Isola di Murano Things to Do
Kitschiness at its best.
So what to do once you´re at Murano? Well take your wallet and your credidt card, but most of all take your sense of humor. The kitschiness of some of the glassware is hysterical and you have to wonder who buys the green hippoes and pink flamingoes on show in some of the galleries. We ended up buying a book layer and some other small stuff.But most...

Largest island in the lagoon.
Sleepy Murano is the largest of islands in the lagoon. It lies about 1,5 km across from Venice and was inhabitated since Roman times. The word Murano nowadays suggests glass factories and glass blowing. In fact the development of this island in the Middle Ages is strictly connected with glass. Murano was a commercial port as far back as the 7th...

Basilica di Santi Maria e Donato.
Despite the fact that the Museo Vetrario was closed and the canals were under construction there still were some nice sites we wanted to visit. Murano with a similar shape to Venice, is a nine island system, connected by wooden and masonry bridges, crossing the Canal Grande (Grand Canal). And because we had time on our hands we spended more time of...

Try to look beyond the glass
Most visitors to Murano spend the whole time there wandering from one glass shop to the other. I recommend buying your souvenirs quickly - or in Venice proper, where the choice is not any narrower - which will allow you to discover leisurely an interesting working-class island with much atmosphere of its own.

Watch a glass artisan
Back in 1973, you could get in for free. Nowadays, a tout may extract a couple of euros from you, but it's still quite a show. The techniques are surprising: the way the handle of a pitcher gets pulled out like taffy is a true coup de théatre. Add the glow and the roar of the furnace, and you have an experience that combines the delicate and the...

Tour the glass Factories
I went round the factories in Murano and saw the making of glass. What amazed me was their final product. They are one of the most beautiful glasses I had ever seen. The way they blew it had created masterpieces of their own. Actually once you stepped foot on Murano, there will be many anticing you to their showrooms. Take a look around and go in...
Isola di Murano Transportation
To reach Murano most quickly, take the Vaporetto from the Fondamente Nove stop in the Cannaregio. The LN line passes by San Michele (the cemetery island) and reaches Murano's lightouse, or faro soon thereafter.
Murano is larger than Burano, and it has a small network of Vaporetto of its own.Related to:- Historical Travel
Isola di Murano Shopping
Daughter of one of the Glass Blowers
This is the daughter of one of the family. She was earning her way through college. She wrapped all our purchases and sent them to our home. Be sure and request that she show you their private glass collection.

An original Family of Murano
Be sure and check my warnings for the good glass blowers. I Toso carries lots of stuff that they sell cheap but also produce some very nice collectors items. This is the kilms, the age goes back generations.

Glassmakers in action.
The word Murano nowadays suggests glass factories and glass blowing. In fact the development of this island in the Middle Ages is strictly connected with glass. Like we said at the end of the 13th century the Venetian government decided to move all existing glass factories in Venice to the island. Because of this decision the methods of the craft...

Voltage, frequency and plug ins.
Maybe it sounds a bit weird, but as an experience traveler I know that you every now and then need this kind of information in advance: electricity in Italy is 230 Volts, alternating at 50 cycles per second. If you travel to Italy with a device that does not accept 230 Volts at 50 Hertz, you will need a voltage converter.There are three main types...

Don't Forget Insurance
If your current health insurance doesn't cover you while your abroad, you should consider getting international travel insurance just in case something should go wrong.
Isola di Murano Tourist Traps
Be very careful when buying your Venetian Glass. I have had conversations with numerous venetian's and also read that organized crime has crept into the glass trade. A very large portion of the glass that you find in Venice has been blown in Asia, not Italy. I collect glass so I was very much concerned. I make a point of finding out who the old time glass blowers are and only buy from their representatives on Murano. One such dealer informed me he was actually afraid to raise a fuss about all the counterfeit stuff now in Venice. It seems that legally they can't do much about it. If you find glass that is cheaper than most be aware!!!! It is best to read a little about Murano's history and learn the families names. No reason to go all the trouble to buy collectible glass to only have it imported. I particularly like Marcello Ravanello's shop, Vetri D' Arte, Fondamenta Vetrai, 56 exclusive Nason & Moretti work. He carries some very fine collectors glass that is expensive but not outrageous. I also like the I Toso work, Fondamenta Colleoni 7, Another good glass artist is La Murrina, Via Isonzo 11.

