldn't play nicely with ta'amim and kamatz katan, which is an absolute necessity for me.
So, does anyone have any suggestions? (Janet...?)
Thank you

These plates were part of last week's birthday celebrations and I did not get the chance to post them! Too much birthday, I guess ;)
I have terrible handwriting, it is not much of a secret, but I figured a little trick around that for these plates! If you are like me and LOVE beautiful hand lettered anything, but have the handwriting of a doctor, than this DIY is yours!!
Glass Plates ( I pick up mine at the thrift store for $1 or less)
Paint Pen
*If you want to use the font I used, you can download the template here!
When you select Print, go to more options on your Print window and select flip or reverse image in the printer settings.
Tape the word to the front of your plate (the side you eat on)
Flip over the plate and trace over the word.
When you are done tracing your word, draw confetti (if you wish) and Let dry (only takes a few minutes).
Flip over and you have a painted plate you can eat on! All the paint is on the outside of the plate!
Hand wash with care!

Garner Releases Fall Schedule for 2013-14 Season
WINTER PARK, Fla. (June 20, 2013) - Known for competing against some of the biggest programs in the country, the Rollins women's golf team continues the historic trend as head women's golf coach Julie Garner announces her fall schedule for the 2013-14 seaon. Rollins features a pair of SEC tournaments to begin the Tars' quest for the program's 13th national title.
Garner and the fourth-ranked Tars kickoff the season in the Lone Star State at the "Mo"morial, hosted by Texas A&M University. The season opener is slated for September 9-11 in Bryan, Texas. The following weekend, Rollins will head to Knoxville, Tenn. for the Mercedes Benz Intercollegiate hosted by the University of Tennessee on September 20-22.
"We are excited about our fall tournament schedule as we have the opportunity to compete in two events hosted by SEC schools. The "Mo"morial and the Mercedes Benz Intercollegiate are both new events for us; playing in those tournaments will be a great way to kick off the season," said head coach Julie Garner.
Two weeks later, the Tars will compete at the Guy Harvey Invitational hosted by Nova Southeastern on October 7-8. Rollins will have a glance of what's to come at the 2014 Sunshine State Conference Championship with most of the competition at the Guy Harvey hailing from the SSC.
Wrapping up the fall schedule will be a trip to Delware as the No. 4 Tars compete in the University of Delaware Blue Hen Invitational on October 26-27.
"Delaware's event will be a special event for Clara (Teixeira) as her sister will be competing for the Blue Hens this year," added Garner.
"As usual, our players need to be disciplined and focused with their academic workloads, along with our high expectations for practice and competition. I am confident they will be up to the challenges on and off the course."

The adjustment screw can be backed out about 2-4 turns depending on how low you want it to idle.
Are you using a standard Thermostat (dial or digital) or a Coaltrol?
If you can't hear it clicking on/off when you turn up the standard thermostat, then something with the relay box or thermostat is not working.
Yes, it might need cleaned, if you are getting a good burn on the grates, but low, something is not making it kick up to full burn.
The grates can be removed and cleaned under them, many small fines fall thru, you could remove the combustion blower from the back and vacuum it out with a small tube in and under the grates without removing
I have a chimney exhaust.
I had the screw backed out 2 turns at initial install and wanted more heat, so I had it turned all the way in and was getting complete burn that way.
I have a digital Honeywell thermostat.
I'm not sure about hearing a click when t stat kicks on, stove is in basement and can't be in 2 places at once lol. But when heat is called the plate does indeed run continuous.
Heres a write up I did a while back. hope it helps.! I'm going on my 12th year with my keystoker. as long you clean it out faithfully in the spring and oil everything. it shouldn't give you too many problems.

Awhile back, I suggested that the next Community Scrapbook center around sharing/creating characters that look like celebrities. Hmm, that didn't seem to work out too well. I only received a few emails and some of those have links that no longer work. Thanks to Grayewolf for the one above (likeness: Adrianna Lima). I also saw this post in the forums today — I can't tell if it's Christian Bale, Jared Leto, or someone else.
Rather than coming up with a new Community Scrapbook on my own, send your suggestions to [email protected], or just post in the comments section below. Try to keep in mind themes that will work with both The Elder Scrolls and Fallout.

CodePlexProject Hosting for Open Source Software
Just subscribed to SQL Azure and downloaded SQLAzureMW 3.7.7 then tried to migrate one of my databases.
All is working well (connections, scripts and .dat files creation, ...) until the message "Execute script against destination server?". When I press Yes, the process starts : the "CREATE TABLE....", "CREATE VIEW..." get
Success lines but when it comes to upload data, the SQLAzureMW is crashing with message "SQLAzureMW has stopped working"....
Some of my tables have VARCHAR(MAX) fields and some of my tables have more than 200 colums... Has SQL Azure some limits in comparison with SQL Server 2008 R2 ?
Thanks for your future replies.
It seems that I found the problem : one my schema is named A4#COMMONDEMO and when I try to transfer data to this schema, the SQLAzureMW crashes, so the character # seems the problem. Can you confirm ?
The schema could be created on SQL Azure and the related tables could be created too : only the data upload crashes...
Hi Phil,
You are correct.
