Let's say that you've done a lot of personality work, growth work, and healing work on yourself and you feel that emotionally you're in pretty good shape. Then something unfortunate happens. You're hit with an episode of sadness, an incident of anxiety, a period of overwhelm, a stint of confusion, a bout of malaise, a meaning crisis, a week of upset. As much work as we do on ourselves, these events still do happen.
These emotional changes make themselves felt in very powerful and painful ways, just as a broken leg or a severe rash would. But with emotional upheavals of this sort we typically do a funny thing. We let the incident define us. We don't "have a bout of sadness," we "are depressed." We completely identify with the problem. With a rash we say, "I have a rash," not "I am a rash." With an episode of sadness we do the exact opposite. We say, "I am depressed" instead of "I have sadness." This is a huge difference and a huge problem.

The Allegheny County District Attorney Narcotics Enforcement Team arrested two McKees Rocks men this morning in a heroin bust that netted 350 stamp bags of suspected heroin as well as about 70 grams of suspected raw heroin — enough to package into 10,000 bags, the DA's spokesman said.
Police took into custody Andre Woods, who turns 45 today, and Damany Hayes, 30, who live at 312 Shingiss St., where the warrant was executed.
Charges are being prepared against both of them, said Mike Manko, spokesman for District Attorney Stephen A. Zappala Jr.
None of the packaged heroin was marked with any of the labels that have been linked to as many as 22 fatal overdoses in Western Pennsylvania this month caused by heroin laced with fentanyl, a powerful painkiller.
But police were alerted to the drug operation earlier this week after interviewing a person who had overdosed after taking heroin marked "Theraflu," one of the stamp bags containing heroin and fentanyl.
Detectives set up undercover drug purchases, leading to the execution of the search warrant.
The seized heroin must be tested in a laboratory to determine whether it contains fentanyl.
Police also recovered two weapons, a small amount of cash and suspected marijuana.
Participating in the investigation were the McKees Rocks, Stowe, Swissvale and North Versailles police departments along with the Pennsylvania State Police.

Ok so doing some searches here I found very few things on replacing the water with cider or juices. I've heard people saying they wouldn't mash or boil it so on. But I haven't really found anyone that has actually tried it. Maybe I missed something, If I did please let me know. But I had decided to try and make a beer with only apple cider a few years back. It was extract then and it came out delicious! Now I've moved on to all-grain and was wondering if I could do the same thing. I did a small test to see if you can mash with cider or not. The test was a BIAB set up, this is what I got.
*Apple Cider 1.045 @60F
*1 pound of 2-row infused at 154F with 1/2 gallon of Apple Cider
*added second 1/2 gallon of Apple Cider to bring temp back up
*mashed for 1 hour
*no sparge, no boil
*pre-boil OG 1.076 @60F
So I can only figure that you can mash with apple cider and still get a semi ok efficiency. Any thoughts on the subject? Might be doing a full 5 gallon brew this weekend so anything would be of help. Thanks again guys.
How did this turn out?
I ask because I made a 1 gal batch of cider last night, used cider instead of water to mash some specialty grains (crystal and wheat). I was hoping to increase the body and add a hint of caramel. Will also be adding some caramel sugar later on in fermentation.
My thought if I were going to do it would be to mash like beer and add concentrate to it post boil. I dont know how well mashing in apple cider would work
P1 Strawberry bannna melomel
p2 mixed berry cyser
p3 lemon ginger melomel
2 gallon fermenting kit is OTW!!!
I can't imagine it could be too much different than water...it would be like using a decoction addition
Well i never got to brew it. Stupid bills and everything. It's still kicking around my to do list and i got a friend who's willing to back it. Maybe i'll give him a call.
Apple cider is mostly.....wait for it......WATER. You aren't really REPLACING water with cider, you are basically just doing a fruit and sugar addition in the mash instead of in secondary. The end result is practically the same. However, if you aren't hopping this, I'm not sure you can call it a cider-infused beer. It's more like a malt-infused cider.
You probably should still get the wort up to 161F+ for about 10 minutes following the mash to sanatize it since you are adding unsanatized grain.
Very interested to see how this turns out. Keep us posted!!

Primary #3 - EMPTY!
Secondary #1 - Downtown Flanders Brown (brewed August 2012)
Keg #1 - Oktoberfest

Keg #3 - Pumpkin Ale
Bottled - NONE!
My only real concern with something like this would be boiling the cider/wort. This will set the natural pectins in the cider and you could end up with a permanently hazy beverage. Not sure that it will affect the flavor, so it might not be that big a deal, but still something to consider.
FWIW I brewed up something similar a couple weeks ago. Basically I made a small batch of wort and combined it with a couple gallons of local cider in the fermenter. I'm excited about it, but it is still fermenting so only time will tell if it is any good or not. Recipe/process in on my beer blog (linked below in my sig) if anyone is interested.
Well like I said earlier I have already done this beer as an extract. Boiled amd added hops so it is a beer type. From what i remember there wasn.t really a haze problem. Added enough pectin enzyme during fermentation and let it settle out long enough. Also my real question beginning with this was how much sugar could water hold and if a sugar infused water, aka cider could extract more sugar. My small experiment seemed to work to a degree.
The pH of cider is far below optimal ranges for a normal mash. That seems to me to be the main concern going into this, but I do believe this is something I'll try relatively soon.

