It's common for the creator of a show to hold negative feelings about the network execs. Hell, it's all but inevitable. There comes a time, then, where said creator just needs to vent a little hatred.
And when someone is given full reign of the show's content AND budget, they have room to vent a lot of hatred. Now, they have a choice: either they can spark an outcry and try to fight the system, quickly costing them their job; or they can put on a big ol' smile and make them suffer - all while Playing It For Laughs.
Fleecing the budget is when the creator of a show adds something into the lineup that isn't there for any reason apart from the fact that it is profoundly expensive. This could be just about anything that costs money - a prop, a series of plane tickets, an effect, a choreographed dance scene. It doesn't have to make the slightest bit of sense in context - in fact, the laughter it evokes with the fans stems not just from the blatant spitting into the network's eyes but also the sheer ridiculousness on which this trope runs. Usually lampshaded heavily.
Another form this may take is when production companies, or services, realizing that a big budget production is being created, will jack up their prices in order to take advantages of the proceedings. This will often lead to films being developed under code-names. The most famous of these is the fake title "Blue Harvest" used for George Lucas's production of Return of the Jedi, having learned his lesson during production of The Empire Strikes Back.
Contrast Creator Backlash, Writer Revolt, Shoot the Money
- One car ad had a lighthearted version, with a director pitching an ad to a group of executives, describing the car driving through all kinds of exotic locations like Hawaii, all filmed on location for the best possible spectacle. The execs' comments make it clear they think he's more interested in being the one flown out to all those places.
Anime and Manga
- Haruhi Suzumiya has the Endless Eight, where both the higher-ups and fans got screwed over. Kyoto Animation decided to blow much of the presumably high budget (for Anime standards) for the long-awaited second season of Haruhi Suzumiya, on making eight episodes exactly the same, but with different angles and lines, meaning that each one had to be animated from scratch, and because of the way home video releases work in Japan, Otaku had to pay for four different discs just to complete the collection. (each disc going between $60-80). It is unknown who got the middle finger more, the executives or the fans.note
- During Conan O'Brien's squabble with NBC regarding The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien, he happily decides to fill one of his shows with "new comedy bits that aren't so much funny, as they are crazy expensive." One of the most famous of these, pictured above, involves a Bugatti Veyron supercar dressed up like a mouse, that plays The Rolling Stones's "Satisfaction". Supposed cost of this bit? $1.5 million. Of course, most of the things used for these were loaners or obvious fakes, but the royalties for the music legitimately sent the cost through the roof. Another example was Tom Hanks coming out to "Lovely Rita" by The Beatles. In addition to being a reference to his wife Rita Wilson, the usage rights were very, very, expensive.
- In one episode of Top Gear (UK), the three hosts are forced to make very short and simple videos of the cars they are supposed to review. Jeremy Clarkson accomplishes this by flying himself and his car all around the world to test different parts of its engineering. When he can't figure out how to open the glove box, he flies to Australia to see if it will work "while it's upside-down". He even makes the trip to Hong Kong to "come up with a good metaphor". Needless to say, the other hosts aren't pleased.
- Richard Hammond's video was peppered with costly special effects and at one point featured a CGI spaceship firing lasers at the car as it zoomed around the track.
- The punchline for the episode was that there was absolutely no money left for James May's segment and he had to make do with a staid interview with one of the people who created the modern roadsign.
- One Mark Evanier's anecdotes involves getting an elephant for a live action comedy hour he wrote for. It was supposed to be a literal Elephant in the Room, but then it decided to go to the bathroom offscreen during filming.
- According to rumour in Doctor Who fandom, when Philip Hinchcliffe was sacked as producer, his response was to tell the designers and directors of the current season's last three stories not to worry about any overspending on the budget. On the good side, those remain three of the most popular stories in the show's history among fans. On the down side, this may have had something to do with the ever-tighter budgets on the next couple of seasons.
- The Kids in the Hall did a sketch on this topic titled "Screw You, Taxpayer" (as CBC is supported by public funding, meaning it was the VIEWER'S money they wasted)
- The Lonely Island song "Japan" is about making a music video in Japan that includes as many expensive things as possible, such as traveling to Hawaii for a single shot, stays at first-class hotels, and even throwing piles of yen in a river — all so that the trio can get a nice vacation at the expense of their record label.
- blink-182's The Rock Show video is about the band getting a big cheque to make a video, cashing it, and then blowing all the money on strip clubs, smashing cars and brand-new HD televisions, and throwing cash out of windows.
- In The Sims 3 expansion, "Showtime", the quality of your show is partially determined by the cost of the props used to decorate the stage.
- The Simpsons episode "Radioactive Man" has the production of the title big-budget super hero blockbuster come to Springfield to film. Along with all the travails of Bart and Milhouse trying to become involve with the production, is Mayor Quimby trying to milk the production for all it's worth.
- In the opening to the third Family Guy's Star Wars episodes, the yellow floating text complains about FOX's management style and then sends a random, garish, animated purple elephant skipping across the screen. It states that the elephant doesn't even make sense and was only made for this reason.

