Alex Ferguson's wines expected to score with buyers: Christie's
LONDON (REUTERS) - To take his mind off the pressure of "the beautiful game", retired Manchester United boss Alex Ferguson collected vintage wines that will be sold at auction starting in Hong Kong in May, Christie's said on Wednesday.
The collection of about 5,000 bottles assembled by one of soccer's most successful managers will be sold along with memorabilia signed by Ferguson and has a pre-sale estimated value of £3 million (S$6.3 million), the auction house said.
The cellar consists almost 75 per cent of Domaine de la Romanee-Conti, a French Burgundy which Christie's International Director of Wine David Elswood said "is probably the wine in vogue, the wine of the moment in terms of demand. "So hopefully that's going to draw the attention of not just Alex Ferguson fans but wine fans too," he told Reuters.
He expects big interest among Asian buyers, who have been snapping up top-flight wines for years and where about 60 per cent of the lots will be on offer on May 24. About a third of the cellar will be offered in London in June and about 10 per cent through Internet sales later that month. "Even if you disregard the Alex Ferguson connection, the quality of the wine, the type of wine, is generally what sells very strongly in Asia at the moment," Elswood said.

Norman presents intriguing arguments in support of a mapping between ecological and constructivist visual cognition, on the one hand, onto the dorsal ventral dual route processing hypothesis, on the other hand. Unfortunately, his account is incompatible with developmental data on the functional emergence of the dorsal and ventral routes. We argue that it is essential for theories of adult visual cognition to take constraints from development seriously.

I have an evo 4g with sprint and would like to go with Boost. I want to keep my evo but after looking around the forums I found alot of conflicting info on the subject. Can my phone be flashed for the boost network? Thanks in advance!
It can be done, and this is the info you will need: http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all-things-root/460035-evo-4g-boost-mobile-guide-evo-3d.html
I have an HTC Evo 4g that was originally set up for Sprint and is rooted to work with Boost Mobile. It works just fine except for one thing: 4G will connect, but as soon as it does, all data services go off. I am wondering if it is possible to actually get 4G on a Sprint HTC Evo 4g rooted to Boost... Does anyone here know?
From what I understand, and someone can correct me if I am wrong, you will not get 4G service on a boost-flashed Evo.
Mikestony is correct. You won't get 4G on an EVO 4G flashed to Boost. You may want to call Boost as they will be allowing Sprint phones to be used on Boost soon. Which phones will be allowed is the question. Sprint phones may be welcome on Boost Mobile very soon EDIT: Since your phone is already flashed to Boost, this wouldn't apply to you.

Good question...IMO I just don't think he's '1st Rd talent'. He was starting to come around at Mizzou but then missed the entire '14 season...I'd be skeptical
Has nothing to do with your talent? Okay, then.

The FEC did NOT say that PACs can't accept Bitcoin. They pretty much unanimously agreed during the meeting (audio) that PACs *can* accept Bitcoin, and the Libertarians and some candidates already were and continue to do so.
They just couldn't decide *how* PACs should accept Bitcoin, and CAF (the requester) didn't ask about accounting standards or the like, so they didn't approve the request. FEC decisions are ternary: yes, no, and nil. This is nil, not no.
Full disclosure: my PAC's comments explaining a bunch of problems with the proposal were one of the primary reasons why they didn't rule on it, and we're intending to file a new request in the very near future. (Comments welcome on our draft of a new safe harbor policy.)

Tehran Tienanmen?
For more than a decade, we've been hearing about the real Iran—the one whose youth is Westernized, desirous of connection with the United States, and tired of living in a theocracy. It's too soon to know whether the protests today in Iran represent the fruition of the ideas about popular sentiment and the possibility of an uprising. But it is clear that this is a time of testing for the idea that the mullahcracy can be shaken to its foundations by an aggrieved populace. If it can't, then the regime will prove itself stronger than some of its most heated critics say it is, and the world will have to adjust accordingly. If this is Tienanmen II, and the regime crushes it, there will be no easy approach to regime change. And there will be no pretending any longer that Iran's regime isn't a unified, hardline, irridentist, and enormously dangerous one.
Reality Mugs the White House
Ben Smith sums up the cognitive dissonance sweeping the hope-n-change crowd:
The notion of an "Obama effect" sweeping the Middle East appeared to collide with the realities of the Islamic Republic of Iran Saturday, as the country's confrontational, anti-American president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, celebrated a landslide victory in Friday's election amid wide doubts about the honesty of the official vote count.
Iran's election authority declared Ahmadinejad the victor with 63 percent of the vote Saturday and his victory received the imprimatur of the country's supreme religious leader. But his main rival, Mir Hossein Mousavi, denounced the results as a "charade" and there were reports of dramatic protests.
Though his backing of Iran's nuclear program differed little from Ahamdinejad's, the tone of Mousavi's campaign, and the impression of a broad stirring for change led by the country's youth, organized online and by text messages, seemed to echo Obama's own victory and to respond to the promises of engagement in Obama's recent speech in Cairo.
Did these people imagine that because one of the mullah's handpicked candidates knew how to text that we were witnessing the second coming of Obama, Iranian-style? They assumed that in a country with four pre-selected candidates the mullahs would let just anyone win? It seems so.
The problem with claiming credit for events in other countries is that when things go poorly people will interpret it as a personal rebuke. You can't have it both ways. And the problem with pretending that theocratic thugs are conducting a "real" elections is that when they prove to be not so "real" you look foolish for having cheered from the sidelines. Perhaps a less egocentric foreign policy is in order.
But, alas, Robert Gibbs provides proof of White House cluelessness:
Like the rest of the world, we were impressed by the vigorous debate and enthusiasm that this election generated, particularly among young Iranians. We continue to monitor the entire situation closely, including reports of irregularities.
Yeah, everything was going so swimmingly with the handpicked candidates all committed to destroying Israel and pursuing nuclear weapons and then, poof! Who knew the fake elections were, you know, fake? But I bet the White House is "concerned" — who are they going to "engage" now?
And moreover, what is the White House going to do now? Is the administration prepared to do more than monitor or (that old standby) be "disappointed"? After witnessing just how thuggish the Iranian theocrats can be, what will Obama do to make clear his stance on human rights, democracy, etc? This, from Hillary Clinton, suggests Obama is so bent on engaging he's really not prepared to make a fuss:
We are monitoring the situation as it unfolds in Iran. But we, like the rest of the world, are waiting and watching to see what the Iranian people decide. The United States has refrained from commenting on the election in Iran. We obviously hope that the outcome reflects the genuine will and desire of the Iranian people.
