I created a website template using HTML and CSS so that the design lays flush against the top of the page.
I have since inserted lots of PHP into it (and used some 'includes') and now an unwanted margin has appeared above the body of the web page. This could be easily fixed using a bit of CSS to absorb the margin, i.e.
body {margin-top: -20px;}
However, the size of the margin differs depending on the browser you are using:-Google Chrome, Safari: 20px marginFirefix, Opera: 26px marginInternet Explorer: Everything is completely messed up using IE!
I can't figure out what is causing this margin to appear, or how to remedy the problem with a single fix for both sets of browsers (I'm not going to worry about IE for the time being given the whole design has been inexplicably skewed).
Any help gratefully received,
Have you tried highlighting to make sure it's not throwing a PHP error at you, but your text color is the same as your background so you dont see it?
Does your live page validate? I have often found errors by using the W3C validator. Once you locate an error, you can look at the code to locate the include that may be causing the problem.
I've been receiving other PHP error notifications on occasion and they present themselves easily enough.
I'm building it all offline so maybe when it comes to validate the page the solution will present itself.
Thanks both!
try to start your css at most of the time with
body {margin:0; padding:0;......
it will fix alot of unwanted results.
View the source of the page, check nothing is being sent to the browser before the <html> tag.
Hi canabatz. I use the below piece of CSS for my site which does pretty much the same as the above piece of CSS and has worked fine until I started inserting PHP.
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
Hi TomB - The <html> tag is the first thing that appears in the page source:-
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN">
In the actual code I'm putting some 'includes' in beforehand (named 'helpers'), but these don't show up on the page source and shouldn't interfere with the actual display of the page. Kevin Yank's book instructed me that I could put these before the <html> tags:
function html($text)
return htmlspecialchars($text, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
function htmlout($text)
echo html($text);
It definitely sounds like something is being added to the page output somewhere. As CSU-Bill says it's worth running it through the W3C validator (or using the excellent HTML Validator plugin for Firefox). If you're working offline you can copy and paste into the validator:
Alternatively post the HTML that is outputted by PHP here and we can check it out.
Cheers Martin - I'll give the validator a whirl in the first instance but if I'm still wanting I'll be sure to show you the HTML code. Thanks again, Andy.
One tip is not to use the closing-tag (?>) at the end of your PHP file.
If you accidentally enter a space or newline at the end of the file AFTER this tag, it will be outputted to the browser, which might be causing some strange margin at the top.
Might be worth going through all of your files and removing the closing-tag. I've been avoiding its use for some time now.
Thanks Jamie,
I'm guessing that is just the final (?>) at the end of the PHP index file rather than all the individual pieces of PHP inserted into other HTML files?
Yes, it's the final ?> closing tag at the end of any php file.
Open the resulting html code in your browser, and confront it with the original html code (the one without any php code inserted). You should see something different.Or use FF and the Firebug extension to see what exactly is causing that unwanted margin. From there you should be able to establish the source of the unwanted element.
Hey guys,
I have deduced it may have something to do with the opening DOCTYPE at the top of the HTML code.
Normally I use the below and the margin would appear, but remain empty.
<?php include_once $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] .
'/includes/helpers.inc.php'; ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
But if I position the brackets so as to separate different portions of the DOCTYPE, as below, then the following appears as unformatted text, fitting very snugly in that margin:-
<?php include_once $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] .
'/includes/helpers.inc.php'; ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
And thinking about it, sometimes PHP error messages appear in the margin (ones that are unanticipated and aren't displayed using the 'echo $error' command), and sometimes exceed the 20px margin if it is a particularly lengthy one explaining several errors, pushing the margin down and making it as large as it needs to be so as to accommodate the message.
Does that give any clues as to how to cancel out the margin?
Thanks guys,
I had to use Notepad++ and use apply this option from the Encoding drop-down menu to the affected files: Convert to UTF-8 without BOM.

I'm always up for a party! Especially, if I know I'm going to be hanging around with some of my best buddies here in my city of Los Angeles. This was definitely the case when I headed out to Marie, The Curvy Fashionista's, four-year blog anniversary celebration! Take a look at my pics below.
Once again, I've had to suffer at the hands of my iPhone camera because of my camera lens being a brat! I know there are more pics out there, but this is all I had on my phone. Just check out the #TCFTurns4 hash tag on Instagram and Twitter and you'll see lots!
I am rocking IGIGI'S Lubov dress in Royal/Coral, courtesy of IGIGI. I felt so amazing in it and I got so many compliments from the guys and gals! At first I wasn't sure of pairing the opaque tights, but it was chilly out so I chanced it. I loved the look. Not pictured was my orange clutch. There were a lot of women wearing IGIGI that night! I noticed so many dresses. For me, the length and fit is perfect!

Rihanna Cover Shoot
The annual family excursion to Los Angeles (the family being me, my wife, Anne, and my 14-year-old son, Harry) was doubly jam-packed this year. I usually have a star or two to style at the Oscars, but during this visit, the Vera Wang store (8445 Melrose Ave.) was also opening, and as president of the company I had to make sure things went without a hitch. I left New York in a late-winter blizzard, so with the airports closed, my only option was a private jet.
Even if you haven't been to this city, you'd still recognize the Beverly Wilshire Beverly Hills Four Seasons—from its role in Pretty Woman. At the top of Rodeo Drive, this 1928 historic marble masterpiece is sublime L.A. Everyone who's anyone stayed or stays here, from John Lennon to Beyoncé, but you'd never know it from the hushed, calm lobby.

Sweet & Spiked Grilled Summer Fruit Desserts
While cupcakes, ice cream treats and brownies are some of our favorite dessert recipes for BBQs or other outdoor celebrations, it's sometimes nice to keep things easier.
While cupcakes, ice cream treats and brownies are some of our favorite dessert recipes for BBQs or other outdoor celebrations, it's sometimes nice to keep things easier.
All those desserts require quite a bit of prep work, but if you're bringing your summer party to a park or other non-backyard spot, they also become a hassle to transport.
Enter, grilled fruit. If you've never grilled your fruit before, you're missing out! The natural sugars and texture of many fruits lend themselves easily to grilling, but also become infused with more concentrated flavor then if eaten cold.
The best fruit to grill is sturdier and harder in texture, like apples, pineapples or pears. These fruits hold up on the grill much better than say, bananas, peaches or plums.
For your next picnic or BBQ, skip the make-ahead dessert recipes and try out this grilled fruit treat. You can eat them on their own, with a bit of cream or like we did, over some plain vanilla ice cream that can be popped right into a cooler and brought along without much hassle.
To add even more flavor, consider marinating your fruit in alcohol.
We've used tequila and lime, vodka and orange, and most recently went bolder with Van Gogh's Peanut Butter & Jelly Vodka. We were a little skeptical about such a crazy flavor, but it worked SO perfectly with the grilled fruit, enhancing the natural flavor pairing.
How to Grill Fruit:
1. Slice your fruit into thick pieces with a flat surface to grill.
2. If spiking, marinate your fruit for about 20 minutes in whatever alcohol you're using. The Peanut Butter & Jelly vodka worked well with our grilled apples. We cut ours into thick slices and pour just enough so the surface is coated.
3. Make sure your grill is nice and hot.
4. If not marinating, lightly coat fruit surface with fruity olive oil.
5. Grill until surface is caramelized.

