You can turn that surplus homestead milk—after the calf has been weaned and ole Bossie seems more productive than ever—into nutritious cottage cheese that's rich in proteins, minerals and vitamins and free from harmful additives or preservatives. If your milk comes from the supermarket in cardboard containers, you can perform the same trick in smaller quantities any time of the year. Either way, you'll produce cottage cheese right in your own kitchen with a minimum investment of time, effort and expense . . . and after you've whipped together two or three batches, you'll find it no more trouble than preparing a favorite dessert.
Cottage cheese, in reality, is nothing more than unripened cheese formed by the natural action of lactic acid (with or without the help of a milk curdling agent called rennet). Correctly made, this dairy product is highly digestible and—as might be expected—the home-produced variety has a tantalizingly mild-acid flavor that is far superior to the taste of commercial brands.
Be sure to click on the Image Gallery link about for photos and descriptions that will help as you make your first batch of cottage cheese.
The Four Keys to Cheesemaking
Four things are extremely important to the production of noteworthy cottage cheese: (1) clean utensils, (2) fresh skim milk of good quality, (3) fresh buttermilk and (4) proper techniques.
You most likely have everything you need for making cottage cheese right in your own kitchen . . . and what you don't have you can improvise. Just bear in mind that the lactic acid (formed when milk sours) may be relatively mild, but is an acid nevertheless. It's best to make sure your cheese-making containers are stainless steel, enamelware, tinned or otherwise acid resistant.
You'll need a large double boiler (or one pot you can put on a rack inside a larger kettle), a good-sized strainer or food colander (cover the latter with two thicknesses of cheesecloth), an accurate thermometer (one of the special floating dairy models—available from a hardware store—is best, but any reliable household thermometer that reads from 35 to 170°F will do), a perforated stirring spoon or wooden ladle, a timer and a large kitchen knife.
Skim Milk
If you're starting your cheese making with fresh, whole milk you'll first have to separate the liquid into cream and skim milk. A good, old-fashioned cream separator will accomplish that task in minutes and I envy you if you have one. I don't, so I store our cow's production in the refrigerator until the cream rises and I can carefully skim it off. This cream is then set aside and later added to the finished cheese.
Although raw—or non-pasteurized—skim milk can be used for cottage cheese, pasteurized milk seems to control the souring process (thereby producing a cheese of more uniform taste and keeping quality) and is to be preferred.
You can pasteurize raw milk (either whole or skim) by slowly heating it to 143°F in a double boiler. Maintain the liquid at this temperature for 30 minutes (frequent stirring will help produce a more uniform temperature), remove it from the stove and cool. A word of caution: do not overheat skim milk during pasteurization or it will form into a soft curd that is practically impossible to firm later into cheese.
Your freshly pasteurized skim milk is ready to be turned into cottage cheese just as soon as, it cools to 75°F. If you must put off your cheese making until another day, however, keep the milk in refrigerated, covered containers (uncovered milk quickly absorbs odors) until the very moment you're ready to begin. Remember that superior cottage cheese cannot be made from milk of poor quality or from skim milk that has not been properly cared for.
A buttermilk culture is absolutely essential for transforming pasteurized skim milk into cottage cheese. The culture is of somewhat less importance when the cheese is made from raw skim milk (which contains enough bacteria to sour readily) but-even sowill hasten coagulation, prevent the formation of gas caused by other bacteria in the fluid and improve the flavor of the finished product. Use your own fresh, homemade buttermilk for cheese making or buy some of the fresh, cultured liquid from your local dairy.
The Techniques of Cheesemaking
There are only eight major steps in the production of cottage cheese and, if you follow them carefully, your very first batch should turn out just fine. Make certain you have all necessary pots and utensils close at hand and let's begin:
1. Coagulate your pasteurized skim milk by bringing its temperature up to 75°F and stirring one-half cup (4 ounces) of fresh cultured buttermilk into each gallon of the fluid. Cover the container with a clean, loose-fitting lid and hold the liquid at 75°F until it forms into a good, thick mass with a slight amount of whey on its surface. This should take about 24 hours.
Raw skim milk, as I've mentioned, will sour without the addition of a culture if warmed to 75°F for 24 hours but—due to the random bacteria it sometimes contains—will also occasionally disappoint you with off flavors and funny textures when left to work on its own. It's better to play it safe and start each gallon of the raw fluid with a half-cup of fresh buttermilk just as you start pasteurized skim milk.
2. When the coagulated milk is as thick as custard pudding, cut the curd into one-half to one-inch cubes by passing a large kitchen knife vertically through the thickened fluid crosswise and lengthwise all the way to the bottom of the pot.
Allow the cut curd to rest undisturbed for 15 minutes and then place the container into a larger vessel of water that has been heated to 115 or 120°F. This heating will shrink, firm and separate the curd from the whey and is very important. Excessive temperatures will cause the curds to mat and - for best consistency—the jelling cheese must be heated slowly and as uniformly as possible. You'll realize best results if you maintain the level of the warm water in the larger container slightly higher than the surface of the curd and whey in the inside pot.
3. The developing cheese should be stirred somewhat during this heating to prevent the curds from matting excessively and to help spread the warmth throughout the solidifying mass. This stirring should be done very gently, however, and kept at a minimum. Try not to break the curds. A good practice is to stir gently with a perforated spoon or wooden ladle for only one minute at a time at five-minute intervals throughout the heating process.
4. Check the temperature of the mixture often. When it reaches 100°F, increase the heat under the container of water until a thermometer stuck in the jelling cheese registers 120°F. At that point the curds can be stirred more frequently while you hold their temperature at the higher level for 25 minutes or until the bits of cheese are too firm to break easily. The curd is not firm enough and still requires cooking if a chunk contains enough moisture to appear glossy inside when broken open with the fingers.
5. When the curd has firmed sufficiently, pour it into a large colander (covered with two thicknesses of cheesecloth) or strainer and drain off the whey.
6. The cooling curds should be allowed to drain five minutes and then should be washed twice to remove the acid whey and leave the finished cheese firm, hard and mild in flavor. This washing will not increase the moisture content of the cheese at all so don't be afraid to really douse the curds. Wash them in twice their volume of water both times you cleanse them.
The first washing should cool the curds to about 80°F and remove any remaining sour whey if the ends of the cheesecloth are gathered . . . and colander and all is immersed into a deep pan of 70-80° water for approximately three minutes. If a strainer (instead of colander) is used, gently sink the container into the water until the curd is covered and work the cheese lightly with a spoon as it cools.
The partially-cooled curd is then immersed into a second wash water in the same manner. This bath should be 50°F or cooler (I use ice water) and the lower temperature will check the souring process and chill the cheese enough so that it may be immediately refrigerated or frozen.
7. Let the washed curd drain for half an hour, then place it in a bowl and add (if you so desire) one teaspoon of salt to each pound of cheese. If you expect to eat the cottage cheese within a week, keep it in the refrigerator (35°F is the best storage temperature) until it's needed.
You may also freeze your new cheese for long periods of time if you first compress and chill it and wrap it in aluminum foil. Do this by putting the drained (and salted, if you prefer) curds back into the cheesecloth and leaving just a little slack so it can spread out) tying the fabric shut around the ball of cheese. Then place something flat and heavy (such as a good-sized cutting board) on the bundle and press the cheese down into a hard, flat disk about one inch thick, depending on how much you've made. Leave the disk in the refrigerator or a very cold room overnight.
In the morning, gently remove the compressed cheese from the cloth and wrap it in heavy aluminum foil or place it in a round refrigerator container. You can then freeze it for future use or store it in the refrigerator to be eaten as desired.
I've kept cottage cheese disks in my freezer for as long as three months and—after thawing them for four hours at room temperature—found them just as moist and delicious as the day they were made. The slabs of cheese are very firm and, once thawed, can be sliced much like processed cheese. They can also be crumbled and mixed with cream to make creamed cottage cheese . . . or used in pies, cakes and other nutritious desserts.
8. If you wish to cream your cheese at the time it's made, add one-fourth to one-half cup of either sweet or sour cream to each pound of curds after they've been washed and drained. Creaming cottage cheese greatly improves its flavor and palatability . . . and turns it into a highly perishable product that must be consumed very quickly. If you find yourself with more of the creamed variety than you can eat in a day or two, place the excess (don't press it or you'll lose the cream!) in a container and freeze it.
Your freshly made curd should look like new-popped popcorn, be meaty in consistency and have a tantalizingly mild-acid flavor that won't let you quit eating until you've consumed at least a pint. If the cheese has been properly heated and drained, its firmness will be "just right" and it will contain about 75% moisture. You can always dampen the product a little with milk or cream if you desire and how much of either you add depends upon what you intend to use it for and the way your family likes it.
Some Reasons for Failure
Occasionally, no matter how careful you are, you may run into a little trouble when you make cottage cheese. It won't happen too often (maybe never if you always take care to heed the eight steps outlined above) . . . but if it does come to pass that you're not too pleased with a batch of your curd, check it against the following causes of unsatisfactory cheese:
1. An unpleasant sour flavor may be due to the use of inferior milk, excessive acid development, retention of too much whey in the curd, lack of firming, improper washing or insufficient draining. Any one or a combination of these causes can produce this problem, which, is not really a major one because the sour taste can often be disguised with cream or salt.
2. Yeasty or fermented flavors are caused by bacteria, molds or yeasts in or on the curd. The troublemakers are usually traced to inferior milk, cream or culture or to the use of unclean pots and utensils. Lack of sufficient chilling before putting the cheese into the refrigerator, holding the curd at temperatures above 40°F and keeping the cheese too long before use are other causes.
3. An unclean flavor can also be created by unsatisfactory storing conditions or inferior milk, cream and culture.
4. Field or feed odors are usually caused by such odors in the milk from which a batch of cheese was made. They're unpleasant but they don't render the curd unfit for use. Kill this problem at the source by tasting any milk you plan to turn into cheese.
5. A dry or too-hard curd indicates lack of sufficient moisture because the particles of cheese broke down too small during forming, the curd was overheated during firming, the cheese drained too long after being washed with cold water or not enough cream was added to the finished curd. The condition, however, is favorable if you wish to press the cheese into a disk for freezing or slicing.
6. Soft, sticky or pasty curds are the result of too much moisture . . . attributable to the development of too much acid, oversized curd particles, rapid heating, soft centers in the curd and/or insufficient firming of the cheese before removing it from the stove.
7. Milk may fail to sour and coagulate properly because:
(a) the buttermilk is too old,
(b) not enough fresh buttermilk culture is added to the milk,
(c) the culture and skim milk is held at too low a temperature for too short a time,
(d) the milk came from a cow recently treated (within 5-to 7 days) with antibiotics—such as penicillin—for an udder infection.
Your chances, again, of ever running into one of these problems are slight . . . but there they are. Don't let them scare you because making cottage cheese in your own kitchen is actually quite simple and easy . . . and once you've discovered how good homemade curd can be, you'll never buy it in a store again!

