Nov. 14: It's now official. Guwahati has become a transit point for those supplying illegal arms and ammunition to militants and criminals.
Police admitted this today after the haul last night of a cache of arms and ammunition that was being transported from Dimapur in Nagaland to Meghalaya's East Garo Hills through Guwahati. While five persons were arrested with the cache, two more were subsequently arrested in Dimapur.
The police said the consignment was meant for the Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA), which is most active in the East Garo Hills.
The police, based on prior intelligence, intercepted a vehicle near Khetri here around 6.35pm and arrested five persons with the arms and ammunition. The haul included two AK-56 rifles with 10 magazines, one carbine magazine, two shotguns, six .32mm pistols with eight magazines and 254 rounds of ammunitions. A GNLA activist, Kelen Marak, 32, owner of the vehicle Ganesh Gogoi, its driver Nekib Hussain, helper Anil Rabi Das and a middleman, Umesh Singh, were arrested along with the arms.
Based on their confession, the police informed their counterparts in Dimapur, where Sirsung Sangma, an ex-CRPF constable, and Daflin Sangma, a GNLA cadre, were arrested. Sirsung, who hails from Garo hills, had been staying in a rented house in Dimapur.
Last night's was the fifth such arms haul in the current year, in which the consignments were intercepted while being transported using the city as a transit point.
Inspector-general of police (central western range) L.R. Bishnoi said investigation into the recent arms recoveries revealed that arms suppliers were increasingly using the city as a transit point because of its geographical location and communication facilities. "We have managed to recover some sophisticated arms and arrest 20 people so far since March and it has been found that Guwahati has emerged as a transit point for arms suppliers. We have seen Dimapur as a point of illegal arms dealings and now Guwahati, too, is fast being used as transit point. The city shares a boundary with Meghalaya and is connected by railways and hence, criminals and arms dealers are using it for arms transportation. We will have to improve our intelligence network," Bishnoi said.
The police had seized four pistols and arrested two GNLA cadres at Jorabat in March, five were arrested with sophisticated arms like HK rifles in Gorchuk and Sonapur in May and again at Gorchuk in June.
"We managed to make five seizures but they might have transported a lot more through Guwahati. So, we have to improve our intelligence network. Most of the arms are sold in Dimapur and are later transported through Guwahati," Bishnoi said.
The police had also made many seizures at Guwahati railway station while the arms were being transported outside the region on trains from Dimapur.
"In the earlier cases, we had found that the arms were supplied by the NSCN but we are probing to find out which group had supplied the arms seized last night. We will also try to find out the nexus of GNLA with other militant groups like Ulfa, the NDFB and NSCN," Bishnoi said.
Asked about Nagaland police's role in checking illegal arms transportation through Guwahati, Bishnoi said, "They help us when we provide them with specific information."

Is This "Rent-A-Wife" Service Offensive?
For $40 an hour, a new business allows you to outsource all the crap you don't have time to do like go to the post office, return stuff at Target or organize your underwear drawer (GOD, YES!). Founded by a Los Angeles business woman, Juliette Bresnahan's "Rent-A-Wife" service offers a different "wife" packages, from "The Starter Wife" to the "The Trophy Wife," depending on how much crap you need help with. And no, there are no conjugal visits included in these services. Ironically, Bresnahan claims most of their clients are not single men who need their ironing done, but busy, working women who don't have time to bake cupcakes for that baby shower.
The website describes the wifely duties included in the service as:
"We can be your Girl Friday, your Handyman, your Suzie Homemaker, and your Rosie the Riveter all rolled up into one. We can wait in line at the Post Office, the DMV, the return line at Target or even the voting polls while you show up just in the nick of time. We can pick up your kids from school and deliver them to soccer, [with or without cupcakes]. We can organize your Tupperware, spice drawer and even your undies. We can plan your parties, send the invites, make the space look fabulous, and rent the bouncy house or the bartender. We can coordinate your home improvement projects with Bob the builder, choose paint colors, stage your furniture and take your house from drab to fab. We can transform your office into a money factory, sell your treasures on Craigslist, assemble your Ikea furniture, cook your meals, and walk your dog. We can manage your move out of the old and into the new with ease and TLC. We can plan your vacation, be your airport shuttle, Facebook the photos and watch your house & pets without setting off the alarm."
I swear, they copied and pasted the job description from all my very worst personal assistant gigs. All I would add to the list is "acting as a go-between for wife and husband who may be getting a divorce," "hiding mother's weed from her kids" and "changing the dog's diapers." Yes. REALLY.
So, you may be wondering what the problem is? Because actually, I am frothing at the mouth to outsource the cleaning out of my closet. As NYMag.com points out, the name implies that wives are indentured servants or personal assistants or glorified babysitters or all of the above. "Bresnahan should reconsider what she's calling this service, because it both conjures up some kind of perverted domestic fantasy and equates being a wife to being a servant/personal assistant with great skill in negotiating a contract."
If the angle of the company was different, I would probably consider hiring them. What about you? Would you rent a "Trophy Wife" to put together your new IKEA dresser? [NYMag/The Cut]

