by PHILIP WHITE - This was published as "Put A Cork In It" in The Independent Weekly on 29 August 2008
Amorim, the transnational rubber trader which ships more cork bark than anyone else, is smarting. Having lost Australia's wine market to the superior screw cap - meaning the dominoes of Britain and the USA will also inevitably fall - the fat Portuguese outfit used the Olympics in a desperate attempt to secure the Chinese wine market.
Obsessed with European tradition it can copy, if not simply purchase, the fledgling Chinese wine industry still loves the romance of cork. Exporters of Australian wines must step backwards to enter China: wines sold safely under screwcaps in the rest of the world are not acceptable to the Chinese unless they're corked. Which is temporary, given China's incredible advancements in the packaging of other foods and beverages.
China grows more grapes than Australia. If it finds the water to replace our evaporating Chateau Murray-Darling, China will soon be selling cheap wine to Australia. It will then learn the advantages of screw caps, because we won't want cork unless it's in platform shoes.
Our heroic Coles is teaching this lesson to the Old World, by purchasing larger volumes of wine provided it's under screw. The best value sangiovese available here is Vintage Cellars' "Chalk Board" $15 chianti - the first wine from that huge region to be screwcapped. To reward the producer's investment in the bottling technology, the opening order was 2000 dozen. Similarly, the first Rioja screwcaps are on the water. This is just the beginning.
Amorim did a sweaty deal with China, through its biggest winery, Great Wall, to ensure all wine served at the Olympics was sealed with "natural cork". Swarming, no doubt, with all manner of completely natural greeblies, cork being the spongiform bark of the oak, Quercus suber, which structurally resembles a multi-story five-star hotel for microscopic vermin. Unless, of course, the cork is chlorine-bleached, which converts some of those tiny varmints to the dreaded cat-piss/rat's nest cork taint appropriately called trichloranisole. Amorim consistently claims to have put an end to this infection, but none of the corked wines and whiskies I taste swab clean.
Amorim claims cork is an environmental triumph, preaching on TV ads and the internet that screwcaps threaten the arcadian bliss of the cork groves of the western Mediterranean, and the serene, pristine peasants who tend them. Not to mention the sacred habitat of the blessed lesser-spotted cork dotterel and the freckled pigmy plug sloth.
"One of the world's greatest examples of sustainable development" Amorim calls the cork racket.... "wine producers looking to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions can address these aspects as a matter of priority". So screw caps trigger farting? Pull the other one. Given Portugal's history of specialization in such delicacies as conquering and colonisation, one may wonder whether Amorim envies China's attitude to human rights and censorship.
The beer industry used the Olympics to stage a collision of the great tectonic plates of suds. Anheuser-Busch is America's biggest brewer. It makes 48.5 percent of US beer, and owns Budweiser, the world's biggest-selling beer. Not to mention 50 percent of Grupo Modelo, Mexico's biggest brewer (with Corona, number five globally), and 27 percent of Tsingtao, China's biggest. Budweiser was a major Olympics sponsor. Like Chinese beer, Bud's made from rice as much as barley, so it's lighter and simpler and suited to markets that accept only corked wines or beer you can't drink without jamming a chunk of lemon down its neck.
On a greenbucks clutch equal to Amorim's, Budweiser boasts of being the world's largest recycler of aluminum cans. It's like Banrock Station saving the Murray. I'm green, therefore I deserve.
InBev, the Belgian brewer which set up shop in 1366, is the biggest global brewer, with over 200 brands, like Stella Artois, Beck's, Leffe, Hoegaarden, Skol, Quilmes, Brahma, Staropramen, Sibirskaya Korona, Chernigivske, Sedrin, Cass, Jupiler and whatnot. It's now adding Anheuser-Busch to its list. Anheuser-Busch Inbev will own the thirst of China, USA, Russia, Brazil and Germany.
While Beck's is brewed here by Lion Nathan (whose foray into the wine business is not completely cool), Stella is brewed by Fosters. Like the local Heineken, they're not European at all. So scour the atlas of the new leviathan's holdings. Jeez, look Ma, there's a great big hole here called Australia! Since it was still Interbrew, years ago, InBev has ogled the Fosters apple. So why would you let Fosters make your prime product taste like Melbourne beer when you could simply buy it - Fosters - whip up its dull suds, and ensure your Aussie Stella tastes more like a racy Belgian premium?
If/when Anheuser-Busch Inbev buys Fosters, which it may well do on its way home from China, it will reverse our dumb brewers' disastrous forays into wine. There'll be feathers all over the chookhouse when Fosters' wineries hit the block.

How much this "writer" has received from the screw cap producers? For me this is not an exempt article. Related to the sustainability matters i prefer to "save Miguel". You can "save Miguel" to in http://www.savemiguel.com/ Miguel is cork oak tree, go and see.

Brilliant article! Though not the perfect solution, screw caps are the best closure currently available. Patrick Stowe Rimu Grove Winery

There sure will becasue Constellation's wineries will hit the block first. Maybe the resulting rerating of the production facilities values might make wine profitable again....

Thanks Jose for that carefully worded and intelligent comment and accusation. Another smart move by Amorim!

I love it when someone like Philip White lays it into these bark floggers - the idea that cork is tradition and that tradition is good; ergo bark is good needs to be laid to rest. Cork bark belongs with other grand traditions like drowning witches, stonings and absolute monarchs. Using cork bark to stopper a bottle is like burning coal to make power, whereas a screwcap is akin to a nice clean and modern solar panel.
Posted by Awinelover on 4/09/2008 12:44:30 PM
Without any reference to AWRI taste trials or other objective measures, this rant completely ignores the Australian invention - Pro Cork. This closure uses the benefits of cork in aging wines and the prophylactic properties of a cellulose barrier to prevent TCA. A great closure and market appreciated all in one. Get up to scratch Mr White!
Posted by Bachanaussie on 4/09/2008 1:13:17 PM
yesterday we opened a bottle of expensive Chardonnay under a Diam cork, a glued together product, it was as badly cork tainted as I have seen - the sooner we get over corks the better. Perhaps we could save Miguel's ancestors by going all the way back to sticking a wax soaked stick in the bottle!