Recycling our artificial tree.
|Fri, 01-04-2013 - 10:11am
For about ten years now we've had an artificial tree.....and the Scouts always come by, (sometimes even the same kids) and offer to have it composted for a small fee.
I'm sure the guy running the shredder is going to be thrilled if someone feeds in all that metal and I'm pretty sure the needles wouldn't compost either......
Maybe they thought we changed our minds and bought a real tree...but I think it's just lack of record keeping.....LOL!

The show might as well be renamed "Secret Agent N".
Good episode. I love how much Plasma hates N, and N refusing to travel with Satoshi because he hates battles. XD
Loved it. N was quite adorable :3 I'm watching it again when I come back home from school.
And this episode's senryuu was way stupider (is that a word?) than average XD
This episode was really exciting! We got N's flaws fleshed out, showing how reckless he can be and how much pain he goes through protecting Pokemon. His ingenious plan to get Braviary out of the Pokemon Centre came off as being lulzy and bit too predictable to me, but it worked out in the end XD. The Plasma grunts were good doing their job, and I liked seeing them. I liked the development N got looking at Ash and Iris battle. It's noteworthy how Iris put her Excadrill back in his Pokeball when he was tired. She could have kept pushing him to help defeat the Zangoose, but didn't, which goes to show that she didn't forget what she learned when he came to trusting her. I also liked the Braviary, how he didn't just ditch N and left him get hurt by the Zangoose and Seviper and how he also helped fight back. The scene with the gang preventing the Braviary from going to help N was very touching too. It also made me a bit sad because their time together is almost up in this saga, so they don't have much time left for more memories.
Another, "N" episode without Team Rocket.
So I guess all the people who thought TR's "return" to the series meant they would be in every episode again and become comedic again were dead wrong. Their appearances in the N saga are virtually the same as all of BW. They appear in a few pointless fillers, (like that Mareep episode), but otherwise are still plot centric and don't appear when they don't have to.
N sort of had a little high-pitched squeal when he was first attacked.
Oh gosh, Celestial Tower's theme was in the background. That is bar none my favorite BGM. But then they play goofy music while TP zoom in on the Pokemon Center.
I understand N wanted to trick Team Plasma with that fake Warrgle with the tracer, but why didn't he just throw the tracer into the woods and run off with Satoshi and the gang? It would have saved him from being attacked again.
This was a really great episode. I like N more in the anime than I did in the games, where he was trying too hard to be mysterious. This N is more sympathetic and interesting here. I only wish Iris got in a "kodomo ne" in this episode; I didn't hear her say it once.
Team Fairy
Sprites from Serebii.net
That's the thing; I didn't hear her say it once throughout the episode. Maybe she did say it and I didn't notice. But Dent had a bigger talking role in this episode than her.
Team Fairy
Sprites from Serebii.net
So this episode was an okay way to make Team Plamsa good bad guys
Spectacular episode, I really, really liked it!
First of all, N. Greatest character ever, and that's not even an exaggeration. I've loved him immensly in both of the episodes which we've seen him appear in now, and he just keeps growing on me, and as Contrary mentioned, I definitely prefer animé!N over game!N. His heroic and completely unselfish actions are truly inspirable, and all of those attacks he kept taking for Braviary did surely mess him up pretty badly, yet he never even hesitated or seemed to regret his actions, because as long as Braviary was fine he semed to be alright. Seeing him run away with the fake Braviary was the most heroic thing he did, however, and that I loved. I love this recklessness of his, though it do appear to be one of his flaws too. If Braviary, Ash and the others hadn't appeared to save him, N surely would've been in grave danger.
I really wished he could become a permanent member in the gang, though at the same time that might just take away the magic coming from his character.
As for the Team Plasma members... I really like how they're making two regular grunts so frightening and powerful, and the combination of Seviper and Zangoose was interesting, but also somewhat unrealistic due to what we've previously seen from the two of them. They were both obviously rather strong Pokémon however, and it was rather intense seeing how they insisted on attacking N despite him being completely defenseless.
The battle(s) we had was great as well. Seeing Ash and Iris take on the role of doing the battling made perfect sense and only further established Iris' character trait of always standing up against things she thinks is wrong or just unfair. Lots of times before have we seen her step up aggressivley as soon as something she did not approve of occured, as Shamus's treatment towards Tepig, Officer Jenny's decisions regarding Dragonite, Team Rocket etc., so I really liked how she immediately stepped up alongside Ash to battle them. While the battle we saw wasn't all that spectacular, it still was great seeing Excadrill and Pikachu take Zangoose and Seviper on, although I was surprised to see Focus Blast of all its moves be the attack to take down Seviper. I guess a long-range move was the only attack that could counter Seviper's attack.