The search engine giant Google announced its Android One program during June this year at Google I/O conference to bring some feature-rich affordable Android phones for the developing world. It introduced three budget phones, manufactured by Karbonn, Spice and Micromax.Reportedly, Spice Dream Uno, Karbonn Sparkle V and Micromax Canvas A1 will receive the worthy Android 5.0 Lollipop update by January 2015.
According to a recent report, Google will unleash the Lollipop update by second or third week of December and soon all three manufacturers might release the update for their users. Spice Mobility CEO, Prashant Bindal has expressed that the company's Android One smartphone Dream Uno might get the latest candy flavoured update by January next year.
Though the other two manufacturers, Karbonn and Micromax have still kept mum about the update, it is expected that all the three devices will get the update at the same time.
The Android one handsets are based on stock Android operating system and similar hardware specification by Google's instruction. Since there is no extra layer of custom made interface over the OS, the manufacturers might not delay the roll out process.
Significantly, the Android One initiative didn't receive the expected market as the smartphone makers like Motorola, Xiaomi, Huawei and ASUS are fighting hard with good hardware configuration at an aggressive price bracket.
All the three Android One handsets currently run on Android KitKat 4.4.4 and are available through online and offline stores in India at a price between ₹6,299 and ₹6,499. Big e-retailers like Snapdeal and Flipkart are also offering good discounts for the phones.
Meanwhile, Google has also announced to team up with original equipment manufacturer like HTC, Lava, Xolo, Intex, Asus, Alcatel Onetouch, Lenovo and Panasonic to roll out new handsets by early next year.

I bought three books:
- A $3.00 copy of Infinite Jest in paperback. I've never read any Wallace, but I have read much about his writing since his recent suicide, and I think that I will enjoy his work. For $3.00 I just couldn't pass this up.
- A like-new hardback of Rushdie's The Enchantress of Florence. I really enjoyed Midnight's Children and Fury.
- A like-new Modern Library paperback of Middlemarch. After I finish W&P, I think this will be my next big read.
Now for the idea: I have a reading plan/resolution idea for the new year, but I will write about it later. Now, I think I will get off the computer and watch a show or two that we DVR'd this week. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

I've just returned from Llanw, a Welsh Language Christian festival, the closest thing we have in Welsh speaking Wales to Spring Harvest. One of the seminars was lead by Arfon Jones, the faithful servant who's working on beibl.net a sort of Welsh on-line Youth Bible. Arfon has a great passion for the Bible as a whole (obviously) but he's at his best when he talks about what the Bible teaches us about justice; so I looked forward to his seminar on 'A bias towards the poor'. He said a lot of challenging things but one thing that stood out to me was his warning that we as Christians, evangelicals included, tended to be selective in our Bible reading with regard to the poor and justice issues. The Bible does not compromise as politicians today do on these issues.
He said that we have a tendency to over spiritualize verses of the Bible. For example, we tend to claim that Jesus was talking about spiritual poverty when in reality he was really talking about real poverty etc… In other words we like to read the Bible through the eyes of our own lifestyle and our own political and social values instead of letting the Bible steer out lifestyle and our political and social values.
In this election climate I think Arfon's challenge is especially important. As Christians we must not let our politics govern our faith but let our faith govern our politics. Over the next few weeks in the build up to election day I hope, time willing, to discuss what this means in practise.

