Le Florida - the final meal
... we were now well adversed in the area, its food and its fine selection of wine, Floc and Armagnac. We had learned so much in such a short time and we had barely scratched the surface of this fascinating region.
I feel many of us will return to taste these flavours again and to dig deeper into this wonderful area.
Hats off to both Marie and Amanda for arranging and guiding us all through a great adventure.
Domaine Entras - Return to the Floc
... with a caramel finish.
2. 1996
Sweet toffee butterscotch nose. Much more complexity on the palate with wood and nuts and caramel.
As well as this fine selection of drink, this house also produces a fine gourmet mustard which contains some of the grape residue from the wine. This was delicious either on its own or smeared on bread. It had a great intensity and something deeper than most mustards.
What a fine way ...
Culture stop and a blinding blind tasting
... br>
From there we returned to the Auberge for a bring a bottle blind tasting accompanied by Foie Gras and a magnificent slow cooked Cassoulet which apparently had been three days in preparation!
The meal began with a fine speed of Oysters which was matched to a selection of Blanche Armagnac - a match made in heaven. No need for any adornment other than a slight twist of lemon juice, this was a great way to begin the meal. I had always been under ...

"Nuts nuts nuts" was Florence's introduction to this vintage and she wasn't wrong. Hazelnut and walnut on the nose. Warm and velvety smooth on the palate with orange peel and finishing with more nuttiness. Floriane said that this was a true expression of the T�nar�ze style.

Can you really get a big dick and how do you get a big dick? These questions are asked very often by guys and I feel it is important to give a honest and straightforward answer! The truth is that it is possible to permanently enlarge the penis! Countless men have used penile exercises to enlarge and enhance their penis. There are even online support forums where guys reveal their stories and get information! Medical "experts" like to point out that growing the penis larger with non-surgical methods is not possible. But the truth is that even surgical penis enlargements requires the use of stretching devices before and after to achieve a larger penis. Why not try penile exercises that mimic the same results but without the intervention of expensive and dangerous surgery?
Is It Possible to Get a Bigger Penis and where is the proof?
How do you get a big dick – Penis enlargement studies
Several studies have been conducted to find out the effectiveness of penile exercises. One of those was the Chartham study conducted by Dr. Brian Richards. In this study thirty men took part in a 3 month long penis enlargement program using special exercises. This study was sent for publication in the the British Journal of Sexual Medicine and the British Medical Journal.
In this study 28 men out of the 30 showed verifiable and permanent penis enlargement!
The results of this three month survey according to Dr. Brian Richards were:
- Average girth increase: 1" (2.04 cm)
- Average length increase: 1.125" (2.65 cm)
- Greatest increase in length: 1.5″ (3.6 cm)
- Smallest increase in length: 1″ (2.4 cm)
- Smallest increase in girth: .875″ (1.4 cm)
- Greatest increase in girth: 1.25″ (3.1 cm)
A survey that was conducted by a well-known forum showed these results
So there are many studies that show that it is possible to get a bigger penis with penis enlargement exercises. On top of that there are countless number of men who have gained anywhere from 1-3 inches with penis enlargement programs such as meCoach.

How do you get a big dick – Keeping in mind!
- It is necessary to keep in mind that getting a bigger dick does take time. It can take many weeks and months to gain inches. This is not an instantaneous thing and you must be prepared to have the right mental attitude.
- Lots of guys have this belief because of the advertisements of various pills and patches that it is possible to gain 1-2 inches in just a few weeks. It is possible though to see significant improvements in erection quality and experience gains of 0,5 inches or so in 3-4 weeks but it is not 2 inches.
- It is important to understand what it really takes to get a big dick and what you must do. The quicker results you want and the more gains you want to make the better your penis enlargement exercise program needs to be.
How penile exercises make your dick bigger!
Penile exercises work in many ways. There are many types of penile exercises that enlarge the penis in various ways. Here are some of the thing I learned from various penis enhancement programs that I bought that I want to share with you Just to give you a basic overview.
Stretching exercises for a bigger dick
Stretching exercises increase the length of the penis really effectively. When you stretch the penis then microtears occur in the penile tissue. The penis gets larger once the body fills in the space created by these tears. Basically you create specific stress to the penis by stretching exercises and that stress creates micro-tears in the penile tissue and the body then has to repair the micro-tears. If this process is repeated many many times then gradually the penis will get noticeably larger and longer.
- Stretch your penis out away from your body – This type of stretching is great for general increase in length.
- To the left and right – this kind of stretching is perfect for those who suffer from a curved penis.
- Upward and downward – Stretching upwards or downwards places pressure on either lower or upper part of the penis shaft.
- It is of course possible to combine stretching to various directions to maximize the areas targeted.
>>>Gain 1-3 inches and achieve rock hard erections with award winning program – CLICK HERE<<<
Compression exercises to get a big penis
Stretching is one way to apply stress to the penis to force it to grow and compression is another effective method. These exercises use compression, as the name implies, to create the stress. Compression is really effective in terms of penis girth.
- Use an overhand OK-grip and put your hand around the base of your penis.
- Place the other hand in an underhand OK-grip, tightly over the area where the glans of your penis meets the penis shaft. Do not put direct pressure on the glans themselves.
- Slowly bring both hands slightly closer to each other, while compressing the shaft of the penis (like on the picture).
- While the shaft is compressed, bend the penis shaft back and forth to put tension along those areas to increase extra growth.
Jelqing exercises for a big dick
Jelqing is a popular and effective penis enlarging exercises. Jelqing use a milking-motion to force blood into the penis and that extra blood stretches and squeezes the penis. The exercise is generally performed at a 50-75% erection level with some lubrication.
The idea is that wrap your index finger and thumb around the base of your dick, squeeze your dick a little to create some pressure and then slowly slide your hand towards the head of your dick. Just like stretching and compression exercises, jelqing also creates pressure inside the penis. To be able to effectively and safely grow the penis bigger, the pressure needs to be just right.
How do I get a big cock – Important tips to make gains
In order to make gains on a consistent basis for months to come, it is crucial to follow simple and basic principles. Principles that can help you make gains faster than most. Failure to follow these principles will result in less than optimum results or even total failure.
