Can I play DVD ISO/IFO images on iPad Air, iPad 3/4?
Can I play DVD ISO/IFO images on iPad Air, iPad 3/4?
I often back up my DVD collections to the computer, from the DVD folder, i find there is a ISO file, by wikipedia i learn that it's a image file which contains the full information of the DVD, the question is how can i play these ISO image files on my new iPad?"
It's clear that the third generation iPad can't play DVD ISO movies directly, though it's more powerful in many aspects, it still can't resolve DVD ISO files. Many people just like the question described, have many DVD collections in their computer, and want to watch DVD ISO movies on iPad Air, iPad 3/4 as ease. Perhaps you also have this requirement, how did you make it?
As far as i know, there are two solutions to solve this problem, one is selecting a right media player, which is able to play DVD ISO files, the other is converting DVD ISO image files to iPad Air, iPad 3/4 compatibled video formats. After several tests, I decided to give up the first solution, because i tried many iPad media players, no one to my satisfaction. For myself, the second solution seems easier to realize. Now, i will share you how did i make it.
In order to transcode DVD ISO to new iPad, the help of DVD ripping software is necessary. Here i take PavtubeDVD Ripper as an example. It equiped with Nvidia CUDA and ATI Stream acceleration technology, supply us fast speed, and then save us much time. Below is a simple guide.
1. Install this DVD ISO to iPad Air, iPad 3/4 converter on your computer, import your DVD ISO files into this program.
2. Click on "Format" box, a list will appear, you can easily find the "iPad" category, there are some iPad Air/iPad 3/4 presets, as follows, just choose the one you like.
3. Start the conversion by clicking on the "Convert" button on the interface of this iPad 3 DVD ISO converter.
As you see, just 3 steps, you will make it, compared to selecting players, this solution can really save a lot of time and effort. After the conversion is finished, transfer the result video to new iPad via iTunes, then you canview DVD ISO movies on new iPad 3 freely.

