Australia served up on a platter, literally ... MasterChef's world food week continues.
Tension is ratcheting higher and higher this week on MasterChef, as we inch, with agonising slowness, ever closer to the end of the series, when the contestants will have to attempt to integrate into normal society once more.
Can they do it? Early signs are not good, especially when Wednesday night's episode begins with the potential evictees walking into the MasterChef kitchen to find a massive map of the world made from tables covered with food from all around the globe.
This is ominous enough, but they have to make things worse by getting Kelty to comment on it. His pride at being able to identify different kinds of food is, frankly, sickening, and he's not even cooking tonight – couldn't we have had a night off?
Ins and outs of MasterChef class of 2013
Out: Daniel.
We then move on to the suspenseful question of whether Emma is going to use her immunity pin. In the spirit of 2013, the International Year of Being Quite Sensible, she does, and gets to go up to the balcony, where she has to stand near Kelty, so it's a mixed blessing.
Each contestant must cook with ingredients from a particular continent. Samira goes straight for Africa because she has a stereotype to uphold. Daniel picks Australia because he didn't quite understand the question. Lucy picks Asia for no particular reason, a decision which utterly enrages Rishi, who I'm pretty sure thinks she did it out of racism.
Samira proceeds to spend what seems far too long emphasising that Egypt is in Africa, so if she cooks Egyptian food that will be African, and so she picked Africa because her husband is Egyptian, which is in Africa, which has Egypt in it, so the food she cooks will be African because it's Egyptian. Got that?
Daniel is cooking seafood, as he has always loved getting disgusting substances all over his hands. Lucy is also cooking seafood, specifically crab cakes, a dish which she admits she doesn't know how to make.
I can't help feeling that Lucy has failed to fully think through her strategy. Luckily George comes along to tell her she's doing everything wrong, so she starts doing some different things.
Samira is bucking the crustacean trend, and making dukkah lamb cutlets, and also placing an eggplant on a hotplate as a sort of performance art.
Meanwhile, the judges discuss which continent they would have chosen, which turns out to be a conversation even less interesting than you'd think.
Daniel is busily trying to make a fruit salsa, handicapped by the huge figure Asher Keddie which suddenly looms up from the corner of the screen and sticks her head all over his bench.
He asks Lynton for advice. Lynton would clearly rather be sleeping.
"Are you comfortable with these flavours?" Gary asks Daniel.
It turns out he's not very comfortable with his flavours. In fact he's committing the classic MasterChef error: choosing the moment when there is most at stake to start experimenting with things you've never tried before.
Lucy has problems of her own, mainly Matt hanging around nagging and wasting her time.
He advises her in a very long-winded way to, in essence, cook something good that isn't bad.
Kelty thinks Daniel might have bitten off more than he can chew. Once again we puzzle over just why we are being forced to listen to Kelty's opinions.
With five minutes to go, Lucy still hasn't dismembered her crab, a process which turns out to be extremely difficult.
All too late, Lucy discovers evolution has been conspiring against her. She runs over to the map of Asia. I don't know why.
Samira seems to have done very well.
With 10 seconds to go, it comes as quite a shock to discover everyone has finished their dish in the nick of time.
Lucy confesses to being stupid, and feels better for finally putting an end to the lies. She has two little balls on a plate, and Matt wastes no time in informing her of what a failure she is. He wastes even less time in elaborating, listing in detail everything wrong with her dish, which turns out to be literally everything in it.
Daniel has fared no better, with George telling him that the negative is his entire dish.
Last is Samira, who is hardly even bothering to hide her delight at how horrible her rivals' dishes are. She does, however, note that it wouldn't be good if the lamb was overcooked or undercooked, and therefore wins a special prize for having made MasterChef's 1 millionth mention of the bleeding obvious.
It's actually very well cooked and Samira wins the first round and is safe, leaving Lucy and Daniel to sweat and cry a bit longer in their struggle to avoid the creeping terror of returning to their families.
Samira must now choose the continent which Lucy and Daniel must cook from, for reasons which are quite literally non-existent. Lucy's head then explodes and Gok Wan waggles his finger at us.
Daniel doesn't want Samira to choose North America because he's never cooked bison before. He's OK with South America because then he can cook Mexican. Daniel doesn't know that Mexico is in North America and really does deserve to go home right now.
Lucy says that Samira might as well have picked Timbuktu, which isn't even a continent, so to hell with both of them.
They both run to the North American table. Daniel decides to make a bagel, while Lucy decides to just stand and stare at the table.
In the end she decides to make an Eton mess, a famous dessert named after prestigious North American public school Eton. The audience pauses for a moment to consider that, with finals week almost upon us, this elite competition has come down to Eton mess versus a bagel, and let the crushing despair seep through us all.
George asks Lucy what she's doing.
Lucy has no real answers. She runs to the table.
Emma yells "pretzels!" Lucy grabs pretzels. She runs back. Emma runs along the balcony for some reason.
Daniel recognises that a smoked-salmon cream-cheese bagel is pretty simple, so he's making a real effort to put a lot of unpleasant things into it and make it more complicated.
He tells George and Gary what he's doing. They find him absurd. They pull faces. Daniel is gutted. He goes back to the idea of a simple bagel – today the winner will be whoever is the most boring cook.
Matt says they shouldn't try to juggle while they're on a tightrope. I think he's drunk.
Daniel thinks it's too late to change his idea, given that every idea he has takes at least an hour to penetrate his skull. Up on the balcony Samira and Christina look desperate for a smoke. Kelty talks a bit more, goddammit.
Christina's heart is breaking because Daniel has no confidence. At least that's what she says: she looks like she's reading it off a cue card.
Daniel is so stressed out he begins committing grievous bodily harm on a mixer.
Lynton believes Daniel can do it.
Emma, meanwhile, is very much on Team Lucy, who is merrily watching cream and burning sugar. While attending to the burnt sugar, she ruins her cream. She has to start again. How on earth did either of these people even reach the first audition for this show?
Daniel is making cream cheese and would appreciate it if the peanut gallery would shut their traps.
With five minutes to go Lucy has started assembling, but is being distracted by Emma's outrageous flirting from above.
Daniel has put something on a plate but god only knows what it is. It looks like some kind of sarcastic neo-Marxist sculpture of a sandwich.
Time is up, and if an Eton mess is supposed to look like a random bunch of stuff haphazardly jammed in a bowl, Lucy has done extremely well.
First to be judged is Daniel, who serves up his "bagel" and admits that his problem has been that he has been trying to be really good.
Being good is just not in his skill set and he needs to aim lower, he sees that now.
Tasting the bagel, George wants more cream cheese and less salmon, and he also wants to make some obscene gestures with his fingers.
Matt thinks the bagel's design is old-fashioned, which really does seem irritatingly picky.
Oh, apparently Lucy's dish is called a "Washington" mess. You are not fooling anyone, Lucy. We are on to you.
Lucy bursts into tears at what a shambles it is. She wants to work with food so badly.
"Why?" George demands, knowing what a terrible life it is and finding it ridiculous that anyone would want to.
The judges quite like Lucy's bowl of cream with bits in it, but aren't sure whether it's better than Daniel's slices of toast with bits between them.
It will be a tough and dispiriting decision for everyone.
Judgment time arrives. Gary tells Daniel his dish was tasty but was arranged like a clock, which is apparently a terrible faux pas, confirming yet again what moronic criteria these dishes get judged on.
Lucy wins because her big bowl of mushed-up nothing looked better, according to the judges, than Daniel's bagel and little orange things in a circle.
Hence MasterChef finally plunges into a Kafkaesque nightmare of meaninglessness and self-destruction as Daniel walks out the front door and says he knows it's just the start, even though it's the end.
We see a sneak preview of "dream week", in which proceedings will take on an even more hallucinogenic aspect, but not before it's time to see Asher Keddie crying at a funeral.
A funeral for Daniel's food dreams? No, but wouldn't that be cool?

