Theatre Review: The Smallest Show on Earth - Theatre Royal Glasgow ✭✭✭✭
Lisa Davidson 07:30
Review by Sharman Prince
Based on the 1957 British Lion comedy, The Smallest Show On Earth is the story of a pair of penniless newlyweds, 'Jean' and 'Matthew Spenser' (Laura Pitt-Pulford and Haydn Oakley) who learn they have inherited a cinema in Sloughborough. After setting out to view what they hope will be their financial salvation they discover that the 'Bijou Kinema' is anything but. Faced with stiff competition from a rival cinema run by 'Ethel' and 'Albert Hardcastle' (Ricky Butt and Philip Rham) they set out to restore the 'Bijou' to its more successful days. Faced with its quirky staff, including alcoholic projectionist 'Mr Quill' (Brian Capron - of 'Coronation Street' fame), and sabotage attempts from the 'Hardcastles', the 'Spensers' must formulate a plan to make their little flea-pit into a success before it is bought out and turned into a car-park.
It seems an odd juxtaposition that the British plot should be united with Irving Berlin but the marriage is a happy one and his songs are used to serve and further the story which has undergone some happy adaptation from the original film: Thom Southerland and Paul Alexander's script captures the feel of those Ealing-period British comedies and is peppered with great one-liners and develops some appealing relationships not necessarily in the original film.
Musical supervisor/arranger Gareth Valentine and Orchestrator Mark Cumberland ensure that the songs are weaved into and around the dialogue and the sound produced by the six-piece orchestra is spot on. All of these elements consolidate to create a fully formed piece of musical theatre that feels organic and sincere. Of course, it was not unusual for composers to create new musicals from their own back-catalogue and Berlin was amongst those who elected to pick and choose numbers when creating a new musical for stage or screen, so the idea of using pre-existing numbers is not a new strategy here but it is a successful one.
David Woodhead's set and costume design is elegant and witty and is beautifully complimented by Howard Hudson's lighting design. Thom Southerland's direction is energetic, tender and precise and he is adept at creating interesting, exciting transitions whilst never neglecting his cast with whom he creates some lovely sequences although some tightening could be undertaken in places. The musical staging is entertaining and the choreography by Lee Proud is perfectly suited to the style and nature of the piece, evoking an age long since past.
The cast are led by Liza Goddard as 'Mrs Fazackalee' and Brian Capron as 'Mr Quill' and both are pleasing to watch whilst also providing some of the more moving moments in the production. Laura Pitt-Pulford and Haydn Oakley have a delightful and believable chemistry as the newlyweds and both are blessed with glorious vocals. Christina Bennington and Sam O'Rourke are unrelentingly charming as the youngsters from opposing families whose sweet, adolescent relationship adds a youthful energy and warmth to proceedings whilst Matthew Crowe, as reluctant solicitor 'Robin Carter', has some of the most fun onstage; he proves to be a truly entertaining all-round performer and gleans all he can out of one of the most amusing parts in the show. The supporting ensemble is strong in all aspects and the entire company shines consistently.
"The Smallest Show On Earth" is a charming, amusing and ultimately entertaining heart-warming little show that harkens back to a more nostalgic time and it is a bit of a dark horse amongst the more monolithic productions that are also currently touring. The theatrical equivalent of a hearty Sunday roast this understated yet tenacious and robust production is perfect fare for many an audience member and the opportunity should be taken to enjoy it while you can: It is a lovely little show.
The Smallest Show on Earth is at the Theatre Royal until 31st October. For tickets and information visit www.atgtickets.com/Glasgow

Dallas Jackals Adds Ryheem Powell
Photo: Dallas jackals
The Dallas Jackals signed Ryheem Powell as a Development Player for the 2022 season! The 25-year-old prop is 6'1″ and 255 lbs.
Ryheem is from Warminster, PA, and attended William Tennett High Schoo where he played football. He played age-grade rugby with Doylestown Rugby Club, progressing from the U15 through U19s before playing with the senior club.
From 2015-2019 he attended Susquehanna University, earning a Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education. He played rugby at the University and in 2018 attended the Collegiate All-American Selection Camp in Glendale, Colorado. He also was a Mid-Atlantic All-Star in 2017.
Ryheem has traveled to Ireland and New Zealand when he attended the Crusaders International High-Performance Unit. He also has played representative rugby for Philadelphia United in both 2020 and 2021.
Powell says rugby gave him something to connect with. He continued, "I finally started to become my true self, became more outgoing and all-around a more positive person. It's a community of people who share the same love and respect for one thing, which is to say they are part of the rugby family." Powell went on, "there seems to be no sport like it."
Powell comes from a large family where he is the middle of seven kids. Family is actually a huge pull for him coming to Dallas as part of his extended family lives in Texas. He also has a two-year-old pit bull puppy named King who will accompany him.
Powell said, "It means the world to me to get this opportunity to grow with a new squad, play at a high level, and learn so much more about the game and myself. I felt an instant connection with the Jackals and it seemed like we were aligned with goals and hopes for the organization, myself, and those in our communities. I'm excited because I know this will be a place to grow and thrive."
Jackals GM Elaine Vassie said, "Ryheem's a really powerful player who's put a lot of work in over this last year, and I'm pleased we will be welcoming him to Dallas for 2022."

