Foreign Visitors to Nelson Mandela Bay Spent R198.4 Million In 2013
Foreign visitors to Nelson Mandela Bay last year spent R198.4 million, according to a report to be submitted to the Economic Development, Tourism and Agriculture (EDTA) Committee later this week.
This is down on the R209.5 million foreign visitors spent in 2012 and the R267.1 million in 2011.
The report by Nelson Mandela Bay Tourism (NMBT) shows that 225 430 foreign visitors travelled to the metro last year, compared to 190 436 in 2012 and 247 357 in 2011.
The report shows that the number of domestic visitors travelling to the metro, however has increased over the past three years from 6 300 940 in 2011 to 7 053 013 in 2012 and 7 700 000 last year.
Matching that, spending by domestic overnight visitors increased from R1.8 billion in 2011 to just over R2 billion a year later and R2.1 billion last year.
NMBT reports that together with Bay-world and SAMREC it plans to create "a unique penguin experience that highlights the fact that Nelson Mandela Bay is home to the largest breeding colony in the world, adding that the anticipated launch date for the project is December this year.
NMBT says it is also engaging SANParks on working together to promote the metro and especially Addo.
It adds that it is looking at "creating more exposure" for the metro's marine biodiversity and wildlife and will use the information provided by SANParks to develop a marketing message and will also be looking to promote "Big Seven" tours. - MetroMinutes.

Contact Form 7 support
My current client needs me to implement an email form which is also capable of calculating a quote for editing costs. The previous developer on the project implemented a quote calculator that generated a cost based on the number of words in the document and the turnaround time.
I'd like to combine the quote calculator and the contact form I've made using Contact Form 7 by passing the value generated by the quote calculator to a hidden contact form 7 field.
Does anyone know how I can achieve this?
If this is a repeat of an existing post, please forgive me and direct me to the existing post. I've read a number of posts already concerning Contact Form 7 and the dynamic text extension but haven't found a method of achieving this result.

Password not updating properly.Asked by dscar on May 07, 2014 at 09:08 AM
I changed my password but it didn't work. Now when I log in I still have to use my old password. However, when I try to access my setting it ask me to log in again and when I try nothing happens.
It's as if I am caught in a loop some how. My user name is dscar

Hi, I was able to reproduce the problem:
1) I clicked on "Account".
2) Changed the password.
3) Logged out of my account.
4) When trying to log back in, the new password will not be accepted, just the old one.
5) Once I am logged ing, when clicking on "Account" again, it requires me to enter my login credentials, but as you said nothing happens, unless I enter the new password.

Surprise! Jon Lester will start Game 1 for Red Sox
Credit: Herald file photo
When the Red Sox return to the postseason Friday, Jon Lester will throw the first pitch.
In perhaps the season's worst-kept secret, manager John Farrell has named Lester as the Game 1 starter for the best-of-five Division Series, which opens Friday at Fenway Park against the winner of tonight's AL wild-card showdown between the Cleveland Indians and the Tampa Bay Rays. It will mark the third time Lester has started a Division Series opener. He took the ball in the Red Sox' first postseason games in 2008 and 2009.
"He's been outstanding in the second half, and the last eight starts that he's put together for us, he's been very strong," Farrell said. "He'll lead the way for us from a starting (pitching) standpoint."
As expected, John Lackey will start Game 2 on Saturday at Fenway Park, followed by Clay Buchholz in Game 3 and Jake Peavy in Game 4, both on the road.
Lester went 7-2 with a 2.57 ERA in 13 starts after the All-Star break en route to finishing 15-8 with a 3.75 ERA in a career-high 213-1/3 innings overall. Lester was 1-0 with a 3.86 ERA in two starts against the Indians, 2-1 with a 4.32 ERA in four starts against the Rays.
"Jonny Lester's been a horse here all year," Peavy said. "He made every one of his starts. He led this team in innings. He pitched as well as anyone in the second half in baseball, really. He deserves to be the guy going out there."
Said Farrell, "When you look at the year overall, there was probably a six- or seven-start period where he was a little bit less than (average). Other than that, he's had a very strong and productive year for us, and we're hoping that continues throughout October."

Charlotte Businesswoman Pleads Guilty To State Tax Charges
Date: April 4, 2008
RALEIGH – A Charlotte businesswoman pleaded guilty Thursday in Wake County Superior Court to tax charges filed by the North Carolina Department of Revenue.
Heather Askew McFadden, 33, of 12715 Ivey Creek Drive, Charlotte pleaded guilty on April 3, 2008 to two counts of attempting to evade or defeat the North Carolina sales tax.
Wake County Superior Court Judge Carl Fox sentenced McFadden to a 5-month minimum, 6-month maximum prison term. The sentence was suspended and McFadden was placed on supervised probation for 24 months. She was also ordered to perform 100 hours of community service and pay a $2,000 criminal fine. McFadden paid $14,577.76 in restitution to the North Carolina Department of Revenue before her court appearance.
According to evidence presented in court, McFadden owned and operated Azalea Skies Flowers & Gifts, Inc. in Charlotte. She did not report or pay sales tax for the business from October 2004 through June 2006. McFadden used the sales tax money to pay other expenses for the business, which closed in June 2006.
The charges against McFadden resulted from an investigation by the Department's Charlotte Field Examinations Office and a special agent with the Department's Criminal Investigations Division in Raleigh.

