Hi I recently bought a new pc (specs: Windows 7,1TB Hard drive, 8gb Ram, I7 Processor and Nvidia gtx 560ti graphics card). I have bought three different games all of which minimise and exit to desktop every 2 or 3 minutes. Does anyone have an idea of what the problem might be and how to fix it? (I will post this in the help forum aswell in case someone can help there) Thanks

Having an anti virus or spyware programme running at the same time can cause this problem. Especially AVG. Try shutting down or disabling any security software you have running whilst you play, and see if it makes a difference.

Or do you have a slideshow running as your wallpaper? This will minimize your game every time it changes.

21 February we have an interesting situation astronomically, with Venus both conjunct Mars (at the same zodiacal degree) and also contra-parallel (each at the same distance from but on opposite sides of the celestial equator). This suggests a built-in struggle between the two energies, which on the surface appear to be together (the conjunction). It may mimic the way those same energies will meet internally (interaction and Self-Will, receptivity and action) or externally (a man and woman, being active while another person is passive, or vice-versa) and clash at a fundamental level. For the individual it may be like having one's foot on the gas and on the brake at the same time; In interaction with others, it may be like a ballet dancer and a football player who want to team up—their methods, techniques, and ways of interacting are so very different that, though they intend for each to apply their skills in the same game, there's no one game that suits them both. So, receptivity draws aggression, Love draws anger, Money draws Action, Jealousy draws temper, greed emphasizes individual wants—you get the picture—and of course this is happening in the first degree of Aries, where Mars is at home and Venus is not, suggesting that the easy go-to in uncomfortable situations may be lashing out or taking off. The only way forward may be to walk into any venture with the awareness that you will have contradictory urges within yourself to deal with, and that in any cooperative situation you will be fundamentally taking a different, even opposite, approach or viewpoint than the other party. Too, this aspect set may breed discord in spousal, romantic, or partnership relations, and turning away from individual interactions, we'll likely find that the social sphere isn't receptive, either.

15 February some serious, serious power issues are front and center, and it's up to each of us whether this will be expressed as coercion, a clash, or a negotiation. Territory is being staked out, even if it doesn't appear that this is so; people are trying to establish a foothold, even a realm, and the values they express while doing so are more than a little driven by their 'blind spot' issues. That means they'll be clear about what they want, but not about the real reasons they want it. (Perfecting Today: Pluto conjunct Ceres, Earth quincunx Mars, Venus sextile Sedna)
And a little Lunar essence, for the 16th:
6 AM PST of the 16th the Capricorn Moon sextiles Venus and trines Sedna. If there's any point today when you can trust the emotional and intuitive prompts as much as the instinctive nature, it's at this point; in fact, you may be pointed in the direction of Love and/ or Money. Noon the Moon is sextile Mars and quincunx Earth. This is an interesting window when we may make choices and act successfully, but without realizing how the material environment will adjust or need to be adjusted as a consequence. Just be aware that you won't entirely see the potential outcomes ahead of time. Void begins at 12:47 PM PST; the Moon enters Aquarius at 4:14 PM Pacific time. 8 PM PST the Moon conjuncts Mercury. The mind may race with higher vibration concepts; bring them down-to-Earth (and make them relate-able) by translating through the emotional lens. 11 PM PST the Moon sextiles Saturn, connecting us to the reality situation through attention to our emotional reactions. This can inform our thinking in a very positive way.
These are excerpts from the now unavailable-to-new-subscribers ECLIPSE. See my books here. Thanks, and have a great week!

Void begins at 10:17 PM of the 6th; the Moon enters Libra at 10:44 AM PST of the 7th. 3 PM PST the Moon trines retro Mercury. Emotions propel words, but we end up endlessly re-thinking what we've said; try to slow down the pipeline between feeling and speaking. 5 PM PST the Moon sextiles Saturn. Emotional perceptions guide us in dealing successfully with the reality picture. 9 PM PST the Moon trines Vesta. We can express our highest values (and deepest feelings) in partnership at this time; it's easy to see how we, and everyone else, really feels. 11 PM PST the Moon sextiles Juno and the two form a base to a Finger of God with apex Neptune. An empowering command of our emotions (knowing what we feel and why) can act as a foundation for realizing the dream.
The image for the 7th is a big diamond with a very tiny flaw. Is the diamond spoiled because it's not perfect? Most people would still find it beautiful. What in your life has only tiny flaws that you may be fixated on, which prevents you from enjoying your 'diamond's' true beauty?
8 February: why is it that, though we are optimistic about our ambitions and desires, and all signs are 'Go!' we still find that personal relationships are a minefield, fraught with little bombs hidden in the weaknesses of our 'blind spot'? Concentrate on making ambitions happen, and leave relationships for a day when interactions are less driven by the darker side of instincts and injuries. (Perfecting today: Jupiter sextile Zeus, Venus conjunct Chiron and contra-parallel Sedna)

