Saturday afternoon in Healdsburg can be a relatively quiet time. It's good time to shop, taste wine, enjoy tea time or just people watch in the plaza. If you're looking for an event, however, you may have to do some digging – unless you've heard Ziggy Eschliman promote the grand re-opening of all week long.
Ziggy is "the wine gal," on KRSH-FM, the area radio station with a distinctive playlist: a little rockabilly, a little classic rock, and a lot of "Americana," whatever that is. Increasingly, KRSH is sponsoring live events, such as concerts at local wineries or in their own back yard.
One of these events came to Healdsburg this Saturday at Affronti Wine Bar from 2 to 4 pm. Ziggy was there, as well as a juggler, a magician, and friends and followers of all the above.
The occasion was the "Re-Grand Opening" af Affronti, a small restaurant and wine bar tucked away on Healdsburg Ave. down a "curiously long corridor," at 235 Healdsburg Ave. For the past six months things have been fairly quiet at Affronti, slowed by the on-going construction of a roof over the inner courtyard – a project that was only supposed to take two months, according to manager Julie Moore. "We lost a lot of momentum during that time," Moore said, "so we're reminding people we're here."
Beneath that the new roof, magician Ash K the Pretty Good and juggler Fred Anderson performed, chef Jude Affronti and crew served up their trademark small plates, Barb Matheson poured tastes of her husband Mat Gustafson's new wines for Paul Mathew, and Ziggy called in updates to the radio station.
When everyone was feeling loose enough, Fred Anderson coaxed Ziggy into a juggling lesson to the tunes of Hot Chocolate's "I Believe in Miracles." (see video)
Food, wine, music and juggling. Who says Saturday afternoons in Healdsburg are quiet?

Ehrman, Lost Gospel of Judas
I've only ever reviewed Ehrman on this blog, but it's good to know that OUP have noticed.
Their publicity says:
As you may recall, Ehrman is the author of The New York Times
bestseller Misquoting Jesus, the groundbreaking book that shed light
on the many mistranslations and alterations the Bible has undergone
since its inception. In his newest book, Ehrman promises to be just as
controversial, detailing the events and consequences surrounding the
discovery of the lost gospel of the man believed to be history's most
notorious traitor.
Discovered in a pizza parlor in a Swiss town near lake Geneva, the
Gospel of Judas is perhaps one of the most important and controversial
discoveries of the 20th Century. In The Lost Gospel of Judas
Iscariot, bestselling author Bart D. Ehrman analyzes the impact of
this find, and what it tells us about the life of Judas. A provocative
and compelling account, The Lost Gospel of Judas Iscariot shakes the
very foundations of everything we thought we knew about the man who
betrayed Jesus Christ.
There appears to be no shortage of sensationalism here. I would like, however, to take this opportunity to encourage people to wait a little bit longer for the next OUP book on the Gospel of Judas, which will be by one of our own bloggers, the venerable Simon Gathercole, who should give us plenty of philological learning as well as sound judgement on the subject.

"Discovered in a pizza parlor in a Swiss town near lake Geneva" is certainly an interesting addition to the variety of stories about G. Jud.'s discovery. I will pop along to our local Hut or Express at the next available opportunity to see what I can find. Can I encourage all readers to do the same in your local pizzeria?

Judge Helen Berrigan dismisses New Orleans Saints LB Jonathan Vilma's defamation lawsuit against Roger Goodell | NOLA.com
Berrigan added: "As for the intentional infliction of emotional distress claim, Vilma makes the conclusory statement that, 'Goodell's statements and conduct were extreme were outrageous.' ... He makes no further allegation in support. As a public figure, Vilma has the burden of show that Goodell made the statements with 'actual malice' under both Louisiana and New York law. ... Vilma alleges that the suspension and the appeal were so procedurally flawed that no reasonable person could have believed the statements were true. "However, the statements themselves indicate that they were based on an extensive investigation. ... While the Court is extremely disturbed by the fundamental lack of due process in Goodell's denying the players the identities of and the right to confront their accusers, that was substantially rectified later in the process. So while the process was initially procedurally flawed, the statements were ultimately found to have enough support to defeat the defamation claims."

While more than 15 types of artisan cheese grace the menu of the highly anticipated new business Bar Pastoral, it's the new items, like the duck leg confit and merguez stuffed apricots wrapped in bacon, that have owners Greg O'Neill and Ken Miller eager to open.
The partners of 20 years, both personally and professionally, are slated to open their latest North Broadway business venture on Nov. 12 next to their already famously successful cheese and wine shop, Pastoral. It's one of three already thriving Chicago cheese shops owned by the Lake View residents.
After securing the space at 2947 N. Broadway in August, O'Neill says it's been a long road to create a space that speaks as upscale yet comfortable.
"The big thing for us is that Bar Pastoral is going to be a logical extension of our base business," O'Neill said. "We don't want it to be some disjointed step-sister. There will be no attitude around the food… It's meant to be cozy, comfortable."
The two are taking their love and expertise of cheese and pouring it into a no-reservations, 50-seat restaurant focused on "grazing as dinner." The menu features snacks, house-made charcuterie, cured meats, small and "not-so-small" sized plates, and a variety of cheeses.
Sign up for breaking news alerts in Lake View and check us out on Facebook.
All 16 available wines will be $10 a glass, and $5 for a half-glass. Cheese plates start at $6, and the average "not-so-small" plate runs about $12.
Backed by Top Chef Season 10 Chrissy Camba in the kitchen and a list of specialty cocktails, beer and wine behind the bar, the whole restaurant is aimed at a unique, artisan experience for customers.
"We'll have three beers on tap, plus a sparkling wine from northern Michigan that's made just for us," O'Neill said. "We'll have sparking and filtered water so we can do mocktails and other cool items. We'll also have a very limited, edited selection of specially cocktails, but we'll be featuring a different local distiller every quarter. When it's open, it'll be Koval Distillery. "
Bar Pastoral will be open seven days a week serving the evening crowd until midnight during the weekdays, and 2 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. O'Neill says in about a year, they'll consider doing lunch or brunch service as well, but in the meantime, customers can buy a sandwich from Pastoral and take a seat in the new bar.
Massive chalkboards slated for installation on the walls will tell customers what wines and cheeses are being featured for a limited time, while the opposite wall will be home to an art exhibit.
In addition, a custom chandelier made from reclaimed butter churners hangs over a soapstone bar, while another made from a cow-milking contraption hangs over the room's largest table.
And O'Neill already gave the space a nickname of its own.
"Want to go sit at the udder table?" he laughed.