Overall, fantastic episode! N, Ash, Cilan, Iris, Plasma grunts, Braviary etc, they were all really good, and if Episode N keeps this up Team Plasma will surely become my favorite villanious team in the anime as of yet, they're really impressive.
Knowing N, I doubt he'd want to take any risks. After all, if he just had thrown the tracer away the Plasma grunts would quickly get on the move searching for the others again, and since they also were slowed down by Braivary there could be a risk to them being find out. Thus, he decided to lure them away, since that helped him buy quite a lot of time for the others to make an escape.I understand N wanted to trick Team Plasma with that fake Warrgle with the tracer, but why didn't he just throw the tracer into the woods and run off with Satoshi and the gang? It would have saved him from being attacked again.
This episode didn't seem that impressive, but it certainly continued the tone of the Plasma plot. I didn't play B/W2, but this is the kind of development I expected N to have. My sources tell me that is not so, and he is still a righteous snot. The only complaint I have is that it makes N seem too good, but compared to everyone else, it's kind of refreshing to see a person that knows what they're doing in the anime. At least Ash and co. had to bail him out. I'll only say this ep is okay. That's still better than what I've said for most of BW
Step into the Fairy circle
Agreeing with every one else, yet another amazing TP/N episode! I really liked this episode, it was dialogue-heavy at some scenes so I probably didn't appreciate the episode as much as I could have but it was good. Hands down N is becoming one of my favorite characters, why? Mainly because of how much he went through for Wargle's sake this episode. He shows an unselfish and considerate nature of the Pokemon, not in the Satoshi way, but in his own way. TP and N were my favorite antagonist of the game, in the game he comes off as more cryptic and delusional in PokeSpe he comes off as more antagonistic and psychotic. In the anime he comes off as being heroic with a hint of man-childish behavior, not unlike his game counterpart but still has a natural feel to it. It's hard to explain.
You can especially feel the emotion during the first scene where N gets backslashed/bitten by Nero and Bianco's Habunake and Zangoose, that mainly has to do with how good his VA is. In all honesty I thought N's VA did an excellent job and in-comparison to more popular VAs like Mamoru Miyano, I'll never understand why the latter is so popular. MamoMiya just seems so standard and I never understood why he was so popular aside from being a Japanese Jonas Brother-type idol, Aoi Yuki is a pretty newbie VA I know, but her VAing never came off as good as Yuichi Nakamura's in this ep. I just really liked the Wargle's grateful nature, knowing just how much turmoil and pain N was going through. His interactions were great and he meshed well with Satoshi-tachi, I also really liked how at the end Dento starts to talk about the marriage between the four of them. XD
Bianco and Nero weren't standard grunts, they're anime exclusive but they stand-out in their own right. One of my problems with Galactic, Aqua, and Magma grunts and TR agents is most of them just seem like general copies of each other with the same exact Pokemon. Mostly the ugly-looking bats. These two grunts were rather badass, I like how their names are Italian for black and white and they have two Pokemon that are black and white. It was nice to see Zangoose and Habunake not trying to kill each other given they supposedly have been feuding for generations. Cool to see Doryuzu get a win, he hasn't had one in a while, Iris clearly was going for a second KO with Zangoose which was unsurprising.
The small reference to Iris's development back in Langley's debut episode originally went over my head, though it was nice that once Doryuzu was tiring Iris considered his feeling and returned him to his Pokeball. N saw that and seemed to might have developed a little from seeing a trainer care for their Pokemon like that, given one of Iris's past flaws was that she couldn't understand her Pokemon very well, specifically Doryuzu and the Ononodo from her young childhood. I also liked the moment where N was examining Satoshi and Pikachu during the bout with Zangoose, I personally would have preferred seeing Satoshi use something other than Pikachu however.
I think the writers really got N down and this is exactly what I mean when it comes to the quality of an antagonist and not the quantity. Team Galactic were underwhelming and anticlimactic but the writers seem to be doing well by TP. It was nice seeing my favorite Isshu bird, he kinda looked high throughout this episode which was amusing. I really liked the bond he formed with N. N's intelligence with getting into the truck, making a plan, and also his athleticism were amazing. It reminded me of how he's a prodigy in the games.
Overall, it was another great TP/N episode.
Almost forgot, loved the fact that N was freeing a Wargle from TP. Because eagles represent liberation.

