Bale 'is one of best in Europe'
Tottenham full-back Gareth Bale is developing into one of the best players in Europe, according to Wales and Spurs legend Cliff Jones.The 20-year-old has been in superb form for Spurs recently, scoring in his side's wins over Arsenal and Chelsea. "You talk about me being the Welsh Wizard, but now it's Gareth who is the Welsh Wizard," said Jones, who was part of Spurs' double-winning team in 1961. "At the moment, I would say he's got to be one of the best players in Europe." Left-back Bale .... read more

This is a pretty solid TV, especially for the price. It isn't anything mind blowing or anything, but it is definitely worth the money. The only small complaint I have about the TV is that the sound quality could be a little bit better, as there isn't a whole lot of bass in it, but it's not a deal breaker at all either. Just a small note. Other than that, I would recommend it to anyone.
Great picture till it died! Used in the spare bedroom maybe 1-3 times a week. After it stopped working phoned Future Shop and the will send it out for service. 6-8 weeks minimum for repair! After that looked online and this is a massive chronic issue with these TV'S blown power supplys. Buyer beware [...]
Pleasently surprise at the picture quality, unbeatable price.
It stopped working and refused to power on. So unexpected. So disappointing. It was great while it lasted.
Great Television Good Sound and Picture with a Great Price attached to it.
This TV is exactly what I expected for what I paid for it. Clear picture, good audio, nothing mind blowing but what do you expect for the price. It was a great deal for a limited budget and the perfect size for the average bedroom/dormroom
very good in all respects
hooked up no problem using for a monitor & works perfect once you get used to it being a little blurred but no worse than my old heavy (HOT) monitor
I switched this TV with the 28" inch purchased 2 weeks ago and I noticed the difference in quality. Even thou the specs are similar to the 28", except for a increase in CT ratio. What ever it is, the colour skin/flesh are more accurate (natural), the contrast is smoother and blended more over the screen. no harsh white blur in dark scenes. I adjusted all settings across, also in the advance mode. Suggestion sharpness should be off or at zero value, don't put brightness settings over 1/2 way point; play around and you will be happy. Great value for the dollar. I remembered when I spent $1600.00 in 2007 Boxing D on a Sharp Aquos 42" (ha ha). Main use = PC - HD TV - and with PS3 and connected via HDMI. Happy customer!
Does what I want for the price. Perfect TV for a university student on a limited budget.
I can't say I felt an irresistible magnetism pulling me into the store to buy an Insignia TV. I can't say I was seduced by the store demo because I bought the TV online. The price was right; that was important. The TV was delivered to my door within 24 hours; that was impressive. It's made in China, but what isn't these days? The installation was simple; I seem to recall looking in the direction of the guide. The onscreen menu is easy to use with controls that work. The HDTV picture is sharp with beautiful natural colours and good sound quality. If those are your criteria, then you should buy this TV.
Very pleased with the tv. Quick delivery right to my door. Easy to set up, the colour is excellent and the picture crisp. Great value for the price. Would certainly reccomend the product.
First one lasted less than 5 minutes before the screen just cut out to black for good. The second one has worked fine for the two weeks since the purchase/return.
I got my TV from the store. Ste up was pretty easy. I use a coaxial cable and the screen is crisp clear. Great TV if you are on a budget. I have no complains
This price is definitely worth getting although the power cord for mine somehow would stay so whenever I move the tv the cord just falls off and shuts the tv of but other then that its excellent!
I bought this for my daughter who is moving out for post secondary education. She'll stream Netflix via her PS3 and maybe some other web content. Set-up was really easy and the colours are crisp and bright. It's quite light and uses very little energy. It looked quite nice in a bright room and the sound is pretty decent. There really isn't much reason to pay more for a secondary TV.
This is a great little TV for the price. About 13.5 pounds I think, to replace an old monster 4 times it's overall size and weight and still ended up with a bigger screen. Very easy to setup - just two HDMI cables (not included); one for the cable box and the other for the DVD player. Ten minutes and I was up and running. Great picture and sound from what I can tell. The only criticism I would have is that the TV is not able to auto adjust depending on whether you are watching HD or low definition channels unless you just leave it on the normal setting for screen size. If you want to watch HD in wide screen you must go into the settings and set it to wide screen and then readjust when you go back to low definition channels. A small compromise in an otherwise great purchase.
bought this for bed room. appears to be a verry decent tv.verry pleased with this purchase .