Well for starters, Obama might drop the "Islamic Republic of Iran" canard since this is obviously no functioning republic in any meaningful sense.
Is This What Judges Should Do?
This week, I wrote regarding Sotomayor's decision in the Ricci case that "the city never claimed and was never asked to prove that the test was defective and therefore the basis for a claim of disparate impact by the failing African American test-takers crumbles. You simply can't be permitted to discriminate against one group of people because another group might raise a fuss, albeit a meritless one. (I discuss the analogy to 'customer preference' cases here.)"
Stuart Taylor reaches the identical conclusion:
The [Judge Jose]Cabranes dissent and the voluminous factual record that was before the Sotomayor panel flatly contradict the widely stated view that her position was justified by evidence that the exams were not job-related and that they discriminated against blacks in violation of the "disparate-impact" provisions of federal civil-rights law.
In fact, neither Sotomayor nor any other judge has ever found that the exams — one for would-be fire lieutenants, one for would-be captains — were invalid or unfair. Nor has any judge found that allowing the promotions would have violated disparate-impact law.
Taylor correctly argues that the natural result of Sotomayor's decision would be to condone overt discrimination, that is disparate treatment, of any individuals who do well in their chosen field:
Such logic would convert disparate-impact law into an engine of overt discrimination against high-scoring groups across the country and allow racial politics and racial quotas to masquerade as voluntary compliance with the law.
What Taylor also makes clear is that the New Haven city officials knuckled into public pressure by "powerful African Americans" to throw out the test. What better example is there of the need for impartial justice to protect a politically unrepresented and unpopular figure ( Frank Ricci) from the howls of the mob that would deny him the equal protection of law? Unfortunately Sotomayor didn't grasp that. She condoned the mob's bullying and was prepared to give those that caved to their pressure a legal stamp of approval.
The Senate must ask: is this what we want in a Supreme Court justice?
The Clue to an Awful Speech: Lying About History
Some (but regrettably not all) conservatives — who are supposed to pride themselves on fidelity to fixed truths and to history — grasped why Obama's Cairo speech was so objectionable: it was built on a series of lies and distortions. By omitting historical events and setting up a false equivalence between current parties (not to mention between the Palestinians and enslaved African Americans), Obama sought to place himself in the position of dealmaker and help usher in the dawn of a new age of Middle East peace. But the opposite is true.
To his credit, Marty Peretz focuses on one of the lesser-discussed falsehoods in the Obama speech:
The history of Israel cannot be fathomed without understanding that it emerges from the Zionist idea (both ancient and modern), from the Zionist struggle (both ideological and with arms) and the Jewish response to Zionism which was successful in gathering of the exiles. After all, half of the world's Jews now live in Israel and speak their revived-by-Zionism Hebrew language. The point is that if the president truly wanted to give an honest rendering of the conflict he wouldn't have omitted this essential ingredient of the narrative.
[. . .]
Attributing the birth and development of Israel solely to the Holocaust is, then, simply wrong, egregiously wrong. Moreover, the presidential attribution justifies and reifies the Arab grievance that they are paying for Hitler's crimes. Did the president imagine–I cannot believe he did–that this account might not soften Palestinian feelings towards their neighbors? This means it was both largely false and undermined Obama's stated goals.
One can interpret this and the other egregious historical errors and omissions (Camp David, the withdrawal from Lebanon and Gaza, the wars between 1948 and 2008 were all left out) as evidence of ignorance by the Obama administration. But that seems far-fetched. It's not likely that Hillary Clinton has forgotten her husband's 2000 peace plan efforts; it's just impolite, I suppose, to bring it up.
It seems more likely to be a grand effort not to bother his listeners with too many inconvenient facts which might suggest we're not on the verge of a new Obama era of peaceful co-existence. If one tells the whole story — of Zionism, of wars, of efforts to give the Palestinians their state, of brutality toward women in Muslim countries, and of the impact of a nuclear-armed Iran on the region — then Obama might not be so successful in his charm offensive. And the people who were annoyed with past American administrations for bringing these things up would now be annoyed with him. Where's the popularity boost in all that?
Moreover, people might scratch their heads, wondering why he persists in his pose of moral equivalence rather than dealing with the fundamental issues: the Palestinians' refusal to recognize a Jewish state, the lack of a viable negotiator with whom Israel can engage, the prospect of a nuclear-armed Iran which will blackmail its neighbors and the egregious violation of human (and specifically, women's) rights by Israel's neighbors. Come to think of it, why isn't he?
George W. Bush Only Goes So Far
David Broder thinks the shoe is on the other foot in the gubernatorial races in Virginia and New Jersey this year. He argues that, unlike Obama in 2008, the Democrats won't be able to blame George W. Bush this time around: "The election results may well show how much of the responsibility for the bad economy has shifted to their shoulders — and implicitly to Obama's."
Yes, I suppose it will be hard to blame Bush for the $2B budget deficit in New Jersey or for Corzine's payoffs to his ex-girlfriend (a powerful union president at the time.) But Broder is a bit off on one point, declaring: "A victory by either McDonnell or Christie is likely to strengthen the pragmatist camp in internal Republican debates — the people who argue that mobilizing the conservative base is not enough for victory in competitive races."
Actually both Christie and McDonnell are running not on "pragmatic" fiscal policies, but conservative one, so it's even more critical for Obama to beat them both. If people get the idea that liberal government doesn't work and conservatives have better ideas, where will it end?
Courting the Radicals
Pondering the possible link between Guantanamo and President Obama's speech in Cairo, Christopher Hitchens wrote that,
Any person with the smallest pretense to cultural literacy knows that there is no such place or thing as "the Muslim world," or, rather, that it consists of many places and many things. (It is precisely the aim of the jihadists to bring it all under one rulership preparatory to making Islam the world's only religion.) But Obama said nothing about the schism between Sunni and Shiites, or about the argument over Sufism, or about Ahmadi and Ismaili forms of worship and practice. All this was conceded to the umma: the highly ideological notion that a person is first and foremost defined by their adherence to a religion and that all concepts of citizenship and rights take second place to this theocratic diktat. Nothing could be more reactionary.