Heroine Addiction(M/F, chloroform, bondage, tickling, superheroine cosplay)The voluptuous black woman was seated before her dressing mirror and putting the finishing touches on her outfit when the doorbell rang. Stifling her annoyance at the unexpected intrusion, she glanced at her reflection and liked what she saw: radiant in a purple leotard with indigo gossamer strands trailing from her shoulders, lavender leggings and sleeves, with violet boots and capped with an ornate violet mask, she was the very image of Lady Lilac. She rose to answer the door and was about to remove the mask, then thought better of it. Her visitor, whoever it was, deserved the full majesty of her costuming brilliance.Opening the door, she was momentarily taken aback. "Oh, hello! I wasn't expecting to see you this early. What do you think of my ensemble?" she asked, performing a graceful pirouette that sent her gossamer 'cape' fluttering. "Come on in, you can tell me how fantastic I look over a cup of coffee." She left the do
Persistence of Vision(M/F, F/F, F/M, chloroform, bondage, kidnapping, homage)PC Penelope Pembroke was feeling somewhat melancholy as she strolled home after a long day's work at the station house. The undercover operation targeting substandard gentlemen burglars had concluded two weeks ago, and Penelope had grown weary of processing the reports. Clerical duties, tedious enough on their own, seemed even more burdensome after experiencing the excitement of regular field engagements. However, there was nothing to do for it; the bureaucracy demanded a steady diet of paperwork. But what really left Penelope cold was the treatment she was getting from the gentleman burglar community. Rare was the week when she could safely travel home without being accosted at least three nights out of seven. But ever since the sting operation had begun bringing down their colleagues, the community had closed ranks and ceased courting her. For Penelope, this was a devastating development, for she quite liked their attenti
Another Midnight AcquisitionThe glowing numbers on the nightstand clock tell you it isn't time to rise, but sleep remains elusive. Only a few pages into the book you're reading and boredom quickly surpasses insomnia as your primary foe.You're not hungry, but a snack sounds good. A glance in the fridge reminds you of the shopping you haven't done, so you settle on the remnants of a pack of crackers. Stale saltines offer little comfort, but at least you didn't leave the kitchen empty-handed.Which leaves late night television as your only remaining option. You grab a seat and start channel surfing, only to find the infomercial parade is in full swing. But you won't be suffering it for long.The hand that clamps over your mouth drives all other concerns from your mind while the numbing sweetness filling your nostrils is doing its best to make further thinking impossible. As your struggles inevitably fade and a silent darkness beckons, it occurs to you that your sleepless night is coming to an end. What lies beyond
The Job of Her Dreams(M/F, chloroform, bondage, kidnapping)Kitty Moore peered around the corner. No one in sight for the entire length of the corridor, so she moved quietly to the first door. The lovely black woman was not exactly dressed for stealth in a semi-transparent blue blouse (through which her black-and-white checkerboard bra was clearly visible), a black skirt so short and snug it could almost be mistaken for hot pants, and four-inch black pumps, but then she enjoyed being the center of attention. It was one of the reasons she had found her way into this line of work.She carefully turned the doorknob. Locked. On to the next one, then. Kitty continued to look forward and back as she proceeded down the hallway, her long blue-black hair (half of which had been wound into tiny braids, the other half loose) whipping with each quick glance. The second doorknob didn't budge, either, but the third one did. She opened it an inch or two, scanning the room through the sliver of daylight. No sign of anyone
Happy Birthday to Mmmph!"Honey, the cake is ready! Come on!""Almost done, sweetie! Just putting the finishing touches on this story!"The woman fumed. "That's what you said twenty minutes ago! Stop writing and get in here so you can blow the candles out!""Be there in a sec!" he replied, still typing away.She shook her head. It was apparent there was only one way to get him to stop and she wasn't the least bit reluctant to use it. So off she went to the bedroom, where they kept the bottle of Beddy-Bye. She took the bottle and was about to grab a clean pair of her panties from the dresser, when another idea occurred to her.He was oblivious to her presence, but that would change in short order. Coming up behind him, she slapped the damp cloth to his nose and mouth and pulled him away from the computer. He mmmphed in surprise, his hands coming up in a desperate attempt to get the odorous wetness away from his face, but she just laughed at his futile efforts. Every breath he took seemed to erode his grip on re
Customer ServicedJennifer braced herself for the hell she was about to enter, hoping this time would be less torturous than the last."Thank you for calling the Welbit-Notfurlong Corporation customer service hotline. Please listen carefully as our menu has changed." Jen sighed, already sensing a rising tide of frustration about to crash over her."If you're calling from a touch-tone phone, press '1' now. If you're calling from a rotary phone, please stand by and one of our time-travelling associates will attempt to bring you into the twenty-first century." Jen blinked at that; she wasn't expecting a voice mail menu with a sense of humor. Smiling, she pressed '1.'"In order to maintain a high level of quality, your call may be monitored. In the event that your call falls below our minimum standard, you may be immediately disconnected and your number blocked. Please do not disappoint us." Okay, now they're pushing the humor a bit too far, she thought, shaking her head. But at least they're tryi
In SecurityA security chief's job consists of either blood-pumping adrenaline or crushing boredom, as Sebastian Lee knew only too well. He was fully expecting the latter to define his day, but a fortuitous glance at the monitors covering the main doors indicated the former would prevail. For entering his building was none other than the accomplished thief Abigail Quinn, known colloquially as Abby Q.He didn't need facial recognition software to know it was her; he'd made her the focus of his off-work studies, and there was no mistaking the lady: the shoulder-length brunette hair, the piercing gaze, the confident stride -- almost a swagger, he noted with satisfaction -- and that lovely nose of hers. She never bothered to disguise herself, not that her nose would allow it. It was as distinctive as a fingerprint, a DNA sample, or a snowflake; there was no other like it in the world. Lee smiled. His day had just improved exponentially.She made her way to the information desk, where she'd no doubt be
A Ticklish Situation(F/F, chloroform, kidnapping, bondage, tickling)The young black woman was frantically looking around as she waited for the call to go through. "Please be there... please be there..." Hearing footsteps, she ducked deeper into the shadows, trying to make herself invisible. "C'mon, be there and pick up..." she muttered, a mantra that was fast becoming a prayer. Four rings later, the voice mail engaged. She rolled her dark brown eyes, exasperated but not surprised. She's probably tied up somewhere... and with my luck, I'm about to join her, she thought."Sissy, it's me. I need you to bring Jim and as many of his friends as you can. My boss -- mmmph!" Her whispered message was abruptly cut off by the application of a soft wet cloth over her mouth and nose, the phone wrenched from her hand. As the pungent fumes began to fill her nostrils and scramble her mental processes, she fought desperately to get the sweet-smelling thing off her face. But her attacker was too strong, and