Sri Lanka pins hopes on idealist
President Kumaratunga reintroduces censorship on war news July 3, then prepares for new elections.
Moments after she was the target of a suicide bomb attack last December, President Chandrika Kumaratunga made an entreaty: that there be no recrimination against the Tamil minority in Sri Lanka - whose extremists' attempt on her life left her with only one eye.
"The Tamil community must be protected," she said as aides rushed her to a hospital after the blast killed 14 people. "Our fight is not with them."
Today, 17 years into a separatist struggle led by Tamil Tiger guerrilla Velupillai Prabhakaran, the president is a virtual prisoner in Temple Trees, a heavily guarded compound in the capital of this island nation.
Yet the passionate and articulate daughter of two former prime ministers, whose very biography is a story of the tragedy of modern Sri Lanka, is still seen as the best hope to end one of the least publicized but most brutal ethnic conflicts on the planet.
The question in Colombo is: Has history passed her by? Has the president squandered the brimming hopes for reform that put her multiethnic "rainbow coalition" in office six years ago?
That question is more than theoretical. Next month, Sri Lanka is scheduled to hold parliamentary elections. Should the slim majority enjoyed by Ms. Kumaratunga's People's Alliance be lost, analysts say the country will face a divided government, an outcome that could undermine prospects for peace.
This summer Kumaratunga is shaping an on-again off-again "devolution" package to share power with Tamils in the north and east of Sri Lanka. And a Norwegian envoy is currently mediating peace talks. But the feelings of right-wing Buddhist monks opposed to a settlement weigh heavily - the same faction whose extremists killed her father, Prime Minister S.W.R.D. Bandaranaike in 1959. Then there is a rapaciously partisan Colombo elite and an opposition party led by Ranil Wickramasinghe, which can derail her efforts.
Yet the president has shown herself as a fighter through a "peace through war policy." This spring, in the face of a withering Tiger attack on the key city of Jaffna, she stood her ground while government officials spoke of withdrawing. "She said 'No! We will fight,' " a source says. "She showed more backbone than anyone."

Welcome to the Horwich Festival of Racing, which over the past ten years has grown to become one of the most popular sporting events in the North West.
The event, formerly known as Horwich Carnival Races, has a new title to reflect that it embraces both sporting excellence and community participation across a range of events and activities.
Over the years, more than 7,500 people both young and old, from Olympic and World Championship medallists to those taking part for the very first time have taken to the streets of Horwich, whether to compete for championship medals or simply to enjoy the experience.
The British Cycling Elite Mens and Womens Circuit Championships, the AAA 5K Road Race Championships and in 2010 the British Para-cycling Circuit Championship have been amongst the highlights of past years, whilst the British Masters Federation have now firmly settled on staging their 5K road running and walking championships in Horwich. Alongside them, events for youth and 2nd to 4th category cyclists, a schools cycle challenge, street cycle race and fun run have given opportunities for everyone to take part.
Always looking to offer something different, penny farthing and railway sleeper events have featured been featured, whilst new for 2011 was the street orienteering challenge will test both physical and map reading skills in and around the town centre, with a round of the national para-cycling series one of the highlights on the circuit itself.
With sponsorship from many local companies and organisation including Emerson, Bluemantle, Craftprint, Provincial Insurance, and Bolton arena, along with continued support from both Horwich Town Council and Bolton Council, the Horwich Festival of Racing is set to go from stenght to strength.
A full programme of events and entry forms to submit, will be available nearer the time of the events...

Reverse WAG decision on Merthyr Village Project!
The Merthyr Village project was sensationally turned down by the Welsh Assembly Government on the grounds that it would \"it would have had adverse effects on conservation, historical sites and town centre regeneration\". This is a crazy decision. We therefore, as both residents of Merthyr and fans of Merthyr Tydfil FC (who would\'ve benefitted from a new stadium as part of the development) ask the WAG to reverse the desicion that was made, and allow this much needed project to be built.

