lmao this confirms i am NOT going to 2.0. you people who had 1.1.4 and upgraded to 2.0 are just plain dumb.
solitaire and tetris are on there
No MMS either
It does seem like the common theme here is there are no Apps available that alter in any way the user interface - be it general themes (like SMB), notifications (TaskBar Notifier, Intelliscreen), or system utilities (like Services).
Bummer. This all leads me to believe there is never any hope of copy and paste ever coming to the iPhone (unless Apple finally realizes it is missing)...
Side Note: what, on earth, could Apple's reasoning be for not copy & paste? They must have thought to include it at some point, then decided no.
ya. why isnt apple letting us change the themes. like customize or smb prefs. but even if they did approve it would take a long time and it would probably coast alot. i cant wait for this to be jailbroken so i can have the appstore and installer on my 3G iphone
I think the apps that have been approved so far were arbitrarily selected. There are many apps "in review", presumably to be released soon. Perhaps they want a stream of new apps, as opposed to having all of them available at launch. Like drinking from a firehose.
Probably something to do with branding. If someone saw yours with a different theme it would look less like an iPhone and businesses assume people are stupid and would not know that it is one.

RIP Steve Jobs.. You changed the world
The only customization of any kind is the retro dialer pad in the App Store.

The best app ever, mobilescrobbler.
EDIT2: It doesn't track your plays.. nevermind.
I wish someone would release Theme Builder or somthing like it soon? I have seen a few themes that I like parts of but I liked when I controlled what the screen looked on my iphone, Plus for some reason now I cant change the wallpaper AT ALL? Not from settings not even using a photo and doing it that way so please release something that gives control back, Or maybe after 2:00pm today Ill be starting all over again anyway? : ))
[FONT="Arial Black"]
Nope, no apps that change anything with the OS (wallpaper included). I wish they'd have iPhysics available.

Culture of Karachi
Karachi has been thought to be the southwestern pillar of the cultural edifice of Sindh. The cultural history of Karachi goes back at least 500 years from the emergence of Indus Civilization in the 3rd millennium B.C. The culture appears to be essentially Neolithic with widespread use of small chart implements and semi-precious stones. A large number of Megalithic graves around Karachi put it in class with the Megalithic movements of the Arabian Peninsula.[1]