Barco Captivates Audience During ?Sharkspeare in the ParkProvides 2K projector for open air Shark Tale movie premiere (October 21, 2004)
Barco Digital Cinema is pleased to announce its recent collaboration with DreamWorks Animation in the highly successful U.S. premiere of their new animated feature Shark Tale in New York City. The invitation-only, outdoor event, dubbed "Sharkspeare in the Park," was held on Monday September 27, 2004 at the Delacorte Theater in New York City's Central Park. For this event, Barco provided its Barco D-Cine Premiere DP 100 2K DLP Cinema technology projector.
Among the 1,800 in attendance were many of the film's all-star cast, including Will Smith, Robert De Niro, Angelina Jolie, Renee Zellweger and Martin Scorsese. The event was also attended by the film's executive producer and co-founder of DreamWorks SKG, Jeffrey Katzenberg as well as all of the film's filmmakers. Released on October 1st, the film has held the #1 spot on the boxoffice charts since its opening and has accumulated over $120 million in domestic boxoffice grosses to date.
The Barco projector was set-up outdoors for the NY premiere, projecting a brilliant 18,000 Cinema lumen image onto a 60' x 33' screen. Barco's DP100 2K projector is based on the latest generation TI m25 DLP Cinema technology, offers 2048 x 1080 display resolution, 18,000 Cinema lumens light output, a minimum contrast ratio of 1700:1 and DLP Cinema, CineBlack, CinePallete, CineCanvas and CineLink image control.
Less than two weeks ago, Barco provided two of its DP100 2K projectors for the movie's successful Venice premiere in the city's famous Piazza San Marco. For this event, the Barco projectors were arranged in a side-by-side configuration, allowing images from each projector to merge into a single, magnificent 36,000 Cinema lumen image. Approximately 6,000 people attended the Venice gala, which included appearances by Will Smith and Robert De Niro, in addition to many other members of Hollywood's elite.
Avica Technology Corporation, a leading provider of technologies and services for Digital Cinema post-production, distribution and exhibition, utilized its Hollywood-approved FilmStore technology to prepare the content for transport and delivery for both the NY and Venice screenings. Avica then deployed its FilmStore Player to manage and screen the movie, including subtitles, in the challenging outdoor environments at the Piazza San Marco and the DelaCorte Theater.
Barco's revolutionary ACSAR2, a powerful, yet user-friendly scaler and router, was used before and after both screenings to display poster projection and show picture-in-picture video of guests as they arrived for the event. The processor is designed to convert any incoming signal to the DVI digital input of the D-Cine Premiere DP100 Digital Projector head.
Barco's proprietary D-Cine Communicator software was also used during set-up and during the screenings to remotely control the projectors. The software offers the operator a comprehensive array of easy to access menu pages, providing full control of the D-Cine Premiere's digital input, output and screen display via a combination of simple buttons and WYSIWYG displays.
"We're proud to have been asked to support DreamWorks with the digital presentations of yet another important production in two such prominent venues," said Nicholas Clay, Avica's Chairman and CEO. "Screening a premiere digitally in technologically difficult circumstances, such as the 45.9' by 84.9' outdoor screen and the dual projectors used in the Venice premiere, shows tremendous faith in the reliability of our system and the process of digital cinema overall."
"We are very pleased to have played an important role in the world's first two outdoor DLP Cinema display events, and we are especially pleased to have supported DreamWorks Animation, which continues to be an important industry partner in major motion picture releases such as 'Shark Tale' at the Venice Film Festival and in New York," stated Scott Spector, Vice President, Barco Digital Cinema America.
Following 10 years of pioneering market development 'Barco Digital Cinema' is one of only three projector manufacturers to be awarded the license for Texas Instruments DLP Cinema display technology. Since its award in 2000, Barco Digital Cinema has developed the industry's widest range of projection solutions for digital cinema including its state-of-the-art 'D-Cine Premiere' 1.3k and 2k projectors, 'Communicator' software control and 'ACSAR' alternative content processors now installed in leading Post facilities and Digital Cinemas worldwide.

How to Write More81 Comments
I remember setting up my first WordPress blog and then sitting back and thinking nervously to myself: this is going to be a lot of work.
It's quite interesting to note that, while many new bloggers have trouble with technical aspects like plugins, getting a blog host, optimizing for Google, and so on, it's actually the practical aspects like finding time to write blog posts that can cause the most stress.
And while I confess to being a big lazy procrastinator, I have managed to find a few little strategies that help me be a more efficient blogger. Actually, maybe the laziness is why I went looking for them!
In today's post I'm going to try and help you figure out how to write more, and discuss why you'd even want to do that in the first place.
I hope it's useful!

Weird issue we have several network printers however one a Konica C550 recently started having a strange issue. When users select it and click on properties the properties box takes several seconds 15-30 seconds to open up. Some users don't have quiet that experience but most if not all experience a delay of at least 5 or so seconds. We have restarted both the print server and the printer it self. Tried deleting the printer along with the driver and then re-add both still same issue. The delay is only on this printer as far as i can tell. My feeling is it is the problem lies somewhere with the print server or network but not sure where to go from here?

GCS Technologies is an IT service provider.
Have you tried installing the printer locally, to not print through the print server, on one of the machines to see if it still does it? That should help eliminate the print server as being the issue. Tried switching driver versions?
Jun 14, 2011 at 11:48 UTC
Yes on both recently installed it locally for a user with latest driver and still experineced the issue so i guess we can eliminate the Print server at this point.
Jun 15, 2011 at 7:20 UTC
Had the same issue. Mine was on an HP4100 though. Turns out I had an unused (but still mapped) LPT port for an old label printer that had long ago died. After removing the map on the port properties came back quicker than ever.
Just before unmapping the port I had updated the print drivers (after adding locally as Gary suggested) so I can't say it was *just* the unmap, but it makes sense.
Jun 21, 2011 at 3:32 UTC
Still an ongoing issue for some not all users. Not a mapped LPT port issue.
Jun 21, 2011 at 3:41 UTC
Well you're not being very helpful are you ;)
Ok bakc to basics.. We've done the drivers right? Did you try printing locally not through the server as Gary suggested?
What about having x user that is having the problem go to y user's machine and print on their PC. That way the new pc will create a new profile for them and we can rule out x user's profile on x pc. It makes me leery that that would solve it as you say it's multiple users but I figure at this point voodoo would be a viable resolution technique..

