A short break in Inverloch
Got back yesterday from a few days in Inverloch. We rented a house near the beach with my sister and her family.
Drove down as sorry, but even V/Line's new improved services only provide 3-4 services a day. Anyway we had lots of stuff to carry. Stopped at Korumburra for lunch at the Kelly bakery (not sure what Ned Kelly's link to Korumburra is), and checked out the tourist railway but didn't ride on it.
Then onward to Inverloch. Drove around the town looking for the supermarket, which we found eventually. Very crowded with fellow holidaymakers. We stocked up on stuff and then headed for the house.
Quite nice and comfortable, if a little basic. One toilet was a stretch for so many people. Isaac ended up on a mattress on the floor, but seemed to get used to it. No actual dinner table — just an island kitchen bench with not enough stools, so the adults got used to having meals standing. And a TV which was tiny and had no proper antenna, and was therefore unwatchable. I was glad I'd brought a radio to be able to listen to the news and the cricket.
But these minor issues were forgotten when we found the slot car set in the cupboard.
After settling-in we strolled down to the beach (about 10 minutes walk). It was a little cold, but very nice. The kids kept themselves entertained by wading in the water and scrawling pictures and words into the sand.
Strolled back and Adrian (genuine Italian) cooked us all pasta. Yum. Then we had a go of RoboRally, which took some study of the manual. I won, perhaps reflecting that I was the only participant who had played previously, as veteran rallier Marita decided she wanted to just watch.
Spotted a huge huntsman spider in the bathroom just before going to bed, but happily didn't see it again all week.
Went for a nice long triangular walk down to the beach, along the coast into the town then back to the house. Seemed to be plenty of people about, and (for whatever reason) I snapped a few moderately entertaining signs with unfortunate pictogram men falling off cliffs and being carried away by strong currents.
After some lunch we did the slightly amusingly named Screw Creek scenic walk up to Townsend bluff, taking a few wrong turns along the way. It's one of those scenic walks where it turns out the best view isn't at the proper End Of The Walk, but about 200 metres back down the hill. But oh well, there was some interesting stuff to see along the way.
Adrian fired-up the wood-fired barbecue in the evening and we feasted like kings yet again, before a game of Cluedo.
Into the car (we must have made an amusing little convoy, my sister's Golf and my Astra, carrying four people each and both with matching orange "More trains = Less traffic" PTUA stickers on the back), we went for a spin down the Cape Paterson Road. Lots of glorious views of the sea, and after a stop at some place called Eagle's Nest (great view of the cliffs) we took a look around the State Coal Mine in Wonthaggi.
Some really interesting stuff around the mine — it's free entry to the surface exhibits. Time and the presence small children prevented us doing the hour-long mine tour (for which there is a charge); maybe another time — if it's half as good as the one in Bendigo, it'd be well worth while.
The lady behind the counter recommended lunch at the Caledonian hotel in Wonthaggi, and sure enough their BLT burger went down a treat. Then we headed back to the house for a rest before hitting the beach.
The promised beach weather never quite eventuated, but it was nice enough for some paddling, sand-castle building and beach cricket, before home made pizzas for dinner. Yum. Followed by another game of Cluedo, and a quick go of the telescope the kids got for Christmas, though not many stars were out.
Time to head home, but beforehand a ride on the South Gippsland Tourist Railway, from Korumburra to Nyora and back in a 1950s diesel railcar (apparently once used on the Adelaide suburban system). It's a bumpy old track, but some great scenery along the way, and my nephew Leo was thrilled to be able to watch out the front window to see the track ahead.
After lunch, back to the car and the drive home to the big smoke. A nice little relaxing break.

How many people did you go with Daniel. Where is Inverloch? My family and I are going to Ballarat on Sunday.

Great part of Victoria. I have many childhood memories of holidays in the area.
Inverloch is gorgeous. We spent a few days there a couple of years ago.
There is a home on flickr for your sign photo's
I know someone who did that mine tour recently. They found it a rather curious thing and told me they've introduced all sorts of OH&S precautions there now – they had to wear a hard hat for example.
Can't remember if the PTUA supported it or not when it was an election promise, but when you rode that train were you thinking "I wish V/Line ran here a couple of times a day"?
Seems Rose is still scattering herself throughout time and space :)
Our family used to go over to Inverloch during the summer holidays every time it hit 40 degrees or over. One time a thunderstorm chased us back from the beach and we had to go back to a friend's house we knew as lightning nearly hit the car.
Surely the safest place to be in a lightning storm is in a car?
"my nephew Leo was thrilled to be able to watch out the front window to see the track ahead."
One of the nice things about travelling by train in Japan is that a front carriage usually (not on the shinkansen (bullet train)) usually affords you a view of the track ahead. I once took a friend on a trip on Tokyo's Yamanote line that circles Tokyo, all the while looking through the window to the driver and the track ahead. The driver, in full uniform, cap and white gloves, complete with trad-fob watch placed in a holder on the control panel, would, before setting off from each station, point to the green light (as they have to do) signaling the approval to move forward.
Japan's rail system is (except for the minor glitch and major catastrophe) very cool.

