Ocean Liner History: Messageries Maritimes (Compagnie des Messageries Maritimes) In 1835 the French Government created a state owned steamship service between Marseilles and the Levant. This continued until 1851 when it was transferred to the management of Messageries Nationales (the state operated road communication concern).
The shipping side of the business was split from the road activities in 1852 under the name Compagnie des Services Maritimes des Messageries Nationales. With the return of the French monarchy in 1853 this became Compagnie des Services Maritimes Imperiales and the company expanded dramatically over the next few years and by 1857 owned 57 ships.
Scenes of Messageries Maritimes ships in various parts of the world.
After the Franco-Prussian War and the abolition of the monarchy in 1871, the company became Compagnie des Messageries Maritimes, usually shortened to MM. In 1904 the fleets of Compagnie Francaise de l'Est Asiatique and Compagnie Nationale de Navigation were taken over.

Ok here's our List
1. Gym Leader
2. E4 and Champiom
3. Stone Evolution
So should we get Rampardos for Roark or Cranidos
Credits to Sworn Metalhead
Alright so this is final:
Roark and Rampardos this
Gardenia and Cherrim this
Maylene and Lucario this
Wake and Floatzel this
Fantina and Drifblim this
Bryon and Bastiodon this
Candice and Abomasnow this
Volkner and Electrivire this
Rough color schemes. Any objections?
Credits to Sworn Metalhead
Haha, yup. We should do exactly this. Now the E4...
Aaron and Drapion this
Bertha and... Which one? Hippowdon or Rhyperior? this
Flint and Magmortar this
Lucian and... Which one? Bronzong or Gallade? this
Cynthia and Garchomp this
And should we do Proffesor Rowan too maybe? He can have Bidoof. this
Fantina was easy to beat, actually. Golbat survived two Psybeams before dying, and Monferno finished it off.
I have now defeated Crasher Wake, and my team are the following: Infernape, Crobat, Leafeon, Lopunny, Milotic and Gallade
Life is empty. Life is worthless.
When we take a life,
we aren't taking anything of value.
Teach Gallade ThunderPunch or Lopunny. Heck, you can run it on Infernape as well. Obliterate Gyrados, though Gallade and Infernape has the most use to deal with flying types.

Dialga or Palkia?
I have to go with Dialga. I... um, I prefer not to share my reasons.
Dialga, for it is part Steel-Type. And palkia look like a woohoo
Life is empty. Life is worthless.
When we take a life,
we aren't taking anything of value.
I like Dialga more than Palkia, even though my favorite type is Water.

I found Gardenia to be the hardest Gym Leader when I chose Turtwig as my starter. That leech seed was annoying.
I think I lost to her twice before I beat her. ^^;
Lol I think people are answering the wrong questions, but w/e. the banner format is already decided :3
Here's a new question for ya.
What is your favorite Pokemon from the Great Marsh (Pre and post Dex), including Daily Binocular Pokemon?
-Drapion for me. I love that thing, especially since hax is legal ingame. Skorupi is a pain to level though... Pity...
If I keep doing so many questions, this thread will have nothing to talk about soon... Lol
Anyone has any ideas? (other than spamming questions to keep this thread active?)
Credits to Sworn Metalhead
Yanma. mostly because it is Yanma, the Speed Boosting demon with access to Hypnosis and Dream Eater.
And because Yanmega looks badarse
Life is empty. Life is worthless.
When we take a life,
we aren't taking anything of value.
Oh yeah, the trio question.
Mesprit, it was so fun tracking her down and capturing her, and DIALGA!
Best route? That's a tough one... I don't know, I like them all!
Well, I like Giratina the most (first one here) and I like Uxie, because it is knowlege. It has nothing to do with the fact I fainted the other two in Diamond.
Oh, and I would like to say that we got some more artwork for the club!