How Do You Get A Big Penis
5 principles to increase penis size by 1-3 inches in record time
Knowledge is power
- If you want to get a big penis then you must take the time to learn as much as you can about penis enlargement and how to perform penile exercises in a proper fashion. The more you learn the more knowledge you have and the easier it is to make gains.If your goal is to make significant gains (1-2 inches or more) then you need to exercise for many months. This means you need to know how to get a big penis in the first months and in the 4-th or 5-th month. If you want to make gains in the first months and keep making gains for 6 months or more then you need know a lot more than basic penile exercises and that is why programs like BuildPenis are required!
- Support is a crucial aspect in anything really. It is hard to lose weight, build muscle, succeed in business or grow a bigger penis, if you have no support. But if you become a member of an online community and get personal one-on-one coaching then you will succeed!
Adequate rest
- Growing a larger penis takes time! The first principle is to get adequate amounts of rest because for growth to occur there needs to be enough time for the penis to recover. The key to building muscle and building a bigger penis is to apply stimulate the penis with exercises and then let the body heal itself and recover. Too many guys fail to follow this principle.
Gradual increase in intensity
- Another crucial principle is increase the intensity gradually not fast. Intensity has to be increased in order to keep making gains but the increase if intensity has to be gradual and well-though through. Increasing intensity too much too soon is one of the biggest errors beginners make.
Healthy penis signs
- The third important principle is to pay attention to how your penis reacts to exercises. The clues that you get from your body are very valuable and failure to detect these results in poor results. When your erection levels go down, you stop making gains and your dick becomes more sensitive then it is a sign that something is wrong. But if you get positive signs then it means everything is going well and no radical changes are required! Growing a larger penis is impossible with unhealthy body signs!

CMS issues proposed rule on Medicare ACOs
Posted on December 2, 2014 | Comments Off
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) issued a proposed rule, which addresses changes to the Affordable Care Act's (ACA) Medicare Shared Savings Program, including provisions relating to the payment of Accountable Care Organizations (ACO) participating in the Program. The proposed rule includes several changes to eligibility requirements, definitions of an ACO participant, and how "pioneer" ACOs transition into the Medicare Shared Savings Program. Notably, the rule would allow ACOs an extra three years without risk of penalties for poor performance, albeit with smaller shared savings for good performance. CMS also is considering making it easier for ACOs to meet spending targets by comparing them to providers in their region, instead of national comparisons, and by gradually making benchmarks less dependent on past ACO performance.
HHS releases proposed rule on open enrollment
Posted on November 22, 2014 | Comments Off
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued a proposed rule that would set future annual exchange open enrollment periods so that they begin October 1 and end December 15. Consumers selecting a plan during this time period would gain coverage starting January 1, 2016. HHS says this time period will be long enough for consumers to pick or change their plan, but not crossing calendar years will reduce consumer confusion. The proposed rule also touches on key aspects of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), including risk corridors, user fees for the federal exchange, essential health benefits, and network adequacy.
OPM issues proposed rule for Multi-State Plan Program
Posted on November 22, 2014 | Comments Off
The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) issued a proposed rule to implement modifications to the Multi-State Plan (MSP) Program. The MSP Program is a provision of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) designed to offer at least two federally administered plans in all 50 states. The proposed rule would revise sections of a final 2013 rule, adjusting the requirements on multi-state plans and the insurers that offer them, based on OPM's experience since the final rule was issued.
GAO issues report on SHOP exchanges
Posted on November 14, 2014 | Comments Off
A new Government Accountability Office (GAO) report reveals that only only 76,000 people enrolled in the 18 states running their own Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP) exchanges as of June 1. While GAO did not have data for the federal-run SHOP exchanges, CMS told the office that it expected similar enrollment trends for the small business marketplaces it is operating. A number of factors may be contributing to the low enrollment numbers such as a lack of interest in the Affordable Care Act's (ACA) small business health tax credits, misconceptions about SHOP availability by employers, and the ability of employers to renew pre-ACA plans. GAO noted that these factors may also affect future growth.
CMS issues letter to Medicaid directors
Posted on November 13, 2014 | Comments Off
In a recent letter to Medicaid directors, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) revealed plans to issue new regulations that will codify the availability of the 90/10 federal matching funds under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) for Medicaid eligibility and enrollment systems on a permanent basis. The letter also announces CMS's intention to provide a three-year extension of the A87 waiver authority, allowing states to use their federal funds to help integrate Medicaid eligibility and enrollment through other social services through December 2018.
AMA adopts new policy to increase insurance coverage
Posted on November 12, 2014 | Comments Off
A new American Medical Association (AMA) policy encourages policymakers of all levels to focus their efforts on working together to identify realistic coverage options for adults currently in the coverage gap, especially in states that are not expanding Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Given their concern with the high number of low-income adults who remain uninsured in states that have opted not to expand their Medicaid programs, the AMA suggests that these states consider using waivers to expand coverage. The organization also urges states to publicly report annually on efforts to cover the uninsured.
IRS issues guidance on coverage of hospital services
Posted on November 5, 2014 | Public Comment (1)
New guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) states that employers must provide substantial coverage for in-patient hospitalization services in order to meet minimum Affordable Care Act (ACA) standards. Plans that fail to provide this coverage do not provide the minimum value intended by the minimum value requirement of the ACA. According to the guidance, any employer that has contracted with such a plan before this guidance was issued will be excluded from the requirement in 2015 if its plan year begins on or before March 1.
CRS publishes report on ACA repeal legislation
Posted on November 3, 2014 | Comments Off
The Congressional Research Service issued a report summarizing legislative actions to repeal, defund, delay, or amend the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The report compiles legislation that has been approved by both chambers and enacted into law, legislation passed in the House not considered by the Senate, and ACA-related provisions in enacted annual appropriations acts for each of FY2011 through FY2014. Also included is a brief overview of all the ACA-related provisions added to appropriations bills considered, and in most cases reported, by the House and Senate Appropriations Committees since FY2011.
Report finds state differences in EHBs
Posted on October 23, 2014 | Comments Off
A new report from University of Pennsylvania researchers, funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, finds that significant state variation exists in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) essential health benefits (EHB), which insurers must cover to offer plans on the exchanges. 45 states consider chiropractic care an EHB, 26 states include autism spectrum disorder services in their EHB package, and only five states considered weight loss programs and acupuncture as EHBs. The report states that the variation in EHB requirements is mostly a result of allowing states to determine their own essential health benefit package by using a "benchmark plan" already offered in the state as a model.
