Two of the country's most senior obstetricians have criticised the Government's health rationing body for misleading women over the risks involved in a caesarean delivery.
Nick Fisk, professor of obstetrics and gynaecology at Queen Charlotte's and Chelsea Hospital in London, believes that there are no grounds for denying women choice over how they deliver their children.
The National Institute for Clinical Excellence (Nice), the Government's health rationing body, recommended last week that women should not be offered a caesarean unless there was a good medical reason for one.
One in five births in the UK is now by caesarean, but only 7 per cent of those happen for non-medical reasons.
Fisk, who is chairman of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists' scientific advisory committee, writes in today's Observer that the safest method of birth is by caesarean. He accuses Nice of misquoting the risks for caesareans and of having 'selectively interpreted' the facts to suit its case.
Fisk also points out that Nice's expert committee was chaired by a GP, had only two obstetricians and received 1,400 critical responses to its initial suggestion that caesareans should be restricted.
In a piece co-written with senior obstetrician Sara Paterson Brown, he states that '92 per cent of women say they want to be delivered by the method that is safest for their baby, and most obstetricians believe this is by caesarean. The risks to the baby of vaginal delivery are arguably greater than of activities society outlaws as dangerous - such as drink-driving, or riding a motorbike without a helmet'. He adds: 'The "too posh to push" jibe belittles a genuine, well-considered choice for many women.'
The Nice guidelines say women should be told that, although they would avoid labour pains and complications such as bladder problems or prolapse of the womb, women who have caesareans are more likely to have a blood clot or need further surgery. They also warn that, with caesareans, they increase the chance of babies having breathing problems.
The National Childbirth Trust wants to see pregnant women being offered birthing coaches on the NHS to help them cope with the ordeal of labour - a move which research shows can reduce the likelihood of a woman having a caesarean by 50 per cent.

Seattle Storm Announces Signing of Angel Robinson
Robinson Comes to Seattle Following Strong Overseas Play
April 1, 2014
SEATTLE - The Seattle Storm today announced the signing of 6-5 forward Angel Robinson. Per team policy, terms of the contract were not disclosed.
We are excited about Angel joining the Storm, said head coach and general manager Brian Agler. She is a very mobile post that has played very well in the EuroLeague and we feel she can contribute. I watched her play over the past three seasons and believe that she can help us both offensively and defensively.
Robinson comes to Seattle after playing for Perfumerias in Spain for two seasons (2012-14), and currently averages 12.2 points and 8.2 rebounds in LFB play and 11.5 points and 10.2 rebounds in EuroLeague competition.
I am very happy that I will be joining the Storm, said Robinson. I sincerely look forward to the opportunity of working with an exciting and reputable WNBA organization. As a team member, I hope to bring the talent and enthusiasm to complement an already well-oiled machine. In addition, I look forward to receiving superb training and mentoring as I progress in my athletic career.
A University of Georgia graduate, Robinson finished her career in Athens at No. 4 in blocked shots and No. 5 in rebounds. She became the programs 31st 1,000-point scorer during the teams win over Georgia Tech on Dec. 6, 2009 and ended her career at No. 25 among Georgias career scoring leaders. The Marietta, Ga. native was named to the 2008-09 All-SEC Second Team by league coaches. She led the SEC in rebounding that same season.
Robinson logged two games in the WNBA with the Washington Mystics during the 2011 preseason.
Seattle hosts Los Angeles in a preseason game on May 11 at 1 p.m. before hosting the Sparks in its home opener on May 16 at 7 p.m. Season ticket packages including exclusive benefits are still available at StormBasketball.com or by calling(206) 217-WNBA (9622).

Ancient oceans may have repeatedly turned deadly to oxygen-dependent life, altering the course of evolution, according to a new study.
Recurring episodes when seawater was depleted of dissolved oxygen may have caused unexplained extinctions in oceans hundreds of millions of years ago, according to the research, published last week in the journal Nature.
The study's first author, Benjamin Gill, took part as a graduatestudent in the laboratory of Timothy Lyons, the second author and aprofessor of biogeochemistry at UC Riverside. Gill is now apostdoctoral researcher at Harvard University.
The extinctions took place during the latter part of the Cambrian period, which lasted from 540 million years ago to 488 million years ago. Species that went extinct then included certain trilobites, shellfishlike creatures famous for their persistence.
Survivors of the Cambrian extinctions included early vertebrates, the class of animals that became modern fish, birds, reptiles, and mammals.
"Extinction gives way to new organisms, so it's all part of the dynamic process," Lyons said. "But I think it's reasonable to say that Cambrian life might have been quite different if the ocean were not what we say it was."
Ancient low-oxygen oceans may provide clues to the evolution of life in modern oceans, Lyons said.
Coastal areas such as parts of the Chesapeake and the Gulf of Mexico have become oxygen-poor. The Gulf of California has suffered episodes of low-oxygen water in areas. The episodes in the gulfs of Mexico and California are linked to fertilizer in irrigation run-off, Lyons said.
Low oxygen is also a concern in the water off the Port of Los Angeles, he said.
Deadly waters
The study said the Cambrian organisms were affected not only by the direct lack of oxygen, but by interrupting the use cycles of other elements important to life, such as iron, phosphorus and nitrogen.
Geologic evidence indicates Earth's oceans originally had very little dissolved oxygen, so the life that flourished there for billions of years didn't depend on it. Around 600 million years ago, oxygen levels increased, roughly coinciding with the first appearance of multicellular life. This was thought to be a one-way process, with oxygen levels steadily increasing.
However, the study said that fossil rocks in the U.S., Sweden and Australia indicate that oceans about 499 million years ago returned to an oxygen-poor state. This took place during the late Cambrian period.
This state, which lasted about 2 million to 4 million years, would have stressed life accustomed to higher levels of oxygen, leading to its extinction, say the scientists. This incident was probably repeated multiple times, helping explain the Cambrian's patterns of extinction and diversification.
More evidence
The research complements another study from Lyon's lab about ocean extinctions.
Published in February 2010 in the journal Science, the study examined the Ediacaran period, from about 635 million years ago to 540 million years ago. That study indicated that a wedge of poisonous sulfur-rich water periodically moved through areas of shallow waters teeming with life.
The same "shoaling" mechanism has been proposed to explain mass extinctions at the end of the Permian period, about 250 million years ago, according to an article that accompanied Gill's paper.
That extinction, the greatest on record, finally did in the hardy trilobites, survivors for 250 million years.

He expressed confidence in the country's ability to achieve a modest growth rate next year.
"If the economic recession in Romania persists, and the economic growth stays flat or -1%, we will not have to take new measures, but if the economic contraction deepens, we will have to make additional cuts in public spending. As far as I am concerned, I think that Romania will see a near-flat economic growth", Vladescu told The Money Channel.
For the first time, he said he hopes to keep his position in the Government after the motion of non-confidence is voted in the Parliament. "It is the first time in my life I dare to say that I hope I will still be here next week tool. And not for my sake", said Vladescu. The minister said that if the public wage cut law would be deemed as a violation of the constitutional law, he would not quit, but seek other solutions to cover the budget deficit.
"Nobody is irreplaceable, and I am very easy to replace, because I am not a political person. I will not resign even if the Constitutional Court decides these laws are not constitutional, but seek new solutions", Vladescu pointed out.
He added that apart from pension and public wage cut, the Government will put in place a set of measures aimed at restoring confidence in the Romanian economy, including a guarantee scheme for European funds, the revision of state aid system, and the possibility to allow guaranteeing of loans taken for the development of structural funds projects.