BROAD CREEK � As a center, Croatan senior Jeffrey Tootle knows the pressure is always on him.
BROAD CREEK � As a center, Croatan senior Jeffrey Tootle knows the pressure is always on him.
One bad snap could be a turning point � and the only play anyone remembers. Forget that the other 99 percent of the snaps were perfect.
�I remember my sophomore year, I�d make like one mistake a game and I felt like that�s the only thing the coaches remember,� Tootle said before a recent 7-on-7 practice with Swansboro. �That�s why I really didn�t want to play center. But then after watching I just learned to keep playing and make sure I got the next one right.�
The 5-foot-8, 220-pound Tootle started at guard last year while seeing a few snaps at center for three-year starter Johnathon Rigsby, who�s graduated and is headed to Methodist to play football. With Rigsby gone, Tootle has moved to center.
And not only is he OK with the move, he figured it was coming and kept a close eye on Rigsby last year in hopes of preparing for the switch.
�I was trying to pay attention to things that he did to make me a better player,� said Tootle, who also played some nose guard on defense last year. �I did it (play center) a little last year, and I kind of got used to it. But it still seems like the coaches want me to be more like him (Rigsby).
�So it�s kind of more pressure on me.�
Coach David Perry is confident Tootle can get the job done for the Cougars and will look to the veteran for leadership up front as well as perfect snaps out of the team�s shotgun-oriented spread attack.
�He�s worked hard in the weight room. He�s gotten a lot stronger. So we�re counting on his senior leadership on the line. Most of our line is going to be pretty young this year,� Perry said. �We got one kid who moved in, and we may even have a freshman start on the line. It just kind of depends.
�So we�re going to look for leadership from him. He�s been real committed this summer. He�s been to all the spring workouts.�
For the most part, Perry said, Tootle has been �real consistent� with his snaps during summer workouts. And while there have been �a couple low snaps,� Perry said he expects Tootle �will be fine.�
�He�s quick,� Perry added. �He�s got the work ethic and right attitude.�
Tootle knows the pressure�s on, and he said he�s been working hard in the weight room as well as on his technique to be ready.
�I feel like they�ve really been looking for me to make a huge change in my performance going into this year,� he said, adding that while he played center on JV that varsity �is different because of the level of competition.�
While true, Tootle knows what his job is and what makes a good center.
�I would say someone who just gets a good snap every chance that he gets and protects the quarterback,� he said.
And while perhaps the least glamorous spot on the football field, he also knows it�s vital to the success of any team.
�I just say in my mind I�m doing something that helps the entire team and without me the quarterback wouldn�t be able to do what he does,� said Tootle, who began playing football as a seventh-grader at Broad Creek Middle School.
Over the years, Tootle said he�s learned no center is perfect and has tried not to get down on himself if he makes a mistake.
�It took me a few games to understand that I didn�t have to be so hard on myself,� he said, acknowledging that�s easier said than done sometimes. �Yeah, then it seems like I�d make another mistake because I�d focus on the (previous) mistake.�
What�s helped him, however, is watching players in college and the NFL.
�Most of the games I watched I saw they�re not perfect every time and it�s OK if you make a couple mistakes and (not be) so hard on myself if I do make a mistake,� he said.
One mistake Tootle feels people are making heading into this season is downplaying the Cougars� chances after going 6-5 for the school�s first winning season in football.
�I feel really good after last season,� he said. �I think that we�ve got a good chance being a good team this year. I think a lot of people are underestimating us. I just can�t wait until the season and prove a lot of people wrong.�

CY - CY - COUNTY COURTS. County courts were from their inception instructed to keep records. It is probable that direction was given through statutory instruments as to the form of these. In the 1959 Act section 23 the records of the court to be kept are `as prescribed by the Lord Chancellor'. This prescription duly came in the County Court (Records of Proceedings) Regulations 1967 (SI 1967/1194). These regulations specified what records should be kept of the court in session (such as ordinary and default actions books) and what information they should contain, rather than background records concerning cases or court administration. Subsequently a Lord Chancellor's Department records retention schedule for county court records has also been issued.. Ordinary and default actions books: ordinary and default actions were originally recorded in the same plaint and minute books, all allocated the letter `A'. These books act as the main record of the court and include details of cases, summonses and judgements.. In 1915 for the rural courts, and in the late 19th century for the urban ones, a split was effected between the recording of ordinary and default actions. The ordinary actions plaint and minute books became `B' and the default actions `C'. By 1938 the books are titled by the action type. These books act as the main record of the court as above.. Commitment summons books: these cover both ordinary and default actions and are a record of all summonses and judgements relating to orders for commitment to prison. These books are labelled `H'.. Case files: these files contain, inter alia, copies of claims and defences, court papers and copies of evidence produced at hearings. They are selected by the creating court before transfer to Dorset Archives Service. All case files not selected for transfer are destroyed.. Ledgers: case payment ledgers are labelled `P'.. Foreign warrants books: these are labelled `M'.. Other records: some records have been created under specific provisions of certain acts. It seems likely that statutory instruments regulated the form of these records. There is evidence that the alphabetical tag applies to some of these too, as one Shaftesbury county court bankruptcy administration book bears the initial `W'.. - 1880-1992

SOCIAL DISTANCING by George on the Outer
It was good to see the MFC players practicing the directives about social distancing at the game against West Coast. Pity was that they continued to do so after the first bounce of the ball, as they allowed numerous WCE players run around un-hindered, with not a Melbourne player within 1.5 metres of them! They then found themselves looking at nearly a 5 goal deficit at the first break, which was to be essentially the final margin for the game. It is difficult to judge exactly what is going

I am writing this knowing that the AFL has deemed that the opening round of competition will proceed but fully believing that it should not. The world is going through cataclysmic change as a result of the overwhelming spread of the Covid-19 virus and I agree that a distraction like sport would be good for the public. However, while the physical threat to the population is bad enough, there are other issues to be addressed including the mental health of the community and the effects on th

If you were looking for something new from the Demons that wasn't there last year, you didn't have to look further than the perfectly trimmed grass surface of UTAS Stadium last night as the team steamrolled the Hawks to record a comprehensive 32-point victory to complete their Marsh Community Series commitments for 2020. One new thing was the fact that for the second Marsh game in a row, the team finished full of running and they dominated the second half without the presence or the dominan

The Demons will go into their final Marsh Series match with a strong lineup against the Hawks in Tasmania. Both Max Gawn and Steven May, who were recovering from injuries in first Marsh Series match, have both been named.

There was a fair amount of debate in our area as to whether the game warranted a full blown match report because it was felt that it was really an elevated version of a training session with match simulation but against a team in opposition colours.

It's been more than 5 and half agonising months for the team and supporters who are eager to atone for the disappointing 2019 season which saw the Dees go from Preliminary Finalist to 2nd bottom on the ladder. The preseason campaign has been a hard slog with the addition of respected High Performance Manager Darren Burgess. We caught a glimpse of the gut busting sessions in the Melbourne
THE YEAR THE SKY FELL by The Oracle
After a number of years of linear movement up the ladder, the Melbourne Football Club unexpectedly went into serious decline in 2019, slumping from fourth to 17th in a season that coach Simon Goodwin described "a complete wipe-out". Those around the club who tried to analyse the apocalyptic events that unfolded during the year were hard pressed to find a single reason for the debacle but the most plausible explanation was that the club's troubles stemmed from a lack of fitness and injuries that

From the moment when the Elton John character in the movie "Rocketman" burst into its opening scene dressed as a flamboyant demon on his way to an addiction rehabilitation session, the game was on. Here was yet another film about a person gifted with a meteoric rise to stardom finding coke, booze and a hedonistic lifestyle that led directly to a destructive crash into the abyss. Ultimately, these stories end in total disaster ("A Star is Born", "Bohemian Rhapsody", "Judy") but this one resulted

HOW FAR SOUTH? by George on the Outer
It was appropriate that Melbourne was playing its last game of season 2019 in Hobart. After all, how much further south could the team go? And much as it has done in many of the previous 22 games, the side managed to extract a loss from a winning position by simply giving the ball back to the opposition time and time again. In fact, they gave it back to the opposition to the tune of 53 points from turnovers while, by way of contrast North Melbourne contributed only 17 points to their oppo

Spring Statement 2018: expectations
Philip Hammond is expected to resist temptation to make significant changes for the sake of it as the chancellor prepares to deliver his first Spring Statement on Tuesday 13 March 2018.
"No other major economy makes hundreds of tax changes twice a year, and neither should we", he said while delivering his Autumn Statement 2016.
The Treasury reinforced that declaration in the weeks leading up to Spring Statement 2018, with insiders suggesting the speech is only expected to last up to 20 minutes.
That means it's fair to expect no major tax changes or spending commitments in Spring Statement 2018, especially as the economic forecasts look a lot less gloomy.
Response to OBR forecasts
Instead of a second major fiscal announcement of the year, all of the focus appears to be on growth forecasts provided by the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR).
The forecasts could provide some good news for the UK's economic outlook, and for the chancellor.
After government borrowing was revised down from £58 billion to £50 billion in November 2017, the Institute for Fiscal Studies predicts it could be further reduced in light of stronger than expected tax receipts.
If borrowing comes in below £41 billion, this would mean a surplus on the current budget for the first time since 2001/02.
It's also possible that the OBR could upgrade its forecast for GDP growth, following raised expectations from other prominent forecasters.
It's likely that consultations on potential new policies will be released in Spring Statement 2018.
According to HM Treasury, these could address longer-term fiscal challenges, leaving plenty of time for scrutiny by the government and stakeholders before possible inclusion in Autumn Budget 2018.
A full Spring Statement report is available on our website.

