Getting there & away
If you're Europe-based, it's easy to travel to Poland by bus, train or boat. Of course it may be a long journey, but there's nothing like a trip across the continent. If air travel is your only option, or you simply can't face sitting in a bus or train for a day, consider offsetting your carbon emissions (the respected www.climatecare.org can organise this for you).
Travel documents
Theoretically, the expiry date of your passport should not be less than three months after the date of your departure from Poland.
Fierce competition on most European routes has resulted in price wars between no-frills carriers and full-service airlines. Discounted web fares offer the best deals, and one-way tickets make it easy to fly into one city and out of another. Note that if you're booking on short notice (that is, less than around three or four weeks before departure), national carriers often offer better prices than the budget airlines.
On transatlantic and long-haul flights your travel agent is probably still the best source of cheap tickets, although there is an increasing number of online booking agencies. Be sure to check the terms and conditions of the cheapest fares before booking.
Poland has regular car-ferry services plying the routes from Denmark and Sweden to Gdańsk and Świnoujście on the coast of Poland. The fares quoted here are for a foot passenger throughout the year.
Polferries (www.polferries.pl) From Copenhagen to Świnoujście (410kr to 450kr, 10 hours, five times a week in summer).
Polferries (www.polferries.pl) Operates the Ystad–Świnoujście (490kr to 540kr, seven hours, daily), Nynäshamn–Gdańsk (560kr to 670kr, 18 hours, daily) and Rønne–Świnoujście (250kr, 5¼ hours, Saturday only) routes.
Stena Line (www.stenaline.com) From Karlskrona to Gdynia (from Skr290, 11 hours, daily).
Unity Line (www.unityline.pl) From Ystad to Świnoujście (Skr470 to Skr790, seven to nine hours, daily).
Border crossings
Sitting in the middle of Europe and sharing its borders with seven countries, Poland has plenty of rail and road crossings. Border crossings are more numerous with Germany to the west, and the Czech and Slovak republics to the south, than they are with the Ukraine, Belarus, Lithuania and Russia to the east and northeast.
Remember that Poland's eastern border is now one of the external borders of the EU. If you're travelling overland to Russia, be aware that you may need a Belarusian transit visa, which must be obtained in advance.
The following is a list of 24-hour border crossings for heading east out of Poland by road:
Belarusian border (south to north) : Terespol, Kuźnica Białostocka
Lithuanian border (east to west) : Ogrodniki, Budzisko
Russian border (east to west) : Bezledy, Gronowo
Ukrainian border (south to north) : Medyka, Hrebenne, Dorohusk
Eurolines Polska (www.eurolinespolska.pl) has daily buses to Warsaw from Minsk (85zł, 12 hours) in Belarus and Vilnius (125zł, 12 hours) in Lithuania. Polish State Railways also operate an overnight bus between Warsaw and Vilnius (€22, 10 hours).
Warsaw has direct trains to Kyiv (from €47, 15 hours) in the Ukraine and Minsk (from €36, 10 hours) in Belarus. These trains are sleeper only, and you'll be automatically sold a sleeping berth when buying your ticket.
The fastest option from Warsaw to Vilnius (€21, 9½ hours) in Lithuania travels through Suwałki and requires a change in Šeštokai across the border. It's a good option as there is no need to arrange a transit visa for Belarus.
Travel to Russia, however, requires a Belarusian transit visa. Without one you'll be sent back to Warsaw by Belarusian border guards. One direct train daily over summer travels between Warsaw and St Petersburg (from €69, 30 hours), while three daily head year-round for Moscow (from €62, 20 hours); both are sleeper trains and pass through Minsk.
Eurolines-Sodeli CZ (245 005 245; www.eurolines.cz; Senovážné nám 6, Nové Město, Prague) runs buses from Prague to Warsaw (125zł, 14 hours) via Wrocław (110zł, five hours).
There are daily express trains from Prague to Warsaw (€56, 9½ hours) via Katowice, and to Kraków (€45, 8½ hours).
Eurolines (08705 808080; www.eurolines.co.uk) runs buses from London to Warsaw (one way UK£62, 26½ hours) via Poznań and Łódź, and to Kraków (UK£62, 26¾ hours) via Wrocław and Katowice. The frequency of the service varies depending on the season: it's as often as daily in summer and slows down to twice weekly the rest of the year. Tickets can be bought from any National Express office and a number of travel agencies.
You can travel from London to Warsaw via the Channel Tunnel, with a single change of train at Brussels (20 hours). The normal 2nd-class, one-way fare is around €170.
A number of German cities are linked by train (direct or indirect) with major Polish cities. Direct connections with Warsaw include Berlin, Cologne, Dresden and Leipzig. There are also direct trains between Berlin and Kraków (via Wrocław; €50, 9½ hours).
The Warsaw–Berlin route (via Frankfurt/Oder and Poznań; €39, six to 8½ hours) is serviced by five trains a day.
There are no direct trains from Brussels (Bruxelles-Nord) to Warsaw (from €91, 14½ hours); the quickest route is via Cologne. From Paris to Warsaw (€160, 16½ hours), a change is required in Cologne and Brussels.
Airports & airlines
The vast majority of international flights to Poland arrive at Warsaw-Frédéric Chopin Airport (Port Lotniczy im F Chopina, WAW; 022 650 4220; www.lotnisko-chopina.pl), although there is an increasing number of international carriers choosing to land at the country's other international airports:
Gdańsk – Lech Wałęsa (GDN; 058 348 1154; www.airport.gdansk.pl)
Katowice (KTW; 032 392 7385; www.gtl.com.pl)