My home has a very open floor plan and in the center is a very large greatroom.
In one corner is the kitchen which only has base cabinets and looks into the room . I have radiant heat so I am installing slate floors . I would like to use granite counters as the kitchen has a very big visual impact in the room . However , I can't picture how the slate will look with the polished granite . I thought of 2 options - to get honed (unpolished) granite or to put a slate enhancer on the floors so they will have that shiny wet look . Any ideas or advice would be appreciated . Thanks |

Slate and granite go together well. It's a common combination. We have granite countertops in our master bath (two separate vanities) with natural slate/quartzite floors. We have even integrated a granite chair rail into our shower room (full slate/quartzite stone). We also have slate in our mudroom with granite countertops. All of my granite is polished and all of my slate is unenhanced. You should be able to find a million pictures of this combination online or in kitchen/design books. |
Thanks Dixie - I am having a hard time picturing it and have been unsuccessful finding |

We have slate with a dull matte finish (just sealed to enhance the color) on the floors and backsplash with polished granite countertops. Hope these pics will give you an idea how they look together. |
When you think about it, almost no one uses the same material on the floors and counters. Slate floor and granite counter is no different than wood floor and granite, or tile floor and corian. |
Wow your kitchens look great ! Biosafarm - your slate is the same one I am considering . Lots of color in it but the counters match wonderfully . Can I ask what the granite is ? It really goes well with the slate . I think I will just take a few samples of the slate to the granite place and try to pick up the colors like you did . Thanks again - faye |
fayemarie, This is a little off topic but do you have any pictures of the look you are going for with base cabinets only? We are building the open floor plan with the kitchen in the corner but I can't picture what it would look like without upper cabinets. Sounds interesting though. |
- Posted by briosafarm (My Page) on Sun, Aug 17, 08 at 11:34
bto - I don't have my cabinets in yet or i would send a picture . I designed the house myself and had a draftsman draw the print . I am going to try and post a picture of the design so you can see how the layout will be . I've never posted a pic before so hope it works thanks faye CIMG0079.JPG |

- 1.25 pound(s) wild Alaskan salmon fillet
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
- 1 pinch(s) salt
- 1/4 cup(s) low-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoon(s) extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 tablespoon(s) orange juice
- 1 tablespoon(s) chopped fresh tarragon
- Soak a cedar grilling plank in water for 2 to 4 hours.
- About 20 minutes before you're ready to grill, preheat grill to medium. Season salmon with 1/2 teaspoon salt and let stand while the grill preheats.
- Meanwhile, combine yogurt with 1 tablespoon oil, orange juice, tarragon, and the remaining pinch of salt in a medium bowl. Whisk vigorously until all the oil has been incorporated into the yogurt.
- When ready to grill, brush the salmon with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Place the soaked cedar plank directly over the fire for about 1 minute. Using tongs, turn the plank over to expose the slightly charred side. Place the salmon fillet skin-side down on the plank. Cover the grill and cook until the salmon is easily flaked with a fork, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove the entire plank from the grill and serve from it or transfer the salmon to a serving platter. Serve the salmon with the sauce.

The "Great Recession" may have put a dent in many older adults' pocketbooks, but a new study, which will be presented at the 109th Annual Meeting of the American Sociological Association, finds that more than 40 percent reported a decrease in "financial strain" between 2006 and 2010.
Researcher Lindsay R. Wilkinson, an assistant professor of sociology in Baylor University's College of Arts & Sciences, drew on 5,205 respondents from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) to examine the effect of financial strain on the mental health and use of mood-altering drugs by older adults. HRS, sponsored by the National Institute on Aging, is the largest ongoing national study of adults age 51 and older.
Wilkinson found that only one-quarter of respondents indicated an increase in financial strain between 2006 and 2010, while about one-third said their strain remained the same.
"It's difficult to determine precisely why so many adults would experience less financial strain in 2010, but one possible explanation may be the perceptual nature of these evaluations," she said. "The Recession represents a historical time that affected a great number of people. Perhaps knowing that others were struggling reduced the stress felt by individuals."
Previous research has shown that economic stress typically decreases as one gets older, with the over-65 crowd benefitting from home ownership, medical insurance, and Social Security.
Wilkinson also discovered, however, that both initial financial strain and increasing strain over the period of the Recession exacted a toll on mental health. For instance, increasing financial strain was associated with worsening anxiety and depressive symptoms and increased the likelihood of using drugs such as antidepressants.
Wilkinson noted that her study — which included individuals from ages 51 to 96 — differs from many others on the Great Recession because "financial strain" is a subjective measure that was based on self-reporting rather than on economic indicators. To measure financial strain, the study examined whether respondents had difficulty making monthly payments and whether and to what degree they were satisfied with their present financial situation.
"Difficulty in making payments may appear more objective than satisfaction, but it's still a person's perception of his or her financial situation," Wilkinson said. "Two people might have the same amount left over every month, but one might say, 'Oh, my goodness, that's not enough,' while the other might say, 'Well, I paid my bills.' Subjective measures matter, because it's your reality — and that has an effect on health."
A 2011 survey by the American Association of Retired Persons indicated that "the Great Recession drove millions of older Americans to deplete savings accounts, put off medical or dental treatment, and reduce their retirement expectations."
Wilkinson tested the theory that financial strain would have a negative effect on mental health by using three measures — whether and to what degree respondents felt anxiety, whether and to what degree they were depressed, and whether they used anti-depressants, tranquilizers, or medicine for nerves.
Less than 10 percent of respondents in 2006 were taking mood-altering drugs (such as antidepressants or tranquilizers), which increased to 13 percent in 2010.
Respondents in Wilkinson's study completed both face-to-face interviews and self-administered questionnaires in 2006 and 2010. Questions dealt with daily life stressors, well-being, and psychosocial resources. The average age of those in the study in 2006 was 64, with most (68 percent) married and less than half employed. The average self-rating of health was 3.4 (on a scale of 1 to 5).
Those who were employed were more likely to have increased financial strain, most likely due to worries about high unemployment and job security. Also more likely to report an increase in financial strain were younger respondents, black and Hispanic individuals, and those who gave themselves low health ratings.
Individuals who were better educated and with greater household wealth were less likely to report increased financial strain.

