A Circa and Merrigong Theatre Company Co-Production. Created by Yaron Lifschitz and the Circa Ensemble.
Landscape with Monsters is a breathtakingly original circus-theatre creation from internationally acclaimed company Circa.
Yaron Lifschitz and the fearless Circa ensemble have forged a new type of circus. There are no traditional circus acts, no trapezes and not a red nose in sight. Instead, from a world of simple wooden boxes, a hard floor and tall metal structures, the meeting between ourselves and our environment is thrillingly brought to life.
Landscape with Monsters tells the story of post-industrial cities now in decay. Metal and wooden objects intersect with fast-paced acrobatics. This intensely physical new show is at once humorous and brutal, savage and beautiful.
Set to a soundtrack that mixes popular song and electronic music, Landscape with Monsters is bursting with the thrills that are the hallmarks of Circa performances. Emotions and bodies intertwine until we discover the monsters in the landscape just might be ourselves…

After that, Barney now had a new mission -- survive the winter. | And survive the war too, but he wasn't a part of that, Barney thought to himself.
One day, I got on the bus. | The dreariness of the wrecked old machine weighed on me. | I was 70% sure there was a body on the back seats, there was chewing gum stuck to all the stop buttons, it made a creaking sound like the chassis might splinter if someone said something mean to it, and the driver was impervious to any kind of joy. | And that was just the bus. The driver looked like a skeleton with a beard and sunglasses, wearing dirty clothing, he never spoke at all, and he wouldn't let you on unless you gave him exact change.
It was hard to be honest. I wasn't sure how to say it. But one day, one Friday evening after little thinking, I decided to speak out. And I shared out, even though nobody could possibly understand me. I explained the secret as best as I could.
At the end of the alley, Maeve stopped running, and glanced over her shoulder to see if the wombat was still chasing her. | Catching her breath, she gazed far and saw no sign of any wombats, until suddenly she was rushed with an army of wombats. | She ducked into a nearby gymnasium and locked the door behind her. The building seemed empty beside her, though she could hear the skittering from outside. Maeve noticed that the upper walls were lined with windows. "They couldn't could they?"
Once upon a time, there was a girl named Kate. Kate was smart. She was brave. She was 11 years old, and she was a detective. | She didn't need more than a magnifying glass and a beret borrowed from her granddad's closet to be the best detective on the block. The only problem was, she had no cases. | One day at the local park, Kate noticed something floating near the edge of a pond. She took off her shoes and waded through the cool water. It was a clear glass bottle, and inside sat a note! She was very curious. "I must find a way to get it out!"
One day I went to the store | I looked through the front window. It was all dark insideclosed for the evening. All I could admire was the great beauty there before me on display. I'd always wanted one, but never could quite get my hands on it. There it stood behind a glass wall.
I always wondered why my grandfather never shared he had been a pilot. | You see, my grandfather never actually got his pilot's license. Heck, when he enlisted, he lied about being 18.
"Are you stupid?"- In beautiful handwriting, those were the words that started the letter. | "Yes"- He replied. "But it is you that make me behave like one." | "People do crazy things for love," he continued. "Like the poor sap I used to be- the one who climbed the school flagpole for you. But that man is gone now."
Here's a little story about trying a thing. I like that it only allows 250 chars.
I woke up that morning the same way I always did. It was dark. It was cold. I wished the day was over already. Typical day. | I hit the alarm, rolled out of bed, and brushed my teeth. But I heard an odd sort of humming noise from the living room. Cautiously, I went to investigate it, to find a large, blue police box parked on my carpet.
Another Thursday, another murder with the same MO as the last five. It was tough work, being the sheriff of the a town like this. Most other places have to deal with bandits and cattle-rustlers, but over here....well, mysterious killers are the norm. | This one was a real piece of work, the sheriff thought as he leaned into his chair. A month ago, the corpse of Father Callahan was found at the church, apparently beaten to death by one man. More bodies turned up every week since then, all the same
once in a world too far away... | A strange band of travelers, composed of a muscular red creature, a nymph-like child, a vole wearing a poncho, a fat king with tentacles for legs, and a Spartan warrior (or what looked like one), crossed the Desert of Wind, searching for shelter. | The muscular creature turned to the king. "Your majesty, why are we visiting such a Talv-forsaken desert as this?" King Grabilo wiggled his tentacles in the air, a royal sign that the question was unwanted. "Beyond the Desert of Wind lies the ruins." | "The legendary ruins of the Empire Under Ground?" The Spartan-like warrior chimed in. "King Grabilo, this is a waste of a warrior! Are there no scientists under your command?" The king's tentacles stopped moving, a royal sign of seriousness. "I do." | "The team of scientists investigating these ruins have mysteriously disappeared," the king said, "I have decided to take Bortak, the strongest man in my kingdom, you, the captain of my elite warriors, and a guide to find them."
I woke up in a hospital | with zombie staring down at me. He looked me and said, "Hello sir! About time, you woke up. You've missed all the fun." He then offered me a cup with something hot. "Hot tea sir!" | To say I was confuse. Would be understatement. My speech pattern bad. Even in head. Was this the onset of zombie virus? I heard so much about. | I turned. To the zombie. "I sorry. What's happening? To me." Zombie smiled. "Not thinking straight? That is one of the signs you're turning into a zombie. There's no cure for it, but we here at the Phoenix Foundation can help you keep your mind."
This is a story about a wandering ghost called Megi. Megi is a lost soul from centuries ago always on the move, wandering around looking for misheivious thing to do. One day Megi aproaches a teenage he see's reading a old torn book under a tree. | What Megi did not see was that it was a book on Ghost Hunting. Hunting ghosts to send them back where they should be. Not that the living would know where souls actually need to go, but who is anyone to tell the human race they're wrong. | The boy in question--Jacob--was thoroughly absorbed in the reading. "In order to hunt ghosts, you must first learn to sense emotions. Okay, that doesn't sound too hard. Let me try that....focus....observe all...and I detect a feeling of curiosity!"
Tsim Sha Tsui loosely reminded me of my days in Soweto, when we used to kick around clay bricks past unmoving human goal posts. But Soweto is no different from Teaneck, New Jersey. | Unfortunately, now Tsim Sha Tsui is a total snake rat, so instead of kicking clay bricks at other people for some reason, I kick him in his two-faced-ass, fake-ass, bitch-ass, poser-ass dick. | With every kick to Tsim Sha Tsui's gonads, I start thinking of how this all happened--why I even agreed to play his game, and how we ended up enemies.
In a world with not justice a paladin awoke with a start to discover that his sword was gone. | He then looked at his surroundings and realized that not only was his sword gone; he is surrounded by men having weapons pointed at him. | The paladin smiled. "Oh, hello, my name's Benedict and I'm a paladin. Could somebody explain why my sword is gone and you're all pointing spears and crossbows at me?" "Shut up!" one of the soldiers said, "By order of Count Voltaire, you shall die!" | "What?" Benedict asked. "Why would a count order a bunch of soldiers to kill a paladin? I mean, aside from the fact that he's probably evil!" "That's precisely why!" the captain said, "Count Voltaire fears that a paladin will come to destroy him!"