Wrocław (WRO; 071 358 1381; www.airport.wroclaw.pl)
Poland's national carrier LOT (LO; 0801 703 703, from mobile phones 022 9572; www.lot.com) flies to all major European capitals as well as most major cities in Germany. Outside Europe it has direct flights to/from Chicago, Istanbul, New York, Tel Aviv and Toronto. Competition is currently fierce in the Polish market, with a wave of budget airlines, including CentralWings, EasyJet, GermanWings, SkyEurope, Ryanair and Wizz Air, moving in and offering cheap flights to not only Warsaw but also Wrocław, Kraków, Gdańsk, Poznań, Bydgoszcz, Katowice, Łódź, Szczecin and Rzeszów.
Fares vary greatly depending on what route you're flying and what time of year it is. Poland's high season (and that of Europe in general) is in summer (June to August) and a short period around Christmas. The rest of the year is quieter and cheaper.

There are no direct scheduled flights between Australia and Poland; generally it's cheapest to fly into London, Frankfurt or Amsterdam and continue to Warsaw from there. Round-the-world (RTW) tickets are another good bet and are often better value than standard return fares. There are a number of well-known travel agencies in Australia; STA Travel (1300 733 035; www.statravel.com.au) and Flight Centre (133 133; www.flightcentre.com.au) have offices throughout the country.

Best out there!
You are a refined man, you don't go for the huge goggles, the baggy pants, the jacket 4 sizes to big for you. You're looking for some goggles that look respectable, a face fitting goggle that isn't going to cover your nose and mouth as well. You happen to come upon Dogfunk and end up on this page. You look at the classic whites with the mirror lens and you fall in love. You divorce your wife, buy these goggles, match them with your slim fitting gear and you hit the slopes. You're on the lift with two "Bag Heads", they see your goggles and realize their mistake on buying Oakleys. They whip out their iPhones and snag a pair from Dogfunk. You may not have changed the world, but you got a sick pair of goggles and helped a couple of guys learn from their mistakes.

B's tradeThomas toIslandersBy IRA PODELL
The Associated Press | February 08,2013NEW YORK — Veteran goalie Tim Thomas, who has said he won't play this season, was traded by the Boston Bruins to the New York Islanders on Thursday for a conditional second-round draft choice either next year or in 2015.
Thomas chose to take this season off following the NHL lockout and was suspended by the Bruins after he didn't report to training camp last month. The 38-year-old goalie is in the final season of a four-year deal that counts for $5 million against the salary cap.
The Islanders have plenty of room to fit Thomas' salary on their cap, and this deal provides financial flexibility for the Bruins. Boston was up against the upper salary limit of $70.2 million, with Thomas' salary factored in, and New York is only marginally above the minimum payroll.
NHL teams must be in full compliance of the salary cap by Friday, the 20th day of the league season.
Thomas is unlikely to play for the Islanders this season or in the future. The draft pick conditions are expected to center around whether or not he suits up for New York.
"We have acquired an asset for our organization," Islanders general manager Garth Snow said Thursday night. "This acquisition allows us flexibility with our roster moving forward."
Thomas, a two-time Vezina Trophy winner as the NHL's top goalie, has played in 378 regular-season games — all with the Bruins. He has gone 196-121-45 with a 2.48 goals-against average and 31 shutouts. Thomas ranks fourth on Boston's career wins list and third in shutouts,
He also has a 29-21 mark in the postseason with a 2.07 GAA and six shutouts. Thomas won the Vezina and Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP when the Bruins won the Stanley Cup in 2011.MORE IN Wire SportsVILLANOVA, Pa.

