- OR - Select an option belowRemember Friar Tuck, that rotund disciple of Robin Hood whose proselytizations involved food and booze more often than God? Well, if the goodly father had found his way from 11th-century England and somehow landed smack in the middle of Pompano Beach, he'd have quit the priesthood and opened Brother Tuckers, a saintly themed gastropub that seeks perfection in its most ingestible forms. It's a hole in the wall that would feel dusty if it weren't so clean and homey, literally hidden behind red brick and old wood. Inside, punters sip dozens of varieties of Belgian and Old World brews from style-appropriate glassware (snifters, pint glasses, mugs, and goblets) and feast on the small-but-well-conceived menu of upscale pub food. Daily specials (Thursday to Sunday) offer great variety, like a juicy, fresh mozzarella-and-bacon-stuffed meat-loaf sandwich or sirloin steak pounded thin and doused in homemade chimichurri. Other menu choices include salads with cranberries and grilled chicken, pork tenderloin with "Tucker" BBQ sauce, and a Monk's pizza with clams, garlic, and oregano. The house burger, decked in salsa and jalapeños, could make a case for best in SoFla. Tuckers closing times aren't posted, though it stays open fairly late for those seeking to revel in the great food, beer, and atmosphere.

Both Scotland and Italy head into their Rugby League World Cup Group C clash in good form after coming through their opening games with wins.
The Bravehearts overcame a strong outfit in Tonga 26-24 last Tuesday night after a try by full-back Matty Russell - his second of the game - put ahead Scotland late before they defended stoutly to deny Tonga a further score.
Meanwhile, the Azzurri marked their arrival at the tournament in style with a comprehensive 32-16 win over Wales at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium.
Now the teams go head-to-head to Workington's Derwent Park, where a large Cumbrian crowd are expected to turn out on Sunday.
Head coach Steve McCormack has no injuries to contend with and Catalan Dragons' hooker Ian Henderson believes that the Scot's victory over Tonga has inspired them for the rest of World Cup.
"It is pretty inspiring for us boys to put the effort in and come away with a win against Tonga," said Devon-born Henderson. "It was tough, really, really tough. We got off to a good start in the first half but they threw everything at us in the second half.
"I have never felt momentum change in a match as much as that in my life and it was so hard to contain. My shoulder is killing! They are big humans, they run hard and they are aggressive.
"It is great for us to get a win, we have got great belief in the squad and for us it is just really satisfying to get the win. I am not sure if it makes a difference who the opposition is, we are just happy to be competitive and to give ourselves a chance.
"Definitely the goal for us is to try and make the quarter finals firstly, and we have taken a step in the right direction. We have got a few things to work on, we didn't play well for long periods of time against Tonga but we are moving in the right direction, we are honest to each other and we just want to keep competing."
Italy head coach Carlo Napolitano says he wants to see more of the same from his side which started with a win against England in their warm-up match, before going on to beat Wales in Cardiff on the tournament's opening day.
"The plan is to continue the roll we are on hopefully but we have still got to improve on last weekend and we will be going over game plans towards this back-end of the week," he said.
SCOTLAND (19-man squad): Danny Addy, Danny Brough (capt), Brett Carter, Luke Douglas, Dale Ferguson, Ben Fisher, Ian Henderson, Ben Hellewell, Alex Hurst, Ben Kavanagh, Kane Linnett, Brett Phillips, Matt Russell, David Scott, Mitchell Stringer, Alex Szostak, Adam Walker, Peter Wallace, Oliver Wilkes.
ITALY (19-man squad): Christophe Calegari, Chris Centrone, Cameron Ciraldo, Ben Falcone, Ryan Ghietti, Aidan Guerra, Anthony Laffranchi, Joshua Mantellato, Tim Maccan, Anthony Minichiello, Mark Minichiello, Raymond Nasso, Dean Parata, Joel Riethmuller, Brendan Santi, Kade Snowden, James Tedesco, Ryan Tramonte, Paul Vaughan.

Tumblr woos TV networks too, teaming up with Viacom
With its first partnership with a television network, the Yahoo-owned blogging platform is chasing the same prey that other social networks are stalking to turn their finger-on-the-pulse relevance into revenue.
Tumblr is the latest social network to woo television as an advertising partner, announcing Viacom as the first television programmer to strike an marketing partnership with the Yahoo-owned blogging site.
Television networks have been the prom queen every social network wants to take the the dance lately, as they look for ways to turn their finger-on-the-pulse intrinsic value into actual advertising dollars.
Twitter has been wooing TV networks with marketing partnerships that shore up the newly public social network's revenue capabilities. Facebook, the biggest social network in the world, has been shouting about its value for marketing television lately too.
Viacom -- the parent of channels like MTV, Nickelodeon, and Comedy Central -- will inject custom content developed for Tumblr's blogging platform that connects to shows and events on its networks, using Tumblr's suite of ad products. The two companies will also have co-branded campaigns to brands and agencies during the upcoming "upfront season," which is when networks trot out their coming TV lineup to the people who buy ad space on their channels.
The Tumblr/Viacom partnership with start with the MTV Movie Awards, which airs April 13. Before, during and after the show, MTV will post images, videos, animated GIFs and other interactive content to Tumblr that connects to the program.