Yes. If it is played from your hand or comes into play from your hand, it counts against the limit.
Putting cards into shadows does count against the limit, bringing cards out of shadows does not. The cards that are put into shadows with City of Lies do count against the limit, because they come from your hand. The card that comes into play with At the Gates does not count against the limit, because it does not come from your hand.

Dear Mr. Pink from Reservoir Dogs,
This is not an answer to this question specifically, but have you taken a gander at the FAQ yet?
If not, it might help you find a lot of answers to the questions you have and any future questions you may have as well.
Keep in mind, this is not a ploy to discourage you from asking questions on this forum at all. This is just to show you that there is lots of helpful information in the FAQ that has a lot of answers to your questions. Unfortunately, the FAQ is daunting and sometimes creates more questions than provides answers to some as well.
Hopefully that helps you if you haven't been lead to the FAQ yet.

Effectively, with Fear of Winter out, only one card total (of any kind) can leave your hand, unless it is going to the discard pile.
(That's a slight oversimplification - any number of cards can leave your hand on their way to your dead pile or deck, too - but it holds true in 99.9% of situations).

This tart tastes as good as it looks! There are, however, problems with the recipe. I agree that more chocolate wafers and more butter is needed for the crust. Also, it is possible to find spreadable almond paste (or marzipan) in cans and in tubes, but I found it more economical to buy blanched almonds and make my own (recipe on epicurious.com)! I recommend rolling the paste between two pieces of cling wrap then placing it in the crust and peeling it away from the plastic. I used Luxardo cherry liqueur and it was fantastic! Good luck...the guests will love it!
I made this for a party, and it was a big hit; wife loved it also. Very pretty. I agree with Jane Booker on the cookie crumbs; the recipe doesn't specify enough. You'll want to watch the crust during early baking to "tamp" it down (don't blow that part off figuring it is optional, as I almost did...) The almond paste is a big pain if you haven't used it before; the wet fingers is a good tip, along with pre-flattening it before placing on the crust.
I made this for a ladies lunch. It was a fantastic presentation. I used Framboise instead of Kirsh. I used one tube of almond paste, should have used two. I also would have put more jam and framboise on top for a thicker coating. It was a hit, the girls loved it.
A few things to know about this recipe. First 1 and 1/4 cup of the chocolate crumbs is not enough. I ended up using about 1 and 3/4 of a cup with about 5 tablespoons of butter melted. The almond paste comes in a tube and when it says to break it up what I think they are really saying is break off pieces and flatten in your fingers then press down to crust. Also as as side note when working with the almond paste it will stick to your fingers. Wet them with cold water and it becomes much easier to work with.

Buckeye's CEO Presents At UBS Global Paper & Forest Products Conference (Transcript)
Looking at slide number four, Buckeye is a leading producer of value added cellulose-based specialty products. Our specialty pulps are made from both wood and cotton linter fibers which undergo chemical processes.
They go into many of the niche markets displaced on this slide and their prices are generally higher and more stable than traditional paper pulp of lower purity viscose is like lower -- traditional paper pulps are lower-purity viscose dissolving pulps. They are also highly technical in nature which limits competition.
This is our pulp pyramid. Our specialty pulps are at the top of this pyramid they are most difficult to produce and have the highest level of purity or alpha cellulose content. We are focused on the 94% to 99% alpha area. Low end dissolving namely viscose use for producing rayon is round the 92% alpha level.
In addition, we produce fluff pulp which is mainly used in absorbent end applications. It is represented by the green portion of the pyramid, fluff pulp is traditionally been more commodity like although it has been more stable in the recent years. In fact, we attribute to demand growth, which we estimated about 4% per year, primarily out of emerging markets.Over the last 12 months, the fluff pulp price has declined after reaching record levels. However, since a recent of low of $910 per ton, the recent index has generally trended upwards and was $940 per ton last week. Buckeye fluff pulp has priced up this index. 90% of the world's fluff pulp is produced in Southern United States due to the favorable absorbency characteristics for diapers, feminine care and other products that the Southern Yellow Pine wood provides. No one is building a new fluff pulp mill in the Southern U.S. and has not done so for many years due to the cost and issues residing on. While several existing paper pulp mills have recently converted to fluff there are also a couple of convergences away from fluff including projects we are undertaking to increase our capacity of higher purity pulps. I will discuss this product -- project in more detail later. Bottom line the fluff pulp demand is growing at a good rate and long-term supply has somewhat limited.

I'm currently looking to move back to portsmouth and need to find a job (i've already got accomodation sorted). I used to work for the city council in the school support team on the curriculum side (was involved in setting up about 6 or 7 new ict suites of win 2k3 server and xp).
At the moment I'm working in a primary school in kent but am coming to the end of the amount of things I can learn/be able to do within the school due to financial constraints, and also time constraints as they can't up my hours and realistically I need to find a full time job. I've got 2 years + experience of working in ICT support (I spent a year working in industry in london as part of my Computer Science degree). I'm not so good on SIMS but am learning all the time.
So if anyone hears of any posts coming up, could you possibly email me or pm me I'd be very greatful :D
At the mo, I'm checking all of the council and university websites and newspaper websites for that area, but nothing seems to be around.

