Both Mr Sikorski and Mr Rostowski are Polish citizens. Mr Sikorski renounced his acquired British citizenship when he became a government minister many years ago. Mr Rostowski, born in the UK and by right a British citizen, acquired Polish citizenship when he became a government minister in the present administration. Polish law, in common with British law, allows for dual citizenship.
The countries of CEEurope, both within and without the EU, are all exhibiting the symptoms of at best only 21 years of newly created democracies, after a minimum of 45 years of authoritarian communist rule which followed the devastation of World War II and the pre-war mix of failed democratic governments and authoritarian regimes. It takes time and a constant evolutionary change based on earlier experiences and memories to reach a stable mature democratic consensus. The political spectrum is wide and some of today's politicians and their parties in many countries seem to be hankering for the "good old days" of pre-war authoritarian wing nationalism. Chasing myths?
Populist politicians are certainly not limited to CEEurope: Look at western Europe and the problems of disjointed societies there, be it Italy(!) France or for that matter, the UK. All supposedly mature democracies. And is the USA any better with its lunatic fringe on the right (Tea Party) which is dragging the Republicans and by default the USA into an abyss.
As to Poland, the Kaczynskis' party seems to have shrunk into a "verbally violent" permanent decline based on a hard core of persons hankering for the "good old days" of Polish communism when the State guaranteed work, pensions, healthcare and a barely tolerable standard of living (downwards equality). Its more extreme allies the LPR and Samoobrona (led by Mr Lepper who committed suicide last week) both lost all their Parliamentary seats 4 years ago and have been confined to the dustbin of history.
As a reader familiar with politics in Hungary, I find this article disappointingly superficial, if not downright cynical in its evasion of the troubling truth. Mention of the Orbán government's latest insanity is followed by an oddly generous rehearsal of the party line apologetics and a plea for appeasement: the upshot seems to be that "some easterners may be irritating, noisy and unfashionable" but westerners shouldn't get hung up on matters of style. Evidently, as Europe teeters on the brink of collapse, The Economist prefers to make light of troubling developments in those barbarian eastern provinces.
Readers interested in going beyond such banalities may want to read these articles:
or here:
That someone is extremely rich does not necessarily mean that they will be wise enough to give others some sensible advice. I can well imagine someone completely stupid to be rich.
from Gdansk,
There was a fellow named Alfred Korzybski, who said: "A map doesn't represent the whole territory", i.e. you must set your foot on the territory's ground in order to adequately judge things there, yet on the other hand some aspects of our problems could only be seen from some farther perspective, i.e. from London. One cannot be one's own judge. Having said that, I must admit that I am a bit confused whenever I think of the two Islanders holding two most important ministerial positions in the Polish government: Sikorski and Rostowski. They are both GB citizens. Why don't the British, a charge de revanche, take Polish Cimoszewicz and Balcerowicz as their foreign and financial ministers, respectively? Let's play international, but both ways (sic). We have Poles to export too!
Oh, and a prime example of a politician presenting himself to be someone he isn't is Donald Tusk, because 'emollient' towards his own compatriots he most certainly isn't.
In true democracies politics are local.Therefore there is no reason why foreign journalists should understand them if they don't make the required effort. That's not actually the responsibility of the politicians, if its a true democracy we're talking about. Nothing worse than a politician pretending to be someone s/he isn't. The results are invariably catastrophic, like when Roosevelt and Churchill tried to pretend before Stalin that they too were gangsters. To really understand Central and East European politicians you have to live in that country, pay the taxes, drive the wretched roads to work every day (if you're lucky enough to have a car and work) and (something increasingly fewer inhabitants have) posses a general understanding of your country's history, of your parents' and grandparents' aspirations, as well as realistic as possible plans for your children/grandchildren. Some of the concerns are very similar to those of the inhabitants of the UK after the recent riots - "the youth of today!" The demographic decline and pensions. But others are entirely different. Yes, the neighbours (two in particular) is a very important case in point. There are actually worse things than the French across the channel. And there has always been such a thing as infiltration. Central and East Europeans aren't islanders.
The Kaczynskis, Klaus, Orban and Saakashvili all have strong support from local people with good reason. And those who support these politicians are in no way fanatics, they are often well educated, sometimes even very successful, but primarily all have a strong sense of local identity. Is that wrong? Certainly not, please think again about the UK riots.
The job of true politicians is to appeal to their electorate not foreign journalists.
