Shaco Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
First of all to make things clear I'm not claiming to be a pro or that you will be kick *** with these builts .That's the way I enjoy playing shaco amd I just wanted to share it with you.. And just for the record AD shaco is way better i just find AP way more funny and enjoyable..
Explanation for each built
The first Built is AP shaco the most valid build for a player who hasn't played shaco again
The second built is pure ap focusing on nuking and surviving requires some experience with shaco
The third and final built is hydrid shaco a ******* destroyer but Very Very hard to learn
Here comes the explanation for each built
1st Built
Greater Mark of Magic Penetration Greater Seal of Replenishment Greater Glyph of Ability Power Greater Quintessence of Health Greater Quint of Potency
We chose red for magic pen. as it will help us vs tanks and increase our damage early and late game
We go yellow for mana rege. obviously for the mana reg. as it will help us stay in lane longer
Blues and quintessences for ability power for the biggest damage output early on
And one quintessence for health to help us stay on lane longer
We go normal mage masteries 9/0/21 explaining it is a waste of time
Summoner Spells
Exhaust and ghost hit them to escape ,finish an escaper or exhaust to destry a carry or a tough ad off tank
It gove's a nice amount of hp/ap/and mana regen perfect starting item
We prefer this vs the cd boots because we need the magic pen. and the cd of the blue buff and blue elixir are already enough
This is one of your 2 highest damage outputs among with Use this when the enemy is around 100% hp or under 100 hp otherwise is useless
Okey when you have this 4 items you dominate vs squishes .Nice movement bonus among with ap and magic resist and a nice amount of mana
One of the most croucial ap items make's your ability boost to the top
Slow/Hp/and ap what else do could you ask for?
Now you have to make a choise survivability vs damage here's your 2 optoins
Spell vamp and ad guarantee that u wont need to go back and also a nice active use it as a finisher or slow
HP hp and hp this item makes you a bit more tanky
Early Game (1-6):
At lvl one go to the closest bush and the place with JiBs w8 them to come ..2 way's to succed either you'll need to be low hp and make them follow or let them push .. When you take two shive use it to harass the squishe enemy ..When you feel sure ping and go for the kill (never solo thats why you ping)
Mid Game (7-12)
Hopefully you built up to lich bane this is when the fun begins.Here the steps u follow:
1st look for an enemy in your path
2nd place a jib
3rd wait him to come when he finally come's use the acrive of deathfir
4th 2shive and auto attack
5th stealth and auto attacl
6th if you tower dive wait ur hp to go 10% then press your ult .DONT AUTO ATTACK the turret will hit it and it will blow up doing massive AOE and u can stealth away
(if you have hemtex dont forget the passive )
Late Game (13-18)
Now you''l be to squish to dive in 5 so you wait for the battle to start and you press your ulti end stealth away then try to use ur combo at a squishe carry or ap/carry
2nd Built
Greater Mark of Magic Penetration Greater Seal of Replenishment Greater Glyph of Ability Power Greater Quintessence of Experience Greater Quint of Potency
We chose red for magic pen. as it will help us vs tanks and increase our damage early and late game
We go yellow for mana rege. obviously for the mana reg. as it will help us stay in lane longer
Blues and quintt streight up ability power or exp quints..EXPERIENCE QUINTS ARE TOO UNDERRATED I"ll explain why to pick em later on
We go for more defence and regen 0/9/21
Summoner Spells
Clarity and flash nothing i can add clarity is used when your oom and dont keep it it wont save you the sooner you use it the sooner you re-use it .. try to combine flash with your stealth/blink
I have already explained these items
Nice amount of armor and ability power but its the active that pays off
More magic resist for you less for them! Plus a nice amount of ability power
Early Game (1-6):
Your point is to plant boxes and make them come this is easily achieved by running low hp ..And if the enemies got a jungler is extremly easy to kill him just choose a path he'll defininatly chosse and get him off guard
MidGame (7-12):
When you max your dagger you can follow the 1st builts playstyle
Late Game (13-18):
As you have a nice amount of armor and ap go for kills in team fights never close combat only lay your boxes and your clone and try to snipe squishes with ur shive(NEVER FFORGET HOURGLASSES ACTIVE it saves lives trust me)
3rd Built
Greater Mark of Magic Penetration Greater Seal of Armor Greater Glyph of Magic Resist Greater Quintessence of Health
I have explained red twice no need to do that again
Now yellows blues and quints are used for survival this shaco built is special and very though to learn so don't be very sure you'll make a poositive score without practise
9/6/14 we try to balance things for this "hydrid" shaco
Summoner spells
Exhaust and ignite what you need for first blood and a nice carry destroyer later on.. PLus ignite saves ***es at tough 1 v 1 like mundo, fiddle, trynda or any support
Okey i won't explain rylai's crystal scepter nore doran's ring nore the boots note the hextech as i have done it before
Adds damage and attack speed among with a pretty usefull passive
Adds damage and lifestyle
Now how this built works is helps you keep up with both ap and ad needs so you'll be a god in 1 v 1 exhaust and ignite make it pretty easy and your main point now is to kill the support or the carry nothing else even if this means dying for it
You can always use you're ulti to escape for a debuff because it make's you invunarable for a second use to to escape skills like ashe's ulti or karthus's or veigar's or even an auto attack that will kill you ..
Plus when you use your ulti turret's aggro goes to it so use it wisely for your advantage
Never forget to use your activie's and never forget to buy pots after you finished your built ..
YOU CAN take the blue buff once you're level one put 5-6 jibs wait it to spawn and make it go to the boxes it will die in a matter of seconds
And something I haven't mentioned above the boots are second item to each built in case you take first blood
Always Rembember
You\re not a tank nore a god don't go in 3 people for a kill that might doess't even worth it and dont wait to be able to put up with champs like yi or trynda
Most importantly
Have fun ;) That's what the game is for .. Don't be greedy and good luck ..
I would appriciate if you dont troll vote or vote without trying it

We booked with Broadway to Marrakesh - supposedly a five star hotel - however we had no water in our room, were constantly moved to ever grubbier accommodation and received absolutely no help from Broadway. BEWARE, they are NOT, repeat NOT a travel agent and therefore pass all complaints to the "suppliers". after having to pay for our own flights home, we were left substantially out of pocket. They are rip off merchants and not to be trusted.