Home Jihad UK: Stores sign up to voluntary ban on acid sales to teenagers
UK: Stores sign up to voluntary ban on acid sales to teenagers
Some of Britain's biggest retailers pledge to stop selling corrosive liquids to teenagers following a sharp rise in acid attacks.
The voluntary code includes banning products containing harmful levels of acid and corrosive substances
Source: Sky News, By Dan Whitehead, Sky News Reporter, January 7, 2018
Sales of products containing dangerous levels of acids and corrosive substances have been banned for under 18-year-olds under a new voluntary government plan aimed at stopping acid attacks.
Some of the country's largest retailers including Wickes, B&Q, Screwfix and Tesco have signed the list of commitments, which include checking the age of buyers both in store and online.
Under the ban – which is not legally binding – the following products will not be sold to those under 18:
:: Products that contain 12% or above of sodium hydroxide, such as some drain cleaners and paint strippers
:: Any liquids with 10% or more of hydrochloric acid, which includes brick and patio cleaners
:: Products containing 10% or above of ammonium hydroxide and sodium hypochlorite, which includes many cleaning products.
Image:Wickes, B&Q, Screwfix and Tesco are among the retailers who have signed up to the scheme
Shops are also being recommended to comply with the Poisons Act and promote awareness to staff.
Minister for Crime, Safeguarding and Vulnerability, Victoria Atkins, said: "Acid attacks have a devastating impact on their victims, leaving both emotional and physical scars. I'm pleased that so many of the UK's major retailers are joining our fight to combat this scourge and signalling they are committed to selling acids responsibly."
Image:Jabed Hussain had a corrosive substance thrown in his face last year
The move has been welcomed by Jabed Hussain, who had a corrosive substance thrown in his face last summer.
He was one of five victims to be burned in London on a single night of attacks and told Sky News the attack hurt him both physically and mentally.
"I'm scared to get out of my house, I'm scared to go to see my friends, I'm totally different after the incident," he said.

Video:Jabed Hussain: I was burning and begging for water
He says more police are needed on the street to tackle the rise in acid attacks.
"The Government should go and chase them – who's doing this – the Government should provide enough police on the street and give them the power to chase them."
As well as national hardware and supermarket chains, smaller hardware stores are also being encouraged to sign up.
Alan Hawkins, CEO of the British Independent Retailers Association, told Sky News it is more of a challenge for smaller independent stores to control.
"It's harder for the smaller independents because if you're a larger company you're more likely to have computerised stocks and tills. On an independent level it is the shop owner who is going to have to understand the terms so it's about staff training."
https://www.theunitedwest.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/UK-Acid-Attacks.mp4
Video:What to do in an acid attack
Labour has welcomed the voluntary ban on under-18 sales – but Stephen Timms MP, who has led calls to do more to tackle acid attacks, says the Government must go further.
"I think what's happened is some people who're intent on committing crimes have worked out that it's less risky for them to do it with the help of an acid bottle that they're carrying than if they were carrying a knife or a gun because there are much clearer and stronger laws in place against carrying knives or guns than there are against carrying acid."
The Home Office says it is consulting on plans to make it illegal for under-18s to get hold of acids and an offence to carry such substances in public without good reason.

Published at Friday, November 09th 2018, 05:24:08 AM. Home Accent By Robin Rapace. Home accents are the things such as bookcases, magazine racks, storage, shelving, storage cabinets, jewelry amoires, pillows, mirrors, coat racks, clocks, wall arts, accent tables and many more. These pieces will transform a dry, dull and lifeless home into something alive, vibrant and chic. Most homeowners would just buy furniture and would usually forget to put the right accent that goes with them. A sofa set needs the right centrepiece on its center table. The bedroom needs the right mirror that blends with the room's theme or motif. An ordinary living room will have a sophisticated and modern look if it is accented with a wall art. A study room can also have a modern flair. There are stylish and contemporary shelving or storage pieces that can create a modern look to an ordinary study room. A contemporary bathroom can also be transformed with a new look when it has the right accents such as a mirror and a decorative wall art.

Short story about an endless space ship
I read it online few years ago. It is a short story about exploring a spacecraft/ship/station that seems to be infinite inside.
It is written like a log, and each entry starts with a measure, like Day 1 "1 km", Day 2 "10 km", Day 3 "100 km" (not sure about dimensions but they grew exponentially).
I found the story at that time while reading about megastructures. Although the construction in the story was huge, it didn't fit the criteria of megastructure because it was infinite.

This makes me think of "the Way" in Greg Bear's Eon. But I don't recall if any of the chapters started with measurements like that. Also, this was a novel rather than a short story. – Xantec Aug 7 '14 at 12:41
If you're interested in stories about seemingly infinite structures, you might enjoy reading House of Leaves by Mark Danielewski. This is not a short story though, but a full-blown book. It's also a typographical experiment, which makes it even more interesting. Take a look, maybe you'll enjoy it! – Lasooch Aug 8 '14 at 8:57
This is a good example of why story-id questions are a good feature of this site. I read this, found the concept interesting, and found the answer and the link and just read this story. – Tango Aug 13 '14 at 5:46
@Lasooch: Typographical or topographical experiment? There's a big difference! – Tango Aug 13 '14 at 5:46
@Tango actually, I guess one could say it's a bit of both. But mostly tYpography. Take a look: images.fanpop.com/images/image_uploads/… - an actual page from the book ;) – Lasooch Aug 13 '14 at 17:19