I have to trap special characters because they don't play well with the file system and BCP.
I actually fixed this awhile back, but had my code torn apart to include new functionality for SQL Azure Federation so I have not posted any fixes for a couple of months.
If you don't mind, download v3.7.8 and try again to verify that I did fix the issue.
If not, please let me know.
Hi George,
Just downloaded v. 3.7.8 and I confirm you that the # problem in the schema is resolved !
I found another error related with authorization :
09.11.2011 09:15:13 --> Error #: 15151 -- Cannot find the user 'a4phm', because it does not exist or you do not have permission.
CREATE SCHEMA failed due to previous errors.
IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.schemas WHERE name = N'A4#COMMON')
EXEC sys.sp_executesql N'CREATE SCHEMA [A4#COMMON] AUTHORIZATION [a4phm]'C:\Users\phm>bcp pkltest.A4#COMMONDEMO.app in "C:\_Test\Scripts\zazdev\A4#COMMONDEMO.app_bcp.ass" -c -U email@example.com -S tcp:XXXXXXX.database.windows.net -P XXXXX
the script includes the authorization (a4phm which is the user on my local database). Is this normal ?
Thanks for your future answer.
Great tool !
Migration of users, such as a4pm, is not handled by SQLAzureMW.
You will have to migrate your users by hand first and then run the script.
This is something that I need to work on, but have not had the time to get it included or figured out how to get the actual password for the users.
What you can do if you want to is edit the script generated by SQLAzureMW before you run against target server and change a4pm to dbo and it will probably work.
Sorry I don't have a batter answer for you,
Hi George !
Thanks for your reply. This works now like a charm.
Cheers from Switzerland !

The Gypsy Moth
All have not been so situated as to give the gypsy moth much study and for that reason have not given them much thought, but as it has become so serious a matter it seems to be the duty of everyone to give it a thought. For the benefit of those who know little of the insects' habits I would say that for more than 100 years the gypsy moth has made great ravages in the European and Asiatic countries. In the year 1752 gardens, vineyards and forests were stripped of their foliage in Ger¬many. In 1794 much damage was done in different parts of Germany. In 1817, in France, the damage done was immense. In 1837, 1839 and 1842 they completely devastated a region about Toulouse, France, of about 230 square miles. In 1851-53 the zoological gardens at Berlin were completely ruined. In 1878 they so abounded in Zruier, Russia, that in migrating from one forest to another they marched over and literally covered the walls of houses found in their way. Many more instances are recorded of the damage done by them in foreign countries.
In 1868 a French scientist, residing at Medford, MA, imported egg clusters of the gypsy moth to use in experimenting with silk producing insects. The professor afterwards returned to France and the manner in which the moth escaped from his care could not be learned by correspondence. A well known citizen of Cambridge saw the professor at his residence at Mendon, France, a short time before his death and he informed him that he had the caterpillars netted on a shrub in his yard at Medford and that during a gale the netting was torn and the insects scattered. He at once notified the public through the entomological magazine of that time. No notice was taken of it, or at least nothing was done and the insects, becoming established, multiplied with wonderful rapidity. By 1889 they had become so abundant in Medford and Malden that they completely stripped the trees and were forced to swarm out¬ward in all directions in search of food.
On March 14, 1890, the first act authorizing work against the gypsy moth by the Legislature was approved by Governor Brackett, which carried an appropriation of $25,000. A commission was appointed and it was soon learned that the infested territory was much larger than was at first supposed and on June 3, 1890, an additional appropriation of $25,000 was made. Work by different commissioners was vigorously carried on, and in the year 1899 the gypsy moth was completely under control throughout the district. In the year 1900 a special committee was appointed by the Legislature to investigate the work that had been done, and they reported "that further work was unnecessary, as the gypsy moth need not be considered a serious pest. It appears to us that the fears of the farmers throughout the state have been unnecessarily aroused. We do not share these exaggerated fears and the prophecies of devastation and ruin are unwarranted, which are but the fancies of honest enthusiasts." The report of this committee caused the Legis¬lature to make no further appropriation, and the state work was brought to a close. During the years 1900 and 1901 no great damage was caused by the moth, although it was evident to the trained eye that it was rapidly increasing. The years 1902 and 1903 showed that the moth had established itself in alarming numbers; serious colonies had developed in the woods of Arlington, Medford, Saugus and the Lynn woods. In 1904 the insect appeared in alarming numbers in districts that had previ¬ously been cleaned. It is evident now that the moth pest is in the ascendency and can only be controlled by prompt and thorough work.
It is now plain that the honest enthusiasts knew what they were talk¬ing about and that a few more dollars spent in 1900 and 1901 would have saved the expenditure of many thousands of dollars that must be spent at the present time. No more foliage will be destroyed by them this year, as they are rapidly passing to the pupa state and miller stage of their existence. The millers eat nothing. The female cannot fly, which is very fortunate. She is now depositing her eggs in countless numbers. They can be found in every conceivable place, nicely covered with a yellowish wooly substance, and each patch or cluster contains from 400 to 500 little eggs resembling mustard seed. As soon as the female lays her eggs her mission in life is ended and she dies. The eggs will hatch about the first of next May and then the work of devastation will commence. The tiny worms at first soon develop into worms from two to two and a half inches in length. To identify them look for a row of blue spots on the back, followed by a double row of crimson spots--ten blue spots and twelve crimson. The spots are not noticeable till the worm is two¬-thirds grown. They are ravenous feeders and will continue their work of destruction to the last of July and the first of August. The female caterpillar, pupa and miller are all larger than the male.