For a province known for its wooden boats, quirky ways, and its slower pace of life, Newfoundland and Labrador has been ahead of the rest of the world in a lot of respects. Throughout its history (and even prehistory), the province has been a trend-setter and taste-maker. Because of our 30 minute time zone, we get a lot of firsts: the first sunrise in North America, the first New Year's party every year, and we even get to see blockbuster movies before everyone else (if only 30 minutes earlier). But these are not the only ways we are ahead of the game. Newfoundland and Labrador has had a front-row seat to history, watching the world change – and then watching the rest of the world catch up!
30 Sep 2014 by Andrew Hiscock in Food & Dining and Cultural Experiences
To a citizen of Newfoundland and Labrador, there is nothing as beautiful as a cod fish. And perhaps that is why you'll be able to find a different, perhaps more conventional, form of beauty on the Baccalieu Trail (deriving its name from the Portuguese word for cod). And that is the beauty of love! Just a 30 minute drive from the province's largest city of St. John's, this scenic drive winds through picture-perfect towns and stunning landscapes, making it the ideal place to lose yourself with your love on a romantic getaway.
26 Sep 2014 by Andrew Hiscock in Hiking & Walking , Nature , History , Geography , Trinity and Outdoor Adventure
Newfoundland and Labrador has a wealth of great hiking trails, some of the best in the world. There's something special about the trails that head to the top of a hill. They provide a definite sense of accomplishment, even on the most modest ascents, and they will supply spectacular views of the surrounding towns and landscapes. This isn't an exhaustive list, but these are four of our favourites in Eastern Newfoundland. And they may not be Mount Everest, but they'll make you feel like you're on top of the world!

Few examples of medieval Islamic jewelry survive, leaving scholars to rely on depictions of jewelry in manuscript paintings of the period for evidence of their appearance. Imagery from Ilkhanid and later period painting reveals that necklaces sharing some details with the jewelry elements shown here were worn by women in the fourteenth to sixteenth century in Iran and Central Asia.

Tucked away in the northern reaches of the North Pennines, Williamston Barns sits in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with stunning scenery and wildlife, as well as endless opportunities for walking, cycling and country sports right on the doorstep. Spread across 1000 acres of rolling countryside and lush river valleys, a stay at the Barns promises a luxury escape away from the madding crowd.
Beautifully restored and converted, Williamston Barns can accommodate up to fourteen people and will appeal to extended families and larger groups who wish to holiday together amidst stunning surroundings. The property comprises two interconnecting units (The Barn & The Cowshed) set-out in a companiable open plan layout with plenty of space for relaxation or social gatherings.
The original barn opening extends into a spacious entrance hallway leading to a fantastic open plan kitchen and dining area with beautifully exposed brickwork and high quality finishes throughout. For entertaining, the dining area can seat up to 14 guests for simple suppers or elaborate dinner parties, while large sliding doors lead out to a south facing terrace and garden for a leisurely aperitif in the early evening sun.
Upstairs on the first floor, the lofty light-filled living space benefits from a number of superb architectural features and offers a perfect excuse to unwind in front of the cosy wood burning stove, spend quality time with friends and family, or simply enjoy the spectacular uninterrupted views across the valley and fellside.
The seven en-suite bedrooms offer flexible accommodation for guests and are all beautifully appointed with crisp linens, sumptuous beds, and finest quality cushions and throws from Johnstons Cashmere.
Willamston has a sustainable ethos at its heart and the Barn benefits from underfloor heating supplied from a biomass woodchip boiler; stoves fuelled by seasoned wood from the farm; electricity generated from its own 6kw wind turbine; and fresh filtered water from its own spring source.
For smaller parties, Williamston Barns can be let as two separate units - The Barn (sleeps 8) in four en-suite bedrooms, and The Cowshed (sleeps 6) in three en-suite bedrooms.
The pretty market town of Alston lies 5 miles from the property, noted for its cobbled streets and 17th century buildings as well as The Pennine Way, the UK's first national walking trail which passes nearby. Having featured in a number of period dramas for TV and film, the village is a popular tourist spot and offers a small selection of village shops for essential provisions.
The Moody Baker comes highly recommended, including fresh made-to-order bakery produce for next day collection. You will find delicious local deli foods and Northumbrian and Cumbrian cheeses from Alston Wholefoods or there is a small Co-op supermarket and Spar shop for day-to-day essentials. For eating out, the Kirkstyle Inn in nearby Slaggyford is a popular spot, renowned for friendly service and good home cooking.
Sitting in over 1000 acres, Williamston Barns are perfectly placed for outdoor pursuits right from the doorstep. The owners have created a number of local walks around the farm and local area taking in short riverside trails to scenic valley views. Walk to the top of the moor and enjoy a picnic lunch or a toasty fire at the old shepherd's hut, or take in the stunning scenery and wildlife of the South Tyne valley, perhaps stopping along the way for a welcome refreshment at the dog-friendly Kirkstyle Inn.
There is a fantastic variety of wildlife and birdlife across the area, including red squirrels and roe deer which can be viewed close to the barns, as well as oyster catchers, dippers and the occasional kingfisher on the river. Watch kestrels, sparrowhawks and buzzards on the fell, or you may be lucky enough to spot Blackgrouse and Greyhen's on the moor. Guided wildlife tours can be arranged on request.
For those interested in field sports, the estate offers some challenging shooting with walked-up grouse days for up to 4 guns from mid September, or mixed walked-up shooting days for pheasant, partridge and woodcock later in the season. For fishing, the estate have a mile of single bank fishing on the South Tyne for brown trout, while good fishing for salmon and sea-trout can be had from August to October providing the river conditions are right.
For cycling, Williamston sits on National Cycle Route 68, and just north of the Coast to Coast cycle route for those seeking more challenging high energy treks. Alternatively there are plenty of local trails for all ages and abilities including a leisurely 10 mile loop along the South Tyne valley, or a 9 mile stretch running along the old railway line taking in Lambley Viaduct.
Short breaks are available outwith high season and last minute enquiries are welcome. Please visit our website for full property details, rates, availability and on-line booking at www.crabtreeandcrabtree.com or call us on Tel. +44 (0)1573 226711. We would be delighted to hear from you.