November 3, 2007
Annie Leibovitz had little to fear when younger sister Barbara
pointed the documentary-maker's lens.
IT IS A FACT UNDISPUTED that Annie Leibovitz, the celebrity
photographer so successful she became a celebrity in her own right,
has been blessed with an unusually close family.
This status was in part imposed on the six Leibovitz siblings by
their career air force father, who moved between military bases
around the US every few years and the Philippines during the Vietnam War.
The constant travelling taught the young Anna-Lou, as her family
still call her, to frame the world through the windows of the family
station wagon, a sister conjectures in the documentary Annie
Leibovitz: Life Through a Lens.
It engendered the spark of creativity into the young girl that would
eventually lead to her appointment as the court photographer of the
Hollywood glitterati, celebrities across the fields of politics,
business, fashion and the arts, and that curious breed of people
simply famous for being famous.
Nor would a piquant imagination have hurt the construction of her
other-worldly yet hyper-real fantasias. Witness Keira Knightley
dressed as The Wizard of Oz's Dorothy, flying through the air in the
muscular arms of a monkey-man. Donald Trump and his pregnant wife
Melania, she clad in a gold bikini posing on the steps of their
private jet; he all sober businessman in a limousine on the tarmac.
Whoopi Goldberg grinning maniacally in a bath of milk.
Leibovitz doesn't do ugly. Her portraits play up to the subjects'
ego, placing them in sometimes curious but always powerful positions.
They obfuscate with all the mania of a celebrity magazine while
paying lip-service to the "real person".
The film's lone voice of dissent to Leibovitz's brilliance, critic
Vicki Goldberg, says: "People do talk about these as being story
portraits. It's a story that's one sentence long. I do think of them
mostly as one-liners."
It's up to Hillary Clinton, however, to unwittingly provide the line
of the film with the observation: "She has become a major chronicler
of our country what we care about, what we are thinking about."
And perhaps the viewer's reaction to her work will be largely the
result of their take on celebrity culture.
Those who find a troubling emptiness at the heart of Leibovitz's
rampantly beautiful work will find in Life Through a Lens a similar
glossy surface with questionable foundations; a failure to reveal the
subject, despite the documentary maker being her youngest sister,
Barbara Leibovitz.
Or, perhaps, because of. The course of our interview and its
aftermath reveals Barbara to be the self-appointed gatekeeper of her
sister, guarding her story like a car yard rottweiler.
It starts out innocently enough, the basic tenets of the story
unspooling like the rags-to-riches archetype. Leibovitz's early break
with counter-culture magazine Rolling Stone. Going on the road with
the Rolling Stones for their 1975 tour, during which she became
increasingly reliant on cocaine ("I did everything you're supposed to
do when you go on tour with the Rolling Stones. Imagine everything
you can possibly do and I did it.") Rehab.
Shooting the seminal photograph of John Lennon naked, curled
foetus-like around a clothed Yoko Ono ("The Pieta of our times," says
Rolling Stone founder Jann Wenner) just hours before his murder in
1980. A move to Vanity Fair, where her imagination was given a boost
via a supportive editor in Tina Brown and an unlimited budget. A
longstanding relationship with feminist writer Susan Sontag, which
ended with Sontag's death in 2004.
Her talent as a photographer stems partly from the ability, remarked
upon by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, among others, to disappear.
Maybe it's this talent for unobtrusiveness that makes her a not
entirely satisfactory subject for a documentary.
Despite being before the camera rather than behind it, Leibovitz in
Life Through a Lens keeps disappearing behind the glossy cavalcade of
marching bands, circus performers and water nymphs she marshals as
framing devices for her celebrities.
The documentary, made for US channel PBS' American Masterpiece
series, luxuriates in voluptuous shoots for George Clooney amid a
bevy of bikini-clad women for Vanity Fair, and Kirsten Dunst in
period costume on the set of Marie Antoinette for Vogue.
A 58-year-old with sensible shoes and unkempt hair couldn't compete
if, indeed, she wanted to.
But there are also moments of real emotion, such as when Leibovitz
breaks down looking at deathbed photographs of Sontag. The trouble
with Barbara brews when she is asked if there is a reason the PBS
publicity materials refer to Sontag as Leibovitz's "friend" when it
is a matter of public record that they were partners for 15 years.
The New York Times' failure in Sontag's obituary to mention her
relationship with Leibovitz was remarked on elsewhere as being part
of a culture of whitewashing lesbianism.
But this coyness, it transpires later, is not so surprising. The
couple generally referred to their relationship as a "friendship",
despite Leibovitz describing it in several interviews as "a love
story" and telling the San Francisco Chronicle: "Call us 'lovers'. I
like 'lovers'. You know, 'lovers' sounds romantic. I mean, I want to
be perfectly clear. I love Susan." And Barbara is initially unfazed:
"Annie's not hiding anything. I think Annie's been very open about
it. It's out there."
But then comes the rethink, and with it an email, via a publicist,
complaining about my "inappropriate" questioning. Barbara takes a
similar line to questions about Leibovitz's three children, the
undeniably cute poppets Sarah, 6, and twins Samuelle and Susan, 2.
The only explanation for their existence comes via the line that
Leibovitz found herself at age 50 remembering she'd forgotten to have children.
In a question later labelled by Barbara as tabloid, I ask if
Leibovitz had fertility treatment, or did she adopt or use a surrogate?
"(She did) I think what any single mum would do when they want to
have kids," Barbara says. "They do whatever they can. I don't think I
should go into it."
Very well then. It transpires, via Google, that Sarah was carried by
Leibovitz when she was 51 (she photographed herself naked and
gloriously pregnant for Vanity Fair, images reprinted for her 2006
exhibition and book A Photographer's Life: 1990-2005). The twins were
the product of a surrogate.
And those pesky questions keep popping up.
Another sister, Susan Leibovitz Steinman, comments in the film that
being immersed in a world of celebrities has changed her sister.
Barbara, again more PR agent than documentary maker, comments, "We're
more your average Joe, she's really surrounded by a whole other world
of people … I still think she is the same core person I have known my
whole life."
Perhaps this need for answers is another sad byproduct of the nature
of celebrity culture that demands the closure of troublesome gaps in
a private narrative. But is it really so unreasonable when a film is
touted as a rare exposure of its subject's personal and artistic life?
There is no benefit to delicate circumspection from a biographer,
especially when the subject is publicity friendly enough to have been
immortalised in wax by Madame Tussaud's, on television by The
Simpsons and in film by Almost Famous.
The truth, like many of Leibovitz's photographs, is out there and
freely available to anyone who cares to find it. But Life Through a
Lens presents only brief snatches of it amid the beautiful artifice
of a celebrity-filled life.
Life Through a Lens (18+) screens at ACMI from Thursday until
Saturday at 7pm and Sunday at 5.30pm; www.acmi.net.au