The mother of all feuds
The long-running and often brutal battle over who controls the Hancock family fortune is coming to a head.
It was a conversation John Hancock will never forget. He'd just turned 16 and was studying at the prestigious Phillips Academy in Andover, Boston, when an urgent call came through to drop everything and fly back from the US to Perth, as his grandfather, iron-ore magnate Lang Hancock, wanted to see him.
It was a cold and blustery day in the spring of 1992 when Hancock flew out of Boston to begin the 32-hour trip he'd made numerous times before, first to pass tests and interviews, then to attend the school whose roll call of illustrious alumni include actor Humphrey Bogart and presidents George Bush senior and junior. However, never before had he been summonsed home by his grandfather.
Years earlier, in 1985, Hancock's mother, Gina Rinehart, had moved the family to Texas. She did so after a monumental falling out with her father over his controversial marriage to Rose Porteous - and the millions of dollars he lavished on his young wife in the form of a jet, cars, parties, travel, glitzy jewellery and the palatial Prix d'Amour mansion in Perth's Mosman Park that had been modelled on Gone With The Wind's Tara.
Arriving in Perth, Hancock was shocked by the shrunken appearance of the man he saw lying in bed. "He looked much weaker than I'd ever seen him," he says of his then 82-year-old grandfather, who was battling kidney, heart and lung complications. "He'd lost a lot of weight. He took my hand and said, 'You've got to be strong as you will need to run everything one day.'
"He noted my Phillips Varsity Swimming jacket and I said I was thinking of adding my nickname, JR [John Rinehart], to the sleeve and he suggested 'Iron Man' instead. I was chuffed, as I knew he was making a play on the title of a documentary about him, Man of Iron." (The 1966 BBC production had recounted Lang Hancock's discovery in 1952 of the world's biggest iron-ore deposit in the desolate Pilbara region in the north of Western Australia.)
It was a seminal moment for John Hancock. His grandfather's words reinforced his boyhood dream that he would one day run the family empire, Hancock Prospecting, the iron-ore business founded by Lang and which is today managed by his famous daughter, Gina Rinehart.
Just a few hours later, Lang was dead - of multiple organ failure. Hancock remembers waking up the next morning in a guesthouse at Prix d'Amour amid a commotion caused by police and sniffer dogs swarming all over the house, after an anonymous tip that Lang had been murdered. Almost a decade later, an inquest was called after a witness came forward saying he had overheard a conversation that a hit man had been hired to kill Lang.
The magnate was no more, yet the bitter controversies and litigation that had dogged his final years would continue, incredibly, for another three decades. They will culminate in a legal showdown between Gina Rinehart on one side, and on the other, Bianca Rinehart, the first of her three daughters, and John Hancock, her eldest child and only son, on October 1.
A dying man's vision for Hancock Prospecting remains Hancock's driving force in the current legal battle over the family trust. "From the start I've said we are doing this to carry out the intentions of my grandfather, and for fairness to everyone," he tells me.
The current action was launched on September 5, 2011, by Rinehart's third child, Hope Welker, now 28, over the multi-billion-dollar Hope Margaret Hancock Trust that Rinehart has been running on behalf of her four children since 1992. A few days later, Hope's two older half-siblings, Hancock, now 37, and Bianca Rinehart, 36, joined the action to have their mother removed as trustee, claiming "deceptive, manipulative and disgraceful conduct" in relation to her management of the trust.
Twenty-seven-year-old Ginia Rinehart, Rinehart's youngest daughter and the child who is said to most resemble her mother, chose not to join her siblings in the action. Earlier this year, Hope withdrew due to financial pressures and a marriage breakdown, leaving John and Bianca as plaintiffs.
The trust, which owns almost 25 per cent of Hancock Prospecting, was set up in 1988 by Lang Hancock for the benefit of Rinehart's four children to pay for their "education, advancement and benefit". Once Ginia turned 25, on September 6, 2011, it stated, it would vest, giving each of them financial independence.
We want to see our grandfather's wishes honoured. Lang Hancock did not want Gina to have everything or for her to dictate our lives.
The stakes are high. The trust is worth at least $5 billion, based on BRW magazine estimates, which would make each of the children billionaires in their own right. But the reality is they've had little access to their inheritance since Rinehart took over from Lang as trustee when the children were minors. Put simply, it has been a case of "Mother knows best". John and Bianca allege that she is purposely keeping them in the dark about what is going on in the business to keep them under her thumb.
Their key claim revolves around Rinehart's decision as trustee to demand the voting rights to the children's shares in return for extending the vesting date of the trust from September 6, 2011, to 2068 - when they will be in their dotage - otherwise they'd be bankrupted by a massive capital gains tax bill. She informed them in a letter they had three days to agree to the plan. Less than a year later, John Hancock obtained a ruling from the Australian Tax Office that said there would be no capital gains tax on vesting. This means no bankruptcy threat.
More significantly still, it was also Lang's intention, stated just before he died, that John and Bianca control the lucrative Hope Downs tenements, which currently generate about $1 billion a year, through the family trust. After his death, these tenements were transferred to Hancock Prospecting, which is majority owned by Rinehart. ("Tenement" refers to the pegging of land to make a legal claim on it with the purpose of exploring and building a mine. Hope Downs was the name given to a piece of the Pilbara that was pegged by Lang Hancock and is the jewel in the company crown.)
Asked what outcome he wants to see from the impending trial, Hancock says unequivocally: "We want to see our grandfather's wishes honoured. He did not want Gina to have everything or for her to dictate our lives. My grandfather would be greatly troubled. He did not want his discoveries and life's work to be a source of problems, but rather a great start and foundation for us, his grandchildren, in the way his work supported my mother in her early years. He was generous and gave her a third of his company shortly after she was born - it was always the family company. He'd be furious Hancock Prospecting staff have involved themselves with these matters, and so am I, quite frankly."
For her part, Rinehart believes her warring children are "manifestly unsuited" to running the trust. Documents filed in the court state that none of the plaintiffs has "the requisite capacity or skill or the knowledge, experience, judgement or responsible work ethic" to manage it. "Given the media attention, attacks on the rich by the Treasurer, the impending breach of Australia's loan covenants and need for extra revenue, it is also now time to bring this dispute privately under arbitration," she wrote soon after the legal action began.
Hancock remains unfazed by this latest battle with his mother, a woman whom veteran lawyer Nick Styant-Browne describes as "an indefatigable litigant with almost limitless resources" and "one of the most experienced litigators in Australian legal history".
Alan Camp, who as a young law student was taken under Lang Hancock's wing and who has known the family for more than 40 years, describes John as a battler, too. "He will fight for what his grandfather wanted," he says. "He has no choice. He is fighting for his family. His own and his mother's."
The stoush has captured the imagination of the world as Rinehart, one of the richest women on the planet, takes on two of her four children. Rinehart holds just over 75 per cent of Hancock Prospecting, which puts her in an all-powerful position when it comes to controlling the family's purse strings. Since she began managing the trust, the family fortune has ballooned from tens of millions of dollars, according to BRW, to an estimated value of $22 billion.
Beyond money, however, the fight is about power, control and an absolute breakdown of trust between the family members. Nick Styant-Browne, who opposed Rinehart in an action she brought against her stepmother, says she wants "control of her father's estate, control of the trusts which her father established, even control of the media. Her recent foray into Fairfax Media [publisher of Good Weekend] reflects her desire to take a more proactive media position."
Mark C. Williams, professor of applied positive psychology at Shenzhen University in China, has been following the case for the past two years and questions Rinehart's motivations. "She could be just wanting to maintain total control," he says. "Or she could be testing the mettle of her children - their mental and emotional strengths, in an almost Darwinian way - to determine the outcome of what one hopes might be a succession plan. Might a better approach be to encourage their unique strengths in independent spheres of influence, and thus find positive outlet for their energies?"
Three of Rinehart's children have already made her a grandmother. Hancock has two young daughters, who are 4 and 6, with Gemma, who has been by his side for 12 years. Bianca has a three-year-old son with her partner, the Moscow-born Sasha Serebryakov, while Hope, now separated from her American husband, Ryan Welker, also has two young daughters, who are 5 and 8. Ginia is engaged to Ryan Johnston, the son of one-time Beach Boy Bruce Johnston.
Greg Milton, the Englishman who was married to Rinehart for eight years from 1973 to 1981 and is the father of John and Bianca, sees the case as a fight being undertaken by an organisation that "appears to be continuing a vendetta against [his] children for no valid reason except [their] mother may have something personal against me or want roles and privileges for her second set of children [Hope and Ginia, fathered by Frank Rinehart] to the detriment [of John and Bianca]. It's amazing John can withstand that sort of pressure."
When Milton and Rinehart divorced in 1981, he received a $60,000 settlement and agreed he wouldn't see John and Bianca, who were 4 and 5 at the time, until they were adults. He now lives in Indonesia and, until now, has been reluctant to comment publicly on his ex-wife. "I am personally disgusted that my children are now having to fight the Office Machine [a term he uses to describe the entourage of lawyers and accountants who do Rinehart's bidding], as I had to, to receive what Lang intended them to have as a matter of course."
Hancock declines to comment on the motivations of his mother, except to say that he remembers her, as a young mother in her 20s, as caring, happy and elegant. "Bianca and I have great memories of our three-person family in the Pilbara and other travels together," he says. "But she changed after she married Frank."
His reluctance to say too much is partly driven by a deed his mother asked him to sign in 2007, known as the Hope Downs Deed, that prevents him and his siblings from saying anything publicly that might embarrass their mother. Indeed, Rinehart's insistence on privacy runs so deep that she spent months in court fighting to keep the details of the current case suppressed. Her argument was rejected and when the suppression order was finally lifted on March 9, 2012, journalists had a field day pouring over the contents of personal emails that had been exchanged between various members of this warring clan.
What became all too apparent is that money really can't buy happiness. Nor should it be used to turn the courts into a personal playground, provided at the public's expense, argued Jim McGinty, who was appointed West Australian Attorney-General in 2002, just 10 weeks before the verdict was delivered at the inquest into Lang Hancock's death. At the time, McGinty expressed sadness at the way the law had been misused in a personal squabble between Porteous and Rinehart, thereby squandering valuable resources and holding up other inquests.
The inquest, sought by Rinehart to investigate Lang's death because she didn't believe he'd died of natural causes, quickly degenerated into a circus. In the end, though, the coroner found that the old man had died of natural causes, which were consistent with the findings of the original autopsy.
The October 1 trial won't be as colourful as the inquest, but it promises to be a bloody affair. In one corner is heavyweight Rinehart, backed by a retinue of expensive lawyers and limitless cash; in the other, John and Bianca, now forced to rely on the skill of one lawyer after being cut off from family money.
And Rinehart learnt from the best. Her second husband, Frank Rinehart, was 37 years her senior and a man her father couldn't stand when she married him in 1983. He was also a ruthless American corporate lawyer who'd been convicted of tax fraud, a fact she successfully kept hidden from her children until the publication, last year, of Gina Rinehart: The Untold Story Of The Richest Woman In The World, by this author.
Lang, noting the changes he saw taking place in his daughter after her second marriage, famously remarked in a letter to her: "At least allow me to remember you as the neat, trim, capable and attractive young lady of the 'Wake Up Australia' tour [when she was married to Greg Milton], rather than the slothful, vindictive and devious baby elephant that you have become. I am glad your mother cannot see you now."
After Lang's death, Rinehart took aim at Porteous in an attempt to seize back more than $30 million-worth of assets, including the Prix d'Amour mansion, alleging the gifts had been paid for with family money.
After more than a decade of litigation, matters were settled in 2003, with Porteous retaining many of the gifts lavished on her by Lang. Now 65, she lives in Perth as a beauty therapist, according to online magazine, The Starfish.
A woman of seeming inexhaustible appetite for battle, Rinehart has also taken on the family of her father's business partner, Peter Wright, and other mining companies, including BHP and Rio Tinto.