Independent weekly? Pfft.. don't kid me!! "Superior screwcaps" yes, that's a very independent statement. "The cork racket"?!?! What is cork some kind of mob deal? Obviously Philip White is well paid by Stelvin and The Independent Weekly is not quite as independent as it thought.

Jose, what the writer has received from screw cap producers is untainted wine, which is far more environmentally friendly than having to send twice the amount of sample stock.
Posted by Christophe P on 5/09/2008 11:45:11 AM
Its amazing how emotional this debate is! What happened to objective and sound information based on technical facts?! It would be good to see White focus on what really counts - how to ensure the end consumer receives the wine in perfect condition! A good closure solution should provide a consistent and taint free seal and be suitable for the wine style. This includes ensuring oxygen ingress over the closure match the intended sensory profile of the wine. Alternative closures are becoming increasingly popular in todays wine world as they have a lot to offer, but its interesting to note that on a global scale more wines are sealed with synthetic closures than with screw caps.

Phil, Get an education before you try to pontificate, maybe even do some research. Your ignorant perception of how TCA is formed is matched by your ignorance of the Chinese wine market. For examples, Great Wall is not the 'biggest Chinese winery'...Changyu is much bigger. Secondly, China only grows more wine grapes than Australia if you include all the table varieties as used for wine, which Chinese winemakers do, so you are only technically correct. And most grapes are grown in places even less suitable than the Hunter Valley, where it regularly pisses down just before vintage, so mouldy grapes are the norm. The only thing they do right is insist on cork, which is environmentally a more responsible closure than screw caps, no matter which way you try to spin it. Screw caps cannot match natural cork for regulated oxygenation during maturation in the bottle, essential to develop complexity in a quality red wine, and unattainable with a metal widget.
Posted by Dingo on 5/09/2008 1:35:02 PM
Phil, TCA is present in water. Drink some Adelaide water and let me know what you think about it. Put the fault in cork is very easy. To be clear, I don't care about the closure. I drink wine because like the experience, the brand the stlye, etc, not because of the closure. Corks have problems, as screwcap have. What is your reaction when you open a bottle of white wine and you feel a strong suphides odour coming out ? Do you complaint about the screwcap ?
Posted by Abagail korouplis on 8/09/2008 1:03:37 PM
The comments from Abagail Korouplis and Gazza from Vic relate to each other in that TCA in wine can have other sources than just the cork. The chlorine component of TCA can come from water or any number of chemical compounds present in the environment which might have somehow got in contact with the wine at any point during the production process from the vineyard on. On at least some occasions cork might be unfairly getting the blame for tainted wine. On wine maturation, wines can mature and develop perfectly well under screwcap, but when a cork does what is is supposed to it can be considered part of the aging process in itself, like a barrel, making a unique contribution to the aged wine.
Posted by TM on 10/09/2008 10:25:03 AM
Dear Phillip White, First, I would like to know how much is the screwcaps lobby paying you. It is not that what you have written is mostly bullshit and non-scientifically based, but the tone in which you write must mean that even being paid, you are powerless against nature. Yes, because there is a war being faught between alternative closures (not substitues) and natural ones. ALWAYS PREFER WHAT IS NATURAL! So, if you defend your positions that fiercly (even though they are false), I wonder how much is your reputation worth in dollars... Unfortunately, you also do not know anything at all about China: the milenar culture which privileges natural material for the food product whose consumption is developing most in the last years is indeed a deep, intelligent one. Even at humannity's highest level like Olympics, this has been recognised. How can you argue with that? Poor you, frustrated writer without any level at all... Thanks God Australia is a proven failure as a wine producer in the World, keep producing your soda kind of drink, and let the world enjoy the real pleasures in life. Ah, and again: get a job and a life, Mr. White!

If you want to see how desperate the corkistas are becoming with all this environment nonsense, have a look at this "unbiased" BBC report: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7623912.stm ...It seems to me the environment would be very well without men going about tearing the bark from trees.

