Where is hot in April
By Mark Hodson, Sunday Times Travel Writer and Editor of 101 Holidays
Q. Where is hot in April?
A. It's the beginning of the tourist season in the Mediterranean and a wonderful time to visit. It's also a great month for a holiday in the Arabian Gulf, the Middle East or North Africa, before the summer heat becomes oppressive. The Caribbean is one of many excellent long-haul options.
April is a perfect time to get away for some early-season sun. It's springtime across the Mediterranean where you can expect warm temperatures and a friendly welcome, as the tourist season is just beginning. Further afield, the weather in the Caribbean is perfect with temperatures around 30°C and 8 or 9 hours of daily sunshine.
In 2018, Easter Sunday falls on 1 April, so if you travel around this time, during the school holidays, you can expect to pay a premium. If you're travelling solo, see our pick of the best singles holidays in April.

Mediterranean – Mid haul – Long haul
Where is hot in April in the Mediterranean
You can find warm weather in April across the Mediterranean – temperatures in the low-20s and up to 8 hours of daily sunshine. Nights tend to be a little chilly, and the sea will be cool for swimming. For the hottest weather, your best bet is to head to the more southerly Mediterranean destinations such as Crete and Cyprus.
If you want somewhere sunny, warm and packed with historical sites, try Malta. It has a great climate in April along with its sister island, Gozo. See the latest special offers. Or try Turkish-speaking North Cyprus which is great value because it's outside the Eurozone, and has some lovely places to stay including the port town of Kyrenia. In addition to beach holidays, you could try a walking holiday or cookery and culture tour.
The Aegean coast of Turkey also enjoys glorious sunny weather early in the season. Go before the summer crowds descend and, if you enjoy being on the water, try a gulet cruise. In Spain, you can find fabulous white sand beaches on the Costa de la Luz. Again, you won't find too many other tourists at this time of year.
The Greek island of Paxos is another relaxing destination for April holidays. It doesn't even have an airport – most visitors fly into neighbouring Corfu and transfer by ferry.
Other sunny destinations include the superb Italian island of Sardinia – where I recommend Forte Village Resort – and Halkidiki in mainland Greece, where I particularly like Sani Resort.
April is also a great month to take a city break in the Mediterranean. Best choices for guaranteed sunshine include Dubrovnik in Croatia, Sorrento on the Amalfi Coast of Italy, Seville in Andalucia and Palma, the stylsih capital of Mallorca.
Find more Mediterranean holiday ideas or see our guide to the best city breaks in spring.
Mid haul holidays
If you want somewhere a bit warmer, the Arabian Gulf will be around 33°C with 10 hours of sunshine – a little too warm for vigorous sightseeing but fine if you're staying in a luxury hotel. Dubai is the best known destination but you should also consider neighbouring Abu Dhabi. Or combine Dubai with the beautiful Sultanate of Oman where you'll get a taste of old Arabia.
Jordan offers amazing scenery, rich culture and welcoming people. The rock-carved ancient city of Petra is a must-see and can easily be combined with the Dead Sea and the beautiful desert wilderness of Wadi Rum. Expect temperatures of 24°C and 9 hours of sunshine.
Long haul holidays
The Caribbean is perfect for April holidays: great weather is pretty much guaranteed with consistent temperatures of 30°C and 9 hours of daily sunshine. Easter is popular with families – and prices reflect that – but if you can avoid the school holidays you will find great deals. Popular choices include Barbados and Jamaica. However, if you prefer a low-key Caribbean experience I recommend the small, laid-back islands of Grenada and Tobago. Divers should head for the Cayman Islands.
Check my recommendations for the best Caribbean holidays and find details on Caribbean weather in April.
It's also a great time to be in Bermuda where summer is starting, but the rainy season has yet to strike. Stay at Cambridge Beaches or – if you're on a tighter budget – Grotto Bay Resort.
The islands of the Indian Ocean are hot in April: take your pick between the Maldives, Mauritius and the Seychelles. The Maldives are ideal in April with temperatures of 31°C and 8 hours of daily sunshine. Mauritius usually gets a little rain but temperatures still hold around 28°C.
In Asia, April is a good month to visit Vietnam, where the beach resort of Nha Trang enjoys temperatures of 35°C. In Thailand, both Koh Samui (32°C; 8 hours of sunshine) and Phuket (33°C; 8 hours of sunshine) are great. This is also a good time to enjoy the beaches and wildlife-packed forests of Borneo.
Sri Lanka is hot in April – a great to explore this amazing, friendly country and kick back on its stunning beaches. The capital Colombo has temperatures of 32°C and 8 hours of sunshine, with a chance of showers.
Spring is a wonderful time to be in America, particularly in the South and Mid West, which both get oppressively hot in summer. You could start in Las Vegas (25°C; 12 hours of sunshine) then take a trip out to the Grand Canyon and perhaps a stay on a ranch. If you want to explore the national parks, take an escorted tour or an exciting fly-drive trip.
You could discover the vast beauty of Texas. In Florida – the "Sunshine State" – you could stay at a boutique hotel in Miami (27°C; 10 hours of sunshine), relax on the beaches of Fort Lauderdale, drive down to the Florida Keys, or rent a private home with pool in Orlando.
You'll find great weather in California where you could drive the Pacific Coast Highway or motor from California to Las Vegas.

The Teatro del Fuoco International Fire-dancing Festival returns to Palermo at the end of July!
According to Forbes magazine it is among the twelve coolest Festivals in the world. It was invented by journalist Amelia Bucalo Triglia, who suggests for our readers three places that are worth traveling to Sicily to visit…but only after they have witnessed the incredible spectacle of the Teatro del Fuoco!
"There is quite possibly no better way to truly connect with a foreign culture than to join in a local festival" Ann Abel is convinced of this, she is a journalist on the authoritative US magazine, Forbes, which periodically draws up a chart of the richest people in the world and has named the Teatro del Fuoco ® International Fire-dancing Festival as one of the twelve coolest events in the world to which it is worth making a trip. A trip to Sicily where, for eight years now, the Festival has been touring around the Aeolian Islands, Etna, Palermo, Catania and the Aegadian Islands.
This year, for the ninth edition, the Teatro del Fuoco will be in Palermo from 29 to 30 July.