When Frank died intestate in March 1990, Rinehart discovered he'd had a long-term mistress during his four-decades-long marriage to his first wife, Elizabeth Campbell, with whom he had three sons. It seemed that when he wasn't living with Elizabeth and the boys in Massachusetts, he shared a spacious Fifth Avenue apartment in New York with Lorraine Boyce and her children. Boyce was in her 70s when she learnt in a letter that Rinehart wanted the apartment she'd been living in for the past 26 years. She spent more than eight years entangled in legal action with her dead lover's second wife until she died in 2001. The case was settled, but the details aren't known.
Rinehart's latest stoush with her children is her most personal cause to date. To outsiders, the action came as a shock; to those in the know, it seemed almost overdue. To understand the depth of the family division requires a step or two back in time to a point where the relationship between the four children was forged by the impact that their different fathers had on their upbringing.
For some onlookers, the different paternities of the two sets of children is key to understanding the twists and turns of the family saga. Rinehart placed Frank, the hot-shot lawyer and Harvard graduate, on a pedestal throughout their short, but dedicated marriage; Greg Milton, on the other hand, she came to think of as a mistake of her youth and she couldn't airbrush him from her memory fast enough.
John Hancock himself asserts that because of the perceived "genetic superiority" of Hope and Ginia, they have always been treated better by their mother than himself and Bianca. He believes that because he didn't graduate from Harvard Law School like his stepfather (he did an MBA at Notre Dame University), his mother views him as somehow unworthy. "Ginia didn't graduate from Harvard, either," he says, "but the girls, especially Frank's, are treated differently."
The children were brought up in an atmosphere of swirling aggression. First, there was the protracted fighting between their mother and their grandfather after he married Porteous; then litigation between their mother and Boyce; and, finally, more bitter litigation between Rinehart and Porteous. They lived with constant reminders that their wealth had made them a target.
It was a conspiratorial world, according to Michael Yabsley, a former consultant to Hancock Prospecting who has known Rinehart since she was a teenager. "Conspiracies, paranoia - these are very significant parts of her life," he says. "There's a total lack of trust, which I think is evidenced by her staff turnover."
In a rare interview given last October, Bianca told Vogue that she lived in fear as a little girl of being kidnapped: "With tour buses stopping in the front of your house ... it does make you feel exposed. I was concerned at times - I actually used to sleep with a hammer under my mattress."
Frank's treatment of the children varied according to their gender. "What today would be considered physical and emotional abuse, 60 years ago was considered a 'toughening-up' process for boys," says Hancock now.
"When [Frank] got angry, it built like a steam engine gaining pressure," he revealed in his mother's biography. "You could see it: a vein on the side of his neck would pump. The eyes were the most scary. He was a strong man in his time and even then. I saw him stand up to men half his age without an ounce of fear several times - with cause or without - usually with my mum in the background saying, 'Oh Frank, please don't'. "
A relative of Frank's, speaking anonymously, tells me how he destroyed the lives of two of his three sons from his first marriage. The eldest son became estranged from the family in the '70s, while the youngest died of cirrhosis of the liver at 29. "Frank was a bully," he says. "If your view of the world was not like his, you were wrong and he beat you to a pulp - verbally most of the time ... In some cases, it actually became physical. He had this picture of what his family should look like and would not accept another scenario. He had a need to stand out, to be noticed, to be in charge."
In the biography, Hancock recalls a shocking incident when he was 12. The family was in the middle of a three-day road trip from Perth to Broome when, John, bored, started to misbehave. Rinehart pulled over and asked Frank to discipline him. "So he opened the rear window to the Range Rover, cocked his fist and punched me in the head," says Hancock. "I had neither the room nor the time to do anything. Blood flowed from my lip. He let me out of the car and took me to the petrol station toilets and cleaned me up. I refused to give him the satisfaction of crying, but it was pretty shocking; it all happened so quickly. As we left the highway, I saw a police car. I was so tempted to make a run for it."
Each of the siblings has, at some stage, watched the others be handpicked for succession by their mother, only to be discarded. In 1997, Hancock was appointed director of Hancock Prospecting and represented the company at conferences in Asia and Europe; he worked in iron-ore mines and steel works in South Africa. But, in 2003, when his mother settled with Porteous, he was no longer required in the business. (A disagreement between mother and son about their lawyers was enough for her to stop his salary.) He quietly changed his name from Rinehart to Hancock and challenged her role as trustee of the family trust.
In May 2004, his lawyers wrote to Rinehart saying, "There has been a failure on your part to distinguish between the interests of the various entities you control and the interests of the trust." The letter revealed that "mining interests had been transferred out of the trust". In another letter, he says he believed his grandfather intended for the family trust to hold 49 per cent of Hancock Prospecting as well as "certain mining interests". The four children today hold less than 25 per cent of Hancock Prospecting through the trust, due to a debt reconstruction undertaken in 1995 after Lang died.
When John failed to gain financial support from the trust, he withdrew from the legal action in 2007, agreeing to "forever abandon" his allegations and, in return for a salary and his reappointment to the executive committee (until then, he had received nothing from the trust since the falling out with his mother, while his sisters continued to receive trust payments), forgo any legal claims against his mother, Hancock Prospecting and the trust. (The High Court has ruled that the current action lies outside the deed.) He signed the Hope Downs Deed and waited for September 6, 2011, the day when the trust would vest and he would finally be granted his freedom - or so he thought.
Bianca has also been sidelined. In 2004, at the age of 27, she became a secretary and government relations adviser in the company after completing a hospitality/hotel management degree in Adelaide. By June 2008, though, she had resigned from several company boards and withdrawn from full-time employment, citing personal reasons. Friends say she wasn't being given sufficient responsibility and didn't have enough work to do.
Having already alienated John, Rinehart had now ostracised her eldest daughter, too. Where Lang had devolved power and responsibility upon Rinehart before their falling out, she clearly was incapable of doing the same.
Hope's husband, Ryan Welker, a consultant for Hancock Prospecting in Sydney, was the next to spin the wheel of succession. Hope, who never had any ambitions to enter the family business, had married the former model in 2005 when she was just 19. But Welker also ran into difficulties working with his mother-in-law and when he advised Hope she should challenge her mother over the family trust in September 2011, his journey at Hancock Prospecting came to an abrupt end.
Whether by accident or design, Ginia, the youngest, is now the anointed one. She is most like Rinehart in her ways and was always her mother's favourite and the most indulged. Like Hope, she enjoyed a privileged childhood, spending most of it overseas at one of the best schools money can buy, Le Rosey in Switzerland, and holidaying in the Mediterranean with helicopters on tap.
Until recently, she showed little interest in the iron-ore business. She completed a degree in business, majoring in Spanish, in London in 2010 and took a job at Fabergé. People who know Ginia say she's more at home sitting in the front row of fashion parades than spending time in the Pilbara, but after the legal action began, pictures began to appear of her dangling the key to a $1.2 million Rolls-Royce Phantom from her finger.
The release of personal emails after the lifting of the suppression order in March last year - including ones from Hope to her mother, written in July 2011, asking for funds to hire a chef, bodyguard and housekeeper - didn't paint a flattering picture. A press release, issued by Ginia within minutes of the emails' release, decrying the legal action of her siblings as "motivated by greed", didn't help.
But Hancock insists the emails were taken out of context. Rinehart wanted Hope to leave New York, where Welker was trying to secure mining consulting work, and move to Singapore. "Hope didn't want to go to Singapore," he explains, "because she was trying to build a new life for herself in the US. She knew GHR [Gina Hope Rinehart] wouldn't provide funds for these things, which gave her the excuse she was looking for not to go. The only person in our family who enjoyed that kind of lifestyle was our mother."
Sitting at Italian restaurant Il Lido in Perth's beachside suburb of Cottesloe, eating lunch with Gemma and a few friends, Hancock seems to be in complete control. In less than a month from now, though, he will take the stand in the NSW Supreme Court and face what promises to be a serious grilling by his mother's lawyers - unless the pair can reach a settlement.
Lawyer Alan Camp, who knows the clan well, says Hancock is very much like his grandfather in temperament and engaging sense of humour. "In the end, when all this litigation is over, John will put it all behind him and work out and reconcile his relationship with his mother," he says. "That's the man he is.
"He only wants to work with his mother. He shares his grandfather's vision of a successful family company and a better Australia. He doesn't want a nightmare. He is a strong and emotionally mature young man. He sees no future in disharmony, as I'm sure Gina doesn't, either."
Legal experts point out that, in cases of family feuds like this one, settlements are often brokered at the doors of the court. Rinehart has said she's open to the idea, but the sticking point will be the terms of agreement.
"It will soon become evident if the bond that exists between all members of the Hancock family can overcome this generational turmoil," says Professor Mark C. Williams. "I see a lot of love, despite the exterior appearance of brutality. But maybe I'm wrong."
Whatever the case, John Hancock is ready for the fight. He says that once he received the September 3, 2011, letter from his mother asking the children to extend the trust or they could face bankruptcy, he offered to stay out of everything for $25 million. "Then Bianca called me and asked for my support in the legal action Hope wanted to commence in Sydney. I asked if all the siblings, including Ginia, were on board and the answer was yes," he says. (Ginia had originally said she would join the action, but backed out after talking to her mother about the threat of bankruptcy.)
At the time, Hancock was a member of the executive committee of Hancock Prospecting, a role he'd been given in 2007 after reaching the truce with his mother. He'd also started discussions with Hancock Prospecting's chief financial officer, Jay Newby, about setting up an independent investment vehicle, financed by the company, and run by him.
But, in the end, he decided to back the girls. "I smelt a rat," he says when he received a letter from Newby on the eve of the trust vesting. "I did not believe Jay and I argued with him about the supposed capital gains tax bill for the next few days. It was high stakes for me, but I'd been in situations like this before with them [senior executives who work for Hancock Prospecting]. I called their bluff and didn't sign."
The decision to launch a legal action against Rinehart wasn't taken lightly by the siblings. Bianca was forced to sell her house, Hope to liquidate assets, including selling clothes on eBay, while John had to manage a demanding job in Perth as CEO of building products company FBM while simultaneously organising funding to bankroll the case.
"I brought a consortium of friends and business colleagues together - some interest-free - and raised $1 million with a 50 per cent per annum rate [the source of the loan funds is confidential]," says John. "My intention from the start was to let the girls run the show. I'd already done several rounds with my mother in 2005."
In January, Hope, the mother of two young children with a broken marriage behind her, withdrew from the lawsuit in return for a settlement. In an email to Ginia, sent on November 22, 2011, she said, "I'm in a corner [with] a gun at my head. I can't afford rent, I can't afford the kids' education, I don't know what else to do or who else to ask. Please help."
Ginia's response was as follows: ''I actually didn't think it was possible for you to stoop any lower, but voila you proved me wrong again. Not that you deserve a penny as you have never worked a day in your life but, if you cannot live with 300 million dollars for doing absolutely nothing, then you really are disgusting. Stop being such a shit parent to the most awesome little girls, her and I [sic] both deserve better from you! SHAPE UP!"
Whether Hope received a $300 million settlement is anybody's guess. Her brother believes she's unlikely to be receiving much more than basic living expenses and little or nothing upfront. Meanwhile, the relationship between the two younger sisters remains strained. Hope visited her mother over Easter and sailed around Perth, but got off the yacht as Ginia boarded it.
Meanwhile, Rinehart's lawyers are pitching the coming court case as mother versus son. "He [John] may be in the evidence box for some time," says one, suggesting "with some certainty" that Rinehart will, ultimately, be the victor. Her defence, he adds, will comprise evidence that is "extensive" and "not very pleasant".
Twenty-one years after Lang Hancock told his 16-year-old grandson to prepare to take the helm of the family company, John Hancock is undeterred by the fight ahead, his eyes still firmly on the prize.
"I won't give up and my mother should know that even the five top QCs she has ready to cross-examine me at a seven-day trial will be a walk in the park compared to an intense hour with Frank," he says. "My hope is my mother is just doing this to apply the blowtorch and see what my melting point is."
Stay tuned.