CMS issues Basic Health Program information for 2016
Posted on October 22, 2014 | Comments Off
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) issued a proposed notice on how the federal government will determine payment amounts for 2016 for states that decide to establish a Basic Health Program. The Basic Health Program is a voluntary option under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), which provides insurance to individuals between 133 and 200 percent of poverty through a separate program rather than having them go to the exchanges. The proposed notice says that states that establish the program will receive federal funding equal to 95 percent of the amount of premium tax credits and cost-sharing subsidies that would have otherwise been provided to those individuals for exchange plans. However, the funding does not cover states' ongoing administrative or operational costs.

The State Labour Department has formally written to HCL Technologies seeking an explanation regarding a complaint filed by a section of engineering graduates whose jobs have been deferred for nearly a year after they were recruited on campus by the tech major.
The letter gives the company time till April 5 to respond to the complaint and sought specific written responses on the matter. The letter states: "A complaint filed by software ( sic ) engineers who have been promised jobs in 2012 states that the company has delayed their recruitments. In this regard, we are seeking a factual report and written explanation from you on the matter." The letter, signed by Deputy Labour Commissioner Sripad S.B., is addressed to the management of HCL Technologies, on Ulsoor Road.
'To look deeper'
Speaking to The Hindu , Mr. Sripad said the department has initiated action after going through the detailed complaint by the industry freshers. "I have also asked labour officials to look into the matter in offices under their jurisdiction. The future course of action will be decided upon after we see the explanation. We will have to look deeper into the matter to see what laws could apply to the case. We did this because under current laws a simple petition cannot be used to initiate conciliation procedures."
Company response
Responding to The Hindu 's queries on the matter, an HCL spokesperson said that the past year has seen "significant uncertainty and constrained growth in the IT services industry exhibiting the lowest growth rates in recent years".
'Industry-wide delay'
The statement added that this reduction in growth as well as the shift in services mix has had an impact on the recruitment of freshers across the industry. "There has been an industry-wide delay in the openings for new [recruits] in the companies. A challenge that freshers face is that higher-end discretionary services will increasingly require experienced and onsite resources."
It reiterated its commitment that it "anticipates further acceleration in onboarding from August 2013", adding that starting March 1 the company has released openings in its infrastructure services business.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well Written. Makes a Strong Case for Roosevelt's Greatness,
By A Customer
I give this book the highest recommendation for anyone with an interest in Roosevelt, American History, or World History. I have been reading about history and decided to read about Roosevelt, since he was a great president. I compared reviews and decided on this big book and am glad that I did. Black is talanted with his writing and very amusing at times, which was refreshing considering that this is a very long and thorough book. Roosevelt emerged to me as both a charming person and a shrewd president for good causes, like bringing America out of isolation to save the world from Hitler. His skills and legacies make modern politicians look like preschoolers.
Black writes that Roosevelt is not as admirable of a person as his admirers think because he was egoistic, could be difficult, and was very shrewd and dominating with his power. Roosevelt was a Machiavellian figure in some ways. Yet Black says that Roosevelt was far more admirable for what he did for America and the world than even his admirers may realize. Here Black unfolds the details (and there are many details) that show Roosevelt's greatness.
This review below that I found on the Internet stuck with me as best reflecting my own thoughts, and it carries more expertise than my humble review can offer:
"FRANKLIN DELANO ROOSEVELT Champion of Freedom. By Conrad Black. Reviewed by Alan Brinkley, New York Times. Friday, November 28, 2003.
"It will come as something of a surprise to those familiar with Conrad Black as the powerful and energetic head of a large newspaper publishing empire that he has also managed to write an ambitious biography of Franklin Roosevelt, nearly 1,300 pages long.
"It may also come as a surprise to those who know of the generally conservative politics of Lord Black (who resigned last week as chief executive of his company, Hollinger International, but not as its chairman, during a Securities and Exchange Commission investigation) that he reveres Roosevelt as the greatest American of the 20th century, perhaps of any century, and the most important international leader of modern times.
"However unexpected, this enormous book is also one of the best one-volume biographies of Roosevelt yet. It is not particularly original, has no important new revelations or interpretations and is based mostly on secondary sources (and rather old ones at that). But it tells the remarkable story of Roosevelt's life with an engaging eloquence and with largely personal and mostly interesting opinions about the people and events he is describing. Black's enormous admiration for Roosevelt is based on many things. He reveres what he calls Roosevelt's great courage and enormous skill in moving the United States away from neutrality and first toward active support of Britain and China in the early years of World War II and then toward full intervention. He admires Roosevelt's skill in managing the war effort and his deftness in handling the diplomacy that accompanied it.
"He sees Roosevelt, even more than Churchill, as the architect of a postwar world that for half a century worked significantly better than the prewar world of catastrophic conflicts and economic disasters. Roosevelt, he argues, helped legitimize democracy in the eyes of the world and created alliances and relationships that maintained a general peace through the rest of the 20th century. Churchill, once the war was essentially won, became a futile defender of the dying British empire.
"Roosevelt, in the last months before his death, was promoting a very different vision of world order based on international organizations and national self-determination (even if with great power supervision). Of the major political leaders of the age of World War II, Black writes, "Roosevelt was the only one with a strategic vision that was substantially vindicated in the 50 years following the Second World War."
"Black is also a stalwart defender of the New Deal. His defense is not simply the selective approval that many conservatives give to the way it saved capitalism and ensured the primacy of free markets. Black admires it all: Social Security, the Wagner Act, farm subsidies, securities regulation, wage and price legislation, even Roosevelt's almost incendiary oratory in 1936 welcoming hatred of the forces of power and greed.
"He expresses gingerly criticism of Roosevelt's reluctance to move aggressively to combat segregation, of his support of Japanese-American internment and his relatively modest response to the Holocaust, and of his occasional poor judgment in the people he trusted. (He is particularly contemptuous of Henry A. Wallace, but no more so than of conservative figures like Breckinridge Long, the genteel anti-Semite who obstructed the granting of American visas to European Jews in the late 1930s.)
"Despite these and other reservations, Black never departs from his overall judgment of Roosevelt, perhaps best illustrated in his use of a quotation from Churchill as a chapter title: "He Is the Greatest Man I Have Ever Known."