Don Quixote Vol. 2
These days past, when sending Your Excellency my plays, that had appeared that Don Quixote was putting on his spurs to go and render homage to Your Excellency. Now I say that "with his spurs, he is on his way." Should he reach destination methinks I shall have rendered some service to Your Excellency, as from many parts I am urged to send him off, so as to dispel the loathing and disgust caused by another Don Quixote who, under the name of Second Part, has run masquerading through the whole world. And he who has shown the greatest longing for him has been the great Emperor of China, who wrote me a letter in Chinese a month ago and sent it by a special courier. He asked me, or to be truthful, he begged me to send him Don Quixote, for he intended to found a college where the Spanish tongue would be taught, and it was his wish that the book to be read should be the History of Don Quixote. He also added that I should go and be the rector of this college. I asked the bearer if His Majesty had afforded a sum in aid of my travel expenses. He answered, "No, not even in thought."
"Then, brother," I replied, "you can return to your China, post haste or at whatever haste you are bound to go, as I am not fit for so long a travel and, besides being ill, I am very much without money, while Emperor for Emperor and Monarch for Monarch, I have at Naples the great Count of Lemos, who, without so many petty titles of colleges and rectorships, sustains me, protects me and does me more favour than I can wish for."
Thus I gave him his leave and I beg mine from you, offering Your Excellency the "Trabajos de Persiles y Sigismunda," a book I shall finish within four months, Deo volente, and which will be either the worst or the best that has been composed in our language, I mean of those intended for entertainment; at which I repent of having called it the worst, for, in the opinion of friends, it is bound to attain the summit of possible quality. May Your Excellency return in such health that is wished you; Persiles will be ready to kiss your hand and I your feet, being as I am, Your Excellency's most humble servant.
From Madrid, this last day of October of the year one thousand six hundred and fifteen.
At the service of Your Excellency:

No. 5 Allen faces Marcus in battle of Texas unbeatens
There are two kinds of unbeaten teams. There's Allen, Texas, which is 7-0 and No. 5 in the USA TODAY Super 25 football rankings after scoring 40 or more points in every game this season aside from the Eagles' opener.
Then there is Allen's opponent Friday, Marcus (Flower Mound, Texas), which is the other 7-0 team in District 8-5A. In the past three weeks, the Marauders defeated Flower Mound in overtime, topped Plano West after four overtimes and last week, needed a 14-yard touchdown run by Jeff Smith with 24 seconds left to defeat Plano 28-24.
"It just confirms what you preach to them of never, ever giving up," Marcus coach Bryan Erwin said. "I think it helps from the standpoint in the belief system of your kids. It confirms that there's no quit in them."
Last week, Allen also had a scare, coming from behind in the fourth quarter to defeat Plano West 40-28. For the most part, however, the Eagles have dominated, outscoring opponents by an average of 43-17.
"They have some great players and a whole bunch of good players," Erwin said. "If there's a Goliath in the state of Texas in high school football, it's the Allen Eagles. There's no weakness for them."
Allen quarterback Alec Morris, who has said he plans to sign with Alabama, has thrown for 25 touchdowns, 14 to wide receiver Andrew Rodriguez, with only one interception. Allen running back Jonathan Williams, a Missouri commit, has 618 yards and seven touchdowns on 96 carries despite missing two games with a back injury.
Marcus is a little more reliant on the run, led by Harvey Giddens, who has rushed for 1,167 yards and 18 touchdowns, and Jeff Smith, who has run for 831 yards and 10 touchdowns.
"They like to run the ball and I don't see that being any different this year," said Allen football coach Tom Westerberg. "At this point in a season, teams don't change."
Running down a record:Emmitt Smith owns the NFL and Florida high school career rushing records, but the latter could be broken this year or next by Kelvin Taylor of Glades Day (Belle Glade).
Smith ran for 8,804 yards at Escambia (Pensacola) from 1983-86. Taylor, son of former NFL running back Fred Taylor and only a junior, already has 8,151 yards. Taylor got a leg up because he was the first player at Glades Day to start on the varsity as an eighth-grader.
"He's still doing it in four years, so it's about the same," said Glades Day coach Pete Walker. "He's more of an elusive runner than Emmitt was, not that Emmitt couldn't make people miss. Kelvin reminds me of his dad and (former Miami Hurricanes star) Willis McGahee a lot."
The Gators (4-2) and have won seven state championships, so if Taylor doesn't get the record in the final four regular-season games, he could do it in the playoffs. He had 426 yards last week in a 35-24 win against Village Academy (Delray Beach). The national record is 11,232 career yards, set from 1950-53 by Ken Hall of Sugar Land, Texas.
"Any of these guys who broke records ran a lot," Walker said. "We're not giving it to him to break records. We're just trying to win football games. I've never worried about a 'pitch count' with kids. He doesn't play defense, and there are games where he's only run 10 times."

