(That site is about as reliable as ESPN reporting "breaking news")
I think this guy puts it short and sweet. I agree!
"Mark Sanchez is one of the worst quarterbacks in the league. Geno Smith is a rookie with a ton of potential.
Give the kid the starting job and let's move on."

(That site is about as reliable as ESPN reporting "breaking news")
The only people who think Sanchez has any chance of beating out Smith are a few fools on this site.
The answers will come in training camp, it's as simple as that. The Jets, the oc , the head coach, the gm have not made up their mind on who the opening day starter will be this season. And that is exactly the way it should be this year.
if Geno is ready to play, he will most likely beat out Sanchez in TC. if not, let Sanchez take his lumps for another season while Smith is groomed for the future.
2013 is a "lost season" for most people. lets not screw things any further by forcing Geno into action if he's not ready.
Disagree with forcing Geno, and lets not mess things up any further by pressuring him.
Throw him in there(if he is indeed the TC winner), and dont coddle him. If Geno is not ready, I for one dont want to wait to try to develop him in 2 or 3 years...or more. If Geno is not ready, draft another QB next season, and again, best player starts. Its low risk, and i think the best way to develop is gametime on sundays.
Sanchez definitely has to go, but I wouldn't be so fast to throw Smith to the wolves, considering that this offense provides him with few weapons. You want him to have a fighting chance to succeed, but with this corps of receivers and a questionable running game, I would hold off until I surrounded him with the proper talent.
If Sanchez is "one of the worst QBs in the league".... With whom is he actually neck and neck?
What we need is to have the third option put back in place. Once that is done, best QB starts and play, the next guy on the list backs up and the third guy (I hope Mark) holds the clip board plays the scout team QB and gets laid a lot.
We need a solid veteran to replace Gerrard and hopefully one who knows MM system already and has started elsewhere.
Then let the competition begin, if Mark beats out both the Vet and the rookie then he deserves to start. No more free passes and no more throwing young kids to to the wolves. Everything must be earned with equal terms for everyone.

Strong performances by a host of local track and field athletes in Thursday's Section III state qualifier at Cicero-North Syracuse's Bragman Stadium means that they'll be back in that same venue next weekend in hot pursuit of state titles.
Fayetteville-Manlius had plenty of wins in distance events. Alana Pearl also pulled away in the 2,000-meter steeplechase, finishing in 7:06.45, more than 17 seconds ahead of any other runner.
Annika Avery went 4:37.49 in the 1,500-meter run and beat Liverpool's Abby McNamara (4:51.92) by a wide margin, too. Jenna Farrell's victory came in the 3,000-meter run, where she posted 10:11.15 as part of a 1-2 finish with Samantha Levy (10:15.62), with East Syracuse-Minoa's Natalie Marra getting third place in 10:26.58.
Avery, Pear. Farrell and Jessica Howe needed 9:09.48 to pull away from the field and win the 4×800 relay, the only Division I side to contest the event as Homer (9:38.86) led the Division II chasers. Howe settled for second place in the 800-meter run in 2:22.57.
Avery, Olivia Ryan, Rachel Dise and Anna Perrotti finished a close second (3:59.31) to Baldwinsville (3:58.37) in the 4×400 relay. F-M took fourth in the Division I portion of the 4×100 in 51.84 seconds.
Ryan went on her own to take third in the 400-meter dash in 1:01.41, ahead of teammates Shauna Cheathen (1:01.83) and Perrotti (1:01.97), with Jamesville-DeWitt's Catherine Keane in sixth place.
On the boys side, F-M's Andrew Berge' won the mile in 4:23.24, with East Syracuse-Minoa's Jesse Perrone second (4:29.40) and Jamesville-DeWitt's Patrick Dye (4:35.64) in fourth place. Bryce Millar, in 9:20.26, beat Liverpool's Ben Petrella (9:23.39) by more than three seconds in the 3,200-meter run, while Jon Abbott added an 800-meter title in 1:59.31.
Millar and Berge', joined by Jon Abbott and Kyle Barber, tore to a time of 7:44.63 to win the 4×800 relay over Liverpool (7:46.90), with ESM (8:22.31) in fifth place.
Kyle Barber, Hamza ElHabbal, Jules Ngadula and Ed Cheathen went 3:26.19 in the 4×400 relay, holding off New Hartford (3:28.20) for that top spot, as Barber finished a close second (55.23 seconds) to C-NS's Pete Girardi (54.76 seconds) in the 400-meter hurdles.
J-D's Zach Liebmann again won the pole vault, clearing 13 feet 6 inches, with ESM's Caiden Moynihan third (12'6") and F-M's Justin Jones (11'6") fifth.
The Red Rams' Dylan Volk rose to second in the triple jump, going 42'11 ½", and third in the long jump, going 20'4".Liebmann and Volk, joined by Sean Mulvihill and Will Cote, finished second (45.13 seconds) to Indian River (43.66 seconds) in the 4×100 relay.
CBA's Anna Schug needed 25.68 seconds to hold off Jordan-Elbridge's Julie Hines (26.06 seconds) for first place in the Division II 200-meter dash.
Also, Schug helped Kiana Ferguson, Kate LaCasse and Ryleigh Peterson finish second in the 4×100 relay in 50.77 seconds, only behind Skaneateles, who won in a school-record 50.27 seconds. Megan Pierce was third in the 3,000 in 11:02.77 as Ferguson was ninth in the Division II 100-meter dash.
On the boys side for CBA, Jack Brower won the Division II (small schools) 800-meter run in 1:57.61, the fastest time in either division. Tom SanGiacomo nearly added a 100-meter title, but was second in 11.41 seconds, just behind Camden's Kevin Jones (11.32 seconds) at the line. Connor Agnew took fifth in the shot put with a throw of 46'9".
ESM's Jeremy McGrath, in 15.94 seconds, took second to Girardi (15.35 seconds) in the 110 high hurdles. F-M's Kyle Harbour (2,753 points) edged J-D's Rob Murphy (2,746 points) for third place in the Division I pentathlon.
In a triple-jump duel, F-M's Christabel Ezidiegwu, going 36'5 ¼", beat J-D's Patrece Martin, who was second with 35'11 ¼", and ESM's Mia Montgomery (35'3 ¼"), who was fourth. Martin added a fourth-place long jump of 16'2 ½'.
The Spartans' Nina Zesky cleared 5 feet in the high jump to gain sixth place, but J-D's Brooke DeRoberts tied West Genesee's Abby Uczen for top clearance in the pole vault, each topping 9'3", but DeRoberts did so with fewer misses, so she took the title.
J-D also saw Tangela Hightower finish second (93'2") and Jesenia Haynes third (92'9") in the discus behind Rome Free Academy star Mariah Mays, who threw it 146'2". Allison Semmel added a third-place time of 16.76 seconds in the 100 hurdles.