YANGON, Myanmar, March 30 (UPI) -- Singapore and Myanmar officials have agreed to explore ways to improve air links between their countries to strengthen bilateral relations.
The agreement might manifest itself by increased frequency of flights or a hike in the number of destinations. Singapore Airlines' regional carrier, SilkAir, now flies to Yangon about 10 times a week and Myanmar Airways International makes the trip to Singapore three times weekly.
"SilkAir is interested to grow its destinations in Myanmar," a Singapore official said, and Mandalay "looks the most interesting."
The leaders also discussed political developments in Myanmar, such as the democratization process, Business Times reported.
Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said political developments in Myanmar are "a matter that only the Myanmar people can decide." However, his spokesman added, "In an inter-dependent world, developments in one Asean country could impact on Asean as a whole."
There has been some concern among the international community that Myanmar's chairmanship of Asean next year might put the region under pressure from the United States and the European Union to improve Myanmar's human rights practices.

The grammar, the spelling, the way things are written, are so out there. Then there are the rediculously low rates. The mom with 5 kids under the age of 8 looking for daycare kids...really?????? I would never leave my child with a mom that had 5 of her own under 8 yrs old. You can tell by the ads, that most are "fly by night" daycares where moms lost their jobs and are just trying to earn a few bucks. Caring for a child for $14 per day......just how do they do that? Guess I will not be posting an ad on Craigslist. I have only done it once before a couple years ago, and received no feedback from it, but then, our nearest Craigslist is over 50 miles away. No one from our town looks there for childcare.

Drivers for NEC Superscript 870 Printer
I am still using a NEC Superscript 870 Printer on WinXP. NEC no longer supports this printer. I have searched for Vista drivers which I could try with Windows 7 but have found none. I heard that the HP Laserjet II drivers work for Vista but cannot find them either. Need help!!
Windows 7 is a new operating system (only the beta version) and the whole driverstore are reprogrammed; not all the previous device drivers are compatible with this new system. I suggest that you should wait for another period of time till the retail version is released and push the vendor company to upgrade their device driver. Thanks for your time and understanding!

I just checked and the NEC SS 870 printer is found but placed under "Other devices" in Device Manager. You cannot print to it. It says no drivers have been found, however it is correctly detected as and named "NEC SuperScript 870". I tried to force it to use the WinXP drivers on the WinXP install disk in the i386 folder, it finds them and tries to install. However it always says there was a error.
WORK AROUND. If you go in "Devices and Printers" you will see it under "Unspecified (1)". I tried to force it to use the HP LJIII drivers and they don't appear in the list. HOWEVER if I go in 'Add a printer' and manually set it up, chose printer on LPT port, use driver and look for all updated drivers, select the HP LaserJet III driver, and that creates a printer that Windows 7 will print to and uses the NEC SS 870. It shows up in 'Printers and Faxes (3)' above the real detected printer in "Unspecified (1)" which still doesn't work. Why does add a new printer allow me to search the internet and MS updates for more drivers than when updating drivers for discovered devices? I even have it shared out on the network to a WinXP computer and it works. That was another hassle in sharing between WinXP and Win7.
- Proposed as answer by gts1965 Tuesday, April 12, 2011 2:04 PM
If you are still interested in getting the NEC SuperScript 870 printer working with Win7 I have a work around below.
Other options I might be trying would be hooking it up to my Windows Home Server (it has a LPT) and sharing it out or trying to set it up with a LPT to Ethernet network print server adapter.
1) Anyone yet find a direct driver for the 870?
2) I now have the 870 connected to an XP machine on the network and am copying over and bringing documents up on it to print. Is there a way to connect a networked printer and force (even bring up) the LJ III driver? As far as I see, I can only browse for an .inf file - no manufacturer/model dialog where I could load the other driver by choice.
If the Windows 7 machine is 32 bit and if the print driver is included with the XP OS and you have an XP CD, you can install the print driver using the Have Disk button when using Add Printer to manually assign the printer to LPT1 (or the parallel port you have attached this).
If you machine is 64bit create another printer on the XP machine that uses the III driver and sends data to the same parallel port. If you are connected to the internet on the Windows 7 machine, the Laserejt III driver will be downloaded form Windows Update when creating the connection.
Alan Morris Windows Printing Team; Search the Microsoft Knowledge Base here: http://support.microsoft.com/search/Default.aspx?adv=1
Well, after a LOT of reading and even more mucking around, I finally got this to work for Win7 - 64 bit.
- Windows 7 Ultimate - 64 bit
- TrendNet TE100-P1P Print Server (about $40)
- NTPRINT.INF, PRINTUPG.INF files from WinXP Pro 64bit CD's (credit belongs to another person who posted that there was a 64 bit version of the ss870 printer driver)
- When I first tried to install the driver manually through the Win7 Add Printers wizard, I had permission issues until I logged in as the Administrator. Once I did that, I was able to proceed (by clicking on the Have Disk button and then browsing to where the NTPRINT.INF and PRINTUPG.INF files were located which added the NEC SS870 to the list of printers), but then it started asking for various files from Win2000 CD (/boggle).The manual installation failed on the very last step, but these files may have eventually contributed to my success. Some of them were ncpclres.dll, stdnames.gpd, unidrv.dll, unidrvui.dll, unires.dll, ss870.inf, n870.gpd (the latter two coming from a driver site on the internet). Note that the date on the ss870.inf file was Feb 10, 2000.
- The TrendNet Print Server attaches directly to the back of the NEC SS870 printer. No parallel printer cable required (I'm not going to admit how long it took me to figure out why I couldn't find a Centronix to Centronix cable anywhere!).
- The TrendNet Print Server defaults to an IP address of 192.168.0.1. Many other devices default to this as well. I strongly recommend that you change it or use DHCP.
1) Configure your TrendNet Print Server (IP address, Server Name, Port Name, and update to latest firmware if required).
2) Use the PS Wizard that comes with the TrendNet Print Server CD. I've tried to configure this connection manually on multiple different machines (WinXP, Win7 32 bit, Win7 64bit) with no success. However, the PS Wizard works like magic.
3) The PS Wizard should automatically "discover" the Trend Net Print Server
4) Click on the Add Printer button
5) Click on the Have Disk button
6) Browse to where your files are and select the ss870.inf file.
7) Click the Next button
8) Optionally change the Network Printer Name (this is the name that shows up in your printer list)
9) Click the Next button
10) Click the Print Test Page button and cross your fingers. It worked for me! =)
All due respect to Alan Morris, but this may be a better solution for people as I understand that the LaserJet III printer driver is 300 dpi versus the NEC driver which is 600dpi. Also, a cheap print server on the network is a lot more convenient than having a dedicated computer with a parallel port.
Next is to try Alan Morris' suggestion for Win7 - 32 bit for my other computer (however, using the Minolta Pageworks 8L printer driver which is also 600dpi, but faster than the NEC SS870 printer driver and it worked flawlessly on my WinXP box). Before people get their hopes up, I've looked high and low, but have not found a 64 bit version of the Minolta printer driver.
Best Regards,
This work around (from jgs9455) was really helpful for my windows 7, but I don't have an LPT port. What I used instead was the "virtual USB port" with the HP LJIII driver (which loaded only after I updated the driver list) and now my NEC SS870 is back for hopefully another 10 years of printing. Thanks!
Well, I didn't have an LPT port, but there was the WXP computer with the NEC on it, so I reinstalled it as an HP LJ IIp and now I can connect to it over the network with the W7 machine and the HP drivers load. Had no way to force HP the HP drivers while the NEC was connected to the XP machine as an NEC as the process is automatic - is there a way??? If not, I am still thankful it works!!!
There is a much easier way to install this.
- Win 7 64-bit Home Premium / Ultimate
- TrendNet TE100-P1P Print Server
(If my NEC Superscript 870 was connect via Parallel port, the steps are very similar)
- Click 'Add Printer', on next page, select 'Add a network, wireless or Bluetooth printer', then click 'Next'
- Select 'The printer that I want isn't listed', then click 'Next'
- Select 'Add a printer using TCP/IP address or hostname' since I'm using a Printer Server, then click 'Next'
- On the next page 'Type a printer hostname or IP address'. Select 'Autodetect' for Device Type. Then this part, you'll need to know the IP address that I set up for my printer. And enter a Port Name (can be any name). Be sure to UNSELECT 'Query the printer and automatically select the driver to use'
- Then wait a minute or so for Windows to detect the TCP/IP port
- On next page 'Additional port information required', select Device Type 'Custom', then click 'Next'
- On next page 'Install the printer driver', select 'Windows Update' so Windows can download a more extensive list of printer list, will take a minute or so.
- Now select 'HP' for Manufacturer, then select 'HP LaserJet IIP' for Printers, then click 'Next'
- Then on 'Type a printer name', you can change name back to 'NEC Superscript 870', then click 'Next'
- Next page Printer Sharing, select if you want to share this printer or not, click 'Next', and click 'finish' on next page and DONE!
You, wepabear sir, are a genius. I'd never expected to find such a direct answer to the legacy hardware I had and the new solution I had just by chance purchased--the TE100-P1P print server. Thank you so much.
The maddening thing was that after I followed your step to Windows Update for my drivers, it offered several NEC options at last...but no NEC 870, despite its popularity to this day. Any forum to collectively agitate for a real driver to be added? Also, how did you know to pick that particular HP IIP driver?
Again, thanks for saving me a couple hundred bucks at least, as well as a mountain of pre-purchased toner. So generous of you to offer this.
You are welcome but I cannot take any credit for this as countless others had contributed to this solution.
Using the HP IIP driver was discovered by someone when Vista first showed up. Unfortunately, the HP IIP driver will only print on the NEC 870 using 300dpi, not NEC 870's hardware capable 600dpi.
There is a solution this!! (Tho this require a few extra steps each time you want to print)
If you are running Windows Vista or Windows 7, you can download from microsoft a free program called VirtualPC (an alternative to this is Sun VirtualBox from Sun Microsystem). You can then install WindowsXP (if you happen to have this) onto VirtualPC. Then you'll have to install the appropriate programs that you use plus the correct NEC printer driver. And every time you need to print at 600dpi (the NEC 870's hardware resolution), you'll need to start up VirtualPC, run WinXP, then print using whichever program you have inside WinXP. (For Windows 7, this is the famous XP Mode they were talking about. XP Mode is very handy in situations like this and there are many other benefits as well.)
Requirement: Your computer hardware must be able to do Virtualization in order to take advantage of VirtualPC or any other Virtual Machine programs. You also need to have a Windows XP install disc if you do not have Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate.
I'm beginning to realize this...when I printed a Word document, and especially when I printed an online newspaper article, I had numerous errors with certain characters or entire lines of text. I'm not at home to test my theory now, but it may be that printing at the lower resolution (dpi?) would avoid this. I'm not even sure if there is an option, since I remember being a bit surprised at the lack of fine tuning in the print screen late at night when I finished. Non-native drivers will do that, I suppose. I may try experiment with other substitute drivers (I noticed people mentioning the HP LJIII, for example) if that doesn't work, but hope that enough voices for a real driver will arise.
Hey, it seems to have worked for XP 64-bit, and the NEC 870 was long dead by then. Hope springs eternal. Thanks again for your guidance.
NEC had long stopped supporting this legacy printer. The NEC Superscript 870 came out over 10 years ago. In fact, if you go onto the NEC website, you will see that they no longer make any printers at all.
The fact is that this printer is very dated, the resolution (even if you can print at 600dpi) is far inferior to today's laser printers. The printing speed is a joke especially when there are graphics involved.
As much as I love this printer, I'm only continuing to use this because there is still a lot of toner left and it hasn't died on me yet after all these years! =)
BTW, if you computer can handle it, you should give VirtualPC or VirtualBox a try.
This is an old thread, but people (like me) are obviously still using this printer and looking for this info ... so I thought I would post what I figured out.
I got the NEC SuperScript 870 working perfectly in Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit) with good features
... like (600x600 DPI res. and N-up page printing) ... using only official Microsoft digitally-signed drivers. I'm running mine off a D-Link DP-300u ethernet print server.
a. Open All Programs/Accessories. Right click on "Command Prompt" and select "Run as Administrator"
b. Type the command "printui /ip" . Select Add a TCP/IP Printer
c. Type of Device = TCP/IP Device , Host Name or IP Address and Port Name can both be the same … the IP address of your print server box: 192.168.5.200 (in my example). Unselect Auto Detect. It will still try to detect. A garbage page might print. Power cycle your printer and print server box to reset them and clear buffers.
d. Leave next screen on Standard (Generic Network Card). Leave next screen on "Install a new driver". Click Have Disk and browse your Win-XP Pro (64 BIT) CDROM. Open the f:\AMD64\NTPRINT.INF file. Click OK and the list will refresh to the digitally signed XP-64 bit drivers on the CDROM. Select Nec then SuperScript 870. I unselect "Share" because it's shared through the print server, not Windows. Follow the prompts and it should install.
e. Print Processor is WinPrint/ RAW / Port 9100 (the defaults)
There ... dodged the bullet one more time. Now we can go back to saving our pennies for that new color laser while our existing toner carts. slowly run out.
Edit: I also wanted to mention that the HP-II or HP-IIP (and several other HP drivers I tried)... only printed garbage. Also, if you try do do this without the first Admin elevating step, when you get to the end, the install will fail with an "Access Denied" error message.
More info. on this printer can be found here:

Short story-- you did it! The other suggestions turned out to be close-but-no-cigar solutions that would print out the occasional garbage and nonsense symbols at best. BTW, I'm using a TrendNet TE100-P1P Print Server. I recommend it greatly for both XP and 7, 32 or 64-bit systems.
While I've just gone through this process, I notice it had some quirks, like when I highlighted your response here in this thread and told it to print "selection only," it would print the outlines of the page instead. This may be a problem unrelated to the solution, but this and the fact that there are almost no options to choose from in the printer's properties dialogue box (dpi, envelopes, etc.) may indicate that this is still a stripped-down option with some difficulties and deletions.
Still, not looking a gift horse in the mouth--you rock, and it's so great that everyone is banding together to help solve problems like this. Hmm...so if this solution exists using existing MS drivers, why isn't MS itself presenting this, say, as an install option native to Win 7 perhaps through an update? 'Cause they care so bad it hurts??? Thanks again for sharing!
You are welcome. Glad I could help.
I just tried in on another (Win7-64 fresh install) machine. Looks like the minimal files required from the \AMD64\ folder on the XP-x64 cdrom are NTPRINT.INF, NTPRINT.CAT, and DRIVER.CAB. It worked by clicking "Have Disk" to a folder with only those 3 files in it. It works either way.
I looked at the printer options and config on an old XP-32 install. To me, they look exactly the same. It identified 2mb ram installed in the printer. Envelopes and special paper is there. 600 to 300 dpi is not an option ... it just prints at 600 dpi by default. You can print something in a super small font to verify.
Printing from web pages is always iffy because of possible coding that only applies to printed output. Best just to Copy the text and Paste it into a real app.
Thanks for testing it on your system and network.
I wonder how we change "The Answer" in case people stop reading before they make it all the way down the page?
This thread is VERY timely.
I got a new machine that I'm running Win7 64bit. I too also have an NEC Superscript870 that plane refuses to die! (I even found a 500 sheet paper tray a short while back for only $25 on eBay!) I also have the TrendNet TE100-P1P (wonderful little device).
Anyway, I can follow all the steps that you guys are advising (I had a somewhat similar problem installing the same printer on Vista). However, Win7 is my first 64 bit OS, and I don't have a 64bit install disk to retrieve the older drivers from (NTPRINT.INF, NTPRINT.CAT, and DRIVER.CAB). Is there an available online shared source for these particular files?
I was unable to do this because my system (HP HPE 390t) came with windows 7 pre-installed and I did not receive a CDROM. the files and folders you mention above are not on my system. I searched extensively in administrator mode and could not find them. I found some things with similar names, but none worked. I found several NTPRINT.INF files, and a few NTPRINT.CAT files but no DRIVER.CAB file. Is there anything on the web that I can download? Or can I simply pretend it is some other printer?
The 870 driver files were included in a different operating system version. You would need a CD from an older OS. If that is not available to you, you will have to use a compatible driver.