Some of such leaders deserved everything they got, others didn't or do not really do.
Possibly it si all still about "those little countries we don't really known nothing about" - just see even more recent TV series produced in Anglo-Saxon countries (which thanks also to English language tend to dominate popular culture) and their projection of various views about countries of former communist Europe.
Every strange politician just confirms certain views so they tend to linger for a little longer.
It will take a while before it changes, but for now it is sometimes bloody annoying to read how "Eastern Europe" is going to implode because something happens somewhere.
It is annoying because exchange rates change by 5 and more percent in a week while you are bidding on eBay... Too personal? But that is one of easiest and most direct consequences of shaky trust in regional economies also caused by entrenthced views amplified and rewoken by politicians with issues or just... bad PR.
Still isn't the last thing one of visable consequences of poor management skills?
Finally, maybe untill a country becomes a recognisable brand with a respected name - it might be a company like Skoda - or a whole bunch of them it still matters more that Mr. X is acting like a madman. When it stops it will be just 'nothing to see, move along'.
Schaudenfreude is probably bad feeling, but at least some leaders of CEE countries are entitled to experience it when reading about their counterparts in western Europe or America - politicians risking a default just because they cannot get along? Political elites engulfed in contacts with journalist scums? Prime minister of a large EU economy spending more time defending himself from consequences of sex scandals? Political elites of a wealthy European country damaging its economy for noone knowns how long because they spent too much time playing golf with bankers?
Perhaps it is time for a nice reversal? Wouldn't be all that unusual - it did happen in the past, in some cases for centuries even so maybe things are getting more normal and more balanced i.e. the way they should be.
Sharp observations! Congrats!
I think it would be conunterproductive to send Gyurcsány to jail. There is lot of corruption cases from the past to invastigate and prosecute rather than arresting former PM-s for catastrophic fiscal policy. FIDESZ will not have a competitve opposition in the near future as the three partis (Jobbik, MSZP, LMP) are divided or even declining, so they could work on bold policies and bring unpopular decisions to revive the economy and close the fiscal hole.
Oh dear! "Countries needing favours from their richer counterparts" - and you are surprised that "such analysis" doesn't go well in Central Europe!
Need I insist pointing out the dirt in that? ... or in "Eastern Europe" name insult (because it pools together Central Europe with the Russian language area) ??
Need I remind you that there is always a pay-back time? Oh, you are rich and strong and have no fear! We are just an "awkward squad from th East". Why don't you sleep on this nice idea ... We'll wake you up when the time has come.

Propylene was copolymerized with allylanisole (AA) using Me2Si(Ind)2ZrCl2 and Et(Ind)2ZrCl2, and the methylaluminoxane MAO cocatalyst at 70 °C and a cocatalyst to catalyst (Al:Zr) molar ratio of 1 000. It was fed at 8.5 bar(g). The weight-average molecular weight, , for both metallocenes decreased as the AA feed concentration increased. Therefore, allylanisole acted as an in situ chain transfer agent. The chain transfer constants, ktr/kp, of AA for Et(Ind)2ZrCl2 and Me2Si(Ind)2ZrCl2 turned out to be 0.33 and 0.40, respectively. The characterization of the resulting products by 1H NMR demonstrated that AA end-capped the isotactic poly(propylene) chains which showed to be low molecular weight oligomers; 4.96 × 103 ≤ ≤ 9.80 × 103. An appropriate chain transfer mechanism for AA has been proposed.

Loved the space, really got more than we expected. Exceptional value with full kitchen, dining table, living room & bedroom/bath in each unit. One was a bit larger with private balcony. Would highly recommend & if in Branson again will be the place to stay.
We had an A & B unit that each had a door off a private main entrance to the two units, would have liked a way to keep those doors open, since there was still a locking exterior door. But everything else was great.
The property was nicely appointed and well-maintained.We had no problems, the location is great, and the staff was friendly. Although I was there for a conference, my family was very comfortable there and we enjoyed our stay very much.
The room was very clean and the bed was comfortable. A great motel to stay in the Branson area and the price was very reasonable.
Walked in the room and the first 2 lights you came to did not work. Bathroom was extremely small.
The swimming pool was nice
My room smelled like urine and had to stay in it for two nights. They couldn't moves us until the third night. Ended up getting a scented candle to burn to freshen the room.
Hard beds. I slept on pullout couch. It was softer than the bed.
The location was convenient.
The room was clean and updated.