It's clear Fergie and Josh Duhamel are really into Halloween.
The super star couple went all out for the holiday, transforming into two sets of creepy characters for parties last weekend.
The costumes were so intricate that the Black Eyes Peas singer and her Safe Haven star were completely unrecognizable wearing two corpse costumes one day and Elvira and Riff Raff get-ups the next.
"Hasta la muerte (until death)," Josh wrote on his Instagram page, along with a scary shot of the duo sporting the costumes in honor of the Day of the Dead Friday.
Saturday, they wore their Elvira and Riff Raff character costumes to Kate Hudson's big Halloween bash, with Josh covering his face in pale, white make-up and Fergie rocking some major faux cleavage in a low-cut dress.
"Fright night 2013. #halloween #elvira #riffraff," Fergie posted on her Instagram Saturday.
Fergie and Josh have already set the bar high for Halloween costumes. We can't wait to see what they have in store for Thursday!

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
DISCUSSION - PAKISTAN - ObL Residence/Support Base & the Wider Dilemma of the State
Released on 2012-10-18 17:00 GMT
Email-ID | 1099193 |
Date | 2011-05-03 22:31:17 |
From | firstname.lastname@example.com |
To | email@example.com |
List-Name | email@example.com |
have been living in the facility in Kakul since 2005. The house was
reportedly built around the same time. What this means is that ObL lived
elsewhere since his disappearance from Tora Bora.
There was a recent report - from CNN and dated April 28 - quoting
assessments of Guantanamo Bay detainees that ObL didn't go straight to
Pakistan. Instead he first went to Jalalabad and then to the northeastern
Afghan province of Kunar (lots of different jihadist actors there
Haqqanis, Salafi Taliban, aQ, Hekmatyaar, etc) and remained there until
late 2002 which is when he moved to Pakistan. At that time this facility
had not been built and it is a long trek from Kunar to Abbottabad and the
risks of being caught pretty high.
Therefore, ObL had to have stayed in other places in Pakistan before he
arrived at the compound where was killed. In late 2003, we had that video
of him and al-Zawahiri shown walking in mountains with lots of vegetation.
At the time we had said that this looks like Chitral/Dir/Swat area, which
would make sense because Kunar hugs the tribal agency of Bajaur, and the
K-P districts of Dir and Chitral on the Pakistani side (if I have my map
right). Also, recall the various reports of ObL being in Chitral a few
years back.
In Oct 2005, Pakistan had a major earthquake that hits the eastern
districts of K-P (then NWFP) and Pak-administered Kashmir and the district
of Abbottabad was badly affected. Within a couple of weeks of the temblor,
Zawahiri issued a video
[http://www.stratfor.com/geopolitical_diary_sunday_oct_23_2005] saying
that he and his associates were not in the areas hit by the quake. What
that means is that ObL was still in areas closer to the Afghan border.
At some point he decided that it was safer for him to be in Kakul not far
from a large air force base, the military academy and close to a major
thoroughfare with a much more denser population. Why? I don't buy the
official protection theory.
Why would ObL/aQ depend upon those for security who could throw him under
a bus for their own interests in a heartbeat? Also, al-Qaeda has been
waging war against the Pakistani state attacking military and intelligence
facilities all over the country. How could that very state be harboring
them? The only explanation that makes sense is what we have known for a
while, which is that aQ has allies among elements within the security
establishment and the place is so fucked up that it is very easy for all
sorts of militant actors from across the world to have sanctuary there.
There is lot of talk about ungoverned spaces in the country in reference
to the tribal areas the parts of K-P province adjacently located. The
reality is that these ungoverned spaces exist all over the country. Even
in major urban centers.
The country has a burgeoning population. I remember as a kid in 6th grade
back in '79 learning that the population was 120 million. Today some 32
years later it is 180 million! Only 20 years ago there was a vast
emptiness between Islamabad and my father's ancestral village about a 90
minute drive eastwards on G.T. Road. In March, I happened to drive on that
road after nearly two decades on my way to meet the Commander of the 1st
Corps at Mangla (on the border between Punjab and Pak -administered
Kashmir) and what was amazing to see is the massive construction on both
sides of the road, the sheer number of people and resulting traffic
issues. There are very few empty spaces left.
At the same time, we have a progressively weakening state that has
experienced growing religiousity over the course of the last 30 years and
has cultivated a whole slew of militant actors for foreign policy
purposes. One of the things that I realized in my recent trip is that the
population growth has led to the rise of different social forces
(political actors, business community, civil society, media, militancy)
but the military-intelligence complex that has managed the state is more
or less of the same size. What this means is that the establishment is no
longer in control of things as it once used to be. Add jihadism to this
mix and you can see how things are the way they are.