Kirby's Return to Dream Land screenshot
|Bouncy Sis
|In Games
|Copy Ability
|Large Enemy
|You'll need good timing to dash under these enemies as they bounce on their springs."
|— Official European Kirby's Return to Dream Land website
Bouncy Sis is a large enemy in the Kirby series, debuting in Kirby's Return to Dream Land. She is the older sister of Bouncy. She yields no Copy Ability when inhaled.
Physical Appearance
Bouncy Sis looks to be a much larger version of Bouncy; she is a pink, UFO-shaped creature that sits atop a large metallic spring, wearing a bow on her head. Bouncy Sis has two smaller bows placed flatly on the sides of her head, a ring of red and orange lumps on her base, and frilly, pink lace adorning her base. The big bow on her head is covered in white polka-dots.
Kirby's Return to Dream Land
Bouncy Sis only has one attack: Bouncing up and down on her spring. She will either hop in place or hop moving forward. Bouncy Sis does little damage to Kirby if her attack hits, so she is a rather ineffective enemy.
Kirby's Dream Collection: Special Edition
Bouncy Sis appears in the New Challenge Stages mode, specifically in the Fighter Combat Chamber.
Kirby and the Rainbow Curse
Bouncy Sis appears in this game.
Bouncy Sis's name is indicative of her relationship with Bouncy as well as her jumping capability.

Could symptoms of heart attack be pain in my left arm around my elbow and left shoulder blade, pain on the back of my left arm, and pain in left armpit and in left oblique but not by the sternum? Could this be heart relatedREAD MORE
Can radiating pain in the left arm and shoulder blade be a heart attack?
Hi chris,
Heart attack symptoms take on many forms. It is better to be safe than sorry, so I would encourage you to get your pains evaluated by a physician. Here are 2 links to Heart Attack Symptoms & Heart Attack Warning Signs to review. We see many heart attacks on television that are the "classic" chest-clutching and collapse, but heart attacks can often be much more subtle than this and cause just as much damage. It's best to be safe.
Here are some other links that might be useful:

WASHINGTON – After being outmaneuvered in the politics of national security in the last two elections, Democrats say they are determined not to cede the issue this year and are working aggressively to cast President Bush as having diminished the nation's safety.
"They are not Swift boating us on security," said Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California, the Democratic minority leader.
Seeking to counter White House efforts to turn the alleged terrorist plot in Britain to Republican advantage, Democrats are using the arrests of the suspects to try to show Americans how the war in Iraq has fueled Islamic radicalism and distracted Bush and the Republican Congress from shoring up homeland security. They say they intend to drive that message home as the nation observes the coming anniversaries of Hurricane Katrina and the 9/11 attacks in the weeks before the November elections.
But they are not waiting. A video Monday on the Web site of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee showed footage of Osama bin Laden, referred to an increase in terror attacks, highlighted illegal immigration and pointed out the nuclear aspirations of Iran and North Korea.
"Feel safer?" it concludes. "Vote for change."
In another example, Rep. Harold E. Ford Jr., a Democrat running for the Senate in Tennessee, issued a statement Monday noting the administration shut down a CIA unit dedicated to pursuing bin Laden. The administration has said the CIA shut down the unit as part of a restructuring of its counterterrorism division and that the move did not diminish its focus on al-Qaida and its leaders.
"The president told us that the British attacks are a stark reminder that the nation is at war with Islamic fascists who will use any means to destroy those of us who love freedom, yet his administration has dismantled the very infrastructure that is responsible for catching those terrorists," Ford said.
Those statements and others challenging Republicans head-on over anti-terror initiatives are a sharp contrast to the efforts of Democrats in the two previous elections, when they stumbled in the face of Republican efforts to paint Democrats as weak.
"During the 2002 and 2004 elections, Republicans tried to sow fear in the American public by claiming that they were the only ones who could keep America safe," Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada, the Democratic leader, said in an e-mail message to supporters. "This, from the same crowd that has driven Iraq to the brink of disaster, left Osama bin Laden on the loose to attack again, and continues to ignore our security needs at home."
Democrats say polls show that Republicans and Bush have lost stature on the subject as Americans have become disillusioned with the war in Iraq. They also believe more voters are able to separate the war from efforts to protect the nation against terror attacks.
Republicans said they believe the Democratic efforts will fizzle, asserting that voters will ultimately choose to trust Republicans with the life-and-death issue of security. Bush on Monday disputed the notion his policies have contributed to a more dangerous world.

I was laid off in January of 2008 from my job as a commercial real estate construction lender, and I haven't had any income since.
I missed a couple payments on my storage unit, and they sold all my stuff. So everything I own stays in my car with me. I stay at my girlfriend's apartment for a couple weeks each month, and I try to dog-sit and cat-sit for my friends as much as possible so that I can stay at their apartments when they go on vacation.
When I got laid off, I decided to reinvent myself and went into social media. The housing market looked like it might start to get better, so I opened a small construction company for small businesses that relied on social media. But the economy didn't get better, and the companies couldn't pay me.
So I tried to go back to my first career path and have been applying to become a loan officer again. I have a wonderful resume and have been in the industry longer than the guy interviewing me a lot of the times, but because I'm unemployed they don't want to take me.
It's sad because I'm 41 years old -- I should be at the prime of my earning ability and it's just not that way.
Along with no income, I owe $12,000 in credit card debt and haven't made payments in two years. I own three real estate properties but had to ask my sister to take over the payments for now, so I owe her a lot of money, too.
Now, I'm restarting a movement I came up with called Pink Slip Mixers, where I introduce job seekers to employers at mixers. I'm going to invite companies I want to work for, and lead some panel discussions so that hopefully I can educate the audience, as well as highlight my own skills.
Last fall, CNNMoney profiled people who found creative ways to tackle their debt -- from selling belongings to going on spending fasts. Here's how they're doing now.