.- The Secretary General of the Venezuelan Bishops Conference, Archbishop Luis Azuaje, said this week the educational plans the government is developing should "defend the dignity of the human person and personal growth."
During a break at the bishops' Assembly, the archbishop said the Conference has "many expectations about the decisions" the government is making on educational issues and he clarified that for the Church education is a pastoral issue, not a political one. He added, "Every opportunity the Venezuelan people can have to obtain knowledge is good, but they should be linked to the creation of a free and responsible conscience in response to the country's situation."
In this sense he emphasized that the Church, together with the Venezuelan Association of Catholic Education, would study the changes made by the government, to see if "they favor comprehension or if they are a band-aid for maintaining populism or some other form of political loyalty."
Archbishop Azuaje said the Conference would draft a report on the work of the Church in education. He pointed out that the Church assists half a million children and young people in the country.

Renaissance Faire continues tradition of feeding the needy
The charity event, held each year in the backyard of Bob and Marghi Bean's house at 19 Thorne Road, benefits the New Hampshire Food Bank. Proceeds from this year's fair will also benefit the Rockingham Meals on Wheels and the Shepherd's Pantry, a group of volunteers who provide food to people in need in Windham and surrounding communities.
The fair attracts fairies, ninjas, gypsies, knights, pirates and others who don their period clothing to recreate a scene back in 1588.
Scavenger hunts, jousting, historical encampments, musical acts, storytelling, comedy and bellydancing are among the entertainment planned for the faire.
This year's faire will also feature its first interactive archery range. (See related story, Page 15 of NHWeekend).
More than 45 vendors will be on hand as well, selling jewelry, leather goods, weapons and armor, clothing and other items. Other vendors will demonstrate their crafts.
The fair will be held this weekend and continue next weekend, May 11, 12, 18 and 19, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Ticket prices are $12 for adults, $8 for children ages 5 to 12, and children under 4 are admitted free. For more information, go to nhrenfaire.com.

Amazon Kindle Fire HDX Review: Size Matters
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Amazon's (AMZN) new Kindle Fire HDX tablet is a vast improvement over last year's model. Nonetheless, it's not an iPad mini killer as it has more than a few flaws.
Amazon was kind enough to send me the 7-inch version of the recently announced to review.
When the device was announced, my reaction to it was muted, perhaps even negative. But after using it for a few days, my impressions are more positive, and it's likely to sell better than the previous versions as the online retailing giant continues to refine its hardware offerings and push sales.
The first thing you'll notice about the new Kindle Fire is the glossiness of the screen. Amazon packed the screen with 323 pixels per inch (ppi), one area where the Kindle outshines Apple's (AAPL) iPad mini, which has 163 ppi. It should be noted, however, that Apple may improve that facet of the iPad mini later this month.The operating system, Fire OS 3.0, is much smoother than it was on last year's tablet, and browsing and navigating through the tablet is a definitely breeze. Fire OS 3.0 is built on Google's (GOOG) Android 4.2 operating system, codenamed Jelly Bean, but it looks nothing like a stock Android operating system, and that's more than good enough for me. The Qualcomm (QCOM) Snapdragon 800 2.2 GHz processor really allows the tablet to perform at a capacity and a level one would expect for $229 (users can pay an additional $15 to get rid of the advertising supported home page), perhaps even exceeding it a touch. An Amazon spokeswoman said Fire OS will be updated in mid-November as the company continues "to sand the edges of the software a little bit ahead of shipping to customers." Watching movies on the device is a pleasure, as it was last year. This year, the HD is true HD, and while it still requires a bit of time for the HD to "load," it's a vast improvement. I found myself using X-Ray, the feature using Amazon's IMDB website to look at actors names, and tidbits and trivia about World War Z, and felt that it added to the experience. There's still no 16:9 aspect ratio on the device, so watching movies in the letter-box format is still somewhat unpleasant. X-Ray for Music is also cool as it actually shows you the lyrics to the song you're playing that you've purchased from Amazon. I'm happy to report that I now know all the lyrics to Blurred Lines (though that's knowledge I probably could do without). The Kindle Fire HDX continues to have terrific sound, using Dolby (DLB) Digital Plus audio and 5.1 multi-channel surround sound. Watching an action movie such as World War Z, where sound quality is important, this is one area where the Fire HDX continues to surpass the iPad mini and Google's Nexus 7. An additional feature (of course for an additional price), is Amazon's unique Origami cover. The cover folds into a stand to make video watching and Web browsing much easier than with last year's case. The iPad already offers a fold-able case to allow for this, but this shows that Amazon is continuing to catch up to the competition and refine its efforts, even if it is taking longer than it should. Buying apps, videos, books, magazines, and shopping on Amazon's website are a breeze. Amazon has made the integration seamless, and given that it's Amazon primary motive for selling the device, it should be. One innovative feature which I did like was the Mayday button, Amazon's feature to help users who have troubles with their tablets. An Amazon Tech Advsor will access your device remotely, within 15 seconds or less, and help you with your queries. It's still not fully staffed, since the device doesn't start shipping yet, but it is a nice feature which I initially questioned.

