Match Preview
Souza set for Rovers return Doncaster defender Dennis Souza will return to the squad for the home clash with Reading following suspension. The Brazilian, a free signing in November following his summer release from Barnsley, missed last week's FA Cup clash with Wolves due to a one-game ban. Midfielder Martin Woods, an unused substitute last week, is also hoping to feature following his recent struggles with a groin injury. But Rovers will still be without skipper Brian Stock (back) and Mustapha Dumbuya due to a knee problem, while fellow defender Shelton Martis, who has had a special boot fitted to aid his recovery from an ankle injury, and Wayne Thomas (calf) remain sidelined. Defenders George Friend and James Chambers returned last week from respective knee injuries and are again in contention and midfielder Simon Gillett (knee) is hoping to be included after being sidelined since mid-October. Shane Long has been passed fit for Reading's trip. Long made his tally seven goals in the last six games last weekend with the winner in the FA Cup defeat of West Brom, but was replaced after taking a knock. However, the Republic of Ireland international is fit to keep his place in attack. The Royals should also have Andy Griffin available for selection. The right-back was rested for the FA Cup win and saw Shaun Cummings turn in an excellent performance in his place to give manager Brian McDermott a dilemma. Defender Zurab Khizanishvili is a doubt after he picked up a knee injury, but club captain Ivar Ingimarsson is available after shaking off a long-term hamstring injury which has so far ruled him out of the whole season. Julian Kelly has joined Lincoln on loan.

Match Report
Royals stake promotion claim Reading outlined their promotion credentials with an emphatic 3-0 victory over Doncaster in the npower Championship. Shane Long continued his hot scoring streak as he fired the Royals into a first-half lead with a cool finish to net his eighth goal in the last seven games. Jimmy Kebe grabbed the second when he lobbed the poorly-positioned Neil Sullivan after the break and Jobi McAnuff made sure the points were heading south when he blocked a clearance that flew into the bottom corner. The win sees Brian McDermott's men keep fast on the tail of the play-off pack and on this showing a promotion charge in the second half of the season is well within their capabilities. Despite a bright start, Doncaster suffered a rare off-day at the Keepmoat and were condemned to their first home defeat since October, though they should have had a penalty with the score at 1-0 for a handball. Both sides came into the game in good form, having avoided defeat against Premier League teams in the FA Cup last week, with Doncaster holding Wolves, while Reading disposed of West Brom. Doncaster settled quicker in blustery conditions as John Oster tested Adam Federici with a stinging low drive, while James O'Connor was just unable to latch onto Billy Sharp's header. Reading came into the game with Kebe looking a threat down the right and it was the winger who was the architect behind the Royals' 29th-minute opener. Kebe broke down a Doncaster attack and advanced past the halfway line before setting Long clear with a pinpoint ball over the top. And the in-form striker made no mistake as he converted with a cute touch past Sullivan to score his 14th goal of the season, with a finish that oozed confidence. Doncaster had opted for a 3-5-2 formation for the first time this season, but Rovers boss Sean O'Driscoll had to have second thoughts and changed to a 4-5-1 after Long's goal. It did not have much of an effect, though, as Reading continued to pen the hosts into their own half. And they were inches away from extending their lead a minute before the break after a moment of brilliance from Long. He picked up the ball on the edge of the area before evading three defenders with a juggling run, but his hooked effort went just over the bar with Sullivan beaten. Doncaster were going to have to improve significantly in the second period if they were to protect their unbeaten run at home, but they found it difficult to locate their normal fluid game. However, they should have found a way back into the game just before the hour mark when referee Eddie Ilderton denied them a clear-cut penalty after skipper Ivar Ingimarsson blocked Sharp's shot with his hand. And Reading dealt them a bitter blow 10 minutes later when they doubled their lead in the 67th minute. Kebe raced on to a pass from Mikele Leigertwood and Sullivan inexplicably came off his line, leaving Kebe the simple task of lobbing the ball over the stranded keeper from 20 yards into an empty net. The points were in the bag with 16 minutes remaining with McAnuff the recipient of some good fortune when he blocked Adam Lockwood's clearance and the ball flew into the bottom corner.

Rust on Wheel Drums : 335i
I have a 2009 BMW with 2,900 miles on it and keep it in a garage. My problem is with the rust on the wheel drums. When I took it in for maintenance, I was informed that I should expect the rust since I live close to the ocean. I am planning to push back, but want to know if anyone else has experienced this.
roadburner Posts: 7,047I've been driving for nearly 40 years and I've never once had a car that didn't have rust around the "hat" area of my disk brakes, BMWs included. Said another way, "pushing back" won't get you very far.
Agreed. If it bugged me that much(it doesn't) I'd simply pull the wheels and hit the disc hats with semi-gloss black engine paint. Problem solved.Mine: 1995 318ti Club Sport 1975 2002A 2007 Mazdaspeed 3 1999 Wrangler 1996 Speed Triple Challenge Cup Replica Wife's: 2009 328i Son's: 2004 X3 2.5

About Cassandra (Johnson) Potter:
Nickname: Cassie
In her own words: "Curling has been in my family for many generations, starting with my great-grandpa and continuing on with my grandparents and my parents. As a child, I would tag along with my parents to watch them curl, and it wasn't until I was 6 years old that I tried it for myself. I participated in a youth program in Bemidji that, at the same time as myself, contained many curlers who grew up to become national and world competitors. In fact, my sister recently found a videotape of the two of us trying curling for the first time, and we found ourselves laughing pretty hard because of the way we looked sliding and sweeping. My sister and I gained a lot of experience watching our parents curl. My mom and dad have competed many times at the national level, and my dad went on to compete in consecutive World competitions in 1993 and 1994."