J2ME for mobile devices have been around for quite awhile now. Unfortunately, the majority of applications have been arcade games. However, things may begin to change with the release of a J2ME version of Google Maps (check out his tour ). I downloaded it on my Nokia 7710 (used the generic J2ME version) and it surely was surely a treat!
The key to ease of use for Mobile devices boils down to ease of navigation. With the endless multitude of devices with different form factors cross-product with the endless ways of mashing up Google Maps, you are surely looking at a millions of markets of dozens.
So if there was ever a time to start mastering J2ME, then this absolutely has just got to be it! I made a couple of predictions at the beginning of the year that have mostly come to fruition.
However, if I were to make a 2006 list, then J2ME would be the Javascript-AJAX equivalent prediction.

i admire women like beyonce and oprah and all other strong women who have something for themselve and don't let a man be in charge
i recently got dumped ..well he didn't dump me he just ignored me and after 2 months he has a new girl
and it strenghten me so much to just focus , exercize and be more powerful .. I'm only 20 so I want to be a strong woman
Most Helpful Guy
It's a good goal to be a strong woman, but don't assume that even Beyonce or Oprah never had relationship issues. Being strong helps for sure, but it doesn't assure that you'll never have someone break up with you. It just means that you won't let yourself spiral off into depression as a result.
One thing you need to do is learn to believe in yourself, believe that you are WORTHY of good relationships, and STAND UP FOR YOURSELF, from Day 1, in your relationships. You can do this without being mean or bitchy; you just have to be FIRM about what your needs and values are. A big part of that is not being afraid to communicate and to TELL THE TRUTH, especially when the truth is hard to hear or take. When your guy knows that you're going to tell the truth no matter what, HE is going to be more secure too. You also need to create a relationship where he is able to tell YOU the truth without you losing it if it's something you don't want to hear. You have to be able to work on those hard issues TOGETHER.
So, bullet points:
- Recognize your own value and worth.
- Stand up for yourself, from Day 1.
- Communicate.
- Be HONEST, always.
- Work through your problems together.
If you follow this plan, your successes will bolster your confidence, and your failures will just become learning experiences and not personal indictments. Know that you'll make mistakes and have failures along the way. Oprah has had plenty of failures. So has Beyonce, and so has EVERYONE WHO HAS EVER BEEN SUCCESSFUL. What made them successful is that when they failed, they got right back up and kept working on success, and they analyzed that failure to see what they could learn from it. Anyone who is a success will tell you that they learned more from their failures than from their actual success.00|00|0
I know but I dotn know if I should keep him on my fcb or cut him out
On those rare occasions when you end a relationship with zero hard or hurt feelings on either side, you can remain friends, but as a RULE, someone is going to be hurt, and so the wise decision is to make a clean break from them, cutting off all non-necessary communication. That way, you can heal without the wounds being constantly re-opened.

I have a very plump bottom lip and a very noticeable smaller top lip and I would like to get Botox injected in only my top lip, being 18 would you recommend that I wait ?
I Am 18 and I Want to Get Botox in my Top Lip, is That too Young?
Doctor Answers 18
Botox in top lip?
Thank you for your question. Your concern of having "a very noticeable smaller top lip" is a very common problem. This condition is easily corrected by adding a soft tissue filler such as restylane or juvederm. Botox would NOT be indicated for your problem as it will relax your muscles and will not increase the size of the lip.
Avoid botox for your upper lip and consider filler
Botox might elongate the upper lip by losing some muscular control and definitition. This might create problems with speech, expression and eating, not to mention whistling and playing a wind instrument. Fillers are often done for adding volume to thin upper lips, but at your age, you should see a board-certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist in consultation with your parent to determine if you are a candidate and if you should wait several years.

Botox for your lip?
Thank you for your question.
You want to improve the appearance of your upper lip so you would need to meet with a physician and discuss "fillers" not Botox. You are 18 years old so you can get these treatments if you wish - as long as you read the consent forms and understand the potential risks associated with these treatments.
Good Luck.

Can I use Botox for a Small Upper Lip?
Hi Celina. The issue here is not whether you are too young or not, but which product is appropriate for your situation.
Botox will not help with a small upper lip. Botox is used to relax muscle action rather than add volume. We would use Restylane, Juvederm or Perlane to add volume to the upper lip and have injected patients as young as 18 for issues where additional volume is desired. Good luck.

Plump up your lips with Exilis
1. If you want to plump up your upper- lip without any injections, try a few Exilis treatments. Exilis is the new radio-frequency device that can be used on the lip area to stimulate a little collagen, and plump up your lips. You can repeat this treatment periodically to maintain your fuller lips-- and you don't have to worry about duck-lips or any needles. This treatment tightens the skin above the upper-lip which will pull up the pink of your lip and allow a little more-lip show.
2. A longer-lasting solution is a filler such as Juvederm, and if done correctly it can look very natural.
3. You can combine these treatments. Treat with Exilis first and then fill with Juvederm.
Botox Injections for 18 Year Old
At 18, you're not too young for Botox injections, but this is not an appropriate treatment to improve the appearance of a small upper lip. Botox is used to decrease unwanted grooves and creases caused by facial muscle contractions. The injection of fillers such as Juvederm or fat injections are better treatments to augment your upper lip.
Wouldn't Recommend
As the other physicians have mentioned, filler treatments are more what you're looking at than botox, however, there's another way to look at this! You asked if you're too young and I think that's a great question. In my practice, we do these treatments, but I always caution people to look at themselves as someone else would see them! Remember, we are all our own worst critic! Others may look at you and not notice this lip size difference at all. Because we all want to be perfect, we may be harder on ourselves than we need to be. I do think this should be something to think long and hard about, because once you start something like this, you're likely going to have to continue. So at the age of 18, that's an even longer time than most!
Botox not for upper lip. Fillers are a better option.
Lip augmentation with Restylane or Juvederm would fill your upper lip nicely. Botox is a muscle relaxer, not a filler. It would not provide the result you seek.