President Obama does not consider himself illiterate on Islam. To the contrary. As he said in Cairo, "I have known Islam on three continents before coming to the region where it was first revealed." So why is he feigning ignorance?
The reason is simple – and Hitchens highlights it. Whether in the Cairo speech or in his public musings about the Islamic Republic of Iran, the president has decided to speak directly to radicals, bypassing both regimes and liberal dissidents – as long as they forgo violence. That is why he has not just embraced their rhetoric (the "Muslim world") but also indulged in their grievances – Mossadegh and the rest of it.
That is the same strategy the British government adopted in the UK prior to the horrific London bombings on July 7, 2005 – and some would say afterwards as well.
It did not work very well, Mr. President. Perhaps a review course on Islam might come in handy at this point.
Re: Taking Time Out to Hate
Jonathan, I share your take on Krugman's selectivity. But let's be clear: ranting about Jewish control of the U.S. has been largely the role of the Left as of late. It doesn't make good New York Times copy to point out that the carping about the Jewish Lobby comes from Harvard professors and Leftwing bloggers. It wasn't Rush Limbaugh or Fox commentators who said during the campaign that John McCain "surrounded himself with, and [was] funded by Jewish neoconservatives"; such rhetoric came from "respectable" Left and Center-Left publications. Do I think those people are responsible for the Holocaust Museum shooting? No. But the heart of this issue is whether there are those who slowly, bit by bit, make anti-Semitism more acceptable and, therefore, more popular. On that score, the answer is sadly yes.
Flotsam and Jetsam
Stephen Hess of the Brookings Institution on Joe Biden: "An outstanding senator was elected vice president; six months later he's the butt of late-night comics' jokes. Craig Ferguson says, 'Biden speaks the language of crazy'; Jimmy Fallon calls him 'Chewbacca with fur plugs.'" Totally unfair. He was never outstanding at anything other than jaw-dropping pomposity and a lack of verbal discipline. Obama should have seen this one coming.
Obama is not merely defending the Defense of Marriage Act — he's undermining the entire constitutional framework for pro-gay marriage advocates. Dale Carpenter explains the administration didn't just make technical procedural arguments: "[T]he DOJ brief goes further than it needs to . . . by addressing the merits of the constitutional issues in the case, which attacks both DOMA Section 2 (interstate recognition) and DOMA Section 3 (federal recognition). There's a hodge-podge of claims in the case. Everything from the Full Faith & Credit Clause to freedom of speech is hurled at DOMA by the claimants. Of most interest is what the DOJ has to say about the due process and equal protection claims, rejecting just about every single variation of an argument that gay-rights scholars and litigants have made over the past 30 years. . . Obama says he opposes DOMA as a policy matter and wants to repeal it. Nothing in the DOJ brief prevents him from acting on that belief. He is, he says, a 'fierce advocate' for gay and lesbian Americans. When does that part start?" Next to pro-Israel voters, has any group received worse treatment by Obama than gay voters?
Meanwhile, Marty Peretz seems to be harboring no illusions these days: "Four especially reassuring elections occurred at the United Nations on Wednesday. So I hasten to bring you the good news. Let me give it to you seriatim:1. Libya was elected President of the U.N. General Assembly. The Libyan minister for African affairs has been designated for the post. 2. Sudan as been elected as vice president of the General Assembly. This bodes well for Darfur.3. Algeria has been elected as chair of the Assembly's Legal Committee, known in the U.N.'s streamlined bureaucracy as the Sixth Committee.4. Iran has been elected vice-chair of the Sixth Committee. Susan Rice will have a wonderful time engaging with these men. Especially since the president's Cairo speech, which has changed the world."
Yuval Levin and Bill Kristol see healthcare reform crumbling as we leave the realm of generalities. "The government insurance 'option' is clearly shaping up to be the first key vulnerability of ObamaCare. It is crucial to the logic of the Democrats' approach, as it would offer convenient cover both for the move toward government financing of coverage and for the rationing of care such a move would require. The president, congressional leaders, and key liberal interest groups have insisted it be part of any reform effort. But as outside opposition grows, it is far from clear that the government option will have the votes to pass. If it were voted down or pulled out of the Democrats' bills, the logic and the inevitability of the remainder of their reform effort would be called into question, and Republicans would face a real opportunity to make the case for their own brand of reform, and to stop the ObamaCare train in its tracks."
And on a related note, because CBO — that is the Congressional Budget Office — may "score" the healthcare too "high" ( that is Congress-speak for "honestly tell us it will cost a fortune") Congress may use the figures cooked up by the executive branch's OMB. That tells you everything you need to know about which entity is more accurate and which is more politicized.
Charlie Rangel admits it will cost more than $1 trillion; Orin Hatch says $1.5 trillion. Democrats are starting the bidding at $600M in new taxes and $400M in Medicare and Medicaid. So how are they going to do that without limiting care for old and poor people?
Fred Barnes explains the lay of the land in Virginia's gubernatorial race: "Mr. McDonnell's task is to differentiate himself from Mr. Deeds, point out that the last two Democratic governors in the state raised taxes, and persuade voters the Democrat is far to his left. . . . Mr. McDonnell's conservative but less ideological strategy may have implications for the GOP. He hasn't jettisoned social issues, but he's downplayed them in favor of basic economic, energy and education issues — those designed to attract suburban and middle-class voters. We'll know in November if this works."
Sen. Joe Lieberman tells the president and the rest of us that Guantanamo is a "humane" place for the detainees. Yeah, but it can't match the beaches on Palau and Bermuda.
Speaking of which, Bermuda is in an uproar over the Uighurs. There is something unseemly about using little countries as our toxic dump for terrorists. I thought this was the administration which was going to be a good neighbor in the world community.
Sen. Lindsay Graham isn't going away quietly on the detainee abuse photo ban: "However, Mr. Graham said he would drop his objections to the $105.6 billion spending measure on two conditions: a promise of a free-standing vote on his ban before July 8 and a commitment from the White House that President Obama would issue an executive order classifying the photos as secret should that be needed to keep them under wraps."
Lanny Davis doesn't buy Paul Krugman's line that it's the Right which is the home of anti-Semitic haters. Davis remembers the Lieberman Senate race in 2006 all too well.
Will Obama take credit for this one too? " Defying many predictions, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad held a commanding lead in the presidential vote count early Saturday, election officials with Iran's Interior Ministry said." Be prepared for liberal pundit to reverse course and tell us none of this matters. (But weren't they just saying that. . . . Oh, never mind.)