US F1 team principal Ken Anderson told French magazine Auto Hebdo that Spaniard Pedro de la Rosa is high on the Charlotte-based start-up F1 team's list for a race seat.
"The most important thing for us is to work with drivers who have F1 experience, simply because of the decrease in test days, Anderson said. "Pedro de la Rosa is on our list. His F1 experience would be a major asset for us. Our list has about 12 names on it," he added. "All are excellent drivers who could bring us a lot."
Jacques Villeneuve and Franck Montagny have also been linked with the team in recent months.

The food wasn't anything special and was served luke warm, but the price was fair for what you get. I would not go back though.
The outside looks nothing like you'd expect an Italian restaurant to look like, but once you're inside it screams Italian! The place was packed, but we were promptly seated in an awesome booth. The booths are enclosed, romantic, and cozy. It took the staff some time to get our appetizers out, and the waitress was told not to put our... More
Thank You.. We can tell you love green chiles as much as we do. We try to not spice things up as perhaps we would enjoy ...You Know...Spicy !!!! Our experience in Ruidoso is, with such a diverse mix of tourist, its best to let people spice up their food to their liking..Especially with the salt...If you come back to... More
I really wasn't that impressed by their food. It was better than your typical chain Italian restaurant, but not near the caliber of some of our favorite places to frequent. Both of our meals needed salt added and the sauces were rather bland. We did; however, enjoy their soup. Their saving grace, and the reason we will probably go back,... More
Thanks for your review...Not everybody enjoys their food spicy !! WE DO........May we suggest you request whatever spice you might enjoy to bring the flavor to your liking. So often we serve people who aren't sure about digesting spicy food...We however kinda, sorta are of the option that food we provide a "two for twenty special" { appetizer, entree, drink... More
Nothing special about this place or it's food. We thought the service was poor and the food was disappointing. Would not recommend this for anyone looking for "real" Italian food.
Thanks for you review.....Mid-western italian style...."We make it good",,,"serve you plenty.",,,"and don't charge a lot"...Thats about as real as it gets !!! Thanks again More
Michelena's is a sweet little Italian food place that has amazing Alfredo. Definitely worth the money and time.
Thank You so very Much!!!!!!! More
Michelena's is a great family and friends very friendly restaurant. We've eaten here in the past and tonight was as good as ever. Local establishment with some great specials too. Tonight we got the 2 dinner for $20 special which included garlic bread, soup or salad, a main selected course, desert and drinks and the food was fantastic !! More... More
Bingo !!! Thank You..... More
The food and atmosphere at Michelena's are both excellent. It is in midtown Ruidoso. We had Spaghetti twice, and enjoyed Lasagne once. The salads are fresh and well dressed and their pasta sauce is superb.
Thanks Again !! More
Good service, good food, good atmosphere! :-) We have previously eaten at this restaurant and were not disappointed this visit.
Thanks Again, Again !!hahahahah More
Ate dinner here one night in Ruisdoso. We chose the 2 For 20 menu. The garlic bread was excellent, entrees of lasagna and fettucine alfredo were tasty. The cheescake was delicious. Nice family atmosphere.
It looks like our Two for Twenty is a Hit !!! Thank You..... More
Under $7 per person gets you a delightful lunch including salad & bread. Even required a to go box which didn't last long. Will return and try the pizza! :)
Thanks....On Tuesday you can get any pizza, with as many toppings as you like, thick or thin.......9.95..!!!!!! More