But I never dream about horse racing, never, needing at least a good night's sleep to freshen up for the next day--but not so past midnight as Christmas Eve was about to turn into Christmas morning.
I dreamt about a horse, specifically a 3-year-old filly that just happens to be running in Wednesday's Grade 1 La Brea Stakes on opening day at Santa Anita: the 2011 juvenile filly champion, My Miss Aurelia.
Now I have no special allegiance to the 4-5 early line La Brea favorite, nor to its connections, only admiring her accomplishments from afar, but with a great deal of admiration .
My dream, however, did not take place at a track based at the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains, the best backdrop in Thoroughbred racing. It was more like the Blue Mountains of Pennsylvania, where the race takes place in the mind's eye.
The race I was watching My Miss Aurelia win definitely was run in the Keystone State, although I can't be sure whether it was at Penn National, at the foothills of the Blue Mountain range, or at Parx, in the shadow of the Liberty Bell.
How that can be I can't explain, and that's not even where the weirdness ends.
I was watching the race with Corey Nakatani, which is strange for two reasons. West Coast-based throughout much of his career, I don't really have a relationship with him, post-race interviews notwithstanding, not like I do with a few of the New York-based riders.
Of greater import to the connections, it would mean that My Miss Aurelia had a change of riders, since Nakatani is the filly's regular partner, and I cannot identify her faceless rider in this mythical event.
There's a third thing, too: The race I was watching was a two-turner, not the seven-eighths sprint distance of the La Brea. I believe that likely two-time champion Royal Delta was in the field—either that or because it was Royal Delta that soiled the filly's undefeated record in the Ladies Classic.
Anyway, the dream picks up the horses at about the five-furlong pole, and My Miss Aurelia is stalking extremely fast fractions from the middle of the track. It was the kind of trip that often get you beat on one-mile tracks--hung out to dry chasing a fast pace.
The three leaders continued that way to the five-sixteenths pole, where My Miss Aurelia surged up alongside, reaching even turns with the filly closest to the rail soon after straightening away into the stretch.
At that point, where you might expect the "best horse" to grind her way to the front and slowly draw away, she showed a turn of foot that I never before had seen among the tens of thousands of races I've watched in my lifetime.
Within a matter of two or three strides, she opened up a five or six-length advantage before reaching midstretch. She continued to draw out, winning by almost a sixteenth of a mile.
Reiterating, it was the most impressive performance I ever saw. Only after I awakened did I recall the 1973 Belmont Stakes. But Secretariat was "merely" powerful; My Miss Aurelia was gliding over the ground, almost flying.
I caught up with Johnny Velazquez and Angel Cordero Jr. walking back to the jock's room, or racing office, or someplace after the race. I asked Angel if he ever saw anything like that before.
"Didn't you ever see horses win before?" was the somewhat snarky reply, which of itself is very un-like the personable Hall of Famer.
My sense was that Johnny was aboard one of My Miss Aurelia's rivals. He talked about when he first realized he was about to lose the race, how everybody knows what a good filly the champ is.
What all this has to do with tomorrow's La Brea I don't know, except for some reason I have been thinking more about Santa Anita's opening this year than I have in season's past.
Maybe it's because a proposed new wager, the Score 64, was the subject of the most recent Morning Line blog in which new wagering initiatives for the Santa Anita opener was discussed.
In hindsight, I don't understand any more about the dream than when I jumped up at 6 AM and quickly wrote the events down before I had forgotten the details, such as they are/were.
Perhaps it's because Christmas was a little distant this year, less enjoyable in the wake of Newtown. Or maybe I've never dreamed about racing before because there never was such a need to escape the new normal of everyday events.

