If you're one of those big Morel Mushroom fanatics (who knew this was a thing?), you're going to want to make sure to attend the first annual MN Morel Fest!
If you're one of those big Morel Mushroom fanatics (who knew this was a thing?), you're going to want to make sure to attend the first annual MN Morel Fest!
To say the last few years have been challenging is an understatement. Challenges with health, work, self-confidence…all such foreign territory for me. Challenges can sometimes mean losing your voice and I think a big part of my struggle is feeling like I had nothing to say.
Nothing to say? Really? Nothing?
Somewhere along the way, I lost my joy. My joy for life. My joy for work. My joy for living. How can that be, when I've fought so hard for all of it?
It hit me when I was watching an episode of "Scandal"…ridiculous really, because as much as I enjoy watching it, it is a show with an unrealistic story line.
But there was a scene between the "top gladiator" Olivia Pope and her friend Abby that hit me like a ton of bricks.
Abby says to Olivia, " There is no man to rescue you. Do you hear me? No one. No one is going to help you.
You are the only gladiator in the place. You are all you've got. You have to rescue yourself!"
And so as I go through what I believe will be the greatest heart break of my life and all sorts of uncertainty, I've decided that it is time for me to stop being everyone else's gladiator and really, truly, for the first time to be a gladiator for myself.
And so here is to the hope and faith to getting back to the strong woman I am.
It's quite apparent that this craft beer "trend" is here to stay!
The taprooms have created a very fun environment to host a corporate event or social gathering, such as a rehearsal dinner. Just know going into it, due to liquor laws, liquor cannot be served on premise (although if some people have their way, this will be overturned).
One of my favorite taprooms is 612Brew. Although I'm not much of a beer drinker, it is a nice environment to kick back, relax and chill with friends in the taproom. And, of course, the event planner in me loves their private room for events called The Cellar at Six One Two. Throw a gathering with great food, unique beer and a tour of the taproom and you have fixings for a great event!
It's probably not politically correct to refer to makeup as a woman's Super Power, but I'll admit that I have a very difficult time confidently leaving home without makeup on. It is my shield against some insecurity about my looks.This is despite the fact that friends often laugh that I never look like I'm even wearing makeup, as its always so subtle!
Everything is subtle that is but lipstick. Maybe due to the small area it covers, it is the one thing I will experiment with. So I was excited to attend StormSisters Lipstick Launch, as Becky Sturm is always working on an innovative beauty product.
Her vegan lipstick (meaning no testing on or use of animals in the making of the product) has 14 colors with enough variety that every woman can find a shade (or two) that works for her.
She brilliantly named the shades after real women, including Allison Kaplan from Mpls. St. Paul Magazine (see above).
The launch party was fun as we got a chance to get a little lipstick makeup lesson, followed up with some glitter cupcakes (which the glitter looked quite cute on top of my lipstick!)
StormSisters Lipstick can be purchased HERE or at Maiden Minnesota on November 7th.

Multiple Grade 2 winner and 2012 Breeders' Cup Classic runner-up Mucho Macho Man
completed his serious preparations for next Saturday's Grade 1,
$750,000 Whitney Invitational Handicap with a five-furlong breeze
Saturday morning.
his third local work, the 5-year-old son of Macho Uno was clocked in
1:02.18 over the main track for trainer Kathy Ritvo. On July 20, he went
five-eighths in 1:01.61.
breezed great this morning, and he came back great," Ritvo said. "It
was a very good move today. He's been very consistent with his works,
and is just feeling great."
Macho Man is coming off a third-place finish in the Criminal Type
overnight stakes at Belmont Park on June 14. Ritvo drew a parallel to
last year, when Mucho Macho Man was third in the Grade 2 Alysheba and
then came back with a solid victory in the Grade 2 Suburban Handicap,
his most recent win.
think he's going to run really good this race," Ritvo said. "He's just
doing so well. He's going into all his works good, and coming out of all
his works good. He's had a very consistent schedule, and his attitude
has been great. He's just doing very well."
a record of 6-5-5 and earnings of $2,365,410 in 20 career starts, Mucho
Macho Man is still seeking his first Grade 1 victory. In addition to
the Breeders' Cup Classic, he was second by a neck in the Grade 1
Woodward at Saratoga last summer.
"The Whitney is a great, great race to win," Ritvo said. "If we can be that blessed and get that lucky, it would be fantastic."