DescriptionCustomer Reviews (10)Price Details
Traditionally, Gold Coin Grass (GCG) has been commonly used for dampness and heat in the body. The herbal medicine has been used for thousands of years in Chinese medicine to help increase urination, lessen fever and treat sexually transmitted ailments. As mentioned in numerous research articles, the most clinical health benefits of GCG is in the treatment of gallstones and kidney stones. It is also been found to be quite beneficial for the liver and gallbladder. It has also been shown to inhibit skin allograft, or skin graft, rejection time.
Jin Qian Cao or Gold Coin Grass is named so because of its coin-like leaf and more importantly its medicinal properties which were considered to be as precious as gold. It is also worth mentioning that most people do not mind the taste and smell of this herbal extract.
The herb has often been recommended in combination with Coptis Chinensis to accelerate the flushing of broken stones. There is some new research on Gold coin grass that shows gallstones and kidney stones may be easily treated without surgeries. In fact, it is believed to be one of the best herbal tinctures available to actually crush the stones into tiny particles, thereby allowing it to pass out of the body. Or at least, this has been the experience of many who have used it. This can be accomplished by a lemon and olive oil cleansing cocktail that can be found online. The tincture/extract of Gold Coin Grass appears to be the most efficient way to take this herbal product (one should not expect immediate results). The best reports for this herbal remedy is that with long-term use it helps prevent the formation and regeneration of stones.
As mentioned before, the herbal tinctures have been used as a natural remedy for centuries for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects which could help to fight infections. The typical functions of Gold Coin Grass are for urinary calculi, Nephrotic Syndrome (nephrosis), edema, damp-heat jaundice, and hepatolithiasis. As it has been recorded, in Chinese Materia Medica, Lysimachia goes to 4 meridians of liver, kidneys, gallbladder, and bladder. Typical functions of the herbs properties include alleviating water retention to treat stranguria, removing heat and toxic substances, to reduce swelling. Various organs get overworked by the accumulation of toxins in the body that can occur with the processed foods we cannot completely avoid. Many health problems may arise when the vital organs such as the kidneys and liver are unable to perform their important functions.
The Gold Coin Grass herb has also been used for boils, carbuncles, and even snake bite. It has antibacterial effects and works as an anti-inflammatory. As a side note, a tea of the tinctures may be given to dogs, and cats, for urinary difficulties and prostate problems.
Centuries of experience has shown that Gold Coin Grass can be taken safely and without side effects. However, the process of passing stones naturally can result in symptoms caused by the release of toxins into the body's systems. The symptoms may manifest themselves as fever, nausea, muscle pain, earache, and headaches. Its natural effect is diuresis, or frequency of urination, which could result in an over excretion of potassium in long-term use. This may also counter the effects of any anti-diuretic medication.
Ingredients: Gold Coin Grass, Structured Water, 20% Alcohol.
Non-Alcohol: Gold Coin Grass, Structured Water, and Vegetable Glycerin.
Instructions: Use 6-12 drops in juice or water, under the tongue or as desired. May be taken 3 times daily. Shake well. Store in cool dark place. Keep out of reach of children.
Contraindications: Since Gold Coin grass herb is characterized as a medicine that is good for increasing urine flow, it could also lead to vertigo. For the same reason, those with diarrhea and those who are taking an anti-diuretic are advised not to use it. When used for a long period of time, it could decrease potassium levels. And although there are no known side effects of Gold Coin Grass, the process of passing stones naturally can result in symptoms caused by the release of toxins in the body's systems. These may manifest as headaches, nausea, fever, earache and muscle pain. However, these are generally believed to be caused by the stress of passing stones rather than the Gold Coin Grass itself.

Hiking Olympic National Park – Top 12 Trails
By NomadicMoments July 19, 2021 Guides, West Coast US 0 Comments
Olympic National Park is often described as three parks in one and that is a well-deserved title. The beaches are beautiful with towering rock monoliths rising out of the surf. The rainforest is lush with massive ferns and towering moss-covered trees. The glaciated peaks of the Olympic Mountain Range rise into the clouds. Each type of environment brings its own unique beauty and life to the Olympic landscape. With so much diversity visitors are left wondering, what are the best trails to see all that this scenic wonderland has to offer? If you are planning a trip we have got the top 12 trails for day hiking Olympic National Park.
If you are interested in more than just day hiking when visiting Olympic National Park, check out our post about the top 10 activities in the park. It also has great information about campgrounds, hotels, and food when exploring the sprawling park.