A £42,000 project to restore and enhance the beauty of 44 hectares of Nidderdale grassland is already making significant progress.
The Friends of Nidderdale AONB's Pollinator Pathway Project launched last year thanks to a grant from the Biffa Award, and has created a lot of interest and conversation among residents about how their favourite landscapes can be best protected.
The Nidderdale AONB Biodiversity Project Officer, Kelly Harmar, said: "We have made a brilliant start - we have already covered 27 hectares, which is over half of the area we needed to restore.
"We have got three sites to restore this year, and we have already restored one of them, which is a meadow in High Birstwith.
"We are delighted with how well the seeding work has gone over the past two years and look forward to following the progress of each meadow as the new seed germinates and flourishes.
"It is a fantastic project, and it's a joy to spend so much time in such beautiful areas restoring them."
The group has worked hard to address growing concerns from members that changes in farming practice have led to a decline in species rich lowland meadow.
The project concentrates on the southern half of the Nidderdale AONB, and plans to create a network of sites characterised by their beautiful wildflowers using locally harvested seed, commercial seed and plug plants and also add rarer species to existing wild flower meadows.
The Chair of Friends of Nidderdale AONB, Heather Garnett, said, "It's great to see how interested local people are in this project. People learning about hay meadows at our events are enthusiastically seeking ways of encouraging more pollinators in their gardens or other areas of land. We plan to invite them to see some of the improved meadows next summer."
The Biffa Award Head of Grants, Gillian French, said: "Biffa Award funding will help restore this important grassland and bring in rarer species of wildflower. We are pleased to be able to support Friends of Nidderdale AONB to secure a healthy future for pollinators."
The Friends of Nidderdale AONB are exploring ideas for public events to celebrate the work done on the meadows.

The Messy Love of Easter - Guest Post

My soul weeps and celebrates with you- may we never forget the amazing work on the cross.

Yes, may we never! Thank you!Delete
I. Love. This.ReplyDelete
I sat in church yesterday morning thinking this exact same thing, only I couldn't put it into words. I've never heard Easter described like this, and it's breathtaking.
"Horrifying and beautiful, scandalous and merciful. Not words which go together. But somehow, in that hinge of all history, they combined. The cross is messy. But it makes us clean."
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so very much for reading and for your kind words!Delete
This is really good! Very well-written!ReplyDelete
A giant thank you to Gloria for the privilege of being able to dwell on the magnitude of our Lord's sacrifice (and also for the much-needed-push to just sit down and write)! You always encourage others so very well, and it has been an absolute honor for me to join you for a moment in your lovely work. Keep on using your many talents to glorify Him, and thank you, for everything.ReplyDeleteReplies
Aw, thanks so much Belle! You're too sweet. :) Thank you for being willing to do this on such short notice! Your blog posts are always so faith-building. Don't be weary in well-doing girlie!Delete
Hi Belle - you don't know me but I have been following your blog for some time now. Your writings have blessed me - thank you.Delete
And this one particularly - it's as if you were taking us with you to see the awful beautifulness of the cross. And it touched me - thank you.
Thanks Gloria! <3Delete
Hey Anna! Thank you so immensely much for your kind words, you have no idea what they mean to me! But truly though, the credit isn't mine -- it's His. My words are nothing but fruitless words on a screen unless the Spirit in me empowers me and the Spirit in you uses them to speak to your heart. In both instances, the praise is Jesus' alone. Keep on following Him!Delete
This is such a good reminder of what Jesus did for us on the cross! Thank you for sharing, Belle! I love the vivid imagery and descriptions you use! Jesus' death truly wasn't clean or rosy. Isn't it interesting how an instrument of torture become a symbol of victory?ReplyDelete

