I was thinking of usining two 5 gallon carboys each filled with 2.5 gallons of wort and using two different yeasts (ringwood and Nottingham). Anyone run into problems doing this or have any ideas?
Shouldn't be a problem...
It's a good way to verify what each yeast can do. Just be careful when you add the yeasts, so you don't get some in each fermenter. If you re-hydrate the Notty that would eliminate the problem.
Remember one unassailable statistic, as explained by the late, great George Carlin: "Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!" "I would like to die on Mars, just not on impact." Elon Musk
I was going to mix the two worts together in the bottling bucket...
Why not bottle them separately? Not much more work, I'd think.
Unless you know the true characteristics of each yeast I would bottle them seperatly. Enjoy them, then if you feel it would make a nice mixture, open two, pour half of each in a glass.
I guess you need to tellus why you are wanting to do this. It doesn't make sense if your gonna combine it at bottling. We are all assuming it is to see what kind of different beers are produced

WLP080 is mixed ale/lager yeasts. I just did a starter for the SMASH I'm doing tomorrow - not sure how it'll end up.

I think the size limits on a "small parcel" have gone up but the weight bands are the same - if it weighs over 1kg you may find cheaper options elsewhere. I respect the Royal Mail and like to support it but I have recently resorted to a certain popular courier firm who will collect from our door or from a named "safe place" and will do the same at the other end - and it's tracked.
You're right, though, the advice does rather suggest that the plants can huddle together like sheep or penguins to conserve their body-heat.
I suppose there would be some protection from the cooling effect of frosty winds. But as remarked already, the main benefit would be that youcould then protect the whole cluster with a layer of bubble-wrap or something.
Basil - yes absolutely, I have some in my kitchen now that's been grwoing for a couple of months since I bought it at a supermarket.
Sage is not generally sold in supermarkets as it's too big and leggy, but if you can get some established out of doors, it's hardy and you can use it in the winter. Or if you get a sprig or two, you can dry or freeze the leaves.
You can send apple samples off to Brogdale for identification, but there's a charge for this.
Bess will come out to feed any time the weather is warm enough - some are still around now when the sun shines. Ivy is an important food plant for them at the moment. I've also seen bees on the white flowers of Fatsia, and in the clematis (Freckles). It's surprising what they can find at any time of year.
Yes, it sounds like oxalis and I think it's pretty tough. We have some of this in odd places in our borders and it seems to keep coming back each year.
I sometimes leave the old compost in the bottom half of the pot and replace the top layer with fresh stuff to get the new plants off to a good start. The rest of the old compost can be used as a soil conditioner elswhere in the garden.
And listen, there is no need to apologise for asking a simple question. As someone else has said, the only stupid question is the one you are too afraid to ask.
Every time someone asks a basic question, lots of other people read the answer and think, "Ooh, I'm glad he asked that, I was wondering too!"
Welll, I tried to order these bulbs on 29 Oct and found the webiste charged me £5.60 for the bulbs pllus £4.95 for postage, which is not what the offer on the website says. I e-mailed them, and have had only an acknowledgement so far. But reading these accounts of mouldy bulbs makes me think perhaps I'm well out of it!
Great, I hope the rain keeps off for you.
In the meantime, perhaps you should get your PR consultant to reconsider your choice of trade name ...
James, you could turn this to your advantage:
"I am James, of Clueless Gardener Services. I offer a leaf-collection service at very reasonable rates. I supply the bags and remove your leaves for, say, £1 a bag ...."

ShineSeal is a proprietary blend of several chemicals that form a seal over metal. ShineSeal is not a polish, cleaner, or wax, but it will protect against oxidation and the dulling of metal without changing the metal's appearance. When ShineSeal is applied, it impregnates the metal's pores and a chemical bonding takes place. ShineSeal and the metal become affixed to one another. The chemical bond seals off the breathing process of the metal, which is the cause of oxidation and deterioration. ShineSeal can be used on aluminum, stainless steel, brass, copper, and chrome. Additionally, ShineSeal results in a super-slick surface which sheds water instantly--very little wiping is needed, and water does not get a chance to stand on the surface and cause spots. The Master Kits cover 80 sq. ft. and include Bio Cleaner, Metal Sealer, Slick Finish, Brite Shine metal polish (for reconditioning), applicator cloths, and an instruction sheet.
Some benefits of ShineSeal are:
* Protects against oxidation and dulling
* Eliminates repeat polishing for up to 2 years
* Retains the rich brilliance of polished aluminum
* Safe to use and is environmentally friendly
* Chemically bonds to your products
* Does not chip, crack, or peel
* Easy to apply and withstands 700 degree F temperatures