"Absolutely excellent! This is going to be my 'go-to' pizza dough recipe from now on. I also omitted the MSG and it was great. Along with the other reviews, we cooked it for about 45 minutes and added extra garlic. Thanks for a Keeper!"
"Really good! Just a note to self. NO added salt. For some odd reason this came out quite salty, but probably my fault. The real reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 was that the overall consistency was very thin. And for us, a thicker sauce for pasta is what is needed. I'll definitely make it again but a bit thicker. Thanks for posting!"
"Excellent! I'm making it for company tonight for the second time. I only use one strip of bacon stretched thin, as the 2 slices gave the dish too much of a 'sausage'/pork flavor. Definitely a keeper! Thanks for posting!"
"Absolutely perfect! I scaled the amounts down and used it on 2 pounds of lamb ribs. Just perfect! Thanks for a keeper!"

Nails meet Code. However, for the tightest, least squeaky floor, I nail, screw and glue. It's the default system in high-end homes. Auto-feed screw gun used to screw down decks and subfloors from a standing position. |

Glue and screw floors and drywall. It's stronger and quieter. |
and drywall If you're depending on the drywall for the house's structural integrity, you're cutting it too close. Quieter? Only with "Green Glue". Cheaper? Maybe, as it reduces the number of screw holes to patch. And you hope that the glue has improved since the 1970s and the drywall doesn't "belly out" over time. Reduces nail pops? That's Lstiburek's verdict, as he recommends short screws and glue. (RR-0107) |

For more than a century, the Kansas City Stockyards fed a nation hungry for fresh meat. The heyday of the stockyards is long gone, undermined by flood, environmental concerns, and shifting economics. But this powerful financial engine is celebrated in Cowtown: History of the Kansas City Stockyards, a new exhibition of photographs, blueprints, drawings, and documents culled from more than 5,000 items retrieved from a Livestock Exchange Building storeroom in 2008.
Richard Berkley spent considerable time on both sides of the camera lens – as the longest-serving mayor in Kansas City's history and as a prolific amateur photographer who never met a U.S. president, sports star, movie personality, or average Joe he couldn't capture in color or black and white.
Lucile Bluford — for whom the Library's L.H. Bluford Branch is named — played a key role in the eventual elimination of the country's "separate but equal" doctrine in education. Though losing a lengthy legal battle for admission to the University of Missouri's graduate program in journalism, arguments and precedents from her case and others laid a foundation for the Supreme Court's landmark Brown v. Board of Education decision in 1954.