509 Tasting Notes
Since I can't really taste anything, I decided to at least make something warm and comforting. So, I put the tea bag into my mug, along with a little sweetener and a cinnamon stick. Strangely, I've never made tea with a cinnamon stick before. I poured boiling water over it all and let it steep. The result is very pleasant. I'm too sick to taste the black tea, but the cinnamon comes through and it's nice. Reminds me of winter. I finally have a use for this bag of cinnamon sticks!!
350th tasting note!!
Yes, congrats on 350 tasting notes! I don't know if you're particularly fond of ginger, but, if you want to taste … I recommend ginger. I actually love this product when I'm sick: http://popus.com/ginger-green-tea-instant-ginger-honey-crystals/ (The ginger honey crystals) … I found it at Whole Foods a couple of years ago, and I like to keep it on hand for when I am feeling sick, I just add it to my basic black tea and then I can taste the warming ginger. It makes me feel much better … it's a temporary feel good feeling, but, when I'm sick I'll take even just a few moments of feeling good.
I was just thinking about that, LiberTEAS! I meant to pick up a bit of ginger root from the grocery store. I would grate it and brew it with the tea. Now I might have to go out again, lol.
CupofTree, it's awesome, and re-usable. I've just left it in the mug today and it's been just as strong with each cup.
I didn't mean to talk about this tea three times in a row, but at least I have an image up for it now.
You see, I started making a different tea before this. I had it steeping and went to make myself some soup. (I'm still quite sick.) When my soup was done, I turned to see half of my tea on the counter and spilling into the floor. Turns out one of my favorite mugs had sprung a leak. Rest in peace, Cruxshadows mug, as I lay thee down to sleep in the garbage can.
I got my lavender tea after all! And I'll have a picture up for it in a few days, when I get back home to my camera. Oddly, Wystone's official site doesn't list this anywhere but the cafe menu.
This is EXACTLY what I wanted. But I need to disclose that while I put two ounces of Lavender Grey in the package, I also added about half an ounce of straight lavender flowers. (The tea shop has a whole section of just dried fruit, herbs, flowers, etc. to add. Amazing!) So if any of you Steepsterites were to purchase this tea, it wouldn't be as strongly lavender flavored as what I'm drinking right now.
But like I said, this is perfect. Strong but soothing lavender paired with clean, bright bergamot. All on a satisfying, malty black tea base. I am going to go through this so fast, I can tell. I love it.
It was. I was really impressed! It was a little more pricey than some of the online shops I'm used to, but being able to walk in, sniff things, add my own flavors… it made it worth it.
Ah, that's the place that cooks with tea. They make pancakes with rooibos too. Look at the website! The are in the 10 best places to eat in Denver and they are a tea place!
So, I'm sick and staying with family/friends in Colorado. I was craving some comfort tea from the moment I woke up. Something with lavender. So my cold-medicine-addled self put on boots and wandered across the street to Wal-Mart, where I was sorely disappointed. They didn't even have Tazo's Earl Grey! That was my backup if I couldn't find anything else with lavender in it.
I returned empty-handed, but was lucky enough to find this in the cupboard. This would do as comfort tea, I thought. And it was good. An old standby. Warm spices, a hint of orange peel, and a caffeinated black tea base. But I'm still craving lavender.
Where in Colorado? That's where I live….rain is coming! Snow higher up! Hope you feel better. If I knew where you were at I might know a tea shop.
Bonnie if I ever come to Colorado I want to visit you! I have another friend there as well who has been wanting me to come up for a year now. I need to just make a plan and DO IT!
@Bonnie – I'm near Denver! I think the area I'm in is counted as Littleton? It's so beautiful up here. Every time I leave Atlanta for the west I want to never come home.
This… this is lame. I usually love apple tea. And I usually really like Ceylon. But this is a weak, bland, barely fruity mess with a hint of honey. Like something Celestial Seasonings would make. It also has a sort of indistinct herbal, chamomile-ish taste. It's been a while since I really disliked a tea. But this does it. I'll finish the cup, but never again.
But to be fair, I tried this at a friend's house and it was not in a sealed container. It could just be really stale.
I picked this up at Kroger after noticing it a few days ago when shopping for salad fixin's. It's dairy-free, which is alright with me, and soy based. I'm a fiend for chai, and the idea of not having to make it myself appealed to me today.
It's actually really tasty. The spices aren't particularly strong, complex, or unique, but it does taste like chai and smooth, creamy vanilla. It's pretty sweet also, but not too much. Maybe a little sweeter than I would have made it myself, but it's also creamier than I would have been able to do since I usually add a small amount of milk. I could see myself having this instead of breakfast on my way into midtown. I will certainly pick it up again.
And is it ever filling! The 15-ounce bottle is like a meal to me.
Alright, I'm willing to try this again as fall is approaching. It still smells like that bubblegum you used to get on Halloween from the old folks down the street.
I tried to dress it up a little with a splash of 2% milk and a dash of cinnamon on top. It's certainly an improvement. The milk's creaminess rounds it out, but it still doesn't really taste like pumpkin to me. And there is still no spice at all, aside from the cinnamon that I added. How can you call something "spiced" when it's plain? C'mon, Adagio, I trusted you!
Adagio really isn't very good with any of the black teas, with the exception of the blends which some are really pretty good, some are not… and their master teas … the ones that I've tried from the masters selections are good. I've enjoyed a few of their other teas (green, white and Oolong) but are they better than other companies out there, no way. So many really great companies out there!
Today I ventured back to the First Oriental Market, as I'm low on plain black teas and I wanted to try something new. This was very well in my price range, and my past experiences with black teas from the Fujian Province of China have been good. Also, I admit, I love pioneering teas that are new to Steepster.
The packaging is mostly in Chinese, so a lot of the details are lost on me. But it comes bagged, and it smells like it's going to be a strong, no-nonsense black. I can't detect any distinct notes just from the scent of the bag. The leaves themselves are black and crushed up like most cheap bagged teas.
It brewed up dark in four minutes, reddish amber with a malty, honeylike aroma. The flavor is surprisingly smooth and very malty. Almost creamy in its aftertaste. It's milder than I expected, but enjoyable. Like many Fujians I've tried, it has a hint of cocoa in it as well. I'm happy that I have a whole box to go through, and I look forward to having this in a tall iced glass.