A SWAT for an offer that's really not
Several times a year I load up the cybercart with the guys' favorite vitamin supplements and few disgusting shades of nail polish. Sometimes I'll add a few other products to reach the magic $49 level that triggers free shipping. That's not hard to do, by the way. One of their supplements is $16 for a bottle of 190. Throw in a few bottles of hyperallergenic sunblock and we're there.
So imagine my shock this week when drugstores.com apparently sent out an email touting free shipping to military addresses on orders of $49 or more. A prominent military blogger even bit on it, touting it as a "holiday perk." I'll forgive her - her husband is stationed at a base that's not 31 miles away from the nearest Wal Mart, so she probably didn't know.
I will not, however, forgive drugstores.com for basically taking an offer that's existed since at least April 2010 that I know of, slapping on an "order by" date and billing it as a benefit for those with loved ones in the military. It's not at all - at least, no more so than what's offered the other 364 days of the year.
It's actually quite easy these days to find free shipping to APO/FPO/DPO addresses. Most merchants that offer free shipping include military addresses as well. Why wouldn't they? It doesn't cost them any more because it's a domestic postage rate.
There are exceptions that appear to be based on what will clear customs. Amazon won't ship electronics, furniture, food or a few more items though otherwise you can take advantage of Super Saver shipping. Target has similar restrictions for what it can ship overseas, though its $50-and-free offer applies just the same as it does stateside. I've managed, though, to send everything from pillows to posters to Afghanistan and Kuwait with no problem.
You want a genuine shipping deal? Go to Hickory Farms, where a variety of packages ship for free to APO addresses. No purchase minimum, no ginned-up "offer." Granted, the selection is small, but that appears to be based in part on in-country shipping restrictions. Personally, I appreciate not having to wade through the whole site to figure that out.
As for anyone else who thinks they're going to trick us with "holiday offers" that aren't - I'm looking at you, Drugstores.com - Stop Wasting America's Time by promoting a "special" shipping deal that's nothing but pure marketing flimflammery.

Pakistan has returned remains of a Bangladeshi pilot who was killed 35 years ago while trying to escape across India to then-East Pakistan to join the civil war that led to the creation of Bangladesh.
Flight Lieutenant Motiur Rahman died in August 1971 after a fighter plane he hijacked from a Karachi airbase crashed near the Pakistan-Indian border. He was buried in then-West Pakistan.
Rahman was posthumously awarded Bangladesh's highest award, Bir Shrestha. Prime Minister Khaleda Zia received his flag-draped coffin at Dhaka airport late Saturday. He was re-buried on Sunday in Dhaka with full state honors.
Bangladesh emerged as an independent nation on December 16, 1971, when Pakistan surrendered to combined Bangladeshi and Indian forces.

The Krystal Foundation's been around since 1932. The company who provides us with all the tiny burgers we've come to love so much in Orlando, is starting to do big things for the community. Their main goal is to help provide funding and grants to schools, churches, and other organizations in need.
I had the pleasure of speaking with Nicole Echelard, Field Marketing Manager, about how Krystal's has grown as a company in our community, and how they have transitioned to start giving back. Each Krystal you purchase will have a 'chit' on it's packaging. When given back, or turned in to a participating school or organization, it counts as 5 cents towards their funding.
Imagine eating 5 Krystal burgers (that's what my appetite is) and being able to provide 25 cents to your local school or church. Squaring is caring! Take a listen to our interview and how you can participate and even get your school signed up. If you would like to see more information online, you can do so here.
Nicole would also love to help you get started and answer all your questions. You can reach her at email@example.com
Every Krystal's is participating. Who knew you could help your community by eating?

Will try and get a few pics posted on here once im back
My view over the weekend whilst enjoying a few beers
Going to Wien for Easter! Just amazing! Need to visit it more than the last time
Go on the big wheel and take pictures.
Hope so
Heading to NZ for a week next Friday, will be nice having the week off work.
Need good suggestions for the honey moon lol
Are you after you typical sort of honeymoon ? Beachside romantic etc?
Right now I'm open to any suggestion really. Just has to have nice weather in late August times.
What about something like Italy, Croatia or Greece ? Maybe Hawaii but that's probably a stretch in terms of travel distance.
I'd rather leave Europe TBH with you mate. The main suggestions so far are Maldives and Mauritius.
Cuba or New Zealand? They're two countries the gf and I have in mind for a honeymoon one day (she likes talking about these things )

Help Shelter Animals Find Homes/
Three to four million animals are euthenized in US shelters every year because they aren't adopted. I don't know about you, but I've had a lot of pound puppies (and kitties) over the years, and I don't want to imagine any one of them facing that fate. Still, you can't save them all! Good news: There's a new app that you can use to help pets find homes, without trying to fit a zoo under your roof. Pics for Pets, by Do Something!, lets you take photos of the animals up for adoption in your area and share them with other app users who may be looking to adopt. I know we're not supposed to be superficial, but super cute photos of dogs and cats can be pretty convincing. Sometimes the difference between a new home and a cage (or worse) is the photo posted for people to see online -- Do Something! estimates that a good picture candouble an animal's chance of being adopted.
Visit animals at your local shelter, take pics when you see the traveling shelter vans (sometimes they stop by malls, parks, etc.) and get the word out via the Pics for Pets app about all the cuddly creatures who need families. Then you can go back to Instagraming your day.

nosy o'donnell
someone with a huge nose that adds to a person's head weight by a couple pounds. normal humans have brains in the middle of the skull but nosy o'donnells have the brain right next to their nose. they tend to sniff around like dogs because their ancestors are half blood hound and half human. finally, their noses are like a third hand and have superpowers.
"that kid talha over there can flip a bottle with his nose." "omg, he is a true nosy o'donnell."

