AN ESTIMATED 550 shops, pubs and restaurants in the Stroud Valleys and Vale could see their tax bills cut by a third because of cuts being made for small businesses this week.
According to Stroud MP Neil Carmichael, the cuts will support the high streets across the Stroud constituency, boosting jobs and growth.
Measures taking effect include £1,000 off business rate bills for all retail premises with a rateable value up to £50,000 for 2014/15 and 2015/16.
In addition there is now a two per cent cap on everyone's business rate increases and a new reoccupation relief, which will halve the rates bills of businesses taking over premises empty for over a year.
Small Business Rate Relief will continue to be double its normal level until April 2015 and expanded, with 360,000 businesses properties paying no rates at all.
Businesses will also be able to pay their bills over 12 months, rather than 10, to help them with their cash flow.
Mr Carmichael said the help for the high street was excellent news for hardworking people and small businesses in the Valleys and Vale.
"Our high street shops are an important part of local life. That's why the Conservatives are backing them all the way as part of our long-term economic plan to secure a better future for Britain," he said.
"Cuts to business taxes will help businesses grown and create jobs, strengthening our local community and giving more hardworking people the security of a regular pay packet."

text: BARRIE, Ontario, Oct. 3, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Student Transportation Inc. ("STI") (TSX:STB) (TSX:STB.DB.A) announced today that it has exercised its right to redeem its 7.5% Convertible Subordinated Unsecured Debentures maturing on October 31, 2014 (the "Debentures") in accordance with the terms of the trust indenture dated as of October 26, 2009 between STI and Computershare Trust Company of Canada governing the Debentures. The redemption of the Debentures will be effective on November 2, 2012 (the "Redemption Date"). Upon redemption, STI will pay to the holders of Debentures the redemption price (the "Redemption Price") equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Debentures to be redeemed, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon up to but excluding the Redemption Date. The aggregate principal amount of Debentures currently outstanding is Cdn $20,632,000. STI will draw funds from its existing revolving line of credit to pay the Redemption Price of those redeemed Debentures not yet converted at that time. The Debentures are listed for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the trading symbol "STB.DB.A" and may be converted in accordance with their terms into common shares of STI until November 1, 2012. "Our holders of these debentures have done well in our opinion with their investment. The company has an outstanding credit profile and an attractive dividend that are just some of the hallmarks of our eight year success as a public company. We have used debt wisely for growth," said STI Chairman and CEO Denis J Gallagher. "We have seen a considerable amount of activity in the conversion of these notes to common shares as more holders of the debentures appreciate the value in the shares from a dividend income and tax perspective. The redemption call provision of the notes outstanding allows note holders to either convert to common shares prior to the redemption date or receive cash for their debentures upon redemption. The current debt market is significantly lower in rates today and we will reduce our interest expense by calling these now with the availability in our senior credit facility." Gallagher added, "With approximately 15 percent growth built in year over year already for fiscal 2013, our focus this year as we stated on our recent analyst call is to reduce costs, lower our capital expenditures and maintain our great service which are all very attainable."

Dale Earnhardt Jr Holds Off Denny Hamlin For Second Daytona 500 Win
Posted by: ASkyler on Feb 24, 2014 - 05:54 AM
Dale Earnhardt Jr Holds Off Denny Hamlin For Second Daytona 500 Win
By Reid Spencer, NASCAR Wire Service
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.âIn a race that started in broad daylight and ended 42 minutes before midnight, and with a swatch of tape covering part of his grille, Dale Earnhardt Jr. won the rain-interrupted 56th running of the Daytona 500 Sunday night at Daytona International Speedway.
Earnhardt was a car-length ahead of Denny Hamlin when NASCAR threw the seventh caution of the race a split second before Earnhardt crossed the finish line to win the Great American Race for the second time in his career.
Under NASCAR's new Chase for the Sprint Cup format, Earnhardt's 20th career Sprint Cup Series victory almost assuredly locks him into the 10-race postseason playoff, set to start at Chicagoland Speedway in September.
Hamlin came home second as the race ended under caution, with Brad Keselowski, Jeff Gordon and reigning series champion Jimmie Johnson running third through fifth, respectively.
In Victory Lane, Earnhardt didn't even try to contain his elation. After all, he had just broken a 55-race winless streak. After finishing second in three last four Daytona 500s, he had just won the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season opener in his last year with crew chief Steve Letarte, who is headed for the TV booth in 2015.
And he had just won his second Daytona 500 a decade after winning his first, holding off Hamlin in a dramatic two-lap dash to the finish.
"Man, winning this race is the greatest feeling that you can feel in the sport, aside from obviously accepting the trophy for the championship," Earnhardt all but shouted over the din of the celebration. "I didn't know if I'd ever get a chance to feel that again, and it feels just as good, if not better than the first because of how hard we tried year after year after year, running second all those years and wondering why and what we needed to do.
"I've got to get my head together ... This race car was awesome. We showed them all night long how good a car we had, and it's because of these guys right here (his team) putting it together in the shop. We could fight off battles after battles. We got a little help from Jeff (Gordon) to get away on that (last) restart and tried to take care of it from there.
"This is amazing. I can't believe this is happening. I'll never take this for granted, because this just doesn't happen twice, let alone once. I'm so thankful. Thanks to all my fans out there for supporting. We pretty much might be in the Chase? We get that off our chest and we are two-time Daytona 500 champion!"
After a rain delay of 6 hours 22 minutes, the race ran-caution-free from a restart on Lap 47 to Lap 145, when a wild 13-car wreck in Turn 4 thinned the field.
On the inside of a three-wide trio with Brian Scott and Aric Almirola, Kevin Harvick drifted up the track and clipped Brian Scott's Chevrolet, sending Scott into Almirola's Ford and turning it sideways.
Almirola hit Danica Patrick's No. 10 Chevrolet, which shot nose-first into the outside wall in the tri-oval, destroying the car. The No. 3 Chevy of polesitter Austin Dillon also sustained damage but remained on the lead lap.
Dillon's Richard Childress Racing teammate, Paul Menard, wasn't as fortunate. His No. 27 Chevy, which had led 29 laps, was heavily damaged and lost 14 laps as his team worked feverishly to repair it.
"What the hell happened?" Patrick said, as she slid to a stop in the soggy infield grass.
Sixteen laps after the first major incident of the race, Dillon's Chevrolet got loose and tapped the No. 42 of fellow rookie Kyle Larson, triggering an 11-car wreck that slowed the race. At Lap 184, 2011 Daytona 500 winner Trevor Bayne slammed into the outside wall on the backstretch to cause the fifth caution of the race.
On Lap 194, contact between Dillon and the No. 31 Chevrolet of RCR teammate Ryan Newman ignited a seven-car wreck in Turn 3 that set up the wild finish. Earnhardt, who was in the lead, ran over the swatch of Bear Bond (tape) from Newman's car under the yellow and tried in vain to remove the tape by driving within inches of the pace car.
First out of the race was Martin Truex Jr., whose luck turned from bad to worse on Sunday. With his primary car destroyed in a last-lap wreck in Thursday night's Budwesier Duel at Daytona, Truex had to give up his second-place starting position and take the green flag from the rear of the field in a backup car.
On Lap 32, Truex's engine expired after the oil pump belt dislodged, forcing an early exit from a race the driver of the No. 78 Chevrolet thought he had a chance to win.
"The car was super-fast today, and I went to bed last night thinking that this was my best shot ever to win the Daytona 500 and really felt that way, even today," Truex said. "The car was just so good, and we were just riding around and biding our time, being patient and trying to get to the end of this thing.
"Unfortunately, it wasn't meant to be."
It wasn't meant to be for Tony Stewart or Clint Bowyer either.
Stewart, in his first points race after missing the final 15 events of 2013 with a broken right leg, took his No. 14 Chevrolet to the garage with a fuel pressure problem after completing 118 laps, frustrated in his 16th fruitless attempt to win the Daytona 500. Bowyer's engine expired after 127 laps, relegating the driver of the No. 15 Toyota to a 42nd-place finish.
Stewart ended the race in 35th, 26 laps down.