Transport Canada announced last month that Montreal Dorval Airport will be officially renamed Pierre Elliot Trudeau International Airport to honor Canada's former prime minister. The name change won't take effect, however, until January 1, and the YUL identifier will be retained. Trudeau, who served as PM from 1968 to 1979 and then again from 1980 to 1984, died from cancer on Sept. 28, 2000, at the age of 80. The name Dorval dates back to 1666 and a community named after a settler who owned land on which the airport would later be built. Dorval became a city in 1956 and was merged into Montreal last year.

For over twenty years, I abandoned my passion for barefoot water skiing until my husband sent me a link to a TODAY show segment featuring a 66-year-old woman barefooting: Barefoot Skier is Landing on her Feet at 66. At the age of 44, I picked up that passion once again and began competing.
So when a new friend threw me a question, he received a response he didn't bargain for. My friend wrote:
"I don't know what it's like to be deaf, but I do know what it's like when something is important to a person," a new friend wrote. "I have a question for you, if God or man came up with a solution to restore your hearing, and in exchange you had to give up barefooting, which would you take? I'd bet the farm that you'd take the deal."
And to this new friend's surprise, I'd take the barefooting over restored hearing.
You see, I've been deaf so many years now it is just a part of me. In fact, becoming deaf turned out to be a blessing. I've long moved past the stage of grief and into living. I still go through periods of time when I get down about the communication difficulties and wish for hearing. I had a lot of moments like that yesterday when I struggled to understand the conversations flowing around me at the Nationals barefoot tournament. But to give up a passion? No can do.
Now if I could have both, that'd be a different story…
How about you? If you had to choose between your hearing or your passion in life, (the one thing you really love to do, the thing that lights your soul on fire), which would you choose?

In 2006, Obama labor secretary nominee Thomas Perez wrote a nasty op-ed in Mother Jones, criticizing Senator Tom Coburn for his amendment (which didn't go anywhere) that would have overturned a Clinton executive order that resulted in some doctors being forced to hire translators for medical patients with limited to no English. Three years later, Perez was up to be confirmed by the Senate for a post at the Justice Department — and Coburn hadn't forgotten. Read my piece here.

The improved treatment of patients who are suffering with HIV has contributed to a large reduction in the number of people dying from the disease.
Figures from the Aids charity Avert found that during the last five years the number of deaths attributed to the virus has decreased by 21 per cent.
A spokeswoman for the organisation stated that the infection rate is also falling, as since 2001 the amount of people diagnosed worldwide has decreased by 15 per cent.
"Overall, the prospects for those living with the virus have improved greatly as a result of increased access to treatment and new scientific breakthroughs," she said.
Much of the success is down to the fact that many more sufferers now have access to the drugs.
In the UK, an estimated 86,500 people had been infected by the virus at the end of 2009. Of these around 25 per cent were unaware they were affected, according to Avert.

While in residence in Rome, I hope to collect from members of the Academy community descriptions of and reflections on their recent aesthetic experiences – with works of art, architecture and other design arts, gardens and thoughtfully-prepared food.
Volunteers will be invited to speak or write about whichever experiences they choose and may participate as many times as they wish. There are precedents for using language as a window into the types of thinking that are engaged (see below). In this project, it will be important to capture participants' actual words, via audio recording or in written form. My interest is in examining what commonalities of critical and aesthetic thought might be found across the domains of art, design and culinary art. Read the rest of this entry »

Christian Cullen scored two tries and a dropped goal as Munster demolished the Cardiff Blues at Thomond Park.
The former All Black legend was in sparkling form with Munster skipper Jim Williams, Paul Devlin and Rob Henderson also chipping in with tries.
Ronan O'Gara added five penalties and a couple of conversions for Munster.
Cardiff, though, had taken an early lead with tries by Craig Quinnell and Kort Schubert. Fly-half Lee Thomas kicked two penalties and a conversion.
Two Blues tries in the first 13 minutes from Quinnell and Schubert rocked the home side.
A quick tap by Zimbabwean Dean Dewdney caught the Munster rearguard flat-footed after only four minutes, and 20-stone Quinnell bulldozed over.
O'Gara planted a quick reply through the Blues' uprights six minutes later, but American Schubert, having charged down Peter Stringer's clearance to touch down, although like four of the game's tries, there were question marks over them.
Cullen then sprung onto the scene when he chased O'Gara's grubber through to outpace Rhys Williams on 26 minutes with O'Gara converting.
Thomas edged the visitors back in front on the half-hour but O'Gara's fourth penalty ensured
a home lead at the break.
Jim Williams then added Munster's
second try when he fended off the challenge of Blues skipper Martyn Williams to cross on 44
A second Thomas penalty kept the Blues in the hunt at 29-18 down, but Munster
stretched clear as Devlin scored his first try for Munster and Cullen grabbed his second when he pounced on an O'Gara kick.
He also rattled over a 68th minute drop goal before Henderson late try confirmed Munster's rise up the table.
Munster: C Cullen; J Kelly, S Payne, R Henderson, A Horgan; R O'Gara, P Stringer; M Horan, F Sheahan, J Hayes, P O'Connell, T Hogan, J Williams, D Leamy, A Foley (capt).
Replacements: J Flannery, G McIlwham, T Bowman, A Quinlan, M Prendergast, P Burke, P Devlin.