We are building a 360 sf kitchen/dining room addition to our home. We also dug out a 360 sf basement addition (and cut a hole in the existing basement). For various reasons we cannot use our current furnace to heat the addition (due to awkward duct-work and maxing out the furnace's capabilities).
Option 1 - We can install a Boiler (such as a Laars 84% JVH), with radiant floor heat in the main level and baseboard heat in the basement. Option 2 - We've also been told that we can tie the radiant floor and baseboards into a water heater. Supposedly, the 350sf upstairs only requires 6,000-10,000 BTU's, and the basement won't require much heat because it's all below grade. Therefore the boiler in Option 1 is WAY more powerful than needed, and a water heater can easily handle this load. Does this sound reasonable? This option is obviously cheaper. If a water heater is the way to go, I've got several questions: A. What is the most energy efficient option?
At this point putting radiant heat in the entire house is not an option, only in the new square footage. Either way, my husband will be doing the work himself (but don't let that scare you; he's very skilled, not your "average DIYer") Thank you so very much!
Follow-Up Postings:
Check out electric boilers. They are made for heating and available in all sizes. |
- Posted by peace_rose (My Page) on Wed, Jan 20, 10 at 20:23
But isn't electric heat the most expensive to operate over the long haul? |
its not advised to use the same water for mixing domestic and space heat. the tankless is a good way to heat up the floor and baseboard for the basement. it will only fire up for the temperature rise that you have it set for. I do have one queation. Why don't you make the new basement that you dug out radiant also...........? If you want you can put a heat exchanger on the water heater and use it for both domestic and spasce heat. |
- Posted by peace_rose (My Page) on Thu, Jan 21, 10 at 2:12
Thanks wisehvac! Will take note that it's not preferable to use the same tank. Good question! The concrete floor has already been poured. Is it even possible to install RFH on TOP of the concrete? Ceiling clearance is an issue, too; right now we're at 7'4". (Any deeper would have required that we lower/replace the sewer line all the way to the alley, which would have meant lots more $$$). So is it possible to still install the RFH over cement and not lose too much height? |
I only mentioned electric boilers because you wanted to use a hot water heater. Electric boilers are 100% efficient, don't maintain any temperature when not in use, don't require cleaning or a chimney, and will probably last your lifetime. |
We have this, but to clarify how it works is that the boiler heats two different "coils". One runs through the radiant floor/baseboard radiators. The other runs on a pipe through a water tank which heats the water in the tank. So you have a closed loop of water going through the boiler which radiates the heat either into radiators or into fresh water supply in your water tank ("indirect heating"). We're pleased with our system generally. It provides loads of hot water in part because the boiler water is ~170 degrees and that means we can keep the tank at a higher temperature and then mix it down to 120 for use. In effect that means that the tank is effectively 50% larger or so. Also, a boiler has loads more power (BTUh) than a gas water heater, so you get much faster "recovery" (i.e. reheating) than with a usual water heater. A couple of drawbacks--it seems less efficient in summer (no surprise) than a standard water heater because you're running a huge boiler just to keep the water hot. On the other hand, in the winter it stands to reason that it's cheaper (no way to test actuals because this was a new system in a new (to us) house). The other is that it means you're relying entirely on your boiler. If that goes out, then no hot water (of course, same can be said if your hot water goes out). The cost was probably higher, because of additional piping, but I think that you recover that in lifespan since there's no burner on the tank itself, and boilers tend to last a lot longer than water heaters. |
An electric boiler maintains no heat, so it's zero cost in the summer. A properly maintained quality boiler can last a lifetime, so in the long run, I would skip the hot water heater option and use something that is meant to heat. |

Wow, this is all so helpful! Still wondering if it's possible to install radiant floor tubes on top of concrete that's already been poured. |
Can't you install some sleepers on the concrete that will raise the floor about 4 inches (2x4 on edge plus subflooring)? |

Yes, you can install pex in a device made for pex over top of concrete, any time you want. Then cover with ceramic tile. It raises the floor about 3/4" |
Here is what I would do if I was you. You don't need that many btu's to heat up them two rooms. Plus you want to get hot water also. haved a certified takagi tankless water rep. come to your home. ( this will be free ) tell him you want a tk-3 pro. ( better heat exchange in the unit itself) it can fire up to 199,000 btu's and down to 11,000 btus. then you want to use a bronze bump with a heat exchanger on one side, plus boiler trim. (1/6 horse power. with a mixing valve for your domestic water. you want to then put two zones on other sided of a heat exchanger with a zone board for 2 zones with 2 pumps one for the baseboard. Ask for high trim baseboard so you can set the water temp down and get max btu's per lininer foot. set the temp for 150 degress durring the winter cold month. Now for the radiant floor get a viega dealer in ur neighborhood. get climate panels that you can put cement nails in and the put a flooring on top. If you wanted to know more about this rout just leave a post. you can have all 3 comming off one unit. The best thing about this type of set up is that you dont need 180 degree water like a boiler. and in summer time you can set the water temp down to 120 or 115. and when your away on vacation you use no gas. The down side is hat the climate panels can be expensive, the tankless water heater has to have a nice size gas line. the equipment to do this job can get pricy. I mean really pricey. with nice equipment comes a good price. Takagi & viega are my brand of choice. but you could use navian and wirlsboro if you wish. all 4 manufactors will be happy to come to your home and sit dowwn and talk to you. ( I sell all four) |

Thank you sooo much! I feel so much better about this now. I know this is do-able, and that it will be in our budget. There's been a big learning curve about this topic for me and I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. |

Guys, it was Red Post confirmed, Jarvan can't marry Lux because of the Bro Code.
http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/...23139#11023139 Runaan Confirmed.
Dirge Farum
Hmm, see, this is where the Lore Department would come in handy, giving us more insight into how these characters interact outside the League. Though, any chance for a cute skin with Shyvana in a dress looking totally ready to burst into a giant dragon is a win in my books, I do know they spent a lot of time together and Jarvan was the first person to really respect her and not treat her like a monster, but we're not even sure how Demacia's heirarchy works.
NEW CHAMPION: Demacian dragon prince baby Ult He screams demacia terraforming and turning into a dragon, NO ESCAPE
Argueing over Demacian and Noxian things is useless. The Void will consume them both equally. Feed the Void!
Vayne isn't even royalty. Lux it is.
Kaelath The Red
Seeing as Shyvana's mother is Demacian and her father is a Dragon I don't see any real problem with him marrying her.

