On the one hand, it's mere numbers: 27 metres, three seconds and at least 85kph. On the it is pure, thrilling and exudes a fascination that is spreading around the globe. Put together, cliff diving is jumping from an eight-storey building, accelerating faster than the sports car in your garage, bringing it to a stop in less than five metres and walking away in perfect health. Overwhelming and captivating.
As everything happens extremely fast in this sport, breaking it down into its most important parts is the best way of showing why this numbers' game is so fascinating and those who we are about to pass over to are the pros.
Twenty-seven meters
The height for a Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series competition ranges between 26m and 28m for the simple reason that it allows the athletes to do more difficult dives during their three-second flight. "You have to have a lot of control and it's the barani part of the dive where you need to have control. We finish the dive after about 12m and still have 15m to go and we need to have a lot of control to do that," explains Orlando Duque (COL), the sport's 37-year-old figurehead. With 25m, a lot of the dives the cliff diving elite do would be difficult to squeeze in, whereas every metre above 27, the impact increases massively. Gary Hunt, the two-time winner of the World Series, calls it "the compromise we found between enough height to fit in a lot of somersaults and twists and somewhere where our bodies can handle the impact." Duque's horizontal comparison makes things even more clear: "If you're going 85kph in your car two metres takes you nothing, five metres takes you nothing, even 10 metres takes you nothing. So if we went to 35m we'd gain 0.3 seconds and that's not a lot of time to add to your manoeuvres; only the impact is much harder. Even if we could go higher it would not add much besides a higher risk and more danger to the diver. I think we have gotten to the level where there is still
a lot of risk but somehow we can control it."
Like a car crash…
While accelerating from 0-85kph within three seconds, the impact of the water entry brings the diver's body to a complete stop in a bit more than a second. "When you do a cliff dive you hit the water so fast that the water stops you equally as fast. If you just jump off the side of a pool and you go straight down you might probably go pretty deep. But if you go higher just the tension of the surface breaks us up and you scoop and only go three metres", says US diver Kent De Mond. For nine-time world champion Duque it's an "extreme deceleration. Within one and a half seconds you've stopped. The body goes through a lot of tension upon entry and it hurts every time, even when you do a good dive, but you don't feel it until much later. It's almost like a car crash where you walk away. In competition we are basically crashing a car four times without any protection and at the end of the day we are walking away."
Head or feet
Thinking of cliff diving a certain picture pops up in most people's minds: Acapulco and the kamikaze divers disappearing head-first into the sea. "It is possible to go head-first; you'll probably be injured and be doing it only one time. We are doing difficult dives and the impact is about nine times harder than the highest platform in the Olympics," says 29-year-old De Mond. The unanimous answer to this question is as simple as it is rational: The leg muscles are simply much stronger than your wrists and neck.
Scuba divers
Every time a World Series diver steps on the platform and gets ready to dive, down below, three scuba divers get ready as well. Besides helping in case of emergencies, their job is to break the surface. A lot of times the water is so clear – similar to a glass table – that you see straight to the bottom and you're looking down almost 37m. The splashing makes the spotting easier while the divers are flipping around. They only see the water for a very short time and if they can see the water a bit better this helps them to line up better.
Adrenaline and Fascination
Cliff diving is undoubtedly one of the purest sports on earth and holds a fascination for doers as well as watchers. For Colombian Orlando Duque a lot of this lies in the impact: "When you reach the water it's really fast and really loud. Above water it's really fast what happens, then you can hear a loud bang and all of a sudden you are under water and everything is quiet. And all you hear is the bubbles around you. It's surreal. Once you are underwater you go "wow, what just happened". And the impact, the adrenaline, everything that is happening to your body is a big rush that you feel. I think this contrast of being scared while jumping in the air, the speed and then in the water is what makes us completely happy. And that's what gets us divers into the sport more and more." And also those who came into the sport only recently and got infected by the cliff diving bug very quickly, as last season's rookie Steven LoBue confirms: "I love this sport because it offers a sort of feeling that you don't really find anywhere else. It's so pure. It's just you and your body and what you trained your body to do. That almost flying feeling captured me."
About cliff diving explained here
The best cliff divers in the world versus gravity. Twisting and flipping 27 metres through the air and hitting the water after three seconds at 85kph. Three years after its inception, the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series is established as the pinnacle of high diving competition. In 2012 this unique
championship will once more be the platform for the world's most dizzying dives in seven stops between June and September in Europe, North America and the Middle East. Eleven athletes will compete head- to-head for the prestigious World Series title and spread the spirit of cliff diving all over the globe.

MySQL Database Storage in Cloud Website Hosting
All cloud website hosting accounts acquired through our company are created on our custom cloud website hosting platform where every single part of the web hosting service has its own cluster of servers. The databases aren't an exception and given that we can easily keep adding additional servers to the cluster that manages them, the space that you can use for your databases is virtually unrestricted. This way, you can expand your Internet sites as much as you want and run any script that requires MySQL without ever being worried you'll reach some cap and that your Internet sites won't work correctly. In addition, you'll be able to freely export and import databases of various size through your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel. In case you have any questions in this matter, you could ask our 24x7x365 tech support team to help you with either one of these tasks.
MySQL Database Storage in Semi-dedicated Servers
Since our semi-dedicated server accounts employ an advanced cloud platform, we can afford to offer limitless storage space for the MySQL databases created in any such account without compromising the quality of the service. Quite the opposite, the efficiency is improved, due to the fact that an entire cluster of servers handles only MySQL queries and nothing else. We can keep growing the cluster storage and the computing power by attaching new machines and hard drives, so you'll never be confined when it comes to the size of any of your databases. You are able to freely export or import any MySQL database using the phpMyAdmin tool in your Hepsia website hosting CP or you can ask our experts to aid you with this task provided you have no previous experience and you aren't sure how to proceed.

