Patronage | Morwenstow, Cornwall, England |
Morwenna is the eponymous patron saint of Morwenstow, a civil parish and village in north Cornwall, UK. Her name is thought to be cognate with Welsh morwyn "maiden".[1]
Morwenna first appears in a 12th-century life of Saint Nectan that lists her alongside Endelient, Mabyn and Menfre (among many others) as a daughter of the Welsh king Brychan.[2]
She was trained in Ireland before crossing over to Cornwall. Morwenna made her home in a little hermitage at Hennacliff (the Raven's Crag), afterwards called Morwenstow (meaning "Morwenna's holy-place"). It stands near the top of a high cliff overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, where the sea is almost constantly stormy, and from where, in certain atmospheric conditions, the coast of Wales can be seen. She built a church there, for the local people, with her own hands. It is said that she carried the stone on her head from beneath the cliff and where she once stopped for a rest, a spring gushed forth to the west of the church. [3]
Early in the sixth century, while she lay dying, her brother, St. Nectan, came to see her, and she asked him to raise her up so that she might look once more on her native shore. She was buried at the church in Morwenstow.[3]
A painting was later found on the north wall of the Morwenstow church, thought to represent St. Morwenna. It shows a gaunt female clasping a scroll to her breast with her left hand; the right arm is raised in blessing over a kneeling monk.[3]
A local saint, she is depicted in a stained glass window of the parish church, St Morwenna and St John the Baptist's (Saint John was added as a dedication c. 1275 when the church was gifted to St John the Baptist's hospital in Bridgwater).[4] According to Nicholas Orme, a well in the parish (at SS 198 153) is nowadays associated with her[2] to the west of the church,' halfway down a precipice' is now alas dry.[5]
Morwenna of Morwenstow is commonly misidentified with "Marwenne" of Marhamchurch and the patron of Lamorran, a saint "Moren".[2][6]

Georgia Chef Reigns Supreme as 2007 King of American Seafood
The winning dish for this sizzling seafood cook-off held in Louisiana highlights the down-home charm of the South with a French-influenced recipe made with shrimp from U.S. waters.
Photo Credit Courtesy of the Great American Seafood Cook-Off
2007 Grand Prize winner: James Timothy Thomas, Georgia
Winning recipe: Shrimp Ratatouille with Boursin Cheese Grits
Runner-up recipes: Other finalist recipes included Cornflake and Basil Crusted Alaskan Salmon with Hoisin Sauce and Ginger-Lemongrass Broth, Sautéed American Red Snapper with Melon and Mango Salad, and Steamed Kona Kampachi with Fried Garlic, Tomatoes, and Soy Sauce.
Highlights and Details
Twenty premier chefs, each appointed by his or her state's governor, competed for the illustrious title of 2007 King or Queen of American Seafood by preparing a seafood dish using their local cooking style. The primary criterion for the contest was that the chefs must use seafood harvested from U.S. waters in their dishes.
After Day 1 of the event, six contestants moved on to the final challenge, which was to create a home-style dish in just 45 minutes using one of two secret ingredients or both: cornflakes and/or Michelob beer.
Proving he was up to the challenge, Chef Tim Thomas of Georgia wowed the judges by lacing wild Georgia shrimp ratatouille with a lightly floral Michelob Wheat Brew.

The '30 Rock' actor called US flight travel 'a disgrace' after he shockingly claimed that airport security selected his 5-month-old daughter, Carmen, for a random pat-down when he flew home with her from a family trip to the Bahamas.
Alec Baldwin took to Twitter to express his anger that his 5-month-old daughter, Carmen, was selected by TSA for a pat-down at the airport when flying home to New York from the Bahamas on Jan. 27. He even called air travel in the United States a "disgrace!"
Alec Baldwin's Daughter TSA: Dad Outraged After Baby's Airport Security Pat-Down

Wise up Mr. Baldwin your not above the law. Everyone has to follow them even if their a bad actor. In case you have not heard there have been real life stories of how drugs were hidden in a babies diaper, so just like the rest of us in this cruel world if you get selected step up clear yourself and walk through. I am happy for the TSA and other security areas that protect us from those who are not a "perfect" as Mr Baldwin. What a joke I can't stand him