25 January our own Willfulness can cause problems, and erratic behavior by ourselves or others in relationships or with money creates negative changes to our life direction. It's good to know that difficulties are seated in imprudent action, rather than in anything we can't prevent—the odd thing is, we have a clear picture of the current reality, and our thoughts and plans are centered on what we value and care about—so why does doing something, anything, seem to go so wrong? Temper and irresponsibility play their parts; so does Merc retro, which means that, though we think clearly, succinctly, and plan successfully, we can't adequately convey that, nor are we suited to going forward in any way with implementing these thoughts. Take note of thoughts and plans, for they can be very informative and useful later, but save taking action for another day. (Perfecting today: Mars quincunx Juno, Venus semi-square Uranus and sesquiquadrate the North Node, Mercury parallel Venus, Sun parallel Saturn)
Today's image is a trapeze artist, blindfolded. Of course, that makes sailing from one bar to the other that much tougher–but presumably, those who engage in trapeze work are so familiar with what they must do, that their bodies can carry out the right moves at the right time, without too much conscious interference. What are you being called to do that seems a little scary, a little tricky, but that if you allow sense and muscle memory to do their thing, it will go very well?
Just a Little Lunar Essence: the Sabians for the Full Moon 4 January 2015

Full Moon occurs on the 4th at 14 Cancer 30 at 8:52 PM Pacific time
The Sabian for the Full Moon is, 'In A Sumptuous Dining Hall Guests Relax After Partaking Of A Huge Banquet'. We've gorged ourselves on the results of our own behaviors, 'served up' to us by the Universe. This image only emphasizes that what we have in front of us to choose from at this time is directly related to what we have chosen and made ourselves—if we've gone too 'rich', too extreme in diet, we're sickened or weakened, if low on nutrients we don't have the energy or attention span needed, and so on, analogous to the idea that what we take in is what we use to build what comes out, and that the diet we speak of here is the way we use our energy and the choices that we've made.
The Sun, giver of life and core of our system, has its own Sabian, always worth a look as it provides the Full Moon light: 'In A Hospital, The Children's Ward Is Filled With Toys'. This suggests something a little odd: that perhaps here on Earth we are all 'in hospital' in a sense; we are here to heal, and even in a place where recovering wholeness is the aim, there are things that delight and distract us from our purpose. If we are clever, we can make our play part of (even the centerpiece of) our healing, combining our purpose with enjoyment, even within the confines of a place full of suffering and hurt.

Just a little from my New Moon assessment, part of the ECLIPSE subscription package; to see it all, please subscribe!
New Moon on 21 December at 5:36 PM Pacific time at 00 Capricorn 06: Self-Possession
Even with generous orbs we only get New Moon contact in two notable ways: a trine to Black Moon Lilith, and a sesquiquadrate to Juno, and it also squares the Aries Point, suggesting the importance of the NM in a way the aspects don't reveal, such that what occurs may be life-altering. A NM is an inception, but what is born here? In Capricorn we're talking about energies of a constructive nature, perhaps of containment or for forming boundaries. The Lilith aspect says this Moon could act like a funnel, bringing forward every ignored or hidden matter, forcing us to begin to deal with them. It could also birth a Lilithian rage, a need to condemn every injustice we've suffered. And it could bring us to a point of accepting our position as we find ourselves, and then giving us the cojones to walk away from whatever we find unacceptable, in terms of our dignity, our honor, or our Self-respect. This definitely impacts our empowerment situation, but in a very specific way: we are at a point of complete Self-possession, so that any clout we got from partnerships, status, or through others may be endangered because we won't see ourselves as interdependent anymore. This can be good—we will never again allow anyone to mistreat us—or bad—we could throw out our babies (relationships, financial arrangements, jobs, reciprocal situations) with our insistently independent bathwater (I'll bet those three words have never appeared together in that order in a sentence before).

Just a Little AstroEssence + the Daily Word Image 30 November 2014: An Emotional Golem
29 Saturday Nov 2014
Posted astrology, current events in the sky, ECLIPSE magazine, The Daily Word Imagein
≈ Comments Off
30 November our own minds, what we imagine, might turn out to be our own worst enemy—we may frighten ourselves with extrapolations and 'What If?' and may be far too quick to credit the past as better, smarter, and as holding the keys to success in the future. No, that's not right. Bring everything valuable from the past but realize that it must take a new shape to go into the future; then, if you can clear the mind of fear, harness creative visualization to draw a picture of precisely what you want—attractive quality is strong right now, and so must be turned toward what will be, not used to generate boogey men. (Venus trine the South Node and sextile NN-Zeus, Mercury square Neptune)
Today's image is a golem, made of clay, animated by what frightens us. The word means "unshaped form" and hints that what pursues, torments, troubles, and seems to bedevil us from without are really just those things we strongly fear; fear carries a charge that can invest inanimate material with life, and so deliver what we are most scared of right to us. Consider how differently those things that frighten us appear when we realize we are generating them ourselves, animating them with negative energy, and sending them out to chase us with a loud 'Boo!' Not so scary, anymore, are they? The image echoes Merc square Neptune, described in its current scenario above.
ECLIPSE, my subscription service that features Daily forecasts and a Weekly with articles and more, will be ending in its present form on 1 July 2015. Anyone interested in a new subscription: sign up now and receive the entire time through the end date for the new subscription price–that's 7 months +–I won't be accepting any new subscribers or re-ups from lapsed subscriptions after 1 January 2015.

The book will be for sale through Dog & Sunflower Press after that point. So, the 6th year of ECLIPSE begins and ends in 6 short months–Thank you All for a wonderful run!!

