State Rep. John Anthony, R- Plainfield, joins 40 emerging leaders chosen as 2014 Edgar Fellows in the third year of an initiative to stimulate cooperation across regional, political and ethnic lines.
Known for its prestigious reputation, the Edgar Fellows have a highly selective admittance standard and only accept the most qualified Illinois up-and-comers, according to a news release from Anthony's office.
"It is truly an honor to have been selected to participate in the Edgar Fellows Program," Anthony said in the release. "This will be an amazing opportunity for me to learn and grow alongside Illinois' brightest leaders. I am looking forward to hearing everyone's ideas and visions for a better Illinois."
The Edgar Fellows Program accepts only 40 leaders that include elected and appointed officials from all levels of government, as well as Illinoisans who have distinguished themselves in the business world and civic activities.
"In the first two years of our effort, we have seen emerging leaders reflecting the state's political, regional and ethnic diversity form friendships and bonds that will serve Illinois well when it comes to addressing major challenges. I fully expect the 2014 Fellows also will realize they have much more in common than they might have thought while they gain a greater understanding of different perspectives," former Gov. Jim Edgar said in the release.
The fellows will gather from Aug. 3-7 in Urbana-Champaign for an executive training program hosted by Edgar and the University of Illinois Institute of Government and Public Affairs.

Savion was clearly able to showcase his technical prowess demonstrating why he is generally considered the best tap dancer in the world. However, I felt the performance lacked any differentiation or dramatic pauses to better appreciate what he and his partner were doing. Therefore, the performance became very monotonous, and seemed to drag on endlessly, especially after the first hour. He is definitely an amazing dancer, but I feel that in this particular performance he lacked the presence and capacity to engage the audience. I believe a large part of the audience felt similarly as it was obvious that many people had become restless halfway through, some even deciding to cut out 30 to 60 minutes before the end. I also didn't really understand the way he finished his performance--no bow and thank you to the audience, he just turned his back to the audience and stepped off his platform, the curtain falling as he walked to the back of the stage. Maybe that's his trademark, I don't know. I just thought it was weird. Also odd and confusing was the presence of a woman who sat on a platform in the back corner of the stage throughout the entire performance.

Savion Glover is one of the most creative and technically expert tappers I've ever seen! I love the way he always pushes the edges of tap with his new pieces.

Our Visit with the World Wildlife FundMonday, December 21st, 2009
Late last week, we had the fortune to meet with Emily Malatesta Kelton (Director, Corporate Relations) and Sheri Willoughby (Senior Program Officer Business and Industry) at World Wildlife Fund headquarters in Washington, D.C. As one learns more about WWF, you can't help be struck by the size and scope of their impact, which is truly felt in just about every corner of the world today.
With their stated goal to "build a future where people live in harmony with nature", WWF has been working over 45 years to change the world in a myriad of ways. The are the world's leading conservation organization, with operations and impact in 100 countries and supported by 1.2 million members in the U.S. and almost 5 million globally. WWF's unique way of working combines global reach with a foundation in science, involves action at every level from local to global, and ensures the delivery of innovative solutions that meet the needs of both people and nature.
We look forward to exploring how we can work with WWF in the coming months and years especially in their Climate Savers program, as a potential donation partner of BetterWorld, their Earth Hour program and general corporate/industry activities. Thanks so much to Sheri and Emily for all their guidance and help so far, we look forwad to doing some great things together in 2010! For more information on WWF - www.wwf.org

