Seven acrobats push their physical limits without reserve; this performance is simultaneously raw, frantic and delicate. Supported by driving live percussion and presented so intimately that you can feel the heat, hear every breath, and be immersed in every moment.
"Cirque du Soleil with a fistful of grit"
– UK Express
A Simple Space evokes real responses in audiences, something visceral rather than cerebral. Instead of fine-tuning the performance with makeup, lighting and contrived theatrical overlay, the cast have deliberately gone the opposite way. The audience is brought in close to surround the stripped back stage. In that space the acrobats are pushed to the physical limit, breaking down their usual guards and introducing the reality of failure and weakness. With nothing left to hide behind personal narratives come through naturally. This honesty is the essence behind A Simple Space.
"Stripped back and raw… an awe-inspiring display of strength, skill and creativity."
– The Advertiser
"A total triumph"
– The Guardian

I've had a friends with benefits relationship with him for 6 months we really liked each other and got along well for the most part. Last week we stopped talking over a disagreement we had because I felt like I was the only one putting effort in to the friendship. I later apologizeed, but he never responded. Today is my birthday & I haven't heard from him. Even a guy I knew for a shorter amount of time texted me happy birthday. I'm not sad about it or anything, I'm just wondering is this a clear sign that we may not ever talk again and our friendship is over? Please don't tell me to call him because I already did my part & reached out, so that's not happening. Thanks for reading.

Right! And even if I don't have another guy I won't want him anyway. He's a loser.

Appraisals for FHA Single-Family Loans:
Information on Selected Properties in New Jersey and Ohio
RCED-98-145R: Published: May 6, 1998. Publicly Released: May 21, 1998.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-7631
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on the quality of appraisals for the Federal Housing Administration's (FHA) single-family loans, focusing on nine properties--six in New Jersey and three in Ohio--that GAO visited in November 1997 and January 1998, respectively.
GAO noted that: (1) appraisal reports for eight of the nine properties did not reflect conditions GAO observed that could adversely affect the structural soundness and continued marketability of the houses and health safety of the occupants; (2) examples of conditions GAO observed that were not reflected in the reports included termite damage, masonry and foundation damage, makeshift structural supports, rotted siding, and deteriorated roofing shingles; (3) as of February 1998, five of these eight properties had been purchased with FHA-insured mortgages; (4) the ninth property GAO visited did not have any significant visible defects, and the appraisal report accurately reflected the conditions GAO observed at the home; (5) the Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) field offices in Camden, New Jersey, and Cleveland, Ohio, did not adequately monitor the performance of the appraisers for the properties GAO visited; (6) a HUD contractor who performed field reviews of the appraisals for three of the New Jersey homes concluded that the appraisers overlooked serious deficiencies and should have rejected the properties; (7) the Camden office could locate only one of the three field review reports in its files; and (8) the appraiser for two of the Ohio properties had received four unacceptable ratings in field reviews conducted in fiscal year 1997--grounds for possible removal from FHA's roster of appraisers--but the Cleveland office had not taken any disciplinary action against the appraiser.

Brownless: 'A good mate wouldn't do that'
In a candid chat on The Footy Show, Billy Brownless says the affair between Garry Lyon and his ex-wife Nicky was "morally... wrong on all aspects."
Hayne's single-minded determination is what stood out most to the reporter who did the story, Karl Stefanovic, as he spent time with Hayne where he grew up, with family and at the football. It was back in Minto where Hayne explains his inner drive and how sport was the only way he thought he could make a life for himself.
Stefanovic asked: "You were brought up by a single mum in this area, how has it made you the person you are today?"
Hayne: "I wouldn't have been the athlete I am today, I wouldn't have been as good and as talented, if I didn't come through here. I always wanted to get out of the area, you know what I mean, just want to give Mum a house and I think, you know, for me, the only way I could do that was rugby league. So, you know, rugby league, you know, became my everything, it became my oxygen, you know, 'cause I knew I, I didn't, I didn't have anything else."