We've got a Konica CP550, We have a fiery on our printer. We print directly to the printer. I believe they did not recommend using a print server for our printer. We also do something called "print to hold", where the printer holds the job until it is released thru the fiery, which could be another reason to send print jobs directly to the printer.
Properties generally takes 5 - 10 seconds to come up with this printer. I'm wondering if you switched the people who are having the long delays to direct printing if that would help eliminate the issue?
Also, have you tried logging in with your login on the computer(s) that are slow to see if the properties open faster for you? It could be a profile issue.
Aug 3, 2011 at 8:17 UTC
Bob -> Are you using command workstation to interface with the printer? And/or a mac? My graphics department sometimes prints to my DC250 with fiery and CW. Often quite the delay in properties and print to hold dialogues. The problems with Macs are the drivers very very rarely play with will Fiery regardless of the version.
As for a windows talking directly to the 250 (bypassing command workstation all together) mine are often very slow as well. For the 250 at least, I know when it grabs the properties dialogue or even printing, it has to talk to fiery, check the print to hold queue (the bigger the longer it takes), query if any jobs are currently working so it can stick in queue, confirm the right paper is loaded, chose the appropriate driver (PCL or PS) and THEN finally it shows me the print or properties option. Fiery is nice, it is just natively very very slow...
Aug 3, 2011 at 12:29 UTC
Dustin - We use command workstation to release and configure our jobs. Our people send their print jobs "print to hold", then configure their print job from command workstation at a computer near the printer. This computer has command workstation up and running all the time so there is no wait for it to open up. Configuring print jobs with command workstation seems quicker then trying to do it from properties. I believe command workstations has some options that are not in properties.
Aug 3, 2011 at 12:50 UTC
The part about CW having more options is particularily true.. Let me figure out what drivers a few of my boxes are running around here and I'll let you know. I normally don't update them because of the critical nature and I don't have anything to test deploy first... What OS are you running on? Give me 45 minutes or so? I gotta fix the boss's satellite first.. The Stock market is crashing and he wants to watch...
Aug 3, 2011 at 1:10 UTC
Ok.. Because I add it technically from a network share (although RPCClient does the correct translation to make it a printer) I am just using whatever driver is provided to me by the printer. In my particular case it's just DC250 PS with no version number. And since it's provided to me via the printer I can't tell you what the driver version is... My properties box for the printer came up quickly, but when I do it from say a word doc I want to print it does take 5 - 15 seconds.. My guess is it's just gathering all the information... Sorry :(

RFID tagging leads to improved security and productivity in libraries
Intrepid Security
: 11 November, 2008
(Application Story)
2008 has seen a large increase in installations by Intrepid for libraries requiring tagging solutions for improving security with added productivity benefits
Intrepid Security report a significant increase in recent months for 'tagging' based security solutions from both the public and private library market sectors.
Neil Jackson who heads up Intrepid Security's dedicated library division said: "Our sales to libraries have consistently risen year on year but we have seen a particularly sharp increase in business during 2008." Neil does not credit any single reason for the boost to sales although he feels that advances in technology have resulted in anti-theft systems adding value beyond just acting as a deterrent to would be thieves. "The introduction of self-issue machines equipped with RFID technology, for example, offers the potential to make good use of the time available to library personnel."
Neil cites Croydon College as a good example of where the latest technology has made "tagging" a cost effective option. Here, Intrepid Security has installed three Scout hybrid EM/RFID book self-issue units. These form part of the security for the library's books and other media whilst speeding up the checkout process by negating the need to involve the library staff. Students and staff interact with the Scout units and Patron via an intuitive touch screen 15'' display monitor which provides animated instructions.
Thomas Butler, Library Operations Manager at Croydon College said: "The introduction of the Scout units has greatly increased the efficiency of our library, whilst at the same time giving us peace of mind that our stock is being protected from theft."
At Johnson Central Library in Cavan, Ireland, Intrepid Security has installed dual aisle Pent or 3030PL EM (Electro Magnetic) antenna at the library's exit. Constructed in clear Plexiglass and with integrated people counters, the antenna are designed to be aesthetically pleasing whilst deterring and detecting theft. EM security labels, which are discretely located on the library's books, CDs and DVDs, can quickly and easily be deactivated and re-activated by library staff using one of two LCS Pro library circulation units located at the issue desk.
King's Fund library is another Intrepid Security customer that has opted to go for an RFID based system. The King's Fund, an independent charitable foundation, runs the only free, publicly accessible specialist reference library in the country. It offers a comprehensive service to all those involved in health and social care resources. The library, located in London's Cavendish Square, has been equipped with a long range RFID security antenna at each of the two exits, whilst 30,000 RFID paper security labels have been applied to the library's books.
A hand held RFID reader allows library personnel to quickly scan and 'read' item numbers on shelves without the need to physically handle each item. This provides faster inventory processing whilst assisting in the location of specific items as well as identifying misplaced books and journals.
Commenting on the project, Ray Phillips of the King's Fund Information and Library Service said: "The library was moved to a refurbished location in the front of the same building. Though the space is smaller and holds less stock, there was a strong expectation that foot-fall would increase greatly. We therefore wanted a security system which could provide robust security whilst enhancing stock management e.g. allowing us to perform stock checks more easily, analyse usage patterns and create bibliographies for displays. RFID appears to be a technology that is future proof in that it will allow us to exploit future technological developments with ease. For example, we are particularly interested in how we can interact with stock e.g. using hand-held devices to explore the stock."
Neil anticipates that the library market sectors will continue to present major opportunities for specialist installers such as Intrepid Security. "We have invested considerable time and effort to ensure that we totally understand the operation perimeters of libraries and can therefore recommend and implement solutions that are both affordable and effective."

