[6]It was five days before the mid-term elections. The race to fill President Obama's senate seat was neck-and-neck. On one side, Alexi Giannoulias strongly supported comprehensive immigration reform and the DREAM Act [7]. Swayed heavily by perceptions of public opinion, his opponent Mark Kirk didn't want to take a stand on immigration reform [8] and believed "it wasn't the right time for the DREAM Act."
In an attempt to let Mark Kirk know that a growing number of evangelicals want immigration laws that reflect the overwhelming biblical call for God's children to extend love and hospitality to the foreigners in our land, a multi-ethnic group of pastors and lay leaders held a concert of prayer outside his campaign office. [9]
We began by asking his campaign staff if we could pray for them personally and for the candidate. They responded by slamming the door in our face and saying they don't want our prayers.
As we lifted up prayers and songs of worship, familiar songs crying for God's power and mercy took on new meaning for us. Those inside the campaign office, however, found it more amusing to shine laser pointers in our eyes while we were petitioning our Lord and Savior on their behalf. They responded to our prayers by verbally assaulting us, in hopes we would say something to have on record for their blog sites.
So, you might be asking, why we would endure such treatment and plan more times of prayer for Senate-elect Kirk?
Over a year ago, a number of pastors and lay leaders in the Evangelical Covenant Church [10] on Chicago's North Side started asking how we can respond to God's call. We partnered with the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights to form a family support network. Members from our congregation offer support and friendship to families facing the crisis of deportation. Through this effort, our hearts have broken for families that have been ripped apart by our unjust laws and the escalation of deportations [11] since Barack Obama became our president. As the abstract conversations about immigration laws turned into personal stories of new friends, we could not help but respond in action.
Our hope now is not only that laws will change, but that the hearts of the evangelical church will change as well. Where we were largely silent during the civil rights era, we hope history will remember us as standing side by side with our immigrant brothers and sisters.

great product
Very laggy. I had high hopes for this app. Used the free version on my tablet and liked it. Very fast and usable. Decided to buy the paid version for my note 3. Left me disappointed. Unfortunate. Hopefully the devs get this fixed. I will not bad mouth the app further. I know alot goes into the development of these apps. I appreciate the hard work of the Devs and hope they fix this issue soon. Goin
This app houses a lot of good stuff but the brushes are laggy and in desperate need of optimization. The support for Wacom companion hybrid is very cool but due to the lag it's tedious to add detail to your works. More stars coming when the brushes are competitive to Autodesks Sketch app
Very awesome app. One thing though, can you add a marquee tool?
I've used Sketchbook, Inked, Photoshop, and even other small guys like Artflow, and none of them delivered in spades the way Infinite Painter has. With stabilized tools strong enough to compensate for my carpal tunnel--even without pressure sensitivity on my Galaxy Tab 3-- Infinite Painter has allowed me to migrate almost my entire work flow to my tablet. While still just buggy enough to prevent a
Still figuring out how to use this. One small problem I found- If I try to duplicate the one and only layer, the first time I try I get a blank layer instead of the duplicate I wanted. When I select a 2nd time, it works. ( Samsung note Pro 12.2)
But destroyed what I had done over weeks. Massively deflating. My art My Art. How does it stuff things up so much to simply delete what I had done. Will give a higher rating if the directory issues with kit kat or my phone are sorted. Because it is a good paint program and the incorporation of image search plus a gallery to show my art. Which I never got to do. I was getting to grips with it too.

When J.A.C. Redford creates music for a film, he first comes up with a theme. He then watches the film and conducts the music in his head to specific scenes to get a feel for its rhythms.
After some back and forth with the director, there may be slight changes. Redford creates the music, which then is added to the film, making it ready for theaters.
He has been doing this for almost 40 years. And he is currently working with Brea sound engineer Shantih Haast on the score for "Titanic Live," a concert that debuts next year in London.
"We have to make the physical score match what was in the final cut of the movie," Haast said.
Haast, 60, owns Studio 770 in Brea, where Redford has been working on his own music and other projects for the past year. Redford composes, conducts and orchestrates various forms of music that mostly appear in TV and studio films.
For the James Bond film "Skyfall," Redford conducted the orchestra as British singer-songwriter Adele recorded the theme song, which won an Academy Award for best original song.
He spent seven weeks on location during filming. He also has worked with Sting, singer Bonnie Raitt and award-winning composer Thomas Newman.
One of Redford's most well-known scores is "Under the Sea" from Disney's "The Little Mermaid."
"I can remember standing in the studio, and the players that were there and all the changes we made to make it work," he said.
In addition to composing, he conducts, produces and arranges music. He primarily works on a computer at home in Fullerton, but records the music in Brea.
"He's incredible," Haast said of Redford's work ethic.
The industry and the way of doing things has changed since Redford broke into the business in the 1970s. Detailed notes were the norm before videotape was accessible and before computers became tools used to create music. Redford now works more with a laptop than pen and paper.
"When I started in the business, there wasn't even videotape to take home," Redford said. "For the most part, you had to just remember."
With the ability to create music with the stroke of a key, the art of writing music is slowly becoming a dying skill, he said.
"I'm not sure if that's made for better or worse music," Redford said. "So I don't know if there's necessarily a cause-and-effect relationship between your school or the effort you put into learning your craft and getting a job."