EAST HANOVER, N.J., April 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Novartis announced today that early stage data on 19 investigational compounds in its oncology pipeline will be presented at the annual meeting of the American Association of Cancer Research (AACR), April 5-9, 2014 in San Diego, CA. The AACR annual meeting highlights basic, translational and clinical discoveries in oncology. The investigational compounds featured in these Novartis studies are directed at multiple molecular targets and pathways. Currently Novartis Oncology is exploring more than 30 targets involved in cancer1.
"Our research approach is driven by an understanding of cancers on a genomic level and developing therapies directed at those targets," said Alessandro Riva, President, Novartis Oncology ad interim and Global Head, Oncology Development and Medical Affairs. "The AACR presentations demonstrate the depth and breadth of our pipeline, which allows us to test various combinations at an early stage to target different pathways and mutations involved in cancer."
Among the data being presented are single agent and combination studies with key investigational compounds in the Novartis Oncology breast cancer development program, including an early phase study of the CDK4/6 inhibitor LEE011 and PI3K inhibitors BKM120 and BYL719. LEE011 and BKM120 are currently in Phase III and BYL719 is in Phase I trials for the treatment of advanced breast cancer.
In addition, preclinical data on ALK-inhibitor LDK378 (ceritinib) in ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) will be presented at the meeting. LDK378 was granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2013 and is currently under review by the FDA.
Early data will be presented on three additional investigational compounds including BGJ398, a highly specific fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) inhibitor that Novartis is exploring in a variety of FGFR-driven solid tumors. A Phase I study of BGJ398 provides the first clinical evidence of activity against cancers that are driven by dysregulation of the FGFR pathway. In addition, the first data on CGM097, a selective p53-Mdm2 inhibitor currently under evaluation in Phase I trials in patients with p53 wild type tumors, and EGF816, a mutant-selective third generation EGFR inhibitor that is entering Phase I trials, will be presented.
More than 50 abstracts involving Novartis investigational compounds will be presented at AACR, including:
About LEE011, BKM120, BYL719, LDK378, BGJ398, CGM097, LGX818 and EGF816Because these are investigational compounds, the safety and efficacy profiles of LEE011, BKM120, BYL719, LDK378, BGJ398, CGM097, LGX818 and EGF816 have not yet been established. Access to these investigational compounds is available only through carefully controlled and monitored clinical trials. These trials are designed to better understand the potential benefits and risks of the treatments. Because of the uncertainty of clinical trials, there is no guarantee that LEE011, BKM120, BYL719, LDK378, BGJ398, CGM097, LGX818 and EGF816 will ever be commercially available anywhere in the world. The prefix NVP before a code name is the same compound as the code name alone.
LEE011 was discovered as part of a drug discovery collaboration between the Novartis Institutes for BioMedical Research and Astex Pharmaceuticals.
The BYL719 and BGJ398 abstracts will be presented as part of an official AACR press briefing on Tuesday April 8 at 7:30 a.m. PT in room 15B of the San Diego Convention Center. Reporters unable to attend in person can dial in by calling 1 (866) 297-6395 (US/Canada) or 1 (847) 944-7317 (International), confirmation code: 36855822.