Topic: Update on our son, Jeff
Hi CC Family,
Since our last post, Jeff has had 4 chemo infusions of Taxol at 3 week intervals. His next PET/CT scan is set for this Friday. We are hoping and praying for some favorable test results.
In mid-May, we were blessed to be able to take Jeff to Hawaii. He used his wheelchair (which he has named "hot wheels") most of the time. While he wasn't able to get up and do the hula, he was able to enjoy an occassional mai tai with his family and friends. He had a wonderful time and we have treasured memories of our time with Jeff.
His last infusion was on 5/30 and at that time, his WBC count was elevated and his Calcium levels were way way up. He needed extra hydration and a calcium bonding agent called Zometa biophosphate. When we went back for another blood draw on 6/3, his blood levels were back to normal.
Nancy and I have seen a gradual increase in Jeff's symptoms with fatigue, nausea and some pain. Still, he has an amazing positive attitude. He is continuing to go to work, most days, but isn't able to get around as easily.
Jeff is an amazing man of Faith. Whenever he sees or hears of someone not feeling well, he always says a little prayer for them. It is just touching to see this young developmentally disabled young man, who has lost most of his hair from chemo, nauseous, fatigued and in pain, sitting in his wheelchair praying for others and being concerned for others well-being.
Bob & Nancy

Tower of TerrorLogic puzzles require you to think. You will have to be logical in your reasoning.
Swaff was traveling in an elevator, being cool, when he suddenly heard the cord supporting the elevator snap. Being the cool guy that he is, he knew of a myth where if you could jump at the right time, you could possibly be able to survive a plunge in an elevator.
Now, when Swaff was a boy, he spent all of his math classes making fun of his female teacher's moustache. He never paid attention, so he was a tad bit slow in his mathematical calculations. He did, however, have a very bizarre talent, in which he could tell the exact speed he was traveling. That came in pretty lucky today.
Swaff knew he was falling at an even rate of 50 miles per hour. When the cord snapped, he was exactly 110 feet above the ground. He knew that he must jump at the right time to have any hopes of surviving.
Now, after doing the math, please tell me when Swaff jumped.
AnswerHe never did. By the time Swaff figured out that he would have to jump in 1.5 seconds, he would already be dead. Not even the best of mathematicians could do all the math needed in 1 and a half seconds. Swaff fell to his death, only to later be reincarnated by his magical brother Geemiee.
Yay for Geemiee.

Youth Gangs
Examples of Gang Markings
In 1997, as gang related incidents began to occur more frequently, the police department formally targeted youth gang crime as a priority. At that time, the police department instituted the gang investigations unit. This unit was the first of its kind in the Northern Virginia area and continues to serve as a resource for information and training to other regional law enforcement agencies. Fairfax County's gang unit has 11 full-time sworn personnel dedicated to investigating gang activity.
To report suspected gang activity in Fairfax County call 703-691-2131 or in an emergency dial 911. Certain reports may be filed online.
The gang unit provides gang awareness presentations to citizen groups, school organizations, governmental bodies and other police departments. In addition to the gang unit, the police department has several proactive gang interdiction programs. To request a presentation please firstname.lastname@example.com.
The police department also actively confronts criminal street gang activity with several education and public service programs including
- Public education and awareness programs and presentations;
- Gang activity awareness training to school resource officers (SROs) and Fairfax County public school personnel each August, prior to the start of school;
- SROs at all middle and high schools who are involved in numerous activities to prevent youth gang involvement;
- School Resource Officers and seventh and eight grade public school teachers, team teaching selected lessons in the Family Life Education "Healthy Choices" curriculum.
- Youth mentoring programs in schools and in the community;
- Community organized graffiti removal programs;
- Gang coordinators at each district station share local information with the gang unit and provide presentations to the community;
- Active participation and leadership of police department personnel in forums, boards and commissions related to youth violence and gang crime.
In 2003, funding from the United States Congress, through Congressman Frank Wolf, enabled the creation of the Northern Virginia Gang Task Force. This unit bridges the efforts of our gang investigations unit with partners from the metro region including representatives from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), and United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (US-ICE). The result is a coordinated law enforcement and public information effort to combat gang activity.
To report information regarding gang related crime to the Northern Virginia Gang Task Force call 1-866-NO-GANGS (1-866-664-2647). This is a recording only and you may remain anonymous.
Learn more about gangs in our frequently asked questions page.

>Cross Training>Do I push through "Dead Legs" from XTraining
Follower of Forrest
I am coming off 2.5 weeks off for a foot tendonitis issue and I feel like my foot is 100%. After a couple of "testing the foot" runs, I added in a cross training body weight exercise routine. I felt fine before starting the xtraining, but on my last 2 runs I have had that heavy "lead legs" feeling.
My question is, should I push through the "dead legs" and continue doing the xtraining? I am not doing any speedwork or quality runs right now, just working on building back my mileage.
The xtrain routine is an adaptation of the "Iron Strength" workout that was posted at some point on RW
2 min warmup; 30s jumping jacks, 30s squats, 30s lunges, 30s jumping jacks
3 sets 10 squat jumps
2 min; 15 row from plank*, 15 push ups, 15 sit ups (continue for 2 min)
2 min: 15 jump lunges, 15 One leg jump squats (continue for 2 min)
2 min: 20 mountain climbers, 10 legs down (continue for 2 min)
2 min: 15 Dead lift high pulls*, 15 one leg overhead press*, 15 one leg curls* (continue for 2 min)
Squat thrust pyramid (8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1)
45s each - Left plank, center plank, right plank
*12# weights
This is scaled down from the "6 minutes of each" version toted on RW and it still kicks my ass pretty good.
My general feeling on this is that I will do this workout 3X per week while building my base back. If I can do it I should be much stronger by the time I am back to 40+ mile weeks. Any input is appreciated.
6/21 - Manitou's Revenge 54mi
A man may never run the same trail twice for it is not the same trail and he is not the same man
My legs had some life in them on my run yesterday...thanks for the input
Actually if anyone wants to weigh in on this anyways I would still like to hear about it.
If you are base building, cross training like this is probably okay. The key is recovery. If you have dead legs, that is a clue to have a short recovery run at easy pace on that day, maybe only 20-30 minutes, and have the longer run "general aerobic" on the following day. And while there is no exercise that will substitute for running a lot of miles, it is important to keep core and hamstrings strong.
I don't see much of a downside. I have been doing a lot more leg strengthening and stretching in the last 2 weeks than I've ever done, and my legs have been in a constant state of fatigue. I haven't done any workouts but I imagine if I did I would feel a bit dead legged. This is probably a good thing in terms of injury prevention, not so much if you want to do workouts that require some "pop" in the legs.
Runners run.
Took the words right out of my mouth.
I'm recovering from some kind of knee injury and between the loss of running fitness and the renewed emphasis on strength training I have been running on dead legs too. I'm running almost a full minute/mile slower...where I should be actually for my aerobic runs on dead legs. Keeps me in check.
This all sounds reasonable. I really don't need any "pop" in my legs right now. The cross training is part of an effort to achieve injury free running. I don't have any reason to run fast over the next month...just base miles. Thanks for the responses (for real this time!)
When I started running I decided that the part of my strength training I was going to take most seriously would be free weight dead lifts. it actually took a couple of months ,really almost 3 months before I did not have serious doms from my once a week dead lift sets. It definitely kept my running in check, which as mentioned, isn't always a bad thing. In that time I only went from to a highest set of 6x225 to 10x265(mostly from improved form). I gave up weighted squats because they trash my knees, but those will also rip the hamstrings up. I did push through, but cautiously if that makes sense started off very slow and when warmed up got going faster. I tore a meniscus when I was young and invincible and went from a heavy weight lift straight to dunking a basket ball. The tension can actually cause more explosiveness once you get used to it, but with some risk.
I've been pushing through and I like it. I'm not tempted to overdue it with the running and I'm figuring out how to do the workouts with quality running workouts too. I stopped when I started to taper for my last race and felt absolutely great during the event.
Good job. Not sure i could do something like that. I prefer to have fresh legs during the workouts.