And then NFL became his everything, but he was overwhelmed by the sport. The opening month was brutal and riddled with self-doubt.
"Man, I think the first four weeks, I remember just coming out of meetings and just saying, 'I don't know if I can do it, mate'," he said. "I'm like, I have literally been here for four weeks doing the same thing and I still cannot get it, you know?"
There is also an insight from Jay Glazer, considered one of the NFL's top analysts. Hayne trained at Glazer's Unbreakable Gym in Los Angeles, an elite training centre.
"It was such an uphill battle when we first met Jarryd because he didn't know the playbook, he didn't know the plays, didn't know the rules. I still think he doesn't know the rules, but that's OK," Glazer said.
The obvious question was asked by Glazer: what position do you want to play?
"Well, that's why I came here to learn from you guys," Hayne replied.
"What, you don't know what position you want to play?"
"No, I can learn that from you guys!"
"OK, well this is a first!"
And this is the exchange between Stefanovic and Hayne when it comes to his future: "Will you come back and play rugby league if it doesn't work out?
"I don't think about that," said Hayne "You know, I'm so focused on plan A I don't have time for plan B.
"How many offers from other NRL clubs have you had since you've been over there?
"Oh, I think my manager has had a heap, you know, and you know obviously he's always you know, you know, 'what do you think?"' Hayne said.
Matildas shocked by absence of doping checks
It's the untold story of the Matildas' triumph on their road to Rio – and it's why they are seeing red despite their success in qualifying.
With the memory of missing out on the Olympics in 2012 fresh in their mind, they made sure their preparation for the qualifying event was as near to perfect as possible. Part of that preparation was making sure none of their rivals was getting an unfair edge.
The last time the Matildas tried to qualify, they had to sit back and watch as North Korea powered past. The women who played in that event were in awe of the extreme power and endurance their rivals had. Before London, several North Korean players were wiped out after testing positive.
There was no move to disqualify the team, much to the disappointment of the Australians. So at the first technical meeting of officials at the event in Japan, the Australian medical team made an inquiry: it wanted to know how the drug testing would work.
It was told there would be none. To say the team officials were surprised is an understatement. Suspicions were heightened and the players were "astounded" that an Olympic qualifying event would be allowed to be free of drug testing.
The players want an explanation as to why such a significant tournament would be allowed to go ahead without the same stringent testing that takes place under the watchful eye of the IOC. The FFA provided this column with the following:
"The Matildas delegation was informed at the Match Coordination Meeting prior to the Olympic qualification tournament opening match in Osaka that there would be no doping control," FFA head of national teams Luke Casserly said. "FFA expected doping protocols, including random post-game testing, to be in place.
"We made inquiries through the Head of our Medical Department to the Asian Football Confederation (AFC). We have since been informed by AFC that the tournament was conducted under the authority of FIFA, who were deemed to be responsible for doping control protocols."
Holland kicks on
Bulldogs hero Kerrod Holland is the one that got away from the Rabbitohs. He was set to join Souths before one of his family friends, Manly football manager Peter Peters, suggested that he take a tour of the facilities at Belmore as the Sea Eagles had no room for him. Holland went and had a look and was snapped up by Des Hasler.
During the week Hasler called Peters. "You've picked the kid," said Peters. Hasler replied: 'Yeah, gee he can kick." Something that we all now know.
Class and courage on Footy Show
AFL's The Footy Show handled the most delicate topic – Garry Lyon's affair with the ex-wife of Billy Brownless – with class and courage. The courage came from Brownless, the class from James Brayshaw and Sam Newman – two of Lyon's and Brownless' best mates and fellow hosts of the show.
Lyon was the main host until the affair became public. Brownless has long been one of the best-loved characters in the AFL – for league fans, he is best likened to a Darryl Brohman. It's hard to see Lyon ever coming back to his old position. The producers of the program did everything right. They didn't hide from the issue, it was tackled head on and from Brownless' point of view it puts the issue to bed. For Lyon, the hard road is still ahead.