Tokyo [Japan], Mar 29 (ANI): External Affairs Minister (EAM) Sushma Swaraj on Thursday said relations between India and Japan have strengthened under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Addressing the gathering of Indian Diaspora at the Vivekanand Cultural Centre here, the EAM also lauded the contribution of the diaspora for strengthening the bond with Japan and creating a positive image about India in Japan.
"India-Japan relations are stronger than before, a major reason for this is Prime Minister Modi's and Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's friendship. India's relations with Japan have strengthened under the leadership of PM," Swaraj said.
Swaraj reached Tokyo on Wednesday to attend the ninth India-Japan Strategic Dialogue with Japanese Foreign Minister Taro Kono.
The strategic dialogue between Swaraj and Kono is scheduled to take place today.
Swaraj is on a three-day visit to Tokyo from 28-30 March 2018.
As per an official release by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), the two sides will review all aspects of bilateral relations and exchange views on regional and international issues of common interest.
The MEA further said that the visit of Japanese Prime Minister to India in 2017 gave 'fresh impetus' to the bilateral ties between the two countries. (ANI)

And there was another first: While I have yet to experience motherhood, I regularly find myself in the company of pregnant women. It seems in Brooklyn they're hard to escape :) Often babies in the womb get a bit of stage fright around me, but this little fellow was loving the limelight and proudly affirmed his presence with a hearty punch when I touched the mom's belly. I was so excited!
I can't believe it's taken so long to add this dimension to my portfolio! It was such a beautiful and magical moment to capture.
Having had such a great experience, I have added a new maternity page to my website and look forward to many more of these sessions in my future.

Ramsey Neighbourhoods Trust (RNT) are very proud and thrilled to announce that we have received the Ramsey Market Charter from Ramsey Town Council. RNT is delighted to be adding the market charter to our ever growing list of projects.
RNT would ultimately love to expand the current Saturday market and run speciality events but we can't do this on our own, and it won't happen overnight …. We have lots of ideas but it's very early days. RNT realises that markets have changed over–time to reflect modern shopping habits so our market may need to develop away from that of the traditional market format.
Everything RNT does aims to make Ramsey a better place for all who live, work, volunteer or visit here so – in true community development style – we want to hear views of Ramsey residents on what you would like to see happen to your market. We have set up a new email for you to email us all your thoughts – firstname.lastname@example.com or you can contact us at the Neighbourhood Office.
A recent grant from the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development has enabled RNT to purchase items such as gazebos, signage, cones and barriers for the market. These came in very handy on the day of the 'Christmas Lights Switch On' and will be used for future Community Market days and events. For up to date information about stalls attending follow us on Facebook: https://bit.ly/2omd5X6
RNT has also secured support from the market, and other projects, from the School of Social Entrepreneurs. The programme provides both financial support and access to a comprehensive learning support programme including a business mentoring scheme.
We are trying very hard to bring some new stalls into town but it is important that you all try to support them, to ensure that they will keep attending. Keep a lookout for some interesting events like an Italian market, Busfest Vintage Car Show, car boot sales and of course our themed days for Crafts, Christmas and Advent markets. Routs of Wisbech – the 'fishman' – is attending every Thursday and there is a Car Boot/Fleas Market on the last Saturday of the month. For up to date information visit our Ramsey Neighbourhoods Trust Facebook page.
If you would like a stall, have an idea of what you would like to see on the market or would like to help in any way, please contact 'Your Neighbourhood Office' we would love to hear from you.

I ran into this video of a Bar Mitzvah which took place in Dallas, Texas, a couple of years ago. The video came with some pointed comments by Philip Weiss, a Jewish fella who criticized the video´s artistic merit.
Dallas Bar Mitzvah video
Philip wrote this about the video;
"Sam Horowitz's ecdysiastic bar mitzvah celebration in Dallas last November is all over the internet thanks to a blog called Kveller, which published it like it was cute. "The Dallas Observer called the professionally choreographed routine at the Omni Hotel 'unarguably the craziest entrance to a religious celebration and ceremony,' which is unfair, seeing as it's unarguably the craziest entrance to anything ever,"
I bet my old High School friends at Hewlett High are worried about the way things are turning out. To give you a sense of how things are changing, here´s a quote from My Jewish Learning
"The history of the bar mitzvah dates back to a fifth-century rabbinic text references a blessing (still part of a traditional bar mitzvah) recited by the father thanking God for freeing him from responsibility for the deeds of his child, who is now accountable for his own actions. A 14th-century text mentions a father reciting this blessing in a synagogue when his son has his first aliyah. By the 17th century, boys celebrating this coming of age were also reading from the Torah, chanting the weekly prophetic portion, leading services, and delivering learned talks."

