I am trying to create a Tab Control in WPF that has the tabs arranged down the right side of the control, with the text rotated 90 degrees The look is similar to those plastic tabs you can buy and use in a notebook. I have tried changing the TabStripPlacement to Right, but it just stacks the tabs up on the top right side of the control - not at all what I had in mind.
The effect I believe you are seeking is achieved by providing a HeaderTemplate for the TabItem's in you Tab collection.
Hope this helps!

If you are curious about the history of Malaysian architecture or in other words, if you want to see the traditional style of housing of all the 13 states of Malaysia, their people and their ways of life, then this is a "never-miss" destination for you!
The Taman Mini Malaysia cultural park, located a few kilometers outside of Melaka, near the town of Ayer Keroh, is built on a singular concept of portraying the essential culture of Malaysia through its architecture and the rooted way of life of its people. Each of the homes represents the architectural style of the 13 states in Malaysia and is decorated with various items, arts and crafts which portray the indigenous culture of each state.
Basically, this is a rare opportunity to see the whole Malaysian architecture and heritage in a short all-encompassing way. And of course, a visit to the park will lend you a break from the constantly buzzing life of urban Melaka!
Tips for Travelers
Taman Mini Malaysia is a bit far from Melaka. To visit this place you need a full day,or half day, depending on the time that you want to spend in the park. Take only your essential belongings with you during your visit to Taman Mini Malaysia. There is also a mini ASEAN park nearby, that sports the culture of the whole Southeast Asia, the architecture, and lifestyle of the peoples of the whole region. You can also go and have a look there.
Since the park is situated outside of Melaka you can also visit the park when you decide to leave or enter the city; this will save your transportation costs and give you a good resting hiatus from the urban hustle.
How do visitors get to Taman Mini Malaysia?
Get past the Ayer Keroh junction from the North-South Expressway and go straight. After a few moments you'll see the Butterfly Park on your left. To get to the park, you will have to take the second main intersection on your left from the Ayer Keroh main road.
Approximate Touring Time
The approximate touring time for Taman Mini Malaysia is about half day.
Visiting Hours
The visiting hours for Taman Mini Malaysia are from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm every day.
Admission Charges
The admission charges for Taman Mini Malaysia are:
- RM 4 for Adults
- RM 2 for Children

Re: September 2012
posted at 9/4/2012 8:11 AM EDTThanks, Hats. I usually finger through the channels, but now I know last night I wouldn't have done that, "Real Housewives of NYC" was on, and I like to see the mayhem and unbelievable actions of those women. - Know that wouldn't be your cup of tea. - Had I known your program was on, I would have opted to watch that tho.
Just had a hermit and remember that of course, GS and GDs love the hermits - after all they taste like gingerbread men! Will do a couple of pkgs of 6 each and drop them off at my son's before he goes to work this afternoon.
Re: September 2012
posted at 9/4/2012 8:30 AM EDTGood morning,
Just a short 'hello' before I head out. Have CPA coming to the office at 9:30, so I must be there. Indeed strange to wake up to fall like weather after such a nice Labor Day weekend. Getting soaked today and tomorrow, but the rest of the week should be fine.
DH asked for an omelet this morning, so he could have Pepper Relish on it (doesn't go well with cereal, I believe). And last night he had it with the pork tenderloin, I made. The way he goes, we will run out soon.
Hope everyone check in today, so we can hear of the marvelous Labor Day weekend they had.
And Amber - it has been a long time. Sending positive thoughts her way.
Now I have to find my umbrealla and head out. Have a good day - Pingo
Re: September 2012
posted at 9/4/2012 8:41 AM EDTGlad to hear the relish made a hit with DH, Pingo, but I'm sure the credit goes to however you reconstituted it for the amount suitable for the two of you. I'll take credit for posting the original recipe and putting the idea out there - how's that?
Re: September 2012
posted at 9/4/2012 8:44 AM EDTGood morning everyone. What a fast weekend. DS is sleeping well in his bed. He loves it. His birthday party went great and the kids loved the water balloons. DS was thrilled that I made cookies and the kids loved those as well. Sunday I had to get some last minute items for school and make some exchanges for some clothes he recieved from his nana (my mom). Dropped him off today and he has a half day, so I'll be leaving to get him, will drop him off at his afterschool then come back to work.
Sounds like everyone had a lovely weekend. tt, I'll be over to raid your freezer of the goodies in there.
Amber, hope you are doing well.
Re: September 2012
posted at 9/4/2012 8:54 AM EDTGlad party was a hit, Winter, and the your son's enjoying the freedom of moving around in a new bed. Nice way to start the school year for him. Was it the peanut butter bud cookies you made? I've never tried them, GS that I bake for now is allergic to nuts, so I'm very careful of that. Haven't even made peanut butter cookies (which I love) for a year or so. He won't even take something from a table that has a nut product on it. Doesn't eat stuff from a bakery for fear something has been made on the same tray as nuts. So far, he's a jr. in college, he's managed fine.