kjhjl fds fd fdafda fdfdaf fdefa dfd fafdffdafdf | Those were the words typed out currently on my screen. The deadline for this poem was tomorrow, and in a last ditch attempt to ascertain if there was indeed a God, I had rolled my head across the keyboard to see what would appear. | I leaned back expecting nothing but a group of jumbled letters. My face paled when I saw that I was wrong. To my utter shock and horror, I saw the words that changed my life forever. "Look behind you." | I did as the single sentence of clarity among a sea of random words ordered, and behind me, I saw a.....actually, I don't know how to describe it. In fact, I'm not even sure "it" is the right pronoun to use for it....
Jeremy was try to remain calm, but it was hard considering he could suddenly talk to dogs. | Not wanting anything to do with these talking dogs, Jeremy tried his very best not to be near any dogs. But a few days later he found a injured stray dog on the road, and couldn't bare to see it in pain, so he picked it up and brought it home. | "Thanks for saving me," the dog said, "I really appreciate it." Jeremy sighed. "Try not to talk to me, dog," he said, "I don't want anyone knowing about my gift. Honestly, if you ask me, it's a pain in the neck."
Everyone said you can't hear sound in Space. They were wrong. All he could hear were Sara's screams. | But then I realized that WAS FUCKING STUPID OF COURSE I DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING IT'S FUCKING SPACE WHAT AM I FUCKING DUMB? | I woke up. Oh, God, that stupid dream again. It wouldn't even make a good story, and I would know, because I publish a magazine of sci-fi stories, and that one wouldn't fly. Today's audiences are all about realism, even in science fiction.
His breath made no effort to hide the temperature of this particularly frigid night. Had he not taken the appropriate precaution of sporting his sheepskin-lined hunt gloves, the consequences for his digits may have been bleak. | As he tredged through the snow each step became more difficult and his strides shorter. He regretted agreeing to this experiment. Attempting to walk straight legged he tried to keep his bare skin from brushing against his now frozen pant legs. | He had to piss. He had a few options: pissing on himself would provide some warmth but it wouldn't last long; he could try to hold it, but the hut was still miles away; but he dreaded what might happen if he exposed his member to the frigid air. | In this frozen landscape, one always chooses warmth, even if it's fleeting. Andres let his bladder go and felt his thighs throb with the unfamiliar sensation. Suddenly, he had a boner. Now this was a problem. | He looked over at a tree a couple yards away. He could see two squirrels vigorously pleasuring each other. "This'll do nicely", he said, unzipping his pants.
"POP" Another Pimple fell prey to the wrath of the pinch. | I took a step back from the mirror and considered my life. Had I really just enjoyed popping a pimple? No that couldn't be... And so it wasn't. Good luck building off that lol
There once was a lion named Roar. He left his pride in 1983 to pursue a career in mane insurance. He had no luck. Nowadays, he makes his living organizing suburbanites' closets. | Unfortunately, Roar the Lion found a game called League of Legends. To this day, his screams can be heard all across the land.
He was going to buy this house. He HAD to. It was the cheapest residence one could get, and what's more it was very inviting. Who cared about the rumors? It was all unfounded garbage anyways. | However, after thinking about it for more than two seconds, he realized that he wasn't finna die and so he bought a perfectly affordable house on the complete other side of town free from penis-stealing dolphins.
"This actually isnt all that uncomfortable" he thought as he looked around the tree. He looked over his head, through the leaves and he could see the wheelchair wedged another fifteen feet higher and slightly to his left. | He decided he didn't need the wheelchair and climbed down from the tree. He reached into his pocket to grab his pocket watch, but in its place was around a pound of weed, so he pulled his pipe out and smoked that shit up lmao.
Jeremy took Sandy by the hand and ran up the dunes towards the beach house. She laughed and said "slow down! The cupcakes aren't going anywhere!". | He smiled cheekily at Sandy and said, "I know. I just wanted an excuse to hold your hand.". Sandy looked at Jeremy and raised an eyebrow, "Really, Jer? That all you got?". "Oh, come on! That was a good one!" Jeremy whined. Sandy chuckled in response.
I bought an apartment days ago and decided it was time to move in. My soon to be roommate said it was fine with me moving in any time. I packed the little things I have and made my way to the apartment. I took the key under the mat and open the door.
Katie went to the store to get a gallon of milk. On her way she ran into an old friend from high school, Chelsea. | Chelsea though shouldn't have been alive. She had died in a car accident eons ago. Katie dropped her milk and ran for home. Chelsea trailing behind her. | Katie made it home five minutes later, ran up two flights of stairs to her apartment and looked the door. She looked out the door peephole and saw nothing. Feeling relieved she turned around and sat on her couch to calm down, when suddenly , | something felt cold beside her. She looked, and there she was, Chelsea. Looking at her with a blank expression on her face. She screamed, stood up, and ran for her bedroom. She locked the door and backed away from it and sat down on her bed.
I starred at him in horror. "What have you done?", i asked. | "I made you a cake. Damn it Mary, why can't you appreciate anything I do for you?", the man replied, standing in the kitchen with a cake in his arms and a burning oven behind him. | "Oh I appreciate you making me a cake, Chuck. I just don't appreciate you burning our oven and possibly our house down!" I tell him as I ran through the house looking for something to use to cool the fire down. "Mary! I, uh.."
Taylor crouched down behind the bushes as she saw people gathering about in a clearing in the forest. She was new in town and the forest was just behind her house so she decided to explore and walk around the forest.
Mickey had just finished eating the rice. Now it was time for biscuits and he knew just where to find them. | Mickey threw on a jacket, hopped on his 3-speed bike and pedaled madly to Aunt Fay's house. He made a quick stop to pick some tigerlilies, her favorite flower. Turning into her driveway, the scent of warm biscuits wafted to Mickey's nose. He drooled. | He hurriedly got off his bike and barged in to his aunt's house. "Mickey!" his aunt said, "I hope you don't just barge in to houses like that, young man!". "No, auntie. I promise I don't!" Mickey said, eyeing the stacks of biscuits on the table.
The sun was high above her as she wandered further into the forest. If she could find the cabin, for tonight she would at least be safe from it, or at least whatever it was. | After hours of aimlessly wandering about, she hasn't a luck of finding the cabin. She became more anxious by the minute, worrying about what's to come.
It was 26 months since the world ended. King Barney is now ensconced in his throne room with his ugly, toothy wife - surrounded by his ruthless and endless horde of giant, mutant teletubbies."I Love You", the world anthem, blares out from everywhere. | From the corner of his eye, the king a pink teletubby who was gently snoring away behind a pillar instead of standing at attention like everyone else.
I've always been by myself since I was 16. I never really thought that my life will come to this. No parents, no friends, just me and my own thoughts to keep me company. I came to accept my situation a long time ago. | I stared hard at the bank loan form. The word "guarantor" seems to shout out at me. 'Who will be willing to take the risk for me?' I wondered.
It was a dark and stormy night. | Although alone in the house, Kitty did not feel frightened. The fire was burning brightly and soothing music oozed slowly from the radio. Kitty expected a quiet, uneventful evening of purring on her rug while watching the kids play their games.
I left the house knowing that something was not quite right. | But I shook off the feeling thinking that it's probably just me being paranoid over nothing.
"Two years ago, I never thought about collaborative fiction. Now I've taken part in an experiment, I can not foresee where it will lead me." That's what he told me 3 weeks ago. He died yesterday. I have to find out what happened... | but first, I need to shut off the gas to the hot water heater.
Once upon a time, long, long time ago, there lived a space boy. His name was Freddy. Freddy Chesterton and he looked weary.