You all have heard of Boogie Wipes, right? Those awesome saline wipes that are great for getting crusty boogies out of little noses. If not, you can check out my Boogie Wipes review to see what a fan we are of them here at The Life of Rylie...and Bryce too! Well it isn't just Rylie that is a fan of them. I have a confession to make: there may have been a few instances when I used her Boogie Wipes too. Nothing beats soothing saline on a sore nose!
Well, I'm happy to say that I no longer have to get into the Boogie Wipes when I'm sick. Why? Because the makers of Boogie Wipes now make Achooz saline nose wipes for adults!
From the Achooz website:
When colds and allergies set in, all the blowing and wiping with regular tissues can leave your nose feeling sore, red and raw. Now, you can make your nose happy with Achooz Saline Nose Wipes, the next generation in tissue.™
Our team of doctors and chemists (not to mention our own stuffy noses), created our unique non-medicated formula to break down mucus and soothe the nose while wiping. It includes the same gentle, patent-pending magic of saline, vitamin E and aloe as our Boogie Wipe products and is available in Fragrance Free for everyday use and Cool Menthol for extra stuffy noses.
I received a pack of 15 Achooz in the cool menthol scent, along with 4 single packs (2 each of cool menthol scent and fragrance free) to review. I have been lucky and have not had a cold since I received them, but I am so glad they will be available to me the next time I am sick. The wipes are super soft, and are so much better on sore noses than dry tissue. There have been times when I have wiped my nose so much that it gets severely chapped, and then just hurts worse each time I wipe it. That doesn't happen with Achooz. The saline breaks down the mucus, and the vitamin E and aloe actually moisturize your nose to prevent that chapping.
My husband has some pretty severe environmental allergies, and now that allergy season is here, he will also be using the Achooz, I'm sure. They aren't time consuming to use like the saline rinses, and will easily help him to breathe better when needed.
I personally like the fragrance free Achooz for every day use, but I think the cool menthol scent will be great for those super stuffy noses. I'm not usually a fan of menthol because it can be so strong and overwhelming, but the Achooz menthol wipes really aren't that strong and have just enough of a scent to help open those nasal passages.
Achooz can be found in the cough & cold or tissue aisle of major retailers such as Walgreens, or online at Amazon.com and Drugstore.com. To find out more, visit Achooz.com. Sign up for the Achooz newsletter to receive deals and coupons, and to receive a $0.50 off printable coupon.
The next time you have a stuffy nose, make sure you choose Achooz!
Mandatory entry: (This must be done in order for any optional entries to count) Tell me what you do to make yourself feel better when you have a cold.
Optional entries: After you make the mandatory first entry above, you can get one extra entry (unless stated otherwise) for each of the following (please leave a separate comment for each):

I will announce the winner once they have been confirmed. This giveaway is open to residents of the US and Canada.
Disclosure: This is my honest opinion. I received samples of Achooz at no cost for the purpose of this review. A big Thank You to Achooz for providing the giveaway prize!

EXHAUST POLLUTANT nitric oxide breaks down when sunlight hits the titanium dioxide-coated concrete, releasing reactive oxygen that turns NOx to nitric acid ions. The alkaline concrete neutralizes the ions, which are washed away by rain.
Image: SARA CHEN
Buildings, roads and sidewalks have developed an appetite for air pollution. Researchers in Japan and Hong Kong are testing construction materials coated with titanium dioxide--the stuff of white paint and toothpaste--to see how well they can fight pollution. Better known as a pigment for whiteness, titanium dioxide can clear the air because it is an efficient photocatalyst: it speeds the breakdown of water vapor by ultraviolet light. The results of this reaction are hydroxyl radicals, which attack both inorganic and organic compounds, and turn them into molecules that can be harmlessly washed away with the next rainfall. But it wouldn't work to smear toothpaste on the sidewalk--the titanium dioxide crystals in such applications are too large (about 20 to 250 nanometers wide). The width of the pollution-fighting form is about seven nanometers, offering much more surface area for photocatalysis.
In the early 1970s researchers from the University of Tokyo described titanium dioxide's photocatalytic abilities. Since then, scientists have exploited the compound to kill bacteria on hospital surfaces and to treat contaminated water. Fighting nitrogen oxide on the streets is the latest twist. In Hong Kong, concrete slabs coated with titanium dioxide removed up to 90 percent of nitrogen oxides, most commonly spewed from older cars and diesel trucks and a contributor to smog, acid rain and other environmental headaches. In taking care of the contaminants, a coating of titanium dioxide did in minutes what the environment does in months, says Jimmy Chai-Mei Yu, a chemist at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Moreover, he adds, because titanium dioxide is a catalyst, it could last forever.

