How come you don't have Ranks of some characters (in the Bingo Book sense?).Like for instance Neji's rank is Jonin which is true but would he be considered an A-Rank or B-Rank Shinobi?. I know that Rogue Ninja usually have a Class but it would be interesting to know people who aren't Missing-Nins Rank.Do you guys have any plans to do this?or is there not enough info for most characters?anyway thanks for hearing me out. (This is my first time writing here so if I wrote this already sorry for the waste of time).
Hmmm... I don't know. But I badly to want to know Itachi's rank and Kisame's but they would probably be considered Jonin I guess. Kabuto as a Special Jonin makes a lot sense. They would all be considered S-Rank or Rogue or as Akatsuki, both! I would consider all Rogue Ninjas as Special Jonin though. But it is done by which missions they are assigned.
- Genin: D - C Rank
- Chuunin: C- B Rank
- ANBU and Jonin: A - S Rank
Originally S Rank would only be a rank for Kages and Sannin and a class for criminals. This is same with Rogue Ninja. Kakashi Namikaze 22:37, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
Ranking system
The ranking system is simple, top being the highest rank.
- Kage (for the Five Great Shinobi Nations only)
- Jonin
- Special Jonin
- Chunin
- Genin
Although we have the Legendary Sannin, they are merely titles: Jiraiya, Tsunade (at the time), and Orochimaru would be officially considered as Jonin. The Hokage, Mizukage, Raikage, Tsuchikage, and Kazekage are the only other ranks higher than that of Jonin. The Hoshikage does not count, because the Star Village is not recognized as the village of a "great nation."
ANBU and the like are an organization, not a rank (although many say otherwise). They are handpicked by their village leader, I would presume, so they are probably prominent Jonin in strength.
this is sorta on the subject,but what are ninja counterparts.Ninja that your named after in the naruto series?please explain.Haru Mclean Namikaze (talk), Kanji: ナミカゼ ハ ル マクリーン, Romaji: Namikaze Haru Makurīn 11:13, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
Narutois in Genin.
These are them
Kage Tokubetsu Jonin(Special Jonin) Jonin Chunin Genin Academy Student
These are the ones that ae not ranks:
ANBU Sannin
- Wrong, Jonin are higher than Special Jonin. Doesn't make any sense, but that's the way it is. But who cares? The Genin weren't sent on only C-D missions, they were sent on a lot of A-B missions.
And Naruto still is a Genin, however I consider him as a Chunin. UmbrellaxD 10:25, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
Itachi's an ANBU Chunin as Sasuke only mentioned that he became Chunin at 10 and never mentioned if he was a Jonin. Also, S-Rank is probably used for Akatsuki Members or Internationally Wanted Criminals (Eg:- Kisame, as mentioned by Kurenai and Sasuke) —This unsigned comment was made by Arceus The God of Pokemon (talk • contribs) .
- There are no distinction between chūnin and jōnin once you become an ANBU. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 16:20, March 12, 2011 (UTC)
Nothing actually depends on Ranks... Naruto's a Genin, but after he unlocks Sage Mode, he's stronger than Jiraiya (as Naruto beat Pain who defeated Jiraiya), who is equivalent to Tsunade, a Kage. Sasuke's a Genin too, but he defeated an army of Sound Jonin and killed Danzou, a Hokage. Kabuto Yakushi's official rank is Genin but he's very strong, about as much as Kakashi Hatake and his strength increased once he absorbed Orochimaru! —This unsigned comment was made by Arceus The God of Pokemon (talk • contribs) .
- Your point being? Why did you necromanced such an old forum? The last non-useless edit to it happen in May 2008. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 16:20, March 12, 2011 (UTC)

Maybe this isn't the best place for this, but I wanted to share this awesome UI library for Cocos2d!
Library: https://github.com/shadowmint/nwidget
Also, is Python slow? By slow, I mean too slow for simple games(the maximum I'd like to make is a platformer/side-scroller)?
I love Python! Simple, easy to read and easy to use. If you can make games with it, and general apps, it's the #1 language to relax with. This might sound creepy, but if I've had a hard day, and I'm just bored and tired, I'll fire up IDLE and start having fun with Python(the only thing I really ever do is code ). Are there any popular games made with Python?

TPWD Game Warden Field Notes
The following are excerpts from recent Texas Parks and Wildlife Department law enforcement reports.
Looking for Pickles and Ice Cream? A Travis County Warden got a call about a different kind of trespasser in Austin. A full-grown, pregnant doe deer had run straight thru an open door in the Central Market Store located at the Westgate Shopping Center. The warden roped the deer and with the help of the other officers, she taped the legs together and successfully transported the mother-to-be to a nearby greenbelt and released her back to habitat that was much more to her liking. No one knows why the deer ran into the store; maybe the Mom-to-be just had a special craving.

Most Democrats have long shied away from the gun-control issue as political poison. And while the death toll in Newtown is ratcheting up the pressure for the president to take what he calls "meaningful action," it is not clear that he can—or will—mount a legislative effort against the power of the National Rifle Association.
A White House adviser said Obama's words were not mere rhetoric. "He did speak emotionally after Tucson and Aurora, but I do think yesterday seemed different. He does mean it and will follow through," he said.
But while no decisions have been made, the adviser said, "if we regress into our corners and retrod the ground of the gun-control debate, I'm not sure anyone will be well served by that." Instead, this person spoke of a "broader look" that could include improved mental-health services and efforts to keep guns out of the hands of the mentally unbalanced.
If that is the president's course, he will disappoint gun-control advocates and those Democrats who passionately believe that tighter restrictions are needed to curtail what has become a depressingly regular series of mass shootings.

Three days ago IBM launched Distributed Virtual Switch 5000V, its own distributed vSwitch for VMware ESX platform. On one hand, it proves Cisco has been going the right way with Nexus 1000V (just in case you wondered), on the other hand, things just got way more interesting – IBM is obviously returning to networking.
The feature list of the DVS 5000V is not impressive (bonus point: unlike vSwitch it does include LACP), and it sure looks like a me-too product, until you come to EVB support. Not having anything to lose by implementing standards favored by other vendors, IBM jumped head-on into technology that makes the most sense if you believe VLANs are the way to go when implementing virtual networks.
IBM already has EVB/VEPA support for KVM.
You still need two to tango – EVB support in the hypervisor doesn't buy you anything unless it's also implemented in the adjacent switch, and it's not clear yet which ToR switch you could use. Force10 announced EVB support way before they were bought by Dell and hasn't delivered yet, HP is promising EVB for years (with no visible results, although HP 5900 is supposedly VEPA-ready), and I couldn't find anything EVB-related in the specs for IBM's BNT switches.
There might be an interesting twist in this story. You don't have to implement EVB in the ToR switches if you're using OpenFlow. EVB is a control-plane-only protocol and thus a perfect fit for a software module in an OpenFlow controller. We know IBM and NEC are working together on proving OpenFlow is ready for enterprise networks... looks like we have a few very interesting years ahead of us.