ST. PAUL, Minn. (4/1/2013) --The drought of 2012 was an extraordinary event, and extraordinary events create extraordinary circumstances. With planting just weeks away, corn and soybean prices are displaying extraordinary inverses ($2 per bushel and more) from today's price to the price quoted for new crop delivery next fall. In the next five months, these inverses will be resolved. This means that nearby (old crop) and new crop prices will morph together into one price.
There are two ways to resolve this inverse. One way is for new crop prices to rise and meet the higher nearby prices. This is how the inverse was resolved last year, as drought blanketed the Corn Belt. This scenario would be good news for Minnesota farmers. Minnesota, in general, fared better than most Corn Belt states in last year's drought, and a number of Minnesota producers still hold last year's crop in storage.
The other way to resolve the inverse is for old crop prices to collapse toward lower new crop values. History and the productive capacity of the Corn Belt suggest this is the more likely course of resolving the inverse in prices from old to new crop values. There is a double risk in the "normal crop" scenario. Not only could old crop prices collapse, new crop prices could sink even further. This does not bode well for the value of grain in storage, nor does it bode well for producers who have not started to price 2013 corn and soybeans.
Minnesota producers concerned about drought in 2013 seem to have that base covered. Crop insurance is in place, old crop grain is still in storage, and little action has been taken on pricing 2013 corn and soybeans. It may be time to consider the normal crop scenario. Today, new crop pricing opportunities remain at or above production costs. There is no guarantee that this will be true next fall. New crop sales are needed to balance the risk of a "non-drought" scenario.

Deansgate and Red Hot World Buffet
Gareth had booked this restaurant for our groups Friday evening meal. With around 20 people, who have different tastes (and appetites) this was a good choice, especially with it being a set price (£14.99 for Friday Evening - November 2013) - check website for other prices
Previously, we've eaten at Chinese 'All You Can Eat' Buffets. Red Hot Buffet offers cuisine from China as well as Japan, India, Thailand, Italy, England and Mexico.
Well this was certainly a popular place! It is a large, quite stylish venue - at least two floors, and as far as I could see it was nearly full. I'm not a huge fan of these buffet places usually, but I enjoy the company at our VT meets! This place is ideal for groups, although the long tables mean that you can't chat to those more than a few seats away. We entered the restaurant by a flight of stairs. I'm not sure if there is alternative access for wheelchair users or those with mobility/respiratory problems.
Children under 10 eat for half price. I was quite amused to see the children at the next table completely absorbed with their smart phones/ tablets.
Our waitress explained that we had to use the upstairs bar to order our drinks. Then that we could go to the buffet as many times as we wanted. After each course you left your empty plate on the table and this was quickly removed. Apparently the time limit is 1.30 hours to 'Eat as much as you want'. The bar had a selection of wines, beers and spirits and served cocktails as well as soft drinks.
So....... The Buffet Hall is quite large, with numerous displays of hot and cold delicacies. Most are labelled. Stations are arranged in the various cuisines, with chefs cooking some dishes to order. At the far end are desserts, which include a chocolate fountain, ice creams, cakes and hot puddings such as apple crumble.
I picked a plate and selected a few starters - some of these were quite creative! I also had a wander round to see what else was available, ready for Round 2!
All of the food was quite tasty, the hot food was hot and the cold dishes appropriately chilled.
The staff were on hand to replenish empty pots - I was pleased to see that they removed these, before returning with a new full pot. I've seen where some places, where they just top up the half empty containers with fresh food - Yeukk!
I selected a few Indian dishes for my main meal - and added a few other pieces from the Oriental selection. I realised when I was getting full, that I'd missed the crispy duck pancakes :-(
I managed to squeeze in a selection of light desserts - avoiding the lurid blue ice cream!
Although the buffet was busy, you didn't have to jostle to get to the food.
Would I eat here again? Yes, if in a group. I wouldn't feel comfortable eating here by myself, though I think I spotted some couples eating at small tables on the floor above us.
All in All, the food that I ate was tasty and of good quality and I enjoyed it far more than I anticipated.