"While Black may not be the best chronicler of any single aspect of Roosevelt's life, and while he may offer little that scholars don't already know, he has created a powerful and often moving picture of the life as a whole. Truly great men inspire many exceptional biographies, and this is not the first or last for Roosevelt. But it is a worthy and important addition to the vast literature on the most important modern American leader."
4.0 out of 5 stars A favourable but not uncritical biography,
Rodge (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
One might expect a writer of Conrad Black's political persuasion to disapprove strongly of FDR, and blame him for much of the USA's current ills. That would be simplistic and wrong.
Black is actually quite approving of FDR, although he doesn't hold back from criticizing him where he finds him at fault. Overall, though, this book provides a picture of a leader who was up to the task of the times, saving the United States from catastrophe during the Depression and then skilfully maneuvering the nation into and through the Second World War.
This book is massive - almost 1200 pages, plus endnotes. Short of a multi-volume biography, this is about as big a book as you can get.
Conrad Black's writing style is fascinating, alternating between formal and then what can only be described as extravagant turns of phrase e.g. Hitler "irrigating his chin", etc. Black doesn't shy away from making moral judgements - the words "evil" and "disgusting" occur at times. He does make quite strenuous efforts to keep things in balance overall. Though this book is obviously a lot of work to get through, it is certainly worth tackling if you have much interest in the subject and the times.
4.0 out of 5 stars A Leader in Touch With the People,
Ian Gordon Malcomson (Victoria, BC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Franklin Delano Roosevelt: Champion Of Freedom (Paperback)
While I have reservations about Black's ability to judge fairly the critical roles of important people in history by his tendency to see life as either right or wrong, I still appreciate his passion to create a big-picture view of events. He believes his thesis is infallible if he can demonstrate the greatest command of the relevant facts. In the case of this weighty tome on the political life and times of FDR, president of the United States during its most tumultuous years, Black brings to the table a ton of evidence to show his readers that his hero, while an imperfect individual, was an ideal leader who solved problems based on what he perceived to be best for the common man and the nation. In Black's opinion, FDR was that cagey politician who sized up the economic needs of the country during the Great Depression and developed a one-size-fits-all approach to getting the country back to work, though it would take almost a decade to do so. Roosevelt succeeded where others like his predecessor Hoover failed because he was prepared to radicalize the role of government to such an extent that his opponents either jumped on board or quickly became marginalized. For Black, a bit of a misunderstood autocrat and snob himself, FDR represents the ideal embodiment of national leadership. As an east-coast Brahman, who was dismissed early in life as a little rich boy, FDR dedicated himself to being a committed democrat and benign autocrat by time he entered state politics in the late 1920s. By sheer determination to overcome the terrible effects of polio in his personal life and a Machivellian cunning to outwit a bevy of Republicans and Democrats who threatened his desire for reform, FDR became the man of the hour. Anyone who stood in his way lost, including his wife, Eleanor. In numerous places throughout the book, Black regularly endorses the correctness of FDR's decisions as a leader who continuously got it right at key points in the unfolding of the New Deal programs. FDR's apparent keen awareness and foreknowledge as to how the greater world operated allowed him, in Black's eyes, to patiently wait for the tide to turn in his favour. While "Roosevelt: Champion of Freedom" is certainly intimidating in size, it does provide some useful insights as to how the gradually improving state of the nation during those early years of the FDR administration led to greater American influence abroad in the l940s. FDR, a leader much curtailed by the partisan demands of an isolationist Congress, was prepared to pull out all the stops to become successful in his defense of liberty at home and abroad. There is one caution here that Black, the admirer, mentions. FDR, while clearly understanding the Nazi threat in the 1930s to his sense of decency and taking steps to stop it, may not have been so up on the newly-emerging Communist menace after WW II. While there are no new profound interpretations as to how and why FDR did what he did to become America's longest-serving president, the book has merit based on the fact that Black bought the personal FDR archives on which to research its contents. Structural weaknesses in the book includes stilted language in places, questionable wording("sodomized the constitution" on Page 380)and its unwieldy size. I recommend anyone interested in reading this work to first of all consult a general history of the period to become familiar with the support cast and public institutions involved in the FDR saga. Black assumes you should already know the background.
5.0 out of 5 stars Praised Book on the Champion of Freedom - FDR,
In "The Time 100 - the Most Important People of the Century," Franklin Delano Roosevelt is ranked the runner-up most important person of the century - second only to Albert Einstein. Roosevelt is a giant of world history.
On the back cover of this fine book by Conrad Black are these comments about this book by CONSERVATIVE intellectuals I generally admire:
George F. Will: "Conrad Black skillfully assembles powerful arguments to support strong and sometimes surprising judgements. This spirited defense of Roosevelt as a savior of America's enterprise system, and geopolitical realist, is a delight to read."
John Lukacs: "Conrad Black's FRANKLIN DELANO ROOSEVELT is extraordinary. It is something different from the dim and flickering lamp of academic retrospect. A new - and generous - light is poured on its subject: an illumination directed by a conviction of Roosevelt's place in the history of an entire century."
William F. Buckley Jr.: "An enormous accomplishment, a learned volume on FDR by a vital critical mind, which will absorb critics and the reading public."
Henry Kissinger: "No Biography of Roosevelt is more thoughtful and readable. None is as comprehensive."
I really enjoyed Conrad Black's writing style, which adds life to the words with his own colorful descriptors. This is the best single-volume biography of FDR. He presents an accurate and living picture of Roosevelt in his presidency and not a dry summary of the events. For example, I chuckled when Black says that FDR correctly judged Hitler to be the real concern while Mussolini was, in comparison, a buffoon.
My own criticism of the book is that it skips over the human suffering of the period. The Great Depression was devestating. I suggest the book "The Grapes of Wrath" or any of the many documentaries on the Great Depression.
Read this book and you will get to know and appreciate President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. You may not agree with some things, but you will at least understand FDR in the context of the times.
The world was in depression. America was in the Great Depression and heading to what would have been, without Roosevelt's intervention, a complete collapse of America's economic system. Capitalism and democracy fell out of favor around the world. Hitler and other dictators came to power around the world, and radicals gained followers in America. This climaxed in the clash of World War II.
The world we live today in is not a world of Hitler's Third Reich and fascism. It is not a world of Stalinism. It is not a world of colonial empires. It is not a world of radical laissez-faire capitalism. It is a world of Roosevelt's pragmatic ideas for a more stable economy and international security.