Security and network administrators are increasingly wary of internal security threats, in addition to threats from the outside, due to the introduction of uncertified hardware and software on the network, such as personal portable computers and mobile devices that can be potentially compromised and not compliant to the security practices of the organization. Link layer-based filtering for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) introduced in Windows Server 2008 R2 enables administrators to control network access based on media access control (MAC) address, providing a low-level security method. The link layer filtering controls allow the administrator to specify which MAC addresses are allowed on the network and which are denied access. You can use wild cards to allow or deny network access based on vendor MAC prefixes.
DHCP PowerShell introduced in Windows Server 2012 makes it very easy and seamless for admins to manage Link Layer filtering for IPv4 clients.
Following cmdlets are provided to manage Link Layer Filtering in DHCP Server:
Get-DhcpServerv4FilterList: Gets the enabled/disabled state of allow and deny filter list set.
Set-DhcpServerv4FilterList: Enables/Disables the allow and the deny MAC address filter lists.
Get-DhcpServerv4Filter: Gets the list of all MAC addresses from the allow and/or the deny list.
Add-DhcpServerv4Filter: Adds one or more MAC address filters to the allow or deny list.
Remove-DhcpServerv4Filter: Removes the specified MAC address or MAC address pattern from the allow list or the deny list of the DHCP server.
If you wan to add a large list of MAC addresses to the allow or deny filter list, an input text file in CSV format can be used to provide the MAC address filter list to be configured on the DHCP server. This data can be easily pipelined to Add-DhcpServerv4Filter cmdlet to add the complete list to the DHCP Server. The input text file (filter.csv in the example used later) containing the MAC address filters should be of the following format -
Allow,1a-1b-1c-1d-1e-1f,Filter for Computer1
Allow,2a-2b-2c-2d-2e-2f, Filter for Computer2
Deny,3a-3b-3c-3d-3e-3f, Filter for Computer3
Allow,4a-4b-4c-4d-4e-4f, Filter for Computer4
The following command adds all these filters to the local DHCP Server.
Import-Csv Filter.csv | Add-DhcpServerv4Filter -Force
The Import-Csv cmdlet converts each data record in filter.csv to an object containing List, MacAddress and Description as members of the object. Each object created by Import-Csv is sent through the pipeline to Add-DhcpServerv4Filter which adds the MAC address records to the filter list on the DHCP server.
'-Force' parameter ensures that if a filter by same MAC address already exists, it is over-ridden. If '-Force' parameter is not given and MAC address being added to the list already exists in the list on the DHCP server, the cmdlet will return an error.
In case, filters need to be added to DHCP Server running on remote machine, '-ComputerName' parameter can be used to specify remote DHCP Server. Without the ComputerName parameter, as in the example above, the filters will be added to the DHCP server running on the local computer.
Hope this blog added another tool in your PowerShell armory!
The MAC filter is a great thing but I don't understand why in the failover they are not replicated
Stefano, you can use the IPAM console in 2012R2 to configure the MAC filters on the DHCP server. IPAM will perform the configuration on both the DHCP servers. Alternatively, you can use the PowerShell script provided in the following blog -
What is the difference between the Allow & Deny filters and an allow/deny policy? In my testing, if I have a policy that allows only certain MAC addresses, adding MAC addresses to the allow or deny filter doesn't do anything. Why have both? Please point
me to documentation that details the use of filters vs. the use of policies. Thanks!
Ben, allow and deny filters are server level/global settings and apply to all scopes on the DHCP server. With MAC address based policy, you can apply different filters to different scopes on the DHCP server.
What about DHCPv6? What are the options for MAC address filtering on DHCPv6?
Erwan, MAC address filtering is not supported by Windows DHCPv6 server

But there are moments when Casablancas nudges his band into new, promising directions. "12:51" seems malnourished on first listen, but its sulky, understated twists soon turn out to be memorable. "Reptilia", meanwhile, showcases the fabulous--and teasingly underexploited--guitar playing of Albert Hammond and Nick Valensi, being a collection of chiming riffs and tumbling solos that suggest the Strokes should allow themselves the freedom to rock more often. Oh, and "Under Control" is a dream--specifically, one where the Smiths are playing "Tracks of My Tears". Best think of Room on Fire, then, as an album where the Strokes plot their escape from the predictable, but are a little too cautious to make a proper getaway. Courage, gentlemen. --John Mulvey
In my opinion, the Strokes best albums were 'Is This It' and 'Room on Fire'... both should be enjoyed on vinyl!Published 16 months ago by Amazon Customer

Truck drivers don't always get credit for the good they do. This collection of photos is from a few of the Convoy events Equipment Editor Jim Park has attended over the years. It's easy to tell from the pictures that drivers put a lot into these fundraisers. But it's more than just raising money. It's a bunch of people that often work in isolation coming together for a cause and showing the underlying sense of community that exists among drivers -- and is rarely seen in public.

Rush Truck Centers' eighth annual Tech Skills Rodeo Dec. 15-17 drew about 550 people to San Antonio. That included 106 technicians who competed in 13 equipment categories for cash and other prizes. Most brought along wives or girlfriends. Top champ was Jason Swann, from Dallas, who received his award from Rush Chairman Rusty Rush and Nascar driver Tony Stewart. Here are some views of happenings in the convention center's testing hall and at the banquet on Tuesday night as photographed by HDT Senior Editor Tom Berg.

