The next addition to the Flame & Frost series is a speculation gold mine, with the ability to preview items on the Trading Post there will be a lot of player's searching for the perfect skins to complete their character. If you are willing to take a risk then I would highly recommend researching and investing your gold into unique weapon and armour skins.
Pretty much all of the Guild Wars 2 Trading Post tools offer the codes needed to preview an item in game, so feel free to use your favourite, I personally found Guildwarstrade.com the easiest to use.
To use the preview code, copy and paste the entire code including the brackets [] and enter them into the Guild Wars 2 chat box. I would recommend whispering these codes to yourself as the game has the habit of suppressing your messages if you type too much in a short space of time.
The items will usually appear as a blank [ ] but occasionally you will get the link to a full [name], simply right click the text and select preview to see how it looks. ( I usually have to remove my Norn's leggings to get a proper look at the item.)
Dulfy.net also has a great gallery of skins for nearly every weapon, whilst a lot of them are earned through dungeons there is still a lot that can be bought directly from the Trading Post.
- GreatSword
- Staff
- Sword
- Scepter
- Axe
- Shield
- Hammer
- Rifle
- Focus
I will personally be focusing on the off-hand market, as there is still a lot of weapons going for relatively cheap compared to other markets. My speculation won't be limited to named weapons either, I was surprised when I saw how awesome some of the dredge and godskull weapons looked!
I wouldn't be surprised if there are other low level weapons with interesting skins just waiting to be found.
The Aquatic market is also an interesting one, a lot of people don't bother about what their spears, tridents and harpoon guns look like but you would be surmised at how many great skins there are going for extremely low prices. (a lot of them have special effects as well)
Do you think the skin market will be affected by the item preview changes? will you take the risk and invest? if not, then why? share your opinion in the comments below! (or not)


text: The Coronet Peak lodge has undergone a multi million dollar makeover since the 2007 snow season. Four restaurants with one main central kitchen will serve up a variety of cuisine to skiers and boarders riding the upgraded slopes. Conference facilities are a new addition and the existing sundeck has been expanded and heated. Ticketing, storage and rental areas welcome upgraded space as does the child care facility. Overall the exterior of the lodge looks every dollar of the $30 million upgrade with timber, glass and stone combined to create a contemporary ski lodge. Taking their queue from North America's richer resorts of Aspen, Telluride and the like, Coronet Peak have created a VIP Members only club, The Peak Club, with it's own club facilities within the base lodge. Coronet Peak is traditionally the first to open in Queenstown each season and - with automated snowmaking tripled over the summer to 205 guns - snow is practically guaranteed from day one. The official launch of the new facilities is on June 28 with an opening ceremony as part of Queenstown's annual Winter Festival, a ten day event of parties and mountain mayhem that takes over the resort town. Coronet Peak is expecting record numbers for this season and with an early start to winter, the resort experienced 1.1 metres in two days last week, it will be no surprise. Please stay tuned in the coming weeks for the latest snow reports and news at New Zealand ski resorts.

Pay a monthly fee, play a lot of (probably older) Xbox games
Everything else seems to offer a subscription option, so no reason console games should be any different. Microsoft announced its new Xbox Game Pass service, which for $9.99 a month gives you access to more than 100 games. The games aren't streamed, however—the full title is downloaded on to your Xbox One; presumably if/when you cancel your subscription, any games you've downloaded as part of it are no longer playable. However, subscribers also get a discount to permanently purchasing any games in the catalog: 20 percent off games, 10 percent off add-ons.
Video and audio streaming services have been pretty successful in these sorts of unlimited access plans. Games are an even bigger time and money investment in most cases, so I can see a compelling argument from a price perspective: Microsoft's service will run $120 a year, which is the price of two new titles.
Except. The titles available in the catalog are pretty unlikely to be new, high-profile titles. Instead, they're probably mostly older titles whose heyday has passed. Note in particular that the announcement says "over 100 Xbox One and backwards compatible Xbox 360 games" [emphasis added]. Many of those games probably run more like $10-$20, which changes the value proposition to more like 6 to 12 games. 1 That's fine, if those older catalog titles are what you're interested in playing, but it's probably not as compelling to hardcore gamers who want to play the newest titles. For the more casual gaming market, though, this could be a decent deal, but either way it's not likely to be a huge shift in the gaming market.
As someone who has dialed back his gaming in recent years, this isn't super compelling—I don't need a huge catalog of games when I already have so many I haven't finished yet. (I've also learned the key trick to playing newer games: if you don't need to have them right away, you can wait a month or two and usually snag them for 30-50% cheaper.)
Halo 5 looks to be one of the more recent games on the list, having come out in 2015. But a quick look on Amazon shows you can buy it on disc for under $20. ↩

Walking into the SP Design Lab, the first thing you will see is students engaged in many different types of learning and play. Some students are teaching each other how to play Minecraft. Some students are trying the Sphero and laughing as they create challenges navigating the robotic ball. Some students are using the Osmos to create tangram designs. Some students are clustered around a table creating bracelets using rainbow looms or fingers.
The most powerful part of the Design Lab is students talking to each other irregardless of what grade they are in. Laughing, sharing, and teaching each other.

The Iraqi National Assembly took a very worrisome step by abolishing the value of Iraqis' votes in the upcoming referendum through giving two different interpretations of the word "voter" in the law that will govern the referendum and decide whether the draft constitution is ratified or not.Well, they have one week to change it back to actual voters.
The change that was introduced lately by the Assembly would call the draft constitution ratified if more than 50% of actual voters voted with "yes" but in another sentence in the same rule which states that the draft constitution would be considered rejected if two thirds of the voters in three provinces voted with "no" the word "voters" was interpreted as registered voters not actual voters.
With growing Sunni-Shia tension ahead of the vote, analysts say the tactical alliance between Shia religious parties and the Kurds looks in danger of unravelling.If analysts say it, it must be true. Why can't the BBC just stick to reporting the news?