Security at Dodge City Community College is a shared responsibility between the administration, the students, the campus community, and local law enforcement agencies. While the College takes actions to help increase security, students and visitors also carry a burden to contribute to their own safety by following rules, using common sense, avoiding dangerous situations, and reporting suspicious or threatening activities immediately to campus security.
Access to campus facilities is limited. Vehicles must be registered by purchasing a parking sticker in the office of Student Services.
Students wishing to be escorted should call 338-0197 or 227-9311.
Most security officers at Dodge City Community College are active law enforcement officers. As such, these security officers are authorized to carry firearms and have authority to arrest persons suspected of violating the law. Dodge City Community College reports criminal activity to local agencies through the office of Student Services.
If it is determined that a specific danger to the campus community, or specific segments of the campus community exists, an appropriate notification to the community of that danger will be made. This determination will be jointly made by the Campus Security Director, the Dean of Student Services and/or Vice President of Student and Community Services in consultation with the college attorney.

Feeling Hot Hot HotRebus brain teasers use words or letters in interesting orientations to represent common phrases.
Mr. Ixolite was in Mexico on his holidays and was looking to try the hottest chili he could find.
He went into a restaurant and ordered a hot one. After the fire in his mouth had been put out, and he sat there gasping for breath, the waiter came up to him and said,
"Excuse me, Senor Ixolite, we are very sorry, but we accidentally gave you the wrong chili. We gave you the mild one instead of this very hot one. Would you like it?"
MrIxolite paled, but being unable to speak, grabbed a napkin and wrote out the following rebus:
Hose A)
Hose B) Way
Hose C) Way
What was Mr. Ixolite trying to say?
AnswerNO WAY JOSE!
(No Way at Hose A)

I came across three forms tips in the Adobe Acrobat User Community Newsletter. These tips are designed to increase your productivity when signing or creating forms.
Tip 1: Create a signature stamp to sign PDF forms
A scan of your signature converted to an Acrobat stamp makes it fast and easy to sign forms without printing them. From the Comment task pane, open Annotations. Select Custom Stamps from the Stamp icon pulldown. Select Custom Stamps >Create Custom Stamps. Import a gif of your scanned signature. Now place the stamp whenever you need to sign. It will be accepted almost anywhere that you could use a real-world signature stamp. Here's a video that shows you how: Create a signature stamp to sign PDF forms.
Tip 2: Edit form fields without using the Form Editing Mode
Once you've created your form and are back in Viewer Mode, you may want to make more changes. Rather than go back into Form Editing Mode, simply activate the Select Object mode. All form fields are instantly highlighted. Right-clicking a field brings up a menu with the same option as in the Form Editing Mode. Click the hand tool to return to normal browse mode. Here's a video that shows you how: Editing form fields in a PDF Document.
Tip 3: Change tabbing order of a form
To change the tabbing order of a form, click the Tools task pane and open the Forms panel. Click Edit and open the Fields panel. This shows all of the form fields in the document. The tab order is the order of the fields as listed. To change the tab order, simply drag and drop a field name to a different location. Here's a video that shows you how: Getting Started: Creating Simple Forms (starting at 00.48 seconds on the timeline).

I just downloaded BackTrack 2.0 final Live CD and it seems to run OK but I know nothing about Linux and can't get programs to run from the command prompt. For example this what I get when I try to run airodump:
bt ~# airodump
bash: airodump: command not found
I've searched the forum for hours but am more confused than before. The How-to for the live cd says that after the cd boots up and you log on to reboot but when I do that it just does the same thing again, but if I just type startx it seems to work OK.
As are all of the tools in the Aircrack-ng suite.Code:airodump-ng
Second, the reboot and poweroff commands are there to show you how to properly shut down BT2 from the command prompt. They have nothing to do with actually using it.
Third, if you're new to Linux, read this thread first; and considering learning basic Slax/Linux commands. Otherwise, you will be in way over your head.
Fourth, ask yourself: Why are you using BT2? Are you a pentester? Do you really have a need to use this? You can use aircrack-ng in almost any Linux distro.
Find the airodump program in the menu (under Backtrack somewhere), then click on it.
This will open a new shell.
Try running it from that shell.
If it still doesn't work try doing:
and seeing if the name of the program is slightly different (maybe it now has a version number).Code:ls
I can't check for you at the moment as my B|T install is at work.
Question asked and answered; spoonfeeding exhausted; thread closed.