New Study Conflicts – Cardiovascular Benefit with CPAP Use
New findings from the Sleep Apnea Cardiovascular Endpoints (SAVE) study found that after three years of treatment with continuous positive-airway pressure (CPAP), a device used to treat obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), there was no significant reduction in cardiovascular risk in patients who have both OSA and heart disease.
Findings were published in the New England Journal of Medicine, as well as presented at the ESC Congress this year.
Primary investigator in the study, Professor Doug McEvoy, MD, notes that this is surprising given the level of cardiovascular risk that has been associated with OSA in prior observational studies. Dr. McEvoy is from the Adelaide Institute for Sleep Health at Flinders University in Adelaide, Australia.
Participants were gathered from 89 clinical centers in seven countries for the SAVE study. All patients had sleep apnea along with moderate-to-severe disease. Most of the participants were elderly with an average age of 61 years. The majority of them were obese males who snore habitually, and all had cerebrovascular or coronary artery disease.
There were a total of 2717 individuals who participated in the study. Each person was randomized to receive typical care alone or the usual care along with the addition of CPAP. Eligibility was determined by whether the participant complied with a minimum of at least three hours of sham-CPAP use each night for a week before the study began.
Typical care was based on national guidelines for heart risk management, in addition to medical advice on how to improve sleep hygiene and habits, along with changing lifestyle behaviors in order to minimize OSA symptoms.
About 42% of those who were given CPAP adhered to the treatment regimen, using it an average of four or more hours every night. There was a decrease in the mean apnea-hypopnea index to 3.7 from as high as 29.0 events per hour when using CPAP. That indicated good OSA control.
After an average followup time of 3.7 years for 1346 CPAP patients and 1341 typical care patients in the final analysis, there was no difference between the two groups with respect to death from heart disease related causes, stroke or myocardial infarction, and hospitalization due to acute coronary syndrome, transient ischemic attack, or heart failure.
More specifically, about 17% of participants in the CPAP treatment group and 15.4% of those in the typical care group had a serious cardiovascular event.
Dr. McEvoy notes that it is currently unclear as to why the CPAP did not help improve cardiovascular risks and outcomes. It is possible, he says, that even with CPAP adherence at approximately 3.3 hours per night, which was as expected and more than the estimated calculations, there is still insufficient evidence to indicate a true measurement of cardiovascular outcomes in relation to OSA and CPAP use.
Of important note, however, is that CPAP improved quality of life and well-being in the participants, which were defined by less daytime sleepiness, better mood (especially depressive symptoms), and focus or concentration at work.
While the researchers state it is a little disappointing not to find cardiovascular risk reductions with the use of CPAP, the results indicate that using it in OSA patients who also have heart disease provides improvement in symptoms. As with all new findings, further research is necessary to determine how to reduce the risk of heart disease related episodes in people with sleep apnea.
Future trials should be targeted towards patients with OSA and stroke, who can also achieve a high level of adherence to CPAP treatment. This is due in part to the findings in this new study that noted a reduction in cerebrovascular events in participants who used CPAP for more than four hours a night.

The great soviet Fyodor Bogdanovsky graces the cover of the November, 6, 1957 issue of Health and Strength Magazine above. At the time of this publication, the 1957 World Weightlifting Championships were just about to commence in Tehran, Iran. The above shot is actually from the 1955 World Championships held in Munich, Germany where Bogdanovsky finished with the Silver medal behind the America, Pete George in the middle weight class. In Tehran, Bogdanovsky again finished second, this time behind Tommy Kono (it was an epic battle: both lifters finished with an identical 420 kg total with Kono ultimately taking the Gold on bodyweight.)

The Italian strongman "Nino" figured out very early on that making a lift impressive went far beyond mere poundage, "what" was lifted was a big part of it too, and he had a flair for making his feats remarkable productions. Here's a perfect example: Nino as the fulcrum in a carousel consisting of two motor cars. This was the early 1900's so those cars had to weigh a few thousand pounds apiece, and to boot each was also filled with an additional four people. -- I'd certainly pay to see that.

Carl Hempe, of Easton, Pennsylvania, won the Medium class of the 1939 "America's Finest Physique" contest. A year later he competed (but did not place) in the 1940 AAU Mr. America contest. This led to a lifelong interest in physical training, here's Carl training in his back yard with a most excellent "log barbell."

I've shown plenty of shots of the inside of Sig Klein's Gym but here's a rare shot of the exterior. Klein's Gym was located at 717 Seventh Avenue in New York City and was hard to miss with the huge picture of Sig out front. The building is still there, if you know where to look.

Pierre Gasnier was the quintessential Oldtime Strongman: BIlled as the "French Hercules," He performed feats of strength for the Barnum and Bailey circus in the late 1890's: tearing decks of cards, bending horseshoes, breaking chains, and lifting his special "challenge weight" globe dumbbell shown here. The dumbbell had a handle of 2" in diameter and weighs 236 French Livres (which equals 260 pounds) Gasnier weighed only 138 pounds at a height of 5'3" yet was able to lift the weight with ease, a feat that such other noted strongmen such as Sebastian Miller, Hans Beck, and Franz "Cyclops" Bienkowski could not duplicate.

"Victory Goes Over The Bridge!" - That was a favorite saying of the great wrestler Karl Gotch and the above picture shows why. Mr. Gotch has just caught his opponent in his finishing move, "The German Suplex" which is both devastating and near unstoppable, and the only way you can add this move to your repertoire would be to learn to bridge properly: nose to mat. And even if you don't have any interest in stepping in the right, a steady diet of bridge work is still a very good idea to build strength in the upper body and neck areas.

Here's an advertisement for "Professor Anthony Barker's Strength Maker" course featuring Warren Lincoln Travis, circa 1910. ...And does anyone else find it ironic that the headline touts the intelligent use of a barbell though the accompanying picture shows one of the least intelligent ways to do so?

Here's a fellow whose name and exploits seems to have slipped through the cracks of Iron History: Jacques Montane was the Amateur Card Tearing Champion of France in the early 1900's. His bests were 90 cards torn in half, 52 torn in quarters, 40 in eighths and 32 cards in sixteenths.

A shot of a young Doug Hepburn performing what amounts to a "muscle out" with a friend performing a handstand on his outstretched arms. This picture was taken around 1950, then, and for a few years prior, Doug was a lifeguard at Vancouver's famous Kitsilano beach. Doug took take a weight set with him and trained right on the sand -- this was one of the most productive periods of his life.

