Judith has a passion for interior and design of a luxurious quality, where there is no compromise. Travelling throughout the world and discovering Liepaja, located on the beautiful Baltic Coast line was a dream come true. This love of Latvia brought about the opportunity to create stunning high standard apartments where discerning travellers can have the opportunity to experience Latvia as well as have the comforts of 'home'.
Judith and Ashley purchased two apartments and made them into one large, three bedroom apartment. It is in the heart of the old town of Liepaja and across the road is the canal and Liepaja Yacht Club. The apartment is filled with light - from the north and south and gives a beautiful sense of calm and tranquility. The four storey Russian style building is soon to undergo a transformation of the exterior and interior. Entering the stunning apartment is like walking from Russian soviet time, through a time warp into a contemporary, luxury interior. Like Latvia, it is full of contrasts. This is what is so special about this beautiful town, on the beautiful Baltic coast, sandwiched between Estonia to the north and Lithuania to the south.
Large new interior, ideal for people who love high-tech gadgets, such as remote controlled blinds (shades) and a selection of light mood selections. You can relax on the wonderful Italian leather couches and watch the huge Full HD TV with surround sound cinema experience, or listen to music in any of the bedrooms. Each bedroom is equipped with TV and audio docking systems of the highest quality. Ample dining room sits 8 people and each bedroom has its own TV. HD channels and Blu-Ray movies are available for the home cinema. DVDs and CDs are available also.
imagine the feel of a central manhattan loft were Phillipe Stark has given his signature on, but, you are in Liepaja coastal town in Latvia. All the rest and nature entertainment at your feet and yes also the luxury of this fully equipped very tasteful loft! The host Ashley and local help Sintija were great and very helpful!
This is a must visit, if you are looking for an extrordinary experience in wonderful Latvia. Really, really great! Yvo, Inna and Ilya
Was a perfect place to visit. Calm city and beach. The beach was as long as the eye could see, and almost no turists.!
Nice place for your wallet, and the trip to Karosta with the ghost of the old cccp stil hanging around made it complete.
The host was also exellent.
The flat was over the top regardig to all the facilities.
We stayed with five friends in a really sophisticated,high tech apartment in a Soviet-era building in Liepaja on Latvia's Baltic Coast, early in Spring 2010. The owners have created a really unique experience for their guests and work extremely hard to ensure that your every need is met.
The 'all-singing, all-dancing' shower in the Master ensuite is impressive. With a light-show, music and every concievable computerised programme ranging from a Scottish mist to full blast downpour!
The apartment is equipped with a 'Home Cinema' complete with an eclectic range of Blu-Ray DVDs, 3-D films and Satellite TV which you watch on a giant screen complemented by an superb sound system. The guest bedrooms each have their own I-pod docking station and TV on which to watch DVD's.
Lots of attention to detail has been paid to making sure that a touch of luxury awaits you in Liepaja, which is a really interesting seaside city with a fascinating past, great beaches and a musical heritage well-worth exploring. This apartment is in an ideal location near the canal and promenade.
The only down-side is the entrance to the building, since this does not reflect the luxury and style which awaits within but the owners are actively seeking a resolution to this.
I stayed in this luxury apartment with 3 friends for 1 week at the end of August 2009. It was an excellent place to stay and it is in the very heart of lovely Liepaja. The nice seaside park and the baltic coast are only a 10 minute walk away.
The property was very clean and well equipped. We were made very welcome on arrival and some food items were supplied to get us off to a good start.
There are plenty of good restaurants nearby. Our favourite was the Maja Restaurant.
Leiligheten ligger i et fint område ved kanalen. Gangavstand til en stor Rimibutikk med stort utvalg. I tilknytning til denne er det flere hyggelige butikker å stikke innom. Leiligheten er veldig fin. Store flotte soverom med høy standard. Flott stue med der det er hyggelig å sette seg ned etter en opplevelsesrik dag. Det er flere gode restauranter i gangavstand. Vi fikk anbefalinger fra Judith og alle falt i smak. Utleier var veldig behjelpelig i alle henseender. Det gjorde at vi fikk mange gode opplevelser. I tillegg til at det er en flott leilighet vil jeg fremheve at Judith skaffet mye nyttig informasjon i forkant og under oppholdet. Vi følte oss veldig godt ivaretatt.
Vi benyttet ofte en veldig fin sykkelsti fra leiligheten og til stranden. I nærheten av stranden er det en utrolig fin park. Der trivdes vi.Byen er koselig og det er veldig rent
over alt. Hyggelig sted å være.
Eine tolle Wohnung.Sehr zentral gelegen.Alles leicht zu Fuss zu erreichen.Ashley kümmert sich lieb und perfekt um Alles.Besser kann man es nicht haben.Wir werden noch einmal wiederkommen.