Even into the 20th century, Owen countians were not immune to the "speckled monster."
It attacked young and old alike, and many did not survive its devastating assault. Through the 18th and 19th centuries, pioneer villages and towns were decimated by its onslaught, and many succumbed to the effects of this dreaded disease called smallpox.
Owen County records show that in December of 1902 a smallpox epidemic was raging in the area, and many died as it made its way from household to household.
Kentucky State Police Campbellsburg responded to a fatal collision Friday on KY 35.
According to a press release, investigation revealed that Sarai D. Aguazul, 20, from Glencoe, was traveling south on KY 35 when she attempted to pass another vehicle. As she attempted to pass, the vehicle operated by Aguazul collided with a vehicle traveling north on KY 35. The driver of that vehicle, Susan D. Ellis, 44, of Owenton, was transported to New Horizons with non-life threatening injuries by the Owen County Life Squad.
The annual Owen County Christmas Parade was held Sunday. This year's theme was "Joys of Christmas." This year's church float winner was Hesler Assembly of God, Royal Rangers (top left). The first-place award in the civic adult category was Owen County Relay for Life and second place civic was Hard Rock of Owen County Search Dog Team. The first-place civic youth category winner was Girl Scout Troop 1030 and the first-place business category went to Dolly's Doggie Den. The overall grand champion was Hesler Assembly of God, Royal Rangers.
Saying goodbye to a friend hasn't been easy for many Owen County High School students, but they are determined to keep her memory alive in all school activities.
The Owen County High School National Honor Society, in partnership with the Kentucky Blood Center, will hold its second blood drive of the school year Monday, in memory of senior Rebekah Gaines who died Oct. 16.
"Rebekah donated blood last year before she got cancer," Owen County High School senior Rianna Gayheart said. "And she was a recipient of blood during her treatments."
Across Owen County, volunteer firefighters are ready to risk their lives to help and protect their communities.
This sense of duty is a full-time commitment.
The Christmas season is no different.
The Owen County volunteer fire departments and the Owen County Search and Rescue are holding their first-annual food and coat drive to give back to the community that is always supportive of its volunteers.
Owen County Volunteer Firefighters Jeff Wright and Daryl Hearne are spearheading the drive, which continues through Dec. 17.
An Owenton man has been sentenced to four months behind bars after pleading guilty to cutting a man with a pocket knife Nov. 6.
Daryl Andre Thomas, 52, pleaded guilty to the charges of fourth-degree assault and second-degree wanton endangerment in Owen District Court Friday.
Thomas was originally charged with first-degree assault but the charge was amended to fourth-degree Friday.
He was sentenced to one year for each charge, but could serve only 120 days. He will be conditionally discharged for the balance.
Two Owen County men were recently arrested by Owen County sheriff's deputies following separate alleged burglaries.
Bradford L. Wilhoite, 30, of Owenton, allegedly broke into the home of Ricky and Judy Williams on Cull Road.
The alleged incident took place Nov. 21.
"(Williams) had a bunch of jewelry and a shotgun taken," Owen County Sheriff Zemer Hammond said. "We were able to recover some of the stuff."
An Owen County magistrate was recently arrested on the charges of first-degree driving under the influence and speeding 15 mph over the limit.
Fourth-District Magistrate Troy Bramblett, 40, was arrested at approximately 11:58 p.m. Nov. 26.
According to police records, Bramblett was traveling north on U.S. 127 in Franklin County, near Shadrick Ferry Road when a Franklin County sheriff's deputy allegedly observed him traveling at a high rate of speed.
The 2011 football season was a historic one for the Owen County High School Rebels. For their efforts, a pair of Rebels has been honored by the Kentucky Football Coaches Association.
Owen County High School Head Football Coach Adam Fowler was named Class 2A District 5 coach of the year and Sawyer Williams was named Player of the Year in the District.
Fowler guided the Rebels to their first ever undefeated regular season and their first district championship since 1981.

Now that the City has a Complete Streets ordinance what is being done to ensure it is being implemented?
On Jan. 22, 2015, Savannah City Council passed an ordinance that makes Complete Streets the default design model when developing new roadway projects. A "complete street" is one that incorporates design features that contribute to a safe travel experience of all users, no matter the mode of transportation. Such features include sidewalks, shared-use paths, bicycle lanes, public transit facilities, and accessible curb ramps.
Read the ordinance and minutes from the meeting it was adopted
In May 2015, the City formed the Mobility Advisory Committee (MAC) in partnership with Healthy Savannah and the Savannah Bicycle Campaign with purpose of promoting safety, health & wellness, and ease of mobility for all residents and visitors, using non-motorized and public transportation, in and around the City of Savannah and Chatham County.
The MAC is a cross-sector group that includes representatives from the City, County, Chatham Area Transit, Metropolitan Planning Commission, area higher education institutions, community nonprofits, advocacy groups and the private sector. One of the primary goals identified by the MAC is to develop Complete Streets guidelines to assist implementation of the ordinance. A next step will be to conduct regular review of upcoming street projects to ensure that Complete Streets is being addressed where appropriate.
The City's Traffic Engineering Department, in conjunction with the Georgia Department of Transportation, is developing plans for complete street improvements to Delesseps Avenue, which will include sidewalks and bike lanes from Skidaway Road to Waters Avenue, connecting to the planned Truman Linear Park Trail, which will connect Daffin Park to Lake Mayer. A public open house on the Delessups project was held in May. Staff is taking public input received and incorporating into the preliminary design. Staff is nearing completion of the required environmental analysis, which will be submitted to GDOT for review.
For roughly the past decade, the City of Savannah has required all new roadways built in the City of Savannah to include sidewalks. All new development in The Highlands community near the airport, for example, includes sidewalks, along with new subdivisions near Georgetown.