Latest Gehtika News
Below is our complete Gehtika news coverage, including columns and articles pertaining to the band. Some articles listed may be indirectly related, such as side projects of the band members, etc.
Gehtika Recording New Album
Gehtika is sitting on a time bomb: after spending the past eight months writing a follow-up to 2013's "Impossible Question," the band is now holed up at Loud Noises Productions in JJM Studios, Walsall recording a brand new album.
This new record follows a concept the band has initially explored on recent single "Stack of Pyres" (streaming below). The extreme metal outfit from England's Midlands has also launched a Kickstarter campaign to help bring this latest artistic madness to fruition. Vocalist Anthony Knight comments:
"We have worked tirelessly over the past 7-8 months writing, rehearsing and perfecting this absolute behemoth of an album; making sure every aspect of every song is as epic as can be.
"We wanted to create something unique, something with tons of big riffs, sweeping solos, fierce vocals and enough blast beats to make your ears bleed! And so, from the deepest darkest reaches of our twisted little minds, our heaviest, most accomplished, release to date; A Monster in Mourning was born! A collection of dark, brooding and brutal compositions, which travel through a larger-than-life fantasy saga of betrayal, vengeance, redemption and countless revelations…
"We're extremely proud of what we have created; this album is an absolute BEAST, and we can't wait to share it with all of you!" More...
Gehtika Splitting With Drummer
U.K. outfit Gehtika has issued the following announcement about parting ways with the band's drummer:
"Ladies and Gentlemen, we have some rather sad news to announce. Our drummer extraordinaire, Mr. Hemming, will be leaving the Gehtika ward after Bloodstock Festival.
"This is for personal reasons and we respect his decision & wish him all the best for the future.
However, this does mean that we will now be looking for a new drummer to replace Mr Hemming.
"So please get in touch if you're interested in trying out - we have an album planned for the end of the year so we'll be holding try outs effective immediately."
You can also see the band's Bloodstock Festival announcement video at this location.
Gehtika Issues New EP Update
U.K. act Gehtika has checked in with the following announcement about progress on a new EP and working on a music video:
"A little update for you ladies and gents on our upcoming EP. We have been so spiffingly proud of the material and the recording we have done for you and we are very excited to get this new material out to you!
"Currently we are in the mixing stage and shortly after in Jan/Feb we will be shooting a music video for the single with a release date most likely aimed for March next year! We can't wait. This ladies and gentlemen captures the Gehtika sound and feel.
"In the meantime you will be able to catch us at various shows before the end of the year and in Jan/Feb. We will have new merch coming up, merch that you our loyal fans want! We hope to see your continued support going forward. You have all been brilliant!
"2013 will be a bloody spiffing year! Please continue to spread the word of the Gehtika ward! Have a spiffing day! (A preview/trailer will be coming soon for the EP, keep your eyes open!)"
Gehtika Signs To Rising Records
Escaped convicts Gehtika have inked a deal with U.K. based label Rising Records. Front man Scott comments:
"Ladies and Gentlemen! Due to our good behavior, the orderlies have granted us asylum to none other than Rising Records HQ. We will be continuing our treatment here and will be looked after (momentarily muahaha). We believe these new tactics will ensure our escape plans succeed! Our debut record will be released under Rising Records in March 2012, so be on the lookout!"
The band will also be main support to Danish aggressive thrashers Hatesphere on an upcoming run of U.K. shows. Currently announced dates are as follows:
11/12 - Leeds - The Well
12/12 - London - The Underworld

"The Luckiest" is a song by Ben Folds on the 2001 album Rockin' the Suburbs. The song was originally written for the 2000 movie release, Loser (directed by Amy Heckerling) and was deleted from the movie along with the scene it was written for, making its way that year onto the album Rockin' the Suburbs. A live version of the song in which Folds was the exclusive performer appeared on his 2002 album, Ben Folds Live. The DVD Ben Folds and WASO - Live in Perth closes out with a rendition of the song played by Folds and the West Australian Symphony Orchestra. The song is sampled in Novel's song "I Am."

About the Artist
Ben Folds Five was an alternative rock trio formed in 1993 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The group comprised Ben Folds on vocals, piano, and principal songwriting; Robert Sledge played bass and provided backing vocals; and Darren Jessee played drums, sang backing vocals and co-wrote some of the songs. The group achieved modest success in the alternative, indie and pop music scenes. The band is best known for the hit single "Brick" from their 1997 album Whatever and Ever Amen, which gained airplay on many mainstream radio stations. Much of Ben Folds Five's work was influenced by jazz, evident in frequent improv-styled passages through bridge and/or ending. During their seven years together, the band released three proper studio records, one retrospective album of B-sides & outtakes, and eight singles. They also contributed to a number of soundtracks and compilations. Ben Folds Five disbanded in October 2000, apparently under amicable circumstances. The group reunited for a one-off concert on September 18, 2008, where they played their final album, The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner, in its entirety. "The Luckiest" is a song by Ben.