The Outsider - Recap
<-- Previous Episode
Next Episode -->
Night in Storybrooke, and Gold drives Smee out to the edge of town. He shoves the man to the border, and Smee insists that he doesn't want to lose his memories by crossing over. Gold takes his red stocking hat and asks why it's important to Smee, and he says that his grandmother made it for him when he was a boy. The pawnbroker sprinkles it with fluid from a vial and puts it on Smee, and then shoves him over the border. Smee glows with mystic energy and Gold asks him who he is, and if he knows who Gold is. Hook's former lieutenant remembers and realizes that Gold's experiment is a success. Gold tells him to go and Smee runs back into town.
The town gathers for Archie's funeral and Marco says his goodbyes afterward, glad that Archie is a better place.
At Hook's ship, Hook tells Archie to reveal where Gold's dagger is. The psychiatrist insists that he doesn't know about the dagger and Hook believes him. The pirate explains that the dagger is Gold's weakness and he wants to know what other weaknesses that the pawnbroker has.
Gold summons Belle to the pawnshop and tells her that he's created a potion that will let him cross the town when it's sprinkled on an item dear to the person wearing it. Belle asks him what he plans to enchant and Gold takes out the shawl that belonged to Bae. She asks if she could come with him, but Gold says that he only has enough of the potion for one object. After he locks the shawl back up, Gold explains that finding his son is something he has to do on his own.
Once Upon a Time
Belle is a bar when a man, Alistair, talks talking about forming a hunting party to kill a fearsome beast, the Yaoguai. Dreamy approaches Belle and thanks her for the advice on love that she gave him. When he notices her watching the hunting party, Dreamy suggests that she sign up but Belle figures that she will be safer sticking to her books. She admits that the last time she faced a beast, it didn't go well. Before she can explain, the hunters leave and Dreamy tells Belle to take a chance and go with them. After a moment, Belle thanks Dreamy and goes after the men. As she leaves, Dreamy gives her a small packet of fairy dust and says that it might come in handy. Belle says that she knows what magic does to people, but Dreamy says that it's good magic and tells her to be a hero.
Belle goes to the library and finds Hook inside. She realizes that he's the man who broke into her cell and wants to kill Rumplestiltskin, and he chases after her. She shoves a bookshelf on him and ducks into the elevator leading to the caves below. Once she closes the door, Belle calls Gold but he's unable to make out most of what she's saying.
Once Upon a Time
As the hunters travel by wagon, Belle reads a book and Alistair asks how it will help them. She explains that it will show them how to find the Yaoguai. Once she tells them that the writings show they will find the Yaoguai by the lake, their leader kicks her off the wagon and tosses the book after her. Smiling, she wishes them luck and then treads the section talking about how the Yaoguai makes its lair in mountain caves and sleeps during the day. Belle draws her knife and approaches the entrance, and the Yaoguai roars and runs out. Mulan fires at the creature, driving it off, and then goes to Belle. When Belle thanks her, Mulan points out that Belle ruined her hunt. Belle says that she knows how to find the creature and offers to help Mulan, but the warrior tells her to stay out of her way.
Gold arrives and opens the elevator door, assuring Belle that she has nothing to fear.
At the wake at the apartment, Emma offers Henry some food but he's not hungry. She talks to Mary Margaret, who assures her daughter that she did what she can. Leroy comes over and asks when they go home to the Enchanted Forest. Since Archie is dead, they worry that Storybrooke isn't safe. They also worry if an outsider comes to the town and realizes that they are fairytale creatures. Emma says that they don't need to worry about it, but Leroy points out that they'd like to see the outside world.
Gold takes Belle to the shop to use his protective charms for her, but she's more interested in learning why Hook wants Gold dead. The pawnbroker reluctantly explains that Hook took Milah away without providing details. Belle isn't satisfied and Gold simply says that Milah died and that's all that matters. They go into the pawnshop and discover that Hook tore up the place. Gold realizes that he attacked Belle to lure Gold away.
On a nearby rooftop, Hook watches the pawnshop and Smee comes up with Bae's shawl. The pirate is satisfied that Gold is now trapped in Storybrooke.
Gold tears up the shop in a fury until Belle stops him. He insists that it's his fight but Belle points out that it's her fault because Hook attacked her. Gold points out that there's nothing she can do against a pirate and tells her to go back to the library, and asks her to trust him. He insists that he doesn't want to lose Belle and gives her a gun for protection. As Gold goes, Belle makes him promise that he's only going after Hook to get the shawl back, but Gold leaves without doing so.
Once Upon a Time
The hunters catch up to Belle at the next town, realizing that she tricked them. Mulan arrives and tells them to let Belle go. When they attack her, one of them wounds her in the leg but she defeats them and orders them away. Once they run off, Belle thanks Mulan for her help and the warrior woman admits that when she served in the Emperor's army, there were men who considered women too weak to be soldiers. She tells Belle that they're going together, conceding that Belle knows how to track the beast. Belle assures Mulan that she'd be glad to help.
At the library, Belle is cleaning up the books when she finds a discarded piece of rope with a knot in it. She looks it up and realizes that it's a knot from a sailing ship, and figures that Hook's ship is nearby.
Gold finds Smee leaving town and magically chokes him. He demands the shawl back and Smee says that Hook has it. Realizing that Smee knows nothing, Gold transforms Smee into a rat and sends him scurrying off.
Belle goes to the dock but finds no sign of a pirate ship. She sees gulls lands on an invisible mast and throws out some sand to highlight the ship. She goes up the ladder and finds herself on Hook's ship, visible once she's within the cloak of invisibility. Belle goes below decks to explore the ship and hears Archie calling for help. She grabs a sword and frees him, and tells him to find Gold and bring him back. They hear footsteps overhead and Belle tells Archie to go while he can.
At the apartment, David and Mary Margaret see Henry calling someone. They pick up the line and hear him call Archie's office. David goes over and tells Henry that things will be better, but Henry isn't convinced. Emma brings Pongo in and says that she and Marco discussed it and thought that Henry should have the dog. Once they send Henry out to clean the dog, Emma apologizes for making things cramped and Mary Margaret suggests that possibly her and David should get their own place and make a fresh start of things.
Belle searches the cabin and searches for the shawl. Hook comes in with it and stops Belle before she can grab her gun back. He points it at her and considers pulling the trigger.
Once Upon a Time
Belle leads Mulan to a burning village. Mulan, weakened by her leg wound, admits that she can't kill the Yaoguai and says that Belle will have to take on the creature. Belle doesn't believe she can do it, but Mulan says that once she found something worth fighting for, she never gave up. The warrior gives Belle her sword and tells her not to be afraid.
Belle tells Hook that she's not afraid and she's not leaving without the shawl. Hook suggests that Bae doesn't want to be found and points out that Rumplestiltskin took his hand. When Belle reminds him that he stole Milah, Hook says that Milah came to him and begged him to take her away because Rumplestiltskin was a coward. The pirate admits that he didn't burn the shawl because Milah made it, and realizes that Gold left out the important fact: that Rumplestiltskin killed Milah by ripping out her heart. Belle doesn't believe him but Hook assures her that it's true and that Gold would do anything to hold onto his power. He asks Belle why she would fight for such a man, and Belle insists that Gold's heart is true. She shoves a pole into Hook, knocking him into the hold, grabs the shawl, and runs.
Hook intercepts Belle before she can get off the ship, but Gold arrives and approaches Hook. The pirate calls him a coward and asks what magic he'll hide behind, but Hook clubs him down with his cane. Belle tries to stop him, saying they have the shawl, but Hook figures that Gold will keep attacking him just to prove he's not a coward. Gold tells Belle to turn away and keeps beating Hook.
Once Upon a Time
Belle spots the flaming Yaoguai and calls to it, and then runs into the village. The beast comes after her and she lures it beneath a water tower and then cuts out the supports. The water dowses its flames and Belle cautiously approaches the injured beast. It writes out the words "save me" on the dirt, and Belle realizes that it needs help. She sprinkles it with Dreamy's fairy dust and it transforms in to a man: Phillip. He thanks Belle for breaking the curse and explains that Maleficent cursed him to keep him away from his true love, Aurora. Belle admits that he's not the first beast that she's faced and Phillip asks how he can repay her. After a moment, Belle asks him to help get Mulan to a doctor.
Hook taunts Gold, saying that he has to prove how brave he is. Belle warns Gold that Hook wants to destroy him and Hook invites Gold to rip out his heart like he did with Milah. Gold prepares to kill him, but Belle insists that there's good in Gold and asks him to prove it. After a moment, Gold tells Hook to leave and never return, and then leaves with Belle.
Mary Margaret and David go to the diner and look through house listings. She points out that David isn't happy with any of their choices, and David says that he doesn't want to die in Storybrooke. Mary Margaret reminds him that the Enchanted Forest doesn't exist the way they know it anymore, but David wants to go back and fight to restore it to its former glory. When he says that it's worth it to get back what they want, Mary Margaret wonders if they want the same thing.
Henry is at home making blueprints to redesign the apartment when Emma comes in. He points out that he's putting in an armory to defend against Regina, and Emma assures him that Regina won't hurt him ever again. Pongo barks as there's a knock at the door and they discover that Archie is at the door. He explains what happened and Emma realizes that Regina was innocent. Henry wants to tell her and Emma agrees, but realizes they'll pay a price for accusing her.
That night, Gold and Belle drive to the town border. He thanks Belle for finding the shawl and admits that he would have been lost without her. Gold wonders why she hasn't given up on him given what she knows, and Belle tells him that she learned to never give up on something worth fighting for.
Once Upon a Time
Belle takes Phillip to Mulan and explains about the curse. She tells Mulan that she has another beast to face and goes her own way. As Belle leaves, she vows to return to Rumplestiltskin... and finds Queen Regina waiting for her. The hunters betrayed Belle to Regina, and the queen has her men take Belle away. When Belle insists that she can break Rumplestiltskin's curse, Regina says that there is no chance and rides away. As she goes, Belle vows to keep fighting to save Rumplestiltskin.
Gold sprinkles the shawl with the potion, puts it on, and hesitantly steps across the border. He retains his memories and wishes that Belle could come with him. She says that it isn't necessary and promises to wait for him when he comes back. A shot rings out and Belle falls over the border with a bullet in her back. Hook assures Gold that Belle will live, but she won't remember how Gold is. The pirate invites Hook to do his worse, and Gold prepares a fireball. However, a car drives across the border, rams into Hook, and goes off the road.