2 November our individual Will doesn't mesh well with the dictates of the social circle, and attempts to acquire knowledge, branch out, expand horizons, or get more don't go smoothly. It's doubly frustrating because we see what we want, what we value, and know it's available—apparently to everyone but us. The problem is we're thinking too much along the lines of ambition fulfillment, and not enough about the needs and expectations of those around us. If we can include others in an 'everybody wins' scenario, we just might get what we're aiming for. (Mars sesquiquadrate Jupiter, Mercury parallel Zeus, Sun parallel Venus)
Everybody wins when you subscribe!

astrology, ECLIPSE magazine, Moon in Scorpio, My Weekend Astro Diary, The Astro Essence, The Lunar Essence
A Little Lunar Essence for 27 September: 4 AM PDT the Scorpio Moon sextiles Pluto. It's time to purge! –the emotions, the pipeline to intuition, and the Self of secrets that are weighing us down. Just let it out. 10 AM PDT the Moon trines Chiron and quincunxes Uranus. We are attuned to hurt, but if we make a conscious effort, we can turn that energy toward healing, it's polar opposite–all we need to apply is a unique, original, or unusual approach that allows us to take a view beyond our wounds. Noon the Moon squares Jupiter. Experiences in the social sphere are not the best–stick with what you know, and what you're sure of. 5:30 PM PDT the Moon conjuncts Ceres. We are in touch with Mother Nature, Gaia, our own sense of authority, and can negotiate purely by 'feel' should we need or want to. 9 PM PDT the Moon conjuncts Saturn and semi-sextiles Pallas. Restraint is smart–it's that simple.
And a Little AstroEssence for the 28th: Our priorities and interests seem contrary to those of the social circle, and what info we learn or knowledge we glean may be destructive in its effects or concentrated on gaining or holding onto power. Efforts at expansion and control of others or our surroundings seem to threaten what we truly care about—so we step away, thinking we can avoid a problem, but instead find we've misunderstood the stakes involved. Stick to facts and adjust efforts to focus on material changes, results, and solid, working-with-reality matters; assume that you are operating under at least a few illusions, that the worth of things is fuzzy at best, and proceed with that kind of caution in mind. (Perfecting today: Vesta contra-parallel Jupiter and semi-square Pluto, Sun quincunx Neptune and contra-parallel Venus, Earth sesquiquadrate Saturn)
A brief article from the Weekly:
More on Eclipses: Expectations
Too often we approach eclipses as some kind of change-your-luck, reach-the-holy-grail, wash-away-your sins kind of astrological event. They are nothing more than New and Full Moons where we just happen, from our vantage point on Earth, to witness one body blocking another, and so cutting off that body's light. Is that a big deal astrologically? Yes and no—it can signify big, even Earth-shaking, changes and wipe-outs, new starts and major endings, but we have to get past this idea that this kind of massive re-model of our potentials and our lives will occur at each eclipse set.
It's really as rare as any other lightning strike or lottery win; we'll have a few of those scattered through life, but mostly eclipses will represent the more subtle or less monumental changes that are part and parcel of every day living. Too much concentration on eclipses as super-powerful comes too close to endowing them with a magical effect they really don't (and can't) have—and it's not a good way to look at the Universe, as if we are waiting for externals to rescue us, or bring us something mystical or extraordinary that will change our lives—really, we have to do the changing ourselves.
We must also remember that even though we are fixated on certain life subjects, that doesn't mean an eclipse set will address them; sometimes it does, but just as often it points us in another direction entirely. This is a clue to us that the Universe doesn't necessarily see our agenda as the important one—and maybe hints that what we are finding important in the moment isn't really important at all. If you'll let them, eclipses will help steer you in the direction of what you're really facing, and what your real opportunities are.

For 20 September: empowerment at this particular time comes from facing it all (even what we'd rather not), standing up for ourselves and our right to be respected, and involves a willingness to at least question those things we typically consider sacred—they might need a fresh, objective look—and any ways in which we've been bending over backward to maintain harmony with the mate or on the home front may also need to be examined. We may have bent too much, thought of ourselves too little—and if we don't see our needs now, rebellion against those we see as holding power or authority over us may rear its head. What we don't want to do is fall into patterns of ego or temper from the past—these will get us nowhere in a hurry. Dark of the Moon begins late PM Pacific time. (Perfecting today: Black Moon Lilith parallel Juno and square Vesta, Uranus quincunx Ceres, Mars sesquiquadrate the South Node)
For the 21st: 5 AM PDT the Leo Moon quincunxes Earth. Our surroundings may challenge us emotionally or give us pause. Void begins at 5:48 AM PDT; the Moon enters Virgo at 8:54 AM PDT. 7 PM PDT the Moon creates a T-square by opposing Neptune with both squaring Mars. We may choose or act in spite of a lack of inspiration or imagination–that may leave us very sorry with the results.
Today's image is a nurse preparing a shot for a small child. Are you anticipating something not-so-pleasant that is meant to be 'good for you'? Sometimes we make ourselves do things purely out of a kind of superstitious, ritualistic belief that it will protect us; consider the true efficacy of those preventive measures, before subjecting yourself to them.
And on the Sabian for the Lunar Eclipse of 8 October: 'Nature Spirits Are Seen At Work In The Light Of Sunset'. This reinforces the culmination factor of the eclipse (the sunset) and reassures us that, even if this is an ending for you with no clear-cut new persona yet showing itself, nature is preparing the elements necessary–all you need to do is wait. The conjunction of Uranus to this point emphasizes the spontaneous nature of what will occur, as well as its uniqueness to the needs and personality of each individual