A ride through the history and nature of Tuscany...
The mystical beauty of the hill country surrounding Florence has always been a special place. For those that wish to explore beautiful the beautiful region on horseback, but prefer a Western style of riding, we have put together these most relaxing and lovely treks that explore the Chianti, Monte Giovi mountain range and many of the vineyards in the vicinity of Florence. The villa offers horse lovers a typical farmhouse made of stone, surrounded by verdant green pastures and the beautiful Tuscan olive groves from which the farm makes their own olive oil. The house originated from a watch tower which once belonged to the Guidi Counts during the 11th Century and guests are welcomed into a friendly, calm and relaxed country atmosphere, far removed from the formality of hotels in the city. Combining a relaxing Western equestrian experience with the wonderful and rustic ambiance of the farm and the excellent Tuscan style Italian cuisine - you will be delighted in every sense during your stay!
Our partner has organized popular riding holidays for over 20 years now. Franco Melis – a skilled guide and horseman with many years of experience – runs this beautiful estate situated in the Italian province of Pontassieve, only 20 kilometres from Florence. The centre is well known in Italy and throughout Europe for its quality horses and guides. His rides take place in the midst of their typical Tuscan countryside - olives, vines and woods surrounding charming farms, villas, and ancient towers and castles. You can opt for daily "star rides", the stationary program, or a combination of 3 days at the farm followed by a 3 day trek creating a progressive itinerary.
Progressive Ride (no camping) Ride with Western Tack
Sample Itineraries - Subject to changes.
Depending on the dates that you travel, your ride will follow one of three trails below.
The trails are structured so that Saturday through Tuesday include 3 days of riding in the surrounding hills and a return to the center for a lovely Tuscan dinner with Chianti wines. Then you take off for a 3 day trek across country with 2 overnights at local country inns or villas.
The Treks
Trekking groups consist of between 6 and 9 people and are accompanied by a guide over the entire journey, and another one that rejoins them in the evening with the luggage and necessary equipment. Each day we cover between 25 and 30 kilometres, averaging 5-7 hours per day, including a stop for a lunch which is prepared fresh each morning and carried in saddlebags. The riders sleep in typical, clean and well kept farmhouses, and in the evening enjoy a meal of traditional local dishes. In some of these houses double rooms are available - in others, the rooms are multiple. The horses stay in paddocks or stables close by.
Three Progressive Trail options:
Sample Itinerary: MONTE GIOVI TRAIL
The Monte Giovi is a mountain range in the vicinity of Florence, which reaches an altitude of 982 metres. Thanks to both its extraordinary natural beauty and the historical sources dating from Etruscan and Roman times up until the recent partisan war found here, Monte Giovi is one of the most valued beauty spots in Tuscany. The name comes from Latin, being the Sacred Mountain dedicated to Jupiter. The Monte Giovi is a national Park with a protected area of 19,000 hectares.
Trail: On Wednesday you will set off for the trek, on horseback all day and provided with a packed lunch. The night will be spent in a farmhouse situated in the mountain forests. Passing through the Chianti vineyards of the beautiful Vetrice villa, we follow the River Sieve past the village of Rufina - famous for its wines - and forge the river twice. On the middle day you climb to the top of the mountain range along age-old wooded paths and on reaching the top will be astounded by breath-taking views of the whole of the Chianti valley, the valley of the Arno and of Mugello. The trek back to Vallebona is a dive into the landscapes and nature of a Tuscany unknown to mass tourism but rich with pleasant surprises such as the villa and chapel of Petroio, a tiny 12th Century hamlet perfectly conserved. On the last day the picnic will be consumed on the banks of a fresh-water lake..
Sample Itinerary: SAPORE DEL CHIANTI TRAIL
Sample Itinerary: SAPORE DEL CHIANTI TRAIL
A journey through the tastes and flavours of authentic Tuscany
This star ride aims to be an adventure through the culinary history of Tuscany, experiencing a carefully chosen selection of vineyards, villas and castles on horse-back. Immersing yourself in a place so rich with history and culture that time ceases to exist. Imagine yourself riding through medieval castles surrounded by infinite countryside and olive groves, while sampling local delights of food and wine. This trip aims to deepen the knowledge of the experienced rider on the ways of traditional Tuscan life.
During this star ride we a visit a selection of different wineries, villas and castles for tastings and typical lunches each day. We ride through rolling hills with olive groves, cypress trees and vineyards. We return to Vallebona each evening for dinner.
Saturday: Arrival and dinner.
Sunday: we ride for 2 hours, 1 hour lessons and 1 hour ride, during ride visit at cellars Lavacchio, with wine tasting.
Monday: a long 5 hours ride with lunch at castle Nipozzano.
Tuesday: 2 hours ride. Today we visit another cellar in an stately Villa for the wine tasting.
Wednesday: we ride for 5 hrs, stop at Agriturismo for lunch, on the way back we stop for homemade ice cream at a little restaurant in the woods.
Thursday: a day off for a visit to Florence and to prepare for the long day's ride tomorrow.
Friday: 6 hours ride. Today we stop at castle Trebbio, from the Medici era. Visit of the cellars, lunch with wine tasting.
Saturday: Breakfast, departure.
Trail has 5 riding days, 2x 2 hrs. and 3x 5-6 hrs.
Sample Itinerary: COLLINE DI FIESOLE TRAIL
A trek, which passes over the Tuscany hills, through ancient vineyards and olive groves, with visits to traditional wine cellars. This trek is based very much on the area surrounding Vallebona, in the centre of the Rufina and Pomino Chianti wine area. It is an ideal small trek, also for those who wish to combine riding with rest, sport with culture.
Trail: Saturday arrival and settling in to Vallebona. Sunday we start with a lesson in the arena and then a hack in the surrounding countryside.
Over the following days, Monday and Tuesday, we will take you for rides around the farm. The first three days you will return to Vallebona in the evenings, and be greeted by the typical cuisine of our cook.
Wednesday will see the start of the trekking, with all-day rides and pauses for picnic lunch. You will stay overnight in a charming "Agriturismo" belonging to friends of ours, in a perfect farming style, situated 10km from Fiesole .
During the trek you will visit the famous Villa Demidoff and its monumental Park, and stop for lunch at Castello del Trebbio, where we will also visit the cellars for a "wine tasting".
The well-being and sound preparation of our horses is of prime importance to us. Our
horses are capable of teaching basic skills to absolute beginners as
well as being able to accompany and entertain more advanced riders.
Vallebona has 35 horses of different breeds (Maremma, Quarter horse, Sardinian anglo-arab), all of which have been trained or re-trained following the principles of "natural horsemanship" to guarantee maximum physical and psychological condition and reliability.
The horses are not restricted to lonely stables but live altogether outside in the fields, which allows them to remain healthy, both physically and mentally. Their diet is constantly monitored and their work regime adapted individually according to age and condition.
The same attention is given to the relationship between horses and riders so as to guarantee each guest the best suited workmate. You may use a variety of horses throughout the holiday or chose to stay with one favorite, it is up to you!
Western-style here is predominant, although English is also available. There is a large outdoor riding arena (35 meters by 75 meters). The arena is a panoramic viewpoint and overlooks the Val de Sieve. Riding lessons are available in English, German and Italian. The lessons are organizes according to experience.Trekking groups consist of between 6 and 9 people and are accompanied by a guide over the whole journey, and another one that rejoins them in the evening with the rucksacks and necessary equipment.. Each day we cover between 25 and 30 kilometers, averaging 5-7 hours per day, including a stop for a lunch which is prepared fresh each morning and carried in saddlebags. During our overnight stays on the trek the horses stay in paddocks or stables close by.
The center is located 372 meters above sea level, so it is cooler on summer evenings and then not too chilly in the winter. The highest expected temperatures in the peak of summer may reach 33 C / 91 C and the lowest expected temperatures in the peak of winter could see 0 C / 32 F. Most rainfall occurs in Spring and Fall.