I finally got the NEC SuperScript 870 working on my Window 7 netbook by using the HP Laserjet III driver. I just added a Laserjet III driver and changed the port to USB because that's how the printer is connected. (My netbook has no LPT port.) Seems rather a rather simple work around. It is suggested by some of the other comments, but not SPECIFICALLY. I vaguely remember that 10 or so years ago when I acquired the NEC that it would respond to the HP Laserjet III commands. I have no idea how much funtionality I have lost with this driver, but then again, it now prints, which is a lot more funcitonality than it had before.
You guys think too much!! Just use the HP Universal Print Driver for all NEC printers. Works great for Win 7 32 and 64. Yes, you will get that weird
"Unspecified" device on your printes list. Just ignore and manually install a local printer using the USB port. Easy Peasy!

Yes, I tried that. I'm pretty sure selecting a printer like HP LaserJet III is provided via the Microsoft provided HP Universal Printer Driver. For me, it never printed correctly. It might be because I'm using a print server. However, most people are these days (especially with this printer) because no computers have parallel ports any more.
Can't use USB because this printer only has a parallel port.
Thank you so much for taking the time to post this. I have literaly sent 6 hours trying to get this printer to work and after following your directions it worked perfectly. I owe you big time! Thanks
You are welcome. Glad to hear it worked.
I installed it again the other day after I fresh installed Win-7 Pro (64 bit) on my laptop. Those 3 files are indeed the only ones required (checked it again).
To those of you that are requesting copies of those 3 files. Sorry, but since they are part of Win-XP Pro 64-bit, I can't re-distribute them. Microsoft would have to release them or give us permission to do so. I think if Microsoft was able to do either, Alan Morris would have mentioned it in his 2010 post above.
If you can't do it my way ... be sure to try using the native HP Laserjet III driver. Myself (and others) couldn't get that driver to work properly (randomly prints extra garbage characters), but it sounds like it does work for some people.
Just wanted to add my two cents on using NEC SS 870 printer on Windows10. I was successful in getting this printer to work on Windows7 by using the HP Laserjet IIIP driver. I took the same approach to get it to print from Windows10. Here are the steps I followed...
1. Plugged in via usb an old HP5MP laser printer. Did a successful manual installation but the printer would not print a test page.
2. After trying several different usb to parallel cables (some worked in Windows7, some didn't) I found that Windows10 had auto-detected the printer and installed it. Printer name: HP Laserjet 5P/5MP Postscript, and Port: USB002 Virtual Port. I was able to print from Windows10 to this legacy printer without any problems. I could remotely detect it and print to it from a second computer running Windows7 Home.
3. Next I unplugged the 5MP and plugged in the NEC SS 870. I did a manual install but it wouldn't print the test page, however I did identify the driver to use as HP Laserjet IIIP.
4. I then edited the HP5MP printer and switched its driver to the HP Laserjet IIIP under the Advanced option. With this change the NEC SS 870 printed without any complaints. Oddly enough I found that Windows10 had renamed this to the newly selected driver (HP Laserjet IIIP). There's an option elsewhere to rename the printer, which I will do later calling it NEC SS 870.
So the success continues in using old parallel laser printers with Windows10. The key was to have Windows10 auto-detect a second printer and to then edit that second printer to adapt it to work with the 870. Hope my success continues and hope that this info helps others who have older printers that they want to use on Windows10.

I made this micro-island from plastic, sand, rocks and seashells and I put on it various insects. A photo studio for these tiny "models". Is very comfortable to shoot on this island, I can rotate it for good angle. This video show the moment when I put a can full of caterpillars over the spider, a really assault from the sky :) Around the island is water, as you can see the caterpillars can swim but the spider was keept at place to do the web. I have another video with the spider and the web. The female spiders from photos bellow got babies on this island :) Her body is so big because she was pregnant.

It's finally out! Stealing the Diamond is in the portal! If you don't know it's the sequel to Escaping the Prison. Go play it! Let me know what you think, what your favorite fail was, what your favorite ending was etc!
Some fun facts:
I spent 200.5 hours working on this game (That about 8 days).
I started working on it on October 11th.
Ok these aren't actually that FUN of facts. But still,

Where are you? You're on a jetpack with the stickman your stickman could fail like. What's in your hand? Back at me. I have it. It's teleporter. Look again. The teleporter is now DIAMONDS.
Anything is possible when your stickman is named Henry.
I'm on a scooter.
HAhaha that's awesome!
2011-07-08 18:12:24
Nice! Will there be NG medals?
Yeah they just need to be approved.
2011-07-08 18:12:51
Coincidentally, this came out about 18 hours ago:
http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view /574171
Yeah I saw that. That's pretty weird.
2011-07-08 19:13:19
[S] Thief: Enter
[=>]Henry: Retrieve arms from safe
2011-07-08 19:27:19
this isn't on the front yet!
Hah, it's not even out of under judgement yet.
2011-07-08 22:09:34
You are the THIEF OF FAIL in the LAND OF GUARDS AND DIAMONDS.
What will you do?
2011-07-09 00:46:17
I cant wait for the medals to come out, how long will it take?
Don't ask me. I'm hoping within a few days. It's all up to the mods.
2011-07-09 10:06:05
I love how you added every reference possible, even a second Neverhood reference! You were even able to go heavy on the memes and not get hated for it. Too bad you only got daily 2nd, this deserved 1st. Well, there's always weekly right?
Haha, I put that Neverhood reference in for you ;) Yeah, I'm not too disappointed about the 2nd. I just had some back luck with my submission timing. Yeah, here's hoping for weekly!
2011-07-09 10:55:15
Its currently has a higher score than the thing that beat it for daily 1st :-/
Yup, it did about 2 hours after the day had ended. Plus the other one had a nice front page boost to help it.
2011-07-09 10:56:47
It's a shame every Flash comes out of judgment with a low score and doesn't get a high one until it's recognized. You may not have gotten the Daily Feature, but even with that, you should have no problem getting Weekly 1st. I'm telling you, this will still be wonderfully received!
Congratulations on a job well done, and good luck on whatever you're planning next.
Also, this isn't exactly relevant, but it seems like a lot of continuations to Flash series have come out recently, almost all at once. Madness Combat 10, Real Legend of Zelda 4, The Legend of David 5, Salad Fingers 9, Bunnykill 5 Part 1... and then both of us finished sequels to our most well-known games only a month apart from each other =P
Yeah, I was kinda disappointed at first but now it's fine. The recognition is the main thing I care about. As long as it doesn't drift into the nether I'll be fine. I'm still hoping for a weekly though :D and maybe even a review crew (Cuz I've never gotten one of those).
I've noticed the continuation thing too. It's probably the time of year when big projects get finished.
2011-07-09 12:16:13
that game is awsome. when i played it i couldnt stop laughing. nice work. when do you think the medals are gonna be approved?
I dunno when medals will be approved. Whenever this game gets noticed by a medal mod I guess.
2011-07-10 06:32:18
Epic game! My favourite ending was the epic ending.
Mine too!
2011-07-10 15:33:48
almost beat it on the first try, THOSE STUPID STAIRS!
2011-07-11 17:28:28
awsome the medals are up
Yup! Also frontpage! :D
2011-07-12 07:42:38
i actually found 2 homestuck referrences. i guess.
What's the second one?
2011-07-12 09:58:32
Wow... Simply wow... it's awesome, it's fun, and (of course) awesome.
Although i can't seem to rack up 40 unique fails, and the "Joke" achievement.. any advise? :)
Some fails you have to wait for. And the joke one is SIMILAR to the secret medal.
2011-07-12 19:41:36
didnt one of the missingno popups say "what is this i dont even"? yes i saw that.
It did, but I didn't think that was a Homestuck thing.