Must Know tips for Travelling Solo
According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics the fastest-growing household type in Australia is 'lone-person households' which are anticipated to grow to about three million by 2031.
With that in mind tour companies and hotels will be wanting to attract this new demographic, so do your research before you pay a hefty single supplement.
The last time I travelled on my own was to a blog conference in Melbourne, which was kind of businessy, and before that it was as a backpacker, years ago when I set off with a couple of T-shirts, two pairs of pants, a pair of shorts, a sarong, a packet of Imodium and a whole lot of gung-ho.
And it was GREAT FUN. Then I got married, had kids, and travel was still wonderful. We travelled in Europe (How to Travel with Kids the Easy Way), Asia and Africa, but it was all encompassing what with nappies and kids toys, and later on often with childrens' friends tagging along too.
I'm not sure how I would feel about travelling for an extended period on my own now.
And it got me thinking.
Business people do it all the time, but they travel in a reasonably controlled environment and are not on the road doing the exploratory thing. If you're setting out on a holiday, then you may have to pluck up some courage to hit the road on your own again.
Be bold and just do it.
Because the good news is that there's no need to feel discriminated against as a single traveler and it's a great way to make new friends.
Read on for some great tips
Hook up to a Tour Group – Remember that tour operators have better buying power and there is safety in numbers.
There are some seasoned tour companies around, and not all of them are of the frog-march variety. I've been on some awesome deals, in China for instance to the Great Wall of China, in Nepal on a river rafting trip, and I'm looking forward to going on a Kimberley tour with Adventure Wild 'glamping' in outback Western Australia.
Carolyn Schonafinger from Holidays to Europe, an online travel company specialising in European holidays is open to helping solo travellers. "We are passionate about sharing our European travel expertise with you and helping you to experience the holiday in Europe you have always dreamed of. Whether you are a solo traveller, couple, a family, or a group of friends, we offer a huge range of tours, accommodation and transport options for you to choose from," she says.
Look out for best deals
Ask companies if they offer deals for solo travelers:- Hunt down those companies or hotels who are prepared to waive the single supplement. Do a Google search for "single travel" or "single travel tours" and you'll be surprised by how the travel industry is responding to this growing demographic of solos.
I asked some seasoned travel bloggers for their tips and advice about travelling on your own. Here's what they had to say:-
Jenny Freedman from A Taste of Travel Blog is a travel veteran. "Traveling independently needn't be difficult. But you must plan ahead. Book up early if you're thinking of staying in hostels because the best ones get full quickly – and hostels generally don't have as many single rooms available compared to doubles or dorms. Remember that word gets around in the solo travelling community – so talk to people, as well as checking out websites (such as Lonely Planet) and other travel forums."
"If you're on a budget then get a list of 1 and 2 star hostels and find the best that's on offer. If you're thinking of travelling by train then get your train pass before you leave home, not when you arrive in the country.
"For me, research is important. It's important to work out a rough plan of where you think you would like to go and check out hotels or hostels in these cities. As I said, the best hostels and cheaper hotels get booked out in advance, so if you are prepared with a few options before you leave home, it can take the hassle out of travelling on your own. Don't forget that in Greece and Croatia especially, the ferries are met by people offering rooms to rent- these can also be a cheap option."
"If you are travelling with a company, then look for those that offer different accommodation levels. If you are on your own but don't want to pay the single supplement, the company will often team you up with another traveler of a similar age. It could be the start of a beautiful friendship!!"
"Backpackers may like to check out 'Busabout' – a great way to travel and meet other solo travelers. They follow specific routes but cover a lot of countries. If you want to travel by train in Europe then buy your Eurorail pass before you leave home."
Caz Makepeace from YTravelBlog has this to say:-
Trust your intuition
"It always knows best. If something doesn't feel right, then don't do it. There is a reason why you get that unsettled feeling in your stomach when you meet that strange person on the beach."
"Don't freak yourself out by imaginary monsters, but definitely pay attention to those little messages our animal instincts give us."
Caz, has been travelling the world on her own and latterly with her hubby and two children for about 10 years. She's written a post about female solo travel over at YTravelblog. You might want to check out her tips …http://www.ytravelblog.com/female-solo-travel-tips/
Amanda Kendle is a blogger and social media consultant in Perth who has travelled all over the world. After living in Japan, Slovakia and Germany, she returned to Australia full of travel tales and she writes about these at NotABallerina.com.
"The best tip anyone ever gave me as a solo travel was to always keep a book in your bag. That way, you can eat alone at a restaurant and read your book at the same time – you won't feel strange for eating alone and you'll get to enjoy your book, too!"
Regarding safety
"When I travel solo, I am extra careful to pack really light, and to make sure whatever I need to carry around (either during the day when sightseeing, or when moving to a new city or accommodation) is as easy as possible for me to deal with – I deliberately take a lot less. That way, I don't feel "trapped" by heavy bags and if I'm walking along somewhere that feels a little unsafe, I can still walk fast enough to get to a better spot," says Amanda.
Annabel Candy, a freelance writer has traveled in over 40 countries. She writes a popular travel blog at Get In the Hot Spot.
"Solo travelers can get the best deals by waiting until they get to their destination before booking if they are brave enough. If you're there and a hotel has a room available, the chances are you can get a good deal on it just by being there and by being prepared to negotiate. I think people are afraid to bargain but it's a great skill to use even in developed countries don't be afraid to ask something like, "Can you give me a special deal if I stay a week?"
"Often by arriving at a place with no booking you'll find new hotels that haven't got any customers yet who will be happy to have you and by staying in one place longer you always get a better deal."
"Travel safety is important for solo travelers but no more so than anyone else. I always recommend leaving your flashy jewellery at home, losing the camera round your neck that screams tourist, and steering clear of areas you don't know after dark."
"I scan a copy of my passport and other important documents then email them to myself before leaving home so there's always a back up online accessible from anywhere just in case I do lose anything," says Annabel.

Opening up about the molestation she first suffered at five years old, the 'Dancing with the Stars' dancer reveals she initially had no idea why his behavior was considered improper.
Professional dancer and U.S. reality TV star Cheryl Burke has opened up about the molestation horror she suffered as a child in a bid to help others who have struggled through similar experiences. The "Dancing with the Stars" regular tells all in her new book, "Dancing Lessons", revealing she was first assaulted at the age of five by a retired mailman in her neighborhood in San Francisco, California.
The molestation continued for some time and it was only when he was accused of preying on other children that Burke's own abuse was discovered, although the confused kid struggled to understand why his behavior was so inappropriate. He was arrested and put on trial and Burke was among the witnesses called to testify during the court proceedings, reports People magazine.
She writes in her book, "I felt guilty for wanting his love and affection. (Testifying) was the hardest thing I've ever done... I saw his face and lawyers were asking me these questions and I was like, 'What am I doing? Did he even do anything wrong?' " He was convicted of the crimes and imprisoned, and it was only years later that Burke managed to come to terms with the seriousness of the situation.
And she's been inspired to speak out about her child abuse to show others that they too can overcome the trauma. She says, "I'm telling my story. They're not secrets. There's no shame... If I can help just one person, for me that's all that matters."

Birmingham: Bradford City's players struggled to suppress their amazement after pulling off an astonishing 4-3 aggregate win over English Premier League club Aston Villa to reach the League Cup final.
Bradford, from English football's fourth tier and with a squad assembled for barely £7500 ($11,300), had already eliminated Arsenal and Wigan Athletic in the competition and stood on the brink of the final after winning 3-1 in the first leg.
They had to endure a nervy finish at Villa Park, however, with Andreas Weimann's 89th-minute goal putting Villa 2-1 up on the night and within a goal of forcing extra time before the final whistle sounded to confirm Bradford's ticket to Wembley.
Bradford have not reached a major final since winning the FA Cup in 1911. They will become the first fourth-tier club since Rochdale in 1962 to grace a League Cup final.
''This is dreamland,'' said goalkeeper Matt Duke, whose razor-sharp reflexes played a pivotal part in Bradford's success over the two legs.
''Hopefully we will have a great following at Wembley and do the club proud. I am not convinced it will ever sink in. You dream of this as a kid, playing at Wembley.''