Episode 9 Horror Movie When I was a kid, horror movie hands down is the last thing I want to see
Hello, my name is David | David is my name. I live in a field in Yorkshire, where I hunt wild game. | I don't hunt for roe deer though, not since one has saved my life during the war. It's a long story full of blood and tears.
It was a dark and cheerful night | ; Everyone was sitting around the campfire, singing songs and roasting marshmallows.
She had no lower jaw. She was born without one. | A real shame, because she'd be a quite stunning individual otherwise. She had
How exactly did you mangae to still spell my name incorrectly when it's written in the URL? Nice Page, Marcel will like it I'd daresay Me and Linux hmm soon | The name's Lynn X actually, no relation.
My first and second arrests were not exactly shocking, but I must admit I didn't see the third one coming. | I was asleep when the police came to arrest me. | The pounding knocks on the door jolted me awake. Why was there pounding at my door? I got up from the couch, paying no attention to the old GoT episode on TV, and rushed to look through the peephole. It was Detective Meller. Shit. What did I do now?
She wondered why the garage door was open. It was 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the boys were at school, and the street was quiet. She turned; there were no cars in sight. | She reached up to shut the door and suddenly stopped. Something had reached up and taken hold of her foot, and before she had a chance to scream, the house, garage and all began to sink. She shook her head and all was right again. Now it was 3:15.
Once upon a time there was a mouse named Molly and she only liked things that started with the letter "M". | She hated things that started with the letter "N", so you could imagine how much she hated her neighbor, a mouse named Nigel. But Nigel loved Molly. | Nigel often thought of Molly whenever he was depressed. Her smile and her caring ways were what drew Nigel to Molly. He had asked her several times to marry him, but she always said no. | Knowing her to be the adventurous type, he invited her for a ride on his motorcycle. "Never!" she replied. "Then how about a movie?" he asked. "Not a chance." That gave him an idea.
A short-red-haired girl in her 20s walked into a bar. Some bearded men on a corner table noticed her healthy knockers under the sexy black dress. A young man decided to make friends with the new chick. He came behind her stool, interuppting her chat. | "Hey sexy, don't you mind if I sit beside you?" Without waiting her response, the man sat at the next stool and ordered a new whiskey from the owner. "I'm Norman Walker. May I know your name, gorgeous?" The blond man asked, his green eyes glowing. | "Jane Smith. Actually, I mind, Mr Walker. But feel free sitting here." The woman answered without directing her dark blue eyes towards Norman. Jane Smith was not exactly the most creative made-up name, but she didn't care. | "Could I offer you a cup, sweet Jane?" Norman said. He didn't mind the woman's attitude. Jane picked the cup, turned to the bar owner. "Your treat, Mr Walker?" A mischievous smile showed in her face. "Please, Mr Owner." | Gabe, the owner and another blonde man, took Jane's cup and filled one third of its with whiskey. "With pleasure," he said with a thick Irish accent. Norman realized something and got back to his seat. "Seems like he noticed our matching rings."
Life is a long hard road, especially in a demon-filled apocalypse. | "But at least, I can do anything I want from now on. With this knife," thought the young woman. Only a few weeks before then, she had been just a carefree college student without any worry in the world. She never knew these people before. | Then, they depended on her. Suddenly, a voice brought her attention back to this world, "Ivy, I brought back the new survivors we found in Szyckezy." Ivy, the woman, noticing the strange place name, nodded. "Thanks, Maurum. Sorry, did I just...?" | The other woman, owner of the new voice, smiled. "It's close. Mawromnak. Try to pronounce it slowly. Maw-rome-nack. Add a little stress on ROM part." The new woman had dirty blond hair, a pair of brown eyes and a dark, slightly red, tone of skin. | "Sorry Maw, it is already two weeks but I still cannot pronounce your name properly. Not to mention the others'..." Ivy's tone was a little depressed, but it ended soon, as Maw's hand slapped the former's back with a bit force.

Man, does this album completely suck or what! That's okay, though - they designed it to completely suck. Well, at least, they were well aware that the songs on here are not metal, and for the most part are pop, and even when Helloween redoes them, they are still pop.
So yeah, this album has some REAAALLLYY questionable song selections. Some of the songs are decent, but others just blow ass. And yes, as general principle, all the good songs were done originally by metal or classic rock acts (ie Jethro Tull)... well, not really, they chose some a really shitty Deep Purple and a far below average Beatles song to cover, and also... "He's a Woman, she's a Man". Ya know what, EVERY band from Helstar to Helloween to bands whose names do not have veiled references to the less (more?) preferrable afterlife option have done this song. And it still sucks, because it's such a cheesy fucking song, because the Scorpions were sometimes such a cheesy fucking band.
The rest... "Locomotive Breath" is decent, and so is "Hocus Pocus". "Rat Bat Blue" was such a fucking bad song, and stays that way. "Space Oddity" was too weird a song to be covered by a generally non-fucked-up band like Helloween. "All My Loving" was okay, and stays that way too. "White Room" is done quite well, and then the highlight of this album has to be Frank Fucking Marino's "Juggernaut". Frank Who? Never mind, the cover is speed metal. Which is what this album so badly needs. But nooooo, there's stupid Abba shit... and mmore crap. Who the fuck is Babe Ruth. Oh and Faith no More - that band always sucked, silly modern shit that couldn't consistently fucking rock if their life depended on it. This is one of their worse songs, no "Digging the Grave" here.
Yeah, this album seriously blows ass. Sure, it's great for the "open minded" people that accept all sorts of crap, but ya know, the people that listen to Helloween, especially after they put out Better than Raw, want them to fucking rock ass.
Oh yeah I heard that this was done to appease the record label, who wanted one more album out of them. So yeah, no more live albums, way to give 'em an album of dumb covers. Capitalism at its finest - who screws who and who laughs last. Helloween's laughing all the way to the Dark Ride. Note that they never performed any of this drivel live.

Cu-Zn-S (CZS) films were deposited by the spray pyrolysis method. As-deposited CZS film showed a low crystallinity. The resistivity of CZS film with Cu Cu Zn ratio of 50% is around 2 10 cm n 2:2:3 . The CZS film elements using spray Cu-Zn 1:1 solution with thiourea was confirmed as Cu : Zn : S by ICP-MS and EDX. The band gap of CZS films was varied in the range of 1.8 - 3.5 ev when the Cu Cu Zn ratio was increased from 0% to 67%; CZS film with Cu Cu Zn ratio of 50% showed an wide band gap of 2 eV.