William Hurt, who scarcely seems the fond papa type, has been photographed in Paris pushing his six-week-old daughter about in a pram. This is the child he fathered through the courtesy of Sandrine Bonnaire -- but you knew that. Will Hurt, Sandrine and baby make three when he returns here shortly to start his new movie with Nicole Kidman to be directed by Jane "The Piano" Campion? Or will he leave the chou and the petit chou behind until they both grow up?
The Hollywood word has Anjelica Huston starring as Maria Callas in the movie adaptation of Arianna Stassinopoulos Huffington's biography of the great diva. So who will play Ari Onassis, who loved her and left her, a little happenstance from which she never quite recovered?
This evening, more than 2,000 collectors, museum and art world luminaries, true art lovers and wannabes will pour into the Seventh Regiment Armory for the gala preview of The Art Show starring 61 prestigious art galleries, all members of the Art Dealers Association of America.

If you're following "The Following," you may not want to be following Kevin Bacon on Twitter.
The actor, who plays former FBI agent Ryan Hardy on Fox's serial-killer drama, retweeted a key detail from this Monday's episode after the show aired. Which would be fine... except the episode had yet to air internationally. So for the non-Americans among Bacon's 234,000-plus Twitter followers, the key twist was spoiled. (We don't want to reveal the twist, for anyone that still hasn't seen the episode, but the tweet is still live on Bacon's account.)
[Related: Natalie Zea Teases Future Face-Offs on 'The Following']
International fans of the show immediately noticed the gaffe and complained about having the big twist spoiled for them:
Bacon took to Twitter yesterday to apologize for the slip-up:
To all the fans abroad and late watchers I'm truly sorry I retweeted a spoiler. I just wasn't thinking. Won't happen again. #MyBad
— Kevin Bacon (@kevinbacon) April 9, 2013
Bacon even went a step further and personally recorded a Vine video of himself saying "My bad" (three times, actually):
Okay, we'll forgive you this time, Kevin. But don't let it happen again... or Joe Carroll won't be the only one after you.
Want to see the twist for yourself? Watch this week's "The Following" in full right here:
"The Following" airs Mondays at 9 PM on Fox.

Now that the Games of the XXX Olympiad are well into its final week of competition, it is still exciting to turn on prime time every night (even if I already know the results because I checked online during the day). The highlights so far has been swimming and gymnastics. I am willing to admit that the only time I watch either of these sports is when the summer Olympics roll around. The way I see it, it just makes the Olympic experience that much more enjoyable for me. The biggest news in the pool has been Michael Phelps. Every American should at least know his name and a little about what he has done. Winning 22 medals is so impressive! However, it has been more fun for me to watch the budding star, Missy Franklin at the aquatic center. It's hard to believe that she is only 17 years old and about to start her senior year of high school. It's been fun to watch her win all of her medals. Now that her races are over, I find myself already looking forward to Rio in 2016. Watching gymnastics at the Olympics is also a treat for me. I can still remember being 9-years-old and watching the U.S. women, "The Magnificent 7" win gold in Atlanta. Watching the "Fab Five" this year brought back all those memories. While there was no epic final vault that sealed the gold medal*, watching Aly Raisman become emotional as she completed her clean floor routine had a similar effect. Now as "athletics" picks up, it brings back memories of my collegiate track and field days. Of course we weren't quite on the same scale as the Olympians but Wartburg Track and Field were pretty dominant on its own playing field. Watching the men and women's 100 meter dash is always a must see as well as the 400 and 200 meters. I have a great appreciation for the throwers. Seeing Hungary's Krisztian Pars throw the hammer 80.59 meters (264.40 feet) is so impressive. The throwing events may not get the glory that the runners receive but it's exciting for me, especially knowing how difficult it is. The next big thing, for me at least, is to watch Kerri Walsh Jennings and Misty May-Treanor go for their third straight gold. In every match they have found a way to win. It's great to get to see those two play together one last time. Today's gold medal match between fellow American's April Ross and Jennifer Kessy should be a treat for the games. UPDATE: They did it! I just watched the match and Kerri and Misty were able to three-peat as Olympic Gold medalists. What a match! The basketball teams speak for themselves. With all of the all-stars playing on each squad, every game is exciting when they step on the court. I hope they both live up their golden expectation. I could go on and on about the Olympics (I'm pretty sure I already have at this point). It's hard to talk about everything because there is just so much going on. Even if the highly anticipated events aren't being shown, I find myself watching events that I had no idea were a part of the Olympics (team pursuit cycling anyone?). Or watch sports I never thought I would: handball, fencing and even a bit of badminton (huge scandal there!). In any case, I'm addicted and don't plan on doing anything about it. It will be sad when the Olympics wrap up this year. I will be anxiously awaiting the next games to see Team USA compete once more! —— *Well actually the vault wasn't needed to win the gold, but the team didn't know it at the time, and Kerri Strug will still remain an Olympic legend forever. | |