The Jena Ministerial Association met in a closed door meeting at Trout Creek Baptist Church Thursday night, searching for a solution to the racial tensions that currently exist at Jena High School and within the community.
In response to an arson fire at the school, recent fights that have taken place on- and off-campus and a racial incident that included a noose being hung from a tree, the ministers held a prayer service last week at Jena High School's football stadium and listened to the concerns of parents and students at the school.
Thursday night's two-hour meeting was held to decide what the pastors could do to become more active in the community.
The Rev. Dominick DiCarlo Jr. of First Baptist Church in Jena said the ministers wanted to take a proactive role in the community, which has turned out in large numbers during prayer walks.
"We had more than 300 people join us in the prayer walks we had at the four Jena schools," DiCarlo said. "Tonight, we assessed what further actions we need to take in ending the tension that exists in Jena."
In order for the community to come together, the ministers must come together first, said the Rev. Roger Green Sr. of Trout Creek Baptist Church in Trout.
The ministers held an open discussion and found a plan that could show Jena and the rest of LaSalle Parish that there is unity in numbers.
"What we plan to do is include every minister in the parish of all ethnic backgrounds and the ministers in the north side of the parish into one unified front," Green said. "Our next meeting will be in February at Midway Baptist Church in Jena. The parish will see all the ministers working towards one goal of harmony."
DiCarlo also said the ministers plan to greet parents and students of Jena High School when they return from the Christmas break.

5 Companies Creating High-Tech Classrooms
The Low-Cost Alternative
Why buy an interactive whiteboard when you can transform a regular whiteboard into an interactive system for roughly half the price? That's the question being posed by Luidia, a San Carlos, California, company that produces a portable device called the eBeam, which renders whiteboard projections interactive. Also unlike most of its competitors in this space, Luidia works with partners: 3M, Hitachi, and NEC use Luidia's technology in their equipment. Between January and September 2008, Luidia sold 25,000 units.