Telephone scam targets life savings of elderly
GardaI have issued a warning about a new telephone scam that has seen some people lose up to €32,000 in savings.
The elaborate scam uses what is known as 'vishing', which involves criminals deceiving members of the public into giving them their personal information over the phone and has targeted over 30 victims in the past number of weeks.
Gardai do not have an overall figure on the total sum of money that has been stolen, but they suspect that elderly people with landline phones are the gang's main targets.
The scam sees a victim receive a call from a criminal posing as a 'security manager' for a 'high-end' retail company.
The 'security manager' then tells the victim that they have caught someone in the retail store fraudulently using the victim's credit or debit card information to make a purchase.
They then tell the victim to hang up and contact their bank immediately via the phone number provided on the back of their credit or debit card.
The criminals stay on the line after a victim hangs up and if the victim makes a phonecall to anyone else within 60 seconds they will be transferred back to the criminal instead. The criminal passes the phone to an accomplice who pretends to be with the victim's bank and the victim provides the criminal with access to their assests, Detective Inspector John Foudy explained.
"The key to spotting the scam is if you receive a call from someone claiming to be a security manager, after you hang up and call someone else there will be no dial tone if the criminal stays on the line," said Detective Garda John Walshe.
Gardai are collaborating with Interpol on the case.

Urban Gardens Provide More Than Food
There is tremendous potential for people of all types to grow their own organic foods. Particularly unemployed people in urban areas. Doing so is healthful for individuals and the Earth. In particular it promotes relocalization of agriculture which is more sustainable in the long term.
Urban Gardens Provide More than Just Food
The community gardens initially created to help confront the effects of the late 2001 economic collapse in Argentina have now "grown" into a government-run urban agriculture programme, which provides unemployed workers with much more than just food for their families' tables. Some 7,000 people who were out of work before entering the programme have joined forces to clear the land, plant and harvest vegetables, and sell their produce in street market stalls.

Save our Bass Fishing
- An increased Minimum Conservation Reference Size (Minimum Landing Size) – we have been successful in increasing this from 36 cm to 42 cm, allowing female bass the opportunity to have spawned before capture.
- An end to the midwater trawling of vulnerable spawning aggregations of bass.
- Hook and line only targeted fishing for bass in 2017 (recreational and commercial) with limited bycatch allowances for unavoidable catches from demersal trawls, seines and gill nets
- Development of a Bass Long-term Management Plan – in 2015 our campaigning efforts forced the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) to agree to work with the Angling Trust and BASS on a Long-term Management Plan for the species. This work is ongoing and we continue to work at an EU level with the European Angler's Alliance to influence the European-wide management plans.
Campaign Timeline Since 2014
Emergency Measures
- A ban on the winter pair trawling of spawning aggregations of bass
- An increase in the Minimum Landing Size from 36 cm to 42 cm
- Monthly vessel limits for all gear types
- Restrictions on recreational anglers – an EU-wide daily bag limit of three fish.
Read more about the developments following the 2014 Fishing Opportunities meeting here.
Major changes in 2015
- A complete fishing ban for commercial vessels and recreational anglers (including catch and release) in the first half of 2016
- In the second half of 2016 a monthly one tonne catch limit for vessels targeting sea bass and a one fish per day bag limit for recreational anglers.
Bass Campaign in 2016Unsurprisingly following the lack of action to decrease commercial catches of bass, the 2016 scientific advice from ICES revealed that stocks of bass around the UK and North European coast were below the critical level at which recovery can be guaranteed. Following the publication of this advice, the European Commission proposed that drastic changes be made to the bass fishery in 2017:
- A complete ban on all targeted netting of bass
- A monthly bag limit for anglers, as opposed to the current daily bag limit
- A bycatch allowance for demersal trawls and seines
- A closed period during February and March to protect spawning bass
The restrictions for recreational anglers failed to change, with a no-take period from January – June inclusive and a one-fish-per-day bag limit from July – December.Read the Angling Trust-SOSB Position Statement for 2018

Via Ferrata for exhilarating mountain fun
Climb up a rocky wall without actually mountaineering, and progress upwards in a vertical landscape while taking advantage of climbing routes equipped with ladders and metal cables: this is the world of the 140 vertiginous Via Ferrata routes dotted around France's mountain ranges.
Tens of thousands of climbers, ranging in age from 7 to 77 (and even older!), have enjoyed the thrill of a family adventure along these via ferrata, literally "iron pathways," which have been created and further developed over the past 20 years, particularly in the Northern Alps, the Southern Alps, and the Pyrenees. The general public can use these routes at will and free of charge, though use of them does require a sense of responsibility, and precaution.
Following the example of canyoning and hang gliding, this new generation outdoor sport has become an essential addition to any active vacation, but only on the condition that those taking part are sensible, well-informed, well-prepared and well-equipped. Participants also need to be accompanied by a qualified, professional guide, an experienced friend or part of a recognized club, at least for their first ascent.
Via Ferrata: guidelines
The technique consists of climbing a cliff or natural wall along ladders fixed solidly into the rock, while permanently secured via harness and safety rope. Climbers will need to wear a harness fitted with a shock absorption system (an essential piece of equipment in the event of a fall), two lanyards with karabiners (special ropes and connective metal rings) , a helmet and suitable footwear. The aim is to use the equipment (often available for hire from a specialist sports shop) appropriately, to follow instructions to the letter, and to ensure that you are attached to an experienced via ferrata climber to double your safety. Although accidents can happen, the risk is minimal.
You also need to choose a route that is appropriate to your experience: the 6 levels, ranging from easy to extremely difficult, take into account the steepness (occasionally the routes are on overhangs, which really test your stomach for heights!) and length of the route (sometimes several hours and very tiring), as well as the size of the iron rungs to be climbed (some of which are not suitable for children), and so on.
Other aspects of via ferrata which test the nerve of climbers are "monkey bridges" and "Himalayan footbridges," which stretch above the great void below and offer the sensation of tightrope walking.
For a successful climb, lasting either a half- or full-day, you also need to pick the right moment in terms of weather: avoid the potentially stifling heat of a south-facing wall (the sun can be incredibly strong even at altitude) and do not attempt a climb if the weather looks threatening as lightning is attracted to metal objects. The above guidelines will ensure an unforgettable experience on your first via ferrata ascent!
Climbing routes suggestions
Log onto a dedicated site for via ferrata enthusiasts containing a whole host of practical information and advice on every via ferrata in France.
- The Hautes-Alpes, a great via ferrata destination
This department is a mecca for the sport with no fewer than 25 climbing itineraries. The most famous routes are in the Pays des Ecrins, where the first French "via" was inaugurated in Freissinières, with the most popular in the neighboring Vallouise valley, and the most spectacular in the nearby Gorges de la Durance. Another key area is the Briançonnais, (only in French) where the via ferrata at the Aiguillette du Lauzet, north of Serre-Chevalier, is renowned for its atmosphere and spectacular views.
- Savoie-Mont Blanc, an impressive choice of routes
With close to forty routes now available, the Northern Alps offer fantastic potential for via ferrata, including routes at the Lac de la Rosière in Courchevel (Relatively Easy), the Rocher Saint-Pierre in Valloire (Very Difficult) and the Tour du Jalouvre in Le Grand Bornand (Very Difficult), along with itineraries specially adapted for children, such as the impressive route at the Forts d'Aussois, in the Haute-Maurienne!
Worth knowing
Scenic via ferrata routes can also be found in Corsica and in the Pyrenees, notably at Les Allias, in Cauterets.
The concept of "leisure"-based via ferrata originates from Italy, where routes originally created on the peaks of the Dolomites for military purposes during the First World War have undergone a "tourist" reconversion! The via ferrata concept has also provided inspiration for a spectacular (though not terribly credible!) Hollywood film: Cliffhanger.
Every mountain guide office (of which there are around 50 in France) and many qualified mountaineering instructors are able to offer "via ferrata" excursions.

