Each month our friends at The AU Review will be highlighting the best new music from Australia. Check out their top picks for December below.
The Laurels – Sydney
Larry Heath, Editor-in-Chief: When someone asks me "what band do you think best sums up the Sydney music scene" my answer consistently over the past three years or so has been The Laurels. Seen at CMJ 2012 for the first time, The Laurels have been consistently packing out rooms in Sydney for years, coming to represent our cities underground rock scene better than any other, first nationally and now internationally. Their brand of rsychedelic rock is as good as anything you'll hear from the genre around the world, sometimes even better, with tracks like "Tidal Wave" and particularly "Black Cathedral" still sitting as stand outs of their sets after all these years. A band not to miss.
The Trouble With Templeton – Brisbane
Lucy Inglis, Sydney Writer: "Someday Soon", a song by the Brisbane based alternative folk act The Trouble With Templeton, makes for powerful listening for a number of reasons. To begin with, lead singer Thomas Calder's vocals have a startling sincerity to them, proving him to be a youthful, astoundingly expressive singer. Furthermore, as the song is delivered acoustically with great emphasis placed upon Calder's melodic, story-telling vocals, it is enchantingly raw and heartfelt. After opening with a gently regretful tone, the number launches into an assertive, foot stomping chorus to tell the story of a character yearning to, "Find my place someday soon." As Calder sings, "I'll hang my skin on an old coat rack. And I'll fly the wind cos baby I'm not coming back," with a mix of optimism and sadness, you cannot help but be drawn into a bitter-sweet story that is beautifully told. A young, talented act that is beginning to make waves in the Australian music scene, this is a band well worth watching.
City Riots – Adelaide
Sosefina Fuamoli, Adelaide State Editor: City Riots have planted themselves firmly in the minds of the wider Australian market over the past few years and it isn't hard to see why. Their blend of dreamy indie rock is easy to get caught up in and seeing them perform live provides you with even more proof that this band is a group of musicians who seriously know how to craft a catchy pop song and make it translate well to the live stage. Seasoned performers, having supported the likes of The Smashing Pumpkins and The Academy Is…, as well as a slew of amazing Australian talent, City Riots is a band who should be bigger at home than they are. With their upcoming release, I wouldn't be surprised if we see a lot more of City Riots-related news popping up around the place. Check out their clip for "Wait For You," the first taste of the new record, Sea Of Bright Lights.
Shimmergloom - Perth
Tony Lendrum, Perth State Editor: If you live outside of Western Australia you may have had a slight excuse for having not caught on to the magnificence that is Shimmergloom, but that excuse exists no longer: Shimmergloom has infectious raw energy. It reminds me of nights in the student guild listening to live bands who played for the solely for the love of making music (and maybe wishing for one groupie at the end of the gig). Unfamiliar Nights will have you playing an air guitar on "Control", waving your your cigarette lighter or iPhone in the air on "Foolish Ways." For the rest of the album you will just be thinking of ways to get your boss to allow you to crank this EP up at work.
The ReChords – Melbourne
Mandy Hall, Melbourne State Editor: The ReChords recently played at the AU Review's 4th Birthday Party in Melbourne to an appreciative crowd. This trio from the northern suburbs of Melbourne have been making themselves well known around town and now internationally since hitting the shores of Europe in 2011. The music itself is as diverse as you can get within the boundaries of its roots/Americana heritage but yet pushing against those boundaries at various times. You can definitely hear elements of early hillbilly, bluegrass, and western swing. And at times it takes you down that early R&B path with some almost doo wop harmonies and backing vocals.

Yesterday (7 April 2011) Westminster City Council ignored the opposition and pressed ahead with plans for a by-law which will outlaw rough sleeping and mobile food distribution (i.e. soup runs) in a designated area around the Victoria station in London. Final decisions await a full Council meeting in May.

Dear community, customers, partners, and Secunians,
I am thrilled to be able to announce that today Secunia has joined forces with the Danish private Equity Company Dansk Kapitalanlæg, buying a minority stake in Secunia of approximately 31%. The primary incentive for the partnership is to get a strategic and financial investor onboard to strengthen Secunia's further development plans.
It is a very positive and natural step in Secunia's development, and I am confident in the value that both Dansk Kapitalanlæg and the newly elected board will be able to provide to us as a company, as well as to you as customers and community members.
In total five high-profile and recognised individuals will be on the board, counting the following:
It should be emphasised that Secunia will remain on the already set track, driven by the same vision, core values, and targets. We are still to maintain close professional relations with our customers and community members, ensuring that Secunia continues as a market-driven company, and we are still to focus on being the number one provider of reliable Vulnerability Intelligence and Vulnerability Management tools. This we will achieve through even better products and services.
Over the last eight years, Secunia has been on an incredible journey, experiencing strong growth and a continued intensified demand from the market; a development that has been recognised and awarded by industry peers such as Frost and Sullivan, stating that "Secunia has outshone competitors". This is extremely impressive when considering that in 2002 we started as a small entrepreneurial company with 'only' our hard work to make a difference and prove the Secunia concept. But we succeeded and have now reached a stage where we are recognised with national as well as international awards; just last week Secunia was able to celebrate 'HIGH FIVE' having received five awards recognising Secunia as "unmatched", having "outshone competitors", and for its excellence and leadership; awards granted by Frost & Sullivan and Online Trust Alliance (OTA) respectively.
Finally, I would like to recognise that Secunia's fantastic development is the result of our dedicated customers, our loyal community peers, and the many Secunia employees, who every day do their absolute best to ensure that Secunia is the number one vendor, providing the best solutions and services to the market. To that I would like to say – thank you!
As you can imagine, it is a very exciting day here at Secunia, and I am extremely happy to be able to finally share this news with you.
Stay Secure
Proud Secunian