2012 Kia Forte EX 4dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl 6A)
Let me first say that I'd never thought I'd look twice at a Kia until recently. THey've certainly improved their vehicles in every way. Purchased a certified 2012 Forte EX 5-door at a Kia dealer w/ 27k miles after trading in 07 Toyota Rav. This is a great design as a small wagon. Seems like a best kept secret too, since I don't see to many out there. Great looks, great mileage (30 average, more on hiway), and MUCH better acceleration than my Honda Fit. I was doing hiway speeds of 75 mph, and the tach was still under 2500 rpm! I've had it for 1 1/2 months and already put almost 3k miles, no probs. Can't beat the warrantee either. Way to go Kia.
Great acceleration, smoother ride and comfort than Honda Fit with similar MPG.
Versatile design. Sirius/XM ready.
Can only get cruise control with EX and above models. Nowadays cruise should be standard on all models.
2012 Kia Forte Koup SX 2dr Coupe (2.4L 4cyl 6A)
My car is cute. It handles great. It has also jerked, lurched and felt like it was going to stall, intermittently, since it was one year old. I've gone to the dealer repeatedly only to be told there is no computer code and they can't replicate the problem. I've complained to Kia corporate only to again have nothing done. My car feels like it is going to strand me in Honolulu traffic, and I'm told I'm crazy. Meanwhile, there are forums with hundreds of other people with the same complaint.
convenience of the controls being within reach
bad blind spots
Fix the transmission! Better customer service
2012 Kia Forte EX 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 6A)
Don't let the price tag fool you, this car is well built. It doesn't give that cheap feel you'd expect from a lower budget vehicle. The interior is very comfortable for my petite frame, I don't have trouble seeing the road or maneuvering. My larger passengers seem quite comfortable as well. Has a peppy engine and tight suspension, shifts smoothly, very quiet, brakes effortlessly.. This car does well on winding roads.
The feel of the car when driving it is very similar to the '11 Ford Focus. My Forte has high mileage (70,000 miles) & hasn't had a single problem, runs great, & is very dependable which is great since the Focus started having problems at 21,000 miles.
Bluetooth, USB hookups, remote start, bright headlights, spacious trunk, quiet ride, steering wheel controls, great gas mileage.
There is no temp gauge on dash..
I purchased the Kia Forte Hatchback (really a wagon) with 16,000 miles for $12,400.
I drive short distances to work and weekly long highway trips to family.
Recently got 43.7 mpg on a flat highway for a 100 mile drive.
Normally average 25 mpg in the city.
Easy to hit 36 mpg on the highway at 70-75 mph.
Absolutely no problems at current miles of 27K miles on the odometer-only oil changes so far.
Low key style and extremely roomy inside.
The 6 speed transmission shifts smoothly and, because the suspension on the hatchback came standard with the upgraded suspension available on the sedan, it handles nice.
Adequate horsepower for a car this size.
Note that the next generation model is not rated as getting better gas mileage.
I traded my 2009 Nissan Versa Hatchback for the 2012 Kia Forte Ex. So far I love it. It had all the bells and whistles that I wanted without the extra cost. It's a lot more fun to drive than the versa.
Blue tooth, interior style, the front seat set up
The only thing I would change is if my radio
told me the title or a song haha

Lee Spievak, RC flight enthusiast, knew something was wrong from the very moment his model plane loop-de-looped in the crisp spring air. The controls were unresponsive; it was as if the plane had a mind of its own. As the tiny toy flying machine dive-bombed towards him with the ruthlessness of a bird-of-prey, its propellor blades flashing like silver talons, Lee remembered a seemingly random event with the sudden clarity of newly forged associative connection. It was only yesterday that he had cut the side of his palm. Suddenly, Lee knew what was wrong: that model plane had tasted human blood. Worse? It wanted more. Knowing full-well that if he ran he would be chased down, Lee steeled himself, shielded his face with his hands. His finger slid through the plane's blood-thirsting teeth and out the other side. His finger tip was gone, chewed up by a propellor and digested into a slurry. It's a terrible thing to lose part of a finger, but luckily, Lee had a connection: his brother, Alan, a shaman of regenerative medicine, who sent him a small packet of "pixie dust." Like all good hoo-doo, the dust had comes from the remains of an animal: in this case, a pig's bladder scraped of its lining. The resulting cells are formed into a cellular matrix which, placed on a wound, stimulates cells to grow rather than scar. Applying the powder liberally for a month, Lee claims he was able to grow the end of his finger back... an application that has obvious promise for helping people to re-grow skin, tissue, limbs or even organs. Unfortunately, it seems like Lee might be full of it. His finger does appear to have been badly sliced, the tip lopped off, but the before-and-after pictures make clear that he lost neither bone nor nail. The pixie dust was likely nothing more than a psychological placebo, making Lee think the body's normal healing process was miraculous. Which, of course, it is. But restoring a bit of flesh on the tip of a model plane enthusiast's finger is a far cry from re-growing the amputated limbs of Iraq war veterans. The man who grew a finger [BBC]
Model plane enthusiast claims magic powder helped him regrow finger

You're just jealous of Wolverine.
Who isn't? Those mutton chops! What a dreamboat!
I don't think Wired Science (the PBS science magazine) thought it was bull when they did a story about it last year.
Nope, not bull. I read about this guy a month ago (kinda late to the show, Joel 😉
It's on the up and up, from all the other medical articles I read after that. I have to say, I'm more than a little intrigued, and would love to talk my boss into running some experiments with this stuff. (I work on the periphery of medical research.)
Yeah, my father-in-law cut off the tip of his finger slicing vegetables. From what I can see, the wound was similar in severity to Mr. Spievak's.
His finger tip grew back without the need for magic pig bladder powder.
By all means do a study, but remember the old saying: anecdotal evidence is neither.
Not wanting to be a "saw it there, like, twenty years ago" troll… but this story popped up about a month ago on BoingBoing, and even carried all the way to local news (in Australia), as well as US Network TV that gets played late night / early morning.
But for some reason… here it is again, on US Network news beamed to Au, and local / national news. I'm really curious what has driven every news agency I access to not just replay, but totally re-do this story over, with the same information, footage etc – is that a second wave of the blogospehere has started to run with it? Or has the internet corroded everyone's memory that badly?
More on topic: this is amazing tech, and the CBS (?) story I watched showed labs where they were growing replacement bladders and heart valves grown from this 'extra-cellular matrix'. Incredible stuff.
I have had pretty much exactly this wound, from a circular saw.
If you're not of a queasy disposition, you can see the pictures.
For those of you not wanting to look at the gore, the top of my finger was sliced diagonally off, nicking the bone and taking about a third of the nail with it.
Within a few months, it had mostly grown back, and three years on, my finger is completely healed. The nail grows a little oddly, but you'd have to look pretty closely to see the difference.
I was skeptical when I first heard this story, and I'm not any more impressed this time 'round.
On January 22nd, I sliced off two finger tips while using a vegetable mandolin. My tips have grown back with "minimal defect" (as the doc said), and the only magic powder I used was QR Powder to stop the profuse bleeding.
I can't recommend that stuff highly enough. It *instantly* stopped my bleeding, even the nurses and doctor were impressed my it.
In a recent issue of Scientific American, there was a great article on limb regeneration:
In fact, the tip of your finger actually follows similar principles of regrowth that a salamander's entire arm or leg does. So the man's claim is not entirely far fetched, however, no magic powder needed, except, perhaps to keep it clear of infection.