I believe that I'm the poster child for over-commitment. My entire adult life has been filled with a series of projects, events, jobs, side jobs, internships, classes, you name it. It took several years of my mother and partner repeating, "SLOW DOWN," until I finally listened. And, truth be told, it wasn't even their words that affected me; it was facing the fact that I'd have to undergo IVF.
IVF really forced me to re-evaluate how I was spending my time and energy. And what I realized, once I gave myself the chance to think, was that I was filling up my life with so many things and people expressly so that I wouldn't have energy to contemplate bigger things. Like, what really drives me? What do I enjoy? What challenges me?
I'm not going to pretend that I have the answers to those questions, but I'm certainly not afraid to have the time to contemplate them now. I'm even comfortable with the fact that I don't know the answers. That's probably the biggest gift IVF has given me: the space to take time for myself and to honor myself.
With that in mind, there are a few basic things that are integral in cultivating the time and space to honor yourself. You don't need to have some thunderbolt like IVF to snap you into it, you just need to…
1. Give yourself permission: allow yourself to be nice to you! You must be okay with giving up bits of time and energy to "pamper" yourself – which it will undoubtedly feel like at first, but which you will soon realize is not simply pampering, but energizing your soul, thereby allowing you to give and do so much more for yourself and others!
2. Reallocate funds: figure out what money is going out the door towards things that aren't that important (partying, take-out, frivolous purchases) and dedicate it to something meaningful. Yoga, acupuncture, organic produce, fancy supplements – whatever it is that will fill your body and soul holistically.
3. Make it routine: whatever it is that you're implementing, make sure you do it religiously. No excuses. Why? You have to make yourself top priority!
4. Be consistent: don't make excuses not to stick to it. Honor yourself and keep your promises!
5. Journal/blog: find some way to mark down what you are doing for yourself; when you can track the care you are taking to nurture yourself, you'll be able to actually see and appreciate the impact that much more.
6. Evaluate: like any good project, you must evaluate its progress to determine its success. Once you've been really good to yourself for a while, ask yourself some hard questions. You may not like the answers you come up with – heck, you might not even have the answers! – but, with a clearer mind and a kinder heart towards yourself, you might find yourself being more honest. There are a million questions you can ask yourself, but here are some I started with:
- Am I happy?
- Am I challenged?
- Am I surrounding myself with people who support and challenge me, who bring out the best in me?
- Am I making good choices about my professional life? My personal life?
- Am I being the best partner/friend/lover/child/parent/employee I can be?

Why Ask Help From A Discount Realtor?
Discount realtors could be an excellent choice in reducing the expensiveness of those full service realtor commissions when selling a home, which usually range in about 6% of the price of the property sold. Before utilizing such discount realty, homeowners should consider that utilizing it would not spare them the total commission price. A discount realtor service range in prices from flat free to lesser percentage rate, based on the service that the sellers want. Lesser fees or commissions implies less services, so the homeowner should determine the services which he is willing to give up in order to save from the commission cost.
Having a house listed on flat charge MLS service can be the most excellent way for the homeowners to spread the word about their property for sale with the realtors. Regardless if it's a multiple or local listing service that cover bigger geographic areas, only realtors could have homes listed in these services. Also, there is a flat-fee service which allow homeowners in getting their names in multiple listing service through realtors which could range in prices typically about $100. Thus, getting a 'for sale by owner' property listed on multiple listing services isn't sufficient justification to sign a contract together with traditional
Discount real estate services California
Through having 'for sale by owner' house on fixed price MLS listing services, other realtors would bring property buyers in your home. When other realtors would bring in some buyers, the homeowner would need to pay the commission to the selling realtor. Well, this is vital for the sellers to know and take note since it implies that they would be able to save half of the commission that they would pay by utilizing full service realtors, instead of the total amount.
A flat fee realtor provide a lot of similar kinds of document service which full service realtors offer including contract and binder documentation. Realtors who assist with such documentations would range in offering document service for lesser price compared to the traditional rates too. Since contracts utilized by realtors would usually be fill-in-the-blank documents, the sellers could frequently have such document by themselves. Also, the provisions of this contract will not justify the commissions paid to the realtor in itself. Sellers could also hire a lawyer for the contracts with the sale.
There are still many benefits of choosing a