February's Best: Soundcloud submissions *McWorm, NovA, SlusiveMarch 4th, 2011 by Siegz | Alternative/Indie, Dance, Hip-Hop/Rap, Remix, Rock, Soundcloud's Best |
This post is the best submissions we got in the month of February. I already got a few good submissions from March and before I forget, it's time to give my top 3 February soundcloud submissions a shout out.
First is McWorm aka Cisco Robinson who has the most interesting story. In 2007 he was working for Barack Obama and got a job in the White House when Obama got elected President. Becoming one of the youngest White House employees at age 22, he wanted to pursue one of his other dreams. Two years later at 24, he decided he wanted to pursue a music career.
Below is my favorite original track from Cisco Robinson's band, The McWorms, called "Keep The Peace". It's got some Obama speech samples which is cool and overall has an chill alternative rock feel with a side order of hip-hop. Want more McWorm, follow him on facebook.
NovA is a Philadelphia based hip-hop artist. He released his debut album, "The New Black" in early February and his manager sent me his single, "All My Love". I really like the laid back instrumentals, the rapping stands out and is solid. Like NovA, follow him on facebook.
Slusive sent us the best remix submission we have ever gotten on soundcloud. The London-based artist adds some nice beats to "Coming Home" by Diddy Dirty Money turning it into more of a dance track. Check out more Slusive music on soundcloud
Read more to listen and download a few other soundcloud submissions that I felt are honorable mentions in the post. (more…)