Oh boy is this good. I used half and half for a very decadent treat. I had already brewed coffee when I decided to do make this so I just added cardamon to the milk mixture on the stove top and made careful to not to get any in the cup. It was flavorful and delicious.
Really great! I have used cinnamon in a similar recipe, but never cardamom. Delicious! I used my French Press Pot to brew the coffee, and did the milk in microwave frother and frothed the milk a little. (I only made for 1 serving-my method would be hard to do for all 4 servings)

Podpress said there was an upgrade available so I downloaded it, uploaded it to my plugin folder, then tried to extract it over the top of my old installation. No deal. Nothing happened.
What should I do?
And if it involves deleting the old installation is there a way of saving all my settings?

Product description
In his final year at the Royal College of Music, star pianist Flynn Laukonen has the world at his feet. He has moved in with his girlfriend Jennah and is already getting concert bookings for what promises to be a glittering career. Yet he knows he is skating on thin ice - only two small pills a day keep him from plunging back into the whirlpool of manic depression that once threatened to destroy him. Unexpectedly his friends seem to be getting annoyed with him for no apparent reason, he needs less and less sleep, he is filled with unbridled energy. Events begin to spiral out of control and Flynn suddenly finds himself in hospital, heavily sedated, carnage left behind him. The medication isn't working any more, the dose needs to be increased, and depression strikes again, this time with horrific consequences. His freedom is snatched away and the medicine's side-effects threaten to jeopardize his chances in one of the biggest piano competitions of his life. It seems like he has to make a choice between the medication and his career. But in all this he has forgotten the one person he would give his life for, and Flynn suddenly finds himself facing the biggest sacrifice of all.

Customer reviews
By Stephanie Forster (Stepping out of the Page) 05 Nov 2011
I enjoyed reading this book as it was quite effective and very realistic. Flynn has bipolar disorder and this is what the book is based around - showing Flynn's actions, decisions and the impact that it has upon his family and friends - especially with his girlfriend, Jennah. I think the two prominent aspects of Bipolar Disorder (manic and depressive episodes) were portrayed well. The story was authentic and the struggles both Flynn and Jennah faced felt genuine. It didn't feel as though things were simply happening to make it an interesting plot but because these things could and probably would happen. It made me sit back and think about what they were going through - was Flynn just in his decision whether or not to take his mood stabilizers? Was the end decision ultimately the best for the both of them? The ending absolutely crushed me - it was heartbreaking but it really packed an emotional punch. A really intriguing and gratifying book.
Review quote
"With studies showing one in 10 children have a mental health disorder, this is a topical book with an emotional range that aids a breadth of understanding" -- The Bookseller Jake Hope "Suzuma's novel effectively demonstrates that real love, sometimes, will involve setting the loved one free" Irish Times "This is the kind of sequel that every excellent book deserves" Inis "Suzuma is a master storyteller, dealing with her characters in a very realistic and uncompromising way" Bookfest "A love story that tackles the reality of young adult depression in a thoughtful and sensitive way" Irish Independent