The big white water on the New River always gets the glory — water exploding over the bow as the golden sun shines through the droplets and paddlers scream with delight.
And that's cool. BUT, let us not forget the unsung heroes that keep the giggle factor high, smiles on faces and the fun flowing. These aren't your class Vs, but they have a charm all their own — fun little moves, backward slides and hidden turns that, when you are finished, make you say, "Hey, that was fun!"
Even though it's still winter, we can't help but dream about hot summer days and New River rafting. So, read on fellow rafter, and start getting pumped for the 2012 rafting season.
1. HipKick
At summer flows a jumble of rocks makes for some neat features, one of which is a submerged rock with a bit of a pillow. When your guide points the bow of your raft toward the right side of the pillow, there is a quick change in direction and, if the stars align, you'll find yourself facing upstream, surfing across a small hydraulic toward the center of the river.
2.Dudley's Dip
Named after former West Virginia Commerce Commissioner Lysander Dudley, this rapid is pretty straightforward all year long. There is, however, a fun line to the left that will get you wet even in the late summer and pushes the fun-o-meter up a notch. The line takes you just to the left of the left guide-ejector rock. If your guide is yelling for you to get down, he might be a hair too far to the right.
3. Hook 99
At summer flows your guide will point your raft toward a rock garden on river right. You'll float past Echo Rock on your way to one of three chutes. But make sure you take the last chute; it's the most fun AND your boat will actually fit through it. You'll slide down the drop, hurtling backwards toward the middle of the river and maybe, just maybe, you'll catch a glimpse of the plaque on the downstream side of Turtle Rock. You may be wondering what is written on said plaque, but you'll just have to go down the river to find out.
4. Thread the Needle
When the water is up Thread the Needle is a playground with pillows and holes and whirlpools. Just remember: the best ride is in the boat. At summer flows this is a fun rapid to swim. As you float right toward the humpback rock, you might wonder if you're going to go left or right (the most fun can be had going left). If you're lucky, you'll hover on the upstream face of the rock for a moment and get a true sense of the New River's power.
So there you have it, four white water rapids on the New River that are sure to put a smile on your face. Any faves we forgot to mention or adventures you'd like to relay about these unsung heroes?
Just a reminder, the cabin naming contest ends at noon on Friday, January 27, 2012. Pop on over to the post to make your suggestion and enter to win a free night in the new digs.

Minimalist Design: A Brief History and Practical Tips
15 Comments
Minimalist design is one of the most significant design movements of the 20th century and early 21st century. It isn't the flashiest, or the most popular, but it arguably penetrated more fields than almost any other art or design trend. Everything from user interfaces, to hardware designs, to cars, to films and games, to the web and visual designs of today – all those fields and more were influenced by minimalism.
Your friends might not know what minimalism is, but chances are they're currently using or viewing a minimalist design: a modern phone, a clean web or application interface, looking at a slick brochure or other graphically-presented information, sitting in a simple living space on a sleek sofa, and so forth.
What 8-Bit Video Games Can Teach Us About Design And UX
23 Comments
The computer sitting at your desk is far more powerful than anything available to all but the largest businesses in the 1980s, enabling us to continue to add layer upon layer without slowing down, and possibly losing focus on why we are here in the first place – to deliver a high quality product.
One possible solution is to this is to artificially limit your design and color options the way Shigeru Miyamoto was limited by technical constraints when designing Zelda and Mario on the NES.
While some of the NES library was filler, there were many standouts that used the limitations of 8 bit technology as strengths, rather than weakness.
Showcase of 20 Minimalist Grid-Based Web Designs
10 Comments
If you're been reading SpyreStudios for a while now you probably already know we like minimalist designs. In fact we've showcased many websites featuring a minimalist design in the past. We thought it was time for another round.
Minimalism doesn't rhyme with grid systems, but many grid-based websites will feature a stripped down and clean design and make great use of typography. After all, it's all about letting the content shine. I hope you enjoy this post!
Applying a Clean & Imageless Design to an Article – Part I
7 Comments
For Christmas this year, my beautiful wife gave me a copy of The Web Designer's Idea Book, Volume 2. Obviously, I have been perusing the book, and I am finding that there are tons of awesome web designs to take in. I'm super happy with the gift and I expect that it will prove to be a highly valuable resource throughout 2011, and beyond.
Yet, even just a quick perusal of the book reveals the prevailing influence of Photoshop (or other graphics programs) on the industry at large. Today, the web is full of beautiful, rich and colourful graphics that continuously amaze and impress us in all manner of very legitimate ways. But just because we can include all of this incredible imagery, it doesn't necessarily follow that we have to. Sometimes, the simple use of colour, shape and typography can create an attractive and elegant design all on its own.

United Flight Diverted After Passenger Uses Banned Seat Recline Jammer, Starts Scuffle
I've always been of the thought that if a flight is less than two hours there's no need to recline my seat, but anymore than that and it's fair game. One man apparently doesn't see it that way and his use of a seat recline jammer got him and the woman in front of him removed from the plane. [More]

United Fliers, Prepare To Be Bored By This Punishingly Long "Humorous" Safety Video
Even people who haven't flown are pretty familiar with the basics of the safety spiel the cabin crew gives before takeoff — no smoking, buckle your seatbelt and keep it buckled, know where the exits are, don't freak the f*#$ out when the oxygen bag thing drops, and if we crash into the water and manage to survive, you can float in the freezing water on your seat cushion. The more concise an airline can make these statements, the better. But United Airlines thinks that the best way to make you give a hoot about airline safety is to make you watch a 4.5-minute video that tries to tickle your funny bone. [More]

What Happens To Your Plane Ticket When There's A Death In The Family?
There are all kinds of reasons why you might not be able to fly when you were planning to, or need to make a change in a scheduled itinerary. Unfortunately, one of those might be the death of a loved one. But now that most domestic airlines don't offer special bereavement fares, many fliers find themselves dealing with airlines after they've already bought tickets to try to make changes. But because airlines don't want just anyone to pull the "my grandma died," often customers are finding the process of changing or canceling flights in these situations daunting, confusing, and well, a bit tacky.