I'm a Silver Digital Eagle, which means I work with Barclays to help people understand digital technology and how it can help make their lives better. In all there are 7,000 Digital Eagles, most of whom are based in branches, who help people from all walks of life get online.
Technology can be a great help to people of all ages and abilities. Online shopping, for example, is particularly useful to those who are less mobile or live in areas that don't have easy access to large shopping centres.
You might not shop online often, but it's good to know that it is there if you need it. If you don't live in a big city or town it can be a chore to make it out to the shops. Online shopping is great for buying things that can be hard to find, such as specific books, CDs or electronic items. The key is to make sure you stick to the recognisable online shops. I'm quite cautious about shopping online, so I use a separate payment card with a low spending limit. It means that, in the unlikely event of anything going wrong, it can't do much damage. It's probably overly cautious but it helps give me extra confidence.
It's always a good idea to make sure your computer has anti-virus software installed. And if you're online in a public place such as a library or internet café, don't forget to log out of any site you have been shopping on when you have finished your session.
If you don't want to buy online you can also research purchases on the internet before buying in the real world. That's a popular way of doing it and a lot of shops now offer a ''Click & Collect'' service, too.
These guides, produced in partnership with The Telegraph, bring you advice on how to make the most of the internet. See below for some fabulous tips from Free: Formers, the online training organisation, to get you shopping happily and safely.
1 Only purchase products from a site or shop you recognise and trust. Just like the high street, you want to avoid paying out for fakes.
2 If you are unsure about a website, search for it on Google. If it is untrustworthy, someone will probably have written a critical review.
3 If a deal looks too good to be true it probably is, so don't enter your card details or give away any personal information.
Shopping online opens up a whole new and exciting world. It's even better if you can do it on a phone and tablet
You will need an email account and a debit or credit card to shop online. Remember to create secure passwords so you can shop safely.
Buying food, clothes, gardening equipment and more can be fun and more convenient as there is so much choice. Check online reviews for the product and customer service.
Don't worry if what you buy isn't what you want after all. You can return it as you would if you'd bought it on the high street but read the small print.
Many online shops will offer to save your login passwords and payment details. This can be OK if you don't share a computer or your family are never left alone to play with your phone. However, the safest way to avoid misuse is to opt out and take the time to fill out the information yourself next time.
When it comes to buying from a private seller — such as on eBay, Gumtree or Preloved — always use the internet site's insured payment methods, such as PayPal, and never make a payment direct to a seller's bank account
Find reviews of the seller, communicate with them and don't just hope for the best.
Check the item before paying, get photo or look in person if possible.
When meeting someone you don't know, meet in a public place, tell someone where you are going and don't carry large amounts of cash.
Walk away from a purchase if something doesn't feel right.
If something goes wrong report it or write a review about the seller or product because others can learn from your bad experience.
Make sure the site and your internet connection are secure
Before paying for anything online make sure there is a small padlock symbol and "s" for secure at the start of the web address (https//).
When using open or shared Wi-Fi, for example in a café, library or on the train, it's best not to share confidential information at all. If you must, make sure that both the website you are visiting and the Wi-Fi connection are trusted (see above).

Chevrolet to conduct real-world tests of EN-V concept in Tianjin Eco-City
By Darren Quick
October 13, 2011
Last year, GM unveiled its EN-V (Electric Networked-Vehicle) concept in three flavors conceived by design teams around the world. In an effort to ascertain the real-world practicality of the two-seat, electric urban mobility concept, GM has begun work on the next-generation EN-V concept vehicle which the company plans to test in pilot demonstration programs in megacities around the world. The new vehicle and future EN-V concepts will also now be part of the Chevrolet brand and carry a Chevrolet badge.
The next-gen EN-V concept, which will now be branded as a Chevrolet and carry a Chevrolet badge, will add climate control, personal storage space and all-weather and road condition operation, while retaining the pod-form factor of previous EN-V designs that provides a small footprint and the ability to turn on a dime. The new model will continue to be powered by lithium-ion batteries that can be recharged from a standard household outlet to provide a range of 40 km (25 miles) on a single charge.
GM has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-City Investment and Development Co. Ltd. (SSTEC) to integrate the next-gen EN-V into the Tianjin Eco-City for real-world testing. The Tianjin Eco-City is an ecologically friendly city to house around 350,000 residents being constructed about 150 km (93 miles) from Beijing in a collaboration between the Chinese and Singaporean governments.
Tying the vehicle into the power, communications and physical infrastructure of the Tianjin Eco-City will allow GM to test a number of the EN-V's features in a real-world environment. These include the vehicle's autonomous driving capabilities, which are enabled by combining GPS with vehicle-to-vehicle communications and distance-sensing technologies, along with wireless communications capabilities that allows drivers and occupants to communicate hands-free with friends and business associates while on the go.
It's expected the EN-V's ability to communicate with other vehicles and infrastructure could also help reduce crashes and traffic congestion and make it easier to find a vacant parking space or the fastest route based on real-time traffic information.
"This technology platform of electric propulsion, sensors, wireless communications and GPS-based navigation is likely to migrate from the EN-V concept to other automobiles and could lead the way to safer, cleaner vehicles in the future," said Chris Borroni-Bird, GM's director of Advanced Technology Vehicle Concepts. "It provides an ideal solution for petroleum- and emission-free urban transportation that is free from congestion and crashes, and more fun and fashionable than ever before."
Along with the Tianjin Eco-City trial, Chevrolet says it will also explore other locations around the world - including the U.S. - for potential pilot programs for the EN-V concept.
Here's some video featuring the original three EN-V designs and how they might work in the real-world.