Anna Friel's new spy thriller – clearly an attempt to replicate the success of Homeland – fails to produce a single moment of originality
Some of the people behind shows such as Homeland, The Good Wife and Girls took part in the first night of panels at the TV festival in LA
The ITV crime drama will be back for a third series – despite many viewers feeling that the second one wasn't a patch on the first. It's not the first drama that possibly should have bowed out earlier …
Disappointed viewers are losing patience with Broadchurch. But as The Killing and Homeland proved, sometimes it's worth playing the long game when it comes to TV drama, says Stuart Jeffries
Review Last Tango in Halifax review – jealousy, resentment, class and love, all beautifully written and observedSam Wollaston: Sally Wainwright's drama about family and relationships is so good it makes you think about your own
Gwilym Mumford: Whether you enjoyed this finale episode depends on what you expect from Homeland – but it was, without question, the best season since it began
As the former Emmy-winner wraps up its fourth season, it still can't seem to find the balance between the personal and the political
Sam Wollaston: I don't know who won, but I do know Lord Sugar's show was not the winner. Now if he'd only do a stint on Homeland ...
Gwilym Mumford: The relationship between Carrie and Saul is brought back into focus in the best episode of the season, if not one of the strongest in the entire show
Senator Lockhart's back, Saul edges closer to Afghanistan and Carrie is off on a trip of her own …
Sharmila and James Collins have four daughters – Sohana, the eldest, is 12 and has never known a day without pain. She has EB, a rare, agonising skin condition, and her mother has devoted herself to fundraising to boost research into a cure that will help all children born with it
Newspaper will use three-minute slot during US drama to show film about the kidnapping of two of its journalists in Syria
Gwilym Mumford: How nice to see Carrie sneaking about, disobeying orders and generally being difficult again. Let's hope she can keep it up
Gwilym Mumford: Homeland's return to form was too good to be true, as this ill-judged episode proved – has it all become a bit of a drag?
Lord Sugar's new apprentices seem uncannily like all the old ones, while Homeland falls flat without Brody, writes Andrew Anthony
The measure From Donna Wilson's jumpers and Clooney's new mother-in-law to Moschino's new iPhone case and sports bras – what's hot and what's not this weekThumbs up: Donna Wilson's new knitwear range, Baria Alamuddin and Homeland. Thumbs down: Moschino's Barbie mirror phone case, sports bras as tops and single earrings

Historical Traveler Reviews Regal Port Douglas
Very Nice
My wife and I stayed two weeks at the Regal. We found the position to be excellent. We were able to walk to most places with the beach only a few minutes walk and the shops, restaurants just around the corner. The pool area is small but we prefer to walk to the beach than spend our time around a pool. We stayed on the top floor and used the stairs several times a day. We are both in our 50's and did not find it difficult although if you do have some disability that may be a need for concern. The staff were very friendly and helpfull. We would stay there again.
Whats all the hype about????
Stayed here for six nights. On arival with our two year old daughter we were told that we had been put in room 36a wich was on the top floor and had excellent views.
Sound's ok, till you find out that there is no lift and we had to carry a two year old and her buggy up three large flights of stairs two or three times a day in very hot conditions. Oh! make that five flights of stairs if you use the underground parking facility.
This was only part of the problem. As we had arrived in Cairns on a seven hour overnight flight from Singapore and drove another hour or so to Port Douglas we were quite tired. When we got in the room all we wanted to do was get some sleep, however, what we weren't told was that there is bulding work going on in the shops below the rooms and you could not sleep for the noise as it was vibrating through the floor.
After complaining we were told that it was only for the day and we could use another room to get some sleep. I questioned this as major renovations do not last one day. I asked to be moved to another room because of the stair-no-lift situation but was told that they were fully booked.
The noise did not last just one day as i had expected but conitnued through-out our stay, addmittedly at a slightly reduced level. We just went out to avoid it.
The pool and area is cramped and small and only gets the sunlight for about three hours in the morning so you can forget about sunbathing and the photographs on the website are taken cleverly to show area's that seem bigger than they are.
Port Douglas on the other hand is beautiful and we really enjoyed our stay there. I never usually take the time to write a review about something but I used other peoples views on this site to book this appartment and felt let down. So if you are thinking of staying here, i hope this is of use to you and to all you other review writers...........you must be so easily pleased.
Excellent Location and Apartments
We stayed in a two bedroomed unit. The rooms were each self contained, connected by a private hallway, so secure for families.
The staff were excellent, very helpful and knowledgeable about the area. They also arranged babysitting, and the lady who came (Shirley) quickly placed our three year old at ease.
The location cannot be beat. A short stroll to Four Mile Beach, and right on Macrossan for access to all local amenities.
Would definitely stay here again, if we were lucky enough to return.
Fantastic Apartments
The Regal on Macrossan is fantastic if you're staying in Queensland. The apartments are well located at one end of Macrossan Street, the main street through Port Douglas. Only a couple of minutes walk away are lots of shops, bars and restaurants, plus the beach.
Really friendly and helpful staff. We rented a 1 bed apartment with outdoor jacuzzi and it was beautiful. Large, clean, well equipped lounge/dining room/kitchen area with hob, microwave, toaster, washing machine, tumble dryer, and everything we needed. Big bedroom with plenty of wardrobe space. Enormous bathroom with a very spacious shower cubicle - no bath but we did have the hottub outside.
The hottub on the balcony is completely private. There are louvred shutters so you can either let some light in, keep it completely closed or slide the shutters back and let the light in.
The staff can also advise on and book trips, and organised the airport shuttle from Cairns. I would definitely recommend
Great place
We stayed here for a few nights, and found it as others have said - clean, convenient, and spacious. We also were upgraded to a one-bedroom unit, and loved having the extra space and a washer/dryer in the unit. The management was very helpful and accommodating. The ONLY downside is that there is no elevator at present and dragging suitcases up three flights of unairconditioned stairs was not much fun. Less than a block to shopping, restaurants, post office, etc. We liked being close to things and were very glad we had decided against the larger places out of town.
Wonderful staff, perfect location - Will stay here again!!!!
I did a LOT of research to find a great place to stay in Port Douglas. Some of it was based on reviews from this site. Anyhow, we are SO glad we chose this property. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful with any questions or needs we had. We had to take a night flight and didnt arrive until very late, but the manager was nice enough to go out and buy milk and cereal so we would have something to eat in the morning. The rooms were clean and comfortable with a large living area. We had a huge balcony overlooking the pool with a grill, very large glass table, and a jacuzzi. To tell you the truth, the jacuzzi went unused as it was really too hot outside for a hot jacuzzi to be appealing...and it was an odd one as you had to lie down in it as if you were lying in a bed - so you might want to skip this option. The pool area is small but lovely, with a little island in the middle and a three story waterfall. It was never crowded. And the location of the Regal is perfect - it is on a quiet street away from any bars, but all you have to do is walk out, turn the corner and you are in town. We never had to worry about shuttles or taxis to town. We will definitely be staying here again!
What a lovely place to stay....
By far one of the best Apartment hotels that we stayed during our 3 week tour of the East coast of Australia. The location is absolutely unbetable compared to any of the other Hotels in Port Douglas. We were really impressed with the prompt email communication we had with the staff prior to arrival and their friendliness. Not only did they book airport trasnfers for us but upon arrival we were given a detailed guide on Port Douglas and the best way to see the Great Barrier Reef and all at no extra cost or comission to them in any way!. We were upgraded from a studio to a 1 bedroom apartment and the indoor Jacuzzi was a real treat. Rooms are so clean and furnished really well. The room had a washing machine and a dryer plus very well kept kitchen with plenty of crockery. Extremly good value for money and the manager himself helped us with our luggage and told us that they are in the process of installing lifts which I am sure will be an added bonus for guests to carry their luggage up and down.
I would not recommend the studio though as it is a little crammed for 2 people but would be ideal for the single traveller. In our opinion it is worth paying a little extra for the one bedroom apartment as the apartment is 4 times the size than the studio. Their website is accurate and gives adequate information for guests prior to arrival.
Absolutely Fantastic
My third stay in Port Douglas in four years but my first time at the Regal Port Douglas. Stayed here for 12 nights in January this year an we were upgraded to one of their honeymoon suites, #39, and it was fantastic! We had a huge and I mean huge private roof terrace with a jacuzzi hot-tub, every evening we spent up there just gazing at the stars! The location was superb, we were on the top floor so we had privacy and peace and quiet and a marvellous view of the village and yet we were in the centre of the village, the shops, restaurants and bars are all 2-3 minutes stroll away, you really get to savour the charm and atmosphere of the place, if you stay at one of the 5 star hotels a few miles out it is not the same at all, believe me, and you have to rely on taxis or shuttle buses. The staff at the Regal are all extremely pleasant and helpful!!!!
Without a doubt our best stay here, we relaxed and had a great time and it was a bit of a wrench to leave, so if you get the chance stay here, you will not be disappointed!
Thank you "The Regal" for making our stay in Paradise so perfect!
This is a wonderful hotel in the perfect location. The rooms are huge and spotlessly clean with every convenience you require.
The management team were very welcoming and willingly answered our questions on trip to the Barrier Reef and gave us some great tips on places to eat. (Try "On the Inlet" at Sunset - Fantastic!)
All the guests we spoke to here agreed that this must be one of the gems in Port Douglas.
We can't wait to return here and will recommend this place to everyone travelling to Northern Queensland.
Relaxed easy living
Had a week there and it is an excellent place to stay. We had the top floor (honeymoon suite) which has a very, very large outdoor area that includes an outdoor spa. It also has an indoor spa bath. Furnishings etc are of a high standard and the resort was well maintained. It also has an excellent pool area. Reception staff were very helpful and friendly. It is well located being a few minutes walk from 4 mile beach and close to numerous restaurants.