Fact sheet
The following fact sheet provides a summary of our current business and research pipeline.
In September 2014 LCT appointed three high-level scientific advisors to review and support its work as NTCELL progresses towards commercialisation. The appointments are Professors Roger Barker from Cambridge, Richard Faull from Auckland and Anne Young from Harvard. All are internationally recognised experts on the discovery of new treatments for neurodegenerative diseases.
Professor Roger Barker, MD PhD FRCP, Professor of Clinical Neurosciences and Deputy Director, John van Geest Centre for Brain Repair, University of Cambridge, United Kingdom, has extensive experience in evaluating and developing new therapies for Parkinson's and Huntington's diseases including cell therapies. His studies focus on disease heterogeneity using cognitive testing, functional imaging and genetic biomarkers.
Professor Sir Richard Faull, ONZM MBChB PhD DSc FRSNZ, Distinguished Professor of Anatomy and Director, Centre for Brain Research, University of Auckland School of Medicine, has over 40 years' research experience in anatomical studies of human brain neuronal growth. He directs the Centre for Brain Research which carries out research and development programs targeting neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's, Huntington's, motor neurone and Alzheimer's diseases.
Professor Anne B Young, MD PhD, Distinguished Julieanne Dorn Professor of Neurology, Harvard Medical School, Boston, United States, has over 40 years' experience studying functional neuroanatomy. Her current research focuses on studies of new therapeutic strategies for Parkinson's and Huntington's diseases.
In September 2014 LCT formed a collaboration with the Centre for Brain Research (CBR). The research collaboration will identify additional neurodegenerative disease targets for clinical studies of LCT's lead product NTCELL®.
Directed by Professor Sir Richard Faull, ONZM MBChB PhD DSc FRSNZ, University of Auckland Distinguished Professor, the CBR has a specialised interest in neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's, Huntington's, motor neurone and Alzheimer's diseases.
We expect to use our expertise to identify and commercialise treatments and products from CBR research.
In 2011 Living Cell Technologies established the joint venture Diatranz Otsuka Limited (DOL) in partnership with Otsuka Pharmaceutical Factory, Inc. (OPF). DOL is a private company incorporated in New Zealand.
DOL is concentrating its research and development activities in support of OPF's development of DIABECELL in the United States. Once registered in the United States, DOL retains the royalty-free right to commercialise the FDA-approved product in the rest of the world.

Posted by Priya on 18:25:57 8/7/2014 from 18.104.22.168:
Thanks for the awesome info loaded in your site. Very helpful.
I have a very confusing dilemma. 3 months back we had a terminix guy come by and offered pest control program. We recently had a baby, and just as a precaution and also as the home was 13 years old, we took it. He wanted us to enrol in the termite program also but we replied to see about it later. The pest control alone was $85 quarterly. He checked aound the perimeter of the home and sprayed some stuff and said other than a few spiders and ants, everything else was pretty clean. This August he came in and did the regular maintenance. We were not home, so he left us a note saying he saw termites under a rock in the platbed in the right side of our home. We use ground mulch and the plantbed is lined on the outside with flat grey rocks. He wanted us to take the termite program which is like $850 a year. I checked the rocks on the right side of the building, but did not see any. We have been living in this home for the past 7 years. It is brick front and has a finished basement. We never had any issues with pest or ants or any other bugs. I totally respect that every insect has a right to live on this earth as us and I never worry about a few spiders or snakes or beetles around the home or as far as they are in the garden. But I am worried about how serious should i take this matter. Please help me on how i should handle this matter, and how far should I believe him.. Also I would like to know some good pest exterminators around this area, if needed. We live in Winston Salem, nc.

Skip to comments.Defiant Message From Greece (Economic Brinkmanship)
Posted on 05/18/2012 8:30:28 AM PDT by C19fan
The head of Greece's radical left partythrowing down a gauntlet that could increase tensions between Greece and its frustrated European creditorssaid he sees little chance Europe will cut off funding to the country but that if it does, Athens will stop paying its debts.
A financial collapse in Greece would drag down the rest of the euro zone, said Alexis Tsipras, the 37-year-old head of the Coalition of the Radical Left, known as Syriza, and potentially the country's next prime minister. Instead, he said, Europe must consider a more growth-oriented policy to arrest Greece's spiraling recession and address what he
(Excerpt) Read more at online.wsj.com ...
Let those welfare punks with an entitlement mentality have a temper tantrum. It's not going to help the situation at all.
It's time for Greece to stop being a welfare state and actually start producing things others want to buy.
"Europe must consider a more growth-oriented policy to arrest Greece's spiraling recession..."
Uhhh...maybe you might want to consider GREECE considering a more growth-oriented policy to arrest YOUR spiraling recession.
Oh, wait, that might involve having Greek people actually do productive work, which somehow doesn't seem to be in the Greek national character.
Greece = 3 year old brat stamping their tiny feet and holding their breath.
Germany's their Daddy.
If the Greeks were being honest about it, they never would have signed on. If they're gonna be honest about it now...they'll need to walk.
hey, that tactic worked like a charm for Donald Trump.
If Greece defaults on it's debts, just who exactly does he think will take that "cash" in trade for anything of value?
and the Greeks were standing their ground shooting at divebombers with pistols.
The fact is this boob came in THIRD (or was that fourth). It is like saying ralph nader or kook paul is a serious contender.
all they need is another Olympics (sarcasm)
the euro would then be dead.
The only solution is to forgive all debt and simply not lend any more.
My old boss told me, "Never start a fight you can't win unless you want to get your ass whipped."
And Germany and the rest of EU could retaliate by prohibiting any EU bank from lending to any Greek person or entity.

We've been watching Barack Obama for two years now, and in all that time there hasn't been a moment in which he has publicly lost his self-control. This has been a period of tumult, combat, exhaustion and crisis. And yet there hasn't been a moment when he has displayed rage, resentment, fear, anxiety, bitterness, tears, ecstasy, self-pity or impulsiveness.It could be that Obama will be an observer, not a leader. Rather than throwing himself passionately into his causes, he will stand back. Congressional leaders, put off by his supposed intellectual superiority, will just go their own way. Lost in his own nuance, he will be passive and ineffectual. Lack of passion will produce lack of courage. The Obama greatness will give way to the Obama anti-climax.We can each guess how the story ends. But over the past two years, Obama has clearly worn well with voters. Far from a celebrity fad, he is self-contained, self-controlled and maybe even a little dull. Op-Ed Columnist - Thinking About Obama - NYTimes.com
Sardines are healthy and considered a "brain food."
These fish are rich in omega 3 fatty acids, which can help maintain a healthy heart[citation needed]. Recent studies suggest that omega-3 fatty acids slow the progression of mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease[citation needed]. These fatty acids can also help control blood sugar level[citation needed]. Not only are sardines packed with omega-3 fatty acids, but they are also a good source of vitamin D, calcium, B12 and protein. [4] Sardines are extremely low in contaminates such as mercury.

Video: Nick Johnson Block And No-Look To Rondae Hollis-Jefferson Could Be Arizona's Play Of The Year
Arizona is one of the most fun teams in the country to watch due to their extreme athleticism and up-tempo style, and this play is just a microcosm of why the 2014 Wildcats are elite.
Up 12 against Cal, the team that knocked the once-undefeated Wildcats from the top of the polls earlier in the year, Nick Johnson blocks Cal star Justin Cobb from behind, takes a pass and pushes the ball up the floor, and hits forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson with a beautiful no-look pass for an emphatic slam.
This play is why we love college basketball so much.