Superb route. Starts with easy slab climbing for 15 metre to reach a small "roof"... hard move to pass the roof to reach a nice crack
The route is right above " le rocher �cole"... make it to the base of the climb by climbing a route of the "rocher �cole" or use the slightly exposed path to the right of the "rocher �cole"...
Good protection at the roof. A piton + many possibilities for protection and the crack is awesome. Bring small cams for the crack and nuts.

Gibraltar Overview
It's a surprise to many people, sailing into the Bay of Gibraltar for the first time, to realize that the Rock, that famous promontory, actually faces Spain and not the Strait of Gibraltar leading into the Mediterranean. Once the cloud cover clears, and the entire enormity of it is revealed, though, it's an amazing sight that's visible from the cruise ship docks.
Gibraltar may well be a British Crown Colony but geographically it's an isthmus of Spain (you literally can walk across the road, though you do have to pass through some pretty tough customs guards). This proximity over the years has caused no end of irritation on the part of the Spanish government. In fact, during the reign of Ferdinand Franco, he got so upset that the British refused to cede the territory to Spain that he closed the border and cut off telephone communications. Recent relations between the British and the Spanish governments have been quite cozy, with Great Britain even entertaining thoughts of handing Gibraltar over; a referendum in 2002 put the kabosh on that, though, since the Gibraltarians would have none of it; they are British and want nothing to do with Spanish citizenship.
The 1400-foot-high "rock" is a limestone formation, riddled with as many as 140 caves. Remains of pre-Neanderthal humans have been found inside the rock and in areas surrounding it, but the territory's more recent history is at once turbulent and inspiring.
In turn peopled by Phoenicians, Greeks, Carthaginians, Romans, Muslims, Moors, Spanish, Dutch and finally the British, the town of Gibraltar was formed in the 11th century by North African Islamics. The city is said to be "British Colonial built on Spanish Colonial built on Moorish." And that is exactly what the charming city resembles, with all of the influences present in its architecture.
Owing its current status to Lord Nelson (who protected it during the Great Siege), there are several monuments honoring the Admiral, and museum exhibits that explain the most recent history of the region. The strategic location of the territory has caused it to be used over the centuries as a fortified battlement, and in fact, the Rock itself has over 30 miles of roads within it.
Traveling to the top of the Rock is almost mandatory and is easily accomplished via land tours or a quick cable car trip. At the top is a splendid nature preserve, and along the way one can visit with the Barbary apes and even the Barbary partridge, both unique to Gibraltar.
Beyond the Rock and the handful of museums, the old town of Gibraltar consists of a main street jammed with tiny shops and a handful of famous British chains, such as Marks and Spencer, BHS, and NEXT. For North Americans, however, there are few bargains as all prices are in the Gibraltar pound, which is equivalent to the pricey one in the U.K.
As for the future of the territory, it is claimed that as long as the Barbary apes inhabit Gibraltar, it will remain a British colony. You can bet that the apes are prized and pampered and coddled, and have no plans to leave the Rock anytime soon.