I'd like to find out if there is a consensus on a rule of thumb cost of a QCI onsite for inspections. Would it be $25 -$50 per hour, $75, ....$125 per hour?
Any input would be both helpful and appreciated.

I was called in to perform a last minute duct test for a modular home builder. He was all in a dither to have a duct test and a blower door test done on a Friday so that he could get his Certificate of Occupancy (CO) so the homeowner could move in the following Monday.

Fancy a drink? Our drinks columnist Sam Wylie-Harris pops the cork on some festive fizz and casual wines to embrace the party spirit.
Get ready to party
With the halls decked with boughs of holly and glittering holiday decorations, it's time to unveil some clever wine pairings and share some festive cheer.
Gathering friends and family invites an eclectic mix of tastes. Whether you prefer refreshing bubbles or an accessible style, wine can blossom into something special when matched with finger food, party canapes and good company.
To lift the mood and fire up the evening, here are some good all-rounders to grace the wine rack or ice bucket.
Spanish cava comes in many shapes and forms, and while some may not be as bright as a button, Tanners Cava Brut, Traditional Method (£8.90, www.tanners-wines.co.uk) is in a league of its own. With an attractive, lemony richness and creamy, biscuity notes similar to champagne, its complex style makes it the perfect serve with a cheese plate or breaded prawns.
Pretty in pink, Pinot Noir Rosado Vintage Cava 2009 (£13.99, Marks & Spencer) tastes as good as it looks and the fact that the winery is part of the Freixenet sparkling wine group is testament to its quality. Made from the red fruit pinot noir which gives champagne its strength and body, it's delightfully dry and savoury with lots of crushed raspberry fruit to complement chorizo and other cold meats.
Prosecco is the perfect combination of delicate small bubbles and a burst of freshness - and tipplers are sure to find this enduring appeal in Waitrose Prosecco NV, Italy (£8.99, Waitrose). A delicious new fizz to its shelves, delight in the refreshing fruity taste with attractive aromas, a touch of sweet almond and dry finish that works like a dream with parma ham and mozzarella bites.
For bigger thirsts and a Santa-size welcome of cheer, Sainsbury's Taste the Difference Conegliano Prosecco, magnum (£14.99 from £19.99 until December 11, Sainsbury's) offers unbeatable value. The equivalent of two bottles, it will fill approximately 12 to 14 flutes and can always be chilled in a big bucket of ice if there's no space in the fridge. Light and refreshing, you can always add some peach puree to create an Italian bellini and string the bubbles along that much further.
Albarino is the trendy Spanish white grape from Galacia that goes brilliantly with seafood and salty snacks. It's also versatile enough to go with white meat, but the only drawback is it usually comes at a premium.
However, Asda has a good example that's a perfect party pour. The attractive turquoise label of Alba Signature Albarino (£5.50, Asda) acts as an instant lift before you've even tasted the vibrant, fresh white flavours. Fruity with floral aromas and refreshing acidity, it's also a lifesaver if the conversation runs dry.
Another crowd-pleaser dressed in sky blue, Cowrie Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2012 Marlborough, New Zealand (£6.99, Waitrose) will certainly perk up the palate of anyone coming in from the cold. Typical of the Marlborough style, it's crisp and racy with a burst of ripe guava fruit and kiwi on the mouth. Match its grassy finish with shellfish, mackerel pate or oriental snacks.
Corbieres in France's Languedoc region is famous for its quaffable, rich, spicy reds, which usually come in around the £7 to £8 mark, so not exactly party plonk, unless you try a supermarket label such as Wine Selection Corbieres, France (£3.98, Asda). Not quite smooth enough to be 'beautiful', but this rustic red has a velvety texture and a herby, ripe fragrance, which is sure to meet your guests' approval.
Chile is rich hunting ground for fruit-forward wines that will keep you coming back for more, and Concha y Toro Sunrise Merlot Central Valley 2012, Chile (£4.99 from £7.49, now until January 2, Waitrose) is a little cracker with long-lasting appeal.
A medium-bodied, dark, juicy merlot with ripe plum and herbaceous notes, soft tannins and a lip-smacking finish, it'll have partygoers jostling for another sip before reaching for cocktail sausages or bite-size pizza.
:: Best buy
Skinny Vinni... A sparkling wine-based drink, Original Vinni Sparkling (£3.49, 5.5% abv, 56cl, Sainsbury's) is a refreshing alternative to cider or beer and it's not too sweet. Ideal for tipplers who like the look of a crisp, pale fizz, this moscato-based lower alcohol wine tastes great with dips and snacks and the stylish bottle will complement a spread of festive drinks.
:: Liquid news
Home-grown fizz on the rise... According to Waitrose, sales of English sparkling wine have increased 30% in the past year. The supermarket chain stocks the largest variety of British wines, with more than 40 different varieties available.
Ken Mackay MW, Waitrose wine buyer, says: "Customers are able to find a British sparkling wine to suit any occasion or palate, and often the quality of the wines is better than champagne.
"We've even started making our own at our Waitrose vineyard in Hampshire and will be producing our first bottles in 2014."
Mackay's favourites include Ridgeview Merret Bloomsbury 2009, Sussex, £22.99; Nyetimber Classic Cuvee 2007, West Sussex, £29.99; and Chapel Down Vintage Reserve Brut NV, Kent, £19.99, all available from Waitrose.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 2/12/2013 (1359 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Josh Morrissey and Nic Petan have survived the grueling first test. And now it really gets hard.
The two Winnipeg Jets' draft picks – both selected in the 2013 NHL Draft – are among the 25 players Hockey Canada announced today who will attend the National Junior Team selection camp, beginning Dec. 12th in Etobicoke, Ont. The 2014 World Junior Championships open in Malmo, Sweden later this month and the final roster, which will include 22 players (two goalies, eight defencemen and 15 forwards) and must be finalized by Dec. 25.
Morrissey, a defenceman selected 13th overall, is the captain of the Prince Albert Raiders and leads all Western Hockey League defencemen in goals this season with 13 and has added 19 assists in 26 games.
Petan, a second-round pick of the Jets, scored four goals in the Portland Winterhawks win over the Saskatoon Blades on Sunday and is second in the WHL in scoring with 19 goals and 41 assists in 28 games.
"Hockey Canada is looking forward to an extremely competitive camp in December, as we look to assemble a team that will make all Canadians proud," said Scott Salmond, Hockey Canada's senior director of men's national teams and hockey operations in a press release Monday. "This is a first step towards naming our roster for the IIHF World Junior Championship. We look forward to the camp getting underway."
"I would like to congratulate the 25 players that received an invitation today," said Ryan Jankowski, head scout for Canada's National Junior Team. "Canada is fortunate to have great depth of talent, and these players should be proud of this special opportunity. I would also like to thank the general managers and coaches of the Canadian Hockey League for their great support throughout this process."
Not included on the list, to the surprise of many, were two Manitobans: centre Brendan Leipsic of Portland (Winnipeg) and Brandon Wheat defenceman Ryan Pulock (Grandview).