Enough's enough, just name a new CEO
Surely when the Australian Rugby League Commission meets this week it will be time to rubber-stamp the new boss of the game. It's been a long and drawn out process.
The leading contender has been Todd Greenberg. If he gets the gig the question needs to be asked why it took so many months to put him in place. And after that there are some more potent questions he needs to answer.
A vote for Chief
The program I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here! is not everyone's favourite but there is an upside. A charity does benefit. Paul Harragon is a chance of winning the whole thing and his charity is the one started by former teammate Mark Hughes. He penned this appeal to vote for his mate The Chief.
"When I came into first grade halfway through '97, I was 20 and Chief was captain. Around three months later I witnessed an amazing leader take us into a grand final victory. Since then Chief has been a great, caring friend and mentor.
"I am blessed to be able to call him a great mate. In August 2013 my life changed forever. I was 36 years old, married with three young children and was diagnosed with high-grade brain cancer. When the chips were down Chief was straight in my corner! He was one of many who drove me to the Central Coast Cancer Centre for radiation treatment as I could not drive.
"We had breakfast a few times and I will never forget his kindness. He listened, he gave advice and motivated me to never give up. He is the most inspiring person I have ever met. Nothing is put on with Chief, what you see of him in the show is real, that is just who he is.
"Words can't describe the feeling I have towards how Chief has represented the foundation in the past six weeks. I am just so proud that he is in there doing his absolute best. It's been awesome seeing some of that old competitive toughness come out in him. I need this support to find a cure to brain cancer. It's personal to me. Too many good people in their prime are dying from this terrible disease."
Keary's options
Luke Keary is sounding out his options, not just in rugby union. Two clubs, the Panthers and the Dragons, are understood to be in his sights. It's unclear at this point if they will want him. It's hard to imagine Keary not finding a home on massive bucks.
Sam tunes in
Sam Burgess' desire to make a go of a media career will have a clearer direction this week. He is due to sit down with Souths boss Shane Richardson to discuss the options he has in front of him. Burgess is after more than just a football-focused media career; he is keen to explore lifestyle and other programs. There is no question with his charm and undeniable presence and maybe with a few hints from his good buddy Russell Crowe, he could make it on the small screen.
It was hard not to be impressed by the decision of the NSWRL to create a training shirt with all the winning Blues captains featured. The talk among the skippers was that Brad Fittler wasn't delighted to assume a position close to the backside. It was hard to tell if Fitter really cared as he is as laid-back a character as they come. Freddie did leave the function early. For the record Fittler is the Blues skipper with the most winning games to his credit – a total of eight. And Blues coach Laurie Daley has won the most series – three in total.

Precious (Push Movie Tie-in Edition)
Precious (Push Movie Tie-in Edition)
By Sapphire
Vintage, Paperback, 9780307474841, 192pp.
Publication Date: October 20, 2009
Includes a Reading Group Guide
Precious Jones, an illiterate sixteen-year-old, has up until now been invisible to the father who rapes her and the mother who batters her and to the authorities who dismiss her as just one more of Harlem's casualties. But when Precious, pregnant with a second child by her father, meets a determined and radical teacher, we follow her on a journey of education and enlightenment as she learns not only how to write about her life, but how to make it truly her own for the first time.
Sapphire's work has appeared in "The New Yorker," "The New York Times Magazine," "The New York Times Book Review," "The Black Scholar," "Spin," and "Bomb." In February of 2007 Arizona State University presented "PUSHing Boundaries, PUSHing Art: A Symposium on the Works of Sapphire." Sapphire's work has been translated into eleven languages and has been adapted for stage in the United States and Europe. "Precious," the film adaption of her novel, recently won the Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Awards in the U.S. dramatic competition at Sundance (2009).