Laid-back Port Douglas!
... time and a snooze filled our day, and BBQing steaks and a walk on the beach filled the evening. Tomorrow we are off for more snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef... The northern part of this holiday has been very relaxing, more like a beach holiday, so it's been a great way to wind up our time in Australia, which seems to be quickly drawing to a close! ...

The original Tomorrow People, this was my favorite show as a kid. We didn't get many British television imports, besides Benny Hill or the occasional Dr. Who. I couldn't wait for the Thames opening to come on and then the title sequence. Their titles had a very X-Files/Fringe feel to it, 30 years ago.

In a move designed to improve the way the Army purchases and tracks its IT equipment, officials on July 5 announced a new process for certain IT buys.
The Army CIO/G-6 office now will assume responsibility for granting waivers for Army components seeking to buy commercial off-the-shelf technologies from alternative sources. Previously, that decision rested with the Army Computer Hardware, Enterprise Software and Solutions (CHESS) office, the primary source for Army IT purchases.
"This change will bring the Army one step closer to the goal of ensuring visibility and accountability of all IT expenditures throughout the Army," CHESS Program Manager Brendan Burke wrote in an Army release. "With the signing of the policy memorandum on June 6, 2013, the Secretary of the Army formalized the collaborative effort lead by the CIO/G-6 to help the Army better track all IT expenditures across the force."
The new policy also designates a single website for requests from components seeking a waiver – something that is done in situations where there is no adequate CHESS contract vehicle, or if users require capabilities that are not part of a current CHESS contract, the release noted. The Goal 1 Waiver website will serve as a central point for non-CHESS IT purchase requests to be fully vetted, according to the release.
"This effort will ensure customer compliance with Army policies, as well as capture more details about the amount and type of funding being executed outside of the CHESS program," Burke wrote. "By combining the data collected from the G1W and the existing sales data available from CHESS contracts, the Army will improve the visibility into total IT spending."
The policy change is part of broader, Army-wide efforts spearheaded by the CIO/G-6 office to collaborate on and keep track of IT acquisition. With the new plans the Army also aims to cut down on costs and improve standardization and compliance.
The migration of the waiver approval for [COTS IT] purchases outside of the CHESS program to the CIO/G-6 represents a significant change in business process for the Army, Burke wrote. "Like any change in process, this change could potentially impact procurement plans for the end of the fiscal year. However, it also reflects the kind of change that is needed to achieve the increased visibility, cost savings, and improved network security required by the Army directive to achieve IT management reform."
The Army release also includes an FAQ with more information for those affected by the policy change.