Finally got around to trying this flavored Keemun.
The tea itself is lovely. Dark brown leaves mixed with red and pink chunks of lychee and whole dried raspberries. There also appears to be some kind of red flower petal mixed in. It smells incredibly strongly of lychee. Like perfume, roses, and red fruit. I can kind of smell the raspberry as well, but the lychee buries it.
The flavor is similar. Lychee, lychee, lychee like a punch to the face. The rose flavor, which I believe is coming from the lychee also, is very present. Peppery almost, but not as strong as a plain black rose tea. The raspberry is there, but you have to really feel for it. Same with the flavors of the Keemun. I think next time I'll give it another minute to see if the black tea will make more of an appearance. Either way, this is interesting, and STRONG.

US 4583877 A Abstract A ring binder cover is composed of a pair of thermoplastic sheets superimposed in edge-to-edge relation with stiffener insert panels disposed therebetween. The inner edges of the insert panels are spaced apart a distance which is approximately the width of the back panel and hinged portions of the binder. The peripheral edge portions of the two thermoplastic sheets are sealed together and provide a sealed envelope for the stiffener inserts which are disposed therebetween and define semi-rigid back and front cover panels of the binder. A discrete, semi-rigid spine is affixed to the outer surface of the cover in the area between the inner edges of the inserts. The spine has a width less than the distance between the inserts and together define hinges for the binder covers. The spine is composed of a stiffening insert panel encased within a thermoplastic sheath material and a ring mechanism is affixed on the inner surface of the cover opposite the spine.
Claims(6) 1. Ring binder construction comprising matching plies of thermoplastic outer cover sheet material superimposed in edge-to-edge relation and sealed together about their peripheral edges, inserts encased between said plies of cover sheet material and having side edges spaced apart a predetermined distance along the center portion of the cover sheet material, said stiffener inserts being dimensioned to define the binder's front and back cover panels, said binder having a back panel portion which includes opposed portions of the outer cover sheet material between the spaced edge portions of said inserts, a ring mechanism disposed within said binder along the back panel thereof, and a stiffening spine having a width less than said predetermined distance, said binder having flexible hinges formed by coextensive, unsealed portions of said plies of cover sheet material disposed between the outer side edges of said spine and the inner side edges of said inserts.
2. Ring binder as set forth in claim 1, in which the transverse cross-section of said spine is convexly curved outwardly and each of said flexible hinges consists essentially of the coextensive, unsealed portions of said plies of cover sheet maaterial.
3. Ring binder as set forth in claim 2, in which said spine is disposed externally of both said plies of cover sheet material and includes a stiffener insert which is encased within a thermoplastic sheath.
4. Ring binder as set forth in claim 3, in which fastener means extend through the cover sheet s in the back panel portion of the binder from the spine to said ring mechanism to fasten both the spine and binder mechanism in place and clamp the cover sheets therebetween.
5. Ring binder as set forth in claim 4, in which stiffener insert of said spine has a thickness substantially less than the thickness of the cover panel inserts.
6. Ring binder as set forth in claim 5, in which the fastener means is in the form of upstanding rivets having their flanged ends affixed to said spine and having their inner ends riveted to the ring mechanism.
Description For many years it has been the practice in the manufacture of ring binders to fabricate the cover for such binders in a three-ply construction. Three rigid or semi-rigid, rectangular inserts or stiffener panels are heat-sealed between two superimposed sheets of thermoplastic material. Of the three stiffener panels generally used, two of them approximate in size, the back and front cover panels of the binder and the third panel is a narrower insert strip disposed between the two larger panels to form the back panel of the binder. The inner and outer plastic sheets are fused together or heat-sealed around their peripheral edges and also transversely between the adjacent, transverse edges of the cover panel inserts and the back panel inserts. The transverse seals form the hinge areas of the binder and U.S. Pat. No. 3,195,924 is typical of this type of binder construction. There are several significant disadvantages of a conventional heat-sealed binder cover, particularly along the hinge portions where the cover and the spine or backbone of the binder intersect. Along the hinge lines, the outer plastic sheets are fused or heat-sealed together and their composite thickness is substantially less than the total thickness of the two sheets before the heat-sealing operation. For example: where the two outer sheets of thermoplastic are each 0.015 inch vinyl, the composite thickness, when fused together, is only about 0.020 inch or about 30% less than the total of 0.030 inch where there has been no heat-sealing of the plastic sheets. In addition, during heat-sealing, the more volatile plasticizers in the vinyl sheet materials are volatilized "off" and the hinge lines tend to be more brittle than the unfused vinyl. Moreover, during the heat-sealing operation, the vinyl films along the hinge lines are invariably stretched over the edges of the chipboard inserts when drawn together for sealing so that the plastic sheet material in these areas becomes thinner than the unsealed vinyl and thus more susceptible to material fatigue failure. The principal object of this invention is to provide an improved ring binder construction and method of fabricating the same which overcome the drawbacks of the prior art construction. Another object of this invention is to provide an improved ring binder cover having a backbone and hinge construction of remarkably enhanced durability without sacrifice in either the appearance or functionality of the binder. The above and other objects and advantages of this invention will be more readily apparent from a reading of the following description taken in conjunction with the following drawings in which: FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a ring binder of the type embodying this invention; FIG. 2 is an elevational view on an enlarged scale showing a portion of the binder of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view showing the components of which the ring binder embodying this invention is composed. Referring in detail to the drawings, in FIG. 1 is shown a ring binder 4 of the type embodying this invention. The ring binder includes front and back cover panels 6 and 8, respectively. The two cover panels are hinged along transverse hinge lines 10 and 12 to a back panel or the spine portion of the binder, as indicated generally at 14. A conventional ring binder mechanism 16 is affixed to the inner surface of the binder along its backbone portion. The binder is composed of two rectangular sheets or films 20 and 22 of a synthetic plastic material which is preferably a thermoplastic heat-sealable or fusible material, such as an ethylvinylacetate polymer. The vinyl polymer sheets 20 and 22 are of sufficient overall size to form the entire inner and outer surface covering of the binder. These sheets may be of any desirable surface texture and may be of any suitable color to give the binder its desired appearance. Disposed between thermoplastic sheets, are a pair of semi-rigid or form stable, rectangular inserts 24 and 26 which are dimensioned to be approximately the same length and width as the cover panels of the binder. The inserts may be made of any suitable stiffening material, such as chipboard or fiberboard. An external spine