SKYathon Beach Run is back and bigger on its ninth year with the opening of participation to international runners as it aims for greater awareness to raise funds that would help rehabilitate the reefs of Boracay.
Organizers of the first destination run in the country are excited with this development. "Among the avid participants of the race are foreigners vacationing in the island. To open this to international delegates will elevate the race not just to a fun run but a race that the running communities around the world will look forward to each year," said Mr. Delbert Santos, a senior marketing manager from SKY.
Set to happen on April 21 at Epic Boracay, it features three categories for runners to choose from; 3K, 5K, and 10K.
SKY plays its part in protecting nature by supporting this initiative. A portion of the proceeds from SKYathon will go to the coral reef rehabilitation program. Other than reef rehabilitation there is also a mangrove planting partnership with the Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Office of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources in the area.
This year SKYathon introduces #LoveBoracay, a call for a turn towards responsible tourism.
Santos said that with the current environmental troubles facing not only the island but also some major tourist spots in the country it's important for vacationers to keep in mind preserving these natural resources. He said, "This year, besides pushing for the rehabilitation of the coral reefs in Boracay, we'd also like to send out a call to all tourists to take care of the places they are going to. We have to practice responsible tourism so that we can keep the beauty of nature not just for us but most especially for future generations."
Also back this year is Coach Rio de la Cruz' RunRio, which will organize event.
"Since it is RUNRIO's 4th year in participating the SKYathon run, I am glad that we still continue to organize events like this in Boracay island each year. I believe that because of this event we are not only promoting an active and healthy lifestyle to the people, but also saving Boracay island itself,' said Rio de la Cruz.
Registration is ongoing and can be done online through www.runrio.com or onsite via selected branches of registration partners Rudy Project, Chris Sports, and Olympic Village. The Boracay Foundation Inc. Secretariat in Boracay can also accept registrations.

One of the largest barracks in Europe, Michael Collins & rare collections of artifacts
Collins Barracks is located on Arbour Hill in Dublin City on a site originally earmarked for a mansion for The Duke of Ormond. It was built in 1702 and was one of the largest barracks in Europe, it also became with the exception of the Royal Hospital at Kilmainham the earliest public building in the city. It was named after Michael Collins, the first Commander-in-Chief of the Irish Free State Army. Collins was killed in 1922 in co. Cork four months before the barracks were surrendered to the Free State Army. General Richard Mulcahy, who formally accepted the handover, immediately named the site after Collins. The old barracks, which had billets, stables, a riding school, drilling grounds, and firing ranges, have been transformed sympathetically into galleries by the National Museum of Ireland for exhibitions. There are rare artifacts ranging from weaponry, furniture, folklife, silver, ceramics, and glassware. It also houses a permanent exhibition about the Easter Rising, called 'Understanding 1916'. Wolfe Tone, one of the leaders of the 1798 rebellion was also convicted of treason here.

Feb. 27, 2013
NOTRE DAME, Ind. – A pair of Notre Dame women's basketball players — senior guard/co-captain Skylar Diggins (South Bend, Ind./Washington) and junior guard Kayla McBride (Erie, Pa./Villa Maria Academy) — are among a group of 30 players chosen for the 2012-13 Midseason Watch List for the Naismith Trophy, it was announced Wednesday by the award's presenter, the Atlanta Tipoff Club. Notre Dame was one of six schools in the country (along with Baylor, Connecticut, Duke, Maryland and Penn State) to have multiple players named to this year's Naismith Trophy Midseason List, which identifies the top candidates for the prestigious national player of the year award.
This year's top 30 candidates were selected by the Atlanta Tipoff Club's Board of Selectors, which based its criteria on player performances during this year's college basketball season. In late March, the Naismith Trophy voting academy will narrow down the pack to four finalists. The Naismith Women's College Player of the Year presented by AT&T will be awarded to one female athlete on April 8, 2013, during the NCAA Women's Final Four in New Orleans.
For the ninth consecutive year, fans will have the opportunity to text their votes for the player of their choice and help determine the 2013 Naismith Trophy winner. Voting will open to fans on Monday, March 25 (with details to come). Naismith Trophy presenting sponsor AT&T is making the voting open to other wireless carriers, enabling even more fans to participate.
Diggins, who was one of four finalists for the Naismith Trophy last year, appeared on every major national player-of-the-year award midseason watch list in 2012-13, including the State Farm Wade Trophy (presented by the Women's Basketball Coaches Association), the John R. Wooden Award and the Ann Meyers Drysdale National Player of the Year (presented by the United States Basketball Writers Association). Diggins also is one of 10 finalists for the Senior CLASS Award, and is one of seven final nominees for the Nancy Lieberman Award (given to the nation's top point guard), an honor she earned last year.
Meanwhile, McBride was a midseason addition to the candidate list for the Wooden Award, but was left off the 20-player USBWA Midseason Watch List for the Ann Meyers Drysdale Award when it was released Tuesday afternoon, despite having been selected as the USBWA/Drysdale National Player of the Week on Jan. 7 (one of only a dozen players to earn that honor this season). All of the major midseason national player-of-the-year watch lists are not inclusive, in that players who excel throughout the season, but do not necessarily appear on the watch lists may end up being selected for the award.
Diggins was a consensus preseason first-team All-America selection and the Preseason BIG EAST Conference Player of the Year, and she has done nothing to dissuade those early prognostications, having twice garnered BIG EAST Player of the Week citations, as well as five appearances on the BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll. She ranks among the top 10 in the BIG EAST in six different statistical categories, including assists (1st – 6.0 apg.), steals (3rd – 3.0 spg.), assist/turnover ratio (5th – 1.86), free throw percentage (5th – .810), scoring (6th – 16.5 ppg.) and three-point percentage (8th – .345). As of Monday, she also ranked 21st in the nation in assists and she leads the team with 23 double-figure scoring games (highlighted by a career-high 33 points on Jan. 28 in a win at No. 9 Tennessee), along with two double-doubles and the second triple-double of her career (17 points/10 rebounds/10 assists) on Feb. 24 in a victory at DePaul.
McBride, a two-time BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll choice, currently is tied for 10th in the BIG EAST in scoring (14.6 ppg.; a 25-percent increase in her production from last year) and leads the conference with a .915 free throw percentage. She also would rank sixth in the nation in free throw percentage, but she is three made foul shots shy of the minimum necessary for NCAA ranking (2.5 free throws made/game). McBride also is second on the team with 22 double-figure scoring games, including a career-high 25 points in Tuesday's win over No. 22/20 Syracuse. That performance is just the latest in several outstanding efforts for McBride against ranked opponents — she has scored at least 15 points in eight of nine games against Top 25 teams this season, adding a (then) career-high 21 points in Notre Dame's 73-72 win at No. 1 Connecticut on Jan. 5.
Winners of 21 consecutive games, No. 2/2 Notre Dame (26-1, 14-0 BIG EAST) returns to the hardwood at 4 p.m. (ET) Saturday when it takes on Providence at Alumni Hall in Providence, R.I. The game will be televised live as part of the syndicated BIG EAST Game of the Week package, with major outlets including the flagship station SportsNet New York (SNY) and ESPN3/WatchESPN (check local listings for further coverage). In addition, it is currently scheduled to air on a delayed basis on Comcast SportsNet Chicago at 1:30 a.m. (ET) Sunday.
The contest also can be heard live on Pulse FM (96.9/92.1) in South Bend, as well as free of charge around the world on the official Notre Dame athletics web site, UND.com.

