Walking the eastern half of Rome
Without anything pressing today we decided to walk around parts of Rome that are unknown to us. We caught the bus to the Borghese Gardens and stepped off into a local market, heaps of stuff, but not anything we wanted. We discovered Piazza Mincio, an interesting area little known to tourists, it was developed by a group of Italian Architects under the leadership of Gino Coppede in the 1920s, ...
Day 9
After a hectic weekend, it was nice to have a bit of a break today! I spent the day finishing my unpacking, and then heading down to the cafe with Aunty Savina once she had finished work. The rest of this week is pretty quiet also, due to my Aunty working however on the weekend we're going to Rome which is exciting! ...
Day 4
... br>
After doing a few chores here and there, once my Aunty finished work we went to the cafe and had a chat. It's starting to get a little colder now that Winter is almost here so enjoying the cold but bearable weather while it's still here.
Only 3 days until we head off on a weekend to Naples!
Day 3
... it so much! Whilst we've been in constant contact and talk on Skype a lot of the time, it's really nice that we get to spend time together and create heaps of new memories.
Tonight we just went out to the cafe and my Aunty got her daily cappuccino and I got my crostata whilst we took Gioia (the dog) for a walk too.
Day 2
... and you can get more for your value so I'll definitely be shopping up more of a storm I'm sure!!!
After looking around at a few more shops, we went food shopping. The Supermarkets over here are unlike anything I've ever seen in Australia. They're so big, spacious and have just about any food you could ever imagine here! It's very cool. I particularly loved the fresh Mozzarella balls which were in water and the Deli which was just filled with fab ...

Julia Fiona Roberts is an award-winning actress and producer who has appeared in more than thirty films since 1987. Born and raised in Georgia on October 28, 1967, Roberts is the youngest among three children of Walter Grady Roberts and Betty Lou Roberts. Both her parents were playwright and actors and met while performing in the armed forces. Robert's parents later co-founded an acting school in Atlanta called Atlanta Actors and Writers Workshop. Having her parents' talent in acting, she and her older brother Eric pursued acting careers and started from uncredited roles in 1987. Two years later, she earned her first nomination in the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in the movie Steel Magnolias. The movie also made her earn her first Golden Globe Award win for Best Supporting Actress.
In 1990, she had her breakthrough in the film industry and became America's Sweetheart with her movie Pretty Woman (1990) with Richard Gere. The movie was a box office success becoming one of the highest-grossing romantic comedy films of all time. Roberts' role made her earn a nomination as Best Actress in the Academy Award and a second win in the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress. The movie opened a lot of acting opportunities for Roberts and it made her the highest-paid actress in the world starting from the 1990s up to the early half of the 2000s. In 2001, Roberts earned an Oscars as Best Actress for her movie Erin Brockovich, which is adapted from the true story of Erin Brockovich, a single mother who help won the direct lawsuit case against the PG&E.
Following her breakthrough, Roberts has appeared in several films with different genres. Being a versatile actress, she is good in portraying a diverse array of characters regardless of the genre of the film she's in.