5.1 Introduction
The most 'important and greatest puzzle' we face as humans is ourselves (Boring, 1950, p. 56). Humans are a puzzle – one that is complex, subtle and multi-layered, and it gets even more complicated as we evolve over time and change in different contexts.
When answering the question 'What makes us who we are?', psychologists put forward a range of explanations about why people feel, think and behave the way they do. Just when psychologists seem to understand one bit of 'who we are'

Researchers discover biological mechanism for growing massive animal weapons, ornaments
In the animal kingdom, huge weapons such as elk antlers or ornaments like peacock feathers are sexy. Their extreme size attracts potential mates and warns away lesser rivals.
Now researchers led by scientists at the University of Montana and Washington State University have discovered a developmental mechanism they think may be responsible for the excessive growth of threatening horns or come-hither tail feathers.

The Third World's War
Although never a "hot" war between the superpowers, the Cold War was waged partly through a series of proxy wars in Third World countries from Guatemala to Korea to Vietnam. Although a great deal of attention has been devoted to a select number of U.S. Interventions in the Third World, there is an urgent need to see the "Third World's War" in perspective, showing how successful the Soviet Union was in pursuing a strategy of fomenting revolution and how consistently successive U.S. administration

The group, which may be labelled a 'team', could be tasked to organise or produce something about which some of the members may know more than others.

Gwinnett Daily Post
ATHENS — A Georgia-based restaurant firm says suspicious computer files have been found at some of its locations, prompting it to warn customers about the potential for fraud.
Zaxby's Franchising Inc. said in a statement that the suspicious files may have resulted in unauthorized access to credit and debit card information at more than 100 stores.
The Athens-based firm says the affected stores are in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Mississippi and Virginia.
Company officials say the issue involves malware files, which could have been used to export guest names and credit and debit card numbers. The company says it notified law enforcement of the potential criminal activity. Zaxby's says a forensic investigation hasn't determined whether credit or debit card data left the processing systems of any stores.

Gareth Widdop will be gunning for his England captain Kevin Sinfield when he leads the Melbourne Storm attack against Leeds Rhinos in tomorrow's PROBIZ World Club Challenge at Headingley.
The 23-year-old Halifax-born stand-off is hoping to catch the eye of England coach Steve McNamara ahead of the World Cup, acutely aware of the fact that Sinfield is the man standing in his way of the number six jersey.
Widdop, who emigrated to Australia seven years ago, made his England debut at full-back against France in 2010 but is now the first-choice stand-off for the Storm after playing a key role in their 2012 Grand Final triumph.
After being barely used in the 2011 Four Nations Series and missing last year's autumn internationals through injury, Widdop is keen to make his mark early in a World Cup year, starting with tomorrow's showdown with the Super League champions.
"Everyone wants to represent their country," he said. "I didn't play too many minutes last time but all I can do is concentrate on playing good football for Melbourne Storm.
"If I get selected for England, then that would be great but for now it's a matter of focusing on playing well for my club team."
Sinfield was recently named as the winner of the 2012 Golden Boot ahead of Melbourne and Australia captain Cameron Smith - a selection that drew criticism from much of the media Down Under.
Widdop had no problem with the choice, however, and appreciates Sinfield's value to both club and country.
"Fair play to him. Everyone is happy for him," Widdop said. "He's a great player and he's done great things in the game. It was well deserved.
"Everyone knows how good a player Kev is. He's played for a number of years now. England need someone like Kev who has a lot of experience. I will be doing everything I can to get selected."
While Sinfield will be making his sixth appearance in the World Club Challenge, Widdop will be featuring in his first, having missed out on selection against the Rhinos in 2010 when he was just breaking into the Melbourne team.
"Three years ago I'd not played first grade," he recalled. "I was one of the young boys.
"It was a good experience and hopefully it will help me out on this trip. It was disappointing to miss out but I've had a good two years in the NRL.
"I still want to learn and keep improving my game but obviously I'm very happy with my achievements in the last two and a half years."
Widdop made the switch to stand-off when Brett Finch left Melbourne for Wigan Warriors in 2010 but welcomed the extra competition for the spot with Finch's return.
"It's good for myself and some of the other younger players," he said. "It keeps everyone on their toes.
"Finchy is probably one of the most experienced players in our team. He's been around for a while and he brings that extra bit of depth if we have any injuries."
Finch will start his second spell at the club from the bench tomorrow while Widdop renews his half-back partnership with Cooper Cronk, who also missed out in 2010 after being on the losing side when the two sides met in 2008.
Cronk has labelled tomorrow's contest a series decider while Leeds seek to become the first club to win four world titles.
Meanwhile, Widdop is looking forward to running out for the first time at Headingley, where as a youngster he used to stand on the western terrace to cheer his Bradford Bulls idols.
"I was a massive fan of the Bradford Bulls and I've been here a few times," he said.
"My favourite player was Robbie Paul - he was pretty much the reason I supported the Bulls - and there were players like Lesley Vainikolo, Joe Vagana and Shontayne Hape in the team."
Also in that star-studded Bulls line-up were front row partners Brian McDermott and James Lowes - now the coaches in charge of Leeds and hoping to make Widdop's first competitive senior club game in England a disappointing experience.