By Peter Douglas
Hills locals Adie Bergen and Leon Gailitis have been impressing friends and family with their incredible weight-loss story, while being announced the winners of a major competition.
After participating in the Monbulk Aquatic Centre's 12-week challenge, Your New Beginning (YNB), the pair has lost a combined 21.3 kilograms.
The Belgravia Leisure program is designed to inspire individuals to become more active through small-group personal training, group fitness classes and access to nutritional and meal-planning expertise.
Leon and Adie said they were proud to have won and were even happier to have transformed their lives, kept off the weight and continued training since the challenge finished.
Adie said her health and well-being had improved significantly.
"This is definitely a lifestyle change that I want to continue," she said.
"I want to get to the point where I'm running again.
"I also want to lose 10 more kilos and keep it off."
Leon hopes to run a short triathlon at the end of the year, while saying his weight loss had helped to improve his mental well-being.
"I have more enthusiasm about life and feel like I've regained a little of my youthful spirit," he said.
Meanwhile, Monbulk Aquatic Centre Manager, Dave Florance, said it was a privilege to play a role in helping people to take control of their lives.
"Our health club actively works with the local community to give people the support they need to achieve the health and fitness results they seek," he said.
"Leon and Adie are great examples of this and we are really proud to have them work out at our health club."
The YNB program will return at the Monbulk Aquatic Centre in February next year.

By default pg_dump creates a plain text file with SQL instructions to recreate your database. It will always be bigger than the database's binary data files.
If you don't need an SQL file, you can use pg_dump -Fc to create a binary file which is smaller but can only be imported via pg_restore.
This might be useful: Compare pg_dump and gzip compression | IAmA DBA AMA

What is Nipple Reduction?
Nipple reduction is carried out to decrease nipple size. Nipple reduction can also include reshaping of the nipple to create better nipple proportions and reduction of the areola, the darker area surrounding the nipple. Nipple reduction may take place alongside breast augmentation, breast lift or breast reduction.
Nipple reduction is achieved by removing excess tissue from the nipple through tiny incisions on the nipple itself. The surgeon will carry out the procedure either to reduce the length of the nipple or the width of the nipple, or both.

PRIMEDIA Websites Saw Increased Views of RealtyTrac Foreclosure Data as U.S.
Foreclosures Experienced Record Rate in April
IRVINE, Calif. – May 26, 2009 – RealtyTrac™, the leading online marketplace for foreclosure properties, announced today that it has expanded its foreclosure data reach through its agreement with PRIMEDIA Inc. that allows website users of www.americanhomeguides.com, www.rentals.com and www.rentalhouses.com to search foreclosure properties via a real-time feed from RealtyTrac's nationwide database of default, auction and bank-owned homes. PRIMEDIA, a leading provider of print, Internet and mobile solutions to help consumers find a place to live, also announced that its Websites saw increased views to its foreclosures sections in first quarter 2009 when compared to fourth quarter 2008.
"PRIMEDIA adds vast property rental marketplaces to our growing list of business associates," said Ari Monkarsh, vice president of business development at RealtyTrac. "We are excited that this opportunity to provide PRIMEDIA's online visitors with access to the most comprehensive and up-to-date list of foreclosure properties nationwide has been realized so successfully over the last several months. This is indicative of consumer interest in researching foreclosed properties."
"Interest in foreclosure properties is on the rise as consumers continue to consider and evaluate them as potential investment opportunities," said Arlene Mayfield, senior vice president and president of PRIMEDIA's Apartments and Homes divisions. "RealtyTrac has allowed us to meet that consumer demand, while expanding our housing options and listings on AmericanHomeGuides.com, Rentals.com and RentalHouses.com. For example, in the first quarter of 2009, AmericanHomeGuides.com has nearly tripled visits to its foreclosure section and Rentals.com has seen a 72% increase in visits to its foreclosure section since fourth quarter 2008."
In 2008, more than 3.1 million foreclosure filings — default notices, auction sale notices and bank repossessions — were reported on more than 2.3 million properties nationwide, an 85 percent increase in total filings from 2007 and a 225 percent increase from 2006. About 50 percent of the 4.57 million homes sold in March 2009 were bank-owned foreclosures and short sales, according to the National Association of Realtors.
About RealtyTrac Inc.
RealtyTrac (http://www.realtytrac.com/) is the leading online marketplace of foreclosure properties, with more than 1.5 million default, auction and bank-owned listings from over 2,200 U.S. counties, and detailed property, loan and sales data appended to its foreclosure records.

Just got off the phone with a colleague. It was suggested that I make a short Youtube video listing the top ten reasons to attend our Spring Conference. A fun idea.
If you had to make a Late Show style top 10 list of reasons to attend a district conference, what would you list? Any suggestions?
This subject came up because a few years ago Amy and I developed another top ten list…
Peter & Amy present
the Top Ten Excuses for not admitting
you're a Unitarian Universalist
10. Because some people confuse the Unitarian Church with Unification Church and they might think I'm a Moonie!
9. Because when they hear Universalist they might think I got ordained online through the Universal Life Church and ask me to officiate at their wedding.
8. Because proper etiquette says you're not supposed to talk about religion or politics at a party.
7. Because plenty of people frown at all organized religion and I don't want them frowning at me.
6. Because maybe they won't care or won't understand.
5. Because I might get labeled as religious. God forbid!
4. Because Coffee Hour is crowded enough as it is!
3. Because if I do they'll ask questions and I can't even remember the seven principles (though I am working on it).
2. Because I feel it's each person's responsibility to find their own religion, if they care to.
And the number one reason for not admitting you're a Unitarian Universalist…
1. Because it's easier to skip it than explain it.

For friendly unit, I can use UnitInRange(), but it doesn't work for enemies. If I use IsSpellInRange(), it looks like that it doesn't check LOS.
How can I understand that enemy (mostly in arena) is in sight?
(If no direct API, I am ready for workarounds. May be, something like using CheckInteractDistance() will work?)
Posted by jnwhiteh on Fri, 26 Dec 2014 10:38:18
The API doesn't provide a way to check or guess if a target is in line of sight.