Developed by Trabulance – the same guys behind titles like Come See Me Tonight and Do You Like Horny Bunnies? – and localized for the English market by G-Collections, I'm Gonna Serve You 4 is a cute comedy hentai game, where you get to play the role of a totally ordinary dude who, by chance, has a bunch of girls fighting for him. A dating sim in its pure form, I'm Gonna Serve You 4 does have its dramatic moments, and, for this reason, can be considered one great addition to anyone's collection of hentai games.
Story wise, I'm Gonna Serve You 4 does not seem particularly different from other dating sims. You play the role of Koji Aoyama, a simple ordinary guy who, one day, suffers a terrible car accident and is whisked off to the US, to receive proper medical care. Before you start thinking this is promising, in an Immoral Ward sense of the word, do not jump to conclusions just yet. Nothing happens while your character lies on his hospital bed in America. Everything starts getting a nice turn, once he comes back to Japan.

"Cloths for every type of weather (even in summer)" Netherlands Packing List Tip by Pavlik_NL
Netherlands What to Pack: 52 reviews and 32 photos
Luggage and bags: Enough to bring the souvenirs back home: one pair of wooden shoes, ten kilo's of tulip bulbs and a windmill. Also take care of some hidden compartment for some ... uh, ... let's say ... "stuff".
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Slippers as well as high boots. You never know when these dikes break. Never forget your umbrella, though a raincoat is even better.
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Extra towel for drying your hair after rain. Extra soap for when you fell into the A'dam canals (if anything gets you clean after that).
Photo Equipment: Sensitive films for cloudy days, others for sunny days (you might actually hit one out of three this year).
Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: A water tight tent. On beaches a swimmmingtrousers and/or bikini (but keep the "Zuidwester" - a traditional shippers raincoat - within reach).
Miscellaneous: Seriously, in The Netherlands the weather is quite unpredictable. Most summers are fine, but ... there's (almost) always wind (not for nothing we have so many windmills)! Winters are mostly wet and windy, but ... sometimes we can endlessly scate on the canals.