What a dad
January 5, 2010 - Heather Ziegler
I had an e-mail from a friend who is the father of a young son. He described his Christmas to me and said how much he loves being a dad. One of the phrases he used describing fatherhood was "It melts me." Isn't that wonderful to hear from a father who, along with the mom, is probably overtired and struggling to make ends meet, but still see the love and benefits of the gift of a child? Sometimes I struggle with finding good in every person I meet. There is evil in the world and that is evidenced by the headlines on many days. Yet, when I hear a young father exude that much love for his child, I forget about the evil people and focus on the good guys. I'd love to hear about more uplifting thoughts this year than negative and I vow to find them and pass them on.

A good point but it's too personal really, you can't blame the downfall of the section based on someone that does or doesn't have a grudge. If they do hold a grudge, they're more likely to not even look at the thread or talk to the member, that happens everywhere. It's not a sole reason for this all.
I agree that what really put a spanner in the works was having no mod, but that's not the GameDev community's fault. Hell, mods sometimes even leave off topic threads in the wrong section here open, just to stop this whole place from dying.

Richard Joseph White, M.D., Fort Worth, TexasStrangulated hernia in itself is no curiosity, but its occurrence in a 16 day old infant is very unusual. Dr. William B. Coley, whose experience with hernia is perhaps greater than that of any other living man, tells me he has had but one comparable case, which was that of a 14 day old child, who was operated on and recovered. My patient had the onset of symptoms on the sixteenth day, was operated on on the twentieth day, and recovered surprisingly and promptly from what seemed to be a desperate situation.I saw the patient Tuesday afternoon, March 8, 1927, at the Baptist Hospital in Fort Worth. There was a history of four days' illness. The boy was comfortable and happy from birth to the sixteenth day, when he began to cry and

Two young conservatives in the liberal, politically blue Seattle region didn't party hardy during Barack Obama's Tuesday inauguration. A Young Republican man put in another 16-hour workday as a real-estate appraiser, and a member of Young Conservative Babes in King County marked the day at a gun range.
Oh, to be young, conservative and a Republican on Inaugural Day … in one of the bluest political regions in the country.
Let those liberal types party hardy, the ones who in King County gave Barack Obama more than 70 percent of the vote in the general election.
Here is how two of those young conservatives marked the day.
For Jered McMillan, 28, a real-estate appraiser and a Young Republican, Tuesday was just another workday.
- Students seeking sugar daddies for tuition, rent
- So the NRA sends a questionnaire to a Seattle state senator ...
- What's the top spelling 'mistake' in Washington state? The answer could make you sick
- 6 ways to befriend your bones and fend off osteoporosis
- Refusal in Bernie Sandersland to accept reality is really unreal
Most Read Stories
Oh, he caught a clip of the ceremony when he was appraising a home, and listened on the radio.
But it wasn't like he'd forever and ever remember Tuesday.
"I wasn't all giddy and waiting for the magical day to come," said McMillan. "I mean, Barack Obama is a great speaker. He didn't really say anything bad. But, like they say, an empty drum makes the most noise."
McMillan lives in Lake Stevens in Snohomish County, where he grew up.
Even though the county went 59 percent for Obama, its rural feel is a long way from those hipster cafes and bars on Seattle's Capitol Hill.
Still, even in Lake Stevens, said McMillan, if there are Young Republicans in his neck of the woods, "they're hiding under rocks or in huddled corners."
To find his own kind, McMillan ended up going to meetup.com, and typing in "Young Republicans."
"A lot of Republicans in Seattle generally are transplanted from the East, and are looking for people who share their values," he said, explaining that those values would be: "Family, pro-life, God, guns and babies."
He said the Young Republicans ages 21 to 40 set up socials at Seattle bars, including those in Belltown, Fremont and Capitol Hill.
Sure, those neighborhoods are Obama bastions.
But, said McMillan, you have to be realistic.
"That's where all the best bars are," he said.
On Tuesday, Lamb Henry, 30, a member of Young Conservative Babes in King County, didn't even watch the inauguration on TV.
Young Conservative Babes has 98 members, and Henry is one of the organizers.
"Everybody who's on our board has a sense of humor," she said about the group's name. "We're a group of conservative girls, doing volunteer work and getting together socially."
She and her husband decided to end TV watching four years ago because their three children, ages 3, 4 and 6, might have nightmares.
One of the children, she said, was concerned about "what would happen if somebody died," after watching a car-insurance commercial.
So the family gets its news online and from talk radio, mostly from "The Truth 770 AM," which features conservatives such as Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck.
As for feeling the excitement described in the crowds at the inauguration, Henry said, "I didn't feel anything more than for any other presidents."
She was proud that the transition went so smoothly, and that it's a day to celebrate.
But …
"I know many young people are excited about Obama. My concern is that it's more stardom," Henry said. "If the youth are so excited, why can't they name anything that Obama has done or is going to do?"
The Henry family lives in the small town of Pacific in South King County. They came to the area from San Antonio four years ago, drawn by the cooler climate.
Right away, Henry noticed major cultural differences.
"Texas is kind of a Bible Belt, and a common thing is that you never schedule anything on Sunday or Wednesday night, because everyone is at church," she said. "I have a 'mommy group' here, and a lot of times, they schedule stuff for Sunday morning."
On Tuesday night, while liberal types might have been partying, Henry and 10 members of Young Conservative Babes went to Wade's Eastside Guns in Bellevue to do some shooting.
It was their way of marking Inauguration Day, and to "celebrate the Second Amendment."
Available for rent were a choice of numerous calibers, ranging from a .22 Ruger to a .500 Smith & Wesson.
"We had a great time," Henry said.