July 02 2011 - Rocky Mountain Run
Like this Adventure
This trip was
another last minute go. I was given my "kitchen pass" about 09:00 and
was on the road by 10:00. This is why I have my bike in the garage ready to go.
For days like this. Fueled up in Valley Ridge (West side of Calgary).
West on highway #1 Trans Canada to Kananaskis turn off to highway 40 south.
Watch this road for speed traps and wildlife.
Stopped for fuel at Fortress Junction store. This will extend my backountry
range. This stop is exactly 100 km from the gas station in Valley Ridge. A nice
way to check your gas mileage. Mine 7.75 litres/100km. Left here around 11:10.
Near the summit of Highwood Pass was a group of cross country skiers on their
pavement rigs heading up the shoulder. It was funny looking because they were
all in unison and you wouldn't expect to see the "skiing" motion.
I had to stop and take the summit photo. Nice to catch the mountain goats as
The area around Highwood Junction is very beautiful. You can tell which valley
the Forestry Trunk Road is in if you look south and see the dust rising. This
road was very busy due to it being a long weekend. Passing in theses conditions
can be a little dicey.
My plan was to head south then pick up the Dutch Creek Road westbound and seek
out the Deadmans Pass crossing. Good signage on the FTR, Zumo 550 with Canada
Topo, and the essential Backroad Mapbooks all work together and kept me where I
wanted to go. Out of the Dutch Creek staging area the road is signed as Dutch
Creek Connector Road. It heads northwest to begin with then southwest into some
of the most spectacular scenery in the Canadian Rockies. This is another reason
I have my bike.
At the Chinook Lake staging area I talked to a fellow that had been on some of
the trails in the area. He advised me against tackling the Deadmans Pass trail
with such a large bike. When I ride solo, I listen to stuff like that!
Skip Deadmans Pass until I am riding with some buddies.
Now south on Allison Creek road to pick up Highway #3 the Crowsnest. Time to
ride slab to Sparwood, take on some fuel and food. Next leg a long one.
A &W has a Husky gas station right beside it. Out of there 15:15.
South on slab to pick up Hartley Pass road just before Fernie. This is easy to
find with the above mentioned tools. The ride up to Hartley Lake is an easy
dualsport ride. Again very busy due to long weekend. Past Hartley Lake is very
remote and untraveled.
The plan is to cross Hartley Pass and pick up Sulphur Creek to Bull river. It
is easy to stay on the main road through here. At Bull River road turning north
to follow Bull River FSR. This is a very active logging area and with all the
wet weather in previous weeks, the road is rough and it looks like they have
been working hard to keep it operational for the logging trucks.
Now to try the Quinn Creek route to Whiteswan Lake. I have done the Bull
River around to Whiteswan but have heard that this route will do as well.
As I travelled a few km's up this road, clearly there were no fresh tracks,
just two sets of the same 4 x 4 from before the last rain. That is not a good
sign. Next the higher I traveled the more grass on the road, another not so
good sign. The scenery up here is spectacular. It is getting late in the day
and I am solo. I have encountered several bears today and one very large black
bear. So I get to this little creek crossing and think hmmm, if this goes bad I
really don't want to be here. Time to turn back. I will take Bull Creek to
Whiteswan. I will need to do this route again with some buddies.
Time to head out to Highway 95/93 and head south. Once I hit the slab I
figured I had enough daylight to make it over Grey Creek Pass and catch one of
the last ferries of the evening to cross Kootenay Lake. Worth a try.
Slab to Kimberly then pick up the St Mary's lake road. Oh Oh, sign says Grey
Creek Pass Closed. Well of course when you ride a KLR 650 you often ask yourself
"how closed is closed?" so let's go! Hmm well closed is actually
closed. As you can see in the picture the avalanche season was a record one for
this area. I know some of you riders will look at the pic and say I would ride
around that! Well go ahead. This was now 21:30 and I am solo. No way am I
taking any chances. Time for another turn around. Back to Kimberly for fuel and
to layer up with cold weather gear for the long cold night ride home to
Calgary. Out of Marysville Petro-Canada at 22:45. Nice ride on the slab
all the way back home with no wildlife encounters Home kinda late but some
great ride stats as shown in the pics.