i suggest you be a little more specific on your ASK posts to make things clearer for other members. if you mention that you too are into t-shirts (or intend to start a similar venture) and therefore want to connect with someone from bewakoof.com perhaps that would help you better.
i googled the founders - they aren't rodinhooders.
The Founders
Bewakoof.com is co-founded by Siddharth Munot & Prabhkiran Singh (Both IIT Bombay Alumni of the batch of 2011). They are self-motivated and passionate entrepreneurs having prior start-up experience with their respective ventures which they set up while they were in IIT campus.
Prabhkiran Singh founded a chain of 2 freshly-prepared-flavoured lassi selling outlets by the name of Khadke Glassi, which featured in The Times of India and National News Channel ENews24.
Siddharth Munot, having 2 years of teaching experience with IITian's Pace Academy, headed a social cause 'Speak Up India' whose initiative 'Poorani Jeans aur Tshirt' featured in The Times of India.
Don't know them personally, but have interacted with one of the guys there (Siddharth). Do you want an introduction / email id?
any contact if possible that could help!!thank yuu. i just want to share a thought don't know that going to click or not.
I know Siddharth !! Anything needed ??
sorry to reply s
don't know why my rest of reply not there, actually i am just starting up with clothing line, starting with t-shirts at first leg. as the their target audience is different from mine, so need to have chat in related concern that if my products could be available for sale from their site along with my companies site and other selling options i have engaged till now. this could help them to add product range which they are not targeting, and even can give boost to my work too. i just believe in healthy collaboration in such competitive market. so ashish sir if this whole thing clicks to you tan please pass the message and make me know.
link to my fb page is https://www.facebook.com/pages/F-H-Clothing/339369952846953?ref=hl to have idea of range of products.
1. Registration is a click away - via Facebook etc

Savory Meat Roll
- For the pesto:
- 1 small bunch fresh basil (about 2 cups packed)
- 1/2 cup cashews
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1/2 cup grated Asiago
- Fresh lemon juice, to taste
- Salt
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- For the filling:
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 3 pounds country sausage
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella
- 2 cups grated Asiago
- For the topping:
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 red pepper, diced
- 1 green pepper, diced
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 2 teaspoons granulated garlic
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 6 Roma tomatoes, diced
- 10 button mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella
- 1 cup grated Asiago
- For the biscuit:
- 5 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for surface and kneading
- 3 tablespoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 stick cold butter, cubed
- 2 cups milk
- 1 stick butter, softened
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
To make the pesto: Place all the ingredients in a food processor and process until mixture turns into a smooth paste. Set aside.
To make the filling: In a saute pan over medium heat, add oil and then the sausage. Saute the sausage, breaking it up with a spoon, until it cooks through and it turns golden brown. Cool slightly and drain the fat. Set sausage aside in a bowl. Keep mozzarella and Asiago cheese on standby.
To make the topping: Heat a large saute pan with oil, add the peppers, onion, granulated garlic and Italian seasoning. Cook until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and mushrooms and cook another 5 minutes. Don't overcook the tomatoes. They should retain their shape. Set aside.
To make the biscuit dough: In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder and salt. Add the butter and with your fingertips or with a pastry blender blend together until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in milk, using a fork, until the dough comes together. Sprinkle flour on a clean work surface, remove the dough from the bowl and knead several times on the floured surface. Add small amounts of flour, as needed, so that dough will be easy to roll out. Roll the dough out to roughly 15-inches in diameter.
To assemble: Sprinkle the top of the dough evenly with the sausage and top with the mozzarella and Asiago. Roll the dough into a log. Cut the ends off to create even edges then cut the log into 7 or 8 pieces, depending on the length of the roll. Place slices on a baking sheet and press the tops down. Put the ends on the baking sheet and press those tops down. Bake 20 to 30 minutes until biscuits turn golden. Transfer the rolls to a serving platter. Serve topped with the sauteed vegetables and sprinkled with remaining cheese.

remind you to spread the pesto out on the dough before putting the sausage on. I am glad i remembered from watching the show. Loved it Loved, it thanks so much
I did notice the errors in the recipe like mentioned, however since I saw the show, I remembered to put the pesto on the roll before the sausage, etc. One note - I think it calls for too much milk in the biscuit recipe. I needed to add a lot more flour to get a dough consistency. And I did not spread the dough with butter since the pesto and dough have plenty of fat.
We are vegans, so I veganized it by using Gimmie Lean "sausage", Follow Your Heart "mozzarella cheese", omitted the cheese in the pesto, used Earth Balance non-hydrogenated margarine and Silk soymilk. I did the topping with red and yellow bell peppers (we loathe green ones), crimini mushrooms and everything else. I would however next time not add the Italian seasoning until the very end because it seemed overcooked and lost it's flavor. (So I just added more at the end.)
I made the pesto the night before and had wished I chopped the veggies then, too. You can prep all the ingredients and make the next day to save time.
All in all, it is a great recipe and one I will definitely be making again!! I think I will add some chopped Smart Bacon next time I make it.
1. After rolling out the dough, spread it with a lot of butter!
2. Then, put your Pesto on top, THEN the sausage!
This is not the FIRST time a recipe is not listed correctly on the Food Network!!!
PLEASE.....sometimes our safety is at risk!!
Dawn - Littleton, CO
Come on Food Network you have to fix this problem. Too many of the recipes have mistakes in them. If you did not see the show you end up screwing the whole thing up.
I made an addition to the dish. I serve one or two eggs over easy/medium on top of the roll, and then topped with the sauteed vegetables.
Thank you Sarah for the recipe!!!!