"You feel you've witnessed nothing less than the birth of a soul." —Entertainment Weekly
"Affecting and impassioned. . . . Sails on the strength of pure, stirring feeling." —The New York Times Book Review
"A fascinating novel that may well find a place in the African-American literary canon. . . . With a fresh new voice that echoes the streets, Sapphire's work is sure to win as many hearts as it disturbs minds." —Philadelphia Inquirer
"A horrific, hope-filled story [that is] brilliant, blunt, merciless." —Newsday
"Brutal, redemptive. . . . You just can't take your eyes off Precious Jones." —Newsweek
"A stunningly frank effort that marks the emergence of an immensely promising writer." —Los Angeles Times Book Review
"[Sapphire] writes with a poet's ear for rhythms, in a voice that pushes her story relentlessly into your mind." —Interview
"Push . . . develops so richly and fearlessly that one cannon resist its power." —Elle
"Precious's story, told through her own unique style and spelling, is a major achievement. It documents a remarkable resilience of spirit." —Boston Globe
"To read the story [is] magic. . . . [It is] paint-peelingly profane and thoroughly real." --Washington Post
The gritty realism of the film Precious is even more intense in the novel Push, upon which the film is based. Author Sapphire discusses the inspiration for her work — and her initial reluctance to allow her work to become a film. More at NPR.org

Montgomery McFate
Minerva Chair of the Strategic Research Department at the Naval War College in Providence, Rhode Island
About Montgomery McFate
Montgomery McFate is the Minerva Chair of the Strategic Research
Department at the Naval War College in Providence, Rhode Island. Since
2010, she has contributed to the Center for Naval War Studies' mission
by supporting and developing social science studies that address
national security challenges. Montgomery McFate conducts scholarly
research, reviews other social science research for the Department of
Defense, and is developing a course on culture and national security.
Dr. McFate received her JD from Harvard University Law School, where she served as assistant editor of the Human Rights Journal and received the Everett Fellowship. She also earned a PhD in anthropology from Yale University.
Dr. McFate has authored numerous publications on cultural anthropology and the role of sociocultural knowledge in current and future U.S. military operations. As a social scientist for the U.S. Army, she was instrumental in developing the influential Human Terrain System (HTS) program. She was responsible for briefing national and international military forums, including the Congressional House Armed Services Committee and the British Embassy Defense Staff, on HTS's implementation and effectiveness.
In her free time, Montgomery McFate enjoys skiing, hiking, and scuba diving.
Human Terrain Teams in the US Military
Montgomery McFate currently serves as the Minerva Chair at the Center for Naval Warfare Studies at the US Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island. In the past, Montgomery McFate has served as a senior social scientist with the United States Army's Human Terrain System.
In 2007 the United States Army developed a unique support program known as the Human Terrain System (HTS). Human Terrain Teams (HTT) are composed of military personnel, analysts and social scientists from disciplines such as sociology, political science, regional studies, and anthropology. The role of HTT members is to assist soldiers and military leaders in understanding important cultural factors that can affect how foreigners are received by the local population, otherwise termed as the human terrain. In the same way soldiers are outfitted and mentally prepared for various types of geographical terrains, members of a HTT prepare soldiers for the traditions and behaviors that will influence the success of a mission. The HTS project was first conceptualized in 2005 in response to a clear gap of understanding between military forces and the Iraqi and Afghan cultures. The project was initially given a $20 million budget to be used between 2007 and 2008. Today, HTS is a regular fixture of the US military with a $150 million annual budget.

Moe (taking the idea from Larry) suggested he, Larry, and Curly Joe should search the museum for the missing Velma Dinkley. Before Curly Joe entered, he asked the cigar store Indian outside (who was really Rhino in disguise) if it knew where she was, and it replied that it didn't know, almost blowing Rhino's cover. Curly Joe tried to tell Moe, but he just took him as a fool, pulling him inside, which actually saved him from being harmed by the cigar store Indian's axe.
While inside, they witnessed one of the displays coming to life, and ran out.