Powder in the morning, crud in the afternoon, and carving groomed down to the lift. The Yvette 112RP combines the loose and early planing feel of a fully rockered ski with aggressive sidecut and slight camber underfoot. Borrowing the basic geometry of the award winning Wailer 112RP, the Yvette 112RP is the most versatile women's ski ever built.
- Pure Prepreg Carbon Laminates and Nanotech Resins
- A specially designed poplar/x-wood core that mates with the carbon build
- The fastest and hardest Austrian World Cup race bases
- 2 mm edges
- The finest ISO Polyamide tops and burly UHMW sidewalls.
Combining space age prepreg carbon fiber laminates with the durability of a burly sidewall build, its the only pure carbon sandwich ski in existence.
DPS PURE SKIS ARE THE PRODUCT OF FOUR YEARS OF INTENSE DEVELOPMENT AND ENGINEERING. Its a ski that is truly unique and that feels unlike anything else made; a ski that actually makes you rip harder because it produces more power, is more reactive, and weighs less than traditional skis. Pure skis also have a practically infinite flex life, and don't break down like normal glass skis- endowing them with immense value.
While 99.9% of the skis available on the market are built using fiberglass and/or metal (aluminum). The prepreg carbon and nano resins used in all DPS skis have twice the strength of fiberglass (3 times the strength of aluminum) while weighing half as much.
CARBON SKIS ARE THE FUTURE. Once most people experience the power of a carbon ride, few go back to conventional builds.
Power & ride: Carbon has 20% more torsional stiffness than a wood/fiberglass construction. That means power, stability, and amazing edge grip.
Durability: All DPS boards are using a sandwich construction with ultra-strong UHMW sidewalls, a poplar/x-wood core, wide 2 mm edges, and a thickened base profile that turns the inevitability of rock hits into less base welds.
Carbon is precisely flexed, doesn't warp, and retains nearly 100% of its flex for the life of the ski.
Seasons down the road, your skis will retain the same snap as your first day on them. A DPS ski becomes a great value and investment; they wont start dying after a month like a fiberglass/wood blend. You no longer have to buy a new pair every year just to revive that sweet first-day pop. Instead, you can focus on building your quiver.
Weight: Traditionally, light skis are under performers because ski builders remove the materials that endow the ski with its performance characteristics in order to shed weight. Its always been a compromise. With a carbon ski, you dont give up anything. The materials let the ski outperform even the burliest metal constructions, while weighing on average 30% less.
1. Turn initiation is instantaneous and transitions are super fast.
2. In powder, you float better and go faster while expending less energy.
3. Skinning is easier and more fun.
4. When jumping, you spin with skis that are not ounces, but pounds lighter.

Hello - We will be visiting in Australia for 17 days in July - flying into Melbourne and out of Sydney. We do plan on also getting up to Cairns for several days, probably renting a motorhome in the area and exploring that area. But we're uncertain about whether to go to Ayers or take the Great Ocean Hwy from Melbourne to Adelaide.
Background info - we live in Palm Springs, California - the desert. It's summer here and getting hotter by the day.
Our question: Will we be underwhelmed with Ayers because we come from a desert area? We have already seen Sedona in Arizona. It sounds similar to Ayers Rock (lots of red dirt and sceneary). Would we be happier driving from Melbourne to Adelaide (even in the winter but blessedly cool for us) and flying to Cairns? Or is Ayers a "must".
Thank you all for your suggestions, much appreciated!

I haven't been to Palm Springs so I can't help you with a comparison, but Uluru (Ayers Rock) is stunning. It's one of my favourite places in Australia.
Just an aside, since the rock was given back to the traditional owners in 1975 it's known as Uluru. It is a sacred site for the local Anangu people and there are amazing stories elaborated from the very varied sections of the rock. The rock really comes alive like a huge canvas when you hear these stories.
The downside of visiting Uluru is that the accommodation and restaurants are overpriced. The camp site, people report, is more reasonable.
Report Abuse
I've been to Uluru twice and I can't see how anyone would be "underwhelmed" by it, but having said that, it's not a place that everyone needs to go. I don't think it's a "must see" in Australia because there is a LOT of other cool stuff in Australia.
Due to its remote location and expensive prices for everything, I don't recommend Uluru as a destination for anyone unless they feel that they absolutely want to go there. It's not the kind of place you should go just to "tick off" a box on your list. If you think you'd prefer the GOR, then go there--it is also a great destination.

I think my thinking is: if you lived at the beach - would you be "underwhelmed" with the Great Ocean Rd? My question is the opposite - we live in the desert and have seen Sedona, AZ - a cousin to Uluru in many ways.
We're not rich...just want to spend our budget in the way that will be most satisfying and rewarding. I see the value in both areas...just need to choose one. Help please!