Buffet City- The Buffet
This has been a popular place for VT meets, as Gillybob has booked this place for Friday nights, before her Annual Manchester Christmas Markets VT meet, or when VTers are in town, such as tini58de. There are some good bars/ heritage pubs nearby for after (or before) your meal
Buffet City has branches in Manchester and Chester - Chinese and Oriental dishes.
So, we arrived here at around 1900 hrs, and were shown to our table in a room off the main hall. This place was quite busy with works parties, families, couples etc.
Drinks orders were taken (not cheap, but probably to compensate for the cheap food) Gilly and I shared a bottle of wine (£13.90).
Then we had free rein of the buffet tables. There are over 60 starters/ mains/desserts to chose from - you can eat as little or as much as you want-return to stock up your plate whenever you want to.
I missed out on the soup, and went for starters of pork ribs, crispy seaweed (deep fried cabbage) and parcels of meat and seafood with satay sauce dip. My next venture was for crispy duck pancakes with spring onions/cucumber and hoisin sauce.
Then it was onto mains, when I probably over faced myself with my selection- I had an adequate portion, then discovered the Thai selection, which tipped me over the top. (Check the website below for menu choices)
There was a debate on the table as to the best way to tackle the courses- Evans was to eat as much as you could quickly, before your body realised how much you'd eaten. Gilly's was to wait a while, then try again. My plan turned out to be between these two.
I still managed to squeeze in a dessert of coconut flavoured algar jelly on Gilly's recommendation!
Apparently you are entitled to 1.30 hours of seating and eating! I think we went over this time limit. At one point we had eaten plenty and were taking a breather, and we were waiting for Ricky and Sheila to arrive.
It was quite hot, but the air con/fans were turned up high. Before long it was getting a bit chilly, and we were reaching for our jackets/jumpers etc.
A waitress had appeared at the entrance to our room. Ricky and Sheila arrived, and.... the fans were turned off. Think the cold air is a way of moving people out! So bring layers!

A table full of food
This was the venue for our VT meet to welcome MalenaN to Manchester, chosen for its location and reasonable prices.
This branch of Missoula, was previously known as Edwards. Another branch can be found in Deansgate.
There are Missoulas scattered around England, plus one in Cardiff and Glasgow (I later realised that I'd eaten at the one in Glasgow the previous year)
Easily spotted, with its double fronted plate glass windows and colourful entrance.
On 2 levels (with disabled access) and a rooftop terrace, with seating and patio heaters.
Contemporary fittings and furnishings, with glass, chrome and reclaimed wood, subdued lighting.
Both floors offer a mix of seating areas - tables with high stools or low tables and comfy chairs, sofas etc.
Well stocked bar on the ground floor, where you also order your food.
Open for breakfast, then last order for food is 22.00hrs.
Unobtrusive background music. Some nights there is live music, or DJ's though.
We decided to sit in the upper mezzanine floor, to spot others arriving. We later moved downstairs, as food was only served here when downstairs was full. (This was Monday night, so the clientele were mainly people dropping by after work, or meeting up with friends for a drink)
There are some good Special Offers on the menu - Monday night was Buy a Main meal, get one free! Also, order a Pizza after 17.00 hrs and get a free drink. See the website for other offers/menu etc.
We voted to go with the BOGOF! As there were 7 of us, we decided to split the bill equally, but when we placed our order, the barman pointed out that we were entitled to another free meal!
Note your table number before ordering.
All in All, a good place for our group to meet up for a few drinks, a meal and a chat.
If you look out for the daily special offers, you can eat very cheaply, so good for anyone on a budget.
Opening hours:
Mon - Thurs 10am - Midnight
Fri 10am - 1am
Sat 8am - 1am
Sun 8am - 12am
Favorite Dish: Myself and Alyson chose gammon (7oz) with fried egg (an alternative was pineapple) and 'shoestring fries' - (French fries)! (for an extra 50p you could have curly fries instead) (£5.95)
Three chose 'BBQ Smothered Chicken' -"Chicken breast topped with melted Swiss Cheese, sweet cured streaky bacon and BBQ sauce - served with shoestring fries and peas" (£6.25) 2 opted for Chicken Burritos, but these were 'off the menu' so they opted for lasagne, served with garlic herb bread and dressed salad (£5.50)
We chose macaroni cheese, served with garlic herb bread and lettice with dressing as our 'extra free meal' to share as a side dish.
When divided between us, this came to the grand price of £3.50 each!!
I enjoyed my meal, although my gammon was a bit dry, so I was glad of the macaroni cheese to 'liven it up' a bit.