Ahhh - gotta love the future! So Jetsons! I\'m guessing there will be no potholes in the roads of the future. These little guys have nearly no ground clearance and would get eaten by a city pothole or likely tip over going up a hill in San Francisco. I\'m really just being a pessimist here - I\'d love to see future world work - once everyone is fed.dsiple
I am sure glad that we are not a megacity here. Concepted to death!Chris Jordan
Neat. But would it kill them to add just a little bit of trunk space?Jeff Edsell
Where do the groceries go? FAIL!VoiceofReason
Simplefy it. gyros would eat up more power, Why not give it three wheels and better susspension? What is the top speed? The prototypes don\'t appear to exceed 20Mph. How long to charge? And when the Spindizzy goes sour, how hard is it to repair? How about a pickup version?kellory
I can do at least that good without millions of research dollars. This is something I designed in Truespace. Even has a trunk. With current electric motorcycle technology, it should have almost a 200 mile range, two people, and protection from bad weather.
Great idea. Hey I have an idea, how about a simple reliable car, inexpensive to maintain, seats 2 people with room for some items that gets 70mpg.... asking too much am I?Mark A
Um...this looks really stupid...and no...not Jetsons-like, more like Woody Allen's "Sleeper"Ed
@MarkA, hey Mark you may be onto something!!! What an idea, something light on fuel that people can actually afford - brilliant. Cut out most of the modern cr@p, just throw in ABS and two airbags for safety, and leave out all the other modern marketing acronyms. - Max speed actually matching the speed limits. The second seat can even be a temp seat for occasional use.
Seriously, why hasn\'t any major automaker come up with this idea yet?
What I cannot understand is why we still need to take 1-2 tons of metal and plastic to work with us everyday. If you have to have a SUV, leave it in the garage for weekends only.Riaanh
Well, Voice of Reason, You are fogetting a few things, and you are absolutely right on the others. Chevy built this, so its government funded. From the get go, it\'s agenda inspired. Also, with a shorter range, its an effective population control method. most third world countries don\'t sell gas on election day. So population cant travel to revolt. With cars like this, all they have to do is turn off the electrical grid, and the most distance you can travel is 25 km, or 13 miles. Am I a fruitcake? I dont know, but I watch where things are going, and I dont like it.Dave McKinney
Regarding the post. \"Great idea. Hey I have an idea, how about a simple reliable car, inexpensive to maintain, seats 2 people with room for some items that gets 70mpg.... asking too much am I? \" These were created 23 years ago, they are called Citroen AX\'s, I get a regular 64-68 mpg and it\'s a 4 seater diesel. Starts every time and has over 100,000 on the clock.Facebook User
\"What I cannot understand is why we still need to take 1-2 tons of metal and plastic to work with us everyday. If you have to have a SUV, leave it in the garage for weekends only.\" Simple, it is my transportation, my office, my tool box, my lunch room, my product display area, my receptionist\'s desk, my salesman\'s office, oh yeah, my own damn business. You don\'t want one? Simple, don\'t buy one. Some of us need what we buy. Make your own choice, and I will make mine.kellory