For More Information
English is the spoken language in Gibraltar, although Spanish and Arabic are widely spoken as well.
Currency & Best Way to Get Money
The Gibraltar pound (on par with the British pound) is the standard currency, but items are priced in both pounds and euros (we had no trouble at all using euros). Shuttles at the cruise dock will accept U.S. dollars for passage; there are plenty of ATM's in the city center, and several exchange booths, most of which don't charge a commission (check first).
Best Souvenir
Gibraltar Crystal
(Grand Casemates, telephone: 350-79980): Items are produced in Gibraltar and entirely handmade; you can watch them being formed and even design your own pieces, from wine glasses to large vases. The glass factory is located in an old army barracks in the town square.
Stuffed Monkeys:
We're partial to the wide array of stuffed monkeys available on the Rock, meant to capitalize on the Barbary apes that call the region home. Never mind that the apes have no tails and most of the stuffed animals do -- they're fun and range from teeny squeakers for the pups to great big, fat and fluffy stuffed companions.
Where You're Docked
Cruise ships dock at Gibraltar's recently built cruise ship terminal just a mile from the center of town. Expansion plans call for a promenade to be built, linking the terminal with the core shopping and entertainment areas.
Hanging Around
The cruise ship terminal is small but does offer international telephones, a snack outlet and a couple of touristy/trinkety kiosks for souvenirs. Otherwise, it's bland and there is nothing else around it except a yacht marina.
Getting Around
Gibraltar comprises just under four square miles, so ostensibly one could do everything on foot, but in fact it's impractical due to the vertical geography of the Rock. The town center is just a mile from the dock and is a relatively easy stroll. Shuttles are offered by the port as well, but prepare to shell out for the quick ride; cost each way is 1 pound sterling, 2 dollars or 2 euros each way. In town, taxis are readily available but fairly pricey relative to the short distances traveled. Also, prices are based on a four-person minimum, so even if there are just two of you you'll still pay 8 euros.
If you choose to book a shore excursion in town rather than through the ship, the buses and guides leave from a central area near the main square.
Don't Miss
You can take the
cable car
from Main Street to the top of the Rock and see both Spain in Europe and Morocco in Africa; the trip takes eight minutes to ascend the 1000 feet to the top, where there are a restaurant, souvenir shop and pub. On your way up or down you can stop to see the Barbary apes at "The Ape's Den," the cave in which they reside. Cost is about 8 pounds for the roundtrip fare, including a stop to see the apes.
Partway up the Rock face is a stop at the
Ape's Den
, where you can get out and explore. The tail-less Barbary apes will visit with you, but beware -- they love snatching purses, cameras, hats and sunglasses.
Also known as Cathedral Cave, the unique geophysical properties of
Upper St. Michael's Cave
, descending some 250 feet below the entrance, makes it ideally acoustic, and part of it is set up as a concert venue. These days, classical music is piped through for tourists, but the chambers are still used for concerts, solo performances and ballets. Entry is free with a cable car ticket.
Gibraltar is tax-free and the
is lovely. There are many British stores like Marks and Spencer, some Spanish stores, and some that are unique to this multi-ethnic community. Linens and Spanish mantillas are available in the main square at most reasonable prices; leather goods and clothing can be found along the main street, for pedestrians only, that winds its way to the Alameda Gardens at the foot of the Rock.
Been There, Done That
A tour of
Lower St. Michael's Cave
is not for the faint of heart, nor for the physically challenged. It requires descending several hundred feet using ropes, pulleys, ramps cut into the stone, and scary walks across slippery and narrow pediments. At the end of it, though, you come upon an underground lake surrounded with magnificent stalactites and stalagmites dating from millions of years ago. There is a small entry charge.
Several companies (and cruise ship excursions) offer tours out into the Bay of Gibraltar, where three species of
(common dolphin, striped dolphin and bottlenose dolphin) live and play. Not only are you more than likely to come face to face with these exuberant mammals (or the occasional whale!), but it's also the best opportunity you have for taking photos of the Rock itself.
Gibraltar is surrounded by more than 30 wrecks and reefs and is a haven for experienced divers, but even novices can take a short "resort course" and go out for a few hours at shallower depths. If your ship is in port until late, night diving is also available.
Ornithologists aren't the only ones entranced by the multiple species seen migrating through the Straits of Gibraltar. If you are a nature lover, this is an outing that you will enjoy tremendously, as migrating birds are in evidence at almost all times of the year. Depending on when you visit, you might see white storks, honey buzzards, short-toed eagles and sundry other species of sea and land birds. And Gibraltar has its own, the Barbary partridge, which, like the apes, can only be found here.
Most of the lunch spots in the tourist areas of Gibraltar serve British "pub-style" food, but try to find one that serves Gibraltar's unique dishes, calentita and panissa. They are similar, both made of chickpea flour, with calentita having the addition of lemon juice. They are like baked falafels, sometimes served in sandwiches.
For pub grub, we like the little area called Irishtown. It's located a block parallel from the Main Street crowds.
This charming wine bar/restaurant is located on College Lane just off Main Street. One of Gibraltar's fancier and more expensive restaurants, there is a wide assortment of fresh fish, meat and poultry dishes.
Star Bar:
Located in Parliament Lane just off Main Street, this is the oldest tavern in Gibraltar, and one of the only ones with a children's menu.
Perhaps folks are craving home food because
Latino's Diner
(194/196 Main), which serves Cokes and burgers and chicken wings, was the busiest joint in town on our visit.
Serving classy but inexpensive Moroccan-style food,
La Bayuca
(21 Turnbulls Lane, 350-75119) is a favorite of Britain's royal family when they visit Gibraltar.
Angry Friars
(287 Main St., 350-71570) offers typical British fare -- steak and kidney pie, and pints of ale -- and is located on the main shopping street with a big outdoor patio.
We loved
The Clipper
(Tuckey's Lane & Irish Place) in Irishtown. Serving pub fare and with British news channels on the bar's television, it attracts a great blend of locals and visitors alike.
Also try:
A walk around the seafront or the marina will introduce you to many little bars and pubs that have "proper tapas," the Spanish influence quite evident and appropriate for this location.
Shore Excursions
Dolphin Watch:
Suitable for all family members, these tours take you out on the Bay of Gibraltar to seek out the three species of dolphins that live in these waters, and the tour guides -- depending on the time of year -- will attempt to find whales, turtles and flying fish. Average cost is $70 per adult, $40 per child. The tour takes about two hours.
Gibraltar Highlights and Upper Town:
Some of Gibraltar's most famous monuments are featured in this tour, including the Moorish Castle, the Europa Lighthouse, the Barbary ape den, the top of the Rock, and a walk through Upper Town's twisty, narrow streets. Average cost is $30 per adult, $20 per child, and the tour takes about two hours with the option of returning to the ship on your own.
A City Under Siege:
A comprehensive tour that includes highlights of Gibraltar's history, how the inhabitants fought off the invaders, the ingenious manner in which the Rock was used as a fortress, and a historical perspective of Lord Nelson's life and death in the region. Requires a lot of walking. Average cost is $55 per adult, $40 per child; this tour lasts approximately four hours.
Staying in Touch
Cafe Cyberworld
(14 - 16 Ocean Heights Gallery, Queensway, telephone 350-51416): Just off Main Street, with high-speed (ISDN) lines. Cost is 2.50 Gibraltar pounds for half an hour; under half an hour is 10 pence per minute. Bar and lively atmosphere, open from noon to midnight.
International telephones
are located at the cruise ship dock, and calling cards are available there for purchase.