Unsettling aspects quickly reveal themselves in Dr. Edwardes though, putting the staff on edge. During a particularly trying episode the new man collapses, before being put to bed by Constance. Unfortunately she then discovers that he is really an imposter, an outsider trying to fake himself as Edwardes (perhaps because he's murdered him). The not so subtle clues point towards a deeper psychosis, arousing Constance's professional interest (her romantic ardour is already awakened). When J.B. (being amnesiac all he remembers are his initials) slips away to elude further trouble, Constance does a strange and rather far-fetched thing. Instead of turning J.B. over to the police she elects to follow him, certain that she can cure him with love and devotion (despite her factual knowledge of the dangers).
Tracking J.B. to a Manhattan hotel, the doctor and patient have an emotional reunion. Scarily this is cut short by a wave of panic flashing across J.B., like a flashback to his former persona. For all he knows he could be married and have three kids (though such adultery, even unknowing, wouldn't be appropriate in this sort of film). Anyhow, the path back to sanity is sure to be a treacherous one, with Constance trying to provoke memories without pushing him over the edge. With an eager pair of detectives on their heels the task is made doubly difficult. Constance, with assistance from her teacher Dr. Brulov (Michael Chekhov), must be up to the challenge (thus proving the ascendancy of heart over mind).
One of Hitchcock's more heavy-handed productions, Spellbound improves in its second half with a succession of surprises. The pity is that the central premise (that anyone can instantly negate their past with a single glance) is flawed. Constance is initially diamond-hard, thoroughly scientific and objective, before she flips into an emotional adolescent, subjective and silly. If the transition had been less abrupt, more of a sliding of principals, then perhaps the impact of J.B. would seem reasonable. Still, this all fits into the way in which Spellbound dismisses women. The arrogance which states that Constance can't function whilst in love is phenomenal!
On a positive note, Spellbound twists its plot around quite splendidly, mixing truth and falsehood in equal measure. While the psychiatry aspects are a touch dominant, the Salvador Dali designed dream sequence is a marvel. These scenes are the key to a deranged mind, although it's amusing to reflect on how well they hang together (unlike normal imagination). Spellbound is in no way a classic but stick through the lengthy plot-setting and you probably won't be disappointed by the extended (physical and mental) chase.

End Of Life Care Home Planned For Sutton Coldfield
A much-needed 32-bed nursing home specialising in end-of-life care is planned for a derelict site in Sutton Coldfield. The home, on the edge of Sutton Park, will create more than 30 new jobs.
Care company Homecroft Ltd has applied for planning permission for the new home on a brownfield site next to the existing Wyndley Grange nursing home in Somerville Road.
The nursing home will use state-of-the-art sustainable construction methods and materials, built to the highest environmental standards, using a local award-winning construction company. The very latest sustainable construction methods will be used, ensuring energy efficiency, while energy-saving fittings and renewable and sustainable materials will ensure high environmental performance.
The home will provide 31 new positions. For a proportion of these posts Homecroft plans to work with Birmingham City Council's Employment Access Team (EAT) to provide training and care apprenticeships for young people unable to find employment. The new staff will work on a rotating shift pattern over a 24 hour period.
Homecroft director Nick Murch said there was a national shortage of palliative care facilities for elderly people, and this was particularly acute in the Sutton Coldfield area.
He said, "This 32-bed home fulfils an urgent need for palliative and end-of-life specialist care in the area, while at the same time providing a first class environment for the residents. It will have modern, well-equipped single en-suite bedrooms and is in a wonderful position overlooking Sutton Park and Wyndley Pool."
"Construction will be sensitive to the area and in keeping with our existing Wyndley Grange nursing home close by. That building goes back to 1872 and has been extensively restored, while maintaining its period architectural appearance. We have worked closely with Birmingham City Council's homes and neighbourhood directorate and conservation experts to ensure the best possible appearance for the new building," he added.
"This new, sustainable development will improve a brownfield site, while providing jobs and fulfilling an urgent requirement. As well as the economic benefits to the area, it takes into account social and environmental needs," he said.
Building work, subject to planning permission, will begin in May, with completion by summer 2013. The project also includes landscaping and car parking provision.

i've played LoL for 1 and a half years, and i wondered what so great about Dota 2? LoL and Dota 2 are the most part the same game with a few differences. Champions: Amount: LoL: 99 vs Dota 2: 81 - LoL wins that one by 18.. not much when to think of it. Originality: All of LoLs champs have names, this adds character and makes them feel Original, like they all have an identity. well Dota 2 on the other hand, has a few that don't have names, and are generic, like "Sniper", "Nature's Prophet", "Enchantress", "Skeleton King", Ect, Overall: LoL puts alot of work into their Champs, giving them all an identity Items: Amount: LoL: 127 vs Dota 2: 127 yup a it's tie, i was surprised as well, if you don't believe me go look it up Actives/Unique: Passives: LoL: about 34 (counting Summoners) vs 65... no joke Overall: Dota spends more time on items, making alot of unique items. they may have the same amount, but it's clear that Dota's do more. so LoL vs Dota 2, comes down to.. LoL has better Champs, and Dota 2 has better Items. after playing LoL for a while... i have to say i'm sick of buying a deathcap of every mage, and i'm sick of buy a IE on every AD champ. and tanks ares worst, because all they need is Armor, MR & CDR i found my tanks having the same build over and over with maybe a few differences here and there. i feel a item build should feel like a part of the champ your playing. in Dota item building is part of learning the hero, in LoL it could be your first time playing the champ but cause you've played a mage or a tank before you know what to build mostly. i've gotten to the point i don't have fun playing a champ i've never played before, because the strategy i'm using i've already used on like 2, 5 or more other champs already. i'm sorry to say but if i can get into Dota 2, i will play that instead. i may come back, but only if LoL works more on items for a while.
I like them both equally and for different reasons, but i am better at LoL so i play it more. And all DotA champions have real names, they are just in the lore. Sniper is Karnel Sharpeye or something like that, Prophet is Furion, SK is Leoric. I dont know Ench though.
Dota has more heros then lol, not all of them have been ported in. EDIT: there are 108 heroes in dota to be ported into dota2, and while lol gives champs identity, dota most heroes are interesting to play, and have different itemization based on who they are and what the enemy has. itemization is way better in dota. There are like, what 5 active items in lol?
That is not the be all and end all and it would take too long explaining to you the difference between the two games, their playstyle and their metas for the amount you would understand.
I like LoL because you can look the camera onto your champ instead of trying to control the camera in team fights, and because the artsyle for LoL is brighter and cheerier
Lol Dota All stars Dota2 HoN Rott smashmuck champs xD
Alpha GareBear
All of DotA 2's heroes DO have names. They just aren't explicitly stated. Lifestealer's name is N'aix, Sniper is Karel Sharpeye, Nature's Prophet's name is Tequoia, Enchantress is Aiushtha, and SK is Leoric.
Op, it would be wise to take into account that while certain champs are referred to as "Enchantress" etc, they actually do all have names, they just tend to be referred randomly to as either their name or "designation". LoL is a much more forgiving game, flashes, summoner spells, summing up to less burden of knowledge. Dota on the other hand is way more intricate, where that can be a negative though is the tremendous burden of knowledge that comes with it. I think drawing a comparison is unfair, the best way to compare the two would be to simply say that Guinsoo and Pendragon now work for LoL, and icefrog works for Dota2. They are two heads of the same beast.
I've played both LOL and Dota for years and the biggest difference I find are the mechanics. LOL mechanics are more friendly where Dota's are more frustrating but because of this Dota is allowed to make some really awesome champions where LOL is more limited.
Who says having more champions in Lol (and getting new ones every few weeks) is a win? We have plenty of champions, and plenty of play styles. The game is harder to balance, and we may need to add more bans to the draft mode rules soon. I appreciate what you are trying to do in theory - but this wasn't actually a "Lol vs. Dota2" thread, it compared the most inane things about each game and then declared a winner.