As difficult as it is for parents to watch their children suffer, the lack of a diagnosis adds to the anguish. In addition to their children not getting better, as they navigate their diagnostic odyssey, they sometimes receive inappropriate, costly and ineffective treatments.
Children's Hospital of Wisconsin has been helping children with rare diseases for decades. More than one-third of the children in our program have been properly diagnosed, and as a result many have been successfully treated. We have one of the highest rates for establishing a diagnosis in the country.
Our success can be tied in part to our exclusive focus on children and decades of clinical experience. In addition, our approach is unique because we have established a strong clinical program that incorporates the latest in diagnostic testing through research, versus a program that is research driven.

- Crimes:
- Assaulting a law enforcement officer upon Russell Quesenberry.[3]

- Capital murder of Derrick McFarland and Eric Sutphin (murder of more than one person within a three-year period).[3]
- Current Location: Sussex I State Prison.[1]
- Status: Petition for writ of certiorari challenging the Supreme Court of Virginia's affirmation of death sentence denied.[4]
- As of: October 4, 2010.[4]
Summary of crime:
From Morva v. Commonwealth [emphasis mine throughout]:
In the summer of 2006, [William Charles] Morva was in jail awaiting trial on charges of attempted burglary, conspiracy to commit burglary, burglary, attempted robbery, and use of a firearm. He had been in jail for approximately one year. While in jail he wrote a letter to his mother stating, "I will kick an unarmed guard in the neck and make him drop. Then I'll stomp him until he is as dead as I'll be."
Morva was scheduled to go to trial on August 23, 2006. In the evening on August 19, 2006, he informed the jail personnel that he required medical attention due to an injury to his leg and forearm. During the early morning hours of August 20, 2006, Sheriff's Deputy Russell Quesenberry, who was in uniform and armed with a Glock .40 caliber semi-automatic pistol, transported Morva to the Montgomery Regional Hospital located in Montgomery County. Morva was wearing waist chains, but Deputy Quesenberry did not secure Morva's allegedly injured arm.
Upon arrival at the hospital, Morva "kept trying" to walk on Deputy Quesenberry's right side even though he was ordered to walk on Deputy Quesenberry's left side. Quesenberry was required to have Morva walk on his left because Quesenberry wore his gun on his right side. Quesenberry observed that Morva's limping was sporadic and "sort of went away." Also, Nurse Melissa Epperly observed Morva walking as if he were not injured.
After the hospital treated Morva, Morva requested to use the bathroom. Deputy Quesenberry inspected the bathroom and allowed Morva access. While in the bathroom, Morva removed a metal toilet paper holder that was screwed to the wall. As Deputy Quesenberry entered the bathroom, Morva attacked him with the metal toilet paper holder, breaking Quesenberry's nose, fracturing his face, and knocking him unconscious. Morva then took Quesenberry's gun. Prior to leaving the bathroom, Morva confirmed that Quesenberry's gun was ready to fire, ejecting a live round from the chamber.
After escaping from the bathroom, Morva encountered Derrick McFarland, an unarmed hospital security guard. Morva pointed Quesenberry's gun at McFarland's face. McFarland stood with his hands out by his side and palms facing Morva. Despite McFarland's apparent surrender, Morva shot McFarland in the face from a distance of two feet and ran out of the hospital, firing five gunshots into the electronic emergency room doors when they would not open. McFarland died from the gunshot to his face.
In the morning of August 21, 2006, Morva was seen in Montgomery County near "Huckleberry Trail," a paved path for walking and bicycling. Corporal Eric Sutphin, who was in uniform and armed, responded to that information by proceeding to "Huckleberry Trail."
Andrew J. Duncan observed Morva and then later observed Corporal Sutphin on "Huckleberry Trail." Four minutes later, Duncan heard two gunshots, less than a second apart. David Carter, who lived nearby, heard shouting, followed by two gunshots, and saw Corporal Sutphin fall to the ground.
Shortly thereafter, Officer Brian Roe discovered Corporal Sutphin, who was dead from a gunshot to the back of his head. Corporal Sutphin's gun was still in its holster with the safety strap engaged. Officer Roe confiscated Corporal Sutphin's gun to secure it and continued to search for Morva.
Later that day, Officer Ryan Hite found Morva lying in a ditch in thick grass. Even though Morva claimed to be unarmed, officers discovered Quesenberry's gun on the ground where Morva had been lying. Morva's DNA was found on the trigger and handle of Quesenberry's gun.[5]

Well, I have added another year to my age. We even had a party to celebrate the event. There were no presents for me to open (those were on the way from websites where I bought them) but as usual, the grandsons made the event wonderful. Lest you think there was nothing to open, you should know my wife had purchased another toy for use at Grandma's house. Grandpa got to help open the Fisher-Price school bus, and Grandpa was actually a little too slow getting things opened (they have so many twisted wires holding things to the box), but it did get opened.
No one needed to show the eldest of my grandsons how the bus worked. He immediately pushed the top of the driver to get sounds and flashing lights working. I have gotten ahead of the story. We no longer put the full compliment of candles on the cake for fear of setting off smoke detectors and heating the house to an unbearable temperature. My wife placed two candles on the cakes, and after they were lighted, I asked if my eldest grandson wanted to help me blow out the candles. I think he had one out before I finished speaking.
Birthdays are more than just a marking of the passing of years and should always be celebrated with family.