Universal Coin and Bullion News
There's no doubt about it: Universal Coin and Bullion is on a roll.
The company, founded in 1994 by rare coins and precious metals expert Mike Fuljenz, is among a select few nationally acclaimed, award-winning sources for gold, rare coin, and numismatic education. Fuljenz, an award-winning author of books and newsletters and renowned numismatic consumer advocate, has lent his expertise to diverse agencies including the United States Mint, the U.S. Postal Service, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the Numismatic Crime Information Center, Better Business Bureau and Crime Stoppers.
Fuljenz isn't letting a dismissed 2007 Universal Coin and Bullion lawsuit — in which it's alleged that the company misled customers to purchase rare gold, platinum and silver coins — get him down. The author of the award-winning book Indian Gold Coins of the 20th Century (about historic U.S. gold pieces) isn't thinking about accusations of a Universal Coin and Bullion rip off because the case was dismissed and he ended up being appointed to the State Bar of Texas Advertising Review Committee. He continues to maintain his focus on the many positive things in his professional life: Fuljenz, who's known in numismatic circles as "America's Gold Expert," has recently been honored with the prestigious Clemy Award by the Numismatic Literary Guild.
Named for its first recipient, author Clement F. Bailey, the Clemy Award was established in 1968 and is the NLG's most prestigious honor, bestowed in recognition of writing talent, a devotion to the collecting of coins, and personal and professional dedication to the Guild. Fuljenz joins such numismatic luminaries as Glenn Smedley, Donn Pearlman, Ed Reiter, and Elvira Clain Stefanelli.
The award is the latest in a long list of prizes given to Fuljenz and Universal Coin and Bullion. Fuljenz's article, "The Ultimate Saint: The 1907 Indian Head Double Eagle Could Be The New Face of Numismatics," received the NLG's James L. Miller Award for Best Overall Article of the Year, an honor followed by a pair of NLG television awards for the company's monthly "Coins and Precious Metals Report" segments on KBTV Fox 4 in Fuljenz's hometown of Beaumont, Texas. There, rumors were discounted and not taken seriously due to Mike Fuljenz's sterling reputation and ongoing active involvement within his community — in part because Fuljenz has worked closely with local law enforcement personnel in investigating crimes involving rare coins, bullion and jewelry.
At special training seminars for Texas and Florida law enforcement officers, the Universal Coin president recently acted as keynote speaker, providing participants with names of experts and organizations to contact when a gold or collectible coin fraud or theft is reported, or a recovery is made. Fuljenz candidly discussed the Universal Coin and Bullion complaints against lawbreakers (coin thieves), and also described case examples of how law enforcement agencies across the nation have successfully handled different types of numismatic crimes.
An award-winning author of newsletters, articles and four books about rare gold coins and bullion, Fuljenz has received nearly 50 major awards in 11 different categories from the Numismatic Literary Guild (NLG), a nonprofit organization composed of the top numismatic marketplace editors and writers. With a record that makes him one of a handful of authors in the United States who has been so widely acknowledged by his peers. His coin-specific and precious metals consumer protection and education work set both Fuljenz and Universal Coin and Bullion apart — a fact acknowledged by the American Numismatic Association at its annual World's Fair of Money convention. There, ANA president Tom Hallenbeck gave Fuljenz the organization's Glenn Smedley Memorial Award in honor of his significant volunteer contributions and support of the association and the community at large.

Federal treasurer Wayne Swan has written to his Queensland counterpart to express his "disappointment" at having to correct the record on Commonwealth flood recovery funding.
But Tim Nicholls stands by his position that the state cannot access $725 million in flood relief because the Commonwealth "significantly raised the standards of audit evidence required", meaning the state's Auditor-General could not sign off on the funds' release.
Mr Swan wrote to Mr Nicholls on Thursday to "express concern" and "clarify some facts" relating to the state's fund relief.
Mr Swan stated the Commonwealth provided Queensland with $4.2 billion in advance payments between March 2011 and February 2012 and made a further payment of $1.05 billion in May 2012.
"The $725 million you repeatedly refer to in the media is contained in the payments of $1.9 billion ($218 million for expenditure in 2011-12) made on 7 February 2012 and $1.05 billion ($198 million for expenditure in 2009-10 and $309 million for expenditure in 2010-11) made on 7 May 2012," he wrote.
Mr Swan said the "only requirement" for release of the $725 million "is that the Queensland Government's Auditor-General audits these payments and determines the funding was spent where intended, consistent with the Natural Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangements Determination in place at the time".
But Mr Nicholls rejected the claim and said the state's Auditor-General found "at a practical level, local governments had found it difficult, if not impossible, to comply with this new and higher level of evidence in respect to pre 2010-11 flooding and cyclone Yasi claims. The systems and processes [required] were not in place."
Mr Nicholls said his government was "not in a position" to change what happened "under the prior Bligh Labor Government" and felt "the people of Queensland should not be disadvantaged to the tune of $725 million due to these actions".
The debate between the two governments continues.

LAKELAND, Fla. (May 1, 2011) - Rollins opened play at the NCAA Division II South Region Tournament with a 295 and sits second, just four off the pace. Joanna Coe and Fabia Rothenfluh each carded one-under par rounds of 71 and are tied atop the leaderboard.
Top-ranked Nova Southeastern leads after day one with a round of 291. Saint Leo shot 306 and is third while host Florida Southern and Carson-Newman are tied for fourth with scores of 309.
Coe played the front-nine one over with a bogey on No. 6. She was hot on the back, scoring birdies on No. 10 and No. 12, then closed with six pars. Rothenfluh recorded a birdie No. 7, but gave the stroke back with a bogey on No. 8. She then hit another birdie on No. 12 to finish the day with a red number.
Cecilia Kleinert shot a 76 and is tied for 11th. She stumbled out of the gate, suffering bogeys on four of the first five holes. She recovered with two birdies and a double bogey on the back.
Brianna Seo is one back of Kleinert and tied for 16th after an opening round 77. Elin Marcsdottir shot an 81 Sunday and is tied for 37.