I really hope Maureen gets one!! This will probably be her last Canadian Open. Would also love it if Melanie Gloria got one but that doesn't seem to likely.
Aug 6th, 2005, 11:51 PM
For Sures:
Marie-Eve Pelletier (Highest ranked Canadian)
Stephanie Dubois (strong play this year, especially recently)
Maureen Drake (few Canadians actually from Toronto)
Melanie Gloria (flew off the radar following Quebec City)
Aleksandra Wozniak (despite deserving it for some good results, still too young)
Sharon Fichman (WAY too young)

There is not 4 wild cards for main draw?
Aug 11th, 2005, 02:16 AM
I checked last year draw and there is 4 main draw wild cards... maybe they are going to give it to a top player... or Drake ?
Aug 11th, 2005, 03:11 AM
The 4rth Wc is in the hands of the WTA. If they find nobody, it will jsut go to the first player in the qualies list i think
Aug 11th, 2005, 05:08 AM
So is Maureen protesting by not playing the Qualies or did they just not give her one? I'm really horrified with this. Give her some props.

Based on her results, she does not deserve one :shrug:
Sorry :(
Aug 11th, 2005, 01:40 PM
Based on her singles results, no Maureen doesn't deserve a wildcard. She has put together a nice year in doubles so I think we will def. see a wildcard there if she doesn't make it in on her ranking alone. I don't think winning one match in a main draw in like two years consitutes recieving a wildcard... :o

Perhaps Maureen needn´t receive a WC for QD
Aug 11th, 2005, 04:34 PM
I just think it's disgusting that she didn't get in. Yes I understand theat the younger players need the oppurtunity as well but Maureen is from Toronto and this would probably be her last Canadian Open. Show some respect, she's been Canada's top player the last 5 or 6 years until this year.
Aug 11th, 2005, 11:39 PM
I don't think Maureen deserved one in main draw. And with her ranking, she might be in directly in the qualy draw, though i doubt it considering Melanie Gloria needs a WC and is now in the top 300.
What if Maureen jsut didn't want to play singles at all?

But you were right, she is in quali draw!

Group Used Automatic Weapons, Military Precision to Rob Tacoma Bank
CHAD PALMER, 21, of Norfolk, Virginia, pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in Tacoma today to Armed Bank Robbery and Brandishing a machine gun during and in relation to a crime of violence. PALMER is one of five men charged with the August 7, 2006 robbery of the Bank of America branch on South Tacoma Way. PALMER and two other defendants were members of an elite Army Ranger Unit based at Fort Lewis. Two additional Army Rangers have been charged in relation to the case. One illegally stored weapons for a conspirator, the other acted as a "consultant" on the robbery plot.
According to documents filed in the case, Army Ranger Luke E. Sommer recruited PALMER, Ranger Alex M. Blum, and Canadian nationals, Tigra J.A. Robertson and Nathan R. Dunmall to participate in the robbery. At a meeting the day before the robbery, Sommer provided PALMER with a loaded fully automatic AK-47 machine gun. Sommer provided other conspirators with loaded semi-automatic hand guns. The men wore soft body armor to protect themselves in case of a shoot-out with police. Sommer proposed that PALMER throw a hand grenade at the police if the police arrived during the robbery, but PALMER rejected this suggestion. Sommer told PALMER that he wanted to use the proceeds of the robbery to start a crime family to rival the Hell's Angels in British Columbia, Canada.
The robbery occurred at 5:15 PM on August 7, 2006. The men entered the bank in black masks and military garb. Over the 90 seconds of the robbery the men ordered the tellers to turn over their money and open the vault. The men escaped with more than $50,000. An alert bystander spotted the license plate of the car the men used for their escape and reported it to the police. The car was traced to Fort Lewis where evidence of the crime was uncovered at the mens' barracks.
Trial for the defendants, Tigra J.A. Robertson and Alex M. Blum, is scheduled for January 29, 2007. Defendants Luke E. Sommer and Nathan R. Dunmall are fighting extradition from Canada.
The case is being investigated by the FBI. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Mike Dion and Jill Otake.
For additional information please contact Emily Langlie, Public Affairs Officer for the United States Attorney's Office, at (206) 553-4110.