On behalf of JDH and wonderfulspam,
UFC 145 marks the end of a historical point in Bloody Elbow history... the end of season two of its community's Civil War. While INEPT may walk away with the victory, after picking up the torch that the K-1 team once held; that is just one battle, my friends. For this war will not be won when Bones beats the living shit out of Rashad Evans... No, it will have just begun.
If you're already a participant for this current season, even if you're a captain, sign-ups are now. You have to send an email to becivilwar at gmail.com with your SBNation name and MMAPlayground names in the subject line of the email. Do this as soon as possible, and we'll see you on the battlefield.
For the rest of the people who have fit at least one of the requirement criteria for next season, be sure to check the fanposts often once UFC 145 is completed.

Electric drums
The drummer in my band was comsidering getting the electric type of drum set. I'm not a drummer myself, and i don't know much about them, but i think it's a bad idea. I'd prefer the regular drum set, more of a real sound....nothing made up.
Although, i'd hate it if he tried to tell me what kind of guitar to get.....but whatever, he's an idiot. Anyone know more about this? Personally i think the regular kind is better......
wee..:scatter: ...wee
I thought electric drum sets were practice sets, actually...
I dunno too much about them, but I have a feeling that electronic drums are going to have just that type of sound, electronic. So I'm figuring that it all depends on what type of sounds you want out of your drums.
Perhaps you should go with him to see how they sound when he tries them out, because it's kind of a personal decision on his part but it's also somewhat a band decision. I know I'd be mad if my band's sound was significantly changed without my opinion and/or approval...
Well, that's what i thought too.....we want to play heavy enough music, and i don't think some electric drum sounds would sound good in the background.....especially like snare and bass drum, seems to me it would sound too fake.
Although it is his choice, i think drums do impact the band on a whole, and everyone should have their opinion in the saying.
I don't like electric drums very much. Most of them are sounding fake, and the good ones are expensive as shit ($4100+).
If he can afford that price for an electric drum-kit, then go ahead, but I like much better the regular acoustic wood drums...
I am getting an electric drumset for christmas. Here's why:
Plus I love the sound. They don't sound all electronic like you would think. You can be so much more inventive with them. Plus, you can go faster and get better action out of them. I would record with an accoustic set, though. Those things are badass.
I hate the feel of electronic drums. The sticks rebound *way* too much for my liking. I also abhore the fake cymbals... it's practically impossible to do realistic cymbal rolls on e-kits, and I don't like the lack of tonal difference on the toms depending on where you play like on an acoustic set.
I've been playing 3 or 4 times in an electric drum set in my life... Some stuff I've noticed...
- Cymbals are definetly sounds like they're from some rhytm-machine...
- Can't make a lots of effects, which I can do with acoustic drum kits.
- I don't feel I can control the set 100%-ly like the acoustic one... I can control them only lotsa harder.
- Some effects has fade-in times, when I play some grind on it, it doesn't sounds like a cheap pneumatic drill...
- The foot cymbal (don't know if it's the right word in english, but I know it's called 'lábcin' here... Láb is foot... Cin is cymbal...) sounds gay... I can't make even those tricks with it...
Hence buy good acoustic drums... ;)
I think here it's just called a high hat, unless I'm thinking of the wrong cymbal.
Really... Damn...
I forgot... But I knew...
Anyways, yeah, it's the high-hat... I'm kinda seedy today...
Well, anyway, you said it sounded gay...were you playing it open or closed?
Well, what do you mean?
The tricks I meant are mostly needs both opened and closed high-hats.
Do you change the setting to have it open and closed while you're playing a song?
I might have misinterpreted, but it kinda sounds like you used both for the same thing, lol, if you can follow what I'm saying.
I think this would be a correct answer:
I played on a Roland one, it had two pedals. One for the bass drum, and one for the hit hat. The hit hat pedal was working like if you stepped on it, it sounded like you stepped on an acoustic, you got even different sound if you hit the hit hat while the pedal was pushed or not. The reason the tricks didn't worked - the drum set's chips aren't able to memorize, count, and transform the resonance of the hit-hats. (hope I used the right words)
I dont own a kit, I use schools kit to rehearse with my band, and they've got an E-kit. For slow music (both heavy (Iced Earth - Damien) and light (Iced Earth - Ghost of Freedom)) they can be amazing, because you just puch a button, and you've suddenly got a completely different kit, but when you go over 140bpm, it's difficult to play, because the rebound is too high (you just sit and try to force the sticks to stay below 2000feet), and the cymbals are too fecking small (and you cant get the effect of hitting the cup of them, either). Buy an acoustic is my advice, they sound better for most music, and if you've got money for an E-kit, then buy an acoustic one and buy many different toms and stuff if you need the different sounds
Yeah, well the problem is with an electric drumkit like ppl says its a fake sound..but yeah if u hit it harder and u want more aggresion in your music..then its gonna have the same sound all the time..say u start the song with 4 hits on the symbol u want it sound light, and then say you have this really nice chunky riff..yeah the songs going great..when it comes to the ending..and he hits the snare a couple of times and hits hard at the symbol...u want a really loud symbol hit...but its just the same...ching..as it at the first..if u see what i mean..yah?:D
The kit at school does make difference for soft and hard hits. To a certain point. If you whack a cymbal the fucking hardest you can, it gives the same sound as a average hard hit. Though it cost $10000
elecrtrics sound different, i cant quite put my finger on it, but its different
All I have to say is...."ELECTRIC SET'S FUCKING SUCK!!!!!!!!!" If he get's one then you should just get a new drummer hah, but my friend has some woodstock 99 video and on there is some badn playing an acoustic set with some electric with it it was wierd.
Sound sample with electric type drum
Listen to this sample, and tell me how it sounds (the drum)...
Rarara, yes it's an electric one....
No offense, I think it sounds pretty good...
it sounds pretty fucking neat i must say.
But the end is so fucking stupid, stupid grunting shit