Roosevelt was a great president for everyone, and his ideas today seem very pragmatic and sensible. It is refreshing that several notable conservatives have had the guts to praise this book for what it is - a very good book about a great president.
5.0 out of 5 stars A balanced and favorable account,
Schmerguls "schmerguls" (Sioux City, Ia USA) - See all my reviews
I don't know of a better one-volume biography of FDR. Geoffrey Ward's two volumes, Before the Trumpet, and A First-Class Temperament are better written and more carefully researched, but they only take his life to 1928. This book relies on secondary sources mostly, and its footnoting is unhelpful--the footnotes just tell what secondary source the author got the information from. I have not read the multi-volume works of Frank Friedel and Kenneth Davis, but they are referred to a lot in the footnotes to this book and no doubt are more carefully researched. Yet I thought reading this worthwhile, and its overall assessment of FDR's accomplishments rings very true. George Will and Bill Buckley, Jr., and Henry Kissinger supplied blurbs for the jacket, which more hidebound Republicans, clinging to GOP attitudes during Roosevelt's Administrations would not, I presume, do. Black's assessment of FDR's performance at Teheran and Yalta ably refutes some of the old Republican canards re same, and make for good reading. All in all, I thought the time spent reading this nice big book was well spent. There are a few errors, and I mention two: on page 233 Black refers to Senator Harry Flood Byrd as a Virginia favorite son candidate at the 1932 Democratic National Conventio--but at the time Byrd was not yet a Senator; and on page 792 Black says Admiral Darlan's funeral in Algiers on Dec 26, 1942, was attended by the "Cardinal-Primate" of Africa, but there was no Cardinal in Africa in 1942, much less a Cardinal-Primate. The book does have a good 25-page bibliography.
5.0 out of 5 stars Definite Story of a Great Life!,
The presidency of Franklin Delano Roosevelt was momentous and yet it continues to be shrouded in myth. The same is true of Roosevelt the man. Who was this patrician only child of an indulgent mother, paralyzed by polio in his thirties, who ultimately came to be one of the three greatest presidents in American history and one of the greatest Americans of all time?
Conrad Black's enormous one volume biography attempts to answer this question in a new way. To summarize Black's view of Roosevelt's character, FDR was cunning, manipulative, callous, vindictive, sometimes cruel and always inscrutable. Indeed, in Black's view he bore some of the traits associated with the enemies of freedom, Hitler, Stalin and Mussolini. But to Black, these traits of character were always applied to benign ends and a personality like Roosevelt's was vitally necessary to carry out the tasks the times demanded. Although he is a staunch conservative, Black acknowledges Roosevelt's greatness without hesitation.
The first few hundred pages or so runs through the narrative of Roosevelt's life, including his over-indulgent childhood as the son of wealth and privilege in Hyde Park, New York. Black moves through these early years quickly. In comparison to other biographers, he does not give all that much credence to Roosevelt's early life as providing much insight into the development of his character. The seminal moment of FDR's first forty years was of course the attack of Polio, which left him with withered legs, unable to walk or even stand without heavy leg braces. The traditional narrative of Roosevelt's life holds that the crucible of the battle with serious illness represented a turning point from lighthearted unserious young man, to serious man of gravitas. Black rejects this view, instead arguing that Roosevelt always had the characteristics of stubbornness and determination and it is these traits that enabled him to overcome a disease and a disability that might have ruined his life but did not. The polio did not fundamentally change him.
After a reasonably small section on Roosevelt's political career in New York and his rivalry with fellow Democrat, Al Smith, Black begins his discussion on Roosevelt's presidency. This discussion proceeds in chronological order and has a fairly detailed narrative of all the major and minor events in FDR's presidency, as well as profiles of all the major figures around Roosevelt. These include his original political ax man, Louis Howe, who died early on in Roosevelt's first term and Harry Hopkins, a social worker by training who ran several of the New Deal's important projects and later became the President's closest confidante during the Second World War. Black accepts the conventional wisdom that the New Deal did not "cure" the Depression. But in his view, this is beside the point. The major intervention of the Federal government into the engine of the private sector economy was absolutely vital as a means of restoring confidence to the free-enterprise system. Roosevelt instinctively grasped this and so acted, as Black demonstrates, boldly and without any real ideology except a willingness to try anything and everything. This is the vital role Roosevelt played in his first six years as president. Without his actions, it is doubtful the American liberal system would have survived in its present form. The alternatives of leftist socialism/communism and right-wing fascism loomed large and appeared attractive to millions of people in 1933.
The largest part of the book is reserved for a discussion of Roosevelt's final seven years, when he maneuvered the United States from its traditional isolationism, into an active alliance with Great Britain and eventually in to the war itself. It is here that Black shines the most as he acknowledges the greatness of Roosevelt's leadership. As Black shows, FDR always stayed just ahead of American public opinion while constantly advancing and then tactically retreating from his vision of foreign policy, namely the robust defense of Western style liberalism and fierce opposition to fascism and Nazism. At a time when few in the United States acknowledged any American interest in the turmoil of Europe, Roosevelt knew the menace Hitler posed. Indeed, Black argues that Roosevelt always saw Germany as the graver threat and may have actually underestimated the threat from Japan. Nevertheless, FDR's policy towards Japan made an attack inevitable. And his open venomous hostility towards Nazi Germany, prior to Pearl Harbor, was designed to goad Hitler into declaring war on the United States. It worked like a charm and Roosevelt had a united country willing and able to do whatever it took to destroy the Nazi and Japanese menace.
In the final section, Black punctures the myth that Roosevelt's deteriorating condition made him an easy mark for Stalin at Yalta. To the contrary, almost to the end, a tired and sick but commanding Roosevelt, used his Machiavellian skills to secure the post war settlement he favored. He definitely harbored no illusions about Stalin's duplicity. On his death on April 12 1945, the German war was weeks from its ending and American forces were preparing to land on Okinawa. Although' like Moses, FDR was not destined to see the promised land, his leadership ensured that it was reached. America's emergence as a global superpower and robust receptacle of free enterprise is a tribute to his greatness. The man was not without flaws, some considerable and in this enormous work, Black does not scrimp on detailing them. But these flaws of character simply formed part of a whole that proved greater than the sum of its parts. The only conclusion a fair minded person can reach is that the United States, always a lucky nation, was fortunate to have such a great president at such a crucial time.