I have practiced medicine for 30 years. I watched as the cost of care tripled and was helpless when even my insured patients could not get the treatment they needed. In 2010, Congress passed the Affordable Care Act, a reform bill based on plans from the conservative Heritage Foundation and similar to Romney's Massachusetts health care plan. Now known as Obamacare, it makes health care more affordable and protects us from some of the worst abuses of insurance companies and hospital corporations. Obamacare is already working and we cannot afford to lose it.
Unfortunately, Outside PACs are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on misleading television ads about Obamacare. Those ads misrepresent Obamacare, and as a doctor I want to set the record straight.
How is Obamacare helping me right now? Obamacare already forces insurance companies to pay for the care they promised to provide when they sold you the insurance. My own patients have had trouble getting insurance companies to cover chronic conditions. Under Obamacare, insurance companies can't refuse to pay for old, "pre-existing" or chronic medical problems. They can't refuse to pay for expensive cancer treatments. Obamacare already protects at least 43,000 Alaskans from losing their insurance.
Why do I need the new health insurance exchanges? Large employers get discounts from the insurance companies. Small employers and individuals, who do not, could not afford health insurance before now. The exchanges are large groups that can negotiate the same discounts enjoyed by big employers. The exchanges, which do not make profits, will pass the savings to you.
Obamacare insures that young people can stay on their parents' coverage until age 26. Even young people need a lot of expensive care. A 20-year-old mother can spend tens of thousands on prenatal care and delivery. A 20-year-old injured in car crash may need half a million dollars of care or more. If that young person does not buy insurance, taxpayers and people with insurance will pay for his or her care. Young people with children also need a lot of care for their kids. If young parents choose not to buy insurance, taxpayers like you will pay for someone else's kids.
Medicine is a complex industry. It employs more people than any other business. With an estimated 1 million pages of laws and regulations, the current system is unbelievably complicated and difficult to navigate. Obamacare simplifies the system for consumers by offering a one-stop shop where people can compare and buy discounted insurance plans.
Obamacare will protect jobs. If we change nothing, we won't be able to afford to pay the millions of people now working in health care: the doctors, nurses, therapists, aides, technicians, housekeepers, maintenance crews and others.
Why do doctors make so much money? Because they can. The new system will help control doctors' salaries to keep health care affordable.
Why do some people want to defund Obamacare? A lot of people make a lot of money from the current system. Some insurance companies have a profit of up to 35 percent and Obamacare will decrease that to only 20 percent. Drug companies make huge profits, charging up to $90,000 for a single dose of some cancer drugs. Obamacare will eventually limit those charges. Some subspecialty doctors make up to $5 million a year and Obamacare will correct that. This year, the few who make so much money will spend hundreds of millions of dollars to fight Obamacare. One special interest group, Americans for Prosperity, is spending $180,000 just on television ads in Alaska.
I have worked in Britain and now work with Canadian doctors. The overwhelming number of Canadians and Europeans love the security and access to care that they get. They now live longer than we do and, by all measures, receive better care at much lower costs. A lot of the information in the television ads regarding Canadian and European systems is just wrong.
Don't believe the baloney that rich insurance companies and hospital systems are feeding you. To maintain affordable access to doctors and hospitals, we need Obamacare.

Shot on location at the royal botanic gardens in Sydney, Australia, the Camilla SS13/14 Pachamama ad campaign is incredibly exotic. Although the plant life plays a large part, the fashion has an even bigger role. Full of vibrant colors, busy prints and loose silhouettes, the designs are fit for a tribal queen.
The Camilla SS13/14 Pachamama ad campaign was inspired by the goddess it was named after, who is worshiped by the indigenous tribes of the Andes. Model Holly Rose Emery could easily be mistaken for a divine deity in her visually striking wardrobe. Posing in front of photographer Justin Ridler's lens, the blonde beauty is clad in delicate cottons, silk and leather that are given a modern touch by way of some psychedelic patterns. It is certainly a worldly collection.

What have you accomplished, I guess? What have I accomplished? What has anyone ever accomplished. Don Gorske has eaten 25,000 Big Macs and at least, when he is about to die which should reasonably be very soon but I guess might not actually be, and someone asks him what he has ever done, he will know exactly what to say: "I know the exact number of Big Macs I have eaten and I can tell you for a fact that it is over 25,000."
So, congratulations on keeping perfect account of your Big Mac consumption, Don Gorske, and we hope you don't stop keeping track now just because you've reached 25,000. Your job is not finished! Please eat all the rest of the Big Macs. (via TheDailyWhat.)