Prime Minister Stephen Harper is set to meet with his Israeli counterpart in New York, Friday, after both leaders issued public condemnations of Iran.
On Thursday, Benjamin Netanyahu told the UN that Iran will be able to make a nuclear bomb by next summer.
Harper also suggested Iran poses a clear and present danger as he accepted an international statesman award from a New York-based group.
Harper also took a dig at the United Nations, suggesting it has too often wooed dictators despite their appalling human rights records and sinister aims.
He said Canadians expect their government to make decisions for the wider interests of humanity, and not to court every dictator who has a vote at the UN.
Harper's shot at the UN came as he was criticized back home for once again skipping the UN General Assembly.
He brushed off criticism, saying it's not standard procedure for a Canadian prime minister to address the General Assembly every year.

People, I hope this makes you understand the importance of home protection. Get a home security shotgun and learn to use it safely and protect yourself at least at home. It may be the best $300 you spend or the worse $300. Plus, shotguns are the only weapon you can actually still get ammo for these days.

Deep down I think we all seek some type of validation. It could be with a loved one, in our careers, and in our friendship. It can also be with parking. We all need it. I have a confession though, I self doubt a lot. That is to say that I am constantly needing validation that my choices are the right ones. This is true of my writing career as well.
But I think writers are a group that need a special type of validation. There are a lot of people out there that want to be writers. There are even a lot of people out there who say they are writers and really don't know what they mean when they say that. But deep down we writers want to be validated as authors. Unfortunately validation doesn't always come.
So at what point are you valid in claiming you are an author. Well, that is a bar that we set for ourselves. Some set the bar really high, claiming they can only be an author when they get that first professional sale. Some claim that they can be called an author simply because they say they are.
But what really validates the claim to that title of author? Well for me it is the recognition of my peers, my readers, and friends.
Last year I felt really good when I took 2nd place in the science fiction and fantasy short story category of the 2011 Preditors and Editors readers poll for "Death Watch". I felt even better at all the nice comments I received. I even felt validated as a short story author. The sale of my first two short stories in a matter of months helped a lot, but being recognized in that poll was special to me.
But what I really wanted to do was sell novels. So in 2012, I didn't work on many short story projects. I put my work towards publishing my first novel, and I did it. My goal was to get a lot of new readers, and I did that. My goal was to get a lot of reviews and praise, but that has not really happened. I've had 8 reviews on Amazon US and 2 on UK. Don't get me wrong, I am very pleased with those reviews. But one of my roll models, the person that inspired me to get Dissolution of Peace out, seemed to get a lot of reviews very quickly. Even a lot of editorial reviews (of which I've only had two). It is my opinion that he made a big splash in the Horror scene, while I seem to have made only a slight ripple (like a pebble dropped into the ocean) in the Sci-Fi scene.
So, I started to question the validity of my claim to be a novelist. Some of my role models in the independent scene, including the person above, have not even shared (to my knowledge) the work I have done. I think perhaps I expected too much from those I thought would return the favor. But the point is that I began to question if I was any good at what I was setting out to do. This is that self doubt I was talking about.
The problem not feeling validated, is that you tend to slump. And I did a significant slump. But then the readers poll came around again. I was nominated for best Science Fiction and Fantasy novel. There were also 85 other novels nominated. In the end I took another top ten finish, coming in 5th for the 2012 poll.
There were some great comments in there too. I take great pride in how much people love my work and my characters. I was ecstatic to see some of these things, they mean a lot to me.
I think the important thing that this post should point out. If you are a reader, like I am, you need to set out to review ALL the books you read but especially the ones you enjoyed. You need to make sure to share that with everyone. Because if you want to see writers continue to write, they need to feel validated. And for many of us, your reviews, purchases, and kind comments validates our purpose. I think this is more important than a professional sale, and or even a large book deal, though those all help. After all, it isn't about who publishes what we write, but about who enjoys what we write.
So to those who continue to buy my books, vote for my books, comment on my books, review my books, and share my stories: I thank you. You fuel my my writing career and make it that much more likely that I will someday reach all my writing goals.
As for the parking, I think I will just pay for it. That is a validation that can be impossible to get.