Josh Smith's Clutch Dunk Shows Up Iggy and the Nuggets
In one of the most highly-contested games of the 2012-13 NBA regular season, the Atlanta Hawks defeated the Denver Nuggets, 108-104. Al Horford led the charge with 25 points and 12 rebounds, while Ty Lawson put up 32 points for Denver.
The highlight of the night came as Josh Smith threw down a clutch dunk to show up Andre Iguodala and the Nuggets.
The dunk came after Iguodala had flushed one of his own, taking contact from Smith on the play. The duo of memorable dunks set the tone for an otherwise memorable game.
More importantly, the dunks set Twitter ablaze.
In response to Iguodala's throwdown, one Twitter commenter exploded as loud as the Philips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia was silent. Just don't tell him that you missed the dunk.
— Dread'Head Ford (@BrothaFord) December 6, 2012
The following tweet commented on the obvious. That one is going to be on SportsCenter's Top 10 plays.
I just saw a @sportscenter top play! Andre Iguodala dunk on josh smith!
— Nathan Lee(@Nate_Lee1522) December 6, 2012
Not to be outdone, Smith responded with a timely finish that deserves some praise of its own. In fact, the And-1 finish was one of the most impressive of the year.
And it secured a W.
WNBA superstar Swin Cash was one of many to react to Smith's dunk.
WOWZER Josh Smith just did a grown man dunk on Cory Brewer... Ima need Brewer to foul him b4 he goes up. Trying to jump w/him= #fail
— Swin Cash (@SwinCash) December 6, 2012
This final tweet pretty sums up this evening's festivities.
I wanna see Josh Smith and Andre Iguodala in the slam dunk contest