Ratings for Dr. Ali Al-Attar
Dr. Ali Al-Attar is just a fantastic surgeon, doctor, person. He has the skill without the pompous, medical "holier than thou" attitude I tend to see in most doctors across the board. He really listens, he genuinely cares, and he's not out to make as much money off of you as he can -- he just wants to create great results.. and he certainly did for me!
Dr Al-Attar was doing a procedure in the hospital when I arrived in the ER with my 7 year old son who had fallen without putting his hands out and badly broke his nose and lacerated his face. The Dr. did a fantastic job assuring us of what needed to be done, going so much as to admitting he wasn't comfortable fixing the broken nose of a child because of the complications with growth. He recommended 3 doctors to choose from and fixed the laceration. Those are things a good Dr should do, but he went further. He made my son, who was very scared, feel comfortable with having his wound stitched. Even though he passed off to another Doctor he has called the house to see how he has doing. Its not often you find that commitment in a Dr. I would recommend Dr. Al-Attar to anyone.
Dr. Al Attar is the consummate plastic surgeon. I have had several procedures to fix disproportionate fat distribution in my arms. I never walked away satisfied. Dr. Al Attar is the first doctor who really heard my concerns, took time to communicate with me, was available for questions several times, and even charged me a more reasonable rate than any other doctor was willing to. I couldn't be happier with the experience and I'm THRILLED with my results. I would recommend Dr. Al Attar to anyone who needs a cosmetic procedure.

The only veterinarian in town, Rose Kincaid is in high demand with her ranch clients. Despite this, the sassy, independent redhead makes time for regular trips to The Haven, a club she frequents. Being submissive to two men simultaneously brings her welcome stress relief and sexual satisfaction. Lately, the long weekend trips are wearing her down. She never imagined she would discover a sexy new client to whom she could submit her searing desires. Learning there are two delicious, identical brothers leaves her breathless and imagining endless possibilities.
Nick and Ethan Santos are twins who share everything, from their profession to their home to their women to their sexual lifestyle. Leaving a bad relationship, they give up their law firm and purchase their grandparents' west Texas ranch. When the local vet shows up looking like a sexy siren, Nick is speechless. Once Ethan sees Rose, there's no turning back from them pursuing her as their chosen partner.
Sizzling heat and sexual encounters arise when the three give in to their desires. She wants casual. They want permanent. None of them ever dreamed they would find someone to share their bed, let alone their D/s lifestyle in the small community.
This was a fun, low angst ménage read. Rose Kincaid is the veterinary for a small community outside of Dallas, Texas. The new ranch owners, twins Nick and Ethan Santos, catch her fancy but they are clients and she "tries" to keep the relationship between her and them professional.
Nick and Ethan were successful lawyers but cut the ties to the city in order to buy their grandparent's ranch to make a new beginning. In the past, a woman tried to come between them, but these boys come as a package deal. No one will tear them apart.
This story really hit the spot for me. It could've highly angsty with all the taboo elements, such as Nick and Ethan being twins and sharing women (even though they aren't intimate with each other). Or that all three of them want to have a relationship in a small town that would probably be judgmental and/or hostile. Or that all three of them love BDSM. Instead, the story focused on the actual romance for the plot. I was afraid that the sex would overtake the romance, but it didn't. What was on page was hot and not all of it was part of a BDSM scene—which were lighter than I expected. I also liked the realistic element where they didn't try to come out and make their community accept them, but agreed to be discreet. I loved how Rose was submissive in the bedroom but independent the rest of the time. The teaser with Rose's brother and best friend has me interested and I would love read about the two (or three) of them. This is a series I will definitely keep following.

The Twin Cities Film Festival opens in St. Louis Park Wednesday evening with the Minnesota-made movie "Blood Stripe." The film follows the trials of a female Marine returning from combat duty.
It opens with a Marine sergeant returning from her latest overseas tour. After she lands at Minneapolis-St. Paul International, she returns home to find a guy sitting on the front step.
"You live here?" she asks.
"Yeah, with my wife and three kids," he says, taking a drag of his cigarette.
"Well, I guess I got the wrong house," she says.
He stands up and they wrap their arms around each other.
"Welcome home baby," he says. Then he adds with a smile, "I didn't miss you for a second."
"No, me neither," she says as they walk inside.
Her husband's name is Rusty. We never learn the name of the Marine.
She's played by Kate Nowlin, who wrote the screenplay with her husband, Remy Auberjonois. He directed the film. He is also an actor, currently appearing in "Sense and Sensibility" at the Guthrie Theater.
Together they were looking to develop a film project he could direct. They live in the Twin Cities, but often visit a family cabin in St. Louis County, near the Canadian border. It was there they saw an article about a woman from Cook who had been named soldier of the year by the Army Times. That got them thinking, Nowlin said, about women serving in combat. Suddenly it seemed they were hearing similar stories from all over.
"There was a New York Times op-ed piece that we read about female combatants coming back, and there could be room to shine some light on those people's stories," said Nowlin.
In "Blood Stripe," the returning sergeant's family throws a welcome-home party. While everyone else is excited, she drowns her stress with beer after beer.
"I bet Rusty missed you!" says one female friend with a knowing smile.
"I hope so," she replies sheepishly.
"I bet you are ready to start that family now."
A look of concern crosses the sergeant's face. "Almost. Yeah, almost. Just got home ... ."
As the party continues, she drinks more and more. Then a male guest suddenly grabs her from behind, and she lashes out. Rusty has to restrain her as, in a frenzy, she beats the guy to the ground. The party's over.
As the days pass, she withdraws into herself. She gets a job running a road repair crew. Then one day she just takes off, driving north. She's looking for a way to help herself.
Auberjonois said returning vets often struggle to find the support they need.
"We don't have a lot of processes by which we are helping these people re-engage into society," he said. "There's little awareness. We are not seeing the wars, in a lot of ways. There's not ritual, which other cultures have, older cultures have had, whereby we sort of reintegrate warriors. That was a big piece of it for us, that sort of re-integration. What is that process? And for women it presents a whole unique set of challenges, so we were interested in exploring that."
In the film, the woman ends up working at a church camp near Lake Vermilion, looking for solace and connection in the gentle rituals of visitors on a retreat. Even there, she can't relax. She sees menace everywhere.
Something has happened to her, but we never find out what. Nowlin said that's deliberate.
"We are hoping, as it reaches broader audiences, that people can project their experience or their loved one's experience onto her and she can serve as that vessel," she explained.
"Blood Stripe" not only launches the Twin Cities Film Festival, it also launches the festival's Changemaker series. It's the first of five films being shown on the theme of helping veterans. Another is the documentary "Iron Will," by Minnesota producer Tim VandeSteeg, which gets its world premiere at the event.
Nowlin and Auberjonois have enjoyed great festival success with "Blood Stripe," including winning the U.S. Fiction Award at the Los Angeles Festival. For Nowlin, it's just a beginning.
"We feel a tremendous sense of responsibility to this subject matter and to this population," she said. "And really feel a great commitment to try to share the film with the military and our civilians."
Now they are looking at ways to ensure broader distribution.