We already have two threads devoted to Halloween, so please continue whatever discussion you may like, pertaining to Halloween in those two threads.
* Halloween, is it good or bad?
* Happy Halloween to all
OK everyone loves Halloween as do i but i cant get the candy like mote of you kids can but i have fun with the haunted houses and scary moviesHALLOWEEN
Halloween (Allhallows Even) was observed by some churches with religious services. However, most persons regarded it as a secular festival. In its strictly religious aspect, it is known as the vigil of Hallowmas or All Saints' Day, observed on November 1 by the Roman Catholic and Anglican churches.
The festival of Halloween is based on a combination of the Christian commemoration of the departed faithful (All Saints' Day) with the pre-Christian Celtic feast associated with a celebration of the end of summer and the Celtic New Year. Celts who lived in what is now known as Ireland, Scotland and parts of Great Britain celebrated their new year that began November 1. Allhallows' Even was observed on the evening of October 31st. Around 800 A.D., the day became known among Christians as Allhallomas which eventually changed to All Hallow E'en, or Halloween.
Celtic peoples adopted Christianity quickly, easily, and strongly. The conversion of Celtic peoples did not, however, keep them from celebrating some of their old customs. Attempts to replace the year-end custom in the old Celtic calendar were only partially successful. Some of our Halloween traditions date back to these early times.
Summer's end and the celebration of a good harvest has always been an important event in the life of agrarian peoples. Samhain "Hallowday" or Samfuin (sam + fuin) summer's end, marked the end of the yearly cycle and was celebrated with both religious and agrarian rites. It was the period for threshing and of food preparation for the winter season. On that evening, so it was believed, present, past, and future became one. Celts gave thanks for the safe return of their cattle to winter quarters, and invoked their gods for prosperity and good crops for the coming year.
Samhain was both the "end of summer" and a commemoration of the dead. The spirits of the departed were believed to visit their kinsmen in search of warmth and good cheer as winter approached. It was a time when evil, as well as good, spirits returned to the living. Fairies were believed to migrate from one home to another, and Hallowe'en was the time when humans kidnapped by elfin folk could reclaim their lost loves or relatives.
Jack-O'-Lanterns were scooped out of turnips with skull-like faces carved into them. This may reflect the ancient custom of placing skulls around the tribal fire to keep evil demons away. Bobbing for apples is a relic of the "Ordeal by Water," signifying the passage of the soul to the hereafter over the waters separating them. To encourage fertility, the Halloween cat, the black cat, became a familiar symbol of Halloween. Some believed that if you held a mirror and ate an apple at the same time, you would see the reflection of your future mate in the mirror.
Immigrants from Ireland, Scotland and England, brought secular Halloween customs to the U.S. but the festival did not become popular until the latter part of the 19th century, at the time of the mass immigration from Ireland after 1840. Halloween grew and changed over the years, with people, including those of other ethnic groups, adding (or subtracting) things from it. The association with ghosts and spirits goes back to older pagan customs. Germans took to celebrating Halloween with gusto. For them dressing up reminded them of "Fasnacht," "Karneval" and "Fasching" in the old country with masks and costumes; and witches and black cats reminded them of Walpurgisnacht and of fairy tales like "Hansel and Gretel."
Witches entered Halloween in the 19th century. One of the most important witches Sabbaths was held on Halloween. Witches were alleged to fly to these meetings on broomsticks, accompanied by black cats, who were their constant companions. Magical rites and ceremonies were performed by witches from all over the region at a sacred spot.
It is to the role of the witches in Halloween that Germans could relate especially well. The most famous sacred spot for witches was in the Harz* mountain region of Germany. Until the 18th century, maps of Germany showed witches hovering over this spot, the Blocksberg/Brocken. For Germans Halloween blended with the "Walpurgisnacht," and the Witches Sabbath on the night leading into May 1st. On that day, bonfires, the Maifeuer (May fires) are burnt in the old country, to drive away the witches and the horned god, the devil.
Halloween, as we know it in America, with all the folk stories and urban legends, is a distinctly American phenomenon, with the "Trick or Treat"-bit appearing after 1930. The "trick or treat"-custom resembles an old Irish practice associated with Halloween Eve. Groups of peasants went from house to house demanding food and other gifts in preparation for the evening's festivities. Prosperity was assured for the liberal donors and threats were made against the stingy ones. A similar custom was practiced, and still is in some areas, by Germans. Knocking on doors for food and drink is practiced during the Karneval Season or at New Years. Best known is the custom of the Star Singers on Epiphany, carolers going from door to door, singing and collecting for poor relief or overseas missions.
Pranks such as wandering groups of celebrants blocking doors of houses, carrying away gates and plows, tapping on windows and throwing vegetables at doors (corn candy), also struck a familiar note. In rural areas and small towns, especially of Bavaria and Austria, tricks and pranks are to this day practiced in such customs as "stealing the Maibaum" in Bavaria.
The U.S.-style Halloween was returned by the Irish and the Scots to the countries of origin and became popular in England since the late 1960s with one exception, "Trick or Treat," even the phrase was not then used (although it seems to become used now). Nor was it accepted that failure to offer a "treat" was grounds for trickery, pranks and even vandalism.
Halloween has also entered Germany. It is celebrated at Burg Frankenstein where a connection between the castle and Mary Shelley's novel has been established. (See "In Search Of Frankenstein" by Radu Florescu, Robson Books Ltd. London; and "Burg Frankenstein - Mythen, Märchen und das Monster" by Walter Scheele, Fouque-Verlag, Egelsbach).
Today some families and even parishes hold group celebrations, often with costumes of the saints, poor souls or famous Catholics and other elements, to reinforce the Christian side of Halloween's origins.
The tendency to manipulate (often for commercial gain) rather than to celebrate folk festivals reflects the growing influence of a rational outlook on life and the progressive loss of folk vitality. The secular character of American culture is reflected as well in the public neglect of the religious significance of Halloween. Only the children with their costumes, masks and the "trick or treat" custom, keep the spooky and irrational--even if only pretending--from becoming another casualty of modernity.
Witches and black cats, ghosts and Frankensteins, ghosts' heads carved from pumpkins, candles, bobbing for apples, the "trick or treat" custom, candy and food, masks, parties and innocent little pranks also express joy in the present and the life-giving harvest that ensured the future.
Cider, Lemon juice, cinnamon sticks and other herbs will make a wonderful treat. For a bewitching cold or hot cider brew add chunks of dry ice to the cider, after mixing it with cold water. The mixture will bubble and steam and provide a delicious spooky treat.
"Chiller," a spooky album from Erich Kunzel with the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra is available as a CD from Musical Heritage with selections from Lloyd-Webber: The Phantom of the Opera, Mussorgsky: Night on Bald Mountain; Berlioz: The Damnation of Faust; Waxman: The Bride of Frankenstein; Goldsmith: Poltergeist and much more, including digital sound effects.
*The Harz Mountains, 2,000 square kilometers of untouched nature, with woods, wild romantic valleys, bizarre caves, quiet streams and roaring waterfalls that inspired famous poets, such as Goethe and Heine it is an area with sagas and legends shrouded in mystery.

From the founding of Jamestown to the time of Washington and Jefferson, every plantation owner made cider, drank cider, and bragged about his cider.

1 teaspoon fresh squeezed lemon juice
1/4 cup peach schnapps
1 cup crushed ice - more if necessary

Thinly sliced peach wedges - to garnish {optional}

Equally divide mixture into champagne flutes and top off with additional Prosecco.
Garnish with thinly sliced peach wedges - optional.