High School Sports
N.C. Preps statewide basketball rankings released: Robinson's Lavar Batts is state's top recruit
N.C. Preps has released its updated high school basketball rankings for rising seniors, juniors and sophomores. Each is filled with Observer-area stars.
The top recruit in North Carolina is Concord Robinson point guard Lavar Batts, a 6-1 senior point guard. Batts led Robinson to the N.C. 3A state championship last season and is considered a top 100 national recruit.
Three other area players ranked among the top 10: Lincolnton's Sage Surratt (No. 5); Independence's Justyn Hamilton (No. 7); and Weddington's Ryan Schwieger (No. 8).
▪ In the 2018 class, shaping up to be one the best in state history, Providence Day point guard Devon Dotson -- who carries at least a dozen Division I offers -- is No. 1, followed by Concord's Rechon Black. Cannon's Jairus Hamilton is No. 4, Gaston Day's Nate Hinton is No. 5, Providence Day's Trey Wertz is No. 8, and Berry's Jamarius Burton is No. 10. Get complete 2018 rankings here.
Four players are considered top 50 national recruits in the class: Dotson, Black, Hamilton and Greenfield School's Coby White. White is ranked No. 3 in the state by NC Preps.
▪ In the 2019 class, several area players are ranked in the N.C. top 10: Cox Mill's Wendell Moore was No. 1, Charlotte Christian's B.J. Mack was No. 3, Rocky River's Raquan Brown is No. 4 and North Meck's Jaelyn Withers was No. 8. For the complete 2019 rankings, click here.

WATCH: What to Do if You Eat a Hot Pepper Like Jennifer Garner
Hint: it's not gulping down water!
Even the most diehard chiliheads come across a pepper that sets their mouth aflame once in a while, and it's not a pretty sight.
That's exactly what happened to green thumb Jennifer Garner recently while she was filming a tour of her backyard garden. The actress was showing off her homegrown goods when she casually took a nibble of a harmless-looking green chili pepper. No big deal, right?
"What do you think: Is it going to be hot?" she asks the camera as she tears into the little veggie. Shocked, Garner immediately spits it out. "I wish I hadn't done that. It's not funny!" she cries.
Desperate for relief, the mother-of-three heads for her garden hose, but the fire in her mouth rages on. Even a mouthful of lettuce can't extinguish it. Moments later she was clapping her hands and chanting, "Regret! Regret! Regret!" and then she was back at the garden hose gulping more water. "Not as cool as I thought I was," she wrote alongside the funny video on Instagram (below).
The scene, as we all know, can be a hilarious one, but it made us wonder what we should do the next time we have a five-alarm fire in our mouths.
According to the American Chemical Society, the worst thing you can do when your mouth is on fire is drink water. (Sorry Jennifer!)
"Water only makes it worse, similar to throwing water on a grease fire," their website reads. The solution, it turns out, is casein—the natural antidote to capsaicin, the irritant that gives peppers their heat. Casein is found in dairy, which is why scientists recommend drinking milk or eating ice cream when you can't stand the heat. Casein "surrounds the capsaicin molecules and washes them away, in the same way that soap washes away grease," the ACS writes.
So there you have it! Next time you pull a Jennifer Garner, go for a swig of milk, or better yet a nice cold spoonful of ice cream.

The Secret War: The Complete Original Series DVD
The original 1977 series of the BBC documentary exploring the 'secret war' fought behind the scenes of WWII by scientists and engineers as they strove to produce new technology.
Due to the increasingly mechanised nature of warfare, the battle to develop ever more destructive weapons was arguably as important to the outcome of the war as military tactics.
Presented by William Woolard and featuring contributions from author Reginald Victor Jones, the programme explores an era of innovation that pitted German and British scientists against one another in a race to create devices that would turn the conflict in their favour.

A memorial service is to be held in June for Property Race Day founder Derek Lucie-Smith.
Lucie-Smith was the former chief executive of Gresham House, whose love of horse racing, and in particular his association with the celebrated thoroughbred Paco Boy, led him to set up the annual summer networking event.
Lucie-Smith, affectionately known as "Del Boy", helped develop Property Race Day from an annual gathering of 400 professionals at Sandown 10 years ago to a 1,000-strong event at Ascot, which has raised £1.2m for childrens' charities.
This year's event, to be held in July, sold out within two days.
Friends and colleagues of Lucie-Smith are invited to attend the memorial service on 9 June, at The Holy Trinity Brompton, SW7, at 11.30am. A wake will be held after the service at The Phene, 9 Phene Street, SW3.
Lucie-Smith died in January after a long battle with cancer.

Woman in red
"Woman in red", oil and gold leaf on canvas 30" x 40" This painting is one of my new works currently on display at the Leyton gallery of fine art in St. John's. I am sharing the walls with Virginia Mak. The show is open until October 30, 2016. "Woman in red" is "picture in a picture" combining a figure with a still life. It is painted on canvas. Some other works in this show are on copper metal plate. Copper is very reflective and creates beautiful light effects especially in combination with transparent oil paints.

Portrait of a young girl: tribute to Vermeer, oil on copper
This portrait was one of the works in the Christmas show at the Leyton Gallery of Fine Art but it was sold even before the show was open. The portrait continues my "Tribute to Vermeer" series. There are a few more of my works in this exhibition. They are oils on copper plate. I was inspired by the paintings by old Dutch master painters including Rembrandt and Brueghel who produced fine works on copper. The paint on their old paintings never cracked like paint on canvas does and the colors remained luminescent for almost 500 years. Special properties of copper allow color to "shine from within" almost jewel like.

Johnny Manziel would have been great in 'Degeneration X'
The internet has done it again.
Here's a Johnny Manziel highlight tape that has been spliced together with the entrance video for former WWE stable "Degeneration X." You don't have to be a fan of professional wrestling to understand how incredible this is.
A brief pro wrestling history lesson: "Degeneration X" was a stable of WWE heels (bad guys) during the late 90's and early '00's who did what they want, when they want. Led by professional wrestling icons Triple H and Shawn Michaels, the faction best represented what the "Attitude Era," the peak of professional wrestling's popularity in America, was all about -- profanity, lewd behavior, and extreme entertainment.
Johnny Manziel may or may not have watched professional wrestling when he was a child, but there is no doubt that the current day "Johnny Football" would have been the perfect stable mate.