No more damage will be done till the eggs hatch next May and we have till then to destroy them, by saturating them with creosote. Do not scrape them off, as they will be lost in the ground and will hatch there. The eggs are not only deposited on the trunks and branches of the trees, but in stone walls; under plank walks and holes in the ground, requiring a sharp and careful eye to find them. The object of putting the burlap around the trees in the spring is to furnish the worm with a hiding place which they seem to like, and there is no use in doing this if they are not collected and destroyed every day. They travel and feed in the night, and in ascending and descending a tree they take refuge under the burlap and stay there, and as they like each others company, many will linger near the burlap, where they can be easily found• and destroyed. From thirty-five to forty bushels have been collected and destroyed in this way in, Pine Grove Cemetery during the present sum¬mer, and with all this labor there are hundreds of clusters of eggs that will receive careful attention and be destroyed.
If one who has not given the matter much thought will ride over the Lynnfield road and through the Lynn Woods, he will have an idea what the result will be if the pest is not conquered. The evergreen trees or conifers, which embrace the pine, spruce, hemlock and others, to be defoliated once is almost certain death. The deciduous trees or those that shed their foliage every year will survive defoliation two or at the most three times. The street trees throughout our City bear evidence of being carefully looked after by Superintendent Doak of the highway department. It is the duty of every citizen to encourage the authorities by words or money, if necessary, to annihilate this pest. Our beautiful trees that give us so much pleasure during the summer months should not be ruined if human labor can prevent it. It is sad to see a grove of trees entirely defoliated, and be obliged to say what a pity. The countless thousands of brown-tail millers that hovered around our arc lights and covered the sides of the buildings in the business section of our city last summer will not' be seen to any great extent this summer, and those who suffered last season with the itch, caused by them, will have nothing to fear this summer, as they have almost entirely disappeared, but the gypsy moth is on the increase.
There is a beautiful woods near us called "Lynn Wood" in which they have been fighting these pests. The authorities have stopped driving through them and closed up the roads, because the caterpillars would get on to the vehicles as they drove through and the branches swept the carriages and would be thus carried to other locations. 'When the caterpillars were traveling through the wood the road was literally covered with them, the commissioner of highways sprayed the roadway and destroyed millions. There was a group of large white pine in Lynn Wood. A man could have saved this group of trees by the use of the burlaps, but now the trees are almost entirely destroyed.
The superintendent of streets sprayed the trees along the streets with a pump run by a gasoline engine and he has kept the street trees very clean.

When selling a home by owner, you don't have to leave the house because a Real Estate Agent wants to show it, or clean it every morning before leaving "just in case". You know when potential home buyers are coming, and can therefore prepare accordingly. And when a home buyer makes an offer, there's not all that frustrating back-and-forth telephone tag between real estate agents to reach an agreement. It can be done in minutes, and end with a friendly handshake and smile between the buyer and seller.
You know your house best. The schools, the neighborhood, what is special about the area and the home, as well as other details about the house. A well-maintained, fairly priced home can virtually sell itself; your role is to simply provide additional information.
Nobody is going to tell you what to sell for. You can advertise where and how you want to (not sit by in frustration because "they're not doing enough"), schedule showings when it's convenient for you, talk directly with prospective home buyers at your leisure, even take your home off the market for awhile if you can't find the right house for you. You aren't obligated to a 3, 6, or 12 month contract... you make your own rules.
Calculate 6-7% of what you think your house is worth, then ask yourself: is it worth paying this much to have someone else show my property, act as a go-between to negotiate the sale and coordinate the home's closing schedules with the lender, lawyer or titles company (dependent upon your area of the country).
If you list your home with a real estate agent, you'll probably inflate the house's asking price to cover the cost of the commission. Two to four months later you'll come to the painful realization that no one is going to buy your home at that price, and you'll likely end up reducing the price (or accepting an offer) equal to the original amount you would have asked if selling on your own. Do it right the first time, and avoid taking the loss.
Because you meet the prospective home buyers, you have a much better idea how interested people are, what they like about the house, how serious they are about buying and what their timeframe and situation is. The direct feedback is easier to live with than wondering how things are going, or worse, why no one has made an offer yet.
"If you can sell your own car, you can sell your own home... it's that simple," said one of our home sellers. And he's right, once you find a buyer, lenders, lawyers or title companies take over (depending on your area of the country). And For Sale By Owner websites are now your best advertising resource for commission free home selling.

Keira Naughton Opens Up About Directing Father James Naughton in CEDARS at Berkshire Theatre Festival
One could say that the Naughton family has dabbled in the theatre. The father, James, is a two-time Tony Award-winning actor-director who starred in Broadway's City of Angels and the rivival of Chicago. Daughter Keira is an actor-singer/songwriter who recently appeared in Yale Repertory Theatre's production of These Paper Bullets. And Greg, James' son, founded off-Broadway's Obie Award-winning Blue Light Theater in addition to acting, directing, and singing himself. To top it all off, Greg is married to five-time Tony-Award nominated actress Kelli O'Hara.