Whom do I contact regarding the Administration Committee?
Karen Guttentag (x5771) - Associate Dean of the College
Whom do I contact regarding international student issues?
- Commons Dean* (by residence)
- Kathy Foley-Giorgio (x5858) - International Student and Scholars Services
How are the Commons organized?
Each Commons administration includes:
- Commons Head (typically a tenured member of the faculty and at times his or her partner). The Commons Head is responsible for setting the academic and social tone of the Commons and for programming activities (lectures, field trips, parties, and other events) that involve students, faculty, and staff.
- Commons Dean (a student affairs professional). The Commons Dean administers the daily operations of the Commons and handles all residential issues, as well as academic and personal advising.
- Commons Coordinator (a staff member) who helps with all that's involved in administering the daily functioning of the Commons.
- Commons Residential Adviser, or CRA (recent Middlebury graduates who live in the residence halls) interacts closely with the students in the Commons, helps organize activities, and provide leadership to the Commons.
Do all students belong to a Commons?
All students who live on campus are assigned to a Commons and Commons Dean. Students who live in academic interest and social houses are also assigned to Commons as individuals, based on previous Commons residency.
I've got a concern that I'd like to talk about with someone. Whom should I call?
Please contact your Commons Dean about residential life, academic (Dean's Excuse, Exam Change, etc.), and personal issues. To find out how to contact your Commons Dean, visit the website for your commons (Atwater, Brainerd, Cook, Ross, Wonnacott)
If you do not know whom to contact, please call the Dean of the College Office (x5382) for assistance.

Meet the SmartTemplate4 Developer
Why was SmartTemplate4 created?
Marky Mark DE and I have picked up development of an older addon 'Smart Template' that is no longer actively being developed, with written permission from the original author, gaby_hy. I was a long time Smart Template user and I inquired with Marky Mark DE when I had discovered some information regarding the 'Lightning' bug. I offered to help modify the code and I have been actively helping fix bugs and further develop the addon since then.
I have been recently asked to take over development after Fx13 broke some of the functionality as tool8 has retired. I would like to make the User Interface a little more intuitive while I work on this.
~Realraven (Axel Grude)
What's next for SmartTemplate4
We are hoping to de-couple the various templates from the accounts, as it is often desired to have a choice between different templates on the same account, and to share the same template across several accounts. This will require careful planning and substantial rewriting so this is going to be a long term project.

Wiltshire Wildlife Trust's Real Nappy Network is on the hunt for a very special baby, to be the first 'face' of Wiltshire's Real Nappy Week.
Using real nappies will prevent over 4,000 disposable nappies going to landfill - that's over a tonne of waste we could save, per child, per year, or equivalent to an average elephant.
Aisling Hunt, Real Nappy project officer for the trust, said: "Did you know that using real nappies can save you over £500 per child?
"They're not only good for your purse; they're good for the environment, and for wildlife. Cloth nappies have a lower carbon footprint – even when you include the power used to clean them.
"They're the perfect hand-me-down, super comfy, absorbent and even stylish. A must have for today's well-dressed baby and for very busy mums."
For almost 10 years, the Wiltshire Real Nappy Network has been promoting the use of cloth nappies throughout the county.
Now, it is looking for one special baby to be the face of the network for 2014. Swap disposables for real nappies and enter your baby in our 'Real Baby, Real Nappies' competition.
Entries will go into a prize draw. First prize will be a photo shoot for your baby, from which the winner will receive a framed A4 print, plus a disc with a selection of photos.
The winning baby's photo will be used on printed materials, website and social media throughout the year to promote the Real Nappy network.
Closing date for entries is Friday, May 2. T
The first 100 entries will also receive a copy of the book 'A wish for my baby' that was produced for the Network.
Entrants must live in Wiltshire.
For further information and to enter, log on to www.wiltshirewildlife.org and click on Real Nappy Network under the Green Living channel.

There's been some talk here on Instant Tea this week about the documentary Out in America and whether or not KLRU, the PBS channel in Austin, would air it during Gay Pride Month. I am proud of the LGBTs in Austin — especially Meghan Stabler — for speaking out and getting KLRU to add the film to its Jun line-up.
But it seems that there is another important documentary that may have gotten a bit overlooked in the meantime. It's called Two Spirits, and it weaves the story of a 16-year-old Navajo boy, Fred Martinez, who was murdered because of his feminine ways, and the history of many Native American tribes who considered what we now call LGBT people to be gifted individuals who had an honored place in society. They called them "two spirits." You can watch a trailer for the film below.