History of Karachi[edit]
The ancient name of Karachi from the accounts of Alexander's historians appears to be KROKOLA which literally means "a place of crocodile worship". Around 1558, Karachi was a conglomerate of about two dozen fishing villages, called KALACHI or KALATI. This small settlement was projected into prominence when Seth Bhoju Mal laid the foundation of a small township on the left bank of Lyari River in 1729. "Its rise into notice began with the period of the Kalhora princes in 1793. They first recognised the value of the harbour for commerce. The capture of the Manora fort in 1839 put the British in possession of the town."[2]
The modern port-city of Karachi, however, was developed by authorities of the British Raj in the 19th century. Upon the independence of Pakistan in 1947, the city was selected to become the national capital, and was settled by Muslim refugees from at the time of the independence in 1947, which radically expanded the city's population and transformed the demographics and economy.
The cultural heritage of Karachi has great significance, more so because of the 'Kalachi-Jo-Kunn' (whirlpool of Kalachi) in which Moriro had exhibited the feat of his strength by killing a monstrous shark which had killed all six of his brothers during their pursuit of fishing. This folklore is sung by Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai (1689-1752), the greatest poet of Sindh in his poetic collection of RISALO making it an immortal legend in the history of Sindh. Besides, there are a number of cultural sites in and around Karachi testifying the glorious past of Karachi.
"WAGU DARR" (earthen cavity for living of a crocodile) is located at the coastal village namely Chashma Goth near Korangi. A natural sweet water spring is flowing perennially by the site of this site. It is also a crocodile worship center besides Manghopir where people offer meat to the crocodiles and bath in hot and cold sulphuric springs for treatment of their skin diseases. The ruins of RATO KOT are located in the Korangi Creek. This fort is thought to have been a contemporary settlement of Debal port (Bhambhore in the view of some archaeologists) conquered by Mohammad Bin Qasim in 712 AD. Baked earthen balls used in mechanically-driven cannons of the olden days, shards, glazed tiles and other artifacts are found scattered on the surface of the site. The CHOWKUNDI graveyard, a protected monument of the 17 and 18th century AD and BALOCH TOMBS near Memon Goth of Malir exhibit monumental structures of the stone- carved graves.
MOKHI-MATARA is yet another cultural site situated on the top of Narathar Hill near Gadap and located on an ancient route emanating from ancient Debal port to the Central Asia. The folklore of Mokhi-Matara is also sung by Sindh's greatest poet Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai.[3]
Historically, Sindhi and Balochi were spoken by the native population before the British conquest in 1843 by Charles James Napier. During British rule, many Gujrati and Parsi business families and Christian Goans bureaucracy migrated from Bombay Presidency to Karachi as it was being developed as a major port. After independence of Pakistan in 1947, Muslim refugees (Muhajirs) migrated to Karachi. The vast majority of Muhajirs spoke Urdu. Today Karachi is predominantly Urdu speaking city with many other languages also spoken in the city. The Pashtuns (Pakhtuns or Pathans), originally from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, FATA and northern Balochistan, are now the city's third largest ethnic group in Karachi after Muhajirs.[4][5] With as high as 7 million by some estimates, the city of Karachi in Pakistan has the largest concentration of urban Pakhtun population in the world, including 50,000 registered Afghan refugees in the city.[6] As per current demographic ratio Pashtuns are about 12% of Karachi's population.[7]
|This article needs to be updated. (April 2015)
According to the census of 1998 linguistic distribution of the city is: Urdu: 48.52%; Sindhi: 7.34%;Punjabi: 13.64%; Pashto: 11.96%; Balochi: 4.34%; Saraiki: 2.11%; others: 12.09%. The others include Dari, Gujarati, Dawoodi Bohra, Memon, Marwari, Brahui, Makrani, Khowar, Burushaski, Arabic, Persian and Bengali. Also due to Globalization an increasing amount of the city's youth has taken to converse in English.[citation needed]
|Religions in Karachi[8][9][10][11]
Karachi is predominantly Muslim (Sunni 66% and Shia 34%) city with small religious minorities. The religious break-up of the city is as follows: Muslim: 96.45%; Christian: 2.42% (predominately Roman Catholic and Protestant, with smaller Orthodox populations); Hindu: 0.86%; Ahmadi: 0.17%; others 0.10%. The others include Parsis, Sikhs, Bahai, Jews, and Buddhists.
Poetry is deeply embedded in Pakistani culture and is considered a sign of artistic and intellectual commentary. Karachi boasts a large community of intellectuals who come together in designated open spaces to share their talent in poetry events known as mushairas in the local language. A large number of intellectuals and aspiring poets from all over the nation also flock to Karachi, hoping to find better work opportunities in the city. The theme and subject matter of the poetry can vary immensely, but most are socio-cultural commentaries, often infused with a biting sense of humour.
Certain poets are worth mentioning like Ishrat Afreen, a pakistani feminist and a prominent poet. Afreen recently launched her second Urdu Poetry collection under the name "Dhoop apnay hissay ki".[12]
Some literary figures shifted their focus from poetry to prose and fiction like the case of Mustansar Hussain Tarar, who recently released a collection of short stories entitled "Pandra Kahaniyan".
Non-fiction is also popular in the literary scene of Karachi. This is noticeable through the praise that Ahfazur Rahman received on his book "Sab Say Bari Jang".[13]
Art Academies, Arenas and Festivals[edit]
Karachi is home to some of Pakistan's important cultural institutions. The National Academy of Performing Arts,[14] located in the newly renovated Hindu Gymkhana offers a two-year diploma course in performing arts that include classical music and contemporary theatre. The All Pakistan Music Conference, linked to the 45-year-old similar institution in Lahore, has been holding its Annual Music Festival since its inception in 2004. The festival is now a well established feature of the city life of Karachi that is awaited anxiously and attended by more than 3000 citizens of Karachi as well as people from other cities.[15]
Aside from regular performances by the nation's biggest musical stars, Karachi also boasts one of the biggest underground music scenes in the country, where traditional musical influences blend with modern, Western style to create a unique brand of fusion music. This style of music has been very popular all across Pakistan and it's becoming quite trendy amongst the nation's up-and-coming musicians. Many of the nation's emerging musicians have based themselves in Karachi because of the excellent employment opportunities in the burgeoning entertainment industry of Karachi. Many of the nation's fresh musical acts can be found in cafes, restaurants and concerts across Karachi, especially in the city's upper middle class and upper class areas.
The National Arts Council (Koocha-e-Saqafat) also has musical performances and mushairas. Karachi has a few museums including the Mohatta Palace Museum and National Museum of Pakistan that regularly have exhibitions related to performance arts. Karachi is also home to the annual Kara Film Festival, which is one of the biggest film festivals in Pakistan and showcases independent Pakistani and international films and documentaries.
Recently, youths inspired by theatre and improv have formed Karachi's first drama club, called The Acting Wheel. Groups of young theatre enthusiasts meet twice a month to act out famous film and theatre scripts spontaneously. These are not rehearsed performance but rather a forum to encourage spontaneous, improv acting. Participants are encouraged to let go of their inhibitions and just act out. Recaps of each act-olution can be found at http://www.theactingwheel.blogspot.com
Galleries and Fine Art exhibitions[edit]
Emerging new artists in the filed of painting, digital art and calligraphy are currently experiencing a boom. Karachi is home to the Clifton Art Gallery.[16] The Calligraphy Artist Bin Qulander is currently exhibiting his work in the aforementioned Gallery under the title of "God in the details".[17]
Karachiites are avid shoppers, and, as such, Karachi boasts an incredible diversity in terms of shopping, accommodating anyone's preferences and budget. Products that shoppers can buy in Karachi come from a vast variety of sources, from one of the many local cottage industries to authentic brand wear by renowned international designers. The city has many modern, high-end shopping malls such as Park Towers, The Forum and Dolmen Mall, in addition to local mid-range bazaars and a gamut of streetside vendors. In places such as Park Towers and Dolmen Mall, all famous stores such as Khaadi, Amir Adnan, Sputnik Footwear and English Boot House, all have a presence.
The main shopping places are: Tariq Road, which has clothing shops; Saddar, which has an electronics market; and Boat Basin, which has restaurants.
However, due to increased modernization and awareness, the once-flourishing hawking business has recently seen somewhat of a slowdown in most areas of Karachi, especially in regards to street food vendors.
Karachi has a thriving textiles industry, which is one of, if not the largest in Pakistan. This industry alone covers a vast variety of businesses, from large-scale suppliers that cater to international demand in developed countries, to locally hand-made goods by grassroots vendors.
Most vendors in Karachi are open to bargaining, which is a common sight at most bazaars and among hawkers. As a result, prices of products vary immensely among every vendor, with the exception of upscale high-end shopping malls, which usually have fixed prices. In Karachi, it is also general knowledge to be cautious when bargaining with vendors, especially in bazaars and with hawkers, as they often sell substandard goods at high prices to unaware shoppers. Apparent foreigners, in particular, are often ripped off.
A major contributor to Karachi's wealth in shopping is that most of its residents belong to the middle class and are relatively well-off.
Sports and recreation[edit]
Cricket is the most popular sport in Pakistan. The best cricket academies are found in Karachi, such as Rashid Latif Cricket Academy and Pakistan Cricket Academy.
Meat (mainly beef) plays a dominant role in Karachi food. Curries, pulses like Lentils, called dal, are also very popular. Of all the meats, the most popular are: beef, goat, chicken and seafood. Barbecue food is also extremely popular. Dishes made with rice include pullao and biryani. Different kinds of breads like: Chapati, Naan, Tandoor bread, Paratha and Puri are very popular. Sindhi biryani is also very common in the city.
Karachi is a festive city, and many religious and cultural festivities are observed across the city. Religious events such as Ramadan, Chaand Raat, Eid, Milad un Nabi and Ashura are among the most prominent festivities and are observed passionately with fervor. Shopping reaches its peak during the Eid season, as not only established businesses but vendors from all over the country come to the city to sell their goods to the city's large population, a majority of which is middle class and relatively well-off compared to most other parts of the country. Many rallies and parades are carried out during the events of Milaad un Nabi, Ashura, Jashn-e-Baharan and Nowruz by religious leaders and followers all across the city. Ethnic and religious minorities, like Christians, Hindus, Ismailis etc. also celebrate their events, although not on as large a scale as Islamic events.
Independence Day, which takes place on 14 August, is also a very important event for all Karachiites. A national holiday is commenced all over the country on this date, as homes are decorated with flags and patriotic embellishments, and children sing patriotic songs, known as milli naghmas, to show their love for their nation. The festivity of this day is such that a small cottage industry has emerged in large cities, like Karachi, to supply the decoration demands of Independence Day. And although not as feverish as Independence Day, Defence Day is also passionately observed across the city on 6 September every year. Pakistan Day or Resolution Day is observed on 23 March every year.
The Sindh Cultural Day also gets celebrated in the city in the month of December every year since 2009. People wear traditional Sindhi Topi & Ajrak and gather in different areas of the city where they play songs, dance, attend functions where artists come and perform.
Popular media[edit]
There are numerous channels that have their headquarters in Karachi.
Sindh TV, KTN, Kashish, MEHRAN, AWAZ, Dharti, Ajrak TV, Indus, GEO TV, Dawn, ARY, PTV, Samaa Metro News and Duniya News have their TV stations in Karachi.
Pakistan Radio, FM 89, FM 103, FM 101, FM 96, FM 106.2
Karachi film industry had its golden days in the 1960s when some of the prominent film studios were located in Karachi, making films for the viewership of a large and growing working-class population. With a metropolitan area the film viewership is still popular in Karachi. However, the interest has shifted more towards Hollywood and other international productions. One of the reasons for the shifting trends is attributed to the moving of film-making industry to Lahore, locally termed as Lollywood. There are several hundred cinema theatres in Karachi with releases in Urdu, English, Sindhi, Punjabi, Pashtu, Balochi, etc.
National dress[edit]
The national dress of Karachi is Shalwar Qameez (Urdu: شلوار قمیض ), a traditional dress worn by both women and men in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Shalwar are loose pajama-like trousers. The legs are wide at the top, and narrow at the bottom. The Qameez is a long shirt or tunic. The side seams (known as the chaak) are left open below the waist-line, which gives the wearer greater freedom of movement.
Ethnic communities[edit]
One aspect of Karachi is its dwellers prefer to maintain their basic ethnic identity and lifestyles, and prefer to live together with their respective groups in their respective neighborhoods. For example, Kiamari is known for the Kachchis or Kharadar is for Memons and Agha Khanis, similarly Lyari is known for Baloch and Memons, Nazimabad and Liaquatabad for Muhajirs (Urdu speaking people), and Malir is known for Sindhi. The mentality has been reinforced as a result of serious clashes which have taken place in the recent past among different ethnic groups in this city.
Karachi in popular culture of Sindh[edit]
Karachi has been sung in many Sindhi songs, notably the folk songs sung in Sindhi marriages, called Sehra (سهرا) and Ladda (لاڏا ) such as:
آيلڙي مون ته سُئي وڃائي
ڪراچيءَ جي شهر مان مون سُئي گھُرائي
sung by Zarina Baloch and
ڪراچيءَ جي شهر مان منڊيون جوڙايم
سونا گل ڪراچيءَ جي موٽر ڀرجي آيا
In addition, Karachi is also known for the legend of Morirro Mirbahar, whose braveness has been praised and sung by Shah Abdul Latif Bhitai in his poetry. This legend has also been adapted in a Sindhi movie Ghatoo Ghar na Ayaa (Sindhi: گھاتُو گھر نه آيا ).
Karachi jaa ddeeha' aee' raatioo (Sindhi: ڪراچيءَ جا ڏينهن ۽ راتيون ), Days and Nights of Karachi is a novel written by Muhammad Bux Johar.