So I've been brewing for a few months and have been pretty meticulous with sanitation, but apparently I've got an infection. I took a couple pics, and I was wondering if anybody could identify it. Its pretty freaky looking.
That sucks. Beautiful pellicle though! Dump it. Sorry to hear about this. Sniff sniff.
Next: Dead Guy Clone, Weißbier Fermenting: The Riley Kegged: Dry Stout, RyePA My Blog! www.beerunion.net
You don't have to dump it. Just let it sit for a couple years and enjoy it as a sour instead. By the way, the fact that it's sitting right next to a vent may have something to do with it.
I see what looks like some hops around the pellicle. Did you dry hop? If so, did you boil them before adding them? Just wondering what could have caused your infection.
That doesn't look like a pellicule or an infection, that looks like trapped co2 bubbles from the oil slick that is often produced by dry hopping. The bubbles are form co2 tapped beneath the skin...NOT AN INFECTION... AND you would be silly to Dump it based on anyone's suggestion. Especially if you didn't taste it first. The only way to know if it is an infection is to smell it and taste it. Even if it is a pellicule, that doesn't mean it is infected....Pellicules are often formed to PROTECT the beer from an infection, it forms a skin to keep the beer safe, and if you racked under it you often find that the beer is perfectly fine., But I am pretty sure that what I am seeing here, is the same thing that I have seen in my fermenters when I dry hop....nothing to worry about. Again, you have to taste it to make sure.

He has a Harley and a t-shirt that says on the back "If you can read this, the bitch was Raptured. - Madman I gotta tell ya, just between us girls, that Revvy is HOT.

And the Reverend steps in for the win.

The AcqKnowledge software includes a fully-automated Heart Rate Variability analysis tool. The algorithm conforms to the frequency domain algorithm guidelines as published by the European Heart Journal.
The frequency information is extracted from the RR intervals and analyzed to produce standard ratios. Power sums are reported in units of sec2/Hz. A Welch periodogram is used to generate the Power Spectral Density (equivalent to Transform > Power Spectral Density).
AcqKnowledge also inlcudes a Poincare plot option that will display either selected areas of the data, or the entire file. The Poincare plot is an X/Y plot of the RR intervals in seconds. One axis displays the RR interval and the other axis displays the interval delayed by one beat.
Note: The BioHarness is not recommended for heart rate variability studies because the sample rate used to record the ECG waveform is at the very low end of the optimal range for HRV studies.

This beautifully restored 18th century townhouse is in the lovely village of Uzès, capital of the province of the Gard in southern France. The house is located immediately outside the original medieval town walls and is a two minute walk away from the 12th century market place the Place aux Herbes, which hosts a Provencale market every Saturday. The house was constructed in the 18th century as a gentle men's town house on much older foundations. It was restored by Dr. Patrick Woodcock in the early 80s and has featured in a number of books and documentaries about the region. The house is comfortably furnished with a mixture of contemporary English and 18-19th century French furniture. The roof terrace at the top of the house provides lovely views of the town center and surroundings. There is a lovely shaded walled garden at the back of the house. Both the roof terrace and the garden have large dining tables. Car parking a few minutes walk from the house.
How To Get There: Closest to Uzes are the airports of Nîmes and Montpellier. Direct services from the UK are provided by Ryanair operating out of London Stansted, or British Airways from London Gatwick. Air France provides services from Paris. Car hire services are available from both airports. It takes about 20 minutes to drive from Nîmes and just over one hour from Montpellier. Easyjet flies to Marseile and Toulouse. KLM also operates flights from Amsterdam to Marseille.
Avignon is also served by TGV from both Paris and Marseille. Car hire companies operate in Avignon at walking distance from Avignon Centre railway station. Note that the new TGV station is substantially outside the town. Limited car hire facilities are available in Uzès. It is advisable to book well in advance. Uzès is approximately 30 minutes by car from Avignon.
Things to do: The "Office de Tourisme" is located in Place Albert 1er (next to the Bar de la Fontaine). They have wealth of information about Uzès and the region. The staff are helpful and it worth a visit to view this magnificently restored stone vaulted chapel. Every quarter or so they produce a publication advertising "what's on". It is worth checking this out as there are a surprising number of cultural activities which take place over the summer months.
Swimming. There is a 25 meter municipal swimming pool located just outside the center of town on the road (D982) towards Bagnols-sur-Ceze. Pass beneath the Roman arch just below the Promenade des Maronniers, descend the steps and turn sharply to the left. Opening times vary through the year so check with the Office de Tourisme or at the pool itself.
More things to do: Tennis. The Tennis Club d'Uzès has a number of clay courts which can be hired by visitors. The club is located in the same area as the swimming pool. Information and details can likewise be obtained from the Office de Tourisme or the club itself.
Walking. There are a number of attractive walks that can be made around the town. The starting points for most are either in the Parc Municipal below the Parade des Marroniers (same entrance as the swimming pool) or the Chemin de Gisfort which runs off the Boulevard Victor Hugo below the Hopital General. The Parc Municipal contains a football field and a number of exercise points for determined joggers. Remains of the Roman aqueduct which took the water from the spring near Uzès to Nîmes via the Pont du Gard have been partially excavated and are still to be found here.
Uzès sits on a limestone hill at an elevation of 130 metres. The Romans converted this natural defensive position into an encampment to defend Nîmes, one of the richest and most important cities in France in Roman times. Springs close by sourced the water which was carried to Nîmes via the famous nearby Pont du Gard. Roman water channels can still be found in the valley next to the river Alzon at the foot of the hill on which Uzès is perched. The skyline of this handsome medieval village is dominated by the eleventh century castle which is still occupied by one of the oldest noble families in France, the Duc d'Uzès. The bishop's palace was built in the 17th century. The cathedral of Saint Theodorit is decorated with the Tour Fenestrelle, one of the most picturesque romanesque towers in the region. In the centre of the village is a perfectly preserved 12th century market-place, the Place aux Herbes, which hosts one of the prettiest markets in France every Saturday.
Golf: There is a very attractive nine hole golf course at the "Golf Club d'Uzès" a few kilometers outside Uzès. The golf course is available to visitors and is open from 0800 to 1900 every day. Please note that you will have to provide proof of a handicap of 35 or less AND proof of membership of a golf club in your country of residence. Prices are reasonable (euro 20/25 weekday/weekend) and clubs and equipment can also be hired. The course is on the Chemin de Malaric and is well signposted to the right of the D981 from Uzès to Remoulins just before the Pont des Charettes. Telephone 04 66 22 40 03, email golfUzès@club-internet.fr, web site: http://perso.club-internet.fr/golfUzès. Further information is available in the Uzès tourist information folder.