Sorry tt, no Hermits here, I made up some Half moons, just delicious. I started making them in 1972,all girls in school and I went back to work part time, I felt so guilty being gone that I used to spend Sundays baking.....my house was always full of kids, mine and others. Will be going apple picking sometime this month and then it will be pies, bread, jellies and sauce.
Pingo, my obstretician was on Beacon St too, last name Smith. He was terrific.
My sister and niece will be coming down on Friday from NH, niece just got home from the Phillipines and she brought me some salt and peppers. We're going to go out for breakfast, my favorite meal to eat out, one DD will be working and since the other DD's children will be in school , i invited her to join us.
Don't like having to sign in each time I want to post.....but at least they let me in!! Take care all and Keep Smiling. ss

A little later in the season I'll buy a bushel of "falls" at Brooksby and use those for cooking. Yeah, the half moons are another of the kids' favorites. We got some good recipes - "back in the day", didn't we? Those and whoopie pies were both CC recipes.
On my way out in half an hour, not raining here at all since I've been up, just dreary. Plan to work some more on my pillow cases when I get back in this afternoon.

Dad and dh built a cabinet for my canning jars...too bad it has to be hidden away in the basement for the cool temps, it's gorgeous. Will post a photo later. My mom and I canned tomato sauce and had a shopping day. Watched a movie they brought that I recommend, a true story about Temple Grandin, an autistic woman who earned her doctorate. She's still living.
My aunt and uncle (she's the chiropractor/nutritionist) will be here for the first time this weekend! So, three days clean and prepare for their visit. Looking forward to it, but have much to do this week.
Hope everyone had a great long weekend! I tried to post a few times, but bdc refused to believe I had no bad words and wouldn't let me.

It has been a little too hot and humid to take her out too much, but we took walks on the few nice days, and have spent the rest reading stories, playing with the dog, and shopping. I haven't been following the chat, but have thought of you often and wish you all well.

Have a sore/stiff shoulder/neck and took an Ibprofen, changed into my nice warm heavy sweats and sweatshirt, and then sat down on the couch with the heating pad on my shoulder. What a nice little nap I had! Phone woke me, was the cat lady down the street, just checking on Harry. I told her I'm a little concerned that Harry might be a Henrietta - he's eating me out of house and home. Full can of wet cat food in the morning and then he's back a few minutes later coaxing for kibble which he never would eat before. We compared notes and found he had two breakfasts this morning, one here at 6:30 and another at her house at 8:30. Have to keep an eye on him. - No advice from animal activists, please.
What book are the kids reviewing tomorrow, Winter?
Re: September 2012
posted at 9/4/2012 3:26 PM EDTToo bad about your shoulder/neck, tt. Hope it clears up soon.
Maybe you and his other "cat lady" can schedule who's going to put out food what days every week. If he's had enough for his size, you or your friend has already fed him, and he comes by for more, I'd not put out any more. If I understand the problem, neither of you know what the other has fed him so he scams you both.
Re: September 2012
posted at 9/4/2012 3:46 PM EDTtt, they have a test on the book A View from Sunday. The other one he read was Crispin Cross of Lead, but he will have an in class project on that. Sorry about your shoulder. Maybe you put out wet food and the other lady puts on kibble?

Re: September 2012
posted at 9/4/2012 4:05 PM EDTThat's not a bad suggestion, Kargiver. He's quite the manipulator - when he went to her house after eating here, she put out the same F.F. that I give him and he gobbles up, and he looked at her, like "What do you think you're pulling, lady?" She had to give him a can of the gourmet f.f. in gravy!
I sat in a draft at an event a couple of weeks ago, it was blowing on my shoulder and neck, and have had problems ever since. Plus, I shelve and pull books at the library once a week when I volunteer, so that doesn't help it either. The heat and ibprofen have eased it a lot this afternoon. Thanks.

Had a great weekend. DS and family arrived late Saturday night. They intended to come on Sunday but there was a mix-up of dates. I put food out and they went right to bed. Sunday, we all went to breakfast with my father. DD and family came, too, along with my aunt. She wanted to see my son and that was her window of opportunity. Later that afternoon, they took GS to college and I barely saw them until last night. DS took us out to eat. DIL and my other grandsons left early this morning to drive back. I had a nice lunch with my son and took him to the airport. He will try and get back in November. The house seems so empty now, but I'm so very grateful for our time together, here and at the shore.
winter, glad the party went well and your DS likes his new bed. Great weekend for a pool party.
hats, I watched the show about Prince Charles's garden. I think it was on earlier this spring. I found it fascinating.
tt, take care of your shoulder. Maybe you should take a break from the library this week.
november, congras on the birth of your daughter. Such a special time.
kar, you're having a lot of company. Glad the last visit went well and best wishes for the upcoming visit. Neither my DIL or SIL knew my DH. He lives on through my kids, but I think it's nice your DH and stepfather get along.
Nice to read your posts ss and pingo.
Have a great evening everybody. Guess I wasn't too brief after all!