The Naughtons grew up spending their summers in the Berkshires and this summer is no different. Except it is a little bit different. Instead of participating in the "family summer camp environment" that the Berkshires provided them with in their formative years, the family will be putting on productions of its own.
Keira is actually directing her father in the world premiere of Cedars, a solo show that makes its world preimere at the Berkshire Theatre Festival in Stockbridge, MA on July 23rd. Meanwhile, Greg is working at the same theatre, staging a revival of A Hatful of Rain that opens on August 13th.
"It's a very seductive place to grow up and it was a dream place to be in the summer," Keira told CTnow. "I've been coming to the Berkshires for many years," says Keira, "and it does feel like coming home to family. [Berkshire Theatre Festival artistic director] Kate Maguire is my other mother or older sister: a loyal, maternal, tough, cool lady who I really admire and who's been a bit of a mentor and a real pal."
Greg also opened up to CTnow about his inevitable involvement in the arts. "I guess it was pre-ordained. The world in which my father worked was such a happy and appealing one for him - as well as for us. It was seductive right from the beginning. I know other kids of actors and they didn't have that experience but my father was pretty happy [with his life and career], especially around Williamstown."
While James was always destined for the stage, Keira was not always so sure that she wanted to perform for a living. According to CTnow, it wasn't until graduate school that she decided to apply to NYU and realize the family profession. "My father said, 'Is this something I should be supporting?' And I said, 'If I don't try this I'll regret it.' And he said, 'OK,' and that was basically out whole conversation," she said.
Overall, the Naughton family's intimate relationship with the theater and the people involved with it is what keeps them hooked." I still feel I could never leave the theater because I don't really know how to relate to other people," Keira said. "You can say anything in front of actors and no one's judging you. Maybe that's why I started a family of my own late because I had all these other families and never felt isolated and never had that much of a need. That's what's so great about the theater. You really feel this familial bond with the people you work with. The last couple of shows I did - The Dining Room at the Westport Playhouse and These Paper Bullets - I wanted to move in with the people involved and live in a big commune."

Sydney (Australia) Cruise Port
Port of Sydney (Australia): An Overview
Although it is a modern city strongly influenced by British roots and current American popular culture, Sydney's real character is derived from its exotic location and brash beauty. Walking through the glass and concrete downtown, known as the Central Business District, you could be in any other Western-culture metropolis -- until a fluorescent red and green lorikeet parrot swoops overhead or an unexpected flash of the brilliant blue harbor appears between the skyscrapers.
Any proper visit to Sydney must begin in the harbor, which is both the birthplace of the city and its current iconic centerpiece. The area is called Circular Quay (pronounced "key" by locals). It is hard to imagine a more picturesque setting for a city's heart than this, with the Opera House and Harbour Bridge displayed against the inlet's bright water.
Sydney spreads across a massive geographic area, but the majority of its most interesting areas can be found near the ocean coast in the area known as the Eastern suburbs, as well as in its delightful inner-city neighborhoods, which each possess a distinct vibe. Oxford Street, the main thoroughfare running east from downtown to the ocean beaches, hosts Sydney's famous gay and lesbian Mardi Gras parade each February and is popular year-round because of its upscale shops and cafes.
Sydney is a well-balanced blend of a big city lifestyle and the laid-back Australian mentality. Although Aussies who hail from other towns often disparage Sydney for its flashiness and hectic pace, urban inconveniences seem minor here compared to places like New York and London. Tourism is a huge industry around Sydney, and locals are accustomed and happy to providing visitors with service, helpful directions and a rousing welcome to the stunning city that they call home.
Port FacilitiesThere's not much reason to hang around at Barangaroo. There are absolutely no services beyond a temporary tented terminal.
On the other hand, the area around Circular Quay is delightful in itself, with ambience-filled bars and lounges located in the actual terminal (and open to all, cruise passengers or no). You can meander along the waterfront to the Rocks and the Opera House.
Darling Harbour is the city's premier tourist destination, with popular attractions like the Aquarium. There are taxis and public transportation to other parts of the city.
Don't MissTake a tour of the world-famous Sydney Opera House. There are a handful of varieties (backstage, historic and what is called the "tour de force" for travelers with special interests in architecture, engineering or the arts). Guided tours are conducted between 8:30 a.m. - 5 p.m. daily. Of course, schedule permitting, travelers can also take in a show.
The most notable building in the CBD is Sydney Tower, a distinctive needle-shaped construction with a turret at its pinnacle that contains a revolving restaurant and outdoor observation deck. A few blocks from the tower is the Sydney version of Hyde Park, which is much smaller than its British namesake but definitely worth a visit for a stroll down one of its broad avenues lined with figs. Also appealing is the Queen Victoria Building, a former concert hall and municipal building now converted into a shopping center. It features ornate Byzantine architecture and several worthwhile shops, but visitors with limited time in the city would be better rewarded by traveling to one of Sydney's inner suburbs, such as Paddington or Bondi Beach.