Pope backs pop stars over debt
The Pope was one of the first to make an issue of debt repayment
The Pope has lent his support to a delegation including singers Bono and Bob Geldof who met him to discuss ways of cancelling third world debt.
Pope John Paul II used the meeting with representatives of the Jubilee 2000 campaign - which wants to see debts cancelled to mark the new millennium - to urge world leaders to take action.
"Poverty and gross inequalities remain widespread, despite enormous scientific progress. The Catholic Church looks at this situation with great concern.
"Debt relief is urgent. It is, in many ways, a precondition for the poorest countries to make progress in their fight against poverty. This is something which is now widely recognized, and credit is due to all those who have contributed to this change in direction.
"We have to ask, however, why progress in resolving the debt problem is still so slow. I appeal to all those involved, especially the most powerful nations, not to let this opportunity of the Jubilee Year pass, without taking a decisive step towards definitively resolving the debt crisis."
Geldof is already well-known for the Live Aid and Band Aid campaigns in the 1980s, and Bono told the BBC he was shocked that it seemed down to celebrities to bring the issue into the spotlight.
"At Live Aid, we thought raising $200m was amazing, but Africa pays that back in debt repayments every week."
After the meeting with the Pope, Geldof said: "Were the spirit of this frail old man mirrored in a practical way by our political leaders, then the final push of political will to eradicate this unnecessary tragedy, would be easily achieved."
Joining Geldof and Bono were music producer Quincy Jones and former United Nations under secretary-general Adebayo Adedji. The delegation will be led by Jubilee 2000 co-founder Ann Pettifor.
The campaign was inspired by Old Testament teachings which state that seven times seven years - a jubilee - debt should be erased and land should be returned.
Jubilee 2000 argues that debt is killing millions all over the world. It says money which needs to be spent on basic provisions including education and health care is often diverted into paying off huge loans handed out in the 1970s.
In the UK, Jubilee 2000 is backed by more than 90 organisations including the TUC, Oxfam, Friends of the Earth and Christian Aid. It has sister organisations in 50 other countries.
In June world leaders at the G8 summit in Cologne agreed to a Ł60 billion package designed to help two-thirds of the world's poorest countries. But campaigners are demanding more action is taken.
The meeting with the Pope is not the only initiative the entertainment industry is undertaking to campaign against third world debt.
On 8 October, the three NetAid concerts in Geneva, New York and London's Wembley Stadium will raise money for refugees and anti-famine measures around the world, and organisers hope to make more people aware of the issues surrounding third world debt.

Revealing the name of my stealth game and doing it on a budget again …
So the name is …
Ereptoria was the name of my very first game experiment. I say experiment as I was mostly messing around with the in-house CMS from my day job. It was a typical turn-based browser game in which players were the leaders of thieves' guilds on an island-city. Ereptoria – City of thieves was the exact name.
The game was online for a few months only then I shut it down (that was 6 years ago if not more). I didn't renew the domain and some domains hoarder took it. Eventually I realized the name was cool and waited to get the domain back. It took 2 years if I remember right. I had no clue what I'd be doing with it. I just knew that I liked the name and wanted to keep it for myself.
Two years ago I wrote this. What's written there is still valid though the details have changed. Back then I was still thinking of a city-island, waypoint to all trade routes, filled with thievery and murders and to this day this idea is still in my mind. The difference is that now I have a game to attach this concept to.
From space to dark fantasy
My stealth game project went from the initial idea of allowing players to play some kind of Han Solo or Malcom Reynolds. So a space game. I never could wrap my mind around the concept of stealth in space and couldn't find a way to make this fun. I still think it can be done but it's not in my mind right now.
Then I went to a Vietnam war concept. Some kind of reversed tower defense game still based around stealth. It wasn't a bad idea but it was terribly boring me so I moved away from that.
Then came the first "true" concept for my stealth game. At that point I already had a solid code base doing all kind of stuff. In fact doing way too much stuff. That's what you do when you have a vague idea in mind but can't make a game out of it. You keep working on your damn engine. So that concept was basically "Vampires VS aliens". Aliens came to Earth, fought humans and now vampires had to help humans just to be sure they wouldn't run out of food.
It was a nice concept but I just couldn't come with the right motivation to make a game with it. And the domain name is already taken so that didn't help my motivation (finding a good domain name is really hard… the weirdest things are already taken…).
So that's when I thought about that domain name I wanted to use for some game. I checked my notes, the concept behind Ereptoria and I found a match!
Doing it on a budget … again …
Well I'll skip the part about why it's done on a budget but for the first time I thought I'd have a nice amount of money to invest in a game. Stuff happens you know …
I know that you don't need to have a huge budget to create a cool game but this time I really wanted to do myself a favor. I wanted to have all my art custom-made. I wanted to pay someone to create a trailer (because I deeply hate doing that stuff). I wanted to have cool concept art done and maybe even give away t-shirts with it on it or something. I wanted to pay myself a big gift. So it's not about linking money to success it was just me wanting to spend money to have fun. Like some beach vacation if you want but while working on a game.
Inspiration from Dynamite Jack
Ever since I decided to do a 2D stealth game back in January I've been avoiding anything that might remotely be similar. I just wanted to figure it out by myself. The good news is that I think I did but (see point above) recently I was feeling a bit down I must say.
So I decided to go look at what others have done in the hope to find some motivation and I found Dynamite Jack. It's an addictive stealth game that I think didn't require the kind of money I was ready to throw on my current project. Well at least when it comes to graphics (yes I always link money to graphics because this is my weakest link). But the thing is that the game just works the way it is. It doesn't need to be fancier. It's already neat the way it is. In fact it's really fun and well worth the $5 I paid for it.
So just by playing this game I added a little bit of motivation to my big recipe I've been working on for the past 6 months. I see my own game differently by getting a bit of input from Dynamite Jack. It helps me to consider it for something else than maybe just a fun project I wanted to throw money on.
Don't get me wrong. I still wish I could spend all that money on my game just for my own satisfaction but now I feel like I can still produce something that I won't feel bad in any way about even though if now things have changed. The timing was perfect I must say.
So more news?
Nope. Not for now. But now you know that a game named Ereptoria (+ probably subtitle) will be released probably this year. By posting this I'm just adding some motivation to my big recipe. That way I'm sure I can't go back anymore