Claimed Narrow Range Must Be Shown To Be Critical To Operability Of Invention To Avoid Anticipation By Broader Range
Le-Nhung McLeland | April 27, 2015
Ineos USA LLC v. Berry Plastics Corp.
April 16, 2015
Before: Dyk, Moore and O'Malley. Opinion by Moore.
Background: Appeal from U.S. District Court for Southern District of Texas which granted summary judgment that patent asserted by Ineos is invalid for anticipation.
U.S. Patent No. 6,846,863 (the '863 patent) claims a polyethylene-based composition which can be used to form shaped products, in particular bottle caps. The composition contains a lubricant to optimize the cap's slip properties. The '863 patent asserts that the composition does not impart a bad odor and flavor to food products stored in contact with the composition, which is an improvement over prior art polyethylene composition containing a lubricant.
Claim 1 is the only independent claim:
1. Composition comprising at least
[1] 94.5% by weight of a polyethylene with a standard density of more than 940 kg/m3,
[2] 0.05 to 0.5% by weight of at least one saturated fatty acid amide represented by CH3(CH2)nCONH2 in which n ranges from 6 to 28[,]
[3] 0 to 0.15% by weight of a subsidiary lubricant selected from fatty acids, fatty acid esters, fatty acid salts, mono-unsaturated fatty acid amides, polyols containing at least 4 carbon atoms, mono or poly-alcohol monoethers, glycerol esters, paraffins, polysiloxanes, fluoropolymers and mixtures thereof, and
[4] 0 to 5% by weight of one or more additives selected from antioxidants, antacids, UV stabilizers, colorants and antistatic agents. (emphasis added)
The CAFC opinion inserted the bracketed numbers into the claims to identify the components of the composition. In addition to the base polyethylene (component 1), the only required component is the specifically defined saturated fatty acid amide (component 2, which serves as a primary lubricant.)
Claim 1 recites a range of 0.05 to 0.5% by weight for the lubricant. Berry asserts that claim 1 is anticipated by U.S. Patent No. 5,948,846 (the '846 reference patent) which discloses a polyethylene based composition containing stearamide, a compound falling within the group of saturated fatty ester amide (2) recited in claim 1 of the '863 patent. The broad range of 0.1 to 5 parts by weight disclosed in the '846 reference patent for component (2) overlaps with the relatively narrow range recited in claim 1 of the asserted patent, as shown below (not to scale):
The '846 reference patent also describes the amount of the lubricant as being "at least 0.1 part by weight per 100 parts of polyolefin, in particular of at least 0.2 parts by weight, quantities of at least 0.4 parts by weight being the most common ones".
The district court found claim 1 and the dependent asserted claims to be anticipated by the '846 reference patent, and granted summary judgment for Berry Plastics.

This American Life
This American Life describes contemporary life with themed episodes and a variety of stories on that theme — mostly true stories of everyday people, though not always. The stories presented are engaging, intimate, surprising, funny, disturbing and bittersweet.
Recent Episodes
#245: Allure of the Mean Friend
What is it about them, our mean friends? They treat us badly, they don't call us back, they cancel plans at the last minute, and yet we come back for more. Popular bullies exist in business, politics, everywhere. How do they stay so popular?
#339: Break-Up
Writer Starlee Kine on what makes the perfect break-up song and whether really sad music can actually make you feel better. Plus, an eight-year-old author of a book about divorce, and other stories from the heart of heartbreak.
#530: Mind Your Own Business
Stories of meddling, snooping, and just getting way, way up in other
people's business. A cellphone hidden in a bag of chips starts a messy turf war between the FBI
and a local sheriff; and a surprising handbook lets us peek into the secret world of professional
cheerleading. Plus: Studs Terkel.
#241: 20 Acts in 60 Minutes
Instead of the usual "each week we choose a theme, and bring you 3 or 4 stories on that theme" business, we throw all that away and bring you 20 stories—yes, 20—in 60 minutes.
#529: Human Spectacle
Gladiators in the Colosseum. Sideshow performers. Reality television. We've always loved to gawk at the misery or majesty of others. But this week, we ask the question: What's it like when the tables are turned and all eyes are on you?

Estimates of humic substances in the soils of the world suggest a total of 14 to 15 × 10
If the Kyoto cuts were implemented, the changes would be of the order of 1 or 2 per cent of the total carbon respired by soil. The errors in estimation are likely to be greater than this. These figures are given as a quantitative summary of the carbon cycle on page 3 of

You know, a list of things you want to do or accomplish before you "kick the bucket?"
I've been wondering about the things I'd like to accomplish and most of them come down to travel!
I'd love to start a foundation in the name of my Grandfather, Herself's G-ddaughter, and Da. One that would help children and young adults in some way...
I'd like to take Herself to the area of Maine where I grew up and show her why I am the way I am. :D
I'd like to visit P-Town with Herself and spend some time on the beach there.
We all know (say it together now) I want to go back to Ireland.
I want to visit England, Scotland, Wales, Italy, France, China, Australia, Kenya, Tanzania, Botswana, the Mountain Gorillas, Tahiti, Fiji... kind of an endless list.
I want to see Seth graduate from HS and be on the road to success in his personal life.
I want to have a job that I feel I'm really able to help, truly HELP people...
I'd like to visit each Disney park worldwide! :D
I'd like to be able to marry Herself. Truly marry, with "papers to prove it."
Things like that...
What's on your bucket list?