Mulled Wine Stall
The smell and taste of Mulled Wine (Gluewein) is one of my favourite Manchester Christmas Markets experiences.
It warms you up, and has a feel good factor!
Here at the Manchester Christmas markets, you are served your hot mulled wine in a mug. For this you pay a £2 deposit, so you can keep your mug as a souvenir, or hand it back and re-claim your £2.
If you keep your mug, you can get it re-filled at any of the stalls serving mulled wine throughout the days/ nights of November/ December that the Christmas Markets are open.
Since 2008, I've tried many variations of mulled wine, sometimes with fruit flavourings- cherry or raspberry or with added rum.
I've also amassed a collection of 'Manchester Christmas Markets mugs' - as the design changes each year now, they make a useful souvenir.
Directions: Albert Square, St Annes Square and other sites offer mulled wine from stalls or bars.

The Wellington & Sinclairs Oyster Bar The Shambles
After 3 years of trying. Gillybob secured us tables in this historic restaurant for our 2009 VT Manchester Christmas Markets meet .
The building known as the Wellington Inn has existed since 1552 , Though at that time it was situated in the Market Place and Shambles. It is now the oldest building in Manchester.
About 17 of us met up outside the pub at 1600hrs, after a day strolling around the Christmas Markets.
We were directed to the upper floor (Byron's Attic), where tables were reserved for us. We had to duck under low beams to enter the room-Hey, I'm a shortie, and even I had to duck under! I sat at a table for 2 with leics- it was a bit of a tight squeeze.
We had to place our food orders at the bar on the floor below. There was quite a fair sized queue with us VTers and other customers. It gave me a chance to decide which of the draught guest Real Ales I wanted (pic 2) I went for the Cornish Doom-Bar- which I enjoyed with my choice of Sausages and Mashed potato with gravy.
The Wellington is famed for its pies-I nearly opted for the Game Pie, which Gareth recommended, but decided to go with the snorkers and Mash. I enjoyed my 3 sausages and fluffy mashed (creamed) potatoes, but would have preferred then to have been grilled/baked/fried so they had a sticky/caramelized outer from a slow cooking - this is just a small criticism, because I still enjoyed them.
The food arrived after a decent interval, it was hot and well presented.
While we were waiting for our food, photos were taken and post cards signed in VT Meet tradition.
UPDATE - November 2011, This was our venue again for our Christmas Market Meet. Since my last visit, this is now part of the Nicholsons pub chain Noted for their traditional pubs with character, plus good quality food, wide selection of beers and 'Good Hospitality'
This time, we were seated at a couple of long tables. Our waitress was excellent - Rather than have the nightmare of sorting out the bill at the end of the meal, she organised for us to have separate bills - each of us being assigned a number for this purpose. She then took our drinks order - this was far easier for us (and other customers) than if we'd all trailed down to the small bar on the floor below. Our food was nicely presented - I was very pleased with mine.
Yes, we ate here again in 2012!!
I'd certainly recommend eating here, although it can be very busy in the bars and beer garden,especially during the Christmas Markets. Also, the dining room is up 2 flights of stairs, so may be difficult for those with mobility/breathing problems.
For diners -the ladies toilets (2 cubicles) are on the 2nd floor (Gents are on the 3rd floor - Dining room )
Favorite Dish: I was going to go for one of the pies, but opted for their smoked hadock rarebit. I was really pleased with this - piping hot moist fish on a bed of potatoes, peas and asparagus with a lemon sauce - Mmmmmmm! Washed down with a pint of Thwaites Wainwright draught bitter.
Total bill £12.80

Hog Roast
Wandering around the European Christmas Market, after enjoying a warming cup of mulled wine and a bratwurst sandwich, I enjoyed the smells from the other food stalls.
One of the popular stalls was a hog roast - where hot roast pork is served with stuffing and apple sauce (help yourself from the nearby dispenser) sandwiched between a soft bread roll.Try to get a piece of crackling for added yumminess!
Another stall, which I think was French sold a traditional hot dish of bacon mushrooms, potatoes, garlic and onions in cream, another pot held potatoes in a sauce.
For those with a sweet tooth- Gingerbread, pastries, chocolate, marzipan etc. were in abundance!
As well as mulled wine, mulled cider, and mulled fruit (non alcoholic), hot chocolate laced with a nip of rum or a variety of European lagers and cold beer was available. The beer garden is open 'til 2100hours.
I'd meant to buy some of the plump olives that I'd spotted earlier, but got side-tracked.
Favorite Dish: I especially enjoy the Hog Roast, bratwursts and the French dishes.
I'm hoping to try the Manchester Egg this year.
The food is all of a good quality, priced around £4/£5 per portion.
Address: Albert Square Manchester
Directions: This square is in front of the town hall. The free shuttle bus (No 3) from Piccadilly passes nearby- get off at The Central Library and walk down to the Town Hall.