(CNSNews.com) - In an embarrassing security breach, anti-war activists in New Zealand early Wednesday broke into a communications facility they say is part of a global surveillance system that benefits the U.S. anti-terrorist campaign.
Three men were arrested after members of a group calling itself ANZAC Ploughshares said they cut through fences and slashed one of two giant white radomes covering satellite dishes, deflating the ball-shaped structure.
Center-left Prime Minister Helen Clark called the incident "a senseless act of criminal vandalism," but she declined to comment further on a security matter. "Our focus today is on the steps we're going to take to support the police with the criminal investigation and to start repairing the damage," she told reporters.
Three men later appeared in a district court in the small town of Blenheim and were remanded in custody. They were charged with criminal damage and entering with the intention of committing a crime, but they could face more serious sabotage charges.
The Waihopai base on New Zealand's South Island is operated by the Government Communications Security Bureau (GCSB). The Wellington-based agency says its functions are to collect and provide the New Zealand government with foreign intelligence, and to provide advice and expertise to ensure that the government's official information is protected.
Groups that have been protesting against the site for years claim it is part of a global eavesdropping network providing intelligence to the U.S. National Security Agency, and involving listening stations in Britain, Australia, New Zealand and Canada.
The alleged system, dubbed Echelon, was investigated by the European Parliament in 2001, following claims that it had been abused to benefit U.S. firms bidding for international contracts. The inquiry concluded that the system did exist, tracked mostly satellite-based messages, but also had the capacity to monitor telephone calls, faxes and emails.
The inquiry's report, debated by the parliament just days before 9/11, named the Waihopai base as one of the cogs.
In a statement, Ploughshares said its action was "responding to the Bush administration's admission that intelligence gathering is the most important tool in the so-called War on Terror."
"This war will have no end until citizens of the world refuse to let it continue," it said.
The group said its members, one of whom it described as a Dominican priest, had cut their way through three fences, including an electrified one, before attacking the dome. Then they "knelt in prayer to remember the people killed by United States military activity."
The GCSB is investigating what it described as a "deeply disturbing" breach of security. Agency director Bruce Ferguson said security cameras at the site had proven ineffective because of heavy fog.
Ferguson dismissed as an urban myth claims that the radomes, known colloquially as "golf balls," are designed to hide the direction in which the antennae are pointing. They serve to protect the antennae from exposure to the elements.
A group not involved in the incident, but which has protested against the Waihopai base for decades, congratulated Ploughshares on the action.
"Despite being under nominal New Zealand control, it is, in everything but name, an American spy base operating on New Zealand soil and at our expense," said Anti-Bases Campaign spokesman Murray Horton.
The anti-war campaigners believe that the base has provided information that has helped U.S. military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Clark's Labor government opposed the war against Iraq, but sent Special Air Service (SAS) troops to Afghanistan to help in the U.S.-led campaign against the Taliban and al-Qaeda after 9/11, and since then has had an Army provincial reconstruction team deployed in Bamyan province.

1.) Bright Lit Blue Skies- Ariel Pink's Haunted Grafitti
--It's a catchy tune that sounds really old skool (lol), and makes me nostalgic for Grease, as in the chorus, you can imagine Danny and his crew all join in. IT'S GREAT
2.) Chapel Club- All The Eastern Girls
--I must admit, took me a while to get into, but the chorus is sublime, and the lead singers voice is very dark, I'm feeling it. He is, also very handsome, which doesn't hurt while watching the video (hehe cheeky). Also his voice is pretty dark, I was expecting them to be a lot more moody, their sound isn't that intense. They seem like cool people, when I read their interview, and I like how they think of some music as art. CHEK IT O-UT.
4.) The Field Mice- If You Need Someone
----As soon as you play this, it has a great beat, and you can imagine skipping down the street to it. The lyrics are so sweet, I wish someone would say dat to m3!! God damn. But seriously, it's really brill and i'd suggest it!