In the beginning, there wasn't simply Heaven and Earth, regardless of what the scholars of Man had led the masses to believe. In the all expansive and infiniteness of space, and the countless universes, the Angels once played and called many planets home. They were Gods in their own minds, a perfect representation of the Creator, thus they were above all other creations. The Creator loved each creation equally, dedicating a star to each and every one of them in the expansiveness of the Creator's kingdom, and overlooked their haughty comparisons to the undeniable omnipotence of the Alpha and Omega. That is, until competition for the Creator's attention crawled out of the primordial slime.
mlareau 3 years ago
I love this beginning, but I think I already have this book. Did you put up a download link on your Facebook or was that another one? I really can't remember. But I remember groaning when it ended, and wishing there was another one haha

Sepp Blatter still hopes to secure a fifth term in office this week despite the arrests in Switzerland today of seven senior Fifa officials accused by the FBI of taking millions of dollars in bribes and kickbacks. Football's governing body also ruled out moving either the 2018 or 2022 World Cups after Swiss police announced a criminal investigation into alleged corruption in the bidding process for both. The seven officials, including two Fifa vice-presidents, were held in a dawn raid on a five-star hotel in Zurich requested by US prosecutors. All seven, along with two other Fifa officers and five business executives, were indicted in a US federal court on charges of racketeering, money laundering and wire fraud. "The indictment alleges corruption that is rampant, systemic, and deep-rooted both abroad and here in the United States," said Loretta Lynch,
A 14-year-old boy who was trapped six-feet under water in an Italian canal for 42 minutes has made a 'miracle' recovery which has amazed doctors. The boy's heart stopped beating while he was under water. Rescuers who pulled him from the canal in Cuggiono, near Milan, assumed he was dead, but were shocked when they were able to restart his heart using a defibrillator and massage. "It's extraordinary and some people are talking about a miracle," said Dr Alberto Zangrillo, the doctor who treated the boy in hospital. "I have to see this from the point of view of medical science, but I cannot explain it completely," he added. The boy, who is half German and has been named as Michael, jumped from a bridge into the canal with five friends on April 24, but remained trapped by an underwater obstacle after his friends surfaced. Fire service divers were able t
At least £2.5 billion a year could be saved on housing benefit if the government forced claimants to pay 10 per cent of their rent. A further £5 billion could be found if David Cameron scrapped child benefit for more than four million families earning over £30,000, the Institute for Fiscal Studies said yesterday. George Osborne has pledged to find £12 billion in welfare savings by 2017-18 but has identified only £1.5 billion so far. Setting out the scale of the task to find the missing £10 billion, the institute warned that millions of working families on low incomes were likely to see further big cuts in their benefits. Robert Joyce, a senior IFS economist, argued that the government's decision to protect the state pension and pensioner benefits — nearly half the £220 billion welfare bill — would result in the cuts falling disproportionately on wo