Promoting a love of reading is at the heart of our curriculum at Sycamore. We have a wide variety of texts that the children access to develop their reading which are banded into groups. Our main texts are from Bug Club. Bug Club is a powerful whole school reading programme that is proven to raise attainment in reading and spelling – and loved by over a million children in the UK. It brilliantly combines stunning books and an incredible online reading world, filled to the brim with kid-favourite characters, to hook children into a lifelong love of books and develop confident young readers. The texts are also available online so that children can access them at home on a computer or tablet.
Guided reading takes place every day and each week children will read with both the teacher and the teaching assistant. During these sessions the children will work as a group to decode text and develop their understanding of the choices authors make. Children will both ask and answer questions and make inferences from the text using both picture clues and clues from the text itself. Children read a wide variety of texts during these times including fiction, non-fiction, newspapers, graphic novels, leaflets and poetry.
Our reading scheme is Big Cat from Collins. Children will be given a book that they are able to bring home to read with an adult. Each book has suggested questions in the back to help develop your child's comprehension skills. Children have a reading diary so that you can record whenever you have read with your child.
So, what exactly is phonics?
Words are made up from small units of sound called phonemes. Phonics teaches children to be able to listen carefully and identify the phonemes that make up each word. This helps children to learn to read words and to spell words
In phonics lessons children are taught three main things:
They are taught GPCs. This stands for grapheme phoneme correspondences. This simply means that they are taught all the phonemes in the English language and ways of writing them down. These sounds are taught in a particular order. The first sounds to be taught are s, a, t, p.
Children are taught to be able to blend. This is when children say the sounds that make up a word and are able to merge the sounds together until they can hear what the word is. This skill is vital in learning to read.
Children are also taught to segment. This is the opposite of blending. Children are able to say a word and then break it up into the phonemes that make it up. This skill is vital in being able to spell words.
What makes phonics tricky?
In some languages learning phonics is easy because each phoneme has just one grapheme to represent it. The English language is a bit more complicated than this. This is largely because England has been invaded so many times throughout its history. Each set of invaders brought new words and new sounds with them. As a result, English only has around 44 phonemes but there are around 120 graphemes or ways of writing down those 44 phonemes. Obviously we only have 26 letters in the alphabet so some graphemes are made up from more than one letter.
ch th oo ay (these are all digraphs - graphemes with two letters)
There are other graphemes that are trigraphs (made up of 3 letters) and even a few made from 4 letters.
We are following a personalised phonics scheme based on Jolly Phonics with letters and sounds.

"Dear friends" is the condescendingly cordial phrase used to address the audience of MoB every evening. Here, we shall not touch on the subject of what is the proper way to treat one's dear friends.
The ambitious youngster from the town of Veliko Turnovo goofed up big-time with the simulated battery in front of a spoiled foods warehouse, whose owners' wrongdoings he was supposed to expose.
Since a lie has no legs, Dimitur got what he deserved – not just through the uproar against him on social media and internet forums, but also as he was fired from the popular show and, to add insult to injury, his colleagues awarded him the Golden Skunk prize of shame, on air.
It's quite clear that Dimitur Vurbanov is done. What matters now is what will happen with the very concept of the Masters of Broadcast show? Will the balloon of their disproportionate confidence as a pillar of civil society, upholders of truth, champions of worthy causes and defenders of the downtrodden finally burst?
If they still haven't realized that they cannot live up to their aspirations, the Halvadjiyan brothers should finally admit that comedy sketches and predictable jokes exchanged by Rachkov and Maria are not the stuff of serious journalism. And that a trendy suit and hat do not turn an ordinary correspondent into an investigative reporter.
Blame for the shattering scandal which rocked public space does not lie with Dimitur Vurbanov alone. He was conveniently turned into a scapegoat by his producers. The latter stand behind the cameras and sift the current events for all things 'unique, scandalous and sensational' and wrap them in an entertaining package, to be consumed by viewers.
Producers have the last word – they OK videos and let them on air. In the disgraceful gaffe with simulated assault against a journalist, the Masters of Broadcast ought to nominate themselves for the Golden Skunk.
Because the Halvadjiyanfief gives off a fishy smell. It smells of brawls for commercials, smells like sweaty fist fights for ratings and underhanded agreements with the top bosses at Nova TV. The credit of trust is depleted. From this point on, it's all up to the 'dear friends' sat before their TV screens…

We froze a mid week day 8:30 pm slot for our telephonic conversation. After a tiring day at work, would the person have mood to give an interview? Well, I was really skeptical about it. TO add to my apprehensions, the phone rang for longer than expected rings. I cut it and redialed again. Now, the network provider shooted an automated message "The person you have called has redirected calls to another number. Please hold on as we connect to the other number" and some "melodious" tune to keep me happy waiting Well, I thought I would try once last time and then send a mail to reschedule the interview slot.

Windows Phone 7 to Offer Free SkyDrive-Integrated Backup Service, and Find My Phone Feature
News from the Windows Phone blog informs us that the upcoming Windows Phone 7 operating system will also come with a companion website which will include an online backup of your mobile photos, Windows Live Calendar, contacts, OneNote files and other information. This free service will be hosted on SkyDrive, which offers 25 GB of online storage. It will also include a "Find my Phone" feature which lets a Windows Phone owner track a missing phone using a map, ring, lock and a remote wipe tool, all of which are accessible from any PC.
And here's the kicker – according to the blog post, all of the above is being offered for free.
That's huge! While the idea of online backup and phone tracking isn't novel by any means – there are certainly mobile applications available that offer similarity functionality – there's always a price tag that comes with such a service, in my experience. The cheapest option I've found to date was a mobile service that went for around $20/2 years – but it was for tracking only, not backup and sync. And when you look at officially supported solutions like Apple's MobileMe, the price is $99/year. Blackberry will soon start offering a free "remote wipe" tool for consumers, but it doesn't include the backup and sync either.
Arguably, the online backup and sync was one of the best features of the now-discontinued Kin phones whose "Kin Studio" provided this same type of functionality. It's good to see that this technology will now be available to all who purchase a Windows Mobile phone.
The blog post also revealed some other juicy tidbits about the new OS, although some of which we knew before…this includes news of a push notification service that lets developers deliver real-time updates to their apps and the associated "live tiles," Bing integration, details about the various "hubs," how you'll be able to access and manage the Zune PC software via Wi-Fi from your phone (wait, seriously?! wow!), Xbox LIVE integration and its "friending" function, Office integration, Web-based email integration (yes, even for Gmail) and more.
Also revealed were details about language options and Marketplace availability: During initial availability, Windows Phone 7 will support 5 languages - English, French, Italian, German and Spanish. The Windows Phone Marketplace will support the buying and selling of applications in 17 countries - Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, New Zealand, Singapore, Spain, Switzerland, UK and United States.