Register New Student
Only children who are 5 before or on September 1 can be enrolled in a Utah school, unless a student's parent is on active duty within a branch of the U.S. armed forces.
Before registering a new student for enrollment, use a certified copy or another legal document such as a passport for entering the student's legal name.
Student names must be entered on the registration form exactly as they are on the birth certificate.
Before a student is accepted for enrollment, the following enrollment verification documents are required to be brought to the school before enrollment will be completed.
- Original Birth certificates (or affidavits of lost certificates), or another legal document such as a passport.
- Certified and complete immunization records or official certificate of immunization exemption.
- Proof of legal Utah residency will need to be brought to the school for verification, such as a utility bill or apartment lease. In cases of divorce decrees or other legal guardianship, this verification of address is the legal guardian who has physical custody appointed by the courts (U.C.A. 53A-2-201). If this is the case, please call the school to find out what other required documents are needed.
For health information and medication disbursement, a form will need to be filled out at the school. This is for the safety of your student.

They're designed using JavaScript and/or CSS snippets located on pages in the MediaWiki namespace. Each gadget is added by adding a new entry to MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition, providing a name and description for the gadget, and a list of the JS and CSS snippets that it uses (see the Usage section below).
Gadgets use the same principle as MediaWiki:Wikia.js, MediaWiki:Common.css, etc. because they allow scripting or styling over the entire site. Since Gadgets function in this manner (the list that enables them as well as the actual JS and CSS pages), it requires being a wiki admin to manage these, just like the sitewide JS or CSS.
First you need to add a script or style to a page in the MediaWiki namespace (e.g. MediaWiki:Gadget-popups.css). Then you add that page to MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition as shown here:
== Example-gadgets == * Navigation_popups|popups.js|popups.css * contribsrange|contribsrange.js
The first field is the gadget's internal name, and may only contain letters and numbers in order to function correctly. If the internal name is Navigation_popups, the corresponding MediaWiki namespace page will be MediaWiki:Gadget-Navigation popups. This page allows you to define a description text which will be displayed on the Gadgets section of your preferences.
The second and subsequent fields define the pages that make up the code. In the above example, popups.js and popups.css would be MediaWiki:Gadget-popups.js and MediaWiki:Gadget-popups.css respectively. Like other sitewide pages, Gadgets may only be written using JS and CSS pages.
These defined pages will allow the gadget to appear in the "Gadgets" section of everyone's preferences, so users can choose which gadgets fit their wikia needs.

I don't know whether this should be on programmers - I've been looking at the above three apps over the past few weeks just for myself and I'm in two minds. All three look good, are easy to use, and I came to this conclusion;
- Asana is the easiest to use
- ActiveCollab is the feature rich and easiest flow
- BaseCamp is the best UX / design
But I didn't really find my workflow was any more quicker / efficient, in fact it was a bit slower and organized.
Is there a realistic place for them in workflow - should programmers use them for themselves, or only when a project manager can take control of it?

Bob Barnes at the Washington Post has a column today that discusses whether the days of the Court's religiously-reserved seats are over:
Here's the kind of question that might violate the rules you learned about proper dinner conversation: Does President Obama's next Supreme Court nominee need to be a Protestant?
If Justice John Paul Stevens decides to call it a career after he turns 90 next month, the Supreme Court would for the first time in its history be without a justice belonging to America's largest religious affiliations.
Turns out I've violated dinner conversation etiquette several times since I started F1@1F in December.
As I stated on F1@1F's first day, I believe Obama will nominate Judge Diane Wood to preserve what has now become "the W.A.S.P. seat" when Stevens retires. For this reason (though not only this reason) I disagree with Tom Goldstein's prediction at SCOTUSBlog that Solicitor General Elena Kagan will be Stevens's successor.
In fact, Kagan may have time yet before she gets her much-expected nomination to the bench. I think Justice Ginsburg's successor will be a person of color from a yet-to-be represented ethnic group. Only when Justice Breyer retires will the President seek to preserve the Jewish seat.
By then, however, Kagan's window may be closed by age or the President's party affiliation. And no amount of goodwill Kagan built up among the conservative legal professoriate during her Harvard Law deanship will compel a GOP President to nominate her.
2 Responses
I think it's a safe bet that Obama will nominate Kagan before the end of 2016, no matter what.
But you're right about Diane Wood. Forget about the WASP seat, with Stevens retiring you've got to replace a strategic mastermind in the left wing of the court and you've got to have someone who can hit the ground running. Judge Wood might be the only person in the country who can fill the void — she's got the vast legal knowledge and the ability to reach compromises with conservatives on the Court.
[…] thoughts as expressed on F1@1F's first day of existence in late December, as well as several times pieces I've posted […]

ANZAC Day
Posted by Ardie Bea in Following Jesus, News and politics, Politics, Theology, Worship on April 25, 2014
This is from my weekly church newsletter, sent yesterday…
Tomorrow is ANZAC day, and we remember those who have served our nation in the armed services. Regardless of what we think about war and peace, and whether it is ever ok for Christians to take up arms, I believe it is right to respect those who, in good conscience, put their lives on the line for the sake of their nation. Having said that, I also know that most young people who enter the armed services have far less altruistic motives in doing so, and the reality of life in the services is usually a long way from saintly. So let's remember that there have been occasions in which our nations young people have found themselves called upon to make supreme sacrifices – and many of them have responded with what can only be described as heroism. And let's also reflect upon what we actually mean by heroism…
I wrote here about how our normal human fascination with power for its own sake leads us to cast our heroes in the shape of Superman, who, for all his moral qualities, is ultimately described as 'super' simply because of his physical power. In other words, because he's the biggest boy in the playground. If there is no God, or if the gods are those of the pagans, then that is not only normal, but right. Nietzsche's logic on this point is fairly compelling – though it drove him to despair. BUT believing in the God of the scriptures is to encounter a God who moderated the law of the jungle – from "If you injure me, I will kill you!" (Lamech – Genesis 4:24) to "An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth – and no more than that!" (Exodus 21:24) and then the radical teaching of Jesus in Matthew 5:38-40, directly contradicting this older law with his command to "turn the other cheek." And then there was Jesus' own demonstration of this different way of living; living without retaliation. Though, as he said, he could have called down "twelve legions of angels" in his defence, he was more concerned that his followers should do no violence, telling Peter to "put up your sword – those who live by the sword, die by the sword." (Matt 26:52-53) Jesus submitted to extraordinary indignities for the sake of God's mission – our salvation. And his life was consistent with his own teaching; he breathed forgiveness for his enemies in his dying moments.
This is not the heroic superman of our culture. He does not overcome violence with more violence, but with self-sacrifice. He trusts God to hold him, even in death, and to bring goodness out of the cruelty and senselessness of the cross. How often are we willing to trust God for justice? How often are we prepared for him to offer mercy to those who harm us – or even to offer that mercy ourselves, in his name? How often are we willing to let go of revenge – even just the satisfaction of being proved right. Paul teaches us that "we proclaim Christ – and him crucified; a scandal to the Jews and foolishness to the gentiles." (1 Cor 1:23). So it is today, too. Jesus, and his apparent 'failure' as messiah doesn't look attractive to a world that worships technology and wealth and health and power. But those who enjoy these things know also that none of these things satisfies. Many are actually willing, in their quiet moments, to consider the claims of the crucified to offer a better way. We can make him available to them, not by trying to be as powerful, and wealthy, and slick as the world around us, but by living fully in the Spirit of the Jesus we follow. We can make Jesus known to our friends and neighbours by following him more nearly, loving him more dearly, and seeing him more clearly, day by day. We can make Jesus known by knowing him better ourselves. That won't happen if we attach ourselves to the blinding, soul-sapping idols of the world.
Tomorrow we remember those who have fallen for our sake. Many of them would say to us that the hero they most tried to be like was the one who laid down his life for his friends. Not necessarily the fastest marksman or the hardest fighter. Let us remember them with honour, and let us remember – and love – our Risen Lord with great glory.