Best Picture: CAVALCADE (1932/1933)
By Witney Seibold on March 27, 2014
Witney Seibold has been watching every Best Picture winner in chronological order, and commenting on each of them in a series of brief essays on Nerdist. In week six, he watches Cavalcade, one of the forgotten ones.
I know a lot of film buffs, and have talked to many, many film critics in my day, and I have heard exactly zero references to Frank Lloyd's 1933 Noël Coward adaptation Cavalcade, the sixth film to have won the Academy Award for Best Picture. I have to be honest: I was eager to start the Best Picture project partly to discover some of the more obscure films in the Academy's canon, hoping to reveal and enjoy some great films that you and I may not be familiar with. Cavalcade, sadly, is not one of the greats. Indeed, with its broadly melodramatic characterization, emotional cheap shots, and mismatched tonal tilt-a-whirl, I'm tempted to call this one the worst yet (although it does face competition from the static and unengaging Cimarron). I can only glean that Cavalcade's obscurity is owed largely to the fact that it's just not that great a movie.
Cavalcade is another inter-generational epic (the second to have won Best Picture after Cimarron) that spans the time between the beginning of the Boer Wars in England (late 1899) all the way to end of the first World War in the late 1920s. Its main characters are the wealthy Marryots (Diana Wynyard and Clive Brook) and their children and servants. Their head maid Ellen is played by the immortal Una O'Connor, whom you may remember from The Invisible Man and The Bride of Frankenstein. The film follows them all as significant historical events shape their lives. The men are called to fight in the Boer War in South Africa, and only some survive. Ellen's husband become an alcoholic as a result. Everyone is sad when Queen Victoria dies. Later on, Edward Marryot (John Warburton) ends up taking a fateful voyage on the S.S. Titanic. Eventually, the entire family (not to mention the whole of England) is shaken up by the commencement of World War I.
To its credit, Cavalcade is gorgeous to look at. Thanks to the great expanse of settings (battlefields, reading rooms, ships, theaters, bars), there is an appealingly alive sense of visual variety. The crowd scenes are theatrically large, and the sense of historical scale is palpable. You really get a sense of more than just the plights of the characters. You get a sense of the actual history at stake. This is something that will be perfected and greatly expanded in Gone with the Wind, which I'll get to in due course.
But the drama and the characterizations seem out-of-place. The film was based on a play by Noël Coward, and if you know anything about the famed playwright, you know that's he's well-known for his dry wit, declarative artificiality, and glorious comic camp. It may help to point out that he was a contemporary of P.G. Wodehouse. In an historical epic, these broadly fake, near-comic characters create an uncomfortable tonal clash. Are we meant to be giggling at their mannered foibles, or mourning their inevitable perhaps-bloody fates? The drama becomes awkward and mawkish. A great tragedy often rolls right into an upbeat musical number. To draw a perhaps-apt allusion, it would be as if Dog Day Afternoon were enacted by Wallace & Gromit.
And just when you think Cavalcade is supposed to be a dark comedy about the ironic and tragic consequences of history on the people who are out of its control (hence the constant use of the stage and musical numbers), it begins throwing a series of dark montages at you, changing the message altogether.
The final message is, to give the film some credit, incredibly powerful. The montages are gorgeous abstract mosaics of British life during the war, and how World War I was such a violent, dark, and devastating event in the history of the world, that people pretty much lost all faith, hope, and happiness. World War I, the film seems to argue, broke any and all social contracts with the people, leading to a new modern age of advanced technology, bustling sensual devotion, and a bottomless pit of existential despair. The war destroys everything, abroad and at home. Cavalcade ends with a toast to peace amidst what seems to be the new world order: Pain, confusion, and chaos. It's an excellent ending to a largely stodgy movie.
I'm learning this from the Best Pictures: The cinematic universe was just as preoccupied with World War I as it would come to be with World War II. There are now more WWII films than there ever were WWI films, but that doesn't mean the Great War was any less horrible.
Join me next week for It Happened One Night.
Excellent series idea! Is there any way to easily find prior entries in this series? Tags or hub page?
I don't understand why you didn't review Sunrise. It won best picture, when best picture counted for two different films. It's also probably one of the five best movies ever to win the award.
[…] By Witney Seibold […]
[…] By Witney Seibold […]
You can take heart that the next several movies are really good.
I've seen all the Best Pictures. The older best pictures are really bad. Recently, I've been trying to finish up Best Actor (which is impossible because of 1 lost film, The Way of All Flesh!). However, the acting in 1920s and 1930s is really bad because they are coming out of the silent movies. It's not until the 1950s and 1960s when you see method actors coming in and having great acting.
With that said, Best Actor movies have been really good (skipping the early ones). Separate Tables, Lilies of the Field, and Save the Tiger were some of the ones I didn't know existed, but loved them.
It seems like you are saying that WWI ended in the late '20s. You know that's not correct, don't you?
[…] may be intimately familiar. In previous weeks, I have talked about relatively obscure films like Cavalcade and Cimarron, which hold no particularly strong spot in cinematic history, other than the fact that […]
[…] two years previous, director Frank Lloyd made the stiff Cavalcade, which I may have to start referring to as one of the worst films to have won Best Picture […]
[…] British family enduring what most all of England was enduring at the time. More so than Cavalcade, this is a powerful drama about watching your loved ones perish in a conflict more sizable than any […]