Parthenia Parker, b. May 2, 1806 in Wairre, Wayne Co. North Carolina; d. February 17, 1871 in Limestone Co. Alabama.
These individuals are the progenitors of an extensive branch of the Ragle family with many living members. In his Journal, William Henry Ragle, the son of Martin and Parthenia, writes that the parents of Martin were John and Elisabeth [Albert] Ragle, and that Martin was the youngest child of that family. William Henry Ragle also identifies two of Martin's older brothers, Henry and Jacob, and states that Henry raised Martin to a tanner's trade after the death of his father, in the hills of eastern Tennessee. The journal also states that Jacob died in the "Battle of Horseshoe Bend," in 1814, but a military muster record indicates that he survived [at least until the muster was held a few weeks after the battle]. This Jacob is very probably the first husband of Susanna Ritchey Ragle. Susanna next married James Parrott around 1816 and took her five children to southern Indiana before 1821, where Parrott was named the childrens' guardian in an action at Probate Court in Paoli. (See Jacob Ragle and Susanna Ritchey).
A hand-written caption to this picture, written by William Reuben Ragle, says "My grandfather and grandmother Ragle." The picture is from Bill and Ann Ragle, and is evidently a photo of a retouched tintype..note the pen work around the clothing and possibly around MH's hair.

Starring: Tim Thomerson, Helen Hunt, Michael Stefani, Art LaFleur, Telma Hopkins
Written By: Danny Bilson, Paul De Meo Directed By: Charles Band
Here's proof that sometimes, cheap sci fi knock-offs can be quite good.
This isn't just "an 80s flick" because that's when it was made; this is An 80s Flick.
It's also self-aware enough to not take itself too seriously.
Both leads give seriously good performances, though.
Trancers is a super quick flashback to the 80s that's a whole lot of fun.
What Kind Of Cheese Is It?
For Jack from Lost Angeles.
Pairs Well With...
"Last call!"
"Dry hair's for squids! Let's get out of here!"
In 1984, the world was wowed by director James Cameron's instant classic, The Terminator. It didn't take a genius to figure out that roughly a zillion imitators would be following close on its heels.
One of those movies was called Trancers.
The story begins in the 23rd Century. Los Angeles as we know it has sunk into the ocean – the tops of old skyscrapers can still be seen poking out of the water – and is now called Lost Angeles. Patrolling the new city built up on the shore is trooper Jack Deth (Tim Thomerson, Nemesis), and he's on a very personal mission to hunt down Trancers: outwardly ordinary people who have been reduced to a state of zombie-like slavery by the psychic will of a villain named Whistler (Michael Stefani, "Bonanza"), whom Deth believes he killed six months ago.
Too bad he didn't.
The city's ruling council has learned that Whistler instead went "down the line" – back in time through a bizarre form of time travel that allows a person's consciousness to inhabit the body of an ancestor as though it were his or her own. Specifically, he's gone back to 1985, intending to murder the ancestors of the city's ruling council and therefore, by extension, the council members themselves. So far, he's found one out of his three intended victims, and the two remaining LA councilors – not wanting to suddenly disappear from existence as their colleague did – decide to take a radical step to make sure that Whistler doesn't get to strike again. Specifically, they want to send Jack Deth "down the line" and into the mind of his own LA-resident ancestor from 1985, with the mission to hunt down Whistler and send him back "up the line" before the fiend can finish his murderous task…
Sound convoluted? It is. Sound complex? It isn't, chiefly because the screenplay for Trancers makes no real attempt to explain how the time travel process at its core works, or why people have to travel through time by "borrowing" the minds of their ancestors, while guns and wristwatches can be sent along in a small mesh box. It also doesn't concern itself with occasional inconsistencies, like how a tertiary character who later "comes down the line" ends up taking over the body of a child because, the normally adult male character complains, she's the only ancestor he could find, even though he mentions sneaking away from her parents during the course of the very same sentence. At first consideration, this might seem lazy, but in this case, it's brilliant. A lot of stories spend too much time on exposition, but Trancers, already lean and mean at just 76 minutes long, doesn't really have time for that sort of thing if it's going to keep up the pace, and so it trusts the viewers to – gasp! – suspend their disbelief and decide that if the characters accept all of this as real, so can they. Here, despite (or perhaps because of) the weirdness of it all, it works very well.
And that leaves all of the runtime for Trancers to focus on being fun.
Trancers may draw its premise from The Terminator, but the Powers That Be here know better than to try and compete on the same ground, with the result being a flick that knows better than to take itself too seriously. Our hero is an old school noir gumshoe with a modernized case of wiseassery and a devotion to hair gel. He arrives in 1985 to find himself waking up on "the morning after" and having no idea who the woman getting dressed on the other side of the room is. (She's future Oscar winner Helen Hunt, of course, playing a character whose day job is being a shopping mall Elf.) The first zombified Trancer Deth has to kill in 1985 is Santa Claus. The next one he meets tries to kill him with a tanning booth. When he hits a nightclub, he takes "white guys can't dance" to a whole new level. So, too serious? Not a chance.
But that's not to say that Trancers is an all-out joke, either, because it isn't. There's still real drama here. It shows up tangibly when Deth makes the brutally honest admission that he doesn't "even know what you people eat for lunch," an extremely practical time traveler's dilemma that most stories ignore. Tim Thomerson has the presence of mind to deliver the line with a touch of sadness and light desperation, giving his character a full serving of real humanity in the space of single sentence. Meanwhile, Helen Hunt refuses to simply play "the girl," giving her role an added depth that goes beyond the script and which definitely foreshadows the greener pastures upon which she'd play later in her career. And, odd as it may seem at first, the two leads present a chemistry that works, making their adventures that much more enjoyable to watch.
And then it's time for the 1980s to show up!
It is entirely possible that Trancers is more fun now that it was back when it was first released, because the fashion and pop culture of the 80s are poured on super thick, which might have given it an annoyingly cheesy feel back in the day but which now provides for a nostalgically cheesy feel – a very real and very important distinction. The hair, the clothes, the action sequence music that makes it sound like the characters are having chases and shootouts right next door to a rockin' aerobics class with the ghetto blaster turned up… Really, all that's missing here is a cameo by Martha Quinn or another MTV veejay to make the "Totally 80s" atmosphere complete.
As for the rest of the often neon-lit production, sure, the budget's low, even for 1985 (try not to do a triple take when you notice a parking lot – in LA – that charges a whopping $0.50 per hour to park with a $2.00 daily maximum), but the money's very well spent. The effects are decent given the era, the locations look good, and most important of all, as noted, the actors do an outstanding job. Normally, when I see a color era movie that runs under 85 minutes, I start wondering what corners were cut, but in the case of Trancers, everything that needs to be there is. Yeah, it's light on exposition, but it's got fully drawn characters, a plot that takes time to smell a few quick roses instead of just moving in a straight line, and a satisfying story that closes up everything that needs closing.
Bottom line, Trancers is a very cool, surprisingly good movie… reverse grandfather paradox and all. If you find it on a store shelf or in a streaming queue, it's definitely worth a look.