Isola di Murano Off The Beaten Path
Murano isn't a big island. The biggest issue why you travel to Murano is because of the Glass manufacturies. As soon as you go off the boat you find the bigget Murano glass factory in front of you. Too much touristic for me, so we wanted instead to discover the island. We started walking through the tiny streets of this cute little island that seems like a small Venice.
Of course I didn't wanted to go home without a Murano glass souvenir. We ended up finding a small shop. The owner Andrea Giubelli, makes lamps, neckalces, earrings and bracelets in Murano glass. And today I am the proud owner of a pair of earrings in blue and white.

As gamers who grew up with early games consoles become adults, gaming in public has exploded into all-new territory over the last couple of years. Forget sitting in your tiny apartment and playing online: Tokyo's thumb-twiddlers prefer to come together in game bars.
Opening in March last year, Famicom City occupies the fifth floor of a building in the shopping district of Shibuya (Tokyo's version of Oxford Circus) and caters to gamers with a retro itch that can't be scratched by their oh-so-modern Wii or DS.
Before the lift doors even open, visitors' ears are greeted by the nostalgic sound of coins being collected in the SNES classic Super Mario World, running not on the Wii compilation disc but a real old-school cartridge.
Famicom City has a swollen collection of consoles - NES (that's Famicom in Japan), SNES, Neo Geo, Sega Saturn, PlayStation and so on - and a library of roughly 600 games, stored behind the bar and listed in a menu like the ones you'd find at a karaoke booth. Choose your game and the staff will hook up the relevant console and peripheral for you.
You can then play as much as you like, swapping games or even consoles as your little heart desires, for a fixed hourly rate of around 1,280 (£9.50, although the lousy exchange rate makes it sound more expensive than it is), depending on the time of day. And get this: soft and alcoholic drinks are included in the price! Food is also available, so you can really make a night of it.
Dream date "Oh, great choice!" says bartender Yusuke Shimizu as we select Kirby's Dream Course, a SNES game from 1994 that has you putting the inflatable mascot around a psychedelic golf course. It's a Tuesday night, but Famicom City is already packed, meaning all the NES consoles have been bagged by other customers.
Not that we mind, as we switch over to another SNES title, Yoshi's Island, for some monster-munching platform action. The 16-bit SNES (known, logically, as the Super Famicom in Japan) was massively successful in Japan. "We thought about also getting a Sega Mega Drive, but it was never as popular here as it was in the west," says Shimizu.
The bar looks like, well, a bar. There's a counter with seats for four or five customers and three flat-screen TVs, perfect for solo gamers or couples on a playdate. There's also several screen-equipped booths of various sizes for groups of two to ten, where chic women and suited young salarymen can settle on sofas for extended sessions.
Classic NES carts grace arty picture frames and revolving jewellery displays dotted around the bar, while heavy-duty joysticks, Game Boy Color consoles and GameCube bongo drums line the higher shelves - all playable by request. Behind the bar - chaos.
Consoles and controllers clutter every shelf, and the staff duck as they pass from one end of the counter to the other, taking care not to obscure your view of the screen behind the bar, and stepping over and under cables. There's a crash as several consoles fall to the floor while in another corner an over-excited customer has spilled beer all over a NES.
But it all goes to prove how much sturdier and well-built those old consoles were: their chunky plastic casing and simple chipsets made them practically indestructible, so they're quite happy in here. It's not just Famicom City where you can get your sociable gaming fix.
The nearby Dogenzaka Cafe is another fully fledged bar that hosts themed game nights - Monster Hunter PSP team sessions are the most popular - while Shibuya Portable Game Space offers a nerdier vibe in a boxy space that recalls an internet cafe.