Life and the Times of Madeline G.
Starting drugs wasn't the hard part for me- it was when I decided to stop. At the age of seventeen, my life was falling apart. During school, I was always an academic, grade a student, but shortly after just a few months I had turned into a high school dropout drug addict. All I wanted was to get high. My drug of choice was more, no label, just more. I had turned into a depressed, self loathing zombie. I couldn't do anything without being high, yet I couldn't do anything when I was high. Laughing, conversing, feelings, emotions and even words were a thing of the past for me. I felt like this wasn't going to be it for me. I had felt like there was more to this life than just getting high. In September 2004, I was first introduced to a support group. There were people like me, trying to get clean and recover, who were my own age. They were laughing and talking, and I wanted that again. I was scared, but I thought that I could get clean or check myself out of this life. I decided to go to detox. During my time in detox, I learned that there were treatment facilities that could help me to stay clean and start a journey of recovery. It was a four month treatment program for young adults. I learned a lot about myself that I never wished to look at before. For example, I worked on self-esteem, how to love and respect myself, how to set boundaries in my life, why I was an addict, and how drugs affected me. All things that I had no idea about while using. When I got clean, I was able to start rebuilding a bridge, which was burned while abusing drugs, with my family. One day at a time, I was able to pull nine months of continuous clean time together. I went to meetings, had support with new friends and family and tried to stay self aware of my actions, thoughts and behaviours. But by letting those things slide, I started hanging out with a guy who was still active in addiction and one thing lead to another, and I was getting high again. After that experience, I realized that I had to give up all my old friends, the places I used and that I could not associate with people who did drugs. Recovery has been a main focus in my life. I know have three years continuous clean time, and I have done the things that are suggested to me, like going to meetings, staying connected and to continually reach out. I'm not going to lie; this life has not been an easy road. I have a secondary illness, chronic depression. I have seen many physiatrists and counsellors, and I have even struggled to get out of bed some days. I continually struggle with motivation and ambition for my life, but I have learned to put one foot in front of the other and try to always do the next right thing for my life. Just trying gives me hope to go on. Knowing that I am on a better road today, not dead, overdosed or in jail has helped me to stay clean. When I want to get high, I remember how I felt at my rock bottom, full of desperation and despair and not wanting to live, and that helps me to stay clean one more day. If I have no gratitude for my life, all I have to do is walk a couple blocks by the local city homeless shelters and that fills my heart with gratitude. Some days, I feel that life owes me something, like I was dealt a bad hand of cards, or that I desire something better. But life has given me what I have gone through because I am strong enough to handle it. God doesn't make junk.

Elizabeth Prettejohn, The Art of the Pre-Raphaelites (Princeton University Press, 2000)
Come in I'm just sorting through some art books that I'm reviewing. Just toss the mail off the chair onto the carpet. I'll sort it out later. Though mind the cats underfoot when you do!
Collecting art books, really expensive art books, is a perk of working here at Green Man. Even more than sampling more music than one might think exists, or diving into piles of novels in hopes of finding something really good, there's art books. Now, most of us will buy a CD or two from time to time on spec, a novel for the sake of seeing if it works for us, or a single malt that we've never heard of, but really costly art books are 'nother matter. I, for one, do not buy them unless I'm feeling really flush, say after getting paid well for a gig. And what I may buy at that point is usually an artist I've been collecting for sometime, say a book by William Morris or Maxfield Parrish. I've been known to pay quite a few quid for that sort of work. More than I'll admit here, thank you!
So what do we get here for art books? Well, Grey Walker's reviewing Meinrad Craighead's Crow Mother and the Dog God: A Retrospective, and I know that our Editor in Chief invoked executive privilege to claim Susan Seddon Boulet: A Retrospective. And I got one that I've been eyeing for some time now Elizabeth Prettejohn's The Art of the Pre-Raphaelites. I know you can see several dozen books on the Pre-Raphaelites on me book shelves. Why was I after this particular one? Ahhh, this is the one that the Tate Gallery did. If you aren't up to date on the British art scene, you should be made aware before we go any farther in this review that the Tate Gallery is the national gallery of British art from 1500 to the present day. (That's actually an oversimplification, as Tate's actually four galleries: Tate Britain is the national gallery of British art from 1500 to the present day; Tate Modern is their new gallery of modern and contemporary art; Tate Liverpool is the largest modern art gallery in the UK outside London; and Tate St. Ives shows modern and contemporary art in a spectacular Cornish space. Make sure you have good walking shoes if you're visiting the Tate!) Now guess which gallery has the best collection of Pre-Raphaelite art, period? That's right the Tate.
Down the past century and a half, the Pre-Raphaelites have almost always been controversial in art circles as much for their, errr, sexual activities as for their artwork; but they have always been extremely popular with museum goers, who find their art rather appealing. Elizabeth Prettejohn's new volume provides the most comprehensive view of the movement to date, and the first new work on them in over fifteen years. (Though popular with the aforementioned museum goers, they are not 'tall in favour among the weedy set known as academics.)
The Art of the Pre-Raphaelites shows us why, a century and a half later, Pre-Raphaelite art retains its power to fascinate, trouble, and ofttimes shock its viewers. (Well, less than it did the Victorians. Much of it is quite tame by contemporary standards. Or even by Edwardian standards. Naked tits just aren't as shocking now.)
So who were they? Calling themselves the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood as an artistic gesture against what they thought was the vulgar, unrefined contemporary art of their day, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, John Everett Millais and William Holman Hunt produced a statement of ideas that they thought would revolutionize art in Victorian England at the hieight of the rule of Victoria. Their art borrowed heavily from Classical sources and, often, featured their wives, lovers, and the wives of other artists that they were fucking. More than a few naked tits, lots of red hair, and allusions to the Classical myths created a mythos for them that permeated their art and lives. It certainly didn't help that, like William Morris, who would use their themes in creating his Arts & Crafts movement but a short while later, they were prolific buggers. Very prolific buggers.
Not surprisingly, The Art of the Pre-Raphaelites is an illustrated book, but what makes it interesting is not the artwork, which I've seen many times before, but rather the new and sometimes startling questions about the group's social and artistic identity. Was the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood the first avant-garde movement in modern art? (Possibly, possibly not.) What role did women play in the Pre-Raphaelite fraternity beyond being artistic models and lovers? (More than most critics admit.) Did ever-so-tangled relationships between the artists and models affect the paintings? (Of course!) The author also goes beyond the social aspects of this group to analyze the art as, GASP!, art. It is this melding of social history and art as art that makes this work unique in the field.
Is it worth the price? Yes, it indeed is. Princeton University Press should be proud to have made this work available for Americans.

A YouTube video showing several students assaulting another one caused some trouble at the Agnes Hodge elementary school after numerous parents viewed it. It seems that all the students involved in the fight were already disciplined but it's not quite clear what was the video showing, because it was removed by the company's employees. According to Brantford Expositor, the video was recorded with a mobile phone and showed a boy being kicked and punched while other students were cheering in the background. Obviously, the parents were already informed about the fight, all the students being disciplined for the fight.
"Dave Pyper, a superintendent with the Grand Erie District School Board, said many children carry cellphones because their parents consider them a "safety feature." He said that safety feature is now becoming a "safety hazard" as young people use the phone's camera feature to create videos. "Parents may not be aware of the extent of the abuse," said Pyper. "Kids can get into a lot of trouble pretty quickly on the Internet. It's an area of concern for a lot of people," Brantford Expositor reported.
This is not the first time when the videos posted on the online video sharing service cause trouble for the main actors. Although a common search for school fights on YouTube returned a considerable number of clips, most of them were already removed by the parent company Google after they were promoted to famous cases. A lot of clips attracted school suspensions and even tougher punishments for the students after the videos were showing them assaulting other boys and even girls.
In the past, some clips were even sent to the police, the officers investigating the cases after the victims reported the assaults. However, most of the cases were ended with schools suspensions and expulsions of the students involved in the fights.


text: bobgromski 5pts Let me make it simple and clear: the reason the American car companies are failing (and being turned into the new Trabant factories by the Black Osama fascist regime) is because the American consumer has been misled by the rabid left media. The Consumer Reports eco-left hates 'evil' cars in general, and American cars in particular. By so grossly besmirching the reputation of the American manufactures and their products in the eyes of our gullible lemmingesque population, they are the primary culprits in the demise of a once proud workforce and industry. By the same token, if YOU have ever bought a foreign made vehicle, YOU are just as guilty!Automobiles with front wheel drive, straight fours and more stereo watts than horsepower makes me want to retch. Don't get me started on the inefficiency of 'green' electrics!