Robert Griffin Iii Hb
Full Product Description
Robert Griffin III exploded onto the NFL scene with a style and flair anything but typical. With a Heisman Trophy on his mantel, RG3 entered professional football in 2012 under a spotlight that glowed beyond his own team, the Washington Redskins. Could the Baylor graduate electrify the NFL as he had the college game? Could he return a fabled franchise to the realm of elite Super Bowl contenders?
Author Ted Kluck deepens the readers connection to a man who became the face of a revered NFL franchise before his twenty-third birthday. One player fueled by infectious enthusiasm for his craft. One man whose authenticity somehow seems to match his otherworldly skills on the gridiron. RG3s focus on victory stood second only to the wisdom of his father: Remember faith first.
Kluck follows RG3s career from the very beginning. In addition, he dives into RG3s relationships with and comparisons to players such as Tim Tebow, Michael Vick, Marcus Lattimore, Kyle Shanahan, Randall Cunningham, Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, and more.
Robert Griffin IIIs story surpasses standings and statistics. Succeeding as a professional athlete is a challenge of the first order. Thriving as a cross-cultural phenomenon is the foundation of legends.
Robert Griffin Iii Hb by Ted Kluck was published by Thomas Nelson in August 2013 and is our 64392nd best seller. The ISBN for Robert Griffin Iii Hb is 9781595555748.

Hey guys!
So, I was to Japan as an exchange student. And wrote diary; approximately three pages every single day. As I think it may be interesting translating the thoughts of an exchange student in Japan, I'm no going to do this.
Some backround information:
I was to Japan from March to July 2015(4 1/2 month). I lived in Chiba with a host family.
I went there with the organization WYS (Word Youth Society).
Here we go.
(The text written in italics are comments, I added in retrospect)
#26 a shopping mall & my Japanese
Real date: April 5th, Sunday
This morning, I got up on time, but as Wakari san is going somewhere (by train) today, she stood up early and was in the bathroom,so I played with the cat a little.
Wakari san ate breakfast. She made none for me but she said that Kouta san will make it. I drank ocha (green tea). Then Kouta san made rice. I asked whether he will make onigiri (rice balls) but he said,we will eat bread. The breakfast ws tomato, cucumber, a piece of sausage, salad, scrumbled eggs. Wakari san ate bread but I ate an onigiri. The ocha is very sweet. I started communicating a bit in Japanese.
I am writing more in my diary than I would have presumed, so in about one month I will need a new diary book.
Kouta san said that he thinks I am bored by just reading all day, so we went to a big shopping mall. There were more than 150 shops. A lot of them selled 'kawaii' (cute) stuff. I also saw pancaked with ice cream. We ate Omuraisu (rice omlette), it was soooo tasty! I did not buy anything. It rained a bit. Kouta san always went behind me (what was a little annoying)
For some reason when I read books is Japanese, my Japanese is not improving at all. I do not understand why.
Now, Kouta san went to the gym and will come back in about two hours, I think.Kouta san returned and we went to the station, where we picked up Wakari san.
This evening, we ate obentos (lunchboxes). I chosed a sushi- obento, but I did not like it that much. After that, I got odango from Kouta san. It were two green, small, tasty balls. Wakari san asked me, which backpack I want to take to school. I do not really understand, but I think, Kouta san and Wakari san said at the dinner table that my Japanese has improved. Wakari san again said that she wants to read my diary.. :/
For tomorrow (my first schoolday) we made a plan when who is going to use the bathroom. I have 15 minutes in the bathroom. Now, we are watching a lended DVD. It is a Korean drama with Japanese subtitles. The subtittles appeared very quickly so I was not really able to read them. I did understand nothing at all ;) But I think, Japanese and Korean culture resemble each other a bit. After about half the film, Kouta chased the cat (for fun).
After I returned from Ginza on friday, I layed on my bed and listend to my music for the first time here. I listened to '900 Meilen' (900 miles) my homesickness- song (although I am not homesick). In Ginza, I also saw a women wearing Decora fashion. It was so cute! I love this Japanese styles!
I hope you liked that post!

Remember last year's horrible snowfalls? Remember the headache it attempted to get anywhere for times after? I really do. What I recall much more strongly however may be the annoyance of the flooded cellar that just arrived whilst the snow melted away and started to back sewers up all around the location. I recall the irritation of attempting to hunt an operating sump pump down. I recall spending for sump pump repair and finding what I believed was one from the buddy. Using the sharp air ultimately creating a return following holidays and a moderate drop I'm attempting to remain extremely conscious of whether I want sump pump fix this season.
After our crisis this past year, (and after popping for that sump pump fix) I went right out and purchased a push for my loved ones and myself. Obviously whilst we were trained by the occasions of this past year that's not really a a hundred percent assurance. Actually the truth that within different additional torrential downpours and the hurricanes we've were able to prevent more flooding appears to be a wonder that is little. Nevertheless, and is a large not managing a sump pump to get a year or even more often means that you don't understand how finished may manage must flooding happen. We might have it – of standing water within the cellar simply to uncover it, base share requires an exhaust fan fix.
With one of these issues in your mind the cooler atmosphere has my push being checked by me on the almost regular schedule. Operating it to make sure that pressure-reducing valves however function and anything else is functional aswell. I've numerous others in 2011 and probable little curiosity about going right through the issues that affected people. Having one of these simple pumps that are useful it'd appear was only area of the fight. Obviously I've obtained safeguards that were additional. I did so what I really could to effortlessly weather-proof the cellar although instances are tight. I ensured gutters and our pipes were totally free from blocking dirt and covered windows. Having said that there's very little wish on my finish that people might proceed dodging bullets permanently. Sooner or later I'll have to push the cellar once more. While that second comes I'll unready I'll experience a significant feeling of self=satisfaction about my basic readiness.
Along with the above mentioned, you will need to purchase enough PVC tube to produce a removal point which operates outside your house. After you have all of the supplies together, adding the sump pump is not rather difficult. First, search the sump hole. This is actually the pit where water may gather. Because this is actually the region the water may normally operate attempt to spot this in the lowest point-of your cellar towards. Place in to the pit, which makes it flush using the surrounding ground location, then close it with cement. Ready your sump pump by placing a little of teflon tape round the posts of the tube connection, then hand-tighten it although that is drying. Location your push over or within the sump hole – while vertical, or stand pumps are positioned above the hole sump pumps are positioned along within the hole – then operate your PVC tube away, and to some area outside your house from the building blocks.

We are living in one of the
most unique regions of the world! Sadly, some of the wonderful attributes
contributing to that uniqueness are also sources of ongoing conflict in the
region. Again this summer Assam is
experiencing eruptions of violent protests with loss of life and property. Last summer the conflicts arose between the
Boro Tribals and Muslims. These past two
weeks the battles have been on several fronts involving several different
people groups.
Here's Some Background -
Strategically situated, this region is known to have been an important physical and cultural bridge between India, East Asia, and Southeast Asia, forging a "complex transition zone of linguistic, racial and religious streams."[1] It has been an area of "civilizational intercourse through history, with the 'indigenous tribes' representing successive waves of immigrants from both East and West."[2]
PEACE TO PREVAIL: that all parties would seek resolution through
non-violent dialogue rather than
the destructive demonstrations.
WISDOM AND DISCERNMENT for all the community & political leaders to be
able to come together to seek a solution
GRACE AND DISCERNMENT for the church leaders of these peoples to be a voice of peace and healing in the midst of the conflict. GOD'S GRACIOUS PROVISION for those experiencing lack &/or travel disruption due to all the blockades.
Thank you for your prayers! If you would like further information please feel free to contact us.