I used StarSan for the first time a week ago to bottle my brown ale, and certainly had that gut instinct of, "YOU'RE NOT GOING TO PUT BEER IN THOSE FOAMY BOTTLES ARE YOU?!?!"
You work so hard to formulate recipes, mash just right, ferment at good temps, and then to put it on the foam is unnerving despite how many stories and pictures you've read/seen. Anyway, I fought through it and didn't listen to that voice in my head telling me to rinse.
So is there a term in homebrewing for "fearing the foam?"
I've read that the foam can actually act as a yeast nutrient in small amounts.
' So is there a term in homebrewing for "fearing the foam?" '
Yes, 'Paranoid'.
Foam is your friend!
In the rational part of my head, I love the foam. I know it actually becomes yeast nutrient and won't affect the beer. But the irrational, emotional attachment I have is there is no way this can be good. Luckily, I used the former instead of the latter when bottling.
I'm embarrassed to admit this, but on my last batch I accidentally left about 1/2 gallon of starsan solution in my fermenter and put 5 1/2 gallons of bitter on top of it and pitched the yeast. I ferment in a 1/4 bbl sanke and noticed that it looked a little too full and realized what I had done . I decided to let it ferment an see how it would turn out. It fermented like crazy an actually turned out really good, just slightly watered down. I don't plan on ever doing that again, but I'm glad it turned out OK.
I don't know if I'm the only one, but I heard the phrase "don't fear the foam" way before I ever started using StarSan and I've never had a problem with it. I have never had any problems with the foam (subconsciously). Although, I will admit that I do try to shake as much foam out of my fermenters/kegs as I can, but that's just so the beer won't displace it and put foam all over my floor.
Plus it is so pretty. Or at least fun to look at.http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f85/stup...r-foam-127044/
Like my snazzy new avatar? Get Sons of Zymurgy swag, here, and brew with the best.Revvy's one of the cool reverends. He has a Harley and a t-shirt that says on the back "If you can read this, the bitch was Raptured. - Madman
I gotta tell ya, just between us girls, that Revvy is HOT. Very tall, gorgeous grey hair and a terrific smile. He's very good looking in person, with a charismatic personality... he drives like a ****ing maniac! - YooperBrew
I had that same moment last night when I was making a starter for this week's English ale. When I checked this morning, the yeasties took the foam and threw a big party!
I know it's supposed to be OK. but I still try and get as much out as possible.
I always hear how you don't want to introduce oxygen into your
beer, and can't help but thinking about those star san bubbles. I mean they must be filled with air which is a no good for beer.
So when I fill a keg I take a spoon and scoop out the foam off the top before I put the lid on.
so call me paranoid

Enjoying Thanksgiving One Bite at a Time Through 'Mindful Eating'
Those of us who are lucky enough to have the option of indulging this Thanksgiving will eat, and eat, and eat some more -- and then sit around a lot.

Reporter Rachael Myrow found a class in Marin County that teaches "mindful eating," which urges us to slow down, and put down our knife and fork.

As soon as I arrived there myself and other tourists visiting for the first time where taken on an induction showing us around the area and giving us some information about the zoo.