- The gunslinger sounded wooden or robotic, so not all of the figures may be made of wax, because none of the Stooges question it. Although this may have been due to fear.
- Billy the Kid is lampooned and depicted as baby.

The College of Idaho's Carter-Chalker Lectureship on Faith and Contemporary Issues is set to host renowned anthropologist Dr. Tanya Marie Luhrmann for an Oct. 27 campus visit and public lecture. Luhrmann's stay will include class visits, a Q & A session and the free public lecture "Hearing God: Why People Experience the Same God Differently in Different Parts of the World," which is set for 7 p.m. in the Langroise Center for Performing and Fine Arts on the C of I campus in Caldwell.
Enjoy the puff, without the harmful stuff. That's how electronic cigarettes have been marketed. But with little research on how e-cigarettes and vaping can affect the human body, questions remain as to how safe this rapidly growing "safer alternative" to smoking really is.
After hearing that traces of heavy metals have been found in the vapor of e-cigarettes, College of Idaho biology professor Dr. Sara Heggland and her INBRE (IDeA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence) lab decided to investigate.
The College of Idaho's yearlong celebration of its 125th anniversary year continues with its publishing of the fall 2015 issue of Quest magazine, which is in mailboxes now. The issue is a special "C of I 125" edition in recognition of the College's 125-year history of excellence.
Jake Shimabukuro has a lot in common with the humble ukulele he plays; both are mixtures of island and outside influences, and combinations of modern and historical traditions. Jake combines the qualities of a long line of virtuoso ukulele players with modern rock musicians to create a sound that's uniquely his own but still firmly grounded in Hawaiian tradition.
Crayfish, crawdad, crawfish, or if in Australia, Yabbie. College of Idaho biology professor Dr. Mark Gunderson doesn't care what you call the lobster-like, freshwater crustacean. For him and his team of INBRE (IDeA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence) lab students, crayfish could be a key model organism used to look at the impacts of environmental contaminants in aquatic systems.
On the day of October 3, 1929, a story appeared in The College of Idaho's Coyote that can only be described as "barberous." The story described the last hair-cutting fracas, an underclassmen battle for supremacy betwixt C of I freshmen and sophomores, to take place on the C of I campus. The fracas had been replaced by the "Ball Rush" that year and for good reason. A harrowing first-hand account of the last fracas follows:
Where have all the planets gone? All planets visible to the unaided eye are up in the morning. Find out why at the Whittenberger Planetarium public show at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 2, on The College of Idaho campus. In addition to learning how to find and recognize them in the morning sky, participants will take a brief, but close look at Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Jupiter. Tickets are $2.50 for children ages 4-17 and $5 for adults.
On a brisk September day, students from Vallivue, Caldwell, COSSA and Canyon Springs high schools descended upon The College of Idaho campus for the Caldwell Youth Forum, a one-day event aimed to provide training on how to make positive changes in their personal lives and high schools.
"We are getting these students to recognize their element of self-worth, who they are, and that they have a voice," said C of I ski coach Ron Bonneau, chairman of the Caldwell Youth Forum.
For nearly 20 years, Professor Joe Golden has helped grow and strengthen The College of Idaho theatre department, using his stage experience and collaborating with Professor Mike Hartwell to help students create professional productions while earning respect and acclaim in the Treasure Valley and beyond.
If you happen to catch the answering machine on College of Idaho alumna Sylvia Hunt's home phone, you might think you've misdialed.
"This is the Caldwell Fine Arts…," the recorded message starts out.
But it's really no surprise. Hunt works tirelessly to promote the fine arts. Starting in 1981, when Hunt took over as executive director from her mentor and celebrated College of Idaho music professor Richard Skyrm, CFA has continued a historic legacy of offering world-class fine arts performances and providing remarkable educational outreach in the local community.