Blazer: From Guangzhou | Striped Top: Mango | Origami Skirt, Striped Wedges: Zara | Bangle: Hermes | Watch: Charriol | Bag: Chanel Jumbo | South Sea Pearl Earrings: Gift from Mom
People who know me personally, know for certain that I am not as serious as I appear (or dress, for that matter). I'd like to think I'm pretty funny actually, in a self-deprecating kind of way (with a sense of humor that's clearly understood by only a few). I'm pretty much your average smart aleck–insert witty banter here, add a dash of acerbic wit, and then finally, pour in a bucket full of irony and voila: me.
But as much as I want to view a few certain aspects of my life as comedy of epic proportions, some parts are a bit too serious for anyone to poke fun of. See, the reality is: it's only funny when I make fun of "me." Well okay, maybe not, I give special consideration to friends and family because I know they're purely jesting, and maybe a few haters who say borderline ridiculous fiction (via JL's ask.fm) because of its sheer entertainment value.
I'm definitely not a "pikon" or "asar talo" person (in english, that means: "huffy" or "touchy" or "overly sensitive"). I can take a joke. I can also take being lambasted online and being insulted behind my back (or upfront). It's a totally different thing however, when some storytellers decide to drag my name just to make a public appeal with their faux real journalism. What's worse, I think, is associating my name to some fallacious and negative insinuations–without asking for my permission at that. I think that, in itself, is a grave offense to humanity, to the law, to the general public's intelligence… take your pick.
I guess some of you may be wondering why I'm rehashing all this. Well, let's just say that a third party has brought something up to our attention–a blessing in disguise, I must say. So just a piece of advice to those who want to play with the "proverbial" fire–there are three sides to every story: yours, mine, and the truth. Know all three by heart, especially the third, just in case you decide that you want to act impulsively because in the end, you don't ever want to get burnt.
This is an outfit I wore to a very important meeting with my FOSSIL (favorite and only soul sister-in-law) Joanna. Because it was a very crucial assembly of sorts, I wanted to dress respectably and elegantly without having to sacrifice my style. Thankfully, the summer 2013 has presented the vertical black and white stripes trend–a look I'm going gaga over. I actually have it in a variety of tops, bottoms, blazers, and shoes! I think there's just something so classy with the said style and it is solely for that reason alone that I decided to capitalize on building an outfit around the two monochromatic colors.
On that note, this is an outfit JL refers to as "prison chic." I refer to her as a "clairvoyant."
So as soon as we wrapped up our discussion, JL and I decided to unwind and head to one of our most favorite places: Paolo's Bootcamp at the Metropolitan Club by Rockwell.
This is where we all go to gym–JL, Enzo, and I. And yes, you silly little people, I pay for my own membership fee at 2,000 a month, and my personal trainer at 700 per session, three times a week. So I'm sorry to burst anyone's bubble but I'm kind of paying for everything in relation to my fitness–except for maybe the occasional pre-workout shakes my boyfriend hands over to me out of the blue.
I used to hate going to the gym. I'm a member of three gyms since I was sixteen and I've hardly ever touched my rights as a member. I also had a lot of misconceptions about fitness. Little did I know that the secret to enjoying your workout is to have a support group that encourages you to do better (and maybe having a fitness guru for a boyfriend).
So I'd liken my fitness history to that basketball ad that goes: "from zero to hero." Back when I was 16 and a member of the Ateneo Track and Field varsity team (for a year, including the time I recuperated for a minor knee injury), I could only lift 20 KG for squats. Not that I couldn't but because I wasn't allowed to bulk up as I was a sprinter. Now at 24, without the burden of training, and finally, with the correct mindset for health, I am so proud to announce that I can do 50 KG squats and 45 KG dead-lifts.
Now, I'm simply addicted to out-doing myself! From 115 LBS last year, I am now a healthy 105 LBS (though depending on my food intake for the day, I waver between 100 – 105).
Before I lift weights, I run half an hour on the treadmill for my weekly cardio. I usually have with me an iPad (that day, I was watching the Devil Wears Prada), my iPhone, a towel, and a water bottle. This water bottle, by the way, is extremely special: it's called the Water Bobble. It is an innovative reusable bottle that further filters water as you drink! On top of its very ergonomic design, it's environmentally friendly! You can grab one within Metro Manila from: Aura Athletica in Bonifacio High Street and Powerplant Mall, Plana Forma at the Fort and Centris, Planet Sports at Powerplant Mall, Shangrila Mall, and Trinoma, Reuse at ATC, Urban Ashram at BGC and Kapitolyo.

* Pesuq DeZimra (Weekday) - R. David Kadoch
* Baby Girl Naming - Lissim - Zeved HaBat
Part 1 of 2Why is it so important to fast on 'Asara BeTebet?
During the Tora reading on fast days, the minhag is that when the reader reaches the Thirteen Attributes of Mercy (Shelosh 'Esr Midot, beginning from "Ado-nai, Ado-nai"), he stops while the congregation says them aloud; he then reads them aloud himself and continues with the rest of the reading.[6] It should be mentioned that this is only done on fast days and not on Shabat Perashat Ki Tisa when the same portion is read. Qadish is not said after this reading, rather the Tora is returned to the hekhal followed by Qadish and the 'Amida.[7]
The Bet Yosef (Siman 46) rules that tefilin must be worn during Minha on fast days since we are lacking in the 100 berakhot that one is required to say everyday due to the fact that we are not eating and miss out on those berakhot. Therefore, the minhag in Morocco developed to wear the talet and tefilin at Minha with a berakha, on all fast days, in order to arrive at these 100 berakhot.[8]

This is so easy, and gooood! Two ways of cooking the hot dogs is presented. Adapted from Easy Entertaining with Michael Chiarello Episode: Little League Tailgate

These hot dogs were fine, but they were not "special." For the extra step, they weren't any tastier than my normal way of preparing.

- Add hot dogs to cold salted water and bring them up to a boil. Turn them off and keep them warm in the hot water.
- Serve warm.
- For an added kick of flavor try splitting the boiled dogs almost all the way in half. Open them up and add to a hot pan which a little olive oil has been added. Cook over medium heat until brown on both sides.

Uganda – Receives another Accolade
Rough Guides picks Uganda as the 4th Best Country to visit in 2017
The Pearl of Africa does it again -Uganda receives another Accolade in 2017 as Rough Guides picks Uganda as the 4th Best Country to visit. This is in addition to Lonely Planet picking Uganda as Best Country to visit in 2012, National Geographic picking Uganda as one of the Best Destinations. This is in addition to the countless write ups, TV reports that highlight the Pearl of Africa – Uganda.
Uganda once again receives an award due to its scenic wonders, primates, rainforest jungles, those such the Rough Guides, Lonely Planet, National Geographic, CNN all recognize that Africa's Pearl is Uganda, that it is a travel destination unlike other East African countries such as Tanzania, Kenya and even Rwanda – the reason is simple, Uganda is Africa condensed into a small country.
It was Rough Guides that picked Uganda as one of the top 10 countries to visit in 2017, it was no Ugandan Government agency such as the Uganda Tourism Board, the Uganda Wildlife Authority, not even the private sector Association of Uganda Tour Operators that caused the pick. It was because of what one discovers on a Safari in Uganda, it is because of Uganda being one of the friendliest nations in all of Africa – it is truly the Pearl of Africa awaiting to be discovered.
Rough Guides picks Uganda as the 4th Best Country to Visit in 2017
4. Uganda
The country's commitment to heavy investment in its tourism infrastructure looks set to change this, though, and in 2017 expect Uganda to vie with Kenya and Tanzania for international visitors, drawing more and more travellers with its astonishing wildlife.
Where else can you canoe past crocodiles on the Nile, track gorillas in dense jungles, soak in hot springs, scale snowy mountain peaks or visit a traditional Batwa village – all within a single day's journey? Only in Uganda.
Rough Guides picks Uganda as the 4th Best Country to Visit in 2017
We as a Ugandan Tour Operator are very grateful that the Pearl of Africa was once again recognized as one of the best Travel Destinations in the world with the likes of India, Scotland, Canada and others, no other East African Country was on the list, the only other African named was Namibia at Number – 9.
Why does Uganda continuously receive accolades from Major Travel Organizations such as Lonely Planet, National Geographic and now Rough Guides – for the same reason that Winston Churchill became enamored with Africa –
"For magnificence, for variety of form and color, for profusion of brilliant life — bird, insect, reptile, beast — for vast scale — Uganda is truly "the Pearl of Africa."
The Kingdom of Uganda is a fairy tale. The scenery is different, the climate is different and most of all, the people are different from anything elsewhere to be seen in the whole range of Africa….what message I bring back….concentrate on Uganda.
Uganda is from end to end a 'beautiful garden' where 'staple food' of the people grows almost without labour. Does it not sound like a paradise on earth? It is the Pearl of Africa." Winston Churchill – My African Journey – 1908.
Uganda is making efforts on its own to get the word out in the US, UK, Europe that indeed Uganda is a choice Safari Destination for the Africa Traveler, to once again make Uganda the premier East African Safari Destination it was, and yes, more and more people are coming to visit the Pearl of Africa on Safari.
2017 – The year for you to Discover Uganda – Rough Guides Choice as one of the best countries to visit in 2017 – we know Uganda since we live and work here…just contact us below.