Dubai She looks like your average 16-year-old, but when you get a chance to talk to her, you are sure to realise you have been gravely mistaken.
UAE | Education
Teenager set to redefine brilliance
Parizad's quest for knowledge started when she read world atlas
- Image Credit: Atiq-Ur-Rehman/Gulf News
- Parizad Bidshahri, a pupil at The Winchester School Dubai, is planning to study neuroscience and wants to get into a good university.
Parizad Bidshahri — Raya to her friends and family — has an astounding record for her age.
She's the Deputy Head Girl of her school, The Winchester School Dubai; president of the school's Astronomy Club and Science Club, She writes for the Phoebus online magazine, a keynote speaker at the Winchester Leadership Conference, and the 2011-12 winner of the school's Principal's Award.
Bidshahri is also the recipient of the Shaikha Fatima Bint Mubarak Award for Excellence 2012.
That is not to mention her dearest achievement to date, which is earning multiple medals and breaking a record at this year's World Scholar's Cup.
The World Scholar's Cup is an international team academic tournament that was held in Dubai on March 23 and 24. Bidshahri swept 10 medals in various categories, finished in first place overall and broke a record.
Her passion for knowledge started when she began reading about science.
"The first encyclopaedia I ever read was in the second grade, I got a World Atlas and The Human Body from my mum for show and tell, because I didn't have anything else to take. Ever since then I have been reading occasionally, but in the 10th grade it seriously started, I stared reading more."
Bidshahri is planning to study neuroscience.
"It is the study of the brain that makes it all possible. I think it all goes down to how we perceive it and it all goes down to us. That is why I want to go deep into the problem — right into our heads." She said her next conquest and top priority is trying to get the best grades in her IGCSE exams so she can get into a good university.
"Honestly I do not see anything as useless knowledge, so I read as much as I can," Bisdhahri said.
Managing time comes naturally to Bidshari. She said the key thing is to do things over time and not to sign up for everything all at once.
She does not put all her efforts into academics. She is also highly involved in charity and community service. Bidshahri was completely responsible for the Smiles Campaign, a charity campaign in which students collected food and personally gave it to labourers.
Rohan Roberts, Head of Professional Development at Winchester School, who is Bidshahri's English teacher, said that what makes Bidshahri remarkable is that she "does not only read, but she understands it and is able to teach others."
Bidshahri gives lectures at the school's Astronomy club meetings.
Bidshahri is part of the Gifted and Talented Programme (G&T), an individual educational plan for students who are found to be outstanding in certain fields.
"I meet with Mr Roberts once a week every Thursday and we go through things that interest me and challenge me at the same time. We analyse a poem, or maybe talk about something scientific or we go through philosophical dilemmas," Bidshahri said.
Roberts said, "It is not the case of the school telling Raya what to do, what to believe. She lets us know what she is interested in and we let her do her own research and present back to us."

Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) is a bacterium belonging to the class Mollicutes and the family Mycoplasmataceae. It is the causative agent of chronic respiratory disease (CRD) in chickens and infectious sinusitis in turkeys, chickens, game birds, pigeons, and passerine birds of all ages. [1][2]
The disease was first described in 1905. It was described as a respiratory disease that was found in domestic poultry. However, it wasn't for another 50 years that the causative agent, Mycoplasma gallisepticum, was cultivated.[4]
In 1980, M. gallisepticum was isolated from wild turkeys in Colorado, Georgia and California. This was because of the mixture and close contact between the wild turkeys and domestic poultry during feeding time. This lead to an increased awareness of the disease and health monitoring protocols in wild turkey restoration programs. These protocols are still being followed today by state wildlife agencies.[4]
House finches were introduced into the eastern U.S. from California in the 1940s after being released from the pet trade that became illegal. House finches at the time were called "Hollywood finches".[5] In January 1994, the first house finches with symptoms of M. gallisepticum were observed in the Washington DC area, including part of Maryland and Virginia.[6] In the winter of 1994, an epidemic of mycoplasmal conjunctivitis caused by M. gallisepticum began in house finches.[4] In 1994, efforts were made across North America to collect data on the spread and prevalence of M. gallisepticum using the House Finch Disease Survey.[6] A few years later the epidemic that started in the mid-Atlantic states spread to the entire eastern population of house finches.[4] The only house finches to have this disease are those introduced to the eastern United States. It is believed that these house finches are less resistant to the disease because they were introduced and were highly inbred. The disease was stopped by the Rocky Mountains.[5]
M. gallisepticum infection in house finches (Carpodacus mexicanus) causes conjunctivitis with the symptoms of periocular swelling, swollen eyelids, ocular and nasal discharge, impaired vision, depression, and weight loss. These symptoms cause house finch populations to decline due to increased predation and more susceptible to trauma from impaired vision.[4] House finch conjunctivitis is most frequent during colder months when birds are using bird feeders and can cause birds to be reluctant to leave the feeders. Birds have been seen rubbing their eyes on branches or on bird feeders, which can help spread the disease.[3]
Some major clinical signs of M. gallisepticum in chickens include those of respiratory distress such as coughing, sneezing, slight to marked rales, and difficulty breathing.[7] Swollen eyelids, ocular discharge, and loss of sight are signs and symptoms that are very important for this disease as well.[5] Poor productivity, leg problems, nasal discharge, stunting, inappetance, slow growth, reduced hatchability, reduced chick viability, and abnormal feathers are also some relevant clinical signs of the disease.[8] "M. gallisepticum infections in chickens result in relatively mild catarrhal sinusitis, tracheitis, and airsacculitis."[7]
M. gallisepticum causes respiratory infection in turkeys which can induce sinusitis, pneumonia, and airsacculitis. With infectious sinusitis, the birds have symptoms of coughing, swollen sinuses, nasal and ocular discharge, tracheal rales, labored breathing, impaired vision, depression and weight loss. The disease can even cause death and found to especially occur if combined with E. coli. Outbreaks in turkeys occur at an early age usually between 8 to 15 weeks and about 90% of birds show signs.[4] With breeding females, there could be a decline in egg production. "Occasionally an encephalitic form is seen in growing birds. A tenovaginitis may also develop and the organism can be found in the oviduct and semen of infected male birds, leading to infection in the egg and eventually of the young poulty."[9]
Other avian species that have been affected by this disease are pigeons, chukar partridges, quail, ducks, geese, pheasants, psittacine birds, and peafowl. Most songbirds are resistant except for the wild house finches and some similar species in North America.[7] Some exotic birds infected by this disease include greater flamingos, wild peregrine falcons in Spain, and yellow-naped Amazon parrots.[10]
M. gallisepticum can be transmitted within some poultry eggs, which can come from infected breeders to progeny. Also, M. gallisepticum can be infected via infectious aerosols and through contamination of feed, water, and environment as well as human activity on fomites which can come from equipment and shoes.[4] When birds are stressed transmission can occur more rapidly through aerosols and respiratory which spread through the flock. When they are in a flock, transmission occurs by direct and indirect contact from the movement of the birds, people and fomites from infected species. With many outbreaks, the source of the infection in the flock is unknown. Some sources that could possibly cause infection and transmission are cold weather, poor air quality, concurrent infections, and some live virus vaccinations.[7]
The greatest success in isolating M. gallisepticum has been from tissue swabs from live trapped or newly dead birds. It is difficult to obtain a sample from frozen carcasses. Tissue swabs are taken from the inner eyelids, sinus, and trachea. Many serology tests can be performed to diagnose M. gallisepticum: serum plate agglutination (SPA) test, hemagglutination inhibition test (HI), or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The SPA test is more commonly used because it is the simplest and least expensive.[4]
M. gallisepticum causes respiratory disease and weakens the immune system which makes the bird vulnerable to any disease that they come into contact with. Small bubbles will appear in the corners of the eyes and sinuses will swell up. Once infected, they are carriers for the disease for life. Some birds have good resistance to the disease while others may die; some become ill and recover and others may not show any symptoms at all. There is currently no risk to humans. For domestic animals, there is a high concern and there should be a prevention of any interaction between wild birds and domestic poultry. Wild bird species affected by the disease are infectious and are often found in close contact with domestic species.[4]
Wildlife rehabilitators should be careful to not misdiagnose M. gallisepticum infection with other diseases with similar clinical signs, such as avian influenza, chlamydiosis, Newcastle disease, infectious bronchitis, head trauma, and avian pox virus. M. gallisepticum can be treated with antibiotics such as tylosin, tertracycline, or oral enrofloxacin with ophthalmic gentamicin. These are given through food, water or injections. Especially tylosin gives good results in the feed.[1] However, treated birds must be kept in captivity and isolation for a long time period because birds may become asymptomatic carriers. At this point, it is very difficult to verify if previously infected birds are still infected with M. gallisepticum. Treatment and release is not wise for disease control in wild populations.[4]
Mycoplasma gallisepticum is believed to cost the worldwide poultry industry over $780 million every year. In the United States it is believed to cost over $120 million on egg production alone.[2] Infection can lead to the culling of an entire flock to prevent further spread.[2]
Since the disease causes reduced feed and growth production, carcass condemnations, and retarded growth in juveniles, serious economic losses have occurred.[4] Also, chickens have been documented to lose about 16 eggs over their laying cycle of 45 weeks. This adds up to be a loss of about $140 million annually in the United States alone.[11]