Your Letters: April 23
Worth saving
As a daily reader, it is easy to see that we are not united as to the direction America should go.
Many letters to the editor express anger over the issues facing us and each other's opinions It is, therefore, appropriate to remember the words on our coins: E Pluribus Unum — From the many, one.
America is an idea as much as a place. Nowhere else has there been a country where an individual can go and — if he or she chooses — become one with the people and accepted as such.
One can go to any other places, learn the language, learn the history, become a citizen, live out his or her life there and will still never be fully accepted.
Choose any country in the world and this is true. Only here can a person become a citizen and be completely accepted. This is an idea and a place worth saving.
— Mike Kohl,
Simi Valley
A good start
I fully support President Barack Obama's healthcare reform, which will, in the long term, reduce the deficit and lead the way to a more equitable society. I was a passionate supporter of the public option; however, since that was compromised, I am pleased to know all employers will be required to contribute toward the entire well-being of their employess. Insurance companies will have to accept pre-existing conditions and will not be able to discriminate against insureds when they most need help.
My 22-year-old is currently without health insurance since my employer dropped him from my coverage. I cannot afford to pay for his costs, so I know what it feels like.
I hate the way the opposition is using people like Sarah Palin and extreme talk-show hosts and tea party activists to misinform and scare the public (mostly poor, illiterate and prejudiced people) against their own interests and the greater good of this beautiful country.
I admit much remains to be done in bringing down healthcare costs and, in my opinion, healthcare providers and pharmaceutical companies that are shamelessly motivated by greed and profit should be held accountable and forced to reduce costs of prescription drugs and hospital bills and stop prescribing unnecessary medication when the patient can possible be guided toward a healthier lifestyle.
I hope in the future we will get a comprehensive national healthcare system for all citizens.
I congratulate Obama for bringing forth historic change in the face of such unimaginable dirty politics from the opposition.

Mayoral facts
Ventura mayor recall by the numbers.
1. Decision to close Wright Library due to the current extreme fiscal constraints.
2. A Ventura citizen group dissatisfied with Mayor Bill Fulton over the closing of Wright Library, his voting record and "refusing to work on the behalf of the community's best interest" files to recall him from his position. (Note: one could substitute Fulton for any politician du jour that doesn't serve your best interest.)
3. This citizen group must secure 9,500 valid registered voters by June 10 to qualify the recall for the Nov. 2 ballot, or have the taxpayers — that's you and me — foot the bill for a special election to the tune of up to $250,000.
How fiscally responsible is this? What budget will this come from? Will a new group of citizens then become dissatisfied because another budget was cut? Can we recall the citizens?
— Sherry Schafer,
A good fit
My mother, Debra Cordes, has been an educator for the Oxnard Elementary School District for more than 32 years. For the last eight years, she has been the principal at Harrington School. Almost two months ago, she was told that after all her years of service, she was not a good fit and would be involuntarily reassigned to the classroom next school year.
My sisters and I have shared my mom with this school district our whole lives. I have seen how much time and energy she invests in her school, with her staff, her students, but most importantly with her community.
She often works 10- to-12- hour days and still brings work home. Not only does she work late, but she has also accumulated more than 190 days of sick leave. She attends almost all the district-sponsored student events and is quite the cheerleader at her school's basketball games. Isn't that a good fit?
Her commitment to the district and, more recently, to Harrington School has only empowered the students of our community. Every year, her school improves on the California Standardized Tests. Isn't that a good fit?
Were all the principals evaluated by the same criteria? Was there any criteria? I ask the OSD officials to please tell her what she did wrong, so that my family and I can better understand. With all the inconsistency and troubles in our education system, I cannot understand why a district would want to change something that is working or, more specifically, remove a person from their position who is a good fit. My mom is what is right for the students of OSD, and has been for the last 32 years.
— Mark Cordes,
Double standard?
Re: your April 17 article, "Still no answer to why sex abuse not confirmed earlier," and April 17 editorial, "Answers sought in child abuse case":
After reading about the Brian Martin allegations, I am angry. In October 2007, based on a report from an after-school provider, Child Protective Services and the Ventura County Sheriff's Department removed our children from their schools and held them for more than four hours.
My daughter was interviewed for more than 75 minutes and after making no allegations against me, law enforcement, CPS and the District Attorney's Office decided to perform a physical exam on our 6-year-old daughter, without a court order and without parental notification. They then placed our children in foster care, despite no evidence corroborating the charges against me.
We spent the next 18 days fighting to get our children back. We prevailed and sued the county in federal court. We prevailed there also (O'Shea v. county of Ventura), leading to a change in policies and procedures and a monetary settlement. This information is given so people will speak out and demand changes to the county Juvenile Court and CPS system.
Parents need to know their rights, and the children that are truly crying out in desperation for help need to receive it. After reading the Martin story, I wonder if there is a double standard in Ventura County.
— Kerry O'Shea,
Thousand Oaks
Republican input
Re: Delton Lee Johnson's April 8 letter, "Gallegly's about-face":
Johnson is correct in one respect: The healthcare bill would have been much better if the Democrats in Congress had allowed the Republicans to incorporate their ideas instead of creating government-run healthcare behind closed doors.
True, there were some show hearings in the beginning of the process, but every amendment offered by Republicans during the House hearings, if they were allowed to be voted on at all, were voted down by the Democrats.
Republicans were excluded from the process from then on while Democratic leadership crafted the bill in secret.
If Republicans had been included, the final bill would not have cost $1 trillion, cut Medicare, imposed new taxes, or imposed new financial and regulatory burdens on businesses.
Instead, healthcare reform would have increased portability, lowered insurance premiums and increased access for those with pre-existing conditions without radically overhauling our entire healthcare system. Republicans would have reformed the medical malpractice system that forces doctors to order unnecessary tests and procedures in order to avoid being sued.
Republicans would have ensured patients have more choices, rather than have a one-size-fits-all system dictated by bureaucrats in Washington.
Informed voters with the Democratic leadership would have actually included Republicans in drafting the legislation instead of having a few photo ops.
— Bob Lagomarsino,
(The writer is a former member of Congress. — Editor)
Defense spending
Re: Lynn Weeks' April 20 letter, "Budget cuts":
Weeks wrote that the Department of Defense consumes 53 percent of our budget. Dead wrong. Defending our country consumes only 14 percent of all federal monies spent, even after 9/11.
It seems that the left can't debate the tea party folks so they invent facts and demonize and degrade people.
— Mark Priske,
Thousand Oaks
Audra's leadership
Audra Strickland has represented me in the Assembly for the last six years. I know she has worked to cut government spending and supports legislation that eliminates wasteful spending that has plagued our state.
We need her leadership in Ventura County to keep county government spending in check.
— Trevor Woolley,
Thousand Oaks
How will you make your selection for the upcoming election. Without appearing to cynical, what many believe to be realistic, is that we primarily have Damocrats and Repugnancans. But, wait, we also have political opportunists like Linda Parks, a one-time Democrat who obviously switched parties to improve her election chances.
She supported Thousand Oaks City Council candidates, both of whom turned against her. She parroted simplistic slogans like "tax and spend" and has put self-interests far above public interests. We deserve better.