Hiking Olympic National Park's Coastal Trails
There are three sections of coastline in Olympic National Park. These are often referred to as the North Wilderness (Shi Shi Beach to Quillayute River), South Wilderness (Quillayute to Hoh River), and Kalaloch (aka, the coastal drive). All three are located on the west side of the park in a small strip of land that is separated from the main mass of the park. The seaside hikes within the park vary from easy strolls along sandy beaches to the slippery, rocky, tidal-pool-laden shorelines. Many sections of the beach become inaccessible during high tide. Low tide is not only the safest time to explore these places it is also the best time of day to search for sea life in the tidal pools. It is vital to know when the high and low tides occur each day while hiking these seaside trails.
Barnacles are one of the most common creatures on the Olympic coast.
1) Rialto Beach to Hole in the Wall
Total Distance: 3 miles
Type: Out-n-Back
Elevation Gain: 20′
Rating: Moderately easy
Trailhead: Rialto Beach Parking Lot
A sea stack rises out of the surf on the north end of Rialto Beach.
Rialto Beach is one of the best sand beaches in Olympic National Park. It is also considered a great surfing beach. However, if you turn north and hike a mile and a half along the grainy sand you will reach a beautiful section of shoreline. It has large rocky sea stacks rising out of the surf and a rock arch known as the Hole in the Wall that can be walked through during low tide. Along the way, watch for bald eagles swooping down out of the tall trees lining the beach. The rocky area surrounding the Hole in the Wall is also one of the best places to look for sea life in the low tide tidal pools. We even managed to spot a seal plying the waters of Rialto Beach.
Arrive early to the parking area. This is a very popular beach and the small lot fills up quickly. Within an hour of sunrise on a weekend, the nearest parking can often be over a mile down the road. Wear water shoes on this hike. Ellen Creek flows across the beach about halfway along the beach and while taller people can hop over the channel it is much easier to just walk through the creek. We watched a kid try to jump over the creek and faceplant in the sand after catching his foot on the adjacent creek bank.
2) Third Beach
The Strawberry Bay Waterfall drops into the Pacific Ocean near high tide.
Total Distance: 3.4 miles
Elevation Gain: 298′
Trailhead: Third Beach Trailhead
Third Beach is another beautiful sandy beach on the Pacific Ocean but it has one unique scene that elevates it above many of the other beaches in the area. It has a 119′ tall waterfall that plummets directly into the water during high tide and crashes onto the beach during low tide. Often referred to as the Strawberry Bay Waterfall (aka, Third Beach Falls), it is entirely fulled by rainwater which in Olympic National Park means it rarely goes dry. That being said, the best time to visit this beautiful beach is after one of the park's heavy rains. While the beach and waterfall are why the Third Beach is a must-do when hiking Olympic National Park, the 1.7-mile long trail (one-way) could just as easily be put into the rainforest category. The first mile of the journey is through the lush forest hugging the coastline.
We suggest hiking shoes for this trail because of the uneven terrain of the forest section of the trail. However, there is a creek crossing once you arrive at Third Beach so bring watershoes or be prepared to go barefoot. During high tide, Strawberry Bay Waterfalls plummets into the ocean but it isn't possible to get very close without a swim. During low tide, it is possible to walk right up to the base of the falls.
3) Beach 1 (Not First Beach)
Total Distance: 1/2 mile
Rating: Easy
Trailhead: Beach 1 Pull-out
Beach 1 in Olympic National Park is beautifully lined with dead wood.
Beach 1 is our favorite driftwood beach in Olympic National Park. The shoreline here is covered in massive bleached logs that have been rolled up on the coastline and out of the surf during large storm surges. The plethora of driftwood on the beach is so dense that hikers must crawl over the logs to reach the sand. The trail is a short jaunt through the woods from a small pull-out just to the north of the South Beach Campground. (Which is our favorite place to camp in Olympic National Park.) The forest section of the trail is also one of the best places in the park to see massive Spruce Burls which are large growths or knots on the trunks of the trees that are highly sought after by wood craftsmen. (Logging in National Parks is prohibited.)
Don't confuse First Beach with Beach 1 further to the north. Whoever named the beaches in Olympic National Park wasn't the most creative person.
The short trail to Beach 1 is the best place to see spruce burls in Olympic National Park.
4) Ruby Beach
Total Distance: 1/4 of a mile to 3 miles (one way)
Trailhead: Ruby Beach Parking Lot
A massive sea stack rises out of the Pacific Ocean at Ruby Beach.
Ruby Beach is located on the North end of the Kalaloch section. It is a very popular beach with easy access. Ruby beach is a great spot to watch the sunset behind tiny islands and sea stacks. The beach has a lot of driftwood scattered about it. Following the trail down to the beach requires hikes to make their way through the driftwood although it is typically easier than finding the path through the driftwood at Beach 1. Ruby Beach is also a sand beach at low tide and a pebble beach a high tide giving it a lot of variety. Once on the beach, head north across Cedar Creek. You can hike the beach for 3 miles all the way to where the Hoh River meets the Pacific Ocean. The Hoh River's headwaters are the Hoh Glacier on the east face of Mount Olympus 56 miles away.
5) Cape Alava Trail
Type: Out-n-Back (9.4-mile loop option)
Trailhead: Ozette Ranger Station
This is the Cape Alava Coastline at high tide. The trail ahead is under the ocean.
The Cape Alava Trail leads hikers to the westernmost point in the Continental United States. It is a must-do trail when hiking Olympic National Park. The trail passes over the Ozette River and through the woods to the secluded geologic point. It has several sections of beautiful boardwalk draped in moss which can be a bit slippery so watch your footing. The beach itself is a rocky one that often teems with life. It is not uncommon to spot seals, otters, and sea lions as well as bald eagles at Cape Alava. We counted thirteen bald eagles during our visit. While you are not allowed to deface or typically remove anything from the National Parks, the parks service encourages hikers to pickup buoys on Cape Alava. The park considers them trash but they make a great souvenir when visiting the westernmost point.
Plan on exploring the cape during low tide and continue your hike 1.25-miles south along the shoreline where you can find ancient petroglyphs etched into stone at the Wedding Rocks formation. If you are up for a longer hike you can continue south to the Sandy Point Trail and make the journey into a 9.4-mile long loop. While this is a mostly flat traverse the uneven rocky coastline can be more challenging than most people think. There are also sections that are impassable during high tide. For these reasons, the full loop is best done as a backpacking trip but you will need to reserve a backcountry camping permit ahead of time.
Hiking Olympic National Park's Mountain Trails
There are very few roads in Olympic National Park that pierce the heart of the mountainous high country and none that completely traverse it. This makes most of the mountain trails in the alpine region into long multi-day backpacking adventures. However, there are a select few trails that are not only short enough for day trekkers but they are some of the best trails in the entire park. The following four trails should not be overlooked when hiking Olympic National Park.
6) Hurricane Hill
Trailhead: Hurricane Hill Parking Lot (1.5 miles past Hurricane Ridge)
The summer wildflowers in Olympic National Park cover the landscape on Hurricane Hill.
Driving Hurricane Ridge Road is one of the must-do activities when visiting Olympic National Park. The visitor center at the top is the only viewpoint of Mount Olympus in the entire park that is accessible by a paved road. However, a mile and a half further into the mountains on Hurricane Hill Road there is a trail that takes hikers to the precipice of the 5,757′ Hurrican Hill. From the summit of the windy point, hikers are rewarded with not only some amazing views of Mount Olympus but also Port Angeles, the Strait of Juan De Fuca, and Canada's Vancouver Island.