LONDON (Reuters) - Prime Minister David Cameron's 5-billion-pound flagship scheme to get the long-term unemployed into work found jobs for fewer than three in every 100 Britons referred to it in its first year, statistics published on Tuesday showed.
The Work Programme, which is completely outsourced to a range of private, public and voluntary sector organisations, was introduced by the cash-strapped coalition government in a bid to move the unemployed into work and off benefits.
In the first 12 months of the scheme, 18,270 people held down jobs for six months, or three months in more difficult cases, out of more than 785,000 people referred, an average success rate of 2.3 percent.
Opposition leader Ed Miliband called the programme a "miserable failure", adding that a better way to tackle unemployment would be if the government paid the wages to employers in exchange for training.
"What we've seen from this government today is a failure to reform welfare," Miliband said. "Welfare bills are going up not down, not because of generosity in relation to welfare from this government, but because their plans aren't working."
The Work Programme was a central part of the coalition government's 2010 agreement, designed to encourage the private sector to take up the slack as the government cut back public sector jobs in a bid to slash the deficit.
However the approach has been seized on by critics who accuse Cameron's Conservative-led government of having an ideological preference for private outsourcing work by companies whose main priority revolves around making a profit.
The Work Programme is based on a system of payments-by-results, which the government is intending to roll out to other parts of the public sector, such as prisons.
Data for the 14 months of the programme provided by the Department for Work and Pensions showed that not a single provider had reached the minimum 5.5 percent target set by civil servants when the programme launched in June 2011.
The minimum performance target rises sharply to 27.5 percent in year two and to 33 percent in year three, targets that providers believe they can reach.
One provider in the west of England, JHP Group, found sustainable jobs for just 2.4 percent of those referred. Larger companies such as G4S and Serco performed marginally better but still missed the targets by some way.
Employment Minister Mark Hoban said he had sent out letters to a small number of providers demanding an improvement plan, and will monitor their performance, though he declined to give further details.
"Some are reaching the standards we expect, others have some way to go," he said. "Ultimately, we can withdraw their contract."
The government, which estimates that the programme could cost up to 5 billion pounds, has said that providers could earn between 3,700 and 13,700 pounds for every person they keep in a job for six months.
Sean Williams, who runs G4S' seven-year Work Programme contract worth 255 million pounds, defended the company's performance in the north of England, adding that he is "sector-agnostic".
"I don't think it matters whether you're from the private, public or voluntary sector, what matters is your ability to provide tailored services to unemployed people," he said.
According to the latest official statistics, the unemployment rate in Britain is around 7.8 percent, a relatively low figure for an economy that only emerged from recession in the third quarter of this year, a phenomenon that has become known as the "productivity puzzle".
However the number of long-term jobless, defined as those out of work for over a year, has increased, and reached just under a million people in September.
John, a 57-year old welder who has been out of work for two years, has just been assigned to the Work Programme.
"I'll go down there to see what they can do for me, but I don't think there's a lot that they can do - most of the work I've ever had is from people I know," he said.
John, who did not want to give his full name, said he thought young people were hardest hit.
"When I was a kid, we had technical schools, we had proper apprenticeships but I learnt welding and that's a dead trade now, for someone my age anyway," he said.

Welcome to "Ultimate Index Of Guides, Links, And Posts: Cataclysm Edition"
At this point I believe I've weeded out all the outdated and dead links and correctly rerouted all the misdirecting ones (Mostly Allakhazam and the Official WoW links) The list is a lot trimmer as many Cataclysm guides are in the making at this early stage of the expansion.
You may have noticed that this post didn't get a lot of attention during Wrath, after a good long run I sort of just started wandering off during Wrath and no longer in a position to regularly find new resources and update this list. I hate to see it just slip into the aether so if anyone is interested in taking it over please shoot me a PM and let me know. Happy Holidays to all and have a wonderful New Year! :)

Sustainable before Sustainability was Cool
Locally-sourced, real food
We often remind ourselves of how fortunate we are to be able to source many of our fresh, natural and organic ingredients locally from nearby farms and businesses. We have actually done this from the start of our business in 1960 – carefully selecting ingredients that make sense for our company, our customers and our community. I guess you can say that, whether we meant to be or not, Springfield Creamery has been sustainable long before it was cool!
Those sturdy Nancy's Yogurt containers have a fond following across the country- known to many as 'Nancysware' and are continually reused over and over again for anything from leftovers to paperclips. We continue to do our part in researching different plastic options for our yogurt containers, keeping abreast of new and emerging sustainable options. At this time, we continue to feel that the reusable HDPE #2 plastic grade containers are the best option. Also all Nancy's containers are:
• Absolutely free of all BPAs and chemical estrogens.
So, we thank you for enjoying your Nancy's and then finding the perfect way to reuse that Nancysware!
Solar Powered
At Springfield Creamery, yet another serious sustainability step has been taken by installing a 63.5 KW Solar Electric System at our plant. This allows us to generate some of our own power with the generous assistance of the sun's rays. Check out how much solar power we are making and the resources we are saving – all in live!

Tale aims to draw an audience
A Tale of Two Cities goes for the heart
Wednesday, Feb 26, 2014 06:00 am
Coproduction between ELOPE Musical Theatre and Sherard Musical Theatre
Feb. 27 to March 8
Festival Place
100 Festival Way, Sherwood Park
Tickets: $24 to $29 call 780-449-3378 or online at www.ticketmaster.ca
During any given full-length rehearsal, 13-year-old Sage Jepson kicks the bucket about three times.
�I die quite a lot in this show,� chuckles Jepson, who plays a small, but pivotal role in the upcoming musical A Tale of Two Cities, opening at Festival Place Thursday for a 10-day run.
�I�ve never died in a show before so it�s pretty cool to learn to fake a death while you�re singing,� he said.
The scene is the French Revolution. Jepson is cast in several chorus roles as well as playing The Young Man, a youth who tries to save his sister from being raped. For his trouble he is stabbed with a mortal wound.
�It�s pretty hard trying to use your energy to sing and make it look like you�ve been stabbed in the stomach,� he said.
His technique is simple.
�I try to take short breaths where I don�t need them and just pretend to die.�
A Grade 8 student at Victoria School of Performing Arts, Jepson also hones his chops with St. Albert Children�s Theatre. Since 2010 he�s performed in seven musicals that have included Peter Pan, Legally Blonde and Shrek.
But like most junior high actors, Jepson is excited about playing against the backdrop of war.
�I�ve been learning about the French Revolution in social studies. Learning about the war aspect and cities fighting each other is kind of cool.�
Indeed it is. Jill Santoriello�s adaptation from Charles Dickens� masterpiece has it all � love, vengeance, villainy, valour and redemption.
A Tale of Two Cities focuses on the love triangle between the young beauty Lucie Manette, French aristocrat Charles Darnay and drunken English cynic Sydney Carton � all unwittingly caught in the clutches of the bloody French Revolution.
In the co-production between ELOPE Musical Theatre and Sherard Musical Theatre, there was only one man tapped to direct this revolutionary period piece of epic proportions.
Renaissance man Timothy Anderson was brought on board. An opera singer, actor, playwright, novelist, designer and educator, Anderson is an astute intellectual who intuitively comprehends every aspect of theatre.
�Jill Santoriello did an amazing job of capturing so much of that story. And she gave us permission to find our own interpretation,� commented Anderson.
In assembling his team, he brought on board musical director Sally Hunt, choreographer Jake Hastey, a risk-taking cast of 35 and a powerful orchestra.
�We�ve gone for the heart and not presented just the surface. It�s the way the political and social reverberates with the personal. So many people are caught in a political-social situation not of their intention.�
And in the highly-politicized society since 9/11, Anderson sees numerous similarities to the revolution.
�England and France are not really the focus. It�s just accidental that the story takes place in England and France. It�s about how turmoil affects an English family. It�s about people that are nearly refugees. They are brought back into a turmoil that is so current.�
He cites the topical example of Canadian-Egyptian ex-CNN journalist Mohamed Fahmy, who was arrested in late December. Working as an al-Jazeera English journalist, Fahmy was arrested along with 20 other people and accused of conspiring with the Muslim Brotherhood to tarnish Egypt�s international reputation. However, the process has been far from transparent.
To provide focus for A Tale�s interpretation, Anderson chose to dispense with big, massive sets that can at times overpower a production.
Instead the audience will see 22-foot conical webs made from rope that look like ships� rigging and can be interpreted as spider webs.
�The vision of the rope came to me instantly. I�m a parallel thinker and I trust my instincts,� Anderson said.
On an unusual note, Santoriello will attend the musical�s opening night; a gesture playwrights rarely perform.
�I hope to offer Jill some insights in the way she has given us an incredible gift. I hope it�s a two-way exchange so she can see something new in the work.�
�And I want the audience to feel changed. I want them to enjoy it, but not just as an observer, but to be drawn in.�

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 7/1/2013 (1689 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A recently reborn music school is enjoying the sweet sounds of success in teaching kids about a different style of music.
The Prairie Community Youth School of Pipes and Drums Inc., which operates out of Freight House at 200 Isabel St., is now in its second year of operation under its current name. The school was opened to provide inner-city youth with opportunities to learn the craft of playing instruments such as the highland bagpipe, pipe band side drumming, and tenor and bass.
Leading the charge is executive director Ken Boath, who has 42 years of pipe and drum experience. A former cadets music instructor of 30 years, Boath decided to head up the new school so he could pass on his passion for music to a younger generation.
"I figured there was a need for a program for civilian kids, especially in our neighbourhood. The kids don't have the same advantages, or are afraid to join cadets for whatever reason," Boath said.
"So I opened the school at the Freight House... to develop a music school for kids."
Boath and the school's other executive members have spent a considerable amount of time ensuring the school receives the financial support it needs. One of those fundraisers is Shandra Bast, who works tirelessly to secure money for the program.
"We go after grant funding," Bast said, adding she is also in charge of a meat draw, and CIBC organizes a book drive to help the school.
The end result is a low-cost program which teaches kids how to play music without having to dig too deeply into their own pockets to pay for it.
"Our school is built on the premise that the school absorbs most of the cost," Boath said.
"We try to keep the costs extremely low or minimal. In some cases we'll even absorb the cost of their practice instruments if the proof is there they don't have the financial means."
Boath said the school takes a somewhat regimented approach to teaching young people. It's an approach which demands respect from both teachers and students, and rewards dedication with prestigious positions in the school's bands, he said.
"The pipe major's position, which is the lead person, is one of the students. Even when I play in the band, I follow under their domain," he said.
"We teach leadership through this style of training... You have to earn, through experience, knowledge and dedication, the right (to be in) those positions."
That tactic seems to be paying off. The school participates in every band competition it can, including the Winnipeg and Selkirk highland festivals, and the results have been mostly positive. This past year, it produced three grand supreme champions.
"That means the students would have accumulated the most amount of points in all the competitions for the entire season to be the best in their grade," Boath said.
It's also part of the criteria to eventually go from student to teacher, since Boath feels being a teacher provides special insight which can inform an individual's own musical skills.
The school runs from September to mid-May, and has an open-door policy for newcomers. Boath said they encourage interested parties to come by for the day, see all the instruments, and then make a decision if, and what, they want to play.
Boath hopes the school can eventually be seen as a beacon of opportunity for local youth.
"The big dream is the school establishes itself firmly in the neighbourhood and lets kids know they could achieve things, through music, they didn't think they were able to," he said.
"Music is a great enhancement, it has been in my life."
Practices run every Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Door 1 of Freight House.

Pedestrian dies after morning accident on south Broadway
EUREKA- An 80-year-old pedestrian hit on south Broadway has died as a result of his injuries. The elderly Eureka resident was crossing the street when he was hit by a Dodge Ram 2500 pick-up truck around 8 a.m. Tuesday morning.
The 60-year-old Arcata driver was traveling southbound in heavy morning traffic when, for unknown reasons, the driver hit him as he was crossing the highway. The cause of the accident is still under investigation by the Eureka Police Department.
Following the accident the victim was taken to St. Joseph Hospital with major life threatening injuries, which he later succumbed to said Senior Traffic Officer Gary Whitmer. Whitmer said the wet road conditions do not appear to have played a factor in the crash. The victim and the driver did not appear to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the crash.

My Dad is a picker. He has worked at a junkyard just north of NYC as long as I can remember. This shop was started with some of his excellent finds - vintage street signs and other items of the same ilk.
I've since moved to Colorado, and unfortunately all of the wonderful rusty, weathered (and heavy) items had to stay in New York. While they will make a come back one day, for now, this shop is in transition.
Luckily, I was fortunate enough to inherit my Dad's eye for treasure, and the love of the hunt - only for me it's fashion.
And so, for the time being, this shop will feature vintage finds from the Rocky Mountain area, and maybe some pieces that have migrated west with me.