Nouveau X.Org Driver Released With DRI3+Present, Maxwell, GLAMOR
Published on 01 September 2014 09:32 AM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
6 Comments
The Nouveau development community released the xf86-video-nouveau 1.0.11 driver update to kick off the start of September. While you wouldn't guess it from the version number, this driver update is actually very significant and introduces a lot of new functionality and other improvements.
First up, this new Nouveau DDX adds
support as long as you're on X.Org Server 1.16 or newer (it doesn't use the external GLAMOR library). The GLAMOR support is optional for all NVIDIA hardware as a means of accelerating 2D over OpenGL while for Maxwell hardware and future generations it's now a requirement. Like AMD with their GCN HD 7000 series hardware and newer, they're no longer writing 2D code-paths but letting their OpenGL enablement take care of everything.
With the GLAMOR support also comes the
enablement of the GeForce GTX 750 series inside Nouveau. Going back to May there's been
the Maxwell support in Nouveau's Gallium3D
within mainline Mesa and since the Linux 3.15 kernel has been
the start of open-source Maxwell support
. Nouveau Maxwell support is still evolving but they're continuing to make progress.
The xf86-video-nouveau release also has support for
server managed FDs
for supporting the X.Org Server running without root privileges. Also ushered in by this update is DRI3 and Present extension support. Other changes include vsync KMS page-flipping performance fixes (on Linux 3.13 and newer), multi-display vsync/vblank/swap/time-stamping fixes, multi X screen support fixes, Zaphod support for multiple outputs per X screen, EXA NV10 fixes, swaps are now synced to vblanks by default (using the
option in the
), and pseudo triple-buffering is now disabled by default.
The straightforward change-log can be read by
this Git commit
tagging xf86-video-nouveau 1.0.11.