Say when!
I suppose that many come to the annual Manchester Christmas Markets to shop for gifts, but the attraction for me was to try the bratwursts and mulled wine.
The Manchester European Christmas Market is one of 9 sites around Manchester, that make up The Manchester Christmas Markets, and is open 10.00 - 2100hrs (15th Nov - 22nd December 2013)
Over the past few years, visiting European food markets has become a popular attraction in towns and cities in the UK. I love visiting the one in Sheffield - though I spend far more than I intend each time!
The Manchester Christmas market had a nice atmosphere- it wasn't too crowded at my first visit in 2009, so was quite easy to walk around. It was very cold though- so wrap up warmly! The stalls were attractively arranged in the traditional styled wooden chalets. Christmas music was being played by small groups sitting outside the Town Hall (I felt so sorry for them sitting in the cold)
Food from Germany, Austria, Spain, Holland and France were just a few of the stalls that I saw.
The aromas from the stalls were tormenting me, I had to try something! A mulled wine and a bratwurst roll were calling me!
Bratwursts are thought to have originated in Germany . Brat= finely chopped meat + Wurst = Sausage.
They are usually pork, beef or veal (or a mix of these meats) and are grilled or roasted, but can also be served in a variety of ways including cooking in beer. Mustard is one of the usual accompaniments. Sauerkraut and potatoes are sometimes served.
There are many variations on the size and recipe of the bratwurst, many are regional dishes.
Mulled Wine - Again there are many varieties and recipes. Mulled = heated and spiced! This dates back to medieval times, when it was often drunk for medicinal reasons. Wine was more available than water often, but was sometimes too rough to drink. It was discovered that ading spices fruit and honey, and heating it made a pleasant drink
I usually prefer red wine mulled, but you can use white wine too. Other ingredients include water, fruit juices, sugar, cinnamon sticks, cloves, allspice, nutmeg, and oranges. Some add a nip of brandy too! You can use any cheap wine. Mulled wine is also available in the shops in bottles or in 'teabags' or muslin bags to add to the wet ingredients.
Gluhwein (Glow wine) from Germany, Vin Chaud (France) Vin Brule (Italy) are all names for this warming drink. In Germany a shot of Schnapps may be served as a chaser.
Scandinavian Glog has an addition of raisins and almonds.
Favorite Dish: I enjoyed a cup of hot, spicy and alcohol laden mulled wine, which was a lot stronger than I'd anticipated! I paid £3 for the wine and £2 for the cup - which you could keep or return to collect your £2 deposit
I was glad of my bratwurst served in a bread roll (£4) to soak up the mulled wine! The stall that we purchased the wine from was serving 2 different varieties of sausage- a plain pork, or a spicy version. I opted for the spicy one, while Margaret went with the plain version. These were topped with lashings of tomato ketchup and a mild mustard.
There were small tables nearby to stand at.
There are also stalls to purchase a variety of sausages, bratwursts, salami etc to eat at home.
Another favourite stall in Albert Square, is The Hog Roast .......

Hard Rock Cafe sign
Saturday late afternoon, Manchesters bars and restaurants were full. Luckily Gillybob soon arranged for a table for the 17 VTers who were attending her Christmas Markets 2009 VT Meet at The Hard Rock Cafe.
As our table wasn't ready yet, we enjoyed a drink in the bar. Gillybob was given a device that would vibrate when our table was ready. This Hard Rock Cafe is the largest in the UK with seating for up-to 430 diners.
We were seated at a long table, where we could chat, take photos, sign post cards etc while waiting for our food. The young waiters were very patient and efficient. One was rewarded with a VT badge from Gillybob, after he'd been interested in what VT was all about. Dao even managed to parade his VT flag without trouble! (see my Travelogues for more photos)
This world wide known establishment opened here in September 2000. The Hard Rock Cafe is known for its American influenced food and drinks served amongst a background of Rock memorabillia, donated by musical greats past and present or found in auctions etc.. Music videos are played on various screens.
This was my 2nd visit to a Hard Rock Cafe (my first was in Bath,where I'd been excited to see one of Clarence Clemons saxaphones- The E-Street Band are one of my favourite groups)
Many of the legends from the Manchester music scene are represented here - Oasis, The Smiths, Stone Roses etc. As I'm from Sheffield, I was surprised to see a plaque that commemorated The Arctic Monkeys non appearance at the 2007 Brit awards. Instead they were linked by video from Sheffield. Some of the costumes that they wore for their acceptance speech are displayed in glass cabinets above the sign.
Around the bar are words from Oasis's 'Wonderwall'
There's also a shop to buy HRC gifts and CD's. The Hard Rock Cafe organisation is known for its philanthropic acts- donating vast amounts to various local, national and International charities. Their present projects involve fighting hunger and poverty and supporting World Hunger Year (WHY?) and the 'Imagine there's no hunger' campaign. You can buy charity goods or give donations at the Rock Shop