Inquiry into economic migration to the EUEconomic 1.7
1. There should not be a common EU policy on economic migration. The principle of subsidiarity dictates that labour market policy should remain an area of competence for national governments. If a common EU policy on economic migration is adopted, the UK should exercise its opt-out in respect of it. Failure to opt out would result in a serious loosening of British immigration controls which could well place a strain on community relations.
2. The admission of self-employed economic migrants should be based on a proven entrepreneurial track record or a capital investment.
3. Member States that are experiencing a considerable net inflow or outflow of workers as a result of EU enlargement must be free to determine levels of economic migration from outside the EU accordingly.
4. The Community preference principal should be maintained but it should apply only to long-term residents (irrespective of citizenship). This is absolutely essential to ensure that if other member states open up their labour markets to non-EU workers then it does not, by default, become a back door route to entry to the UK. We would suggest a minimum residence qualification of 10 years.
5. In the absence of such a minimum qualifying period, there should be a common EU policy namely that such amnesties should not take place, since they encourage further illegal immigration and may have consequences for other Member States.
6. An ethical framework should be established to protect third countries from and compensate them for the loss of skilled workers. This framework should be co-ordinated with overseas aid policy.
7. In considering whether to opt into a common EU policy, the Government's chief considerations should be the needs of the economy and community relations. The reality is that Britain is already second only to Holland as the most crowded country in the EU; it does not need large scale immigration. This might well be the effect of opting in and would lead to a serious social strains.
Should there be a common EU policy on economic migration?
8. Article 63(3) TEC provides for the Council to adopt "measures on immigration policy within the following areas: a) conditions of entry and residence, and standards on procedures for the issue by Member States of long term residence visas and residence permits". This need not be construed as a mandate for the progressive harmonisation of labour migration throughout the European Union, which is the meaning placed on it in the Green Paper.
9. Despite the implementation of Economic and Monetary Union (EMU), the labour market needs of national economies within the EU reflect different conditions in each Member State, including: demographics; education; the balance between economic sectors; stage in the business cycle; levels of unemployment and economic inactivity; and also, for Member States that are not members of the euro zone, interest rates. Economic migration is thus a competence that is better exercised at Member State level, and the principle of subsidiarity should apply.
10. Whether economic benefit accrues to the host community from economic migration depends on its characteristics. Studies of economic migration do not produce uniform results; for example, a recent publication by the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) [1] suggests that "the fiscal impacts of immigrants are relatively healthier than the UK-born", but admits that "Net fiscal impacts only represent part of the economic impacts of immigration". No major studies encompassing the overall economic impact of economic migration have been undertaken in the UK, but a study by the Netherlands Bureau for Economic Policy Analysis, part of the Dutch Ministry for Economic Affairs, concluded in a study of June 2003 that labour immigration has the following effects:
|GDP will increase, but that increase will accrue largely to the immigrants in the form of wages;
|The overall net gain in the income of the host population is likely to be small and may even be negative.
These results are similar to those of major studies in The US and Canada. They all indicate that the economic benefits of large scale immigration are very limited - of the order of 0.1% of GDP per head per year. In the UK that is approximately 25.
11. Furthermore, immigration is a policy area that is highly sensitive to public opinion and it is liable to affect community relations. Such considerations are better taken account of at national level, since both relate to political cultures and patterns of ethnicity that are specific to individual Member States.
12. If a common EU policy on economic migration is adopted, the United Kingdom should exercise its opt-out under the Title IV Protocol agreed at the Treaty of Amsterdam. The exercise of this opt-out would be essential to maintaining the effectiveness of the UK's border controls and of its opt-out from the Schengen Agreement. Furthermore, a common EU policy on economic migration is unlikely to suit conditions in the UK for the following reasons:
a) demographics: Total fertility rates (TFR) vary widely across the EU. The UK, along with France and the Scandinavian countries, has fertility rates which are significantly above EU averages but Germany and the Southern European nations and many of the new EU members from Eastern Europe have very low fertility rates. The following bar chart shows the TFR for selected EU states: [2] The latest data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) shows the UK's TFR increasing further to 1.78 and increases are also reported from France where it is thought that the TFR is now close to the replacement level of 2.05.
The impact of this variation on future population is significant. The following graph shows the pattern of population growth/decline which would take place in these countries, and in the EU as a whole, if there were no migration. As can be seen the population of the UK would only start to decline from about 2030 and even by 2051 it would be at 95% of its current level. In contrast the population of Germany would start to reduce in the near future and it would lose 25% of its population by 2051. These different demographic trends point to very different immigration needs across the EU states.
b) population density: the UK has a population density of over twice the EU average. Most immigration is concentrated on England (and London and the South-East in particular) and England has a population density of over 3 times the EU average and second only to the Netherlands and Malta in the 25 nation EU. Appendix 1 shows the population densities of the EU states. Congestion is therefore a much more significant factor in the UK than elsewhere and points to a very clear need for the UK to be able to limit immigration by controlling its own borders and having its own immigration policy.
c) historical flows: the UK has traditionally experienced and continues to experience considerable migration from the Commonwealth and the English-speaking world with which we have close cultural and linguistic ties. In the 10 years from 1994-2003 nearly half of all immigration to the UK was from these countries. [3]
d) EU labour market: unemployment rates vary significantly across the EU, from less than 5% in Ireland, Luxembourg, Austria and the UK to 9.8% in France and Germany and over 18% in Poland. [4] This again points to very different immigration needs across the EU
e) national labour market geography: deprived parts of the UK still suffer from high levels of unemployment and economic inactivity. National policy has sought to address these geographical inequalities. Now that EU structural funds have largely been redirected away from the UK's deprived areas, it is more likely that a coherent policy approach to tackling these inequalities can be formulated at national level;
f) social consequences: many of the UK's existing immigrant communities are well established in British society but present rates of immigration are already producing strains. It is essential that immigration policy be retained at national level and carefully managed so as to avoid jeopardising community relations.
Do the same considerations apply to self-employment as to employment?
13. No. Any common EU policy on economic migration by the self-employed should be aimed at economic stimulation and based on either an entrepreneurial track record or a capital investment within EU territory by the applicant. The presentation of a business plan is insufficient to show that a self-employed individual will benefit the prospective host community.
To what extent do enlargement and free access to the labour market for workers from the new Member States affect a common policy?
14. Enlargement and free access to the labour market for workers from the new Member States mean that some of the existing Member States, such as the UK, are experiencing a considerable net inflow from the EU and conversely, some of the new Member States, such as Poland, are experiencing a considerable net outflow. It is essential, therefore, for Member States to be able to adjust their national policies on economic immigration from outside the EU in order to take account of the intra-EU flows, over which they have no control except for the temporary retention of labour market restrictions as provided for by the accession treaties.
Should the "Community Preference" principle be maintained? Should it apply to third country nationals legally resident in the EU and, if so, to all workers or only long-term residents?
15. Yes, the Community Preference principle should be retained. By giving preference to resident and Community workers, the principle helps to prevent the depression of wages by an expansion of the labour supply from third countries through immigration policy. It should, however, apply only to long-term residents of the EU. There is a risk otherwise that other EU states which decide to operate a policy of liberal access to their labour markets will open up a back door route for entry into the UK. This would pose a particular risk to the UK because of its special attraction as a gateway to the English-speaking world and because of its traditional ties to many developing countries.
Should there be a common EU policy on the "regularisation" of illegal workers (amnesties)?
16. The only common policy that is required is one that limits the rights of free movement and access to labour markets to long-term legal residents, for example those who have been legally resident for at least 10 years. Failing that, there should be a common EU policy against amnesties of illegal workers. Amnesties are an expedient short-term measure which tends to encourage further illegal economic migration in the long term by shifting the balance of risk in favour of such migration. Further, an amnesty in one Member State may affect other Member States since those subject to the amnesty will enjoy free movement rights thereafter.
Should measures be taken to protect third countries from - or compensate them for - the loss of skilled workers?
17. Yes, an ethical framework for recruitment from and fair compensation of third countries for the loss of valuable human capital should be co-ordinated with overseas aid policy in order that economic migration may be conducted on a responsible and sustainable basis that does not undermine development efforts.
What considerations should the Government take into account in deciding whether to opt into a common EU policy?
18. The major considerations should be the distinctive nature of the British economy. Unlike some EU partners, Britain simply does not need large scale immigration. Furthermore, public opinion is opposed to any ceding of competence by Parliament in the field of immigration. The loss of such control could threaten community relations - an outcome that is to be strenuously avoided.