NOT long ago, but in a more innocent time, restaurants and steak joints looking to carry a couple of Italian wines not in straw-covered fiascoes opted for Valpolicella and Soave.
Remember them? Both came from the Veneto, in northeastern Italy. Always together, like Damon and Pythias or Sonny and Cher. Bland, inoffensive wines that offered little and, from a customer's point of view, demanded less. All you had to know was that Soave was the white one, Valpolicella the red. Millions of gallons were pumped out by big commercial wineries, making them two of the world's best-known wines.
Since then, wine drinkers who have stepped up to better Italian wines have left Valpolicella behind. Like those straw-covered bottles, Valpolicella was something they drank when they didn't know better.
Though saddled with a name that connotes bad wine (Valpolicella actually means ''valley of many cellars''), winemakers in the region have been working to change all that. In fact, some highly praised Valpolicellas have appeared recently, enough of them to prompt the Dining section tasting panel to investigate. The panel, consisting of three regulars -- Amanda Hesser, Eric Asimov and me -- and a guest, Howard Horvath, wine director at Esca, a Manhattan seafood restaurant, found some old-style, washed-out wines, but more often than not we sipped surprisingly good ones, and at attractive prices.
''I was surprised by the brightness of the fruit, the fullness of the body,'' said Ms. Hesser after tasting 23 Valpolicellas. One reason Mr. Asimov liked them, he said, was because ''they were not tricked up, like so many American wines are.'' The winemakers, he added, ''let these wines be themselves.''
Mr. Horvath noted the two styles of Valpolicella -- the lighter ones and those with ''the guts of the big Amarone style'' -- and he added that neither one was wrong nor right. As for me, I've always liked Valpolicella as a sleeper, one that came into its own as a serious table wine a decade ago, and is now a better bargain than Tuscan wines.
There is no shortage of Valpolicella. The challenge is to find a good one. For starters, make sure that you choose a ''classico'' or ''classico superiore,'' indicating that the grapes come from the original source of Valpolicella, just north and east of Verona. The wine's success in the 1960's and 70's brought on an enormous expansion of the region that was permitted legally to call itself Valpolicella. Inevitably, expansion brought on a drop in quality. But the best wines still come from the original area and almost all these are designated classico. Those labeled superiore must meet a minimum alcohol level of 12 percent and must be aged at least a year.
The principal grapes are local varieties, the thick-skinned corvina and the more perfumed rondinella. There will be some acidic molinara, perhaps some negrara Trentina or barbera, and even a bit of regional merlot or cabernet sauvignon.
Valpolicella is not the only wine made from these grapes in the region. The best wine from the Valpolicella region is Amarone. It is made from the same grapes as Valpolicella after the best bunches have been left to dry for up to three months after the harvest, which concentrates their intensity and produces a rich, sweet wine of up to 14 percent alcohol.
This process is called recioto and is used with specially selected white grapes as well as red. Originally, the drying process was stopped when the sugar in the grapes was concentrated enough to make an intensely sweet wine. Later, the sweet concentrate of Valpolicella was allowed to ferment to dryness. The resulting wine became known as Amarone. Originally known as Recioto della Valpolicella Amarone, its formal name today is Amarone della Valpolicella. We tasted no Amarones in our exercise, but several of the wines had either had a touch of Amarone added or had gone through a process called ripasso, to give them a bit of the Amarone richness.
In ripasso, young Valpolicella is poured through the skins and pulp left over from making Amarone. Confused? So are the experts.
We tasted wines from the 1996 to 2001 vintages, with prices from a remarkably low $9 to a remarkably high $96. The average price of the 10 favorites was just under $20. Unfortunately, our most expensive bottle, a 1996 superiore from Dal Forno Romano, known as the king of Valpolicellas, was tainted from a poor cork and eliminated from the tasting.
The top scorer, with three and a half stars, was also our best value: A 2000 classico superiore from Zenato ($17) that had gone through the ripasso process. Mr. Asimov noted the Amarone style and, with Mr. Horvath, praised its long finish.
A 1998 classico superiore from Tommaso Bussola ($28) garnered three stars; it too had strong Amarone traits. Everyone loved it, but Ms. Hesser thought it needed more time. The other wines to get three stars were a 1998 classico superiore La Traversagna from Monte Faustino ($21) and a big 1996 classico superiore from Giuseppe Quintarelli ($46) that seemed almost too young to drink. Quintarelli makes Valpolicella only in the best vintages.
And that won't hurt the new reputation of Valpolicella, either.
Tasting Report: Some Like It Rich and Big, Others Prefer It Light and Lively
Zenato Valpolicella: $17
*** 1/2 [rating: three and a half stars]
Classico Superiore Ripassa 2000

We felt like we might get turned away for being too scruffy but infact were welcomed into this super fancy/stylish/posh whatever you get the idea restaurant. The menu is not huge but its bilingual and the food is interesting. We had a lovely porcini soup, a couple of drinks and a fancily presented dessert that was interesting if a little underwhelming. It came to 20 euros which was less than we expected! We,re going back to have a full meal in a couple of days time, hopefully they,ll let us in again!

Best strings for my Dreadnought
August 20, 2014
You probably want to have guitar strings that are comfortable to play on and that stays in tune for a long time. The answer to this is Elixir Nano web. Furch/Stonebridge guitars use this when guitars are delivered from factory.

Great tone, long life
July 15, 2014
These really last longer than other strings, coated or not. I actually prefer the feel of coated strings, as there's no string squeak and it's easier to move around the neck. They have very bright tone for the last couple of weeks which turns into slightly warmer but still not dull tone that lasts more.
Pros:long life, tone, feelCons:price |

Elixr Phos/Bronze Mediums
April 23, 2012
I have tried to save a buck or two, but the sound results are not worth it. I love the sound on my Taylor 315ce and will stay with the Elixr Nano strings. I do get loud low end, and really bright mids and highs. Playability is very good.

Great strings!
July 20, 2011
These are my favorite strings! I've tried all the brand of strings and to me Elixirs are the best! They have a VERY nice feel. They are nice and loud and it has a nice bright,clear tone.I recommend these strings to people who's hands sweat (causing corrosion). Life of the string is great! Bit pricey though but other that these strings are great. If you haven't tried them i suggest you do.

Nano PB lights.
February 4, 2010
These last long, have slinky feel but don't compare to others as far as snappy tone from low E and A strings. The slick feel can be nice but I like my low E and A strings to bark and growl - not these.