I'm used to Lighting Dimensions readers expressing their opinions — if I wasn't, I'd be in the nuthouse or in another job — but I was taken aback recently when an advertiser asked me, "How could you run that article about that rave guy? Do you know what goes on at those parties? It makes me sick to think about it."
He was referring to the profile of Guy Smith in the June issue. Among other things, Smith lights gay circuit parties. As the article pointed out, circuit parties have been criticized as hotbeds of drugs and sex. This advertiser doesn't fall into the category of the easily shocked — or so I thought. I pointed out that these parties use tremendous amounts of gear. I also noted that many clubs and concert venues that cater to straight audiences can be pretty gamey, too. His response: "Oh, I know. We supply gear to plenty of gay events." He paused and then said, "Maybe I'm a homophobe."
Actually, I don't think so. For one thing, he was only being honest. He wasn't angry, confrontational, or threatening. He expressed his opinion and that was that. More importantly, by his own admission, his company supplies gear to gay events. If he was a homophobe, he wouldn't have anything to do with gay clients, no matter how much money they might be willing to spend.
When it comes to covering projects we tend to follow the gear. Our criteria: Are new products being used? Are a lot of products being used? Are they being used in a unique way? We've covered political conventions, houses of worship, sporting events, and war memorials. The Pope or Cher, Thoroughly Modern Millie or Aerosmith, the Queen's Jubilee or the WWE's latest Smackdown — it's all about the creativity and the equipment.
Nevertheless, this conversation highlights a singular — and, to me, fascinating — aspect of this industry's anthropology. On the manufacturer/distributor side, the vast majority — not all, mind you — are heterosexual. On the user side, a significant number of designers — not a majority, but not a small number, either — are gay. On the surface, this doesn't matter; people get along because it's good business to do so. But you can't have an industry made up of people — often eccentric, highly individual personalities — constantly interacting, without little fault lines appearing from time to time.
Then again, people can be awfully hard to pin down. The last time I spoke to him, Guy Smith had just finished his most recent project — a 9/11 memorial concert for the right-wing Christian group Focus on the Family. (I can only imagine the comments I would get from some readers if we'd covered that event.) It's further proof that this industry often creates very strange bedfellows indeed.

Auto claims in Dougherty and Lee counties won't be
affected by the winter storm auto claims.
One insurance agent says our area should see any effect in auto rates.
Cooper with State Farm says there should not be a trickle down affect from the
bad weather that happened close to
Atlanta last week.
"Rates are based on areas and territories and the
territories that we are in southwest Georgia are not lumped in with the Atlanta
drivers. So their experience up there affects their rates and our experience
here affects our rates here locally," said Cooper.
Cooper says he filed one claim last week not related to
the weather. Auto claims in Atlanta have already reached a thousand.

Good morning! I just finished installing your tiles in a store ceiling in Regina SK - Canada. I also had painted them in a color to match the walls. I would be very interested in working with you to develop the Canadian market. Had you any plans in that direction? I am a cabinet maker and spray painter/finisher and it's spring - a very busy time for me. The company I work with would also be interested, so local display space is available - if that is necessary. Or perhaps i could just arrange showing local distributors, national distributors, etc. Ahhhh - lets just sell a hundred million of em - I like em!

We are absolutely thrilled with the Ceilume ceiling tiles. We have had so many compliments. They are one of the first things that people comment on when they walk into the basement. My contractor raves about them and said he'd never go back to using the "other" type of tiles. As you can see, we were even able to hang the light over the pool table by cutting out a small hole for the hanging fixture and wiring. Please feel free to share the photos on your website. I am so glad I found Ceilume, your product cost half of what traditional ceiling tiles would have and the look and durability is far superior. Thanks for all your help.

Create Analog Lens Flares on a DSLR with 'Lens Whacking'
Now that everyone is shooting digital (at least on the low end), it takes a few tricks to achieve an analog look. Beyond adding film grain and burnouts in post, one way to do this is to slightly detach your DSLR's lens and let in a bit of outside light during your shot. Thus the term "lens whacking," i.e. letting light in from the sides and creating lens flares the analog way. Don't literally whack your lens — but through subtle manipulation you can allow light to refract through the rear lens elements, giving you some interesting-looking flares:

Awesome, now Zacuto can sell some overpriced piece of gear to hold and wobble and such a lens just at the mount without full contact, it will be the Zwhacker® (don't try, I've already trade marked it). Not just content on hiring a focus puller we can also hire a person to be our lens whacker.
Whatever it takes to bring back that 70′s porn movie look and feel in HDSLR (sorry not actual "feel").
All in good humor, this is a cool effect.

i did this exact same thing when i was waiting for my lens adapter to come in!
I thought it looked awesome then, didnt know it had a name hahah.
Technically, this isn't a lens "flare," it's a light "leak."
Very cool idea for a lo-fi look. Love these simple hacks.

The RMNP trail does go by falls and follows a mountain stream. But there are no lakes between the trail head and the cascades. You have to hike another 2-4 miles before you will see a lake. It is a high traffic wilderness area. Nothing like the other parts in the park.
Not true rather
At least not in Idaho/Utah, wilderness does mean all roads closed, and Zero motorized vehicles,period. Been air traffic is restricted. You hardly see anyone a couple miles in, and 20 miles in, forget it, it's wild life. Absolutely true for national parks though, as they make it easy for campers and such.
The best way to protect wildlife habitat is to close all roads and re-plant them. Once it is deemed a wilderness area it is sure to have excessive human visitation.