Ayers Rock is a very large rock rising out of a virtually flat plain so is quite stunning in its own right. But once you are up close it looks much like any other red rock you have seen in the desert.
The top of the rock is brilliant. I spent 5 hours wandering around the top. But it is still a big red rock (actually it is a big grey rock. Only the outer thin layer is red, but you only see the grey and the other colours at the top.)
People on this site will bleat that you shouldn't climb it. If you go, make your own mind up. If you would climb a similar thing at home - climb Ayers Rock. If you would not do it at home, then don't do it here. Simple. Don't get caught up in the petty antics of political correctness.
If you love rocks - it is great.
If you love Aboriginal culture - it is great (so I'm told).
I went purely for the rocks. I'm not interested in primitive cultures and their fairy tales. I'm not interested in any culture and their fairy tales, for that matter. But that's me. I travel for natural features only. Cultural things is what you do when it is too dark to do anything else or when the weather is really, really foul.
Sorry to digress...
If you don't like rocks or Aboriginal culture go to the Great Ocean Road. As much I love it, I would only go to Ayers Rock if you have always had a burning desire to go.
The effort and cost to get there may not worth it to you.
The Great Ocean Road, particularly around the 12 apostles at Port Campbell, is truly stunning and unlike any other coastline I have been to (remember I travel for rocks). The limestone colour for a start is quite unique.
July will be great as you will get the winter Antarctic storm waves coming up from the south and crashing on the cliffs. I have been there when the waves have reached the top of the cliffs. WOW! especially on a sunny day with big waves. Double Wow!
The rest is much like anywhere else, just that there is nothing between the road and the sea for some of it.
I would recommend stopping at Melba Gully at night and seeing the glow worms if you have not seen glow worms before. It is not far from Port Campbell.
It will be cold - about 15C. But it is not too pleasant in summer with hot northerlies either.
Once you get to Warrnambool there is not much really, you will have seen most types of coast. If you are into bird watching then go further and visit the Coorong. If not loop north and come back to Melbourne via the volcanic western plains and Ballarat. Lots of extinct volcanic cones and lakes, again birdlife and some wineries etc. Ballarat for the Gold rush history and back to Melbourne. Can be done in 3-4 days but a week would be better.
If you are hiring a campervan remember that you do not have to stay in commercial caravan parks. There are plenty of free and cheap places. Get a copy of Camps Australia Wide. Number 7 is the latest. It will cost you about $50 (cheaper if you get a 2nd hand copy). It will show where you can camp free. $50 is about 2 nights in a caravan park. We have no. 5 and it is still pretty accurate.

As an Aussie who has done the Great Ocean Road but not Uluru... I'd do Uluru. GOR wasn't that amazing.
Report Abuse
I have seen both and am finding it hard to recommend one over the other. Probably GOR would win because of the coastal views. It depends on you though - Ayers Rock is a long way from Alice Springs so it would mean a fair bit of travel. It's all going to be desert scenery, red earth, Aboriginal culture, can be pricey because of the distances involved. Quite apart from the Aboriginals not wanting tourists to climb the rock, a lot of people have died climbing it. I don't like heights and enjoyed walking around it.
Great Ocean Road is blue seas, white sands, winding roads, rock formations, some history from shipwrecks and survivors stories, nice small towns etc. If you do travel on this road, be careful, in sections it's only one lane in each direction and you will be driving on the 'other side of the road'.
Which one does your gut feel you would like more?
Report Abuse
Hi, shortdesertguy,
Having read all the above, and your second post, I would suggest you travel the Great Ocean Road. I confess to not having done this trip but know many people who have, and some more than once. All have said it is worth doing, and it is on my list of places to go. The variety of sights, and the opportunity to see animals in the wild are factors to consider.
On the other hand, I have been to Uluru, loved the experience, and would love to revisit. However, it is expensive - just stayng in one of the cheaper accommodations was $NZ1050 for 2 nights for my DH and I. I particularly liked the structure of Kata Tjuta although both had many interesting faces, as my many photos verify.
Report Abuse
And just to add the other side to the debate about climbing Uluru so that you can make your decision. The traditional Aboriginal owners ask you not to climb up the rock which to them is a sacred site. If it matters to you to behave respectfully towards the wishes of the owners of the Rock, Australia's first peoples, then you may decide not to climb it.
Report Abuse
I have not been to Uluru. I'd like to go, but it doesn't appeal to me enough to make such a long, expensive trip just to see that one sight. So I can't comment about it. However, I liked the GOR enough to do it on two separate trips--the most recent being last week.
I've driven the California Coast from LA to SF several times. It's not like that. The rock formations in the area of the 12 Apostles; the Gibson Steps; the Arch; the London Bridge; the Grotto; are stunning. The rest of the drive is pretty--but that area is "WOW."
We took a slight detour off the GOR to visit the Otway Lighthouse because I'd read on this forum that it's a good place to spot koalas. We saw dozens of them and were enthralled. We loved our trip. (I'll soon post a report.) We continued up through the Grampians: GORGEOUS, and teeming with kangaroos and wallabies, then ended back in Melbourne.
I know your time is limited, but we also LOVED a day trip from Melbourne to see the penguins at Phillip Island. I'm guessing you'll enjoy whatever you decide to see.
Far North Queensland (we stayed at the Thala Beach Lodge near Port Douglas and it was FABULOUS) was fantastic. Very different from the other parts of Australia we've seen--and probably my favorite area. You just need more time!!

After a long deliberation and talks about budget we've reached decision to go to Uluru! It would be a shame to miss it. Now the excitement for the trip is starting to sink in! We've also confirmed a motorhome from Cairns to Brisbane.
Report Abuse
If you want to climb Ayers Rock, be sure to get there early ie as soon as the park opens, before they decide whether they will close the climb. This is done for "official safety reasons" but in reality it is done on a whim to ban the climb without actually banning it.
The aim is to have the climb completely banned within 10 years.
From Cairns to Brisbane stop at Tin Can bay and feed the dolphins.
At least a day trip on Fraser Island is really worth doing as well.
Report Abuse
I hope you don't regret Uluru. If I had only 17 days, I'd take a flight over it at sunrise on my way to somewhere else.
Uluru has this whole unfortunate mythical/indigenous thing that you have to buy into. It turned me off, and we have never been back. There are many whacko religious and green people who go there for a "deep" experience of the indigenous kind, all playing didgeridoos and beating sticks. You will see the fakeness if you go there.
If you are intending to drive a camper from Cairns to Brisbane, be very careful. It's a long lonely distance of 1700km, and most of the Bruce Hwy is only two-lane. Many people die in head-on collisions, especially those who are from countries that drive on the RIGHT-HAND side of the road in a LEFT-HAND driving country. Cairn
Between Townsville Mackay and Rockhampton, the road is a lonely stretch. Do not (DO NOT!!) free-camp or stop for hitch-hikers or men flagging down after dark. My sister and her husband used to drive that stretch of road regularly on their business deliveries when living in those parts and say there are missing people still unaccounted for. It's quite creepy to drive through, even during the day.
It's not only crocs and snakes and sharks to beware of.