Suzanne Vega to Perform at Lincoln Theatre, 2/19
Widely regarded as one of the most brilliant songwriters of her generation, Suzanne Vega emerged as a leading figure of the folk-music revival of the early 1980s when, accompanying herself on acoustic guitar, she sang what has been labeled contemporary folk or neo-folk songs of her own creation in Greenwich Village clubs. Since the release of her self-titled, critically acclaimed 1985 debut album, she has given sold-out concerts in many of the world's best-known halls. In performances devoid of outward drama that nevertheless convey deep emotion, Vega sings in a distinctive, clear vibrato-less voice that has been described as "a cool, dry, sandpaper-brushed near-whisper" and as "plaintive but disarmingly powerful."
CAPA presents Suzanne Vega with special guest Noah Chenfeld at the Lincoln Theatre (769 E. Long St.) on Tuesday, February 19, at 8pm. Tickets are $20 and $25 at the CAPA Ticket Center (39 E. State St.), all Ticketmaster outlets, and www.ticketmaster.com. To purchase tickets by phone, please call (614) 469-0939 or (800) 745-3000. Young people aged 13-25 may purchase $5 PNC Arts Alive All Access tickets while available. For more information, visit www.GoFor5.com.
Bearing the stamp of a masterful storyteller who "observed the world with a clinically poetic eye," Vega's songs have always tended to focus on city life, ordinary people, and real world subjects. Notably succinct and understated, often cerebral but also streetwise, her lyrics invite multiple interpretations. In short, Vega's work is immediately recognizable as utterly distinct and thoughtful, and as creative and musical now as it was when her voice was first heard on the radio more than 20 years ago.
Vega was born in Santa Monica, but grew up in Spanish Harlem and the Upper West Side of New York City. At age 11, she picked up a guitar, and as a teenager, started to write songs. She studied dance at the High School for the Performing Arts and later attended Barnard College. Receptionist by day, Vega was hanging out at the Greenwich Village Songwriter's Exchange by night. Soon she was playing iconic venues like The Bottom Line and Folk City. Audiences were catching on.
Her self-titled debut album was released in 1985. One million records later, it was clear that Vega's voice was resonating around the world. "Marlene on the Wall" was a surprise hit in the UK, and Rolling Stone eventually included it in their "100 Greatest Recordings of the 1980s."
1987's follow up, Solitude Standing, elevated her to star status. The album hit #2 in the UK, #11 in the US, was nominated for three Grammys including Record of the Year, and went platinum. "Luka" entered the cultural vernacular.
Suzanne co-produced the follow-up album, Days of Open Hand (1990), which won a Grammy for Best Album Package. Continuing to battle preconceptions, the sound of album 99.9F (1992) instigated descriptions such as "industrial folk" and "technofolk." Certified gold, 99.9F won a New York Music Award as Best Rock Album.
In 1996, Vega returned with the similarly audacious Nine Objects of Desire. "Woman on the Tier (I'll See You Through)" was released on the Dead Man Walking soundtrack. She has also been on the soundtracks to Pretty in Pink ("Left of Center" with Joe Jackson) and The Truth About Cats & Dogs. She has also contributed to the Disney compilation Stay Awake, Grateful Dead tribute Deadicated, Leonard Cohen tribute Tower of Song, and Pavarotti & Friends. In 1999, she published The Passionate Eye: The Collected Writings of Suzanne Vega, a volume of poems, lyrics, essays, and journalistic pieces. In 2001, she returned to her acoustic roots for her first new album in five years, the critics' favorite, Songs in Red and Gray.
Vega hosted the public radio series "American Mavericks," 13 hour-long programs featuring the histories and the music of the iconoclastic, contemporary classical composers who revolutionized the possibilities of new music. The show won the Peabody Award for Excellence in Broadcasting and went back into production in 2010 with Vega as its host.
In 2007, she released Beauty & Crime, a deeply personal reflection of her native New York City in the wake of the loss of her brother Tim and the tragedy of 9/11. Featuring songs such as "New York is a Woman" and "Ludlow Street," Beauty & Crime is that rare album that is as original and startling as her first. It was awarded a Grammy for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical.
In 2011, Suzanne premiered her own theater piece, Carson McCullers Talks About Love, at the Rattlestick Playwrights Theater. Based on the life of the acclaimed Southern gothic playwright, Carson McCullers was the author of The Heart is a Lonely Hunter.
2012 found Vega touring Asia and performing in the US on a co-bill with Duncan Sheik, as well as releasing the final disc in the Close Up Series and beginning work on a new studio album.
She has dedicated much of her time and energy to charitable causes such as Amnesty International, Casa Alianza, and the Save Darfur Coalition. For more about Suzanne, go to www.SuzanneVega.com.
Noah Chenfeld, 16, is a junior at Beacon High School in New York City. He performs his owns songs accompanying himself on piano and also leads the band The Box Story who have received more than 100,000 plays on YouTube, won a tri-state high school Grammy competition, and have played at a number of venues around New York including Webster Hall, Bowery Electric, Stephen Talkhouse, and The Bitter End.

BRADFORD on Avon head coach Dave George had resigned himself to a league title 'near-miss' until his side produced an astonishing late burst to clinch the Dorset & Wilts One North crown.
A final afternoon of league drama was heightened even further by injury delays which meant Bradford's match at Chippenham 2nd finished later than the other two matches involving championship contenders.
Trowbridge 2nd's narrow 8-7 victory over Supermarine knocked both of those clubs out of the equation, but Minety's bonus-point triumph at Melksham left them in pole position.
Heading deep into the final quarter at Chippenham, Bradford led by a solitary Dan Bright penalty but were a long way from scoring the four tries needed to claim the crown on points difference.
However, in an incredible final few minutes, Tom Arthur, Nick Abbott and Ben Sheppard all touched down before Ed Dawson crossed in the very last play of the game to send the title back to Ashley Lane.
George said: "I don't know how we could have left it any later. Our game overran by quite a long way and although we didn't know what was going on at Trowbridge, I knew the Minety score, as their captain Jack Ward had agreed to keep in touch.
"With 10 minutes to go I thought it was all over and I turned around to some of the guys (on the touchline) and said 'ah well, it's been a good season anyway.
"Then we started scoring and the last one came with the last play of the game.''
He added: "We were so short of time that Brighty was rushing back and taking drop-kicks for the conversions because we needed the tries.
"Then in the last play, we kicked through, their winger caught it and could have kicked it out to end the game, but he missed touch, Dan Tozer caught it and Ed Dawson went in unopposed. It was an amazing finish.''
Bradford lost second row Sean Hammerton and prop Mark Carnie to popped shoulders but Bright's penalty nosed them in front before the late drama.
Centre Tom Arthur took Dave Lamplough's pass to score the first try, Bright converting, before midfield partner Nick Abbott scored and then sent wing Ben Sheppard in for the third.
Then, in the final act, Dawson scored to wrap up the title and promotion to Southern Counties South.