Yes, we've repeatedly made fun of delusional Spirit Airlines CEO Ben Baldanza for his claim that his company is the "most consumer-friendly" airline around, especially when it comes in dead-last in traveler opinion surveys and is the only U.S. carrier to make a recent list of the world's worst airlines. And a new study confirms that Spirit's passengers are several times more likely to complain than passengers on any other domestic carrier. [More]
No Lime In Your In-Flight Vodka Tonic? Blame Bad Weather, Drug Cartels
Does your in-flight drink lack that certain something, a bit of citrus formerly provided by a lime? While I'm sorry for your loss, there are bigger problems than that out there, like drug cartels waging war with each other and natural disasters wreaking havoc with farmers' crops. You can blame those issues for a temporary lime shortage that's prompting many airlines to make do without lemon's green sibling. [More]

Local Area Attractions
Crazy Horse Mountain Memorial
The Crazy Horse Mountain Memorial is located 10 miles south of the KOA. Crazy Horse is a mountain carving in progress that dwarfs Mount Rushmore. This carving is in the round with the 90 high face dedicated in June 1998, which marked the mountains 50th anniversary since the first carving began. In addition, there is an Indian Museum and a collection of the sculptors other works.
Black Hills National Forest
The Black Hills National Forest surrounds the resort, which is located in the very heart of the Forest. Our trail rides go into the Black Elk Wilderness Area, just a mile from the campground. Hiking trails to Harney Peak, the highest point in the United States east of the Rocky Mountains, begin right at the KOA. The Centennial Trail and the Mickelson Rails to Trails are within four miles of the KOA. Imagine the pristine views and the quiet nature that youll enjoy right from your campsite!
Custer State Park
One of the nations largest state parks is just eight miles away. The parks 73,000 acres abound in scenic drives, buffalo, elk, deer, bighorn sheep, and sparkling lakes. Also nestled in Custer State Park is the Black Hills Playhouse famous for its Broadway caliber plays with a quaint "woods" setting.
Peter Norbeck Scenic Byway
The KOA is located right on the Peter Norbeck Scenic Byway, a thirty mile loop that is selected as one of the top ten scenic byways in America. On the loop, you will meander through the Iron Mountain Road which was built strictly for scenery, featuring hairpin turns, pigtail bridges, scenic overlooks, and tunnels that frame Mount Rushmore. The byway takes you through Custer State Park and over the Needles Highway, another road built for scenery. This one has unusual granite formations, tunnels, and overlooks. The third part of the byway is Highway 244 right in front of the campground. This is the Gutzon Borglum Memorial Highway that takes you to Mount Rushmore, with spectacular views of the Monument. To completely enjoy the sights along the byway consider a bus tour and leave the driving to us!
Wind Cave National Park and Jewel Cave National Park
Both parks are located within 45 minutes of the KOA. These parks not only have cave tours, but interpretive surface facilities as well. Wind Cave is a "dry cave" or a "box cave" with few crystal formations but a great tour through the intricate web of the underground. Buffalo, elk and antelope roam the surrounding park area. Jewel Cave has over 100 miles of explored passageway and is believed to be the third largest cavern in the world. This is a must see for spelunkers--novice or expert.

I live on nine acres of land most of which is wooded area. At the back of my property line there are beehives from a neighbor who raises them for honey. I am already planning on planting high pollen flowers along the back of my property line and was wondering if the orange oil will work to keep them away from my house. I wass also wondering if there are any plants I can put in my yard that will keep them away. I want to make sure that nothing I do will harm them in anyway or give my neighbors any less honey production. |

Not sure what orange oil you're talking about? It seems your neighbors bees are giving you problems....did you just move there? Usually honey bees don't care much about your odd flowers around the house, ...they like to work the HUGE fields, trees and shrubs. They might be attracted more to a water source,.. any shallow water they like as a water source but are not interested in humans, so I wouldn't be worried too much,..unless your'e allergic to stings. |
- Posted by CharlieBoring 7 (My Page) on Mon, Apr 8, 13 at 6:50
Typically, honey bees exit their hive and follow the directions that their fellow workers have given them to a nectar, pollen or water sources. They tend to focus on the earliest blooming plants until the bloom period is over; then they find another blooming plant. Directions from bee to bee are passed along to others by using direction, distance and obstacles. Bees fly in a more-or-less straight line to their destination and change altitude as necessary to avoid obstacles. To mitigate any annoyance that the bees may cause, there are a couple of methods that usualy work. Create a barrier to protect the area that you do not want the bees to enter (shrubs, fence, etc.), which will cause the bees to fly higher and therefore over your head. Ensure their is a water source near their hive so that they do not seek water on your property. If your pollen producing plants are on your back property line, they should not encroach other parts of your property. |

A general view of the "E1" settlement area, situated between Jerusalem and the Israeli West Bank on December 9, 2012 in Maale Adumim, West Bank. Israel has approved the building of 3,000 settler homes on the patch of land; a development that has been on hold for years due to pressure from the US and EU. Should the construction go ahead it would close off East Jerusalem from the West Bank.