This is a very popular hike so plan on arriving in this area of the park very early in the morning. It is not uncommon for the park service to limit access to Hurricane Ridge Road once the parking area at Hurricane Ridge is full. The wait to get into the park on summer weekends can be over an hour-long by mid-day.
7) Grand Basin Overlook
Trailhead: Obstruction Point
Looking down into Olympic National Park's Grand Basin.
The trail from Obstruction Point (6,150′) to the Grand Lake Overlook (not signed) is one of the highest maintained trails in Olympic National Park. It is a beautiful trail that crosses over the alpine terrain. It provides unobstructed views over the Lillian River Valley and many of the high peaks in the core of the Olympic Mountain Range. We suggest day hikers turn back once they reach the point at 1.7-miles along the trail where it splits with an unmaintained path heading to the right and the maintained trail descending quickly into the Grand Basin. While the Grand Basin with Grand Lake, Moose Lake, and Gladys Lake is an alluring destination, it descends over 2,500′ in two miles. This is a journey best done with a backpack to make the most of the journey into the backcountry.
Finding the Trail
Getting to Obstruction Point is an adventure in itself. It requires an 8-mile gravel road drive (one way) along a mountain ridgeline with no guard rails. It isn't for the faint of heart but in good conditions, almost any normal-sized vehicle can make the traverse. Once in the small parking lot, there are two trails. The Obstruction Point Trail on the left leads to Deer Park 7.5-miles away and is a beautiful hike as well but much longer. The Grand Basin Overlook (aka, Grand Pass Trail) is the one that climbs up the small hill to the right toward Grand Lake.
Some adventurous souls like us will attempt a loop hike through Grand Basin via the before-mentioned unmaintained trail known as the Lillian Ridge Trail. This is a journey fraught with loose scree, steep drop-offs, and often covered with snow until well into the late summer. It is not recommended.
8) Rainshadow Trail (aka, Blue Mountain)
Total Distance: Half-mile
Type: Loop
Trailhead: Blue mountain Parking Lot above Deer Park
Blue Mountain is one of the best places to watch the sunset over the Olympic Peninsula and the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
The hardest thing about getting to the 6,000′ high summit of Blue Mountain is the steep white-knuckle drive up and the first gear descent back down. The parking area is accessed via a steep and extremely curvy 9-mile gravel road with lots of blind turns. It is only open during the summer but is well-maintained during that time so smaller vehicles can make the journey. The Blue Mountain summit is one of the best vantage points in the park to watch the sunset over the Strait of Juan de Fuca. It also has a commanding view of one of the most unique features of the Olympic Peninsula, the more than 5.5-mile long Dungeness Spit (also a great hike but located outside the park).
Arrive at Deer Park below Blue Mountain a few hours before sunset to secure one of the 14 first-come, first-served tent-only campsites. This is a great spot to camp out and makes staying until after the sun sets much easier. The road is difficult enough in the light of day.
9) Mount Storm King
Elevation Gain: 2,132′
Rating: Difficult
Trailhead: Storm King Ranger Station Parking Lot
Of the few mountain trails that make the top 12 hikes in Olympic National Park, Storm King is by far the most challenging. The other three mountain trails could be undertaken by almost anyone at any skill level but that is not true of Storm King. If you have issues with vertigo you are best to sit this one out. Not only does it climb over 2,200′ in less than 2 miles it does so via an infamous rope section. However, for those who venture up this mountainside, an iconic view of Lake Crescent awaits.
Bring some gloves for the rope sections and arrive at the trailhead very early. A long line tends to form at the rope section and it can get unbearably long especially on weekends. Add in Marymere Falls (#12) during the return.
Hiking Olympic National Park's Rainforest Trails
The United States has no shortage of beautiful beaches and sky-high mountain ranges. However, the country has very few rainforests. The few found on the west side of Olympic National Park are accessible, beautiful, and complete the trio of environments that this park is famous for. This is a land of varying shades of green fed by glacial snowmelt and an abundance of rainfall. While there are a lot of trails that cut through this land of gorgeous green these are the three best.
10) Sol Duc Falls
The uniquely beautiful Sol Duc Falls in Olympic National Park.
Total Distance: 1.75 miles
Trailhead: Sol Duc Parking Lot
The west side of Olympic National Park gets a lot of rain and, as a result, the park has an abundance of beautiful waterfalls. On paper, the 37′ tall Sol Duc Falls doesn't look very impressive but it is the coolest waterfall in the park. It is best because it is unique. This waterfall is actually three waterfalls in one and at times of high flow, it has even been known to add a fourth column. The Sol Duc River is divided into three columns by two large granite protrusions as the river is turned 90 degrees and plummets into a small gorge. It is a beautiful scene only made better by the overwhelming amount of greenery provided by the dense rainforest. The trail itself is an easy and beautiful stroll through the dense forest culminating in a wooden bridge crossing over the gorge just below the falls.
While this is a very popular hiking area we actually recommend arriving in the afternoon. The river flows west allowing for the best light on the falls in the late afternoon. It is not uncommon to catch a rainbow in the myst of the falls later in the day. Parking will most likely be an issue especially on weekends so be prepared. Many guides to hiking Olympic National Park would recommend adding Deer Lake. The lake adds 3,500′ of elevation gain and isn't overly special.
11) Hoh Rainforest (Spruce Nature Trail and Hall of Mosses)
Type: 2 Loops
Combined Elevation Gain: 510′
Trailhead: Hoh Rainforest Parking Lot
Looking up at the moss laden trees in the Hoh Rainforest.
Exploring the Hoh area of Olympic National Park is the quintessential rainforest experience. It is a land of massive trees covered in layers of moss and vines. Sunlight trickles through the dense canopy as moisture permeates the air. The Spruce Nature Trail and the Hall of Mosses trails are two small relatively easy loops that beacon visitors to stroll peacefully amongst nature. The sound of the forest can be overwhelming as the birds and insects go about their daily lives and the moisture drips from every surface. If after completing the two miles on the forested loops, you long for more, head down the Hoh River Trail for a few miles. It is 18.5-miles long (one-way) so don't attempt the entire thing unless you are carrying a backpack and have secured a camping permit.
Like most of the places on this list, the Hoh Rainforest is a popular area. We recommend arriving early to enjoy the stillness of the rainforest before the crowds arrive. If you really want to experience nature, camp out at the Hoh Campground and venture out on the trails at twilight.
12) Marymere Falls
Marymere Falls in Olympic National Park.
Type: Out-n-Back (w/small loop at the end)
Rating: Moderate
Trailhead: Storm King Ranger Station & Parking Lot
Marymere Falls is a beautiful 90′ waterfall that slides down a sheer wall of stone covered in green moss. Not only is the waterfall beautiful but the short hike is as well. It starts on the shores of Crescent Lake, passes through a tunnel under the road, and proceeds to cut through the dense moss-covered forest. It follows the flow of Barnes Creek for a short distance before crossing over it and then Falls creek on two picturesque bridges. The trail on the other side of the second bridge steepens as it climbs through a small loop the full 200′ of elevation. It is steep but quick. The loop provides two beautiful viewing areas for the waterfall.
Olympic National Park is a massive wonderland encompassing three distinct ecosystems. If you long for the quintessential mountaintop experience, a secluded hike in the woods, or a relaxing stroll on the beach this park has you covered. The only real issue with hiking Olympic National Park is finding the time to do it all and we have not yet even touched on the countless backcountry miles to be explored with a backpack.