Serving You! Dean, Chancellor, and Men's Choir Visit Thirteen Parishes and Deaneries during Lenten Season
29 March 2012 • By Deborah (Malacky) Belonick
By the end of this season of Great Lent, our Dean, Chancellor, and Men's Choir will have visited a total of 13 parishes and deaneries—serving, singing, and presenting homilies, lectures, and retreats, in service of Christ's Church (and that does not even include the number of presentations given in non-Orthodox venues, such as colleges and universities, which raise the profile of the Orthodox Christian faith). This photo collage depicting their most travels speaks volumes on how St. Vladimir's Seminary ministers to the church at-large and the wider community.
Chancellor Archpriest Chad Hatfield was retreat leader at St. George Cathedral, Charleston, West Virginia, where alumnus Archpriest Olof H. Scott is Cathedral Dean.
Dean Archpriest John Behr, served as homilist at St. George Greek Orthodox Church, Greenville, South Carolina, where Archpriest Thomas Pistolis is rector; the parish hosted the local Sunday of Orthodoxy gathering.
Dean Archpriest John Behr led a parish retreat at St. John of the Ladder Church, Piedmont, South Carolina, where alumnus Archpriest Marcus Burch is rector; additionally, Fr. John presented a retreat to the Carolinas Deanery clergy of the Orthodox Church in America at that same church.
Chancellor Archpriest Chad Hatfield, with Associate Chancellor for Advancement Ted Bazil, accompanied the Men's Choir to St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, Allison Park, Pennsylvania, where Archpriest Michael Senyo is Cathedral Dean; Fr. Chad preached and the Men's Choir, led by Hierodeacon Herman, sang both Vespers and Divine Liturgy. Our SVS Press & Bookstore Marketing Manager, Dn. Gregory Hatrak not only served during Divine Liturgy, but also managed our traveling bookstore.
Chancellor Archpriest Chad Hatfield continued traveling with the Men's Choir from Allison Park Pennsylvania up to Holy Trinity Church, State College, Pennsylvania, to concelebrate Sunday evening Vespers with the rector of the parish, Archpriest John Reeves; to greet His Grace Melchisedek, bishop of Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania; and to deliver a homily at the service.
Dean Archpriest John Behr flew off to Alhambra, California, to deliver a public lecture titled "The Mystery of Death as Theological and Pastoral Challenge" at St. Steven's Serbian Orthodox Cathedral, where alumnus Archpriest Nicholas Ceko is Cathedral Dean. He also delivered the talk, extended in a retreat setting, to the clergy of the Western American Diocese of the Serbian Orthodox Church, after concelebrating Pre-sanctified Liturgy with them; His Grace Maxim, bishop of the Western Diocese, presided [Photo credit: Western American Diocese of the Serbian Orthodox Church in North and South America].
Following his California journey, Dean John Behr landed in Washington, D.C., where he presented a public lecture entitled "The Earth That Suffers: The Struggle to Become Human in the Early Church," at Catholic University of America, where he was welcomed by Professor Philip Rousseau, Andrew W. Mellon Distinguished Professor and Director of the Center for the Study of Early Christianity at the university (pictured with him here); Fr. John also presented a graduate seminar on St. Maximus the Confessor, Ambigua 41.
Chancellor Archpriest Chad Hatfield served and preached St. Jacob of Alaska Orthodox Mission, Montpelier, Vermont, where alumnus Priest Caleb Abetti is rector; last year, Fr. Caleb and his parish, with great courage and determination, dealt with the devastating effects of Hurricane Irene on the towns and people of Vermont.
Chancellor Archpriest Chad Hatfield also gave a lenten retreat (sicty people from six parishes attended) and preached at the Divine Liturgy at Ss. Peter and Paul Orthodox Church, Phoenix, Arizona; additionally, he preached at an evening Missions Vespers sponsored by the Phoenix–Scottsdale Brotherhood.
Still to come are photos from Fr. John Behr's visit to the Cathedral Parish of the Annunciation, Ottawa, Canada; and Fr. Chad's visit to St. John Chrysostom Orthodox Church in Golden, Colorado. View the full versions of Fr. John's 2012 Travel Schedule and Fr. Chad's 2012 Travel Schedule: look for both of them in your area!

Did you know?
Tell-tale signs of a Strandloper midden include the presence of artefacts in the pile of shells.
Stone Age middens found along South Africa's 3 000-odd kilometres of coastline often resemble traces of a rather festive beach party or seafood cookout for 100 guests.
Look closely at the shells lying massed in their sandy enclaves and you'll be able to identify all manner of molluscs, like abalone and periwinkle, and crustaceans like crabs and crayfish.
Hmm. A glass of white wine, a touch of Tabasco and some lemon butter sauce would complete the modern-day picture of an alfresco gathering at the sea.
But these piles of shells are often thousands of years old, and represent the last signs left by the Strandloper ('beach walker') people, who belonged to the larger communities of either the San (hunter-gatherers) or the Khoikhoi, who preferred a life of livestock herding.
Experts who have studied these middens, including those found on the 8km Sacramento Hiking Trail that starts at Sardinia Bay outside Port Elizabeth, have built a 'lifestyle scenario' of how the Strandloper clans existed within sight of the sea.
Sardinia Bay itself has always been a favoured address. It's a lovely cove, complete with sand dunes and a protected natural area nearby. Look out to the horizon and there's always a chance of spotting dolphins on the hunt. At your feet, in season (September to November), are some of the loveliest wildflower blooms in the country.
So when the Strandlopers occupied this idyllic bay millennia ago, they could simply pick their dinner off the rocks that stretched into the waves on the beach. Various inlets around Sardinia Bay lend themselves to being adapted as fish traps.
The women would find some place in the dunes that was protected from the wind, and transform it into the family kitchen. They would shuck the shells and often prepare the food here as well. Pottery shards found at the midden sites indicate items of Stone Age crockery. Shells with shiny mother-of-pearl would also be used as special jewellery accessories by the women.
Sardinia Bay would also have provided a stream of freshwater running out from an inland source, and bulrush roots were available to be beaten into pancake shapes, mixed with water and cooked on the fire.
The men would be somewhere else, possibly closer to the shore. They would be knapping arrowheads, or scraping the skin of a seal carcass they may have come across on their wanderings up and down the coastline.
The families would sleep in simple reed shelters, not unlike the more modern Nama matjieshuise (reed houses) you still come across occasionally in Namaqualand or up in the Richtersveld in the Northern Cape province.
The middens of Sardinia Bay and others around South Africa are historical windows into the lives of the early people of this land.
So when next you pass a pile of shells on a trail along a South African beach, spare a thought for the Strandlopers, who dined on all this brain food ...

Letter Ice
Hello everybody, I'd like you to meet my next purchase: Alphabet Ice Cube Trays. My son loves ice and he's learning his letters. How much fun could we have with these? The possibilities are actually pretty endless, and most have little to do with making a refreshing drink on a hot day. I I think I might use food coloring to color the letters/numbers and use them in a bath or outside. The molds are made of silicone, and are therefore heat-safe, so I could make little alphabet "cupcakes" or muffins, too! If I'm feeling patient one day, he could use these as play-doh molds (homemade or store-bought). These things are pretty great.

For my son's 2nd birthday party last weekend, I wanted to create two different cupcakes. One for the chocolate lovers, and one using one of his favorite fruits: Strawberries. Even though I knew he probably wouldn't eat one (he's not into desserts oddly!), I couldn't throw a birthday party without cupcakes. He cried when we brought out his "smash" cake at his first birthday party, so this year was at least an improvement when he blew out the candle. Then he promptly went back to playing with his friends while the rest of us dug in.
This cupcake is perfectly moist with just the right amount of sweetness. There's fresh strawberries in both the batter and the frosting, so you taste the berries with every bite. I used solely almond flour for this cake, as opposed to a mix of coconut and almond which I usually lean towards. Using a blender to mix the ingredients ensures that the almond flour is blended into an extremely fine grind, making the cake smooth and light. A little lemon juice in the batter and frosting makes the tart strawberries sing.
My plan was to make a coconut whipped cream frosting, but after 3 cans and no heavy cream from the top, I jumped to planB. The guests were already arriving and I didn't have time to chill any more cans, so I made a last minute decision to whip up an Italian meringue. If you've never made or had Italian meringue, you're going to be in heaven. It is made from beating egg whites while pouring in a stream of boiling sugar (or honey in my case) and ends up creating a taste that is between a marshmallow frosting and a whipped cream topping. It's like biting into a sweet cloud. It also pipes and holds up better than whipped coconut cream, so let your creativity juices flow. I mixed in a little homemade strawberry preserves for this cake, but left it plain for my chocolate cupcakes.