The Lockheed P-3 Orion, a long-range subhunter. This one kept tabs on the Russians for 18 years. It detected submarines by using a Magnetic Anomaly Detector in it's tailboom. This was able to discern the difference between the earth's natural magnietic field and those produced by artificial objects...like submarines.
The following comments on the pictures come from Old NFO, a former P-3 guy and a pretty good shooter. I defer to his expertise so he can narrate this part of the tour.
This is a P-3B (Mod) formerly flown by VP-93 a reserve squadron out of Glenview, Il.This is a picture of the sono-package, with a buoy sticking in a load position. The package actually lowered through the bottom of the airplane to drop buoys. Airplane carried 84 buoys, 8 torps/mines/bombs in the Bombay, and had 6 wing stations for various things, including a 2.5M watt searchlight!
Sensor Stations 1 and 2 (know as Jezebel or Jez) SS2 is on the left, has an original AQA-7 in it. SS1 on the right is an AQA-7 (3V) with an original set of plasma panels (I actually wrote the NATOPS for that system). Above each station is a small green screen for ALI presentation and active display. Above that are the black rectangles which are the sonobuoy receivers (31 channels) for monitoring the buoys dropped.
You have part of the TACCO (Tactical Coordinator Station) and NAV (Navigator) stations in this one. The left side is the TACCO station, with the round scope. That is his display. Above that are the weapons panel, the sono launcher panel (on the right), and next to it, under the helmets, is the NAV Station DRT (Dead Reckoning Tracer), next to that is a Bubble Sextant, Above that is a recorder for the IRDS system/ You can just see the corner of the old Doppler Nav system.
This is the SS3 or Radar/MAD/ECM position. In the lower left are the ALD-2 and ULA-2 ESM pair, above that is the IRDS screen, the paper trace is the MAD system (with one hellva MAD showing), to the right of that is the radar scope, above the scope are the radar controls.
This is the COMM station, with a very nice comm suite for the Teletype, we had a plain old TTY unit that usually broke at least once a flight… The right panel is the ICS control and crypto line up and two HF radio heads.
And, the cockhouse… With steam gauges J The "scope" is, in fact, a flight director for buoys and other things, there is no radar display in the cockpit.
Before there was the P-3, the Grumman US-2A Tracker performed the role of sub hunter/killer. Selfridge has one, S/N #144721.
Unlike the P-3, the S-2 coulf fly off of aircraft carriers. This shot shows the arresting hook needed to land aboard a carrier.
Here they are together. Don't they make a formidable pair? Now you know why the Canadian sub force stays out of Lake St. Clair.

VP93 flew out of NAF Detroit not Glenview. US2A was a transport for Stations and Carriers. Not an ASW bird. ASW birds were S2F, and S2E this one although an US2A is Painted in VS73 'colors'. VS73 flew out of NAF Detroit as well.

Murray Fights Past Simon; Ferrer's Acapulco Campaign Cut Short
Acapulco, Mexico
by ATP Staff
Second seed Andy Murray came back from the brink to defeat sixth-seeded Frenchman Gilles Simon 1-6, 7-6(4), 6-2 on Thursday at the Abierto Mexicano Telcel, reaching his first semi-final since undergoing back surgery last September.
Murray fell behind 2-4 and 3-5 in the second set, but recovered the breaks in the following games. In the third set, he rolled out to a 3-0 lead and broke Simon at love in the final game, finishing the match at 5 for 5 on his break point chances.
Simon had been attempting to snap an 11-match losing streak against the 26-year-old Scot. His lone victory against Murray came seven years ago, in their first FedEx ATP Head2Head meeting.
Murray will look to reach his first final since winning the Wimbledon title when he faces fourth seed Grigor Dimitrov, whom he has defeated in their three previous encounters.
Watch Thursday's Highlights
The 22-year-old Dimitrov defeated seventh seed and last week's Marseille champion Ernests Gulbis 4-6, 7-6(2), 7-5 in a late-night battle that concluded after two hours and 39 minutes - exactly five minutes longer than Murray's match.
David Ferrer's bid to reach a fifth straight final at the Abierto Mexicano Telcel came to an end when he retired with a left adductor strain in his quarter-final match against fifth seed Kevin Anderson. Ferrer had won the opening set 6-2, before falling behind 2-4 in the second set.
The three-time champion was looking to record his 25th match win in Acapulco and set a rematch with Ukraine's Alexandr Dolgopolov, whom he had lost to in the Rio Open semi-finals last week. Anderson reached the Delray Beach final last week (l. to Cilic).
Watch Anderson Interview | Watch Dolgopolov Interview
Earlier Thursday, Dolgopolov advanced to back-to-back semi-finals for the first time since July 2012 as he withstood 18 aces to defeat Ivo Karlovic 6-4, 7-6(4).

Top Seeds Kubot/Lindstedt Upset
Top seeds and reigning Australian Open champions Lukasz Kubot and Robert Lindstedt fell in their quarter-final match against Feliciano Lopez and Max Mirnyi 6-3, 6-4. Lopez and Mirnyi next play third seeds Treat Huey and Dominic Inglot, who edged Jarkko Nieminen and Edouard Roger-Vasselin 7-6(5), 7-6(4).
Australian Open finalists Eric Butorac and Raven Klaasen, the No. 4 seeds, were also upset, losing to Anderson and Matthew Ebden 7-6(5), 3-6, 13-11. Meanwhile, the Mexican wild card duo of Cesar Ramirez and Miguel Angel Reyes-Varela reached the semi-finals as they prevailed against Mexican Santiago Gonzalez and American Scott Lipsky 1-6, 6-3, 10-8.

I might be okay with one that just had an opening for the eyes, which was covered with goggles. That looks okay. But I don't think I could bring myself to wear the three hole kind.