Paul Goldschmidt drove the ball into the left field corner and made the mistake of thinking it would be an easy double. Starling Marte had other ideas, and nailed Goldschmidt by so much that you wonder why he bothered to slide. Here's a link to the full video -- it's worth your time to check it out. I'm not going to invoke the name on the wall in right field, but this highlight wouldn't look out of place on those highlight reels.

Jonathan Broxton came in to pitch the eighth, with the Reds leading 2-1. With two outs, the first Brewer (Aoki) reached on a softly-hit, 55-foot grounder down the third-base line. Unlucky. Aoki then attempted to steal second. He got a decent jump, but a good throw would have nailed him. Unfortunately, Navarro's throw was not good, and it ended up in right-center field.

Judging by the difference in Adam Wainwright's ERA of his first 11 starts -- 6.26 -- and of his most-recent 11 starts -- 3.52 -- an observer might conclude that the Cardinal ace is indeed pitching differently. But look at his expected fielding-independent pitching and you'll find that the disparity isn't all that big: 3.64 and 2.67. Check out his game log using ERA alongside FIP and xFIP...

This is my first time on the Little Red Wagon and it's been interesting cleaning it up and figuring out how all works. The door hinges look like they'll work, but I'm debating replacing the plastic pin with a brass one drilled into the plastic hinge. It might be a bit more rugged. The door hinges, tail light buckets and rear bulkhead have been fitted to the body and glued. It's sure been some work cleaning this up .. most is ready for some paint!
I also plan to cut the engine cover and hinge the top so the engine is more visible. Just the stock engine is going in. The bottom side of the seats had to be filled as they'll be visible with the cover open ... that's the ONLY real bodywork so far!