I am brand new to using linux, apart from a little previous messing around with Ubuntu over the years.
But more through curiosity and when my hackintosh crashed out on me, Ubuntu flash drive always saved the day.
I am presently learning to program C and C++ for embedded systems.
And need to use a linux system to run the free software that is provided by the manufacture (STMelectronics).
So. i have converted my chrome book to run XFCE via Crouton.
with software centre working, as well as firefox working.
However, i downloaded the two main apps i would like to use via XFCE.
both which in their basic form are free.
But I now want to install them on my XFCE build.
Re: install downloaded apps from desktop?
As for the other product, it requires an email address and verification and I didn't bother going through the process. Perhaps they also have installation information available?


Considered the gateway to a number of international and domestic destinations, cruises from Perth are a fantastic way to experience the historic, bohemian city of Fremantle.

Lovely peach toned andesine is perfect for spring.
I do stone setting mostly for rings but this time, I turned it to necklace.
Also prong setting, not my usual bezel setting. It was fun.
Warmer it gets, funner it is to wear bracelets.
assuring if it's comfortable or functional, etc.
Lastly, I made a bracelet with my favorite labradorite stone.
When the center part is heavy and big, the chain tends to keep spinning around the wrist.
It seems to solve the problem when wearing it very tight and layering with other bracelets.