Adelaide is a gracious city and an easy place to live, and despite its population of around one million, it never feels crowded. It's a pretty place, laid out on either side of the Torrens River, ringed with a green belt of parks and set against the rolling hills of the Mount Lofty Ranges. During the hot, dry summer the parklands are kept green by irrigation from the waters of the Murray River, upon which the city depends, though there's always a sense that the rawness of the Outback is waiting to take over.
The original occupants of the Adelaide plains were the Kaurna people, whose traditional way of life was destroyed within twenty years of European settlement. After a long struggle with Governor John Hindmarsh, who wanted to build the city around a harbour, the colony's surveyor-general, Colonel William Light, got his wish for an inland city with a strong connection to the river, formed around wide and spacious avenues and squares.
Postwar immigration provided the final element missing from Light's plan: the human one. Italians now make up the city's biggest non-Anglo cultural group, and in summer Mediterranean-style alfresco eating and drinking lend the city a vaguely European air. Not surprisingly, one of Adelaide's chief delights is its food and wine, with South Australian vintages in every cellar, and restaurants and cafés as varied as those in Sydney and Melbourne.
Adelaide may not be an obvious destination in itself, but its free-and-easy lifestyle and liberal traditions make it a fine place for a relaxed break on your way up to the Northern Territory or across to Western Australia.
Weather | Add to Trip | Add Photos |
A statue of Adelaide's founding father, Colonel William Light , stands atop Montefiore Hill and gazes proudly across the city he helped to create. Below him rolls an expanse of attractive green parkland, resplendent with rose beds, peppered with trees and dominated by the ivy-clad Adelaide Oval . To the rear of the cricket ground lies lazy Torrens Lake, its southern foreshore replete with grand bluestone buildings that contrast starkly with white concrete extrusions of the Festival Centre . Further south, modest towers mark the heart of Adelaide's central business district, while to the east a corrugated line of hills defines its inland boundary. To the west, the coastal plain slips gently away into the rich blue waters of St Vincent's Gulf.
So it is easy to see why there should be a flicker of pride on Colonel Light's weathered face. It is also wholly appropriate that the city of Light should become the city of churches mighty St Peter's Cathedral lays testament to that. However, as all Adelaidians know, there is much more to their captivating city than things ecclesiastical. In modern day Adelaide, festivals, food and fine wine are just for starters.
The City Center
Despite these enlightened days of metrication, Adelaide's central business district still measures exactly one square mile. And it is packed with goodies, all within easy walking distance of each other. This is especially true along North Terrace, where there is ready access to the Hyatt Regency Hotel and Adelaide Casino plus the imposing granite and marble Parliament House building. Moving east, grandiose buildings queue for attention the State Library , South Australian Museum , Art Gallery and Ayers House (the mansion of Sir Henry Ayers, an early state premier who later had a very large rock named in his honor). Further along North Terrace, the weary wanderer can relax amidst the blooms and flowering shrubs of Adelaide Botanic Garden .
Shoppers flock to the ever-festive Rundle Mall , historically the first traffic-free shopping mall in Australia. Many of the big retail players can be found here, as can a variety of street entertainers. The Mall leads eastwards onto Rundle Street, which throbs with a cultural mix of diners and thirsty pub-goers. It is also the primary venue of Adelaide's Fringe Festival . Across the eastern parklands from Rundle Street lies the fashionable inner city suburb of Norwood with its ever-popular dining precinct, The Parade.
Shoppers in search of bargains, or simply fresh herbs and vegetables, head for the Central Market and Chinatown. Neighboring Gouger Street is alive with yummy restaurants; Asian, of course, plus a wealth of other cuisines. In the heart of the city stands the symbolic fountain of Victoria Square . A handy landmark for several hotels, the square also provides a terminus for Adelaide's only tram, which trundles its way to the beachfront at Glenelg.
North Adelaide
Both the city and elegant North Adelaide are isolated from the surrounding suburbs by a leafy moat of parklands . A jewel in Adelaide's crown, this "figure-of-eight" greenery enhances a unique and enviable lifestyle for city-dwellers. It is small wonder, therefore, that some of the state's grandest homes grace the streets of North Adelaide. Along O'Connell Street lies the lure of many fine restaurants, with pavement dining under lacy iron verandas a specialty.
Port Adelaide & District
The generously wide streets, sturdy stone buildings, and uncompromising wharf side warehouses tell tales of a proud and historic past for Adelaide's ocean port. The plethora of street-corner pubs also suggest that this history has been amply laced with rum and brandy! Port Adelaide lies less than half an hour's drive north west of the city and today it remains a modest working port. Tourism through Port River cruises, Sunday markets, twee cafes and informative museums such as the excellent Maritime Museum fuel the local economy. The region as a whole is a fascinating mix of heavy industry, recreation and residential boom, exemplified by the award-winning West Lakes residential development.