oh, well thats the only place i remember seeing it so thats what i thought of
2011-07-13 09:52:26
nice job on getting weekly users choice review crew pick and daily second.
Thank you! First time I've won 3 awards AND first time I've gotten Review Crew!
2011-07-13 19:15:23
Awesome! I loved it. Great, great...
How do you make games? :P
With Flash 8 and a wacom bamboo tablet.
2011-07-13 19:52:11
I love you puffballs united.
Well I-I don't quite know what to say.
2011-07-14 03:10:34
sorry you are right it those creatures were from half-life
I played it 3 years ago so, didn'r remember it to well. I don't know if u played it, but in the options of counter strike u also can switch to half-life and other games. That's were i made the mistake.
anyway fucking awesome game.
Yeah no worries.
2011-07-15 00:26:44
What In BLAZES happened with the Pokeball?! Hahah XD
Missingno happened.
2011-07-15 04:19:08
Awesome game!!!
And glad it got weekly first/review crew pick, 2nd daily place hindered most people from seeing it, but looks like it already has 100k views :D
and Suni, its a missing number reference from pokemon red haha.
Me too!
2011-07-15 06:59:27
Stealing the Diamond is very COOL!!!I can't stop palayin' it!!!
2011-07-15 08:39:11
My favorite ending would probably be the epic one. Though the Aggresive was hardest of all, cause you need some reflexes. Anyways, cool game. I won all three endings and I'm trying to get all medals. Good work!
Epic is my favorite too.
2011-07-15 18:21:24
Sir,is a: review crew pick + 4.60 average score + frontpage + awards something enough for ye to make a sequel?
Plus,do you make those flashs for enjoyment or bucks?( i never did know how much revenue a flash gets anyway)
I'll be making a news post sometime this weekend about future plans. And I make these because I enjoy making people laugh and I love seeing what people think about things I have done. The moneys is just a nice perk :)

Hah,just saw your response there.Look at your game,i guess your prayers got accepted by the Interwebz Godz ;]
And in my opinion,i dont really like the "videos" - i mean.."movies"..if you call them movies...- part of this site..i mean,we got youtube and all..why not stuff those things on there?
Your games are somewhat like a movie.But not boring as the rest of the movies section.Not that i hate them.I just feel its disnecessary stuff those things in the frontpage,as if everyone likes.Comedy is something we search for,because something funny for someone might not be funny for someone else,even general comedy.I guess you had idea of making a movie into a game when you thought of Escaping the Prison,amirite?
By the way,thanks for using a music into the Agressive Ending..i enjoyed it and quickly scoped your soundtrack list for the game.I like that xKore composer ;p Never listened to his alien music until now though.
By the quality of your games,i guess you could even be hired for adult swim or perharps Fox studios to revert those lame ass jokes from Family Guy.
And i also like game devs that makes games for fun,not for just capitalism.You see,i prefer to talk about a game made with pleasure and without money-only intention than a big corporation one.Hence why sometimes i drag people to the game url by randomly advertising everywhere on the webz.
Just a small tip for your *maybe* future games based on Henry and the cops...You might find inspiration on those "Fail blogs"...well,after all,your game is almost based on fails ;)
And becareful on using memes.. You see,theres that "REimagine game" that just uses memes...and its getting a bit unoriginal.
And maybe make a stickmen based game.We are running dry of that art on here..I liked the stickmen games on the beginnins' of the flash games.
And a fun fact is.I tumbled on your ETP game right when you were finishing this.
When I first joined Newgrounds I had a plan to release a series based off comics I drew. It's one of my biggest goals and now that I've got the animation skill it's time for me to take that step. I want to try and animate some more non-stick figure things. Thanks for the long comment!
2011-07-15 20:55:09
I cannot possibly be the only person who noticed that "Stealing the Diamond" abbreviates to STD. Was that on purpose?
No that was not on purpose.
2011-07-16 10:09:40
u r SOOOO awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! is there going to be another sequel to THIS? btw, the Pokeball lolled me OUT! wat the heck happened to it?! did it somehow GLITCH?!
There will probably be a sequel at some point. Missingno.
2011-07-16 10:39:18
whoa right now that game has the leading score of newgrounds. nice job
Yup! But not for too long. The score's dropping pretty fast.
2011-07-16 10:44:56
now that is called awesome,how do you create these games anyway
Flash 8
2011-07-16 10:48:42
!!!!!!! This is a funny as game, good job man
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
2011-07-16 14:21:42
2011-07-17 02:37:47
Fun! Unique fails and endings and most of all, HUMOR! And just watch out for creepers :3
That's my motto in life.
2011-07-17 08:16:25
Well,what do you use to make your art?
And plus,is it hard to make a flash game,being the programmer and the artist?
Sometimes i think coding is so hard.
I use Flash 8, soon to be flash CS5. It's pretty hard but mostly just time consuming. Plus I'm not too great at programming. I only use the simplest of coding.
2011-07-18 12:08:02
I love this game very much.
All of the fails make me laugh.
I'm glad!
2011-07-18 12:26:12
2011-07-18 14:15:03
make another one!
After working on this project constantly since October, wanting to start another huge project does not feel very exciting. I've got some smaller projects I want to work on first.

Dear Meg:
I hate you!
Just kidding, but I am so-o-o-o jealous that you had such sweet, yummy corn, and are torturing me (and the rest of us Americans in Paris) with that photo and description.
I've bought corn in Chinatown here, which is ok, but Romain bought two ears of cryvac'd corn-on-the-cob, which were cooked to a mush so vile that even a starving pig (or supermodel) wouldn't eat them! I tried though...
In Connecticut, where I grew up, we called yellow & white corn "Butter and Sugar" corn. I don't know if that's the official title, but that's certainly what I remember it tasting like.
I can't claim to have the same emotional relationship to sweetcorn as you do (I'm from London, where you don't exactly have sweetcorn stands on every corner), but I was absolutely thrilled last week to discover squeaky fresh corn still in the husk, not a whisper of plastic wrapping and I assume locally grown, in a terrific produce store not too far from Paris called the Jardins du Mesnil, in Le Mesnil le Roi, in the Yvelines. It's a little far to go just to buy corn I realise, but just so you know, some farmer somewhere is saving the corn for human beings, rather than tossing it straight to the animals. We barbecued them in the husk, and it was a treat.
PS I'll grow corn for you if you bring me back some seeds!
Natasha, it's a deal! And thanks for the tip - I may just have to trek out your way this weekend!
I, too, was surprised to find corn in the store last week out here in the Western Burbs. I was sceptical so I peeled back the leaves on each ear to check before buying. The corn did take longer to cook, just like you said. This ain't no sweet Alabama corn like we get there in early summer! But, 'twas corn nevertheless and it was pretty good.
The funny part was the check-out girl just stared at the cobs in the bag and said, "What IS this?" The she had to hunt for a good 3 minutes to find the veggie code to ring them up. When I got home I discovered that she has charged me 2.95 Euros per cob instead of just 70 cents each. That makes for some expensive, mediocre corn but still a pleaure in Paris.
By the way, you can go out to one of the U Pick It farms around Paris (Ferme de Gally in the west) and pick your own corn in late fall.
Geni, I've heard of the Ferme de Gally and have been meaning to check it out. Now that I know they have corn I might just have to finally get round to it!
'Peaches and Cream' (single quote marks) is a specific named variety of bi-color sweet corn.
I love corn too so I understand your grief. I am a packet seed sales rep in Califorinia; I always have lots of outdated seed this time of year and I'd be glad to send you some seed to plant or give to another urban farmer. Just bear in mind that corn needs to be planted in plots of at least 4 feet by 4 feet so as to get good pollination. Usually wind carries pollen from one stalk to another, so plant in blocks, not long single rows.
Let me know if you'd like some seed, and what type: yellow, white or bicolor. I don't want to advertise, so I won't list our brand, but it is very high-germination rate seed. (It is possible you had gotten hold of some poor seed).
good luck--corn (planting)season is just 6 months away!
ps THANKS for putting that ADVERTISING POLICY in red! I almost didn't see it....