Agree with above. Was at Ayers Rock two weeks ago. If you are not interested in Aboriginal beliefs then you are on your own. They provide no geological or ecological information on the park. The rock is stunning but once you have seen it, had a walk around it and the Olgas for a couple of hours I was ready to move on...
Report Abuse
I'm Australian and I live near the GOR so it's a bit blasé to me. I haven't been to Uluru although it is definitely on my bucket list but I have been to Sedona. OMG, WOW & anything other exclamation you can think of. I really can't imagine that our rock could be better than those rocks so I'll enjoy hearing your comparison.
Report Abuse
"They provide no geological or ecological information on the park."
Not in the Park itself, although if you look hard you will see a small info board at the new lookout.
For information on the area, the geology and the animals visit the visitor centre at the resort complex, it is near the shops. It has a good geology display of the formation and lots of stuffed animals and the history of the area and only a small mention of aborigines.
Quite a contrast to the centre in the park, that does not have any scientific info other than the day's weather forecast.

Hello shortdesertguy -
I've twice traveled to Central Australia and the Great Ocean Rd. In fact, I did the GOR for the second time just this past November. You can read my trip report here:
Although Uluru and the Olgas are beautiful and interesting, it's a long way to travel for just these two landmarks and to share them with hundreds or thousands of others. I really think they are best seen in the context of what the rest of Central Australia has to offer - Kings Canyon, the gorges of the East and West MacDonnell Ranges, Palm Valley, etc. But I'm not sure you'll have enough time for that kind of visit, given the distances involved. If you do go, I would highly recommend the Valley of the Winds hike through the Olgas - fantastic, but do it early in the day before the tour busses get there.
We loved the Great Ocean Rd, and if you read my report, not just for the scenery. The part from Anglesea to Cape Otway is somewhat reminiscent of California coastline (at least the part I've seen north of SF), but significantly greener. Most spectacular, in my opinion, is the area around Port Campbell and the Twelve Apostles - with the high cliffs, rugged inlets and sea caves. By all means get away from the crowds at the Twelve Apostles by stopping at some of the other attractions and taking a walk along the coast for a ways. Cape Otway, is definitely worth a stop, if only for a chance to see wild koalas, like we did.
On the second trip, we did not continue to Adelaide, since the coastal scenery is more subdued west of Peterborough. Instead, we looped inland to the Grampian Mts, then back to Melbourne. I would suggest you consider this option as well, since the Grampians offer some very nice scenery, great walks, and lots of opportunities to see Australian wildlife.
The only concern I have about the GOR is traveling there in July, when it could get pretty cold (though not freezing) and windy.

New Delhi, Mar 26 (UNI) Rural Development Minister Raghuvansh Prasad Singh today laid emphasis on the need of an appropriate land policy that ensures food security in a country like India.
Inaugurating a seminar on ''Land policy for Diversified and Inclusive Agricultural Growth'' here, Dr Singh said the aspects of rehabilitation before land acquisition should not be ignored while going for land acquisition in the name of developmental works across the country.
Referring to the recently announced Rehabilitation and Resettlement policy, 2007 of the Ministry, Dr Singh said a number of incentives regarding proper and well thought rehabilitation of rural population have been introduced and even the landless will be considered for getting benefits from the package. On the impediments being experienced during the implementation of Rural Development schemes like the Indira Awas Yojana (IAY) and the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) in the states he said shortage of appropriate land is also one of the reasons for it.
Dr Singh also advocated for the development of waste land for the purpose of land acquisition for Industrial purposes. He said the Department of Land Reforms has initiated a National Land Resource Management Programme on a time bound basis under which the mapping of land will be done through satellite and computerisation of land record is being done for better performance.
He assured all possible help in making out an appropriate land acquisition policy for diversified and inclusive agricultural growth.
The one day seminar was organised by the Agricultural Costs And Prices Committee, Ministry of Agriculture in collaboration with the Department of Land Reforms, Ministry of Rural Development.

Experience the world of Bucharest's legendary nightlife with a guided bar crawl. The heart of the capital's nightlife lies around the central strip of the Old Town – the lakes in the north part of the city are also hugely popular in summer – and it is packed with everything from traditional pubs to swanky cocktail lounges. The nearby Lispcani area is also renowned for a seriously notorious atmosphere and draws in hundreds in their droves. However, Matasari is Bucharest's Red Light District if you want some more risque stag weekend venues.
You and your group will get an English-speaking guide to take you around the madcap city, and you'll visit no less than three bars. Of course, we'll chuck in some complimentary booze – you'll get a beer in the first bar, and two shots of Romanian Palinka. This is a type of fruit brandy, found in most bars up and down the country, and it boasts an ABV of at least 37.5%. This is strong stuff…