When one of Chanticleer's colleagues opened an online wedding gift registry at the Myer department store, he naturally assumed it would allow wedding guests to buy goods online.
He was sorely mistaken. His brother-in-law in the United Kingdom found that in order to buy gifts, including a $900 coffee machine, he either had to phone Myer, email Myer or print out the gift list and go into the nearest store 10,000 kilometres away.
Myer says it is fully aware of the weaknesses in its online wedding gift registry and it is in the midst of upgrading it as quickly as possible.
This anecdote highlights how much work needs to be done by Australia's bricks and mortar retailers to bring their business models into the 21st century.
Overseas retailers not only have much more sophisticated online offerings, they also appear to be in the sweet spot for satisfying local consumer demand for upmarket fashion.
Strong demand for upmarket products would seem to contradict the apparent caution among consumers revealed in this week's national accounts and in recent consumer sentiment surveys.
But that is what was revealed in an analysis of the spending habits of 3.5 million customers of the Commonwealth Bank of Australia using internal data on credit and debit cards.
This is a powerful data base because it represents annual spending of about $1 billion in the year to September 2012 or about 10 per cent of the total spending in the sector.
The first conclusion drawn from the data by analyst Andrew McLennan was that foreign retailers are having a notable impact on low and mid-priced incumbents.
The data suggests that Australian consumers have gravitated away from local shops and are supporting the foreign invaders, including Zara, La Senza, GAP and Topshop.
Other foreigners known to be headed to Australia include the Japanese group, Uniqlo, Swedish retailer H&M and Hollister, which is owned by Abercrombie & Fitch. Others rumoured to be on the way are J. Crew, Banana Republic and Forever 21.
McLennan's second conclusion drawn from the CBA card data is that high end fashion is outperforming low-end and medium-level fashion. He says that is a worry for Myer because its products are generally in the middle price bracket.
Thirdly, the under-30 age bracket is showing the strongest growth in shopping relative to all other age groups. This group not only makes up the majority of fashion spending, it is also the biggest user of online shopping portals. For that reason, McLennan says it is a crucial group for department stores to be engaged with.
Brookes says Myer had 14 million unique visits to its website last year and now has 50,000 products available for sale online. However, don't forget that list of unique visitors includes those frustrated by the inadequacies of the Myer site.
The core plan developed by Brookes to put Myer back on a strong profit growth path is the Myer Exclusive Brand strategy. Myer has developed brands such as Basque, Vue, Heritage, Tokito, Miss Shop and Reserve.
Also it owns national brands that include sass & bide, Trent Nathan, Wayne Cooper and Grab. The company's Designers @ Myer program includes Karen Walker Home and Leona by Leona Edmiston.
But the jury is out on this strategy, according to the director of economics and market research at Urbis, Sue Say.
She gave Chanticleer exclusive details of the 21st Urbis Retail Averages Report being released next week. This report provides an annual measure of shopping centre performance using data supplied by owners of major Australian shopping centres.
The latest performance figures contained in the Urbis document show that department stores are not achieving strong consumer support, according to Say.
She says that it is not clear that Myer's own brands have the credibility that is associated with the brands launched by big international department stores such as Saks in New York or J. Crew.
One trend that is recognised by both Urbis and McLennan at CBA is the Australian preference for luxury goods.
This trend may not save Myer, but it is doing wonders for Australia's biggest shopping centre, Chadstone in Melbourne. The centre, which is half owned by John Gandel and half by Colonial First State Retail Property Trust, has a luxury goods section that is booming.
The Chadstone luxury precinct, which is known as the golden mile, includes shops owned by Louis Vuitton, Prada, Tiffanys, Miu Miu, Burberry, Coach, Gucci, Chanel and Salvatore Ferragamo.
Michael Gorman, fund manager of the CFS Retail Property Trust, says that data collected from the 29 shopping centres managed by CFS show that while luxury goods sales are very strong, sales of mid-level apparel are flat.
The strong luxury good sales can be explained by the fact that some of the stores are now offering their full range of products. Also, there a fewer luxury stores per head of population than in other countries.
Gorman says the single biggest reason why retail sales are only half the level of consumer spending is because of the strong Australian dollar. Instead of spending money on discretionary goods, 40 per cent of Australians are travelling overseas.
The Urbis theory is that luxury stores are doing well because those who normally buy big ticket luxury items such as boats and luxury cars are instead buying luxury accessories.
The socioeconomic profile analysis by McLennan at CBA shows that wealthy households showed the strongest growth in both online retail purchases and buying goods from new international entrants.
One positive for Myer is that the Urbis research shows that people who shop at luxury stores in Chadstone also are visiting other stores. They are not involved in a one-stop shopping experience.
One of Myer's responses to the threats posed to its business from online and international brands is to continue to put pressure on the federal government to impose GST on online purchases of foreign goods worth less than $1000.
Myer chairman Paul McLintock told the annual meeting the company was "still frustrated by the duty and GST loophole that exists that provides overseas online retailers with an advantage over local retailers".
"The internet has broken down traditional trade barriers and it is critical that reforms keep pace to ensure our local businesses are competitive." He welcomed the announcement last week by Assistant Treasurer
McLintock says "if the federal government truly values the retail sector, the impact of increasing labour costs and uncompetitive nature of online retailing must be balanced by measures to improve productivity or flexibility."
"We look forward to the outcomes of the GST review, as well as the Low Import Threshold taskforce delivering reforms to ensure the retail industry can continue providing economic benefits to all Australians by remaining globally competitive."
There is a debate about whether lowering the GST-free threshold on foreign purchases will work. McLennan says, according to CBA credit and debit card data, cutting the threshold to $100 would catch 78 per cent of offshore transactions in the tax net. However, the Productivity Commission questioned whether the revenue from the tax changes would cover the cost of collecting the tax.

There is a great way that you can check out a transport company with auto transport reviews.
Reviews are something that people have been using for years to find companies with the best reputations. When you look at reviews you are likely to find exactly what you are looking for. You will also be able to find out which companies please their customers the most.
Auto transport is something that many more private individuals are using. Long distance moves are more common in the United States. This has created a situation where a family has to get all of their items, themselves and cars a very long distance. Moving cars can seem nearly impossible in some situations until you discover auto transport.
Many companies are fully prepared to deal with individuals. You may find companies that can move your car to the location that you prefer. This can give you some great insight on how this really works.
When you read reviews you will find that when you use auto transport you will have a location where you drop off your car. You want to make this as close to your home as possible. You drop off your car with an experienced driver, and all of the hauling is done for you.
When you have found auto transport companies that work within your location, you will then be able to seek out reviews. This can help you to make your final decision based upon what others are saying.
You should also look for how a company fixed any problems that a consumer had with services. This can also be very important to your decision. You will want to look for companies that resolve problems quickly. Every company will make mistakes from time to time, but it is also very important on how they fix these mistakes.
If you find a company that has many negative reviews, this is one that you will want to avoid. You may find that many people have problems with the same company. You do not want to have a bad experience and reviews can help you to stay safe.
If you have a great experience with an auto transport company, you can use this to write your own auto transport reviews. You will be able to use reviews now and in the future.