The best way to see the harbor is to get a bird's eye view from the top of the Harbour Bridge on a Sydney Harbour Bridge Climb -- not your ordinary stroll across a bridge and not just for the young and crazy. The 3.5-hour trek up and down the famous landmark is safe, slow and suitable for people of all ages and fitness levels; you'll don a bridge suit and wear a bridge harness along the ladder-like stairways and narrow catwalks.
The climbs are guided tours and are offered during the day as well as at night. There are lots of rules and regulations, including: no kids under 10 (and children aged 10 to 16 must be accompanied by an adult), no women more than 24 weeks pregnant, climbers must wear rubber soled shoes, and all climbers must pass a breath-test (for a blood alcohol limit of less than .05 percent).
From the bridge, visitors can walk around the inlet to tour the always-crowded Opera House. It is easy to continue from there through the Royal Botanical Gardens, a collection of flowers and trees overlooking the water, where it is possible to see some of Australia's unique flora without having to leave the city.
Get your bearings in Sydney by taking a ride on the Sydney Explorer bus, an air-conditioned motorcoach that offers commentary (and hop-on, hop-off) options. The service stops at Circular Quay daily at 18-minute intervals, beginning at 8:40 a.m. You can also board the "Bondi Explorer," which offers the same kind of service to areas outside of the city, including Bondi Beach and the eastern suburbs. The Sydney Pass Network also offers a harbour ferry ride (morning, afternoon and evening).
Take a self-guided walking tour of the historic Rocks, Sydney's birthplace (it dates back to Sydney's beginnings as a British convict colony). There are numerous historic buildings (archeological sites and the like); plus, the neighborhood is a lively one, with many shops, restaurants and bars. Today, the narrow, twisting streets are free of criminals and fun to wander through. The shops here sell every kind of Australian souvenir imaginable, but the best come from the Rocks market, which is full of handcrafted and unique mementoes.
Explore Darling Harbour. While one main attraction is Harbourside, a waterfront shopping and dining complex, Darling Harbour is also a nexus for tourist attractions such as the Sydney Aquarium (open daily 9 a.m. until 10 p.m.), the IMAX Theater (open daily, with films screening every hour on the hour between 10 a.m. until 10 p.m.), the Australian National Maritime Museum (open daily from 9:30 a.m. until 5 p.m.) and the Powerhouse Museum (open daily 10 a.m. until 5 p.m.), which focuses on "creativity," whether through art, technology or science. There are also exhibitions, displays and impromptu music performances, plus numerous restaurants grouped around King Street Wharf. Also worth a visit is the Chinese Garden of Friendship (open daily from 9:30 a.m.), which features winding pathways, meandering waterways and exotic flora and fauna.
Visit Sydney Wildlife World, a brand-new exhibit of Australia's most exotic critters and plants (open daily from 9 a.m. until 10 p.m.). You may not be able to find wild koalas lounging around Sydney, but you can get up close with them at the koala sanctuary. The park includes nine sample habitats, such as the Rainforest and Wallaby Cliffs, that supply a peek into different climates and animal homes around Australia. The Sydney Aquarium is right next door, and combination ticket deals are available.
Get out on the water via Harbour Jet (departs daily from the Convention Jetty in Darling Harbour). It's not for the faint of heart -- the speedboat ride offers some commentary, but the real fun are the 270-degree spins, wild fish tails and other boat-acrobatic maneuvers. Captain Cook Cruises offers a gentler ride; there are two daily.
See Sydney from above on a Helicopter Tour. The tours are offered by several different companies and last up to two and a half hours. They offer views of Sydney's entire extensive coastline, as well as the harbour, the city and even the Blue Mountains out to the west.
Shopping options in Sydney include central areas like Pitt Street Mall, downtown and Castlereagh Street (from Hunter Street to Goulburn Street) for chi-chi designer stores. Also include the aforementioned Rocks and Darling Harbour, Oxford Street and Five Ways in Paddington. Sydney also has an excellent collection of weekend outdoor markets. Glebe holds its version every Saturday, while Bondi hosts a market each Sunday.Check out Sydney's art scene with a visit to the edgy Museum of Contemporary Art (Circular Quay West, 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. daily). The Art Gallery of New South Wales (Art Gallery Road, The Domain, 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. daily except Wednesdays 10 a.m. until 9 p.m.) features a wide range of art, including Australian, Aboriginal, Western and Asian exhibits.
Want more art? Sydney's Paddington neighborhood (Oxford Street from S. Dowling Street towards Bondi) has a cluster of art and photo galleries. Paddington is also home to exclusive boutiques and cafes and restaurants. Other attractions include Fox Studios, a working film studio; Centennial Park (rent some roller blades); and, on Saturdays, the Paddington Bazaar street market is fantastic with unique fashions (many iconic local designers began there), crafts and foodstuffs.
A slightly different kind of museum is the Powerhouse, which is devoted to celebrating outstanding technology and design. An old power station in the former industrial district of Ultimo has been converted into Australia's largest museum. Exhibitions change continuously (recent topics have ranged from the Great Wall of China to Australian pub history), but are always fascinating, interactive and well-planned.
Take a seaplane tour of Sydney.
Go canoeing, sea kayaking or white water rafting in Sydney's waterways with Australian Bushsports.