I've just found out that the next HRC is to open in Venice on 18th December - So maybe I'll call in for a drink during my Christmas Visit. I'll probably not eat there this time though, as I'll be filling my face with local produce.
Favorite Dish: The menu is geared towards Quality American food such as burgers and steaks - all good quality, with large portions. (Click onto the link above for a sample menu) .
I decided to miss the starter and chose a salad -
The Honey Citrus Grilled Chicken Salad at £9.95 sounded delicious - and it was!
"Fresh cut greens tossed with sweet red onions, grilled cajun chicken tossed with a honey citrus dressing.Topped with fresh orange segments, spiced pecans, red pepper strips, sweetened dried cranberries and blue cheese crumbles" (See picture ) This was a great place for a large group to eat ( especially as we hadn't pre- booked).
The food was good, well presented and my salad was cold, while the chicken was warm, which I was quite impressed with as the place was very busy.

This was the first time that I'd seen this stall in the European Christmas Market in Albert Square - it was the first time that I'd seen (or even heard of) this traditional German drink.
While standing chatting, I'd spotted a nearby stall with a large pan with sugar cones placed on a rack above it - my curiosity got the better of me - I asked the stall holder what this was - In the pan, (which was heated) was mulled wine. Rum is poured over the sugar, which caramelises, and drips into the wine below. Yes, I had to try this! While I was waiting to be served, I watched the rum being poured over the sugar cone and igniting. Apparently the rum has to be 54% proof or above to ignite for this recipe. Feurzangenbowle means Flaming Fire Tongs Punch, as tongs are often substituted for the rack to hold the sugar.
I now know that the sugar cones are called Zuckerhut, which translates as sugar hat. These are usually made of refined sugar (raffinade).
Favorite Dish: I really enjoyed my mug of Feurzangenbowle, it was certainly warming. The slight caramelised taste added extra flavour. This cost £4 (mug deposit £2 or to keep) I'd already purchased a mug to add to my steadily growing Christmas Markets collection!
Most of the mulled wine stalls were charging £3 plus extra for a shot of spirit.

Hot Roasted Chestnut Stall
This stall was located at the start of Brazennose Street and its Christmas Market.
I'm afraid that I didn't get around to buying a bag of roasted chestnuts from this stall I had intended returning here later on (I'd just filled up on a roasted pork sandwich in the Albert Square Christmas Market)

Football: Liberty Christian falls in heartbreaker
AUSTIN -- The Liberty Christian Warriors did everything they could to extend their season on Saturday against Austin St. Michael's.The Warriors outgained the Crusaders by 70 yards, ran 20 more plays and even had leads in the fourth quarter and overtime. But the Warriors lost an emotional 50-49 decision to St. Michael's in the second round of the TAPPS Division I playoffs.Liberty Christian (9-3) and St. Michael's traded touchdowns for nearly the entire game, but the Warriors seemed to be in control when Brett Metzler barreled in from 2 yards out for a 42-35 lead with 1:15 left to play.But St. Michael's (11-1) got a 25-yard touchdown catch on the final play of the game to force overtime and set the stage for the emotional extra period."I just felt like we deserved a better fate than what we got today," said Liberty head coach Greg Price. "We did everything we could to put ourselves in position to win, and yet it just didn't happen."The Warriors nearly got that win in overtime, as Jared Lawson scored on an 8-yard run for a 49-42 edge. But the Crusaders came back with a touchdown of their own in overtime, and took advantage of a running-into-the-kicker penalty to set up a two-point try from inside the Liberty Christian 2.St. Michael's tailback Luke Seeker then scored to send Liberty Christian away with the season-ending loss."This game had so many ups and downs for both teams," Price said. "Again we had our chances and our kids fought from start to finish. I'm still at a loss to figure out how we didn't win this game." Liberty Christian controlled the line of scrimmage for most of the game, rolling up 326 yards overall. Lawson did much of the damage with a game-high 214 yards on 27 carries, while Metzler racked up 61 yards and two touchdowns to go with four catches for 84 yards."Our offensive line just took over the game, especially in the second half," Price said. "They just kept getting stronger as the game went on and the kids kept running well behind them."Neither team led by more than a touchdown in the game, with the score tied at 14-14 after the first quarter and 28-28 at the half.Liberty Christian quarterback Josh Cousins (213 yards passing) threw touchdown passes to Caden Compton and Trevor Simms in that opening half, while Simms and Metzler added fourth quarter touchdowns for the Warriors. Simms finished with three touchdown catches and 62 yards receiving for Liberty Christian.