What is Chenin Blanc Wine?
Chenin Blanc wine originates from the Loire Valley region of France. Its wine is made from a white grape varietal of the same name. Chenin Blanc wine, French in particular, is well known for its ability to make sweet, dessert style wines. These wines from the Loire region are labelled as Doux to indicate that it is the sweet style of Chenin Blanc.
High yields in warm climates made Chenin Blanc an ideal grape from South Africa, California and Western Australia. Owing to the high acidity of the Chenin Blanc grape a wide range of wines can be made from sparkling to dessert wine. Chenin Blanc is planted in many regions around the world. Known for its versatility and high yields, it is often underestimated or considered a blending varietal.
Common Chenin Blanc Wine characteristics
Wine lovers have options when it comes to Chenin Blanc: dry or sweet, dessert or sparkling. Climate, region and the hand of the winemaker impact Chenin Blanc to ensure that there is not one style wine but many. Cool climate Chenin Blanc wine is similar to Sauvignon Blanc while warm climate Chenin Blanc wines are closer to Chardonnay in style.
Chenin Blanc shows a range of fruits that differ depending on the time of harvest. Grapes picked early are fresh and acidic showing green apples, pears and even passionfruit. Later picks offer more ripe stone fruits. On the nose, there are herbs and spices as well as floral and earthy notes. The high acidity of Chenin Blanc lends itself to the production of sparkling wines.
Pairing food with Chenin Blanc Wine
Chenin Blanc food matches are as diverse as the wines styles. Fresh, citrusy Chenin Blanc pairs well with sushi and sashimi or even roast chicken or rainbow trout. As with many other sparkling white varieties, sparkling Chenin Blanc pairs well with oysters. After dinner, a really sweet Chenin Blanc pairs very well with creamy desserts or fruit salads.
An Australian coast-to-coast combination of a Margaret River Chenin Blanc and King Island triple-cream Brie from Tasmania will offer rich rewards.
Notable regions for Chenin Blanc Wine
Margaret River, Australia
Chenin Blanc in Australia has seen most of its success in the Margaret River region of Western Australia. Chenin Blanc, Margaret River wines in particular, tend to be fruitier in palate and bouquet. Responding to demands, Margaret River Chenin Blancs tend to have more passionfruit on the palate.
Chenin Blanc has been a staple of the Western Australian wine growing for centuries. Early success came in the form of Houghton White Burgundy. Due to naming controls for French wines, Houghton renamed their wine to 'Classic White' and remains one of the most popular white wines in Australia. Many other Western Australian winemakers produce a similar style of wine with Chenin Blanc. These wines are typically called 'Classic Dry White' and grew in popularity due to the warm climate in Western Australia.
South Africa
South Africa is the largest producer of Chenin Blanc in the world. Known locally as Steen, Chenin Blanc was an important part of the establishment during the 1970s of the international reputation of South African wine.
The future of Chenin Blanc Wine
Australia is still looking to create truly exceptional Chenin Blanc. The 'Classic Dry White' style wines of Western Australia will continue to be a go-to white wine in Australia's warmer regions and summer sun holidays throughout the world. Australia wine culture is one of endeavour and experimentation and the desire to challenge the international competition with every wine including Chenin Blanc.

TP needs some updating. It is not very intuitive for new users. Instructions are hard to follow at times. Support response is in need of someone's dedication. Having individual paints is a real attraction within iRacing. This needs to be done better or replaced! Interesting that without member support there would be no answers or help. It's a shame, the program is so popular not to have good management.