Say cheers to the clouds
Rooftop bars are the ideal place to get a real sense of a city. But which of these intoxicating high points is really worth a visit? Ten addresses for connoisseurs who like to be on top of things.
Bangkok, Thailand
"Famous from movies and television!" A great headline for the Lebua Sky Bar – and still a dramatic understatement. This is where Hangover 2 was filmed, the buddy film featuring Bradley Cooper. Not that the Lebua ever needed the plug; it was already the world's highest open-air bar long before the movie.
Istanbul, Turkey
The NuTeras rooftop bar in Istanbul provides great alternatives to big-city stress: high-proof hedonism, sweeping views of the Taksim, the Golden Horn, the minarets, kofta meatballs with pistachios, and happily, what so many DJs promise but fail to deliver: the best tracks from the 1980s and '90s.
Daddy Cool Bar
Capetown, South Africa
Gleaming chrome-plated trailers reflect the African sun across the decking like a kaleidoscope. What feels like an inviting campsite is actually Cape Town's hippest rooftop bar, planted on top of the Grand Daddy Hotel. The trailers do have beds, though, just in case guests don't want to come down again.
Círculo De Bellas Artes
Madrid, Spain
"And people come to Madrid to conquer the sky," the author Julio Llamazares once wrote. How right he was! Down in the Circulo, you can admire the works of Goya, Picasso and Minerva, and from the bar upstairs, the entire city. Practically a work of art in its own right, the panorama just cries out to be framed.
Chill Skybar
Ho-Chi-Minh-Stadt, Vietnam
Boomtown Ho Chi Minh City's top spot, on level 26 of the AB Tower – with booming prices to match. With the right crowd, the bar morphs into a club after 8 p.m., and it's money well spent. But first you have to get in: The doormen decide in the lift who's in and who's out. In shorts, you haven't a chance.
The name of this bar is a nod to Singapore's Red Lantern Pier, where Chinese settlers landed in the 19th century. Everything else is modern, like the house beats booming from speakers and the sophisticated drinks. From up here on the roof of the Fullerton Hotel, you have a fantastic view over Marina Bay and the spectacular skyline.
New York, USA
New York has many rooftop bars, most of which are too crowded, too loud and too expensive. Andrew Carmellini aims to provide something better – and looks like succeeding with the Westlight at the William Vale Hotel in Williamsburg. The man's a pro with many a successful Manhattan restaurant to his name.
Berlin, Germany
"Is it still under construction?" is a question many first timers at the Klunkerkranich ask. Sure, nothing really looks finished here, the chipboard, the chairs, the stage – but it's all intentional. An improvised bar in an improvised city – with music, a rooftop garden and lots of charm: Berlin in a nutshell.
Mama Shelter
Los Angeles, USA
As an outsider, it's all but impossible to gain admittance to the upper echelons of society in this town, where the rich, beautiful and beautified keep themselves to themselves. Refreshingly, Mama Shelter welcomes all comers to chill, lounge, feel they belong, and admire the Hollywood sign through its telescopes.
Baba Nest
Phuket, Thailand
Strictly speaking, the Baba Nest is not really a rooftop bar but a rock-top bar, situated high above Panwa Bay. But with a stunning infinity pool, a breathtaking sky, and a sri-jito – the lemongrass variation on the mojito – to enjoy, who are we to split hairs?
The At.mosphere, 442 meters above the ground, is in Dubai's Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building.
Winston, the cognac cocktail once mixed by bar-keeper Joel Heffernan at Club 23 in Melbourne, cost a heady 12916 U.S. dollars.
The terrace at the Streeterville Social in Chicago measures 836 square meters; people even play boccia and cricket here.
It's a straight 350 meters from the Oval Office to the W Hotel's POV Rooftop Bar frequented by Washington's political elite.

Blog by Kate Shellnutt / Houston Chronicle
About two weeks after a Texas Hill Country store owner advertised a concealed handgun class that was not open to Muslims or Obama supporters, the Austin American-Statesmen reports that Crockett Keller has changed his position, amid negative national attention drawn to the policy as well as a state investigation.
The newspaper wrote:
In a statement released (Monday) evening, Tom Vinger, a spokesman for the Texas Department of Public Safety, said an investigation of Crockett Keller has been closed after Keller "affirmed that he would not refuse instruction to anyone based on national origin, race or religion."
"DPS will have no additional comment at this time," Vinger said.
Keller, the owner of Keller's Riverside Store in Mason, told the Houston Chronicle he initially got calls of support and solidarity over the radio spot, which said "If you are a socialist liberal and/or voted for the current campaigner-in-chief, please do not take this class. You have already proven that you cannot make a knowledgeable and prudent decision as under the laid. Also, if you are a non-Christian Arab or Muslim, I will not teach you the class."
He was unashamed of his remarks, but Muslim groups across the country, including the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Texas, have spoken out against his discrimination policy.
Keller's advertisement, along with the controversial Iranian sign at a Katy restaurant and the recent stir-up over a Tea Party event featuring a critic of Islam in Sugar Land, have raised a question that makes a lot of Texans go, "Oh, not again."
Yahoo ran a piece asking "'Islamophobia' on the rise in Texas?" and the University of Texas' Daily Texan's weekly column had a similar sentiment: Discrimination and Texas' brand and prattle.
"In the eyes of many, Texas has proven itself to be the prejudiced simpleton of the South, wielding weapons and name-calling a minority. From the legacy of questionable politicians cum president (and potential president) to the presumed regard that Texas should be an independent republic, the most damaging stereotype is that of the racist Texan," the student wrote. "Though not true of all Texans, this stereotype continues because of a lack of sufficient condemnation of discriminatory language or actions."
Yes, Keller can easily be written off as a small-town guy with a small-town mindset regarding religious and racial diversity, but the other incidents were right here in Houston, one of the biggest, most diverse cities in the country, that happens to be home to a huge Muslim community. And still, a bunch of us are happy to "play cowboys and Iranians" while we enjoy some barbecue or applaud activists who go on and on about how Islam is a threat to the American way of life.
Is this an actual issue or another time when Texas is falling victim to a Southern stereotype?