Country Progress Report New Zealand (HIV/AIDS)
Reporting Period: January 2010 – December 2011
The Ministry of Health acknowledges the support and assistance of the HIV and AIDS sector stakeholders in preparing this report.
The initial phase involved circulation of the specific civil society questions and a consensus process for the civil society organisations to reach an agreement based on the majority view. Accordingly, there was not always total agreement among civil society on some answers.
The use of the online 'Country Viewer' level of access was used for stakeholder peer review of the draft answered online Annexes and for obtaining any final comments.
The process of finalising this Country Progress report involved both internal Ministry of Health peer review and external stakeholder peer review.

My favorite Roger Moore Bond film.
Roger Moore's best bond and easily a Top 5 for the series. Best opening sequence for the series, fun plot and the most dynamic locales (skiing in the Alps, the Pyramids, underwater in Italy, etc). For my money, this has always been my favourite Bond.
Well well well... Bond films seem to be falling into a Windows pattern, or albums by The Who: you should pay attention to every *other* one. This is worth while, the last one is a bit of a shambles, the one prior to *that* is worthwhile...
Right from the outset we're told "and now here's where Bond starts getting silly", what with the pre-titles skiing incident. Everything now is HUGE!!! DEATH-DEFYING!! WORLD THREATENING!!! LAWS OF PHYSICS DEFYING!!! DISBELIEF IGNORING!!!
That said, however, there's some fairly decent stuff in between the urges to throw things at the screen. There's a knock-down, drag-out fight on a Cairo rooftop between Bond and Sandor (Jaws's partner in crime); there's some grand sneaking around in Stomberg's sea-going lair "Atlantis" (hardly an imaginative name for an sub-ocean city, however); and there's a jim-dandy car chase that involves a motorcycle, a car, another car, a helicopter, some frog men on little zoomy things, and a little two-man submarine.
The threat to the world actually feels possible here, as far-fetched as it might seem. The dimension of the theft of world assets (i.e.: three entire nuclear powered submarines) and their storage inside a freighter is a bit odd, but the crowd scenes of three groups of submariners pitted against one large army of Evil Henchmen® is a welcome return to the era of "You Only Live Twice" and "Thunderball". Plus, Bond's resourcefulness of using a warhead's detonator as an offensive weapon is solid, and all too rare in the movies; typically he simply pulls out the little thing Q gave him and [BLAM] all is solved. It's nice to see Bond get to be smart for a change.
The down side of all this is that it does get a tad much for itself in some ways. The ad hoc HQ which MI-6 and the KGB establish inside Abu Simbel, for instance, seems more like someone taking advantage of an opportunity to film something in s neat looking place than an actual opportunity to advance the plot. Even the presence of M, Moneypenny, and Gogol seems more than required for the task. Surely a telephone call or telegram would have sufficed?
The emotional conflict between the two agents is good, and adds an unusual level of turmoil to a Bond story, even if it's not as effective as it might be. 007 wins the lady over far too easily, given the circumstances, and all it might have taken would have been a longer and smarter block of dialogue between the two agents when the crisis is revealed.
Jaws shows up here, and ultimately survives the predictable dénouement (apparently due to crowd reaction), so we'll see him again.
In the end: good. Not amazing, but it's far from crap as well.

Catflap burglaries on the rise in Warrington
10:00am Friday 17th January 2014 in News
HOMEOWNERS in Warrington East have been warned over an increase in 'catflap' burglaries.
Sgt Neil Orford, from Cheshire Police, said cases of burglaries in which a catflap has been used to gain entry are on the up.
Homes are being targeted that have a catflap in the rear door.
He said intruders are reaching in and removing keys from locks left hanging in doors.
Keys that have been left on hooks or in bowls within reach of a catflap are also being taken, in a method known as 'hooking'.
The burglar reaches in and uses an instrument to snare keys.
Doors are then unlocked and homes ransacked, according to police.
Burglaries have increased across the town in recent weeks, with 60 recorded in December and more than 30 so far this month.
Police are warning residents to ensure homes are safe, particularly during the early evening, a high risk period for break-ins.
Sgt Orford said: "Lets not make things easy for these offenders.
"By following simple steps we can reduce the opportunities to commit crime.
"Remove keys from locks once they have been secured. Do not leave keys on view. Lock and secure any side gates in order to restrict access to the rear of your properties.
"Please be vigilant during the upcoming days and report any suspicious activity."
To report a burglary call 101, or in an emergency 999.

Makes as much sense as all those people selling car-boots of a Sunday morning.
I know my mate used to go to them - but then also owned a paper shop - until it blew away in a stiff breeze.
He then started a bonsai business and did so well he had to move to smaller premises.

It's the bottom of the 9th, 2 outs and we're down by 1. Men on 2nd and 3rd. This is the game that decides whether or not the Braves go to the playoffs, go to the world series, win the world series...or just the game you bet your girlfriend that if the Braves win, she'll do that thing you've always wanted her to do (and there are no returns accepted on the polar bear costume). Who do you want to be up to bat?
I tried to do a search on stats for individual Braves in late-game situations but couldn't find it. I'm assuming this is out there somewhere because the internet has everything, so maybe someone smarter than I can find it. Heck, maybe that someone has already posted this question long ago and is silently cursing me for trying to steal his poll-making glory. But just in case not...
My initial thought is that I'm going to roll with what I imagine will be the popular choice: Brian McCann. He's our veteran, our perennial all-star, our leader. But what about Derrek Lee? He's been in this league a long time AND won a world series. How about Jason Heyward, who has been GINORMOUS in late-game situations this year? Or our favorite off-the-bench ginger, Brooks Conrad? Finally, I realized what you all are probably thinking right now, that this is the most rhetorical question ever asked. The correct answer is clearly Tommy Hanson.
Who will it be?