Family's quest for answers
The twin-engine turboprop had just touched down at Lombok international airport when Lhani Davies felt raw anger well up inside her.
She looked out of the window and said to herself: "My son just left here three weeks ago. This is the place that killed him.
"I just felt sick. I felt sick to the guts," she said later, trying to explain the sudden hatred that came over her.
"I could feel myself winding up and winding up and winding up."
Three weeks earlier, the Perth mother's ordeal had begun when she clutched her husband Tim - shattered and unbelieving - as a Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital specialist told them that the life of their 19-year-old son Liam could not be saved.
His body had been airlifted from Lombok, ravaged by methanol poisoning and the diagnosis hadn't come quick enough, they were told. He was brain dead and the pair had to make the heartbreaking call to turn off his life support.
As Liam lay motionless in intensive care with a lacrosse jumper at his feet and his passport under his pillow with two Kiwi feathers brought from New Zealand by his aunt, the couple watched as medical equipment was turned off and life faded from their son.
Tim said he knew the medical reality of the situation and told himself that his feelings weren't logical. But as this was all happening, he couldn't help the panic sweeping over him.
"What have I done . . . I've just killed my son," he thought.
The tragedy should have ended there.
But the month since has been frustrated by Australian consular ambivalence, ignorance by Indonesian police, contradictory statements from both countries about an investigation into what happened and evidence from _The West Australian _that the bar that poisoned their son was still serving drinks laced with methanol.
So last week, Tim and Lhani Davies decided to head to Lombok for answers.
"I'd been in Bali and we'd always embraced local people," Lhani said of the anger she felt when they arrived.
"But I didn't want to speak the language. I didn't want to spend a cent. I didn't want to give them anything."
She said it wasn't until she got in the car with her husband and drove along the winding green roads to Sengiggi, that she started to calm down.
"When we started that beautiful drive, I thought that this is what Liam loved about Lombok," she said. "This is what we loved about Lombok.
"Liam thought this place was close to heaven. He loved this place.
"He never ever thought this would be the place that would kill him."
Tim and Lhani returned to Lombok for two reasons. One, to push for what should have seemed obvious - an investigation into who had poisoned their son.
The second, to meet Rosalind Jay, the 18-year-old Canadian student whom Liam had befriended in his final days and who was also poisoned as the pair saw in the new year at Rudy's Bar on the party island of Gili Trawangan, north-west of Lombok.
Rosalind came from Canada prepared to file an official police statement after getting brushed off by the Australian Consulate. Tim and Lhani wanted Indonesia's health department to mount a wider investigation and push for change.
The group clutched piles of paperwork - a statement from Rosalind which outlined the night she and Liam were poisoned - along with Liam's medical records, death certificate and a photograph of him in ICU.
Under her right arm, Lhani clutched a series of front pages from _The West Australian _, determined to show Lombok police and the Governor that there was enough evidence to mount an investigation and enough publicity to damage Lombok's tourist industry.
For two days last week, a series of frustrating attempts to meet Lombok officials fell through and Indonesian police hit them with a staggering claim that yes, they had gone to the island to do a two-day investigation but no, they didn't get anywhere because they didn't know the name of the bar allegedly responsible. They claimed the Australian Federal Police had withheld this critical information, along with other key details of Liam's death.
But a breakthrough finally came on Wednesday, when Lombok police agreed to go to the island with Tim, Lhani and Rosalind, take statements from the three of them and take a sample of alcohol from the bar.
By yesterday, the results of their tests had still not come through.
Last night, as Tim and Lhani flew back to Perth, they said they chose to be optimistic.
On their last night in Lombok, as sun set over the fishing boats at Sengiggi beach, Rosalind, who had known Liam's parents for a only few days, instinctively rested her head on Lhani's shoulder.
Returning to Lombok to help push for an investigation and getting a chance to meet Liam's parents had given her a sense of closure, she said.
For Tim and Lhani Davies, closure is further away.
When their son died, the couple took his body back to their house in Marmion. They laid his open coffin on the rug in the loungeroom where he had often fallen asleep.
In line with the tradition of the family's Samoan roots, his body stayed in the room for three days and was never left alone.
Tim and Lhani slept alongside their son's body on the first night. On the second night they were joined by one of Liam's friends, a cousin and an aunt. A fresh lei was prepared and put around his neck each day.
In normal circumstances, this ritual would have ended with Liam's body being returned to his homeland. But despite his New Zealand pride, Tim and Lhani said his home and friends were in Australia, where he had been since he was three. More than 600 people went to the funeral, the biggest crowd of mourners the funeral director had seen.
So they decided to cremate their son.
The coffin was Kawasaki green and one of the kiwi feathers that had been under his hospital pillow was put in his pocket so he could take a piece of his homeland with him.
On the 12-month anniversary of his death, tradition dictates that an unveiling should take place, normally of a headstone. The anniversary of his death is a long way away. But for now, Tim and Lhani think they will take Liam's two brothers to the hill on their grandparents' farm on New Zealand's North Island that Liam used to climb.
"Perhaps we'll go set it up there," Lhani said.
It is not the only part of their son's death that, for now, remains unresolved.

Sweet Baby Girl | Bucks County Newborn Photography
Oh how I just love the newness of newborns and this little angel could not have been any sweeter. She slept for her entire newborn session and was a dream to photograph. I'm pretty sure Mom and I could have played and styled her for hours. I love her beautiful lips and her sweet little curls. Such a pleasure to work with this sweet little baby girl! I love capturing newborn sessions in my Bucks County home studio where we can really take our time and capture all of the adorable features of the baby. There is no rushing with newborns but sometimes I can get a little carried away with all this cuteness, once we started we just couldn't stop. Happy Tuesday Friends!

Reflecting on Harmony Day
Last week we joined together to celebrate Harmony Day. It is a time to celebrate Australia's cultural diversity and embrace shared values and cultural traditions. The key message of Harmony Day is "everyone belongs".
Australia is one of the most multicultural countries in the world. Almost a quarter of Australians were born overseas and it is fantastic to see that our multicultural population is continuing to grow. Four million Australians speak a language other than English.
As a nation we are privileged to experience a rich diversity of cultural, ethnic, linguistic and religious backgrounds. Our diversity is our strength.
The vision of Harmony Day, as a day where we respect and embrace all of the cultures that make up our nation, is wonderful. However, Australia needs to work towards making every day a Harmony Day. Everyone, no matter what their culture or religious background has the right to feel safe, accepted and respected in our country.
It is my hope that Harmony Day will stir a permanent sense of unity, bringing acceptance and respect of all cultures.