Hello, telis13 and welcome to the Forums. I can try to help you with this, if I can. I realize you have an OEM Laptop and specs are not easy to find, but I would like you to put as detailed system specs as you can under the System specs at the lower left of your last post. It will help us help you. I specifically need to know in this case whether you have a discreet graphics card as well as the on CPU graphics, and whether your laptop uses switchable graphics. This is what I usually post for system specs and maybe it will help you.
Please fill out your System Specs
Your System Specs will help us to help you, and doing it in this manner will make them available to all helpers in every post and keep us from hunting for them. We ask that you fill them out in as much detail as possible including Desktop or Laptop, Model number if it is an OEM computer and all components with the Manufacturer and Model number if possible.
If you will go to your last post and click the 'System Specs' in the bottom left of the post, you will find a link to update your system specs. Please fill those out in as much detail as possible, making sure to click save at the bottom of the page. If you would like to know what we would like, you can click 'My System Specs' at the bottom left of this post to see mine. If you do not know what your components are, this will help you accomplish this task. System Info - See Your System Specs
You have 2 dump files in your files you uploaded. From your description I would have thought I would see more than that. Please make sure your computer is configured for small memory dumps, this will tell you how. Dump Files - Configure Windows to Create on BSOD
Both dump files you have are, as you know, your graphics driver. Specifically :

Thanks for answer me.I fixed the atikmpag.sys bsod before you post,the only thing i did was to go into C:windows/drivers/atikmpag.sys and just deleted the file,i reboot and the bsod didnt appeared,then i just download latest Ati graphics driver but now i get another bsod when i try to restart or shut down my laptop.
"The device driver got stuck in an infinite loop.This usually indicates
problem with the device itself or with the device driver programming the hardware incorrectly.
Please check with your hardware device vendor for any driver updates".
I dont know if u have to create another topic because it isnt the same bsod apparently,so what i have to do with this bsod?
PS:i updated as more specs as i cood.
Waiting for your answer,
Thanks in advance
|My System Specs
|27 Nov 2014
We'll deal with it here. It is still the same problem as you were having before. You did just fine in deleting the files, but you still need to go through the control Panel and delete the programs, themselves. Then reboot and reinstall the driver.
If this cannot be resolved by finding a driver that will work, we may end up having to disable the dedicated card and try running on just the on board graphics.

I tried uninstalling and installing AMD catalyst but i get bsod,so i cant unistall it and now because of that i get the 1st bsod(in startup)so now i can only run through safe mode.In which way i can unistall AMD by the time i cant run in normal mode? What i did was to go to device manager and disable all of them and enable one by one to see what is causing the bsod and i find out its from Display Adapters,the AMD Mobility Radeon HD 5000 Series what is causing my bsod,when i disable this only i tried to restart my laptop and there wasnt any bsod.So what i have to do now?Im really confused.

My inclination is if you are not getting BSODs, Leave it the way it is. If you have options in BIOS (and they may be hidden) Disable the on board graphics. Also, in CCC look for options of setting the preferred Graphics adapter to the HD 5000. I know that is not the preferred method and will affect your battery life. However, in most cases, that is the way problems are fixed.

Report: The FBI Has Been Beating, Torturing And Threatening To Kill American Citizens If They Will Not Become Snitches (Informants)
The FBI Shows Its True Colors Again
April 25. 2012
FBI Director Robert S. Mueller
FBI Director Robert S. Mueller
The FBI has been sued for renditioning and torturing Muslim-American citizen, Yonas Fikre, who was beaten and placed on the no fly list. Fikre maintains the FBI threatened to kill him, in a plot the CIA is also accused of participating in. Fikre stated the criminal actions by the law enforcement agency came when he refused to be an FBI informant. He also stated they issued veiled threats regarding his family.
Fikre is one of many, who have accused and sued the FBI for such inhumane and illegal conduct. The FBI has engaged in a criminal pattern of human rights abuses and invasion of privacy against "natural born" and naturalized American citizens, which is unlawful and worthy of the highest prosecution.
The FBI is flagrantly violating the Geneva Conventions, the U.S. Code and Constitution, regarding not engaging in cruel and unusual punishment. The agency has become a rogue police force with no accountability, resembling the now defunct SS under Hitler. The FBI is kidnapping, torturing, threatening, harassing and stalking people accused of no crimes. Why has Congress allowed them to engage in this disgraceful conduct. Where is the oversight.
US citizen accuses FBI of torture and death threats
Thursday 19 April 2012 - US citizen Yonas Fikre claimed on Wednesday that he was detained in the United Arab Emirates last year and tortured by FBI agents. Mr Fikre, a Muslim who is currently seeking asylum in Sweden, told a press conference in Stockholm that he was beaten, threatened with death and kept in solitary confinement for over three months...
"It was very hard, because you don't know why you are in there and the only person you speak to is either yourself, or the wall, or when you go to the restroom or when you go to the torture place," said Mr Fikre, who was held for 106 days...
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is demanding that the US Justice Department investigate his treatment. The council alleges that over the past two years the FBI has been using aggressive tactics against Muslim US citizens travelling abroad to try to pressure them to become informants...