The Rosy Crucifixion: Iraqi Reality Behind the Filter |
Written by Chris Floyd |
Saturday, 26 February 2011 20:53 |
Following up from Friday's post on dissent against the American-imposed regime in Iraq, here are some observations from As'ad AbuKhalil on how the reality of the occupied land gets transmuted through the magic seeing stones of the American media into something more rosy and benign: First, notice that US media, especially the New York Times and Washington Post, cover Iraq with barely a mention that the country is occupied and has been occupied since 2003. Secondly, notice that every article about repression and protests in Iraq has to mention that the country is a "democracy" as if to express amazement at the willingness of Iraqis to protest against it (this is today's NYT: "Unlike protests elsewhere in the region, the crowds in this young, war-torn democracy did not call for an entirely new form of government..."). See AbuKhalil's post for further observations. blog comments powered by Disqus |

Angelo Gregucci has confirmed that Manchester City are interested in signing forward Stevan Jovetic from Fiorentina.
The Montenegro forward has been strongly linked with the Premier League champions for several months, with his Italian club continuing to insist that he is not for sale.
City's defensive coach Gregucci has now stated that they are keen to add the 22-year-old to their squad.
"Jovetic is on our transfer list, we cannot deny it," he told Violanews.com. "He is a great player, but I don't know if he will wear the Manchester City shirt or not.
"City's interest in him is real, we cannot hide it."

A Marin County judge refused Friday to give a convicted serial killer more time to prepare for his sentencing hearing.
Joseph Naso, 79, sought a delay in the Nov. 8 sentencing, saying he was still working on motions for a new trial or a reduced sentence. The deadline for new defense motions was Friday.
Naso said the work was complex and arduous, and that an inmate in the adjacent jail cell was repeatedly causing noisy disruptions.
"This is a big project for me, preparing for my sentencing," Naso said.
Judge Andrew Sweet said Naso has known his sentencing date since Sept. 20, a few days after the jury gave him the death penalty.
"What have you been doing the past month?" Sweet said. "What appears to the court is that you haven't been diligently managing your business."
Naso countered, "It's easy for you to say I've been diddling. ... What have I been doing? I've been working on these motions over and over."
Sweet left the sentencing date as it was.
In a separate hearing last week, Judge James Chou ordered Naso to meet with county lawyers to discuss his finances.
When Naso was arrested, prosecutors said he had more than $1 million in assets, but his current worth is unclear. Although he saved a fortune in legal fees by representing himself, county lawyers are not sure whether he has transferred his assets to other people.
Assistant County Counsel Jack Govi said the county will seek the reimbursement of more than $138,000 for advisory services the public defender's office provided during the lengthy case. Govi said the cost could rise as additional invoices come in.
"No amount of money can rectify the horrifying inhumanity that this defendant committed," he said. "However, the public should not suffer the indignity of paying for the cost of this barbarian's defense. We will pursue his assets aggressively and vigorously to prevent that from happening."
The conference on Naso's wealth is set for Dec. 13. Naso will not be allowed to remain at the county jail between his sentencing and the meeting.
Naso could also face wrongful death lawsuits from the families of his numerous victims.
Naso was convicted in September for the murders of Roxene Roggasch, 18, who was dumped west of Fairfax in 1977; Carmen Colon, 22, who was found near Port Costa in 1978; Pamela Parsons, 38, who was found in Yuba County in 1993; and Tracy Tafoya, 31, who was found in Yuba County in 1994.
During the death penalty phase of the trial, prosecutors introduced even more evidence linking Naso to two other uncharged murders and numerous rapes or sexual assaults. The other two murder victims were Sharileea Patton, whose body washed up in Tiburon in 1981, and Sara Dylan, a nomadic Bob Dylan groupie who was killed in 1992 in or near Nevada County.
Naso, a retired photographer, was arrested in 2010 after a probation search at his home in Reno turned up incriminating writings and photographs, including a diary that allegedly documented a half century of rapes and sex crimes.