Representative Ann Kirkpatrick today released the following statement in response to the Center for Biological Diversity (CBD) and similar groups petitioning the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to ban all lead ammunition:
"In these tough economic times, we cannot afford knee-jerk reactions like this. The ban would be a huge burden to our hunters and sportsmen, and I am concerned that this is basically an end-run around their Second Amendment rights. There has to be a body of scientific evidence illustrating beyond a doubt that this is a grave issue of concern before we jump to proposed solutions -- we shouldn't leap into addressing a problem that may be no problem at all."
The EPA today rejected a petition by CBD and several other organizations to ban lead shot and bullets under the Toxic Substance Control Act. They had filed earlier this month, despite the fact that the law was written to specifically bar the agency from regulating ammunition.
Rep. Kirkpatrick has a long track record of successfully defying the White House and Congressional leadership to maintain and protect the Second Amendment. Last March, the Congresswoman sent a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder opposing any reinstatement of the so-called "assault weapons" ban, in an effort that won the praise of the National Rifle Association (NRA). She later helped push through an NRA- and Gun Owners of America-endorsed amendment to strengthen protections for law-abiding gun owners in national parks, and was part of a bipartisan coalition of Members of Congress who filed a brief with the Supreme Court insisting that the Bill of Rights protects guns owners against state and local government restrictions in the McDonald v. Chicago case.
Rep. Kirkpatrick has also been working to make progress on bills to allow people to travel with their firearms more easily and to let Veterans keep weapons they found serving abroad as souvenirs of their service. Further, she has been a staunch opponent of the creation of a federal gun registration database, co-sponsoring a resolution declaring that such a law would be unconstitutional.

Hey kocksmoke, I research more about which break in a 200 mile radius to hit at which swell direction occurs in a damn 10 minute window on the EC when we finally get a swell worth talking about than you do about ways to triple-dip into gubment cheese. I drive by breaks more often than you drive-thru at McDonald's, which is nearly impossible. My trip out here is cut short by two thirds after losing a family member. There was 2.5 hours of sunlight left so was it really the right move to spend 90+ minutes pissing away through traffic here on the coast to find the perfect break? There's a ton of guys here with immense knowledge of SoCal breaks. It was a simple question to answer as to which breaks are good at low tide.
We have people getting legit responses to an incredibly generic thread such as "what is the best break in New Jersey?" yet I'm getting an earful from a waste of life.
FYI...that post was not for viajero, it was for KockMonster

Fox Orders Batman Prequel GOTHAM to Series
According to Deadline, Fox has officially ordered its Batman prequel project GOTHAM to series.
Gotham is based upon characters published by DC Comics and is produced by Warner Bros. Television. Bruno Heller wrote the pilot, which will be directed and executive-produced by Emmy Award nominee Danny Cannon (the "CSI" series, "Nikita").
Gotham is an origin story of the great DC Comics super villains and vigilantes, revealing an entirely new chapter that has never been told. From executive producer/writer Bruno Heller ("The Mentalist," "Rome"), "Gotham" follows one cop's rise through a dangerously corrupt city teetering on the edge of evil and chronicles the birth of one of the most popular super heroes of our time.
The project stars Ben McKenzie, Donal Logue, Jada Pinkett Smith and more.

LINZ formalises Antarctica NZ relationship
LINZ formalises Antarctica NZ relationship
Land information New Zealand (LINZ) and Antarctica New Zealand have today signed a historic Record of Understanding – formalising their longstanding relationship and strengthening their ongoing commitment to collaborative projects on the world's coldest continent.
"LINZ and Antarctica NZ have had a long association, and have worked together in Antarctica for more than 60 years," LINZ Chief Executive Peter Mersi said.
"As our relationship has continued to evolve, we identified a need to formalise it for the first time. In doing so, our agencies are strengthening our commitment to working together, and allowing for long-term planning and logistic support planning."
LINZ has direct responsibility – for mapping, charting and geodetic survey, and place naming – that extends to the Ross Dependency of Antarctica.
"Under the agreement signed today, LINZ will provide professional services to undertake key activities in these areas of responsibility. Antarctica NZ will continue to provide logistical support for LINZ to undertake key activities, and will continue to provide administrative support to the New Zealand Geographic Board (NZGB) in respect to geographic naming," Mr Mersi said.
"Collaboration forms an important strand of Antarctica New Zealand's strategic objectives to support the delivery of science in Antarctica and the Southern Ocean," said Antarctica New Zealand Chief Executive Peter Beggs.
"LINZ has been a long-term partner in that endeavour and we are delighted to formalise that relationship in this Record of Understanding," he said.
Key collaborative activities over the next five years include topographic mapping in the Ross Dependency; contributing to an international programme to establish gravity measurements in Antarctica; and hydrographic charting in the Ross Sea region of Antarctica.

Arrigo Paludano or Arrigo Fiammingo (original Flemish name Hendrik Van Den Broeck; born 1519 in Mechelen, died 28 September 1597 in Rome) was a Flemish painter. He was specialised in religious paintings and also painted stained glass windows.
In 1557 he wass mentioned as a glass painter for Cosimo de'Medici in Florence and from 1561 he was active in Umbria, where we find his work in the cahedral of Orvieto. We find several paintings of his in Perugia and later Assisi.
From 1567 he worked in Rome and Naples. The fresco of The Ressurection of Christ in the Sistine Chapel dates from 1571/1572. He returned to Umbria in 1581 and worked there until 1588, when he again went to Rome to work in the Vatican and the basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore.