Very comfortable spacious house, with very nice pool. Lovely neighbours and pool man. Possibly a little dated but very clean and good value for expensive area. Very modern stove, and t.v.s everywhere. We found the bed comfortable. Loads of closet space, and heaps of condiments etc, plus loads of useful toiletries.Recommended for: Age 55+.

This house could be the perfect spot for a vacation. It could but it's not. The pool is beautiful but you're never assured privacy because the neighbors across the street take care of the pool and drop in whenever! The furniture is very dated. The main complaint is the mattress's in the house are very bad. My husband had surgery in January on his neck so this really didn't help. The master bedroom is not a king sized bed! It's 2 twins put together and they don't match up. With all this being said the owner is very nice and the house is clean. The location is great! As I said this house could be great!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/1

We have stayed at this property several times and enjoy it so much.There is everything you could possibly want here to make it a perfect vacation. No shortage of facilities. Location is excellent as it is at the north end of Longboat Key which makes it so easy to explore Anna Maria Island which has a different ambience to Longboat- best of both worlds. St Armands Circle,Ringling Museum and all the attractions of Sarasota are close at hand..Recommended for: Age 55+, sightseeing.

If you want to go back home again and just be comfortable, this is it. Pool, canal to sit by, and beach very close-by. Two bicycles provided. No safety issues so I would bike over the short distance to the beach and leave the bike and watch the sunsets. Comfortable and roomy. Loved watching the green glowing light of the pool from the recliner, watching tv. Caged pool so leave the sliders open and enjoy the breeze. The seller, Connie, and her daughter, Luisa, were wonderful to work with. I loved "my" neighbors. The location is wonderul. Tension fell away when I did laps in the pool or ate my lunch by the canal as I tossed popcorn to the fish (they are bottom feeders and would not take the popcorn).Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, people with disabilities, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.