Donglegate: Why the Tech Community Hates Feminists
- Friday March 29, 2013
Much has already been discussed about the "Donglegate" incident, so rather than attempting to discern whether Adria Richards was in the right or the wrong, I've been thinking about why the issue blew up and what it reveals. Because it's far from the first time this kind of thing has happened. The Richards incident and resulting backlash not only reveals the lack of diversity and presence of misogyny in tech culture, but the myth of meritocracy and the growing belief in "misandry" online and "Men's Rights Activism".

WATER VALLEY — Casey Clouse was at a loss for words Friday night as her Water Valley Lady Blue Devils had a three-game winning streak snapped by the Bruce Lady Trojans. Ineffective pitching and costly errors were at the root of Water Valley's problems, as a 10-run sixth inning propelled Bruce to a 17-10 victory. (March 11, 2013, Page 3B)
Pearson makes all the plays and more for OHS
Jessica Pearson always had a knack of turning nothing into something.
As the setter on Oxford's volleyball team, it wasn't uncommon to see Pearson not only set up a teammate for the kill when the Lady Chargers' passing was on point, but also go sprawling out of bounds in an attempt to keep the play alive. (more…) (October 25, 2012, Page 1B)
Lady 'Dores gain steam in win at WV
WATER VALLEY — Monday's volleyball match was definitely a struggle for the Water Valley Lady Blue Devils and the visiting Lafayette Lady Commodores.
Early on, both squads struggled to serve consistently and make the basic plays necessary to build a lead.
As the match progressed, however, Lafayette made the necessary adjustments to claim a 3-0 (25-19, 25-16, 25-11) victory at Water Valley. (August 28, 2012, Page 7)
Versatile Smith took her game to another level
Heading into this season Lafayette volleyball coach Rachel Wenzel was faced with a rather large problem: How could the Lady Commodores replace the production and leadership that left along with the graduated senior class?
She knew it would be no easy task, but senior middle blocker Ashley Smith went to Wenzel and requested that her coach trust her enough to allow her to play all the way around, rather than be substituted in the back row. (more…) (October 26, 2011, Page 1B)
Lafayette downs improved Lady Devils
WATER VALLEY — The Water Valley volleyball team has showed marked improvement over the course of the last two weeks.
After being over-powered on Aug. 25 at Lafayette, the Lady Blue Devils played a competitive match in the return trip on Thursday, falling to the Lady Commodores 3-1 (26-24, 25-18, 24-26, 25-21).
Even if the end result was still a loss, it was obvious at Water Valley's auxiliary gym that the Lady Blue Devils have made significant strides as a team under first-year coach Casey Clouse. (September 9, 2011, Page 8A)
Lady 'Dores work out kinks against WVHS
The Lady Commodores volleyball squad made quick work of Water Valley on Thursday, cruising to a 3-0 (25-8, 25-13, 25-9) win at the LHS gym.
For Lafayette (2-3 overall), Thursday's match provided coach Rachel Wenzel an opportunity to tweak her starting lineup. (August 26, 2011, Page 7A)
Prep volleyball set to get going
While the area football teams are braving the blistering heat, the prep volleyball squads are busting their tails in their respective gyms preparing for their season openers. While Oxford opens its season this weekend in Jackson at the Set It Off Challenge, Lafayette and Water Valley begin on Tuesday.
Water Valley will be led by first-year coach Casey Clouse, who admits it could be an interesting first season with the Lady Blue Devils. (August 5, 2011, Page 9A)
Plenty of new faces at LHS on Tuesday
Tuesday proved to be a busy evening at Lafayette High School.
Not only were each of the five baseball and softball teams filled with underclassmen looking to make their mark and get their shot at starting, but the Water Valley and Lafayette softball teams were also under the direction of new head coaches in Casey Clouse and Katie Moore respectively. (more…) (June 8, 2011, Page 7A)
WVHS tabs Clouse as next softball coach
With an emphasis on the future, Water Valley has hired Hollandale-Simmons coach Casey Clouse to lead its softball program.
The hiring of Clouse was officially approved at the Water Valley Schoolboard meeting on April 4. She will replace Kendra Bensch, who announced earlier this season that she will be relocating with her family during the summer. (April 18, 2011, Page 3B)