Startlight and Intoxicating For Pigmentation By Illusia Prestigious
Posted by JoElla Milan on 7/10/2014 to Skin Health
I have been extremely happy with Starlight and Intoxicating by Illlusia Prestigious Skin Care. My skin looks so good. My pigmentation is breaking up and slowly disappearing.
Starlight has so many hand selected healthy result oriented ingredients to help with pigmentation. It helps break up the pigmented area. It may take 6 weeks to see results, but it does work.
Intoxicating helps shed the skin of its dead skin cells. It is also very plumping and hydrating. You can feel the dead skin cells coming off, yet your skin looks more luminous. I have also used it on my California chest. It is dark and damaged. My chest has improved nicely. The dark damaged area gets smaller every day.
The products are all healthy ingredients. No hydroquinone. Just good high quality ingredients to benefit the skin.

Today we drove out to Louisville, Kentucky, from Indianapolis. It was a short little drive, right around two hours. Our plan was to first see the Louisville Slugger museum and factory. We love baseball, so we were really looking forward to this.
|Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory
The museum is in downtown Louisville, close to the Ohio River. We weren't sure where we were going to park, but once again we were very fortunate to find plenty of parking. When we are towing the truck behind the RV, we take up about three metered parking spaces. So as along as we have quarters for the meters, this works out pretty well. We wound up only about two blocks from the museum.
|Babe Ruth's bat with the notches in it
They have all sorts of baseball bat memorabilia in the museum. You can actually hold and swing the bats of some baseball greats like Mickey Mantle and Cal Ripkin Jr. They do make you wear gloves, though, to preserve the bats. There are also wax figures of Babe Ruth, Ken Griffey, Jr., and Ted Williams. The museum also has a lot of interactive exhibits, films, and artifacts. Many bats that were used in history making games are on display.
|Wax replica of the factory
The factory tour was really interesting. They don't allow pictures inside the factory, but they did have a wax replica of what part of the factory looks like (picture above). Louisville Slugger made baseball bats by hand up until 1980. It would take about thirty minutes to make a bat by hand. Today, using lathes, a bat can be made in about thirty seconds. Louisville Slugger has ONE special lathe, made in Italy, that make all the bats for Major League Baseball players that have contracts with them. Not all players have to use Louisville Slugger, but 70% of all major league players do. The signatures of all of those players that have had contracts with Louisville Slugger are on display in the museum lobby. It was fun to search for the names of the greats.
|Mickey Mantle's signature
|Bats from the 2010 All-Star & World Series winners
At the end of the museum tour, every visitor gets a mini-bat. This is definitely worth a visit if you are ever in Louisville. You can visit the Louisville Slugger Museum web site for more information.
|"Happy Birthday To You" Tribute
On the walk back to the RV, we found a unique tribute in a tiny little park. It was a tribute to Mildred Jane Hill and Patty Smith Hill. Both women were pioneers in the field of education, and Patty Hill started one of the first Kindergartens in Louisville. But their most famous achievement is the writing of one of America's most well-known songs, "Happy Birthday To You."
|Sam and his stick
Later, as we were using a dump site to flush our sanitation system, the kids were outside playing with Sam. He found a stick, one he liked very much. We had a hard time convincing him it wouldn't fit in the RV. Silly dog!
There are more pictures in the Photo Gallery, who's nose do you think Michael picked?

Lancashire bowler Glen Chapple was the guest start at the Andrew Flintoff Cricket Academy held at Bolton School. This week-long summer camp run by Activate Sport used Bolton School's facilities to coach sixty children between the ages of six and fourteen and help them to improve their cricket skills. Activities include the unique "Freddie Challenges", small-sided games, Cricket Olympics and World Cup Day. The Academy has been visiting Bolton School each summer since 2009.
Chapple's visit was one of the highlights of the week. He spoke to the children about different kinds of bowling and demonstrated a few techniques, including swing bowling. He also bowled against a few of the camp participants, much to their delight, and offered personal tips to young bowlers as they showed off their moves.
He gave a brief summary of his career from his very beginnings as a six-year-old playing on the Under-12s team – something that would not be allowed today – through to his inclusion on the Lancashire youth squads, and on into professional cricket. He mentioned his One Day International against Ireland and his record first-class century, coming off just 27 balls, though he explained that this unusual feat for a bowler was set up in order to set up a declaration.
This was followed by a lively question and answer session. The children asked about a variety of topics, from his first bat to the most challenging cricketers he had ever come up against, to whether or not he had ever played against Andrew Flintoff himself. He replied that he didn't think he had, as they had played for the same team, but that they were good friends. He was asked about the speed of his fastest ball, which he bowled at over 90 miles an hour! Chapple also discussed the amount of travel involved in first-class cricket and how much training the Lancashire team does in an average week.
One of the most interesting questions he was posed was how long it took to perfect his bowling skills. He replied that they are not perfect yet, as all skills take practise and players have to be dedicated and focused in order to improve. He added, "The trick is getting good enough while you're still fit enough to play."
This fascinating insight into the world of first-class cricket was really inspiring for the youngsters at the Cricket Academy.
The children had the opportunity to have their shirts and bats signed by Chapple before he departed.