Utherverse Awarded Patent That Could Change Your (Virtual) World
Utherverse's Gary and Brian Shuster were awarded their 80th patent this week. Patent #8,276,017, or "Multi-Instance, Multi-User Animation Platforms," details a a method for the creation of "parallel dimensions so as to prevent over-population of any one of the parallel dimensions" in a virtual-reality universe.
This patent aims to solve over-population problems of virtual worlds. It would allow massively multiplayer environments to host thousands or even millions of users in the same virtual area, or to attend the same virtual event.
"Prior generations of online games and virtual worlds have been forced to limit the number of players in an area to only a few dozen at most," said Brian, CEO of Utherverse, a Vancouver-based virtual-world software development company. "This technology removes these population limits and allows Utherverse to have concerts and conventions that hundreds of thousands of users can enjoy together and simultaneously."
Games like World of Warcraft and Second Life can have millions of players at one time—but they are forced to limit the number of players in any given area to just a handful. Shuster believes these limitations will soon be a thing of the past.
"Imagine if websites were limited to displaying their content to only 50 people at a time. There would be no Facebook, no Google, no YouTube," Shuster said, comparing the internet and to virtual worlds. "We now have technology that will allow virtual worlds to host millions of users simultaneously. This will be explosive for the success of the Virtual World Web, and it will transform the internet from a flat web experience to a 3D immersive environment within the next few years."
The Shuster's have also recently been issued patents #8,049,756 "Time-dependent client inactivity indicia in a multi-user animation environment", #8,259,117 "Avatar eye control in a multi-user animation environment" and #8,167,724 "Guest management in an online multi-player virtual reality game."
The Canadian company was founded in 2002.

Judy Lloyd�s article in the SJ �No plant is completely deer proof in River Bend,� points out that a huge problem exist in New Bern also. A wildlife biologist told me that there are more deer in Eastern North Carolina now than was 300 years ago. The clearing of the forest and open fields has cause the deer population to increase. Those of us who like a beautiful yard with a variety of plants, flowers, including roses find it is impossible to enjoy because of marauding deer. A 11 foot fence does keep them out of 1/4 acre garden. Various times during the day and at night I see up to five deer wandering around nibbling my plants and defecating in my yard. It would also help if Bambi lovers would restrain from feeding the deer here in town. This overpopulation problem could be solved by the City Board. They could contact the North Carolina Wildlife Division and enact an ordinance allowing bow hunting within the city limits. In the past, the city eliminated the down town pigeon problem as Fairfield Harbor did in eliminating their overpopulation of geese. Other towns in N.C. have tackled this problem and removed legally the over population of deer. In reviewing city ordinance Sec.6-30 Animals, there is wording referring to animals constituting a public nuisance.

an IDF patrol jeep near the Gaza border.
Parsi has regained consciousness and is currently breathing on his own. However, he remains hospitalized at the intensive care unit of the Soroka University Medical Center
in Beersheba, and his doctors say he may never see again.
Related Stories-
"The ophthalmologists said it would be a miracle if he regains his sight," Moral, Parsi's sister, told Ynet. "They say the best case scenario is that he will be able to recognize shapes, but I am optimistic he will see again. I am certain of it."

Earlier Tuesday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited
the south and met with heads of local municipalities.
"These days we have one major mission, and that is to protect the residents of the south," he said. "Anyone who thinks he can disrupt the daily routine of the south without paying a heavy price, he is mistaken. My role as prime minister is to find the correct timing to respond."
Mati Savir, a Ynet and Yedioth reporter, contributed to the report

I have a custom 1985 Rob Roberson frame with an almost complete C-Record group. Hasn't been ridden in 20 years and it is time to resurrect it. Rob was a frame builder in San Diego in the mid-80's. He now works for Joe Bell, who also did the original "rad red" paint job. Plan is to strip it and have Joe/Rob repaint it, source missing parts and build it back up to ridable, or for hanging in my office :-).
Any good bay area vintage bike mechanics anyone can reco? Any other resources that can help?

If you are breastfeeding try cutting out milk products from your diet. I would try soy formula if you are FF. MAke sure you are using Free and Clear products and NO fabric softner. Also, make sure you bathe your LO as little as possible and use a really good moisturizer like Cytaphyl. GL!posted 11/03/2012 by KitSharri

When the District 88 School Board talked Thursday about the "bleeding" in the school district's finances over the past few years, here's what they meant. Last year, the district cut the budget by $1.3 million, after a failed referendum. The year before, they cut it by $895,000 The year before that they cut it by $700,000. Each year the amount is going up.
As a result, there will be 100 sections in New Ulm High School (grades 7-12) with 30 or more students. In the elementary schools, three grades will have an average class size of 29 to 30 students. Program offerings have been cut, material purchases have been cut, fees for participation have been raised, higher paid teachers have been given early retirement incentives, and still the budget outlook is bleak. More cuts will be made next year.
So the board is asking the district's voters for another tax levy referendum, a $575 per pupil unit question that will reduce the amount of cuts that will be needed next year. With the passage of the referendum, the district would be able to hold steady at the miserable level it is at this year.
What the district needs is a transfusion, that is, it needs enough money to start bringing down class sizes and restoring programs for students. What it is asking for is a bandage, a tourniquet, something to keep things from getting any worse than they are.
Just remember, the school district is a big part of New Ulm. It is one of the legs that allows New Ulm to stand tall and proud. Allowing it to wither away will only make all of us weaker.


text: By Angel AndersonPerkins County Sheriff's Office Sexual violence is a wide spread issue that impacts everyone. The children and teens of today are our hope for tomorrow. It is important for us as parents, caring adults and communities to help set young people on the path for a healthy future and support them as they work to create positive change. April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, and this year's campaign is focused on youth. One in six boys and one in four girls will experience a sexual assault before the age 18. (Dube et al.,2005) One in five woman and one in 71 men will be raped at some point in their lives (Black et al., 2011) Rape is far more extensive than reported in official statistics, and the majority of rapists are never apprehended (Carr & VanDeusen, 2004). Parents and caregivers are uniquely positioned to assist children and teens experiencing sexual violence, as they often see the warning signs- sudden changes in behavior or mood, lower grades, social withdrawal-before others. Children and teens may turn to you to discuss what is happening. All adults are responsible for keeping children safe and protect them from harm. Survivors of sexual violence have experienced trauma, and each person reacts differently to trauma. Some disclose immediately, but many never talk about what happened to them, or wait years to talk about it. When someone discloses sexual abuse, appreciate their resilience, strength, and bravery. Be mindful of your own response-Create a safe space for them to talk and share, Listen and allow them to share the amount of information they are comfortable sharing, Believe them, and Be open and honest about your responsibilities.