Tears of joy, a jubilant community, a grateful birthday girl and the spirit of Mandela Day in the air.
This was the scene in KwaNdengezi on Wednesday when a 107-year-old grandmother, Sarah Ngema, was given the ultimate birthday surprise by city manager Sibusiso Sithole, mayor James Nxumalo and several city officials.
Members of the municipality made their contribution to the Mandela Day celebrations, travelling to a number of destinations.
Among other things, they performed maintenance tasks at the JL Dube school and distributed blankets at the Ingwemabala orphanage. But their final stop, to visit Ngema, was the most special.
"I am so grateful and so thankful," said Ngema, unable to hold back tears.
The municipality promised to repaint her home and renovate her garden. She was given a birthday cake and a gift bag.
"We do this to spread the spirit of ubuntu, the spirit that Mandela embodies," said Sally Padayachie, widow of public service and administration minister Roy Padayachie.
She handed out blankets to Ngema and several other elderly women in the community.
Sithole said he believed that it was no coincidence that the former president and KwaNdengezi's oldest resident shared the same birthday.
"Both Madiba and Ngema are symbols of resilience and hard work," he said.
Throughout her youth, Ngema sustained herself through subsistence farming.
"Youngsters need to be independent and try to improve themselves," Sithole said.
"Mandela is an icon of human dignity. By doing this we join the spirit of caring garnered by this special day."
Ngema said: "Mandela is still a young man to me."
All around the province, people helped the elderly and orphaned children, and carried out repairs to infrastructure.
From large corporates to small businesses to ordinary people, the Mandela Day spirit was felt.
Film producer Anant Singh, who is working on the Mandela biopic Long Walk To Freedom, donated key sets from the movie to the Nelson Mandela Museum in Qunu.
"It is amazing how Madiba continues to impress globally," said Singh.
Employees of the KZN Department of Traditional Affairs wanted to make an impact that would last for many years, said senior general manager Ntokozo Chonco.
"The idea was not to do something for one day, but for three to five years, if not more," he said in Maqongqo, near Pietermaritzburg.
About 100 employees raised more than R15 000 to provide three families – a child-headed household, an unemployed couple and their children, and a grandfather who supports nine children – with what they needed.
The team planted a vege-table garden for unemployed Ntombifuthi Ngubane and her husband, Zomakahle Mkhize. They have five children. The children were given school uniforms and the eldest a scholarship to study next year.
For the child-headed household, the team pledged to provide the 15-year-old Grade 8 pupil with monthly groceries for herself and her 21-year-old unemployed brother until she finished matric.
Their kitchen was also fitted with appliances.
The staff are also to arrange a bursary so the schoolgirl may study further after she matriculates, if she so chooses. - The Mercury

Nokia N8 Hands-on
The box also has a number of connector leads in it such as HDMI to mini HDMI, microUSB to USB (male), microUSB to USB (female, enabling the phone to be used as a USB stick reader), as well as a 2mm Nokia charger. There are also a pair of earbud headphones which have music controls (play/pause, back, forward) and a volume rocker on them, as well as the standard microphone and call/end button.
On top of that is a bunch of literature in a number of languages guiding you through the phone. We've had a quick play, and our first impressions are: it's very Symbian and the camera is quick. That's all you're getting out of us now, we're going to head off and live with it for a short while so we can give you a comprehensive run-down on Nokia's multimedia powerhouse, the N8.
Keep an eye on PhoneArena over the coming days for our full review of the Nokia N8.

Damn you Nokia. Why can't you get this to the USA before mid October?

Im sorry nokia, u took to long. I tried to wait but i decided to go with the captivate which i have had for the past month and the n8 still isnt availible here yet...
5. DontHateOnS60 (Posts: 872; Member since: 20 Apr 2009)
I rolled with the Captivate for a week. Had to return it because I couldn't take it anymore. Android has a nice UI and I really like TouchWiz minus the iPhone icons, but the capacitive buttons, the awful battery life, lack of ringer profiles like Symbian's, and the lack of control over when you want to use your data connection sent me over the edge. There are other features too that I dearly missed like a camera flash and shutter button. Those two were big problems for me. Android just seems incomplete, like they gave users customization options here, but then there they have nothing. It makes no sense. I'm going to miss the huge application market and virtual QWERTY's, but Nokia will catch up on that front.

Awesome looking handset! Cannot wait until I get one!
7. aelliott (unregistered)
You may wish to check with NOKIA that you have the post-latest-delayed-software-updated version. Another website published a review that was fairly critical only to discover that the version they had been sent (about 2 weeks ago) was not the version now being shipped!
8. Schmao (Posts: 365; Member since: 05 Jul 2009)
This phone is what I would call SEXY (in phone terms). The only problems, is that I'm not a huge fan of Symbian. Perhaps android, or wp7, or even windows mobile. But i guess its just not for me. Doesn't mean that I won't pick this up. It's almost unresistantably sexy. No unresistantably is not a word. But it may become one. =] Wait scratch that. Thats how i feel about the e7=]. But its still sexy. Of course, the e7 is even sexier
13. krzyzag (unregistered)
Totally agree - awesome device. I may have finally found something to replace my HD2 :) Still though I may wait for E7 to come out :)
9. 1kr1 (unregistered)
Sexy "body" packed with muscle and a super-camera! I can not wait to have this one.. Seems to me that many users don't make a difference bethween the old and the new symbian, anyway i am not that sceptic and i am willing to give this one a chance.
10. John Bouýd (unregistered)
Looks damn good! A friend of mine already got his (he lives in finland). Apparently it is a superphone according to him. I cant wait until i get mine.
11. 123123 (unregistered)
wait until next year the nokia company will release Meego version and the price of N8 will drop like HELL !
12. venkata sudheer (unregistered)
Hi, I have waited for this phone for 4 months and I have brought the Wave, Not sure to buy this phone cus nokia N900 (Bulky and less features and more costly ) and nokia 5800 was a dissapointment to me. Revently all the nokia flagship models are not performing well. There are not many apps there in Simbian. I'm waiting for android os for Nokia, because the experience with symbian is very less compared to android or ios4. Nokia phones are not so fast in accessing net, that has to be changed since the users are needed the fast sppeds when accessing the wifi and battery should last longer. Any way lets hope nokia put their heart into this, I hate to become the experimental guy for the Nokia (recently all the post flagship models are good then flagship models). I hope phonearena scrutinizes the phone well

Why did nokia return from micro usb port in to the 2mm nokia charge port most of smartphones had the micro usb charge port. shame from nokia.
17. RVM (unregistered)
N8 has both microUSB and 2mm charge port, and u can use both of them for charging.