Dado, a women's boutique in Pittsford, has tapped a demand for unique looks. Owner Dalida Atallah thinks retailers underestimate Rochester women. Her shop's focus: distinctive fabrics and structures that can't be found anywhere else in the area.
"What I love most is when someone walks in looking for something and finds it. I watch them try it on and fall in love with it," she says. "I almost have to clap and applaud."
Her store outgrew its Park Avenue shop two years ago and expanded after the move.
"The idea is, 'If you want to look like everyone else, don't come here,'" she says.
Throughout Rochester you'll find independent shops, each with its own twist. Many, like Dado, are on Monroe Avenue in Brighton and Pittsford. A Different Point of View carries Vera Bradley, Eileen Fisher and Kate Spade. With an eye to wearable art, B'Younique carries Lee Andersen and other funky designers. SoLia Boutique specializes in contemporary clothing for men and women; lines include English Laundry, James Jeans and Paige Denim.
In the quaint Erie Canal village of Pittsford, One Jane carries New York staples such as Hugo Boss, and SJ's Village Boutique has Michael Stars and more than 40 American-made lines. The boutique in Breathe, a yoga studio and juice bar, carries designer yoga clothes, jeans and tops. You'll find Marc Jacobs, Raoul and other designs at Embrasse-Moi-plus designer/owner Kristine Iannazzi's own lines.
Looking for something edgier? On Park Avenue, A Step Apart sells New York and L.A. styles for men and women with a wide range of designer denim and footwear, from 7 for All Mankind to Keen. Krista Larson, CP Shades, Design B and Sophie Finzi are among the labels at 2Chic Boutique. Devil May Care has Elle MacPherson Lingerie, JimmyJane candles and other lines. In the South Wedge, Thread carries Obey, Ambiguous and other designers for both sexes, plus a growing selection of home furnishings.

From July 12-17 was Summer Synergy in Olds Alberta. We headed up to Olds with our five head of cattle around noon on the 12th and got them settled into their tie out pens and everything set up for the week! Throughout the week along with feeding, watering, washing and bedding our cattle so they were nice and comfortable I participated in a variety of different competitions such as multi judging, show team judging, and showmanship during the week. And then Friday was the big show day, where all the kids in all beef breeds, dairy and sheep showed the animals they worked hard to prepare for the show. All the competitions during the week and the conformation show we got points on how well we did and those points got accumulated for the chance to win a scholarship at the end of the week. There was also a marketing component that counted, consisting of making a blog which is how this whole blog got started in the first place and thanks to all of you for reading, following and viewing I was one of the 27 who received a scholarship and was recognized at the Calgary Stampede grandstand on Saturday!
It was a crazy, exhausting week but totally worth it in the end, walking across the grandstand in front of thousands of people was an experience that I am not soon going to forget! It was an excellent week and I would encourage anyone between the age of 9-21 to come to Summer Synergy in the future, it is a great week and a wonderful opportunity to meet new people and a great way to make get some scholarship money!
Well, after that fulfilling week in Olds, I came home to catch up on some sleep, relax a bit and get ready for the week after for our trip up to Saskatoon Saskatchewan for the 2011Canadian Junior Hereford Bonanza July 26-31. Every year this show is hosted by a different province and this year it was a huge success with our highest numbers ever. My siblings and I took eight head on the long almost seven hour drive to Saskatoon. It is quite similar to Summer Synergy with different activities like showmanship, judging, grooming and team competitions happening throughout the week with the big open show at the end! I did alright in the show this year with my yearling heifer placing third in the class and the 2 year old bull 40W, featured here received the honor of reserve champion senior bull!
Bonanza is probably one of my favorite parts of summer, I have been going since 2008 when Alberta hosted it in Medicine Hat and I have loved it ever since. It is another great way to meet fellow junior members that love to show and raise the Hereford breed! Again I encourage any Hereford enthusiasts under the age of 21 to come out and have fun with us, it is another great opportunity for scholarship money, free semen through the semen donation program and the chance to win money for a heifer through the heifer lottery, all you have to do is become a Canadian Junior Hereford Member.
It has been a great month, quite an exhausting one and I'm still catching up on sleep but it has totally been worth it.