At a brand new festival awards ceremony at London's Inner Temple, Jacques Audiard's "A Prophet" won the inaugural best film award at the Times BFI 53rd London Film Festival. Hosted by journalist and broadcaster, Paul Gambaccini, the five additional awards were presented at ceremony, including another first-time award, best British newcomer, which went to Jack Thorne, screenwriter of the film "The Scouting Book For Boys."
An international jury chaired by Anjelica Huston and including John Akomfrah, Jarvis Cocker, Mathieu Kassovitz, Charlotte Rampling and Iain Softley decided on "A Prophet," with Huston presenting the award at the ceremony. "'A Prophet' has the ambition, purity of vision and clarity of purpose to make it an instant classic," Huston said on behalf of the jury. "With seamless and imaginative story-telling, superb performances and universal themes, Jacques Audiard has made a perfect film."
The jury also gave a special mention to John Hillcoat's "The Road," praising the film's "breathtaking vision, extraordinary performances and profound political statement."
Dominic Cooper and Jodie Whittaker presented the Best British Newcomer Star of London to aforementioned Thorne, saying that Thorne "is a poetic writer with an end-of-the-world imagination and a real gift for story-telling." Special mention went to J Blakeson, the writer and director of "The Disappearance of Alice Creed."
Other winners included Scandar Copti and Yaron Shani's "Ajami," which was presented the longstanding Sutherland Award (given to the maker of the most original and imaginative first feature screening in the Festival). Jurors included Paul Greengrass, Kerry Fox and David Parfitt. "A bold and original piece of filmmaking," the jury said in a statement, 'Ajami' tells an important story in a thoroughly engrossing and cinematic way. A fantastic achievement, Scandar Copti and Yaron Shani have made a film with a heart and a vision that speaks for a common humanity."
The Grierson Award, given to the best documentary at the festival, went to Yoav Shamir's "Defamation." Juror Nick Broomfield said of the film: "'Defamation' does exactly what documentary, at its best, can do, making us re-examine our assumptions about an important and complex subject, in an absorbing and funny way. The film's intellectual courage, boldness of conception and the excitement of the journey on which it takes you make this a winning film."
The festival also gave out "the highest accolade that the British Film Institute," the BFI Fellowship, to two recipients at the ceremony. British actor John Hurt and renowned Malian filmmaker Souleymane Cissé were each given the award for "their significant achievements in the fields of acting and directing."
The London Film Festival concludes tomorrow. Check out indieWIRE's wrap up of the festival here.

Gold Panning
In the late 1860s, South Pass City was home to 2,000 some gold miners living in 300 (often ramshackle) buildings. But by 1872 the Clarissa Mine had played out and most of the miners had moved on. This city, and many others, offer the unique experience of gold panning.
For a real taste of what life was like for the miners, try panning for gold in Willow Creek.

Think Twice What a $252 Million Contract Means to You
Terry Turner,assistant vice president for human resources for the corporation that owns theRangers, told Workforce late last year that the contract was "like buying acompany ... or a country." Turner says the HR department had to buy insurancein case something happened to Rodriguez.
All these zeroes area good thing for everyone who reads this magazine. They're a good thingbecause it's a sign that people are adding up the contribution that employeesmake to the bottom lines of their employers. I mean, if we really believe that(cliché coming) employees are our most valuable asset, then certainly Rodriguezis worth every penny. In his profession, in his position, he's the bestemployee in the world, and arguably the best ever. If we look at the company'sbusiness results, and put the money where our mouths are, this kind of doughstarts making sense.
Why should we care?Well, if employees are getting paid solely for their worth to the business'sbottom line - not their experience, not their age, not anything else - itfollows that those who must evaluate these employees (HR) suddenly become very,very important.
That same importancemust hold for those who:
- Train that talent
- Help that talent get along withother talent
- Try their darnedest to hold on tothat talent
- Design benefits, salary structures,and relocation incentives
- Hire and supervise the people whomanage that talent
The Rodriguezsigning is a signal that when all's said and done, what really matters to thesuccess of your company are the people on the payroll. It's a signal that nomatter how nice a stadium you build, no matter how big a computer chip plant orhow great a business plan that promises to sell 5 million widgets by 2020, inthe final analysis it's your employees that make a difference to the bottomline.
One might argue thatwe shouldn't draw too many conclusions here, that since baseball is merely agame played with a stick, it falls in an industry that is somehow unlike therest of American commerce. This sounds like it makes sense, and believing it isa nifty way out of the huge responsibility and opportunity that greaterattention to employee worth could mean for HR. But the radical opposite is true.
Baseball has been abreeding ground for one workforce trend after another. The concept of "freeagency" started taking root in baseball in 1969, and spread to the rest ofwhat became a job-hopping workforce. Baseball became more diverse more quicklythan many other workplaces, with Hispanics (like Rodriguez) and other minoritiesfrom every walk of life working side-by-side in relative harmony. Long-rangeworkforce planning and succession planning were a way of life in baseball beforethey were in many other industries. Arbitration gained prominence in 1974 as ananswer to baseball's salary disputes and has spread into other industries andinto other areas of contention. Pay-for-performance was alive and well inbaseball before it was trendy in many corporations.
The signing of AlexRodriguez may be an indication of yet another trend, one that will place HRprofessionals in an even brighter spotlight.

At the National Influenza Vaccine Summit last month, the South Dakota Department of Health was honored for its H1N1 immunization effort with the Summit Award for Immunization Coalitions / Public Health / Community Campaign. This award was given for "outstanding efforts and partnerships during the 2009-2010 H1N1 vaccination campaign." Sanford Health, in particular, helped to organize and staff numerous public clinics to administer the H1N1 vaccine.
"In South Dakota, H1N1 vaccination was truly a partnership effort," noted Doneen Hollingsworth, Secretary of Health. "It is gratifying to see that outstanding collaboration recognized with this national award."
Coincidently, Wendell Hoffman, MD, a leader in Sanford's response to the H1N1 pandemic, recently received the 2010 Distinguished Alumni Award from the Sanford School of Medicine of The University of South Dakota. As an infectious disease specialist, Dr. Hoffman has used his expertise to prepare both the medical community and the state to handle pandemics. Additionally, he has worked at the medical school as a clinical associate professor of internal medicine since 1987.
Rodney R. Parry, Medical School Dean, stated, "His contribution to our school is invaluable. As a clinical professor, he continually strives to ensure that our medical students keep pace with the latest trends in the patient safety movement."