Phosphor Bronze nanowebs
January 21, 2010
I've tried all the available coated strings and the Elixit Nanowebs are the only ones that last as advertised and sound fantastic throughout their lifespan. I definitely prefer the phosphor bronze ones too.
Fast shipment, nice strings........thanks ... read more

Blue superfeet
I just want to know has anybody had problems with using blue superfeet in their snowboard boots? I have very flat feet and my feet and ankle tend to get sore very quickly. I was looking to buy footbeds to solve this problem, however, I was on the Superfeet website, and it indicated that "The support ridges in the bottom of the Blue cap can grind into the Gore-Tex boot lining". I was wondering if this issue will make the superfeet insole grind into my boot liners? Anybody had that problem with their blue superfeet in their boots??

This hotel is simply beautiful. The staff are fantastic, the food is very good and the rooms are simply beautiful! The location was perfect for our weekend visiting the beautiful city of Oxford followed by a Bicester shopping trip on the way home only 15 minutes from the hotel. We looked at Malmaison but thought it was too much for what it was so when we found this one at such a fab price, we booked it immediately! 15 minutes in a taxi £8-£10 to Oxtord Westside - dropped off just outside Malmai - Anonymous
I stayed a night before an interview. Carol, the landlady/ manager is very friendly, exactly the lovely hallmark character of this B&B as described by others on TripAdvisor. Friendly welcome, lovely room, comfortable and clean. It's next to Abingdon road so obviously you can hear some traffic but not disturbing. Carol even booked a taxi for next morning before others book it in panic of the snow. The breakfast was ready at 8am when I said I would have it and served warm in a clean and homel - Anonymous
Fantastic staff and room, close to the city by bus or taxi. Great value and highly recommended for anyone visiting Oxford - Matt
Very helpful owners who went out of their way to make our stay excellent. The room was very comfortable; breakfast was varied and generous. Really appreciated the central heating in the mornings and evenings and the exceptionally hot shower ! Close to city centre. We are in our 70sand we could walk there in 10 mins. - Anonymous
The overall ambience of the hotel. Friendly staff. Clean, fresh room decoration. We also enjoyed the location with a bonus of a restaurant overlooking woodland. Close to Oxford/A34 and Park and Ride but far enough away fso that road noise and city life, does not intrude. - Angus
Superb friendly staff and owners. excellent facilities. The kitchenette was fabulous. Very generous with extras like milk, cereals, bisuits. Impeccably clean. Breakfast served in rom. Wonderful. I will always go there again when in Oxford. Regular bus service to City. Runs evry 15 minutes from outside hotel. Takes 10 mins max to get there. Quiet residential area. - Sue
very friendly efficient staff. Clean room. Very good breakfast. Good value - Michaela
The young man who checked both myself and my colleague into the hotel was extremely good at Customer Service. He appreciated that we were two ladies on our own and did not disclose our room vicinity verbally but instead wrote down on a piece of paper exactly where our rooms were located due to the fact that there were 4 gentlemen checking in at the same time. The customer service and general politeness of all staff can only be commended (this includes all staff working in the Beefeater Restaura - Anonymous
Great knowledgeable staff available 24h; own cooking facilities to guests was a fantastic plus (incl. everything from fridges/freezer and cooker/ovens to pots/pants and plates/mugs/utensils)! Clean and neat decor, 2min walk from the trainstation and 5min walk from city centre so great location; wifi in the hall; different rooms for different uses such as a library, hall with wifi and tv, biljards-room, back garden with terrace, kitchen and breakfrast rooms; drinks and snacks and anything you mi - Anonymous
It was spotless clean. reception was very professional. Breakfast was served on a menu basis in a nice cosy lounge at the front of the house looking out on the road. Staff very courteous and discreet. No smell coming from the kitchen (unusual in B&Bs). Parking space for the car that they let us leave there for the whole afternoon after checking out. Location good to reach Oxford Brookes Uni. - Anonymous
Very nice room. Clean and comfortable. There were even bookshelves packed with books in the hall in case you wanted something to read. Nice touch! Location was great-short drive or bus ride to the main city. JRR Tolkien is buried in the cemetary across the street so that is a point of interest. Breakfast was adequate and nicely laid out. We had a nice stay and would definately recommend it. - Anonymous