There was always an underlining issue for a long time I didn't really want to admit I was unhappy and unhealthy, I use to get out of breath walking anywhere it was a constant cycle gaining weight made my asthma bad so I would have to take more inhaler making me gain more weight. It was a tough place to get out of. But I knew how I looked was making me feel really low, I have always had the loveliest of readers and followers who have always been supportive about how I look (thank heavens for those filters) but you have to do things for yourself, I was afraid to admit I wasn't happy and wanted to make big changes rather then being like "I'm big and just to be happy with that" I wanted to push myself and finally be able to look in the mirror without a million negative comments popping into my head, can I just say these negative comments were from me and not influenced by outside things, I needed to find my own worth, to be my own best friend and not to let those negative comments stop me.
Realising the need to make positive choices.
I realised that healthy eating was only a small portion of making myself feel better, I had to stop telling myself that I wasn't good enough, I needed to learn that my happiness was important and that it was acceptable to want to take pride in how I look and how I felt without feeling selfish, it seemed like one hell of a daunting task. The only way I knew how to do this was to force myself to find good things about me, doing more for myself and making conscious choice that would push me which in turn gave me confidence, things like being filmed for a dulce gusto, traveling alone and joining the gym.
How to get over the nightmare of clothes shopping
Every girls nightmare when you aren't feeling how you look is going shopping, yep the simplest of tasks like buying a pair of jeans would make me feel depressed, seeing my thighs and waist expand to what it did effect my mood so much. I lived in dresses and anything to hide the fact I was getting bigger and I wasn't happy how I looked. I had to check the sizes. Hiding what you look like no matter what size you are isn't good for your well being. I had to get over the size in the item of clothes I was wearing, its really not that easy, I embraced it knowing that I couldn't feel any worst I bought clothes that would look good on me. I went for tighter fitting dresses to extenuate the good parts of my body I embraced what I could while working on the parts of me I wasn't happy with.
Also I decided to buy myself an item of clothing that I loved and I wanted to use as a target item to fit into. Mine were a size 10 pair of vintage Levi shorts, it took me 10 months to fit in them but I did it. I surprised myself that this simple goal was great for my mindset.
The next step.
I decided only recently that joining the gym was the next step, after being asked to take part in Race For Life I wanted to prove to myself with mini goals that I could then start working on, then this would make the big goals less scary.
- Reintroduce outfit photos to my blog
These goals were pretty simple and doable when written down but following through with them for silly reasons like forgetting to drink more and mentally getting over how you look in a swimming costume can be hard. I realised that only I could pluck up the courage/organisation to do these things and keep going with them, so one day I put that swimming costume on and just did it. It was scary and for about a minute I hated it, but got over myself and once that goal had been squashed it makes the next stages so much easier to accomplish.
Recently coming out of a pretty negative relationship (Negative in the way that how I was and what I did was never good enough) has made me realise a lot about who I am, how I look and what I do is all about doing it for myself for me and not for someone else. It is surprising what such a negative relationship can do for your own well being. Knowing that you should be with someone who loves you for how you are, if they start wanting to change you that's not cool. If it doesn't fulfill you walk away.
What I'm eating.
Food wise all I have done differently is stick to breakfast, lunch and dinner, more recently I have started eating chocolate as I figured why the hell not as I have been working my bum off in the gym. I will be sharing my meals in an up and coming blog post so keep your eyes peeled. I really enjoy drinking herbal tea and coconut water a hell of a lot more then I use to which helps me so I don't snack. I avoid processed meat, junk food and fizzy drink just because it just makes me feel like crap.I'll share more of what I eat soon.
Confidence is key
For me its not only been a weight loss journey, making positive changes has helped me in all aspects of my life, I have found that I no longer get (so) down about things as I once did. I spot more positives about myself then negatives when I look in the mirror. I don't rely on someone to tell me I look nice or make me feel good about myself. Working on myself as a person has given me that confidence.
- Fuck it if I wanna look good who has the right to say other wise.
How can I start my own journey to feeling more confident about my body, mind and life?

Microsoft acquires LinkedIn
Microsoft announced yesterday that they have entered into an agreement with LinkedIn to the tune of $26.2 Billion, the largest acquisition Microsoft has ever made.
With more than 433 million members worldwide, LinkedIn has grown over the last 13 Years to be one of the largest social networks on the web, and crucially for Microsoft, it's business focus will line up perfectly with it's corporate offerings.
LinkedIn has become the place to be for Professionals, with people creating their profiles to form the equivalent of an Online CV, while they connect and network with existing and potential contacts. It has worked as a great resource for businesses, allowing them to advertise directly to their target consumers, and as a brilliant recruitment tool too.
Given Microsoft's purchase of Skype in 2011, it would appear this purchase of LinkedIn is the next step for Microsoft in completing their Business based eco-systems. Skype for Business has become an integral part of many Office 365 users, and while it's unclear how this new acquisition will function within Office, it can be easily imagined that there will be closer cohesion between your LinkedIn account and your Office 365 account in the near future.
The transaction will bump the share price of LinkedIn up massively, valuing it at $196 a share, the company will keep it's own distinct branding, culture and independence, much like Skype has since it's acquisition.