Strickland mailers
I have received my second "internal communication" from the Ventura County Republican Party on behalf of Audra Strickland and am disgusted by the misrepresentations in it.
At least half of the so-called reforms she is claiming credit for are already in existence. There already are programs that have business-equipment sales tax exemptions, investment tax credits and research-and-development tax credits. These are programs that have been around since 1984, when Audra was about 10 years old.
Don't take my word for it. Go online to http://www.caez.org/ and read about enterprise zones for yourself. What other false claims will this group make?
We don't need any more junk mail from this group that has apparently hijacked the local Republican Party and is so cynical that they think Republican voters are ignorant. I have voted Republican longer than Audra has been alive, and I'll vote for Linda Parks for Ventura County Supervisor. Incidentally, she is a Republican, too.
— James Aidukas,

Actions questioned
Registered Republicans in District 2 received a fantasy mailer recently from the Ventura County Republican Party promoting Audra Strickland. It was about her being committed to creating and saving jobs and getting the unemployed back to work. Interestingly, there was no mention of any actual accomplishments as an assemblywoman the past six years. Was that because there are none? The mailer "Jobs First" should have been "Printing Jobs First," considering the endless mailers from both Audra and her husband, state Sen. Tony Strickland.
Remember the two mailers Audra Strickland sent in December when she announced her (later withdrawn) candidacy for county treasurer?
She used state funds to advertise herself and to subtly pressure the Board of Supervisors to reject the proposed treasurer qualifications, which she didn't meet. Those wasteful mailers cost thousands of dollars, paid for with our taxes. Was that an example of her so-called fiscal conservatism?
Why has the VCRP injected itself into the nonpartisan race for supervisor when the only declared candidates are both Republican? Is it because the Stricklands control the VCRP through family and friends? Did this latest mailer skirt the campaign ethics rules since it was paid for by the VCRP, not Strickland?
I say enough of the VCRP — contributing to it is the same as giving money directly to the Stricklands.

Bitnami Redmine Stack3.0.0-0
editor's review
Bitnami Redmine Stack is a freely distributed and multi-platform software project that aims to deliver and easy-to-install and easy-to-use distribution of the Redmine bug tracking software and its runtime dependencies. It can be deployed on desktop computers or laptops using native installers, a virtual appliance or modules for the Bitnami LAMP, WAMP and MAMP stacks.
What is Redmine?
Redmine is a flexible project management web application. Written using Ruby on Rails framework, it is cross-platform and cross-database. Redmine includes support for multiple projects, Gantt calendar and chart, role-based access control, news management, per-project forums and wikis, SCM integration and more.
Installing Bitnami Redmine Stack
Bitnami Redmine Stack is distributed mainly as native installers, which have been generated using the BitRock InstallBuilder cross-platform tool, designed to support all GNU/Linux distributions, as well as the Microsoft Windows operating system.
To install the Redmine application and its runtime dependencies on your PC, you will have to download the file that corresponds to your computer's hardware architecture (64-bit or 32-bit), run it and follow the on-screen instructions.
Run Redmine in the cloud
Thanks to Bitnami, users will be able to run the Redmine software in the cloud with their own cloud hosting platform or by using a pre-built cloud image for either of the Windows Azure or Amazon EC2 cloud hosting providers.
Virtualize Redmine or use the Docker container
In addition to installing Redmine on PCs or run it in the cloud, you can also deploy it on the Oracle VirtualBox and VMware ESX/ESXi virtualization software, thanks to Bitnami's Ubuntu-based virtual appliance. A Redmine Docker container will also be available for download on the project's website.
The Bitnami Redmine Module
Besides the Bitnami Redmine Stack product reviewed here, Bitnami also offers modules for its LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP), WAMP (Windows, Apache, MySQL and PHP) or MAMP (Mac, Apache, MySQL and PHP) stacks, which allow you to deploy only the Redmine software on personal computers, without having to install its runtime dependecies.

Although the SCO Group had a few advocates at the start of its litigation marathon, things have gone quiet in the SCO corner recently. And this comes as no surprise – the course that SCO has taken has proved to be an expensive path due to skyrocketing legal costs. SCO's recent petitions have not been very impressive, and some observers expect the court to comply with IBM's petition and close the proceedings for good. Kudos to the hard-working reporters from Groklaw.net [1] who have published the minutiae of the proceedings for all to read.

I thought this soup was only average. A lot of time for nothing special.flag if inappropriate
This is a great recipe, delicious as written but also very adaptable. Filling your house with the aroma of the turkey stock alone is worth the price of admission! But the soup is quite extraordinary as well. I added the zest and juice of one lemon at the end, which I think added some needed brightness and goes great with the turkey meat. Excellent use for Thanksgiving leftovers.flag if inappropriate
IF I am good at making anything I am really good at soup. My husband said this is the best soup Ive ever made. As you can see that is a huge compliment to this soup. It was truly delicious. Dont go changing everything like others always do. Keep the integrity of the recipe and make it as is and then see if you need to change it. Also for Gods sake Im sick of hearing I didnt have this or that so I put this in instead. Go to the store and buy the ingredients for goodness sake.flag if inappropriate
I gave this a go and it was fantastic. I only had a turkey breast so i bumped up the stock with a lill "Better than Bouillon" an I added a lill fresh lemon juice . I also added the last bit of Turkey. I would so make this again!flag if inappropriate
Truly delicious. A great use for that turkey carcass. Even the picky eaters loved this one.flag if inappropriate
Really great easy soup - that goes one step beyond typical turkey noodle soup for thanksgiving leftovers. 1 change: i threw in the meat that fell off the bone, and also took about twice as long to make the stock.... to give it full flavor. Other than that this recipe is perfect as is. the Lasagna noodles are such a great touch.flag if inappropriate
Truly outstanding! Made with a just a few modifications. I really dislike dark turkey meat so I was a bit worried I wouldn't like the stock. We made a 20 lb Turkey and 6 lb breast for Thanksgiving and used the breast cavity from both. I added a couple carrots, few stalks of celery, a handful of fresh parsley and peppercorns to the stock. We cooked for about 3 hours and chilled overnight. I was really surprised there was very little fat to skim the next day. Added a few extra carrots and celery as well as a couple of tablespoons sherry to the final product. We also added about 3 cups of breast meat which was good but I don't think it is necessary. It's really a vegatable soup with a very deep flavorful broth. Also, thought the lasagna noodles made the dish. I love big noodles and never thought about breaking-up lasagna sheets. Overall, this far surpassed expectations. By far my favorite Thanksgiving leftover recipe. Will make for years to come!flag if inappropriate
Didn't have any tomatoes or leeks. Used chopped frozen spinach. Other than that, made the recipe as written. Yummy.flag if inappropriate
This is a great soup base. We skipped the rosemary which my husband hates and can overpower a soup. We added one cup of Porcini mushrooms. We used orichiette pasta. We used two turkey legs to make the base. We added a cup of the dark meat from the legs and a cup of white turkey meat to the pot. As long as my husband can half watch the football game, he's happy chopping. Nice recipe to do together.flag if inappropriate
This recipe was fabulous. We just returned from Italy and this soup brought me right back to Tuscany. Made great use of the leftover turkey from Thanksgiving and was a wonderful meal that prolonged a weekend of great eating. Light, full of flavor and so easy to make. This is a keeper, my family is already planning ahead for the first snowy night here in Connecticut.flag if inappropriate