A father and daughter who had been missing at Arthur's Pass
since Sunday have been found safe and well today.
Jeremy Walsh, 56, and 24-year-old Lucy-Jane Walsh from
Christchurch were reported missing on Sunday night after
failing to return home from an overnight tramp.
They were found during a helicopter search about 8.40am,
Search and Rescue coordinator Detective Logan Penrose said.
The pair was discovered near the headwaters of the Rolleston
"They were cold but are otherwise well and uninjured," Mr
Penrose said.
"We understand the pair had deviated from the track
instructions and were unable to regain the track in the upper
regions of the Rolleston River. This track is known to be
poorly formed and in a difficult area.
"They have done the right thing by choosing to remain in one
spot and await rescue."

After Rajinikanth and Alok Nath, Twitter jokes have found its new target in Bollywood actress Yami Gautam. The microblogging site overflowed with jokes making fun of the actress' Fair and Lovely ads.
Yami, who started her career with Chand Ke Paar Chalo on television, made a mark for herself with her role in Yeh Pyar Na Hoga Kam aired on Colors channel.
Later, she made her Bollywood debut with Vicky Donor and was appreciated for her performance in the film.
However, she shot to limelight when she became the face of the fairness cream. But Yami saw the other side of fame when the same ads made her the butt of jokes on Twitter.
Here are some of the cheeky one liners doing the rounds:

Aram (Biblical region)[edit]
Hi. The problem is that Rktect is doing this to quite a few articles, ie posting OR. He's been banned from certain types of articles for this sort of thing. See what he just put on the talk page of Battle of Kadesh, what do you make of it? Doug Weller (talk) 16:26, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
Republic of New Afrika[edit]
I notice some of the changes you made to the Republic of New Afrika article and want to help improve it, but haven't learned how to use Wikipedia effectively (yet). Are you the person who left the "white power" message??
My intent is to help make the article more accurate and informative (as time allows) and to minimize acts of vandalism.
One particular item that needs attention is placing the correct RNA flag in the article. The RNA flag is not the same flag the Marcus Garvey popularized!
There are, of course, other matters that need to be dealt with... and I will get to them as I learn more.

So I hope if you are here you have read the new Thunderbolts 1 from Marvel NOW! I like the characters and look forward to how things progress, albeit very wearily... Personally I wish they'd have kept the Thunderbolts more inline with the heroic age issues when Cage took over the team. Maybe with Songbird as the new leader, but drawn normally(didn't like the short hair or the crazy shaved side look...) Also hope they keep ghost in stories somewhere, I really like him too. Anyway...
I'm curious though.. Is the purple haired girl part of the team? And who is she?
There is the page that kind of shows the four other characters besides Castle and Ross, which shows Venom, the purple haired lady, Deadpool, and Elektra. So I am assuming the team will consist of these 6 people but I don't know who she is and her face is darkened out on that page. Though I suppose it is the lady earlier in the issue shown fighting the Hulk.
So yeah, who is she? Will she be part of the team or maybe the first villain?

Saturday May 1, 2010
PETALING JAYA: Former prime minister Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi has refuted claims by his predecessor that he signed away Malaysia's rights to potential oil revenue in the South China Sea to Brunei.
Abdullah, who signed an Exchange of Letters with Sultan of Brunei Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah on Feb 16 last year, said the agreement allowed Malaysia to join in the exploration of petroleum resources from two areas known as Blocks L and M.
He said he signed the agreement after the Malaysian Cabinet approved the deal on Feb 11.
While the agreement stated that the sovereign rights of the resources in the two areas belonged to Brunei, he said it also included a commercial arrangement where Malaysia would be allowed to participate on a commercial basis to jointly develop the oil and gas resources in the area for 40 years.
"This means that in so far as the oil and gas resources are concerned, the agreement is not a loss for Malaysia," he said in a statement yesterday.
Abdullah was responding to a blog posting by Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, entitled "Malaysia's Generosity", which asked why the two blocks no longer belonged to Malaysia.
Dr Mahathir said the two blocks had been claimed by Malaysia based on historical facts and Petronas had accordingly entered into a production sharing contract with US-based Murphy Oil to start drilling to produce oil.
He said the estimated reserves in the two blocks amounted to almost one billion barrels.
Dr Mahathir said Abdullah had negotiated with the Sultan to get back Limbang, which was claimed by Brunei but, in return, surrendered the two blocks to Brunei.
Dr Mahathir said Abdullah had also announced that the "Limbang Question" was settled but this was denied by Brunei the following day.
The blog was posted after a statement by Murphy Oil on April 21 saying its production sharing contracts covering Blocks L and M – which Brunei refers to as Blocks K and J respectively – awarded by Petronas Carigali Sdn Bhd in 2003 were formally terminated by a letter dated April 7 this year.
It said this was the result of Petronas informing it that the two blocks were no longer part of Malaysia.
On Brunei's denial that the Limbang Question was settled, Abdullah said the two countries had agreed to undertake a joint survey to demarcate the agreed boundary.
He said firstly, the joint survey would confirm on the ground the boundary in five sectors which had already been established by previous agreements in 1920, 1931, 1933 (two agreements) and in 1930.
Secondly, he said in the other sectors where no land boundary agreement existed, the joint survey would determine the land boundary based on the watershed principle.
"When the entire boundary demarcation exercise is completed, there will be establised a final and permanent boundary between Sarawak on the Malaysian side and Brunei on the other side," Abdullah added.