The biggest announcements from Microsoft Build 2015
By Cameron Faulkner 30 April 2015
Here's the TL;DR of what you missed
Windows 10, HoloLens, Microsoft Edge and more
Yesterday, Microsoft's Satya Nadella, Alex Kipman and more (including a cute robot) took the stage to give an overview on how Windows 10 is going to be a big deal. Today, we got an in-depth (read: technical) look that helped to elaborate on many of those talking points.
Build is, indeed, a developer's conference, so the amount of announcements and sizzle reels isn't quite up to CES levels of craziness. Yet, Microsoft has revealed a ton of new information on Windows 10, HoloLens, Project Spartan (now called Microsoft Edge) and everything in between.
It's time to catch up on what you might have missed at Build 2015.
Prev Page 1 of 13 Next Prev Page 1 of 13 Next
Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser has been the butt of every joke one can possible make about internet browsers. But with Microsoft Edge, you meanies can't make fun any longer.
The new browser, which was previously titled Project Spartan, aims to do everything the big boys like Google Chrome, Firefox and Safari can do, plus some.
What makes the Edge look to be a unique experience is that the Windows ecosystem is baked right into the browser for the convenience of the user. That means Cortana, links to relevant apps in the Microsoft Store and an attractive design that echoes the live tiles from the Start menu will ride along with you while you browse the information highway.
Windows 10 apps retooled from iOS and Android
Microsoft announced a four-part plan to get everyone onboard with Windows 10. The first two parts of said plan did very little to create a ripple, but the last two worked up some "ooh's" and "aah's". There was even an "auuughh?" somewhere in there.
In an effort to beef up the app offering in the Windows Store, Microsoft announced that universal Windows 10 apps can be easily created with only a few tweaks to already-existing Android and iOS code. That means it takes much less work for developers of hot apps like Snapchat, Periscope and Candy Crush Saga to port their work over to Windows.
With that simple retooling, these apps, which were previously locked to either Android or iOS, can operate on any device running Windows 10, be it a laptop, desktop or mobile phone.
Hey, it's the Surface Hub!
It's hard to agree upon an ideal screen size for a tablet. Since there's no consensus, Microsoft though it'd be a good idea to make a 4K, 84-inch productivity tablet/TV/mounted smart table.
This isn't the first we've seen of the Surface Hub. Regardless, it's still looking to be the ultimate business meeting tool by replacing the whiteboard and allowing smooth interaction and collaboration when it finally comes out. We still don't know the release date or price, but we can expect it sometime around the launch of Windows 10, likely costing an amount justifiable only by those in the work world.
Microsoft Makers unite
Microsoft is making moves to attract all you creative types to Windows 10. Whether your interests lie in composing music, manufacturing 3D prototypes of product models, creating collaborative blueprints or if you're Questlove, just air drumming, Microsoft wants its platform to be the one you want to create on.
Just how is it doing that? By toting the versatility of Window 10 being a "Universal Windows Platform", that's how. The code making up your unique application can scale to tons of devices.
Cloud computing and cow farms
By mixing the unthinkable, Microsoft showed off a rather interesting application to show off the ingenuity of its cloud computing platform, Azure.
Microsoft wrapped pedometers around the legs of female cows to track how many steps they take during a given day. Not only does this answer the question of how active these cows are, it also clues farmers into each individual members of the cattle that are about to be in heat. Seem strange? It is. But there's a method to the madness.
Once the farmer detects a cow in heat through a dramatic uptick in steps taken, they are able to artificially inseminate, which offers an increased chance of conception. It's all science, dude.
As the presenter on stage jokingly described, this is AI meets AI. Artificial intelligence and artificial insemination.
Azure Machine Learning will take over the world
A fun concept demonstrated on stage was the "How Old Do I Look?" site. It's powered by Azure Machine Learning, Microsoft's conditional cloud platform that gets better at doing things as it tries, even if it fails sometimes.
In the demo, presenting a picture of yourself (or anyone, for that matter) will display an estimated age. It's fun, pointless and did we mention that it's fun? Overall, the algorithm in place is accurate, but it can be fooled. It thinks Hillary Clinton is 36 and it thinks I'm twelve years older than I actually am (I'm 25).
Some DirectX 12 goodness
There wasn't much going on in the way of gaming at this year's Build developer conference, but near the end of day two's keynote, Square Enix presented a tech demo showcasing the capabilities of DirectX 12.
Titled "Witch" with the subtitle "Chapter 0 [Cry]", the demo looked a whole lot like the Luminous Studio engine shown off a few years ago at the E3 gaming conference.
Needless to say, it all looked gorgeous. The character model shown was incredibly lifelike and with the PC configuration painting the scene, it's easy to see why. The Digital Storm desktop pushing the graphics in the presentation was powered with four GPUs capable of presenting all 63 million polygons of the entire environment.
Windows owners have long-enjoyed using Visual Studio to code their applications and/or web projects. But today, Microsoft announced that it is spreading this love to Mac OS and Linux owners too.
This opens up the coding editor and debug tool up to a whole new community of established developers and budding students looking to get into the field. Better yet, it's totally free to download. What's not to like?
Microsoft wants 1 billion Windows 10 devices
Whoa, that's a lot. But let's put it into context. A Microsoft exec claimed that there are about 500 million adopters of Android 4.4 KitKat and even less who updated to Apple's latest mobile OS, iOS 8. So with 1 billion total users, Microsoft would crush all, right? Not exactly.
Windows 10 is a consistent experience across mobile phone and personal computer, which means that the metric being aimed for combines the sales of PCs and mobile devices. Thus, this goal will be much more easily reached than if the software giant were to instead fight for dominance in only one product category.
Regardless, Microsoft has a few plans to win you over as a Windows 10 user. First, the Windows Store has received a facelift to improve the user experience. Secondly, the apps available are universal no matter which device you use.
Lastly, Windows 10 is a free, no-strings-attached, upgrade for current Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 users. This cheaper than cheap deal won't last forever, but it should give the install base a huge push upon release.