Nervous about coming to Orientation??
Unsure of what to expect??
Here are the experiences of two Orientation leaders, Alec Parenteau and Rachel Prior, that were in your shoes just a year ago.
By: Alec Parenteau
My orientation experience was absolutely a positive one. Coming into it, I was still not certain if I was going to enjoy being at UNE, and had a lot of questions about what college was going to be like. Upon arriving, the OL's made me feel very welcomed, and the atmosphere was a very warm one. As the first day progressed I started feeling a lot more relaxed and as anxiety faded, new friends and connections began to develop. Things only went uphill from there. I loved every minute of my orientation. I can honestly say I left my session feeling completely confident in choosing UNE to be my new home away from home. Even to this day, I'm still friends with a good amount of people who I met at orientation! If I had to recommend any advice to those incoming first year students, I would emphasize that you just be yourself. College is certainly not high school. Cliques seem to disappear, and nearly everyone becomes friends with everyone. Being yourself is key to finding your soon-to-be best friends. I would also encourage everyone to make connections and branch out. If you see someone you don't know, introduce yourself! There are plenty of opportunities during orientation to strike up conversation with someone you may not know. Take advantage of that!
Being a normal human being, as you can well imagine, I was utterly petrified at the thought of being surrounded by total strangers for a week! The entire car ride to UNE for orientation, my palms were sweating and I was jabbering away aimlessly to my mother trying to ease my whirlwind thoughts. Upon arriving to campus, entirely too early, I was alone in the residence halls to unpack my bags, and even after meeting all the orientation leaders, it wasn't until other new students started arriving when I really felt like this week was actually going to be okay. After the first couple of hours after meeting my new floor mates, I absolutely knew that some of these people were going to be some of the closest friends I would ever have! I was also worried about whom I was going to live with during the actual school year and immediately had those worries erased from my mind when I decided to room with two of the girls that I met during orientation. That was one of the best decisions I have made, they have become two of my very best friends. I guess through all of this the best advice I can give to you is to just put yourself out there, want to meet new people, and form new relationships. It is a very exciting and challenging time but it doesn't have to be that bad as long as you just enjoy yourself and have fun! Cause honestly its college Orientation! YOU'RE GOING TO COLLEGE! BE EXCITED! Can't wait to meet you all!

Clearly the best matchup this week, the Falcons come off a blowout win over Carolina, which the Broncos barely edged in the season opener. Of course, Denver manhandled the Panthers in the Super Bowl, and its defense is just as good, if not better.
That presents a hefty challenge for the Falcons , whose offense is ranked atop the league, led by Matt Ryan throwing to Julio Jones. Atlanta has scored 152 points, 38 more than anyone else.
So this is a classic powerful offense vs. dominant defense matchup.
"We don't want to be the team on the other side of a 500-yard game by Matt Ryan, so it just motivates us to prepare even harder," Broncos cornerback Aqib Talib says. "It fires us up to go compete against the best. Julio and Matt Ryan are the best right now in the league, so it fires us up to go compete against them."
Jones returns the compliments when asked about Denver's secondary, even as he prepares to try to victimize the Broncos.
"Just their whole defense is a great defense, probably one of the best defenses we're going to face this year," Jones says. "It's not more about them, it's more about us. We've got to go there and do what we do. They have great athletes, and definitely in the secondary and their front seven is very, very good. It comes down to us and our execution."

Last year Kansas took bold steps to reduce their top income tax rate from 6.45% to 4.9%. They also increased the standard deduction and exempted almost 191,000 businesses from state income taxes. Oklahoma also approved a bill that would cut their state's top income tax rate from 5.25% to 5% in 2015, with a second cut to 4.85% set for 2016, but only if state revenues continue to increase. Kansas legislation did not include this stipulation, thus creating the potential for budgetary problems.
Missouri recently had the opportunity to follow in her neighboring states' tax-reducing footsteps with House Bill 253. If House Bill 253 had been signed into law, Missouri's income tax would have been reduced from 6% to 5.5%, and our corporate tax reduced from 6.25% to 3.25%. This could have kept Missouri more competitive.
Missouri's HB 253 followed more closely with Oklahoma's legislation, putting very important safeguards in place. These safeguards in our legislation would have required our state revenue to grow by $100 million each year before the next phase of the tax cuts would be implemented. This protection was to have given Missouri an additional level of assurance that the tax cuts would perform as expected and would in fact stimulate economic growth. Missouri's general revenue would have had to grow by $1 billion over the next ten years for any of these tax cuts to fully take effect. If revenues did not grow, these cuts simply would not have taken place.
Throughout the past session, as HB 253 was being formulated and debated, the governor hinted that his veto-pen was ready. Last week he used that pen and vetoed the bill. At this time it is uncertain whether there will be an attempt to override his veto in the September Veto Session.
In 2011, the governor signed the Corporate Franchise Tax Law. This was a five-year phase-out of Missouri's franchise tax on corporations and was passed for the same reason as HB 253—to stimulate economic growth through tax relief. Today, many other states are beginning to see the successful results of reducing taxes on businesses and individuals.
Tax relief encourages businesses to reinvest in their operations, thus creating jobs. It also allows individuals to keep a greater percentage of their paychecks and makes more money available for personal usage. It only stands to reason that if phasing out the franchise tax encourages business expansion then the reduction in corporate taxes would have a similar, positive impact.
Most critics of HB 253 were concerned that a reduction in taxes would lead to diminished funding for education (especially K-12). It is important to note that Missouri's General Assembly has and always will be committed to funding public education.
By law, the General Assembly is required to appropriate 25% of general revenue to education, but today the legislature appropriates almost 35% of general revenue to it. Because of our commitment to education funding, Missouri lawmakers demanded safeguards be a part of the HB 253.
The concern of many legislators is that the growth in spending on social programs and the amount of tax money required for them will continue to consume more and more of our state's general revenue monies, which could have a future impact on the availability of funds for education. Consequently, now is the time to look at ways to grow the economy in order to ensure that adequate money will be available for tomorrow's financial needs. HB 253 was an attempt to do just that.