Shojoshin-in Temple lodging in Mount Koya May 24, 2010
Shojoshin-in Temple is one of the many and also oldest buddhist temple in Mount Koyasan that offers lodging to pilgrims or travelers to the area. Koyasan is a small quaint little town up in the mountains, considered to be the center of Shingon buddhism when it was introduced in Japan.
The temple Shojoshin-in was a great place to overnight and experience the daily routine of buddhist monks. I arrived quite early, but the lady that worked there gladly checked me in and showed me to my traditional style Japanese room, with tatami mat floor, kotatsu table, and a small tv. I had a nice view of the temple garden from my room. Outside the hallway was the toilet and sink room, and on the other end was the bathing area, with a wooden hot tub water that could easily fit 3 people. This temple was very clean.
The location was also perfect, just a few steps from the bus stop, and just next door to the best site in Koyasan in Okunoin cemetery, as well as just walking distance to other Koyasan sites.
Since this was a buddhist temple, they only serve vegetarian dinner and breakfast done in kaiseki style fashion. The food was amazing and delicious. I had second thoughts of eating vegetarian meal, but rest assured it's better than I imagined it to be. The meal is served in a large dining hall.
At 6 am is when the morning prayer ceremony takes place. All I had to do was watch. The deep chanting sound made by the monks was really interesting, and we got to take part in lighting up an incense at the end. Overall I really liked my stay in this temple. It cost me just over $100 U.S. to stay, but this was also the most affordable temple lodging in the area.

Pickup drivers injured in Island Highway crash near Robert's Lake
Nov 14 2011
Two men were hospitalized after a Saturday collision on the Island Highway near Robert's Lake.
A 36-year-old Cumberland man at the wheel of a Toyota pickup was airlifted to a Victoria-area hospital, according to a Sunday report from the Sayward RCMP and North Island Traffic Services, who responded to the call at 11 a.m.
A 29-year-old man from Victoria was in the second vehicle, a GMC Sierra pickup. He was transported by ambulance to Campbell River General Hospital and later released.
Investigators have yet to release the cause of the crash, but said alcohol likely was not a contributing factor.
Police remind drivers to drive cautiously in winter conditions. Snow was falling at the time of the accident.
Anyone who might have witnessed the collision is asked to contact North Island Traffic Services at 250-286-6221 or Sayward RCMP at 250-282-5522.

There seems to be some unwritten rule that says if you pamper troops with good food they'll refuse to fight. This premise does hold some water. I've eaten French field rations and they're great—the French Army, on the other hand…
American soldiers eat vile vittles but are tip top on the military food chain. So maybe the rule is true. Let's look at Army chow for a moment.
We Have Seen the Enemy
American soldiers from the beginning of our nation have had to suffer at the hands of Army cooks. I know… I happen to be one. I joined the Army in 1989 because I needed a job right out of college. Good thing I did, I weighed in at 122 lbs. (I guess Captain Crunch didn't have quite the nutritional value a young athlete needed, nor did ramen.) The mess hall was my savior! As a native New Mexican I grew up eating spicy food but apparently I needed over-cooked, bland (at the same time inexplicably over salted), mushy food in the military… because that's what I got. I did gain weight though, somehow.
Here at home we normally have contractors running the various dining facilities on an Army post. Keep in mind that the old axiom, "your equipment is made by the lowest bidder" applies here as well.
Defense contracts are said to be quite lucrative, maybe because the contractors spend as little as possible on materials—or in our case, ingredients. Or perhaps, food contracts aren't one of those "oh so lucrative" teats to feed on and the contractors have to find ways to trim the fat. Actually, they seem to being adding fat as well as other by products, just saving on quality and actual meat.
Another well known saying goes, "if you can't identify it, don't eat it!" That doesn't, and in fact, can't really apply to soldiers. We don't have much choice in the matter and by the time we get to eat, we're starving, so you learn to eat whatever's on your tray. Tabasco helps.
The rations we get when we're in the field are called MREs or Meals Ready to Eat. The MREs are actually not that bad—in fact they are usually better than what we get at the dining facility. We do not say mess halls anymore. We don't even call them dining facilities, we say "D-FAC"… I guess our hypocrisy is bounded.
When I couldn't stand it anymore I got out and stayed out for almost 12 years. Today I find myself, once again, in uniform. It seemed like a good idea at the time. The MREs have gotten better at least.
Choosing Our Weapon
Some things haven't changed, often we fondly reminisce about some of the great food we've eaten in foreign countries. That and the beautiful girls we've seen are a couple of the main topics as we settle in for our evening repast. On one hand we're trying to distract ourselves from the slimy, salty mush in front of us with the girls and on the other, we're trying desperately to remember what real food looks, smells and tastes like.
Recently I was in Honduras and got to try something new… UGRs. I have no idea what the acronym stands for, none of us did, but we got pretty creative in discussing the options, most of which are unfit for publication. For a month and a half we tried to eat what we were served… we honestly tried. We found that the food itself, which we were told was good, actually seemed to be getting us sick.
We started finding reasons to go out, get away from the compound and find food in Honduras. The Army told us that we shouldn't eat the food, because it was not approved, suggesting that local food was bad and might get us sick. By the end of the exercise we were willing to gamble. We might or might not get sick eating the local food but we absolutely knew that we would get sick if we ate the food the army was trying to feed us. We spent money from our own pockets in order to get proper nutrition.
I lost twenty pounds in the last four months. I guess it's not a bad weight loss program but the sacrifice, especially for a "foodie," was a bit steep. We had to do something, anything… so we went out and bought a hibachi and went grocery shopping. We did what soldiers have done throughout the ages: When confronted with an unresolvable issue, we circumvented the problem.
In the evening, after the too-damn-hot sun went down, we would gather and chat while the meat cooked on the barbeque. Then we would break bread together. Good friends, good food… our morale soared.
Recently reporting from Forward Operating Base, Naco, in Honduras, I'm Matt Hemmer.