5.0 out of 5 stars Why politicians should read this book,
Joseph Butson (Toronto, Ontario) - See all my reviews
While I must admit that I read many reviews of the book before I read it, I approached it with trepidation. But within minutes of picking the book up, my fear melted away as I was drawn into what is simply an outstanding account of the man who just may be the greatest American President, if not the most important man of the 20th century. Black's book demonstrates the folly of underestimating your rival or even your "good friend."
Politicians, both Republicans and Democrats, never understood just how masterful a strategist Roosevelt was, until it was too late. His political instincts, as Black recounts time and time again, were brilliant, timely and barely comprehended by his rivals until after the fact. His courage and charm transparently disguised his polio and transformed all those around him.
He invented and innovated and practised politics that modern politicians with countless aids, consultants and advisors could never conceive of, let alone plan to enable. He led great men without intending to and impressed even the most cynical and brutal men of the 20th century.
For an illuminating and superb account of how America was transormed from an economic basket case in the twenties to the greatest empire in modern history by a single man's incredible vision, read Mr. Black's amazing biography.
5.0 out of 5 stars The definitive one-volume FDR biography,
Vincent Poirier (Qu�bec, Canada) - See all my reviews
Conrad Black offers us a truly fair and balanced biography of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. On one hand Black praises his subject no end, going so far as to call him the Man of the Century and the Champion of Freedom. On the other hand, the author frequently describes FDR's faults, episodes of cruelty and outright malice, making no excuse for them.
Black has two explicit purposes. First, he wants to show that the New Deal was a good program. Second, and more controversially, he argues that Roosevelt got the best possible deal he could from Stalin. In both cases, Black shows that FDR achieved his ends entirely because of his formidable political skills, because of his knack for getting people to do what needed to be done.
For Black, the New Deal rescued the U.S. from the Depression. Other historians often describe the New Deal as medicine taken by a sick man for lack of anything better, that the New Deal didn't actually do much to improve the economy, which was finally rescued by the war effort. Black argues that this his unfair to FDR and the New Deal was instrumental in restoring life and growth the economy, and that war production was only its last phase. Black leaves us thinking that without the New Deal of the 1930's, the U.S. would not have been in a position to supply the Allied war needs of the 1940's.
Black's second more controversial purpose is to debunk the view that the dying Roosevelt gave too much to the U.S.S.R. during the negotiations towards the end of the war. Black argues that FDR acted brilliantly to the very end of his life and got the West the best arrangements that could be obtained from the Soviets. He first skillfully guided American public opinion away from isolationism and led them to support the European war and eventually to participate in it to rescue the Old World. Realizing that France and the U.K. would not matter as much in the post WWII world, there was very little he could do to stop Stalin from taking eastern Europe. The USSR, having losing millions more men than the other Allies combined, would have its way. Without FDR, things would have been worse.
Throughout the book Black stresses FDR's political skills and paints a picture of an amoral (not immoral) president, showing him a much less admirable man than we are used to seeing. And while FDR the man was moral and principled, FDR the politician knew that he needed to give way on many things in order to get many others. As a politician, he seldom held any single cause so dearly that he would not give it up to further what he saw as the more important ends.
For example, FDR was a true liberal, largely thanks to his wife Eleanor's influence. He nevertheless failed to integrate the army. Reasoning that despite being a good thing, racial integration would interfere with war preparations. He listened to African-American (then called "Blacks" or "Colored" of course) leaders and their complaints and requests. He did too little, but did something by promoting a black officer to general. He prepared the way for later leaders.
But Black paints a true portrait of Roosevelt, warts and all. A quick count between pages 350 and 450 yielded no less than 12 rather unpleasant stories, anecdotes, or traits about FDR, including a shocking tale of ordering IRS investigation and prosecution of his political enemies with a viciousness unmatched even by Richard Nixon.
In spite of these failings, FDR's skills enabled him to build the New Deal and to successfully lead America into the war, to free America from the Depression, to free the world from Nazi oppression, and to keep the Soviet Union from attempting indiscriminate conquests. Black's book is one long justification of the subtitle: Champion of Freedom.
5.0 out of 5 stars comprehensive and incisive,
By A Customer
Comprehensive and incisive
Conrad Black's FDR: Champion of Freedom is a comprehensive and incisive one-volume political biography. FDR had so many achievements that his biographers tend either towards hagiography or towards elucidating facets of his leadership, such as the New Deal or WWII. The author strikes an admirable balance in unfolding FDR's remarkable life and accomplishments.
From rescuing America from the Depression, to shepherding America out of its prewar isolationism, to winning WWII, to setting up the modern world, one begins to appreciate the hard choices and hard work needed to turn each of these into reality. In retrospect, it all seems so straightforward and unambiguous. The author has the gift of transporting the reader back to times BEFORE things were so clear, when intelligent, informed men of integrity argued strongly against each of these accomplishments. Again and again, one is impressed with FDR's clarity of vision, determination, and agility in turning his vision into reality. No one of these is a small accomplishment; together they almost defy imagination.
FDR was a master of accepting tactical defeats in order to gain strategic success. He was maddeningly careful not to anger groups he would or might need to support aims broader than the controversies in which he was currently embroiled. This, naturally, led to (justified) accusations of not doing enough to support the right people in the right struggles. FDR was the ultimate utilitarian and opportunist, but he was keeping his options open in order to seize what he perceived (correctly) to be historic opportunities to advance his nation and the civilized world. It is in the juxtaposition of varied and at times scurrilous tactics with lofty and audacious goals where much of FDR's fascination lies.
In this political biography, the focus is always on the political aspects of this most political leader's efforts. There is no shrinking from the seamier aspects of FDR's manipulations. They are identified, explored, and fit into the bigger picture of this leader's accomplishments.
The author's own life at the intersection of business and politics gives him profound insight into the real workings of representative governments. This book can be compared to Churchill's biography of his ancestor, Marlborough, for its incisive commentary on their protagonists' skills in navigating domestic and international political waters. For this reason alone, FDR: Champion of Freedom deserves to be read.
The book is paced extremely well, with enough digressions and personal observations to give the reader breathing space between the enormous, Byzantine wranglings which generated FDR's major accomplishments. Also mentioned is Lillian Cross, a Miami housewife who, at a rally in 1932, bumped the arm of an assassin trying to kill President-Elect Roosevelt , almost certainly saving his life. From such tenuous threads are the destinies of men and nations woven.