Chinese Fishing Nets
Santa Cruz Cathedral Basilica
It was a wonderful experience. I stayed there with my family. The best thing is the overall level of service and wonderful feeling of being treated like guests. The staff are very friendly and dinning experience are wonderful. You are spoilt for choice from the breakfast menu to the evening dinner. If you have a chance to stay then you will never regret it.
I woke up in the morning, fresh and bright as a daisy on a sunny day.The shimmering blue-grey backwaters,greenery,bright clear swimming pool,backwaters alongside all beckoned me for a stroll just to feel what it would be like to walk in paradise.I wandered down meandering pathways and the flowers winked at me from behind lush greens.The coconut palms swayed in the breeze,the birds chirped at me and the ducks invited me for a quick dip in the ponds.Le Meridien,so pristine,so relaxed,so comfortable,with nature at its core;is a style beyond the ordinary in Gods own Country.
We had the pleasure of staying for 3 days in this hotel from May1st to 3rd 2009. The hotel is situated close to NH 47, the main road. The front desk staff to the kitchen staff were friendly and knowledgeable. The rooms, amenities, the food were excellent. We recommend this hotel to our friends.
We stayed here for 3 nights in April and found the staff to be helpful and kind. The facilities were impeccable and brand new. The children enjoyed the pool the most. The view was spectacular and the food was great too. The exercise room had brand new and well maintained equipment. The game room had air hockey, ping pong, chess & cards table. We were not too far from Veegaland and the shopping districts. Unfortunately, we didn't get a chance for a boat ride. The internet was readily available and at no extra charge-- unlike other hotels we visited (ie. The Leela Kovalam). Overall, this was a great place for a family resort.

Rather than list the local institutions that Bob and Mary Lee Hermann have supported, it would almost be easier to list those they have not been involved in—if you could think of anything to put on that list. So while they may protest that they've slowed down in recent years, it's no surprise to those who know them that they would be named among LN's Most Dynamic St. Louisans.
The founder of Hermann Companies Inc., Bob Hermann is the chairman and president of Hermann Foundation. One of his early claims to fame was founding the VP Fair, now known as Fair St. Louis. "It was 1981 and I decided to put on a big thing for St. Louis in the park, under the Arch. I got a whole lot of volunteers and divided the responsibilities among eight vice-chairmen," Bob recalls. The event had its share of logistical hurdles, but the biggest hiccup was actually planned, he admits. "The first day, I called up the chief of police and said, Do you know how to put on a traffic jam? He said, What? Are you kidding? And I said, I want you to put on a traffic jam after the fireworks, at Fourth and Olive." Sure enough, that night a traffic jam happened, giving the fair just the publicity it needed: "The next day, the headlines in the paper read, VP Fair Causes Traffic Jam."
More recently, Bob founded the Veterans Festival in Forest Park, which will have its second celebration this year on Sept. 14 and 15. He looks forward to filling the park's 1,293 acres with festivities, including a parade, golf tournament, entertainment and more.
He also founded St. Louis Arts Festival and Operation Brightside, now Brightside St. Louis. Additionally, he has chaired the board of the Saint Louis Zoo, St. Louis Public Library Foundation, Old Newsboys Day—even the Miss Universe Pageant—and been a member of boards too numerous to count. He is particularly proud of is his work with the Zoo, where one of his major goals was to increase the income from restaurants. He also helped lead a $55-million drive to build the River's Edge exhibit. "It's the biggest institution in St. Louis, with 3 million visitors per year," he says. "It's the No. 1 zoo in America."
Additionally, the most prestigious award in college soccer, the MAC Hermann Trophy, was named after Bob as a result of his involvement in a now-defunct professional league he helped create in the 1970s. "Soccer is the biggest sport in the world, and it's the biggest sport in the U.S. for youth through college," he says, joking that the award, given to one male and one female player each year, is even bigger than the Heisman Trophy. "We have two, and they only have one."
Keeping up with that kind of resumé is no small task, but Bob's wife, Mary Lee, has done it. Since moving to St. Louis from Detroit 30 years ago, she has chaired at least 25 galas, which raised more than a combined $2 million for The Muny, the Missouri Botanical Garden, Saint Louis Science Center, Missouri History Museum and Paraquad, among others. Mary Lee received the first-ever President's Award from the Saint Louis Science Center in 2002, and was named a Woman of Achievement in 1996. The pair was also recognized in 2005 with the Cornerstone Award by Barnes-Jewish Hospital for their support of the hospital and Siteman Cancer Center, as well as the 2012 St. Andrew's Ageless-Remarkable Saint Louisans Award.
Bob, who says Mary Lee was a 'leading woman' in Detroit before coming here, gives some insight into his wife's success at fundraising: "She's an expert. A lot of people, when they're made chairman of something, they get two vice-chairmen and four junior chairs. She gets 40 vice-chairmen reporting to her. She tells them, You don't have to give any money, although we hope that you do; I just want your good name. Well, that's pretty hard to say no to."