A new recycled water facility will provide high quality recycled water for residential, industrial, agricultural and community uses.
The Black Rock Recycled Water Plant is located in the Black Rock environmental precinct in Connewarre. The precinct is also home to the existing water reclamation facility, biosolids drying plant and recycled water demonstration farm.
The new plant will supply high quality Class A and consistent quality Class C recycled water for a range of customers and uses.
Residents in Armstrong Creek will be the first in our region to benefit from a dedicated "purple pipe" delivering Class A water for watering gardens and lawns, flushing toilets, washing cars and irrigating public spaces; they are expected to save more than 2,400 litres of drinking water annually.
The facility will also reduce drinking water demand by up to 350 million litres a year at new residential estates in Torquay north, and will also reduce the volume of treated water discharged to Bass Strait.
The construction cost of the project is valued at $42 million.
The Australian Government committed $10 million to the project through the National Water Security Plan for Cities and Towns, plus a further $10.5 million for "purple pipe" infrastructure through the National Urban Water and Desalination Plan.
The Black Rock Recycled Water Plant takes secondary effluent (treated wastewater) from the adjacent water recamation plant and passes it through an advanced treatment process.
Ultra-filtration uses very fine membranes to remove microscopic organisms such as bacteria, protozoa and viruses down to 0.1 μm (0.1 micron = 0.0001 mm) in size.
Reverse osmosis is membrane filtration technology that removes dissolved salts.
Ultraviolet disinfection removes most forms of micro-biological contamination.
Chlorination is a final disinfection process that eliminates any remaining micro-organisms. The process is the same as that used for treating drinking water.

Rainy weather Wednesday night made for risky driving conditions.
A man driving on highway 141 near mile marker 152 lost control when he came around a corner, causing his truck to roll over.
No one was injured in the accident. The driver was the only one in the truck at the time and only suffered a few cuts to his finger.
When police arrived on scene they gave the driver a careless driving ticket for not paying close attention to the poor road conditions.

The return: She allows a deep-seated joy to be back at camp guide her down the path leading to the boat dock. The early morning bird chorus is intensified by a series of sputters followed by a hoarse hum and revved to an air-splitting velocity. She peers through the clearing, framed by branches of pine and oak. Riding the wake of his motorboat, a fisherman launches a new season out on the lake.
Group hugs: Today, most individuals, couples, and families are a part of various circles and groups who share common ground. Theres the gang down at the coffee shop, a supportive church group, the office bunch, high school basketball teammates, buddies on the winter bowling team, fellow football tailgating fans, and, as the opening suggests, there are those who are drawn together unexpectedly when they navigate to a mutual place in time, surrounded by perfect strangers.
Incidental friendships: Pat and I have cultivated dear and lasting friendships throughout the eleven years that weve been spending time at our camper up north. As we return in spring, fellow-squatters greet one another with warm welcomes all around. We all come there for the same reasons, to relax and enjoy the out-of-doors and to escape, for brief intervals, the mundane routine of work and home. We share no more or no less than we choose to.
The true blue pal: Where bonding and trust have evolved over many years, your long-time relationships cannot be replaced. You once chose carefully the person or persons you confided in, who you entrusted your most sacred secrets and feelings with. In an era where continuous diversion and personal satisfaction are sought, few are willing to invest the energy and emotional strain of intense and demanding friendships. Virtuous character and truthfulness is no longer demanded of casual friendship. Sadly, friends for life may be on the way out with the nostalgic and mellow Baby Boomers.
Those who venture to criticize us perform a remarkable act of friendship, wrote Montaigne, for to undertake to wound and offend a man for his own good is to have a healthy love for him.
Cyber circle of friends: Friends by way of social networking are merely random faces (and all too often bodies) on a screen flashing shallow dialogue back and forth. Computer sites like MySpace, Twitter and Facebook, offer little or no substance or emotional support, certainly no camaraderie like folks once experienced. Community through cyber circles is deceptive with senseless small talk, sexual allure, and gimmickry.
Soulmates: William Deresiewicz wrote in The Chronicle of Higher Education, The image of the one true friend, a soul mate rare to find but dearly beloved, has disappeared from our culture. I beg to disagree with him. (But then Im from the conservative Midwest!) Couples spiritually entwined and in tune with one another will always be destinys sweetest achievement.
A true friend is someone who knows everything about you and likes you anyway.
E-Harmony or not: Marital success and longevity is not only a matter of finding the right spouse; its attempting to be one. Whether by an Internet match or the tried and true seek, seek until you find, the highest form of friendship is likely one between husband and wife. They dont always want the same things, but each is willing to make concessions and sacrifices for the well being of the other. Selfishness is poison to a marriage. Honesty, affection, and plenty of pillow talk keep harmony alive. Stay plugged in. Turn it on often!
Indelible impressions: She makes her way back to their campsite; Gods country has sprouted many of them throughout northern woodlands. Amidst ancient towering oaks, familiar faces and voices of other seasonal occupants mingle with fond eulogies fading in and out...memorials to those dearly departed.
She pauses to reflect on the ones who no longer return, whose seasons of life have led them to their perpetual dwelling...where friendships flourish in spirit and in peace.

I would recommend this item at this price point. I bought this kettle for my company's office and am satisfied that it boils water quickly and looks good. However, I also have a more expensive Boden kettle which has a heavier stainless steel base, is easier to open top, is easier to view window for water level and makes a sound when the water reaches boiling and turns off. Although I prefer the Boden kettle, this kettle does the job, looks fine and is a good value if you can enjoy a more basic item.
Positives: nice look, works quickly, automatic shut off when the hot water is done, cordless! Negatives: Because it's metal it gets warm so you need to be careful when you grab it.
Excellent product for a very fine price. Love the fact that the kettle sit upon the separate heating element, and shuts itself off at the correct temperature. Nice weight. Good capacity, too.
Seems a little bigger than what I had anticipated, the minimum amount requires you to refill it a lot, but overall it heats up quickly and provides everything we were looking for.
This kettle holds a lot of water. And heats it fast. But if you have a problem with noise, you might want to reconsider. I use it almost daily, the noise doesn't really bother me. It was a good purchase for me.
Good looking , heats very fast and shuts off when hot. great buy for the money.
I've had this kettle for more than a year. I use it almost daily and it works like new.
I've had this for quite some time now and I still like it very much. Don't worry about the on/off button it's not an issue. Works wonderfully, don't hesitate to make this purchase.
Heats up water super duper fast. Can't ask for more that that.
Good product, glad I bought it. Bottom is plastic with cord storage. The kettle part heats up fast and works well. Water stays pretty hot inside once it has boiled. Only down side, I would say, is that the steel exterior is also as hot as the water. So not for around kids. BUT for an adult, this is a good set up.