Question of the Day: Do you Suffer From Mod Mania?
I'm not a big on modifying guns. Sure, Eddie modded my Glock 30SF's go pedal with a 3.5 lbs. GHOST Rocket Trigger Control Connector. And yes, my SP101 .22LR now has a Hogue grip and a reduced trigger pull. And I've talked to ace gunsmith Dave Santurri about adding mag capacity to my Benelli M2. And I've got a major hard-on for the Volquartsen Scorpion, which is about as modded a Ruger MkIII as [lots of] money can buy. But while I'm showing sign of impending mod mania, most of my guns are as-new. For now. Are you immune to the urge to tinker with factory specs or do you view a new gun as a starting point for customization?17

Become the red Spartan from Halo with this Mark VI Halo armor! This Spartan costume includes jumpsuit with armor, and a two-piece mask. The base black jumpsuit is made of polyester and features screen-printed details on the stomach, arms, and legs which makes it look like it is pieced together. The jumpsuit opens in the back and clasps at the neck with Velcro. The armor is made of poly-foam, and is molded to look like the real thing, and also includes paint shading for a weathered look. The armor is attached to the jumpsuit at the chest, forearms, belt, and shins. The two-piece helmet is made of plastic, and comes together with Velcro. A strip of gold on the outside (see-through on the inside) material makes it easy to see. There are also foam blocks inside to make it more comfortable for your head. When you go in this red Spartan armor for men, you'll feel like you just jumped into the Halo universe!

The Walking Dead
The Walking Dead Season 4 Analysis of Post-Prison Sneak Peek: 5 Questions
AMC released a great 4-minute sneak peek last week, with the cast and producers previewing the Episode 9/February 9 return of The Walking Dead Season 4. We spent so much time focusing on what they said — which was very important and telling — that we've had to go back several times to review what they showed. The new footage is equally important and telling, for what it shows and perhaps even more for what it doesn't show. On that note, here are five points to ponder.
1. How Many Episodes Does This Cover?
It's possible the video is only for the first few episodes of the second half — the Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln), Carl Grimes (Chandler Riggs) and Michonne (Danai Gurira) footage may be all from Episode 9 itself, and we're expecting Episode 10 to cover four different groups. What if it's Beth/Daryl, Tyreese and the kids, Maggie/Bob/Sasha and Glenn with the bus? It's possible this footage doesn't even go beyond Episode 11. That could be wrong, but this feels like a short-term preview.
2. Who Is Missing?
The people not shown are most intriguing to us. There's no shot of Carol Peletier (Melissa McBride), which is not that surprising, since they seem to want to retain mystery around her big return. (A newer promo may show her hand on a gun…) But there are also no shots of Sasha (Sonequa Martin-Green) or Bob Stookey (Larry Gilliard Jr.), who should be with Maggie Greene (Lauren Cohan). Maggie is shown in the promo, channeling her grief into anger, but we've only seen one brief glimpse of Bob and Sasha so far, in the first promo. Are they OK?
There are also no new scenes of Glenn Rhee (Steven Yeun) here — just Steven talking about him as we re-see him on the bus on Episode 8. Glenn has been featured in other promos, though, so he does get off the bus at some point, although he seems to be bloody and in bad shape. We don't see anyone from The Governor's old group, including Tara and Lilly; we're expecting to at least see Tara pretty soon. We also don't see baby Judith; someone has to have her (Tyreese?), but they're not going to spare us the suspense this easily.
There's also no hint to the new trio coming soon, perhaps as early as Episode 10: Sgt. Abraham Ford (Michael Cudlitz), Rosita Espinosa (Christian Serratos), and Dr. Eugene Porter (Josh McDermitt). There's no shot of this new guy Gareth (Andrew J. West), either, who is supposed to be an important character, and no suggestion that we'll see Morgan Jones (Lennie James) again. It's a very tight focus on just a few characters.
3. Will Some Groups Run Into Each Other or Just Miss Each Other?
We know Team Prison isn't going to reunite quickly, or maybe at all, but it looks like certain places will be revisited by multiple groups. Rick and Carl are probably the first to visit the place that looks like a BBQ shack restaurant/bar — with all the wood paneling — and we'll probably see that in Episode 9 itself. We may also see Michonne coming across the same place, shortly after them. Daryl is also seen in a building, but it doesn't look like the same restaurant.
However, Daryl is shown standing on train tracks, and the sneak peek also shows Rick and Carl crossing train tracks. Another promo suggests Beth is also with Daryl when he's at the tracks (when she breaks down to cry). At another point, we also see Tyreese (Chad Coleman), Lizzie (Brighton Sharbino) and Mika Samuels (Kyla Kenedy) walking the same tracks. We're expecting Tyreese and the kids to eventually run into Carol, maybe in the woods or on the same train tracks. The official poster for the second half shows Rick and Carl on train tracks with the "Don't Look Back" theme. We'll have to see if those tracks lead any of the group to find each other.
4. What's With the "Rich Bitch"?
Daryl has a couple of interesting scenes in the sneak peek, including holding a snake, sitting in the dark, and wandering through a building/home with a dead lady hanging on the wall. She has the label "rich bitch" around her neck, which feels reminiscent of those people who were labeled "liar" and "murderer" in the earlier Governor episodes. Coincidence?
This may tell us something: After Episode 8, The Hollywood Reporter asked showrunner Scott Gimple, "We saw a mysterious cabin and dead military members described as rapists and murderers. That's a big piece to Abraham's story. Will that come back into play?" Scott answered, "That cabin in and of itself will not be seen again. That's part of the Governor's story, and that story is over." So the cabin is gone, but not necessarily the end of the story of the signs.
5. Are the Inexperienced Fighters Going to Make It?
Daryl and Michonne are always going to kick butt, that's understood. But the sneak peek hints to major action from some unexpected players. For instance, we see wide-eyed young Mika fire a gun, Beth get in some walker kills, Carl take charge over his injured dad, and pissed-off Maggie fight zombies. Are they all up to the challenge? Will some of them prove to be better at this than expected? We're not used to seeing any of them take charge for long, without backup. They are now out in the wide world, filled with walkers and scary humans. Who isn't going to make it?
Watch the sneak peek below. What stands out to you?
The Walking Dead Season 4 returns with Episode 9 on Sunday, February 9 at 9 p.m. ET on AMC.