The Plot
Maria, a novice in a strict Salzburg Abbey, loves the majestic landscape of the Alps and often forgets about religious duties hiking on "her" hills. Mother Abbess, a very wise woman, thinks Maria might be better suited for life outside the convent and decides to send her to Captain von Trapp's villa to act as a governess for his seven children.
Upon arriving at the villa, Maria is surprised at the military discipline in which the children are held by their father, a noble and widowed naval officer. She discovers she is the latest of many governessees that the children have already driven away. Maria takes a different approach to the children. Instead of educating them, she introduces music to their lives, teaching them how to sing and play and laugh - and so, is rewarded with the children's sympathy and love.
A puppet show, staged by the children of their father, is the first step towards a blooming love between Maria and the Baron. Only a few days later, however, the Captain presents Baronesse Schroeder as his fiancée to his children. During a ball, the Captain and Maria stage a folklore dance for the audience and - while dancing - discover their feelings. Baronesse Schroeder encourages Maria to leave the Trapp Villa at once. She flees to the convent.
The children soon feel Maria's loss and think about ways to make her come back, while the captain decides to marry Baronesse Schroeder. Maria, back in the convent, confesses her love for the Captain and wise Mother Abbess makes her "Climb evr'y mountain" for her love. She hurries back to the Trapp Villa only to find the Captain set on the marriage. The Baronesse, however, recognises the true love between the Captain and Maria and leaves. Accompanied by seven children, Maria marries the man she loves in the Abbey where she had wanted to become a nun.
Fate strikes. When they return from their honeymoon, the Nazis have already occupied Austria. The captain plans to escape from forced naval service and sees his opportunity: The whole family takes part in a chorus festival at the Salzburg Festival Hall. Here is where the captain sings his "Edelweiss", a contribution to his beloved country-hours before leaving it forever. The von Trapps make a dramatic escape after hiding in the Abbey cemetery.
The final scene sees the Trapp family climbing the Alps to safely reach Italy - the dawn, symbolizing their new life ahead.

Jesse James Writing His Memoir
Entertainment Feb. 21, 2011 AT 10:50AM
Jesse James is ready to tell all.
Sandra Bullock's ex-husband, 41, has reportedly inked a deal with Simon & Schuster's Gallery Books imprint to publish a memoir.
Though no publication date has been set, American Outlaw will likely be released later this year.
James will certainly have much to reflect on.
PHOTOS: Revisit Sandra and Jesse's relationship
Married to Bullock for nearly five years, James saw his marriage crumble after Bullock learned of his numerous affairs. Their divorce was finalized in June 2010.
The CEO of West Coast Choppers, James is currently engaged to L.A. Ink tattoo artist Kat von D and has three children from his first two marriages.

Sounds like this "so-called" masseuse needs customers! However, any person interested in a
masseuse should choose someone (at the suggestion of the hotel staff who is responsible for
the people they employ or allow to service their guests) who has more professional ethics than to report someone who has "groped" them - whether true or not. Most masseuse are called at the "midnight hour" to help someone who is in pain or needs to get to sleep. I'm sure they have dealt with those who has too much to drink,etc.,before this hotel guest. This masseuse should have to show all the other customers who have had this person perform a massage on them and get their opinions as to her services at the "midnight hour" (and their capacity of drink) . . .
So what is her problem?? Not enough customers or is she "new on the job" and doesn't have
enough customers or is suffering from some injury to her that prevents her from calling the hotel staff (security)?? I'm sure the hotel staff would have "assisted" this masseuse if she had a problem.
I "smell" another attention-getting person who is looking to "cash-in" on their otherwise "messy"
attempt to get money despite the other honorable ones who do their job they were hired
to do.
It's too bad that one "bad apple" ruins it for the ones who carry out their jobs in a most
honorable manner (and a job many have to support their families who don't otherwise have an education or is a second job needed to support their primary job income).

If she truly wanted JUSTICE and JUSTICE ALONE why didn't she press for a criminal investigation? No, instead she went for a CIVIL trial where she can 'sue' for just about anything in the hopes of coming out with some PAYOLA. If she were really 'agast' at Gore's actions (which quite frankly I doubt the man ever made any attempt) she would have filed an assault charge and NOT dropped it and much later gone for a civil case. People like her hold up our great system with such garbage costing our system billions of dollars. This is ridiculous and Gore should turn around and sue her butt. WHERE's HER PROOF?!?!?

I bet if its one woman look for more like tiger woods. Why did she wait for years to file civil? At least she did report the story when it happened. why didn't the police investagate harder and gather the evidence at that time. Perhaps a fresh set of eyes should open the evidence locker and see what turns up. Look at all these people whom feel entitled?

So let me get this straight. The police didn't find evidence of a sexual crime, so now she is going civil route. I call this the path to riches for trash. I mean if you want to destroy a man quickly, you just accuse him of something sexual. Then the tabloid shows come and offer her cash to tell all. Then she gets a "book" deal that some ghostwriter writes, and so, proof that our society has gone downhill when people profit off trash, lies, and destroying people.June 30 2010 at 11:51 PM Report abuse Permalink +3 rate up rate down Reply

Suffolk Dakar's diverse students celebrated their rich cultural heritage on International Day 2009, an on-campus holiday held in March. This year students from 14 countries—Benin, Burkina, Burundi, Congo (Brazzaville), Gambia, India, Kenya, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Togo, Uganda, and the United States of America—planned and participated in this lively three-day event.
Leading up to the grand cultural festival, students showed off their athletic abilities before enthusiastic audiences. The festivities kicked off with a spirited ping pong competition, followed by a soccer tournament the following evening. Sport luminaries attended both events.
At the International Day Festival, students prepared and shared tasty dishes representative of their countries. West African, Asian, and East and Central African cuisine were all on the menu and served with a range of regional beverages, including Senegalese favorite bissap.
National pride was on display at the Country Parade, in which students marched with the flags of their homelands. Others showed off their national costumes at a colorfully glamorous fashion show. At the talent show—for which students diligently rehearsed for weeks—groups representing Africa's many countries staged rousing dance performances. Local artist DJ Awadi spun hot tracks on his turntable to cap the festivities.
The Suffolk Dakar community—including Director of Student Life Macode Gueye, who spearheaded this year's festival committee— is already looking forward to another successful International Day in 2010!