The free breakfast had better-than-average variety, including some fairly healthy choices; we were satisfied until lunchtime.
The staff were very friendly and hard-working. Also, the manager and a maintenance worker helped me solve a minor problem with my car, which was certainly beyond their job duties.
Refrigerator was quite large, and the microwave was useful.
The pool was small (only 3-ft deep), and the pool area could use some updates (although it was well-maintained and clean).
The pillows were not good.
Noise from the floor above was annoying.
Breakfast had limited choices in fresh fruit (only bananas).
Room was small (but maybe it's in proportion to the price).
Friendly staff, good location.
Small rooms, but that is due to the age of the hotel.
Getting to a room.
I dropped by earlier in the day to confirm the room and to pay for it. However, before I returned that evening, they had resold the very room assigned to me! I was given another room. Thank you.
Checked in about 8pm, gentlmen at the desk was very nice and helpful. Room was clean and easy to find.
the knobs for the a/c - heater was broken, could not get it to turn on. Managed to get thru the night and when I reported it in the morning to the front desk they did not seem to care.
Value for the dollar and the staff was nice....room was clean...shower was hot...all that mattered.
Breakfast was ??
Renovated rooms were clean and comfortable.
Walls are thin and you could hear children running in the hallway and the breakfast crowd in the breakfast room so we couldn't sleep in.
Great location for shops & shows
Breakfast very busy, bus loads, but check front desk before you go down. Crowds
Cleared in a few minutes. No problem.
It was simple, affordable, and they had an indoor pool. Staff was really friendly and welcoming.
Friendly and helpful staff. The room was better equipped than I expected with kitchen items, a large refrigerator and microwave, dishwasher and stove top.
First floor room did not have view of the lake.

Anyone do away with their kitchen table and extend their island??
Hi..First time posting but I have to say I have gotten so many wonderful pieces of advice for my new kitchen reno that I am about to start. Just ordered my Shiloh cabinets on Friday.
I have had a brain storm, and was wondering if anybody else opted for this idea, if so - any pictures or advice/information would be awesome!
I have an island that is 50" and I want to extend it to seat 4 or 5 people (thinking of lowering it a bit as well). We are also putting in a snack bar, so I am not worried about the table space, per say, but wanted to get any opinions I could on this.
I have picked out a Maple cabinet in Acorn with a Black Glaze. Haven't decided on the countertops yet. Any suggestions? We have hardwood floors that will be refinished to compliment the colors chosen. Backsplash ideas are a tumbled stone with a copper 2x2 accent piece - but nothing ordered thus far. So many decisions - crazy! Help me - I feel as if this is starting to consume my every minute of everyday.
Large islands are "in" right now. I hadn't actually been able to draw one that I liked for my own kitchen, but I posted my floor plan here and got an interesting possibility. You might try drawing it out and see what feedback you get.
You can see it in the thread titled "Repost: Kitchen layout feedback, please."
I wanted ... I really wanted an island.
But it was not the best option for our family. We had to
figure out how we use our space and make practical
choices. And somehow the table was a good choice
for our family.
My oldest uses the nook every day for hw. I use
the nook to have my cupofjoe and read the paper. I rarely
sit at the counter. However the 2 other kids sit at the
counter every night. It was a compromise that works for
Is it as pretty as an island? No but it works and looks
pretty in it's own way. If you find you never use your
breakf,ast ta,ble then get a giant island. Make your kitchen
practical for you.
yep and it was the BEST decision we made! We have so much more functioning space now. We started with a typical 1980s kitchen with a peninsula. We removed the peninsula and moved the sink. I worked hard at planning my appliance placement first, then let the shape of the island evolve. It ended up being an "L" shape and we couldn't be happier. We now have ample seating for 8. It works really really well for us - seating, flow, and workspace.
Here is the before when we first bought the house (the kitchen had an attached breakfast nook on the other side of the peninsula) and after:
The first question I'd ask: is this your only eating space? If it is, then I'd really caution against island seating. I have a friend who has that and it's very limiting. If you have a dining room, then I'd echo what others have said to look at what's best for your family and space.
I love having a kitchen table and wouldn't give it up, although after looking at lagrant's amazing kitchen island, I could probably have been convinced!
Good luck-
Great island Lagrant! I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to use your island to point out to the OP what to consider if she goes forward with this idea...your island shows how it can be done right!