Samantha Lewthwaite wife of evil 7/7 murderer born in Northern Ireland but converted to Islam as a teenager is being suspected for the bombing in Mombasa that left three people dead and 27 others wounded.
Kenyan police last night said that a woman matching Lewthwaite's description had been seen near the Jericho Beer Garden shortly before a grenade attack on Sunday night ,according to The Telegraph.
"We suspect Samantha Lewthwaite was actively involved in the terrorist attack on the club," a Kenyan official told the Daily Mail.
They claimed that she had stored guns and bomb-making materials for al-Shabaab, the Somali terror group, but she escaped before officers could arrest, possibly slipping away into the chaos of Somalia.
28-year-old Samantha Lewthwaite is being hunted through East Africa in connection with a foiled plot to attack hotels in Mombasa.

Local Author Anne Lamott Does a Bay Area Book Talk Circuit
San Francisco author Anne Lamott has covered a gamut of subjects in her writing—alcoholism, single motherhood, Christianity—each with pitch-perfect transparency and irreverence. And her 1995 book, Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life, has long been a go-to gift for aspiring writers.
Last year's Imperfect Birds dealt with a rebellious teenager daughter, the anxieties of parenthood, and consequences of deception. Says the New York Times Book Review of the novel, "Lamott's observations are brutally unsentimental, not just about parental hopes and anxieties but about the particular and touching fragility of simply being a teenager…Laughter redeems this book, and so does the fact that it's ultimately not just a novel about deception and drugs but about the great big bloody battle of love and sorrow that is parenthood."
Fans of Lamott and her work can hear her speak at a number of Bay Area events over the next week in conjunction with the release of Imperfect Birds in paperback by Riverhead Trade. See what she has to say at the events below:
Tuesday, April 19 at 7 p.m. at Books Inc., 2251 Chestnut St., San Francisco

BAE defence workers help keep RAF fighter jet flying high
11:41am Tuesday 18th March 2014 in News
A 250-strong team of defence workers from East Lancashire have played a crucial role keeping a famous fighter jet in the skies.
The 'tooling team' from BAE Systems site at Samlesbury were called in to carry out never-before-attempted work on the Tornado aircraft flown by the Royal Air Force.
They worked alongside RAF engineers and colleagues from the company's in-service team from Warton to fix a problem to the top honeycomb panel. Having spotted the problem, the team at RAF Marham, Norfolk, where the aircraft is based, laser-mapped the panel and sent an image through to Samlesbury.

Canfo Natural Products SoothMe - 24 Vegetarian Capsules
Relax and live free from constipation with SoothMe. When you are constipated, your life feels miserable. Most treatments for constipation just relieve the problem. But now it is possible to not just relieve constipation, but to eliminate it completely. Laxatives act through various ways to encourage or induce the feces or stool to pass through the intestinal tract causing what is known as a bowel movement. SoothMe is a natural and effective way to relieve constipation and improve the digestive system, so you feel like yourself again. SoothMe is especially good for those who have been taking other constipation relief products with little effect. Now you can relax and live free from constipation.
Safe, with no side effects, SoothMe contains no senna or cascara. Canfo never promises "quick fixes," instead focusing on the overall body balance and stimulate body's innate healing ability over time. How can SoothMe eliminate constipation? An ancient herbal supplement formula, SoothMe blends state-of-the-art science and manufacturing processes with nature and the collective wisdom of Chinese health disciplines to prevent disease before it occurs.
Chinese Medicine is a complete medical system capable of treating disease in all its forms with a traditional view placing great importance on preventing disease before it occurs. Through thousands of years of using herbs, Oriental medicine has accumulated a wealth experience about different herbs. Experience tells us some herbs have proven to be beneficial to different parts of the body including micro systems. This knowledge also includes the side effects that might be associated with using each herb.
Starting with the purest natural ingredients, Canfo applies technology to extract and combine the most healthful proprietary herbal components to produce SoothMe. This nano-microencapsulation technology, when applied to plant extraction, greatly increases the bioavailability, or the measurement of the supplement once it passes through your stomach and it is released into your circulatory system.
SoothMe is an effective herbal supplement that can be trusted because:
Constipation may be caused by different things such as a change in the diet, not drinking enough water or even a major medical issue such as an intestinal tumor. To be on the safe side, if constipation persists, you should consult your doctor to make sure that you do not have a serious problem.
You No Longer Need To Suffer From ConstipationConstipation makes your life miserable, but it is possible to not only reduce constipation, but to eliminate it completely. SoothMe is a natural and very effective way to relieve constipation and improve the digestive system. SoothMe is especially good for those who have been taking other constipation relief products with little effect. Safe, with no side effects, SoothMe contains no senna leaf or cascara.
There are many treatments for constipation including: dietary fiber, emollient laxatives, lubricant laxatives, herbs, hyperosmolar, stimulant or Saline laxatives, senna, enemas, and the latest, called electrical pacing of the colon. When it comes to fiber, the best way of adding fiber to the diet is increasing the quantity of fruits and vegetables that are eaten. This means a minimum of five servings of fruits or vegetables every day. For many people, however, the amount of fruits and vegetables that are necessary may be inconveniently large or may not provide adequate relief from constipation. In this case, fiber supplements can be useful.
Fiber is defined as material made by plants that is not digested by the human gastrointestinal tract. Fiber is one of the mainstays in the treatment of constipation. Many types of fiber within the intestine bind to water and keep the water within the intestine. The fiber adds bulk (volume) to the stool and the water softens the stool. There are different sources of fiber which are categorized by source – such as fruits and vegetables, oat bran, wheat, psyllium seed or synthetic methyl cellulose or polycarbophil and extract of malt.
Fiber causes flatulence, or gas, which often occurs because the bacteria normally inside the colon are capable of digesting fiber to a small extent, and bacteria produce gas as a byproduct of their digestion of the fiber. What's more, because of concerns about obstruction, persons with adhesions from previous surgery or narrowing of their intestines should not use fiber unless it has been discussed with a medical practitioner.
Other types of laxatives are lubricants which contain mineral oil - plain oil or an emulsion of that oil – which resides within the intestine and typically coats the stool, preventing the removal of water from the stool, and resulting in softer stools. But only short term use is recommended because oil can absorb fat-soluble vitamins from the intestines and may lead to deficiencies if it is used for too long.
There are stimulant laxatives which cause the muscles of the small intestine and colon to propel their contents faster, plus these also increase the amount of water in the stool. This happens by reducing the absorption of the water in the colon or by causing active water secretion in the small intestines.
Stool softeners, otherwise known as emollient laxatives contain a compound called docusate, which is a wetting agent that improves the ability of water within the colon to penetrate and mix with stool in order to soften it. Stool softeners are used in the long-term treatment of constipation, but it may take a week or more to work. Emollient laxatives are commonly used to soften the stool temporarily for individuals with hemorrhoids or after childbirth or surgery.
A hyperosmolar laxative is an unabsorbable compound that remains inside the colon and retains water, resulting in a softer stool. These laxatives may be digested by colonic bacteria and turned into gas or abdominal bloating. The gas can be reduced by reducing the dose. Hyperosmolar laxatives are safe for long-term use.
There are saline laxatives that work within a few hours to help soften the stool, containing non-absorbable ions including magnesium, sulfate, phosphate, citrate, magnesium hydroxide, and/or sodium phosphate. These ions remain in the colon and cause water to be drawn into the colon. Magnesium also stimulates the colonic muscles. Magnesium-containing laxatives are partially absorbed from the intestine and into the body, and then eliminated from the body by the kidneys. Saline laxatives should not be used regularly, and they can often cause diarrhea.
Stimulant laxatives contain cascara, or castor oil, senna and aloe, and they are usually very effective. However they can cause severe diarrhea with resulting dehydration and electrolyte loss. They often cause intestinal cramping, and there are concerns that chronic use of stimulant laxatives may damage the colon. Interestingly, prunes also contain a mild colonic stimulant.
By distending the rectum with an enema the colon contracts and eliminates stool. Some enemas also have saline which causes water to be drawn into the colon. Phosphate enemas stimulate the muscles of the colon, while mineral oil or emollient enemas lubricate and soften hard stool. Enemas are meant for occasional use. A newer, experimental method known as electrical pacing of the colon relieves constipation by using electrodes implanted into the colon's muscular wall.
In summary, SoothMe is safe constipation relief, with no side effects, and this herbal supplement contains no senna or cascara*. Canfo™ never promises "quick fixes," but instead focuses on the overall body balance and stimulate body's innate healing ability to eliminate constipation completely over time.