Caledonian Maritime Assets Limited (CMAL) has announced Ferguson
Shipbuilders, Port Glasgow, Scotland as the preferred bidder for the
contract to build the world's first two sea going Roll On Roll Off
vehicle and passenger diesel electric hybrid ferries.
Ferguson will be working alongside Glasgow based ship design specialists Seatec and electrical specialists Tec-Source to deliver the project.
The announcement follows confirmation of Scottish Government funding to CMAL for the Low Emission Hybrid Ferries Project in February and the recent tender process, which led to a number of Scottish and European shipyards submitting responses for the contract.
The project will provide a boost for commercial shipbuilding on the Clyde - it has been over four years since the last commercial ship was fully built and delivered. It will not only secure around 75 existing jobs in the Port Glasgow and Inverclyde area, but create around 100 more. In addition, Ferguson Shipbuilders is expected to create 20 new apprenticeships directly as a result of the contract.
The contracts, when signed between CMAL and Ferguson, will see two hybrid ferries built to accommodate 150 passengers, 23 cars or 2 HGVs, with a service speed of nine knots.
The ferries, which will be operated by the current operator of the Clyde and Hebrides Ferry Services, CalMac Ferries, are designed for use on many of the short crossing routes around the Clyde and Hebrides and will use some of the most innovative new 'green' technology, including battery banks supplying a minimum of 20% of the energy consumed on board.
The vessel will be powered by small diesel generator sets, feeding power to a 400 volt switchboard, which will supply power to electric propulsion motors that turn the propellers. In addition the battery banks will provide power to operate the vessel.
Benefits of the hybrid ferries include reduced fuel consumption and impact of CO2 emission and other pollutants, noise reduction and lower maintenance requirements.
The ferries will charge overnight while they are moored on the islands
they will serve and it is hoped that in the future energy from local
wind, wave or solar systems will be used to charge the batteries, making
the process even more environmentally friendly.
It is anticipated that the first vessel will enter service in late spring/early summer 2013, with the second following six months later. It is likely that the first ship will initially serve on the Sconser- Raasay route, subject to modifications being carried out at Sconser.
Guy Platten, Chief Executive of CMAL commented: "This project provides a fantastic commercial opportunity for Scottish shipbuilding and we are delighted to announce Ferguson as the preferred bidder for the contract to build the world's first sea going RORO passenger hybrid ferry.
"CMAL is committed to leading the way in innovative ferry design and building for the future and we hope to see the first of these vessels in operation in early 2013."
Commenting at the official announcement today (3 November) at Ferguson Shipyard in Port Glasgow, Cabinet Secretary for Infrastructure & Capital Investment Alex Neil said: "I'm delighted to announce that we have awarded Ferguson Shipbuilders with a £20m contract to build the world's first hybrid ferries, which will not only secure around 75 existing jobs in the Port Glasgow and Inverclyde area, but create around 100 more. In addition we expect Ferguson to create around 20 new apprenticeships directly as a result of this contract.
"This award is a perfect illustration of how we are making good on our commitment to create the vital jobs needed to boost local economies and crucially, to help stimulate growth across Scotland.
"The two new ferries will come into operation in 2013 and are the first sea going ferries in the world to incorporate a low-carbon hybrid system of diesel and electric power.
"The technology will be cleaner, quieter and cheaper to operate and maintain than ever before. It will help Scotland to meet our ambitious climate change targets, and demonstrates the vast economic potential of developing green technology and moving to a low carbon economy.
"Today we should celebrate that Scotland's world renowned engineering skills made famous on the banks of the Clyde will not only continue as a direct result of the new jobs the contract will create, but flourish when a new generation of skilled shipbuilders soon begin their apprenticeships."
Richard Deane, Managing Director of Ferguson Shipbuilders Ltd added: "The Clyde has a proud shipbuilding heritage and it is wonderful to be part of such a ground breaking project, which will see the world's first hybrid ferries sailing in Scotland.
"The project will have a major impact on the local economy, including the creation of a number of new jobs throughout the course of the build and we look forward to signing the contracts and starting work in due course."
Notes to Editors
1. Further details and a timeline for development will be issued once the details of the contract have been finalised.
2. CMAL own property at piers and harbours at more than 24 locations throughout Scotland and is embarking on a programme of investment and improvements, which will create better facilities.
3. In addition to its pier and harbour facilities, CMAL owns 30 ferries, which are leased to CalMac Ferries Ltd for use on ferry services on the Clyde and Hebrides.
4. CMAL is a publicly owned company with Scottish Ministers as the sole shareholder.

You have pushed it as far as it can go. We have now reached a tipping point.
This was the clear message from business and mining today at the last day of the public hearings on Eskom's applications for a 16% annual increase in average electricity tariffs over the next 5 years.
Roger Baxter, senior executive for strategy and economics at the Chamber of Mines of South Africa said that already 50% of the local platinum industry is marginal or in a loss-making position. In the gold mining industry this percentage is 37%. These industries have seen electricity price increases of 258% and 143% respectively over the last four years, adding about R7bn in costs onto their costs profile.
Baxter said that further increases of this magnitude will cause a "tipping point", forcing companies to either restructure – leading to job losses – or by deferring or cancelling energy intensive projects that again hamper economic growth. This could actually lead to a decline in electricity demand over the coming years, throwing a "spanner in the works" of Eskom's projected demand for electricity, Baxter said.
He called mining the "flywheel of the South African economy", employing a bulk of the country's labour market and accounting for about 19% of GDP. He put it to the National Energy Regulator of South Africa (Nersa) that to reach the objectives set out by department's such as the department of trade and industry to create jobs and increase industrialisation "reliable and competitively priced electricity is a fundamental prerequisite".
"We are reaching a tipping point where electricity is just becoming too much of a large cost component," he said.
These are not empty threats if recent events are used as background. The recent furore over Anglo American Platinum's announcement that it needs to restructure, leading to the potential loss of 14 000 jobs and the department of minerals and energy accusing the company of not consulting with them, highlighted the issues faced in the platinum industry.
Chris Griffith, CEO of Anglo American Platinum, has said that the platinum industry is in a very difficult situation. "We made a loss last year of R1.5bn (headline earnings); we're not at loggerheads with the department of minerals and energy, but the message is a very difficult message," he said.
Speaking to Mineweb earlier this week, UASA's division manager, Franz Stehring, pointed to power price increases as the biggest culprit affecting Amplats's profitability -which had led to the need for restructuring – saying the company's electricity bill for Rustenburg had increased dramatically.
Late last year, Lonmin highlighted the continuing cost pressures that are expected to affect the group in the new year. Lonmin expects unit costs to increase by around 10% as a result of the wage agreement signed to put an end to the violence at Marikana and because of the inefficiencies inherent with any ramp up to full production, whilen the Sibanye Gold pre-listing statement's "risk factors" section, Sibanye mentions disproportionate power cost increases.
Professor Raymond Parsons, on behalf of Business Unity South Africa, said that any further price shocks for electricity will have a negative effect especially on the small and medium enterprises, where a lot of the hope for job creation is placed.
"The external and domestic economic circumstances have changed quite considerably and it can't be business as usual in either the public or private sector," he said. He added that in an ideal world price increases should stick to inflation levels, but that BUSA realises this is not realistic. "The question is now how we arrive at a number between 6% and 16% smartly," he said.
Parsons also highlighted the difficulties caused by the way municipal prices are determined.