Les Misérables
Directed by Tom Hooper and shot with ARRICAM 35 mm cameras and ARRI/ZEISS Master Prime lenses by cinematographer Danny Cohen, BSC, LES MISÉRABLES is a stunning new film adaptation of the famous stage musical. Hooper chose to record his actors – among them Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway and Russell Crowe – singing live on set, which presented technical challenges but resulted in performances of breath-taking authenticity and immediacy. The film has been nominated for eight Oscars (Hooper and Cohen are both nominated), and a host of other international awards.

The choice of focal lengths was the biggest advantage. I had access to every conceivable lens size I could possibly want.

Orchids make up the world's most diverse plant family with the number of species estimated to be between 30,000 and 40,000 in over 800 genera. Almost every month new species are found and documented and very often they are found to be a completely new genus.
The largest orchid is generally agreed to be Grammatophyllum speciosum. It can weigh up to 2,000 pounds or 900 kilograms and is reputed to produce up to 10,000 flowers on a mature plant in nature.
The smallest orchid is Platystele jungermannioides which has flowers only half a millimeter or one-hundredth of an inch in diameter. The entire plant is only about a quarter of an inch or half a centimeter tall.
In sheer numbers of orchids sold nothing comes close to the popularity of the Phalaenopsis around the world. More are produced and sold than any other type of orchid. They are used for decorating as a result of the wide variety of colors available and their long flowering -- sometimes staying in bloom for four months.
The tallest freestanding orchid is Sobralia altissima from the high forests of Peru. It is reported to grow up to 44 feet or 13.5 meters high in optimum conditions. The bright reddish-purple flowers are up to 6 inches or 15 centimeters across and are displayed in spectacular groups of up to 8 flowers per stem.
Vanilla seeds and their surrounding pulp within the seed pod of the Vanilla Orchid are used in the food industry as the extremely popular flavoring "vanilla extract." This is one of the very few nondecorative commercial uses for orchids.
Ecuador is home to more species of orchids than any other country in the world.
There is no true black orchid, despite all the Hollywood titles, but orchids do come in every color of the rainbow. But if you are looking for evil orchids see the section "Breaking Bad: When Plants Go Wild" for orchids in literature and science fiction.