The Coastal Fringe
Spanning nearly 70 kilometers north to south, the Adelaide coastal fringe runs from North Haven marina to the sumptuous white sands of Sellicks Beach . Whether viewing or doing, there is beachside fun a plenty. Not to mention sunsets to die for! Explore Adelaide's maritime heritage around Semaphore, follow discerning diners to Henley Beach or enjoy the hive of activity and history at Glenelg.
When there is a swell in the Gulf, knowing surfers head for the mid-south coast, while sail-boarders test their skills off Seacliff Beach . Even nude bathing is catered for on this eclectic coast. Just grab a towel and head for Maslin !
The Adelaide Hills
Rising around the eastern rim of the coastal plain, the Adelaide Hills offer a favorite fresh air treat. Delightful forests of stringy bark gums carpet many slopes, while in Belair National Park , and conservation parks, such as Scott Creek, Cleland and Warrawong Sanctuary , native flora and fauna abound. So watch out for kangaroos, koalas and bandicoots! Farming and market gardening are important industries with vineyards blossoming on many hillsides. Tourism has also taken off, with enchanting villages, such as Stirling and the "little Germany" that is Hahndorf, dotted throughout the hills. Of course, no visit to the hills would be complete without experiencing that breathtaking view over Adelaide night and day from the summit of Mount Lofty .
The Wine Districts
Adelaide is unquestionably the wine capital of Australia, simply because it lies within an hour's drive of some of the finest vineyards in the southern hemisphere. To the north, you will find the world-renowned Barossa Valley with its proud Teutonic heritage, rich soils and exquisite flavors. Equally appealing to many wine-lovers is the quality of product from the south of the city the boutique wineries of McLaren Vale . Indeed, what better way to spend a lazy afternoon than drinking fine wine amidst gentle hills, fertile flats and tinkling creeks?
With more restaurants per capita than any other Australian city, Adelaide offers an abundance of opportunities to exchange the grumbling of empty stomachs for the symphony of chinking cutlery and singing tastebuds. All enclosed restaurants in Adelaide are non-smoking, allowing untarnished enjoyment of South Australian flavors. The fact that Adelaide's two most famous contributions to the culinary arena are its world-class Barossa Valley wines, and its "Pie Floater" (or pie in pea soup), bears witness to the dazzling variety of cuisine available.
Relish the flavors on offer, accompanied with the kind of stimulating conversation that sublime food and a vibrant atmosphere seems to encourage. Then again, when food is this good, who really cares about conversation?
Rundle Street
The succulent and sophisticated core of all things edible in Adelaide is undoubtedly Rundle Street, in the city's East End. Rundle Street is basted with drifts of garlic, slowly marinated in ridiculously long alfresco lunches, chargrilled under pulsating, cocktail-enhanced nights, and served drizzled with a warm and lively atmosphere. With over 50 restaurants, cafes and pubs, offering a plethora of international and local flavors, there is something to please the most pernickety palate. Try Piatto or Scoozi for Italian, Lemongrass or Cafe Michael 2 for Thai. Sample South Australia's own Coopers beer at the Exeter or Austral hotels, or dance till dawn at the trendy Stag Hotel .
Gouger Street
Gouger Street, in the city's southwest, offers another rich hotchpotch of cultures and cuisines. The Central Market oozes fresh produce and divine aromas savor its tantalizing charms before pausing for coffee or an inexpensive meal at one of the numerous cafes. For truly authentic oriental flavors, choose from the wide selection of restaurants in Chinatown, the market's western seam. Gouger Street, however, stubbornly refuses to be defined according to any one style of dining. The street is studded with many tasty gems, from the elegant French, La Guillotine , to the authentic Malaysian, A Taste of Spice , the hearty Argentinean, Gaucho's , and numerous seafood restaurants.
Hutt Street
Hutt Street, to the east of the city, is another favorite cafe belt. Graceful, but not uptight, the street is popular for sunny breakfasts, business lunches and anytime coffees. Choose from the wide range of baguettes at Roma's, enjoy an alfresco brunch at the Citrus Cafe , or experience a classy dinner at Nediz-Tu.
Hindley Street
In the west of the city, Hindley Street is beginning to shed its once sleazy reputation in place of a more hip and arty image. A number of dining institutions have held their ground as nightclubs, cinemas, amusement arcades and alternative shops elbow for space around them. For Lebanese, try Quiet Waters or Jerusalem Sheshkabab House . Marcellina's Pizza Bar or Hindley Pasta Palace are the places for Italian.
North Adelaide
Even the most casual eatery in this up-market suburb exudes a certain sophisticated ambience. Follow a film on O'Connell Street with a meal or a coffee; try Najjars , Cibo or Paesano , or fashionable and attractive pubs such as The Oxford and Royal Oak Hotel . The nearby Melbourne Street is elegant and dignified, yet simultaneously warm and charming. For something out of the ordinary, sample Cajun flavors at Bacall's, or watch a spot of belly dancing with your meal at Babylons. For late night, meaning-of-life type discussions, settle into the intimate Elephant Walk Cafe .
King William Road