Do your summer vacations revolve around an active lifestyle? Whether it's snorkeling in the sea or wading in the kiddie pool, jaunting around cobbled-stone streets or tearing over hills on a dirt bike, you'll want a camera to capture it all without breaking.
Using the manual mode
Digital SLR cameras, and for that matter Mirrorless Interchangeable Lens cameras both come with the manual shooting option. Look for something on the main mode dial that says 'M'. Switch to this and you are now in the manual mode. The terms 'manual option', or the 'manual mode' are used interchangeably. They both mean the same thing, metering a scene manually to take a picture. Professionals will always use this mode, on the other hand, amateurs will be skeptical using it the first time. Most amateurs will probably never use this mode because they find it extremely difficult to adjust the exposure to correctly meter a scene. The reason is most don't quite properly understand the concepts of exposure in the first place.
Together with the 35mm lens a 50mm fixed focus lens is considered to be standard prime. The photography world is polarized between these two primes with each group having its distinct favorite. In this article we shall look at the 50mm prime lens and walk through some of its features and disadvantages.
A prime lens is essentially a lens with a single focal length. Unlike zoom lenses, there's simply isn't a way to turn a ring and zoom forward. What you get, however, as a compensation for its inability to zoom, is a blindingly fast aperture. All those high speed photography freaks can hope to use shutter speeds of 1/4000th of a second and higher when pairing their full-frame camera with this lens. Additionally, the 50mm is the closest when it comes to the angle of view that the human eye has. Thus the name 'standard prime'.
It's probably one of the most commen questions asked in the photography forums - "I'm just becoming interested in photography, and my point-and-shoot camera/camera phone/other camera just isn't cutting it anymore… So what's the best beginner dSLR?" It's the gateway question into the wonderful world of photography. The answer the budding photographer receives could shape their photographic purchases for years, even decades, to come. For those of us that participate regularly in photography forums like the Corner, it's a question we come across frequently, and one we (hopefully, at least) answer with some thought.
For many, it usually comes down to choosing the (usually) newest and cheapest dSLR that's made by _____ or _____ (fill in whatever company names you want - but it's almost always Nikon and Canon these days). Several times a year, the answer will change - the Canon Digital Rebel, the Nikon D50, the Canon 550D, the Nikon D40, the Nikon D5000, and the list goes on. I asked on Twitter and our Facebook Fan Page, and almost every response I received was different - literally dozens of different answers with no real clear winner.
What it really comes down to is personal preference. If you're in the market for a good, beginner dSLR, there are several to choose from, but before you make up your mind, head down to your local camera shop and hold them in your hand. Some cameras simply "feel right" in your hands, and that may be enough of a tie-breaker to pick one. Sure 'camera X' has slightly different features than 'camera Y', and 'camera Z' has more megapixels than 'camera X', but a smaller LCD screen - they all are a little different. But when it comes down to it, a good learner camera for me could be different from a good learner camera for you - we may have different photographic tastes and expectations, different sized hands, different subjects, different feature requirements. So the answer to the question "What is the best beginner dSLR?" is "whatever one seems to fit your photographic needs."

The past several Photography Thursday videos have focused on lighting, but this week we take a closer look at your camera - specifically at cleaning your digital camera. Cleaning the sensor of your dSLR can seem scary, but it doesn't have to be as long as you're careful and follow these instructions.
The camera manufacturing companies of Nikon and Canon were the first to transition traditional single lens reflect cameras (SLRs) into the digital world. These were immediately popular with professional and amateur photographers alike, and would soon enter into an ongoing battle for most refined and enhanced in the industry.
Here's another round of interesting/essential photography-related news.
Several camera manufacturers have released firmware updates over the past couple of days - most addressing better SDHC support. Both releases and links to the downloads for Canon & Pentax cameras are listed below.

Is there a way I can download default software again? Pretty agrovate about this, x10 has been a nightmare since day 1.