Invite inspirational and dynamic business leaders from fast-growing companies to engage with your students about their career path.
What is a Career Talk?
Local business leaders will visit your school to speak about their unique experiences. They share insights, career guidance, lessons and tips to motivate and inspire your students to make informed decisions about their future.
Similar to a TED Talk, each Business Leader speaks for 8 - 10 minutes, followed by a lively Q&A session where students are able to ask a variety of questions.
Each encounter is designed to last one hour.
Speakers will 'tell a story' about their career path:
Speakers are not asked to prepare slides or come with demonstrations rather, they are briefed to 'speak from the heart' about their career choices.
What inspired them to choose their career path
Subjects they studied and how these are relevant now
Their failures, as well as successes
What their company does and why this is important
What they enjoy most about their career
Skills currently relevant in the jobs they are doing now.
What is the impact of a Career Talk?
Career Talks allow students to hear from real-life role models who can demonstrate the relevance and connection of what is taught in the classroom - because they are creating the jobs right now!
They also allow students to gain an understanding of what different careers actually entail, while bringing the curriculum to life.
The goal of Career Talks is to equip students with the inspiration and information to make better-informed decisions about their future career paths.
Department for Education (DfE) statutory guidance for career planning requires teachers to embed careers learning within their schemes of work. Career Talks can help students to contextualise their learning and bring classroom subjects to life.
Furthermore, research by the Education and Employers Taskforce highlights that four or more student-employer encounters reduce the likelihood of a student becoming NEET by 86%.

Jobs: A Fourth Straight Spring and Summer Bummer
For most Americans, the arrival of spring means rising temperatures, the reemergence of green grass (and weeds), and a return to outdoor activities. It also appears, for the fourth year in a row, that spring's arrival will be accompanied by yet another swoon in the nation's job market.
Wrapping up a week during which several "unexpectedly" weak economic reports previewed trouble ahead, the government's March Employment Situation Summary released on Friday was the strongest indication yet that -- as was the case in 2010, 2011, and 2012 -- somewhat tolerable seasonally adjusted job growth during the winter will be followed by tepid spring and summer hiring.
This time, as a well-known Democrat amazingly noted on Sunday, President Barack Obama, his administration, fear-mongering leftists, and their sky-is-falling media apparatchiks shouldn't be able to hide from the direct results of their handiwork -- though of course they'll try mightily.
To see how bad things are, as is my custom -- and as should be the custom of anyone who's really trying to get a handle on what's happening in the economy -- let's look at both the raw (i.e., not seasonally adjusted) and seasonally adjusted figures for overall job growth since 2001:
As I noted in a column last year, the five months from February through June are crucial for employment growth in the U.S. economy, because that's typically when millions more people are hired than are let go. The more economically robust years during the middle of the past decade saw the economy add an annual average of 4.099 million jobs during those five months, despite the fact that the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate was barely above what is, for the U.S., considered full employment.
As seen above, despite horrid unemployment, vastly underreported under-employment, and assurances that the Obama administration's "stimulus"-driven policies would lead to a strong recovery, the average of the February-June time periods from 2010-2012 was more than 200,000 jobs lower than was seen during the previous decade's three strong years.
As I wrote last year: "An authentically recovering economy making a real dent in a horribly underutilized workforce should generate six million jobs on the ground" during these five months. Obviously, it has never come even close.

Jewelry is important. Whether you inherited it, bought it, or were given it as a gift most people have both a monetary and sentimental investment in their gold jewelry. When you wear your jewelry you want it to look good. If you wear a piece everyday, chances are it gets very dirty, and if you have something special you only wear occasionally, you want it to be perfectly clean and sparkly when you do wear it. There are many ways to clean gold jewelry and much conflicting advice available. You can always take your jewelry to a professional to have it cleaned but if you are in a hurry or lack funds that may not be your best option. Some people recommend using toothpaste, others say only use cleaner you purchase specifically for gold jewelry, some advisers say use alcohol, others say dish detergent. What's a dirty gold owner to do? If you have white gold, you probably should take it to a professional. Rhodium is used to plate white gold rings and it gives jewelry an extra shiny, sparkly look. If you have a white gold piece that is beginning to look yellow, it is because the rhodium plating is wearing off. It is relatively inexpensive to have a ring re-plated and your piece will look good as new. If you don't think the rhodium is wearing off and you just need a quick cleaning, a soft cloth and some warm water should do the trick.
You can also use warm water with a bit of mild detergent such as dish liquid to clean gold. Simply put your fill a shallow dish with warm water and detergent and soak your jewelry in it for a while, then clean with a soft bristled brush and rinse in another dish of cold, clean water. Isopropyl alcohol is another gentle cleanser that can be used to clean jewelry. The benefit of alcohol is that it dries without water spots. However, if your gold is very dirty, with built up oil and grime, alcohol may not be strong enough to get rid of all the dirt. In that case, either go to a professional, invest in some jewelry cleaner or use the detergent method.
Thank you for the advice Pammy!