Delta and Virgin Atlantic expand partnership
- Published by Ozgur Tore
Delta Air Lines and Virgin Atlantic Airways will expand their partnership between the U.K. and U.S. next year with the introduction of Delta's nonstop service from London to Philadelphia.
Starting on April 8, 2015 the daily service will be Delta's eighth destination to the U.S. from Heathrow. By next summer, the partnership will offer 39 daily flights to 16 destinations across North America from the U.K..
Philadelphia has important historical significance as the place where the Constitution and Declaration of Independence were signed. It is also the fifth most populous city in the United States. Looking at international visitors, historically, the U.K. has been the primary source market to the area, which attracted 673,000 people in 2013, according to data compiled by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Office of Travel and Tourism Industries.
The service to Philadelphia, which is already among the partnership's top 15 onward destinations, is another step by Delta and Virgin Atlantic to strengthen their network between the U.K. and U.S.. Passenger choice was enhanced last month when Delta took over the operation of one of Virgin Atlantic's two daily Heathrow-Los Angeles flights on the same day Virgin Atlantic started operating one of Delta's three flights between Heathrow and its hometown airport in Atlanta. The airlines also started nonstop service from Heathrow to Seattle in March this year.
Delta's London Heathrow-Philadelphia flights will operate as follows:
Heathrow at 12:30 p.m.
Philadelphia at 4:00 p.m.
Philadelphia at 7:04 p.m.
Heathrow at 7:30 a.m. (+1 day)
Delta's Philadelphia service will be operated from Heathrow Terminal 4 using a Boeing 757-200 aircraft with 164 seats. Passengers travelling in the BusinessElite cabin will enjoy fully flat-bed seats and a range of dining options. Additionally, throughout the aircraft, all passengers will have access to on-demand in-flight entertainment.
To date, more than four million people have flown on the Delta-Virgin Atlantic partnership.

We've been hearing rumblings about Microsoft's new Windows Phone 8 General Distribution Release 2 (GDR2) update since back in February, but now it looks like the talk about the new software will finally end and the fun can begin. HTC Germany has announced on its official Facebook page that the GDR2 update is now rolling out over the air to both the Windows Phone 8X and 8S. The Verge has received reports that GDR2 is making its way to unlocked Samsung ATIV S handsets as well.
Microsoft posted a brief changelog for GDR2 on its official Windows Phone 8 update page earlier this month. The update brings with it FM radio support, expanded carrier support for Data Sense usage tracking, improved stability and performance for Skype and Lync, better HTML5 performance in IE9, and other enhancements. One of the changes that's not included in Microsoft's list is Gmail CardDAV and CalDAV support, which will allow Windows Phone users to continue to sync their Gmail and calendars with their devices.
While GDR2 doesn't introduce any life-changing tweaks to Windows Phone 8, it does contain several small improvements that ought to make using a WP8 device a better overall experience. Neither Microsoft nor any U.S. carriers about have said when GDR2 might make its way stateside, but an internal T-Mobile document sent to WPCentral claims that Magenta's version of the HTC 8X could be updated as soon as July 22. T-Mobile hasn't commented on the leak, but considering that the international 8X is in the process of being updated to GDR2, it's certainly possible that T-Mobile's update could be close.

An interactive online map that helps people find bicycle routes throughout the Twin Cities has now expanded to the entire state.
The map, called Cyclopath, was originally launched in 2008 for just the Twin Cities. It now includes other regions and Greater Minnesota, the Minnesota Department of Transportation announced Monday.
The map includes MnDOT's complete road network and most of its trails. But bicyclists can edit the map to add more routes as the bicycle network expands.
The tool allows people to search for specific routes, like ones that favor trails and bike lanes, and also shows routes with the shortest distance between two points. The map is based on shared data --- users can also search for routes with the highest user ratings and rate their own routes through entering "bikeability" ratings and sharing experiences and road conditions.
Cyclopath was developed in partnership with the University of Minnesota and the Metropolitan Council.
The map is available for desktop computers and can also be downloaded as an app for Android users from the website.

No PD will give me a nice S shot, or a straighter, tighter distance line (the P-PD will for a little bit before it starts flipping more), or MAX D.

I'm ideally looking at something FASTER than a PD or right on par with it.

That's all the further I can throw em too. I get to around 350 on a good drive with a 170g S-PD.

County hopes to raise radon awareness in district schools
Iowa is often called the safest state in the nation, so it may come as a surprise it harbors more of the invisible, odorless gas, which is the second-leading cause of lung cancer, than anywhere else in the country.
Jefferson County Sanitarian Dan Miller of the environmental health department is turning his focus to radon awareness as the nationally recognized Radon Action Month approaches in January. Miller has applied for a state grant to educate schools as well as supply the community with 120 radon testing kits free of charge.
Miller is an advocate of testing, which he said is crucial to knowing if residents are at risk. Radon accounts for 21,000 lung cancer deaths every year, 400 of which are Iowans, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.
"The only way to tell if your home has high radon levels is to test for it," he said. "When you breathe in radioactive gas, it damages the lungs, which can cause mutations leading to cancer. If you have some predisposition to it, your chances are that much greater."
The naturally-occurring gas is produced by decaying uranium in soil caused by glacial activity. The Iowa Department of Public Health estimates about 70 percent of Iowa homes contain high levels of the toxic gas, which enters buildings through cracks in walls and foundations.
Last year, Miller offered 100 free test kits through his department. He asked residents to report their findings, identifying 43 homes with high radon levels, 15 of which pursued radon mitigation projects.
Considering the $1,200-$1,500 cost of mitigation —installing a pipe beneath the slab of a home to carry air from beneath the building before it can enter — Miller said, "those are good numbers."
Residents picked up all of the tests within five days, said Miller, indicating a growing interest from the community.
"I think there's some awareness around it now," he said, "but there are still people who aren't aware of radon because you don't detect it with your senses, there's no incentive to do anything about it."
Miller said he's talked to community members who believed they'd suffered adverse health effects from radon. But it's hard to find survivors of radon-induced lung cancer as it has a high mortality rate.
In Iowa, one such rare survivor is Gail Orcutt, an Iowa Radon Coalition spokeswoman and resident of Pleasant Hill. Orcutt was diagnosed with radon-induced lung cancer in 2010 and had her entire left lung removed. With no family history of the disease or of smoking, her occurance remained unexplained until she tested her home of 18 years for radon. She discovered radiation levels of 6.9 picocuries per liter, much higher than the 4.0 the Environmental Protection Agency deems hazardous to health.
"If I can keep just one person from going through this, I'd feel it was all worth something," Orcutt said in an interview with the American Lung Association.
Activists such as Orcutt hope to help pass legislation for testing and mitigating radon. Miller said broadening his reach to schools could be another way to make an impact. This year, for the first time, he said funding was available for larger projects beyond free test kits. While the grant is for $2,000 at most, he said it would be enough to begin education efforts. He said he'll wait to approach schools until he hears back Dec. 19. if he's been awarded the grant.
Fred McElwee, director of auxiliary services for the Fairfield Community School District, said district facilities have never been tested for radon.
"We have not tested for radon at this point, but it is on our radar," he said.
While personally in favor of testing, McElwee said the school board would make that decision if grant money became available. Miller said testing of school facilities would most likely require more than the standard home testing kits.
"In large buildings testing is a bigger undertaking," said Miller, "but on the other hand, we're talking about our children."
Miller is scheduled to ask the Fairfield City Council during the Dec. 17 meeting at city hall, as well as the county board of supervisors to approve a proclamation declaring January as Radon Action Month as he has done for the past four years.