Great selection of local foods. Pick the items you like and pay. Locations all over Moscow including the airport.
3 days in Moscow
One Day in Moscow
Guide to Moscow Outdoors
First trip to Moscow, and was concerned about being able to find inexpensive food. Had read about this place online and it ended up working out well. It's cafeteria-style, so you can see what you're getting before you choose, and you can just point (no Russian needed!). Some items were better than others, but everything was at least good. Free...
The most visible location of the chain in Moscow and some other Russian cities. This one is rather big, but others may be even bigger. Food is not bad, the variety is OK. Alcohol is available. Costs are medium (for Moscow). Service is quick (if not a lunch time and not near the Metro station, like this one). Toilets are...
This was my 2nd attempt in a Mu-Mu branch. The location on Arbat is very popular, so you will probably queue a few minutes.
The staff only speaks Russian, but an English menu is available. Or point to what you want.
There is hardly a chance you will break the bank, so take the chance to try something new!
The problem is that the staff don't speak english. I wanted to eat snitzel chicken, but the man gave me an other, more expensive food. By the way the soup was great and the berry drink also. It's relatively cheap, and if you are in Moscow, don't go to McDonalds if you could eat something normal food like here.
We were directed to Mu-Mu by our tour guide. If you want real "Russian" fast food this is the place. We grabbed our trays and proceeded through the line. Being unable to speak or read Russian we used the point and head nodding method of ordering our food. We had chicken soup, beet salad, sausage, and Chicken Kiev, Everything was...
Cafe Mu-Mu is a fast food place, actually, but since Moscow is a very expensive city, with overpriced restaurants and cafes, Mu-Mu is a very good choice for travellers and business visitors who do not want to pay a fortune for just a lunch. It is clean, cheap and simple, but has a touch of Russian style cuisine and quite...
Russian typical fast food restaurant. Fast timing service, Significant and Miscellaneous Russian dishes, Always crowded during mealtimes. Ambience is average, the interior is alike suited in the farm. I had rice, grilled pork chop, fried chicken, salads, and chicken noodle soup for my choice, of course along with a cold beer which relieves my stresses after the long hours of...
Mu-Mu isn't exactly a cafe. It's not a place you'd go to for a nice cup of coffee with a friend or to close a business deal or whatnot. And if you're looking for more gourmet-type restautants, please avoid this cafe! It's simple and serves very traditional homemade-type food. If you're out and about alone or with your family exploring...
When I first come to Kemlin in Moscow, I visited the coffee. It's not easy to talk in English but ok because of English menu. Food is all good . i love Okroshka that is a cold soup we can't taste in another country.

Update to We're Closing In!, with 19 games to go..
Spurs have withstood a 4-game losing streak since that post further down the page, and are surely coming into playoff form. Tony Parker looks MUCH closer to 100%, and the offensive ball movement that blew everyone away during last year's Finals is showing its presence again, finally! Defense has been solid, and yet is still getting better all the time.
I've said it most of the season -- That #3 seed is still ripe for the taking!

Ryder Cup Terminology 2014
If you're gonna call the morning matches "four-ball," then you can't call the afternoon matches "Foursomes," you should call them "two-ball". There are always gonna be four players playing together on Friday and Saturday, so neither "four-ball," nor "foursomes" makes good sense. Why not call them exactly what they are? All four players are playing their own ball in the morning, and the BEST player's BALL for each pair - wins the hole, so call it "Best Ball". In the afternoon, each pair alternates strokes on ONE BALL, and that is called "Alternate Shot".

Tree-Fermented Figs
Today was a particularly bad day for the figs here, its already rained twice, and at least a few dozen pounds of them have split... But, on the other hand...
Today I ate my first Hardy Chicagos and an LSU Gold fig. Delicious! I'm more partial to this years Chicagos... Celeste has come in last this year, I'm afraid. Still anxiously waiting for Mission, Smith, Hunt, LSU Purple, O'Rourke, Tyger, Honey, Native Black, and a quite few others to ripen...
Now, the question I have: Has anyone ever attempted to eat a bug-free, fermented fig that is still on the tree? I found one today, and I didn't even realize it until I had it up to my nose (it wasn't wrinkled or deformed). I tasted it... and I am sorely, sorely tempted to make fig wine this year. (We make orange wine from the orchard here, and I'm assuming I could do it the same way, seeing how easily these figs fermented.)
Experiences with fermented figs or fig wine, anyone?
Thanks! And... I hope everyone's figs are coming along well!
- Tyler
Even with all the fig trees I have, I can't seem to keep any around from which to make fig wine. I just eat them fresh, every last one. Sorry to hear about the rain. It hasn't rained here in weeks. I asked how to make elderberry wine on the fruit and orchard forum, also on gardenweb and got a lot of good responses.
Tyler, I've never tasted fig wine but I do know that it is made. I remember reading about someone winning first place with their fig wine at some sort of wine event. I've also seen it advertised before.
Yes the rain has been bad until this past week. The heat and dry have let my little Celeste give me some great figs. But I did notice a lot of them little sour beetles flying around the tree this morning. If we get another round of rain like last week I'm afraid the rest of the crop will sour.
Gene, What do the little sour fruit beetles look like? What size are they?
I saw some little slim, black bugs on a couple of figs yesterday. I've found no bugs inside of the figs they were on.
I ate a sour fig this afternoon before I realized it was sour and it was horrible! It was sour, not fermented.
A few days ago I picked figs from my mother's tree that were dripping with tree-fermented figs. They are magnificent. Now that I can identify the taste, I am even more anxious to learning how to make fig wine. I picked more today. I hope you have already started making figs into wine. I came across your notes and felt the need to reply. Maybe I am looking for a cheering section. I, also, have wanted to do this for a long time. Figs are almost out of season here. I am only getting a small amount out of my hard work in tree climbing. My mom has one tree that the whole community feeds on. No one regularly picked her figs until I moved back home two years ago. Now they all want a piece of the fruit. It is hard to share, but you know, neighborly expectations. After all, they really are good people.