member 30 is fitted against the outer surface of the vinyl sheet 22 along the back panel portion of the binder, that is the portion between the opposed inner edges of the two chipboards 24 and 26. In fabricating the binder, the cover inserts 24 and 26 are disposed between two sheets of the vinyl polymer sheet material and only the peripheral edges 40 (FIG. 1) of the vinyl sheets are sealed together. In this manner, a large sealed pocket or envelope is formed which encapsulates the two inserts. It will be noted that no transverse sealing of the vinyl is carried out in the area of the binder backbone between the spaced inner side edges 25 and 27 of the cover inserts. Thus, as best illustrated in FIG. 2, the thermoplastic sheets or films remain entirely separated and unfused in the hinge areas of the binder cover. To form the hinges of the binder and to strengthen and stabilize the backbone portion of the binder, the external spine 30 is then disposed between the spaced inner edges of the inserts 24 and 26. The spine is composed of a form stable or stiffening insert 32 which may be formed of metal, chipboard or plastic or any other rigid or semi-rigid composition. As shown in FIG. 2, the insert may be thinner in cross-section than the cover panel inserts to present a neat and clean appearance, as best illustrated in FIG. 1. Preferably, the spine is composed of an insert 32 which has a curved or cylindrical cross-section, although a flat insert might also be used if an angular look is desired. The insert is preferably preshaped or premolded in its curved configuration and is disposed between a pair of thermoplastic sheets or films 34 and 36 which are heat-sealed around the periphery to encase the insert so that it presents the same general appearance as the binder covers. The spine 30 also includes a pair of upstanding posts, studs or rivets 38 which are longitudinally spaced apart to fit through correspondingly spaced holes 42 and 44 provided through the vinyl sheets along the centerline thereof. By peening over their inner ends, the rivets serve to fasten the base plate of the binder mechanism 16 securely against the inner surface of the heet 20 and to draw the spine firmly against the outer surface of the binder. By this construction, the two separate plies 20 and 24 in the backbone area of the binder are clamped together. The hinges of the binder 10 and 12 are formed by the two superimposed plastic sheets 20 and 22 along their transverse portions located between the outer side edges of the spine insert 32 and the inner side edges of cover inserts 24 and 26. With this construction, since there is no thermal sealing or fusion of the thermoplastic sheath material in the hinge areas. The sheets will thus retain their inherent tear strength and pliability and remain highly resistant to embrittlement and material fatique in contrast to such tendencies in similar types of binders heretofore available. This construction thus has all the advantages of the conventional three-ply binder construction of stiffening inserts sealed between thermoplastic sheets, but does not suffer the drawbacks of these prior binder constructions because the hinges are formed by two entirely discrete plies. Furthermore, while the spine or back panel and the binder is still composed of a multiply construction having a stiffening core encased between synthetic plastic layers, it is entirely external to the cover construction per se and does not cause a weakening along the hinge lines of the binder.

That does not sound too bad at all actually, based on 10F/lb boost. What boost level and was this with 100% meth? The HA intake was designed with "injection" in mind and "should" be superior in meth vaporization. I have no "real life data" (yet), so I do not know. Where was the nozzle relocation from/to?
Maybe water might be better than alky. Leeo would be the expert in this area. I think he use aeromist nozzles to change the spray to a mist. Leeo sprayed alky into the turbo and into the turbo adapter. Maybe Leeo or BigDaddy will chime in. Back in the day water was used before alky be came popular. I am steadly taking notes and from what I have observed the Buick Engineers went different on the 86-87 intakes. This is why I am going to use a 86 intake modified. A few years back when everyone was cutting the hotair intake apart, I actually bought a gutted intake and shoved a heater core into the intake. I got it rigged up but could not decide whether to run coolant or nitrous through it. Later I plain gave up. 2008 I plan to have my car running as a test bed. I am curious to know how much alky, water, intercooling and nitrous is worth on a HOTAIR. In theory, both Jamie and Brent have opened a can of worms. Leeo started and got his car in the mid 11's with a 231, later going to a 4.1 into the 10's. If a small block can run 10's, 9's and 8's with a turbo and a carb, a fuel injected 231 should eclipse 10's and even the 9's. Even money on both Jamie and Brent going into the 10's with a 231. I think it would be easy with a 86-87 intake only because Buick saw something that convinced them that it was better. Even without a intercooler, the 86 intake has a bonnet that can be utilized to inject alky, water and even nitrous. The late Bruce Plecan was ahead of his time when he took off his intercooler and sprayed alky in the place of his intercooler. Taking the intercooler out allowed less restrictions, lower boost and the same power. Most people cringe at the NOS word. Alot of the import crowd use it and have set records with NOS. My first time with NOS was a kick in the AZZ... I beat many 86-87 GN's, Trans Camaros and Rugstang using a 80 hp NOS. As time and technology went on to the 90's, I did not get greedy and up the NOS. I would only use it to launch as most imports do. Now that we have talented people such as Eric Marshall burning chips and Julio - alky, I would try it again with alky and NOS in small doses. I had a KenneBell 85 Nitrous chip. Jim Bell told me had only sold 3. I could be wrong but I think Terry Penner used one on his 11 sec NOS Hot Air. Jim and Zack Willet are going against the grain and taking off the HOT AIR intake and putting on a carb and a bonnet. This could prove to be very interesting. As technology progesses, I think someone on this board will figure out how to get a HOT AIR into the low 10's/ high 9's.
it was about 25 pounds no alky. i put the alky on and i didnt see any drop at all. i havent posted any data yet till i collect more. from what i have seen so far its going to be interesting thread.
i will keep everyone posted. im going back to just a straight pump gas chip going to work on the tune and collect data then im going back to and alky chip and going to tune and collect data then im going to get a 110+Alky chip and coolect data. i will keep everyone posted.
From what I've read Methanol should have the most cooling effect and we were running the alcohol directly into the intake into the runners that are in our intakes.(as Lee was doing)However Lee was actually using the Meth to offset his fuel as well since he didn't run 110 octane at all times to my understanding. (he generally mixed 93 octane with race fuel from what I understand) Thus the alcohol would be the added octane in his set up. All my car did was correct the fuel curve for the added fuel and no cooling effect of the intake took place. Speaking with our friend running a super charger on his GS he said they saw the most cooling effect from the meth being a vapor rather then a direct mist thus suggested us moving the injection at least 3 feet from the intake, we relocated and again the car seen it as added fuel and no temp drop in the intake. This was on 30 different passes overall thus I would suggest that the data speaks for itself and I have a lot of data from my system to accurately monitor this condition. If there is a way to decrease the temp in the intake that works effectively I see this being a huge gain for the hot air. I know when my car's intake did cool off a degree or two we did see increases in performance, imagine what a 20 degree change could obtain.