The convicts are Daler Singh of Bhittewal village, Ravi of Sahaipur village, Jaswinder Singh and Jagpreet Singh, both residents of Ladhupur village, Satwant Singh of Jagowal Bangar village, Gora of Ghorewah village and Sarabjit Singh of Chib village.
The victim had boarded a private minibus from her parental village Jagatpur in Pathankot district for her house at Ghukla village, 40km away, on January 11. When the bus arrived at her destination, driver Daler Singh and conductor Ravi did not stop the bus; instead, they took her to Gurdaspur, another distance of 24 km.
The driver and the conductor took her on a motorcycle to an unidentified place where five of their friends also joined them. From there she was taken to a house where all seven gangraped her.
The victim told the police that Daler Singh dropped her near her house at Ghukla village the next morning from where she walked to Kahnuwan police station to report the crime. On the statement of the victim, the police got her medically examined, which confirmed the rape.
The police registered a case against all seven accused under section 376 of the IPC. The police swung into action immediately and managed to arrest six of the accused within hours while the seventh accused was arrested a day later.

Give it a try?
Core2duo is the bottom line for ok Windows 7 performance and was standard in 2009 when Windows 7 was released. It is tuned for that cpu as the icore's came out just afterwards. Pentium IV's I would not bother but people have successfully ran it on them believe it or not.
Also Windows XP has no hardware acceleration anyway. GDI is not GDI+ like in Windows Vista and higher. IE 9 was very usable on this system with hardware acceleration on. Just flickered a little as long as no more than 1 ad or flash video was on it was ok.
Windows7 is the new XP and will be used for many years to come. My father has a core2duo with an intel gma 945 chipset. I put Windows 7 on it for him last summer. It works. It has 2 gigs of ram and occasionally it can get slowed down with hardware accelerated flash ads if you has more than 4 tabs opened. But for his needs it is fine.
Yes he would still be using XP today if I didn't upgrade him. There was no reason to change other than security issues. So I can see why many still use that aging OS. Baby boomers make up a significant part of the population. Corporations too are very cheap and see no point in upgrading and spending lots of money and increasing risk for something that does what they alread have?!
They will wait until 2019 to even start upgrading today and blame MS and not themselves as usual.

I think this is just another case of nearsighted self serving behaviour from a retailer. I get this all the time - even with things the stores have in stock, they look at me as an unwanted pest because I cling to film. I hear a horror story every time I walk in, and its usually delivered with a smirk.
Just two days ago, my local Henry's store clerk informed me that they havve very little film becuae manufacturers are "not shipping it" - and made that face like she was about to call security...
Screw her - I told her that I like to support my local stores before they all go away, but with their attitude, I dont see the point.
This Nikon story seems like more of the same, that smirking little attitude that says: "So, what are you going to do now, huh?".

The new series of Big Brother starts on Tuesday on Channel 5, with Brian Dowling hosting the live launch show at 9pm after an hour of auditions.
Pictures of the Big Brother 2012 house have already been released, and now we've got a peek at the all-important diary room chair.

Big Brother bosses promise the show "surprise and delight" this summer with "plenty of twists", but also warn housemates will be "shocked by some game changing tasks" that will turn the house upside down.
Last year's Big Brother winner, Aaron Allard-Morgan has been speaking about the show ahead of its launch, claiming that four of his fellow housemates attempted suicide.Big Brother 2011's lovebirds Faye and Aaron haved filmed a spin-off show pilot. Copyright [Rex]
Aaron Allard-Morgan yesterday told The Wright Stuff: "I genuinely fear for them, they don't realise what they're letting themselves in for. They give you very little preparation for what's likely to happen.
"From my year, with the 15 of us, I know that four of them have tried to commit suicide after the show just because of the ramifications and impact that it has on your life.
"You're not prepared and you don't have the aftercare that perhaps you should be getting afterwards. The people that are going in tomorrow, they're not gonna hear this."

Big Brother winner Aaron Allard-Morgan didn't reveal which housemates he was referring to.
He did talk about his relationship with fellow housemate Faye Palmer, saying that they are still together and are looking into a possible TV show spin-off, having already filmed a pilot.
We're so excited for this latest series of Big Brother.