Robert Barisford "Bobby" Brown (born February 5, 1969) is an American R&B singer-songwriter, occasional rapper and dancer.
Brown started his career as one of the frontmen of the R&B/pop group New Edition, from its inception as The Bricks in 1982 until his forced exit from the group in 1986 following a period of misbehavior on his part. Starting a solo career, he became a hit success with his second album in 1988, Don't Be Cruel, which spawned a number of hit singles including the co-self penned "My Prerogative", which became his signature hit. Brown had a string of top ten hits on various Billboard charts between 1986 and 1993 and is a recipient of a Grammy Award. Brown is noted as a pioneer of new jack swing, a fusion of R&B and hip hop. Brown has also won American Music Awards and Soul Train Awards.
Brown was most noted in recent years as the ex-husband of late pop singer Whitney Houston. Brown and Houston later gained notoriety co-starring in the reality show Being Bobby Brown. He has a daughter named Bobbi Kristina Houston Brown with her.

Laibar Singh Safe in Sanctuary
As people have likely heard by now, Mr. Laibar Singh was not deported on yesterday December 9th at 4:30 am and remains in sanctuary in Guru Nanak Sikh Temple in Surrey. The last minute notice of the deportation and the removal time of 4:30 am was a deliberate and under-handed attempt to thwart public outcry and support. At 4:00 am, approximately 300 supporters gathered to protest and bear witness to CBSA's enforcement of a deportation in violation of sanctuary. In light of a major backlash for violating sanctuary and in the presence of hundreds of supporters, CBSA backed off from the deportation.

Nice place.Highly recommended.Good pricing.Cheerful staff.Comfortable place for female clientele as well as men.
I also saw 6 litre kitty litter Breeder's choice for 3 times the price as at Woolworths.Little dogs piddle everywhere in those glass cages.Nice girls work there though-friendly.They do re-home adult cats for not so much money so they do do some good.Science hills vet products are a normal price and the flea treatments.Good collection of birds at reasonable prices.The shop is clean and in a convenient location.
Yes -good prices.Reasonable.I go there over Westfields too. Pet shops should not sell animals in my opinion.Terrifying for the animals being sold.Large numbers of people gawking at them.This shop is more basic but better service and pricing.

Great stuff. It increases the pigmentation of the eyeshadows. My eyeshadows don't budge at all for the whole entire day even though I have a pretty deep crease! You just need a really thin coat of this because if you place too much, it'll be hard to blend the eye shadow. Got a really good deal for two of these in a set at the duty free shop.. I've been using my first bottle for the longest time.. so I'm not disappointed in the price at all. The product is fabulous.. although alot of people complained about not getting the whole product out of it.. I haven't gotten near the end at all yet.. so it's going to be a while before i saw this bad boy down. All in all.. i love the product!
Okay, so you're reading these reviews wondering if this product works. YES, it works! Just buy it. Your eyeshadow will look great.
BUT BUYERS BEWARE: THE PACKAGING WASTES SO MUCH PRODUCT. As a budget-based student who didn't want to shell out $20 for a new fricking primer, I thought "hey, I wonder how much is still left if I opened it up". And OH MY GOD---one pair of pliers and a long toothpick later, I filled up 1 and a 1/2 EDM sample jars. Okay, now, one EDM sample jars for the *entire face* if used daily lasts a week and a half. I'm only using this on my eyelids. I think I just got an extra 4-6 months of Primer Potion. And to think I was going to throw it out! I wonder if UD knows how much product is wasted. Probably. Because honestly, if you don't "salvage" the extra stuff left with some pliers, this will last you four months (it did for me). That's what, $60 a year to prime my eyelids? Nooo thanks. I need to buy a house one day.
I have a huge problem with eyeshadow (even good eyeshadow) creasing. This solved that problem like magic. Bottom line: it works. Worth the money.
I use the eye primer potion almost every day. I have oily eyelids and have tried numerous products in order to get the shadow to stop creasing or running off - this product is the only one that has been able to stop the creasing and makes my eyeshadow last all day. I wore it the day of my wedding and I didn't have to worry about touch ups. For anyone who has oily eyelids I highly recommend this product
this primer suits me better than the too faced shadow insurance.. i like how my e/s stays on longer with no crease and smudges! this product is amaaaaazing :) what i dont like about it is the applicator/container.. i prefer the too faced squeeze tube though ><
I prefer Too Faced shadow insurance over this, because i tried udpp a couple times to get me to like it but it aint happening. everytime i apply it on my lids and then let it dry and apply my shadows they always turn out matte looking, chalky or ugly looking. i wont but this again. I also tried applying this under shimmer shadows and when i applied any shimmer or glitter shadows it like made the shimmerness or glitterness go away it didnt show up. i am guessing its just a weird combo with my skin tone.
I adore this product. It really helps my eyeshadow last longer, and it gives a boost to the pigment as well so I don't have to use as much. You don't need to use much at all, so it lasts FOREVER. A trick I read on here really helps with that as well--when it starts to get low, just pop off the little clear plastic stopper thing on the top and there's A LOT more product accessible. A little funny business going on with the packaging, I'd say, which is why I give it only a 2 rating for that.
This product is definatley a grade A. I have been using a primer that I bought in Target for a long time and my makeup would wear out so fast and I never knew why. after reading reviews here, I ran out and bought it at Sephora. It really is wonderful! unlike my old primer, it is not greasy or oily or makes my lids feel heavy. It's light and durable (in these sense that is lasts all day!) it really does! Usually, my make up creases and wears out by the afternoon and my eyes look tired. This primer is EXCELLENT! it doesnt crease my makeup. my makeup lasts ALL day. My makeup lasted through a rainy day and a sweaty work out at the gym and it was just as colorful at the end of the day as it was when I applied it.
The ONLY thing i hate about this is the packaging. It's really stupid. It would have been better if it was in a put or a squeeze tube. But I dont like the applicator it comes with nor the bottle. it just makes it difficult to get the stuff out and apply. I just smudge some on my eyelids and use a brush to smooth it out.
This is great for people who have oily lids.
The product definitely makes your eyeshadow more pigmented, but perhaps TOO pigmented.
It's very hard to blend when I use UDPP for some reason.
The packaging is horrible because of product buildup !
But it looks cute.
cant believe it took me so long to purchase this. the bottle is a bit of a joke, wish i could see how much product was left so ive already bought a backup :)
my makeup wouldnt last 5 hours, now with a primer it last freaking forever!! i found this product works the same as the BE eyelid primer i had just purchased for about the same price. still a great purchase.