DBX Boys' Express Adjustable Roller Skate Package 2014
Great Quality
Very sturdy, nice looking roller skates. Got them for my grandson for Christmas and he has had them on to the point of having a blister on his toe. We will get many happy trips to the skating rink out of these because of the "grow" feature.
January 4, 2015
A Good Starter Skate for Kids
Padding seems small and not extremely durable. I would have preferred to have bought better quality padding separately from the skates rather then as a package.
December 24, 2014
Awesome product!
Very Satisfied with service and products. Quick delivery and super user friendly to order online.
December 16, 2014
Perfect skates for growing children
Easy on. Love the feature that they are adjustable sizing. Plan to have these skates for years for my growing sons.
November 18, 2014
Awesome skates
My son absolutely loves these skates. He uses them outside almost every day. The only negative comment is that the rubber stopper on the front seems to be wearing down faster than expected. Love the adjustable sizes and sturdy material (other than the stopper).
September 4, 2014
very pleased
very pleased with product, also timely delivery. Would order online with another purchase in the future.
August 30, 2014
If you don't see it, just ask
My son and I went into the store to purchase some roller skates and the store we were in does not carry them in stock. Although when we asked they said we could order them. We ordered them late Friday night and they arrived Tuesday. It was nice to actually have a company say something and then deliver. The words matched the actions which I find is rare company these days.
Great customer service! Thanks Dick's we will be coming back and recommending your store.
August 11, 2014
very nice quality
Great elbow pads and knee pads, love the adjustment

Hard protective waterproof coating for high-power laser optical elements
Optics Letters, Vol. 30, Issue 24, pp. 3416-3418 (2005)
Acrobat PDF (148 KB)
We developed a new method for making a waterproof coating by photooxidation of silicone oil. The silicone oil was spin coated onto the surfaces of optical elements, i.e., a plastic lens, a laser mirror, and a nonlinear optical crystal, and then irradiated with a xenon excimer lamp in air, which transformed the organic silicone oil into an amorphous glass film. This technique has enabled an optical thin film to transmit ultraviolet rays of wavelengths below 200 nm and to exhibit the characteristics of homogeneity, high density, and resistance to environmental effects and to corrosion by water, and a Mohs scale value of 5.

A day after low cost carriers SpiceJet, Indigo and GoAir launched a fare war, Jet Airways, the country's second-largest airline with a 24.6% market share, on Tuesday announced 70-75% discounts on tickets booked till February 27 for travel between March 27 and September 30, 2014.
SpiceJet, IndiGo and GoAir are offering similar discounts for travel between April 1 and June 30. Air India, travel agents said, is matching the discounted fares in some sectors.
Experts, however, said the airlines were offering only a limited number of discounted tickets per flight and that the discounts varied depending on the date of travel. So, while a Delhi-Goa ticket costing Rs 3,737 is easily available in June, they are much more expensive for flights in April and May.Read: SpiceJet slashes fares by 75% under special offer
"Because of the limited number of discounted tickets, a family of five wanting to travel together, may not get tickets on the same flight," said Rajji Rai, chairman, Swift Travel International, a leading travel agency.
"The number of seats being offered at a discount will be different on different flights," said Sharat Dhall, president, Yatra.com.
"We have recorded an overall growth of 253% in the last 24 hours. The phenomenal growth in certain sectors has surpassed all expectations," he said.Read: AirAsia offers half-a-million free tickets on select routes
Meanwhile, Malaysian low-cost carrier AirAsia on Tuesday announced it was offering more than half a million free seats along with 1.8 million low fare promotional seats on select routes with fares starting from Rs 6,999 from Kochi, Kolkata, Tiruchirappalli, Chennai and Bangalore to Kuala Lumpur.Read: Jet joins airfare war, offers 50% discount till April 15

Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep for the PSP Review
By: AIDYsPoetry
Blogcritics.org Reviews
Published on: 9/26/2010 9:18 AM
Get ready for an explosive, action-packed addition to the Kingdom Hearts series by Square Enix games. Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep. A long-awaited prequel to the Kingdom Hearts series, definitely gives you a bit more insight into the other two stories, but does not fail to impress with new, additional storylines that will keep fans engaged for some time. The game contains three different characters and three different storylines that push the capabilities of the PSP all in a brilliantly woven package. Phenomenal graphics and smooth gameplay — even the side quests are worth spending a little extra time to complete. I expected to be disappointed having to play the game on the PSP and its smaller screen, but overall it's impressive....read the full review |