Reggie Bush Wants a "Ring" if He Wins Super Bowl
When New Orleans Saints player Reggie Bush steps into Miami's Sun Life Stadium on Sunday for the Super Bowl, his focus will be on trouncing the Colts -- not on getting matrimonial with girlfriend Kim Kardashian.
Bush, 24, squashes ongoing rumors that he and Kardashian made a "bet" the he would pop the question if the Saints win.
Feast your eyes on HUGE engagement rings from stars who really are getting hitched
"I think it would be a little backwards if I was getting a ring from her," the football star told the New York Post regarding engagement-ring chatter. "I'd rather get the ring from [NFL Commissioner] Roger Goodell."
Gettin' sporty: check out a slideshow of stars who've romanced athletes
Kardashian scoffed at the tall tale two weeks ago. "I never made any kind of bet," she blogged Jan. 19. "A radio interviewer asked what I dreamed for in 2010 and I was hesitant and thinking about it and they said what about ring said yes, a Superbowl ring for Reggie. Then they said that if he gets a Superbowl ring, I get an engagement and I said 'ok deal!' LOL."
See rare, adorable photos of Kim and her sisters as little girls!
Bush admits that he's recognized more for his famous girlfriend than his own football stardom. "It's kind of funny, some people, they don't even know I play football, they know me as her boyfriend," he tells the Post, recounting a recent run-in with a Kardashian fan in a hotel.
The pair have been dating for over two years, and reunited in September 2009 after a "break" announced in July.
Recap the best moments from Keeping Up with the Kardashians!
"I am so excited and proud," Kardashian says of Bush' upcoming game in the new Us Weekly. "I think every wife and girlfriend will be so nervous watching [the SuperBowl], as we all want our men to win....I am just there for him, stress-free."

Cowboys, Eagles Have Schedule Advantage Over Jints
The next six weeks will be interesting ones, as they always are, in the NFC East. The Giants lead the Cowboys by a game and a half and the Eagles by 2 1/2. That's the good news. The bad news is the Giants have a hellish schedule. The other two teams have much easier paths.
Here's a look at what teams are facing the next few weeks schedule-wise, from our colleague Jimmy Kempski of Blogging the bEast…..
The Giants are playing a first-place schedule and still have Atlanta and Green Bay to go with New Orleans, Baltimore, Washington and Philadelphia.
Dallas will play three straight home games beginning this week and five of their final seven at home.

SUWANEE -- Mayor Jimmy Burnette paid special recognition Tuesday evening to three people for their donations of a painting and a sculpture to the city of Suwanee.
Ann Parsons Odum donated a framed painting of the old Pierce's Antiques store, a historic structure located in Old Town Suwanee. Odum, who painted the likeness, said that she also recently moved her gift shop painting "Parsons Gifts" to Suwanee, near Fresh Market. "We're honored to receive this painting and proud to have Ann in our community," Burnette said.
Suwanee residents Cathy and Rob Rohloff were also recognized Tuesday for their generous donation of the "Sunset" sculpture in Sims Lake Park, in memory of Cathy's sister Laura Sandlers-Neidlinger. The Rohloffs, their family, friends and members of the community purchased "Sunset," which was originally displayed in Town Center but was moved to a serene and quiet setting at Sims Lake Park.Santa arriving in
Suwanee on FridaySuwanee's annual Caboose Lighting and traditional arrival of Santa on a tractor-drawn sleigh is scheduled for Friday.
The festivities will begin at 6:30 p.m. with carols, hot chocolate and opportunities for parents to take free photos with Santa Claus. The celebration will take place in Historic Old Town Suwanee.

Top Jockeys Ready for Gulfstream's December 3 Opening
Top Jockeys Ready for Gulfstream's December 3 Opening
By Brian Skirka
HALLANDALE BEACH, FL - Gulfstream Park Racing & Casino will be home to quite a few new features throughout its 2011-12 meet, including a Dec. 3 return of live racing, a 12:35 pm first race post time, and a new infield video board.
One thing remaining the same, however, is the overwhelming talent that will call the Gulfstream Park jockey's room home during the upcoming season.
Headed by Paco Lopez, Gulfstream's leading rider in each of the last two seasons, the 2011-12 jockey colony will feature many familiar faces to South Florida racing fans, but will also consist of a few new ones.
Three-time Kentucky Derby (G1) winning rider Calvin Borel will make Gulfstream Park his home for the 2011-12 meet. The 45-year-old Borel has experienced a resurgence over the past five years, having guided Street Sense (2007), Mine That Bird (2008), and Super Saver (2009) to victories in the Kentucky Derby, as well as being the regular rider of 2009 Horse of the Year Rachel Alexandra.
One-time Gulfstream Park fixture Chris DeCarlo is returning for the 2011-12 meet after spending the summer at his Monmouth Park home base. Last winter, DeCarlo spent his time in Saudi Arabia as the first-call rider for King Abdullah.
Among the riders returning to Gulfstream Park is John Velazquez, last year's runner-up in the jockey standings. Just months after completing the local meet with 64 victories, Velazquez captured his first Kentucky Derby a year ago aboard Animal Kingdom.
The 40-year-old Velazquez is looking forward to the start of a new year in south Florida.
"I'm very excited about Gulfstream," he said. "I think starting in December is a good idea. Unfortunately, I have a couple scheduling conflicts so I won't be there the first two weeks, but I'll start riding there on the 15th. I'm looking forward to finding my next Derby horse."
Javier Castellano, third in the jockey standings last season, returns to Gulfstream after an extremely successful 2011 season which saw him win multiple Grade 1 events and finish as the leading money earner at Saratoga's summer meet.
The 34-year-old native of Venezuela will once again ride full time at Gulfstream Park beginning on Dec. 3.
"I think starting the meet a month earlier is a great idea," Castellano said. "Hopefully, a lot of people – horsemen and fans – will come down early and make it a great meet right from the start. I know as a jockey, I'm really looking forward to it. The horses we ride during the winter at Gulfstream will hopefully be the horses we ride throughout the rest of the year. Gulfstream always has great racing which means great horses as well."
Lopez will be attempting to earn his third consecutive riding title at Gulfstream, a feat previously accomplished by only Jorge Chavez (1998-2000).
Joe Bravo, fourth in the rider standing last year, returns to Gulfstream Park after a very lucrative winter last season in which he guided the speedy Little Mike to a trio of Grade 3 victories.
Gulfstream Park regular Jose Lezcano rounded out the top five in the standings a season ago and will return to south Florida for the 2011-12 meet. The 26-year-old recently captured the Breeders' Cup Ladies Classic (G1) aboard Royal Delta.
Other household names expected to call the Gulfstream Park jockey's room home this winter include Jesus Catanon, Manoel Cruz, Alan Garcia, Fernando Jara, Julien Leparoux, Rajiv Maragh, Luis Saez, Alex Solis, Elvis Trujillo, Cornelio Velasquez and Hall of Fame members Kent Desormeaux and Edgar Prado.