Wuyi Deviled EggsSubmitted by: Emily Amanatullah
Hard boiling eggs in tea adds not only a deliciously light and subtle flavor, but also a unique and interesting presentation. The crackled exterior of the egg white adds a lovely touch to your serving platter.
Prep Time: 1 hour 45 min.
Serving Size: serves 4-6
Put eggs in pot with water and bring to a boil. Simmer for 12 min. Remove from heat and put the eggs in cold water until they're easily handled. With the back of a spoon, tap the shells of each egg to make a cobweb of cracks. Return water to heat and add the tea leaves, salt, and eggs. Bring back to a boil. Lower heat, cover, and simmer for 1 hour. Remove from heat and let the eggs soak in covered pan for 30 min. Chill in refrigerator until desired temperature.
Slice eggs in half lengthwise and remove yolks. Mix yolks with mayonnaise (approx. 1 tsp per yolk), salt, pepper, and a dash of ground coriander (a little goes a long way). Cream ingredients together until smooth then spoon or pipe yolk mixture back into egg whites. Sprinkle with paprika and serve!

WILSON, N.C. (AP) A teen who was the only student to walk out of his North Carolina high school during a national protest of gun violence is one of six who will share BET"s Humanitarian Award.
The award typically goes to one person. But this year, the network is honoring six people, whom it calls "humanitarian heroes."
Among them is 16-year-old Justin Blackman, the only student to walk out of Wilson Preparatory Academy on March 14. Students across the country walked out of classes that day, one month after the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Florida.
When students left classes April 20 to mark the 19th anniversary of the Columbine shootings, Blackman shared a photo showing dozens standing with him.
Blackman will receive his award Sunday.

Green Hill Cemetery
The Green Hill Cemetery, established in 1865, provides the citizens of Frankfort with a unique link to our community's African American Civil War heritage.
Visiting the Cemetery
The cemetery is open from dawn to dusk. For more information, contact the Capital City Museum at 502-696-0607 or email the museum.
United States Colored Troops (USCT) Memorial
One of the cemetery's most prominent features is a simple but impressive ten-foot tall limestone pillar bearing the names of 142 veterans of Kentucky's USCT from Frankfort and the surrounding counties of central Kentucky.
The monument was dedicated on July 4, 1924 by the Women's Relief Corps, an affiliate of the local African American Post of the Grand Army of the Republic, a Union Army veteran's organization.
History of the Kentucky USCT
Officially, 23,703 African Americans in Kentucky responded to the call to arms by President Lincoln and Frederick Douglass to join the ranks of the newly organized USCT.
Units were organized with men from across the Commonwealth, mustering into the Union Army at sites from Maysville to Paducah. Camp Nelson, located in Jessamine County, was the second largest recruiting and training facility for African Americans in the country.
Assignments & Skirmishes Within the Commonwealth
Kentucky's USCT were initially assigned to guard and garrison duty around the Commonwealth at places like:
- Camp Nelson
- Camp Wildcat
- Crab Orchard
- Danville
- Louisa
- Louisville
- Smithland
As Confederate guerrilla activity increased in the state, they became involved in skirmishes at:
- Ghent
- Haddix's Ferry
- Harrodsburg
- Lexington
- Owensboro
Action Outside the Commonwealth
Not all of Kentucky's USCT units were confined to the boundaries of the Commonwealth. Units saw action at:
- Along the Northwestern Railroad
- Bennett's House, North Carolina
- Bermuda, Virginia
- Cox's Bridge, North Carolina
- Duvall's Bluff, Arkansas
- Federal Point, North Carolina
- Fort Donelson, Tennessee
- Fort Fisher, North Carolina
- Goldsboro, North Carolina
- Johnsonville, Tennessee
- Kinston, North Carolina
- Nashville, Tennessee
- Raleigh, North Carolina
- Saltville, Virginia
- Sugar Loaf Hill, North Carolina
- Union City, Tennessee
After the War
Following the war, some of Kentucky's USCT regiments did not immediately return home. Instead, they were sent to Texas as part of an American build-up intended to discourage French operations in Mexico. Several of Kentucky's USCT regiments operated along the Rio Grande River until September 1866.
With the end of the war, martial law was still in effect within the Commonwealth. USCT units saw duty across Kentucky until December 20, 1867, when the 125th United States Colored Infantry was mustered out of service, thus becoming the last United States Colored Troops regiment to be discharged.