Considerations: For younger and older people, seating higher than table-height can be uncomfortable If seating is all in a row, then it is not very conducive for conversation, you'll be sitting "like ducks in a row". Notice Lagrant's island...it has seating on 3 sides...much more people-friendly than most islands I see out there. It really looks like a giant table w/a sink at the end with the advantage of extra storage and a wonderfully large expanse of workspace for large projects and at a nice working height. Keep in mind that if you lower the seating side, it has the same negative effect on workspace, etc. that raising the seating has...it eliminates that nice expanse of workspace I mentioned above. To me, more than one level actually negates the positive benefits. To mitigate the negative impact of more than one level, try to keep the seating on one end...sort of like a table attached to the island. The other end of the island would then give you that wonderful expanse of workspace. If you plan to eat meals at the island, do not put your Cleanup Zone (i.e., main/cleanup sink & DW) in the island near the seats... Even more importantly, don't put your Cooking Zone (i.e., cooktop/range) in the island anywhere near the seats either (actually, don't put your cooktop/range anywhere in the island!) Again, notice the relationship b/w the sink & seats in Lagrant's island...the sink is on one end and the seating is on the other...no one is looking directly into a sink full of dirty dishes and no one has dirty dishes looming over them while eating! Do you have a DR or other table space elsewhere? If not, I would not eliminate your table. Family meals are more "intimate" at a table than sitting at an island, especially "special" family gatherings such as birthdays, holiday dinners, etc. If this will be your primary seating, I very, very strongly advise you to meet or exceed the NKBA Guidelines for seating space...including linear space and overhang and aisle space around the seats!
NKBA Guidelines:
Overhang [Guideline 9: Seating Clearance]
30" high tables/counters ("table-height"): 18" overhang
Allow a 24" wide x 18" deep knee space for each seated diner and at least 18" of clear knee space
36" high counters ("counter-height"): 15" overhang
Allow a 24" wide x 15" deep knee space for each seated diner and at least 15" of clear knee space.
42" high counters ("bar-height"): 12" overhang
Allow a 24" wide x 12" deep knee space for each seated diner and 12" of clear knee space.
- Remember: These are minimums
Seating/linear space (an extension of the above)
24" per seat (2 feet). So, for two people, you need at least 48" or 4 feet. For 8 people, you need at least 16 feet (8 people x 2')
Thanks, Buehl - you really hit on a lot of important points we considered when moving forward with this plan. I will say that many KDs fought me on it or wanted me to put the range/cooktop in it (?!?!?!??!?!?!). Uh, NO.
To reinforce our experience with what Buehl said:
We do have a formal dining room, so this is not our only seating for meals. I would discourage anyone considering eliminating their only real "table".
Overhang - adequate overhang is imperative for comfort. Also, I did not want teenage shoe scuff marks all over my island back.
Non-linear Seating - We have 7 in our family and love to have lively dinner discussions. The ability to face others is key.
Unexpected benefits - The kids all crawl out of their rooms and actually CHOOSE to do their homework at the island. They love the light and the ability to spread out. I am thrilled with this unplanned change in behavior! It did not happen when we had a table in place.
Please let me know if you have any questions!!
This is what I did for our family (granite is not on yet in this picture):
We have 5 in our family, so we did an island that will be our main eating area. I did the seating area table height because we have small kids, and neither me or my husband are very tall. We do also have a dining table that we will use if there are more people over, but for our everyday, we will use this. If you have the room to extend your island, I would, but I wouldn't do away with having another dining option.
I got rid of my Kit. table, but I also knocked down the wall between the kit. and DR, and our DR became the main eating area. It was hardwood all the way thru. So really, I lost a formal DR, but gained an awesome kit. eating area. I also extended my island into where the kit. table was and was able to angle it to see 3 - 4. Mainly for kids homework/breakfast, etc. So I didn't really lose a table. I thought for resale, I had plenty of seating, and our kitchen was nice enough that the need for a formal DR wasn't necessary. It worked... sold fast.
We've been eating all our meals at the island & I love it. I do wish we had slightly more room per person, but we've got it so that the two tallest (my DH & my oldest DS) or on the edges & it works out just fine. Nobody has complained about it so far (& believe me, my kids would speak up lol!) We do have a formal dining room, but I love having everyone in the kitchen with me.It's a great space for homework & crafts too. It's only been a few weeks, but I'm really enjoying our island instead of a traditional table.
keptoz -- do you use the island as a prep space, too? Is getting the prep stuff cleaned up and the table ready for dinner an issue? Do the kids want to do homework while you want to cook, and is there enough space?