Dividing Debts in Divorce
Locate a Local Family Lawyer
Dividing Debts in Divorce
During a divorce, you will have to sort out your financial affairs and determine not only what assets belong to whom, but also what debts belong to which partner.
The first step in dividing debt is to find out how much debt you and your partner have accumulated to this point. Finding how much debt you have between the two of you can be achieved by ordering credit reports from the three major credit reporting agencies: Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. It is also important that you stop anymore debt from accumulating. If you are trying to sort out who owes what, it makes it more difficult if the list is ever-growing.
How to Distribute Debts between Partners
Next you will want to look at the credit reports to see how much debt is considered separate debt and how much is shared debt. Obviously, the debt that solely belongs to one partner is the responsibility of that partner.However, sorting out the shared debt can be a bit more complex. There are several options divorcing partners have in order to distribute the shared debt:
- You and your partner can decide to just pay off the debt with joint assets before you proceed with getting a divorce. This saves the trouble of trying to figure out who will get which debts.
- One partner could decide to take on a greater share of the joint debts in exchange for receiving a greater share of the joint assets. While the other partner may get less of the assets, they gain by having less debts to pay off in their new life.
- You and your partner could decide to evenly split the shared debt. Note: in the eyes or your creditors, this makes you both wholly responsible for paying off your debts.
Should I Consult a Divorce Attorney?
It would be very wise for you to consult a divorce attorney while going through divorce proceedings. Your divorce attorney will be able to represent your interests in a professional manner and be able to guide you through the legal process of divorce.

So far it has well over a hundred members from all over the world, with research interests ranging across the full spectrum of English literature from Chaucer to Milton, but with a central emphasis on writing from the Tudor period. The list of members is intended to help put scholars in touch with one another by indicating shared interests and projects. Read our Mission statement.
The Tudor Symposium also holds an international conference every other year.
There is an on-line register of members, which lists the research interests and contact details of all those who wish to be included on it. Its purpose is to offer a (relatively) up-to-date "Who's Who" in Tudor Studies.
If you would like to join the Tudor Symposium - membership is free - please send details of your research interests and contact addresses to:
The Convenor,
Dr Mike Pincombe,
School of English Literature, Language and Linguistics,
Newcastle University,
Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 7RU, UK
Email: email@example.com
If you would like to be added to the e-mail list, but not to this web-page, please say so. The e-mail list is used to forward news of events and other communications which members wish to make.

This poem cannot bring you back.
This poem cannot make the clouds
move more quickly or slowly in the sky,
cannot change the weather. This poem
cannot return you to a happy childhood,
erase a painful one. This poem will
not clear your skin, condition your hair,
wash your dishes, mend your jeans.
It won't find you a lover, not even
if you recite it three times backwards.
It won't even find me a lover
and I wrote the thing. This poem won't
stop time, email your advisor for that extension,
pay the plumber or the piper. This
poem does not pay its taxes. It is not
a good citizen. It fails to vote
or show up for jury duty.
This poem will overturn your scrabble game,
take a bite from every food and leave
the rest. This poem is not housebroken.
All night you hear it whining,
missing its mother, chewing your best shoes
and begging to be let out.
–from Rattle #34, Winter 2010