With grandpappy whiskers and a "how d'ye do" grin, Santy gently prods his team onward:
"On Bigfeet! On Orn'ry
Molassas an' Rumbler!
Up Yowler! Up Growler!
On Gumption and Grumbler!"
This fanciful retelling of the lighthearted Christmas favorite is sure to delight not only those in the region, but also anyone who enjoys a chuckle.

Joyce Coffey is arrested four times in a day for blasting out a rock anthem - and attacking a relative with a cooking utensil.
05:13, UK, Saturday 01 September 2012
A US woman has been arrested four times in 26 hours for blasting AC/DC song Highway To Hell and other loud music from her home.
Joyce Coffey was given a police warning on Tuesday afternoon at her home in Epping, New Hampshire, for playing the decades-old rock track.
But officers were called back an hour later and arrested her for the same offence.
She was then held again five hours later, but was again released before she was picked up just before dawn on Wednesday for playing more loud music, including tracks by Guns N' Roses.
Police arrested her for a fourth time after her nephew said he tried to remove some of his belongings from her house and she threw a frying pan at him, hitting him in the head.
Officers said alcohol may have been a factor in Coffey's behaviour.
Coffey was jailed on Friday and a judge has recommended she uses headphones in future.
She is due back in court on October 15, officials said.

Vampire hunter Elena Deveraux knows she's the best—but she doesn't know if she's good enough for this job. Hired by the dangerously beautiful Archangel Raphael, a being so lethal that no mortal wants his attention, only one thing is clear—failure is not an option...even if the task is impossible.
Because this time, it's not a wayward vamp she has to track. It's an archangel gone bad.
The job will put Elena in the midst of a killing spree like no other…and pull her to the razor's edge of passion. Even if the hunt doesn't destroy her, succumbing to Raphael's seductive touch just may. For when archangels play, mortals break…
Wow. That's all I could say for about thirty minutes after completing 'Angels' Blood'. Just wow...
I seriously never would have imagined that Nalini Singh could get any better than she already was but WOW! Ms. Singh rests firmly now in my top five authors of paranormal romance and she's currently battling it out for the number one spot with J.R. Ward and Meljean Brook.
To put it simply, 'Angels' Blood' sang to my reader heart, touching upon every one of my favorite themes with bold and confident words that leaped off the pages. It grabbed me from page one and I must say that it's an example of perfect pacing. At the close of every chapter, I was jumping straight on to the next with nary a pause for breath. I had to know what was going to happen next no matter that my eyes were burning cause my dog chewed my up reading glasses the night before. Dinner was a nuisance and I would gladly starve to appease my desire to read more of 'Angel's Blood'. Then there is the horrible knowledge that only thirty pages remain and no matter how long I wanted to drag out my exquisite reading pleasure, I had to know how it all would end. And the ending, WOW!
'Angles' Blood' takes place in what I've come to think of as a parallel modern world. No dates are given but I get the distinct feeling that the New York City represented in the novel is not futuristic. Given that the technology seems to mirror today's like cell phones and modern day vehicles, there are some new contraptions that are certainly unfamiliar but essential to this parallel world which is teaming not only with humans but angles and vampires as well.
Elena Deveraux is hunterborn, meaning that while human she possesses strength and extra-sensory gifts that supersede the norm. With scent capabilities ten times that of normal human, Elena becomes one of the best trackers of the Hunters Guild - An organization that tracks and bags rogue vampires and returns them to their makers, angles. It's this very notoriety that garners her the attention of the Archangel of Manhattan, New York.
The angles of Singh's world are not biblical. In fact, there is no claim to God or heaven and hell. They are simply an immortal species that rule the world with a circle of power known as the Cadre of Ten(very similar to the Psy Council in Singh's Psy/Changeling series except for the angel ruling body extends over all species.).
Raphael, Archangel of Manhattan and member of the Cadre of Ten, has hired Elena to track not a rogue vampire but to her surprise, he demands that she track a rogue archangel and once member of the Cadre of Ten, Uram, who has fallen off the grid. Elena's reward if she accomplishes her mission are riches beyond her imaginings, but if she fails she will be punished which translates to slow torture followed by death.
Elena is not unlike another favorite heroine of mine - Mercedes Thompson. Both are not reluctant heroines, but rather they simply know that for the job to be done their skills are needed and for this reason, there is no backing down or turning away for them. Plus, they both are natural protectors of innocents and embody a unyielding desire to bring down that which is trying so desperately to destroy that innocence. They also both have smart mouths that even despite their terror of the moment, they still can not resist putting a man in his place. Which, come on ladies, who can't love that trait in a heroine?
On the other hand, Raphael is more anti-hero than hero but it's this very trait that not only ignites Elena's desire for one the most powerful archangels in the world, but it plays havoc on my hormones as well. The man is simply sex incarnate with his gold tipped wings that shed glittering dust that tastes like ambrosia, food for the gods. He possesses eyes so blue that there is nothing comparable or even represented anywhere else on earth. In addition, Raphael is not human and is a being of little to no remorse. Being an archangel alone demands more of his soul than being a mere angel. His archangel gifts strip him of his humanity each year of his existence which has already been long. This lack of humanity reminds not only me but Elena as well that Raphael will most likely kill her at the end of her hired mission based mostly on the fact that she simply knows too much. More than any other mortal. For if an angel reveals their secrets to humans it's punishable by the taking away of his/her wings leaving said angel earthbound for eternity. A steep price to say the least.
There are many traits embodied by Elena that spark Raphael's interest. For an immortal, it takes a lot for a human to be more than mundane. Perhaps it's her fearlessness in the face of death for she pushes him time and again right up to the killing edge. Or is it her shear will to never be cowed, to never fall to her knees before another.? Maybe it's the fact that immortality is the last thing that Elena would ever ask for much less desire. She covets immortality like an angel would covet being human. Suffice it to say that even Raphael doesn't understand his desire for her but what he does know is that he loathes ever having to one day break her warrior spirit.
The sexual tension is absolutely fierce between Raphael and Elena. Couple that with the constant threat of death for Elena by the hand of Raphael and you're on shaky but sexually charged ground. It was in these instances that Raphael's humanity within his soul began to shine. Never, in his ancient existence, has he ever taken a woman by force. His seductive power alone would make taking a woman so easy but he it's his own personal vow that she come to him and when Elena does, whew! Their coupling is beyond explosive for by that time the tension had reached it's ultimate peak.
The death and blood portrayed in 'Angels' Blood' is not for the faint of heart. Ms. Singh leaves little to the imagination and what Uram does to his victims is beyond insanity. His macabre art forces Elena to loose the contents of her stomach many times over. Although, this blood red gore is important for it reinforces the readers awareness that these angels, while sublimely beautiful, are far from being human. Raphael himself is subject to and fully capable of becoming like Uram for with each passing year, his archangel abilities strip pieces of his soul. But what I believe causes the reader to fall in love with him, although there are many things, but rather what humanizes him is his fear of becoming Uram. Perhaps Elena and his steady fascination of her will help him retain what little humanity he does possess.
'Angels' Blood' is an absolute must read for anyone who loves paranormal romance. I know many fans have reservations with Nalini Singh publishing this new series but she is an author to trust. The only aspect of 'Angels' Blood' that left me twitching is that Ms. Singh ends the novel with a sizable cliff hanger, not only with Elena's fate but the fate of possibly the world with the emergence of another rogue archangel. Aw man, I can't wait to get my hands on the next series installment, 'Angel's Kiss' releasing 2010, which thankfully returns to the adventures of Raphael and Elena. Their relationship is on precarious ground to say the least.