I'm trying to decide if I want my "big island" layout option to have an upper level separate prep area and a lower seating level. The upper level would be small compared to some islands, but definitely usable, and it would create a definite dividing line between the two uses of the island. I could see having a long flat surface, too. It's certainly attractive that way, and by not having a definite dividing line, projects like Christmas cookies that need more than the usual amount of space could easily spread out over the whole area.
Yes. Mine functions as janet describes. No, it's not an issue. No kids here. The table is small as there are only two of us; we squeeze three there at times. I wanted to continue to use my dining room so having more than 3 requires us to go elsewhere. It's lovely to leave the kitchen mess and go into a calm space without all the preparation visible.
Janet .. I do use that space for prep, but usually, by the time the kids get home from school after sports & dance, I'm cleaned up & have dinner already in the oven (remember - I've only had this island for just a few weeks now!) It is big though approx 4' x 6', so I think there is plenty of room for all of us. I was originally going to do a bi-level island to separate out the prep area, but changed my mind at the 11th hour. I just felt we'd all get more use out of the big island (I was thinking about kid's poster projects & my cookie sheets!)
Danielle - thank you! I'm loving it too!
Maryellenr - thank you - its called Brown Tan (also seen it as Tan Brown). The granite yard said its one of the more popular (level 1) colors. I really like it because it has both brown & black in it & was less expensive than many other choices.
I have a island similar to rtorgy1's - a drop down to table height. We have knee walls as part of the support structure, and there's 18" of leg space.
We do have a formal dining room, but we only use it when guests are over. Our nightly meals (family of 4) are at the island, and the girls sit there to draw, do homework, eat snacks, etc. We LOVE it and don't miss having a separate kitchen table at all. The island has really become the family hub for us.
Some cons:
- our configuration has a bit of dead space in the center, but I've since put in some big glass jars for decoration. When we're hosting parties, though, the extra space is awesome for setting up chafing dishes, etc.
- I don't personally like eating at bar-height, especially with my kids, so I'm really happy going with table height. I find, however, that at parties, no one ever sits down at the table like they did at the bar at my last house. Everyone stands AROUND the island, but no one sits down. I think if it were a bar, people would feel more comfortable sitting down and chatting.
I have never had a kitchen table. We have a dining table/room (our floor plan is completely open and there are no dividing walls) that seats as much as 10 to 12 comfortably. There is no room for both kitchen table AND an island in the house. We generally have the dining table arranged so that is comfortable for 4. The leaves come out when needed. I think traditional large dining table that is set for 8 can be uncomfortable only for 4.
Our kitchen has a large island 8 ft of flat one level surface. We eat breakfast and weekend lunches on the island. We eat all of our dinners in the dining room/table.
The flat uninterrupted surface of the island was one thing that I wanted to make sure I keep in this remodel. I would not have it any other way. We like using it for simple meals, prep, wrapping presents, home work etc.
Since we do not eat dinner on the island, getting prep stuff cleaned off is not an issue for us. We also eat weekend breakfast in the dining area.
I would not want to eat "dinner" on the island. I think eating together requires facing each other and talking and conversing and breaking bread together. This means you either need to configure the island so that it is more comfortably shaped for conversation OR eat at a table.
just my two cents.
Mari-thank you so much. The kitchen walls, adjoining hallway, and family room are painted charcoal grey. The cabinets are white.
mom2reese - just love that kitchen! great job! if you find your light fixture missig one day, know that I snuck in and stole it.
I wanted to be supportive here of kaismoms opin.
I feel like sitting down for dinner requires a transition in space. I like the walk across the space that means I'm away from the prep area. It makes me feel like now we are ready to relax and enjoy dinner! Eating at an island has always made me feel rushed and uncomfortable.
With a table, someone can get up and go clean/etc in the kitchen area if they want or need to without disturbing the people at the table. With only an island you are sitting there watching someone clean while trying to enjoy your meal. My grandmother (I'm early 30's)always stood at the bar counter to eat her food when I was growing up. She never would QUITE make the transition to actually sitting down and enjoying the meal. It was always, go ahead without me I just want to clean up this last thing... and then getting things for those seated and then beginning the cleaning up. I've always thought that if we could have gotten the kitchen table just another few feet away from that bar how much different her life might have been.