It was pointed out to Mrs. Nelson that tfae township was not paying any additional salary for the deputy assessw. Mrs. Nelson said that she had heard that the reason for hiring Mr. Boncosky's wife was that he wias over 65 and colecting Social Security and could only coUect a certain salai-y.

P.T.A. Cookie & Candy Ssie The P.T.A. Cookie and Candy Sales held following the two sch¬ ool Christmas progrrams were very successful. At present, the profits total over $250.00. However, more donations are due and we hope to have the final figure next week. The F.T.A. has voted to use this money to buy books for the school library. We wish to thank the parents and teachers for their donations, the mothers who helped sort and wrap them, and, of course, all of you who purchased the "goodies." Carol Wirick Boots Parasek Committee Huntley School Vacation Dates Huntley high and elementary schools were dismissed for the holidays on Wednesday of this week. They will resume on Tues¬ day, January 2, 1968, instead of on Wednesday, as previously an¬ nounced. The reason for the change in the date of reconvening school classes is that after the original calandar was made, Columbus Day was made a legal holiday in Illinois. Thus one more school day is re¬ quired to compensate for that hol¬ iday. Huntley Host To District B.S.A.

Fear Itself: Youth in Revolt #1
as selected by SilverPhoenix

The Story: (hide) FEAR ITSELF TIE-IN! With a growing sense of uncertainty and despair gripping the nation--and the world--the remnants of the Initiative program are sworn in as federal agents charged with keeping the peace. Their ensuing actions, however, threaten to plunge America's young heroes into civil war! Featuring AVENGERS: THE INITIATIVE stars THOR GIRL, ULTRAGIRL, CLOUD 9, KOMDO and HARDBALL--plus FIRESTAR, GRAVITY and some very cool surprises--YOUTH IN REVOLT brings the horror of FEAR ITSELF to the doorstep of a generation!
Doombug has next week's pick.
If you would like to join the group, it's easy. Just post a review and I'll add you to the member's list. As long as you stay active, eventually it will be your turn to make a pick.
With $4 comics becoming the norm, the economy being what it is and the growing popularity of mail order services the Review Group recognizes that it's becoming harder and harder to commit to participating each and every week. As long as you can post one review per calendar month you will stay in the member's list. It doesn't matter if you post your review the week of it's release or if you post it later. There is no such thing as a "late" review.
The only request I make is that if you don't plan on posting a review or if you're going to be posting late is that you drop a note in the thread so that I can keep track of who is active and who isn't. The Spreadsheet of Doom is thorough, but it can't read your mind.
Comics are to be scored on a scale from 1-10. 1 being suck, 10 being a damn good comic. Beyond that, there's no right or wrong.
If it's your week, you must announce your selection by 5pm EST the day Diamond releases it's shipping list. If you do not announce your pick at that time, I will add a poll to the thread that will remain open until 12pm EST so that the group can make the selection for that week. (If you're seriously MIA, I'll probably put the poll up sooner) To ensure that you know it's your week, I will PM you when Midtown's list goes live on Thursdays. Also you'd better keep in mind the Amber Atoms rule, if your pick isn't reviewed by 2 or more people you will be exiled from the Group for 1 year. Our definition of a single issue comic is limited to comics listed at $3.99 or lower, anything above that is off limits. Also, to prevent utter filth being chosen deliberately, the Weird Worlds Rule has also gone into affect. Any book scoring a new all-time low (2.12 as of today) will not count as a miss if people wisely choose not to purchase it. Any poor soul who did review the book will earn a free pass on a book of their choice.

by BlueStreak » Wed May 11, 2011 7:50 amI'm going to try to do something this week to try to stem the epic "BlueStreak doesn't have enough time to post front page articles" problem.
Namely, a "live" front page article that will be updated when reviews come in.

The last issue of Uncanny X-Force was better than gastric bypass surgery, sure. Barely.

You didn't like the counterpoint to Fear Itself #2?
by Garofani Spruzzo » Wed May 11, 2011 3:01 pm
There was what now?
by BlueStreak » Wed May 11, 2011 3:03 pm
My personal belief is that last week's Uncanny X-Force was released in an attempt to show that Marvel still believes in killing Nazis, as Fear Itself featured lots of live Nazis, but not a single dead one.
by Garofani Spruzzo » Wed May 11, 2011 3:08 pm
Plus they are afraid to show Nazis in Captain America.
Fear Itself #2 must've REALLY sucked because I read it and erased the entire experience from memory. Much like I'd like to do with the entire former portion of today actually.

Did Nazis blitzkreig your store?

No some girl ordered an "everything" bagel then freaked the fuck out saying she was allergic to sunflower seeds and ran out crying while various White Knights ran after her to no avail.
Seems to me if you have food allergies you should 1) wear a T-shirt that says that, since apparently I'm supposed to magically know this otherwise, or 2) order the plain bagel, not the one designated by name and appearance to have "everything" all over it.

For some reason, the mental image of a bunch of hipster boys stumbling over each other to run after some girl in leggings made me laugh.

Atlanta, GA – Dr. Alveda King, niece of Martin Luther King, Jr. and fulltime Director of African-American Outreach for Priests for Life, the largest pro-life ministry in the Catholic Church, has announced that on July 24 she will lead the first Pro-life Freedom Ride. The ride will take place from Birmingham, AL to Atlanta, GA.
Details of events to occur in Birmingham on the evening of the 23rd and the morning of the 24th, as well as of the service to take place at Martin Luther King, Jr.'s tomb in Atlanta on the 24th, are on the website http://www.prolifefreedomrides.com/.
Pro-life people are welcome to caravan in their own vehicles behind the Freedom Ride bus, which will depart Birmingham midday on the 24th and arrive in Atlanta in the late afternoon.
Just as important as the specific events in Birmingham and Atlanta, however, are the simultaneous activities that pro-life people are urged to carry out in their own communities on that weekend and beyond. Such activities have begun with the Prayer Campaign that was launched on Pentecost Sunday, May 23, and continued until Independence Day, July 4.
"The theme of the pro-life movement is, indeed, freedom," Dr. King stated. "How can one be free if one is not alive? How can any movement call for equal rights if the most fundamental right, life, is not secured equally? That's why we are calling people from across the religious, ethnic, and political spectrum to ride with us for freedom for all, including the unborn."
Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, added, "The Freedom Rides call people across America to activities that free people from ignorance about abortion, that free moms and dads from the despair that leads to abortion, that free those who have had abortions from the burden of guilt and shame, that free our nation from unjust laws, and that free our unborn brothers and sisters from the violence of abortion."
See details at http://www.prolifefreedomrides.com/.
Priests for Life is the nation's largest Catholic pro-life organization dedicated to ending abortion and euthanasia. For more information, visit www.priestsforlife.org.

It now seems that Moses baskets are the latest item to benefit from the 'Kate Effect', as retailers across the country have seen a sudden surge in sales since The Duchess of Cambridge was pictured buying one with her mother, Carole, last week.
The pictures, which appeared exclusively in Hello magazine first, showed the Duchess on a shopping spree with her mum, as they stocked up on baby goodies, the pair were spotted leaving a baby boutique with a moses baskets.
The future Queen was spotted out with her supportive mum as they visited Blue Almonds, an exclusive baby boutique in South Kensington. After an hour, searching for baby goodies, the pair left with Carole holding a white moses baskets.
Now mums-to-be are racing out to buy their own, Supermarket giant Asda reported a 57 per cent increase in online sales of the baby product since last week, and they have also predicted the sale of blue buggies will also see a sudden surge in sales after it was reported the Duke and Duchess have purchased for their first child.
"Shoppers across the UK want to offer their little ones the Royal treatment and the blue buggy reports look set to send the nation into a princely state of excitement ahead of its birth this summertime," said Asda Baby and toddler club manager Claire Smith.
The 'Kate Effect' has been credited with bringing in over a billion pounds to the British fashion industry, along with fashion, the Scout organisation has also received the golden touch as more adults than ever have reportedly signed up since Kate signed up as a volunteer last year.