From an early age, crucial moments of his life have disappeared into a black hole of forgetting, his boyhood marred by a series of terrifying events he can't remember. What remains is the ghost of memory and the broken lives around him--the lives of his childhood friends, Kayleigh, Lenny and Tommy. Throughout his childhood, Evan was under the care of a psychologist who encouraged him to keep a journal, detailing the events of his day-to-day life. Now in college, Evan reads from one of his journals and finds himself thrust suddenly, inexplicably back in time.

Share Share Share Story by UTV Staff, Belfast Barlow along with Howard Donald, Mark Owen and their manager Jonathan Wild invested £66 million into two-partnerships styled as music industry investment schemes, The Times reported.Judge Colin Bishopp ruled that 51 partnerships set up by Icebreaker Management were to secure tax relief for members and HM Revenue and Customs is now expected to demand repayment.In his ruling, the judge said: "The Icebreaker scheme is, and was known and understood by all concerned to be, a tax avoidance scheme. "The aim was to secure sideways relief for the members, and to inflate the scale of the relief by unnecessary borrowing." It was alleged in 2012 that Barlow, Donald, Owen and Wild invested at least £26 million in a scheme run by Icebreaker Management. At the time Take That's lawyers insisted the bandmates believed the investments were legitimate enterprises and that all four named paid "significant tax", according to reports. There has been no suggestion that fellow Take That bandmates Jason Orange and Robbie Williams were involved in the scheme. Almost 1,000 investors are understood to have placed at least £300 million in the scheme, The Times said. A spokesman for Take That said there was no comment from Barlow, Donald, Owen or Wild. An Icebreaker Management spokesman said: "Icebreaker Management is extremely disappointed with this decision since it puts a valuable source of funding for the UK's independent music industry in jeopardy."Icebreaker will review the full decision and consider all the LLPs' options including appeal."An HMRC spokesman said: "HMRC has put in place generous reliefs to support genuine business investment and our tax reliefs for the creative industries work well, enabling the UK's world-class film, television and video production companies to compete on the global stage."But we will not tolerate abuse of the system by people trying to dodge their tax obligations. HMRC will continue to challenge in the courts and anyone who engages in tax avoidance schemes risk not only the high cost of these schemes but also lay themselves open to penalties and, potentially, prosecution." © UTV Share Share Share

From the camera lucida to the latest in digital image making and computer manipulation, photographic technology has dramatically changed throughout its nearly 200-year history, as succinctly explained and powerfully illustrated in A World History of Photography. Thanks to the unique immediacy with which photography captures perspective and history, the popularity and use of the camera spread rapidly around the globe. Today, photography is ubiquitous: from newspapers and fashion magazines to billboards and the film industry, cultures worldwide have embraced this malleable artistic medium for a limitless variety of purposes. Naomi Rosenblum's classic text investigates all aspects of photography-aesthetic, documentary, commercial, and technical-while placing photos in their historical context. Included among the more than 800 photographs by men and women are both little-known and celebrated masterpieces, arranged in stimulating juxtapositions that illuminate their visual power. Authoritative and unbiased, Rosenblum's chronicle of photography both chronologically and thematically traces the evolution of this still-young art form. Exploring the diverse roles that photography has played in the communication of ideas, Rosenblum devotes special attention to topics such as portraiture, documentation, advertising, and photojournalism, and to the camera as a means of personal artistic expression. The revised fourth edition includes updates on technical advances as well as a new chapter on contemporary photographers. Armed with the expressive vigor of its images, this thorough and accessible volume will appeal to all.