Gigabyte Luxo M30 Case Review
Recently I was looking for cases with a list price of $60-80 when I came across the Gigabyte Luxo M30. It had a list price of $66, but as a new case it was discounted to $53. The main picture showed a black left panel, but further pictures showed a large window on the right panel, and an inverted motherboard inside. The interior appeared to have tool-free 5.25" slots and four tool-free hard drive holders. This, I said to myself, I must see. And so, dear readers, we shall explore the Luxo M30 together. Read More
Enermax 120 mm APS Fan Review
In July, 2013, Enermax announced that they had updated their fans with new three-position "APS" switches, which allow a user to select one of three peak speeds. This, in essence, allows you to buy three fans in one. Today we will be looking at three of these fans: the T.B. Vegas Quad, the Cluster Advance, and the Everest Advance. Are these truly advanced fans? Are we really looking at nine fans masquerading as three? Let's see. Read More

I started drinking coffee at an early age. Blame my Dad. When he sets his heart to it, he can make anything and I became addicted. True coffee connoisseurs (like myself) know their drink -the tried and true: black and bold. Anything else is just not coffee and instant coffee is not my kind of coffee but I took a chance and requested a sample from the Nescafé facebook fan page.
Nescafé claims I'll get the same coffeehouse taste for a quarter of the price. That's a tall order (not Starbucks pun intended). The samples arrived 6 weeks later much to my chagrin but hey, they did warn me about that. The cute red envelope came with 6 samples: Gourmet Roast, Decaf, Original, 100% Colombian, Vanilla, and Hazelnut. For six days, I ignored my Keurig and its K-cups in favor of instant coffee by Nescafé and I was pleasantly surprised. The aroma was the first thing I noticed. My cup of coffee smelled like I had put in the effort to grind fresh beans and tasted the same. The instant serving size is barely a teaspoon but packs a bold punch and a strong caffeine buzz (except for the decaf).
Nescafé lived up to its claim and I could see myself getting used to this. It's effortless to prepare. I boil water in my teapot, tear open a packet, and I've got a fresh cup of coffee vs turning on the Keurig machine, spending a lot of money on K-cups and having to go through countless vinegar flushes since the machine likes to get clogged every month or so.
I'm impressed by the flavor. My favorites were the vanilla and hazelnut. I also like that its simple and convenient. The packets can be used in house or on the go and it's faster to make a cup of coffee and less stressful than my Keurig. I think I've found a new coffee alternative.

For those keeping a close watch on the news flowing through Slyck, you may have noticed the occasional story where the URL is missing in the story even after the story is registered as 'URL seems OK' I think I figured out what causes this and how to work around this for the time being.
Basically, if you have a slightly lower speed connection (which is of the order of slower than 50MB/s ) it takes an extra second to load the page. Typically, it's the Google ads that load last and take a little bit longer to load (though that's not always the case) I've finally managed to reproduce the problem where the URL goes through despite the URL checker making sure nothing goes wrong. Basically, if you paste the URL in the line and click 'Continue' before the page load, the form will check the URL, then say it's OK (as per usual) Unfortunately, when the page finishes loading the other bar, it defaults to clearing the form, thus causing the URL to mysteriously "vanish" even though you can continue to enter the info in the rest of the fields without a problem.
So, the workaround is simple. Make sure the page is fully loaded before entering the URL or else it'll vanish in the field. You can easily make sure the URL won't vanish by making sure something is still in that field. If it's gone, just refresh the page and re-paste the info (given the feature to edit info hasn't been implemented yet)
I thought I'd post this here just so everyone can avoid this issue altogether in the small time frame between now and when the bug is fixed. Thanks for your patience.

By Barbara Marshall – Palm Beach Post Staff Writer
Posted: 7:00 a.m. Thursday, Dec. 8, 2016 (View the article on mypalmbeachpost.com here)
Every day, Matt Raptis holds Western civilization in his hands.
He can page through Captain James Cook's illustrated account of his 18th century journeys to the South Pacific, follow Charles Darwin's evolutionary reasoning in an original 1859 copy of "The Origin of Species" ($350,000), trace Don Quixote's adventures in an edition printed in 1652 ($9,800) or decide what to cook for dinner from two volumes of "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" signed by Julia Child herself ($5,500.)
Footnote: American culture, 18th to early 20th century. "The Last of the Mohicans," James Fenimore Cooper's tale of life among Native Americans in 1757 ($17,500), first edition of Mark Twain's 1885 "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," ($8,200) and a first edition of "Tender is the Night," signed by F. Scott Fitzgerald in 1934 ($65,000.)
The Raptis' keep heady company
As a child, Matt, 37, was besotted by history, especially the bloody reckoning of the Civil War.
He was still in elementary school near Saratoga, New York when he bought — not a Nintendo or skateboard or the latest cool pair of sneakers — but the first of what would become his life's passion and his career.
For $25, he purchased a first edition of General Ulysses S. Grant's two-volume memoir.
He was 11.
A collection was born. A life's course was set.
"I was always an avid reader, especially of history, and I started collecting the books I read," said Raptis.
His collection has grown to thousands of volumes worth multiple millions, carefully culled over the years during buying trips to 70 countries.
Until last month, the Raptis' ran their rare book business out of their Brattleboro, Vermont home.
In searching for a place to open their first shop, they chose Palm Beach, for the weather and proximity to family members. They settled initially in a West Palm Beach condo while deciding where to put down more permanent roots.
They opened the doors to the shop on Nov. 1.
Inside, volumes in gold-embossed red, brown and dark green leather gleam like jewels behind glass-fronted cases.
While the Raptis' purchase most of their books from fellow collectors — or their estates — they did make a remarkable discovery once in a New England bookstore.
In a New Hampshire book shop not far from reclusive author J.D. Salinger's home, they found a signed first edition of "Catcher in the Rye. They paid $1.
"It sold for $80,000," said Matt.
Like art curators, the couple also consult with rare book collectors building their collections.
"We build libraries for our clients," said Matt. "We find titles that they've been looking for for years."
Inside their jewel box of a shop are books with a Palm Beach connection, such as "Profiles in Courage, ($22,000), written by John F. Kennedy while he lay strapped to a board at his father's north end mansion following back surgery. From Jackie Kennedy's estate comes a copy of "Why England Slept" ($40,000), also written by the future president, who inscribed it to his mother, Rose Kennedy.
And there are books that influenced generations, such as a first edition of James Baldwin's raging "Go Tell It On the Mountain, ($9,800) and a hand-corrected manuscript of a speech Martin Luther King, Jr. gave in South Carolina in 1966 ($30,000.)
Less profound books are valuable for making a lasting mark on popular culture, such as a 1953 first edition of Ian Fleming's first James Bond book, "Casino Royale ($48,000) or a signed copy of Mario Puzo's first edition of "The Godfather" ($20,000.)
Pynchon, Faulkner, Hemingway, Vonnegut, Kesey and even Roald Dahl. The Raptis' have first editions of them all.
Students of economics looking for a way forward in uncertain times might find clues in the past from a wide variety of dense tomes by preeminent scholars of the dismal science.
"We specialize in economics books, as well as modern first editions," said Matt.
Would knowing that his 1776 edition of "Wealth of Nations" is priced at $32,500 have altered Adam Smith's theories on building wealth?
When current reality becomes too much, rare editions of photo books by Henri Cartier-Bresson, Eve Arnold and Ed Ruscha offer glimpses of the way we once were.
Opening a book store in the Age of Amazon is a bold move, even on one of the world's premier shopping streets.
But the Raptis' are betting that the lure of being able to see and touch their books' unique blend of history, rarity and popular culture will prove irresistible to bibliophiles.
By the way, doting grandparents looking for a Christmas gift might want to pick up a copy of the children's classic, "The Very Hungry Caterpillar."
The Raptis' have a rare signed first edition version of Eric Carle's most popular book for $27,500.