'N.Korean human rights should be dealt with at int'l level'
Publication Date : 15-02-2014
The image of a petite, frail-looking woman, sitting for days inside a makeshift tent across the Chinese Embassy in protest against China's forceful repatriation of North Korean defectors, is still vivid, even after nearly two years.
Sitting at her office in Dongguk University in Seoul last month, Park Sun-young recalled how she, then a Liberty Forward Party legislator, started a hunger strike, almost on impulse. She had been receiving many desperate calls, day and night, asking her to help stop the repatriation of North Korean defectors caught in China, after which they would surely be sent to a gulag, if not killed, for trying to escape.
"I did it out of a sense of urgency. I had never felt so powerless, unable to help North Korean defectors," she said of the decision she made on Feb 20, 2012. On that day, after a hearty lunch of samgyetang, or ginseng-stuffed chicken soup, with her staff, she went straight to the site of an ongoing protest in front of a church across the street from the Chinese Embassy in Ogin-dong, Seoul, and sat herself down on the pavement.
Park, who had never been able to skip a meal ― a Catholic, she was unable to follow the practice of fasting on Good Friday ― was completely unprepared for what would follow.
"I thought about how embarrassing it would be if I could not last three days," she said. Her hunger strike ended on March 2 when she collapsed and was taken to a hospital. By then she had become a face for the efforts to save North Korean defectors ― a godmother for North Korean defectors.
"I started without expectations. I was hearing their clamor, I wanted to console them. I just wanted to show I was hurting too," she said.
UN resolution
Then, later that month, something quite remarkable happened. The United Nations Human Rights Council adopted a resolution condemning human violations in North Korea. Park traveled to Geneva in a wheelchair, still weak from the hunger strike, her hair now completely silver. She noticed how China did not raise objections, oppose it, or walk out. In fact, the resolution was passed by consensus without a vote. "I was grateful for China's change (of stance). It meant China had begun to feel embarrassed. Everybody had said China wouldn't change, but it did," Park recalled.
When her term at the National Assembly expired later that year, she returned to teaching Constitutional law at Dongguk University. Park continues to work on the North Korean human rights issue: She is the chairperson of Dream Makers for North Korea, also known as Mulmangcho Association, an NGO that advocates North Korean human rights and runs programs for North Korean defectors to help them settle in South Korea, including an alternative school for young defectors in Yeoju, Gyeonggi Province.
Working with North Korean defectors stems naturally from Park's work as a Constitutional law scholar. "Article 3 of the Constitution defines nationality," she said. The article reads: "The territory of the Republic of Korea shall consist of the Korean Peninsula and its adjacent islands." By extension, the South Korean government has the duty to protect the human rights of North Koreans, just as it does the rights of South Koreans.
Park believes that the issue of North Korean human rights should be brought to the attention of international organisations to pressure them into taking action, even if the actions are only symbolic. "If a state files cases with the International Court of Justice, it will be handled. But our government doesn't make the move," she said. According to the Geneva Convention, she explained, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is a war criminal for his regime's treatment of South Korean POWs.
"No South Korean administration has tried to solve the issue according to international law, or global standards," she said. "We need to persevere in continuing to raise the issue. It is not an issue that can be solved at the South-North level. It has to be settled according to international law."
Continuing to raise the issue can be crucial in keeping alive the forcefully repatriated North Korean defectors. A broadcast journalist with MBC from 1977 to 1989, Park knows the role that the media can play. Referring to the group of nine young North Korean defectors, many of them minors, who were captured by the Laos authorities and repatriated to North Korea through China in May 2013, Park said that the North Korean regime would not be able to kill them as long as the international media keeps the spotlight on the group, also known as the Laos 9.
"If we continue to watch, raise the issue, if the media keeps reminding the public by running stories on it, the North Korean regime can't kill them," she said. While there have been concerns that the group may already have been executed, Park said, "We know that they have been split into smaller units in three different places for brainwashing."
Defectors face discrimination
Today, there are some 25,000 North Korean defectors living in the South. While they have escaped extreme poverty and political repression, life here can be hard. In fact, the suicide rate among North Korean defectors is six times that for South Koreans, according to Park.
Children over 15 have no incentive to study, Park explained. They had no education in North Korea and they just give up studying here. They also need to earn money to bring the family members that remain in the North.
Yet, in the long term, these youngsters cannot make money as they have little or no education and, after years of malnutrition, are not physically strong. "They are too small even for physical labor. They fall into despair and some commit suicide," she said. "This is a social problem, a time bomb, and we need to address this issue and prepare for unification."
Park offered the case of East and West Germany before the unification, as an example of what should be done here. "Before unification, the unemployment rate among those who escaped the East was lower than that of West Germans. This was achieved through a year-long job training for the East German defectors." As a result, "East Germans desired unification," Park pointed out.
By comparison, 95 per cent of North Korean defectors are unemployed after they leave Hana Center where they stay for three months familiarising themselves with South Korea and its way of life; except for 1 per cent, those who are able to find employment are irregular workers, according to Park.
"We need to treat them well. We need to look at them with a warm gaze," Park said, noting that the number of North Korean defectors reentering the North increased last year.
Commission of Inquiry
The Commission of Inquiry on human rights in North Korea, established by the UN Human Rights Council in March 2013, is due to release an official report on its findings on Monday in Geneva, ahead of the official presentation to the UNHRC on March 17.
Park has mixed feelings about the upcoming report. "Half hopes, half worries," she said. While the commission held public hearings with more than 80 victims and other witnesses in Seoul, Tokyo, London and Washington, DC, Park claims that the general public could not contact the commission and the Foreign Ministry did not publicise the Seoul hearing. In fact, the commission was surprised at the lack of public interest here, she said.
Park also said the one-year investigation was too short and that while the commission members met with witnesses, they were not able to visit the actual sites. "They should have at least met with the stateless children and North Korean defectors in China's three northeastern provinces," she said, referring to the three provinces that border on North Korea.