This is where most freshmen choose to live because of the close proximity to the campus as well as the opportunities to meet their fellow students.
Shelden Hall is an all-male hall. It contains two coin-operated laundry facilities, a computer lab as well as a lobby with an ice machine, big screen TV, DVD player and plenty of seating.
Coleman-Webb is an all-female hall. It contains a coin-operated laundry facility as well as a lobby with an ice machine, big screen TV, DVD player and plenty of seating.
Jackson Hall is a two-story, two-wing all women's hall with rooms that focus primarily on student privacy expectations. The 100 bed facility is unique among our peer institutions in that it offers bathroom facilities which are only shared with one other student rather than the traditional layout of four or more students sharing a single bathroom. Each two bedroom/two bathroom arrangement will then share one common living space between them as a social space.
Jackson Hall also includes such amenities as public rest rooms, study spaces, social interaction spaces, wireless internet access, laundry facilities, kitchen and cooking areas on the ends of each wing, and a purpose designed tornado shelter. Jackson Hall is also the location of the Residence Life offices.

I wandered lonely as a Cloud (Daffodils) Memory and the Past Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Line)
Quote #1
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils; (lines 2-3)
You don't think about verb tenses through much of the poem. It reads like a straightforward narrative which, though not set in the present, still has this present-y atmosphere to it because of phrases like "all at once."
Quote #2
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company: (lines 13-14)
The poem could have worked just fine if it ended here. Sad man becomes happy: a perfect plot. But no, Wordsworth has to be Wordsworth and add more layers of complexity.
Quote #3
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood, (lines 19-20)
The final stanza hits us with a surprise: the daffodil scene wasn't something that happened yesterday, or even last week. It happened a while ago. Now the speaker is giving us a memory about his memories.