What's up, Playing Fielders! This is nWo emissary Alan Trehern here, and I want to take a little walk down memory lane. More like a HARDCOOOORE walk down memory PAIN!!
I wanted to completely review a pretty famous Wrestlemania from 10 years ago: WRESTLEMANIA X8. But as I watched through the matches, and the butt-loads of championship belts that were on the line (Intercontinental, European, Inner-Suburbs of Detroit, etc), I realized that I'll leave the match-by-match reviews to the IWC [1] and 900-pound YouTube personalities (SUMMER OF DERPA DUUURRRRHHH!!!)
WMX8 is famous for one match and one match only: Hulk Hogan versus the Rock. It was huge and it was in Canada, where the wrestling fans go apesh*t. It's a hella good match, and the ridiculousness of these two personalities clashing parallels what is actually going on with the Rock versus John Cena. Of course, Cena is the Rock in this scenario, and Dwayne is the Hulkster...but instead of being evil, the Rock is kinda a douche. Maybe after Cena woops his ass, Rock will see his douche-self and come back to the WWE full-time like Hulkamania did.
**checks Dwayne's tax return**
Nahhh...that's not happening.
Scott Hall vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin
Before I get to the ridiculous match that inspired this post, let me pit-stop at the Stone Cold Steve Austin versus Scott Hall match that I was excited to see, and then let down to experience. Scott Hall, I guess, wasn't the best of the wrestling crop in the early 2000s; Stone Cold stunned him a total 56 times, and I don't think Hall made one offensive move. I always felt bad at DestiGeddon that Hall rarely finished any of his moves, but now I see where he was training: under the boot of the Rattlesnake.
The Stunners in this match reached divine proportions. If God was a fan of Stone Cold (which I'm sure He is), he'd probably cite this match as the one that heavily displayed the Stone Cold Stunner. Hall, though, Stuns as well, never whipping out the Outsider's Edge or anything. And Kevin Nash was there. Boooo! (Sorry, Kev. Much love.)
The Hardcore Championship
But the real take-away match here was for the Hardcore Championship match between Goldust and some joker named Maven [?]. First of all, the belt they're fighting for can be challenged anytime of the day, 24/7, as long as you have a ref following you around, I surmise. So after a pretty good match, outta nowhere there's a pin, and the champ leaves. Then in the parking lot, ANOTHER pin! I'm serious! Anytime, anyplace, this belt is up for grabs!!!
So, you're getting a Big Gulp, then BAM!! Slim Jim to the face!! Macho Man is the Hardcore Champ!!
Taking a leak at a rest stop somewhere in Montana, SKA-BOOOOOSH!! Outta nowhere Andre the Giant busts down the stall and small packages you on that moist, sandy floor! You've lost the belt!!
If this belt isn't brought back into the fold immediately, WWE, I'm contacting Otunga for the rights to this gold. It MUST be brought to DG [2]!

[2] Generation 12 of DestiGeddon coming soon!

Truce accord inserts Egypt to unprecedented degree into conflict between Israel, Hamas. Morsi considered key player by US in ensuring lull between both sides
Associated Press
Published: 11.22.12, 18:43 / Israel News

In return, Morsi emerged as a major regional player. He won the trust of the United States
and Israel, which once worried over the rise of an Islamist leader in Egypt but throughout the week-long Gaza crisis saw him as the figure most able to deliver a deal with Gaza's Hamas rulers.

Throughout it all, Morsi and his aides sided openly with Hamas, accusing Israel of starting the assault and condemning its bombardment.
Morsi hails from the fundamentalist Muslim Brotherhood,
Egypt's most powerful political group and Hamas' own parent organization. Brotherhood leaders, including Morsi, refuse to speak to Israeli officials. Morsi hasn't even said the name of the country publicly since he was inaugurated in late June, though he has referred to its people as "Israelis."