We stayed in this house for a month in August 2010 and enjoyed the location and the pool very much. The overall experience was comfortable and had wi -fi internet as well as three TVs with cable. The pool was great - warm and nicely maintained. While somewhat old furnishings were inside, the owner is working on some upgrades to the furnishings which will enhance the renting experience. The owner is very nice and easy to work with. The beach is about an 8 minute walk across the main Gulf road. It is very lovely there and nearly deserted in the summer. We liked Harry's little store down the road a mile for snacks and good sandwiches.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers.

Toronto Stock Exchange: MTG
TORONTO, Aug. 29, 2013 /CNW/ - Timbercreek Senior Mortgage Investment Corporation (the "Corporation") announced today that it has filed on SEDAR the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial report and MD&A for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013 (together, the "Interim Financial Report").
As announced in previous press releases dated August 7, 2013 and August 19, 2013, the board of directors of the Corporation has called a special meeting of all shareholders to be held on September 12, 2013 to, among other things, consider approving the Corporation's proposed transition ("Proposed Transition") from the Canadian securities regulatory regime for investment funds ("Investment Fund Regime") to the regulatory regime for non-investment fund reporting issuers (the "Public Company Regime"). The Interim Financial Report was prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, the accounting standards required by the Public Company Regime, and was previously included as a schedule to the Management Information Circular in respect of the special shareholders meeting that was filed on SEDAR on August 19, 2013.
In light of the foregoing, the Corporation has applied to the Ontario Securities Commission for, and has been granted, an exemption from the requirements under the Investment Fund Regime to prepare, file and deliver its interim financial statements in respect of the period ended June 30, 2013 in accordance with Canadian GAAP as applicable to public enterprises, and its interim management report of fund performance in respect of the period ended June 30, 2013 (the "Investment Fund Interim Financial Statements"). The exemption has been granted on the condition that the Corporation files the Interim Financial Report on SEDAR separately from the Management Information Circular on or before August 29, 2013 and, in the event that the Proposed Transition is not approved at the special shareholders' meeting or is, for any other reason, not implemented, the Corporation will prepare the Investment Fund Interim Financial Statements in accordance with the Investment Fund Regime requirements and file the Investment Fund Interim Financial Statements on SEDAR no later than 60 days after the date of the special shareholders' meeting.
The Interim Financial Report is intended to be reviewed together with the audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, which were also included as a schedule to the Management Information Circular. The notes to the audited financial statements contain a reconciliation of the IFRS and Canadian GAAP financial statements and an explanation of how the transition from Canadian GAAP to IFRS would affect the Corporation's financial position, financial performance and cash flows.

The USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77) made history Tuesday, May 19th, after safely landing the first fixed-wing aircraft, an F/A-18F Super Hornet.
Lt. Patrick McKenna and Cmdr. Beau Duarte, from Air Test and Evaluation Squadron (VX) 23 at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Md., piloted the Hornet and made the first arrested landing, known as a "trap," at 2:07 p.m. local time. The Bush reached another milestone less than an hour later when an F/A-18F Super Hornet became the first aircraft to be catapulted from the ship's flight deck at 3:03 p.m. local time.
The aircraft carrier is underway performing flight deck certifications in the Atlantic. The ship is equipped with arresting wires which are capable of safely landing aircraft traveling at speeds of more than 200 miles per hour in about 300 feet. Bush has four steam-powered catapults placed at the bow and port side of the ship which are capable of accelerating an aircraft in less than three seconds from zero to 150 miles per hour in about 270 feet.
"It takes a team of professionals to safely land an aircraft aboard a carrier at sea. The crew of USS George H.W. Bush has been working and training for this event for more than two years," said Capt. "Chip" Miller, Bush H.W. Bush commanding officer. "This is a tremendous moment for the crew."
Miller added that, "This is just the beginning of flight deck operations aboard this ship. It's what the crew has been working towards for years. They are excited to see aircraft flying on and off our flight deck, and so am I."
Bush, homeported at Naval Station Norfolk, Va., is the 10th and final Nimitz-class carrier. It was commissioned Jan. 10 at Naval Station Norfolk, Va.