"The medium bodied 2005 Ornellaia shows plenty of delineation in its dark cherries, blueberries, spices, minerals and crushed rocks. The 2005 doesnt have the detail of the 2004 or the richness of the 2006, but it does offer notable finesse and clarity in an understated style for this wine. My impression is that this will be a relatively early maturing vintage of Ornellaia, which is not a bad thing, considering the age worthiness of the two vintages which surround it. In 2005 Ornellaia is 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot. It is a big success in this vintage. Anticipated maturity 2010 to 2020." - RP 93


text: Galveston, Texas, awakened on September 8, 1900, on its way to becoming the most prosperous city in the nation, brimming with activity, commerce, and confidence. The following morning, it was a city decimated and humbled by nature, its businesses and homes unrecognizable, its hope swept away by what is still the deadliest weather disaster in American history. At the turn of the century, Isaac Cline was the chief weatherman for Texas -- he was also the one man who could have saved Galveston. The morning the storm hit, he watched as huge ocean swells transfigured the usually calm seascape of the Gulf Coast of Texas, timing the arrival of each swell, noting its size and shape. What he had yet to realize was that he had stumbled upon the greatest storm ever to target America, one in which eight thousand men, women, and children were about to lose their lives -- a figure more than twice that of the combined death toll of the Johnstown Flood and the Great San Francisco Earthquake. Isaac's Storm: A Man, a Time, and the Deadliest Hurricane in History is Erik Larson's riveting and detailed account of that storm. It is also the story of Isaac Cline, the nascent National Weather Service, the town and people of Galveston, and America at the last turning of the century, when the hubris of men led them to believe they could disregard even nature itself.

Chinese Smuggler Tried to Sneak Carbon Fiber for Fighter Jets, Feds Claim
- Friday September 28, 2012
The U.S. has busted up a plot to smuggle tons of carbon fiber to China, where the material would ostensibly be used in the construction of new fighter planes. That might seem worrying, but if the allegations are true, it's probably a comforting sign. That's because if Beijing needs to illegally import the ultra-tough polymers from America, that means we don't have to worry too much about China's upgraded air force.

LCDs much less electrically noisy than even small CRT monitors, I
don't have a studio, just line 6 guitar port, but I had annoying
interference when playing guitar (i.e. humming) with CRT I used to have
(which went away when I turned it off and was going down when guitar was
further from it so i am sure it was the monitor). However with 52 inch
CRT (sony bravia xbr4) I didn't detect any interference.
Not sure what you mean by low resolution, 1920x1080 seems to be
reasonable resolution, most 20+ inch monitors have 1920x1200 which is
not that much of a difference.

I like this song. But it was naggingly familiar for some reason. Then I realized it's EXTREMELY similar to "Bad Days," a 2008 song from the Charlatans UK. Almost too similar to be a coincidence? Compare for yourself – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ig0WABTTSmQ
Biggest mistake with Shoulder was letting Liam write a song. Subtract Little James and the quality increases exponentially.
Ridiculously excited for this album, and the great writing here is a given. One music geek nitpick – the side project was Divine Fits. Though given that co-frontman Dan Boeckner was also in Handsome Furs, I guess calling the band Handsome Fits makes perfect sense in some way.
Song would appear to be an homage to the Grateful Dead's St. Stephen. Same key, same '69 Garcia sounding guitar tone, and the riff is nearly copied minus a few notes. Good song!
That was filmed in the lot of a Phish show up in Saratoga Springs. I was there. Prolly should've given the dude a hi-five.
Nice write-up.
Great tune, actual a cover staple of Pearl Jam sets for years.
No 4th Of July and NOT A SINGLE SONG FROM SIDE-B OF DOWN ON THE UPSIDE?! C'mon now son!
Go listen to Tighter & Tighter and No Attention and Overfloater and Boot Camp again. Your ears miss them.
Recent Yo La Tengo shows have been two-set affairs……they open with an acoustic set, and the second half of the show is electric. So they start off by playing acoustic Ohm, and then the fully amped electric version on the album later in the show.
They essentially play it the same way, but the acoustic version is rather whispered and lovely.
I think it's one of their single best songs in years, so it makes sense. So nice, they play it twice!
Even if this wasn't a great album (and it is), the existence of P.M. Dawn was completely justified by the "I'm Just a Human" spoof in Fear of a Black Hat.