On Saturday, May 11, letters carrier nationwide sponsored the 21st annual food drive, asking customers to leave a food donation by their mailbox. The postal customers of Alamance County responded in a huge way. There was so much food donated that it�s taken an extra three days and many more volunteer hours to finish sorting and weighing; but we finally have a total. The final tally came to a whopping 71,148 pounds! This is a 50 percent increase over the 2012 amount. So if you were one of the thousands who made a donation, give yourself a pat on the back.
The success of this food drive is due to a combined effort from many people, and I�d like to thank each and every one who played a part. To all my co-workers throughout Alamance County, you�re the greatest! You not only went about your regular duties on Saturday of delivering the mail, but you also spent the day picking up and loading bags and bags of food into your vehicles. Some of you collected so much food that you had to make multiple dropoffs. To the Loaves & Fishes staff and the dozens of volunteers who sorted and stacked food at Loaves and Fishes, this wouldn�t have been possible without you. To Heidi Norwick of United Way, thank you for helping spread the word through the media. To Burlington Mayor Ronnie K. Wall for proclaiming May 11, 2013 as Letter Carriers Food Drive Day in the city of Burlington. To my fellow coordinator of the last six years, Tricia Loy, who never seems to run out of energy. To Brenda Allen at Loaves and Fishes, thank you for being the most compassionate person I know. Alamance County is blessed to have you and the Loaves & Fishes Ministry working for the underprivileged in our community.
Finally, to all the people who so generously gave from their hearts, please know that you have brought tears to the eyes of many folks struggling to feed their families. And you�ve brought tears to my eyes, as well.
Kay Johnson is the food drive coordinator for NALC Branch 2262.

Most of the people flagging Facebook photos aren't reporting porn or violence, but are unhappy about how they look in them, a Facebook executive said.
Arturo Bejar, Facebook's director of engineering told NPR that most of the users flagging photos were in the photos themselves. This led to creating a new layer that gave users a box to check next to the statement, "I don't like this photo of me."
"[We were] talking to somebody at the Compassion Center in Stanford, the Compassion Research Center," Bejar told NPR. "They were telling us that what triggers your compassion reflex is when you recognize that the other person is experiencing an emotion. So if you notice that they're sad, if you notice that they're happy, if you notice that there's something going on with them, how you engage with them changes. . . . And we found that the message that said, hey, I really don't like how I look in this photo, most people would feel comfortable sending that message. And most interesting, most people who receive that message would just go ahead and remove the photo."
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
While the original requests to take down photos came out in August, Facebook has been tweaking the utility to make it less confrontational. (Facebook also has another check-box to report bullying, labeled "It's harassing me" or "It's harassing a friend.")
Essentially, if you don't like the photo where you are making a weird face or looks like you gained 30 pounds, it's not obscene, doesn't involve hate speech and likely isn't violent, o Facebook isn't going to take down the photo. Bejar said it would be up to the original poster to do so. If the original poster gets the message and doesn't take it down, Bejar says it's up to you to repeatedly ask or give up. (But let's hope you don't get reported for harassment!)
Unflattering Facebook photos apparently are really a problem if you judge it by the number of hits on Google, with a Coalition Against Unflattering Facebook Photos (on Facebook, of course) and numerous ways to head off unflattering photos at events. But in the end, it's better to have understanding friends who wouldn't post bad pictures of you in the first place.

Social Security: Who's Counting on It?
This Fact Sheet by Selena Caldera of AARP's Public Policy Institute Economics team illustrates the importance of resolving Social Security's long-term solvency problem by highlighting the critical role Social Security plays in securing the income of many Americans. This fact sheet uses 2009 beneficiary data from the Social Security Administration and income data from the March 2009 supplement of the Current Population Survey to update the data provided in fact sheet 154, Social Security: Ten Facts that Matter.
Older Americans' Reliance on Social Security Income, by State, 2006-2008
AARP Public Policy Institute has estimated older Americans' reliance on Social Security in each state using a three-year average. The Current Population Survey, the survey data used to produce these estimates, is not designed to be representative at the state level. As a result, the sample size for an individual state for one year may be too small to yield a precise estimate for the subpopulation of those age 65 and older. To remedy this problem, we are providing estimates based on three years of data; the single year estimates are included for research purposes only, and they cannot be used reliably.

Martha Moxley Murder Update: Michael Skakel slams trial attorney in conviction appeal
(CBS/AP) VERNON, Conn. - Kennedy cousin Michael Skakel launched a barrage of criticism Thursday against the attorney who represented him at his murder trial, saying he failed to track down key witnesses while having fun and basking in the limelight.
Skakel was convicted in 2002 of killing his Greenwich neighbor, Martha Moxley, in 1975 after a trial in which he did not testify. He testified Thursday in his latest appeal, arguing that trial attorney Michael Sherman failed to competently defend him.
Skakel's current attorney says Sherman got caught up in the limelight of the case and failed to prepare. Sherman rejects that claim and says he did all he could to prevent Skakel's conviction.
Skakel said Sherman referred to himself as a "media whore" and spent time with writers whom Skakel considered his enemies. He says Sherman failed to track down a witness who supported his alibi and others who could rebut a claim he confessed to the crime.
Skakel said he was adamant that Sherman track down other former classmates to challenge a claim that he confessed to the crime while attending a reform school in Maine in the late 1970s, but Sherman failed to find them. One classmate, Gregory Coleman, testified that Skakel confessed to killing Moxley and said he would get away with murder because "I'm a Kennedy."
Skakel, the nephew of Robert F. Kennedy's widow, Ethel Kennedy, is serving 20 years to life for the 1975 golf club bludgeoning of Moxley.
Skakel also says Sherman told him he would never get arrested and that he would never go to trial.
He said Sherman did not give him a chance to review evidence in the case. When Sherman visited Skakel at his Florida home, Skakel said they would mostly talk about money and golf.
"He wanted a war chest. He said we needed $5 million bucks," Skakel said.
Skakel said Sherman took photos of the judge and jury with a pen camera and had him sign an autograph. "I was flabbergasted at the nonchalant attitude," he said.
Sherman told him about a dinner he had with a former classmate from the reform school that was attended by actor Harrison Ford and singer Michael Bolton in which the classmate said in front of them that Skakel never confessed while at the reform school, Skalel said. He said Sherman could have called Ford and Bolton to testify.
Skakel's defense also argues that Sherman ignored a claim by a former classmate of Skakel's that implicated two other men in the killing. Skakel said he did hang out with that classmate in Greenwich in 1975.
A judge has rejected the claim as not credible.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 345 diseños de 98 diseñadores freelance.
The name plays off the combination of receipt, recipe, and eat. This needs to come through in the logo so people get the meaning and don't just think i cant spell.
The website will be a social meadia recipe website, with differenciating factor being the database will be set up arround the ingredients - so you can load prices and energy etc of ingredients, and see what each recipe will cost you, and what your energy etc content will be. And a whole lot more but thats the core
Anyone who cooks. This is a broad and surprising market. While currently most users of recipe websites are women who visit on average twice a month, I want this to be more of a tool that people use each week. I think this will start by appealing to some specific segments, and then grow to be more mainstream.
Key segments are:
single people (divide recipe contents to a per person recipe)
people trying to save their food budget (see what recipes cost)
people wanting to show off their cooking ability
people concerned about what they are eating / trying to loose weight
People that have a huge amount of recipes and can never decide what to cook
I need a logo that I can put on the website, and also have it in different formats so that i can if needed use in print, t shirt, etc. i don't want to have to come bugging you to get another format.
I want people to instantly look at it and have an idea of what the site is about. It should give an image of being new wave, "web 2.0" . Its not going to be twitter or facebook but thats kind of the feeling I want to get.