A dedicated band of phone lovers and haters work to make Finland's annual Mobile Phone Throwing World Championships a must-see event
The most well-known phone- throwing event has been the one involving actor Russell Crowe, who heaved a desk set at a New York hotel clerk in June.
But that could be changing, albeit as slowly as a Scandinavian glacier, as a dedicated band of phone lovers and haters work to make Finland's annual Mobile Phone Throwing World Championships a must-see event.
This year's contest, in late August, drew a record attendance of about 3,000 spectators, mainly Finns, and about 90 contestants, largely from Europe but with a few intrepid Australians and Canadians thrown in. The sport hasn't caught on yet in the U.S., not even in Boston, where Alexander Graham Bell completed the first phone call.
Sponsorships have been hard to come by, but at least costs are low. The essentials are a basket of discarded and broken cell phones, an open space (in Finland, an athletic field, but the Dutch championships were at a beach), chairs for the three judges, measuring tape, and, of course, a Web site. Backers have included one of Finland's leading beer makers and a licorice company.
Cell phone makers, meanwhile, have steered clear. Even giant Nokia, which is based in Finland, has not yet seized on the event. Nor would the company comment for this story.
Germany's Siemens, while acknowledging the annual throwing event makes for a "light-hearted story," concentrates "on very few sponsoring activities leveraging our brand value," a spokeswoman says.
The fact that this year's men's champ, Mikko Lampi, a 23-year-old window maker from Vilppula, Finland, hurled a Siemens cell phone a record 104 yards apparently doesn't qualify as brand-value leverage. But Siemens did express satisfaction at the superior aerodynamics of its product line. "We are happy to observe that even after the end of [the phone's] life, our products still excel through quality," the spokeswoman says.
Birth of a quirk
The event was launched six years ago by Christine Lund, who works at Fennolingua, a translation agency in Savonlinna, about 200 miles northeast of Helsinki. She got the idea when she dropped her own mobile phone into a lake. Her insurance company told her there were thousands of mobile phones in Finnish lakes, which are icebound much of the year.
She also drew inspiration from the fact that Finns are among the most-prolific mobile phone users on the planet, and are continually upgrading to spiffier handsets, leaving behind a growing pile of old ones.
In any case, Lund's company was launching a new translation service, and she hit on the idea of phone throwing championships as a way to draw attention to it, and to encourage recycling of old phones.
People just like throwing them, she says, as a way of working out the ambivalence the devices introduce to modern life.
"If you want to reach your loved one, he never replies," she says. "Or you're always waiting for that important call. Or the batteries run low. It's a tool, but one we feel frustrated by."
The unfurling hurl
The thrill of the hurl seems to be spreading. This year, Germany, Switzerland, The Netherlands and the U.K. all held national mobile phone throwing championships. Winner of the women's distance throw in the British games was Jan Singleton, a public relations manager with GBO Bell Pottinger, in London. 8thDayUK, which organizes leisure and entertainment activities, combined the event with an invitation to recycle old mobile phones.
Singleton came to watch at Richmond Park Golf Course in London, and decided to join in. "Mobile phones can cause such stress in today's society, so chucking one down a field is quite therapeutic," she says. "The worst is when the battery runs low: It never gives you any warning. It just bleeps madly and then cuts you off."
Our collection of stories that go beyond the speeds and feeds of the network and IT industries.
She had her revenge.
An enthusiast of badminton, tennis, running, cycling, hiking and skiing, Singleton used for her first two throws a style based on an overhead badminton clear, which is an over arm shot from one end of the badminton court to the other. She was seriously disappointed in the results. "Then I cottoned on to the fact that putting a bit of a spin on it, like the boys were doing, made it go a lot further," she says. On her third and final throw, the Englishwoman added some body English and the phone sailed for 127 feet, setting what was then a new women's world record.
Singleton couldn't attend the World Championships, and her record fell to Finland's Marke Krok, who chucked her phone 136 feet to win the women's division and set a new world record.
But distance throwing is only half of this event, in a season of odd events, which includes swamp soccer, endurance sauna sitting, wife-carrying (which reportedly attracted former NBA star Dennis Rodman this year), and air guitar contests. Summer, so fleeting this far north, seems to make the Finns a bit giddy.
The other half of the phone throwing championship puts giddiness at center stage. This is the "freestyle" event, where judges rate contestants, both individuals and teams, on choreography, style and originality. The top score in the individual class went to Sten Kiezenbrink, of Haaksbergen, The Netherlands, a manager at The Phone House, an arm of one of Europe's biggest mobile phone retailers.
He dressed up as his company's widely known mascot, Mowbli, in an inflatable mobile phone suit with arms and legs. He put a premium on spontaneity.
"I didn't practice at all," he says. "I took a little dance and then threw myself across the line to the ground."
Even so, he barely edged out, by a single point, 5-year-old Paavo Kolari, of Finland, who dressed up as a pirate, complete with eye patch.
It was the German freestyle team, Team Bielefeld/mobile fun, that lifted this year's championship into surreality. The members wore hats that were white and gold replicas of the papal miter - in recognition of Pope Benedict XVI, the first German pope - and towels, in recognition of Finland's other national pastime, the sauna. Phone throwing as group performance art won them 77 points, blowing past their nearest rivals, the Austrians, who collected just 16.

I've been using policyd with zimbra for a few years, I just upgraded to Zimbra 7.1.4 from the 5.x.x series and used the same instance, didn't install the one that came with Zimbra, just made sure the new GUI entry for policyd was pointed at the right location.
Zimbra needs to integrate the controls for policyD into the GUI, maybe even down to the COS level type of settings. I think solutions like PolicyD should be really basic functionality in any mail system these days.
I installed Zimbra 7.1.4, and enabled the user policyd via below mentioned link.