The subtitle, taken from Churchill's eulogy in Parliament, is characteristically apt. A reader finishing this book will understand just how justified is this characterization.
The pivotal leader of the twentieth century has long deserved a readable, comprehensive, and insightful one-volume biography. Conrad Black has done a magnificent job. You really should read this one.
5.0 out of 5 stars Roosevelt: America's 20th Century Best,
P. Byrd (hickory, nc United States) - See all my reviews
Conrad Black has presented a superb biography of Franklin Roosevelt that is both fair and informative. While some will complain of the length-some 1200 pages-I encourage all to do their broadsword exercises in order to build up their wrists to handle this mighty work.
Lord Black's acknowlegments are weighty themselves and include but are not limited to: William F. Buckley Jr.,John Lukas, Henry Kissinger, George Will, Tom Wolfe, and several others of distinction.
Lord Black presents a very highly regarded portrait of America's foremost president of the 20th century, and while some are critical of the man, and others critical of the work, there is no doubt of its veracity and importance in understanding the immense accomplishments of this leader of America and the world.
Roosevelt's eary days are linked to his cousin, Theodore, and FDR married TR's niece, Eleanor. Roosevelt admired his cousin and his success, and there are some parallels with Theodore in his early political development, but FDR went on to accomplish so much more in domestic and international politics in such turbulent times.
In his peroration, Black covers with broad strokes FDR's accomplishments which include his role in saving Western civilization, moving America from isolationism, bringing America out of the Great Depression and laying the groundwork for the modern welfare state, saving American capitalism (that's right-he more than anyone),providing successful leadership in a world war, and laying the groundwork for the successful conclusion of the Allied victory and future relations with European powers.
His terms as President brought us acronyms such as: NRA, CCC, RFC,PWA,TVA, and NIRA. He successfully dealt with a variety of domestic foes including John L. Lewis, Charles Lindbergh, William Hearst, and Joseph Kennedy: he defeated Hitler and Tojo, as well as Mussolini,and contended with Stalin, DeGaulle, and the Vichy French. He developed a relationship with Winston Churchill that helped save the world from tyrany.
He believed in and challenged America both during the economic chaos of the 1930s and the incredible war production efforts of the 1940's. He was the catalyst behind it all.
And, in some respects, FDR's greatness is not limited to politics and war. He is known for the March of Dimes, for carving the turkey every Thanksgiving from 1926 to 1940 for handicapped children at Warm Springs. In some respects his battle with polio shows his indomitable spirit better than any conflict he faced and is a stentorian tribute to his determination.
He was not a common man but so many of the common men believed in him and listened faithfully to his fireside chats and shared his visions and beliefs in a better America and a liberated world.
He uplifted so many in every way that he could, and when he was gone on that day in April, just before the Allied victory, the world stopped for a moment and realized its loss.
Yes, it is a big book, and you need to read it.

I had dinner more than 10x here and was never disappointed. Surprising flavors and overall excellent experience. Service has always been outstanding and a good selection of wines including local vines from the area. Absolutely recommended!!!
We come here every time we are in town. They have locally sourced food in all of their dishes and everything tastes fantastic. They typically offer multi-course menus (one with meat, one with fish) as well as a la carte including vegetarian options. The staff is really great and helpful with special dietary needs and wine pairing recommendations.
Overall, as...
Very impressed when the starter arrived, good, fresh flavours...however, the main course was average and the desert poor...a shame because the food here has the potential to be very good. Service was good though.
You sure have to try the wine here! They have a large selection and will recommend you German wines too - they're from the region and delicious. The food is nice as well, and you can get a three or four course menu for around 35€.
Wonderful place in the middle of the wonderful Old Town. Cosy, classy, stilish, full of good people. The food is amazing, expect an explosion of flavor and things that you have never tasted before in that combination. I had the sea-fish-menu and was impressed! And it is not easy to impress me. The wine was excellent as well. For the...
Don't even bother going if you don't have reservations. We went there on a Monday evening, party of 2, before 7 pm, the restaurant was completely empty, but the waiter told us that they had no place since we had no reservations. And she was quite rude.
Maybe it is a cultural issue, but being a tourist city, they should...
This is one of the Heidelberg restaurants that I consistently recommend to friends or meet up with them there. I have enjoyed dinner over the past couple of years and never had a bad meal. There is also a wonderful wine list to match. The service is always friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend enjoying a meal here.
Among several tourist traps in the old town part of Heidelberg, Oskar is a gem with great food, terrific service and very well selected wines. In the summer evenings it is even pleasant with seating on the streets,
Each and every dish was excellent and technically cooked to perfection. Chic, minimalist wine décor. Friendly service. Fairly broad international wine list, only regret it was deeper with German choices. Quite enjoyable.
Oskar is a comfortable place, with a sober atmosphere. Food is chosen and well presented. There's a wide choice of wines. I found the service very friendly and therefore left a generous tip. I wasn't surprised by the bill, as price was about right for all the above.

ASIA/SYRIA - Syriac Orthodox Archbishop Alnemeh: "In Sadad, the largest massacre of Christians in Syria"
Sadad (Agenzia Fides) - "What happened in Sadad is the most serious and biggest massacre of Christians in Syria in the past two years and a half": this was stressed by Archbishop Selwanos Boutros Alnemeh, Syriac Orthodox Metropolitan of Homs and Hama, in illustrating to Fides the tragic death toll in the Christian town of Sadad, invaded by Islamist militias a week ago and then re-conquered by the Syrian army. "45 innocent civilians were martyred for no reason, and among them several women and children, many thrown into mass graves. Other civilians were threatened and terrorized. 30 were wounded and 10 are still missing. For one week, 1,500 families were held as hostages and human shields. Among them children, the elderly, the young, men and women. Some of them fled on foot travelling 8 km from Sadad to Al-Hafer to find refuge. About 2,500 families fled from Sadad, taking only their clothes, due to the irruption of armed groups and today they are refugees scattered between Damascus, Homs, Fayrouza, Zaydal, Maskane, and Al-Fhayle".
The archbishop continues showing all his bitterness: "There is no electricity, water and telephone in the city. All the houses of Sadad were robbed and property looted. The churches are damaged and desecrated, deprived of old books and precious furniture. Schools, government buildings, municipal buildings have been destroyed, along with the post office, the hospital and the clinic".