English referee Wayne Bridges left the Aviva Stadium with boos ringing in his ears after a dramatic final minute turnaround in the opening RBS Six Nations game of the season on Sunday gave Wales a 23 to 21 win over Ireland.
Ireland's Grand Slam ambitions and Triple Crown hopes evaporated in the closing seconds of this Celtic derby, with Bridges the villain as far as the home crowd were concerned.
The match official drew the ire of the majority of the 50,000 supporters present when he penalized Stephen Ferris for a spear tackle challenge on Welsh lock Ian Evans.
Things went from bad to worse when Ferris was sin-binned and Leigh Halfpenny sent the resultant penalty over the crossbar to seal the two win point for the Welsh.
Bridges was roundly booed for the decision to yellow card Ferris, but he had sent Welshman Bradley Davies to the bin for an earlier spear tackle incident with substitute Donnacha Ryan.
Davies could now face further punishment for his offense, while Ireland fans are still livid that Ferris was penalized and Wales handed the match winning penalty on a plate by Bridges.
Irish number eight Jamie Heaslip refused to blame Barnes for the loss.
"Sometimes these calls go against you," said Heaslip. There's no point in saying, 'Is it a penalty? Isn't it a penalty?' It's done. It's always tough to win a game when a team beats you by three tries to two."
However, while the end result was a repeat of the World Cup win for Wales earlier in the year, in truth few of those present could have had any argument with the outcome.
Ireland did lead 10-5 at the break, after a fine Rory Best try set up by a brilliant pass from Jonathon Sexton, but Declan Kidney's team were never really at the races.
The game did appear to be going their way when Tommy Bowe was sent across the line 12 minutes from time but Wales were always the better side.
They scored three tries on the day to Ireland's two, with youngster George North, scorer of the third and final try, a contender for man of the match.
Jonathan Davies also crossed the Irish line twice as Wales made a mockery of their injury crisis and sent out a Championship message of their own when they took advantage of that late Ferris error.
Ireland captain Paul O'Connell admitted afterwards, "We gave Wales a lot of ball earlier in the game that we shouldn't have done.
"We put ourselves in a position to win the game but we conceded eight points in the last five minutes. We also conceded a lot of momentum in the first half and gave them a lot of belief.
"We struggled to get into the game in the first half, and you can't give a team that length of time with ball in hand. Defensively, we will have some work to do. We conceded a lot of ground and yardage at times, but when we attacked, we played with intensity."
Kidney added, "We will take a good look at what we can solve ourselves. We gave Wales some easy field position, and they made inroads.
"We had to defend for 60%-plus of the game, and if you do that then you are going to ask for trouble.There are different aspects of the game I know we can improve on.
"They managed to put the ball wide on us, and we need to scan a bit better than we have been doing. We're a lot better than that."
A delighted Wales coach Warren Gatland said, "We were reasonably lucky. I don't think we played as well as we could.
"To come here, be under a bit of pressure and down to 14 men, I think we showed a lot of character.
That's the pleasing thing. The displeasing thing was a lack of discipline which could have cost us on another day. We got out of jail."
Ireland: R. Kearney; Bowe, McFadden, D'Arcy, Trimble; Sexton, Murray; Healy, Best, Ross, O'Callaghan, O'Connell, Ferris, O'Brien, Heaslip. Replacements: Ryan for O'Callaghan (63 mins), O'Gara for Sexton (74 mins), Reddan for Murray (77 mins).

Ferris Trouble
STEPHEN Ferris could be in more trouble after his Aviva Stadium altercation with Wales forward Ian Evans last Sunday.
The big Ulsterman has been cited for the last minute incident that effectively cost Ireland the game.
Welsh lock Bradley Davies has also been cited by the match commissioner for his spear tackle on Irish sub Donnacha Ryan, and both players now face lengthy suspensions if found guilty.
Wales scored the match winning points from the Leigh Halfpenny penalty that followed the Ferris indiscretion.
But Ireland captain Paul O'Connell refused to blame Ferris for the defeat.
"Stephen hasn't said a lot but I wouldn't blame him," said O'Connell after the game on Sunday.
"I was right beside it, and I didn't think there was a problem straightaway, but I haven't seen it on video. I don't think that was the winning and losing of the game.
"I missed a tackle myself for their try. If you leave a game down to one decision and one player you're not operating well as a team."
Wales captain Sam Warburton, sent off in the World Cup semifinal for a spear tackle on Vincent Clerc, defended Ferris. He said, "We know he's not a malicious player.
"He's an aggressive tackler. It's unfortunate because he didn't mean it. I can sympathize with him a bit. But both he and Bradley Davies received yellow cards so at leas there's some consistency there."
Kidney's Hope
IRELAND coach Declan Kidney refuses to give up on the championship despite defeat to Wales last Sunday.
Ireland must beat France in Paris on Saturday night to have any chance of Six Nations glory.
That looks like a long shot after the inadequacies of the Welsh performance while France were well worth their opening day win over Italy.
But Kidney remains optimistic. "Three teams have had their Grand Slams ended this weekend and three teams are still in it," he said.
"That is the nature of it, but there is a championship still to be won. We will take a good look at what we can solve ourselves. There are different aspects of the game I know we can improve on.
"It is just a case now of getting ready for the next match in Paris."
Captain Paul O'Connell believes Ireland can turn things around ahead of Paris on Saturday.
"We have plenty of experience in the group, and we will recover to the best of our ability. We need to be patient and trust our defense," he said.
McFadden Error
FERGUS McFadden has vowed to do better next time out after his call-up as a late replacement for Keith Earls against Wales last Sunday.
McFadden missed a tackle on George North in the build-up to the second Jonathon Davies try for the Welsh and admitted as much afterwards.
"They've got a big back line but I think our backs punch above our weight and I should have made the tackle, it's as simple as that. You miss one-on-one tackles at this level and you get punished," said McFadden.
"We're gutted. After getting knocked out of the World Cup by Wales, it was a bit of a grudge match. For them to win in the way they did, it's horrible."
Earls Back
KEITH Earls has returned to the Ireland camp ahead of Saturday's difficult visit to Paris and the Six Nations encounter with France.
Earls had to withdraw from the team to play Wales last Sunday after his newly born daughter was admitted to hospital in Limerick.
The Munster center, originally picked to replace the injured Brian O'Driscoll, will now come into contention to start against the French when Kidney names his team on Thursday.
France manager Philippe Saint-Andre has made no changes to his 23-man squad.
"There were hesitations on one or two players but we thought we needed to work together and get bearings," Saint-Andre told reporters after France beat Italy 30-12 in their opening game.
"We need to be more precise. We've already turned our sights towards Ireland."