I'm not sure how to design this part of my database but I can tell you how it will be on the front end part. Can someone help me with this?
The front end is going to look like this:
Testing Information For student A
| Time | Test 1 | Test 2 | Test 3 |
| 8:00 | 3 | 5 | 2 |
| 4:00 | 7 | 2 | 3 |
| 2:00 | 4 | 5 | 1 |
| 9:00 | 7 | 0 | 1 |
Depending which student is selected, the amount of tests can change, so student B could have Test 1-5 whereas student A has Test 1-3
Does this make sense?Basically, the table can expand both ways, there isn't a fixed amount of columns so I'm not sure how to record this or design it.
In the database I have a student table and a tests table. The tests table is linked with a many to one relationship. Each student can have many tests but each test can only have one student. I just don't know how to record this in the format of the table in the first post.
I notice also that each test seems to have multiple runs using different time values, so in addition to the students and tests tables, you'll probably also need a test_runs table.
| id | name | whatever_else |
| id | student_id | name |
| id | test_id | time | value |
Thanks, actually a buddy helped me out and I think we have it.
| id | name |
| id | name | student_id | other test information |
| id | time |
| tests_taken_id | tests_id | grade |
I think this works, see any problems with it?
too many ids are messing up your head
I don't follow, Rudy
you have...
the last two, explains them please
in particular, explain why they are different from each other
In short, the last two are foreign keys for relationships. I'm about to jump into a meeting for a couple hours so I'll try to answer this the best I can when I get out.
What is the purpose to have Tests_Taken table? Why not store time in Tests_Taken_Lookup table?which should have student_id, tests_id, grade and test_time
The table doesn't make much sense to me. Test 1, Test 2 and Test 3 happen to have the same duration on so many rows?
From what I understand you should have:
Student | Test | Time | Grade
which means- a table for Student: student_id, student_name, - a table for Test: test_id, test_name - a table for Test_Taken: student_id, test_id, test_time, test_grade
Testing Information For student A
| Time | Grade |
| 8:00 | 3 |
| 4:00 | 7 |
| 2:00 | 4 |
| 9:00 | 7 |
| Time | Grade |
| 8:00 | 5 |
| 4:00 | 2 |
| 2:00 | 5 |
| 9:00 | 0 |
| Time | Grade |
| 8:00 | 2 |
| 4:00 | 3 |
| 2:00 | 1 |
| 9:00 | 1 |
Obviously each test would have different durations, I just copy/paste it.
The above shows you need a date and a time also, since duration of the test is not enough if you need further differentiation.
EDITIt just dawned on me what you probably mean and want:
Yup. Rudy's pointed them out, but I think there's a conceptual problem here, and things are getting messed up.
From what I can see, you only need three tables. Two which define your entities (tests and students) and one that essentially shows how they are related.
So you need to determine
Thanks for all your responses, I've been busy today so I haven't been able to come back at this issue but I'm going to take another stab at it tonight with the suggestions posted and I'll update in the morning.
Agreed with Dave. Only 3 tables need it
Oh, actually the time is the time the test was taken and not the test duration.
I just had to look at it from a different perspective and this is exactly the way I concluded the design thanks to both Rudy and yourself. I did not in fact need four tables, just 3.
My final design looks like this:
id | name
id | name |
students_id | tests_id | time
Much better, and makes more logical sense, doesn't it?
Sure does!
... awesome :award:
you really took "too many ids are messing up your head" seriously, thanks
now there are just enough ids
like dj albert said, "make things as simple as possible, but no simpler, dawg"

HE leads the club's scoring chart, has created more goals and had more shots than anyone else in the Championship.
And he has been trusted as a game-changer by consecutive managers.
So why then have Wanderers fans seemingly fallen out of love with Chris Eagles?
In a season lacking consistency of any kind whatsoever, the mercurial number seven stood for a long time as the club's only shining light.
After scoring six goals in his first 12 starts, supporters voted the former Manchester United man as their player of the month on three consecutive occasions.
Although Wanderers were labouring after relegation, Eagles seemed to be buzzing with confidence at a level on which he had already excelled in his days at Burnley.
If the Whites were to get out of their malaise, then the smart money was on him to be the catalyst.
How then, if we fast-forward four months, have we got to the stage where a decision to substitute the 27-year-old is being celebrated with cynical cheers from the some sections of the stands?
Some speculate that Eagles' association with former boss Owen Coyle has made him an easier target – something that could also apply to full-back Tyrone Mears, who arrived in a joint £3million deal from Turf Moor two summers back.
Both have suffered for form at varying stages but it is unfair to label either player "Coyle's man" as both have also found important roles under his successor.
Freedman made little secret of his desire to work with Eagles, who would be the only player name-checked in his first press conference after taking over the reins.
"I think he's still young enough, he's got a spark in his eye that says he wants to do well," said the Scot. "And I mention him because I believe if we can get him firing the right way then he will be a key to our success. He's one of many names that I look forward to working with."
Freedman has stayed true to his word and has named Eagles in every league game since. Only Adam Bogdan has started more times in the Championship this season but those who speculate that physical fatigue is the issue may well under-estimate the meticulous degree to which players' fitness is measured at Euxton these days.
Very little gets through the net in that respect.
Eagles made an impressive 57 appearances in all competitions in the 2008-9 season, so history suggests he can handle the workload.
Confidence does not show up in the statistics, however, and it is clear the swagger that Eagles possessed earlier in the campaign has all-but gone from his game, even if his attitude remains desperate to put things right.
Freedman has stayed loyal to his man but may well have had his hand forced because of the continued absence of Mark Davies.
If anyone else in the team possesses the kind of game-changing ability that Eagles has at his best, then it is the fleet-footed Midlander, who has been out since December with shoulder ligament damage. His recent return to full training may well be a watershed moment, and an opportunity for the manager to give Eagles a few moments out of the spotlight.
It has been a very public fall from grace, but is it a fair one? The numbers continue to back up his inclusion in the team, and at time of writing, his 12 assists and 118 shots at goal were still a high in the division.
No-one has yet surpassed Eagles' seven goals despite his three-month dry spell, and in the build-up to games, his name crops up in opposition interviews more often than any other.
Should Wanderers' fans be showing him a little more love?