All that has changed. Renamed the Renaissance City, Providence has been reborn.
Downtown was revived by Buddy Cianci, the frequently indicted and much revered mayor of Providence, who convinced Amtrak to relocate so he could create a park in the center of the city. He tore up the streets that had paved over the Providence, Woonasquatucket, and Moshassuk Rivers and created a Venice-like system of canals that are used today by WaterFire (http://www.waterfire.org/), the summer festival that transforms the center of the city into a street fair of music, food, and pyrotechnics.
With RISD (the Rhode Island School of Design), its newly expanded Museum of Art, Trinity Rep, and Brown University, the city offers more art per square foot than almost any other city, save maybe San Francisco. Increasingly visitors to Southern New England are discovering Rhode Island and Providence in particular because of its manageable size and creature comforts.
If you're hungry, Providence will make you very happy.
You can enjoy uniquely Rhode Island foods by stopping at a neighborhood shop like Sal's Bakery (1288 Chalkstone Boulevard, Providence, 401/331-5349) and picking up a spinach pie or a pizza strip. They're eaten cold although the pizza strips,which used to be a humble affair of baked pizza dough topped with spicy tomato sauce, are now available with thin slices of potato, cheese, or basil.
Unless you're a vegan, you have to try a New York Style hot dog, which is--notwithstanding the name-- only found in Rhode Island. A generous helping of braised beef sits on top of a hot dog, with a smear of mustard and a generous dusting of raw onions and celery salt. Don't drive by The Original New York System (424 Smith Street, Providence, 401/331-5349) without running in for a plate of hot dogs and a glass of ice cold coffee milk, another Rhode Island original.
Take an afternoon walk around DePasquale Plaza in Federal Hill, Providence's Little Italy, and enjoy local baked treats like zeppoles and sfogliatelle with a good espresso at Palmieri's Bakery Cafe (64 DePasquale Plaza, Providence, 401/861-2253) or go around the corner and stop at elegant, romantic Pastiche (92 Spruce Street, Providence, 401/861-5190) for a pot of tea and a slice of chocolate layer cake.
While you're walking around Federal Hill, take a minute to join the crowds at Venda Ravioli (265 Atwells Avenue, Providence, 401/421-9105) where the display cases are packed full with olives, cheeses, cured meats, ready-made Italian deli favorites like stuffed peppers and snail salad, homemade pastas, freshly baked breads, gelato, and imported chocolates.
Among the restaurants, there are old favorites for those who know the city. Pot Au Feu (44 Custom House, Providence, 401/273-8953) and Al Forno (577 South Main Street, Providence, 401/273-9760) show up in all the tourist-guides because they sparked a change in the way Rhode Islanders ate. They are worth a visit but there are a half dozen others that should be at the top of your list the next time you're passing through Southern New England.
In fact, I'll hazard a guess that once you've eaten in Providence, you'll think twice about making reservations in Boston. The food is as good or better. The prices competitive or cheaper, and it's a lot easier getting around and parking in Providence than in Boston.
The locavore movement has found its epicenter in Providence in the cooking of Brian Kingsford (Bacaro), Matt and Kate Jennings (Farmstead and La Laiterie), Ed Reposa (Thee "Red" Fez), Matt Gennuso (Chez Pascal and Hewtin's Hot Dog Cart), Bruce Tillinghast and Beau Vestal (New Rivers), Derek Wagner (Nick's on Broadway), and Joe Hafner (Gracie's), all of whom work with local farmers to create product for their restaurants.
When you walk inside Nick's, you're met with a whirlwind of energy emanating from the open kitchen. Chef-owner, Derek Wagner orchestrates the movements of his staff in a narrow alley of a kitchen as he calls out the orders, keeps the mise en place well-stocked, and checks every dish. What attention to detail!
Nick's is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and Derek is in front of his stove for all three meals. For Derek, like his fellow chefs in Providence, cooking is about passion and heart. In this close-knit community of chefs, they think, sleep, and talk about food 24-hours a day. They spend their free time searching out new purveyors. They hang out with one another and pitch in if anyone gets jammed up.
At Nick's the food is local as much as it can be, given New England seasonal realities. His menu lists the local farmers, growers and producers who supply the restaurant. His cooking style is short order but the dishes are long on flavor, well-made, delicious, and smart.
For breakfast you can have a tofu scramble, bacon and eggs, or a breakfast sandwich. But you can also have blue cheese bread pudding topped with over-easy eggs and Hollandaise or slow-cooked braised beef with a poached egg on top of a grilled round of sour dough bread. Pastas, sandwiches, soups, salads, tofu, and grilled fish fill out the lunch menu, with an emphasis on keeping prices well under $10.00 for the majority of the dishes. Dinner features locally caught seafood--cod, clams, shrimp, yellow-fin tuna, and sea scallops--as well as chicken and steaks and New England desserts like warm blueberry bread pudding or cherry cobbler with creme fraiche-cherry ice cream.
Thee "Red" Fez (49 Peck Street, Providence, 401/272-1212)
The Red Fez is where Providence chefs go after their own restaurants close, so you know the food is good and affordable. Ed Reposa and Sara Kilguss serve up imaginative cocktails like their Gentleman's Manhattan with ginger syrup. They feature fun-comfort food like Mac + Cheese with chorizo, homemade kimchi with tofu and rice, grilled chicken wings with "eleventeen" spices, grilled cheese with bacon and tomatoes, hummus and grilled pita, pulled pork sandwiches, and the not-to-be-missed French-Canadian poutine made not with a biscuit and lumpy gray sauce but with chorizo gravy, fries and bits of fried Mexican cheese.
If you haven't died-and-gone-to-heaven after you've eaten your fill, head to the upstairs-bar and listen to the music, have another drink--maybe a Pasilla, Queen of the Desert, a spicy blackberry and pasilla pepper margarita--and just hang out.
Farmstead and La Laiterie (184-188 Wayland Avenue, Providence, 401/274-7177)
At Farmstead, a retail store and small restaurant, the cheeses come from all over the world and, in Providence, this is the place to buy quality cheeses.
Chefs and co-owners, Matt and Kate Jennings like to tell people that when they met they fell in love over stinky cheese and cured meats. Trained as a pastry chef, Kate bakes the homemade cakes, muffins, and dessert breads sold at the store. Matt's the cheese monger and charcutier. If you love cured meats, Matt's your man. He selects the best he can find and makes some himself, like a mortadella that is deliciously light and flavorful, a lamb's neck terrine filled with fat pieces of savory meat, and a smoked-brined bacon he uses to make their signature BLT.
La Laiterie is attached to the cheese store and serves a dinner menu that draws freely from French, Italian, Spanish, and New England cuisines. Hanger steak gets a side of new potatoes and salsa verde. Grilled branzini shares the plate with preserved lemon and toasted quinoa. Local seafood--squid and mussels--is served in a spicy escabeche sauce. If hamburger is your food-of-choice, you've hit the jackpot with La Laiterie's 1/2 pound burger with your choice of Shelbourne 3 year old cheddar, Gorgonzola piccante, or tarentaise. The restaurant has a relaxed atmosphere. Matt and Kate encourage their patrons to linger, sampling wines, having dessert and coffees or a cheese plate.
New Rivers (7 Steeple Street, Providence, 401/751-0350)
Located on the eastern edge of downtown, New Rivers has championed fine dining in an intimate, romantic setting since 1990. Chef-owner, Bruce Tillinghast has always based his menu on local, seasonal food, with an emphasis on French and regional Italian cooking. His current chef, Beau Vestal, like his friend Matt Jennings with whom he goes mushroom foraging, loves cured meats, so he added an extensive "Charcuterie & Offal" menu that includes heart, pork cheeks, lardo, as well as pork belly, garlic and pistachio sausage, chicken livers, and pork confit torchon. With a nod to Southern New England traditions, New Rivers offers corn bisque with sauteed fish, a full clambake albeit without the sand and smoke, and one of the best lobster rolls in the area. Usually lobster rolls are made with claw and knuckle meat. At New Rivers your lobster roll will be made up entirely of tail meat, served on a grilled brioche with Cole slaw made with celeriac, corn, Italian parsley, and red cabbage. The Berkshire Pork Ribs, slow grilled with peach bbq sauce, was fall-off-the-bone delicious.
Using local ingredients to advantage, the innocently sounding Westport Salad is actually a gathering of the familiar and unexpected on a plate that balances fall greens like arugula and red leaf lettuce with slices of Asian pears, two kinds of French radishes, locally grown Mexican cucumbers, thin slices of red turnip, Hannahbelle Cheese, and half a dozen sliced husk cherries. Rarely has a salad been so refreshing and satisfying.
Besides a full bar and a generous wine listing, New Rivers also has an amazing dessert menu with a lemon tartlet topped with a crown of fresh berries and mint leaves, warm apple cake with buttermilk spice ice cream (my favorite!), and perfectly constructed ice creams like huckleberry or praline.
Gracie's (194 Washington Street, Providence, 401/272-7811)
Located downtown across the street from the world-famous Trinity Repertory Theater and a block away from a Providence favorite, Local 121 (121 Washington Street, Providence, 401/274-2121), Gracie's is an easy place to like. With floor to ceiling windows facing Washington Street and stars decorating the interior, Gracie's invites you inside to enjoy a drink and snacks at the bar or into the intimate dining room for dinner and quiet conversation.
Like his fellow Providence chefs, Joe Hafner buys locally and changes his bistro menu seasonally. There are classic dishes like the Gorgonzola gnocchi that were little puffs of flavor that dissolve on the tongue, Hudson Valley Foie Gras served on brioche with pumpkin pie custard and cranberry gastrique--it was almost Thanksgiving after all--or hanger steak with collard greens. And then there are personal dishes like the Rigatoni Campano, made from co-0wner Ellen Gracyalny's grandmother's recipe, the pasta sweetened with a tomato and ricotta salata sauce, a spicy Italian sausage filling out the flavors. While chef Hafner says, "Quality goes hand in hand with local," he admits that's a balancing act. He won't keep lamb off the menu because it comes from Colorado. And if there are better scallops in Canada's George's Bank or salmon from Scotland, that's what he'll serve. But if the local product costs a bit more, he'll pay it. Buying from local purveyors and staying in "harmony with the season" are key to his inspiration.
Bacaro (262 South Water Street, Providence, 401/751-3700)
When chef-owner Brian Kingsford was 15, he got a job at Al Forno, the Italian restaurant that sparked Providence's food renaissance. To get the job he had to lie. He said he was 18 and knew how to cook. Neither was true. But seven years later, having learned the craft and proven himself, he became the head chef. With his partner, Jennifer Matta, he opened Bacaro in 2007, with a bar and salumeria downstairs and a full-service restaurant upstairs in the large loft-like space.
The huge menu takes its inspiration from the wine bars or enotecas of Venice. Replacing the chalk boards used in Europe, he took a page from Japanese sushi bars. When you order from the tapas (cicchetti) menu, you use a sushi-style sheet, marking what you want. The choices are encyclopedic, covering fish, fowl, meat, and virtually every edible plant found on an Italian menu. It's easy to fill up on the tapas menu when you have your choice of crispy pork belly, figs with honey, stuffed squash blossoms, fried smelts, anchovy sandwiches, roasted peppers, pate, braised cipollini onions, baccala and polenta crostini, and mini-panini with a selection of cheeses and meats.
The oyster and salumeria menus use the same mark-up menu. There are raw oysters from Long Island, Rhode Island, and Prince Edward Island and you can order oyster comfort food, like po-boy sliders and gratins of oysters in several flavors.
As part of his education, chef Kingsford traveled widely in Italy. The question that haunted him was, "Why do dishes I know how to make taste better in Italy?" The answer, he decided, was because of the olive oils, specific to each dish, town, and region. As a result, he uses regional olive oils for specific dishes.
On the main menu there are grilled pizzas in the Al Forno style, salads with a Mediterranean flair like the squid and octopus salad or a buffalo mozzarella and prosciutto salad but also combinations of local beets with Gorgonzola and a salad of local tomatoes and sweet corn. Pasta dishes like the Pasta Con i Funghi or the Pappardelle with Chantrelle Mushrooms & Sweet Corn are prepared with homemade pasta and sauced luxuriously with farm fresh ingredients. The seafood comes from local waters and arrives variously butter-poached, pan-seared, or braised. If you are a meat eater, you'll have to come back several times to satisfy your love of duck confit, spareribs, pan-roasted or crispy chicken, and wood-grilled beef or pork tenderloin. One dish in particular stood out, the Kurobuta pork chop. Of course the meat was tender and juicy, but the sweet flavors of the deliciously fatty chop were accentuated by the caramelized red peppers with their vinegar finish.
A word of advice, go with a large group so you can taste as many of the dishes as possible, so you can explore the extensive menu. Definitely leave room for dessert. There are perfect exemplars of regional desserts like the crostata with vanilla Creme Anglaise, topped with a seasonal fruit, which one evening was fresh figs. Chef Kingsford is a man with a sense of humor and that's reflected in his interpretation of a Chocolate Almond Joy or in the deconstructed Root Beer Float, which looks like a cake but tastes like the root beer float of your childhood.