In the world of stand-up, some comedians take the idea of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" perhaps a little too close to heart, relying years later on gimmicky bits that earned laughs early in the career.
We're not talking about time-tested comedy gold — Gallagher's Sledge-O-Matic. Rodney Dangerfield's "No respect." Jeff Foxworthy's "You might be a redneck."
No, we're talking about the realm of mid-level hackery. Craig "Love Master" Shoemaker. Kevin Meaney's "Psycho"-worthy impersonations of his mother. Yakov Smirnoff's "What a country!"
Into the mix may we humbly toss Jeff Dunham's name. He's a stand-up who still performs a ventriloquist act relying heavily on the same three puppets he's been using for years and years: There's Peanut, a fuzzy felt-fleshed alien; sourpuss old curmudgeon Walter; and José, a vaguely racist, anthropomorphized jalapeño on a stick. (Newer puppets in Dunham's act walk the same ethnic line: There's Bubba the redneck and an ebonic black puppet, Sweet Daddy Dee.) Not that the same old schtick doesn't earn Dunham fresh laughs. Acerbic-tongued Walter's the biggest celeb of the puppet bunch, usually called upon to say outlandish things on late-night talk shows and do guest spots on Fox Sports' "The Best
Damn Sports Show Period."
Count on Dunham to deliver much of the usual — Walter talking smack about local sports teams and people in the crowd, José talking about life on a steek — when he brings his act to the Tempe Improv for a weekend stint.

How To Remove Wine Bottle Cork Without Cork Screw
Every once in a while we'll pack up a basket with cheeses, fruits, some brie and crackers etc. and select a great bottle of wine to enjoy out on a picnic or rendezvous somewhere. One of the biggest disappointments is laying out your blanket under a nice shady tree, setting out all your goodies and suddenly realize you forgot the cork screw to open your wine.
If you ever get caught in this situation, here's a great way to to not only open that bottle of wine and keep that special someone happy but there's a good chance you'll also impress the heck out of them too. I'm really glad I found this tip to share with you and I hope it comes in handy one day. Make sure you share this with your friends, we've all been there!
How to open a bottle of wine… without a cork screw.
How To Order and Taste Wine Like A Pro
Stages of Sparkling Wine Production
Did you know that in the 18th and 19th Centuries, a good bottle of sparkling wine could contain up to 200 grams of sugar? That's more sugar than eating an entire box of Kellogg's Frosted Flakes! Here's a great chart breaking down the classification and stages of different sparkling wines in regards to their overall sugar content. The chart includes production as well as bottle placement.