This Easy Kung Pao Chicken Recipe is a quick and easy Chinese inspired recipe that can be ready in less than 30 minutes, using mostly ingredients from your pantry, and makes a great weeknight meal to celebrate Chinese New Year or for any time of year.
Hi everyone! I'm Michele, the blogger, recipe developer, and photographer at Flavor Mosaic, a recipe blog where I share creative, quick and easy, budget-friendly recipes with a mosaic of flavors.
This Easy Kung Pao Chicken Recipe offers:
- a quick and easy complete meal with chicken, vegetables, kung pao sauce, and rice in under 30 minutes;
- a restaurant quality Chinese dinner that tastes better than take out, and is made using mostly pantry ingredients;
- a few tidbits of trivia about the upcoming Chinese New Year to impress your friends;
- an ahhhh-mazing sweet, spicy, and savory Kung Pao sauce.
When my husband and I were first married, we often ate out at restaurants. Since we live in Houston, it was easy to eat out because we have a huge variety of quality restaurants. One of our favorite cuisines is Chinese Food, especially Kung Pao Chicken. Whenever we try a new Chinese restaurant, my husband always orders the Kung Pao Chicken and uses that dish to compare restaurants.
Our favorite place for Kung Pao Chicken was a little family-owned restaurant near our house. We ate there for a number of years until the restaurant closed. We tried several other restaurants afterward but their Kung Pao was not the same. We gave up trying to find another restaurant, and instead now I make the Kung Pao Chicken at home.
To make this recipe I use mostly ingredients you will find in your refrigerator or pantry. A couple of exceptions might be sesame oil and Hoisin sauce. Both of these have incredible flavor and I recommend making both a pantry staple. They are found in the International aisles of most grocery stores, or should be available at your local Asian market. I understand that you may not want to buy an ingredient just for one recipe, which is why I also recommend checking out some of my other favorite Asian dishes that use either Hoisin sauce or Sesame Oil:
- Pepper Steak in Wonton Cups – a wonderful Asian-inspired bite-sized appetizer
- Sticky Asian Chicken Wings – a sweet and spicy Asian inspired chicken wings.
- Spicy Orange Chicken – a chicken dish in a sweet and spicy orange sauce similar to a popular restaurant chain.
You have a reason to make several of these recipes this week because in a couple of days, it is going to be Chinese New Year! It is a tradition in China for families to get together for a family reunion dinner on New Year's Eve. Many exchange small red envelopes with money to bring good fortune in the new year. You could also serve this Easy Kung Pao Chicken with egg rolls for good fortune and noodles for longevity. Now you have a few new pieces of Chinese New Year trivia to impress your family, friends, and guests.
What will you serve with this Easy Kung Pao Chicken Recipe for Chinese New Year?
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger or 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- ½ green bell pepper, roughly chopped
- ½ red bell pepper, roughly chopped
- 1 pound boneless, skinless, chicken breasts, cut into bite size pieces
- ¼ cup roasted peanuts
- 4 green onions, chopped
- In a medium bowl, stir in the soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, sesame oil, and cornstarch until the cornstarch is dissolved. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Let stand at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
- In another bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Stir until the cornstarch is dissolved and set aside.
- In a wok or large skillet over medium high heat, add peanut or vegetable oil. Stir in the crushed red pepper flakes. Add in the chopped red and green bell peppers. Cook for about 3 or 4 minutes until they are slightly softened. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger and continue stirring for about 1 minute. Add the chicken and continue stirring the chicken for about 4 or 5 minutes or until it is no longer pink.
- Pour in the sauce and mix to coat the chicken and vegetables. Stir in the peanuts and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a serving plate, sprinkle the green onions on top, and serve over white rice.

It's Officially Summer, Let the Backyard Parties Begin!
Here are some tips when planning your backyard parties:
– Host a potluck and assign a type of dish to each guest based on their last name
- A to I – Bring salads, appetizers or bread
- J to S = Bring entrees, sides, or vegetables
- T to Z – Bring desserts or beverages
– Don't have enough chairs? Ask guests to bring a lawn chair, or spread blankets around the yard and go true picnic style!
– Decorate on a budget, a few balloons can go a long way and a piñata is always something fun and bright. A piñata is also a great way to get all guests involved. You can fill the piñata with fun items from the dollar store like sunglasses, necklaces and hair bows, which will make for some entertaining photos later.
– Keep the bugs away:
- Have some bug spray, or bug wipes on hand if guests want to use them
- Put out a couple of citronella plants and or candles
- Plug in some fans. Mosquitoes are not strong flyers so a little fan can go a long way with keeping the bugs away
– Music for all ages! Create a playlist including great hits from back in the day, to fresh tunes from today, along with a few different genres like 70s rock, 90s pop and new country!
– Entertain your guests young and old:
- Snow Cones are always a big hit, the kids love them and they can even be made into "adult" snow cones with a splash of tequila, vodka or rum! Be creative in your combinations with lots of flavoured syrups to choose from.
- Adults like bouncy castles too! Rent an inflatable for all our guests to enjoy. Obstacle courses, slides, gladiator jousting, giant inflatable twister and even sumo suits are sure to be a hit!