Nan Mountains
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Nanling Mountains)
The Nan Mountains (Simplified: 南岭; Traditional: 南嶺; Pinyin: Nánlǐng), also known as the "Five Ranges", (Chinese: 五岭; pinyin: Wǔ Lǐng) are a group of mountain ranges in Southern China, running through the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Guangdong Province, and Hunan Province.
The five mountain ranges that make up the Nanling are the:
- Yuecheng Mountains (越城岭),
- Dupang Mountains (都庞岭)
- Mengju Mountains (萌渚岭),
- Qitan Mountains (骑田岭)
- Dayu Mountains (大庾岭).
The Nanling Mountains separate Central China from South China. Areas south of the ranges are tropical in climate, permitting two crops of white rice to be grown each year.
Ion adsorption clays are mined by open-pit methods in the Nanling region, and form a major source of rare earth elements in the world.[1]

When I first saw the Earbuddy storage system for the iPod earbuds, I thought to myself, "How cute! And what a good idea!" After all, I spend about half of my daily bus commute home untangling my headphone wires from the mess they got themselves into when I tossed them unceremoniously in my bag that morning. It'd be nice to have them organised.
However, I then read the specs on this $15 accessory, and I see now that I never should have called it cute. Apparently what I saw as earbud storage is actually earbud "body armour," made of "ballistic nylon" and "able to stand up to the everyday dangers of the urban jungle." This is a tough earbud holder, an earbud holder for earbuds that lead exciting, dangerous lives. Or perhaps an earbud holder for the slightly paranoid. -[Star C. Foster]

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.

You mention that China is a big investor in energy in Brazil. Brazil's
industry needs energy to operate.
You also say that Brazil has limited options - tariffs and anti-dumping
measures - to deal with China and keep FIESP happy. In its attempts
correct its imbalance with China, how much does Brazil put at risk losing
China's energy investment? If the risk is high, are there others (Brazil
itself or other countries) that would be interest and able to step in with
energy investments to replace China?
Just want to make sure Brazil can avoid a Catch 22 in terms of addressing
its domestic industry and working out its relationship with China.
Keeping out Chinese good does no good for Brazilian industry if it doesn't
have the energy needed to continue with its own production.
paulo, this looks good. The main forecast then is that Brazil,
regardless of who wins the election, will sooner or later need to
address its economic imbalance with China. What are the costs to Brazil
for imposing such anti-dumping measures on Chinese products? is this
becoming an issue for other countries in the region as well, or is
brazil the only one with a manufacturing industry that can compensate
for chinese goods?
On Aug 31, 2010, at 2:45 PM, Paulo Gregoire wrote:
The Brazilian industry sector has been pressuring the Brazilian
government to apply anti-dumping policies against Chinese products as
the imports of Chinese manufactured goods have increased at an average
of 40 percent a year in the last 5 years. .
Why it matters:
Although China is Brazil's principal market for its commodities and
also its main foreign direct investor with 20 US$ billion for this
year, the investments made by China are mainly related to the
agriculture and energy sectors. The exports of minerals and soybeans
represent 62 percent of the total export trade from Brazil to China.
The Chinese demand for commodities helped the Brazilian economy
maintain continuous trade surpluses until 2006 when China started
increasing its exports of manufactured goods to Brazil. In 2003 when
President da Silva came to power, Brazil perceived the increase of
trade withChina as a possibility to expand this partnership to other
areas as well and also gain China's support for a permanent seat in
the United Nations Security Council. Brasilia acknowledged China as a
market economy in 2004 and in the same year voted for a non-action
motion that prevented the vote on a resolution that would
force China to cooperate with the international community on matters
related to human rights. Nevertheless, there has been a lack of
reciprocity at the political level as Chinahas positioned itself
against new entries into the UNSC. Concerns over the future of
Brazil-China trade relations have also started to emerge as Brazil's
main federation of industries, FIESP, has been pressuring the
government to apply anti-dumping policies against Chinese products
that are assembled in third countries, devalue the Real, and increase
restrictions on Chinese purchase of mining assets and land.
As Brazil industrializes, trade relations with China have reached a
stage where it has become more conflictive.
What to expect: Although Brazil benefits from the Chinese demand for
commodities, Brasilia has a manufacturing sector that creates jobs and
needs to be protected from Chinese competition. Brazil does not have
many options to deal with this situation, other than imposing more
tariffs and anti-dumping policies, mainly because it cannot compete
with Chinese labor, its low exchange rate, and investment in
infrastructure that is higher in China than in Brazil. The strategic
partnership withChina that Brasilia had envisioned in 2003 will hardly
reach fruition as conflicting interests between both countries have
started to emerge.