- Start with getting a VPN-enabled router setup
- Next, get a VPN account
- Download and install the VPN software onto your device
- Open the software then connect to a UK-based server
- Connect VPN to VPN-enabled router
- Setup BBC iPlayer account
- Enjoy BBC iPlayer on Apple TV
How to Get BBC iPlayer on Apple TV
in more detail:
NOTE: This guide includes the use of a VPN, so since there are many VPN service providers to choose from out there, I reviewed a bunch of them and decided to use ExpressVPN for this solution. Check out this VPN here:
Let's get one thing straight before I get into this guide: I love my Apple TV. It's my baby, my love, my obsession. OK... maybe I'm exaggerating a bit -- but it's awesome and I use it every day, that's the point I want to make clear!
The main reason I love this glorious little box is because of all the different on-demand media streaming services it supports, and thus all the amazing variety of media I can enjoy on my big home TV.
However, it was not always this beautiful a relationship. When I first got Apple TV, I frantically setup all the services on it I wanted to have access to, which included the epic BBC iPlayer service that offers all the best and latest of British TV shows.
The problem with this was that I am based in the US, so when I attempted to setup BBC iPlayer on my Apple TV, I was swiftly denied access to the service, being shown the following frustrating message:
Yup, I was denied! If I wasn't so darn obsessed with British TV then that would've been the end of this story. However, that's not me. I was determined to figure out why this was happening and to find a solution on how to get BBC iPlayer on Apple TV as securely and effectively as possible. Hence this guide!
Why can't I get BBC iPlayer on Apple TV?
The begin with, my research was focused on why I was unable to get BBC iPlayer on Apple TV, since understanding the reason would help me to the solution.
So after a bit of reading and research, I realised that BBC iPlayer -- as with all commercial on-demand media streaming services -- has to buy licensing rights to offer each and every show they do on the service.
Why do these licensing rights matter? Because these can only be purchased on a per-country basis. This means that if BBC iPlayer wanted to offer say, one of their shows on the service to users in one additional country outside the UK; they would be required to purchased an entire new licensing right on that show; for that specific country.
Thus, when you consider BBC iPlayer to offer every show on the service to one more additional country (like Ireland, for example), then licensing rights would need to be purchased for every show again. Also, if they wanted to offer their service to more than two countries... well, you can see how that adds up to a huge amount of monetary investment.
So BBC iPlayer chooses to only license the shows the offer within the UK -- and thus restrict their service to users located within the UK.
How is BBC iPlayer Blocking Access on my Apple TV?
Now that the why is understood, it's equally as important to understand how, technically-speaking, BBC iPlayer blocks access on Apple TV.
The technical process that BBC iPlayer employs is actually implemented at the service level. What this means is that it is not your Apple TV that is messing up your access to BBC iPlayer, but rather BBC iPlayer that is denying you access because of your location.
So how is BBC iPlayer managing to know your location when you try to access the service?
That is the all important question, and the answer lies in a process the service uses called "geo-blocking". This process works by BBC iPlayer checking the IP address of each and every user that comes to the service instantly, and from each IP address can determine a user's location. If the user's IP address is based in the UK; access is given. If your IP address is based outside the UK; denied.
What this process of geo-blocking used by BBC iPlayer tells us, is that if it's possible to change your IP address when you are located outside the UK (like me, in the US) to a UK-based IP address, then you should technically bypass the geo-blocking and get access to the service, which will allow you to get BBC iPlayer on Apple TV, regardless of where you are located.
Now I happen to know of a few methods for changing your IP address that successfully manage to achieve this. However, for this specific solution I knew that the very best approach is to use what's known as a Virtual Private Network, or VPN.
This software is very simple to setup on your Apple TV, so I will walk you through this setup process now.
How to Use a VPN to Get BBC iPlayer on Apple TV
Step 1: Get a VPN-Enabled Wireless Router
I have used many VPN service providers for various projects, however for this specific solution I decided on ExpressVPN purely because it best suited my budget and requirements at the time. So I will use this VPN as the example for this step-by-step walkthrough.