PROMINENT Sotheby's Australia chief executive Gary Singer is paying $4.2 million for what will eventually become the Melbourne headquarters of the fine-art auction house.
Mr Singer, a former deputy lord mayor of Melbourne, has purchased levels seven and eight of a distinctive 21-level strata office building at 41 Exhibition Street that is being developed by the Royal Australian Institute of Architects and due for completion next year.
Sotheby's Australia will occupy 560 square metres of the building at the north-west corner of Flinders Lane near the landmark office towers 101 Collins Street and Collins Place.
In August, Sotheby's Australia made the surprise announcement it would quit its historic Armadale headquarters at 926-930 High Street once its lease ended in the second half of this year.
That 1400-square-metre building, part occupied by the auction house for about 20 years, itself went under the hammer four months ago but passed in. Agency Fitzroys is now asking $4.95 million.
Mr Singer's latest purchase completes the sales of the Exhibition Street strata-office project which was launched to investors about two years ago.
The building is designed with 21 strata offices each occupying a full floor of about 280 square metres.
It is being developed on a site the RAIA bought for $1.2 million in 1994 and which previously accommodated a low-rise office with a ground-level art gallery.
The RAIA will occupy the lower four levels of the building. Strata suites were marketed by Alexander Robertson's David Combes (see the next story for more on Combes) and ex-CBRE agent Sebastian Drapac.
Sotheby's Australia confirmed the purchase when contacted. Until the Exhibition Street space is ready for occupation next September, the company will lease the upper two levels of nearby Anzac House at 4-6 Collins Street from the Returned and Services League. Mr Singer was an unsuccessful candidate to become lord mayor this year.
Agency changeover
OWNERSHIP of commercial agency Alexander Robertson is set to change again.
Agent David Combes, a part-owner of the mid-tier agency since 2005, is quitting the business to work for a client, Drapac USA, and live in Los Angeles.
Combes, who started his property career as a graduate with CBRE in 2000 before moving to Jones Lang LaSalle, purchased a share of Alexander Robertson controlled by Sandy Robertson, who died suddenly almost seven years ago, age 43, while playing golf at a hospital fund-raiser. Combes leaves the country this week.
Looking for Eden
WITH permission recently granted to build Eden, an 11-level tower atop a four-level podium on a riverside block in Abbotsford, developers are now pressing council to ease restrictions preventing them from profitably redeveloping other pockets of the inner north-eastern suburb.
The Yarra City Council is reviewing a rezoning application that would see a 500-square-metre floor limit removed from two major sites in Mollison Street, Abbotsford, near Victoria Crescent, which runs along the Yarra River, also the suburb border to ritzy Kew.
The largest site, known as 32-68 Mollison Street, occupies almost all the northern half of the block east of Nicholson Street. Until this year, part of the double-storey warehouse on the site was occupied by Roving Enterprises, the production company of Rove McManus, who is now US-based.
A second, smaller site known as 61-69 William Street, but with frontage to Mollison Street, is also the subject of a rezoning. The assets are controlled by a Melbourne-based residential developer.
Both sites are near the former Denton Hat Mills factory which was redeveloped into apartments about four years ago. They are a short walk to the Victoria Street restaurant strip.
Not far away at 677 Victoria Street, in 2010, the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal supported the Yarra City Council permitting a low-rise office on the banks of the Yarra River be replaced with a 586-unit residential project marketed as Eden.
Herzog property sale
DAVID and Ruvi Herzog, who ran the successful First Auto Wholesalers dealership established by their late father, Izzy Herzog, are selling a high-profile Port Melbourne commercial property developed in the 1990s.
The 65-67 Fennell Street asset abuts the West Gate Freeway and is within a 240-hectare precinct recently gazetted for high-density redevelopment as part of plans to rebuild Fishermans Bend as four residential-based villages.
The 4514-square-metre site, with future mixed-use redevelopment potential, is expected to fetch about $8.5 million. The family is also selling an adjoining 1555-square-metre lot at 69 Fennell Street for $1.3 million. In 2008, the Herzog family sold a Southbank development site to residential developers for about $23 million.
The family still owns a substantial property portfolio centred around Port Melbourne and South Melbourne. Vinci Carbone will auction the Fennell Street assets.
Healesville buyer
AUSTRALAND is understood to have found a buyer for its Healesville Walk Shopping Centre, about 50 kilometres east of the CBD.
The developer and fund manager listed the asset for sale via an expression of interest campaign that closed last month. It is understood a local private investor is negotiating to buy the asset for about $22 million.
At that sale price, and based on the shopping centre's potential annual rental return of $1.6 million, the asset will trade at a low yield of less than 7.5 per cent.
Australand paid almost $19.5 million for the asset in 2007, subsequently doing some refurbishments.
The 4971-square-metre shopping centre occupies a 1.3 hectare block with three street frontages.
Supermarket Coles is the anchor tenant, surrounded by 12 specialty shops and a kiosk. The centre includes 203 car park bays and has future redevelopment potential.
CBRE agents Mark Wizel and Justin Dowers and Savills' Dominic Long and Pat De Maria declined to comment on the campaign.
Wiping the slate clean
THE formal sale campaign for another $20 million-plus commercial asset also closed last month.
Sources expect a new buyer will be announced before the end of the year for 533 Little Lonsdale Street, a building owner-occupied in the 1990s by law firm Slater & Gordon - which has become a household name since its history with Prime Minister Julia Gillard became public recently.
Known as the Dominion building, the office was listed by asset management group Cyre Trilogy. Since being developed in 1991, the 15-level, 6608-square-metre office has been owned by wealthy identities including late billionaire Richard Pratt, who sold the building to S&G for $7.5 million in 1997.
S&G occupied the building with Mr Pratt's Visy Industries for a while but sold the asset in 2000 for $11.75 million. The law firm has since relocated to a larger Melbourne headquarters at 485 La Trobe Street.
Dominion was being marketed by agency Knight Frank with a potentially profitable planning scheme allowing the space to be subdivided into strata office suites that could be sold individually to small investors and owner-occupiers.

Brand Engagement in Social Media
- Tagged in Social Media
- Leave a Comment
I like Oreo cookies. I don't mean that in the Facebook sense of the word like, but rather in real life. I like the originals and the double stuff. I like the white frosted ones that come out during the Holidays. I like any ice cream anywhere that features Oreos. I even like those "golden" Oreos. (Try them. They're good.) Oreos have been a staple of my sweet tooth for as long as I can remember. And I'm sure I'm not alone on this. Still, I had no idea – until recently – of Oreo's successful social media campaigns.
But I should have known, cause it turns out the makers of everyone's favorite tuxedo cookie treat (sorry, Hydrox) has positioned themselves as major players in the social media space. For example, Oreo is the third largest brand on Facebook. They have well over 16 million fans. And you may have recently heard about how they set the Guinness world record for most likes on a single Facebook post in a 24 hour period. You may have also heard that rap star Lil Wayne beat that record a day later. How did Oreo respond? They sent him some Oreo cookies to celebrate. Talk about keeping their name in the story!
But sending delicious Oreo cookies to Lil' Wayne surely isn't enough to build a social media strategy around. (Or is it?) (It's not.) Recently, I had the opportunity to listen to representatives from Oreo and other brands discuss what's worked for them at the Content and Conversations panel at Social Media Week New York. One of the main things Oreo has done is move themselves to where their customers are. Put another way, they went to where the conversation was happening, rather than trying to bring the conversation to them. For example, a year ago, Oreo's website was their main web hub. Today their Facebook page is. And on that Facebook page they disseminate product and promotional information in three languages 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They encourage their followers to share photos. They award 'fan of the week.' They host polls. They post recipes. Oreo not only engages their fans. They keep them engaged.
Representatives from Nokia, who also spoke at this panel, have found recent success in engaging their fans during a cross promotional campaign with the film "Tron." They cashed in what they called the 'nostalgic currency' for the original "Tron" film and parlayed that into promoting the new film. Nokia released free content, two games, a screensave and wallpapers all tied into "Tron." They offered code-breaking puzzles, complete with binary and assembly codes. The Nokia N8 phone even came with Tron content already uploaded in it. As they said, "You can't just blatantly advertise to people using these sorts of channels. A lot of the readers are already owners and fans, for one thing. And in any case, their purpose is to engage with customers, establish more personal relationships and have a little fun sometimes."
The Nokia team also outlined six basic principles for engagement:
– Keep it in real time
– Take the party to the people
– Reward participation and collaboration
– Add something for everyone
– Understand how your audience wants to be engaged
– Build relationships with new audiences
People Magazine has also seen recent success in social media. Recently, they let their Facebook fans vote on their annual Sexiest Man Alive contest. In order to vote, however, fans had to like People's Facebook page. In the first two weeks after the polls opened, People added more than 240,000 additional fans. They learned that not only do Facebook users love to vote in polls, but that engaged users will keep coming back.
Keeping consumers engaged is in every brand's interest. It's great to sell something to someone once, but to build a trusted and reciprocal relationship can pay way more dividends.
Authored by Tom Hynes, manager, blogger relations, PR Newswire.
It's tough to engage if you're not listening. Do you know if your fans and followers connecting with your messages? PRN Media Monitoring enables you to listen to your social networks and track traditional media mentions, giving you a holistic view of the conversations central to your business.