Roads and Maritime has delivered a record infrastructure budget this year as we move towards a peak forecast in 2017. The agency is delivering a significant number of major road transport projects and programs across NSW, including the Pacific Highway upgrade, WestConnex, NorthConnex, Western Sydney Infrastructure Plan, Easing Sydney's Congestion and Bridges for the Bush. Major upgrades and improvements are taking place on the Central Coast, Great Western, Newell, New England, Riverina, Silver City and Cobb Highways.
The 17 kilometre Tintenbar to Ewingsdale project, near Byron Bay on the north coast of NSW, is part of the larger Pacific Highway upgrade program. Partially opened to traffic on 18 December 2015 and fully opened in March 2016, the project provides the missing link in the four-lane divided highway between Ballina and the Queensland border.
The upgrade has significantly improved the travel experience for far north coast road users by providing a better highway alignment, improved road safety, uninterrupted highway traffic flow and easy access on and off the highway for local traffic.
The increased speed limit in this section is also reducing travel times for road users. A Regional Traffic Operations Centre manages the operations of the St Helena twin tunnels 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The upgrade has also seen a reduction in the number of traffic incidents in the area. The local Tintenbar fire brigade noted that road incidents during wet weather were a regular occurrence before the upgrade but the fire brigade had not received a single call-out in the six months since the project opened in December 2015.
The flowing alignment, dramatic tunnel entrances and iconic ocean views over Byron Bay make this an enjoyable road to travel.
The $3.1 million upgrade to the Silver City Highway at Shannon's Creek, including a 1.5 kilometre long airstrip to support the Royal Flying Doctor Service base in Broken Hill, was completed in July 2015. The road/airstrip is operational and safe to use 24 hours a day in all weather conditions. It allows residents living on properties in the area who had previously travelled up to two-and-a-half hours to a hospital to receive medical attention faster.
Previously the Royal Flying Doctor Service had to land on unsealed airstrips on isolated properties. The newly sealed stretch of the Silver City Highway provides a safer and more reliable solution.
A major milestone was reached in February 2016, with work starting on the first stage of the highway upgrade at Eurella, as part of a $5.15 million project funded under the Restart NSW Western Freight Productivity Program. The upgrade will seal 10.3 kilometres of highway about 28 kilometres north of Ivanhoe and is expected to be completed in February 2017.
This upgrade will provide significant benefits for road users, helping to improve safety by increasing traction and reducing travel times and wear on vehicles.
Western Sydney's population of three million is expected to grow by 50 per cent by 2031. With Western Sydney being Australia's third largest economy and contributing nearly one third of Sydney's gross regional product, major infrastructure investment that supports regional movement, the expanding economy and sustainable local job creation is paramount.
In response, the Australian and NSW governments are funding the 10 year, $3.6 billion Western Sydney Infrastructure Plan (WSIP) to improve road reliability, capacity and connectivity ahead of future traffic demand. WSIP provides 61 kilometres of new and upgraded roads, of which half are now under construction or at tender.
WSIP roads will form the backbone of an enhanced regional network that supports and enables development of the new Western Sydney airport as well as new employment, priority growth and priority land release areas. Each of these plays a critical role in planned and progressive economic and residential growth.
Work is already underway on the new Werrington Arterial Road and the first stages of The Northern Road upgrade and the Bringelly Road upgrade. The remaining sections of The Northern Road upgrade and the new M12 Motorway are being planned.
WSIP includes a $200 million Local Roads Package that supports the region's councils to deliver critical road improvement projects. To date, local councils have received approval for $94.4 million to address specific local transport issues.
WSIP is expected to create around 4,000 direct and indirect jobs. Local business has benefited from more than $23 million worth of contracts awarded to Western Sydney enterprises.
Working hand-in-hand with the federal and NSW planning agencies, Roads and Maritime is improving connections for people and for commerce. By removing barriers to development, we are enhancing the opportunities for economic growth and the liveability of the region.
Barham Bridge is a key community link between Barham and Koondrook that required extensive maintenance. The maintenance was a large scope of work, which posed significant risks to workers from traffic. However closing the bridge would have had a significant effect on the local community and road users.
The community gave clear feedback that they wanted to find ways to do the work without affecting connectivity between the two towns. Several options were examined and it was concluded that installing a temporary bridge located immediately upstream was the best way to minimise disruption to the communities while eliminating the risk of working near traffic.
Without the temporary bridge, the cost to the community associated with additional travel time and delays was estimated at $6 million including:
The cost of the temporary bridge was $2.3 million and demonstrated a net community benefit with the work completed 12 months earlier, resulting in savings of approximately $1 million and eliminating the risk of maintenance workers working near traffic. The savings come from a more efficient work program, reduced safety risks, less traffic control, and significantly less economic cost to the community through less disruption and delays.
In addition to the economic benefits of installing a temporary bridge, the decision to locate the temporary crossing upstream yielded additional benefits, including:
Most importantly, the temporary bridge allowed the community to carry on as usual, minimising economic impacts and maintaining the close connection between the Barham and Koondrook communities.
Roads and Maritime is the Government client for the WestConnex motorway. In this capacity, Roads and Maritime has entered into a contractual arrangement with Sydney Motorway Corporation to design, build, own and operate the motorway on behalf of the NSW Government.
WestConnex is innovatively financed through partnering with the private sector. Under the current arrangements government is contributing just a third of the total value of the project. The NSW Government's contribution includes $1.8 billion from Restart NSW, with the Australian Government providing $1.5 billion in addition to a concessional loan of up to $2 billion. The NSW Government is currently exploring a range of options to fund the third stage of the project, the M4-M5 Link.
The NorthConnex project commenced in 2015 and will deliver twin nine kilometre tunnels linking the M1 Pacific Motorway at Wahroonga to the Hills M2 Motorway at West Pennant Hills. Tunnelling commenced in March 2016. This major construction project is progressing to schedule and is due to be completed in 2019.
At Roads and Maritime, safety is our priority and defines every activity we undertake. We will work to reduce the road toll, boating fatalities and workplace occurrences. We will ensure our workplaces and networks are safe and healthy for our customers, workers and industry partners.
Roads and Maritime is implementing the Heavy Vehicle Operator Safety Information Program to improve the exchange of information between Roads and Maritime, drivers and heavy vehicle operators, and to assist heavy vehicle operators to better manage their legislative obligations.
Heavy vehicle operators often employ multiple drivers and the existing online Driver Licence Check system only allowed single driver checks. The system was administratively complex resulting in it being underutilised.
Analysis by the NSW Centre for Road Safety suggests that unauthorised drivers are more likely to be involved in fatal road crashes. To address this risk, road transport legislation including the Road Transport Act 2013 and Road Transport (Driver Licensing) Regulation 2008 imposes an obligation on employers to ensure that the drivers employed are properly licensed. Properly licensed drivers are critical to enabling safe transport operations.
The changes to the Heavy Vehicle National Law to be introduced in 2018 will also impose a general duty on all parties in the supply chain and require broad-based safety management systems to ensure transport operators fully comply with the legislation.
To facilitate increased compliance with regulatory requirements, Phase 1 of the program introduced improvements to the Driver Licence Check system. These improvements allow operators to undertake multiple driver licence and demerit points checks efficiently to determine that all their drivers are properly licensed.
Roads and Maritime worked closely with the Office of the NSW Privacy Commissioner to ensure the design of the system accounted for the privacy principles and complied with privacy legislation.
Phase 1 of the Heavy Vehicle Operators Safety Information Program was released on 4 July 2016.
The Safer Roads Program is an important initiative that aims to reduce the number of casualties on NSW roads and reduce the severity of injuries when a crash does occur. This targeted infrastructure program improves the existing road network by implementing low cost engineering treatments and countermeasures at high-risk locations. It also protects vulnerable road users, such as motorcyclists, cyclists and pedestrians.
In 2015-16 a record $66.9 million was allocated to the program and 145 projects were delivered or developed for future delivery. Key projects included:
$1.7 million towards upgrading a 2.9 kilometre section of O'Connell Road north of Oberon
Between July 2008 and June 2013, five crashes involving injuries were recorded at this location due to road users failing to navigate the road correctly. Safety improvements implemented included:
$2.6 million to improve selected curves on Putty Road, Putty
Safety improvements were undertaken on Putty Road, which has a history of motorcycle crashes. Works included widening road shoulders, road resurfacing and improving safety barriers. New signage and line markings were also installed to reduce the risk of crashes at curves.
Safety improvements at Stacey Street and Griffiths Avenue, Bankstown
Between July 2008 and June 2013, 27 right-through crashes occurred at the intersection of Stacey Street and Griffiths Avenue, with 17 crashes resulting in injuries. To combat this problem, the median and right turn bays were closed and traffic was diverted onto an alternate safer route. The intersection of the alternate route at Stacey Street and South Terrace also received safety improvements including linemarking and signage to accommodate for increased traffic volumes from motorists wanting to access Griffiths Avenue.
Stage 1 of the $11 million upgrade of the Riverina Highway, east of Albury
Stage 1, from Sandy Creek to Hume Weir Village, started in October 2015, and involved widening the road, installation of guardrails, providing new and improved signage, improved drainage and a new road surface. Stage 2, from the Hume Weir Village to Bethanga Bridge, is expected to start in late 2016.
Hume Highway and Picton Road intersection traffic lights
In the five years to December 2015, 45 crashes were recorded at this intersection including one fatality and 18 injury crashes. New traffic lights were installed at the interchange in March 2016 to remove confusion about who has right of way.
Roads and Maritime played an integral role in ensuring major events were carried out safely, including:
Roads and Maritime undertook seven statewide safety, education and compliance campaigns under the Operation Boatsafe banner during 2015-16:
There were 11,566 vessel inspections conducted as part of the campaign program, with an additional 5,783 client interactions with Boating Education Officers.
Our role is to evaluate the options available to manage the growing demands for the road and waterway networks and implement solutions to fulfil the needs of our customers. We will engage with customers to understand how to improve the network.
During 2015-16 Roads and Maritime provided $5.9 million to councils and community groups through the Better Boating Program and the Boating Now Program for new and improved boating facilities. Projects completed during the year included:
Roads and Maritime is committed to increasing opportunities available to the public for cycling and walking to create healthy, connected and engaged communities. More than 400 projects were constructed or developed in 2015-16 under the $40 million Active Transport Program. Projects implemented under the program during the year included:
The NSW Grain Harvest Management Scheme (GHMS) and NSW Livestock Loading Scheme were established following consultation with farmers, receivers and local councils to promote safety, improve productivity and protect infrastructure. Both schemes have been very successful with weight and dimension concessions now granted to heavy vehicles transporting agricultural commodities across NSW. Maps showing approved routes are available to all drivers via wireless devices. These initiatives have resulted in fewer vehicle trips, with all vehicle trips now occurring on designated routes. In June 2016 the GHMS was extended for a further five years to 30 June 2021.
Three projects were delivered under the Bus Priority Infrastructure Program, which aims to make bus travel services faster and more reliable. Projects implemented were on Victoria Road at Rydalmere, Wilson Street at Erskineville and Wilson Street at Gladesville. Design work on other projects is continuing.
The Pinch Point program spent more than $59.9 million in 2015-16 in delivering 41 projects and initiatives to address congestion issues and improve the operational efficiency of Sydney's road transport network.
Following the Government's announcement of the reforms to the point-to-point transport sector on 18 December 2015, Roads and Maritime implemented a number of regulatory amendments and streamlined services resulting in improved compliance among rideshare drivers, contributing to the safety of customers and the community:
A strategic priority for Roads and Maritime is to continue to develop as an organisation, to operate in a more efficient and responsive way, and to further develop its employees and systems to add value to the services and major infrastructure projects that the organisation delivers each year.
This program is implementing the transition of Roads and Maritime's customer-facing product and service distribution to Service NSW. Service NSW has been established to provide a one-stop-shop for customers and businesses to interact with all departments and agencies of the NSW Government. As at 30 June 2016, the program successfully:
Country Bridge Solutions is a modular bridge system developed to deliver a simple, economical solution for NSW local government to address the replacement of its ageing timber bridges. Roads and Maritime constructed the first trial bridge at Bookookoorara Creek for Tenterfield Shire Council to test the design and constructability elements of the project. Construction of the three span, 30 metre long, pre-cast, pre-stressed concrete bridge was completed in June 2016.
Roads and Maritime plans to make standard designs and guides for investigation, design, construction and maintenance available to local councils should they wish to consider this as an option to replace their ageing regional bridges.
Litter reduction is one of the NSW Premier's 12 priorities in the NSW State Plan. Roads and Maritime regularly carries out maintenance work including roadside clean-ups during off-peak travel times to reduce the impact on motorists and to ensure the safety of workers. This results in nearly one tonne of rubbish collected each year for every kilometre of the 18,000 kilometre NSW road network.
On 17 June 2016 Roads and Maritime held its inaugural 'Tidy Roads Summit' to initiate and lead a conversation about how government, councils and industry can work together to drive actions that will contribute to the achievement of the Premier's target to reduce the volume of litter by 40 per cent by 2020. The summit identified a series of actions that Roads and Maritime will partner with the Environmental Protection Agency, councils and industry to deliver.
During 2016 Roads and Maritime moved into a new head office at Ennis Road, Milsons Point. The Ennis Road site is located within the road network as part of the Sydney Harbour Bridge precinct. The site was originally a viaduct of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Shortly after the bridge opened in 1932, the viaduct was walled in and a building created. It has served many uses over the decades including as a laboratory for roadwork.
The site was vacant for many years and is now newly refurbished to work as our corporate office, featuring state-of-the-art technology, within a new, more flexible and agile work environment. This new environment focuses on technology as an enabler, supporting a more engaging and collaborative culture, with the physical space facilitating that approach.
Technology is the key. It is simple, wireless and everyone has access to the same technology. There is wi-fi across the building, allowing wireless connections in meeting rooms. This simple, but effective approach is being rolled out across our network, so employees can communicate with other sites using this technology.
By moving into a building already owned by the agency, Roads and Maritime can better utilise our existing space, while also promoting sustainable work practices and meeting the government's commitment for a reduction in Sydney Central Business District leased office space.
Throughout the building, many original features are apparent, including the original blue and clear stained glass windows. The elegant art deco windows are a constant element to all workspaces, accentuated in the design through the white walls and dark grey finish. To the west, the traffic streaming past reminds us of our purpose - we are in our network.
While we have taken the time and care to restore this heritage site, this new facility is also a blueprint for our new approach to working. High quality technology and flexible workspaces provide increased collaboration, supported by on site IT support services.
Roads and Maritime aims to be a high-performing socially and environmentally responsible agency. We have an obligation to deliver infrastructure that is value for money, while minimising our impact on the environment. In 2015-16 we have worked hard to improve the performance of our networks and enhance the economic and social benefits of living in NSW.
The NSW Government provides financial assistance to all councils in NSW for the maintenance of regional roads in recognition of their importance to local communities and businesses. This is carried out through the Regional Road Block Grant program, which Road and Maritime administers. The program is a State contribution towards the maintenance of regional roads, with supplementary funding available for high merit projects from the REPAIR program. Roads and Maritime also administers natural disaster funding on behalf of the Office of Emergency Management to assist councils to restore roads and bridges damaged by declared natural disasters to their pre-disaster condition.
A key commitment under the NSW Road Safety Strategy is to improve Aboriginal road safety through a range of actions that will reduce the risk and severity of crashes faced by Aboriginal people on NSW roads. Under the NSW Aboriginal Road Safety Action Plan 2014-2017 , Roads and Maritime delivers road safety education initiatives to influence behaviour change among Aboriginal people to prevent road crashes and protect themselves, their kin and their community. Some of the initiatives Roads and Maritime conducted during 2015-16 included:
Gerard Dennis was awarded the TAFE Illawarra Transport Student Award and the Nicholas Cowley Prize for Maritime.
Gerard joined the agency as an Aboriginal Maritime Services Trainee in 2014. The two-year traineeship provides employment opportunities for Aboriginal people to gain knowledge, understanding and experience in the boating industry.
The program involves a combination of on the job experience and the completion of Certificates I and II in Transport and Distribution.