Thanks for sharing! Had no idea that Meth had little to no effect on charge temps. Wonder why. ,since data will not lie. Edit: How many ounces do you spray in a run?
im glad jamie posted that up. i didnt want to post that info as i have seen the same data. this is going to open a can of worms.
We're are using the aqua nozzles that Lee recommended and I know the setting really didn't matter then more I shot in the more it just pulled from the fuel curve and no cooling effect at all. This was with new methanol too, not something sitting around for any period of time. Not sure what the psi was on the nozzles off hand but this may be why GM never implemented the runners for cooling the cars and instead jumped directly to an intercooler? I know at wide open on the alcohol it's quite a stream coming out and we really didnt' want to keep effecting the fuel curve if it wasn't going to cool.
To suggest that methanol has no cooling effect is wrong. Your test procedure is flawed. Methanol has a very high latent heat of vaporization property. That just does not change. It is a chemical property of methanol. You need to understand the point at which methanol cools, or I should say, absorbs heat energy from the surroundings. It happens as it changes physical state from a liquid to a gas. Depending on where and how you are spraying it, methanol may not change state until on the compression stroke inside the cylinder. Although, the way you guys are spraying it, I would expect some vaporization inside the inlet tract, especially with the high IATs you guys are running. Maybe the temp sensor is placed in a bad spot to catch the main air stream.
Fwiw I am positive that methanol cools the intake runners. You would need your MAT sensor down stream of the alky which I never had on my 85 setup. On my current setup with the MAT sensor in the back of bonnett, my temps start dropping just after 60 ft. mark and continue to drop all the way. With outside temp @ 70 I will see 57-58 degrees @ the end. I installed 2 Aquimist nozzles on a friends 87 right after I started using methanol on my 85. After a short blast we got out and the up pipe was COLD.
maybe i have bad meth. or something. my temp sensor is right before the #1 cylinder. that gives alot of area for the alky to cover before getting to the sensor. how much alky do you need to spray to see and effect. i havent seen any. maybe if i spray alot and cut fuel way back. i can show you a log from my power logger of it spraying and i can show you one not and there is no change in the temp at that sensor.
From playing with different mixtures way back when I do know that straight h2o quenched detonation quite effectively. I would turn up the boost and couldnt get any kr. However I stopped turning up at a point since I could also feel that there was a loss in overall power compared to using the alky. Car just wouldnt take off. There was probably more to be done with tuning the h2o in. Anyway, I played with h2o, denatured, isopropyl, methanol, and various mixtures. The straight meth hands down, more easily it seemed, yielded the most promising results. Thats what I stuck with at a point. Also, my understanding has always been that the cooling effect on the cylinder temps was the goal with alky injection. Of course if your intake temps are cooler I guess the cylinder temps would be also. However I wouldnt underestimate the cooling ability and heat absorption qualities of the alky at the cylinders where it ultimately counts. I have no doubt that there is a definite cooling effect going on. Im sure that the alky definitely gives a little added bang with the en richening it supplies as well. If I remember correctly (could be wrong) h2o has the best heat absorbing properties? Doesnt have the power adder that the alky does though through en richening the fuel. If your running the higher octane race fuels not sure if there is any benefit to the alky injection though. With lower octane their obviously is. Thinking about that, the lower octane fuels have higher btu making possible for more power if you can keep the detonation at bay. So if you were able to supply enough fuel using 93 octane, would tuning with straight h2o injection for detonation be the way to go? Like I said I guess I didnt play with it enough, but I do know that those competition monster torque pulling tractors inject straight h2o.
Haven't been on here since last post-The sensor is in the intake and is being read by the fuel manangement system, the most we could see is a 1 degree drop. (this is with the dial set on 8) However since the intake temp is so high to begin with it may be why no significant drop was recorded. (could be evaporating due to the heat) Had hoped to see it drop significantly. I have been speaking with a friend who knows Steve Morris very well and some ideas are being tossed around to see if there is a better way to spray the meth to get the intake charge cooled. If anything further develops I'll keep you posted.
Alky temp reduction must be working --- I think Rule of thumb is 10 degrees increase for each psi boost. So, 20 PSI could result in charge temp around; Ambient + (10 x boost) If ambient was 60F, you are seeing right around a 60F temp drop. ... I think But thinking keeps getting me in trouble.

Strong Chunky Kong
Go to either the Crystal Caves or Angry Aztec levels with Chunky. For Angry Aztec, go where there is the Kersplat and two Bees. Jump into the barrel. Next, go deeper into the ancient tunnel until you reach the giant boulder that is meant for Hunky Chunky to pick up. Exit through the way you entered until the red circle, not permitting you to leave as Hunky Chunky, appears. Let him drop it, then go back into the barrel and run towards the boulder. Instead of picking it up immediately, wait until the exact moment the red circle disappears. Then, pick it up. You will be small while holding a giant boulder. To do this in Crystal Caves, enter the room that you have to break the ice to enter that also contains a giant boulder on the ice. Then, repeat the same steps done in Angry Aztec.

" | What do you think I am, I'm Krang! Indesputable ruler of Dimension X! | " |
~ Krang |
Krang is an antagonist in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise. He also allied himself with Shredder.
[show]The 87 Series
Before the series started, Krang was once a feared, powerful warlord from Dimension X, a universe of continuous war. He controlled an army of Rock Soliders, under the leadership of his right hand man, General Tragg. One day he was captured and was stripped of his body reducing him to a living brain. Krang (or what was left of him) was then banished from Dimension X, along with his mobile fortress The Technodrome, to Earth, in hopes he would never return. However during his stay on Earth, General Tragg continued the war aginst Dimension X natives, The Neutrinos.