Look for lasting,
non-invasive solutions
to traffic congestion
We have long needed to move east-west traffic a bit more easily. Thirty years ago the solution many sought was using Liberty Street and removing its beautifully planted median. Aren't we glad that didn't happen? Today, some call for the widening of DeRenne Avenue. I oppose that suggestion for several reasons:
Removing 55 middle-income homes would further diminish our housing stock.
Commercializing Savannah in viable residential areas is further driving citizens away from the dream of home ownership because new housing is usually more expensive than the existing supply.
Widening DeRenne without controlling the cause of more traffic, i.e., additional business growth, is no solution at all. We have only to look at Abercorn Street.
Fifty years ago Abercorn was a new two-lane road. As it widened, more businesses came and the cycle continued. Today it is six lanes with additional turn lanes at many points and getting more crowded with cars and increased commercial structures every day.
Widening roads like DeRenne kills healthy residential neighborhoods.
Established neighborhoods aren't places to kill to get to someplace else. Roadways must be built to go around them.
Let's be far-sighted and look for lasting, non-invasive solutions to our transportation problems. A second bridge over the river is the answer. It may take 10 or 20 years, but so what? Federal money will help us and we know that a great city that is almost 300 years old can surely spend a few more to grow properly.
In the meantime, non-toxic efforts such as light synchronization, staggered hours, a push to use public transportation and biking and walking, and perhaps most importantly, a realistic, sustainable and healthy revision of our comprehensive plan and zoning regulations can be made to diminish traffic problems.
Keep religion out
of our government
I love this country. I love it for the freedoms we have available, notably the freedom of expression, thought and religion - or the freedom from religion.
To clarify that statement, I'm not for or against religion; to each his own. Over 200 years ago our forefathers established a system of government devoid of the many injustices that plagued past governments. One of those injustices was state-sponsored religion.
What troubles me is that certain citizens want to put God back in our schools and institutions when clearly our government is supposed to separate itself from religion (the word "God" doesn't appear in the Constitution). In order to be as fair as possible, justice needs not only to be blind, but free from religious bias.
I enjoy the freedoms afforded by the Bill of Rights and hope many others do as well, but how free would we feel if the government supported a religion other than our chosen one or if at public schools religious dogma we don't endorse was being pressured upon our children?
When religion bonds with government all non-believers have a civil rights issue.
Richmond Hill
He's looking for a third
party, perhaps Federalists
I sometimes grow tired of being a Democrat. Although I'm not as mad about it as Zell Miller, the party seems to have drifted too far to the left to suit most people. I find Republicans, who seem to be dominated these days by the fascists and religious bigots of the far right, to be truly repulsive.
While trying to find a political party more to my liking, I did some research on Federalists. Sure, we haven't had a Federalist president since John Adams left office in 1801, but it was still worth a look. After all, Alexander Hamilton, whose face is on the $10 bill, was a Federalist.
When doing my research I came across a mention of George Washington's warning to Congress about the evils of political parties. To be more specific, it was his 1796 farewell address to Congress.
Perhaps our greatest founding father, Washington accurately predicted the evils of becoming red states and blue states more than 200 years ago. Every member of Congress should read and heed his advice.
Schools should enforce
anti-smoking rules
My 16-year-old daughter has asthma that is highly sensitive to cigarette smoke. While I am pleased at recent legislation banning smoking in many public areas, I remain guarded in my optimism.
However, there is one place my daughter must be present that has strict anti-smoking rules in place but where she can find no safe haven: her public high school.
Recently my daughter told me she was outside during lunch and a crowd of students was smoking nearby. The secondhand smoke was irritating her asthma. There is nothing like an asthma attack to take a kid's mind off her studies.
She said that she asked a nearby teacher to ask the smokers to please move, or better yet, stop. She explained her condition to the teacher, who then told my daughter to move. She reminded the teacher that smoking is prohibited on school property, so she didn't see why she should have to move.
The teacher shrugged it off and said if she didn't like it she would have to move. I agree that self-help is an effective remedy much of the time and my daughter did move. However, she was left feeling less respectful of the staff, confused over the meaning of rules.
Rules and regulations are all well and good, but enforcement is a necessary component if they are to have any meaning. Where serious health issues are involved and there is a captive audience, non-enforcement is downright foolhardy. I hope the school system maintains a litigation fund equal to the behavior of its agents.
Republicans do little
to attract black voters
I believe Rhunette J. Bozeman's May 13 letter, "Why do blacks continue to support Democrats?", answered her question perfectly.
First off, I am a black male, a Christian and a Democrat. When I registered to vote in 1976, there was nothing the Republican Party was doing to attract me to them. They weren't actively recruiting in my district and the status quo remains.
I like the fact that my party is one of inclusion and in which there are many voices to an issue and we can all agree to disagree at times. If my remembrance of history serves me, it was a Democratic-controlled Congress and a Democratic president (Lyndon Johnson) that made civil rights laws possible.
I have been seeking out opposing viewpoints, especially by conservative blacks, and keep running across the same theme, Ms. Bozeman's letter included. They all seem to think too highly of themselves and denigrate their own people for not sharing their viewpoint.
So Ms. Bozeman is a Republican. Good for her. I respect that and will defend her right to be one. However, if she wants to add me or other blacks to her party then the Republicans need to immerse themselves in the black community.
As a Democrat, I am deeply offended by the May 13 letter from Rhunette J. Bozeman ("Why do blacks continue to support Democrats?"). In it she implied that all Democrats support the Ku Klux Klan, which lynched blacks and fought against integrating the military. She continues her assault by saying that all Democrats are supported by socialists, communists, fascists, haters of God, etc., hate God and support homosexual marriage and all kinds of abortions.
I would like to state clearly and precisely that I have never been, nor am I now, a member of the Communist Party.

Colin Kaepernick is no longer standing alone. Well in this case, kneeling. The 49ers quarterback has been getting a lot of attention the last few weeks in regards to his choice to take a knee during the national anthem, as a way to stand up for the African-American community during these trying times of police brutality.