Driveway Trees
We had a cedar tree lined driveway before Hurricane Sandy. We would like to replace the trees but not with cedars. Can you please suggest some trees that might work. We are in NJ, which I think is a zone 6.
EDD: We are looking for a tree that is about 40 feet tall at maturity with maybe a 20 ft spread. I like the look of pear trees when they are green but I know they are not a smart choice.
Here is a current picture...
This post was edited by zoey75 on Wed, May 14, 14 at 17:39
Limbed up metasequoia and/or taxodium, I'd leave a little more space than in the pic though. If you are zone 5 go with the taxodium. Leave enough room on the street end to plant a flowering tree of your choice on either side.
I worry about monocultures as the wrong winter or bug comes by and you have nothing, ask the gateway arch folks. But your drive was pretty darned neat looking I must admit.
Hovenia dulcis is a deciduous Tree growing to 10 m (32ft) by 7 m (23ft). It is hardy to zone 6 and is not frost tender. It is in flower in July, and the seeds ripen from Sep to October.
Here is a link that might be useful: Tree Recs
Check out fastigiate european hornbeam, since you're after a medium-sized tree and like the look of 'pears' (I'm guessing you referred to Bradford pear, which tend to have a more formal, smooth, full-bodied form).
I don't know how they do in your area, but if you like a medium-sized zone appropriate somewhat formal tree, just might be the ticket.

Western Mass. Trouble Spots for MCAS
By Kelly Wilkinson
Springfield, MA – High schools are graduating this time of year. But in order to graduate in Massachusetts, students first have to pass the MCAS test or they can't get a diploma. While passing rates are high and climbing throughout the state, there are several districts still pulling the average down. In Western Massachusetts, Springfield and Holyoke students are failing the exam at much higher rates than their peers in other parts of the state. WAMC's Berkshire Bureau Chief Kelly Wilkinson has this report.

Do you own your own body? Or do you think the "state" is somehow "entitled" to own your own body.
Your question is based on a false premise. Living bodies are not ownable.
"Your" body is the thing that does the verb that is you. Flight does not own an arrow, shining does not own the sun, a Em7 chord does not own a guitar. The action and the subject are inseparable.
Property, on the other hand, is a relationship that is separable. You do not own your body. So long as your body is being a living human being, no one does or can.
Once you are dead -- once your body is no longer being you -- by natural default the inanimate remains of your body are finders-keepers. It takes an act of the state to transform the unowned corpse that was formerly you into legally recognized property.
It's entirely appropriate for the state to say, "By default, we're going to transform part of this corpse into property in a way that helps save lives, by giving it to this doctor so that he can make those bit help do the verb that is someone else (at which point it will cease being property); and the remainder into property in a way that helps the decedent's family and friends deal with their grief by using it in some sort of funeral rites."
"Freedom is still the most radical idea of all." -- Nathaniel Branden

Mangalore will soon have life-saving clubs that will teach its members life-saving skills, thus promoting fun coupled with safety-consciousness.
Chief executive officer of the Panambur Beach Tourism Development Project Yathish Baikampady told The Hindu that the first such club would be started in Baikampady followed by Bengre and Ullal.
"We are planning to mobilise youth for the clubs and teach them rescue skills. It will not be a full-time job, so these skills can be turned to life-saving games, which are held at the international level," Mr. Yathish said.
The clubs would be affiliated to the Rashtriya Life Saving Society (RLSS) and the Surf Life Saving Australia (SLSA), which were life-saving organisations of international standards.
The beach tourism project was hosting a training centre affiliated to these organisations in Mangalore, which would provide the backbone for life-saving clubs, he said.
The Panambur training centre would receive infrastructure and training from the RLSS and SLSA.
The most basic skill required would be familiarity with swimming in the sea, Mr. Yathish said. This would be followed by training in the use of surf-board, inflatable rubber boats and jet skis for rescue efforts and also first-aid.
Once the clubs were set up, they could have their own constitution and bylaws, provided they were in line with the parent organisations' rules and requirements. Eventually, after they become proficient with the skills, they could organise inter-club life-saving games. "The most important thing here is how fast you can reach the victim," he said.
Mr. Yathish said that to begin with, he was working with the youth to get them interested in the initiative. But the clubs would be open to all those interested to join, provided they were aged above 16, he said.
Another group of people equipped with some basic skills were the local fishermen. "They are already used to dealing with the rough sea," Mr. Yathish said.
Around half an acre of land located to the north of Panambur Beach had been identified for a building, he said.
Mr. Yathish could not give a definite time as to when it would begin functioning.