05.04.07 - Amir Khan has stated this week that he is ready for his British lightweight rivals and insisted that they need to fight him now. History making WBC World Youth Champion John Murray has accepted the boxing challenge. Boltons 2004 Olympic silver medallist has claimed ahead of only his 12th professional fight this weekend that he is ready to face the likes of British lightweight champion Jonathan Thaxton..
Murray, promoted by Mick Hennessy like Thaxton, has dismissed his claims as an insult. But the WBC Youth Champion is willing to give Khan the opportunity to back up his boast by facing him in his next boxing contest.
Murray, from Manchester, claims an all-Lancashire scrap with Khan would decide who the best young lightweight in Britain really is, without the hype.
Murray, 22, won the Boxing Writers Young Boxer of the Year Award for 2006, and is set to gain valuable experience and exposure by fighting on the undercard of the Oscar De La Hoya-Floyd Mayweather mega-fight in Las Vegas on May 5.
He has stopped half of his 20 victims inside the distance, has challenged fellow unbeaten prospect Khan, 20, to meet him for his WBC Youth World Title on the show in the capital of boxing and back up his claims that he is ready to face anyone in Britain.
Its a joke, an insult to established fighters proven at Championship level to start saying that you are ready for them and that they need to fight you before you move on to bigger things, said Murray.
Jon Thaxton has established himself as a British champion and has been in the game years, so its a bit big-mouthed to start calling him out before he has even fought some of the other top prospects coming through.
But I noticed he didnt mention my name in there and didnt offer me out. He knows of me and has seen me fight, but he doesnt say he wants to fight me because he knows out of everyone coming through Im the best.
He knows it would be too much of a risk fighting me. Were both from the northwest. It would be a massive fight there and for boxing in general in this country.
I have called you out before. I will defend against you no problem. We are both young and the same weight. Stop talking rubbish! Put up or shut up.
I was the first British fighter to win the WBC World Youth Title. Its a title designed for fighters who will go on to win full honours like Khan is saying he will do.
I've heard hes mad to fight in Vegas, so why not fight me on May 5th. I would mow him down inside the distance.
I would be up for defending against him on the show and it would be a big deal over there too. The Americans like me; I have fought over there and went down well. It would be great for both of us. He says hes ready to fight anyone in Britain. Well he needs to fight me now then, on potentially the biggest event of all time.

Nutty Cheese Bread
|30 Gram
|Lukewarm water
|2 Cup (32 tbs)
|6 Teaspoon
|1 Teaspoon
|Freshly ground black pepper
|1⁄2 Teaspoon
|Non fat dry milk
|1⁄2 Cup (8 tbs)
|Sifted flour
|6 1⁄2 Cup (104 tbs) (Plain Variety)
|45 Gram, softened
|1 Large, lightly beaten
|Grated sharp cheese
|1 Cup (16 tbs)
|Chopped walnuts/Chopped pecans
|1⁄2 Cup (8 tbs)
Dissolve the yeast in 1/4cup of the water with one teaspoon of the sugar. Mix the remaining sugar, salt, pepper, dry milk and 11/2cups of flour. Add the remaining 1% cups of water, the butter and egg. Add the dissolved yeast and mix until smooth. Add enough of the remaining flour to make moderately stiff dough. Turn out on to a floured board and knead until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl and grease the top surface of the dough. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place until double in bulk, about one hour. Turn out on to a lightly floured surface, press to flatten and cover with half the cheese and nuts. Knead in the cheese and nuts, repeat with remaining cheese and nuts. Shape into two loaves and place in two greased loaf pans. Grease the top surface of the loaves, cover and let rise until double in size, about 11/2 hours. Bake the loaves in a preheated 200C (400F) oven 15 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 180C (350F) and bake 35 minutes longer, or until the bread shrinks from the sides of the pan and is well browned.

Australia to create new border super agency: Minister
Published on May 9, 2014 3:36 PM
SYDNEY (AFP) - Australia on Friday announced a new frontline border protection agency merging operations from the customs and immigration departments to build on its success in stopping boatpeople and tackle the growing menace of transnational crime.
Immigration Minister Scott Morrison said the new Australian Border Force agency would be led by a high-powered civilian commissioner who would report directly to him and that it was based on models used by Britain and the United States.
Australia has adopted a hardline policy against asylum-seekers entering its waters on unauthorised boats, with its military-led Operation Sovereign Borders having prevented any new arrivals for more than four months.
Speaking ahead of the conservative government's first budget next week, Morrison said stopping the boats had created A$2.5 billion (S$2.9 billion) in savings, as he announced six more detention centres would be closed, in addition to four closures already announced.