Moore the pilot for Venitien win
Davidstown trainer Paul Nolan kept up his recent good form when Fine Theatre (8/1) swooped to conquer at Gowran Park on Saturday.
Nolan and Cleariestown hotshot rider Mikey Fogarty combined in impressive style as Fine Theatre ran away with the Coolmeen Gallops Beginners' Chase.
Always prominent under Fogarty, he eased away to beat The Winkler by seven and a half lengths in the colours of Kay Browne. Fine Theatre is a half-brother to Nolan's brilliant chaser, Joncol.
Jim Dreaper saddled a one-two in the Leinster National Handicap Chase at Naas on Sunday, with Adamstown's Jonathan Moore riding Venitien De Mai to win easily from Goonyella. The winner has the BoyleSports Irish Grand National as an immediate target while the Aintree Grand National is the aim for Goonyella.

It seems that almost every week there is a new puzzle spreading around social media, but not all of them are equally as challenging.
The latest viral puzzle tricks people by seeming to be fairly straightforward and simple, but leaves many scratching their heads, reports Newsiosity.
Part of what makes this puzzle in particular so difficult to solve is how deceptive it is upon first glance. There appears to be a clear pattern when first looking at the simple chart, but the answer is not what you think.
The puzzle is made up of six boxes, each with a number inside -- except for the box in the bottom right corner.
The puzzle simply says, "What goes in the empty square?"
The squares are numbered 1 through 5, leaving viewers to initially believe the obvious answer will be 6. However, just below the puzzle is something that changes the whole thing: "Hint: it's not 6."
Despite how the puzzle appears, the solution actually has nothing to do with math.
Many puzzles rely on memory and/or math skills, but this one requires thinking a bit outside the box. You might drive yourself crazy trying to think of all of the possible solutions to the puzzle, but the answer is right in front of you.
As AWM points out, the answer actually doesn't even involve numbers. The correct answer is "R."
The table wasn't really a puzzle at all, it's simply looking for the next gear on a manual transmission. The "R" stands for Reverse.
Were you able to solve the puzzle on your own?

The town's Public Works employees worked through Spring Clean Up Week April 18-21, offering residents the opportunity to take part in a town-wide effort to clean up homes and yards, and picking up additional trash in an effort to help residents. Recent heavy rains prevented the employees from getting all the trash picked up in time, but town officials say all the trash has now been collected.
According to David Phillips, Public Works director for the town, the Spring Clean Up Week was a huge success. The department's three employees worked through earlier this week collecting certain items, accumulating 38.5 tons.
"We do this for the whole town to make it look better," Phillips said. "But mainly, it's important for us to help those people out, like the elderly, who can't haul their trash away themselves."
Much like the fall collection, during the collection process over the last few weeks, the town picked up yard debris, building rubbish and household furniture. Just like past clean-up efforts, Phillips said no appliances were collected and residents would have to take the appliances to the landfill site themselves.
In addition to appliances, the town didn't collect electronics, including televisions. Phillips said if residents have televisions that need to be discarded, the Ivanhoe and Newton Grove convenience site locations generally accept them. However, he advised calling and inquiring with site staff before taking the television to be disposed of there.
The public works director noted his pleasure at how well received, and well used, the event was by residents during the week-long collection.
"The clean-up went really well," Phillips said. "Everyone did a great job of getting their items out like they were supposed to. We were able to go through and collect the waste."
The town doesn't offer weekly trash collection service, but residents do use Waste Industries on a weekly basis to collect their trash. The town does, however, go through on Fridays on Hwy. 242 and Roseboro Street, within the town limits, and collect extra waste, not typically collected by the routine collection.
"Residents are real cooperative," Phillips said. "They do an excellent job of keeping their trash cleaned up and putting it out where it needs to be."
Roseboro mayor Alice Butler said she was very appreciative for the work the employees put into collecting all the trash, and to the residents for being patient.
"I appreciate the citizens being patient and waiting for us to collect their trash," Butler said.

Question about Maytag Neptune MDG5500AW Gas Dryer
Posted by Bill62261 on
Umm. what was original problem that made you change coils to begin?? no heat i would imagine.dont rush to judgement thatyour fix didnt work, if your running the dryer empty to test your repair,its quite possible that the dryer is going to heat to desired temp quickly, and take a while to cycle back on. throwsome wet clothes in machine and test it then.

From the description you give the most likely cause of this problem are bad gas coils or a bad gas valve.
You say you see the flames for 10 minutes before it stops heating but you don't mention if the igniter is continuing to glow. One thing we need to know is if the igniter continues to cycle on and off when the dryer stops heating.
There is a small square plug on the front panel you can remove to try and visually check if the igniter is glowing.
The problem won't be the thermal fuse or one of the thermostats. Once the fuse is open the dryer won't heat but it won't start to heat after 20 minutes.
After the dryer runs ten minutes and stops heating then check if the igniter is still cycling on and off. This is important because if the igniter is working then the thermostats and igniter are okay.
When the igniter glows at some point you might hear a click and the igniter would stop glowing. The click is from the flame sensor and after the click and the voltage is removed from the igniter at the same instant the voltage is applied to the gas coils and you should get a flame.
You might hear a hum, buzz or vibration from the coils when this happens. If the coils seem to react to the voltage but there is no flame then most likely the gas valve is bad. If the coils don't do anything then most likely the coils are the problem. The gas valve and gas coils can work for 10-15 minutes and then heat up and stop working till everything cools down.
One other thing I must tell you about the gas coils. Here is a link to the gas coils you will need. These are the new style that will last quite a bit longer the the older one. The coils are like the spark plugs in your car. The will need replacing in time due to wear. Below is a video to walk you thru the repair process.