I'm not going to buy a phone till 2015 - by then we will probably have a shake out of all current OS's and the phones will be amazing.....

text: Before I provide the highlights of our results, I would like to provide a brief update of the development in China's wind power industry.Firstly, in light of China's energy demands, and the unfortunate events at the Fukushima nuclear plant in Japan, wind energy will contribute a higher proportion of China's energy requirements, because of its inherent advantages including safe and reliable proven technology, lower development costs and, more importantly, emission free. Hence, we believe wind power will take a larger share among new energy, and become an important energy solution for China. Secondly, the Government has implemented a range of policies designed to support the development of wind power industry, and to facilitate the more systematic development of the industry, from focusing on scale only, to focusing on returns on investment. This will be achieved through the development of national grids, enhancing the compatibility of the grid, and the scale of development. To resolve the grid connection issue, the State Grid Corporation of China has started to revamp the infrastructure of the grid facility nationwide. In addition, wind power equipment market is getting more concentrated, with more shares taken by the top five players. MingYang, as a top three listed wind turbine manufacturers, with its quality products, well developed value chain, leading technology, and research capabilities, proven business models, we are confident to maintain our leading position in the market competition. Thirdly, offshore wind power development, and decentralized and distributed style clean energy total solution, will become a new catalyst for the wind power industry in China. Guangdong, Shandong, Hebei, Jiangsu provinces have already finished the planning for 10 gigawatts wind power projects. Among them, Guangdong has granted MingYang the development rights to lead the SCD offshore wind power projects. MingYang will utilize this opportunity, together with SCD WTG's unique technology, cost advantage, offshore project service capabilities, and support capabilities, as well as innovative business models, to push forward offshore wind power development in the country, while enabling MingYang to become the leader in offshore wind power space.

Contingents from France's Brit Air and Spain's Air Nostrum joined Bombardier executives in Mirabel, Quebec, last month to mark the first deliveries of the newly certified CRJ1000. Together accounting for roughly half of the remaining CRJ backlog, Brit Air and Air Nostrum have placed firm orders for 14 and 35 copies of the new 100-seat jet, respectively. Brit Air said it planned to place its first airplane into service on its Lyon-Rome route during the holiday season.
Any lingering frustration over delivery delays due to problems Bombardier experienced with the CRJ1000's control-by-wire rudder system during certification testing appeared to have lifted by the time Brit Air CEO Marc Lamidey and Air Nostrum general manager Miguel Ángel Falcón arrived at the manufacturer's Montreal-area facilities.
"Their cost of operation, reliability, wide passenger acceptance and ability to offer seamless connection to Air France/KLM mainline flights are all major plusses," said Lamidey of the CRJ series, some 35 of which the airline already operates. "The larger CRJ1000 NextGen can only help to enhance these competitive advantages." Brit Air expects to take delivery of three more CRJ1000s this month.
Fellow launch customer Air Nostrum has now ordered 81 CRJs in all, along with 19 of Bombardier's Q Series turboprops. "The accolades Air Nostrum has received yearly since its start-up in 1994 are a testament to our operational expertise, customer satisfaction and the performance and reliability of our fleet of more than 60 Bombardier aircraft," said Air Nostrum's Falcón. "We are excited about putting the CRJ1000 NextGen aircraft into revenue service."
Launched in February 2007, the CRJ1000 entered flight-test on Sept. 3, 2008. By early in the summer of 2009, however, the program encountered a software "glitch" associated with the airplane's new control-by-wire rudder system. After Bombardier thought it found a solution to the problem, another software fault surfaced in early August 2009, effectively grounding the program's two flight-test aircraft until last February 13.
After the first prototype accumulated some 1,400 flight hours during 470 test missions, the type finally gained Transport Canada and EASA certification in early November.
Using a pair of fuselage plugs to achieve a 9-foot, 8-inch stretch of the 88-seat CRJ900, Bombardier also increased the airplane's wing area with a 7.5-percent trailing-edge extension and a 26-inch wing-tip extension. Powered by the same GE CF34-8C5 engines used on the CRJ700 and CRJ900, the CRJ1000 comes in three thrust variants, the highest of which allows for 5 percent more thrust than the standard variant offers. Along with the new control-by-wire rudder system, the CRJ1000 uses carbon, rather than steel, brakes and offers larger forward and aft baggage compartments. Bombardier also updated the CRJ1000's avionics suite with an improved FMS and new Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 digital radios.

Redskins tight end Jordan Reed said his bruised right quadriceps remains sore and that he is day-to-day.
The rookie left last week's game after taking a helmet to the leg. He didn't practice Wednesday and didn't expect to practice Thursday. Reed said he remains unsure of his status for the Redskins' game on Sunday at Oakland.
"Yeah, it's day-to-day right now, so if I feel good tomorrow, I'll be out there tomorrow," Reed said Thursday.
"It's always hurting. When I bend it is when it really starts hurting," he added, describing how his leg felt.
Reed has gotten off to a solid start as a rookie, recording 13 catches for 106 yards and a touchdown, which leads all of the Redskins' tight ends.

JERUSALEM (Aug. 26)
Vice Premier Shimon Peres, who has sided in recent weeks with the continuation of the controversial Lavi warplane project, is now trying to persuade his Ministerial colleagues to accept a compromise based on Lavi 2000 warplane plan for the 21st Century.
Peres met Wednesday with Premier Yitzhak Shamir, Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Finance Minister Moshe Nissim to further his proposal, in advance of a still-unscheduled deciding vote in the full Cabinet. Rabin and Nissim have been the strongest advocates of stopping the Lavi project at once, for economic reasons.
Peres' plan calls for the Israel Aircraft Industries (IAI), and the myriad smaller contractors involved in the Lavi project, to become involved instead in the development and production of a new generation F-16.
The U.S. Defense Department proposed such Israeli involvement in 1986, in the course of its ongoing efforts to persuade Israeli policymakers to forgo the Lavi. Washington feels the Lavi is too costly for Israel to undertake without seriously prejudicing other vital defense needs. Pentagon officials, and Israeli Air Force experts, believe the present generation F-16 can fulfil the needs designed to be covered by the Lavi.
Peres' plan would assume U.S. consent to convert to Shekels and use in Israel a further $100 million of the U.S. military aid package ($1.8 billion annually) for the Lavi-2000 project. Washington has indicated in the past that it would agree to this.
In effect, the Lavi 2000 idea would mean Israeli participation in American plans for an ATF or advanced Tactical Fighter, viewed by U.S. planners as the leap forward soon imminent in warplane design and technology.
By referring to Lavi 2000, Peres apparently hopes to woo some of the Ministers who have backed continuation of the present Lavi project. Peres himself has become convinced, during weeks of intense consultations with Defense and Finance Ministry officials, that the present project is not viable without a massive increase of the tax burden on the Israeli public.
Inside sources say Peres' new scheme is backed by his longtime friend Al Schwimmer, who founded IAI, but is opposed by the IAI's present management led by director-general Moshe Keret.