I wouldn't be surprised. I'll check my Pittsburgh links.
He's been on-the-outs for quite a while, and I've thought all along that he'd be a tremendous up-grade for the Colts.
ESPN Insider's scouting report:
Height: 6-1
Weight: 257
Age: 26
Born: Jul. 2, 1978
Augusta, GA
Position: Linebacker
Grade 81
Insider Analysis
Bell doesn't do a great job of reading and reacting on the outside, his technique and diagnose is not what it should be, and as a result, he seems to be a step late to plays that he should be involved in. His lack of instincts also affect him in coverage as he will struggle at times when he has to turn and run with the backs. He can run pretty well, and when turned loose, he does a nice job of chasing down plays in the run game, he can be a good open field tackler, and on the college level he was outstanding in space, but on the NFL level, he seems to be doing more thinking than reacting and it's really affected his play.
Position Linebacker
'04 Team Pittsburgh Steelers
'05 Team
Exp. 4 Years
My primary comment on him is that he was awesome as a rookie, and he's been hurt ever since. He's probably the Steeler's version of Jon Bender. He's got his so-called "Christmas Day" game, and he's a physical freak, but its been a while since anyone has seen it.
I hope he re-signs with Pittsburgh, but we're so deep at LB that he's just a luxury.
I don't know how well he'd do an a 4-3. I thought he'd be great in Dick LeBeau's system because they could let him gamble and run all over the field while still having James Farrier in the middle. But it took him all season to recover from a groin pull. :rolleyes: I think he's best when paired with a Farrior (or Levon Kirkland) type at ILB, not flying solo at MLB.
No one has any links yet...............................HE is veryveryvery CHEAP :D
Because he has been veryveryvery fragile. :devil:
I am really excited. I will be even more excited when it becomes officail.
March 1st is the date FA's can be signed, so I dont think you will be seeing any major sport sites having links on this yet.
W/ this much hype i suppose it is true :cool:
From today's PG
LB.....Kendrell Bell
Might not receive an offer before March 2 from the Steelers. The only scenario in which he would return is if no one else makes him a large offer.
LB.....Larry Foote
Started every game for injured Kendrell Bell and proved to be a capable NFL starter at inside linebacker. They want to keep him.

Although it's basically the same as the HTC Incredible S that we reviewed over a month ago, the HTC DROID Incredible 2 comes out of the gate bringing some improvements over its predecessor – while being retaining its global stature as a CDMA device. However, it's coming in at a time when we're seeing devices like the HTC ThunderBolt and Samsung Droid Charge taking precedence with their next-generation hardware. Is it too late for the DROID Incredible 2 at this point?...

Uncyclopedia:Pee Review/The First Lunar-American War
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
edit The First Lunar-American War
Well, I'm fairly satisfied with what I have so far, but I need an effective way to close out the article, and I'd like to base it off of the current event that I'm spoofing, aka the NASA probe crashing into the moon. I also thought about tying in Obama's Nobel Peace Prize into the article, but haven't yet, any suggestions?
Skinfan13 14:52, October 15, 2009 (UTC)
I enjoyed the article. Random thoughts:
- Far be it from me to discourage anyone from making fun of Obama, but the initial premise--suspicion, despite clear lack of certainty, that an adversary is arming, begs for a tie-in to the Bush-WMD brouhaha, perhaps with specific parallels with Iraq, perhaps proceeding as though you had read newspapers from the start of the Iraq war and mistook Iraq for the moon. Where's Joe Wilson (Valerie Plame's husband, not the "You Lie!" Congressman)?
- To the extent that you involve Obama, such as in the initial quote or in the speech to the UN, you have him saying vanilla statesmanlike stuff. This is not funny, it is unlike Obama, and it misses a great chance to have fun at Obama's expense. Remember, he apologizes for America's past, right up to the day he took the Oath, touts his willingness to talk to everyone without precondition, and vaguely refers to his adversaries (by name). Using Obama as a President placeholder is boring. Describing the real Obama can't help but be hilarious. Why didn't Obama snub Israel to try to get on the Moon's good side? That's one of many possible directions for this.
- Absolutely tie in Obama's Peace Prize and the extreme lack of results that preceded it; also the worry in the US that the timing of the award was meant to tie his hands on Afghanistan. In your story, surely Obama gets the Prize just as the canisters are on their way to the moon, the Nobel committee blathers about his peacemaking even though he's launched weapons; and he dithers, speechifies, tries to take it back, and tries to spin the impact when it happens.
- You also have the UN acting much more serious and decisive than it is. A single one-month disarmament period? No easily fooled "inspectors"? No attempts by the US and UN to have each other do the heavy lifting?
- Underground armaments on the moon begs for comparison to Iran. Obama just asked the military to get the "bunker-buster" bomb ready again, leading to suspicion he meant Iran.
- Remember, in the real-life NASA probe, both canister and instrumentation collided with the Moon (a double salvo). (PS--Shouldn't be hard to relate a spacecraft taking movies of the first impact with Obama's notorious obsession with himself and his press coverage.)
- It's not that important how the article ends, as the story is ongoing. But the final section analyzes the "conflict" at face value. Better to emphasize that everyone involved was a fool. You haven't even begun to mention how the military screws everything up and only wins wars because the other militaries are worse!
Marvelous potential to keep having fun with this; keep at it! Spıke Ѧ 04:33, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
|Very many wasted opportunities at humor by reference to current events. You are thinking too much about a real war and how it might go, and too little about what fools the entire cast of characters are.
|Prose and formatting:
|Why does the moon's flag have red-and-white stripes? It should be as barren as the moon is. Shorten the title ("Lunar War" or "War against the Moon") and you may get more readers.
|Final Score:
|Don't take seriously my number grades. The real review is in prose (above). I'm just filling out this form to complete the review process. I love current-events humor and would like to contribute to this article in the future.

Masters in the kitchen
South African culinary creations are starting to permeate across the globe with their enticing flavour and interesting combination of local ingredients.
Local version of the Australian reality show, Masterchef, was a hit amongst South Africans and has also gone a far way in showing the world that South African fare really does have what it takes to compete on an international level.
Australian Masterchef Neil Perry is in South Africa this week to experience what makes our food so unique and spent Monday afternoon cooking up a storm in the kitchen of 54 on Bath with our very own Masterchef South Africa judge, Benny Masekwameng.
The pair showed off their finely-honed skills in one of Johannesburg's hotels, 54 on Bath. The hotel was recently renovated and now incorporates the charm of the finest hospitality coupled with modern design and décor.
Perry had lots to say about how much he loved South Africa during his stay in our beautiful country and got the chance to experience the Cape Winelands, a game experience at Phinda Private Game Reserve and lots of sumptuous dishes along the way.
One of my favourite tweets from Neil during his stay had to be: "The team @ &Beyond's Phinda lodge, possibly the best place on earth", he included the picture alongside of the team.
Big thanks for Neil to visiting our amazing country and immersing himself in everything we have to offer for those looking to get away and enjoy some time out!