"Jesus, Money and You" (John MacDiarmid)
Sermon preached at Poole Christian Fellowship on 3 February 2013
Listen to this talk (or download – right-click here and 'Save as'):
Reference: Luke 12 v 13-34
The passage opens with a question from one of the crowd. In fact it was quite within the rules of convention for someone with a question or a grievance about the law to go to the Rabbi for an opinion or a judgement.
But in this case, as often with Jesus, he sees beyond the question to the issue behind the question.
The things we bring to Jesus are not necessarily the things he would see as a priority for us. There is a far more important issue behind the man's request than the one he brings up. The real issue is greed, his attitude to possessions and especially to money. And this is the main theme of what we are looking at today.
1. Focus on the Fool (v13-21)
Jesus doesn't say that the questioner is a fool – but he certainly deals with him very abruptly, and then tells a parable about a man who God calls a fool – so draw your own conclusion!
The main point of this section is a warning: Beware! Just as Jesus warned previously that we should beware of false religion and hypocrisy so he is now warning us to beware of something that will sap our spiritual life, keep us away from God and cause us to lose out in eternity: Greed, in all its various forms This is someone who uses what God has given him not to bless others but to build up a false security for himself, that he will never get to enjoy anyway! How many people are going through exactly that cycle?
This parable hits home not only to those who are well off, but to those who are less so. The question that we all have to answer is – what do we do with what God has given us?
The answer is that what we should be "rich towards God".. This means that with everything God gives us, time, gifts, possessions and above all money we need to be generous to him. After all…it belongs to Him anyway!
2. Focus on the Father (v22-31)
Part of the reason that we think like the fool sometimes is that we have not experienced God as our Father.
Worry is a direct result of not trusting our Father. When we worry we are effectively saying to our Father: I don't trust you to look after my interests. I need to take care of them myself. Jesus shows through a serious of illustrations how foolish this is. The antidote: we seek first his kingdom: that means that in every decision we make, we put first the interests not of ourselves but of the kingdom of God. And God promises that when we do this, every single need of ours will be taken care of. What a deal!
3. Focus on the Future (v 32-34)
Finally Jesus wants us to focus on the future. Note the tender way in which he addresses his flock "Do not be afraid little flock" is full of compassion and love.
He says that God has given us the Kingdom – all the benefits of God's government are ours, now and in eternity. And because we have everything in eternity we can be confident in the present. We do not need to store up for ourselves treasures on earth – we have treasures in heaven which will never perish, spoil or fade. Let's work for treasure that lasts for eternity.

Bhangin' It
Bhangin' It draws inspiration from the high-stakes world of intercollegiate competitive bhangra - a traditional Indian folk dance morphed into a good ole American dance-off. The story follows a biracial student, Mary, who gets kicked off her bhangra team for not being "Indian enough". When she forms a team of her own, cultural authenticity and cultural pluralism are set on a collision course in this brash, intoxicating and gripping new musical.

Generally associated with core temperatures >104°F (>40°C), though heat stroke can occur at lower core temperatures.
Diagnosis rests on the observation of hyperthermia in the presence of profound CNS dysfunction.
Medications may predispose patients to heat stroke (e.g., diuretics, antihypertensives).
Early cooling reduces mortality and morbidity, and should be initiated as soon as possible.
Evaporation and ice water immersion are both widely used as cooling methods.
Patients are at risk of multisystem organ failure, so careful monitoring is essential even after return to normothermia.
This topic covers the management of both heat stroke and heat exhaustion in adults
Heat stroke is defined as hyperthermia in the setting of CNS dysfunction. The core temperature with heat stroke is >104°F (>40°C), and typically ranges from 104°F to 111.2°F (40°C to 44°C), although higher core temperatures have been reported. Heat stroke can however occur at lower core temperatures. It should be suspected in the setting of high heat stress, through either exertion or environmental factors.
Heat exhaustion is a milder form of heat illness, where profound CNS disturbance is absent. In this case the core temperature is elevated (98.6°F to 104°F [37°C to 40°C]) but to a smaller extent than in heat stroke.