Moving Day pt. 2 (aka. You've Come a Long Way Baby.)
Hey *sponge, hope you're having as much fun with your move as we are at my work. (We're moving from cubes to an actual design studio today. Sweet!)
Going through old boxes we came through an artifact of the Atari age: The Screenshooter. This is how screen captures took place back in olden days: Just place the Screenshooter on your Atari 800 monitor, take a picture with your Polaroid camera that is attached to the end, and bango! you have a screen capture. How adorable!
(ed. note - thanks to Max DenHaan for pointing out that this is actually an Atari 800, not an XL as originally reported!)

Black Rats collected in a single night in a small village in northern Laos.
Reference: 08/14
DNA of the common Black Rat has shed light on the ancient spread of rats, people and diseases around the globe.
Studying the mitochondrial DNA of 165 Black Rat specimens from 32 countries around the world, an international team of scientists has identified six distinct lineages in the Black Rat's family tree, each originating from a different part of Asia.
"Black Rats are carriers of many different human diseases, including plague, typhus and leptospirosis," says CSIRO mammal expert Dr Ken Aplin, lead author of the study.
"It has been unclear why certain rodent-borne diseases are more common in some places than others, but our work raises the possibility that the different lineages of Black Rats each carry a different set of diseases, which is something medical science now needs to consider.
"We need to know more about what types of Black Rats are moving around the world and what disease risks each of them might pose."
The six different lineages originated in India, East Asia, the Himalayas, Thailand, the Mekong Delta, and Indonesia.
The Indian lineage spread to the Middle-East around 20,000 years ago, then later to Europe. It reached Africa, the Americas and Australia during the Age of Exploration.
The East Asian lineage moved from Taiwan to Japan, the Philippines, and Indonesia, arriving in Micronesia only 3,500 years ago.
The other four lineages have not become so widespread but they could be set to expand their ranges in the future.
"Our findings also show a good match between the historic spread of each lineage and ancient routes of human migration and trade, but there are a few surprises that raise new questions about human prehistory," Dr Aplin says.
"The genetic evidence points strongly to there being more than one species of black rat, but more work is needed before we can say exactly how many species there are."
The Black Rat (Rattus rattus) is one of the most common of the world's 56 Rattus species, and is also known as the house, roof or ship rat. It is found throughout Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe and the Americas.
Dr Aplin will present the results of his team's research at the Archaeological Science Conference in Canberra on Monday.