Using a VPN-enabled router is a great thing to do regardless of this specific guide, since having a VPN-enabled router gives your entire home internet connection a very sophisticated level of privacy-protection and freedom to access blocked content online.
All you have to do is get yourself a router than is VPN enabled (since Apple TV does not support VPN usage), which you can find in any high street electronic store, or order one online in seconds. Here's a good list to start with: click here.
Once your router arrives, all you need to do now is signup for an account with the VPN, which takes just a few moments...
Step 2: Sign up for VPN
Head to ExpressVPN's website, check out the price and plan options, choose the one that suits you best, select a payment method then confirm your account setup.
Here's how the process looks in snapshots to give you an idea of how straightforward it is:
You will confirm your VPN details via email, which will contain a link to the next step: downloading and installing the software onto your device...
Step 3: Download & Install VPN
You will see that there is the option to specifically use ExpressVPN on your Apple TV in the download options, which will give you the specific download link to do that. However, this process means using a Smart DNS, which is effective - but does not give you any privacy-protection at all, which is not what you want:
So go ahead and download the software onto whatever device you use most at home, i.e. for me it's my Macbook and Android smartphone.
The installation process is the same as any software installation you perform on your device, so just click through the steps and you'll be installed.
Step 4: Connect to UK-based Server on VPN
Now that you have both your wireless VPN-enabled router and ExpressVPN software downloaded and installed, you want to connect your VPN to the router, and then you will be able to connect your Apple TV to the router, which will thus have Apple TV VPN connected, like so:
Apple TV >>> VPN >>> Router
This is the only step that requires a little bit specific technical setup. You just need to enter some details into your device to connect it fully to your router. Luckily, ExpressVPN have a very straightforward guide on this that holds your hand right through the process. Check it out here.
As you will see in that guide, you only have to do that setup once, then you're all set. The only piece of info you need to change regularly is to just specify which location you want to connect to the VPN from -- this is the step that changes your IP address to make you "appear" in whichever location you choose on the VPN.
So to get BBC iPlayer on Apple TV, you want to choose a UK-based location to join on your VPN.
Step 5: Setup BBC iPlayer Account
Last step is to -- if you don't already have one setup already -- setup a BBC iPlayer account. If you happened to be visiting the UK and setup your account there, then you will have an account ready, so once you've connected to a UK-based location on your VPN -- congratulations! You can now get BBC iPlayer on Apple TV from your non-UK location.
However if you're like me, then you don't have a BBC iPlayer account. So now that you are connected to a UK-based server through your VPN-enabled router, and have connected to your home internet on your Apple TV, you will now have full access to BBC iPlayer on your Apple TV, which means you can go ahead and signup and enjoy the awesome service!
So there it is. A straightforward, effective, secure and extra-privacy-protecting solution on how to get BBC iPlayer on Apple TV from wherever your non-UK location is.
I mentioned that I personally reviewed a few VPN service providers for this before settling on Express VPN. Thus, to give you some more choices, here are the top five I narrowed down my choice to:
If you followed the steps I laid out in this guide, you will now be happily enjoying BBC iPlayer on your Apple TV. Any questions or feedback on this guide? Don't hesitate to let me know in the comment section below. I'm always happy to hear and help users whenever I can.
Happy iPlaying on your Apple TV!

Ask ten different scrapbookers what they think the best scrapbooking embellishments are, and you'll get ten different sets of answers; it's a highly subjective question.
If you were to ask me what I think the best scrapbooking embellishments are, these are the answers I'd give you.
Clear Scraps Slides:
Clear Scraps slides come in packages of 4, and each one is a different shape and size. These embellishments are made with clear acrylic, and they go with everything. They add visual interest to a project without cluttering it up.
I especially love using Clear Scraps slides on "guy†layouts. My husband isn't all that enthusiastic about seeing ribbon and glitter on his mountain biking pages, but he really likes how the slides accentuate his photos and make them look more interesting.
You can alter the slides in creative waysâ€â€ink or stamp them with Stazon ink, color them with alcohol inks, draw on them with paint markers, emboss them, etc.