Real-World Review
2014 Infiniti Q50 Hybrid: Real World Review
If you're just looking for a hybrid that'll give you great fuel economy, there's no shortage of models to choose from. But what if you also want serious power and handling? A few years ago, you would have been out of luck, but now you've got the all-new 2014 Infiniti Q50 Hybrid to consider. I just spent a week with the Q50 Hybrid, and I was blown away by its performance. This isn't a tame hybrid with a sprinkling of sport; it's a true sport sedan that just happens to employ an electric motor and some batteries.
I'm usually ready to hand over the keys at the end of the week, but the Q50 Hybrid was the rare test car that I genuinely wanted to keep. Here's what stood out to me as I rolled up the miles.
Authoritative Acceleration
A friend of mine likes to talk about "Have a Nice Day" cars. The definition is simple -- when you plant your right foot, the car lunges forward so powerfully that it's like you're waving "Have a Nice Day" to every driver nearby. There aren't many hybrids in this club, but the Q50 Hybrid is a member in excellent standing. With a remarkable 360 horsepower under the hood, courtesy of a gasoline V6 engine and a 50-kilowatt electric motor, this is one hybrid that can give just about any sedan on the road a run for its money. The acceleration at highway speeds is particularly awesome -- if you floor it at 65, say, you'll be criminal in no time. As an added bonus, the Hybrid's 3.5-liter V6 has none of the high-rpm vibration that plagues the 3.7-liter V6 in other Infiniti products.
Oh, and the rear-drive Q50 Hybrid (all-wheel drive is also available) gets a cool 29 miles per gallon city/36 mpg highway, too, or 28 mpg city/34 mpg hwy in sporty Q50S trim. Not bad at all for a car that sprints to 60 mph in 4.9 seconds.
World-Class Composure
When I talk about a car's composure, I mean the way it responds under a variety of circumstances. Does it inspire confidence in a sudden avoidance maneuver? Does it have that planted, stuck-to-the-pavement feel on the highway? Is its steering reassuringly firm and accurate? Do you feel like you can trust it to behave predictably and decisively, come what may? In the case of the Q50 Hybrid, the answer is "yes" across the board. It actually reminded me of an older BMW M3 in the way it followed my commands, and that's about as high as my praise can get.
Having said that, there's one weird hybrid-related thing to keep in mind. When you lift off the throttle, there's basically no engine braking, so you'll need to use the brake pedal more than in a conventional car -- and when you do, you'll notice some typical hybrid oddness in the pedal feel. But I acclimated to these quirks within a few days, and I'm sure you will, too. Overall, the Q50 Hybrid was a real pleasure to drive, whether I was in the express lane to Palm Springs or making time in the twisty Malibu hills.
Killer Looks
Let's go back for a moment to the original car in this lineage, the G35 sedan. I really liked that car's looks -- especially the slinky coupe -- but I thought they nailed the sedan, too. Then came the second-generation model, the G37, and it immediately left me cold. Clearly the designers were going for a curvier, more evocative shape, but to me it just came out soft and muddled. The strong, crisp character of the original had been lost.
The 2014 Q50 sedan marks the start of the third generation, and this time I think they crushed it. The curves of the second-generation car are still present, but they're taut and muscular now, resulting in a car that looks dynamic from every angle. I got a lot of compliments on the Hybrid in my week on the road, and that never happened in the old G37. Sometimes you've just got to tip your cap to the designers for a job well done, and the new Q50 is a great example. I'll go so far as to say that it's the best-looking sedan under $50,000 -- all illustrious German rivals included.
The Bottom Line
At $53,655, my fully loaded test car wasn't a bad value, but I think you easily could do without the Deluxe Technology package and the Navigation package. Take those out and you're looking at $46,350 plus destination, which is something of a bargain as luxury sedans go. Would I take the 2014 Infiniti Q50 Hybrid over the regular Q50, which is even cheaper? Not sure; I'd have to drive both back-to-back before deciding. But there's no doubt that both models would be at the top of my list for 2014.

I got into Bnto making when I was (mis)Diagnosed with Celiac disease and needed to be on a Gluten free diet for two years. Now (no longer, never was celiac) I still make bento lunches for my husband and I because spending over $20 for us to eat lunch out is just not in the Budget. My Bentos are usually food shoved in a bento box, and not exciting. But im hoping to work on that. Im a housewife and Full time student studying Japanese and Linguistics. I hope to move to Japan one day, love Knitting and Hello Kitty!!
How about you?
Hi, Lauri!
You're a knitter, too? I don't suppose you're on Ravelry? :)
I make lunches from leftovers that sound about the same as yours ("food shoved in a bento box"). I'm looking for inspiration and motivation, too.
Less than a week to wait...
On ravely? Try *addicted* to ravelry!

Hi !
I was wondering... What is Ravelry ?
~~ Ryukei
Ravelry is a website for knitters and crocheters. It is an amazingly addictive site.
I am working on pretty-ing up my "shoved in a bento box" look as well.

Hi Lauri. Interesting that you started making bento because of a celiac misdiagnosis. I seem to hear that a lot. Cooking Cute's owner says she started making bentos because her husband was misdiagnosed also her About page. I wonder how common this is?
(And, I haven't been saying hi back to all the Hi posts because they've already been so many, but...
HI EVERYONE!!! Glad to see you all here! :)

I'm exited about making my first ever bento box! and pleased to see some knitters here as well. I've never heard of ravelry either, going to have a look now...
Hello -- I'm a lapsed knitter (too busy with FT work and PT grad school/TAing), but I'm with you on the "food shoved into a box" thing. I'm hoping to make more attractive bentos during the challenge.
Good luck!