As one of Britain's foremost tea merchants, it is not surprising that Fortnum's own story and the history of tea in Britain are closely entwined.
The story of tea is said to have begun in China in 2737BC, when some leaves from a tea bush blew into a pot of hot water being boiled for the Chinese emperor Shen Nung. The emperor was a scholar and a herbalist and decided to try the brew – and so, according to the legend, tea was born. There are other stories that claim to explain the origins of tea – but as we cannot know for sure, this seems a plausible place to start.
While we think of tea as a very British drink, it was popular for thousands of years before it reached Europe. Revered by the Chinese for its health-giving properties, it became China's favourite drink, as its function moved from merely medicinal to pleasurable. In the Song dynasty (AD960-1279), the tea-house became an essential part of the social life, as it did much later across Europe, where people gathered to talk, play games, do business – and drink tea.
While we think of tea as a very British drink, it was popular for thousands of years before it reached Europe.
By the 8th century AD, the Chinese were trading their tea across the world, from Tibet to the Silk Road, which stretched from India to Macedonia. It was the difficulties of export that gave rise to the black tea that is more commonly enjoyed in Europe and the West. The delicate green teas tended to deteriorate on the long journeys across the ocean, so the Chinese learned to process the leaves by drying them until they were more robust – and the black tea that resulted was eagerly adopted across the West.
Coming to England
It was the Dutch who first brought tea to Europe and then to England. They established a trading post on Java, and had shipped a consignment of tea from China to Amsterdam as early as 1606. It quickly became popular there, and its popularity spread across the continent and eventually to England. It is not known exactly when the first cup of tea was drunk here, but Thomas Garraway was offering it for sale at his store in the City of London in 1657 and Samuel Pepys mentioned it in his diary in September 1660, noting that he had never drunk it before. Various other sources suggest that it had reached England before this time, but was so expensive that it was traded only in small quantities to the very wealthy. Despite the cost, its popularity was assured when in 1662 Catherine of Braganza arrived from her native Portugal to marry King Charles II, bringing with her a casket of her much-loved tea. What was popular at court tended to catch on, and the drinking of tea began to spread through the upper levels of society.
Tea at Fortnum's
While we can't be sure when the first pound of tea was sold by Messrs Fortnum & Mason, we do know that on 20 March 1720, the East India Company delivered 301 lbs of Bohea tea (a term used to describe black tea) at 15 shillings a pound to Fortnum's, which for a small shop, as it then was, was quite a lot of tea. Tea attracted very high taxes, which encouraged a thriving black market – for some time, it was thought that more tea entered England illegally than legally. Poor quality tea was padded out with all kinds of things from dried plants and flour, and was adulterated in many ways, often with poisonous substances such as lead. Since setting up shop in 1707, Fortnum's had established a good reputation, enough to reassure customers that it sold pure, legal and unadulterated tea and it became an important purveyor of tea to the wealthy and well-to-do.
Tea for the masses
In 1701, nearly 67,000 lbs of tea was consumed in England; by 1784, the British were drinking around 5m lbs a year, much of it smuggled because of the high taxes, which in 1784 stood at 119%. In this same year, the tax was finally cut to 12%, mostly to beat the smugglers, and the difference in price meant that many more people could afford to drink legally traded tea, and consumption shot up to 11m lbs in the year that followed. This was good news for tea dealers such as Fortnum's and their chief competitors, Jacksons of Piccadilly and Garroways; but it was good for the nation, too, as tea came to replace ale at breakfast and gin at all other times of day, with predictable effects on health and productivity.
Like coffee before it, tea became the catalyst for a new set of social customs. Following the popularity of the coffeehouse as a place for men to meet, drink coffee and do business, open-air tea gardens sprang up around London in the mid 1700s, and elegant ladies and gentlemen would stroll around the beautifully designed gardens and partake of a pot of tea, while enjoying some musical entertainment.
A proper afternoon tea
Sometime in the late 1830s, formal afternoon tea became very popular, partly to fill the gap between lunch and dinner, the times of which seemed to change constantly, depending on the fashion of the time. Anna, 7th Duchess of Bedford is said to have been one of the first to make afternoon tea a social occasion. The taking of tea became part of a formal dinner, too: after the meal, the party would move to another room, orangery or even a folly or temple in the gardens in order to drink tea and continue their conversation.
The rise of Indian tea
In the early 19th century, tea buyers began to search for a new source of tea, as relations with China were deteriorating. Fortunately, a new variety of tea bush was found to be growing in northern India, and a small number of tea plantations were established there by the British East India Company. The first import of this new Assam tea arrived just before Britain declared war on China in 1839, which put an end to all exports until the Opium Wars came to an end in 1860. India's tea industry developed rapidly, and Fortnum's benefited greatly from this supply of new tea. In the 1870s, Ceylon began to grow very good-quality tea – previously a coffee-growing country – and its tea joined China and Indian teas on Fortnum's shelves. The popularity of China teas declined, and it gradually came to be thought of as a specialist tea, while India and Ceylon teas were more everyday.
The 19th century also brought with it the clipper ships – the faster way to import one's tea. Exports of tea from China had been taking at least a year to reach England, but in 1845, the Americans unveiled the clipper ship, a sleek vessel that could sail to China in eight months. The British were quick to catch on, and by the 1860s, clipper ships were covering the distance from China to England in around three or four months. Ships raced across the oceans to be the first to deliver their cargo – the first to arrive won a prize, and could command a higher price for their cargo. The opening of the Suez Canal in 1869 reduced the journey time even further.
The most popular of drinks
Tea-drinking in Britain went from strength to strength; consumption grew from 23.7m lbs in 1801 to more than ten times that amount by 1901. By the 1860s Fortnum's alone was importing more than 1000lbs of tea every week. The growth of the temperance movement played some part in this, as tea was the perfect alternative to strong liquor; and so did the opening of public tea rooms in the late 19th century, starting in Glasgow and quickly spreading to London and other large towns and cities. Tea rooms and tea shops quickly became a popular place for people to meet, drink and talk and, unusually, were considered a respectable place for women to meet without a chaperone. Many luxury hotels served tea in grand surroundings, sometimes accompanied by music, an event that developed into the enormously popular tea dances that were widespread until WWII. But mostly the rapid growth was because, almost as one, the British had embraced tea as their favourite drink, which seemed to include everyone from the monarch down to the humblest of workers.
Tea rooms and tea shops quickly became a popular place for people to meet, drink and talk and, unusually, were considered a respectable place for women to meet without a chaperone.
Tea became a defining element of Britain, its national drink and an essential part of everyday life. Those who left their home country couldn't do without it, and Fortnum's found itself sending consignments of tea across the world to expats scattered throughout the Empire; and it was often called upon to supply provisions for explorers and climbers – including the Everest expedition in 1924 – as well as plant collectors and other intrepid travellers.
Tea and rationing
The First World War changed many things in England, but our love of tea remained. Fortnum's was kept busy sending parcels of much-needed tea and other luxuries and essentials to officers abroad. When the Second World War began, Fortnum's once again supplied hampers and groceries to officers overseas, and withstood the Blitz with only minor bomb damage in 1941. Tea was considered so important to public morale, that the government rationed it carefully to make sure it would last. The British were allowed only 2oz a week per person, which made barely two cups a day, so tea was carefully hoarded, kept warm in flasks to take down to the bomb shelter, and even reheated rather than be thrown away.
Tea was considered so important to public morale in WWII, that the government rationed it carefully to make sure it would last.
Tea was rationed until 1952 – in fact, the restrictions were lifted just in time for Elizabeth II's coronation the following year, which meant that it could be properly celebrated with a very British cup of tea. The tea bag revolution The tea bag arrived in force in the 1950s, having been invented in the USA by Thomas Sullivan just after the turn of the century. Sullivan sent samples of tea to his customers in small silk bags, and some customers dunked the whole thing in the teapot or cup, inadvertently inventing the teabag. It didn't catch on in Britain for some time, but after the war, the enthusiasm for labour-saving devices and new things in general meant that it quickly became popular. It is an astonishing success story – today, around 97 per cent of tea drunk in Britain is made with teabags; in the 1960s, it was around 4 per cent.
The restrictions of WWII and the rise of the coffee bar and of fast food outlets in the 60s and 70s took the spotlight off tea for a while. But a growing interest in good food and its provenance throughout the 90s and noughties, as well as a massive expansion in overseas travel, has meant that tea is enjoying a resurgence, as Britain's tea drinkers experiment with green, rooibush, jasmine, chai and many other unfamiliar teas. The internet means that anyone can order almost any kind of tea, from all over the world; and Fortnum's is joining the party, with an extensive and ever-changing online range of teas in loose leaf and teabag form. For if we have learned anything about tea over the last 300 years, we have learned that the insatiable British appetite for tea must be fed – and preferably with the finest of teas.