Motorist Registers During Traffic Stop
Associated Press
NORTH BRUNSWICK, N.J. - In less time than it took a North Brunswick patrolman to write a ticket for an unregistered vehicle, the driver got his car registered online Thursday.
When officer Jason Zier pulled over a 1992 Mazda 626 on Thursday afternoon, the vehicle's registration had expired. By the time he'd finished writing up Sean Leach for the infraction, the car was legal again.
That's because the 36-year-old Jersey City man had a cell phone, a friend with a computer who he could reach and the foresight to use the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission's online registration service.
Leach's ingenuity did not save him from getting a ticket, but it did keep him from having his car towed - and getting socked with the towing bill.
Zier pulled Leach over on Route 130 after noticing the sticker on his license plate was expired, the Home News Tribune reported for Friday. When Leach told Zier he had not gotten around to renewing his registration, the officer mentioned that drivers can register online, North Brunswick Police Department spokesman Capt. Donald Conry said.
Leach took the renewal form the commission had sent him from his visor, which contained the access code he needed to renew. While Zier issued the summons and ordered the tow, Leach called a friend who took his credit card number and other information and renewed the registration for him, Conry said.
When Zier came back with the ticket, Leach told him the car was now registered. The computer inside Zier's patrol car confirmed it.
"It's immediate," Conry said.
Zier canceled the tow truck - no longer needed since it was to tow an unregistered car off the road.

"no failure is final, nor is any success"
I know of carbs and fat. I pre load carbs pre-workout and replenish my glycogen all the time and honestly I don't like using pre-workouts cause of the stims. I'm also eating above maintenance. I want to spend more on food and will but all I'm asking is which one will make me get the most of what I'm doing. I have to eat what my parents get for food they have a grocery for me and a grocery for them. They have to buy me one every week because I eat so much. I'm just really obsessed by getting bigger and bigger I believe. I will go with blue gene. I see more logs on blue gene.
Aha! Was wondering if you had seen it!Originally Posted by RenegadeRows

With that statement...please just visit at least once the Nutrition Sub Forum and ask for advising on your diet. That being said, if your parents buy your food, then all the more reason for you NOT to spend on supplements...and better go and buy the rest of the food they don't get you.
You are obsessed with getting bigger, that's ok, but know it takes Time, and no supplement will get you there faster, or make it easier, or make it better. Not really without a proper diet, and at your age, just a proper diet suffices, that being said...enjoy your Blue Gene, I know you'll get it anyways.

A small southern right whale was the first to venture inside the heads of Twofold Bay for the 2012 season yesterday (Wednesday).
It was greeted by the twin blue hulls and happy faces of the Cat Balou Cruises who were enjoying a bay tour.
Owners Ros and Gordon Butt reported the sighting to the Eden Killer Whale Museum who quickly activated the siren to let townspeople know the whales are back.
The sighting follows an encounter with four northbound humpbacks at the weekend (pictured at left) while reports from the North say Migaloo the white humpback was spotted off Coffs Harbour last week.

Are two Queensryche's better than one?
Original Queensryche members Michael Wilton, Scott Rockenfield, and Eddie Jasckon certainly don't think so.
The legal battle between the original Queensryche and the newly formed Geoff Tate version of the band has been going on ever since June, when Tate was dismissed after 30 years with the group due to alleged disputes over creative control and turmoil among him and his bandmates.
Queensryche is now filing against its ex lead-vocalist in attempt to make him stop using the band's name.
If this sounds familiar, it's because Tate filed nearly the same lawsuit a couple months ago, but the court ruled the original members could continue use of the name.
However, the ruling also did not forbid Tate from using the band's name.
Bassist Eddie Jackson explained to Billboard, "Until now, we have never asked the court to intervene on our behalf but it seems like we have no choice now in light of Geoff's recent actions. We thank the fans who have been supporting us through this whole process and can't wait to unleash the one true Queensryche to the masses."
"The new Queensryche", which is made up of Geoff Tate, former Megadeth guitarist Glen Drover, Quiet Riot bassist Rudy Sarzo and Ratt drummer Bobby Blotzer, may have to come up with a more original name if they lose the trial, which is set for November 18th, 2013.
Queensryche is putting together a series of 2013 concert dates called the Return to History Tour, while Tate's version has yet to release their possible performances.
For more on the story head to Billboard and leave us with your two cents on the matter in the comments section below