...But, regardless of their measurement, Sergio's arms are so big that they literally must be seen to be appreciated – and some people, upon first seeing them, are almost unable to believe their eyes; in a recent full-length picture of Sergio, the width of the flexed upper arms exceeded the height of Sergio's head – his arms were literally larger than his head, a size ratio never before approached by anybody else. Is that, then the "ultimate physique?" For most people, it is far beyond the limits imposed by individual potential; but it is almost certain that somebody will eventually exceed even Sergio's present size and proportions. I recently measured the "cold" upper arm of a 19 year old boy in New York at 19 1/2 inches, and with continued training this boy can almost certainly exceed Sergio's measurements – but he is at least six inches taller than Sergio, so even with Sergio's measurements he would not have Sergio's almost unbelievable proportions, would not give the "impression of size" that Sergio does. I am reasonably certain that Sergio could attain even more size with continued training – while maintaining or improving his present degree of muscularity (muscular definition), and if so, then his proportions would be almost unreal. But in the meantime, until he does get larger, or until somebody at least matches his present proportions, Sergio certainly does represent the "ultimate physique."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 8/5/2014 (1200 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I don't like to sleep alone, so I have a bed buddy who comes over and sleeps with me. He's a neighbour's son who has done my yard work the last two years and is a bit too young for me, but we have this unique secret friendship where he and I spoon and sleep together at least once a week. He is 21 and lives in his mom's basement with total freedom to come and go, but they don't know about us. I'm 34 and have my own house.
Last night something happened. We couldn't get to sleep so we turned on a movie on TV. It turned out to be very sexy and we couldn't turn it off. One thing led to another and we ended up making love. It was wonderful. He is the best and most tender and long-lasting lover I've ever experienced, but afterwards he had tears in his eyes. Why? Because he has a girlfriend who lives at her parents' house, and he felt he had cheated on her and would have to confess. I begged him not to, but he insisted. Now I don't know what to do. I feel like a dirty old woman who messed up this sweet man's life. Please help. -- Totally Sorry and Upset, Brandon
Dear Totally Sorry: As long as you two didn't have intercourse, you managed to fool yourselves that you weren't doing anything dishonest with regards to the girlfriend. But, it was a betrayal -- a secret being kept from her when sleeping over wasn't an intimacy she could yet offer. You knew about her before. Why didn't you feel guilty then? Imagine if you were younger, in love with this guy, and in the young woman's position here.
What happened needed to happen. It was past time for both of you to break off this quasi-relationship that was growing more and more intimate. And where were his guilty feelings over his girlfriend before this -- submerged. Both of you must take some responsibility now. You were knowingly borrowing another woman's young boyfriend as a cuddling and sleeping buddy. He was knowingly sneaking to another woman's bed. You chose not to turn off that sexy movie because you were curious to see what effect it would have. It had the desired effect.
You need a grown-up relationship this spring, not a teddy bear. It's time to say goodbye for good to this young guy and let him sort things out with his girlfriend if he can. He needs a girl his own age and you need a spell of real loneliness so you're propelled into the outside world to find new love. Looking for love, sex and companionship takes real effort, and requires real hunger.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I got fat this winter, like a bear preparing to hibernate, but I never stopped stuffing my face and never slept it off. Real bears emerge skinny. I am rotund and scared to get naked with anyone. My greatest companions this winter were stacks of books and my TV schedule. They went well with toasted cheese and bacon sandwiches and ice cream.
I joined a weight-loss program recently, but I'm not going to last and will waste all my money because I am used to eating every 30 minutes. I have a big drawer full of salty snack treats at work and share them with everybody. This makes me popular. When I started the diet I gave all my treats away, and now no one comes to visit me. I'm thinking of buying some more. Help! -- Lonely Bear, Northern Manitoba
Dear Lonely Bear: Meeting friends for lunch and dinner is the Canadian way, and eating through the winter is our national pastime. Here's the recovery method for compulsive snackers: If it's chewing and taste you crave, stock up on different gum flavours -- not too sugary, but not the ones that go flat -- and chew your face off.
As for friendship with your co-workers, you're not the only bulging bear in that office. Make noon-hour and coffee-break dates with friends at work who also need to get the winter fat off. Go walking and talking together. You can still be the hub of activity and friendship at work, and outdoor talks are more private than the ones by your snack drawer in the office.
Please send your questions or comments c/o firstname.lastname@example.com or mail letters to Miss Lonelyhearts c/o Winnipeg Free Press, 1355 Mountain Ave., Winnipeg, MB, R2X 3B6

It's Thanksgiving and you're spending it with your significant other's family. It's your first time meeting them. You're nervous and want to make a good impression. Although you've been grown for a long time, your nerves have you feeling like a lustful teenager meeting the parentals for the first time. Breathe. Exhale. We're going to help you make it through this Thanksgiving with your beau's family without any kerfuffles.
1. Don't Show Up Empty-Handed
Obviously your partner's family will have the Turkey or Ham, dressing, candied yams, macaroni and cheese, cranberry sauce and pies on deck. They're probably not expecting you to bring a dish, but don't show up with just a hug and growling stomach. If you make a mean green bean casserole, bring it! Show up with your favorite wine or champagne. Don't risk getting a side-eye from the matriarch of the family because you showed up empty-handed.
2. Offer to Help
Help with anything. Cleaning greens, running to the store, taking out the trash. Most likely your significant other's family will treat you like a guest. They'll have you relax while they prepare everything. Fine and dandy. Ask anyway. One way to earn a few cool points is to offer to help clean up the kitchen after the feast. Small gestures of a helping hand go a long way.
3. Blend In
Everyone in the family (including grandma and pop-pop) are playing Bowling on the Nintendo Wii. This isn't the time for you to profess how much you loathe video games. Play and have fun. You don't want to be the girlfriend/boyfriend who sat out while the entire family participated in an activity. Not a good look.
4. Be You
It's natural to bring the best representative of yourself in lieu of your totality. Perhaps a little change is necessary, for example if you typically quote hip-hop lyrics in everyday conversation maybe skip quoting Biggie that day. But who knows, maybe his/her Big Mama loves a little hip-hop. Then those lyrics are fair game. Other than minor alterations, it's best to come as yourself. Better for the family to get to know and like the real you versus presenting an image you'll have to keep up in the future.
5. Be Able to Laugh at Yourself
A kid may blurt, "Your hair is weird," in reference to your luxurious 'fro. Laugh it off. Grandma may say, "Boy, take this plate home to put some meat on your bones." Gladly do so. Launching into a righteous spiel about body-shaming with grandma or telling the child it's rude to comment on someone's appearance in that manner isn't worth it. Joke, laugh. And if you're quick witted make a funny, non-offensive comeback. It shows you don't take yourself too seriously.
6. Don't Be In a Hurry to Leave
You know your partner wants to spend time with his or her family. Even if you are bored out of your mind (hopefully you aren't since you're getting to know your significant other's family) don't dare suggest leaving any time before your mate asks, "Are you ready?" Prepare to be there all day and all night. Enjoy yourself.
7. Show Gratitude
This should be a given, after all it is Thanksgiving. Let the family know you're grateful for their invite into their homes. Acknowledging that you appreciate the chance to spend time with them will leave a lasting impression.