"What happened in Sadad - he says – is the largest massacre of Christians in Syria and the second in the Middle East, after the one in the Church of Our Lady of Salvation in Iraq, in 2010".
Archbishop Selwanos Boutros Alnemeh concludes: "We have shouted aid to the world but no one has listened to us. Where is the Christian conscience? Where is human consciousness? Where are my brothers? I think of all those who are suffering today in mourning and discomfort: We ask everyone to pray for us".
Sadad is a small town of 15,000 people, mostly Syriac Orthodox Christians, located 160 km north of Damascus. It has 14 churches and a monastery with four priests. (PA) (Agenzia Fides 31/10/2013)

"The invite was perfect for my daughters graduation, it matched her school colors and was beautiful, Tiny Prints helped me with online chat to figure out how to put a small picture on the back to really make the card special"
"I ordered the future dreams: red invitations- I have to say, it was done so professionally... Colors are so vivid and quality in paper was amazing... Whatever you personalize on line and once you see the final product on line - it's exactly how it will be when you get your order in mail...and I didnt even order any samples... Fantastic - I truly recommend Tiny Prints. Staff was very helpful and very professional - they did exactly what I wanted!!!"
"The pictures were sharp and beautiful. The color was amazing. Better in person than on the computer. Reminded me of the old Kodak commercials where they showed the difference in color when photos were printed on Kodak paper. I know friends and family will appreciate getting these announcements with photos and will keep them instead of tossing them in the trash in a few weeks like they would with traditional graduation announcements. And they were much more affordable! Win, win all around!"
"It was so easy to upload the photos and create this card. I wanted the college colors (USC), which was what attracted me to this card at first. But the text, the print (all lower case), the font, the card stock, quality of photo and overall look was fantastic. A ++! Clean, simple, yet elegant look. I can't wait to send this out to my guests and it will be a keepsake in our family."
"My family and friends loved this unique graduation announcement card. It was not boring like most companies. Although, I struggled with getting you a good picture for the card, your staff remained patient and customer friendly. I thank everyone I spoke to and assisted me with this process. It was a wonderful card and we received many compliments."

Listing articles 91 to 100 of 153
Features: 1,000 Inspectors Slated to Lose Jobs
A proposal by the USDA to phase out about 1,000 government inspection positions at poultry slaughter plants across the U.S. is a sensible move, said poultry experts interviewed by Food Quality.
Features: Will Closing 259 USDA Offices Affect Food Safety?
With $3 billion slashed from its operating budget since 2010, the USDA has announced it will close 259 offices beginning this year—including FSIS sites in Lawrence, Kan., Minneapolis, Minn., and Madison, Wis., along with 15 of the nearly 600 U.S. offices of the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service.
Features: California Takes Lead on Listeria
Listeria doesn't just make consumers ill—it can bring an industry to its knees.
Features: FDA May Modify Rule on Arsenic in Juice
In the wake of a Consumer Reports study that found levels of arsenic that exceeded the federal standards for bottled water (10 parts per billion, or ppb) in about 10% of sampled apple and grape juices, the FDA has said it will consider tightening its restrictions on arsenic levels in juice.
Departments: The Highest Calling
Over the past 100 years, the ways in which our food is produced, distributed, and regulated have changed dramatically. We have witnessed the maturation of our nation and the industry that keeps it fed. And, today, the concept of food safety is at the forefront of our national discourse. To ensure success in the future, we must be committed to learning from each of the significant—and lasting—lessons learned from our past.
Features: FDA Grants to Fund Food Safety Training
Grants to seven educational institutions from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will fund food safety training programs to help improve responses to foodborne illness outbreaks and other events, according to officials at grant recipient institutions.
Features: Organization Will Help Strengthen Food Safety Coordination
The Association of Food and Drug Officials (AFDO) received a grant from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to help strengthen interagency collaboration in the national food safety system, the AFDO announced.
Columns: Are We Almost There?
With the passage of the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has been tasked to create approximately 50 rules, guidance documents, reports, and studies—all of which all must be implemented within very specific time frames.
Columns: FSMA Takes Shape
In less than 12 months from now, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will begin requiring regulated food companies to demonstrate that they have adopted and implemented written food safety plans, with defined preventive controls designed to reduce or prevent food safety hazards.
News: Importers Resisting Call for Catfish Inspections
As the Office of Catfish Inspection Programs of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) prepares to implement a new requirement for the inspection of farm-raised catfish, a responsibility that's moving to the USDA from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Asian importers are resisting calls for a broad definition of just what counts as a "catfish" for inspection purposes.

good price perfect fit happy with that but top of windshield looks like a miss cut on about 4" spot other wise not bad deal
racer705020 Posted:
I bought two sizes windshields, one 10" and one 8" because I was not sure which would suit my needs/preference. The 10" windshield very top area was coated or colored black which was nice but the middle section of the very top was marred up. I noticed it after I put it on the bike to test it for size while I was on the bike. Had I seen it before I would have returned it immediately, but since I mounted the item, I assumed that I could no longer return it. I do blame myself for missing the defect before trying the item. The 8" windshield very top area was also coated or colored black, but after mounting and riding with it on, the coating quickly disappeared. I was disappointed in the quality of the top cut of the windshield, but I am keeping this item on my bike.

I think the windshield works great Also the price wasn't bad either.
adccop Posted:
The windscreen was easy to install and replaced the factory windscreen without any required modification. To date it has held up fine and is not displaying any surface scratches from normal cleaning or dings from bugs or road debris. I would recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a shorter and clear windscreen.
lovinlife Posted:
The height of the windshield is perfect for me. The windshield is easy to clean and seems to resist scratches. I purchased the same windshield 3 yrs ago and it just now is starting to get cloudy.

Need a Garden Designer
jwillislawJuly 5, 2013
Folks: I need a garden designer to plan a a 30' long perennial/shrub border garden. While I prefer natives, I am hardly a purist. The garden must be fairly deer-resistant, the soil is superb and the light seems to be part shade. The property is in the Lower Merion Township area. I prefer informal English type borders but I am flexible.
I will also need someone to help me with designing some large containers.
If the relationship goes well, there will be opportunities in another property in the King of Prussia area.
Mike Larkin
Unfortunately you are a little far for me. hope you found someone to help - post to let us know how you made out.