Looking at each other is important to me for a meal to really allow us to talk about our days and what's happening with us. If we go to a restaurant I never sit at the bar style areas. I always want to be on one side of a booth with the DH on the other so we can hold hands and do dorky stuff like that. I like to arue with him as he reads my paper upside down and steal his clean fork when I've dropped mine. I don't feel like these things would happen if we were sitting shoulder to shoulder instead of face to face.
I don't like island seating as a general rule but I can't stand it as the only dining space.
Sorry to hijak, but holy cow, mom2reese, your kitchen is the picture we used for our inspiration kitchen! The designer that is helping me searched for dark cherry cabinets, and your picture was one of the results, and I loved your island configuration so much, yours is the one we went with! She had just emailed me the pic, but I didn't know where it came from- so now I am guessing this site! :) I also loved your light fixture so much we searched for something similar. My kitchen is not done yet, so I haven't seen the light up. I think the one I got was from plc lighting or something like that. Wow, small world!
jdougjo, my island is very similar to the one in your rendering. It is 32''-33'' high and 40'' wide. We use Crate & Barrel counter-height chairs (not shown). The dining chairs are not quite high enough. All of our meals are eaten at the island. It functions like a table as we sit across from each other. A third person fits comfortably on the end. Any more than that, and we use the dining room.
The end drawers store all that is needed for food prep.
Behind the first set of doors are 6'' shelves for can storage. The second set are deeper and store the rice cooker, blender, all rices and pastas.
Aisles are 40'' to the clean-up sink and 36'' to the cooktop.
Hi,we just bought a brand new house. The problem with it is that the kitchen island is very small. It is currently a simple rectangle with storage below. Were moving from a home that had a large pantry,which is missing from the new one.As a result we need more storage. What I would like to do is extend the island where at least four people could sit around and that could give us some more storage underneath.I do not want a kitchen table so the space could be used for a island however I do not want to cut off the flow from the hallway,family room and kitchen. Any suggestions would be appreciated Thanks!
Here is a link that might be useful: kitchen island=to small


text: The stock is still shaky after the blow received due to disappointing earnings. It looks weak, and may remain subdued for some time. The good part is that the valuations have become even more attractive after the 12% shave off. Analysts have a consensus target of around $34 for Microsoft, and the stock will be reasonably valued even that price. There are other analysts with much higher price targets, but those may be pruned soon in light of the results. The negative part is that there are doubts about the future pace of growth. Declining PC sales is a major worry, and it remains to be seen how the other products / cloud services etc. are going to make up for the void. There are indications that the future may not be that bad. Furthermore, all companies, whether Google (GOOG), Facebook (FB) or Yahoo (YHOO) etc. are focusing strongly on adjusting to the transition of the users from PCs to mobile devices. Selling ads on mobile devices or selling software for mobile, all efforts will require some learning. It will also impact the companies financially due to factors like lower ad rates on mobiles. The Online Services Division remains a worry as it has continuously been in the red. Google remains the frontrunner by a huge margin in the search engine sphere, and the social media space faces competition from big and small, global and regional players. Concepts like social media sponsorship are attracting advertisers, with companies like IZEA (IZEA) attempting to leverage the potential. It is important for Microsoft to get it right during this transition phase, and innovation remains the key to success. As stated by the management, there is surely a need for "compelling innovative tools and high worth experiences from the company to bolster sales".

Laundry Drain
jr3andbApril 27, 2011
I am building a custom home and my builder does not want to put a drain in the laundry room because he says they are not really necessary anymore and the drain can be smelly. I think there should be a drain but I'm not a builder. Any thoughts?
The drain will only be smelly if the water in the sewer trap dries up. This happens to a shower stall in our home that we never use. To fix that, you pour a gallon of water down the drain to fill the trap, and the odor goes away. Often I remember to pour the water down *before* it dries up, and we never get the odor.
If I had the option of a drain in the floor of my laundry room, I would take it.

is something like this
useable to aerate the wort prior to pitching yeast, or is it something else entirely? I've heard of people using oxygen stones, with oxygen canisters, but I've used this with some positive results.
This is good, I haven't seen a discussion on this in awhile. I let the chilled wort fall into the carboy from the top. This creates a lot of foaming but at least I know its getting a little oxygen in there. Then I shake like mad. Basic Brewing Radio did a show on this I think and they found out that shaking really doesn't do anything. But I don't really care because I make good beer and don't want to spend the money on more equipment right now. (actually I do want to spend the money I just shouldn't).
If you don't do a complete boil, then you should not worry too much about this aeration. Just get your stirrer spoon and do a 3-5 minutes vigourous stir.