We live in an age of digital content, technological convergence and portability. We buy devices that do more than one thing and we later replace them with new devices that do even more stuff. It has become natural and reasonable to expect the new device replaces all the functions of the old device.
I think its reasonable to ask that a new gaming platform be able to at least be able to play the prior generation of software. Two or three generations back I don't care about, those can be re-released digitally or have HD remasters or remakes. The prior generation, however, is where most gamers still have a lot of investment and this generation has introduced downloadable software, which are essentially investments into particular services.
If I can't play the prior generation's games I paid into - that's a problem to me. If I don't have access to my digital offerings, that's my money being held hostage and, thus, an even BIGGER problem. Right now with my PS Vita, I'd estimate about $90 of digital content I paid into is unavailable to me and some of that seems to be by design - either because Sony wants to drip feed it out to Vita customers or they're hoping someone remakes them. Most of what I paid into is there, though, so I'm okay with waiting so long as much of that becomes available in a timely fashion. I have my Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, the Final Fantasys, Resident Evils and other games I still have access to.
Personally, though, I see no valid reason for Sony to hold back the content - its not like Vita has other games competing for attention right now. I understand there's some re-licensing and authentication involved, but seriously? No Metal Gear Solid or MGS: Peacwalker yet? Light a fire under Konami's ass or something.
That said, I revisit a lot of games. Its not about a need to cling to the past, nostalgia or any of that. It really boils down to the fact that there are things in these games I still haven't done and because I enjoy them already I want to see everything or get better at them. There are people that speed run the shit out of Super Metroid and Castlevania; SOTN to this day. I'm not a hardcore speed runner, but I like to improve my times and challenge myself all the same, so every couple of years I'll go back to those games and see what I can do better.
Since my Vita and the Wii U will allow me to play those games, that's a good thing. I'd honestly be crazy if I insisted that I only bought a Vita for new games right now - there aren't that many new and compelling titles. Persona 4 Golden was the first game I picked up and even that's an enhanced port of a four year old game. I'll be my third run on the game in four years. .
There's enough on the horizon for me to invest in a Vita, but having my old digital titles helps immensely in the time between releases.
I know achievements and trophies have trained gamers of this generation to consume what is essentially a checklist and move on, but to think that's the only way to approach the hobby and insist we all "grow up" and move on is a disservice to gamers everywhere. You have people out there right now playing New Super Mario Bros. U and pulling insane stunts the game never asked them to try. We have charity events were people play through Ninja Gaiden on the NES without killing anyone.except for the bosses. GoG is a service that thrives on selling classic PC games. There clearly is a market for the older games. Hell, the indie developer scene exploits that fact and lots of games end up being like retro games.
We have thousands and thousands of games in our history now, I see no merit in putting them all behind us to focus only on what's new. It boggles my mind with all the time I've spend on Portal or Skyrim that people would just want to leave some of this generation's finest games behind.
Additionally, I shouldn't have to keep around older hardware to play old games. Space is a premium for a lot of people in their homes and I'm no exception ot that. I don't need a closet full of old consoles, I don't want to deal with the hassle of unplugging one console to plug another one in. You can call that lazy if you want, but when there's Wii U, PC, handhelds and phones built to meet that need I'm not wrong for wanting that need met. I'm also not wrong for not wanting my gaming space to become a fire hazard.with all those wires.
I don't care what the reasons are for not supporting backward compatibility. Its not my problem. I'm not here to feel sympathy for big corporations if they're painted themselves into a corner. I don't care if they are having difficulty implementing a feature like backward compatibility. These people had since the launch of the previous console to think about this stuff and work it out. Apparently, these are things Nintendo, Valve, GoG and Apple think about and prepare for. They seem keenly aware of what they're building and have some respect for what consumers invest in them.
I'm actually more than happy to "live in the past." There are plenty of great games there, Its why my PS3 and 360 have been replaced with a PS2. If I want most the games PS3 and 360 offered, I'll just go to PC for them from here on out because when the next generation of games comes, my PC games won't be left behind.
I don't want new console that lives in the past by restricting me from playing the prior generation's games. There's no good reason for it, no matter what the reason is.
In the coming weeks and months as Sony and MS show their hands, they need to realize the game has changed. Smartphones and tablets have changed public perception, the success of Steam and the indie gaming scene has changed public perception and Nintendo continues to defy industry expectations in many respects. There are struggles every platform holder faces as well, but no one can afford to march into the future thinking that things are going to stay the same forever. Cutting out games from a gaming platform just seems like a really bad idea.
Telling me that to play old games I must keep my old hardware is akin to saying to make a phone call I must keep my old phone. Was there some merit to a rotary phone of days gone by or the chunky cellphone from the 80s? Is there a reason I should have clung to an LCD cellphone with no backlight? Is there some value to texting with a numerical pad?
I think the answer is "no" to all of those. Now I have a smartphone that lets me find the directions to a store across town, plays Netflix and can double as a flashlight on top of being a phone, among dozens of other things. When you think about that, telling others to keep an old console for old games is pretty dumb when a new platform can do the job. If that's the mentality console makers like Sony and Microsoft wish to adopt - consoles deserve to go the way of the arcades.
If you have the space and the desire to keep old hardware around - more power to you, but not everyone always does. I like it when my new devices fully replace the old ones. I've been keen on the idea since Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance and PS2. To me, its a standard feature and there's nothing optional about it.view gallery

Broncos still in on Brandon Mebane
Posted By Mike Klis On July 27, 2011 @ 3:01 pm In Free Agency,General Broncos | 1 Comment
The Broncos expressed interest in several free-agent defensive tackles when the market opened Tuesday. Talks with Brandon Mebane of the Seattle Seahawks are serious today.
The Broncos and Seahawks seem to be the strongest suitors for Mebane, according to an NFL source. ESPN.com reported New Orleans was also interested in Mebane, a 6-1, 311-pound defensive tackle who can both plug the run and disrupt plays in the backfield.
The Broncos have also expressed interest in Miami's Tony McDaniel. The Broncos are also still negotiating with their own Marcus Thomas.