Christopher Michael Leslie (28 June 1972) is a British Labour Co-operative politician, who has been the Member of Parliament (MP) for Nottingham East since 2010. He is currently Shadow Chief Secretary to the Treasury.
He was formerly the MP for Shipley from 1997 to 2005 and a minister in the Department for Constitutional Affairs from 2001 to 2005. Between 2005 and his 2010 re-election, he worked as the director of the New Local Government Network think-tank.[1][2][3]
Early life, 1972–1997[edit]
Born in Keighley, West Riding of Yorkshire, Leslie went to Bingley Grammar School. He gained a BA in Politics & Parliamentary Studies in 1994 and an MA in Industrial and Labour Studies in 1996 from the University of Leeds.
From 1994 to 1996 he was an office administrator, going on to become a political research assistant in Bradford from 1996-97. He was elected to Parliament a month before his 25th birthday.[1][4]
Parliamentary career, 1997–2005[edit]
Leslie won the seat of Shipley as a Labour Co-operative candidate in the 1997 general election by beating Marcus Fox, the seat's Conservative MP since 1970. In the process, he overturned a 12,382 majority, to return a 2,966 majority of his own. It was the neighbouring seat to his hometown of Keighley, another seat won by Labour from the Conservatives in 1997.
Leslie was the Baby of the House upon first entering the Commons.[1] He would then be appointed Parliamentary Private Secretary to Lord Falconer for three and a half years.
Leslie held his seat again in 2001 with a halved majority of 1,428.
Shortly before his 30th birthday, Leslie became a junior minister in the Cabinet Office in 2001 following the recent election. In 2002, he was appointed Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State to the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister. He would then move to spend almost two years as Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State in the Department for Constitutional Affairs, working again under Falconer from 2003 to 2005.[1]
He never rebelled against a Government position during his first time in Parliament.[3]
Leslie would then lose his seat to the Conservatives' candidate Philip Davies during the 2005 General Election by fewer than 500 votes.[1]
Out of Parliament, 2005–2010[edit]
Leslie led Gordon Brown's successful (though uncontested) campaign for the leadership of the Labour Party in 2007.[5][6]
Having lost his seat in Shipley, between 2005 and 2010, he was the director of the New Local Government Network, which was described in the Local Government Chronicle in 2001 as a "Blairite think-tank."[7]
On 14 April 2010, he was selected as the Parliamentary Candidate for Nottingham East in the General Election campaign.
Return to Parliament[edit]
In the 2010 general election Christopher Leslie returned to Parliament representing Nottingham East, taking over from John Heppell.
He supported Ed Balls for the leadership of the Labour Party during the 2010 leadership election following the resignation of Gordon Brown, voting also for David Miliband as his second preference.
In September 2011, he stood in the shadow cabinet elections but missed out on becoming a shadow cabinet minister, however he was promoted to Her Majesty's Opposition becoming Shadow Financial Secretary to the Treasury. He replaced Stephen Timms, who was made Shadow Minister of State for Employment. On 7 October 2013 he was promoted to Shadow Cabinet, becoming Chief Secretary to the Treasury.
Personal life[edit]
In February 2005, he was married to Nicola Murphy, a special adviser to Gordon Brown, in Westminster,[8] having got engaged the previous year.[9]

On total chromatic number of direct product graphs AbstractThe Total Coloring Conjecture (TCC), posed independently by Behzad and Vizing, states that every simple graph G has χ′′(G) ≤ ¢(G) + 2. If χ′′(G) = ¢(G) + 1, then G is a type 1 graph; if χ′′(G) = ¢(G) + 2, then G is a type 2 graph. The TCC has been confirmed for cartesian product of graphs G and H, if the TCC holds for the graphs G and H by Zmazek, Zerovnik and for the powers of cycles Ckk by Campos, Mello [5].Here we confirm the TCC for direct product of a path, Pn, and a graph G, where G is type 1 graph. We further investigate the total chromatic number of direct product of a path and an arbitrary cycle.