First, there are players on every team that 'embellish' calls. On the Habs I would say PK and Pleks could fit into that category on occasion. But perhaps it's perceived as necessary by the players because of all the non-calls...might as well try something. Secondly, it is magnified in Montreal because of the pure hatred by the english national media outlets (tsn, SN, cbc) towards the Habs. Let's not even talk about the broons and John Stewart's masterpiece on their work. The Habs tied for 2nd with 50 minor penalties against so far. Versus 32 penalties for their opposition. I love it when Hab haters spew falseties about the Habs 'getting all the calls'.

So according to the Masterton preamble, Alfie returned from near career ending back surgery, Lupul survived 2 back surgeries and a near fatal blood infection and Max "returned from an injury". Bettman's fingers are all over that statement.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Germany OK, 'Peg great: Wheeler
European stint just a nice diversion for Jets winger
First things first -- Blake Wheeler will readily admit his German adventure was most excellent.
Munich, where he spent a good chunk of his lockout days with the Red Bulls of the German Elite League, is a cosmopolitan, world-class city. And while there, he learned some key Bavarian phrases, like:
"First one is Servus, which is like Bavarain greeting," began the Winnipeg Jets winger on Friday. "You walk into the locker-room and everybody says 'Servus.' It's kind of the same as a 'Hey, what's up guys?'
"Then there's Morgen or Guten morgen, which is morning or good morning. And, of course, there is Prost! which is a German toast like 'Cheers!'
"That's a cultural thing. They love their beer there."
But here's the thing: As much as the Jets' leading scorer from last season enjoyed Germany, he -- like just about every other player who pulled on Jets colours a year ago -- absolutely couldn't wait to get back to work right here in little ol' River City.
And so Thursday, when 19 players took to the freshly painted ice at the MTS Centre, had a first-day-of-school feel to it.
"There's a lot of smiles and fun faces in here right now," said Wheeler as a media posse worked its way around the Jet dressing room. "Everyone is so excited about being back. It was a tough stretch there for everyone. All the guys are just so happy to have that behind us and to be back and playing the game we love.
"I don't want to say we took it for granted before, but when you lose something like that you really learn what you had. The guys know we have a good thing going here and that's why we're truly happy to be back."
And, of course, there's another connection in play here. Wheeler's stint in Munich was temporary. It's in Winnipeg where he is not only carving out a career, but going to battle every day with teammates all chasing the same thing. That may sound cornball, but it's real.
"Here we're all kind of building toward something together. It's been a process," he said. "We're all working our way up to something. That's what makes this game fun: Trying to figure out how to win as a team and push yourself to the ultimate goal. That's what we're doing here."
Evander Kane and Kyle Wellwood are expected to be in Winnipeg on Friday in advance of the anticipated opening of NHL training camps on Sunday, following the ratification vote by the players. That would just leave KHLers Nik Antropov and Alex Ponikarovsky and junior star Mark Scheifele as the last three yet to report.
That crew of players also included defencemen Paul Postma and Zach Redmond and forwards Spencer Machacek and Maxime Macenauer, all of whom have been called up from the St. John's IceCaps.
Jets head coach Claude Noel and his staff cannot be on the ice with the team until the new CBA is in place and so J.P. Vigier -- the former NHLer who has been training the crew at the MTS Iceplex during the lockout -- ran a spirited practice on Friday.
All this means the Jets, just like their 19 NHL rivals, will have little time to gear up for their opener, a matinee on Saturday, Jan. 19 versus the Ottawa Senators.
"I can't wait," said Wheeler, whose wife gave birth to their first son, Louie, back in October. "All of us are just chomping at the bit to get back out here. Everyone felt (the lockout) had gone on too long and it had gotten to be a little bit of a joke, almost. We were just really happy to get back on the ice and do what we love to do.
"That first game is going to be pretty special."