Learning Objective
To provide systematic managerial thinking tools to assist in understanding and communicating how information will be used in making decisions and solving problems.
To provide systematic managerial thinking tools to assist in understanding and communicating how information will be used in making decisions and solving problems.
At CIMBA, the process component trains you in core managerial thinking processes -- decision analysis, problem analysis, potential problem analysis, negotiation analysis, situation appraisal, project management, and innovation. Systematic, rational-process thinking tools assist you as an effective manager in translating information into actionable managerial activities, and provide common language and common guidelines for their effective communication and implementation. CIMBA uses managerial process tools developed by Kepner-Tregoe (KT) and integrates them into every class, activity, and project.
No other MBA program expressly recognizes the importance of providing students with managerial thinking process training due again to CIMBA's focus on the effective practice of management. By providing common language and common guidelines, the KT process tools significantly improve your managerial communication and team productivity skills by making your thinking processes visible and understandable to others. In the absence of an express communication technology such as KT, you will rely on your personal and idiosyncratic "techniques" for such fundamental communications, forcing subordinates and team members to decipher what information is important and how it is going to be used by you in making decisions and solving problems.
Importantly, as a program with a diverse, international student body, CIMBA has found that the KT process tools are universally applicable, regardless of cultural setting or content. Whether European, Asian or American, as a result of common human experiences all are equipped with very similar patterns of thinking; KT improves your ability to communicate that thinking.

Second Prescription Drug Take Back Day Scheduled
The National Association of Attorneys General is supporting the second National Prescription Drug Take Back Day scheduled for April 30. During that day, the public can turn in unused, unneeded, and expired prescription drugs for safe and proper disposal at local drop off sites.
More than seven million Americans currently abuse prescription drugs, according to the 2009 Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration's National Survey on Drug Use and Health. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including the home medicine cabinet.
Last September, the U. S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) sponsored the first national day with participation by state Attorneys General and 3,000 state and local law enforcement agencies, among others. Over 121 tons of pills were collected that day at 4,000 sites across the 50 states. With the overwhelming success of this first event, a second day was scheduled.
This national initiative provides an alternative to environmentally-destructive ways of disposing drugs. The collected drugs will be burned in treatment plants. Typically consumers throw them out and the pills end up in landfills and water supplies.
The DEA will offer site locations and other information about the Take Back Day on its website, www.dea.gov, starting in early March.

TRICARE vision benefits vary depending on beneficiary status (i.e., active duty service member, active duty family member, retired service member or retired family member) and enrollment in TRICARE Prime.
Active duty family members are eligible for one comprehensive ophthalmological eye examination per calendar year.
The services are provided by TRICARE-authorized optometrists or ophthalmologists, and the deductibles and cost shares/copayments are based on whether the beneficiary is enrolled in TRICARE Prime or opts to use TRICARE Extra or TRICARE Standard.
TRICARE Prime enrollees age three and older are authorized comprehensive eye examinations once every year. TRICARE Prime enrollees may receive the services from any TRICARE network provider without a referral or authorization from the primary care manager (PCM), health care finder (HCF) or any other authority. If the eye examination is not available from a network provider, enrollees may receive services from a non-network provider if they have a referral from the PCM and authorization from the HCF.
Retirees and their families enrolled in TRICARE Prime are authorized one routine eye exam ever 24 months.
If services are received from a non-network provider without the proper referral and authorization, payment is made under the TRICARE Prime point-of-service option.
Vision screening is excluded from the TRICARE Extra and TRICARE Standard plans except for one comprehensive ophthalmological routine eye examination per calendar year for active duty family members and vision screening under the well-child benefit. The well-child benefit is available from birth to age six and includes eye and vision screening by a PCM during a routine examination at birth and at approximately six months of age. Comprehensive eye examinations are authorized once every two years between ages three and six.
Retirees and their family members who use TRICARE Standard, TRICARE Extra and TRICARE For Life are not eligible for routine eye examinations.
Except for active duty members, lenses or eye glasses are only cost shared for treatment of the following conditions:
Replacement lenses for those that are lost, have deteriorated, or have become unusable due to physical growth are not covered. Adjustments, cleaning and repairs of eyeglasses are also not covered.
For more information about TRICARE vision benefits, beneficiaries may contact their local beneficiary counseling and assistance coordinator (BCAC) or health benefits adviser (HBA). Special programs may exist at local military treatment facilities (MTFs). Please contact your local MTF for more specific information.
TRICARE forms can be found at: www.tricare.mil/enrollment/index.cfm.
For general information about TRICARE, call the toll-free TRICARE information line for your region found at the TRICARE Contact Us web page.

Last night sports fans on the Internet discovered something truly remarkable: quarterbacks get hot girls. Mind blowing, yes.
First there was Brent Musberger's nationally-broadcasted raging libido during the BCS National Championship Game that turned Katherine Webb — A.J. McCarron's girlfriend pictured above (no, this post isn't just an excuse to use that picture — really, seriously, promise) — into the next Jenn Sterger, giving her over 90.000 new cyber friends in one night.
Darnell Dockett couldn't just sit idly by and watch as old man Brent had all the fun. No, he thought that perhaps he would cordially invite the girlfriend of the national championship-winning team to a gentleman's club for a rendezvous.
From USA Today, here's what the Arizona Cardinals defensive end tweeted to Webb, a model who was named Miss Alabama:
– @_KatherineWebb aye u going to king of diamonds Monday after game?
– Aye @_KatherineWebb hit me (240) 464-xxxx when game over, lets go to wing stop then King of diamond
Yep, Dockett publicly gave a model — and thus, the Internet — his phone number. At first you're surprised, and then you remember that Dockett once posted a video of himself in the shower, and he owned a baby alligator. Forethought is not his strong suit.
The tweets were promptly deleted, with Dockett later saying he meant to direct message Webb, a method that — as we all know — is far more endearing.