One of the Bromptonauts on the BromptonTalk group at Yahoo was asking whether you can install a Down Low Glow on a Brompton. I reported that I'd installed one and that I'd had a great experience riding with it. Cars give me a wider berth than before I installed the DLG, and passersby, including car drivers, regularly comment that my bike looks like a Christmas tree. If it keeps someone from running me over, I'm fine with that.
Another of the Bromptonauts asked for pictures, and I decided to post them here rather than on Yahoo so you can find them with an Internet search. (Information posted in Yahoo groups can only be searched within Yahoo, and BromptonTalk is only accessible to group members. Membership is free and open to everyone, but you have to know it exists.)
Here's the Down Low Glow on a folded Brompton in my driveway.
The Down Low Glow comes in one- and two-tube versions. On a bike that doesn't fold, you can install the one-tube model on the down tube, but that won't work on the Brompton because, when the Brompton is folded, there isn't enough room for the neon tube between the main tube and the rear tire. However, if you install the tubes of a two-tube DLG on either side of the main tube, you can fold the bike without interference.
The battery tucks in nicely behind the seat post. The little box in the triangle to the left of the seat post splits power from the battery between the two tubes. A switch is available, but I didn't bother getting it, so I have to unplug the cable; the two cable ends are partially visible behind the nearer DLG tube. (Most of the Velcro was included with the DLG.)
Here's the rear view.
The tubes of the DLG are half-silvered, so you aren't blinded by the light. If you orient the DLG tubes so you have about a four- to six-foot radius of light, the light is visible from the side, too, even when streetlights wash out the glow on the street.

Qaddafi's Libya
For a madman, Qaddafi displays surprisingly subtle strategic skills. He is, of course, an Army colonel (even if his stars are self-appointed) and armies are not known for subtle acts. But the strategy Qaddafi has adopted to counter Libya's popular revolution is worth study, not just by other military dictators but equally by chairmen of besieged corporations trying to salvage damaged brands.
While his first reactions, through surprise and shock, displayed a typical bunker mentality, he has now adopted all the skills of a modern marketer — going on the offensive with openness and some frank admissions and calling in the world's media to prove, or rather disprove, the international community's condemnatory case.
We shouldn't be surprised that the Libyan revolt has not followed the rapid path of those in Tunisia and Egypt. Qaddafi's Libya has always been prepared to be a thorn in the side of all others — often just to assert the uniqueness of its revolutionary status. In addition, Qaddafi has always been a showman.
His apparent rapprochement with the West in recent years gave him the symbolic opportunity to plant his simple bedu tent beside the extravagent richness of the meeting houses of the world's most influential leaders. He gained financially and politically by seeming to come in from the cold. But he could never change his beliefs that his Libya is a singularly revolutionary nation that can stand alongside others, but will never be subsumed.
To Qaddafi — who has long spent his nights in a desert tent surrounded by armed loyalists — the methods used to intimidate and eliminate circling opposition demonstrators seem perfectly logical and justified.
Now he has co-opted the international media to endorse his position. The scattered nature of the opposition and their geographical dislocation enables him to present himself — as 42 years ago — as the nation's natural revolutionary leader fighting reactionary forces. Now these forces are armed, media coverage simply bolsters his story.
Libya's future today is unclear. But one thing seems certain. There will be many twists and surprising turns before the country's latest revolution ends. And the media, which has now (perhaps unfortunately) become part of the story, is likely to play a significant role in its resolution.
Viktor Orbán: Centre Stage at the EU
Hungary's accession to the rotating EU Presidency in January has thrown up the sort of political contradictions that may cause reflection by Europe's right-of-centre parties.
This Presidency is personified by the robust figure of prime minister Viktor Orbán, the 47 year-old, chairman and co-founder of Hungary's centre-right Fidesz party. Fidesz stormed back into power at Hungary's National Assembly elections last May, gaining a two-third's majority and becoming the first Hungarian party since the Soviet era to win outright election victory.
In Orbán's maiden speech to the EU Parliament, heading the latest Presidency to carry forward the EU's political agenda, he presented all one might expect from someone who has gained a rebellious political reputation, but it was far from what most MEPs wanted to hear.
Considerable discontent exists in the EU parliament over measures introduced in Hungary since Orbán's election. Aware of this, he chose to focus on defending his national position before MEPs rather than on the Presidency programme. And he did so not by explaining his legislation, but by accusing his critics of being anti-Hungarian and anti-Fidesz (because his governing party enjoys a freedom from coalition denied to others).
What has particularly upset liberals in the EU is Orbán's revision of Hungary's media laws, ostensibly to introduce EU compliance. However, additional requirements will compel all publishers, including those online, to register with a Fidesz-dominated media council and comply with legal requirements to reveal sources if required and to provide objective, balanced and 'moral' reporting, with threats of suspension or fines for non-compliance.
This is not only viewed as an undemocratic measure for an EU state, it is also seen to undermine the EU's ability to support press freedom within non-EU countries that exercise illiberal sanctions against media and journalists.
The conundrum that particularly now faces right-of-centre parties in the EU is the attitude to strike towards their nominally centre-right Hungarian partner. Uncertainty lies not just over Orbán's media laws, but also over his steps to reduce Hungary's budget deficit by nationalising the country's private pension funds and applying seemingly protectionist turnover super-taxes to many of the largest foreign companies operating in Hungary.
These are not the kind of measures one would naturally expect from a centre-right Christian Democrat party, of which EU group Fidesz is indeed a member. Yet, other legislation introduced by Orbán might provide succour even to economists of the Austrian School. Income tax has been levelled to a flat rate of 16 percent and ordinary corporate taxes also cut to 10 percent. By these tax-cutting measures, and provision of preferential loans to SMEs, Orbán hopes to raise employment and stimulate growth in Hungary's stagnant economy.
Overall, however, Orbán's economic package – the New Széchenyi Plan – distinctly departs from the response of most western economies facing excessive debt – plus, in Hungary's case, the pressures of repaying a $25 billion IMF loan. Hungary's treasury will be temporarily boosted by embracing private funds but deep and meaningful balancing cuts in government expenditure have yet to materialise.
The contradictions inherent in Viktor Orbán's conservatism confuse western observers, but they are better understood by Hungarians themselves. Since the 1980s, Orbán has followed a very public political journey, from an aggressive ultra-liberal to an ultra-conservative. As a radical liberal he became a natural activist against the elitist form of capitalism introduced by the 1990 election of the first post-communist HFD government. In this same year, Orbán placed his Fidesz party under the umbrella of the Liberal International. But over the following decade he took political advantage to change Fidesz into a right-wing conservative party. After winning the party's first election into government in 1998 he immediately switched political allegiance to Europe's Christian Democrats.
In this final guise, Orbán has led his party into representing itself as a pillar of traditional – though some would say authoritarian – Hungarian values. (Online blogs speculate he could apply his media laws to impose respectable family values on Hungary's most popular reality TV show!) In practice, Fidesz has polarised Hungarian politics, unifying the right against all the rest, who are roughly dismissed as "Liberalbolsheviks".
Yet, isolating Hungary's liberal SZDSZ party is an ambition shared with Fidesz' main opposition, the socialist MSZP. And between Hungary's two major competing parties there is evidence of even more co-existence of otherwise 'rightist' and 'leftist' policies.
The MSZP-led governing coalition ousted by Fidesz last year advocated free market economics and replacement of universal benefits with the targeting of social needs. In contrast, Fidesz has favoured state intervention in the economy, including potential ownership of significant economic enterprises. Fidesz' critics suggest the party shows too much support for favoured businesses. It has appointed party supporters to supposedly independent public bodies. Doubts are also expressed over the party's reluctance to introduce fundamental economic reforms, relying instead on the financial largesse of EU grants.
Contradictions concerning the political direction of Fidesz, and its outspoken leader, will therefore certainly remain. To many conservatives, Orbán's bold, plain-talking, and lack of inhibition in supporting national identity, are qualities to admire. And moderate Conservative parties facing similar budget issues, such as Poland's Civic Platform, will certainly offer Orbán support where they can. But he is likely to continue to be viewed as a controversial and divisive figure from the liberal-minded, cooperative ethos that predominates in the institutions of the EU.
Now at EU centre stage, Orbán will hope to separate his approach to domestic economic management from his wider EU responsibilities: namely, to secure the economic governance and crisis management reform programmes that have been outlined for the EU by the Belgian Presidency. Fortunately, he is not a newcomer to the EU, nor to the practice of adapting policy to secure political ends.
Orbán must hope to employ the charm and resolution he undoubtedly possesses to win the consensus needed from his European colleagues to be able to claim a successful Presidency. But, over the coming months, many in Brussels will surely experience anxious moments in expectation of Orbán-style departures from the conventional harmonised EU script.
N.B. Since this piece was first written in January, Orbán has somewhat modified his media law proposals at the behest of the European Commission. Private online bloggers, for one, will not now be required to register with the State.