Universal Health Services, Inc. Completes Acquisition Of Ascend Health Corporation And Divestiture Of Auburn Regional Medical Center
KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa., Oct. 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Universal Health Services, Inc. (NYSE: UHS) ("UHS") announced today that it has completed the previously announced acquisition of Ascend Health Corporation ("Ascend").
UHS's strategic acquisition of Ascend enhances its behavioral health platform by adding 9 freestanding inpatient psychiatric facilities to its industry leading behavioral health portfolio. The new facilities are located in 5 states; Texas, Arizona, Utah, Oregon and Washington State and include 867 licensed beds (802 currently available and 65 under construction). On an annualized basis, the acquisition of Ascend is expected to initially generate revenues of approximately $200 million and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation & amortization ("EBITDA") of approximately $60 million and is expected to provide significant organic growth and expansion opportunities.
"We are pleased to bring Ascend and their talented professionals into the UHS Behavioral Health Division. We look forward to sharing and implementing best practices that are in place throughout the combined company to ultimately serve our patients with expanded treatment services and clinical expertise," said Debbie Osteen, President of the Behavioral Health Division.
In connection with its receipt of antitrust clearance for the transaction from the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC"), UHS has agreed to certain conditions, including the divestiture of a UHS facility in New Mexico (Peak Behavioral Health Services) within approximately six months. The revenues of this facility for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 and the twelve–month period ended December 31, 2011 were approximately $9 million and $14 million, respectively. UHS's agreement with the FTC is publicly available on the FTC's website at www.ftc.gov. UHS also announced that on October 1, 2012, it completed the previously announced sale of Auburn Regional Medical Center, a 159-bed acute care facility located in Auburn, Washington. Following these transactions, UHS owns or operates 197 behavioral healthcare facilities and 24 acute care hospitals in 37 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. About Universal Health Services, Inc.UHS is one of the nation's largest and most respected hospital companies operating, through its subsidiaries, behavioral healthcare facilities, acute care hospitals and ambulatory centers throughout the United States, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Maryland Officials Warn of Flooding, Downed Trees and Lots of Rain
By Don Rush
BALTIMORE (AP) - Maryland officials are urging travelers to watch out for the possibility of flooding across the state in coming days.
State Highway Administrator Melinda Peters said Tuesday that Maryland may be in the path of several storms that have already caused damage in other states, so officials are tracking the storms carefully. The National Weather Service is forecasting the potential for flooding throughout the state.
Maintenance crews are cleaning out drainage systems on roadsides and bridges. Crews are also preparing chain saws and chippers for any fallen tree limbs and tree professionals are on standby in each county.

The failure of the Bush administration to permit systematic reform of this nation's elections infrastructure so as to make it impossible for these manipulations to occur is bad enough.

Irena Salina's award-winning documentary investigation into what experts label the most important political and environmental issue of the 21st Century - The World Water Crisis. Salina builds a case against the growing privatization of the world's dwindling fresh water supply with a focus on politics, pollution, human rights, and the emergence of a domineering world water cartel. Interviews with scientists and activists intelligently reveal the rapidly building crisis, at both the global and human scale, and the film introduces many of the governmental and corporate culprits behind the water grab, while begging the question, can anyone really own water. Commentary by the film's Director Irena Salina and Editor Caitlin Dixon, Expanded interviews with key international experts on water privatization, political activism, and the spiritual significance of water, , Call to Resistance: Key first steps to action and links to important allies in the fight to preserve access to safe, afforadable water, Deleted scenes and water PSAs.
Examines the Earth's mounting water crisis.
Irena Salina directs this feature-length documentary about the industry and consumption of humankind's most precious resource: water. As African villages survive on potentially toxic water supplies out of sheer necessity, Salina explores how the corporate structure has come to control humanity's water supply, creating a dire situation that experts have come to refer to as the World Water Crisis. With issues of pollution, politics, and human rights all coming to a head with the issue, Salina points the finger at the specific corporate and governmental figures responsible for the crisis, and takes a look at how grassroots organizations work to fight the increasing privatization of water, hoping to end the imbalance in access to the precious resource that has already had mortal consequences for so many. ~ Cammila Collar, Rovi

Reviews for Determination |
soruchan chapter 1 . 2/8/2012 T_T I really hate Maverick... I liked the way you interpreted Barnaby's thoughts, and the fact that he actually checked on Kotetsu's pulse (because obviously Barnaby can't overlook something that important to begin with, thought it seemed to be implicit in the seies lol), thank you very much for sharing all your fics, I like a lot your POV. |