Original paper
Temporal variations in epilithic nematode assemblages in lakes of different productivities
Schroeder, Fabian; Peters, Lars; Traunspurger, Walter
Fundamental and Applied Limnology Volume 181 Nr. 2 (2012), p. 143 - 157
published: Aug 1, 2012
ArtNo. ESP141018102005, Price: 29.00 €
The aim of the present study was to examine: (1) the response of nematodes to temporal changes in the periphyton of stony hard-substrates (epilithon) and (2) the distribution of the nematode species among lakes of different productivities. Accordingly, epilithic nematode assemblages of three Swedish lakes with different trophic states were analyzed over a 2-year period. Depending on habitat size and food availability measured as organic material, algal biomass and inorganic material, nematode populations showed distinct temporal patterns, reaching maximum densities up to 1014 ind. cm-2 in spring and lowest densities in winter (minimum abundance 27 ind. cm-2). A comparison of the analyzed lakes revealed clear differences in nematode species composition. A multivariate statistical analysis showed that the distribution of nematode species along the lakes was significantly linked to the nutrient conditions of the lakes and to the algal biomass in the epilithon. Accordingly, several nematode species could be classified as bioindicators of lake trophic state. Whereas, for example, the two dominant algal-feeding species, Punctodora ratzeburgensis and Chromadorina viridis, were dependent on high nutrient levels, the abundance of species belonging to the genera Rhabdolaimus (R. aquaticus, R. terrestris) and Eumonhystera (E. vulgaris, E. simplex, E. pseudobulbosa) correlated negatively with trophic state. Also linked to increasing nutrient conditions was the change in the composition of the nematode feeding types among the lakes, from one dominated by bacterial feeders to one in which algal feeders predominated. The trophic structure of the assemblage changed in parallel, with a larger proportion of predatory species (chewers) in the eutrophic lake than in the two lakes which were more nutrient poor. For suction feeders, the inverse pattern was observed. Our results underline the importance of the epilithon as the habitat of a highly abundant and diverse nematode fauna that is strongly influenced by the trophic state of its resident lake.

Title: Family
Author: Aimee
Beta: Dev
Word Count: 275
Prompt: Family
Rating: PG
Spoilers: A spoiler-free zone.
Pairing: Angel/Cordelia
Summary: Angel watched his family.
Disclaimer: If you recognize them, they belong to Joss Whedon and David Greenwalt. Otherwise, they're mine.
Author's Note: Part of the Journey series.
Angel watched the family he never thought he'd have with a smile. Cordy held their newborn daughter in her arms as she sang her a lullaby. Angel listened to the sweet sound and his smile widened even further. It was a lullaby that his own mother had sung to him over two centuries ago.
He remembered the night he'd told Cordy about the lullaby. She'd been five months pregnant with Hope at the time. He'd been holding her in his arms as they laid in bed, his arms wrapped around her middle when he'd begun to hum. "What's that?" Cordy asked.
"An old Irish lullaby. My mother used to sing in to me."
"It's beautiful," she whispered.
He nodded, a soft smiled on his face as he begun to hum again. No more words had been spoken that night. And now four months later, she was singing it to their daughter.
Angel walked over to where Cordy sat, still singing to their child. He sat down beside her and pulled both her and their sleeping child against him. She looked up, a tender expression shining from within her hazel eyes. "You're beautiful," he told her, all the love he had for her written on his face.
And she was. He'd never seen her look as beautiful as she did just then, with their daughter in her arms. She was breathtaking. "I love you, Angel."
"And I love you, Cordy," he told his wife, a soft smile upon his face.
Cordy smiled and snuggled closer to him. He wrapped his arms tighter around his wife and child. His family. He couldn't imagine a more perfect moment.


text: I recently recieved a new batch AK2i (in the white box). At first it did not show up in the dsi interface screen to load at all. Well, I started messing with it and noticed that if I lightly push it in, very lightly, it shows up. But then when I release the card it disappears. Well, I simply took a very small piece of paper square and slid it in between the case of the card and the cicuit board with the contacts, pushing the contacts out ever so slightly. Works perfect now evey time. This may be the source of some reports of certain games bricking the ak2i, it may have just worked its way so the contacts are not touching properly. Just try this and see if it works, worked for me. Laters

Veterans Travel Farther For Surgery With New Policy
A new rating system now restricts the types of surgery performed at certain Veterans Affairs facilities in five states. The new policy will prompt some veterans to travel farther to reach other VA facilities or civilian hospitals for more complex surgeries. The policy comes after investigations found that surgical mistakes had caused nine deaths in the department's Marion, Ill., hospital a few years ago.
Under the new policy, the VA's 112 hospitals are now ranked according to whether they are able to perform standard, intermediate or complex surgical operations. The VA hospital in Fayetteville, N.C., is one of five facilities restricted to standard surgery only.
At first glance, the Fayetteville building looks more like a hotel than a hospital. Dedicated in 1939, the building stands out with its red brick facade and shiny brass front doors. But most patients these days come in through a modern side entry.
"This is our ambulatory entrance, and this is where the majority of our patients come in to get checked in for their outpatient visits," says the hospital's interim director, Ralph Gigliotti.
Inside, a long line of veterans winds its way through a cramped waiting room and all the way to the door. Under the VA's new guidelines, Gigliotti says, doctors here will no longer perform complex or intermediate procedures like joint replacements and stomach resections. This hospital doesn't have a bad reputation, but like other rural facilities, it has always struggled to recruit enough specialists.
"What we learned from Marion was you had to ensure that the infrastructure you have in place at your facility can support the services that you're offering — the equipment, the personnel, those type of things," Gigliotti says.
The new restrictions on the Fayetteville facility do not bother Wally Tyson, the national vice chairman of Disabled American Veterans. Tyson, who visited the hospital recently for a checkup, says very few complex procedures were performed here anyway.
"You know, it's not really a downgrade. Using 2009 as a reference, less than 4 percent of the surgeries performed at Fayetteville would have been affected by any of the change that had been done; 4 percent — that's very minor," Tyson says.
But that percentage is important to VA officials, who want to make sure the right surgeon performs the correct procedure in the optimal setting.
"It's not rational to think that we need heart surgery in every facility. But we do need to be able to provide at least standard level care in every facility," says the VA's national director of surgery, Dr. William Gunnar.
Gunnar says it's safer and more efficient to send patients at smaller and more rural hospitals elsewhere for complicated operations.
"Having said that, you can do a lot of surgery in a standard facility," Gunnar says. "You know, you have anesthesia support, you have a general surgeon, a urologist, you may or may not have an orthopedic surgeon — and that's the core group of people, and you can do a lot surgery and a lot of good for veterans in that rural community."
Gunnar says the mistake in Marion, Ill., was that one or two surgeons performed procedures they were not equipped to handle.
Robert Shelly, 43, doesn't mind the extra travel time to visit a facility that is fully outfitted. He's a former Marine with a bad back who relies on the VA for medical care.
"Things do happen in hospitals. It's a gamble sometimes, but going to see a specialist and you know this is what this guy does every day of the week, I'd rather go see him than anybody else," Shelly says.
Shelly says traveling farther is worth it to get the specialist he needs.