Take a short trip south along King William Street, to the prestigious suburb of Hyde Park, where the street becomes a "road" and bitumen turns into paving. Dip into designer boutiques and funky gift stores as you wander along this enchanting leafy precinct, then indulge in waist-expanding cake at Cafe Piccante or Cafe Paradiso , or a slice of syrupy baklava at Zoe's Greek Restaurant. Chocolate lovers will be in a swoon over the miraculous creations at Cocolat . Be warned, even if you are "just looking", calories will throw themselves at your body!
Norwood Parade
Just east of the city is Norwood Parade, boasting a cinema complex and a vast array of predominantly Italian cafes. Soak up the lively, cosmopolitan atmosphere and the rich, garlicky smells, as you catch up with friends at the Star Cafe, Caffe Buongiorno , Caffe Medici or Cafe Bravo .
Seaside Dining
Adelaide is blessed with a 30-kilometer stretch of clean, sandy beaches, the closest of which are only a 15-minute drive from the city. In culinary terms, this equals numerous pockets of picturesque, seaside eateries. The most popular beach is Glenelg, with Jetty Road offering every dining choice. For a memorable evening, dine alfresco at Sammy's, or Lido on the new Marina Pier. North of Glenelg is Henley Square, overflowing with delectable offerings. Taste traditional Greek mezze at Estia or contemporary Australian at Bacchus Wine Bar . Other tempting ocean-flavored eateries include the Semaphore Palais , Grange Jetty Kiosk and Cafe Salsa at West Beach.
No visit to South Australia would be complete without an inspection of its much celebrated vineyards. If your stay is limited, ensure you see and taste the best by booking a tour, such as Barossa Valley Supreme , Barossa Wine Train , or McLaren Vale Food and Wine .
Beyond the Culinary Hot Spots
Make sure you do allow your tastebuds to venture beyond these dining hot-spots, as numerous culinary delights are also sprinkled in less obvious locations. If Indian cuisine appeals, sample Australia's finest at Jasmin Indian Restaurant in Hindmarsh Square. Enjoy classy, multiple-award winning dining overlooking the River Torrens at Jolleys Boathouse . For a unique local dining experience, purchase a "Pie Floater" from The Pie Cart outside the Adelaide Railway Station. Even though it is an Adelaide icon, most Adelaidians swear they have never actually tasted it!
Adelaide is the heart of food and wine in Australia. A few meals in this city will provide ample compensation for any drab and uninspired dining experiences your tastebuds may have endured over the years. Whether you prefer your meal fine or fast, riotous or restful, candle-lit or on a spit ... you will be impressed if you have it in Adelaide.
Tours abound in and around Adelaide for every size of pocket, timetable and interest. Many offer a little of everything, some are more specialized, and there is always a glass of wine on the list. Adelaide sits with leafy dignity on the River Torrens, which stretches between the hills and the sea.
Adelaide's Central Market
There are dozens of organized and guided visits that either concentrate on wine tasting or tour an area with a few food and grape stops. With five world-famous wine regions, the sea and bountiful farmlands, wine and food festivals are a constant on local calendars. If you do not believe this, visit Adelaide's Central Market . Local produce includes seafood, meat, cheese, olives and a plethora of colorful fruit and vegetables. Meet the stallholders and their produce on one of the many tours offered. Victoria Square is also close by and features the Grange Restaurant which is hailed as one of the best restaurants in Adelaide. Not far from here is Tandanya , an art gallery, performance space that explores the rich culture of Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islanders. Close by you can also take a self guided tour of the Botanic Park adjacent to the Adelaide Zoological Gardens . Here you can also relax near Torrens Lake and Elder Park .
Lipson Street
Lipson Street is one of the most historic sites in Port Adelaide. Here you can tour the South Australian Maritime Museum and grab a bite to eat at the Lipson Cafe . Get ready for a blast from the past as you tour the Australian Museum of Childhood . Along Lispon Street you will also stumble upon the South Australian Aviation Museum which will allow you to trace the aviation history of South Australia.
Orlando Wines
The best-known Australian wine, Orlando Wines of Jacobs Creek, originates from the lush Barossa Valley. A selection of maps and tours of the 50 wineries, Lutheran churches and old German towns, is available to help you explore this fascinating area. The Barossa Valley is also home to Grant Burge Wines , a winery that hails some of the best white wines in the region. A great eatery to try in the area is the 1918 Bistro and Grill . The charming cottage and tasty entrees will compliment the wine that you may bring with you.
Mount Lofty
The Adelaide Hills feature conservation and wildlife parks, Mount Lofty Botanic Garden , local wineries, and great trails to venture through the eucalyptus-thronged Mount Lofty ranges. You can also get a great view of your surroundings as you dine at the Mount Lofty Summit Restaurant . Rise early for a dawn tour of the Warrawong Sanctuary and an insight into endangered wildlife. If you're in search for the perfect weekend get away, Coonawarra is the answer. Producing many of the state's classic red wines, this region also allows you to tramp gently around the Naracoorte Caves Conservation Park , which is on the World Heritage list. Coonawarra is also the location of the Zema Estate , a small family owned winery that specializes in red wines.
Whether you roam around Adelaide by foot or on wheels, the great outdoors awaits the nature spirit, or for the shopaholic, bring something from Adelaide back home with you.