Detroit's bankruptcy should be a shot across the bow as a wakeup call to Americans as to where this nation is ultimately headed.
Unfortunately Detroit cannot print money as our now out of control Fed~U.S. Treasury axis of counterfeiting evil/scam known as QE 'forever'; I.E., a closed loop of our government purchasing it's own debt via the endless printing of money out of thin air. / : |
There will be other cities to follow within the next decade unless national insolvency should preempt such serial financial corrosion of our towns, cities and state governments.
Americans have been living large swiping their credit cards so to speak; I.E, enjoy a service or material good immediately with little thought as to how some genuine sweat equity as a function of creativity and productivity is going pay off said debt.
This current sequestration at the Federal level along with this bankruptcy scenario for Detroit is simply a prevue of coming attractions.
No amount of grandstanding on the part of politicians faciliatated by a totally compromised MSM will change our course.
Savvy citizens will start preparing for the worst if they haven't done so already in terms of provisioning and getting their personal financial house in order. Citizens need to countenance a time when there will be no check in the mail or auto deposit as a function of their bust government or company pension plans. For sure the process will start with serious reductions of benefits both public and private.
The scamsters at the highest levels our government and corporate America will weather the storm quite well witnessing the rioting and blood running in the streets from their distant enclaves, mountain retreats, and taxpayer provided government bunkers via satellite along with the comfort of many years supply of food and other pleasures I darest not enumerate.
With reference to many years of ever-increasing corruption in government and business…

Received a stainless steel brew kettle in the mail today. Has some scratches on the outside and on the inside. Is it acceptable that a new SS pot will at least have a few minor scratches on it after shipping?
That's kind of up to you. If they aren't that bad, I wouldn't worry about it. The scratches won't hurt anything.
I guess it depends on you really. I don't think I'd be to happy paying for an expensive stainless pot and have it arrive scracthed. You did say minor, how minor?
Small scratches on the interior bottom and some on the outside. No large scratches. I'm just wondering if most people get their pots in pristine condition or because of their nature, it's impossible to keep a large pot scratch-free.
My first brewpot was a buyou clasic 36 qt stianless. Right out of the box, the handle came off the lid. I didn't really care since it was a brewpot and I rarely have to handle the lid while it's hot. My buddy told me I should ship it back, but I decided to brew instead. My second purchase was (3) 40 gallon stock pots off ebay. They arrived with some minor dents/scratches and the lids were out of shape a little. Had to bend them around to get them to fit right. Took a rubber mallet and pounded out the dents. I made out like a rat on the stock pots so instead of complaining I just got out a step bit and went to work.
Ha, ok well I'm luck then and shouldn't be complaining.
if its new its not acceptable. its been out of the box and is at best an open box item and should have a substantial price break. It its a custom drilled or welded pot its not new and can't be new after they unpack it to do work on it. machine shop benches, concrete floors and tools scratch stuff and a scratched pot isn't critical. perfectly acceptable.
That must be where the scratches came from. I have two welds on the front. Thanks for the input.
Hey Chug, was it this kind of brew kettle?http://www.homebrewing.org/2-Weld-15...ot_p_2756.html I got one of the 19 gallon versions from a local supplier and there were a fair amount of scratches on it, mostly on the outside. Nothing major though, and considering the low cost of the pot vs the relative high quality of it, I'm not complaining/worried.
Yes, very similar.