DST Systems sheds noncore assets, focuses on data
- James Dornbrook
- Reporter- Kansas City Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | LinkedIn | Google+
DST Systems Inc.'s core business includes processing transactions for mutual fund companies. But the Kansas City-based company is likely to work on a few transactions of its own in the coming year as it looks to sell noncore assets and boost its stock price.
For many years, DST used its free cash flow to invest in real estate, stock and private equity. Investors, however, increasingly wanted DST to be more transparent about what it owns and to look more like a data processing company.
Stephen Hooley, who became CEO in September after longtime CEO Tom McDonnell announced his retirement, appears to be complying.
On Nov. 29, Leawood-based Euronet Worldwide Inc. announced it had reached an agreement with DST to buy back 1.88 million shares of its stock for $41 million. Earlier in the year, DST shed about half of its ownership stake in privately owned Asurion LLC for $140 million.
Peter Heckmann, an analyst with Avondale Partners LLC, expects DST to continue this trend in 2013.
"Our read is that (new CEO Hooley) intends to divest some of these noncore assets and use the proceed to buy back stock, reduce debt levels as well as potentially make some strategic acquisitions of operating businesses that complement the core business," Heckmann said.
"So, increasingly, DST is going to be easier to understand. There will no longer be these hard-to-value assets on the balance sheet. It's going to have significantly less leverage. They'll look a lot more like their data processing peers, who typically trade at higher multiples."
DST's stock currently trades for about five times its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). Its peers trade for about seven or eight times EBITDA.

Wichita St.-Notre Dame Preview
CLEVELAND (AP) The blessing of being the son of an Olympic athlete meant Mike Brey grew up in a house where excellence wasn't requested from his mother, but required.
It brought its own sense of pressure, one that Brey says fueled his rise from gym rat to Notre Dame head coach.
"To be around that intensity every day, maybe it wasn't the healthiest," Brey said with a laugh. "I'll probably need therapy later in life because of it, but I'll tell you one thing: she made me think about competing every day."

I worked at American Association for Clinical Chemistry full-time (less than a year)Pros
Friendly staff and bosses
Finishing work that feels very meaningful
Great place for those interested in health and medicine
Pays well for an intern
Working on projects that you are interested inCons
Tedious research projects
Confusing jargon (but you get used to it and it's always nice to expand your vocabulary)
Sometimes you want to do more for the team but it's hard to when they don't need you for some of the material that you have studied at schoolAdvice to ManagementAdvice
I think the upper management is great. They talk to you when they need to and if that's not the case, it's usually just being friendly and joking around. I helped out more than just one department but I think each department was great.RecommendsNeutral Outlook

I have been working at American Association for Clinical ChemistryPros
The benefits aren't bad. That's the only reason to work there--particularly one department with turnover that is beyond anything you could imagine, because of the very unpleasant manager. Also, be sure that the business of clinical laboratory news is something you are truly interested in. But nothing is worth having a vindictive, inscrutable, incompetent manager who makes you hate waking up in the morning. I very much regret taking the position, and the same is true of most people who have held the job.Cons
Like having errors inserted in your writing? Like being talked to like a schoolchild? Or hearing racist terms? Being constantly second-guessed and blamed for things you didn't do? Then by all means, work for this particular department of AACC. There is huge turnover in this certain department, which produces a certain newsletter. We're talking exactly 15 people in two positions in 10 years (four just in 2008). Managers at AACC are treated like federal employees--to be kept on no matter the misbehavior. Other employees, however--both exempt and non-exempt--are treated as expendable. And HR always takes the side of the manager, no matter what evidence there is of mismanagement and unprofessionalism on her or his part.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Remove managers whose turnover in their departments is unduly high, who have a history of making inappropriate comments, or whose publication shows a pattern of revenue loss.Doesn't Recommend

How to get a cutting of root stock to root
begoniarob(8B/9A)February 22, 2014
I went to a grafting class and we learned how to graft apple trees. They started with root stock MM111 and clipped the top to make space for the cleft graft--the instructor asked if we wanted to take the top portion of the root stock and try to get it to root. So I did.
But, I don't know how to have a cutting of root stock root?
Can I put it in a plastic bag in sunny spot inside with some moist sphagnum moss?