This tour features WPHT's (The Big Talker) Chris Stigall
There are several countries with a gastronomical culture as rich as the country is old, and France is, by any expert's measure, in the Pantheon of gastronomy. We'll embark on this special event tour with a visit to some of my favorite dining establishments in Paris. We'll pay special attention to sampling some regional cuisines of the country, paired with fine wine, before we take the Bullet Train to Dijon, where we've barely left the train station and already our motor coach is traversing the wonderful "Route des Grands Crus". A wine lover's paradise and dining fit for a king and queen….. Burgundy!
Paris remains one of the world's most spectacular cities. The French prize beauty, in architecture, engineering, fashion and cuisine. Nowhere is this more evident than in the City of Lights. I will lead you on a private sightseeing tour of all the great iconic landmarks and boulevards in this wonderful metropolis. The Eiffel Tower. The Arc de Triomphe. Les Champs Elysees. Trocadero. Saint Germain. Notre Dame. La Sainte Chappelle. Le Pantheon. Luxembourg Gardens. Les Invalides and Monmartre to take us back in time when the likes of Picasso and Van Gogh roamed this little quarter and enjoyed the same accordion hits that you can enjoy today.
What do say we start on Les Champs Elysees savoring a cafè "grand crème?" I would award a prize to the first person who can pass by a "patissierie" (pastry shop) without stopping to gaze in awe but I'd never actually have to award the prize because no one can resist the beauty. This is Paris!!! You will fall in love with this jewel of civilization the way I have time and time again.
Have you ever phoned a loved one from the top of The Eiffel Tower? Now's your chance!
Champagne / Nazi Surrender
We'll take a separate day trip also on the bullet train to discover Champagne Country. This is a walking tour in the tiny city of Reims, which happens to be the capital of Champagne, part of France's cherished patrimony. It also happens to be where General Eisenhower took the surrender of the Nazi regime to end World War Two, although Stalin had something to say about this episode in which he was not calling the shots! You will enter the map room that Ike and Monty used and see all their ORIGINAL maps on the wall. In this very room, preserved, is where General Jodl captitulated to the allies, thus ending the Thousand Year Reich in its homicidal infancy.
A gastronomical lunch, a guided tour of a major Champagne house like Veuve Cliquot or Mumm, the famous cathedral where most French kings were coronated will round out our Reims visit.
D Day
We are spending our nation's holiday, July 4th, on the sacred D Day Beaches. The German massive guns at Longues Sur Mer have gone silent on the bluffs overlooking the sea; but they're still there for all to see. Mulberry Harbor stuns the first time visitor as we climb the hill to reach the plateau above the village of Arromanches. Private John Steele is still snagged up on the church steeple in Sainte Mere Eglise. The cliffs of Pointe du Hoc remain ever imposing – just as the Rangers left it and Omaha's pain and sacrifice are made real to succeeding generations by our men interred on the bluff overlooking the sacred stretch of sand known as Omaha.
We'll walk the D-Day beaches to commemorate that fateful day. I will be by your side constantly with the requisite historical narration, with one exception. I never walk the cemetery (OUR CEMETERY) at Colleville sur Mer with you. You decide how to visit this pristine patch of Normandy, granted to America in perpetuity. Undoubtedly we'll meet others from around the world who will similarly convene to both remember and honor the sacrifices that were made. Many vestiges of the battles remain intact and we will carefully and thoroughly explore them. We'll start on Pegasus Bridge where Major Howard earned fame as he led the gliders to crash landings next to the Orne River and the Caen Canal. This bridge was of great strategic importance; and we'll explain why once there.
While at Pegasus we'll try to arrange our usual photo opportunity or greeting with Madame Gondree. Madame was there the night our troops (British) captured the bridge, thus kicking off the invasion just after midnight on the morning of June 6th.
Madame Gondree was just 6 years old that night and now she welcomes visitors from the four corners of the world to the same house in which she resided then. The house, as duly noted with a plaque hung on its exterior, is officially recognized as the "first house" liberated during the D Day Invasion. Today Madame Gondree makes one mean omelette for visitors as the ground floor has been converted to a café and a British Military museum, full of any and all manner of D Day memorabilia!
We'll visit Cozy's Corner (also known as Cosy's Bunker) at Juno beach and learn of the role our brethren from Canada played in the invasion. This will be the first German bunker we'll visit up close and you won't believe the position it's in after the Canadians scored a direct hit. I'll also tell you the story of my friend Will Delude, who was there the morning of the 6th of June, 1944, at Juno. Remind me to tell you about Will's rosary beads he wore the morning of the invasion.
The story of the "disinterred tank" is one you will never forget. Like most visitors, including myself back in 1982, you'll probably have no idea what kind of a tank this was by looking at its odd gun. It doesn't matter though……. when you learn about what this tank and its men went through on June 6th you'll be amazed.
On a lighter note: you're in oyster country now, as you shall see. It's France: indulge a little!
On to the promontory above the sea that gives you a bird's eye view of the Mulberry Harbor. Careful where you walk… the plateau is honeycombed with German tunnels.
To conceive of the harbor today is really not that difficult: a man-made wharf, or pier, sitting parallel to the shore line just off-shore, and perpendicular road sections (strung together) emanating from the wharf to the beach.
The conception is easy. Making it functional was the great challenge. We'll show you the element that made it all possible: the Kite Anchor. Without the Kite Anchor it's possible that the promise made to Stalin in Tehran by Roosevelt and Churchill (to finally open up a second front in the West) would not have been honored. That's how crucial the Mulberry was; and I'll give you the time to visit the highly informative, small museum here at Gold Beach where you'll understand how the Mulberry was built, complete with an undulating pool to simulate the tides.
The story of Longues Sur Mer, the four massive German batteries, is little known. The mayor of the village had the foresight to retrieve the big guns from the scrap yard post-war and put them back in their place in the bunker…… but it's the bunker that took the direct hit that will surprise, and sadden you.
When in Normandy we usually reside in the pittoresque village of Port en Bessin. From our lovely, modern hotel you may walk to the shoreline 200 meters away, past the colorful fleet of scallop fishing trawlers. This village is the scallop capital of France, and thus a very active commercial fishing port.
The sunset here is phenomenal.
Omaha is divided into 3 parts: The Beach. The Visitor Center. The Cemetery. The Visitor center will bring you to tears. Enough said. The cemetery needs no elaboration. The Beach DOES need a lot of elaboration from your tour leader. Why? Because all 5 beaches have become pleasure beaches down through the decades. Aside from Gold, there is virtually nothing on the sandy beaches by way of remnants or detritus. All the bunkers, sniper posts, tanks, cannons, Widerstandnesten, Higgins boats and subterranean German passageways are all just off the beach, in the bluffs, the dunes (Utah) and lining the all-important ravines (or "draws" as the military termed them.)
You are not simply going to the D Day Beaches. You are going to UNDERSTAND how the invasion unfolded, with a particular emphasis on Omaha and Utah. What went wrong? Too much. What went right? Who saved the day?
Pointe du Hoc. Your homework assignment before we head over to France is to google Pointe du Hoc and see the aerial view. Then you may walk into the craters or between them once there.
Yes: I will take you to the Granite Spike where President Reagan spoke to "our boys" in 1984. It sits atop one of the most elaborate German positions in all of Normandy and you may go inside its labyrinth and see for yourself.
JFK once said "life is unfair" when he spoke about the awful human loss during war and the fact that some, and some generations, are never called for war.
Well….. on another lighter note….. Private John Steele never had to buy a beer post-war in Normandy. There are inns, squares, schools, hotels, restaurants and shops named for Private John Steele, and the focal point of all this attention is Sainte Mere Eglise, the little village 10 miles inland from Utah Beach, heading up the Cotentin Peninsula towards Cherbourg.
Private Steele had the good (odd) fortune that night (British at Pegasus, Americans down the other end) of gliding towards the ancient church and having his parachute snag on the church steeple. Given the way he's feted in Normandy you would think he was MacArthur and Patton all rolled into one!
Utah Beach. In a word: everything that went awry on Omaha went well on Utah. So well in fact, that the larger risk became too many men successfully landed on the beach before our engineers could demine the beach.
Utah is also critical to understanding the issue of the "white bread" German soldier versus the others wearing Hitler's colors that day in Normandy. Teddy Roosevelt's eldest son and namesake had a roaring debut during the invasion here on Utah, but sadly didn't live long thereafter to savor the eventual victory.
The military museum at Utah has been tripled in size and houses one of the best collections of souvenirs, armament and personal objects anywhere.
We will conclude our D Day visit with the vast, audio-visual collection known as the MEMORIAL TO PEACE museum. This is a perfect encapsulation of the history of the whole war, with of course a special section devoted to the D Day Invasion. This is also where I recommend you purchase any books or CD's about the war as it has the largest selection. This museum was built by the French government during the Mitterand presidency and it covers the whole war very well, including the Rape of Nanjing, the Holocaust, Stalingrad, Pearl Harbor, Midway, Guadalcanal and Nuremburg, just to name some of the highlights.
After completing our moving pilgrimage to the D Day Beaches we'll cruise in our private motor coach southeast towards the region of Burgundy, (Bourgogne.) The Burgundy region is every bit as famous as Bordeaux in terms of fine wine, although it's best known for its whites while Bordeaux is best known for its reds. Burgundy is verdant and conjures images of picnics outdoors on a sunny hillside, replete with local wines, cheeses and saucisson (the dried, cured and seasoned pork sausage.) Did somebody say "don't forget the French bread?"
Wine Route
We'll head off in our comfortable motor coach to discover the "Route des Grands Crus," a series of the greatest wine growing plantations in the region, with a stop in the famous Romanee Conti, where we'll amber among the pristine vines of this landmark and see the massive entrance gate. A visit to Burgundy would be incomplete without a true "degustation" session, (a tasting.) But we're going one better; we've arranged to have an accomplished chef entertain and instruct us with a fun discussion on how to buy the best ingredients and then he'll give us a lesson in fine French cooking—and yes, you'll be able to taste his "haute cuisine." This is a true hands-on cooking lesson during which you learn from a master and it's always lots of fun!
Burgundy is also known for its stunningly beautiful chateaux (castles.) My friend Jean has chosen what he rates as the best of them all to visit, Le Clos de Vougoet, and, time permitting, we'll also stop and marvel at Le Chateau de Savigny. Jean has had a home here for 30 years and has run countless tours of Burgundy and I'm sure you'll agree that Le Clos de Vougoet is a masterpiece. The small city of Beaune is a jewel of architecture and we're going straight to the main attraction, Les Hospices de Beaune museum.
As this is the focal point of our Gastronomical Tour we will discover how one of France's richest and flavorful cheeses is made. It's also one of my favorites: Epoisses. We'll be young at heart again as we visit the tasty and colorful Cassissium visitors' center. All the samples you can drink as well!
We'll enjoy learning about fine wine production and enjoy a tasting session at a regional producer's vineyard. If we're in Burgundy we're in Dijon mustard country. Let's visit the original producer of this famous product and see how it's crafted still by hand and local knowhow. We're also heading to Mulot & Petitjean to sample the landmark's gingerbread creations.
Each gastronomical tour/visit we undertake is also a chance to purchase colorful, tasty treats inexpensively for yourself or to bring home as gifts. I'll make some suggestions!
Also…. before we leave France I'll give you a chance to purchase some fine Belgian chocolates…. my favorite brand…. Leonidas.
French Cuisine
The dining included in this tour event? It's varied and you will have choices; but I limit the choices to suit American taste buds. For the more adventurous I'll be happy to find some French delicacies for your dining enjoyment. I recommend that everyone try at least one evening the roasted quarter leg of duck, which is as common in France as a hamburger is in America. And the desserts? Well…..let's just say that in 30 plus years in France I've never had an American guest leave dissatisfied with the desserts in France. You can't taste them all so I'll take you to Galeries Lafayettes, their gourmet food department, and we'll also let you take some of the most beautiful food photos you'll ever see. I'll make plenty of suggestions for food items to take home for yourself or for gifts.
Please note: as this is a Gastronomical Tour you will enjoy a level of elegance and refined cuisine that matches your image of classic French dining in a perfect setting, complimented by fine service and fine wines.
Provence has always been known as a unique corner of France that has all the attributes of the rest of the country; i.e.; history, cuisine, culture, joie de vivre—but the inhabitants of Provence have one undeniable advantage: the sunshine that is sometimes lacking up north is in abundance in Provence! We'll start our discovery of Provence in "l'arriere pays" that is: the back country, away from the sea and into the heart of old Provence, land of lavender, sun baked olive groves, dining al fresco, and a sip of pastis.
As our motor coach traverses this beautiful region we'll make one our first stops the village of Les Baux de Provence. The terrain and climate here are quite similar to the American Southwest, i.e.: dry and sunny. Marvel at the symmetrical placement on craggy slopes of the vineyards and be taken aback from time to time at the stunningly rich color of the lavender fields that attracted Cezanne, Van Gogh and Chagall. We'll visit the quintessential villages of Provence like St. Remy, Les Baux, Allauch, Remoulins and Uzes.
Better known must see stops include The Palace of the Popes at Avignon, the Roman Amphitheatre in Arles and the Roman Arena in Nimes. My two favorites in Provence as concerns history would be The Pont du Gard and the Maison Carre in Nimes. Both are breathtaking in their beauty and architectural prowess.
Marseille is like a second home to me. We'll head strait for my favorite location in the city: Notre Dame de la Garde. The view is stunning! The German Luftwaffe left a few reminders of its occupation here. I'll point them out to you. The American army left a gift as well (not to be confused with the larger gift of liberating the country) You'll be surprised to see it and proud to do so!
Of course we'll also see Le Vieux Port (the focal point of the city which is not only an active port of pleasure craft but also retains its ancient function of small fish market only ten feet from the water!) The fishmongers themselves are as colorful and "salty" as their selection of fish; and they'll be happy to take a few snapshots with you and the gorgeous Vieux Port as a background. The fish couldn't be any fresher than at Le Vieux Port, and I hope you see some that strike you're fancy because a little later in the day that could be your lunch. Yes; for the fish eaters among the group we will visit one of the best restaurants in France to dine on the famous fish stew of bouillabaisse.
The coast of Provence is studded with beautiful villages, one of which is Cassis. We're going to take a leisurely boat ride a short distance from Marseille to Cassis. Along the way we'll pass up close to Les Calanques, a nature reserve on the coast, accessible only on foot. When the most beautiful photographs of the Mediterranean show up in a travel magazine, very often they are shots of Les Calanques! As we head out of Le Vieux Port on our ship we'll also pass Le Chateau d'If, which lies just off the coast and was the island prison setting for The Count of Monte Cristo.
The next day we'll take the bullet train back to Paris for our departure to America on American Airlines.
Grab your beret! I'll see you in Paris!