(page 2 of 2)
Holland's own family saga resonates with the theme of victim and rescuer. Her father was a Polish Jew who lost most of his family in the Warsaw Ghetto; her mother, a Polish Catholic, has been designated by the State of Israel, via Yad Vashem, as a "Righteous Among the Nations of the World" for having saved Jews in Warsaw.
"In Darkness" is not just another slick thriller. Actors voice impeccably accented Polish, German, Ukrainian and Yiddish, and even daven Jewish prayers in Hebrew, lending the film verisimilitude. Water streaming through the tunnels, strange noises that echoed and died, vermin, the maze of holes and tunnels and narrow spaces, darkness. The stench, the dank, the cold of the sewer felt immediate.
Comparisons with Schindler, especially Steven Spielberg's Schindler, are unavoidable. When an ethnically German Nazi Party member like Schindler decided to save Jews, he became vulnerable to criticism and loss of rank, but was most likely protected from execution. Not so for an ordinary Polish citizen whose one wrong move would mean the end for him and his family. The tension in "In Darkness" builds as, time and again, Socha and his wife and daughter are a hair's breadth from death. One hair-raising moment takes place when a Ukrainian officer pays a surprise visit to Socha's home and starts eating the food that's on the table. Their little girl shouts out not to eat the food, because it is for "their Jews." While her parents are shocked into silence and bone-chilling fear, the little girl cleverly says that her dolls are "my Jews."
Over time, Socha, played by award-winning actor Robert Wieckiewicz, saw the Jews as human beings like himself. Socha was an observant Catholic, and he respected the Jews' religious beliefs. He brought them candles for the Sabbath and matzo for the Passover Seder. When a flood in the sewer threatens the lives of the Jews, Socha, in coat and tie and in the midst of his own daughter's christening, leaves the celebration to plunge into the sewer waters to save his Jews from drowning.
Even under extreme conditions, lovers want to enjoy each other, children want to play, adults want to be entertained by youngsters, believers want to pray and nonbelievers are irritated with their meaningless rituals. When men and women are confronted with the brutal question of who should live and who should die, the will to live demands a selfish incivility from the individual. "In Darkness" does not shy away from the portrayal of the unthinkable: Jews killing a newborn, lest the baby endanger the lives of others.
When the Russians liberate Lvov at the close of the film, the Polish onlookers are not overjoyed with the idea that the Jews — whom they thought had all been killed — are coming back, climbing out of the sewers. Socha's wife (known in the film as Wanda), acted by the peerless Kinga Preis, who had her own ambivalent feelings about Socha's rescue efforts, is overjoyed at their survival and, unlike her fellow townspeople, greets them with baked goods and drinks. The secret act of saving Jews becomes public, and the rescuers are forever tainted and live as pariahs among their townspeople, a pattern that has received scant attention over the decades.
Though she was not portrayed in the film, Halina Wind was a young woman in the sewers of Lvov who never forgot her rescuers. In 1977 — now Halina Wind Preston — she went from America to give testimony at Yad Vashem in support of honoring Socha and his wife, Magdalena (fictionalized in the film as Wanda), as well as their helpers, Stefan Wroblewski (fictionalized in the film as Stefek) and his wife. Preston continued to correspond with and send packages of food and clothing to the rescuers and their families for many years. A year before her death, in 1981, Preston dedicated the Garden of the Righteous at the entrance to Wilmington, Del.'s Jewish community center. By not shirking the dirt, the danger or the darkness, Holland's movie enables us to remember and honor those righteous Poles.

The best show in the Theatre District? It's not on a stage.
It's Abby Lane, a beautiful two-story resto-lounge now open on Tremont St. that's easily the Theatre District's biggest opening since Wicked.
Bringing in the star power is Hell's Kitchen alum and Blue Inc. mastermind Jason Santos, who has unveiled a 200-seat space outfitted in floor-to-ceiling windows, two long bars, and a striking design of exposed brick and reclaimed wood beams.
For the opening act, grab a front row seat at the open kitchen. Hold back your bravos as locally sourced contemporary American favorites buffalo wings and baked mac and cheese are cooked in front of you.
Digest in the upstairs lounge, where you and your date can relax on plush Italian leather chairs before catching an opera across the street. To ensure you're in the proper mood for the opera, get your buzz going on the aptly-titled Endless Summer (Patron silver, ginger, agave, and house sour mix).
Or maybe you're going to check out Lewis Black, in which case a round of Goose Island Matildas (one of 10 draught beers) is the way to go.
This has all the makings of a long-running hit.
Price: 2 (out of 4)
Subway: Green Line to Boylston or Orange Line to Tufts Medical
Hot seat: One of the high-top chairs with a view of the first floor open kitchen
Best bets: Spit-roasted half chicken; New Orleans-style mussels; baked mac & cheese with truffle cream

text: It seems like only almost exactly a month since I was musing on the existence of Hex: Shards of Fate and its similarities to Magic: The Gathering. Well, it turns out that a month before that Wizards of the Coast (or, more accurately, their lawyers) were doing a little more than raising an eyebrow. They've gone whole hog, taking Cryptozoic and sub-company Hex Entertainment to court for "copyright, patent and trade dress infringement." To which the wider internet has responded with a mix of "what do those things mean?" and outrage. Essentially, Wizards believe that Hex is too similar to Magic in the way that is looks, functions and plays to be distinct. This comes down to a number of different factors like whether customers will confuse the two brands as well as whether there's been wholesale nicking of work. Now, I am not a lawyer, nor should I be, however I've dug up a few juicy morsels and am more than happy to throw out an opinion or two, which you'll find below.