Today, we're going to be talking about one of the exceptions, one that actually predates Black Flag's Damaged by about a year, from a band further up the west coast that were a fair bit more political, but possibly dating themselves in the process, a band that had a legit underground single that led this record to actually move units and win certifications, even spots on the UK charts! But of course it came with a fair amount of controversy, protests, and holds a much more contentious spot in the hardcore canon. But when it comes to bands bridging the gap between traditional punk and hardcore, they do deserve attention, even if they're far from the purest expression of the genre. In other words... strap in, folks, we're talking about Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables by Dead Kennedys, and this is Resonators!
So a few things need to be established before we go further, most notably that in comparison with the records Dead Kennedys would release after this, they weren't quite a pure hardcore punk band just yet, still owing a fair amount to acts like The Sex Pistols, to which comparisons were made incessantly by the critics of the time. And on that subject, for as much as many today have celebrated Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables as a landmark record in defining the hardcore of the 1980s, it wasn't really critically acclaimed at the time, certainly not to the same extent Damaged was and still is. Sure, people love it now, but at the time the band was heavily criticized for good ideas and interesting framing but not living up to their potential, a messy project not helped by frontman Jello Biafra's eccentric vocal delivery.
So where does that leave me, as someone not part of that critical establishment or among the hardcore punk fans that would canonize the record? Honestly, somewhere in the middle, mostly because it's a very different sort of animal than Damaged would be a year later. For one, while the record would embrace the brutality, nihilism, and abbreviated song lengths that would characterize much of the hardcore movement, there is still very much a foot in traditional punk, mostly characterized by embracing more melody and slightly more traditional song structures, with the most prominent example being their 'cover' of Elvis Presley's 'Viva Las Vegas', which in the grand tradition took classic archetypes and basic song structures of 50s rock and used the language of sarcastic deconstruction to show the ugly underbelly of the anthem Elvis had created. This gave Dead Kennedys a few standout strengths, the biggest being accessibility - going back to Damaged again, even despite Black Flag having a token few songs that might get alternative crossover success, the record as a whole didn't really fit in that lane, especially its dour and gripping final third. Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables, meanwhile, despite embracing some similar subject matter, utilized the band's uncanny knack for hooks to pull together a catchier record, and by placing the smash single 'Holiday In Cambodia' near the very end of the project, the sequencing made this record much easier to revisit as a whole, especially as they seemed to have more of a sense of humor and were determined to mock the systems that would give them real success even despite making hardcore punk. It certainly isn't as visceral as Damaged, but that was also part of its appeal, smuggling similar ideas and even more explicit political commentary in a more attractive package.
But by introducing the politics, we also have to consider the question of relevancy, because it's been nearly forty years since this album was released, and there are definitely references that feel linked to their times. The biggest example of this is 'California Uber Alles', a track explicitly targeting Governor Jerry Brown of California and the spread of 'California values' across the United States, the sort of anti-liberal screed that put forward an idea of left-leaning authoritarianism with their political correctness and what Biafra would describe as a 'zen fascism'. Now for as much as this reads as absolutely absurd now with historical context, it does make a twisted sort of sense, especially coming out of the late 70s, with the failures of Jimmy Carter to revitalize the U.S. economy in the face of stagflation and the California culture industry scrubbing the hippie ideal down to a veneer of what it once could have meant - and man, if you took a look at what happened to mainstream music around 1979 and 1980, I completely get where Biafra's anger might have come from. At the same time, with the rise of Ronald Reagan out of California and the hard right shift that would come thanks to the boomers in the 1980s, even Biafra would realize this song is more conspiracy theory that social commentary, to the point where just a year later they'd remake it as 'We've Got A Bigger Problem Now' addressing Reagan - but it doesn't help Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables to have that smack in the middle. And this is where I'm going to bring back my 'three p's for great political art: precision, power, and populism, and while Dead Kennedys have the the power, the snide mockery of everything doesn't exactly help their populism and you rapidly realize their arguments might be more sensationalistic that accurate, which makes it hard to appreciate more of their messages. Yes, 'Kill The Poor' is a potent track, taking the hypothesis of a neutron bomb that uses more radiation than fiery destruction to wipe out the poor, and I get the transgressive idea that they'll even get liberals on board by using Jane Fonda and playing to white NIMBY ideas... but even with Cold War paranoia heating up again, it pushes feasibility, even if it is playing to parody rapacious capitalism.
But that's the dangerous line that Dead Kennedys walk on this record: interesting political and social commentary, but when the implication are not thought through, they're harder to take seriously, especially when juxtaposed with more straightforward wild nihilism and drenched in satire that stripped out of the context of the time could be played straight by the last audience Dead Kennedys want. And let's not act like this couldn't or didn't happen: as much as punk as a whole trends left politically, there were right-leaning punks and skinheads that existed in the counterculture since the very beginning, and given punk's deconstructionist nature, it's not hard to see how when recontextualized without satire or the benefit of history, songs off this album could be played straight and certain audiences wouldn't bat an eye. That's where the sloppiness hurts this album, and while I get it - I sure as hell didn't have an eye for nuanced politics when I was in my early 20s like the rest of the band here - but it does hurt the replay value on certain songs, even 'Holiday In Cambodia'. Yes, I can appreciate the criticism of privileged armchair college kid activism, it's not like that has gone away, but it hurts your cause when a.) you yourself are getting details wrong, b.) by referencing the Khmer Rouge and other political strife around the world you're engaging in principle in a similar brand of detached awareness activism, and c.) none of this is helped by the heavier veneers of sarcasm, satire, and nihilism around all of it, all of which hurts any populist call to action - also, dropping the n-word on the first verse with the hard 'r' doesn't exactly help! And sure, Black Flag had the same sense of disconnected nihilism on Damaged, but beyond broad anti-establishment strokes, they weren't trying to be political, so it feels more universally resonant and relevant today. That's not saying Dead Kennedys don't land punches - I live in Toronto, and 'Let's Lynch The Landlord' certainly connects given the insanity of our real estate scene, and the broad strokes of sarcastic antipathy on songs like 'Forward To Death', 'Your Emotions', 'Stealing People's Mail', 'Ill In The Head', and especially 'I Kill Children' do have some transgressive edge - but it's less consistent and given the level of detail Dead Kennedys bring, you wind up wishing they connected more.
Of course, a huge part of that comes when you look at the compositions and instrumentation, because as I already mentioned, Dead Kennedys wrote some really damn catchy and infectious punk songs here, hardcore or otherwise. I know a lot of critics gave Jello Biafra mixed reviews for his vocals, and yeah, the yodeling warble he's got going on does take some getting used to, but it's distinctive enough to carry these tunes and he can get pretty wild if necessary. The larger problem with the vocal delivery is more around diction and production - if he's going to spit through songs that are so damn quick throughout the midsection of this album, it would do the band a favour to make them a little more consistently audible. And while we're on the subject of mixing, I will give the band a lot of credit for keeping the bass grooves developed and punchy, especially when the guitar leads have a little more melodic structure, but this is where we hit an odd contradiction with Dead Kennedys on this record, because for as much as the band adapted and twisted traditional song structures, it leads to some slightly mixed results when they either hew a little too closely or they fly entirely off the rails. In the one hand, you get the 'Viva Las Vegas' cover, which is a good sneering joke but really should not have ended the album, or the waltz-esque breakdown on 'Chemical Warfare' that doesn't do the song any favours - but on the other hand, when the songs have less of that structure pulling from surf rock or rockabilly, there's no way around how some of these tracks feel like fragments or kind of sloppy around the edges. That's not saying there aren't songs that work - l love the solo on 'Let's Lynch The Landlord', the twisted pre-chorus melody on 'Drug Me' is great, and as much as I have serious issues with the content, the nasty riffs on 'California Uber Alles' are pretty damn sweet. Hell, for pure hardcore shredding I really dug 'Funland At The Beach' and 'When Ya Get Drafted', and it's unquestionable that 'Holiday In Cambodia' stands head-and-shoulders above not just the majority of this record, but so many hardcore punk singles - it's a killer song with phenomenal melodic interplay and a great hook, if Dead Kennedys had only given us that, it might have been enough.
But as a whole, going back through Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables, I can definitely see why it was more popular than many of the hardcore records that would come after them - it's catchy as sin, the vocals are eccentric but they grow on you, and the content has a wicked sense of dark humor and a lot of flair. If anything, it suffers many of the pain points you'll hear on lots of debut punk records: sloppiness around the edges, inconsistent production, and political messaging that doesn't always stick the landing. That's not saying this record is bad - not by any stretch, I'd argue it's pretty damn good - but it is more noticeably flawed and definitely shows its age nearly forty years later, and yet even if I was to evaluate this in 1980, it's a little hard to ignore the missteps in messaging that even the band themselves would seek to rectify. As such, for me, this is a very strong 7/10 - definitely good and probably essential to explaining the transition between punk and hardcore, but also showing some of the strain of that shift. And yet for a half hour of blistering, hook-driven punk, you can definitely get a lot worse - so yeah, check it out!