By James Holter
Kids don't have to race to have fun on motorcycles, but if they're mentally and physically tuned for racing, competition can be an immensely rewarding experience.
As a parent, you need to honestly assess your child's desire and ability before they line up at the starting gate.
It's a big deal to start racing—for both your kid (emotionally, physically) and you (time and money investment). To help you get started, we caught up with a man who's an expert when it comes to kids and racing: Philip Rispoli, who runs the Coolskunk dirt-track racing program that introduces kids to the fun world of dirt-track racing.
"They need the right combination of parental support and the right rider attitude," he says. "The parents must be committed to supporting the rider, and the rider needs that twinkle in the eye."
Rispoli stresses that parents must be on the right page: "If you end up with a world champion, great, but that's not what this is about. We want to build a winner both on and off the track."
If you decide that racing is in the cards for your kids, there is a range of events to consider—from low-impact, participatory events to serious racing. Among those, your kid might qualify for one or more classes that vary by age and/or skill level. He or she will also need to be an AMA member, and possibly a member of your particular AMA district, to be eligible to compete.
On this page, you can see a description of the different kinds of competition sanctioned by the AMA. Read on to see what you need to know as the parent of a fledgling racer at some of the most common events.
Many clubs offer for-fun-only, semi-competitive trail rides in addition to full-bore races. Often, to take the competitiveness of the event down a notch, the organizers introduce some fun, random elements into the competition.
One such club is Variety Riders in Ottawa, Illinois. Variety Riders organizes about six "egg hunt" trail rides each year, with wooden pegs instead of real eggs.
"The riders run two 15-minute heats around a set loop. At some point in the loop, they stop and pick up a colored peg," explains Mark Fleming, vice president of Variety Riders. "They drop that peg in a scoring bucket and at the end of the second heat, we randomly assign points to each peg color and add up each kid's points. We stress safety and fun. We run it as a family day, just people with a common hobby getting together and having a good time."
Most kids get started racing in motocross.
A motocross race usually includes a practice session and two "motos." The combined score of the two motos determines the winner.
You will pay a gate fee to get into the track and then an entry fee at sign-up for each class your child enters. The entry forms are straight-forward and basically cover liability and class selection.
There are a number of beginning-level classes for kids.
AMA Classes 3 and 4 accommodate less-experienced kids from 4-8 years old, riding less-powerful 50cc motorcycles. The AMA Racing Amateur Rulebook includes the specific rules. Often, these classes are run on a smaller track. At some races, parents of kids in Classes 3 and 4 will have access to the track to help their kids if they fall.
Classes 1 and 2 generally include more experienced kids riding racier two-strokes with more advanced suspension. Class 1 is for kids ages 4-6. Class 2 is for kids ages 7-8. These classes, particularly Class 2, can be quite aggressive and aren't a good choice for your kid's first race.
Most tracks also offer beginning classes for older kids. If not, rest assured that there will be a wide range of skill level in any class they do run.
Hare scrambles are like a motocross race in the woods. Because there is no second moto involved, as there is with motocross, race days are generally shorter.
While the top kids are just as determined at a hare scramble as at a motocross, the general perception is the woods races are a less-intimidating environment. Much of that has to do with the longer course that leads to less tight racing.
Harescramble racers, particularly new ones, race against the course as much as they race the other participants.
It may not look like it on the track, but racing is a team sport. And for amateur racers, the "home team" usually means just that—Mom, Dad and other family members who support their racing efforts.
That puts extra responsibility on parents, who often need to fill the roles of coach, tuner and sponsor, in addition to their normal duties.
How do you juggle those complex roles? Sports psychologist Patrick Cohn offers eight guidelines for parents of amateur racers:
Racing should be fun. Treat it that way. With all the money in professional sports today, it is hard for parents to understand that it's just good fun to young racers. The primary goal should be to have fun and enjoy the healthy competition.
Young racers compete in sports for many reasons. They enjoy the competition, like the social aspect, and enjoy the challenge of setting goals. You might have a different agenda, but you need to recognize that racing is your child's sport, not yours.
Focus on the process of racing, instead of results. Winning comes from working the process and enjoying the ride.
You are a role model for your child athlete. Your child will see how you react to a close race or questionable behavior by a competitor. Stay calm, composed and in control at the track, so your child can mimic those positive behaviors.
Refrain from race-day coaching. Once at the track, athletes need to trust in their training and "just do it." Save the coaching for practice and focus on encouragement at the track.
Help your athlete detach self-esteem from achievement. Too many athletes attach self-worth to their level of performance. Help your child understand that he or she is a person first, who happens to race, instead of a racer who happens to be a person.
Ask your child athlete the right questions. This tells your child what you think is important in sports. If you ask, "Did you win?" your child will think winning is important. If you ask, "Did you have fun?" he or she will assume having fun is important.
Pledge to follow the Parent's Code of Ethics developed by the Parents Association for Youth Sports (www.NAYS.org; (800) 729-2057). PAYS provides a parental handbook and code of ethics for adults to sign before each competitive season. This is a great tool to guide parents in their interaction with young athletes.
Patrick J. Cohn, Ph.D., is the founder of Peak Performance Sports in Orlando, Florida. He is a nationally recognized mental game coach who works with motorcycle and auto racers. For more information, visit www.peaksports.com or call (888) 742-7225.

March 10, 2008
Carbondale, Ill. - Southern Illinois took advantage of some wildness by the Butler pitching staff and defensive miscues in the field to go ahead early before holding on for a 9-2 decision at Abe Martin Field on Monday (March 10) afternoon.
A pair of walks, a wild pitch, a hit batsman and a fielding error helped the Salukis to a pair of two-out runs in the first inning before a four-hit second inning doubled the scoring to put SIU ahead 4-0.
After working through some early troubles, Butler starting pitcher Bryan Bokowy settled in to work a hitless third and fourth inning.
Meanwhile, the Bulldogs offense attempted to get back into the contest. Ryan Neat led off the fifth with a bunt single before Alex Montagano followed with a single to right to put runners on first and second with no one out.
The threat would end there, however, as a strikeout and double-play quickly erased the scoring opportunity.
The Salukis added a run in the sixth before getting a two-out, three-run home run in the seventh to put SIU in front 8-0.
The Bulldogs got on the board in the eighth, as Rick Betsch followed a one out single by Joe Pauley with an RBI double to the gap in right center before moving to third on a ground-out. Kyle McLaughlin brought Betsch home with a single to center, but Butler would get no more.
The Bulldogs return to Indianapolis on Tuesday (March 11) when they host Taylor in the home opener beginning at 3:00 p.m. at Bulldog Park.