Here are excerpts from recent editorials in Arkansas newspapers:
Texarkana Gazette, March 18, 2014
Restrictive law doesn't make it past federal judge
Last year, Arkansas' Republican-controlled Legislature passed one of the most restrictive abortion laws in the nation.
The measure called the Arkansas Human Heartbeat Protection Act would ban most abortions after 12 weeks of pregnancy.
Gov. Mike Beebe, a Democrat, vetoed the bill. But the Legislature voted to override that veto.
It was a bad move, and we said so at the time. Such a ban could never survive court scrutiny.
And it didn't.
Two Little Rock physicians, backed by the American Civil Liberties Union and the center for Reproductive Rights, challenged the law.
On Friday, U.S. District Judge Susan Webber Wright struck down the law as unconstitutional.
In her ruling, she wrote the ban "impermissibly infringes a woman's Fourteenth Amendment right to elect to terminate a pregnancy before viability."
Wright also noted the U.S. Supreme Court has already ruled that a state cannot intervene before viability save for consideration of mother's health. The court originally held viability as falling outside the first trimester, though now premature infants as young as 21 weeks, 6 days have survived.
Wright let stand the "informed consent" provision of the law requiring women who seek an abortion to have an ultrasound and be informed if a fetal heartbeat is present.
Some supporters of the law want Attorney General Dustin McDaniel to press on and appeal Wright's ruling.
McDaniel, a Democrat, said last week his office has made no decision on whether to do so.
We are pro-life, determinedly so, but realistically there isn't any reason to go on with this charade. There is no way the court will allow simple detection of a fetal heartbeat to stand as a standard of viability.
Arkansas lawmakers should look to neighboring Texas, where a new law, passed last year after a well-publicized filibuster by Fort Worth Democrat Wendy Davis, requiring abortions to be performed in a surgical facility and requiring doctors who perform the procedure have hospital admitting privileges within 30 miles has so far caused nearly half the abortion clinics in the state to close.
The law is being challenged in court, but courts all the way up to the nation's highest have allowed its enforcement while the case winds its way through the legal system.
Arbitrary abortion bans play well to the voters back home. But they don't work. And they aren't going to start working now.
Lawmakers need to stop thinking about the political grandstanding and start thinking about the unborn lives they so loudly and so frequently claim to care about.
Harrison Daily Times, March 13, 2014
Hillbilly image of Arkansas flavors reality series
H.L. Mencken would have loved the Discovery Channel's newest reality show.
The noted Baltimore newspaperman on more than one occasion ridiculed Arkansas in his columns, referring to our beloved home state as "the miasmatic jungles of Arkansas" and stating that "Arkansas is perhaps the most shiftless and backward state in the whole galaxy."
Discovery's latest offering to the already overcrowded airwaves would no doubt get a big thumbs up from the Sage of Baltimore.
"Clash of the Ozarks" perpetuates the image of Arkansas as a stronghold of unsophisticated, congenitally violent, probably inbred hillbillies and rednecks.
Set in Hardy, described as a "lawless place," the series centers on two feuding clans, the Russells and the Evanses, headed respectively by Crowbar Russell and Kerry Wayne (or Currawane as its pronounced locally) Evans.
Hardy's previous claim to fame was being the home to Grand Ol' Opry stars Doyle and Teddy Wilburn. Now it's the home of Jimmy Haney.
Jimmy who, you ask?
Haney is probably the most colorful of the colorful. An adult Huck Finn figure, Haney lives in the woods; wears a floppy hat adorned with a feather, overalls fastened by only one strap with no shirt underneath and no shoes (a sure sign of Arkansas nativity); and is mistrustful of outsiders.
"Flatlanders! They ain't supposed to be here!"
The series features the usual moonshinin', driving around in pickup trucks and folksy observations.
In recent years, Arkansas has acquired a first-rate art museum in Bentonville. We have excellent colleges and universities. The Arkansas Symphony Orchestra is top-notch, and just recently, we read that actor Judge Reinhold liked Little Rock so much that he and his wife moved there.
Despite all the cultural advancements made within our state, much of the rest of the country will still tune in to "Clash of the Ozarks" and believe it to be a true picture of Arkansas.
The show will keep alive the image of, as Mencken put it, Arkansas as "the apex of moronia."

Absentee ballot confusion grows
The problematic intersection between the state's new voter ID law and absentee ballots apparently has not been cleared since Attorney General Dustin McDaniel's Feb. 10 opinion on the subject.
The new law holds that those who vote in person should show government-approved identification when they vote. If they arrive at the poll without the necessary ID, they are allowed to cast provisional ballots. If they produce ID by the Monday after the election, their ballot is "cured" and counted.
Voters who mail in absentee ballots also are supposed to provide ID by enclosing a photocopy of their driver's license or other acceptable identification.
However, the law passed in 2013 does not explicitly state that absentee voters whose ballots are not accompanied by proof of identification are entitled to the same cure period as people who show up at the polls without photo ID.
Knowing there was a March 11 millage election for Pulaski Technical College on the horizon, the county Election Commission requested an opinion by the attorney general before the election. Mr. McDaniel opined that the law afforded absentee voters no cure period.
Then on Feb. 28, the state Board of Election Commissioners adopted an emergency rule stating that county election officials should treat absentee ballots without ID as provisional and give voters until the Monday after the election to provide identification, the same policy in place for in-person voters.
The three-person Pulaski County voted 2 to 1 not to follow the emergency rule. Pulaski County Election Commission Chairman Leonard Boyle Sr. said the board was obliged to follow the law.
"The state Board of Election Commissioners I really don't feel like is the body to change the law. They can only make rules or promulgate rules according to what's in the law," Mr. Boyle said.
So now the Pulaski County Election Commission and Pulaski County Clerk Larry Crane have filed a lawsuit challenging the state board's policy.
State board member Stuart Soffer wants the state Board of Election Commissioners to file a complaint against Mr. Boyle and Chris Burks, the other member of the Pulaski County Election Commission to vote against following the state board's rule.
Soffer said Thursday that the commission was required to follow the rule.
"The A.G.'s opinion was an opinion. The emergency rule has the force of law," he said.
May 20, the date of Arkansas' primary elections and nonpartisan judicial election, is a short two months away. Election commissions across the state are watching the Pulaski County wrangling with attention and likely no small trepidation.
Does the attorney general's opinion trump the state Board of Election Commissioners' rule?
More importantly, how can there be consistency statewide when Pulaski County commissioners are split?
Two months is not a lot of time to resolve this issue, and it matters a great deal. We have seen too many elections decided on a single vote not to think it matters.
In the meantime, if you plan to vote by absentee ballot, make sure you know the law on providing identification. You don't want your ballot to be at the center of the count-or-don't-count quarrel. Make sure your vote counts

The three little words turned into three little dots. Ellipses, brought to us by iPhones. There was a time when we didn't feel like immediacy was required to live as normal human beings. That time has long gone. We have such a desire to be tuned in at every turn, that just seeing those dots, ergo knowing someone is replying, sends our brains into overdrive.
As long as I've got a connection with a person, they make me laugh and well, you know, I fancy them, then it's all go. I do, however, have one absolute deal-breaker - something which has the potential to turn me off a man like wildfire I can't date a guy with bad grammar and I could never, ever, date someone who says lol.