I did pretty well, and now I'm at GWU for a Master's Program in Molecular Biochemistry and Bioinformatics. When I finish I want to apply to law school. Ultimately, I want to practice Health Law. So I know I have to take the LSAT, but what else would make me a competitive applicant? Specific kinds of ECs? Experiences? Also, what's the time line look like? Any advice or links to previous posts would help.

In London.
I carry my tea past plaques commemorating Keats, Dickens and the victims of the 2005 bombings. There are many lovely squares nearby -- Tavistock, Russell, Bloomsbury. It is here that I see my first proper blackbird -- exactly the kind that one would bake into a pie.
We inch our way through crowded Borough Market, past mammoth meringues and gigantic wheels of cheese. There are stalls selling Cumberland sausages and duck confit sandwiches. I buy a bottle of San Pellegrino from an ice cream van and drink it next to the Thames. I can see the dome of St. Paul's off in the distance. Being here is at once totally natural and slightly odd. It feels good.
Before I even realize it I'm in Clerkenwell. You really can sense the Fleet beneath your feet -- submerged, but ever-flowing. I peek in on the eponymous well, which was not rediscovered until 1924. We arrive at Dr. Johnson's house and pay our respects to Hodge, that "very fine cat indeed." I imagine him slinking around Gough Square in spectral form, twining about my ankles. I should've brought him an oyster.
We take the train to Greenwich. Yes, the pigtail grease stains on Nelson's coat are still there. I walk down to the foreshore and borrow three fine rocks from the Thames. I hope He doesn't mind.
Strolling along the embankment under a blue sky, I watch the sunlight dance on the murk of the Thames. Black-headed gulls swoop and dive at the water. I'm vaguely reminded of my own River, far away. My provenance is showing.
We stop for lunch at Covent Garden. My squash and goat cheese pie is especially tasty. I take a picture of my other trusty travelling companion, Mr. Difalot.I'm pleased that I can show him where he came from.
Now we're off to Bunhill Fields. I imagine that this is a serene, meditative place. Today I am quickly disabused of this notion.
A group of uniformed schoolchildren have colonized the main path and are running about, making up noisy games on the spot. Their matching hats adorn the nearby fence. I hope I'll get to have a quiet moment with William and at the very least be able to take a decent picture.I feel like I should be annoyed by the noisy kids, but I'm not. Suddenly, strangely, my heart fills with joy and I burst out laughing. It's a magical moment.
I try opening up to William, asking him to tell me which stone is his. I sense a vague insistence (over there, to my right, a few rows back, a few stones over...) Is it him? Is it me? The both of us? Neither? I wish I would've had the time to knit him socks; I bet his feet are cold.
On the walk to St. Paul's I just can't help it -- The Real Tuesday Weld's music and Glen Duncan's words spring to mind, unbidden. This is really not all that surprising. Both are perfect complements to the bustle and Spirit of the City they were created in; how fitting that they chose this moment to float to the surface. When one Loves one's city as much as they do, it can be quite catching.I think it's safe to say that I've contracted that condition myself. I love London; it is wonderful to be here....and I'll be coming back.

Fun fact! William Blake was a pauper when he died, and was buried in an unmarked, mass grave. The grave you saw was only erected later, after he became famous. I lived in London for 2 years and one of my little day adventures was exploring that cemetery, one of the park employees took me around and showed me all the various folks in it. Including where William Blake is actually buried - Right underneath where all the kids play! I was thrilled by it, and i think he would have been too!

Thanks so much for the pictures of your travels. With your commentary, it feels like we're with you! And I love that you pick up smooth stones! I do that also to remember moments. I have a little bowl on my work desk containing some. One time I picked up big honking sharp edged rocks from a very recent avalanche in Idaho. Very cool.

Hi! This is random (but I have been reading your blog for awhile, just never posted before now), but we were in the same part of London at the same time! I'm just reading this entry now because I had so much blogging to catch up on... What a great time of year to visit, huh? The weather was amazing, especially considering the temperatures back home. I couldn't get over all the flowers in bloom! And the wonderful coffee shops everywhere! Oh, wow, I could go on. It's nice to see that you had a great time, too. :)

Helping hand for children with autism
WHEN Hilton Grugeon's son Tim was young, it was a time when problem children were typically blamed on the mother.
Years later Tim was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome, a relatively mild condition on the autism spectrum.
The experience gave the property developer an insight into the plight of parents of autistic children.
So when the Hunter Aspect School for children with autism needed help to find a permanent home, he was eager to help.
The result was unveiled yesterday at the official opening of the Hunter Aspect School in Thornton.
The Newcastle Herald first exposed the school's plight in August 2010 when it was squeezed out of its Shortland Public School base because of stimulus-package works and growing enrolments.
The late Tim Austin lobbied Paterson MP Bob Baldwin, who then contacted Mr Grugeon.
What followed was a true community project.
The Owens family donated land, Mr Grugeon oversaw construction, the federal government provided stimulus-package money, the state government fitted out an early-intervention centre, the Newcastle Permanent Charitable Foundation gave $165,000 for the library and Maitland City Council scrapped the rates.
Groups such as The Men's Shed as well as tradespeople volunteered their services.
The school, which already has 105 children, is fully equipped to cater to the needs of autistic children and administer the work of its satellite classes around the region.
It will be at capacity with 118 students in 2013. There is even talk of building a dedicated high school next door.
An emotional Mr Grugeon helped officially open the centre yesterday.
''It's what we said we'd do and we did it. This community is fantastic – it will rise to the challenge for those members of the community that have got the tremendous burden of a child with autism,'' he said.
Among the enrolments is Ben Harris, 6, of Metford. His mother Lynda Harris said parents appreciated the purpose-built school and supportive staff.
''It's so huge to be able to leave them at a school where you know their needs are being met,'' she said.
Principal Liz Murray said it meant the world to the autism community.
''There's always going to be somewhere they can go to get the services they need,'' she said.