NFL, Patriots Release 2013-2014 Schedule
The NFL schedule was released on April 19th and Patriots fans have a few games to anticipate as Tom Brady and the new look New England offense looks to make another run at the Super Bowl.
New England kicks off the 2013 season against the Buffalo Bills. The Bills made the great decision to not re-sign Ryan Fitzpatick but will most likely have either a yet-to-be-drafted rookie quarterback under center for the opener. Their other options include having one of two career second stringers, Tavaris Jackson or Kevin Kolb, handing the ball of to C.J. Spiller.
The Pats will open up at Gillette in week two against the New York Jets. Following a 6-10 record last season the Jets most likely won't be much better this season, but it's always entertaining when these rivals meet. Rex Ryan and Mark Sanchez have been the less successful, more vocal version of Brady and Billichick and you can feel the tension when the New York-Boston rivals play.
Week nine will see the Pittsburgh Steelers travel to Foxborough after the Steelers and Patriots didn't meet last season. Unlike the Jets-Pats rivalry of past seasons, this rivalry has remained fueled over the years due to the success of both teams despite the Steelers failing to make the playoffs.
Flames were fanned when the Patriots offered a deal to Roethlisberger-favorite and restricted free agent Emmanuel Sanders this off-season. The move angered the Steelers QB and forced Pittsburgh's hand to match the offer in lieu of taking New England's third-round pick.
In week 12 Tom Brady will face off against arch-nemesis Peyton Manning. Manning shocked the football world with his success coming off of multiple neck surgeries that caused him to miss the entirety of the 2011 season.
Last season's match up saw Tom Brady once again besting the elder Manning with a 31-21 win at Gillette. The Patriots will look to replicate that outcome once again as the Broncos travel to Gillette.
New England's final marquis game will be in week 16 as they travel to Baltimore to take on the defending Super Bowl champion Ravens. The Ravens had to get past New England in the AFC Championship last season, a game that saw the Patriots fail to score in the second half.
There's no way the Patriots have forgotten the game that ended their season yet and Baltimore's defense has a lot more holes after the loss of Ray Lewis to retirement, safety Bernard Pollard, Ed Reed to Houston, and Lewis' heir apparent Dannell Ellerbe to Miami.
The Patriots will be playing on nationally televised, prime-time games four times this season including the NBC Sunday Night Football game three times; Atlanta at the Georgia Dome in week four, Denver at home in week 12, and the Baltimore game in Baltimore in week 16.