A series of free High School Chemistry Video Lessons.
In this lesson, we will learn
Physical Matter Properties - Chemical Matter Properties
Physical matter properties include color, odor, density, melting point, boiling point and hardness. Physical properties are divided into intensive and extensive properties. Intensive properties are used to identify a substance and do not depend upon the amount of substance (density). Extensive properties depend on the quantity of the substance (mass, volume). Chemical matter properties include flammability and reactivity.

What are the disadvantages?
Unfortunately, some of relative care's strengths can also be weaknesses. Having a close personal relationship with your child's caregiver can make it difficult for you to establish an employer-employee relationship.
Some relatives, especially those of an older generation, may feel that they know more about raising children than you do, and they'll ignore your misguided (according to them) ideas about care issues like feeding, discipline, and sleep. In addition to undermining your authority, this can confuse your child and end up hurting your relationship with your relative. To avoid this, be sure to set up clear lines of communication and establish ground rules from the start.
Tension can also arise over payment: You offer money because you feel you'd be taking advantage otherwise; she pooh-poohs your offer but secretly wants to take it and ends up making you miserable with insinuations and subtle jabs.
Admittedly this may be a worst-case scenario, but in lots of situations, it's not all that far from the truth. And whether you pay your relative or not, you may end up feeling deeply indebted to her, which can be awkward and may make you less likely to stand up for your childrearing beliefs.
If an older relative (your mother or aunt, for example) is your caregiver, her lower energy level may be a disadvantage. She may have more than enough stamina to care for an infant, but a running, jumping, exploring toddler may utterly exhaust her.
"Lauren started walking when she was 8 months old, so by the time she was 14 months, she was hard to keep up with, especially for her 62-year-old grandmother," says Christine Harrison, a BabyCenter mom, who relieved her mother-in-law of her job. Adding another child to your family may also prove to be too much for some relatives.
If your caregiver (relative or not) doesn't have the energy to come up with new ways to entertain and stimulate your child — or safeguard him against possible accidents — you may want to consider switching to a home daycare or center. You may want to do this anyway as your child enters the toddler and preschool years. Many 2-, 3-, and 4-year-olds get a lot out of playing and socializing with other children, something they usually don't get in relative care.
Finally, unlike home daycare and daycare centers, relative care is not regulated or licensed by any government agency or association. That means you have to really trust your caregiver — and your own eyes — to make sure your child's environment is safe, clean, and welcoming.

Mike Birbiglia is working hard to turn "My Girlfriend's Boyfriend" into a film. "I'm adapting it into a screenplay, which I'm hoping will shoot in 2013."
Mike Birbiglia wrote, directed and starred in this summer's "Sleepwalk With Me," a semi-autobiographical comedy about stand-up and sleep disorders.
Mike Birbiglia has a method for dealing with hecklers. "I usually just sort of treat them like people who have interrupted a conversation at a party," he says.
Mike Birbiglia didn't create "My Girlfriend's Boyfriend" to inspire the lovelorn, but that's been an unintended consequence. "Some people have even decided to get married after seeing the show, which is insane because the whole show is this elaborate argument against marriage," he says.
Audiences always seem to connect well with Mike Birbiglia, but he's not sure why. "I don't know," he says. "I just had a variety of experiences. I played sports, did art, got beat up sometimes. I had awkward first kisses and went to horrible middle-school basement parties. I think I just wrote down a lot of stuff that happened. And tried to find the jokes."

LOCATION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Roseland Theater (8 NW 6th Ave., Portland, OR)
[DIRTY SOUTH] Down began as a Southern metal supergroup in New Orleans way back in 1991. Over time, and three long-delayed albums, the band has managed to outlive the supergroup curse and function as a real unit with priority status from its contributors. Last year brought The Purple EP, the first in a new series of bite-size records. Regardless of your feelings on the music of Down (or the inbred lowlifes who love them), you gotta hand it to vocalist Phil Anselmo for tirelessly supporting underground metal. Down took Danava out on tour in 2009, and tonight is one of three Northwest shows featuring Portland's own Lord Dying, a punishing quartet now celebrating its recent signing to Relapse Records.

Proviz 'electroluminescence' just in time for winter
You've got to love jackets, backpacks and safety vests that light up in the dark
Internally-illuminated Proviz have launched a perversely dark version of their waterproof jacket and there's a new helmet featuring built-in red LED rear lights.
The commuting cyclist's window of daylight is narrowing drastically so Proviz have timed to perfection their launch of the new Triton helmet with an integral rear light and a new colourway of the existing jacket we reviewed with an 8/10 this time last year. The jacket features the more-or-less unique benefit of an internal battery pack powering external illuminated panels that cast an ethereal blue glow to stand out from the competing white and red lights in traffic and for a definite presence in the pitch dark lanes.
Proviz have now launched a black version of the jacket which would for odder for a waterproof cycling safety jacket if it didn't have the electroluminescent panels meaning it will still light up like a christmas tree when you need to be visible. At other times, the more sober colour should appeal to leisure and office-bound cyclists who don't want to draw attention to themselves in dayglo yellow. The price is £72.99.
The Triton helmet is all-new and Proviz say they were aiming for a rounder 'urban' look while designing in two pairs of red LED rear lights which look like they might offer a degree of side as well as rear visibility - a good thing high up, we reckon. The helmet body itself is available in fluo yellow or black with large reflective areas on both. Fitting is via a modern-style rear turny-dial knob and the price is £55.99. There's also a little kids' helmet called Eris in yellow only for £24.99.
There's more electroluminescence going on in the Proviz backpack but we reviewed that along with its recent laptop-and-hydration-bladder smuggling additions only back in September and there's also a simple tabard-style vest with flashing illumination and reflectives for £35.99. Illumination in a pair of gloves would be a big ask but at least the Proviz ones are fluorescent yellow with reflective patches for £26.99.
Available from Today's Cyclist dealers or proviz.co.uk
Proviz electroluminescent backpack has partitions for laptop, phone and hydration bladder for £44.99
I stuck a spare front light in the back pocket of my Altura commuting jacket last night. Lit up the back of my jacket a treat, big glowing bright yellow patch on my back in addition to the red light on the seatpost and helmet. Mate saw me and said it was very visable without being at all distracting.
I think lighting yourself up rather than pointing lights in drivers eyes is the way forward. im now considering mounting a white light on my rack pointing at my jacket, should light me up a treat from all angles without blinding drivers.