It's been a LONG time since we've done a Throwback Review. So let's pick up where we left off: with an insufferable TARDIS couple realizing that things are just a little bit complicated, and a heaping helping of nostalgia from the Archetypal Companion and the Shooty Dog Thing.
It's still Christmas, darn it! And the Doctor Who series isn't over yet! At least that's what I'm trying to convince myself, by inviting National Public Radio's Petra Mayer and Doctor Who: Verity!'s Tansy Rayner Roberts over to 2MTL to talk one last time about Last Christmas, Steven Moffat and Clara Oswald.
Jolly old St. Nick? Radagast to the Doctor's Gandalf. Dreamcrabs? Scary. Mystery North Pole outpost? More and less than it seems. "Last Christmas"? Several levels of delightful.
Sure, the Cybermen looked impressive in the Series 8 finale. But were they sufficiently Cybermenny? Is it time to rethink the Cybermen, or better yet, take a break and bring them back to first principles?
It's a Time Dilation episode of 2MTL, in which the "Two-minute" part becomes a colossal lie! Joining me in reviewing Series 8 and predicting Doctor Who's future are:
- Lynne Thomas of Verity! and Uncanny Magazine!
- Kyle Anderson of Doctor Who: The Writer's Room and Nerdist.com!
- Graeme Burk of Reality Bomb and Who's 50: The 50 Doctor Who Stories to Watch Before You Die!
- Mark Goodacre of the NT Pod and one of my favorite 2MTL episodes ever, 2MTL 316: What IS "Doctor Who Canon" Anyway???
Best. Moffat. Finale. Ever.
Best. Moffat. Series. Ever.
And yet, somehow, I'm not sure how much more I can take!
Sometimes the BBC can't help but spoil the surprise. Sometimes the reveals aren't all that revealing. Sometimes you dismiss the obvious because it's too obvious. Sometimes it doesn't matter, because the episode is brilliant and even wickedly funny because there's no surprise.
Yes, yes and more yes, as this supposedly "Doctor-Lite" episode gives us both Clara-as-the-Doctor and The-Doctor-as-someone-who's-thinking-he's-doing-his-job-too-well.
"Mummy on the Orient Express" does what it says on the tin, and. while not a "romp" as such, it's perfectly timed after last week's angst and controversy.

Flame-retardant mouths can test their strength by taking the hot-wings challenge, a 15-minute eat-off that ends with a photo on either the Wall of Champions or the Wall of Shame.

Before hosting moviegoers, the 111,000-square-foot Moolah Temple was home to a colony of pigeons. According to Amy Gill, co-head of the 1913-built temple's restoration team in 2003, the birds were "living in every crack and crevice" among debris, peeling paint, and cracked floors. Thanks to the team's refurbishing, leather couches and love seats, as well as balcony and stadium seating, now adorn the bird-free theater. Moolah Theatre only boasts a single screen, but what it lacks in quantity is made up for in size: its 20-by-45-foot screen showcases everything from the latest Hollywood releases to midnight movie staples such as The Big Lebowski.
Like "The Dude," Moolah Theatre celebrates bowling with eight lanes at its in-house retro alley. Post-flick fun can also include playing billiards, blasting tunes on the StarLink Internet Jukebox, or burping arcade games that ate too many quarters.