HoloLens is looking incredible
We were all impressed and admittedly, completely surprised, when Microsoft announced its plans to step into augmented reality with HoloLens. A head-mounted display that's completely wire-free? Tech demos that don't seem too good to be true? What is this sorcery?
Microsoft took to the stage to prove us yet again that HoloLens is shaping up to be something unique. Though no details about its release were even vaguely hinted at, we got a peek at some really cool use cases for the AR headset.
The team showed us how HoloLens can adapt to your environment, intelligently plastering app windows against walls and onto tables. One moment even saw the demonstrator gesturing to grab an app window and expand it to cover the entire wall.
Some experts from Case Western Reserve University demonstrated how HoloLens can be used for study, in this case with human anatomy. Our demo showed a meticulously detailed 3D model of the human heart, which the HoloLens user can spin around and zoom in on to get a closer look.
The last demonstration showcased how HoloLens can inject life into inanimate objects, like robots. Not only could the HoloLens control the movement of the robot by plotting AR waypoints for it to travel on, it could reroute its path should something, like Alex Kipman, get in its way.
You can tell that this gallery is listed in no particular order because I've saved what's possibly today's biggest announcement for last. Microsoft detailed Continuum, a plan to turn any phone into a personal computer.
The biggest perk of Windows 10, so far, isn't that it can scale down for a mobile-friendly experience. It's that from a mobile device, still being the universal Windows 10 OS that it is, can also upscale to bring the same capabilities of your personal computer –without compromise– to the big screen.
With Continuum, a secondary Windows 10 device can act to emulate a mouse and keyboard, should you not have one handy. Lastly, as the name hints at, Continuum aims to provide a continuous experience. That means that any maps you're gazing at and articles you're reading on one device are shared automatically with your other Windows 10 devices.
Windows 10 release date
Just kidding. Well, the joke is on us too. We, just like everyone else, were on the edge of our seats to hear if Microsoft would loosen its lips and just give us what we want, a release date for Windows 10. Today, unfortunately, wasn't the day.
However, what they ended up giving us was a lot of what we wanted and even some stuff that we didn't know that we wanted. Hopefully, tomorrow's continuation of Build 2015 will provide some clarification as to when people can hope to get their hands on the final product.

There aren't that lots of people that also have a bar set up at home.

Seth McClung pursues a long-shot baseball comeback
Ex-Ray Seth McClung has plenty of reasons to try to pitch again.

Published March 19 2014
Updated March 20 2014
BRADENTON — Seth McClung jokes that players in the Pirates' minor-league complex called him "coach" this spring.
That's fairly true, as the former Rays right-hander has spent the past four seasons coaching high school girls basketball at Pinellas Park and Osceola. McClung, 33, said he actually identifies himself more as a basketball coach now than he does a baseball player, having not appeared in the majors since 2009.
But like on the basketball court, McClung wants to finish his baseball career with a buzzer-beater. It's is a long shot, with McClung released Wednesday by the Pirates, who brought him to camp on a minor-league deal. He hopes to land with another team, encouraged by how he performed this spring after he struck out the side against the Rays in his only big-league exhibition and scattered two hits in two minor-league games. Pitching for paychecks in Taiwan and Mexico last year reinvigorated his love for the game and a belief he can still play.
And McClung, used to being "daddy day care" for his daughters Madison, 4, and Fallon, 2, has one last wish: that they see him pitch in the big leagues.
"If it's over, it's over, I'm okay," McClung said. "I wanted to give it one more go. My ultimate goal was to make it to the major leagues and have my picture taken with my kids. … But I'm 33 years old. I understand there's an end to this."
McClung began his career in Tampa Bay, having been drafted by the then-Devil Rays in the fifth round in 1999.
He was traded to Milwaukee in July 2007 for Grant Balfour, pitched parts of three seasons for the Brewers and finished his career 26-34 with a 5.46 ERA in 177 appearances. He pitched for three Triple-A teams from 2011-12.
McClung said he has grown since his Devil Rays days. He married longtime girlfriend Stephanie three years ago, and he watches their daughters often while his wife works as assistant finance director for the Charlie Crist gubernatorial campaign. "It's her time to shine," he said.
After an interesting year split between Mexico and Taiwan, McClung sought out MLB general managers and scouts last fall via LinkedIn, asking if they would give him a chance.
In November, Pirates director of player personnel Tyrone Brooks offered an opportunity. Whether McClung gets another one could go a long way in a promise he made to his mother. Marky McClung has liver cirrhosis but is reticent about going through the painstaking transplant process. Mother and son made a deal: If he gets back to the majors, she'll get on the transplant list.
"I'm not willing to give up," McClung said. "And I don't want her to give up either."
Marky, who lives on a West Virginia farm, was in town a few weeks ago, bringing Madison and Fallon to watch their dad pitch in Dunedin against the Jays. Marky admits she's on "borrowed time" and wanted to see her granddaughters once more.
After the game, McClung brought his daughters out on the field and into the dugout. They took photos, him in his Pirates uniform, a moment McClung said "meant the world to me."
McClung hopes the next family portrait is in a major-league stadium, and he is willing to start in Class A if he has to. He said Rays manager Joe Maddon encouraged him to keep trying.
"How many males in this country or around the world can say the same thing — the big leagues, a girls basketball coach, come back and possibly pitch in the big leagues?" Maddon said. "That's pretty good stuff."
Marky smiled: "It'd be a miracle. But it can happen."