Guns of August in the Middle East?
Posted By admin On July 1, 2010 @ 8:03 am In World News | Comments Disabled
Counterpunch [1]
Thursday, July 1, 2010
Crazy talk about the Middle East seems to be escalating, backed up by some pretty ominous military deployments. First, the department of scary statements:
First up, Shabtai Shavit, former chief of the Israeli spy agency Mossad, speaking June 21 at Bar Ilan University, Tel Aviv on why Israel should launch a pre-emptive strike at Iran: "I am of the opinion that, since there is an ongoing war, since the threat is permanent, since the intention of the enemy in this case is to annihilate you, the right doctrine is one of presumption and not retaliation."
Second up, Uzi Arad, Israeli prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's national security advisor, speaking before the Jewish Agency in Jerusalem June 22 on his belief that the "international community" would support an Israeli strike at Iran" "I don't see anyone who questions the legality of this or the legitimacy."
Third up, Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi speaking to reporters at the G-8 meeting in Toronto June 26: "Iran is not guaranteeing a peaceful production of nuclear power [so] the members of the G-8 are worried and believe absolutely that Israel will probably react preemptively."
Fourth up, Central Intelligence Director Leon Panetta predicting on ABC's "This Week" program June 27 that Iran could have two nuclear weapons by 2012: "We think they [Iran] have enough low-enriched uranium for two weapons…and while there is continuing debate [within Iran] right now about whether or not they ought to proceed with a bomb…they clearly are developing their nuclear capacity." He went on to say that the U.S. is sharing intelligence with Israelis and that Tel Aviv is "willing to give us the room to be able to try to change Iran diplomatically and culturally and politically."
A few points:
1) Iran and Israel are not at war, a fact Shavit seems confused about.
2) Since the recent rounds of sanctions aimed at Iran would have lost in the United Nations General Assembly, it unclear who Arad thinks is the "international community."
3) Berlusconi is a bit of a loose cannon, but he is tight with the Israelis.
4) An Iran that is different "diplomatically and culturally and politically" sounds an awful lot like "regime change." Is that the "room" Panetta is talking about?
And it isn't all talk.
Following up the London Times report that Saudi Arabia had given Israel permission to fly through Saudi airspace to attack Iran, the Jerusalem Post, the Islam Times and the Iranian news agency Fars report that the Israeli air force has stockpiled equipment in the Saudi desert near Jordan.
According to the Post supplies were unloaded June 18 and 19 outside the Saudi city of Tabuk, and all civilian flights into the area were canceled during the two day period. The Post said that an "anonymous American defense official" claimed that Mossad chief Meir Dagan was the contact man with Saudi Arabia and had briefed Netanyahu on the plans.
The Gulf Daily News reported June 26 that Israel has moved warplanes to Georgia and Azerbaijan, which would greatly shorten the distance Israeli planes would have to fly to attack targets in northern Iran.
The U.S currently has two aircraft carriers—the Truman and the Eisenhower—plus more than a dozen support vessels in the Gulf of Hormuz, the strategic choke point leading into the Gulf of Iran.
The Saudis have vigorously denied the reports they are aiding the Israelis, and Shafeeq Ghabra, president of the American University of Kuwait, says "It would be impossible for the Saudis to allow an Israeli attack on Iran."
But Ephraim Inbar, director of the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies in Ramat Gan, Israel, argues that Saudi Arabia and Israel both fear a nuclear-armed Iran. "This bring us together on a strategic level in that we have common interests. Since the Arab world and Saudi Arabia understand that President Obama is a weak person, maybe they decided to facilitate this happening." He also said the story might not be true because "I don't think the Saudis want to burden themselves with this kind of cooperation with Israel."
According to military historian Martin van Creveld, a professor at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, "The real fear is that someone will get carried away by his own rhetoric and fear mongering" and start a war. He also thinks, however, that Israel should not take a preemptive strike "off the table."
Trita Parsi of the Woodrow Wilson Center in Washington argues that the escalation of rhetoric is dangerous. "When you have that kind of political environment, you are leaving yourself no space to find another solution," she told the Christian Science Monitor. "You may very well end up in a situation where you are propelled to act, even though you understand it is an unwise action, but [do so] for political reasons."
The rhetoric is getting steamy, the weapons are moving into position, and it is beginning to feel like "The Guns of August" in the Middle East.

Using Technology While Traveling Overseas
Journey can be described as a very rewarding experience, when you can learn about other cultures and lifestyles in addition to visit historical sites. There are several activities to do when you travel and ways to be sure that you cut costs at hotels or for plane tickets. Read this article for more tips about travel.
When you're traveling, invest in money pots that you may wear inside your clothing or sew simple pockets to the inside of the middle band. If you can not sew, ask an individual who can to-do it for you or bring it to a tailor or seamstress, and demand they sew an internal pocket for you. This retains your money, identification and valuables safe and you need not worry about someone stealing your vacation bag or wallet.
If you're traveling road-trip style and you've an intelligent phone, decide to try installing applications for example GasBuddy so you can research what gas stations have the cheaper rates before you get into town. Spending 10-11 cents more per gallon can add up to a lot of supplemental income that you may be spending elsewhere.
Some hotels have video games inside them for one to use. Ask the front-desk to disconnect these, If you are traveling with children. A lot of the time when they're fired up they will bill you for playing them. Therefore if you simply take a shower you might not notice your kids have now been playing them until you get your bill at checkout. Should you wish to learn more on open site in new window, we recommend many databases you could pursue.
Travel to anywhere and mix things up a little you have maybe not been before. While you can on this planet you need to go to as many various and interesting places. You might even consider traveling internationally. If you decide you desire to travel internationally be sure you get your passport and funds ready, as well as research the currency exchange rates for different places. Dig up further on our related essay - Click here: folding travel scooter.
So you can very quickly budget your expenditures before you travel research currency prices. Understanding the importance of your dollar before you travel gives you a clear picture of what you can invest and create an itinerary that'll be conducive to savings. In so doing you will improve your fun and reduce overspending.
When renting a vehicle, know about the prices the rental companies set. There are usually four basic rates, each of them can establish when the miles are extra, given in the cost or infinite. Rates will be different with regards to the the size and style of vehicle you choose. Enquire about promotional rates, particularly over weekends, but make sure to demand these in advance.
Once you return home from your travels, produce a scrapbook of the adventures. Specially if you were on a road trip, you probably encountered a lot of interesting places on your journey. A photo album enables your friends and family to determine exactly what you did and helps to preserve your memories.
Make use of the airline miles you've accumulated to save the cost of the routes to your destination. There is really no valid reason to save them if you're seeking to make some vacation plans, but look into the conversion of cash to flight miles. You may want to just do it and buy them with cash If your flight costs significantly less than $300.
Traveling doesn't have to be costly if you create a budget before you leave. Whether you want to execute a cross-country road trip or go to a European nation, traveling could be educational and fun. Remember the recommendations in this article to keep safe and take advantage of one's money if you travel.