Some scary moments for a maintenance worker in Oceano after two discarded bottles explode.
It happened around 12:15 p.m. at the Rancho Del Arroyo Mobile Home Park.
That is located in the 2700 block of Cienaga Street.
Investigators believe the bottles were used to cook meth and that is what made them so volatile.
It all started when the maintenance man at the mobile home park noticed three plastic bottles on the ground.
He picked them up, put them in the back of his cart and as he was driving away one of the bottles exploded.
A few minutes later as he was calling 911, another bottle exploded and some of the contents inside splashed onto him.
Fire crews and a hazmat team washed him down and closed off the area.
They were not taking any chances with their own safety.
"Any time people manufacture with hazardous chemicals and materials, you run the risk of injury," said Rob Bryn, a spokesperson for the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff's Department. "They've blown up houses, they've blown up buildings, this stuff is very volatile."
The maintenance worker is expected to be alright, deputies say there were no visible signs of injuries.
Now investigators are trying to figure out where those bottles came from, and that could be a difficult task.
They say someone driving by could have thrown them out the window, someone from a nearby park could have thrown them over the fence, so any help from the public could really benefit investigators at this point.
Deputies say plastic bottles used to manufacture meth often have a lithium battery or something similar inside.
If you happen to come across one, leave it alone and call 911.

Why We Love It
When strategically placed, it's a gift from the goddesses to every womanthe Grecian formula for figure flattery ensures sensuality while masking insecurities. Plus, in this frantic world, draping demands you move with a hint of stealth.
How to Wear It
Choose fabrics with weight as well as motion (you don't want fluttering). Matte jersey is perfect since it flatters with understatement. Minimal draping works for day. One-shouldered or shoulder-to-shoulder folds are the easiest options. If you want to accentuate your curves, look for draping below the waist.

About BAAL 2013
BAAL 2013 will take place at Heriot-Watt University�in Edinburgh, Scotland's inspiring and dynamic capital.
This year's conference is organised by the Department of Languages and Intercultural Studies�at Heriot-Watt University.
Conference Theme
Over the last number of decades, research in the area of applied linguistics has been transformed by an increasing focus on the social, cultural and linguistic changes brought about by globalisation, increased mobility and transnational flows, new technologies and a changing political and economic landscape. These changes have had major implications for the ways in which we conceptualise the relationship between language and society in the twenty-first century. A new communicative order has emerged in which we find new types of speakers, new forms of language and new modes of communication. The conference theme �Opening New Lines of Communication in Applied Linguistics� addresses the challenges and opportunities that this new communicative order presents in the field of applied linguistics. To understand the complexity of this new (socio)linguistic reality, the conference explores new lines of communication between sub-disciplines within and beyond the field of applied linguistics.
Plenary Speakers
Kathryn Woolard, University of California, San Diego
Jannis Androutsopoulos, Universität Hamburg
Svenja Adolphs, University of Nottingham
Social programme
A�memorable social programme is planned which include our gala dinner and céilidh in the Scottish Cafe and Restaurant at the Scottish National Gallery�in heart of Edinburgh.

The attribution of this depiction of figures bathing in a stream at night has been questioned. The subject is rare for Rousseau and the handling of paint comparatively crude. Rather, it may be the work of an imitator of this prolific and popular painter of the Barbizon School.

Kent Online Parish Clerks |
A View of the ParishYour Online Parish Clerk for Cliffe is: VACANT. Cliffe is, ecclesiastically, in the diocese of Rochester, in the archdeaconry of Rochester and St. Albans. The church is named for St. Helen with registers commencing 1558. Cliffe, or Cliffe-at-Hoo, a village and a parish in North Aylesford district, Kent. The village stands on the edge of the chalk ridges, overhanging the marshes of the Thames, 2-3/4 miles northeast of Higham rail station, and 5-1/2 miles north of Rochester; and has a post office under Rochester. It was anciently an important place; and it is supposed to be the Clofeshoch or Cloveshoo at which numerous ecclesiastical councils were held in the 7th, 8th and 9th centuries. The parish comprises 5,660 acres of land and 2,160 of water. Real property in 1860, £ 10,952. Population in 1861, 980. Houses, 199. The property is divided among a few. The manor belonged, from a very early period till the dissolution, to Christ Church, Canterbury; and belongs now to Earl Darnley. Much of the land is marshy. Chalk is quarried; whiting and cement are made; and there is a canal communication with the Thames. A small battery, on Hope Point, was built in 1796; and one for 16 guns, further up, was built in 1865. The living is a rectory in the diocese of Rochester. Value, £1,297 with a habitable glebe house.

text: Easy points in RTTS starting pitchersTo easily rack up the training points in RTTS, simply enter the game and exit game to the end. This works great with SP because it calculates all the good or bad batters and gives you points for it. Simming from the calender only gives you points for milestones and such. You can easily get 250-300 points for just an average start. While this works great for SP's, it isn't worth the time for batters and relievers. Those games go by fast enough because you have just a couple plays to work with. If you do this for SP's, you can easily get through a whole season and load up on points in about an hour. |

If thats not an option you should build a BartPE/UBCD4Win disc if you want to access your network to copy over files. If you don't got an XP disc to build from you can download MSes Windows Automated Installation Kit (WAIK) as an .iso, burn it to disc, install it, and than use it as the Windows source for creating a really stripped down version of Vista on disc using VistaPE.