I've been reading about the potential dangers of soy, what's the story?
Soy is a good food if you are type A. By this it is meant that soy will not make you FEEL good if you are type A. Some of the good things soy is doing may, in fact, make you feel not so great after you eat it, but it is good for you nonetheless. Here it is the effect of soy lectin on the blood and immune system. These uncomfortable reactions are usually temporary. Making sense of the recent controversial articles about soy, phytates, aromatase and minerals:

Obama Administration Continues To Threaten And Harass George Zimmerman
They are sealing the evidence, including his gun.
The U.S. Department of Justice, overseen by Attorney General Eric Holder, has ordered the Sanford, Florida police department to keep possession of all the evidence from George Zimmerman's second-degree murder trial – including the exonerated neighborhood watch volunteer's gun.
Sanford police confirmed on Thursday that the DOJ asked the agency not to return any pieces of evidence to their owners. Zimmerman was expected to get his firearm back by month's end.
The development is a sign that the criminal section of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division is seriously investigating Zimmerman to determine if federal civil rights charges should be filed.Florida law requires that Zimmerman regain possession of his gun, but the DOJ has stepped in to prevent it
Zimmerman was acquitted of murder and manslaughter on Sunday in a Florida courtroom, but civil rights violations provide an exception to the U.S. Constitution's protection against double jeopardy after a defendant has been found 'not guilty' in a state or local jurisdiction.
That's because if Zimmerman were tried in federal court, he would be charged with violating Trayvon Martin's civil rights, not causing his death.WESH-TV in Orlando reported Thursday afternoon that police had confirmed the evidence 'hold,' meaning that everything related to the trial, from Zimmerman's gun to the Skittles and iced tea Martin was carrying when the pair's altercation began, will remain in the hands of law enforcement.
The DOJ did not immediately respond to questions about whether it will take custody of the evidence, or when that might occur.Attorney General Eric Holder told NAACP convention-goers that the DOJ still has an open civil rights investigation in Zimmerman, despite his acquittal in Florida
MSNBC host Al Sharpton has planned a series of 'Justice for Trayvon' rallies, one of whose goals will be to call on the federal government to prosecute Zimmerman
But Holder himself confirmed on Tuesday during the NAACP's annual convention that the Justice Department still has an open investigation into Zimmerman's actions on Feb. 26, 2012.
'I am concerned about this case,' Holder told the assembled black civil rights activists, 'and as we confirmed last spring, the Justice Department has an open investigation into it.'
'While that inquiry is ongoing, I can promise that the Department of Justice will consider all available information before determining what action to take.'
Most lawyers will tell you that the Justice Department will not go after Zimmerman, but my gut is not so sure. The lawyers assume the rule of law. I think we are into a post-legal phase of the United States.

Jamelia's soccer star fiancé Darren Byfield has been in a secret two-month fling with a busty blonde according to News of the World. "When we got together at the start of August Darren never stopped dumping on Jamelia," part-time model Jaclyn said. "He said there were so many things he couldn't stand about her. He claimed he was sick to the back teeth of sleeping with a skinny woman and longed for a more curvaceous lover. He told me Jamelia was rude and overbearing towards him, a controlling diva, and that he just couldn't be bothered with the hassle of being with her any more. And I didn't sleep with him until he convinced me they were finished. He was adamant they'd stopped having sex and Jamelia had moved out of his house. But he totally, deliberately, misled me and I'm devastated about it. I feel absolutely wretched at what this will do to Jamelia. But Darren's a complete bastard and she has to know the truth about him."