Remembering Revolver's pioneering spirit and risk-taking marketing innovations, as well as wondering what went wrong at the beleaguered UK distributor.
Requiem for Revolver
This week Screen reported the news, being rumoured for weeks, that Revolver Entertainment has shut its doors (its office was empty, although the company is not in administration as of press time).
If Revolver is indeed shuttered, this is bad news for the UK distribution sector. Even most of Revolver's closest competitors have been saying how sad the news is, without any hint of schadenfreude.
Revolver was always a break-the-mould company. Justin Marciano started the business in 1997 with just £1,000 of his own money, producing motorcycle videos before moving into other types of profitable video deals (Darrin's Dance Grooves sold more than 120,000 units in 2002, for instance).
The first theatrical release came in 2004 with surfing film Billabong Odyssey. Kidulthood followed in 2006 — it didn't set any box office records, but it showed Revolver's envelope-pushing PR and marketing prowess, with a now-infamous billboard depicting Tony Blair and his cabinet as a group of hoodies [pictured]. In 2007, the company had a smash with French hit Tell No One earning £1.2m.
Their Gunslinger production arm took risks on films that nobody else was making, and serving audiences that other distributors weren't finding ways to engage. Anuvahood really connected with young UK audiences, and offerings like Sket and Shank introduced new filmmaking voices that might not have gotten a break elsewhere.
Revolver recently struck a smart buying partnership with Picturehouse, and jointly worked on the successful release of The Imposter, which went on to win a BAFTA.
The company also took pushed the boat in the digital arena with apps and social networking promotions, and creation of the Facebook tool FindWatchShare.
The distributor has been nominated for several Screen UK Marketing & Distribution Awards over the years, and won the 2012 award for best DVD campaign for Iron Sky. Revolver won a slew awards from Home Entertainment Week, the British Video Association, Summit International Awards and Social Buzz.
Yet we can't ignore that Revolver wasn't perfect, and there are financial reasons it is now being shut down.
What went wrong? Some factors could be egos at work, overpaying for product, having offices that were too flash, a staff that was too large (40 employees), and for more mundane factors like the DVD market drying up (does beleaguered HMV owe Revolver money?) and the company's widest-ever release, Ben Drew's iLL Manors, not performing as well as expected at the UK box office.
Branching out in the US might have also spread the company too thin. Justin Marciano certainly has a larger-than-life personality that sometimes rubbed people the wrong way, both internal staff and the wider industry.
Yet nobody could say that people working at Revolver were just phoning it in. They were working hard, they were passionate and they were writing their own rules.
There were many, many dedicated and talented people who worked there and I hope they will all land safely on their feet at other companies or set up their own businesses.
The legacy of Revolver isn't just a sad end with financial trouble, it's also their creative and innovative work for more than 15 years.
Readers' comments (9)
Make. Stuff. Enough. People. Want. To See.
Like so many independent distributors in the UK they had success with one film and over expanded spending money that they didn't have and the success they had wasn't repeated.
Over the last 20 years so many independent distributors have set up operations within the UK promising so much but either ran before they could walk or been swallowed up by bigger international companies.
In the years ahead the UK market will become even harder for the independent market as in with companies like Studiocanal & Lions Gate acquiring small distributors and the merger of Eone with Momentum it will be very tough for any other independent distributor to break in to the UK marketplace and they will be fighting over the scraps that the heavyweight independent distributors don't acquire or looking much wider for films to fill out their release slates.
I was at their Holland Park offices once for a meeting, and it really was wow! One meeting room decorated with their release posters sticks in the memory - and a spacious courtyard which must have been great for lunch in summer. But I came away wondering how they could possibly pay for it all!
when you. know how. to do that. ring me.
Very sad time in the UK. With Eone buying Alliance (Which will be bought by a studio or implode) its just rough. We should find a way to take care of the UK distributors. I'm surprised the UK govt, isn't stepping in to help..
Completely disagree with the post from Digital Services UK above. Although it is a sad time for UK distribution because of the demise of Revolver and Momentum following that of Pathé Distribution and Icon, it is a time of opportunity in the sector. A lot of people are plotting to fill the wide gap in the UK distribution landscape and I rather predict the years to come to be difficult because of a sudden bottle-neck of new companies, but that will be after a golden period! It looks a bit like the late 90s when Momentum, Redbus and Optimum filled the gap and I wouldn't say that these three being "swallowed up" is a proof of failure, quite the opposite!
Revolver will not be missed - Gunslinger even less so.
yes, the arguments from friends of mine are that Revolver did not pay people but they gave the opportunity for movies to be released that would otherwise be stuck in development hell. History always repeats itself, look at Palace Pictures, Miramax, Hemdale Films.... they were bad payers but bold visionaries.
In an ideal world we need honesty but unfortunately the industry is full of sharks....
better the devil you know
It is clearly a negative thing that an innovative UK Film Distribution company has suffered ,alas it leaves the doors open for the new generation of business thinkers to set up an evolved business model that works in synergy with the new technological avenues that have emerged; and therefore explore profitable methods of distributing via digital means. There is a reason far simpler for Revolvers demise, Operating above their means for the sake of image and of course specific Senior Directors that did not inspire loyalty of their team hence the continues very high turnover of staff.

ORLANDO, Fla. - The weather cleared just in time for the fireworks at the fountain at Lake Eola in downtown Orlando.
The annual Fireworks by the Fountain at Lake Eola kicked off Thursday afternoon for the Fourth of July holiday.
Jeffrey Ewing and his friends say it was all worth it, sitting in the rain to keep their spot on Lake Eola to see the fireworks.
"Cardboard boxes, big umbrellas, kind of huddled up together, you know, do what you've got to do," he said. "We're not leaving, you kidding? We're right here -- front row."
Ewing is one of hundreds who waited patiently for the rain to stop, standing under tents, umbrellas, and business awnings to stay dry.
"I don't want to mingle with the crowd, too much, I've got the two kids so it's easy to get out," said Terry Rambarran, who came to the lake to see the fireworks with his family.
Thousands attended the festivities, which included entertainment, beer and wine gardens and children's activities.
Once the rain cleared, the music and fun continued.

If AJ Mason hopes he taught the Williamstown Demons baseball players one thing it is to "never give up."
The Demons amassed a 4 - 20 record this season, with Mason in his third year as head coach.
Mason said a high point for the team was winning the first round of the All "A" tournament and the low point was not advancing in district play.