While spun glass was never my favorite, this piece is so intricately involved that I had to have it. When I was a kid I used to watch glass blowers in the Hicksille Farmer's Market in Long Island, New York blow glass at their booth. I was fascinated by the process, but never cared for the result. Now they make more beautiful and detailed items. This piece measures 4.25" x 6.5". I do not like to take this piece out of my china cabinet as it is so delicate that little pieces easily break off. Do not know when or where it was made. Pretty sure it is American.

I. Language Arts --- The skills studied in Seventh Grade Language Arts are the skills needed to be effective communicators. Students will communicate through writing paragraphs, summaries, compositions, research papers, and narratives. Students will learn reading strategies that will make them better readers. Students will study several types of literature to understand and interpret the ideas communicated by others through written text.
Besides reading and writing, other skills need to be studied. Students will study vocabulary, grammar, library and research skills, the writing and speech processes, and literary terms. Two text books, Writer's Choice and Glencoe Literature, will be used in class. In addition, supplemental information will be presented throughout the school year.
II. Class Rules -- Students are expected to sit in their assigned seats, raise their hands to respond to a question or ask one, respect their peers and teachers, work on communication arts assignments, and complete homework on time.
In the event I am absent from class, students are to treat the substitute teacher or teacher aide with respect and follow the directions of substitute teachers and aides. I will have consequences and/or submit a discipline referral form to the principal for any student who misbehaves for a substitute teacher. Some examples of misbehavior are talking back or making inappropriate comments, refusing to work on assignments, intentionally not following directions, or causing disruptions in the classroom.
III. Grading -- The grade given for the course will be the average of home/class work, projects, tests, vocab, and quiz grades. Speeches, writing or project assignments often equal a test grade. Students are usually notified in advance the point value of an assignment. In order to avoid a zero, students who have not turned in assignments on time are encouraged to use consultation time until the assignment is complete.
IV. Consultation Time -- Any student who needs additional help may see me during a consultation period from 2:50 to 3:05. I am available most days if a student needs additional help. Students are encouraged to come the day before test for a study session with me.
Any student displaying inappropriate behavior will be required to attend a consultation period for a specified number of days. Students not handing in graded writing assignments may be assigned consultation periods until the assignment is completed. Bus students assigned consultation will be given a day's notice so parents are able to make arrangements for transportation since the buses leave at 2:50. There will be consequences for skipping assigned consultation period.

Guard Shaqquan Aaron has transferred to USC from Louisville, Trojans coach Andy Enfield announced Wednesday.
"We are excited that Shaqquan will join our program," Enfield said in a news release. "Shaqquan's terrific skills will complement our other young players, and we believe he will be a special player during his career at USC."
Aaron must sit out the 2015-16 season because of NCAA transfer rules. He will have three years of eligibility starting in 2016-17.
The 6-foot-7 Aaron was a consensus top-35 recruit last year out of Rainier Beach High in Seattle. He had to sit out the first nine games of his freshman year at Louisville because of an NCAA investigation that determined Aaron's family accepted extra benefits related to housing.
Aaron played in 23 games for Louisville, averaging 1.3 points in 7.2 minutes.
The addition of Aaron gives USC 12 scholarship players, 11 of whom are eligible for the upcoming season.
Scout.com first reported the news of Aaron's transfer last week.

It is important that we gather this information, to inform funding decisions and report on how successfully we're meeting goal 1 of our strategy: "Excellence is thriving and celebrated in the arts, museums and libraries."
How do assessments work?
Assessments are carried out by external assessors. Their role is to experience a piece of work from a funded organisation (for example a show, concert, exhibition or publication) and write a report for the Arts Council assessing the quality of that work.
Assessments cover four areas:
- Work produced by National Portfolio Organisations
- Work programmed by National Portfolio Organisations (i.e. produced by external artist(s) or organisation(s))
- Participatory work by National Portfolio Organisations
- Major Partner Museums
These assessments are shared with the arts organisations and may provide a useful context for their own conversations about quality.
Click below to download further guidance on artistic assessment.
Who are the assessors?
They come from a range of backgrounds: artists, arts managers, journalists, academics, museum specialists and others. You can download their biographies below.