We've been using ReadyAPI for a long time with wsdl/xsd files and many of the users are very happy with the Form editor since it automatically arranges inputs fields when using large request. It makes it easy to add/delete large objects in the body.
When we import the wsdl/xsd files into ReadyAPI, the tool creates a default request with all the available parameters and the parameters are also represented in the FORM editor. However, when importing a similar openapi definition no default request is created and the FORM editor is not availible. See attached screenshots.
Now we're in a new project with requests using REST were we have POST requests with many parameters and this causes trouble with inexperienced users when adding/removing json objects in the request body.
When using GET methods there's no problem manually creating parameters and using the FORM editor since there are not too many input parameters to handle.
Is there any way we could create/design openapi.json files in a certain way in order for ReadyApi tool to interpret them so that we could use Form Editor in the same way as with wsdl/xsd files?
Or is there some improvement you can do within the ReadyAPI tool itself that would facilitate the use of Form Editor for large REST requests?
I might add that the openapi definition files we're using are version 3.0.1 (currently not supported in version 2.5 of ReadyAPI) but we simply edit the version number from "openapi" : "3.0.1" to "openapi" : "3.0.0" in the openapi.json definition file.

These are 12 month wall calendars that are 17 inches tall x 11 inches wide when opened. Each page includes one of my best landscape or nature photographs from the past 12 months plus a relevant scripture or quote.
Anyone who intends to buy one (or more!) of these calendars can help pick the photos that will grace the pages. This is a fun way for you to be involved and can tell your friends - "I picked that one!"
Here's how it works. I have done the hard part of going through all my photos from October 2012 through August 2013 and narrowed the list of candidates down to 30.
|One of my picks
- One goes on the back cover
- Four are my picks (I get to choose my favorites)
- That leaves 9 to be chosen out of the remaining 25.
Here's how the very unscientific voting process works.
- Go to http://www.thesiggins.com/SpecialProjects/2014-Calendar
- Click on any of the photos to zoom in.
- You can then move forward or backward using the left and right arrow keys.
- Scroll through the photos, paying attention to the photo names at the bottom left. Remember the vertical waterfall photo goes on the back and the last four are my picks. Don't pick those.
- Pick your favorite 9 and send me an email to email@example.com with the names of your picks. This is the name that displays at the bottom left of the photo.
- Let your friends, neighbors, family, and random strangers on the street know about the calendars. Spread the word.
The calendars will be available around Thanksgiving and they make great Christmas gifts. They are only $15 each. The best part is the money stays here in Kingsport and goes to Hope Haven Ministries.

Our annual Christmas decorating began as is our families custom on Thanksgiving day after our meal had settled and we had a little while to visit with Grandma and Poppie it was time to get to work and put up the outside lights.
It was a warm day, but there was a nice breeze so it made for a pleasant time outside.
Over the next week the house was a disaster area as we brought all the decorations down from the attic and began the process of decorating for the holiday season.
|Boxes, boxes everywhere
|The before as the trees come together. This is the main living room tree
|Main tree as decorating progresses to completion
|Decorations on top of my cabinet in the living room
|Kevin putting up garland in the sun room and the tree and some decor in there.
|Decorations in Kevin's office
|Decorations and small tree on top of tv cabinet in living room
|Entry table
|Reading nook
|Decorations on top of my desk
|Hannah's tree
|Lauren's tree and decor

|Trees at night
|Living room with fireplace decor
|Dogs by sun room tree with decorative plaster basset hound under tree
So now we're decorated, the gifts are bought and wrapped, most of my Christmas cards are written and the girls continue to count down the days as Christmas nears and their excitement grows.