President Barack Obama brought his push for health care reform to the Tar Heel State Wednesday. He spoke to citizens at a town hall meeting in Raleigh.
A standing-room only crowd greeted the President at Raleigh's Broughton High School Wednesday, as he turns up the rhetoric to try and sell his health care reform plan.
"If you've got health insurance, then the reform we're proposing will also help you, because it will provide you more stability and more security," Obama said.
The President said his plan would cap out-of-pocket costs for patients, require insurance companies cover check-ups and preventative care, keep insurers from capping yearly and lifetime coverage and prevent them from denying you coverage because of your medical history. He also said it would help lower prescription costs and help small businesses provide insurance for workers.
Wilmington resident Kay Zwan knows about facing these challenges. We first met Zwan in February. She told us she lost private coverage for her family when she lost her job. This was made even more difficult because her husband and son both battle chronic illnesses when she lost her job last year.
"We've got to break that monopoly so that people, all classes of people, and those that are sick and disabled have access to the affordable care that they need," Zwan said Wednesday in Raleigh.
But critics say the President's plan would cost about a trillion dollars over ten years on top of the huge deficit the nation already faces.
Governor Bev Perdue supports reform, but wants to make sure it doesn't burden families or the state.
Perdue said "It's gotta be the right cost, the right care at the right place at the right time."
The president said about two-thirds of the cost is already in the health care system. He said it just needs to be spent the right way on the right things.
And as congress works on reform, the President wants the goal kept in focus.
"Here in North Carolina you know this isn't about politics, this is about people's lives," Obama said, "It's about people's businesses. This is about the future."
The President originally wanted a health care reform package from Congress before its August recess. Wednesday he said the best-case scenario would be the House and Senate to vote on it by late September or October.

Karim Benzema's agent has flatly denied rumours linking the Real Madrid striker with interest from Milan.
Sky Sport Italia speculated earlier this week that the Rossoneri were looking at a move for the player this summer.
The Italians were apparently alerted by a belief that the Frenchman was dissatisfied with inconsistent playing time at the Santiago Bernabeu and looking to leave this summer.
However, the 25-year-old's representative has made clear that the striker's future is with Madrid.
"Benzema is staying with Madrid," Karim Djaziri told Tuttomercatoweb.com today.
"There is nothing with Milan and I have nothing further to say."

(KMOV) – One suspect was killed and two others were injured after being shot by a 36-year-old off-duty officer during a robbery attempt in Forest Park late Monday night.
According to police, a St. Charles County deputy and a 23-year-old woman were jogging near the Grand Basin at the foot of Art Hill around 11:15 p.m. when a man slowly walked past them.
Police said the officer became suspicious and placed a gun at his side as a precaution. When the pair turned a corner, three black males dressed in dark clothing and hoodies pulled a gun and announced a robbery.
The officer then fired shots at the suspect, striking all three of them. An 18-year-old suspect, Antonio Nash, was hit in the stomach and was pronounced dead the scene.
One of the other suspects was struck in the buttocks and the other was hit in the neck. Those suspects, both 20, were taken to the hospital in stable condition.
No other injuries were reported.
According to police, the officer has 16 years of experience on the force.
Authoriites told News 4 it did not appear charges would be filed. Homicide detectives were investigating.