text: World Bank to talk to Iraqi representatives before finalising amount for reconstruction The bank believes about $17.5 billion will be needed for 2004 and roughly $37.5 billion for the years between 2005 and 2007, the Japanese Nihon Keizai Shimbun financial daily reported on Wednesday. The paper added that the World Bank, along with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), had informed Japan and other nations of the figures. World Bank President, James Wolfensohn, said last week that the bank would not make any estimates public until it had finished consulting on the issue with Iraq representatives by early October. Estimates But he added that United States reconstruction estimates between $50 billion and $75 billion were "in the ballpark". The Nihon Keizai said the World Bank would officially present the estimates at a donors' meeting to be held in Madrid on 23-24 October. In Washington, a US Senate committee on Tuesday passed a $87 billion bill for Iraq's reconstruction. Republicans on the Senate Appropriations Committee muscled the bill through after defeating Democrats' attempts to make Iraq repay some of the bill's $20 billion for its reconstruction, to trim $10 billion from the package and to limit Bush's discretion over its spending. "If we are sceptical ... it's because the administration has coiled out the rope and hung itself with its own rhetoric" Richard DurbinSenator (Democrat), Illinois The committee unanimously voted out the bill, but Democrats said that did not mean they would back the final measure. Republicans had guaranteed Democrats a lengthy debate on the bill, abandoning plans to pass it by this weekend. Instead, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist of Tennessee said the goal was to pass it by 17 October, after a recess next week. Bitter The committee's bitter exchanges and party line votes on amendments portend a rough debate. Democrats charge that the $20 billion for Iraq's rebuilding comes at the expense of domestic needs and should not be borne by US taxpayers alone. Democrats also said that before the war the White House assured lawmakers that Iraq would finance its own reconstruction. "If we are sceptical ... it's because the administration has coiled out the rope and hung itself with its own rhetoric," said Senator Richard Durbin, an Illinois Democrat. Testifying on the Iraq package before the House Appropriations defence subcommittee, Defence Secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, said US companies should be favoured in contracts under the $20 billion for reconstruction. "On the money that the US taxpayers are paying for Iraq, we certainly ought to be focusing to the extent we can on American contractors and suppliers," Rumsfeld said. SOURCE: Reuters

To reduce violence in the Middle East, Ralph Peters suggests redrawing the map along ethnic and religious lines.
In each case, this hypothetical redrawing of boundaries reflects ethnic affinities and religious communalism � in some cases, both. Of course, if we could wave a magic wand and amend the borders under discussion, we would certainly prefer to do so selectively. Yet, studying the revised map, in contrast to the map illustrating today's boundaries, offers some sense of the great wrongs borders drawn by Frenchmen and Englishmen in the 20th century did to a region struggling to emerge from the humiliations and defeats of the 19th century.
Correcting borders to reflect the will of the people may be impossible. For now. But given time � and the inevitable attendant bloodshed � new and natural borders will emerge. Babylon has fallen more than once.
We could actually do this if not for the existence of the U.N. (motto: "Obstructing peace and common sense since 1945!") and the west's infatuation with political correctness.

Your first stop is near a swampy place. Poking up through the snow (if there's any left) you're likely to see a most unusual plant. If you can get close enough, take a sniff. Whew! Does this plant stink? You've just encountered skunk cabbage, a plant that actually generates enough heat to melt the snow around it. The skunk cabbage blooms long before any other spring wildflower. It also looks very different from most other wildflowers. Instead of having petals, there is a single leaf-like looking sheath called a "spathe." It is hood-shaped and maroon streaked with greenish-yellow. (Can you find it in this picture?) The spathe protects the "spadix," which is a fleshy club-shaped spike. The spadix looks fuzzy because it is crowded with tiny flowers with no petals. Its bad odor attracts bees, flies, and gnats which pollinate it. Large leaves emerge later and grow to the size of rhubarb leaves. (Can you find them in the picture?)

Welcome to The Villages Golf Handicap System. The Villages is a USGA Golf Club with Membership in the Florida State Golf Association. The Golf Handicap & Information Network (GHIN) through the Florida State Golf Association provides USGA handicap indexes.
To ensure the integrity of the handicaps in our community and in accordance with Section 8 of the USGA Handicap System, The Villages Community Handicap Committee was established. The Committee operates independently to fulfill the duties imposed by the USGA Handicap System. This Committee is composed of 2 volunteer representatives from each Country Club and a Chairman. It operates under its own bylaws and procedures, which are posted to this web site.
The USGA system requires that every member report all acceptable scores for handicap calculation personally, or as otherwise authorized by the committee, as soon as possible after the round is played. Scores may be posted at any of the computer stations located in the golf shop of each championship course. Although not the preferred method, an acceptable alternative is to post scores via the internet. There are two websites you can access to do so, FSGA.org or GHIN.com. The golf shop teams are trained to be of assistance if needed. Any posting errors should be immediately reported to one of the golf shop personnel for correction.
The USGA has determined that Handicap Revisions will take place on the 1st and 15th of each month all year long. Handicap Card printers are located at each posting station. You must enter the History portion of GHIN to print an updated card. The USGA index on the card will only change on the revision date. The scores on the card will represent the 20 scores that were used to calculate your handicap index. Therefore, it will only be necessary for you to print your card once each period.
A players USGA handicap index should reflect potential scoring ability. Section 8-4b of the handicap manual sets forth committee powers to adjust a members index; up or down, when circumstances warrant. Examples include failure to post scores or manipulating rounds to influence ones index. Section 10-3 provides for reduction for Exceptional Tournament Performance (ETP). The committee will provide a list of Village Tournaments counting as tournament scores. A handicap manual is available at each championship course for reference, or one may be ordered from the USGA.
Each championship course will have a location for posting information regarding the system. The committee will post material for assisting members with the correct procedures.
Any violation of the spirit of the USGA Handicap System should be reported to one of the handicap committee members or one of the Championship Courses Golf Professionals or managers for reference to the committee for action. Resolution of Handicap matters is not the function of the Golf Professional or their staff but of the Handicap Committee.