Council tenants struggle to buy their homes, survey reveals
Right to buy falls flat
Only 4 per cent of people who have expressed an interest in buying their home under the government's revamped right to buy have managed to complete a sale.
Just 233 sales have completed at 25 councils in London, Birmingham, Leeds and Newcastle, compared with 5,697 expressions of interest from tenants, a survey by Inside Housing has found. This equates to a conversion rate of 4 per cent.
Prime minister David Cameron launched the 'revitalised' policy six months ago, trebling the discounts in some parts of the country, with the aim of achieving 100,000 sales.
Hammersmith & Fulham Council has recorded 268 expressions of interest since April, when the higher discounts came into effect.
Andrew Johnson, cabinet member for housing at the Conservative-led west London authority, said delays were caused by people waiting to get mortgages: 'Property prices in Hammersmith & Fulham remain a stumbling block for many applicants.'
'I'd like the government to go further and introduce a right to part buy, giving tenants the ability to part buy their council home,' Mr Johnson added.
Birmingham Council received the greatest number of expressions of interest, at 696, but has sold just 65 properties since April. In the same period last year it sold 71 homes.
Croydon Council recorded 119 expressions of interest since April, versus just two sales. 'As far as I'm concerned the mortgage market is dead in the water and that's delaying the process,' said Dudley Mead, cabinet member for housing at Croydon Council. He added that lower discounts in Croydon, because of the lower value of homes, made the deals unattractive to banks.
A spokesperson for the Local Government Association blamed the mortgage market for the disparity. 'The LGA will continue to press the government for a review of the right to buy policy after one year,' he said.
A spokesperson for the Communities and Local Government department said: 'We would expect anyone thinking of buying their home under the scheme to have waited until the new discounts came into force in April and it takes a number of months for a sale to go through.'
Survey results
Figures are for the period from 1 April. The sales figures for Leeds are until the end of August, and the 2011 figures for Hounslow and Hammersmith are for the full year.
Readers' comments (20)
I'm a council tenant who could afford to go through the right to buy process but don't as I live in a high rise block so would never buy it due to possible future charges for major works which you read about that can be in 5 figures. I've noticed from the literature on the RTB website it doesn't give potential buyers this information either which I think is totally wrong.
How about the "wheels have come off..."
The raising of the discount cap to £70k has led to a significant increase in the number of applications and subsequent completions in the local authority area where I work. The number of elderly tenants with significant discount buying their homes has almost quadrupled since April. Last year there were less than 5 RtBs altogether, to date there have been over 20 applications with 4 completions with maximum discount just tipping the £70k limit. The sales, with loss of rental income and notional repayment on debt will have a detrimental impact on the authority's revenue resources. This, coupled with the pending Welfare Reform changes will result in an overall reduction in resources for debt repayment, capital works, repairs & maintenance and general management. Deep joy
Too many people walked into a nightmare situation without any comprehension of the problems associated with it, particularly in rural areas where they now can't sell, there should be a government wealth warning on RTB.
Could it be because the number prime decent homes that have not already been sold of are too few to generate much, and the massive increase in rents has meant people do not have much left for savings to use as a deposit, and the massive increase in taxation coupled with wage reduction and employment insecurity resulting from government policy is making it impossible for people to realistically afford a purchase, thus lenders are correctly not lending to them. Just a few thoughts about why, or it could just be the Government led demonisation campaign has been so successful that nobody would want to buy a socially rented home on the grounds it must be in such a dangerous rundown crimeridden slum anyone would have to be mad to even want to live there (and if it is not like that yet it is clear that government policy will soon deliver such conditions!)
Or, just perhaps people have woken up to the con that is Right to Buy and recognised it is simply another means of transferring ownership to private landlords, underwriting the extra costs through taxation.Richard, I think you'll find that it's not the elderly tenants buying, but their children/grandchildren buying "on behalf of" their aged relatives, thus, when the aged rellies pop off, they've got a house much bigger than they'd otherwise have been able to buy. Property not only taken out of social rent, but lived in by people who should have no eligibility.
Under RTB many council homes in my small rural town have been sold. Most were larger family homes and never replaced. At present i can find at least 12 up for sale, some of them have been for sale for a long time and at least 4 have been empty for sometime and are in poor condition. These houses could of been homes for the many locals stuck on the housing list. I wonder how many new sales have been agreed in my LA.
KB - agree entirely - the number of younger relatives either sharing in or funding the RtB of elderly tenants is noteworthy.
Lou - the devastation of the country's affordable housing by the RtB is always more noticeable in smaller neighbourhoods and in rural communities. New providers are still struggling to persuade rural commmunities to "allow" affordable accommodation to be built on exception sites where new 4 & 5 bed mock Georgian homes with two garages are being built.
The RtB has devastated this country's affordable housing stock and successive governments haven't had the guts to say so - or do anything about it.
Rant over - back to workSome good points being made. I would also add that in London and the south east, the price of property is so high that even with a 70k discount many people will still not be able to afford to buy, and even more so if they've few savings for a deposit.
Having said that, I don't agree that our social housing stock should be sold off anyway, so I'm sort of heartened by this story.Percentages can be misleading but the actual figure can tell a real story about the sales completed so far following the governments £600,000plus expenditure to promote RTB.
It will be interesting to see the spin Mr O puts on it during his Autumn Statement on December 5th when possibly he will be warm with his lower garments being ablaze?

Sushi Chef Goes On Tirade After Customer Complained Fatty Tuna Was Too Fatty
One diner learned the hard way that waiting to log on to Yelp from home is a better way to critique a sushi chef than while in the restaurant. The New York Daily News reports a diner was threatened with a knife when he complained that his fatty tuna was, well, too fatty. The altercation took place at two-star Michelin restaurant Soto in New York's quaint West Village.
Apparently, witnesses say the tirade went on for about fifteen minutes. Diners said the chef, Sotohiro Kosugi, marched into the dining room shouting, "You don't understand!" Another diner claims the chef was still wielding his 9-inch butcher's knife (though that fact has been disputed in other accounts). Other diners backed up the claim that there was definite screaming by the celebrated chef and other antics, and everyone stopped in their tracks. The people go silent and the chef is banging dishes, walking back and forth through the restaurant swinging his knife. He didnt calm down for a good 10 to 15 minutes!
What would you do if a chef had a fit over your critique?