Wine Terms and Definitions
When hearing someone define the taste or the texture of a wine, it can be interesting and quite comical. I will never forget the first time I heard someone refer to the wine as Barnyard. HUH?? Well, that term refers to the flavor or smell of manure…Double Huh??
The question is, who has really tasted manure anyway?
On The Wine Lovers Page, they define it quite nicely. In the sometimes slightly wacky world of wine evaluation, it is entirely possible for a wine taster to say, "This wine tastes like $#@*!" … and mean it as a compliment.
Let's take a look at bad flavors in good wines, and specifically brettanomyces ("Breh-TAN-oh-MY-sees" or just plain "brett" for short). Brett is a wild yeast that's sometimes found on grapeskins and that can get into wine barrels, where it resides and grows and can be almost impossible to remove. When brett appears in a wine, it creates earthy organic aromas and flavors that don't sound appetizing. The aroma of brett-afflicted wines may range from leathery to mousey, wet-fur, or "barnyard" aromas like chicken manure or horse sweat. Some tasters also find a twangy metallic quality in the aftertaste of bretty wines. In short, it's no coincidence that many wine scientists refer to wines with brett as "afflicted" or "infected." Read entire post here…
Another funny one is Cat Pee, referring to a Sauvignon Blanc , which I have personally experienced when drinking this varietal. So with that said, there are many interesting ways to define the wine you are tasting. I think it could either be super funny or extremely annoying to throw around some of these terms depending on the company you're with.
Here are some terms from Wine Folly, one of my favorite wine blogs.
CHEWY: When you take a sip of wine with chewy tannins, it dries out the interior of your mouth so that you "chew" or clean the tannins of the insides of your mouth.
CIGAR BOX: Cigar box flavors are hinting toward sweetness and cedar-wood with an abundance of smoke. This is a super positive and desirable characteristic that wine writers love to use when they find a wine they wish they could just slowly sip on a leather chair.
FLABBY: Flabby means the wine has no acidity.
BRIGHT: Bright wines are higher in acidity and make your mouth water.
Go on and have some fun with these. For a full list visit Wine Folly. Their Motto is, Learn by drinking.
Cin, Cin Salute!
Late Harvest and Dessert Wine
What makes a dessert Wine a Dessert Wine?
Wikipedia says, "In the United States, by contrast, a dessert wine is legally defined as any wine over 14% alcohol by volume, which includes all fortified wines."
Wow! To my knowledge MOST wines that I drink on a regular basis are over 14% alcohol by volume, and that doesn't make them a sweet wine. There are many sweet dessert style wines, here are just a few.
Late Harvest, Ice Wine, Moscato, Port, Madeira, Sherry, Raisin or Straw wine… the list goes on and on.
If you are interested in more detailed information, visit Wine For Beginners. They offer some great information and content about dessert wines.
Twilight Ridge 2009 Petite Sirah-Lake County
Rich, Lush, Thick mouth fill. Everything a beautiful Petite Sirah should be and in a sweet way. What I love the most about this wine is that it has a nice amount of acids and tannins that balance out the sweetness making it worth drinking a decent size glass of. LOVELY!!!
Our friends Doug and Kat from SUNSET CELLARS produce some really amazing red wines; including a brilliant 2007 Barbera that will knock your socks off!
Don't be afraid to drink the sweet stuff.
Cin,Cin, Salute!
Cheese – Wine's Best Friend
A cracker to clear the palate, some sweets or candy to pair with the desert wine, but it seems like cheese is the most commonly paired food that goes best with any and all wines. Why cheese? Why not? Different cheese's paired with the appropriate wines can accentuate the flavors in both the wine and the cheese.
The chart above will help you to determine which cheese's go best with which white or red wines, but keep in mind that there are no rules. Likes, taste, and desire is and always will be about personal preference.
Wine Pairing Made Easy
This wine goes best with…
and you'll want to have a Cabernet if you're having…
and fish is always best served with chilled…
If you're like me, you really have no clue what wine goes best with what food or meal unless you have an expert to tell you, or a guide to simplify the guessing and tasting game. Now you can make Wine Pairing easy and fun. Use this guide for pairing wine and food.
Drinking Wine on a Budget
Everyone knows that wine prices can range from very low to very high.
The cheapest most inexpensive bottle of wine (which many refer to as "Two-Buck-Chuck" from Trader Joe's) runs just a couple bucks, but the most expensive wine ever sold was a bottle of 2004 Penfolds Block 42 Cabernet Sauvignon going for a purchase price of $168,000.00.
Some Master Sommelier wine sleuths gathered together and suggest some of their favorite, inexpensive, well-known wines. They also reveal some of the tricks they use to find these affordable wines.
All Different Types of Wine
When most people think about wine, the first types and most popular that come to mind are Chardonnay, Merlot, Pinot, and Zinfandel etc. Here's an eye opener of the variety of different wines that are available. It's almost a certainty that you'll discover a new type of wine after viewing this chart.
Thanks to WineFolly.com for sharing this. Check out their Wine Basics Beginners Guide.
Pinot Perfume-Reata Winery
My love for Pinot Noir is no secret.
I find it to be the sexiest of any wine and yet I am super picky about how I like it. I tend to love a Pinot that is a bit deeper and richer. Berry taste should be big as well as an earthy taste. These are classic characteristics and yet I have tasted so many that have fallen flat and were a total disappointment.
THE MOST IMPORTANT thing that I look for is a floral note that gives it the taste of roses or lavender.
The reason why I named this post PINOT PERFUME is because I found the most incredibly fragrant Pinot that I have ever encountered. It smelled as though I was putting my nose into a huge bouquet of roses. I swear I could have lingered in that glass forever and possibly poured it on my body. I'm not kidding it was THAT Fragrant. Super CHERRY flavor danced on my tongue along with earthiness and then the ROSES! It was elegant and wonderful!
This wine that I speak of is REATA Estate Pinot Noir 2009
Reata Winery is halfway between my home and Napa and is literally 10 minutes away. I have driven by it for years and never noticed until this time, the perfect time.
It's beautiful with lavish wood floors, ceilings and stone walls. There are beautiful wooden beams and cowhide covered couches and chairs in a wonderful little sitting area. The Western theme is cute. There is even a moss covered cow that is there to greet you upon entering.
The beautiful large windows show the breathtaking valley.
There is a large area on the wall covered with 594 bottles that Ron Keith called, " THE WALL OF WANT" (In the picture below I purposefully included the head of someone behind the wine bar to show how big this bottle display is) Ron was there pouring our wine keeping us company as we enjoyed the tasting. It was his last day, well he said that it was SUPPOSE to be his last day, but that he was covering for the Winery manager that was on a camping trip. What a nice guy!
If you're headed towards NAPA VALLEY on HWY 12 this quaint little place is right there on the right and if you blink you'll miss it so stay sharp!
Do yourself a favor and bring some food to enjoy at their nice outside picnic area area and buy a bottle of that sexy Pinot to enjoy with your honey.
Cin,cin! Salute!

In the corporate law department, the attorneys fall in the two groups: the senior counsel and the general counsel who work like the attorneys to oversight of the business. The senior attorney is in charge of supervising the staff at the low level and he can advise the company about a certain area of the law and in supporting the work of the company, in the coordination for the outside counsel on the litigation matters. The junior staffs are associated with the senior attorney.
The in-house attorney is more than being a legal adviser for the corporation or any other entity. The in-house attorney can affect the full range of the decision made by the corporation. The counsel advice has a great impact for the decision making process that can have a legal implication of the legality of the business knowledge and strategy. The knowledge of the attorney will have a great impact for the legal interest of the company. The lawyers who work in the firm have only one client and it is the corporation. They do not have to represent any individual, principal officers or directors even if such people act in the administrative position of the corporation. The lawyer has to advance the interest of the company and not the interest of the individual who works in the company.
The corporate counsel can act like a conduit for the employer with the company that is outside of the law firms. The work is confined with the housekeeping and other routine matters of the corporate company. The rising cost of the legal services had seen the expansion of the corporate counsel responsibility. Many companies have now a large number of lawyers to rival the law firms in both the qualifications and sizes especially because the legal matters are now handled in-house.
The in-house attorney may affect the range of the corporate law. The practice areas may involve the anti-trust law, the corporate securities, the international trade, the government contracts and the real estate business. The duties of in-house counsel can have an importance for the ability of the company to manage legal risks.