Cabinet Profile Eric K. Shinseki
Department of Veterans Affairs
President Barack Obama's choice to lead the Department of Veterans Affairs, retired Gen. Eric K. Shinseki, is known for publicly challenging former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's Iraq war strategy. In 2003, Shinseki, then the Army chief of staff, testified before Congress that it would take several hundred thousand troops to control Iraq after the invasion. Within months after the remarks, he was forced out his post. In an interview, Mr. Obama said he chose Shinseki for the VA post because he "was right."
Shinseki, 66, was the Army's first four-star general of Japanese-American ancestry. If confirmed, he will be the first Asian-American to lead the government's second largest agency, which has been criticized for underestimating the resources needed to care for returning Iraq war veterans. Mr. Obama made the announcement on Dec. 7, 2008, the 67th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Shinseki graduated from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point in 1965 and spent 38 years as a soldier, the last four as Army chief of staff. He is the recipient of two Purple Hearts for life-threatening injuries suffered in Vietnam. He also has Master's degrees from Duke University and the National War College.
Shinseki was confirmed by the Senate on January 20, 2009.

We're Back From Our New York Trip
Mary and I returned on the 15th from our trip to New York. We had a wonderful time visiting families and friends.
We left Tennessee at 5:00 a.m. on the 31st of July and drove 750 miles to Cobleskill, NY. The next morning, we drove to Keene Valley to see family and friends. It's just under 1,000 miles from Tennessee to the Adirondacks where we're from.
The following night I was a guest banjo picker at Mad River Pizza where Don Perkins was playing fiddle and Earl Southmayd was accompanying him on guitar.
We stayed quite a few nights with Don and Pat at their home in Chazy. One of those days, Don and Pat threw a music party for us and invited several of their close friends who play music. It was great to pick with Dick "Cookie" Cook and see his wife, Pauline, again. I also got to pick with Curt Phaneuf and meet his wife. I also played with Earl Southmayd again which is always a treat. Donnie played his fiddle just like he always has, beautifully!
The 9th of August, I played at a music party hosted by Mr. and Mrs. Don La Barge of Norfolk, NY. I played banjo for about 1 hour before heading over to Canton for a surprise birthday party for Mary's mother who turned 90 years of age. Much of her family was present for the event and thousands of pictures were taken; many by a professional photographer hired to record the special occasion.
After a few more days of visiting my family members and members of Mary's family and having wonderful meals prepared by Rosy and Ricky (Mary's brother and his wife), it was time to head home to the Unaka mountain wilderness area of Tennessee to rejoin our many musician and other friends and resume my performing dates here in the South.
What a wonderful trip north. Be sure to check out the photos (soon to be posted) on the "2014 Trip to the Adirondacks" page.

I feel like my recent blog posts should start with "Bless me bloggers, it has been ___ day's since my last cooked meal!" … There has been grilled cheese and tomato soup, cottage cheese and tomato basil wheat thins, pizza, McDonald's and one of my favorites – french bread, cheese and dried salami – but nothing home made or delicious in any way. Until this past weekend! We went to a local festival dedicated to Shrimp and Grits and had the most amazing food! I used to love shrimp when I was a child but somewhere along the line I stopped eating it by the bowl-full and only ordered it at Bonefish (bang bang shrimp are to die for) and grits are not a favorite of mine either… I don't mind the taste, but the texture makes me want to gag. However, the shrimp and grits we had at this festival were just simply amazing! I was able to get a recipe from the winners from last years festival, and I can't wait for an opportunity to try this recipe out. Between the butter, the cheese, the whipping cream and others … I may gain 10 pounds in one sitting, but hey – It'll be worth it!!! Until next time …
Heat and Pour Frosting – Deliciousness!12 Sep
This week has been crazy. Crazy in a good way. But, crazy in a good way is bad for my cooking … or lack there of this week. I think we've had McDonald's twice, a rotisserie chicken that made two meals and my staple "what's for dinner" meal – spaghetti. BUT, I did make some pretty damn good yellow cake! And yes, it was straight from the box.
I was walking up and down the aisles at Harris Teeter wondering what I would make for dinner … {Sometimes I think that's the best way to find dinner} … and I came across an end-cap filled with frosting. A new kind of frosting that looks like it is in a chocolate syrup bottle that you heat up in the microwave and pour over your cake. No longer do you have to wait for the cake to cool completely … gone are the days of ripping off the top layer of cake or having crumbles stuck in your frosting… wahoooo! Here is my beautiful work of deliciousness.
And here is the bottle of yummy goodness.
Thank you Duncan Hines for making my cake so delicious! Ya'll have fun with this one… I'm going to go heat the leftover frosting and find some strawberries! Night!
Fish Tacos on a Paper Plate Kinda Night1 Sep
We had company over the weekend and into the early part of this week. Company is always fun to cook for because you try to find things that they like and that will be great conversation food … keeping you at the table longer for chats! We also went to the beach for most of the day and wanted something fresh and light. Fish tacos where suggested – recipe was found online – shopping was done – and cooking started! {Brilliant idea by the way}
Let me start by saying, my photos are random at best. I was talking, cooking, drinking, etc… I snapped pics when a good photo-op hit me in the face! Secondly, if you have a "beer batter" that you like to use on fish … use that. Otherwise you can follow the directions below for batter. We had a box of beer batter that we like to use. And we use MGD as the liquid. Makes it authentic!!!
To make the beer batter: In a large bowl, combine 1 cup all purpose flour, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Blend 1 egg and 1 cup beer {Miller Genuine Draft is the best!} then quickly stir into the flower mixture. Don't worry about a few lumps. {Remember: You can bypass this whole step if you have a batter you like to use that comes out of a box}
To make the most wonderful white sauce you have ever tasted … follow these directions: In a medium bowl, mix together 1/2 cup plain yogurt and 1/2 cup mayonnaise. Gradually stir in fresh lime juice until consistency is slightly runny. Season with 1 teaspoon minced capers {which I hate, but you can't taste them in this sauce}, 1 jalapeno pepper minced, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon dill weed and 1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper. {Delish – I'm going to have to find another use for this sauce. It really was great!}
Now, to get to the fish. We used about 1 pound of Cod fillets, fresh from the butcher. I'm sure you could use some frozen Cod, thawed. We cut them up into long narrow strips. You could also do small chunks if you wanted. Heat oil or your deep fryer to approx 375 degrees. Dip the fish into the beer batter and fry until crisp and golden brown. Drain the grease from the fish on paper towels.
{This is where I should have a lovely picture of a pile of fried fish!}
In the meantime, you want to heat up some corn tortillas in a fry pan. They taste so nice after they have been heated up and fried a bit with some oil in the pan. When you're ready to serve … place friend fish in the tortillas, top with shredded cabbage and some cheese then top with the white sauce. {Mmmm. I'm thinking this should be served for dinner again tomorrow.} It looks something like this – served with black beans.
Don't hate. It was a paper plate kinda night. I'm telling you though – – Fish Tacos – – Amazing! And, I'd love to hear about it when you make them. I hope they bring all kinds of chats to your dinner table! Night Ya'll!