NEW "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" 2nd Trailer
Ironically, less than twelve hours after I published my post of My 25 Most Anticipated Films of the Season, in which I ranked David Fincher's new film as No. 1, Sony Pictures has released a brand new trailer for the thriller.
At three minutes and forty-five seconds, it's possibly the longest studio-made trailer I've ever seen. Perhaps that is a testament of the film, being that they can reveal that much of the film and still have plenty left with which to play with their audience. I won't lie, this trailer does not raise my heart rate and blow my mind like the effective teaser trailer did. Yet, I have now watched it three times, and I still have a nagging urgency to watch it again. Another testament, perhaps?
One thing's absolutely for sure. Outside of Fincher's outstanding crisp, desaturated, gloomy style that he brings to the look and feel of the film, it appears that the reason to see this is going to be Rooney Mara. Her transformation from the sweet, brunette, girl next door in her first big roles like the "Nightmare on Elm Street" remake and "The Social Network" into this devilish, tatted-up, pierced-out heroine with an insane attitude is remarkable. I cannot wait to see her chew up this role.
Enjoy the new trailer, below:
My 25 Most Anticipated Films of the Season
Tis the season. What season is that? It's kind of hard to say. I suppose it's a combination of fall and winter. I suppose it's when the awards season really starts to heat up. More than that, however, it's the time of year when good movies are released. That's what it is, primarily. It's the season of good movies, and I look forward to it all year long.
In honor of that, I thought I'd throw up a little list entailing the movies that you absolutely should not miss. Now, these are not necessarily films that you're guaranteed to like. I'm not even guaranteed to approve. Neither is this an Oscarish type of list, for its guaranteed that nearly half of these movies will never even see a nomination at the Kodak.
What these films do have in common is that they have not yet been released to the general public and from trailers, stills, stories, festival performances and what some critics have already said about them, they look pretty good to me. These are the movies that I really cannot wait to see. With each title in the countdown, I've included a few words about why I find these films so promising. I've also posted each film's trailer (except for the small few that have yet to release one). So without further adieu, enjoy, and remember this list if you plan on seeing at least twenty-five movies in the next few months.
NOTE: Two films most would expect to be on here, are not. "Moneyball" would have made a spot on the list, but I have already caught an advance screening of it (AND LOVED IT). "Drive" would also certainly find its place on here, since I have not yet gotten a chance to see it, but since it has already been released, it excludes itself from the rest of films featured.
25. "Margaret"
September 30th (limited)
WHY IT'S HERE: Pretty weird situation here. The film looks to have an interesting plot, a great cast. However, after being delayed release for six years, you'd think this film's going to have some severe flaws and issues. The winning flip side is that after that much time of waiting and hoping, the amount of anticipation this film carries with it is more than enough reel me in.
NEW "J. Edgar" Trailer
Well, it's the moment we've all been waiting for…well at least I have. Perhaps the Oscar season's biggest contender has finally shown its face. Now that we have a glimpse, from this point in the game, anyone not putting this film at the head of the pack for practically every single award should take a good long look in the mirror and rethink themselves.
This trailer does not disappoint. It displays absolutely phenomenal performances by DiCaprio, Dench and the man who I have said will be the key to this film all along, Armie Hammer. On top of that, the lavish costumes, production design, cinematography and, surprisingly, the music, if that is in fact the film's score, appear to all be top notch.
At this state of the race, this is not only the film to beat, but the film to see as well.
Check out the HD trailer below or watch the gorgeous Apple version below that.
"We Bought a Zoo" Trailer
In the last few months, this film has been one of the big mysteries of this Oscar season. Up until now, we haven't really seen anything aside from a few stills. I'm not sure if any film other than "J. Edgar" has been as elusive in terms of how big of a contender it will be. Now, we finally have a trailer for Matt Damon's project…and I still can't tell what to think of it.
Most of this indecision can be attributed to the director's hit or miss track record, especially with the Academy. "Jerry Maguire" was a huge hit with the Oscars. "Almost Famous" had big potential to take home the gold, but somehow missed out on Picture and Director nominations (though Crowe did nab an award for Best Original Screenplay). Then came "Elizabethtown." Everyone thought it would automatically become a massive contender…and then people saw it, and that notion pretty much went out the window.