Shining in Crimson By Robert S. Wilson
Today Shining in Crimson (Empire of Blood) by Robert S. Wilson was released in the Kindle Version with the Paperback and Hardcover editions set to be released October 2nd. You can check out his website to see more about it, or visit Amazon to buy eReader version. Also you can follow Shining in Crimson on Facebook.
Now that you can look up what I am talking about, I thought I would explain why I mention this particular book release. Robert and I are both members of the Hatrack Writers Workshop (or Hatrackers). In early February I came across a post in our Fragments and Feedback section in which I read an intro to a Vampire book.
Typically this is not my genre and I tend to steer away from it. I don't remember why I chose to read this, but I am glad I did. I was hooked by the style of this small opening fragment. I offered to review the whole thing. I had not read a critiqued a novel before, but if I can help I figured I would try it.
I spent the rest of the month reading over three chapter blocks. I offered my advice but truthfully I fell for Robert's characters, their struggles, and the overall plot. And I continued to push him to send me more chapters, while he continued to try to get them edited. And, like most stories I truly love deep down, I was a little sad when it was over. From the time I read that draft to now, I would say that I gained a friend in Robert.
It was a really good book, and I generally don't care for Vampire stories. Perhaps it is my limited knowledge of the genre. Perhaps it is the way Twilight has transformed the mainstream vampire story. I don't know why I don't care for the genre. However, Robert changed my mind. Or at least opened my mind a little.
This is not the Vampire story where the vampires are hunky men, and you have to join Team Mark or Team Sam. This is about Hank, the Main Character who finds himself charged with a crime and sentenced to visit Necropolis, a city belonging to the Vampires now. This is a sure death sentence, but Hank is desperate to survive for the sake of his son.
There are several plot threads to this story giving it depth and forward motion. I found myself turning pages with ease as I hoped for the success of the various characters. I'll stop here. It's time for you to pick up your Kindle and read Shining in Crimson.
I have chosen to pre-order the paperback version which will ship on October 2nd in honor of Robert's mother's birthday (who passed away in 2006). If you wish to pre-order a paperback or hardback edition you can do it here. If you are on Goodreads you can enter to win a copy here.
At the very least, pick up the Kindle Version for only 99 cents. It will be the best dollar you ever spent.

A Haysville doctor and nurse, appealing their convictions in a moneymaking conspiracy linked to 68 overdose deaths, ripped the government for reversing its position and claiming that the couple had conflict-free trial attorneys.
Physician Stephen Schneider and nurse Linda Schneider, who are married, were convicted in 2010 of conspiracy, unlawfully prescribing drugs, health care fraud and money laundering. The doctor was sentenced to 30 years, his wife to 33 years.
In filings with the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals, new attorneys for the Haysville couple said Tuesday that the prosecuting attorney, Assistant U.S. Attorney Tanya Treadway, had taken dramatically different positions in the two courts.
When the case was in district court, Treadway twice tried to remove the Schneiders' trial attorneys from the case because of "conflicted interests" arising from their representation of Siobhan Reynolds. Reynolds was the president of the Pain Relief Network, who allegedly used the case to promote her agenda against government prosecution of physicians who prescribe painkillers.
But in federal appeals court, Treadway claimed that by the time of trial, the lawyers were not actively representing both clients and the conflict had no "adverse effect" on the case. She argued the Schneiders had received an "exceedingly fair trial, vigorously defended by separate counsel the defendants trusted and who believed in their respective client's innocence."
"More fundamentally, inconsistencies like those cataloged here reflect a deeper pathology, a certain disrespect for the courts, a contempt for the adversary, and an indifference to the norms and conventions that define appellate practice," the defense argued on appeal. "It is all the more notable that the offender is the United States. No party, but especially not one charged with the duty to do justice, can claim 'X' in the district court and 'not X' in the court of appeals. That is not doing justice but debasing it."
Among the issues in their appeal is whether the Schneiders understood the dangers posed when they twice waived their constitutional right to conflict-free legal representation.
The U.S. attorney's office said Wednesday it was reviewing the latest filings and will file its responses with the court.
The Schneiders' new attorneys paint Reynolds as a zealot who believed the war on drugs has transformed America into a police state in which the federal government lets patients live and die in unnecessary pain. Their appeal attorneys also contend Reynolds - who was under government surveillance at the time - was in a sexual relationship with Kevin Byers, the lead attorney representing Linda Schneider.
They argue that U.S. District Court Judge Monti Belot made a mistake by not confronting the Schneiders about that relationship during a hearing in which they waived their right to conflict-free representation.
Reynolds, Byers and his mother were killed in December when a small plane he was piloting crashed in Ohio.
"Kevin Byers and Siobhan Reynolds are not here to speak for themselves, but knowing them I can tell you that Kevin Byers had one allegiance - which was to Linda Schneider. Siobhan Reynolds wanted to see the Schneiders acquitted, and I personally believe they deserve a new trial," said Lawrence Williamson, the attorney who defended Stephen Schneider at trial.