The debate on public pay is largely focused on 'fat cats', a research paper by the CSO demonstrates that the biggest premium is actually not at the top but the bottom. The idea that we should 'rescue' certain cohorts or 'punish' them based on their pay is ill founded, it doesn't take into account their productivity, their skill-set or much else other than an arduous concept that if you don't earn a lot that you are an innocent victim because of it, and if you are highly paid you are somehow stealing from the national purse.
What may actually make a difference is if we try to align incentives, by creating massive bonuses based on savings. Croke Park takes a very top down approach, but at the coal face there are people who see realisable savings and these opportunities are missed because there is no reward in finding them.
For instance, you might have a person working in maintenance who knows that there are substitute products that cost less than the ones they use, or where changing a rota would create a savings, if they were to submit the idea for a savings due to their innate knowledge of the job they do why not give them 50% of that savings in year one if it is implemented? Peer pressure in the public sector (like in many workplaces) is significant, the need to change can be countered by this, but if there were significant earnings attached to finding such a savings we might discover that our biggest asset in public sector reform are the public sector themselves and not a third party observer.
The net effect would be to find a savings of 'X' and the cost of finding that savings (because you won't need a big 5 to find them) will be 'X/2', give the person who finds the savings half of the amount. Imagine the positive message that it sends out? 'My co-worker got a €200,000 bonus this year and he is a lowly paid public sector worker'; if they find a €400,000 savings that is verifiable and can be implemented then why not? It doesn't have to be 'win-lose' there actually are 'win-win' situations, you see it in business all the time, in fact, that is really the key to running a business.
So stuff Croke Park and the debate in general, we should let the people who can figure out ways to do it better do just that, and reward them for it.

Schillo Tshuma redirected a Patrick Mullins shot late in the first overtime period to lift the No. 1 Maryland men's soccer team over No. 2 North Carolina on a wet Friday night at Ludwig Field.
A crowd of 7,340, the second highest in Maryland (13-0-1, 6-0-0 ACC) soccer history, saw a quality contest with the top-ranked teams in the country going back and forth on a water-logged field.
The Terrapins dominated the first half of play, creating multiple high quality chances. Mullins' long distance strike was saved by UNC goalkeeper Scott Goodwin as the Maryland attack overran the top defensive team in the country early.
Maryland's opportunities continued midway through the half. An incredible sequence saw Maryland pepper North Carolina's goal with five shots, but Goodwin rise to the task, making three quality saves.
Maryland picked up where it left off in the second half. Midfielder Jereme Raley's corner was almost turned in by defender Dakota Edwards within the first three minutes, but the freshman's effort slammed off the post.
The last 10 minutes saw both teams get within inches of victory. Midfielder John Stertzer created a glorious chance with four minutes remaining, but Goodwin saved the short-range effort.
Tshuma's header with two minutes remaining struck the post, as the Terrapins continued to press for the winner.
North Carolina (11-2-1, 4-1-1 ACC) was able to beat Maryland on the counter and create their best chance of the night late in regulation. Junior forward Robert Lovejoy was taken down in the box late by Tshuma, but Maryland keeper Keith Cardona came up huge, saving Lovejoy's penalty and midfielder Verneri Valimaa's follow-up.
Maryland came right back down the field after the penalty, and Mullins' shot with mere seconds on the clock found the post.
Maryland finally obtained the breakthrough in the first overtime stanza after a flowing attacking move. Tshuma was able to find Mullins streaking on the left side of the box. The senior's hard left-footed shot was redirected in by the freshman for the winner.
The goal was Tshuma's sixth of the season, and Mullins' team-leading 24th point on the year. It was only the fourth goal North Carolina's defense has surrendered all season long.
"This was a great game. It was a great advertisement for college soccer," head coach Sasho Cirovski said. "This was a real classic 1v2 game and this is one of those nights I'll always treasure.
"To make the plays in this game we needed to make. We dominated the first half, came up a little empty, and battled through the second half. They hit a few goalposts, we hit a few goalposts. We saved a penalty and then we win in overtime. It doesn't get much better than that.
"I love our fans. For me and the players to have them stand and sing and cheer through these conditions is one of the most humbling things a player or coach can have."
Maryland retakes the field this Tuesday against Lehigh. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. from Ludwig Field and the game can be seen live on TerpsTV Premium.