If you don't know the MLB is the only league in pro sports that requires every team to send at least one player to the All-Star Game. It was a dreadful year for the Colorado Rockies in 2013, but Dexter Fowler had a breakout year and could easily play his way to an All-Star campaign in 2013.
Fowler is mostly known for his cheetah-like speed and ability to make the stellar play in Coors Field's enormous outfield. However, he turned over a new stone last year when he hit over .266 for the first time in his career and finished with a .300 average, and nearly tripled his five home run total from 2011 with 13. Without Troy Tulowitzski for 115 games the Rockies had to get some offense from somewhere and Fowler provided quite a boost with those career-numbers in 2013.
With Tulo set to start at Shortstop for the Rockies this April the offense will be that much stronger as they clearly missed the face of their franchise in 2012.
In order for Fowler to make his first All-Star team in 2013 he will have to grind it out even more and I would like to see him get back to over 20 stolen bases for the first time since 2009. He has the potential to be a five-tool player in the league and if he puts all of the loose strings in his game together I have no doubt he could be voted in or selected by a Manager for the All-Star game this July.
Although I don't see big things for the Rockies in 2013 Fowler could definitely make an appearance at the Mid-Summer classic in his sixth MLB season.

Influenza had kept a guest in bed five days with fever, body aches, and general misery. He had meetings, he said, and needed something to knock it out.
While antibiotics don't affect influenza, antiviral drugs such as Tamiflu shorten the illness by a day or two. Sadly, they only work if taken within the first 48 hours; afterwards they are useless although doctors continue to prescribe them. This encounter occurred long ago, before I had learned some facts of life.
After I left, the patient dragged himself to a local clinic and received the traditional antibiotic which solidified his conviction that I did not know my business. Returning to the hotel, he demanded his money back. Guests often believe that the hotel doctor works for the hotel.
The general manager phoned to pass on this information. He was sympathetic, but hearing a complaint from a general manager is the low point in any hotel doctor's day.

Sometimes you need dessert. But sometimes, as delicious as that raw caramel slice looks, you can't be bothered cracking out the blender. Well, have I got the solution to your problems! This raw dessert recipe is the easiest raw dessert you will ever make. You don't even need a blender! It's protein packed and nutritious, so you'll finish feeling satisfied.
Banana, Peanut Butter, Raw Cacao Bites Recipe
- 1 banana (if you want this to be a frozen treat cut and freeze the banana the night before)
- 1 tsp raw cacao nibs
- 1 pinch of sea salt
- 1 tbs peanut butter (make sure it's the real deal 100% peanuts, no added nasties)
- 1 tsp chia seeds (optional)
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- Sprinkle of coconut flakes
- Slice the banana into bite size pieces.
- Using a spoon divide the tbs of peanut butter evenly across your banana pieces.
- Sprinkle the raw cacao nibs over the peanut butter so that they stick.
- Carefully sprinkle the salt (the salt in this recipe balances the bitterness of the cacao nibs) and cinnamon evenly on top of the banana.
- If you are using chia seeds (for added protein) sprinkle them on top evenly too!
- Devour!

If there's one area Zelda struggles, it's story. There's nothing wrong with a traditional rescue story. Some games only need a brief motivation and setting to get started, and the rest doesn't matter. Does anyone care how many times they need to save Princess Peach in a Mario game? Not really. Zelda, however, could use some creative expression.
The idea of Link setting out to discover his destiny and rescue the princess needs to change. Our hero's motivations and character arc need to change. Villains need to be more complicated. Let's see a Zelda game that weaves a narrative as epic as its environmental and creature designs.
Nintendo spoiled the world with a glimpse of an HD Zelda at this year's E3. As stylish and truly well-designed as Skyward Sword has been so far, it's tough not to think of what comes next. That's sort of the next point. What we saw of HD Zelda, combined with some of the brilliance we've seen in Skyrim, has us eager to once again see a more realistic Zelda. That's not to say this thing has to look exactly like Skyrim, but that's the direction we want the visual design to go. The rationale behind Skyward Sword's aesthetic was to provide clear visual clues during combat. That should still be possible with a realistic style. Plus... gamers can figure it out. We'll be okay.
Packaged into this would be a world design that feels a little more open and fluid. Ocarina of Time's map looks cool as an illustration until you realize it's basically a giant circle. With any luck Skyward Sword will continue what Twilight Princess started and bring the Zelda series back to the era of A Link to the Past, where wandering Hyrule felt seamless and less like something designed by an engineer. Even Twilight had a strange, pod-like, claustrophobic nature to it, as it connected specific locations together through very guided, narrow pathways. Let's do away with all of that.
Many of the above points come together under one concept, a concept that Skyrim truly embodies. The Legend of Zelda could and should be more cinematic. We've seen some of this develop throughout the last few console-based Zelda games. But when it comes to story, design, scope and overall design sensibility, Zelda could take advantage of many ideas. Voice acting, though not necessary, could be a great addition to Nintendo's plans if used properly. We don't even care if Link doesn't talk. Let everyone else chatter away.
Ocarina of Time captured a certain sense of grandeur for its time that was awe-inspiring. Seeing King Dodongo for the first time or staring down Twinrova was stunning. In some respects that game set a cinematic bar that the rest of the industry strove to reach. Yet over time, many rival fantasy games met that challenge, in some cases several times over.
What's curious is that modern Zelda games don't quite reach for those same goals. The Zelda franchise seems to have found an area of design and sophistication that it seems content to operate within. As a result a product like Skyward Sword doesn't seem quite as big and bold as Skyrim. Again, that's not necessarily bad, but we'd love to see the franchise return to some of its bigger and bolder roots.
Time will tell whether The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is better than The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. The more we see of both games, though, the more apparent it becomes that Skyrim has some ideas that, with a little adjustment, would fit perfectly in the Zelda world. It's not that Zelda is broken or that it needs to become a full-fledged RPG, but there is much within the RPG genre that could inform and inspire future Zelda games, just as Zelda has no doubt inspired them over the years.
Ultimately the real question is - what would you like to see in future Zelda installments? How would you evolve the series? Are there some things you wouldn't want at all?