F-M hockey returns, ties Fulton 3-3

Kevin Paul leads the Baldwinsville wrestling team into the 2013-14 season, determined to become the program's first state champion in a decade.

Boys basketball Bees produces pair of wins
Bees get to Kiwanis Tournament final, lose to West Genny
With steadiness and patience, head coach Tim Solomon and his staff has worked toward making the Baldwinsville boys basketball team something more than a nuisance for opponents in the hyper-competitive Section III Class AA ranks.
B'ville hockey battles through 2-2 opening week
Bees take third place at own Conklin Tournament
In order to believe that it can earn a long-elusive Section III Division I title, the Baldwinsville ice hockey team first had to prove itself in a brutal early-season gauntlet that would include four games in a five-day span and six in 11 days.
Skaneateles girls hockey has 1-1-1 week
Lakers finally get to win column by edging Canton, 2-1
A single game – and a late winning opportunity squandered in a 2-1 defeat to Albany Academy on Nov. 22 – gave the Skaneateles girls ice hockey team plenty of motivation as it worked through a 10-day break before a busy first week of December.
WG boys hoops earns B'ville tournament title
Wildcats start 2-0, will get shot at F-M on Tuesday
Getting to the Section III Class AA semifinals a season ago gave the West Genesee boys basketball team a newfound sense of confidence and a belief that, perhaps, it was ready to make a serious championship push.
Caz wrestlers open, defeat Fabius-Pompey
Lakers also go 3-2 at Morrisville-Eaton meet
Work began again for wrestling teams at Cazenovia and Chittenango through a busy first week of December. For the Lakers, the task turned a lot taller in the OHSL Liberty division when long-time power Phoenix moved in. Cazenovia takes on the Gene Mills-led Firebirds Jan. 15 at Buckley Gym.
WG hockey starts 3-0, dominates Wildcat Classic
Victories over Massena, Fairport mark tournament run
Questions loom all over the local Division I ice hockey landscape - but not at West Genesee, where a team holding six consecutive Section III titles is after much more. The Wildcats, returning most of its lineup from 2012-13, are already 3-0, having rolled to three consecutive home victories, including a comfortable conquest of its own tournament.
Ludden hoops returns, gets tough win over Henninger
Supporting cast helps Kaigler, Hackett in crucial 10-0 run
In the two seasons that Dan Kaigler and Ben Hackett have served as the focal point, the Bishop Ludden boys basketball team has made two trips to Glens Falls Civic Center in March, winning the state Class B championship in 2012 and going to the state semifinals a year later.
Girls cross country Hornets fall to second at Nike Nationals
F-M boys finish fourth; combined team still best in America
A group of talented, determined runners from Minnesota pulled off what no one else had since 2006 - namely, beat the Fayetteville-Manlius girls cross country team at the Nike Cross Nationals. But though the Hornets had to "settle" for a second-place finish in Saturday's national championship race in Portland, Ore., it still could take pride in having the best combined finish of any team in America, since the F-M boys took fourth place at this same national meet.
C-NS boys basketball has eventful opening week
Northstars go 2-1, lose Evans to concussion
To say that the Cicero-North Syracuse boys basketball team's 2013-14 regular-season schedule was front-loaded might prove more than a slight understatement. Before it even hits the middle of December, the Northstars will have played five games against, in order, Christian Brothers Academy, Nottingham, Utica Proctor, Liverpool and Henninger, all in a span of just 11 days.
B'ville girls basketball improves to 4-0
Pascale leads Bees to road wins at Auburn, Central Square