While Qualcomm didn't directly say Samsung isn't using the Snapdragon 810 in its next-gen flagship, they did reveal that they are adjusting revenue expectations for the second half of the year due to the fact that a "large customer" has elected not to use Qualcomm's latest chip in their flagship device.

In "Romeo and Juliet", Juliet is 13, but how old is Romeo?
2 Answers | Add Yours
Good question. Juliet's age is, you're quite right, specified by the Nurse and Lady Capulet in Juliet's first scene as not-quite-fourteen.
As for Romeo's age, Shakespeare never tells us! We know - from what Friar Laurence and the Nurse comment on various occasions - that he is a "young" man (2.4.119) but we don't know precisely how young. A stage tradition has grown up of playing him as older than Juliet.
Shakespeare's sources don't really help either. Arthur Brooke's poem about Romeo and Juliet has Romeo's "tender chin" without a beard - suggesting, perhaps, anything from 12 - 18? And Bandello - whose novella Giulietta e Romeo was the source for Brooke's poem - gives his age as 20 or 21.
So the answer is - we just don't know.
That's a good question, Romeo is supposedly to be around 18 or 19 years old.

Any suggestions? The Paniculata seems to be the best choice? |

If you can get only one, my choice would be either Pee Wee or Tickled Pink. Twist and Shout is always going to struggle a little in your area. I'm assuming you want a smaller paniculata and not something like Limelight (or maybe you already have Limelight). I'm trying a new dwarf paniculta this year called 'Lil Lime' from Wayside. The blooms are full like Limelight's. However, you may prefer the airy, light blooms like Pee Wee and Tickled Pink, but I like the filled out blooms. |
Here is a link that might be useful: All About Hydrangeas
I vote for TP (no experience yet-just planted) dried blooms waving & *gamboling* ('luv the word!) in Winter breeze! *'Tickled Pink' leafs out early, but no fall color* Beats my front planted-encaged Serratas/laced w/ fake garland of holly!!! LOL |

Who knows their way around the Hobby King website?
Got the EH200 BL, Turnigy Basic 18A ESC and the 2.3mm 10T pinion gear in my shopping basket, but would like to check out how much shipping to Germany will be before I carry on with the order.

Now I'm confused! I was originally gonna order the parts from HK but was under the impression that it wouldn't work right with the version 2 receiver, I thought that was why aliexpress came out with the version 2 BL upgrade kit with the new board/esc.Am I wrong in this, otherwise why did aliexpress first offer two different options?

My F645 finally arrived today. I must say I am hooked on this helicopter! Setting up the remote was easy, and it flew very well- especially since I was at the controls. I had a light breeze to contend with, which is quite difficult when the aileron is set at 65%. I broke the toes off of BOTH skids, but that wasn't so bad. I chickened out and cut throttle to avoid a tree during a gust, and the throttle was set to 50%, so there was no chance of recovery. Oh well, I am still very impressed.
I would like to thank everyone who contributed to this thread. Even though it was my first flight, I had quite a bit of experience to draw from. This thread should be required reading when you purchase this helicopter! |

Congrats kpinnc!
I've been modding my original F45 (as recently posted) but finally broke down and decided to unpackage my backup (V2). I have done hover tests in my basement with both today and I was quite shocked at how much difference the brushless mod makes when actually flying one after the other. That said, the new V2 stock F645 hovered beautifully. The only modifications I did pre-flight were to adjust the TX to Mode 4 (which is really mode 2), increase throttle to 100%, decrease rudder to 75% and increase aileron and elevators to 100%. It has a slight forward tendency at the moment so I will adjust the swash later, but as-is if it's nice tomorrow, it's airtime! |