Minnesota drivers crashed into 33,000 deer last year
If you're looking to crash into a deer, Minnesota's not a bad place to start.
If you don't want to kill Bambi, destroy your car, and possibly hurt yourself and your passengers in the process... well, now you finally have that one missing reason to avoid the state of West Virginia.
Minnesota is the eighth most likely state to have a deer-vehicle collision, according to a new study from State Farm Insurance.
Going against the grain, Minnesota actually saw an increase of 4 percent over last year's collisions. Nationwide, the total number of deer crashes is down 7 percent. Even with that decrease, there were a whole lot of deer accidents from July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2011.
Unless you're an expert on this kind of stuff, you might be shocked to find out how many.
Would you believe... 1.09 million? Well, believe it, because State Farm is an insurance company, and would never lie to us.
Minnesota more than did its part, smacking into a respectable 33,218 deer during the 12-month period. That's far from the highest total number of deer collisions, a title that belongs to Pennsylvania, which had 101,299 -- about 23,000 more than Michigan, which came in second.
State Farm's study then ranked states by "most likely" to hit a deer, which found that West Virginia is clearly the worst place for animal loving commuters: West Virginia drivers had a 1 in 53 chance of crashing into a deer during the study. Minnesota's 1 in 98 odds leave us in eighth place, virtually even with neighboring Wisconsin (where the likelihood was 1 in 97), slightly behind Iowa (1 in 77, good enough for second most likely), and just ahead of the 1 in 107 odds in North Dakota.
It should be pointed out that the state of North Dakota only has 107 drivers, total, which probably means that Ray did it again this year.
On the other end of the spectrum, hitting a deer in Hawaii is nearly impossible. Last year, your odds were 1 in 6,267, by far the longest odds in America.
A similar study was once attempted in Canada. It turned up zero reports of deer collisions, but survey takers did offer hundreds of pounds of frozen venison steaks with only trace amounts of Buick.

Healing skin is growing
Like a spider spins it's web.
On films of shining gossamer
That skims a tidal web.
But if the spindle shatters
Like a rock upon the shore,
And splits the root that's seeded
Like an apple from its core.
Then crimson seas will gather
On their beds of netted gauze,
With vapour trail incisions
Weeping through internal walls.
But catch the weave in progress,
Feed the spool with sterile soups.
Scrape the crust around the middle,
Stitch the hems with safety loops.
Let the sunshine reach the healing
And undress this pot of gold.
Leave Nature's engine running,
And perfection will unfold.

Summer is awesome… and it's on the way. It got to 27 degrees Celsius yesterday, so it's time to start thinking about packing away the winter woollies.
Longer days – I love day light saving time.
BBQ's out in the back yard with friends and family.
Cool drinks.
School Holidays.
Ice blocks.
Water sprinklers.
Swimming pools and the beach.
Watermelon, cherry and mango season.
Shorts and thongs (we wear thongs on our feet, here in Australia).
I think of all of this fun stuff, when I think of summer.
But then there's the annoying stuff.
Like blow flies. Hate, hate, hate them.
One has flown into the house and as I type this it is buzzing around the window try to get out. Banging against the glass. Annoying me. Big time.
Must go and find the fly swatter. Or remember it's time to buy some more fly spray.
What do you LOVE & HATE about the warmer seasons?

Barley Patch
Gerald Murnane
Gerald Murnane is regarded by many as Australia's most innovative writer of fiction. Barley Patch is his first new work in fourteen years, written after a period in which he had thought he would never write fiction again.
The book begins with the question, 'Must I write?' What follows is both a chronicle of the images that have endured in the author's mind, and an exploration of their nature. The clarity of the images is extraordinary, as is their range, from Mandrake the Magician to the bachelor uncle kicked in the 'stones' as a child, from the country cousin's doll's house to the mysterious woman who lets her hair down, from the soldier beetle who winks messages from God to the racehorses that run forever in the author's mind, beyond the grasslands, to the place where the characters of fiction dwell before they come into existence in books.Print ISBN : 978-1-920882-53-2

James Franco has criticized Australian
film censors for banning a gay film which includes explicit sex.
The Australian Classification Board
decided that Director Travis Matthews' I Want Your Love was
too risky to screen at LGBT film festivals in Australia.
Franco, who collaborated with Matthews
on the film Interior. Leather Bar, released a video on Monday
lamenting the decision.
(Related: James
Franco's Interior.
Leather Bar
premieres at Sundance.)
Sex in films, Franco
says in the nearly 2-minute clip, "hasn't had a chance to grow
and become a sophisticated storytelling device."
"Frankly, adults should be able to
choose … I don't know why in this day and age, something like this
… is being banned. It's just embarrassing." (The video is
embedded on this page. Visit
our video library for more videos.)
In I
Want Your Love, a 20-something artist contemplates his place
in San Francisco as a gay artist before returning to his hometown in
Ohio. During his last weekend in town, he negotiates for sex with
his best friend.
"I Want Your Love dares to
capture the uncensored zeitgeist of modern-day San Francisco unlike
any film before it," the film's description reads.

Provide your subscribers with special content that they might not can locate on your regular website. Also give them deals on your mailing list. Send special deals and holiday greetings, not just when you want sales from them!
Don't use a lot of graphics in marketing via email materials.
Let the subscriber dictate how often they would like to get messages from your business, how often they want to receive them, and how much information they wish to disclose.
Try to educate yourself on how not come across like spam by viewing spam. Get a free email address, put it all over the Internet, and it won't be long before your inbox is jammed with spam.

NEW YORK, Oct. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential securities fraud at Patriot Coal Corporation ("Patriot Coal" or the "Company") (OTCQB: PCXCQ).
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120119/MM38856LOGO )
The investigation focuses on whether the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by failing to disclose that: (1) certain Patriot Coal officers had disclosed misguiding statements regarding the Company's business prospects; (2) as such, the Company had violated Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") rules by failing to correctly account for costs associated with Court-ordered remediation obligations related to the Company's selenium water treatment requirements; (3) Patriot Coal officers had improperly capitalized these costs instead of recording them as expenses, thereby overstating the Company's financial results.
In response to comments received from the SEC regarding the Company's accounting for the Court-ordered remediation costs, defendants were forced to reveal that the Company's previously issued consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 could no longer be depended upon. Moreover, Patriot Coal officers admitted that it was necessary to restate the Company's previously issued consolidated financial statements to accrue a liability and recognize a loss for the estimated costs of installing the Court-ordered water treatment facilities.
On July 9, 2012, Patriot Coal shocked the market when it announced that it and substantially all of its wholly owned subsidiaries have filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. When the true state of the Company's business health became public, Patriot Coal's shares dropped 72%, from a closing pricing of $2.19 on July 6, 2012, to a closing price of $0.61 at the end of the day on July 9, 2012.