Easy to use, the unit manipulates tap water and dish detergent for an approximately 8 hour process, at the end of which, your trophy is ready to be rinsed off and mounted. Temperature is held more constant with the Buck Boiler than when using propane to make damaging the bone structure of the trophy less likely.

Well. That was a week, wasn't it?
Big weather events are big news events. Readers depend on us for minute-by-minute online updates on the snow, traffic and power outages, along with a next-day paper that recaps it all and hopefully tells a few good stories.
Unfortunately, big weather events also make it hard to put out a paper.
As you know, getting to work itself was dicey last week. Even on the worst day, most of the newsroom staff made it in. Some dug out and drove themselves. Some rode with better-outfitted family members. Two walked for an hour.
Technology helps us in these situations. Reporters who can't make it in can email us stories about what's happening in their neighborhoods. But we still need enough people in the office to orchestrate the coverage, go out on assignments and put all the stories on pages.
The closure of the Narrows bridges Friday stranded two page designers and two copy editors scheduled for the night shift in Tacoma. We called up a couple of Tacoma extras and had one of the stranded staffers – also a photographer – shoot pictures for our "trapped in Gig Harbor" story. Retired reporter Kris Sherman, who lives on Fox Island, also pitched in.
Many of us without power at home found the warm office especially cozy.
Our Olympian building, however, lost power Thursday morning and didn't get it back until late Friday. An emergency generator kept the computers running, but not the heat or lights. We sacrificed a couple of computer outlets for a space heater and a coffee maker and continued the effort in the dark.
To get papers out earlier to carriers and give them more time to make deliveries, we "closed" the paper early Tuesday through Saturday. That meant sending final pages from the newsroom to the pressroom at 10:30 p.m. instead of 11:30 p.m.
Even then, many papers were late or never arrived.
Unfortunately, our carriers faced the same problems most of you did. The worst part of the drive was the side streets, where snow plows didn't go and most of our subscribers live. Downed trees and power lines also blocked routes.
By Friday morning, 90 percent of our subscribers had their papers. It may be the first of this week before we get to everyone. Carriers will bring missed papers as well.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
Some customers understandably were upset, but a number of others called to thank us for their delivery service.
"We are grateful to our carriers who have braved the elements," one subscriber wrote, "and perhaps should not have been on the roads – especially in the off-main-street neighborhoods!"
"Today I went out to get a paper not really expecting there to be one," wrote another, "and I saw a young man walking along the side of the road sure enough he was hand- delivering the papers!"
Another reader sent me a picture of footprints in the snow up to her house – the only prints visible anywhere in her yard. They belonged to her paper carrier.
Delivering the news online is much simpler in weather like this.
Even the power outages didn't stop people from consuming news – and lots of it – on their computers, tablets and cellphones.
We wrote more than 60 online stories, updated them repeatedly and posted dozens of photos. We had more than 80,000 daily visitors to thenewstribune.com Tuesday through Thursday – up more than 30 percent from normal. We tweeted or retweeted hundreds of messages on Twitter, the new hub for breaking news. And our Facebook page was hopping.
Many of you helped us "crowd-source" the story. We asked readers to post snowfall totals, road conditions and scene descriptions on an online form. By the end of the day Wednesday, we had more than 300 pinpoints of information on an interactive online map, which we published in Thursday's newspaper. We couldn't have collected that many measurements on our own; reader contributions made it better.
Determined to have a little fun, we also hosted a Best Snowman Contest that garnered 50 entries. (See the winners on Page B1 or go here.) And readers contributed 125 photos on our U-Post-It gallery online.
So thank you, readers, for your help and your patience last week during the snow-slush-ice-rain storm. Here's hoping for a balmy February.