How to Fight Spam on a Self-Hosted WordPress Site
Whether you use WordPress as a blog or have customized one of their numerous templates to use as a website, spam can be a real hassle to deal with. We all are familiar with the traditional spam-like sales calls, pointless emails and letters in the mail that do nothing but waste our time. In the virtual word, spam has taken on a new identity. WordPress spam typically comes in the form as a comment on a blog post or any page that allows. There are many tactics that can be used, mostly in the form of plugins, which will greatly reduce the spam that your site receives.
Spam can come in many forms and from many sources. The most common source of spam are "bots" or computer programs that quickly scan pages, posting or commenting wherever they can. Usually these "bots" supply a link or a destination in the hopes that you will click on it. Spam can also come from an actual person sitting at a computer, manually inputting information and links that are malicious. There are various kinds of content behind these links, but nonetheless should be avoided.
Why You Need to Monitor Your Social Media Sites
So you are aware of social media marketing and what it can do for your business. You have Facebook, Twitter and even a blog for your company set up. You usually post a couple of times a week, but sometimes you get so busy that you completely forget about your social sites for a month or two. But this isn't a big deal because you are the administrator of the site, right? WRONG. Leaving your company's social sites unattended to can have a huge negative impact on your brand image, and that's why monitoring all of your accounts is so important!
6 Ways to Increase Traffic to Your Blog
Blogs are a great marketing practice for businesses of all sizes! They allow companies to create a voice and personality online, while engaging their consumers on a different kind of level. Producing original material that is relevant to your current industry is key when starting up a blog for your business. Remember, blogging should not be used as a one-way street for your company to promote products and services, but as a way to show consumers that you care about your industry and would like to supply with them with valuable information. Once you have understood the concept of blogging from a business standpoint, it's time to get your views up!
The Don'ts of Social Media Marketing
There are so many blog posts out there explaining what you should do when using social media to market and expand your business, and yes, we are also guilty of that. But have you ever stopped to think about the things that you SHOULD NOT be doing when using social networks to build brand awareness? Let's go over the top 5 what-not-to-do strategies.
How Do You Social Bookmark?
Social bookmarking is the process of finding websites that interest you, sharing them with people who may also enjoy them, and tagging them for easy access at a later date. It can take place in many forms, such as sending the URLs through an email, or using sites dedicated to social bookmarking. You may be aware of StumbleUpon, Digg, Reddit, and De.lic.ious, but what can these sites provide for you from a business standpoint?
Subscribing to bookmarking sites allows users to add any webpage that they find appealing. So sign up for these sites, add your company page to them, and watch the traffic soar, right? Wrong. Although you will see some increase in traffic, it will be minimal, and more strategy is required in maximizing social bookmarking sites to their fullest potential.

Depends on the Use
So when MAC Pro products became available to the public online, this was the first product in my cart. I had seen other MUA's use it as an eye base and was so excited to have it myself.
However, now that I own this product, I have NO IDEA why ANYONE would use it as an eye base! Within 10 min of application, I started to crease (with a eyeshadow on top) This pissed me off.
Now I use it as face make up when I am doing a crazy look. Still, Its very thick and creases near my nose and eyes if i dont set it IMMEDIATELY.
If you are going to buy this product, know before hand -1.What you will be using it for-2. How long you need it to stay on 3. For the makeup YOU do, is it worth the $21?

Source: 2012swingstatesPresident Obama delivered his first public remarks after the presidential debate at Sloan's Lake outside of Denver on Thursday morning.
"When I got onto the stage, I met this very spirited fellow who claimed to be Mitt Romney," Obama said. "But it couldn't have been Mitt Romney because the real Mitt Romney has been running around the country for the last year promising $5 trillion in tax cuts that favor the wealthy. The fellow on stage last night said he didn't know anything about that."
The president continued to list the Republican candidate's debate answers that struck him as inconsistent with his campaign thus far.
"The man on stage last night, he does not want to be held accountable for the real Mitt Romney's decisions and what he's been saying for the last year, and that's because he knows full well that we don't want what he's been selling for the last year," Obama continued as supporters in the crowd cheered.
"If you want to be president, you owe the American people the truth."
He headed straight from Colorado to a similar rally in Madison, Wis.
Mitt Romney spoke to the Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC) in Denver on Thursday. His sons Tag, Craig and Josh appeared on stage with him.
Romney will attend a campaign event with Paul Ryan and country singer Trace Adkins at Augusta Expoland in Fishersville, Va., Thursday evening.

We passed over to Latvia today on our way to the capital Riga.
It's sad leaving after an amazing 3 weeks in Estonia.
Thank you to all the lovely Estonians we met that looked after us and made us feel at home. We will miss you all.