Trying to tell if this film is going to be the next "Jerry Maguire" or the next "Elizabethtown" is proving to be quite difficult, even with our first glimpse of it. There are moments that give it an air of striking originality and others so cheesy they made my teeth grit. Will the Academy embrace it? I'm going to go out on a limb and say no. The field is closing up, fast, and with new voting regulations for Best Picture, it's hard to imagine it making the cut. I would never count out a dark horse Original Screenplay nomination, though. They seem to adore Crowe much more as a writer than director. Also, Matt Damon appears to give an honest and down-to-earth performance so I wouldn't quite KO him yet from the Best Actor competition.
Check out the trailer, below:
Venice Film Festival Winners
Three down, one to go. After the Sundance and Cannes Film Festival announced their choices for best of the year, Venice has joined in. The 68th Annual Venice Film Festival had a lot on its plate and picked some interesting winners. It's hard to tell what the frontrunner was in this battle, given the festival's international diversity. If there was an American favorite, it would probably have been "The Ides of March." George Clooney's political thriller did pick up some descent reviews and some steam, but not enough to take down the big one. The festival's grand prize went to Russian director Aleksandr Sokurov's "Faust," an adaptation of the classic German tale of Doctor Faustus. Little is yet known about this film in the states, but several reviews have called it a life-changing experience. I remain a bit speculative.
The award for Best Actor was a bit more interesting. A number of contenders were abound at the start of the festival. However, once it debuted and its' themes began to sink into audience's minds, it was clear that Steve McQueen's "Shame" held the front-running performance. Michael Fassbender has been generating enormous amounts of buzz ever since his breakthrough performance in Steve McQueen's previous film "Hunger." Since then, he has delivered electrifying work in films like "Fish Tank," "X-Men: First Class" and "Inglorious Basterds." Fassbender also starred in Venice entry "A Dangerous Method," however, it was his role as a sex addict in "Shame" that won him the Volpi Cup for Best Actor. The young performer even beat out the veteran Gary Oldman for "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy." Michael did give props to his idol during his acceptance speech, saying that Oldman has inspired him since he was fifteen years old.
This news of Fassbender comes on the heels of an important announcement concerning Fox Searchlight picking up the distributing rights for "Shame." This is a very bold stroke by the studio, considering the film will almost assuredly carry an NC-17 rating. Unlike "Blue Valentine's" absurd and easily overturned brand, this one will most likely stick, considering the apparently graphic sex scenes and more than a little full frontal nudity. It will probably not do very well in box office terms, but this win definitely puts Fassbender into contention for the Oscar. This is good news for him considering that "A Dangerous Method," while not DOA, is certainly taking a hit from a fairly lackluster response from critics and audiences.
As far as the rest of the victories go, nothing really exciting that will likely transmit into Oscar potential. The under-the-radar British "Wuthering Heights" adaptation won for Cinematography, but will probably fly under the radar in the U.S.. Giorgios Lanthimos' follow-up to his disturbing Oscar nominee, "Dogtooth," entitled "Alps" took down Screenplay. Overall, considering how outside the box and, no offense to Giorgios, weird his films seem to be, I'm surprised the AMPAS even embraced his last film. We'll see how this one turns out.
Here's the breakdown of the substantial winners:
Golden Lion for Best Film
Faust by Aleksander Sokurov (Russia)
Silver Lion for Best Director
Shangjun CAI for the film Ren Shan Ren Hai (People Mountain People Sea) (China – Hong Kong)
Special Jury Prize
Terraferma by Emanuele Crialese (Italy)
Coppa Volpi for Best Actor
Michael Fassbender in the film Shame by Steve McQueen (United Kingdom)
Coppa Volpi for Best Actress
Deanie Yip in the film Tao jie (A Simple Life) by Ann Hui (China – Hong Kong)
Marcello Mastroianni Award for Best New Young Actor or Actress
Shôta Sometani and Fumi Nikaidô in the film Himizu by Sion Sono (Japan)
Osella for the Best Cinematography
Robbie Ryan for the film Wuthering Heights by Andrea Arnold (United Kingdom)
Osella for Best Screenplay
Yorgos Lanthimos and Efthimis Filippou for the film Alpis (Alps) by Yorgos Lanthimos (Grecia)
"The Raid" Red Band Trailer Pulls No Punches
Wow. Not gonna lie, I haven't had a trailer knock me flat and leave my jaw hanging as close to the ground as this one just did in quite some time. This is a red band trailer that truly lives up to that distinction. "The Raid" is an Indonesian film directed by Gareth Evans debuting at the Toronto Film Festival this week. While the film is probably not poised to take home many prizes, it will definitely create a bit of stir.
The plot is sweet and simple. A team of twenty SWAT officers engage in a raid on a building ran by a drug overlord and infested with criminals of every kind. The operation was meant to go smoothly, but the building's tenants are alerted to the cops' presence and the officers must choose to risk their lives to complete the mission or attempt escape and survive.
Many insiders are claiming the film is one of the most cut-and-dry action films since John Woo's "Hard-Boiled", while echoing the newer styles of movies like "Old Boy." To me, it looks like a whole lot of unadulterated, shamelessly violent fun. Can't wait for a US release.
Warning: This movie and its trailer have got some brutality in them.