WG girls basketball rips F-M, Proctor

Dr. D has stated that Caffeine consumption in males may increase estrogen. Not sure if this is only related to amounts over 500mg/day though. Article below was taken from Mercola.com
Coffee Increases Estrogen in Women
Drinking more than two cups of coffee daily may boost estrogen levels in women and could worsen conditions such as endometriosis and breast pain.
According to the researchers, women who drank the most coffee had higher levels of estradiol, a naturally occurring form of estrogen, during the early follicular phase, or days 1 to 5 of the menstrual cycle.
Higher estrogen levels would not be beneficial for women who for example have endometriosis, breast pain and family histories of breast or ovarian cancer, especially arising premenopausally.
The study included nearly 500 women aged 36 to 45 who were not pregnant, breast-feeding or taking hormones. All women answered questions about their diets, smoking habits, height and weight. Researchers measured the women's hormone levels during days 1 to 5 of their menstrual cycle.
Women who consumed more than one cup of coffee a day had significantly higher levels of estrogen during the early follicular phase of their menstrual cycle.
Caffeine intake from all sources was linked with higher estrogen levels regardless of age, body mass index (BMI), caloric intake, smoking, and alcohol and cholesterol intake.
Women who consumed at least 500 milligrams of caffeine daily, the equivalent of four or five cups of coffee, had nearly 70% more estrogen during the early follicular phase than women consuming no more than 100 mg of caffeine daily, or less than one cup of coffee.
This study provides a basis for believing that coffee consumption increases estradiol levels. While these effects are modest with one or two cups, they are more evident at higher levels of consumption.
Fertility and Sterility October 2001;76:723-729
Dr. Mercola's Comment:
Caffeine is the most widely used drug in the world. While I believe that coffee and caffeine are far less dangerous than fruit juice or soda, it is still wise to limit, and if possible, eliminate its use.
This is becoming increasingly clear for women, as coffee should NEVER be consumed during pregnancy. It also appears that coffee consumption is associated with increased estrogen levels, which means an increase for breast and endometrial cancer.
Coffee has been previously associated with increased risk of stroke and rheumatoid arthritis.
One can use a product called Water Joe that is basically bottled water with caffeine added to help you wean off of the coffee. If you stop coffee cold turkey you will likely develop a severe headache from going through caffeine withdrawal.
If you simply MUST drink coffee here are a few tips to help reduce the chances of harmful effects:
Use organic coffee - Coffee is a heavily sprayed crop, so drinking organic coffee might reduce or eliminate the exposure to toxic herbicides, pesticides, and fertilizers. The only drawback is that the countries where coffee is produced probably have less control and monitoring for compliance to organic practices. You will also be helping to protect the health of the people working in the coffee fields, as you will be helping to reduce their toxic exposure as well.
"Swiss Water Process" decaf - If you are going to drink decaffeinated coffee, be sure that it is one that uses a non-chemical based method of decaffeination. The "Swiss Water Process" is a patented method and is the best choice. Most of the major brands are chemically decaffeinated, even if it says "Naturally Decaffeinated" right on the container. If you are unsure of the methods, contact the manufacturer.
Avoid sugar and/or milk - These are actually much worse for you than the coffee itself. Don't compound the detrimental health effects by adding milk or sugar to your coffee.
Unbleached filters - If you use a "drip" coffee maker, be sure to use non-bleached filters. The bright white ones, which most people use, are chlorine bleached and some of this chlorine will be extracted from the filter during the brewing process.

Flower Bouquet Birthday Cake!
Cakes like this are the reason why I started this business! This cake was ordered for the sweestest lady who was blessed to be celebrating her 91st birthday. She was so completely surprised when we delivered her cake to her and went on to say that it was the "most beautiful cake I've ever seen!" :) I definitely could have sat and chatted with her for hours...she was AWESOME!

Buick's petite Encore mini-ute is getting a bow-tied stablemate.
The unfortunately-named Chevrolet Trax (a name that seems to draw in every "rad dude" reference from the mid-90s) is Chevrolet's European answer to the Buick Encore compact crossover, spoken in a French accent—when it makes its debut at the Paris Auto Show later this September.
"The Trax provides Chevrolet an entry into a growing small SUV segment and delivers the flexibility, great fuel economy and car-like handling that urban explorers around the world require," said Mary Barra, GM's vice president of product development.
Details are not specific but already known, based on the Encore's reveal back in January. The Trax will presumably share its turbocharged Ecotec 1.4-liter engine, six-speed automatic transmission and available all-wheel drive. It wears chunkier, more aggressive sheetmetal with sharper fender flares than the waterfall-like Encore.
And because Americans demand its vehicles to be bigger, the Trax will not make it to these shores, though it will be available in Mexico and Canada. Chevy's product planners believe that the Equinox is as small enough for us. The 140 other markets around the world don't think so, however.
Expect more details as we round the Paris Auto Show in September.

Is there a Button 3/Scroll Ball feature?
Will this Magic Trackpad work with CAD/3D Modeling apps to provide Orbit and Zoom In/Out functionality, same as the Button 3/Scroll-ball with standard mouse? This is why I had to return the Magic Mouse. Being able to quickly orbit about models and zoom in/out with the middle button/track-ball instead of clicking on the tool is a major time saver and far easier to perform.