Spirit-filled evangelizers are evangelizers who pray and work. …We do well to keep in mind the early Christians and our many brothers and sisters throughout history who were filled with joy, unflagging courage and zeal in proclaiming the Gospel. ...The primary reason for evangelizing is the love of Jesus which we have received, the experience of salvation which urges us to ever greater love of him. What kind of love would not feel the need to speak of the beloved, to point him out, to make him known? ...There is nothing more precious which we can give to others. (Evangelii Gauidum 262-264)
World Youth Days have become a great gift to the Church and lasting legacy of St. John Paul II. This grace-filled gathering came to Sydney, Australia in 2008, with the world convening on the beautiful shores of the "Great Southland of the Holy Spirit" to welcome Pope Benedict and the youth of the world. In preparation for WYD 2008, Cardinal George Pell and then Auxiliary Bishop Anthony Fisher, OP, invited the Dominican Sisters of St. Cecilia to the Archdiocese of Sydney to assist in the archdiocesan World Youth Day Office. At the conclusion of World Youth Day, the invitation was extended for the community to remain in the Archdiocese to become involved in teaching and university chaplaincy. The sisters currently teach grades 7-12 at Trinity Catholic College in Regents Park and Auburn, with one sister serving on the chaplaincy team at the University of Sydney.
In addition to the teaching apostolate, the sisters are involved in numerous initiatives to promote vocations, support family life, and foster the new evangelization. Throughout the year, the sisters host vocation retreats, retreats for women of all ages, and days of recollection. They have also been blessed with opportunities to travel throughout Australia and New Zealand, attending retreats, witnessing to religious life, and giving talks. Since the community began its mission in Australia in 2008, numerous young women have given their 'yes' to the Lord in responding to His call to religious life as a Dominican Sister of St. Cecilia. The Congregation is grateful to be serving in the Archdiocese of Sydney.

An arrest warrant has been issued for Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry officer Svetlana Colakovic after she failed to appear in court yesterday.
The DAFF, formerly known as AQIS, has said previously Colakovic was the only officer targeted by the Australian Federal Police.
The 36-year-old from Caringbah, in Sydney's south, has been charged with corruption and intending to dishonestly influence another officer.
"Svetlana Colakovic did dishonestly receive a benefit, to wit, three Disney On Ice tickets, for herself to influence Australian customs officials," court documents state.
The alleged incidents took place sometime between June and July 2011.
She is one of 10 people, including two customs officers, charged following a two-year investigation.
The accused would allegedly meet the smugglers at the plane and escort them through the customs area.

Life lessons humble suspended players on high school football team
After the entire football team from Roosevelt, Utah, is suspended for discipline problems, players accept punishment in spirit of giving.
Matt Labrum doesn't want this story to be about him, so that's his second outlandish demand in a week. The first one, maybe you heard about: Labrum is the football coach at Union High in Roosevelt, Utah, and after some discipline issues on the team he demanded their jerseys. He was suspending the Cougars.
All of them.
Labrum and his staff handed each player a piece of paper after their game last Friday night. It was a prepared statement that said a lot of things -- harsh things, honest things, tough things -- but the sentence that got the most attention was this one:
Whole team -- suspended. Ever heard of such a thing? No? Neither had anyone around that part of Utah, which is why the suspension of the Union Cougars became a story in the Deseret News. And once it was there, it was everywhere. The networks wanted to talk to Labrum. National websites. USA Today. All of them, all of us, wanted to talk to the wacky football coach with the notion that football is nothing without character and respect.
By the time I found him, Matt Labrum was tired of talking about it. And he'd never wanted to talk about himself in the first place.
"The last thing I want is for this to be about me," he emailed me. "I'll talk to you -- if you make it about the players."
Um. What? Not sure that's possible. The star of this story, the hero, is the football coach. The players? The ones who were acting out in class, skipping school, making poor grades? The ones who started cyber-bullying another student, ganging up on the kid on a social media site -- a textbook example of the strong and numerous picking on the weak and isolated? I didn't want to make this story about the players.
But then I called a few of them. Talked to some of their parents. Then a few more. Found out exactly how the Union Cougars have been spending their time since being suspended.
And now I'm thinking Matt Labrum might be onto something. Sure, I could make this about the coach.
But I'd rather make it about the players.

Karter Rook shoveled pig crap.
That's how Rook paid his penance -- well, that's how he started to pay his penance -- for being part of the Union High football team. Understand, Karter Rook isn't necessarily a bad kid, and he seems actually like quite a nice one. Lots of these kids are no doubt good and decent people, but what was happening at Union High was too pervasive for the coach to pick and choose who to punish. Besides which, Matt Labrum didn't know exactly who had been behaving the worst.
He knew which kids were acting up in class, who had skipped some school, whose grades were slipping. Labrum teaches gym at Union, so if any of his player have issues at school, he's going to hear about it.
It was the bullying that drove Labrum to act. It was done anonymously, on a social networking site called Ask.fm, but the victim went to a Union High guidance counselor and laid out the evidence that suggested the tormenters were members of the football team.
Enough, Labrum decided. Enough. He met with his coaching staff a few days before Union's game last Friday against Judge Memorial Catholic High, and deep into the night they kicked around disciplinary ideas until finally settling on this one:
Everyone's off the team.
There were 50 kids on the varsity -- the freshman team wasn't affected, Labrum says -- and as they cooled down in the locker room after Union's loss to Judge Memorial, each of them was handed a piece of paper that started like this:
"Gentlemen, we are not pleased with how our football brothers are representing OUR family, school, community, alumni, and yourselves."
The letter went on to say, "We want change -- and are going to make changes now."
First, the jerseys. Turn them in. To get them back -- to be reinstated to the team -- players would have to perform service for their family. And they would have to perform service for their community. They also would have to report for a two-hour study hall after school, "and we better have specific items to work on," the letter said.
All of that went down late Friday night. Sophomore offensive tackle Karter Rook went home after the game, went to bed, woke up the next morning and grabbed a shovel. His family has a pigpen. And it was filthy.
"Cleaning the pigpen was something I was going to do," said his mother, Jennifer Rook, "but Karter just realized, 'I need to contribute more.' Now we have the best looking pigpen in the county."
That was Saturday. And that's just one kid. There are 49 others on the team, and each spent the day working around his house -- and documenting it, with pictorial proof -- to show Labrum.

About six months ago some jerk in a car crashed through the fence in Rick Nielsen's front yard. It's an eyesore, and an embarrassment. See, Nielsen isn't just another citizen of Roosevelt -- he's the principal of the high school. And for six months his yard has looked like, well, like somebody drove a car through his fence.
The principal's son, Gavin Nielsen, is a senior running back for the Cougars.
On Saturday morning, Gavin fixed the fence.
And then he started looking for something else to do. The family's deck also had been a mess, dangerous in spots where the boards are missing, so Gavin grabbed some wood and a drill and he fixed that, too.
Rick Nielsen had known about Labrum's plan to suspend the team before the team did. Labrum had run the idea past him one day earlier, and as the school principal -- and a father -- Nielsen loved it.
"After the game we came home and Gavin wanted to talk about it," Rick Nielsen said. "We were up way, way late, and he said he'd been doing lot of thinking and decided: 'You know what? We can be better. And I can be better as a leader.' After a week of this, they've all seen how they can improve. That's the most amazing thing about this story -- the impact it's had on the kids."
Well, that might not be the most amazing thing.