Tourists and visitors of all ages are sure to find plenty of things to do in Bristol. The city's home to world-famous landmarks, fantastic attractions and some of the best art and culture venues in the UK. Bristol Zoo is one of the most popular attractions, though it's situated outside the city centre in Clifton. It's home to animals from all over the world, and hosts regular family events and features an activity trail for kids. For a quieter day out, head to Queen Square for a picnic, or for one of the city's many events including the annual Bristol Comedy Garden in July.
The event offers the chance to see world-class comedians, but if that's not your thing you might prefer a visit to Horseworld in Whitchurch. The Avon Valley Adventure and Wildlife Park offers something for all ages, and the Bristol Blue Glass Workshop gives you the chance to see famous blue glass creations being made on site. There are a number of companies offering boat trips by the harbour, and if you want the chance to try a variety of attractions you can browse rooms and properties and book accommodation in Bristol to give yourself time to see it all.

Asasantin Angina Pectoris Causes and Reviews
Angina is chest pain or discomfort you feel when there is not enough blood flow to your heart muscle. Your heart muscle needs the oxygen that the blood carries. Angina may feel like pressure or a squeezing pain in your chest. It may feel like indigestion. You may also feel pain in your shoulders, arms, neck, jaw, or back.
Angina is a symptom of coronary artery disease (CAD), the most common heart disease. CAD happens when a sticky substance called plaque builds up in the arteries that supply blood to the heart, reducing blood flow.
There are three types of angina:
- Stable angina is the most common type. It happens when the heart is working harder than usual. Stable angina has a regular pattern. Rest and medicines usually help.
- Unstable angina is the most dangerous. It does not follow a pattern and can happen without physical exertion. It does not go away with rest or medicine. It is a sign that you could have a heart attack soon.
- Variant angina is rare. It happens when you are resting. Medicines can help.
Not all chest pain or discomfort is angina. If you have chest pain, you should see your health care provider.

Colony House (Franklin, Tenn.)
Just because the Franklin, Tenn., trio sing about faith and two of the members' father is the esteemed Christian singer Steven Curtis Chapman doesn't mean the group should be pigeonholed as a "Christian Rock band." In the vein of other faith-based and anthemic rock group like U2 and The Killers, Colony House (the name comes from an apartment complex they called home in Franklin) pen lyrics about not giving up and battling the devil. "When the devil's arms seem strong, brother keep it on," lead singer Caleb Chapman sings on the sweeping "Keep On Keeping On" from last year's When I Was Younger LP. On the band's current tour some venues have age restrictions, but the group announced it'll play acoustic sets outside the venues for the under-aged. Now that's the Christian way