Thank you so much for the award Ashwini but my blog does not accept chainmail awards. No offence. Please feel free to delete my name and give it to someone who will love to receive it and pass it on to others.

Hi There, Thanks so much for thinking about me. You are just too kind.
I will tell you though that, even though I used to participate in awards, giveaways and memes years ago, I don't do it any longer. I enjoy reading about others who do participate --but I just have too many other things to say to participate these days...
Thanks again so very very much.

Using Social Media in Academic Practice: A Student-led Training Initiative
Practice No. 1191
Last modified: 04/11/2010 15:11:32
Institution: University of Nottingham
The Social Media sessions demonstrated a successful integration of a student-led initiative within a formal graduate training provision. The initiative underlined the importance of engaging PhD students in their own learning and training needs, in both sharing expertise with peers and in contributing to their own professional development. In doing so, it demonstrated to other postgraduate researchers how they might utilise their own areas of expertise to develop further student-led initiatives. -

STG presents Trailer Park Boys' Ricky, Julian and Bubbles at the Newmark Theatre in Portland on November 29, 2012 and at the Moore Theatre in Seattle on November 30, 2012.
Ricky, Julian and Bubbles are back with a BRAND NEW live show, but this time they are not alone – Mr. Lahey and Randy will be there in all their drunken glory!
When Bubbles tries to spread the true meaning of Christmas to the world, his good-hearted plans are botched by Julian wanting to cash in on the Festive season and Ricky's relenetless pursuit to meet the real Santa. And if that wasn't enough, all three of them have to deal with the very intoxicated Jim Lahey and his cheeseburger-eating sidekick, Randy.
Spend an evening with the boys for a Christmas show you will never forget!

Ujima Mentoring Community
The Ujima Mentoring Community is a program offered by the Bolinga Black Cultural Resources Center targeted to first- year African and African American students who would like to improve their chances of success by attaining a job on campus and having their supervisor serve as their mentor. The program assists first-year students in making a smooth transition from high school to college. The program kicks off with an early arrival session that takes place before official move-in day on campus and at the start of the school year freshmen are matched with their employer, mentors. Ujima takes place for students' entire freshmen year and outside of work students will meet twice a month in order to cultivate leadership, build a program community, and have fun during social programs put on by Ujima staff.
"If you want to go quickly, go alone. If you want to go far, go together"