Above, I've pictured a few examples of my scrapbooking projects made using these slides. If you'd like to see more information about any of those projects, just click on them.
Where to Buy Clear Scraps Slides:
You can buy clear scraps slides directly from the manufacturer. Your local scrapbook store might also stock them.
Letter Stickers by Reminisce
Reminisce makes a variety of letter stickers, and I've tried a bunch of them. So far, I really like all the ones I've tried, but my favorites are the older block-letter fonts. The fantastic thing about them is that they make the same font in a variety of different colors. This appeals to me because using them throughout an album gives all the album pages a coordinated appearance, yet I can still use different colors that match my photos and papers.
Also, the letters are really sticky. They don't fall off once you stick them down.
Want to see some projects made using Reminisce letter stickers? Take a look at these:
- Camping vacation scrapbook layout
- Zoo scrapbook layout with cheetah
- Zoo scrapbook layout with zebras
- Anniversary scrapbook layout
- At the Doghouse scrapbook layout
- Indie bands scrapbook layout
Thickers Letter Stickers by American Crafts
When I want to add dimension to the cover of a mini album, Thickers are the embellishments I reach for. I occasionally use Thickers on 12×12 pages, but I enjoy them most on album covers– typically, clear album covers or chipboard album covers.
I've already written quite a bit about Thickers, so I'll refrain from rambling on about them again, but they definitely deserve their spot on this list. If you'd like, you can click here to read a product review of Thickers letter stickers.
Where to Buy Thickers Letter Stickers:
Mini Alphabet Stickers by My Little Shoebox
Mini Alphabet Stickers by My Little Shoebox
My Little Shoebox's mini alphabet stickers are a recent addition to my list of best scrapbooking embellishments. I discovered them when Clear Scraps released their keychain mini albums. These little stickers are the perfect size for using with Clear Scraps minis, or for that matter, they're the perfect size for using in any mini album. Their usefulness isn't limited to small projects, however; I've also been using them on 12×12 layouts, as you can see from the photo above.
You can buy these at Scrapbook.com.
Handmade Scrapbooking Embellishments:
It would be a mistake for me to end this list without mentioning handmade embellishments. All the items listed above are embellishments you can buy ready-made. If you really want to make a layout special and meaningful, I think that making your own embellishments is preferable. Now that I think about it, handmade embellishments really should be #1 at the top of the list.
Making Your Own Scrapbook Embellishments:
- How to make paper lace
- How to make paper flowers using rubber stamps
- How to crochet a beaded heart to use as a photo frame (it could also be used as an applique on a handbag, or in zillions of other possible ways.)

You purchased your H2 because its off-road capability and rugged good looks agreed with your nature; so why would you settle for second rate when it comes to the highest quality auto parts? Obviously, you bought your H2 because you wanted to buy flexibility and adventurous drive both rolled up into one automobile. Your Hummer dealership isn't the only place to find genuine or original equipment quality parts to repair your H2. Hummer car, truck, or SUV drivers have come to expect a certain level of military grade design when driving their H2 around town.
A lack of proper lubrication for your internal engine components can result in intense friction and heat and lead to total engine failure. The moments where your engine's main caps meet the crankshaft are where all the friction and heat come from, and that is why your Hummer H2 main bearings are installed there. These main bearings are made from a composite metal called Babbitt (iron, zinc, copper, aluminum, and more), which is just slightly softer than the forged or cast crankshaft and the main caps in your Hummer H2. Most bearings are cast with lubrication channels, so very little friction is created around the engine main bearings and they will last the life of the vehicle.
Get your H2 back on the road with the best replacement parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. When your Hummer requires the best replacement Main Bearing Set, there's no need to trust any store other than the authority, Car Parts Discount. Given all the hassles associated with installing a part to fix your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the number one store you go to make buying it easy. Hummer H2 Main Bearing Set parts for 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003 vehicles are available here... just click your year to find them.