Bacon with Citrus Glaze
Bring a bit of sweetness to the salty bite of bacon with a simple orange glaze.
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 4
Source: Martha Stewart Living, September 2009
- 8 slices slab bacon (1/4 inch thick) or regular bacon
- 2 navel oranges
- 1 tablespoon cane syrup or honey
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lay bacon on a baking sheet. Juice oranges into a small saucepan, and add cane syrup. Cook over medium heat until glaze is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 8 minutes.
Brush some glaze over the bacon, and bake for 10 minutes. Brush with more glaze. Continue to bake until golden, about 15 minutes more (10 minutes if using regular bacon). Brush bacon with remaining glaze, and transfer to a parchment- or paper-towel-lined plate to drain before serving.

Take a look at these young chefs and commit their names to your memory, for these six are the brightest lights in Queensland's professional kitchens right now. Last week these young chefs battled it out in the finals of the brisbanetimes.com.au Good Food Guide Young Chef of the Year Award for 2014-15.
Applicants for the award were required to answer a series of questions and submit photographs of an original dish they had created. The six finalists were chosen by panel of their peers headed by veteran chef and owner of E'cco Bistro, Philip Johnson. The chefs had to undergo a rigorous interview and cook a dish for the judges (who refrained from scoring chefs from their own establishments). The competition, Johnson says, came down to the wire, with mere fractional points separating the winner (who will be announced at the brisbanetimes.com.au Good Food Guide Awards in July). So what were the judges looking for?
"A complete chef. Or as complete as you can be at 30 or under," Johnson says.
"Someone who is confident in their own ability and has a vision of where they are at and where they would like to go. Bearing in mind we are realistic that this may change as food itself evolves."
Johnson said it was refreshing to see that all six were not intent on following trends but trying to push themselves, while at the same time being mindful of the foundations of good cooking.
"More and more new techniques are being explored by young chefs. But it's still nice to see just a well roasted and rested piece of meat. Sous vide isn't the answer to everything."
The finalists

Works: Esquire
Position: Chef de cuisine

Your philosophy on food/cooking: I always want to be happy with the produce I use and the food I make, and I want my guests to feel the same joy.
In 5 years time I want to be ... Continuing to push myself to be more creative, more resourceful, more sustainable and happier. And to keep learning.

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
|It is requested that an image or images be included in this article to improve its quality.
Sittard's secret chemical weapon factory.
"We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender to Shittard."
Shittard is considered by many to be the greatest city in the Westelijke Mijnstreek, a region in the south of the Netherlands. It has around 48,000 inhabitants, all of whom are extremely good-looking and intelligent. Don't let their looks fool you, not every resident belongs in a mental institution. it has been uttered by Scientists such as Heinrich Schliemann, Zecharia Sitchin and Homer Simpson That Shittard is the Craddle of the true European Race. according to the theory, inhabitors of Shittard still posses Pure European characteristics, while other European nations have corrupted genes.
edit History
Shittard was founded in 856 (A.D.) by Viking invaders from Norway. Since there wasn't really much going on, they quickly resorted to eating all kinds of hallucinogenic mushrooms, having sex in full war gear and music. After inventing ska, they gave this town its name, meaning 'Place Where People Listen To Ska A Lot' in ancient Norwegian. Shittard started out as a small settlement, but has since grown to a somewhat bigger settlement. Almost everything in Shittard was built with horse poo, but because the great fire of 1239 destroyed almost all of the town, it was mostly rebuilt with bricks.
edit Culture and Education
People from Shittard like ska. It is what keeps the town of Shittard running. 50% of the economy of Shittard relies on ska. Bands such as the Slackers and Jaya the Cat have recorded live albums here and have performed many times in Shittard.
Because ska is so important to the town of Shittard, all the schools in Shittard require that their students take at least 2 years worth of Basic Ska Education and 1 year of Intermediate Ska Education. There are exceptions however; 3 years worth of Basic Punk Education is also considered to be equal to 2 years Basic Ska.
A very important lollyfactory in Shittard is the Trevianum. 2700 students go there. In 2003 it was the best lollyfactory of the Netherlands. Well, their gymnasium anyway. The HAVO and the Atheneum were absolutely rubbish. Curiously, students who actually go to the school call it 'gevangenis' (prison) or 'leerfabriek Trevianum' (learning factory Trevianum) instead of school or scholengroep Trevianum (school group Trevianum). The authoritative bastards who run the place are the main reason for this, but also the funky colours the school was painted in, making it unbearable for anyone to get high. The school is also known for it's ability to smoke pot during classes, it is believed by the teachers that smoking drugs and taking XTC helps to improve performance.
In 2006, the Shittard authorities seem to have a new mission: destroy as much nature as possible. If a tree is beautiful, let's cut it down. Since 2007, decided the Shittard authorities to quit destroying nature: Trevianum ran rampage with a strike through the whole region and all 2700 students ruined Shittard. Because of that, the Shittard authorities were fired and were succeeded by Dr. Evil, who is building a so-called new hospital which is in fact a weapon factory disguised as a hospital. Dr. Evil is going to build a large army, larger than the army of Oprah.
edit Sports
Fortuna Shittard is Shittard's "professional" football (soccer) team, who excel at losing games in the last 4 to 5 minutes. Shittard is also home to BC Bumpers, a "non-professional" basketball team, with players that are speculated to be able to be able to jump 11 feet underground. The basketball club is currently looking for cheerleaders, only apply if you are hot and sexy, and at least 18 years old.
edit Infrastructure
Although Shittard is surrounded by highways, it takes often an hour to reach it. Their excellent traffic control system puts every light on red. On many occasions there are human traffic controllers with a deathwish placed onto the middle of every junction, in the dark while the trafficlights work, so you can drive them down and make them yell at you.
Most of the time there are 3 or more important traffic junctions or even a main road under construction so everyone has to guess how to come home and drive around in circles without any directions.
Although Shittard has a railroad station, the only good train is the one which brings you as fast as possible away from it.

About the Book
About the Creator
Not knowing what I wanted to be when I "grew up," I was playing around on my parents old PC with a program called PrintShop. My mom, and my inspiration, told me that I could make a career out of the greeting cards, posters, etc. that I was making! I've always enjoyed art -- even back in 4th grade when I won the class vote on a book cover, to when I won a CIML (Central Iowa Metro League) award in high school, to a holiday card the president of my college choose to mail out. Though I never really got into art classes in my high school days until my junior year, I knew that this was really what I wanted to do. I immediately began taking college courses after high school at dmacc and now I'm employed for a print and web design company EDJE Technologies, www.edje.com.

Lisa Was it hard to change the format? I made a nice color cookbook and would like to maybe make a b+w too. Color is pricey for some of the younger family members.
Lisa Great idea to do the cookbook in color and black and white!! What a price difference! It's a darling cookbook!!

About the Book
This is a small sampling of images from an ongoing project which has spanned close to twenty years. The main theme of the project is the documentation of buildings in demise. I think it is important to make a photographic representation of these buildings before destruction, restoration, or major renovation.
I believe that there is a big difference between preservation and restoration. My goal is to preserve these structures photographically, to essentially freeze time and stop the progression of decay.
Fifty percent of the structures in this portfolio are no longer in existence. The remaining fifty percent have been moved, cleaned up, restored or renovated. In each case the landscape has been significantly altered.