I love chain letters as much as the next guy (which is to say pretty much not at all) but when the lovely Lash of Lash World Tour asked if I'd be a part of the Travel Bloggers Best Dozen Project, how could I refuse. Besides, I've been neglecting this blog quite a lot recently, and a nice round-up of what I did in 2012 is sure to be the impetus I need to get those creative juices flowing.
The 12 Categories
1. Most popular: 12 Mildly Disturbing Scenes at Legoland, Florida
This is the post that (thankfully) just wouldn't quit. It did well when I first ran it back in April, but then things died off a bit. In September, CNNGo (now merged into CNN Travel) asked if they could run it to coincide with the opening of Legoland Malaysia. Then Mashable asked. Then Yahoo News picked it up. It was even in print in Denmark's Politken newspaper. Mighty grateful to all!
2. Most helpful travel tip: Shysters, Shams, & Bangkok Scams
The tale of how I eluded one of Bangkok's most notorious scams, and tips on how others can avoid it and others too. Includes info on the tuk-tuk scam and the Thai gem scam as well.
3. A post that was surprisingly successful: 5 Quirky Things to Do in Cancun
My "5 Quirky Things to Do in…" series has drawn steady traffic, but this one has done steadily well in Google search results. I think maybe because of that awesome looking JetPack Adventure.
4. A post I thought was under-rated: The Pompous Porpoise & The Wallflower Whale: A SeaWorld Saga
I was proud of my writing style on this one. I'm not a huge fan of SeaWorld or zoos or animal enclosures of any kind, but since I was given a ticket as part of a press trip, and I had set myself the expectation that I would write about it. I thought the end result was pretty darn good.
5. Most controversial: The Most Graphic Toilet Sign Ever
When I first saw this sign at a pool hall in Manado, Indonesia I wasn't really sure what it was. It's one of those ones where you have to take a closer look to see what's going on (or at least I did). Once you do though, it hits you like a sack of bricks. It's gross, it's disturbing, and it's sad all at the same time. I don't think I will ever get the image out of my head. Nor will a lot of folks judging by the comments here and on Reddit.
6. Most amusing: 44 Dioramas of Dead Gophers
I thought the Gopher Hole Museum in Torrington, Alberta was just hilarious. I still smile when I see some of the photos.
7. The post I'm most proud of: The Holy Grail of Hokey — Inside The Holy Land Experience Part One and Part Two
Surprisingly to some, I was quite religious in my younger days, and although I've been a lapsed Catholic for years, I was dying to get a gander at The Holy Land Experience in Orlando. The place did not disappoint — it's as cheesy as it sounds, and I loved every second of it. Not because of any religious connection mind you, but because the place is so over-the-top in-your-face come-on-down to Christian Town! "Mary Magdalene let loose with a bedazzler" is how I describe it at one point, and that pretty much sums it up.
8. Best travel story or travel perspective: Putting the Grrr Back in Green
I attended the ASEAN Tourism Forum in Manado, Indonesia in January of 2012 where the theme of conference was "ASEAN Goes Green," and although I didn't see much green along many of the beaches in Asia during my time there (the amount of garbage was appalling), it was interesting to see that only one country — Thailand, had some sort of green initiative for its tourism sector.
9. Best travel adventure: The Other Rat Race: Rat Hunting (and rat-eating) in Indonesia
Hands-down the best (and strangest) adventure that I experienced this past year. So grateful to Mario at Flowers Lane Vacations for taking on this wild (and slightly icky) excursion hunting and eating jungle rats.
10. Best cultural perspectives or insights: Travel Photo (and Poll) of the Week: Child on a Leash
I picked this one because of the comments that came from readers. In the past, I found myself judging parents who had their kids on a leash. The comments made me think twice, and although I still don't think I could ever harness a child, I kinda get where they're coming from. Kinda.
11. Most beautiful: 52 Awesome Origami Art Creations
Some of these origami creations were absolutely amazing, and the time and effort that went into them made them even more beautiful in my mind.
12. Best photo or photo gallery: The Creepily Peculiar White Temple of Chiang Rai
Probably the most visually interesting place I visited in 2012, Wat Rong Khun, or the White Temple certainly did not disappoint.
2012 was one hell of a year. Here's hoping 2013 will be just as good.
My Nominations:
I nominate the following five travel bloggers, in no particular order, to help keep the Travel Bloggers Best Dozen Project going…
Michael from Strux Travel
Leif from Runaway Guide
Dani & Jess from The Globetrotter Girls
Ian from Where Sidewalks End
Sebastian from Off The Path

Sophomore Jennie Stoll
Sept. 8, 2005
Weekly Cross Country Notes in PDF Format
Download Free Acrobat Reader
The Miami University women's cross country team heads into Saturday's Miami Invitational--the only home meet on the 2005 schedule--looking to win its second consecutive title at Western Campus Course. Miami hopes to have sophomore Jennie Stoll, who was held out of last week's race at Dayton due to an injury, back in action this weekend. Miami will face two teams--Wright State and Cincinnati--it competed against in last week's Flyer 5K Challenge, and in addition, MAC rival Kent State, Eastern Kentucky, Malone College (Canton, Ohio) and Cumberland College (Williamsburg, Ky.) will also participate in the meet.
ECKERLY LOOKS FOR SECOND STRAIGHT MIAMI TITLE: Sophomore Carol Eckerly is looking to win her second Miami Invitational title in as many years. Eckerly paced the pack at the 2004 Miami Invite with a time of 18:18, and she is coming off a 12th-place finish at the Flyer 5K Challenge in the season-opening meet.
FLYER 5K RECAP: In their season-opening meet, Miami took home a third-place finish at the Flyer 5K Challenge as sophomore Sarah Henize (Bucyrus, Ohio/Bucyrus) finished second overall and was the RedHawks top finisher. Henize paced Miami with a time of 19:04.
Behind Henize, two other RedHawks, sophomore Carol Eckerly (12th) and senior Kristen Proach (15th) finished among the top 15 runners. Sophomores Tricia Frisella, who placed 17th (19:53), and Mia Fiegelist, who placed 18th (19:57), were the other top-20 finishers for Miami.
FLASHBACK: In last season's Miami Invite, Carol Eckerly led her teammates across the tape for the second-straight week as the RedHawks swept the Miami Invitational over Cumberland College and Marshall. Eckerly led a group of Miami runners that finished in the first eight places. Eckerly finished at 18:18 while teammate Jennie Stoll was the runner-up at 18:29.
Behind Miami's top two runners, Tricia Frisella finished third (18:52), Kristen Proach finished fourth (19:26) and Sarah Henize rounded out the top five (19:30). Miami had three more runners-- Kelly Ardelean, Mia Fiegelist and Abbey Reeser--complete the race before Cumberland's first runner crossed the finish line.
ARE THEY CLARIVOYANT?: After finishing sixth in the conference last season, the RedHawks were the No. 5 ranked team in the MAC Preseason Coaches Poll. Kent State was tabbed as the preseason favorite. Miami has the ability to finish higher than fifth if their two sophomores, Carol Eckerly and Jennie Stoll can continue to improve in their second season and if Miami can get consistently higher finishes from its group of seniors. Ceronie expects Kristen Proach, a junior walk-on last season, to emerge in her senior season and provide depth behind his top two runners, Eckerly and Stoll.
RELOADING, NOT REBUILDING: Head coach Richard Ceronie returns his top nine runners from last season, and he did not lose any letterwinners to graduation. The RedHawks have a mixture of youth and veteran experience as five freshman and four seniors comprise Ceronie's top nine. Besides Stoll and Eckerly, Miami's sophomore class includes Tricia Frisella, Mia Fiegelist and Sarah Henize. The four member senior class includes Kelly Ardelean, Kristen Proach, Leslie McCue and Abby Reeser.
2004 RECAP: In 2004, Miami finished sixth in the Mid-American Conference as Carol Eckerly (seventh) and Jennie Stoll (19th) paced the RedHawks. Miami began its season by winning its first three meets--the Dayton Flyer Invitational, the Miami Invitational and the Cedarville Invitational--and the young RedHawks' squad that featured six freshman placed 12th at the Great Lakes Regional. Stoll was the top finisher (12th) at the regional meet while Eckerly was the only Miami runner to earn MAC honors (second-team) by virtue of her seventh-place finish at the conference meet.