- For other uses, see Nilz.
Nilz Baris was a Human male who served as the Undersecretary for Agriculture in the United Federation of Planets' Planetary Development Corps in the 2260s.
In 2267, Baris was assigned to supervise the transfer of a shipment of quadrotriticale from Deep Space Station K-7 to Sherman's Planet. A man named Arne Darvin was assigned to be his aide, but what Baris did not realize was that the original Darvin had been killed by the Klingon Imperial Intelligence agent Gralmek, who then assumed Darvin's identity.
Gralmek attempted to sabotage the shipment of quadrotriticale, however Gralmek was discovered by Doctor Leonard McCoy, and Baris promised Gralmek that he could arrange that the man never saw another tribble ever again. (TOS episode: "The Trouble with Tribbles"; TOS comic: "Beneath the Skin"; DS9 episode: "Trials and Tribble-ations")
Baris was still alive in the 2370s and had several children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren. Among the latter was Karen Farris, who was killed aboard the USS Valiant in 2374. Baris later went to see Dorian Collins, the only Red Squad survivor, soon after. Baris was a writer of holonovels at this time. (DS9 short story: "Dorian's Diary")
Alternate timelineEdit
In an alternate timeline, where Darvin's sabotage was never discovered and the subsequent disaster at Sherman's Planet cost thousands of lives, Baris assumed leadership of the remnants of the human colonies there. He used his considerable expertise in dealing with Klingons (including Darvin, who revealed his true identity to Baris, whom Darvin had grown to respect) to deal with the situation, and eventually became President of the United Federation of Planets. While he had a long and distinguished presidential career and was fondly remembered by the citizens of the Federation (including Leonard McCoy, a lifelong friend), Baris never got over his long-standing feud with Darvin.

AFA Shop Hot
To bring together Japan Pop Culture Lovers from the region.
Singapore, 1 August 2012 – Immerse in the latest trends and content of Japanese anime and popular culture this November, as Anime Festival Asia 2012 (AFA2012) returns to Singapore. Top tier anisong artistes, the latest content and a multi-national team of maids and butlers were among the early highlights announced today, as the festival organisers gave a preview of its three-day extravaganza from 9 to 11 November. Top Japanese record labels and management companies will also set up showcases during the festival, giving visitors a holistic view of the Japanese entertainment industry's latest offerings.
Following Anime Festival Asia's first successful satellite event in Malaysia in June, which saw over 40,000 visitors, another satellite event will be held in Indonesia in September. The satellite events, which focus on content relevant to the local markets, will lead up to the flagship regional festival in Singapore - expected to attract at least 85,000 visitors.
Festival organisers, Dentsu Singapore and SOZO, shared the first round of highlights for the home-grown festival, now in its fifth year. Held at Singapore Expo, AFA2012 expects to attract both local and regional visitors – from anime enthusiasts, music lovers, to anyone who is interested in Japanese popular culture. Signature offerings including its I Love Anisong concerts, maid and butler cafes, and stage activities will continue to wow the crowds with top industry talent and premium content. A new experience zone, the Japan Future Entertainment Zone, will provide a platform for visitors and businesses to come face-to-face with the companies who have nurtured some of Japan's top stars.

Sorely disappointing
I recall when AFA Shop was on the verge of its opening a few years ago. There was so much hype about it all over Facebook - by friends, and by organisers. Then the shop finally opened, and the hype died down to a literally soundless 'oh.' because it was just that disappointing.
Fans of anime are probably expecting a one-stop anime shop for figurines, collectibles and tshirts when they visit the store, however, I would recommend harbouring as little hope as possible when visiting the store, because it is, in essence pretty bare.
The store consists of an extremely limited range of figurines, all of which are exorbitantly priced, and I swear I saw cheaper ones when I visited Hong Kong a while back. Don't get me started on the Tshirts either. The store had promised band shirts and anime printed shirts, that it was personally hard for a fan of Japanese pop and rock like myself to not get my hopes up, but what I found was a few measly racks of shirts like Weaver, and some outrageously hideous anime shirts.
AFA Shop is certainly not what it'd claimed to be, and for fans who are planning a trip down soon, I'd recommend online shopping instead.

Nothing much to do here
I would advise you to manage your expectations before you visit the shop, because this place isn't the mini AFA experience you would wish it to be.
The place is really small, so it doesn't really hold much goods at all. Most of the goodies are based on AFA and its mascot, which isn't really useful when there's no actual convention happening, such as, let's say, the concert t-shirts from last year. Anime merchandise are few and far between, and most of the merchandise I spotted went I went there were of Madoka Magica. Even then, there isn't much Madoka Magica merchandise that is exclusive to the shop, aside from things that they advertise on AFA's facebook page.
Let's not forget that it has irregular opening times from 2 - 8 pm, so it's quite hard to catch it while it's still open, and you would probably have to settle for looking at the glass displays. If you are trying to introduce to your friend what AFA is about, bring them to the actual convention instead. Skip over this.

Unexpectedly plain.
You can buy AFA tickets at the shop and other concert tickets or j-pop/j-rock bands under jliveasia. Other than that, the shop is rather plain and bland. The figurines on display have not changed much since 6 months ago when I visited the shop. They also sell t-shirts which are plain and simple, yet overly priced. Posters in the shop are not updated and the leftover posters of ViViD have not moved much. There are only posters of one band (ViViD) and no posters of other bands. On a plus side, there are iPads on display which shows videos of past bands, featuring some songs of the band.
It really makes me wonder whether or not people bought anything in that shop other than the tickets for upcoming events since most of the things there have been on shelf for quite some time.