Debunking Enzyme Replacement
I have heard of this new treatment called "enzyme replacement, which is being offered by a New York Chiroprator. The glossary of Chiropractic terms says it is a "nonsensical approach", but doesn`t explain say why. Can you tell me what it is? Thank you
Enzyme replacement therapy is used to treat disorders that occur as a result of an enzyme being absent or deficient in the body. Enzymes are types of proteins that act as catalysts to make chemical changes happen in other substances in the cells. For example, digestion occurs by having digestive enzymes or pancreatic enzymes help drive chemical processes to break down food into energy. Some enzymes can be made synthetically and given to patients to treat some disorders. This may be the type of enzyme replacement therapy mentioned in your question - having to do with digestion. In the past few years, researchers have been able to make some enzymes that are deficient in certain genetic disorders. For example, Gaucher disease - a genetic disorder where the patient does not have the enzyme beta-glucocerebrosidase to break down lysosomes - can now be treated with a synthetic enzyme. There are a number of other genetic disorders of metabolism that are currently being studied or in clinical trials to see if enzyme replacement will be helpful in decreasing or taking away the effects of the disease.

For third day in a row, Good Morning America touted Bush's White House correspondents dinner skit while ignoring Colbert's routine
Consistent [1] with other media outlets, ABC's Good Morning America has completely ignored comedian Stephen Colbert [2]'s scathing routine at the April 29 White House Correspondents Association [3] dinner -- in which he went after President Bush, the Bush administration, and the press -- while highlighting Bush's performance at the same event. On all three days the program has aired since the dinner, Good Morning America has featured a segment on Bush's skit with impersonator Steve Bridges [4] in which, in the words of co-host Charles Gibson, Bush "took a few swipes at himself" by mocking his own mannerisms and communication skills. But the ABC morning show has not once mentioned Colbert, the featured entertainer of the night who appeared in character as the bombastic, Bush-supporting cable news host that he plays on Comedy Central's The Colbert Report [5].
On the May 1 edition, the show featured a segment highlighting Bush's sketch, showing video clips, and remarking on Bridges' "uncanny" impersonation of Bush. The following day, Good Morning America hosted Bridges to discuss his performance. In teasing the segment, Gibson repeatedly praised the performance, stating that Bridges "did a great job with the president Saturday," telling viewers that he "[h]ope[d] you had a chance to see it," and even suggesting that the two "ought to go on the road together" with their routine. During his interview with Bridges, Gibson continued lavishly praising the performance, telling Bridges, "you did a great job on Saturday night, and it was good fun to play with the president and good that he was such a good sport about it."
On May 3, Gibson again brought up the skit while interviewing first lady Laura Bush about the Laura Bush Foundation for American Libraries [6] and its program to award grants [7] to schools in the Gulf Coast region to replace library books lost to damage from last year's hurricanes. Gibson aired a video clip of the sketch, in which Bridges commented that Mrs. Bush is "muy [8] caliente [9]," and asked her to comment on the "very funny" performance.
From the May 1 broadcast of ABC's Good Morning America:
GIBSON: All right. Thanks, Dan. Well, over the weekend, President Bush hosted the annual dinner for the White House press corps, and the crowd wound up doing a double-take.
Here he is with a presidential look-a-like at the dinner. Now, this event is half standup, half roast, and this year, the president even took a few swipes at himself. Here we are.
DIANE SAWYER (ABC anchor): It is uncanny.
ROBIN ROBERTS (Good Morning America co-anchor): I know. Steve Bridges is the comedian. The laugh that he had down was so perfect.
GIBSON: That was Bridges on the right.
ROBERTS: Yeah. I know. Thanks a lot. I wasn't quite sure there for a minute.
SAWYER: "Nucular prolib" -- I like that.
GIBSON: We'll be back. Local news coming up next.
From the May 2 broadcast of Good Morning America:
ROBERTS: Also ahead, a master of disguise. You may think you're looking at President Bush. You may think former President Clinton, Arnold Schwarzenegger. You're not. It's impersonator Steve Bridges. You remember him. Recently at the White House, that roast over the weekend. That's what you look like? That's Steve Bridges? Oh, without his makeup --
BRIDGES: This is it.
ROBERTS: This is it. [laughs] We're gonna talk to him later in this half hour. He is hysterical. All that ahead.
GIBSON: He did a great job with the president Saturday, too.
ROBERTS: Dead on. Dead on.
GIBSON: We played a good bit of that yesterday. Hope you had a chance to see it because the two of them, well, they ought to go on the road together. Actually, Steve's ratings are much higher than 38 percent.
GIBSON: I am delighted to say we've got Steven Bridges with us. Yeah, you saw him yesterday on this broadcast. He was at the White House correspondents' dinner on Saturday night playing with the president, the president on the left, Bridges on the right. Now, what does he look like without the presidential makeup?
GIBSON: Now, you met George Bush a number of years ago, and then you met him just before the performance on Saturday night. And does he like the act?
BRIDGES: Oh, yeah. He gets a kick out of it. Yeah, he actually saw a tape that we made for his mom. We got asked to customize a tape to introduce her before she spoke, and we were in the Oval Office, and he had seen that tape. And that's part of how we connected.
GIBSON: Well, you did a great job on Saturday night, and it was good fun to play with the president and good that he was such a good sport about it.
From the May 3 broadcast of Good Morning America:
GIBSON: This is a very worthy effort, and I know there are many more schools to be done. And, I suspect your foundation is going to be very active in doing them. And, this is certainly worthy, as I say, and to be congratulated for doing that. I just -- this is a little impertinent to ask but I just want to make sure -- is this really Laura Bush I'm talking to, or are you an impersonator?
LAURA BUSH: It's really me. That was funny.
GIBSON: It was very funny. I just want to play a little clip because we had Steve Bridges on yesterday, who is the fellow who impersonates your husband --
LAURA BUSH: Oh you did? Great.
GIBSON: -- and he was very nervous about the one line that everybody is talking about.
[begin video clip]
PRESIDENT BUSH: I'm absolutely delighted to be here. As is Laura.
BRIDGES: She's hot. Muy caliente.
[end video clip]
GIBSON: Steve said he wasn't at all sure he was going to be able to do that line. Did you know it was coming?
LAURA BUSH: No, I didn't know it was coming. I really hadn't sent he whole script. I knew that the, of course, George had Steve coming to be his alter ego, but it was very funny.
GIBSON: Steve said the president passed on the line and said if it was OK with him, then I guess it was going to be OK with Mrs. Bush. Anyway, congratulations to you. The foundation doing good work, and this is very important.
LAURA BUSH: Thanks so much.

Review: 'Garden of the Heart' — Japanese meditation scenery in La Serena
Igor I. Solar, Digital Journal:
La Serena – "Kokoro No Niwa" (Japanese meaning Garden of the Heart) is a delightful scenic park with carefully manicured lawns, winding paths and trees, ponds and bridges, teahouse and miniature islands, pagodas and rock lanterns, located in La Serena, Chile.
City of La Serena
Founded in 1544 on ocean terraces just south of the point where the Elqui River flows into the Pacific Ocean, the city of La Serena is Chile's second oldest urban settlement (the oldest is Santiago, the capital, founded in 1541). Now, home to some 170,000 inhabitants, and preserving distinct memories of Spanish colonial architectural heritage, is one…

Topic: How to know chemo has worked?
Dear friends
My sister with I-CC stage IV has received already two cycles of chemo. I wonder how can we know whether or not chemo has worked. Do we need a CAT? What is the standard method? Besides, what should be normal to expect at this stage. It seems to me that in general chemo produces limited results.
Thank you