Reliance Jio rivals have blocked 900 crore calls: Mukesh Ambani
Latest News »
New Delhi: Promoter of Reliance Jio Infocomm Ltd Mukesh Ambani on Thursday said that the top three telecom companies have shown "anti-competitive behaviour" and they have blocked as many as "900 crore" calls made on Reliance Jio network.
"We have received a lot of support from Jio customers but have not received similar support from the existing companies," Ambani said through a telecast.
"Benefits of Jio's superior technology have been denied to customers due to anti-competitive behaviour of incumbent operators," he said.
However, he added that call drop rate has come down to 20% as against 90% during the initial days of Reliance Jio's launch. He agreed telcos have released points of interconnect that may have helped to improve the call drop situation but Reliance Jio continues to monitor the issue very closely.

Reliance Jio also extended the free welcome offer for existing customers till 31 March. For all the customers enrolling after 4 December, "it's a happy new year offer", which means they will get everything free till 31 March.
Customers who enrolled before 3 December will automatically be migrated to the new offer.
Ambani also plans to double Reliance Jio digital stores by March 2017 to 400,000.

"An end to my mental health diagnosis"
About: NHS Lothian NHS Lothian Edinburgh EH16 4SA
Posted by formerlybipolar (as ),
I attended a mental health review at my GP surgery. It was the first appointment I'd had at the surgery in nearly 18 months of being registered, so I was asked to come in for a health check as a person with a mental health problem. It was an added bonus that there was an appointment available at 0830.
I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 1997, and after a decade on Lithium with few symptoms for several years I withdrew from medication over a two year period and was dicharged from secondary care in 2008. At that time I was advised that bipolar usually returned, and that it would be better if the diagnosis stayed on my record, just in case.
Well, today, a few years on, my GP asked me if I felt that my bipolar was resolved. I have felt this way for a while, and when I said yes, she marked my case as resolved, meaning that my notes now reflect reality.
I am now a person who had mental health problems, not a person who 'has' a mental health problem.
My doctor was open, friendly, and thoughtful today. She gave me some good advice, met my needs, and assured me that if I ever needed anything, to contact her. The appointment was about my mental health, but the discusion and interaction were much more holistic. I have always felt this in my many dealings with doctors over my mental health.
But today was a graduation I wasn't expecting. From now on perhaps my appointments, whatever the reason, won't always start with 'so, you have bipolar. . . '

Nobody promotes freedom abroad like Obama! 'Decide what works' between communism, socialism or capitalism and go with it
**Written by Doug Powers
What U.S. president in history has done a better job of selling American ideals and the concept of freedom abroad than President Obama? None, if you don't count all the others.
Here's Obama speaking to a Young Leaders of the Americas Initiative audience in Argentina and selling them on a system of government called "Whatever-ism":
"So often in the past there has been a division between left and right, between capitalists and communists or socialists, and especially in the Americas, that's been a big debate," Obama said during a visit to Argentina Thursday. "Oh, you know, you're a capitalist Yankee dog, and oh, you know, you're some crazy communist that's going to take away everybody's property."
"Those are interesting intellectual arguments, but I think for your generation, you should be practical and just choose from what works. You don't have to worry about whether it really fits into socialist theory or capitalist theory. You should just decide what works," he added.
Now there's a tango with delusion if I ever saw one.
Bonus: Obama also talked up Cuba:
"And I said this to President Castro in Cuba. I said, look, you've made great progress in educating young people. Every child in Cuba gets a basic education — that's a huge improvement from where it was. Medical care — the life expectancy of Cubans is equivalent to the United States, despite it being a very poor country, because they have access to health care. That's a huge achievement. They should be congratulated."
Cuba should be congratulated?
The problem, President Obama, is that they had no say in what kind of government "works." See where this is going?
New theory: The Obama administration didn't send the Churchill bust packing in 2009 — it walked out on its own.

Dispute directly with the credit bureaus. And that is how it SHOULD be done. Never go through a third party website when you don't have to. Transunion, Equifax and Experian all have websites.