The Uintah Basin Rehabilitation and Senior Villa is a nursing home in Roosevelt. It's called "The Villa," and the high school kids know all about it. They know enough to know they don't want to live there, or even think about it there.
Matt Labrum wanted his team to visit patients there.
The Villa is small, a 15-bed facility that caters to patients with Alzheimer's, and it would be overwhelmed by 50 high school football players. So Labrum sent some kids to The Villa and the rest to Parkside Manor, another nursing home in Roosevelt.
And the kids apparently loved it.
"Jordan said he had a great time," said Andrea Gurr, whose son -- Jordan -- is a junior center. "He got to meet a couple people at The Villa and played some games with them. He was telling me about a gentleman that just seemed so happy to have a visitor. Jordan came back and said, 'Yeah, we probably should do that again.' "
Karter Rook went to Parkside Manor, where he tried to help one resident with her computer's slow internet -- to no avail; she was using dial-up -- and where he was taken aback by her screensaver. A picture of four men in military uniforms, during World War II. It was four brothers, and one was taller than the rest. That was her late husband.
"It was humbling -- a humbling experience," Karter Rook said. "I know there were people [on the team] who didn't like the idea of going originally, but we had a good time. The whole week has been fantastic. It was great in every possible way. I think we all grew as people and we learned the meaning of service."
• • •
OK, so you have part of the timeline. The Cougars' game against Judge Memorial was Friday. They were suspended that night. On Saturday and Sunday they did projects for their family. The trip to the nursing home was Tuesday. On Wednesday the players had that two-hour study hall during their normal practice time, then gathered in the locker room and were reinstated. Well, most of them. A handful of players have grades that still need improvement, Labrum said; their reinstatement could come later.
On Thursday morning the Cougars met before school at 6:50 a.m. for their first and only practice all week for their game Friday. It's homecoming.
So that's the schedule, except for ... oh, right. Except for Monday.
Well, after school on Monday the Cougars went to Roosevelt Junior High to pull weeds and clean windows. That night Union High held its "Unity in Athletics" banquet, an annual gathering where the school honors several people -- a coach, a former player, a faculty member and maybe a community member or two. The football team is invited, and it normally eats dinner with everyone else.
This wasn't a normal week.
This time the football coach suggested his players show up at the banquet, but not to be feted -- to serve. And they did, all 50 of them, dressed in slacks and shirts and ties. They set up tables and chairs and served food and refilled drinks. They got whatever needed to be gotten, and did whatever needed to be done. A local restaurant, Café Rio, had provided sweet barbacoa pork enchiladas, and eventually those enchiladas were gone.
The players never ate. They were too busy serving.
"Good stuff," said Jennifer Rook, giggling mischievously. "The boys totally missed out."
No, I don't think they did.

"Creating jobs" is a civic leader litany in economic development mythology, as in, "We must create private sector jobs." A further piece of the litany — the next verse, I suppose — is that the private sector jobs must be of "quality."
Behind the focus on private sector jobs is the myth that private sector economics are stable, and yet they sometimes depend on the public sector, conjuring images of an addled citizenry mainlining government dollars through a tube. For all this private sector talk, rest assured that the powers-that-be got very excited when the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center talked about putting a campus in Artesia. In 1989, the government bought a former college campus. The center is still in Artesia.
The assumption is that the private sector is better, and I totally agree, but as to stability, I doubt the private sector wins. My conversation with former Rep. Heather Wilson during her recent Senate race touched on the topic. It is nearly impossible to eliminate a government activity, Wilson said.
Private sector activity, operating in the turmoil of Joseph Schumpeter's "creative destruction," comes and goes all the time. In my neighborhood, what was a Blockbuster video rental store has been vacant for several years. Recent remodeling activity suggests that someone believes economic potential exists in the location.
The construction jobs came from individuals having ideas, not from any powers-that-be. Individuals will fill the jobs in the remodeled space.
Another tale of job creation by individuals comes from the Navajo Nation. As told in Sally Ooms' new book, "Finding Home," (findinghomestories.com) producers of crafts, mostly jewelry, created the Antelope Trails Vendors Organization to bring some order and scale to roadside sales by members of the Navajo Gap Chapter House in Arizona. With innovations such as larger sales sites, business has increased.
On a larger scale, my guess (though I don't know) is that the new potash mine proposed in Lea County by Intercontinental Potash Corp. started with company geologists. Even more likely is that senior management has a policy of seeking new deposits and the geologists responded.
On the economic stability myth, the Hewlett Packard customer service facility in Rio Rancho was hailed as a solid addition to the local economy, large corporation and all that. Colorado Springs might disagree. It lost one of the operations consolidated to Rio Rancho, where HP corporate turmoil meant the anticipated 1,350 jobs didn't happen and there were layoffs.
Sometimes bright ideas from individuals take a while to develop. In the 1970s, Charlie Crowder conceived Santa Teresa as a cross-border industrial area with a large residential component. Crowder turned out to have far more ideas than money. The dream persisted through various owners. Santa Teresa booms now. The most recent announcement came from powers-that-be, such as governors. They talked of plans for infrastructure that will enable the dream.
Creating the environment is the task best performed by powers-that-be from chambers of commerce to government. Environment can be physical infrastructure, such as roads and sewers, or atmospheric, rules and regulations or attitude, welcoming of large operations or little guys.
Atmosphere can be negatively affected. Consider comments about the Santa Fe-area Ortiz Gold Project of Santa Fe Gold Corp. Rep. Brian Egolf, Santa Fe Democrat, denounced the project in terms nearly too precious to believe. Egolf wants to protect "environmentally friendly activities we've been nurturing and growing here (such as) arts and tourism," according to the Mountain View Telegraph. With that emphasis life would be simpler. We wouldn't need potash mines or law enforcement training or national laboratories or much else.

Only days after DaimlerChrysler said it would scrap the Plymouth brand and with it the world's only production hot-rod, the Prowler, comes news that two more landmark US performance models will disappear.
The General Motors V8 two-door twins, the Chevrolet Camaro (pictured) and Pontiac Firebird, also seem certain to cease production when the Prowler bites the dust at the end of the 2001 model year.
The Camaro was never officially sold here, but many examples have been imported privately since the late '60s. Bob Jane drove a Camaro to victory in the Australian Touring Car Champion-ships of '71 and '72 and, in the hands of Kevin Bartlett, a Z28 variant set pole position at Bathurst in '80 and '81.
First seen in the US in 1967 and aimed squarely at the Ford Mustang, the Camaro and Firebird have remained stalwarts in the sports coupe market. But that segment has shrunk in the past five years and sales of both have weakened - so did GM's resolve to keep the coupes fresh and up to date. Ford, on the other hand, continued to work on the Mustang.
As a result, the Mustang keeps posting healthy sales - more than 145,000 so far this year, against just over 64,000 combined for the Camaro and Firebird.
As GM and DaimlerChrysler go into cut-back mode, Ford is planning to relaunch the Thunderbird and rebuild the Lincoln brand, itself the subject of closure rumours only a few years ago.
The Camaro and Firebird names could resurface in the future, but GM has no current plans to reprise either.
Meanwhile, DaimlerChrysler has admitted just how few Prowlers it has sold. When the production-ready version was unveiled three years ago, the maker claimed it had 90,000 sales enquiries, yet fewer than 4,000 have been sold this year. Even the 12-month waiting list quoted a year ago has disappeared.
The demise of the Plymouth brand has been long predicted; it was assumed that the Prowler would be rebadged as a Chrysler. The company now says this will not happen. In short, the Prowler was enough to temporarily invigorate the Plymouth brand but not enough to save it - or to survive in its own right.
A bright note: a GT version of the Chrysler PT Cruiser - a retro-styled but practical five-door wagon - has already been shown even though the standard car will not go on sale until next year.