Earlier in the summer, the Hays Monarchs Legion baseball team would shoot itself in the foot, committing errors and failing to come through in key at-bats with runners on.
But now, amid a seven-game win streak that includes Monday's doubleheader sweep of Larned, 8-0 and 11-2, at TMP Field, those mistakes seem to be in the past.
"Unless you can string three or four hits together ... we are not hurting ourselves right now with the walks or the errors. That's been the biggest thing here lately," Monarchs' coach Dustin Schumacher said.
"We aren't giving anybody a chance. You are going to have to string some hits against us, string them together to score any runs. Pitchers are throwing strikes; we've walked very few people. We are not striking a ton of people out, but we are making plays."
The Monarchs continued the high level of play against Larned, getting big hits when needed, being stingy on defense including a couple of double plays, and riding their pitchers to complete-game performances, the sixth and seventh consecutive complete games by Hays, though both were five-inning run rules.
Kameron Schmidt, playing in his first game since June 12 at Dodge City because of a basketball camp, earned the win on the mound for the Monarchs in Game 1. He allowed only three hits and one walk, while striking out four Larned batters, to improve to 3-0.
The Monarchs led 2-0 after the first inning in Game 1, both runs coming on a single by catcher Jordan Gottschalk to score Ryan Ruder and Grant Romme. A sacrifice fly by Ruder in the third inning made it 3-0, and a fielder's choice from Justin Pfeifer in the fourth scored Ryan Schippers to push the lead to 4-0.
The score remained until the fifth, when the Monarchs pushed across four more runs to set the run rule.
"That's been the biggest thing: we haven't been very efficient at times. And tonight, when we had people on, we moved them over," Schumacher said. "Did a lot of running; bunted some people over. Guys came up with people in scoring position and we got those hits with two outs or one out or whatever. We got it done at the plate and it's good to see."
Gottschalk's two RBI on 1 of 3 hitting led the way in Game 1. Schippers and Schmidt led the team with two runs each.
The offensive onslaught continued in Game 2 with the Monarchs getting two runs each in the first and third innings to lead 4-1 entering the fourth. Larned added its second run in the top half of that inning before Hays lit up the scoreboard with seven runs in the bottom half.
A single and a pair of walks loaded the bases for Ruder, whose short blooper into right field brought home the first two runs of the inning.
Ruder scored two batters later off a Gottschalk double, making it 8-2. A bases-loaded walk of Ricky Hockett scored the ninth run, with the final two runs brought home on a Schmidt single.
Hays shut down Larned in the top of the fifth to put the run rule into play for the third straight game.
"I was just trying to protect and found a spot in the outfield. Was pretty happy with that," Ruder said of his bases-loaded, two-RBI single in the fourth inning.
"We are just trying to eliminate some of the mistakes we previously made and just play smarter baseball. Just putting the ball in play and trying to make things happen."
Ruder was among the offensive leaders in Game 2, going 2 for 3 with two RBI and two runs. Schippers also was 2 for 3 with two RBI and three runs.
Braiden Werth (2-0) allowed two hits and two earned runs to go with one strikeout and one walk.
"We definitely put it all together tonight and played good defense," Schumacher said. "Ricky (Hockett) made a lot of really good plays out there at short. Pitchers threw strikes and we hit when we needed to."
The Monarchs, now 11-3, next play a 6 p.m. doubleheader Wednesday at Pratt.

We have test results for eight double ovens priced from $1399 to $3299.
Through our rigorous testing, we reveal which ovens:
If you have a large family to feed or love to entertain, a double oven is well worth considering. They allow you to cook multiple foods at once, using different functions and at different times and temperatures. The DeLonghi DE6060MD is the only true double oven on test - it has two full-sized ovens, both with the full set of functions. Despite their claim, the rest of the "double ovens" on test are actually one-and-a-half ovens (or a primary plus a secondary oven). But fear not – they can be just as versatile as a true double oven, and if you're looking to replace an oven with a separate grill, they're a great alternative. The functions available in the half-oven tend to be limited, so make sure they suit your needs. Double ovens generally have top and bottom elements and a grill, but check what else they come with. Three on test have a fan-forced function, which increases their versatility.
Video: What to look for - Ovens
Thinking of buying a new oven? Fiona Mair shows you what to look for.
To compare the ovens' performance, our home economist, Fiona Mair, cooks a range of foods, including chicken, pizza, toast, scones and meringues. She tests the ovens' ability to perform over a range of temperatures, times and functions.
Fiona assesses the controls, the grill and oven areas and ease of cleaning.

[color="#0000FF"][size="5"][font="Times New Roman"]Hi welcome[/font][/size][/color] :)
Cheers for the warm welcomes, and Dan I hope people are willing to help as it's been many a year since I had a play with a Ford tbh
They are all I used to own and work on as I love classic Fords, but I got offered a good deal on a Mk4 Golf TDI from a friend that I bought whilest I fixed up the XR2 and I got addicted to the torque and toys of it and kept to the dark side of VW's.
I'm now in a better financial situation and want a weekend/summer toy, and if you have ever owned a Mk2 Fiesta with up rated suspension you will know there are few better handling cars in the twisties [URL=http://s611.photobucket.com/user/bigjim-85/media/Smilies/emotion-34.gif.html][/URL]
I now run the below as a daily :ph34r: so if your local and you see me don't be affraid to say hello to someone in a VW [URL=http://s611.photobucket.com/user/bigjim-85/media/Smilies/emotion-21.gif.html][/URL]
I wanted to fix it up last summer, but money wouldn't alow :( This year I want to at least get a good chunk of the work done on it, even if it doesn't make it onto the road until next summer.