Do the multi-touch features of the Magic Trackpad work on older MacBook models?
I have a Late 2007 MacBook (3,1) and I've always been interested in the multi-touch gestures featured in the later models, such as using 3 and 4-finger dragging or inertia scrolling, and my interest has risen even greater with the prominent use of them in OS X Lion. So I was wondering whether it is possible to use these multi-touch gestures if I bought a Magic Trackpad. Would these 3 and 4 finger gestures now work with my MacBook using the Magic Trackpad, or is it just impossible to access these functions without upgrading to a later Mac model? I have 10.6.6 currently, so I assume that I already have that Magic Trackpad and Multi-Touch Trackpad Update 1.0 installed. Thanks in advance.

Kush Kalra, a graduate of the Rajiv Gandhi National University of Law in Patiala (RGNUL) is the author of six books already, with a seventh one due for publication in the near future. Starting with his first publication titled "Be Your Own Lawyer", Kush has also published books on criminal law and intellectual property rights. In this e-mail interview with Bar & Bench, Kush talks about his learnings at RGNUL, academia and the problems of Indian law schools.
Bar & Bench: When did you graduate from RGNUL?
Kush Kalra: I graduated from RGNUL in May 2012. [This was the] golden period of my life during which I realized the true meaning of education.
B&B: Six books published already. Were you always interested in academia or did you develop this interest during your time at RGNUL?
KK: After my graduation I was lucky enough to be a part of Youth Delegation to China and I was also part of UNAOC (United Nations Alliance of Civilization) Summer School in 2012. I developed a feeling to do something only after the foreign visit. I have been writing essays since I entered law school. In the 2008 Manupatra Essay competition, my essay was selected as the best entry from all law schools. So in a way I can say that writing essays and papers for seminars during law school made me realise that I can write books.
RGNUL is my learning temple where I learnt all things and I truly realized the purpose of education during my stay at RGNUL. So in a way RGNUL is the guiding force for all my books.
B&B: The topics covered in your books range from criminal law to IPR. Is there a particular field that you plan to focus on?
KK: It was conveyed to me by a learned person that if you wish to learn and practice law, do start to grasp every law subject. Because in law every subject is interrelated and interdependent.
B&B: How long did it take for you to publish your first book? What were some of the challenges you faced?
KK: I failed more than 90 times to get my first book published. The title of my first book was "Be Your Own Lawyer". I started to get the book published in October of 2012 [but it was] in March of 2013 I heard about the acceptance of the manuscript by Vij Law House in Delhi.
The challenge that I still face today is that I am not a Ph.D. and publishers generally ask about my qualification (an LL.B). But then I convince them that it is not degree it is idea that is to be accepted by publisher.
B&B: Do you think law school encourages academia?
KK: Law school just encourage a "Law Firm" culture. Students these days are just concerned about pay packages. They are not concerned about learning. No one is interested in Academics. From seniors to juniors, everyone just gives advice about pay packages.
Unfortunately, in our times we have down-graded the intellectual and have devalued the very word. Today an "intellectual" means a man who is intelligent enough to know on which side his bread is buttered.
It is essential that students acquire an understanding of and a feeling for values. Otherwise he - with his specialized knowledge - more closely resembles a well-trained dog than a harmoniously developed person.
Kush Vijay Karla, aka KVK is a very popular figure among his peers and even those who are not from RGNUL have heard about him because he is the man. Apart from his excellence in academics, he is very helping guy. You gotta get things done? Then better call KVK because he knows a guy who knows a guy who might also know a guy ...... He was the most popular kid in the college. As a prolific author, he has 7 books in his archives(which is full of hundreds of other articles and millions of inspirational quotes) already but 'best is yet to come'. A long way to go Kalra Sir!
Mr. K.K. is an ardent author. During Law School he was famous by Cut Copy Paste. Yeah Kush's Laptop is full of journals of Ivy league Law schools, Magic Circle Firms and UN Publications. Kuku sir is personally very helpful. Whenever anyone approaches kalra sir.. he says " oye kisi ko batana mat.. tu mera bhai hai... bus ye file tujhe de raha hoon. and within 10 mins that very file will be in hands of every hostelers. Yeah 1 more thing.. kuku sir is also a good mooter.. like he won Philip C Jessups International Moot Court Competition (North Round) 2008. .. All the best sir jee