Greenslade + Thabo Mbeki
German industrial giant MAN Ferrostaal has issued an unequivocal denial that it made payments to South Africa's president Thabo Mbeki, the ANC leader Jacob Zuma and other ANC members following a report in the country's best-selling newspaper, the Sunday Times. MAN Ferrostaal said: "These allegations are wrong and entirely unfounded." Legal action is being considered. (Via IOL)
South Africa's public broadcaster has defended its controversial withdrawal of a documentary on the president, Thabo Mbeki, in a full-page newspaper advert. "At no stage was any pressure, political or otherwise, exerted on our editorial or legal staff," read the advert, which ran in the Saturday Star and was signed by SABC group chief executive officer Dali Mpofu. In a lengthy explanation, he detailed a range of legal objections to the defamatory nature of the documentary. (Via IOL: Top Stories)
Why was Mbeki TV documentary pulled? South Africa's press freedom body, the Freedom of Expression Institute, has asked the SABC to explain why it did not screen last week's scheduled TV documentary on President Thabo Mbeki. Was it political interference or self-censorship? (Via IOL: South Africa)

Cheap flights to Tasmania (), Australia
Travelers taking cheap flights to Tasmania are spoiled for choice when it comes to destinations and activities. This small island is remarkably diverse and wonderfully wild.
Hobart, the capital, has the heritage as well as the stunning setting and, within a 90-minute drive, beautiful, bird-full Bruny Island and Port Arthur, the historic former penal settlement. Along the east coast - which has the mildest weather - the beaches are pristine, white-sanded and lapped by the bluest of seas.
Launceston, Tasmania's second city, is in the north. It boasts the Cataract Gorge and, thanks to the bounty of the Tamar Valley, a reputation as a foodie city. Across the island, to the west, small villages give way to the Tarkine wilderness and the World Heritage Area, which accounts for about 20 per cent of Tasmania.
The national parks in the World Heritage Area include Southwest National Park, the Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park, the Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park, the Walls of Jerusalem National Park, the Hartz Mountain National Park and Mole Creek Karst National Park. Few places are as unexplored as Tasmania's national parks.
Tasmania climate
Tasmanians like to say that the island gets all four seasons in one day, but it has a mild, maritime, climate with plenty of rainfall. On the east coast, Hobart, for example, gets an average of 25 inches, making it Australia's second-driest capital city (after Adelaide). The west coast gets four times that, about 94 inches per year.December-March are the warmest months with temperatures between 63 and 73 degrees. May through August is winter; temperatures hover between 37 and 52 degrees.
Best Time to Fly to Tasmania
Summer (December to February) is high season, when most travelers take cheap flights to Tasmania.
Winter - May to August - is low season.
The autumn and spring months - March and November - are shoulder season, but the weather can be unpredictable. However, if you brave the elements you can save on flights and accommodation.

Gak? Goo? Slime? Say what? Are you looking for something fun and new to do with your little ones? Then homemade goo (aka gak and slime) is for YOU! We hopped on over to Steve Spangler Science and found their awesome recipe for homemade goo! We even created a little printable for you to refer back to, you can download it at the end of this post!
1) In a large bowl, empty the 8oz bottle of liquid glue.
2) Fill the empty glue bottle with water, and pour it into the glue. Mix the two together. If you want to add food coloring (which we love doing) add it to the glue and water mixture now. Our little Owls chose to dye our goo blue.
3) Grab your empty plastic cup. Measure 1/2 cup of warm water and pour it into your cup.
4) Measure 1 tsp of Borax and pour it into your plastic cup filled with hot water. Stir the two together (it is okay if all of the Borax does not dissolve).
5) Now slowly pour the Borax/warm water mixture, into your glue mixture (you may not need to use the entire Borax/water mixture). The glue mixture will start to clump together and get stringy. Use your hands to take the big ball of forming goo and squeeze the water out. It is up to you how sticky you want your goo to be!
6) GO PLAY and experiment!
7) When you are done playing, store your goo in an airtight container to play with again and again!
Some little Toddler Owls are still learning what things can and can not go in their mouths. When we played with our little Toddler Owl, we decided to put our goo in a see-through zip-top plastic bag, and then we taped that bag down to the table.
Our little Toddler Owl enjoyed squishing and poking the goo. This activity is a great time to introduce fun sounds to your little one and to encourage verbal imitation which is a fancy word for "I talk, you talk." You can also target other vocabulary such as "squish", "goo", "squeeze", "push" and more! Make it fun! The sillier you are, the better!
Preschool Owls love to simply play, cut, and touch goo! We had our Preschool and Elementary Owls use play dough tools to cut, mold, and try new things with their goo. Which helps with their fine motor skills and exercises their imagination. You can even encourage descriptive words when you ask your young one how the goo "feels" between their fingers. This activity is just a fun, open-ended play-time for these little Owls. In fact, our little Preschool and Elementary Owls played with this new batch of goo for over an hour!
When you are done playing, have your Preschool Owl draw a picture of what they did with their goo and make up a story about the picture. We had our little Preschool Owl shape her goo into a ball and see if it bounced (note: she had hot pink clear sparkle glitter goo). At the end of our activity, she drew a picture of her ball. It was a great way to review her shapes!
Our Elementary Owl, also liked playing and squishing the goo. He liked trying new things with the goo. Did his bounce? Did it ooze off of the table into a bowl below? Our Elementary Owl, practiced shapes by using play dough scissors to cut shapes into his goo. Elementary Owls can even record how high the "goo" balls bounce! The endings to this play scheme is endless.. that's why we always encourage open-ended play!
After playing, have your Elementary Owl write down their "goo"bservations. Ask them to write a sentence or two (depending upon their age) about their goo experience. This is a great way to practice site words and spelling. Also have them also draw a picture of their various "goo"bservations. For older Elementary Owls, they could even create a short story about their goo! The possibilities are endless!
Add little toys, numbers or shapes and play "I spy!" There are so many different things that YOU can do with GOO! What would you do?
First, we have found that when you use white liquid glue, that your goo will be very stretchy and smooth. Next time, change it up and use clear glue (or in our case, clear glue with glitter in it)! With clear glue goo (try saying that ten times fast!), roll it into small balls and watch them bounce!
Or if your little one needs sensory input during homework or reading time, let them squeeze a ball of the clear glue goo, because the clear glue goo is very similar to a little stress relief ball.
Always remember to have fun…and with goo, that is pretty easy to do! We also made a downloadable PDF recipe of the GOO for you HERE. Enjoy!