Discussion in 'Q500 4K Discussion' started by Chaz, Feb 23, 2016.
What's the best software for editing videos from the 4k camera? Preferably free!
give this a shot. looks great. I have iMovie but will download this for the laptop. cheers
Wondershare Video Editor - The best video editing software for Windows & Mac.
looking forward to hearing from folks who download and use this. is it 4k friendly? any special features worthy of mention?
Wondershare is pretty good but the free version will only convert a third of your movie, you can edit, supress chunks of the video and also compress a video so you can upload it easily on a platform, but you have to shoot a lot (it will convert 1 minute of a 3 minute movie) of video to make the most of the free version
I bought it and it actually gives you a lot more than you ask for, you can download youtube video very easily for example
sounds good. how much is it? does it do 4k?
Can anyone tell me WHEN you need to upgrade software???
I'd recommend GoPro Studio. Works great with 4k, and has a bunch of tools to remove fisheye and add colour saturation, etc. There is a good tutorial on Lynda.com on all of its features.
My understanding the software is free to use.
Here's the download page:
For us Mac users who can't use Dashware, I've found a site that has video editing and telemetry data input built in to its software. Mac/Win compatible. I'll let you know more when I produce a video with it. For now it's the Garmin VIRB editing software. Has anyone else found this to be useful?
Sounds interesting. Please post your findings...
Update: Failed. The Garmin software works fine, just the CSV file from the remote work with the Garmin software. It's looking for .gpx or .tcx files not .csv . I'll keep looking. Would be nice if Dashware made a Mac compatible version of their software for us.
There is a way to convert the file formats. I'm just not sure what just yet.
I use the Magix Yuneec version, It's free and does 4K, easy to learn, great results!!!
i would love to see your video done with Magix. have you posted anything on youtube yet?
Freemake makes video and audio conversion software. Windows only. Free.
Use the video editor & compositor built into Blender (blender.org - Home of the Blender project - Free and Open 3D Creation Software).
It's 100% free, will run on any platform, and is powerful enough for just about anything you care to do with it.
And regarding "editing 4k," just about no one actually edits the true 4k footage. Create proxy files that are stand-ins for the real footage. You edit using the proxies and then the video editing software uses the full 4k sources when rendering. Blender and any halfway decent editor will work with proxies.
Just downloaded the Garmin VIRB Edit software. Seems to work well, still have much to learn about it.