Icecapades in Antarctica
Solo woman traveler finds unforgettable beauty, adventure on the seventh continent
Corine Freeman, first-time traveler from McDonough, Georgia may have traversed the sands of Africa, photographed the onion domes of Russia, and admired the monuments of Rome and temples of Korea up close. But until this winter, Corine had two continents to check off on her world list: South America and Antarctica.
Fin del mundo literally means "end of the world," but for Corine Freeman and fellow travelers on Antartica's White Wilderness, it was just the beginning, in Ushuaia, Argentina.
"I didn't even know I could go there," she said of the seventh continent. "But my travel agent told me Grand Circle could get me there [on Antarctica's White Wilderness], and treated [solo travelers] well. That was the truth. Some people say, 'Girl, you've got a lot of nerve going to place like that by yourself.' It doesn't bother me. As long as I have a tour guide and someone to take me through these countries, I'm fine. As long as I have a tour guide and someone to take me through these countries, I'm fine. I think we are here for a purpose, and we're supposed to go where we're supposed to go without fear, or hesitation."
And although she was aware that the turbulent Drake Passage at times provides challenges—and excitement—all its own, Corine said the rewards are worth it.
"There's nothing else that compares to the beauty of Antarctica. That trip just stands up by itself. It stands alone. You'll never be able to find any other like it. It's just so beautiful, it's something you'll never forget."
The natural beauty of Antarctica—including this 10 p.m sunset—blew Corine Freeman away.
When Corine got her pictures developed, the developer, a native Alaskan, thought they were from our 49th state. And although Corine's traveled there, too, she said nothing compares to the sights. "You can't compare Alaska with Antarctica—or any other place on earth. It just stands out. It's an experience different from any other trip you can take."
Part of that, of course, is the colorful culture of South America . But for landscape and seascape, the beauty of the white wilderness is still embedded in her consciousness. "I'd peer out and I'd see ice everywhere, some whales, and always penguins. I still dream about it now."
Penguins waddling onshore is a daily occurrence on most departures of Antarctica's White Wilderness.
Corine and her fellow travelers were able to explore what they saw from their portholes each morning on daily shore excursions—and getting to land was one of the most memorable parts of her adventures. "I loved those Zodiacs—it's really exhilarating. My daughter and I had looked at the video on the Internet [of the trip], and she said, 'Mom, are you going to get on one of those things?' and I said, 'I'll try at least one time.' You could tell the guys driving it really enjoyed it too!"
Photographing wildlife never gets old, even for expedition guides like Oleg.
She said the rafts' small size made her feel quite secure, and she offered up advice to other Antarctica travelers. Sleeping on the couch aboard the Corinthian made her feel cozy—more like her smaller quarters at home—as opposed to the large bed and spacious cabin. "Everyone on the ship was great, right down to the housekeeper. She noticed where I was sleeping, and she started making up the couch instead."
Corine was also impressed by her Program Director Berna. "He was so sweet, and I've traveled a lot. He was the best guide I've had." Berna gave her some tips when she felt seasick while crossing the Drake Passage: While many travelers use a patch to prevent sea sickness, it doesn't work for all of them. Sometimes, motion sickness pills work better and the front desk of the ship distributes these pills for passengers who need them. Berna also advised her to keep eating—even if it's just crackers or dry toast. Never one to let queasiness keep her down, Corine followed Berna's advice. When she replaced her patch with Dramamine, she felt much better. (For more information about physical challenges to expect on this trip, click here.)
This was an experience that made her stronger, said Corine. "I had an idea it was going to be a little shaky, but I didn't think it would be quite that rough," she said of the Drake Passage, where the Atlantic and Pacific oceans meet. "But I think that kind of made the trip, in a way, because now we've got bragging rights. We can all say, 'Boy, we endured something.' And no matter how much the ship rocked, I didn't see one waiter spill a single cup of coffee."
Corine and one of the many helpful members of the Corinthian crew.
And there were plenty of cups of coffee and tea to be had onboard, where Corine made new friends. Her outgoing nature has helped her on countless trips.
Corine said she makes new friends on all of her trips as a solo traveler.
"Everywhere I go, I make friends with other single people. But all of the couples are always willing to share a table with you at dinner. A lot of women will not travel by themselves, because they feel that if they don't take someone with them, they'll be alone. I always tell them, 'That is not true!'"
Corine said she never felt alone on Antarctica's White Wilderness, and enjoyed something a little bit different from other trips she's been on, she said. "It was beautiful, I enjoyed the whole trip. "It was beautiful, I enjoyed the whole trip. But what was also beautiful was my tour guide. In all the traveling that I've done by myself, I've had people pick me up at the airport and bring me back. But I've never had anyone waiting for everyone and bringing them to the counter to make sure everyone's flight was OK."
As for the next time she boards a plane, Corine said she will likely be heading back to Italy—though the seventh continent has left an indelible impression on her. "When we would go onshore and stand there and see nothing but ice. It looked like someone had created a work of art."