Scrum Sevens
Christmas crackers
ESPNscrum Staff
December 23, 2010
Haydn Tanner terrorised New Zealand in 1935 © Getty Images
Christmas Day is around the corner and the touring southern hemisphere superpowers are long gone from European shores. It's just as well considering the current arctic conditions across the continent, but back in the day the tourists would have been bedding down for a while longer yet. In our latest Scrum Seven we've delved into the history books to select some Christmas crackers played in the build-up to the big day.
Wales 13-12 New Zealand, National Stadium, Cardiff, December 21, 1935
One of Wales' three victories over the mighty All Blacks, this was the game that introduced the legendary Haydn Tanner to the international stage. The teenager had made a name for himself by playing a pivotal role in one of the all-time great tour victories over New Zealand, when he and fellow Gowerton schoolboy Willie Davies wrote a famous chapter in Welsh rugby history in the white of Swansea. After All Black skipper Jack Manchester had pleaded with the press to cover up the manner of their defeat at St. Helen's , they went in search of revenge over the fresh-faced Tanner. Welsh skipper Claud Davey and winger Geoffrey Jones, who bagged a brace, led the scoring for the home side, who extended their avantage over New Zealand with a second win in three meetings despite losing debutant hooker Don Tarr with a broken neck.
England 11-8 South Africa, Twickenham, London, December 20, 1969
Bob Hiller led England to their first win over South Africa in this festive showdown, at the sixth attempt. With the help of an overhead projector, the former Cambridge double blue delivered a rousing pre-match speech and was duly rewarded. Hiller weighed in with five points in an era when his boot dominated England's scoring, with second-rower Peter Larter and hooker John Pullin both crashing over for tries. Piet Greyling scored for the tourists, who endured a miserable time and also lost to Scotland, Cardiff and Oxford University before salvaging draws with Wales and Ireland.
Wales 0-6 New Zealand, National Stadium, Cardiff, December 21, 1963
Around 60,000 fans braved bitterly cold conditions to see the All Blacks roll out of Cardiff with their first win in the Welsh capital. Don 'The Boot' Clarke and fly-half Bruce Watt shared the points, Watt landing a drop-goal. The Kiwis were denied the rarest of northern hemisphere clean sweeps by a 0-0 draw with Scotland on January 18, with the other three home unions and France all succumbing in Test matches. The All Blacks also returned to Cardiff toward the end of their tour, beating the Barbarians 36-3 before a brief stop off for two games against British Columbia in Canada, but were able to avoid a return to Newport - the site of their sole lost match on tour.
Wales 28-3 Australia, National Stadium, Cardiff, December 20, 1975
The Wallabies felt the full force of JJ Williams in this winter warmer, with Wales' premier sprinter shredding the tourists for a hat-trick. Williams had been switched to the right wing at late notice following an injury to Gerald Davies but did not miss a beat, with Gareth Edwards also breaching the Australian rearguard for a try. The Wallabies had already lost to Scotland and Cardiff and would also fall to a heavy defeat against England, a small amount of redemption coming with a win over Ireland and another over the USA on a whistle-stop stay in North America.
Wales 13-8 New Zealand, National Stadium, Cardiff, December 19, 1953
As he was cheered from the field by a big crowd at the Arms Park, Bleddyn Williams would not have been fearing for a terrible losing streak to overtake Wales. As history played out however, the venerable Cardiff centre remains the last Welshman to captain his country to victory over the All Blacks. A storied occasion that has become a millstone, this win saw the legendary Ken Jones crash over for the winner after flanker Sid Judd had earlier found a chink of light in the visitors' defence. The game saw debuts for Kiwi try scorer Bill Clark and second five-eighth BBJ Fitzpatrick, father of the legendary Sean.
Wales 3- 6 South Africa, National Stadium, Cardiff, December 22, 1951
Williams again enjoyed a moment to remember two years earlier as the Springboks arrived in Cardiff for a match billed as the 'unofficial world championship'. The mifielder's try was all that Wales could muster as the tourists scraped home, Chum Ochse crossing the whitewash and Hannes Brewis bisecting the uprights with a drop-goal. The tourists had already smashed Scotland at Murrayfield and defeated Ireland, setting up a Grand Slam which was achieved with victory over England. France also fell as a remarkable clean sweep was achieved, with London Counties the only side to get one over on the South Africans. Their tour wound down with a record of played 31, won 30.
Wales 1G, 2T - 0 New Zealand Natives, St. Helen's, Swansea, December 22, 1888
The 'Natives' tour is a major building block in the history of the game and this Swansea showdown was also the first time Wales had played an international against overseas opposition. The 'Natives' included tour instigator Joseph Warbrick in their side for a game that it's easy to lose among the remarkable wider statistics of the tour. In total they played 107 games of rugby, winning 78, eight Aussie Rules fixtures and two Association Football matches. They proved less adept at the other disciplines, losing both 'soccer' matches and five Aussie Rules ties.

AT&S cooperates with Intel
AT&S pursues its entry into the IC substrates market. Furthermore, the PCB manufacturer named its cooperation partner: it is Intel.
During January, AT&S announced its intention to enter the integrated circuit (IC) substrates market. In the present and subsequent financial years there will be a strong focus on building up the requisite expertise for the production of IC substrates and to prepare for the entry into the market. In connection with the planned manufacture of IC substrates, AT&S entered into a Corporate Purchase Agreement and a Master Collaboration and Intellectual Property Agreement with Intel Corporation in January 2013. The production plant for IC substrates is currently under construction in Chongqing, China. As previously announced, this new line of business is expected to start generating revenue in 2016. At the same time as building up the IC substrates business, the AT&S group will focus on developing its core business in the printed circuit boards market. AT&S finished the financial year 2012/2013 with sales of around EUR 542m – about 5% higher than in the previous financial year.

"On the outside, I look fragile/But on the inside is something you can't touch...CUZ I'M COUNTRY STRONG!" Oh, you know you wanna hear this one.
Of course, we've all heard her "Cruising," so it's no secret that Gwyneth can sing: once again, she's crooning in character, this time for her new flick Love Don't Let Me Down (aka Country Strong.) LDLMD, which costars Leighton Meester, Garrett Hedlund and real country singer Tim McGraw, filmed in Nashville. Here's how the Tennessean described it:
The movie, a romantic drama, stars Paltrow as a popular yet troubled country singer named Kelly Canter. Canter is in a rehab facility (filmed at Barbara Mandrell's former home, Fontanel) when she falls for Hedlund's character, Beau Hutton, an employee at the facility with aspirations of country music stardom. Canter's husband, James (played by McGraw), checks the still-fragile singer out of the facility to embark on a music tour. Meester's character, country newcomer Chiles Stanton, is being mentored by James, who wants to book her as the opening act. Kelly, however, wants the spot to go to Hutton. In the end, all three go on tour together. Canter's emotional fragility and the developing attractions among the four principals, set against the backdrop of the tour, form the fabric of the movie.
In other words, it's kinda The Thing Called Love meets Nashville meets '76 Star is Born. And we are so there.