"Left feeling distressed and disrespected."
About: Wycombe Hospital Wycombe Hospital High Wycombe HP11 2TT
Posted by Anonymous
Today I had an appointment with a Dr from neurology. Sadly I left the hospital feeling worse than when I went in. The nurse was great, she politely informed me that the Dr was behind and I was in next. It was 20 minutes late but that is short compared to what I'm used to at Wycombe Hospital so didn't think much of it. However when I walked in to see the Dr he was so rude and disrespectful it really shocked me. The first thing he said was "I have seen you before haven't I, you are a lost cause what am I going to do with you"! I didn't know how to react. He wasn't joking, and even if he had been it was completely unprofessional. He hadn't even asked me what was wrong or read my referral. I did say "thank you you are making feel so much better" and got the reply "I'm not trying to make you feel better". Not trying to make me feel better! My family and I have experienced some appalling treatment from Wycombe hospital and Stoke Mandeville recently, but to hear the Dr say that today was enough for me. I will be contacting the Patient Liaison Service about a complaint. However after experiencing this process before I don't hold up much hope of another complaint dealt with internally changing anything for the better. I have a life long medical condition that has been treated in Wycombe Hospital for 27 years. Things have progressively been declining with care in the last 5 to 6 years. Last year however my consultant told me that because so many staff had left it might not be safe for me to continue using the equipment I use to stay alive. I'm still using the equipment and receiving some kind of support, but really do not feel safe in the hands of Buckinghamshire NHS Trust.
Response from Anthony Banton, Patient Experience Manager, Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust 2 years ago

The coaster indeed came from the Convention The design was commisioned by PJSM Prints (which sells a lot of Paul Kidby's Discworld work & signed stuff, etc.) from someone I know on DeviantArt, so I had to endorse it, of course
Oooohh, PM me who! It is adorably and oddly creepy, so much like Nanny, I suspect. Very confused that PK is commissioning other artists, but what a huge compliment!
The Nanny portrait was actually done in ballpoint and watercolours XD I tend to team them up all the time
How big was that portrait? A year ago I still would have said watercolours and ballpoint cannot possibly work, but I learned a lot from looking at work-in-progress photos. Mostly by a certain Twatterby, I admit. Now I'm a BIG fan of the combination. It's amazing.
I'm really pleased you also liked the letter from Drumknott; I sometimes cosplay him. XD
XD Can I tell stories? Please, can I? It would be unseemly for Drumknott to tell them, but I'm not hampered by being Drumknott! *happy dance*
I am hugely excited to watch this swap gallery fill up! I missed being in on this one, and while I'm bummed, I also feel like my head would have exploded if I'd had to think of things to send. To anyone still working on theirs: HURRAY! and other happy cheering-you-on noises! HAVE FUN!

Zach Johnson beats Tiger Woods at NW Mutual World Challenge
Zach Johnson lit Tiger Woods up down the stretch. He buried a drop on No. 18 in some must-see TV.
More Golf: Leaderboard | Rankings | Schedule | Equipment | FedEx Cup
I know it's the first week of December and we aren't exactly in prime golf viewing time but if you missed the final few holes of the Northwestern Mutual World Challenge on Sunday you missed some dramatic golf.
Tiger Woods led by four shots over Zach Johnson after the 10th hole today. And he lost.
Johnson was immense over the last eight holes (plus the lone playoff hole). He birdied Nos. 11, 12, 16, and 17 and cashed in the crazy chip for par you see above on a drop after he dunked one in the water on No. 18.
His reaction was epic:
Johnson told NBC after his round the 18th was almost too much for him to take.
"The next shot was a little bit too dramatic for me. I'm lucky it went in."
This was shortly after hitting one of the worst pressure shots of his life. He had a clear path to the 18th green and hit a complete shank in the water but, as you can see, recovered quite nicely to make par.
Woods had a pretty dramatic 18th as well. He hit it in the sand on his second shot and got up-and-down after watching the Johnson hole-out to send the tournament to a playoff.
Here was his reaction to the madness:
Woods told NBC it didn't really matter what Johnson did on the 72nd hole.
"I thought either way I'm going to have to make four to win the tournament or go to a playoff."
On the playoff hole Woods missed a four-footer after Johnson made par. The putt would have sent the tournament to a second playoff hole.
You'll likely get a lot of "see, this is the new Tiger" stuff over the next few days. But the real story was Johnson.
He was a monster down the stretch.
I thought Shane Bacon of Yahoo put it best on Twitter as the tournament was winding down:
I think I speak for everyone when I say, when Zach J. won the Masters none of us knew he had THESE sized stones. Dude's a killer.
— Shane Bacon (@shanebacon) December 8, 2013
Woods knew it, too.
"I had a two-shot lead starting out the day. Zach, I don't know how the last three iron shots didn't go in the hole. It was pretty impressive on 16, 17, and 18. He got me."
He did get you, Tiger. He got everybody.
And even though this is certainly the silliest time of year for golf we got to see two titans clashing on Sunday afternoon which was an absolute blast.

Interlocking Heart Cake Help, Please!
Decorating By Michele25 Updated 18 Apr 2014 , 12:58am by Michele25
Can anyone help me figure out how to make an interlocking heart cake like the ones in the photos below? I'm usually pretty good with figuring out how to do a template, etc,, but this time I'm stumped. I'm guessing these heart shapes were cut from a sheet cake or other shaped cake, as I don't think there are pans that would make these tapered hearts. I'm stumped also because the shape of the hearts is unique, and not something I can find clipart for so that I can make an accurate template. If I try to just freehand draw these hearts, they won't be even and symmetrical...any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!!!!
It actually looks like it could be from a heart shaped pan which has one side carved in so they fit together. You could just use the curve of the pan to see what to carve out. HTH
AUnfortunately, the problem is that I don't have a pan like this.
Start with two round or square cakes and cut the shape out using a cardboard template.
AWhat she said. Draw one heart, cut it out, flip it over. Done.
They are not "normal" symmetrical heart shapes, though.........the hearts are tapered so they interlock and I'd have to draw it free hand instead of just googling a heart shape.
Howsweet, thank you SO much for providing that template!!! That was so nice of you, and it's just perfect!!!