You can either enter the house through the main entry, which leads into the living room, or through the back entry door, which brings you to the mudroom/laundry room. In the main entry, there is a powder room to the right, and a stairwell to the left. Straight ahead is the living room, with a two–story vaulted ceiling in the center, and exposed timber frame construction. From the entry, one can see out the wall of windows and doors, which line one side of the living room, to the exterior patio. To the right of the living room is a dining room nestled in one corner, and a kitchen with room enough for a center island and a desk in the corner. Off the kitchen is the mudroom and back entry, as well as a walk–in pantry.
The living room is anchored by a stone fireplace and doors to the master bedroom and sunroom. The master bedroom boasts an extra large bathroom, with a separate toilet room, shower and tub, as well as a dressing room. From here you can access the sunroom directly to sit on the window seat, or access the exterior patio that is off the sunroom.
Upstairs, two additional bedrooms and a full bath are connected with an open bridge–like walkway. The optional basement is designed to accommodate a variety of additional spaces. On either side of an attached two–car garage are spaces large enough to fit a "mother–in–law" apartment with separate entrance, a media and game room, abundant storage, or anything else the owner might desire.
If one desires an accessible design, the garage can be moved to the main level as a separate structure, which is then connected through the mudroom with an enclosed breezeway. In this scheme, an elevator to the second floor can be incorporated into the entry for full accessibility.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 14/8/2013 (1469 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
It's a charming place, with a pleasantly understated dining room on one side of the entrance, a comfy-looking lounge on the other and a pretty, greenery-sheltered patio in front. The menu is contemporary Italian and priced affordably, with pastas from $13 to $16, including soup and salad, and a few dinner entrees from $14 to $18, including salad and two sides. Chaise has almost everything going for it -- everything but food and service that (on four different tries) were so uneven I'm unable to recommend any particular dish with confidence.
There were some good choices, but satisfaction may depend on what you order, and when. If you're lucky, your hanger steak might equal the last one I had -- marinated in olive oil with onions and garlic, and perfectly tender and flavourful ($18). If you're not lucky, you'll get the flavourless, chewy steak of an earlier dinner. Ditto the three listed soups: savoury mushroom; creamy potato, kale and sausage; and the robust ribollita of bread, beans and greens in a savoury tomato broth, which were all lovely on one visit, but on another the ribollita was an unappetizing mess, with no beans, no greens, no bread and no savour in the broth.
Some items are probably more reliable than others: the delicious roasted marrow bone, for instance -- split down the middle and topped with escargots, with crisp little crostini for the marrow ($12). Or the grilled caesar salad -- a wedge of romaine topped by capers, bits of salami and anchovy-flavoured crumbs ($6).
Judging by my flavourful thin-crusted pizza, topped minimally but tastily by pepperoni and black olives, the pizzas should be good bets. The toppings can be ordered either on pizzas ($14 and $15) or in calzones ($10 and $11). Both come with a salad, and the calzones include the thick house-made chips as well. For $2 extra you can add a poutine of those chips, with curds and good gravy, and which -- even without a trace of the promised candied bacon -- was delicious (missing promised ingredients was a recurring problem).
Some of the sampled pastas were pretty good. The puttanesca has been dropped from the menu -- a pity, since it was one of the better ones, zesty with capers, anchovies and olives. Spaghetti in a light lemon juice and white wine sauce with capers was tasteless on one visit, but tasty on another, even though there was very little of the promised spinach and none at all of the grana padano cheese. I might have liked the pastas more if they hadn't been tightly crammed into high, narrow bowls, with no room to breathe.
Five dinner entrées are served after 5 p.m., and my first dinner could only be described as a fiasco, a word I wouldn't use loosely or lightly. I liked the house-made rolls and the included salad. The brined, smoked pork belly entrée was tender and tasty and, although the mushroom risotto wasn't creamy or al dente (actually more like a pilaf than a risotto), it tasted good. But that was as good as it got.
As for the rest, I hardly know where to begin. The service was so inept our appetizers didn't come until almost an hour after we'd ordered them, and our cocktails at least 15 minutes after that, and only with continued pleading. Or with that poor first hanger steak. Or the fact they forgot our salads. Or that the only entrée of fish was unavailable. Or -- worst of all -- the "slow-roasted" quarter chicken, said to have been marinated in citrus, thyme and cloves, that turned out to be an unpleasant, rubbery, juiceless mass with no flavour whatever and nothing about it that suggested roasting. Adding insult to injury, it was perched on a huge bowl crammed with a gummy mass of pasta.
The otherwise good, thick-cut potato chips were over-salted to inedibility. Whipped potatoes were tasteless. They were out of the cauliflower au gratin, we were told (before six p.m., in an empty dining room), and only carrots were available, but then one serving of cauliflower did turn up without explanation and without flavour. And the problems with the service continued through a dinner that dragged out to over three hours. Some dishes were comped, and apologies were constant and profuse, both to my group and to other diners that night.
In fact, I felt that something had gone so catastrophically wrong I waited six more weeks to give the kitchen time to correct whatever it was that needed correcting. And six weeks later the service was immeasurably better. I had hoped the food would be too, but -- apart from the hanger steak described above -- it didn't rise above mere adequacy, if that. Three big, croquette-like risotto balls with bits of mushroom were longer on crunch than flavour ($4) and the pork belly appetizer, unlike the entrée of the previous dinner, was hard and dry, tasting faintly of smoke, and the bed of "velvety" polenta was grainy ($12).
The pan-fried steelhead trout was available that night, but with a slightly watery flavour and not a drop of the "decadent creamy dill sauce." It was at least edible, but it was a toss-up as to which chicken dish was worse: the unadorned one of the first dinner or the revised one of the second, which was still big, rubbery and tasteless (despite a thin streak of figs in the middle) with one surface charred almost black, wrapped in a minuscule slice of prosciutto, and cloaked in a totally incongruous tomato sauce. It too was served over lightly tomato-sauced spaghetti -- not an unappetizing mass this time, and actually, the best part of the dish.
Cauliflower au gratin was still tasteless and almost cheeseless; whipped potatoes were still bland; and sautéed red cabbage -- which might have been good -- was cold. Desserts look lavish and are OK, if not exceptional. The coconut cream pie was too dense, but a chocolate mint layer cake tasted good, albeit almost fork-proof.
Chaise may be loaded with charm, but charm is no substitute for substance and consistency, and both of those are in short supply.