Rihanna and George Clooney play a risky game of 'Never Have I Ever'
It was cringe city when Ellen DeGeneres forced Rihanna and George Clooney to play a game of 'Never Have I Ever'.
Rihanna and George Clooney shouldn't have felt safe when they stopped by The Ellen Show for a chat.
Ellen, who is always one to find creative ways to get all the goss out of our favourite stars, decided to play a game of 'Never Have I Ever'. We've got to thank her a heap for doing it because we have just found out some pretty interesting stuff about Rhi Rhi and Mr Clooney.
So lets get straight to it…
The daytime host did ask some pretty standard questions like "Have you ever hooked up in a car?"
Then it turned juicy:
"Never have I ever seen a rapper naked."
Rihanna: YES
George: NO
"Never have I ever sent nude selfies."
Rihanna: YES
George: NO
"Never have I ever swam naked in Lake Como."
Rihanna: NO
George: YES
"Never have I ever hooked up with someone over 50."
Rihanna: NO
George: NO (we find that hard to believe).
Trust Ellen to ask a weird question during the game, like if they had ever spanked a cat. Rihanna cheekily answered "Depends which cat" … Ellen then revealed that her cat likes to be spanked. LOL.
Watch the full interview below.
Oh. My. God.
"The scum of the earth."

This week on Here's Park Slope, there's an interview with a bartender at the South Slope bar, Timboos, located on Fifth Avenue and 11th Street. Now that's a place that's been in the neighborhood forever. A friend of mine who grew up on Fifth Avenue in the fifties and sixties used to tell me about that place. Great stories.
Here's Park Slope's Dan runs a great series called Know Your Bartender and he does great interviews. In fact he interviewed me for an upcoming piece on his blog (know your bloggers?). Here's an excerpt from his interview with bartender Betty Collins.
When it comes to South Slope bars, there are two categories: those that draw a younger crowd and those that cater to a slightly older demographic. For the former category, Ellis Bar and Black Horse Tavern come to mind. Bars in the latter category also share the trait of having been in the neighborhood the longest, though, and they include Smith's, Jackie's Fifth Amendment, and Timboo's. These old-school bars open earlier, stay open later, draw a fiercely loyal clientele, and are throwbacks to an earlier Brooklyn.

Tonight on Lifetime, RAISING ASIA airs it's an all new second episode in it's first season. On tonight's show, called "Diva Days, Red Carpet Nights," Asia is slated to perform at the Reality TV Awards.
For those of you not familiar with the show, Child prodigy Asia Monet Ray is no stranger to the spotlight and her loyal fan base eagerly follows her every career move.
On the last episode the Ray family revolves around eight-year old daughter Asia's rising star, and last week there was a huge performance at World of Dance on the line. Questions about the suitability of the choreography put the entire performance in jeopardy. Meanwhile, Asia's parents struggled with their own balancing act. Did you watch the last episode we recapped it all here for you.
On tonight's episode this week Asia is slated to perform at the Reality TV Awards, but tensions are already running high in the Ray household, and when Kristie isn't happy with the stage, she tries to pull the plug. Meanwhile, Shawn goes toe-to-toe with Asia's manager.
Tonight's second episode is going to be great and you won't want to miss it. So be sure to tune in for our live coverage of Lifetime's Raising Asia tonight at 10PM EST! In the meantime, sound out in the comments below and tell us what you think about this new show.
Tonight's episode begins now – Refresh Page for Updates
Tonight's episode of Raising Asia begins with Asia's dad sitting down with Asia's manager Billy for a meeting. Shawn hasn't been happy with her management lately and her career cutting in to their family time. Her manager reassures him that he has a contract with his wife. Shawn lectures him that "no one messes with his family." Shawn threatens him with replacing him, and tells him that there are more managers out there. Billy thinks that now that he has made Asia a success, Shawn suddenly wants to be more involved.
Kristie is at home trying to get Asia ready for the Reality TV Awards. He demand to know why Kristie didn't tell him that she signed a contract with Billy. Kristie argues that she has to sign things and take care of things while he isn't around. She sends Asia upstairs to put on her outfit, but Asia complains that it is too small. Kristie throws a fit and says that she isn't filming any more of the show until Asia puts the outfit on. Shawn heads up to the bathroom and convinces Asia to stretch the dance outfit out and get it on. He comes downstairs and lectures Kristie that she needs to relax and reminds her that the cameras are still rolling, just because she says she isn't filming doesn't mean that they will turn them off.
It's one day until the Reality TV Awards, and Asia and Kristie meet with Billy their manager to prepare. Asia will be presenting an award on stage, and Billy has her practice reading the speech she was given to announce the nominees. Afterwards, Asia leaves so that Kristie can talk to Billy 1-on-1. He lets her know that he had a confrontation with Shawn. Kristie doesn't want to lose him as a manager so she reassures him that she will "smoother things out with Shawn."
It's the day of the Reality TV Awards. Kristie heads to the awards show where Asia will be performing with Billy and Asia's choreographer Anthony. They are shocked when they arrive and realize they were misinformed and the stage that Asia is supposed to dance on isn't half as big as they were told it would be. Kristie throws a fit and insists that her daughter won't be dancing on that tiny stage because she could get hurt.
Anthony convinces Kristie to let Asia perform, and changes her dance to accommodate the tiny stage. The big night finally arrives, and Shawn heads backstage to give Kristie and Asia a pep talk. Asia takes the stage and pulls off her performance and speech without a hitch. Afterwards Shawn heads backstage to congratulate her. Kristie agrees to let Asia go "party with Anthony" before they go home.

About Me
I'm a pacific person and so I don't like aggressive sports... but I love any other kind and always enjoy some brain or body movement in team oriented sports or games. Don't expect to win against me. Yeah, I'm pretty much a competitive person myself. Always healthy competitivity :D
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I lived 6 months in Cork (Ireland) and had an amazing experience working and hosting people there, living abroad for first time.
Ever since when I go abroad I use couchsurfing for meeting people or/and either help or get helped.
So basically the reason I'm here relates to knowing people and having great experiences, besides the help you can receive or provide which is sometimes a really good extra for your trip.
I love sports. I love sports. I could say it another time but probably you already got the idea.
I love to connect with people. That's not always possible cose we are all different, but it's worth trying to.
I enjoy go running, I like movies, cinema, music, board games, cooking, web development, acrobatic kites, beach, play video games, drinking beer/wine/rum with good company and I love joking and having this helpless undiagnosticated hyperactivity of mine :D