Take a Crimes and Passions guided tour through King's Cross, Sydney's infamous red light district. This once-bohemian town is now in the process of gentrifying into one boasting fancy bars and upscale apartments, but this tour will take you through the Cross' seedy, sometimes sordid and always fascinating history.
Rent a car or hop on one of the bus tours that leave from Sydney and go wine tasting in Hunter Valley (a two-hour drive from Sydney), which features some 50 wineries. Boutique Wine Tours will take you from Sydney up to the Hunter in a Mercedes limo and ferry you from winery to winery for $88 AUD, approximately $73, per person. Info: 800-990-802 (from within Australia).
If you have a couple of days to spare, drive out to the Blue Mountains, where draws include beautiful scenery, bushwalking, rainforests, waterfalls, a scenic railway and more. The area is an hour and a half by car from Sydney. It's also a very romantic destination with lots of intimate inns.
Getting AroundMass transit options abound from Circular Quay. Trains (there's a stop across from the terminal) are easily accessed, as is the monorail, which serves downtown Sydney. Buses also serve the city, and many depart from the Quay's terminal.
Taxis line up at the terminal. Most accept credit cards, but make sure to ask first. Rides cost about $1.70 per kilometer, plus a $1.50 booking fee. You can get anywhere within the inner city for less than $10, but expect to pay at least $20 to get to the eastern or northern beach suburbs.
Rental car agencies such as Hertz, Budget and Avis have downtown Sydney locations. Rates start at around $45 per day, but unless you're planning to visit a spot that's not served by the city's excellent mass transportation system (this includes its water ferries), it's really not worth the expense and effort.
BeachesManly, accessible via a 30-minute ferry ride from Circular Quay, offers scenic walking, watersports ranging from windsurfing to parasailing, and numerous cafes and restaurants. Beyond sunbathing, rent a bicycle, and explore Sydney Harbour National Park and North Head, which overlooks the spot where the ocean meets the harbour. (We had an excellent experience with Manly Bike Tours, which offers cycles for independent rides and also guided tours.) Or take a hike on the famous Marley Scenic Walkway. The roundtrip cost of the ferry on our most recent visit was $14.
Bondi Beach (reachable by bus from Circular Quay) is Australia's best known, with lots of restaurants, shops and cafes. It's also the most crowded strip of sand in Sydney, fulfilling every notion of what Australian beach culture should be. Just don't be offended if you see half-naked women working on their tans, because topless sunbathing is accepted and common here.
A hiking path cuts through the cliffs between Bondi and Coogee, another beach suburb several miles south. The walk can be strenuous, but the views of the seemingly endless Pacific Ocean from the top of the cliffs are unbeatable, and there are several other beaches to make rest stops at along the way for a refreshing drink or swim. Looking out across the water makes you remember that you really are halfway around the world and thousands of miles from home.
Food and DrinkThere are so many -- and so many kinds -- of restaurants, pubs and cafes in Sydney that it's hard to go wrong. Here's a guide to neighborhoods (or, as Australians say, "eat streets") where there is a fun variety of restaurants from which to choose.
In the Central Business District, there are a number of waterfront cafes ringing Circular Quay. A popular spot (especially during inclement weather) is the food hall at David Jones, which offers a'la minute eateries, ranging from oysters and Champagne to grilled fish and a wine bar.
Fashionable and trendy cafes and restaurants abound in city neighborhoods like Paddington, Surry Hills, Darlinghurst and Double Bay. Among the best options there are Tigerbakers (292-294 Victoria Street, open 8 a.m. until 4 p.m.), a cozy casual cafe that has the best breakfast in town, Gertrude and Alice (78 Oxford Street, open 8 a.m. until 9:30 p.m.), a bookstore with an attached coffee shop, and the Victoria Room (235 Victoria Street), an upscale destination specializing in great tapas dishes and even better cocktails. (Open daily 6 p.m. until 11 p.m. and for high tea from 2 p.m. until 4 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays).
The Rocks offers elegant restaurants with historic atmosphere. Rockpool (107 George Street, open from 6 p.m. until 10 p.m.) and Altitude (176 Cumberland Street, open Monday through Saturday from 6:30 p.m. until 10:30 p.m.) both create superior meals prepared by chefs that have garnered considerable attention from international critics for their Australian cuisine. The fresh seafood is exceptional at both locations.
Head to Woolloomooloo Wharf for superb food and even better views. The row of restaurants along the wharf includes China Doll for Asian fusion (open Monday through Saturday from noon until 3 p.m. and from 6 p.m. until 10:30 p.m., and Sunday from noon until 8:45 p.m.) and the Italian Otto's (open daily for lunch and dinner).
Manly and Bondi are known for fresh seafood and many outdoor cafes that line their beachfronts. Try the fish and chips, especially at Fishmongers in Bondi, which serves the best battered barramundi in town. (42 Hall Street, open daily from noon until 9 p.m.). Another great spot, this one in Manly, is Moo Burger (Steyne Street, fronting the beach).
Darling Harbour's King Street and Coco Bay wharves have such mind-boggling variety that there's something for everyone. The wharves' collection of 14 restaurants and bars includes everything from the London's cheap noodle chain Wagamama to classy lounges like The Loft and Cargo.