Cain: Increased enrollment is good news for Ellsworth schools
The number of students attending public schools in the Ellsworth Community School District is seven more than last year, reported Superintendent Barry Cain Monday night.
District administrators had expected a decline of 26 students and were pleasantly surprised at the increase, said Cain, calling this "a very positive trend."
This year the district's overall student count was 1,649 for the third Friday in September, an official count day, said Cain.
Since third-Friday counts influence the amount of state funding the district will get next year, this is good news for Ellsworth, he said.
Cain said the district saw many new students enrolling in June, July and especially August.
He said the most significant increase was at Hillcrest Elementary, which had 299 students last year and has 345 now.
In a funding-related matter, the board agreed to meet at 6 p.m. Oct. 22 to finalize the 2012-2013 budget. The district will receive information regarding equalized valuations, its revenue limit and amount of general state aid on Oct. 15, said Cain.

Overview of South Boston
Transforming from its humble Irish Catholic origins, the South Boston neighborhood has been experiencing steady growth from the droves of young professionals and families who are migrating to the area. With its rich heritage and low crime rates, South Boston is filled with residents who put their hearts and souls into making sure the neighborhood is a tight-knit community. But with all the amenities of living in South Boston, it's no wonder so many people have been jumping on the bandwagon. With miles of local beaches, plenty of family-friendly activities, and a quick commute to downtown Boston, this neighborhood is a relaxing escape from the fast pace of inner-city life.
South Boston Apartments & Info
As a general guideline: rent for a studio apartment in South Boston averages $2000-$2500 per month. One bedrooms run between $2500-$3000, two bedrooms between $3000-3500, and three bedrooms from $3500 and up plus deposit and utilities. Even though crime isn't much of a concern in this area, most of our South Boston apartments for rent are located in secured buildings with controlled access. Included in that large price tag are community amenities like dog runs, community pools, gardens, game rooms, concierge services, grilling areas, and fitness centers.
South Boston Restaurants, Attractions, & Local Activities
With all the new buyers and renters in town, the restaurants and bars in South Boston had to really step up their game. With new places popping up every day, restaurants in the neighborhood cover a diverse range of cuisines including everything from French to Mexican, Japanese to, of course, fresh caught seafood. And if you're looking for a way to forget the work week or end the night, there are all sorts wine bars and unique cocktails menus to choose from throughout South Boston.
For a more adventurous outing, there are tons of attractions in Boston that are definitely worth checking out. Catch a game at Fenway Park, take a boat trip around Boston Harbor, visit the John F. Kennedy library, or tour the Boston Museum of Fine Art. South Boston itself is home to the South Boston Speedway, Carson Beach, and the Strandway, so you don't have to go far for a variety of exciting activities.
South Boston Pet friendly Apartments & Amenities
Finding a home for you and your pet should be no problem, as most of the South Boston apartments for rent allow both dogs and cats. Renting with a pet can sometimes be a pain in the you-know-what, but many rentals in the neighborhood make it easier by offering pet runs and designated outdoor spaces for animals. South Boston has a large selection of local pet stores, including Massachusetts BYOD Dog Wash, D'tails Pet Boutique, and Bark Place; plus the local Bark Park, Peter's Park Dog Run, and Carlton Court Dog Park offer plenty of space to exercise your furry friend in a place created just for them. For those annual check-ups, there are a ton of local options ranging from animal hospitals to private veterinary care to choose from.
Commuting From South Boston
Put away those car keys, because South Boston is very well served by public transit. The Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority has many bus stops throughout the area and buses that run to downtown Boston regularly. The Red Line light rail connects South Boston to the University of Massachusetts, Harvard, and MIT. If you're traveling out of town, train access through Amtrak is available at several places in the neighborhood. There are even ferries that visitors, workers, and students can use to get to and from many locations in and around Boston. For those that do still prefer to be behind the wheel, highway 58 and highway 70 are your quickest routes in and out of South Boston.
South Boston Schools & Educational Options
There are many different public school districts that serve the neighborhood of South Boston, and the area you live in will dictate which zone you fall under. Boston Public School District serves the greatest area of the community, and the schools in South Boston are highly regarded by the community. There are also several private schools, charter schools, and Catholic schools to choose from. While the local schools are known for testing well and providing a great education, we always recommend talking to other parents and doing your research to find the school that is right for your little scholar.

Students Get DWI Demonstration
Fairfax County Police Department
Students Get DWI Demonstration
Today students from Edison High School got to witness a Driving While Intoxicated demonstration put on by Franconia District police officers. During the demonstration, officers simulated a minor accident caused by an intoxicated subject played by PFC Tim Wallace. The investigating officer, PFC Scott Shafer, requested Wallace complete a battery of field sobriety tests. During the tests, it was clear that the driver was intoxicated and was subsequently arrested.
Students cheered when Wallace was seated in the back of Shafer's police car. When asked about the impact of the demonstration, Edison senior Darius Jones stated, "He couldn't even walk straight! You can't drink and drive. I think this will teach kids a lot." Jones added that he is not a drinker and that his beliefs on the topic are influenced directly from his mother.
"This is really good with Prom coming up", stated Sophomore Joanna Escobar. She added, "I have heard that some people think they can drive better when they're drunk, and they can't. They would go to jail if they had to do those tests."
Special thanks to Principal Greg Croghan and his staff at the school for bringing the students out to watch the demonstration. We wish everyone a safe and happy summer and congratulate all the area graduates!