Many donors say they wish they could do more to help Narrow Ridge. We may be able to work with you to create a gift that maximizes your intentions. Here are some of the ways to make a gift to Narrow Ridge.
Cash or check donation is the simplest form of gift to make. You can either make a one-time donation or give monthly. Gifts can be made by mail by sending them to Narrow Ridge Center, 1936 Liberty Hill Rd, Washburn, TN 37888; or by calling 865-497-3603. You can also donate online.
Securities or stocks held more than one year that have gone up in value make extremely effective gifts. The donor is entitled to deductions for the fair market value of the stock on the date of the gift, plus you pay no tax on the capital gain value of the gift shares.
A bequest is a provision in your will naming Narrow Ridge as a recipient of a part of your estate. It is flexible and easy. A bequest may be for a specific dollar amount, a percentage or fraction of your estate, or it may take the form of a trust. The taxable amount of your estate is reduced by the value of any charitable bequests.
Retirement Funds naming Narrow Ridge as a beneficiary of all or part of an IRA or qualified retirement plan could achieve both estate and income tax savings.
For more information, please contact Mitzi Wood-Von Mizener at Narrow Ridge or call at 865-497-3603.
The information above is intended to provide general information, not legal or tax advice. Narrow Ridge encourages you to consult your lawyer or accountant before entering into any planned giving arrangement. Narrow Ridge Center, Inc. is qualified as a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Contributions are tax-deductible, as allowed by the law.
"The Great Turning is a name for the essential adventure of our time:
the shift from the industrial growth society to a life-sustaining civilization."
–Joanna Macy
Narrow Ridge has a long history of creating worthwhile initiatives that embody its cornerstone values–Sustainability, Community, Spirituality. Examples include protecting 600 acres of rural land, providing a place for spiritual retreat and renewal for visitors and residents alike, establishing the state's first approved natural burial grounds, and building community both among those who come to Narrow Ridge because they believe in its mission as well as with local folk on the relatively remote, north side of Clinch Mountain in Grainger County.
But the main focus for the 25th anniversary campaign is in support of our work in this time of climate crisis with university students and faculty around issues of experiential education that connect the dots between sustainability and social justice (local land use, food, energy, housing, etc.). One of our key programs involves bringing university students to Narrow Ridge for an Earth Literacy immersion experience with the rationale, you can't care about something and advocate on its behalf if you have little first-hand knowledge of it. The world desperately needs young people in this digital, screen-based era of ours with the motivation to balance 24/7 technology and social media overload with re-connecting in a very personal way with our one and only life-sustaining habitat, Earth. Prospects for a peaceable and just future for all Earth's inhabitants depend on nothing less.
The 25th anniversary campaign is your opportunity to share in the work of this "Great Turning" by making a legacy gift to insure more young people can continue to access the Earth Literacy experience at Narrow Ridge. For persons in a financial position to make a legacy gift, we are asking you to consider a gift of $750 or more. In all cases and in recognition that individual circumstances will vary, donations of any size will be greatly appreciated. On-line donations can be made by clicking "Give" at the top of this page and then "Donate", or you can send donations to:

The Michigan State–Notre Dame football rivalry is an American college football rivalry between the Michigan State Spartans and Notre Dame Fighting Irish. The first game between the teams took place in 1897. Notre Dame leads the all-time series 48–29–1.
Beginning in 1949, the teams competed for the Megaphone Trophy, a trophy introduced by the Alumni Clubs of Notre Dame and Michigan State to be presented to the winner of the game.[1] Notre Dame leads the Megaphone Trophy series 34–27–1.[2]
The Notre Dame side of the trophy is blue, while the Michigan State side is green, and the year of the game and teams' respective scores running down the middle. The current trophy is the third trophy as the prior two trophies no longer have space for the respective games to be included.[1]
The rivalry includes several notable games, such as the 1966 game, arguably one of the greatest college football games ever played. Notre Dame currently leads the series. Games played prior to 1949 also appear on the trophy to commemorate the entire series.[3] Michigan State is the current holder of the trophy, with a 36–28 victory on September 17, 2016.
Recent games[edit]
After an 8–0 series run by Notre Dame from 1987 to 1994, tying the series win streak set by Michigan State from 1955 to 1963 (they didn't meet in 1958), Michigan State won five games in a row. Michigan State won 44–41 in double overtime at Notre Dame in 2005. Notre Dame pulled out a thrilling come from behind 40–37 victory in East Lansing in 2006. The trend continued in 2007 for Michigan State under new head coach Mark Dantonio who defeated the Fighting Irish 31–14, recording MSU's sixth straight victory at Notre Dame. On September 20, 2008, MSU defeated Notre Dame 23–7 in East Lansing, ending the series "jinx" of home teams always losing since 2001. Notre Dame returned the favor the following year by defeating MSU at Notre Dame. The 2010 meeting had one of the most exciting finishes to the start of the college football season. A back and forth battle the entire game, Notre Dame took the lead in overtime off of a field goal. After Spartans quarterback Kirk Cousins was sacked on third down, Michigan State lined up for a field goal to tie the game at 31. They faked it, and the holder Aaron Bates tossed a game-winning touchdown pass to Charlie Gantt to win it 34–31 for the Spartans. In 2011, the Irish reclaimed the trophy with a 31–13 victory in which they led all the way.[4] Notre Dame's 17–13 victory in South Bend in 2013 made it three wins in a row for the Irish and was perhaps the most controversial game in memory.[5] The teams renewed the rivalry in 2016, as No. 12 Michigan State reclaimed the trophy by defeating No. 18 Notre Dame in South Bend 36–28.[6]

Arthi's Story
Geekie Guru
Arthi has always considered herself a geek—which meant doing lots of math and studying engineering at one of India's top universities. After she moved to the Chicago area to complete a master's degree, Arthi began working in software development in a few different industries—but she eventually wanted to serve a consumer-based company and knew a few colleagues who recommended Movoto.

What Arthi Does
Solutions Architect
Arthi bridges the gap between the Engineering and Product Teams to make sure all interactions between agents and customers are smooth and supported with valuable tools or information. When she isn't translating project expectations into engineering tasks, Arthi tracks user needs to ensure all back-end processes are adding value—which means she spends lots of time analyzing data and systems.

"We have small wins and small setbacks. I just try to solve as many setbacks as I can to increase the amount of wins—but I choose those based on what will benefit the customer most."