Mine is a V2 for sure, going by the gyro location anyway. It hovered well, but I had some trouble with drifting to the left- though that may have been nothing more than the light breeze. Since I was a bit nervous with it, I kept it oriented the same way the Tx was facing... I just found a dent in the tail boom. The flybar has some reach in a crash! This thing is QUICK! I can't wait until tomorrow. |

Hey Guys,
After having the F45 for about a week and half I feel I've picked up the controls and movements of the helicopter pretty well. I've been banking turns with no issues and diving and doing circuits a couple of times a day (on lunch, and after work). I'm starting to feel very comfortable with the helicopter and see my self getting bored with it very soon. Aside from becoming comfortable with the heli my other frustration is it's lack of forward movement in wind. Unless I'm going with the wind and coming back down in a dive it will pretty much just hover in place in a not so strong wind if it's going against it. I'm considering returning the heli and putting my money towards a more advanced collective pitch heli which will give me more of a challenge and be able to handle wind better. I bought the f45 as a mid point heli to get me prepared for a 6ch 3d helicopter but now I'm thinking I should have just jumped right into one. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm considering spending up to 300 for a ready to fly kit. Thanks! |

Personally, I plan to get all I can from my F45- through mods if necessary, before I move up to anything else. But, I'm hoping to move to scale helicopters instead of 3D. If there was a larger, more reliable version of the Walkera 4F180- I'd be working my way towards it for scale flying. Too bad that one went away... |

Too Simple
Not a big fan of this one. It's comfortable but really thin and there is no waistband, just a string. Can't imagine actually wearing it in cold weather. Might be okay for casual wear. Had to return this one.

Jil Sander Spring 2013 | Runway
Jil Sander Spring 2013
"Reset to zero," read the notes for Jil Sander's Spring 2013 show, the first womenswear collection shown by the company's founding designer in eight years. Indeed, after last season's emotional Raf Simons send-off following the sudden announcement that Sander would be rejoining her namesake label, there was little doubt that the house was in need of a nice fresh start. And in a way that's exactly what we got — though it didn't come in the form of direction-shifting drama or statement-making change. Instead, Sander offered up a collection that felt comfortingly true and reassuringly restrained, with just enough modernity to provoke a little intrigue. Silhouettes were cut in structured curves that stood elegantly away from the body, while the palette of rich navy, burgundy, and crisp white punctuated by vivid orange felt right in line with fashion's recent penchant for cleverly appointed color. There was plenty to love and it was plenty serene, but mostly it will be interesting to see where it all leads.

Jimmy Korderas talks about His Most Memorable Botched Spot, the finish from this past Monday's Raw, more