Prince William won't be spending Easter weekend with his wife, Kate Middleton, or their two kids, Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
Instead, he'll be attending the wedding of his ex-girlfriend and longtime friend, Jecca Craig, who is saying "I Do" to Jonathan Baillie at her family's Lewa Wildlife Conservancy in Isiolo, Kenya, on Saturday, a source confirmed to ET.
WATCH: Kate Middleton Reveals Why She Gets Teased By the Royal Family
Although Middleton reportedly won't be in attendance, Craig has proved she and William are just friendly exes. After all, she did attend the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's royal wedding in 2011!
ET has learned that William is "in Kenya this weekend on a private trip" scheduled around Easter, as confirmed by Kensington Palace.
And it looks like he's already making the most of his trip! On Thursday, William met with Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta.

"Great to have #PrinceWilliam witness elephant & rhino conservation in action today with KWS vet and rangers in Kenya," a tweet from the Tusk Trust read.

"George is only 2½ and he calls her 'Gan-Gan,'" the Duchess revealed in ITV's Our Queen at Ninety, her first solo interview since tying the knot with William. "She always leaves a little gift or something in their room when we go and stay, and that just shows her love for her family."

DETROIT - LAs the weather becomes warmer more and more pet lovers are heading outdoors with their dogs.
Before you take your dog anywhere, make sure your faithful family member is protected against a deadly and highly contagious virus commonly found outdoors.
Parvovirus, known as parvo, is highly contagious and often a death sentence for a dog. Young dogs and especially puppies who haven't been vaccinated properly fall victim quickly to the virus says Gina DeLuca a licensed veterinary technician and co-owner of 4 Paws 1 Heart.
Dogs can catch parvo by coming into direct contact with the virus, usually through dog waste or from any object another infected dog had contact with. The virus is not contagious to people.
DeLuca says she has seen her fair share of puppies die from the virus.
"Parvo virus can be very costly to treat, on average $600-$2,500. 4 Paws 1 Heart has treated all of the animals in these pictures, but there were a handful here that did not survive the virus," she said
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Depression
- Lethargy
"Immediately seek veterinary care if you puppy is showing any of these signs," said DeLuca. "Quick treatment can make survival greater, but there are no guarantees. Without treatment your puppy will probably suffer to death."
Parvo is preventable:
The good news for dog owners is that parvo is completely preventable through routine vaccinations.
DeLuca recommends finding a veterinarian as soon as you bring a new puppy into your family to start the vaccination process right away. Until a dog is fully vaccinated and protected from the virus, owners should avoid taking their pets to public places and should limited access to other dogs.
Low-cost vaccinations:
The Michigan Humane Society offers low-cost vaccinations against Distemper, Parvovirus, Rabies and other deadly diseases through their Protect-A-Pet clinics.
To find out more about Protect-A-Pet clinic dates and locations visit the michiganhumane.org.
4 Paws 1 Heart is a 501c3 organization that works to reduce the number of homeless cats and dogs by paying for medical treatment and helping pets find homes by partnering with local rescue groups.

Just a minor correction. There are in fact a far greater number of gradebook applications being developed than just these three. It's just that most of them are (properly) viewed as components in more comprehensive suites of educational Linux applications rather than as stand-alone apps. Take a look at the SEUL/edu Educational Application Index (http://richtech.ca/seul) under the Administrative category to see more of them. You'll have to wade through a number of other admin apps to find them unfortunately; a revision of our categorization system is underway as we speak.
Three quick examples, off the top of my head:
KOffice, AbiWord, Gnumeric.
I'm sure there are many more. Your concern is laudable, but don't think that just because everything in development or even in consideration of development isn't being hyped to hell and gone, it doesn't exist. There are lots of serious development efforts going on in some of these areas. You just may not be aware of them.

The queen of daytime talk show is calling all of the controversial singer's fans to participate in the 'once-in-a-lifetime' episode.
Oprah Winfrey wants a piece of Adam Lambert on her talk show. According to NY Post, she posted a message on her official website that encourage fans of him to tell her why they deserve a seat during an episode made out for him.
"Calling ALL Adam Lambert Fans!!!," the post under "Share Your Story" began. "Did you vote for him as many times as you could? Were you holding your breath when the new American Idol was announced, hoping and praying it would be HIM? If you are a HUGE fan of Adam Lambert's, email us now and tell us why you want to be in the audience for this once-in-a-lifetime show."
The date for the new episode dedicated to him has not been set yet. If Adam is indeed made a guest, then it would be the second time around his face pops up on the show. He was interviewed last October for a special episode about reality TV stars.
On another news, "The Oprah Winfrey Show" lost the title of People's Choice Awards' Favorite Talk Show to "The Ellen DeGeneres Show". Host Ellen DeGeneres however, gave a homage to Oprah Winfrey saying, "Oprah, I love you and I'm sorry to hear your show got canceled, so I share this with you."

Beautiful big poster for hardcore fans
By Mother of Hamsters
from Hartford, Connecticut
We love this poster. It's simple and striking, but very moving if you know the quote and reference. Friends who know the show are always blown away by it as soon as they walk in the door. (Friends who don't know the show are usually very confused -- it's a bit of a Rorschach-type image to them.)I love the size of the poster. It's slightly larger than average, without being huge or overpowering.Would be a great gift for any Browncoat who doesn't mind putting their geek on display!