Rated 4.4 out of 5 by 182 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Prits Best Mauritian Address My favorite Mauritian resort... The staff is definitely very welcoming and you can instantly feel the warmth of the surrounding and people once you embark. Special mention to Ranveer and Joelle and the butler Vikash, who were so pleasant and cheerful in their respective positions... Graat professionalism... One of the hotel you can even find various activities indoor. I will definitely come back and i recommend 100%. June 26, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by JL56 place to relax we spent 10 days at the St Regis Le Morne and we had a very good time. Location, Hotel facilities and the food in the several restaurants are perfect. But the best is the staff. All employees are very kind, very helpful and cheerful. Above all we would like to mention David and Angele from the bar, David the sommelier, Karen and Riad the butlers, Juliette from the restaurant and all the others who made our stay unforgettable. This is a place to come back! May 10, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by JetSetters Amazing beachfront location and design The hotel is very well designed and the colonial architecture blends into the environment very well. It is far from commercial and most of the rooms are very close to the beach (just remember to bring your coral shoes as it is not sandy once you get in the sea). Lots of beachfront and great ambiance at the bars and restaurants. Don't hesitate to communicate with the management as they are very warm and extremely accommodating. Kite surfing very unique and a must do for thrill seekers. Great amenities! March 20, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by NevPoo This Hotel is amazing I had a very pleasant peaceful moment with my family. It was an amazing experience. The people out there, the rooms the service, the food... Everything was just excellent.. March 11, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by sdp24 Beautiful hotel with great features The beach, the location at the foothills of Le Morne and the beautiful colonial architecture, makes this hotel an idyllic escape. Great place to relax and the spa tempts one to rejuvenate. The team is friendly and professional, the services and facilities meet all needs for a relaxing break. The colonial suite is very spaciaous and with tasteful decor. The only suggestion would be to include tea making facilities in the minibar. February 3, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by al208 Wonderful experience The Js Beachfront was beautiful and comfortable. The service starting from the reception, concierge, butler and the restaurants was professionally excellent with the extra human and very personal touch. The food was very good and especially the boathouse was a very beautiful place to unwind. The beach service was outstanding and we felt all the time like in paradise. We will go back for sure! December 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Norman14 This hotel is a perfect beach holiday The hotel is a perfect spot for relaxation and activity. The beach and sea are beautiful. The outdoor activities are very well organised. The rooms are superb. Plenty of choice for restaurants. The staff are very friendly and attentive. December 10, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by NewMrsE Great Hotel with some room for improvement The St Regis Mauritius is a beautifully property that has impeccable landscaping, a beautiful pool and wonderful restaurants. We made the hotel the final stop on our honeymoon and enjoyed three days relaxing at the pool and on our amazing private terrace. I was a little disappointed, however, that the hotel didn't really do anything special for our honeymoon. I don't generally expect anything for free, but the three other hotels we stayed at during the trip all recognized it in some way, whether with a bottle of wine or champagne, a little welcome gift, etc. We booked a romantic (and quite expensive) private dinner on the hotel jetty, which would have been an excellent way for the hotel to acknowledge our special occasion with something as small as a complimentary glass of champagne. To be fair, our butler put some rose petals on our bed that eventing, but coming off of other hotels doing a little more, I have to say that this left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth. Some other thoughts: - Room was lovely and the breakfast was fabulous! - Spa was great. I really enjoyed my treatment there. - We ate at the Floating Market, Le Manoir and our private dinner (chef was wonderful about customizing a menu for us) - all excellent - For a luxury hotel (and a new one at that), the towels and robes in the rooms didn't meet expectations. They were thin, pilled and often stained. - The staff was wonderful about making us aware of options and helping us book things prior to our trip. It would have been helpful to have all of the dinners/activities we discussed in the months leading up to the trip printed out an in our room upon arrival. All in all, it was a wonderful experience with just a few things we thought could be improved upon. December 2, 2014

Oklahoma City Thunder: Kevin Durant fined $25,000 for 'menacing gesture'
Durant scored a game-high 31 points with 10 rebounds and eight assists in the win.
The victory moved the Thunder a half-game ahead of San Antonio for first place in the Western Conference while dropping the Warriors just a half-game ahead of Houston for sixth place. Golden State potentially could fall to the eighth seed and meet the Thunder in a first-round matchup.
"They played playoff basketball and we didn't," said Warriors coach Mark Jackson. "That was a team that's chasing the No. 1 seed and was trying to send a message, 'Just in case I see you at some point down the road.'"