Former WWF/E referee and new author Jimmy Korderas joined Kayfabe Wrestling Radio Tuesday Night. In a nearly 30 minute interview, he discussed his recent media tour promoting his book, being noticed by fans as a referee, the confusing finish of the AJ/Natalya match from RAW and referee Mark Harris' Facebook response, one of the biggest mistakes he made as a referee, would he have liked to have social media back when he was a full-time official, being there when Tully Blanchard and Arn Anderson came into the WWE and possibly ushering in of an era, could/would the WWF have run with the Four Horseman stable, who had assigned officials to matches back in the day, SummerSlam being part of the 'Big 4' WWF/E pay-per-views, and much more.
On Mark Harris' response on Facebook to the RAW finish: "Yes, I did watch the match up and I did make a comment on Twitter about it last night; it was more tongue in cheek as I, in my Twitter comments, try to make them light and whatnot. I really don't have a doubt in my mind that the one part in there (Harris' Fabebook response) where he referred to the 'former, unemployed ref' was directed, I think, towards myself but I could be wrong, unless another former ref commented that I didn't see. If he was directing it towards me, contrary to popular opinion, I am employed; I do have a job actually, it's just not refereeing in the WWE. You know what, the social media thing, I think, has gotten out of hand and people are using it for the wrong purposes; in this situation, regardless of whose fault it was, or who the blame was put on for what was obviously a messed up finish to that match, sometimes you just got to suck it up and say 'Hey, chalk it up to experience' and learn and move on.
One of the biggest things you have to do in this business, especially from a referee standpoint, is be able to take criticism and know not everyone is going to like you. it's just the way it is. And if you can't take constructive criticism or a little playful ribbing or anything like that and you have to lash out on social media, maybe this business isn't for you."
If he ever had a memorable botched spot as an official: "Which time? I mean, we're all human; we all make mistakes. It's unavoidable, especially when you are working I don't know how many hundreds of matches a year, there's going to be a mess up here and there; it's just inevitable. WHat you have to do, like I said, is learn from your mistakes, suck it up and move on. That being said, I remember many years ago there was a match between Lex Lugar and Crush (Brian Adams). The spot was I was taking a bump, I was supposed to be taking a bump in that match and it was basically very simple: Brian had Lugar in a headlock, Lugar shoots him off and Brian runs me over, essentially there's the ref bump. I just had a brain cramp for some reason and I decided just as Lugar pushed Brian off, I stepped out of the way, kind of like a matador would with a bull. They both stopped and went like 'WHat the hell just happened here?' And I'm thinking to myself 'Ooh, i supposed to be standing there taking a bump.' And when I got to the back, I heard it; I got an earful but you work. Going forward I said to myself I'm going to make sure I keep my head above me and if it ever happens again you've got to think on your feet and not look like a deer in the headlights, which is basically what happened last night."
The botched finish of RAW with Natalya and AJ Lee: "Going back to last night's situation, it wasn't that the mix-up happened, it was the reaction that occurred from it. If he was decisive in his call, regardless of what he called, that would be fine. But he looked confused and that's what amplified the situation. I know Natalya let go of the Sharpshooter too early or AJ tapped a little late; I don't know what you want to call it, but t the same time when Mark motioned for the bell, for some reason the bell didn't ring obviously. I can't speak as to why it didn't ring but everybody looked really confused and there could have been an easy way out of it by either emphatically calling for the bell or motioning 'No, this match continues', but there was no motioning or reaction whatsoever so that led to more confusion; plus it doesn't help when you've got two guys on commentary who you know are going to rip into you.

Sanctions aren't always the answer: Robert Mugabe is using them to his advantage
Sanctions on Zimbabwe have become more of a helpful tool for Mugabe and his ZANU-PF party than a hindrance. And if this once-bountiful country is to turn a corner, the West should seriously consider suspending them.
Johannesburg, South Africa
The removal of the Labour Party from power in the United Kingdom last month has opened the best opportunity in a decade to repair Britain's relationship with Zimbabwe. But Britain has to act fast.
Zimbabwe – once one of the most beautiful and bountiful lands in Africa – all but collapsed in the 2000s under the brutally repressive regime of President Robert Mugabe. People lived in fear in a country where they once enjoyed political freedoms and decent public services and jobs. Thousands died of malnutrition and starvation. It was nearly another Darfur or Rwanda.
Today Zimbabwe is more stable than at any time since the 1990s. It is not yet out of the woods, far from it. But now may be the time for bold moves by the international community to help consolidate this progress and, hopefully, a final democratic transition.
The most constructive role Britain, the former colonial power, could play would be to encourage other major donors to Zimbabwe – namely the US, Canada, and leading European countries – to help lift sanctions against the country. Such a step would go a long way to repairing the icy relationship between Zimbabwe and Britain.

23 And I will put it into the hand of your cruel masters, and of those whose yoke has been hard on you; who have said to your soul, Down on your face! so that we may go over you: and you have given your backs like the earth, even like the street, for them to go over. | 23 I will put it into the hands of your tormentors, who said to you, 'Fall prostrate that we may walk over you.' And you made your back like the ground, like a street to be walked over." |

I recently purchased a coat from Barbour and has been a fantastic buy for me. I however ripped one of my poppers off and was lost forever.
I decided to email Barbour customer service team and i spoke to Karen who was fantastic. She resolved my issue, sent me a replacement the next day and all is sorted.
Its not that often you get great customer service like this so thought i would share my experience.
Good on ya