For high-gravity brews I use O2 through a stone, but for "normal" gravity ones I aerate by running it through the airlock...the piece at the bottom of it breaks apart the stream into 4 streams and aerates the bejesus out of it. Get lots of foam in the fermenter and I can keep the lid on (not sealed, to let displaced air escape), means one less thing to touch the wort.
This, of course, I don't do without pitching the proper amount of healthy yeast. Always, every time.
I just bought one of those mix/stir rods a couple of months ago, and it seems to work ok. I can't say that I've seen any improvement over shaking the Carboy, but it sure is easier to use!
My only thought looking at that rod is that it looks awfully sharp on the ends. I wouldn't want to be using that on my plastic fermenter in case I introduced scratches to it.

McEnroe says he took steroids unknowingly
MELBOURNE, Australia -- Andre Agassi, defending the integrity of tennis dented by the Greg Rusedski nandrolone affair, on Wednesday said he was at a "loss for words" over John McEnroe's comments about drugs in the sport.
Former world No. 1 McEnroe, now a respected broadcaster and tennis pundit, told a British newspaper on Sunday that he had been given steroids without his knowledge during his career.
"For six years I was unaware I was being given a form of steroid of the legal kind they used to give horses until they decided it was too strong even for horses," McEnroe said.
Agassi, in Melbourne before the defense of his Australian Open crown, was incredulous.
"Well, you try to find the understanding in why some people choose to say the things that they do and in reference to those specific quotes or admissions, I am not quite sure who that benefits.
"I just find myself (at) a bit of a loss for words when it comes to that sort of stuff being expressed. I'm not sure what to say about that."
With the media focus on Rusedski and the Briton's admission last week that he had tested positive for the banned steroid nandrolone at a tournament in the U.S. in July, Agassi once again leapt to the defence of the sport.
"Our game is built on sportsmanship, it's built on respect for the game, and I think there were many years when it wasn't the business that it is today," he said.
"As the nature of the game has changed I think it has left room for the potential, like any other sport, for the odd person to look for an advantage, even an unfair advantage.
"But with that being said, I believe the game has evolved every bit as quickly when it comes to the process of detecting the cheats.
"I just find that every positive test that may come out is a reflection of just how serious our drug-testing program is.
"I think we have moved with the times, I think it is a very healthy approach towards the drug-testing process."
Rusedski says he is convinced he will be cleared of any wrongdoing at a hearing in Montreal on Feb. 9.
He says that more than 40 top tennis players have shown "elevated levels" of the substance, and argues that he is being singled out.

Arizona could be in the running for Tesla Motors' new battery plant
- Mike Sunnucks
- Senior Reporter- Phoenix Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Facebook
Tesla Motors is looking to build a large new factory in North America to make battery cells for its upscale, high-powered electric vehicles.
The Phoenix area — in particular Chandler — could be in the running for the new factory.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk said during a conference call earlier this week the Palo Alto, Calif.-based automaker is looking at manufacturing its own battery cells to keep up with demand. Musk said the factory would likely be in North America and would be solar-powered. The company manufacturers its electric cars at a plant in Fremont, Calif.
We've heard the Valley could be in the running for the possible battery plant. There is available land and space in the Valley including former Motorola space in Chandler. There's also plenty of parcels and space in other parts of the Valley ranging from Goodyear to the Mesa Gateway Airport area.
A Tesla spokesman declined comment.
"We do not have any plans that we can share at this time," said Tesla spokesman Patrick Jones.
Economic development executives and local Chandler officials also declined or did not respond to requests for comment.
Earlier this week, Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL) announced it was locating a 700-worker domestic manufacturing plant at the former GM Proving Ground development in Mesa. An Apple entity bought First Solar's failed Mesa factory for $113.6 million and will locate a factory at that site.
The Apple plant will be powered by a solar farm it will develop along with Salt River Project.
Apple also is in line for property, energy, manufacturing and high-wage job creation tax breaks from the state.

ITACARE HOUSE Located in the north of Brazil, with a unique natural beauty, the house is essentially a refuge for the enjoyment of the landscape and the surroundings. Rather than compete with the natural environment, the challenge was to find a solution that allows us to live alongside the place while having as little effect on it as possible. The use of stone, water and the relationship between the internal and external spaces became the principal theme. 1

Hi: 12° Lo:4°
By Liam Moakes Monday 04 February 2013 Updated: 07/02 12:31
THE FINAL fixture of the Gloucester Cross Country League was held at Plock Court on Saturday and it made a nice change for the Bromsgrove & Redditch Athletic Club members to be back racing on green grass after the last few weeks of racing on snow and ice.