In Sydney, Leichhardt (Norton Street) is considered a bit of "Little Italy." Grappa (266-77 Norton Street, open Tuesday through Friday from noon until 3 p.m. and from 6 p.m. until 10 p.m., and Saturday through Monday from 6 p.m. until 10 p.m.) serves up great pasta with genuine Italian flair.
For ethnic cuisine, head to Glebe (Glebe Point Road) where there are numerous Mediterranean, Asian and Middle Eastern restaurants.
Where You're Docked
Ships dock in two different spots, depending on size. Those that cannot fit underneath the Sydney Harbour Bridge will find themselves tied up at the atmospheric and centrally located Overseas Passenger Terminal in Circular Quay, adjacent to the Rocks, Sydney's original old city. Smaller ships dock at White Bay. Just underneath the bridge, ships have awesome views of the Sydney Opera House.
Those at Circular Quay are in the middle of everything. Water taxis, ferries, trains, cabs and buses all depart regularly from the wharf location. Those at White Bay will need to catch a shuttle or taxi to the city, as there is no public transport.
A third location for ships in the increasingly popular Sydney Harbour is a tender position out beyond the Sydney Opera House. Ships transport passengers to Darling Harbour via tender boats.
Currency & Best Way to Get MoneyCurrency is the Australian dollar. Check www.xe.com for the latest exchange rates. ATMs are easily accessible all over the city. Money also can be exchanged at banks and bureaus. There is a currency exchange booth located in the main Circular Quay terminal, beneath the railway stop. The nearest bank is a St. George directly across from the main terminal at 20 Loftus Street.
LanguageEnglish -- but be careful, because Aussies shorten everything when they speak. Breakfast becomes "brekkie," sunglasses are "sunnies," and a bathing suits are called "cossies" (short for swimming costume!). Even the word afternoon gets turned into "arvo." Other unusual expressions and words pop up in Australian English, as well -- to "spit the dummy" means to get upset, and to be "chuffed" is to be excited about something.

Top scientists from Luzira prison have reported that Bad Black has started turning into a lawyer. Reports indicate that she started showing mild signs about three days ago when she lied to the guard on duty that she wanted to pee. However, when the guard let her out of her cage, she entered the toilet and pooped instead.
"And she has been doing it every day at midnight," said one of the prison scientists, Scientist One. "She just starts lying out of the blue without even warning the wardens," he added.
"It's getting so bad that she has started lying to herself even. Like yesterday at midnight, the same guard heard her mumbling to herself, 'I'm beautiful, no matter what they say'. Man!"
The guard on duty at the time of this interview told ULK that Miss Black had also started developing a few physical signs. "If you look at her carefully, you'll see that her skin is slowly turning into one of those lame suits."
The National Medical Institution of Ugandan Prison Scientists (NMIOUPS) said that they had started working on an antidote for the strange ailment and the public need not worry about anything. "People become lawyers all the time. It's mildly contagious but as long as you don't come in close contact with the victim, you're safe."
Upon conviction earlier this month, the famous Ugandan socialite for absolutely no goddamn reason, Bad Black, vowed to study law and fight for women's rights when she finished her 4-year prison sentence.
It still hasn't been established where she got the ridiculous idea but all speculation seems to point to her brain, the same brain that guided her into opening a chain of events that led to getting imprisoned and abhorred by her ex-lover, Greenhulk Somethingsomething.

Pretoria - Desperate prospective students who were sleeping on the streets outside Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) campuses have been provided with shelter in the city until they find out if they have been accepted or rejected by the institution.
Mayoral committee member for Sports, Recreation, Arts and Culture Nozipho Makeke said the council had decided to make accommodation available for the aspirant students.
"We found accommodation at the city hall for males and Museum Park for the females until the university has decided which students they are taking," she said.
Makeke said the city was also supplying the would-be students with transport to travel to the campuses daily to sort out their applications. "They are in our city and we could not leave them on the streets because by doing that, we would be saying they should be victims of crime," said Makeke.
One of the lucky ones to finally have a roof over her head is Cindy Nxumalo from KwaZulu-Natal. She has been sleeping in the streets since Friday last week.
"Right now I'm very happy that I have a place to sleep," said Nxumalo.
Makeke said they would engage with the Department of Higher Education and Training to ensure that in future, prospective students would not become victims of crime when they were trying to register.
Her statement follows the alleged gang-rape and robbery of a 20-year-old woman by four men near the TUT Soshanguve campus on Tuesday. She told police she and a group of friends had been walking to the campus to queue for a place.
The mayoral committee member for health and social development, Eulanda Mabusela, said on Wednesday that she had spent a few hours at a church in Soshanguve where people had been accommodated and had learnt that the gang-rape case was not the only incident.
Three other separate rapes had been reported, she said.
"This is a terrible thing to happen. They all came here to better their lives and study and such things happen."
Mabusela said moves are afoot to arrange a meeting with the TUT management to map a way forward and avoid a repeat of such incidents.
On Thursday, they will meet pastors in Soshanguve to ask them to assist in accommodating the students as the numbers keep growing daily.
In Soshanguve, aspirant students are being accommodated at a church headed by Pastor Petros Ndlovu.