LANSING, Mich. - The Michigan Department of Community Health (MDCH) on Tuesday said it had confirmed four cases of influenza, the first identified by the state for the 2013-2014 flu season.
The illnesses occurred in both children and adults, from two Southeast Michigan counties.
Three cases have been confirmed as influenza A(H1N1) 2009 viruses and one as an influenza A(H3N2) virus.
Special section: Influenza prevention
The state said it's still too early to tell what influenza viruses will circulate during this influenza season or how severe the season will be.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports Michigan's flu activity as "sporadic," the second lowest of five influenza activity categories the federal government tracks. Nationally, a mix of sporadic influenza viruses have been detected during the past month.
What is flu season: Flu activity typically peaks in late January through February, but can sometimes peak earlier or later, depending on the strain of flu and severity of the season. Because of the unpredictability of each flu season, it is important to get vaccinated early before flu activity is widespread in the community. It takes about two weeks from the time of flu vaccination to develop protection, so no one should delay getting immunized.
What is the flu: The flu is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses. It can cause mild to severe illness, and at times can lead to death. The flu is much more serious than the common cold but can be easily prevented. An annual flu vaccine is the single best way to protect against influenza.
Options for the vaccine: For the first time there are more options for the flu vaccine available. Previously, flu vaccines only protected against three types of influenza virus but this year, some of the vaccines will protect against four strains. Health care providers should have ample supply of vaccine.
Everyone 6 months of age and older is recommended by CDC to receive an annual seasonal flu vaccine. Vaccination is especially important for those at high risk for serious flu complications, including older people, pregnant women, children who are 6 months through 18 years of age, people with certain health conditions, as well as contacts of high risk individuals - new parents, health care professionals, household members, and caregivers.
MDCH's Vaccines for Children (VFC) program gives childhood vaccines to eligible children in families who are in need of affordable immunizations. In VFC, doctors and clinics enroll in VFC and give vaccines to children who qualify. Check with your doctor or your local health department to see if they participate in the VFC program. For more information on the VFC program, visit www.michigan.gov/vfc.
Residents can call their physician, local health department, or check the Health Map Vaccine Finder at http://flushot.healthmap.org/ to find nearby influenza vaccination locations. For more information, visit www.michigan.gov/flu.

San Jacinto Day Festival, Battle Re-Enactment Will Be April 23
LA PORTE, Texas – The San Jacinto Day Festival will be held April 23 to celebrate the 169th anniversary of the battle that earned Texas' independence from Mexico in 1836.
The historic Battle of San Jacinto will be commemorated with a two-hour re-enactment, complete with hundreds of uniform-clad, musket-toting performers re-creating everything from the Runaway Scrape — when Texian settlers fled to the east to escape advancing Mexican troops — to the surrender of Gen. Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna to Gen. Sam Houston and his troops on April 21, 1836.
The Saturday festival lasts from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and admission to the San Jacinto Monument and the San Jacinto Battleground State Historic Site is free. It takes place on the original site of the battle, 22 miles east of downtown Houston. The re-enactment begins at 3 p.m. Lawn chairs and blankets will be allowed.
In addition to the battle, visitors can freely explore both Mexican and Texian "camps" and learn about military and civilian life during the 1830s.
Horses, cannons, pyrotechnics, and narration will also be part of the performance. Vendors, known as "sutlers" in the 1800s when they sold their products at military posts, will be on hand throughout the grounds to sell and demonstrate their goods for the public.
Other events during this year's festival include master symphony musician Dean Shostak playing a fiddle purportedly owned by Davy Crockett, history activities and crafts for children, and a dig site hosted by the Houston Archeological Society, where visitors can search for artifacts. Children can also participate in 1830s games.
Historian Dan Barth will host a performance with audience participation using a full-sized antique medicine show wagon, and revisionist historian Jim Crisp will discuss the "true identity" of the Yellow Rose of Texas.
Texas-style foods and beverages will be offered for sale at the park. K. R. Woods and the Fathers of Texas Band will provide period musical entertainment. Parking is available, with shuttle buses transporting park visitors from designated areas throughout the day.
On April 21, state Rep. Wayne Smith will be the keynote speaker at the traditional San Jacinto Day ceremony to be held at 11 a.m. on the steps of the San Jacinto Monument. Ron Stone will serve as the master of ceremonies.
In conjunction with the festival, the Battle of San Jacinto Symposium will be held on April 16 at the Hilton Hotel and Conference Center in Houston. Several speakers will lecture on various topics related to this turning point in Texas history. The symposium lasts from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., with on-site registration beginning at 8:30 a.m. For more information on the symposium, call (281) 496-1488.
The festival is hosted by Kirby Corp., the San Jacinto Museum of History Association, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and the San Jacinto Volunteers.
For more information, please call (281) 479-2421.

Did you know?
Leatherback turtles dive deeper and are far larger than any other turtles.
On your turtle-tracking safari, one question your guide cannot answer is how, each year, these creatures navigate thousands of sea miles and return instinctively to the same beaches where they hatched.
Quick-witted nature lovers quip that being female, the turtle's not afraid to stop and ask for directions, but this nesting ritual is a mystery that still baffles marine scientists.
When going on a turtle tour, choose a licensed operator. There are a number of authorised concessions in the iSimangaliso Wetland Park.
Turtle tours can be taken at Cape Vidal, Manzengwenya (guests of Rocktail Beach Camp only), Mabibi (guests of Thonga Beach Lodge or Mabibi campsite only) and Kosi Bay. The concession at Sodwana Bay, operated by Phinda Private Game Reserve, is open to both lodge and non-lodge guests.
Patience and luck are required when tracking sea turtles. Tours commence in the late afternoon, or after sunset. Operators may only be on the beaches two hours before, and two hours after low tide, meaning tours can last from two to seven hours.
During your turtle safari, you'll see little other wildlife besides scurrying ghost crabs, and the fleeting shadows of bats and seabirds in the 4x4's headlights.
Since even a passing lighthouse beam can deter the turtle from leaving the safety of the surf, if your guide spots a turtle mom slogging-it up the beach to a suitable nesting site above the high tide mark, it's lights off, except for the guide's torch.
For some guests, this aspect of a turtle tour can be frustrating, as they're unaccustomed to spending prolonged periods in darkness. Whether the female is exiting the sea, or returning to the ocean, it's only permissible to illuminate her from behind, preferably using infrared beams.
While she's in the egg-laying 'trance', discreet lighting is allowed. Usually, it's not possible to take photos because the camera flashes could unsettle the female, and it's vital she's not deterred from fulfilling her mission.
Another aspect of a turtle-tracking safari, is seeking out baby turtles as they hatch. It's an awe-inspiring, sometimes heartbreaking experience watching the tiny turtles make a valiant dash for the ocean, all the while beset by sea birds, predators, and ghost crabs.
It's believed only four in every 1 000 turtle hatchlings survives to maturity, so whether you've observed a female laying eggs, or witnessed the next generation's heroic bid to reach the sea, you've been party to one of Maputaland's timeless miracles.