well my srihng plant i dont think are going to make it now very dry but i have some cuttins indoor trying to root them i may have started to late. oh well i can buy plants think ill do cherry this fall maybe i can find sungold they are the best for me i have seeds but its to late to start i did start some zucinni im looking forword to the flowers there so good fried in egg wash and romano cheese or stuffed with a little pepper jack then fried in egg wash. ill be lookin for tomato plant at my usual haunts any advice on where to get plants ernie in surprise.
I've kept my three tomato plants alive all summer, and towards the middle of august they started looking pretty ragged, but they're definitely perking up now. They sense a difference in the weather. Keep them shaded a little while longer if you do plant them now. If you're doing seedlings, I suggest starting them indoors so that you have older plants when you feel safe to put them in the ground. if you're going with plants, find the biggest largest ones you can find, they stand the best chance of giving you a better crop this fall. If you protect your tomato plants through the frost, expect a bumper crop come spring.
I am happy that your plants made it through the summer. (at least someones did) I am putting them into large pots to grow. We are excited to eat fresh tomatoes again! The heat is starting to go down but I will still keep them shaded. When it gets below 90, they won't need the shade anymore correct?
bought some cherry, big beef , and early girl bush with toms on it already there doing good. im shadeing with burlap now was useing a comercial sun screen from lowes witch is now over squash doing good ill be moving toms to the sunnest spot today will still shade with burlap as they get tougher. al's mix is holding up seems better this planting as the pine fines i used wernt to fine but broke down some.looking forward to useing for yrs. it was worth the effort to mix it for my large containers 18 to 26 gal. jerseymariah get some strong well developed plants shade for now youll do ok . ernest

I did it this year. Was very muddy. Very well organised l lots of walkers and no mass start.
Cortisol also has a role to play in regaining the fat.
for me if I eat simple sugars I pile the weight on.
Ecce you have made some brilliant gains there. consistent miles is a big key so no injuries. The way you are going you will smash a 4 hour marathon before you know it.
i still sort of follow this. well for 3 runs a week I run at 73% of Max which is 8.25 min miles. The rest of the time I am on the fells as looking at doing the bob graham next year, and it is impossible to keep the heart rate down.
How long are you out for GKD? I read the race report so know it's a long injury.
im doing the 60.
I've got the montane minimus smock which was leaking. On inspection I noticed that it had delaminated on the inside. Now I have only worn this about 5 times as tend to just carry on if raining.
so I emailed montane complaining about this and their response was that I should of washed it more often Even after so few uses. I am bitterly disappointed in both the smock and the response I have had and will never buy any of their products again.
anymone else had this problem?

Christopher Heine | February 23, 2012 | Comments
Stephen McIntyre and Shailesh Rao are tasked with increasing international ad sales.
Twitter has poached two Google execs with international ad sales experience - Shailesh Rao (pictured, top) and Stephen McIntyre (below) - to attract more spend from SMBs and big brands.
McIntyre will help run Twitter's forthcoming self-service ad platform, resuming a role he played for Google in Ireland during the last seven years. He'll manage the platform from Dublin and appears to be tasked with cultivating European marketers' interest in Promoted Tweets and Promoted Accounts. Twitter ultimately aims to get small businesses around the globe hooked on its marketing products the way they have regularly spent budget on Google and Facebook advertising in recent years.
Rao is charged with setting up Twitter's direct sales teams in countries and regions, the San Francisco firm said, where it "is ready to monetize its service." He comes from Google's Asia display ads division.
Adam Bain, Twitter's global revenue head, announced the hires early this morning by tweeting to his 8,500-plus followers. In a prepared statement released later today, he stated, "2012 will be a pivotal year for Twitter and our advertising business. These hires are key to bringing our Promoted Products to more markets around the world and helping businesses everywhere get value from advertising on Twitter. I couldn't be more excited."
Bain's been busy in recent months cherry-picking Google talent. In December, his company brought aboard U.K. YouTube sales head Bruce Daisley to run its sales team in that country.

My only problem is that it doesn't have a kitchen and I have come to expect self catering facilities at a hostel. But as there is no other proper hostel in Llanndudno it still represents the best value in town and the helpfulness of the staff was second to none.