He said he knew of four rape cases, including the gang-rape. He said he could not bear to watch children sleeping in the streets and decided to take them in.
The young woman who was gang-raped was coming from the church and going to the institution with her friends when they were attacked.
Ndlovu said an increasing number of people were going to sleep at the church. "On Tuesday it was 168 people, but the number has now increased to at least 250.
"Although the conditions may not be favourable, they have a roof over their head," he said.
Ndlovu is also giving the youngsters counselling to help them deal with problems they might be facing.
Police spokesman Warrant Officer Mathews Nkoadi said on Wednesday that he could not confirm the other rape cases as they were not reflected on police records.

PhD Programs
We are pleased to announce that beginning in the Fall 2014 semester the Department of Statistical Science will offer two Ph.D. degrees: Ph.D. in Statistical Science and Ph.D. in Biostatistics.
The Department of Statistical Science began offering the Ph.D. in Statistical Science in 1968. Since that time it has awarded over 170 Ph.D. degrees. The courses in the Ph.D. curriculum in Statistical Science at SMU provide our students with the strong theoretical foundation in mathematics, statistical inference, and probability needed for students pursuing a research-oriented Ph.D. degree. They also acquire extensive experience in statistical applications and practice that will enable them to take leadership roles in innovative uses of statistical science in industry, government and many other diverse fields. The emphasis in the Ph.D. program is on developing fundamental breadth and depth in both theory and applications.
Beginning in the Fall 2014 semester the Department of Statistical Science at SMU and the Department of Clinical Sciences at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas (UTSW) will partner to offer a Ph.D. program in Biostatistics. The degree will be conferred by SMU, but students in this program will take courses at both SMU and UTSW. Students attain a strong mathematical and statistical foundation such as that provided in the Ph.D. in Statistical Science curriculum, but they will also take courses that prepare them for a research career in Biostatistics. During the third and fourth years of the curriculum, students will work with researchers at UTSW under the joint supervision of one or more SMU faculty mentors.

Encryption is the usual solution to this issue, but when you wipe a mobile device, you also clear its encryption so that the device can be set up as a new device or restored from a backup, such as from iCloud, Google Play, Windows Store, or iTunes. That's why several vendors offer encrypted application containers for managing apps developed with their APIs: They can more securely wipe their containers without affecting the rest of the device, leaving its encryption enabled.
For most people, the standard remote wipe is sufficiently secure -- there aren't cyber thieves shadowing them to steal their unattended device and recover its data.
But wiping a device does delete all its data. Given that a tool like Quickoffice or Box can be used for both personal and work data, it's reasonable to expect IT to wipe the whole device, just to be safe, if there's a loss or theft or when a person leaves the company. If you have an iPhone or iPad, your personal iTunes or iCloud backup means you can restore your personal data after such a wipe -- it's a simple task. Other devices don't have such a simple backup capability.
But some companies block use of iCloud, which means your personal data -- photos and any data in iCloud-compatible apps like GoodReader and iWork -- is not backed up for you. That can be problematic for workers on the road, as one CIO discovered when his draconian remote-wipe policy caused him to lose his vacation photos.
If an employee backs up via iTunes at home (a process Apple has largely automated), the employee is OK. But of course work data is backed up to that computer running iTunes -- including any work data stored with apps on the device. Yes, iTunes has an encryption option for those backups, but if a company wants to wipe all company data that an employee may have, such as when an employee leaves the company, there's no surefire way to do so.
The lack of backup on other mobile devices in a way reduces the risk, but you can expect users on those devices, as well as on iOS, to use cloud storage -- Windows Phone and Windows 8 even come with SkyDrive storage by default -- so you still have the possibility of corporate data in the the wild. Without true information management, you're left to best-efforts methods and a need to trust -- or provide no access at all.
Managing e-discovery
If you're dealing with a lawsuit's discovery motion, the use of mobile devices complicates the already complex e-discovery process. If you use server-based email such as Exchange or Google Apps, you have the emails received and sent from the user without needing to access the employee's mobile device. But if an employee used a personal email address to communicate something being sought through discovery, you may need to get that device and review its contents. This raises all sorts of messy issues related to user privacy.
The law around such access is murky, though courts have more often than not decided that work information on personal devices is subject to e-discovery. Realistically, that means users' devices could be taken for legal discovery and all the contents rifled through. Making that clear in employee policies is probably a good idea. For employees who don't want their personal devices accessed by their company or opposing lawyers, the one true option is to use a work-only device for work and not mix personal and work to begin with.
These mobile questions extend beyond mobile
By now, I bet most readers have realized that all these issues could apply just as well to personal computers, such as home PCs. In fact, they can.
Whether you use home email on a home computer, a personal smartphone, a work computer, or a work smartphone, the e-discovery issues and privacy-invasion possibilities are the same. Whether you work with information on a home computer, a personal smartphone, a work computer, or a work smartphone, the deletion and backup are the same.
When it comes to information access, most companies give their own devices a pass, assuming they are safe and trusted. I think that's naive in the day of work and personal blending of hours, location, and tasks, especially for workers who travel frequently. It may be best to apply whatever segregation and access policies you can regardless of whose device is in use -- because the notions of "mine," "yours," and "ours" are further blurring.