An 'A' For the Ages
Posted: May 21, 2007 2:39pm ET
I don't often have time to enjoy an 'A' size cigar. Most are nine inches long by a 47 ring gauge, and smoking one is a commitment of well over an hour, even if you're working hard at it. But that would defeat the purpose.
A few years ago, I was heading off on a golf expedition to La Costa in Carlsbad, California with a winemaker friend of mine from Northern California. We stayed at the La Costa Resort, and had rounds of golf scheduled over two days.
So, after dinner on day one, I said, "I brought an OpusX 'A,' knowing that he was a big fan of the ultra-premium label from the Arturo Fuente company. It didn't take him more than a second to say sure, and we retired to the veranda overlooking the golf course, and the surrounding low hills of the La Costa area.
At the time, the 'A' had only been presented in charity auctions, and I had been lucky enough to receive a few directly from Carlos Fuente Jr. It was great gift, and I had been hoarding the cigars like a cache of Fort Knox gold. (I still have a handful to this day.)
We lit up the monster cigars. My first thought focused on the cigar's smoothness and elegance. To my taste, OpusX cigars can sometimes be a bit strong, but this was absolutely without a hint of harshness. I can still remember that blend of earthiness with spice, as I thought to myself, this is one of the greatest cigars I have ever smoked.
It remains one of my top five cigars of all time. And I can't wait for another perfect moment to light up one of those beautiful, long smokes.

Bravo !! You guys rated the OpusX Double Corona very highly also. I think there's something in the blend that favors a bigger cigar. I usually lay my OpusX and Anejo's down at least a year, although I prefer 2-3 years. I just think they're too harsh young..

Bar Harbor, ME—The Harborside Shakespeare Company (HSC) of downeast Maine returns to Hancock County this summer to perform another re-invented edition of a classical play. And they're looking for you! This season, the HSC will take on Shakespeare's magical masterpiece, A Midsummer Night's Dream. Auditions will be held April 27th, 28th and 29th at the Pleasant Street Pilates Studio in Bar Harbor. As a community-driven theater company, auditions are open to all.
Founded in 2012 by experienced directors and College of the Atlantic alumni Alicia Hynes and Dan Mahler, the HSC is a nonprofit theatre company offering classic plays in surprising, reimagined settings. Having created surprising versions of Shakespearean tragedies and comedies as well as the Greek drama The Bacchae as students, Hynes and Mahler kicked off the first season of HSC's programming last summer with a production of Romeo and Juliet.
"I appreciate Shakespeare even more now," says Gabrielle Keene, MDIHS graduate who played Juliet in last year's production. "It's not like in a classroom setting. It's so much more real and relatable."
This season, the company is taking a more light-hearted approach. "We figured it was time for a comedy…something uplifting and romantic," says Hynes. "There will be music, dance, and lots of laughter," adds Mahler.
Performances of Midsummer will begin on July 18th, and will also run on August 2nd and 3rd, 10th and 11th, and 22nd. Rehearsals will be geared to work and school schedules. "We want to make sure all community members can participate," says Hynes. "We make sure to schedule rehearsals around the actors' commitments." Those seeking to audition will be asked to select one of the audition monologues to perform in front of the directors.
In line with their mission statement, HSC's auditions are open to all. Hynes and Mahler aim to keep Shakespeare accessible by encouraging community members to be involved regardless of theatre experience or knowledge. Last year they had 13 cast members, all of whom had varied levels of past experience.
"It's so much fun!" says Keene. "If people are willing to take a challenge like Shakespeare, while having a blast doing it, than they should definitely audition."

Lanvin Resort 2015
For all the globetrotting fantasies it conjures, it's impossible to escape the real-world demands of resort. From wintery basics right through to the frothy high notes of cocktail hour, there's increasing expectations on the season to be all things to all women. "Pre-collection is all about need," said designer Alber Elbaz at Lanvin's presentation yesterday. "It's a bit like a very fancy supermarket."
And yet it's clear from the collection that the designer found plenty of ways to dream within those practical confines, and the familiar tropes of a working wardrobe were made to sing. A slouchy rendition on a tuxedo—came with all the right functional feminine touches, like a crêpe de Chine V-neck shirt spliced with organza "so the décolleté stays put." That louche attitude was sprigged with brightly colored corsage flowers and slinky silk scarves of the kind that Keith Richards would have borrowed from the girls back in the early 1970s.
A sense of easy elegance infused the collection, and oversize T-shirt-dresses were cut with a high-shine linen-cupro blend that read glamorous without being too precious. In that sense the clothes spoke directly to the central challenge that stylish women the world over grapple with every day—how do you reconcile what's comfortable with what's chic? Polished and sensible low-heeled loafers and lightweight crushable minaudières were just some of the solutions that stood out here. Not to mention a fantastic array of interchangeable separates to dance straight into the night, what is fast emerging as the modern approach to evening this season. There were sweeping moments of romance, too, like a lace-trimmed peasant blouse and dramatic ball skirt, and charming witticisms, like blinged-out digital watch pendants (set to 1:25 a.m., a nod to the house's 125th anniversary) that Elbaz described as "very Miami," a sort of elevated take on the retro Flavor Flav clock pendant. If the designer's playful shopping analogy for the collection rings true, then it's fair to say that the aisles will be stocked with desirable, functional fashion from ceiling to floor come November.

Hear breakout singer Laura Mvula's "She" and "Green Garden." Singer and pianist Laura Mvula was born in the UK and raised with myriad musical influences. Jazz came courtesy of her father, gospel via the church on Sunday and classical music through training in violin and piano from the age of 10. Before emerging as one of the best newcomers of 2012 (she was nominated for BBC Sound of 2013 and the Brit's Critic's Choice Award), she worked as a teacher and receptionist in Birmingham. She studied for four years at the Birmingham Conservertoire, where as well as gaining expertise in composition she acquired the name Mvula from her Zambia-born husband Themba Mvula — she's had the African blogosphere laying claim for a minute, but she's a daughter of the diaspora. Mvula spent a further four years working with legendary a capella group Black Voices, whose intricate approach to harmony winds its way through her work. Her first video, for the impeccable track "She" (below) was shot in the mountains of Montagu, Western Cape by South African director Damian Weilers.
We've already told you that Mvula's going to be huge, but in case you needed any more evidence listen to her new single "Green Garden," which will be released on February 24th. It's more upbeat and playful than the previous offerings, but if you think it sounds a little more produced than "Like the Morning Dew" or Laura Mvula's "She," let her BBC performance of the song prove how well "Green Garden" translates live. Mvula's debut album Sing to the Moon drops on March 4.