Key Stage 3
English is a vital subject for all pupils and, therefore, at Forest Moor there is a great deal of focus placed on all aspects of English. English lessons are taught through an individualised learning approach, where possible, focusing on areas of student interest.
We also teach our students about the joys and entertainment of literature. We know our learners very well and, as such, we are able to select literature which suits our students' interests, these can range from texts such as 'A Sound of Thunder' by Ray Bradbury to 'The Tell Tale Heart' by Edgar Allan Poe.
Specific attention in school is given to spelling, reading, punctuation and grammar, with all of KS3 having access to targeted interventions to address any gaps in learning or areas where a student may have fallen behind their peers.
Pupils are assessed at the end of every half term with a piece of composition and a piece of comprehension work based around the topic they have been studying. The assessed piece of writing varies in styles; such as newspaper reports; story writing; instructions, etc. We also look at a variety of question types within the reading task focusing on concepts such as text extraction, multiple choice, inference, etc. These assessments are then marked and moderated by a variety of the teaching staff to ensure accurate levels for all pupils.
We strive to have all of our students undertaking a relevant and achievable qualification in English once they move up to their Key Stage 4 education. All of the skills and strategies taught at KS3 level are in place in order to give our students the foundations to go on to great success in their English education.

Grass-Fed Lamb from New Zealand
Frenched 8-Rib Grass-Fed Lamb Racks
In Two-Piece Packs Choose 16-18oz, 18-20oz, or 20-22oz Racks
New Zealand
Lamb racks are the most prized lamb cut – in fact widely considered one of the most elegant meat cuts available. They are known for their succulent, tender meat, delicious flavor, and elegant bone-in presentation whether served whole, as portions, or chops. These racks have been expertly Frenched (their bones are cleaned of meat & membranes), and the meat's ends squared off, for a presentation worthy of the best fine dining restaurants.
Chef Ready
All cuts in the Ovation Chef Ready Lamb program are hand selected for top quality; immaculately trimmed for 100% yields (no trimming required before you cook them) and top notch presentation; and then weighed, piece by piece, to ensure exact adherence to advertised weight ranges.
It is common in other programs to weigh multi-piece packs and average the weight out for ranging purposes. This means it is possible for large & small cuts to meet the weight range while being individually off specifications. Ovation's Chef Ready process ensures that every piece is consistently the right size.
Ovation lamb is 100% grass-fed & pasture raised free range in New Zealand. No hormone or antibiotic growth promotants are ever used, and GMOs are illegal in New Zealand. All cuts in this program are aged for 96 hours before blast freezing – longer than other lamb programs – in order to bring the lamb to the pinnacle of tenderness & flavor.
Grass-fed lamb is lower in saturated fat and higher in healthy vitamins, omega-3 fatty acids, and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) than grain-fed lamb.
Store Ovation Chef Ready lamb racks in your freezer until you're ready to use them, then thaw as many packs as you need.
Lamb racks are often roasted whole, turned into crown roasts, or sliced into chops for grilling, broiling, or roasting. They are often crusted with herbs and/or spices for extra flavor. Check out our herb crusted lamb rack recipe for a good example.
Lamb pairs well with flavors like garlic, citrus (orange, lemon or preserved lemons), thyme, olives, onions, rosemary, cumin, spinach, curry spices, peas and/or mint.
Recommended Cooking Temps:
Rare - 135°
Medium Rare - 140°-150°
Medium - 140°-145°
Medium Well - 160°
Well Done - 165° and above

Bermagui is an extremely popular location for whale watching and one of the best places to enjoy this truly magnificent sight, is from the verandah of the Bermagui Beach Hotel.
The whale watching season extends from late September to late November. Each year, humpback whales and other species migrate south along Australia's east coast after spending several months in warmer waters where they mate and give birth.
During the season, the Humpback, the Southern Right Whale, the Pygmy Right whale, Minke Brydes and the False Killer Whale can be seen off Bermagui. In recent years, pods of the endangered blue whales, and out to sea, Orca and Sperm whales have been sighted.
The unique experience of seeing humpback whales feeding is unforgettable. Shrimp and fish are herded by up to four to six whales, the humpbacks then each take turns at diving and lunging upwards through the densely packed prey with their mouths wide open. Previously, this had only been seen in Antarctic waters.

Mabus suggests some BP oil spill money go to Gulf states
GULFPORT — Ray Mabus chose the Ken Combs Pier to announce to Mississippi the plan for restoring the Gulf he presented to President Obama today asks Congress to send some of the BP penalty money here.
Mabus is the Secretary of the Navy, but Obama also assigned Mabus the task of overseeing a plan for the Gulf recovery. And Mabus said it recommends asking Congress to send a "significant portion" of the penalty BP will pay for violating The Clean Water Act to the five Gulf states hit hard by the spill.
Otherwise, he said, the money would go to a federal oil-spill trust fund and wait for the next spill.
If things go according to plan, Congress would set up a council with state and federal representation to oversee the money and make sure it goes to the people hurt by the oil spill. The plan also calls for a smaller amount to be sent to the states to manage.