New Community Mission Manager In Queens Aims to Give Back
Queens, NY - When Phil Stiller proposed to his girlfriend Cathy in 2008, she was elated. The two had met at day camp when they were only 13, although didn't start dating until they were older. "The proposal was perfect," she said. "Phil and I love photographs, and he made a video collage of all of the photos we took over the years we were dating. We started planning our wedding and looking ahead."
But that picture-perfect wedding story was interrupted when they faced "sickness and health" three weeks before they tied the official knot. Cathy was diagnosed with breast cancer.
She found a lump while lying in bed one night, but cancer never crossed her mind. "I was scared, I knew it wasn't right, there should not have been a marble-sized lump in my breast, I knew I needed to see a doctor, but at 27 years old I thought I was too young for cancer," she said.
The doctor she saw in November thought it was a benign lump and told her not to worry. But she worried. The doctor she saw in December said it was probably just a cyst and to go home. She went home. But due to her gut instinct, the fact that the lump didn't go away, and her mom's urging, she finally went to see another surgeon on May 10.
Assuming he would say the same thing as the other doctors, she went to the appointment alone. She was not prepared for the words, 'Cathy, I'm so sorry, but you have breast cancer.' She was alone, scared, and getting married in three weeks.
She called her mom, sister, and then Phil who came to the hospital to hear the news. "Because I was alone for a while I was able to deal with my own feelings and emotions, not theirs. And when they arrived I was all cried out and ready to fight."
And fight she did. As any bride knows, the last three weeks before a wedding are the busiest. The words 'chemotherapy, mastectomy, and fertility', were intermingled in every conversation with the words 'flowers, seating, and reception.' Cathy went from a morning at the hospital that entailed a bone scan, MRI, PET scan, and CAT scan, and then drove to her dress fitting. She spoke to her florist from the oncologist's office, and went directly from the hospital for blood work to her rehearsal dinner.
Petrified for the future, Cathy kept her eye on one thing – her wedding day. Only telling a few close friends about her diagnosis, Cathy wanted their guests to enjoy the wedding, not have what she called a 'pity party' for her. "I didn't want the day I'd dreamed about since I was a little girl to be a day surrounded by cancer, although 'in sickness and in health' took on a whole new meaning that day."
After their wedding Cathy and Phil spent a few days in Aruba, instead of their planned honeymoon in Greece, and came home in fighting mode. "I put on my Fight Like a Girl bracelet and shirt and my brave face, and walked into my double mastectomy just 10 days after my wedding."
With her family and Phil by her side–documenting every moment with his camera–Cathy walked into her first chemotherapy treatment on July 29 at Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in Manhattan. That day, she remembers, was especially hard. "I no longer had my wedding to distract me. I looked around the waiting room and was the youngest there by 40 or 50 years. When they put the needle in my arm I broke down. This is when I realized I had cancer. This is when I realized nothing was a given, I had to fight with every ounce of my being. In that chair I became a cancer patient, the needle in my arm was everything I imagined cancer to be."
She lost her hair, but not her zest for life. Throughout her 98 days of chemotherapy treatments Cathy still worked, ran, and went out with friends. But on November 4, as she walked out of her last treatment with tears streaming down her face, she was overwhelmed with emotion. "That day was the happiest day of my life, she said. More than my wedding, this was my rebirth, my second chance."
"I know how lucky I am to be here, every day is a gift," she said. "Cancer made me better, stronger, and the cancer challenge has defined me in a positive way."
Cathy has taken her experience and used it to help others facing cancer. With a master's degree in health education, Cathy left her previous job in health education and came to work for the American Cancer Society as the Community Mission Manager in Queens, NY. "I have to give back, to help others faced with cancer," she said. "If I can get one person to a mammogram, or a screening exam, and have their cancer caught early, I've done my job. Health education is invaluable, especially in communities like Queens where screening rates are low, and many people are getting screened at late stages when cancer is harder to treat."
Cathy's first day with the American Cancer Society was her 28th birthday – as a cancer survivor she is honored to work for the Official Sponsor of Birthdays. "Every celebration is sweeter, every holiday is more special, every birthday is a reason to celebrate," she now believes.

It is an otherwise mundane word throughout the year; yet, at the targeted date inventory becomes mind-boggling. Management and staff have the daunting task of itemizing everything in their factory or store. As a follower of Jesus involved in a writing ministry, I need to take daily inventory of words I speak and write.
"Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O LORD, my strength and my Redeemer (Psalms 19:14 NKJ)."
Each of us is apt to speak far more than we listen. When speaking, we have many words from which to choose. I know the Holy Spirit is ready, willing and able to guide us through an inventory of encouraging and edifying words. I want to be discerning and wise, pulling hurtful words from off the shelves, removing them from my inventory.

In Australia, we are lucky enough to be surrounded by some of beautiful and historic lighthouses – you don't have to look far along the coastline to find many nearby to you. When next holidaying near the beach, why not take the chance to visit one of the most iconic lighthouses in Australia and become part of our maritime story?
Cape Byron Lighthouse – New South Wales
Holding the titles of being the most easterly and most powerful lighthouse in Australia, the Cape Byron Lightstation can be found only 3km drive from Byron Bay. Built in 1901, this Australian lighstation stands at 18 metres tall and 118 metres above sea level.
Cape Don Lighthouse – Northern Territory
Located on the Cobourg Peninsula, the Cape Don Lightstation was the fruit of 2 years hard work, finally opening in 1917 only to be hit by an earthquake. After being built to light one of the passages to Darwin, this lighthouse in Australia is a whopping 36 metres tall and sits at 50 metres above sea level.
Cape Otway Lighthouse – Victoria
The oldest operational lightstation on the mainland with unbroken service (at least, until it was decommissioned in 1994), the Cape Otway Lightstation lights the gap between King Island and Cape Otway – known as 'the eye of the needle'. Built in 1848, this lighthouse in Australia stands at 20 metres high and 91 metres above sea level.
Cape Capricorn Lighthouse – Queensland
The third of its kind to be built on the site, the Cape Capricorn Lightstation proceeds ones built in 1875 and 1936. It is located on Curtis Island, 24km north of Gladstone, a town off the central coast. Built in 1964, this lighthouse in Australia stands at 7 metres high and an impressive 94 metres above sea level, and is now only accessible by boat or plane.
Fortunately, most Australian lighthouses have had their care turned over to heritage and government groups, allowing tourists the world over to view them in all their former glory.