Sometime before the Turtles and Splinter were mutated, Krang met the leader of the Foot Clan, Oroku Saki aka The Shredder, the two began an uneasy alliance. Krang allowed Shredder to access his advance techonology in exchange for a new body, in which Krang himself designed. Despite this, Shredder did not live up to this deal as he was afraid that Krang would try to overthrow him. It wasn't until Shredder's countless failed attempts to kill Splinter and The TMNT that new had to create Krang's new body. When Krang's body was complete he almost was successful in killing the Turtles and bringing his troops to Earth, but the Turtles foiled his plans and sent Krang, Shredder, and The Technodrome back to Dimension X, and from that point forward, Shredder had no choice but to follow Krang's orders.Characteristics
Krang is known for being a briliant scientist, having designed countless weapons, including his well known android body. He is a cold, cunning, manipulative and somewhat a sadist, as he claims that he enjoys watching "people and animals suffer" In the Archie Comics he is known to be responsible for his massacare on the characters Wingnut and Screwloose home world, and destroying all life on a planet known as Hyrobl.
Despite his frail apperance, many other villains fear Krang, including Shredder, who denies this, Bebop, Rocksteady, and Baxter Stockman (before he crossed mutated into a humanoid fly) Krang is known to have several enemies other then the TMNT and Splinter, this includes Shreeka, a Dimension X criminal who is wanted in thirteen galaxies and was Krang's old partner in crime (and possibly an old girlfriend), Maligna the Malignoid queen, and Lord Dregg, an evil alien warlord and villain of the last two seasons of the series. Despite Shredder's obsession with the Turtles and Splinter, Krang doesn't see them as mortal enemies, but as minor setbacks who need to be destroyed.
Physical Appearance
Krang was likely based on The Utroms, who unlike Krang, were a benevolent race of natural brain looking aliens. However, Krang is not an Utrom, in the episode Invasion of the Krangezoids, Krang cloned himself and while they appear to be brain like creatures at first, the cloning process allowed the cloned Krangs to "re-grow" their bodies as "Some lizards can re-grow their tails" it was here when the first (and only) time we get to see Krang's natural form, which were 10 to 12 foot tall hunched back lizard-like humanoids with Krang's "brain" as their head.
However when Krang was stripped from this form, he appears as large pink brain around the size of a basketball with large eyes and a wide mouth with sharp pointed teeth two long slimy tentacles, and a ridged forehead, to move around he desighned a tall, powerful, bulky human-like android with many built in weapons including a chip where Krang and his body can grow to giant proportions, Krang himself would rest in the stomach controlling his body. When his body isn't in use, he uses a much smaller bipedal machine known as a "bubble walker" which is equipped with several weapons.
It is unknown why after Krang was stripped from his natural form, that he never tried to find a way to re-gain it, especially after he found out his clones were able to re-grow their bodies.
Whenever Krang speaks, he sometimes croaks like that of a lizard, possibly due to his reptile heritage.

On June 26, 2013, the Supreme Court found Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) unconstitutional, and we reported in our client alert of July 12, 2013 on implementation of the decision by United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) relating to applications and petitions by United States citizens on behalf of same-sex partners.
The United States State Department announced this past Friday, August 2nd, its own implementation of the Windsor decision confirming that effective immediately "U.S. Embassies and Consulates will adjudicate visa applications that are based on a same-sex marriage in the same way that we adjudicate applications for opposite gender spouses. This means that the same sex spouse of a visa applicant coming to the U.S. for any purpose – including work, study, international exchange, or as a legal immigrant – will be eligible for a derivative visa. Likewise, stepchildren acquired through same sex marriages can also qualify as beneficiaries or for derivative status."
The State Department confirmed that as long as the marriage was valid in the jurisdiction where it took place, whether it is in the United States or a foreign country, it is valid for immigration purpose without reference to which state the same-sex couple would be residing in after entry into the United States.
It also confirmed that it must be a marriage under the jurisdiction where it took place and, thus, this guidance is not applicable to "civil unions" or "domestic partnerships."
Documentation requirements for spouses, children and stepchildren are applicable in the same manner as they are for opposite gender spouses.
While both United States Citizenship and Immigration Services and the State Department have issued guidance regarding the impact of Windsor, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has yet to publish guidance on how it will administer immigration benefits to same-sex couples at the ports of entry.

Nobel Peace Prizewinner Ellen Johnson Sirleaf has 44.5 percent of the Liberian presidential vote so far: not enough to avoid a second round, where former warlord Prince Johnson may be 'kingmaker.'
Foreign observer missions are praising Liberia's first domestically organized national elections since the end of civil war in 2003, but experts warn that a likely runoff election could still trigger violence.
Buffeted by years of civil war, Liberian women – led by newly named Nobel Peace Prize laureate Leymah Gbowee – are praying for a peaceful and successful Oct. 11 election, and hoping that fire-mouthed politicians don't drag their country back to war.
Northern Sudan's ruling party candidate won a gubernatorial election over a candidate from South Sudan's ruling party in a vote that party rejected as fraudulent.
Preliminary results show that President Paul Kagame won Monday's Rwanda election with more then 90 percent of the vote, but critics charge that opposition contenders were unfairly prevented from running.

Excited to be a part of the AirBnB community - I'm looking forward to traveling and meeting new people... and hopefully becoming a host one day.
I like reading, jogging, eating, photography, film and all sorts of media and I'll most likely be traveling with my girlfriend Kathryn. I currently work in the marketing department at a financial services organization in Minnesota.
Kai has completed online and offline ID verification.
It was a real pleasure to host Kai and his girlfriend! I couldn't manage to meet them personally, but they seemed very kind and friendly, we managed easy communication all along. They took care of our apartment as it was their own. Big recommendation!
Kai and Katherine were great guests. They are considerate, energic, inquisitive and very easy going. They spent their time in Old San Juan well and enjoyed venturing out to Santurce. Hope to see tahem again.
Kai was friendly, up for adventure and clearly excited to be here. He was quiet, courteous, and communicative so we could assist him easily. He left the room perfectly clean. We'd be happy to host him again.
This nice couple stayed for two days in my apartment. They left everything clean and tidy. 100% recommended.
really a lovely couple, sympathetic, neat, clean and always with a smile on his face, it was a pleasure to have them at home and I hope you enjoyed your stay in Seville, are always welcome and will also be a pleasure to have them on any host home Thanks for your visit
It was a pleasure to meet and accomodate Kai and Catherine! They are a young charming couple, very kind and respectful, observed all the rules of the house, and left it in perfect conditions. They will be very welcome anytime they want to come back to Lisbon!