Logan County senior Victoria Cates signed to play college volleyball and softball on Thursday with Lincoln Trail College.
Cates, who starred for the Lady Cougars on both the diamond and on the court, said she was glad to get the opportunity to play both sports in college because it would be too hard to pick just one.
"This has been a dream come true," she said. "I have always wanted to be able to play in college and now I am getting to chase that dream."
During her four years with the Lady Cougar volleyball program, Cates saw the team record a 117-38 record with one elite eight finish in the KHSAA state volleyball tournament (2013), one regional championship (2013), two regional runner-up finishes (2011 & 2010), and four district championships (2010-2013).
"We're all very excited for Victoria," Logan County volleyball coach Steven Lyne said "This all started when we started working with her as a fifth grader and this is the result of all that hard work."
In softball, Cates has helped Logan County see steady improvement over the past few seasons.
"When I took over as the softball coach three years ago, I realized pretty quick that she is one kids that is always going to lay it all out for us," softball coach Michael Crawford said. "She was always very good with the other girls and I couldn't ask for a better kid."
Cates said that she never would have been able to accomplish her goal of playing college athletics without a lot of support along the way.
"I really want to thank all my family and teammates and coaches for always having my back no matter what," Cates said.

If so, even if he tries to appeal and is denied, he could conceivably sign up for 4.5 adult, play one match and get thrashed (he would even have to throw it - he's not a 4.5 player...), and hope that the three adult matches override the mixed ratings and bump him back down to 4.0.
Great question and one I don't have the answer for nor have I seen folks speculate on the answer. So hopefully someone will in response to this!
My assumption has been that the 2 matches from last year don't count and he really starts this year with a new self-rating, i.e. no dynamic rating. But I could be wrong.
A similar question is, once you have a YE C rating, do you start the next year with that rating alone or does your history (past 3 dynamic ratings) carry over for averaging purposes to calculate your new rating? I've also assumed the history doesn't carry over but could be wrong here too.
Answers or educated guesses welcome.

An Evening with Deborah Miranda, author of Bad Indians

An Evening with Deborah Miranda, author of Bad Indians
Join us for an evening with author Deborah Miranda. Her book, Bad Indians, part tribal history, part lyric and intimate memoir. Deborah A. Miranda tells stories of her Ohlone Costanoan Esselen family as well as the experience of California Indians as a whole through oral histories, newspaper clippings, anthropological recordings, personal reflections, and poems. The result is a work of literary art that is wise, angry, and playful all at once, a compilation that will break your heart and teach you to see the world anew. Deborah A. Miranda is an enrolled member of the Ohlone Costanoan Esselen Nation of California, and is also of Chumash and Jewish ancestry. The author of two poetry collections—Indian Cartography, which won the Diane Decorah Award for First Book from the Native Writer's Circle of the Americas, and The Zen of La Llorona, nominated for the Lambda Literary Award—she also has a collection of essays, The Hidden Stories of Isabel Meadows and Other California Indian Lacunae, forthcoming from the University of Nebraska Press. Miranda is an associate professor of English at Washington and Lee University and says reading lists for her students include as many books by "bad Indians" as possible

Colonel looks at Pendleton 150 years ago
With the acquisition of the Ushmai pueblo land, Pio's and Andres' holdings ballooned to 133,000 acres and became known as Rancho Santa Margarita y Las Flores. They owned virtually all of present day Camp Pendleton and the Fallbrook Naval Weapons Station.
War between the United States and Mexico began in 1846. Andres served as a general with the Californios, while Governor Pio Pico, fearing that the invading Americans might execute him, fled to Baja California. After the war both swore allegiance to the United States, and resumed their lives as grandees in their new country. At one point Pio and Andres owned over 500,000 acres throughout California. Bad business decisions and accompanying legal fees caused Andres to sell his share of Rancho Santa Margarita y Las Flores to Pio in 1862 for a mere $1,000. Two years later Pio, burdened with his own debt from gambling and business losses, sold the entire ranch for $14,000 to a man known to his parents as John Forster, but to Californians as Don Juan Forster.
We will hear more about John, a.k.a. "Don Juan" Forster in our next story.

After lawyer Pallavi Purkayastha was murdered by her society watchman in Wadala in August, the role of security guards in the city is under severe scrutiny.
Security experts blame the loopholes in verification procedures and have asked the police commissioner and home department to have a consolidated data centre to verify their antecedents.
Security Association of India (SAI) president Gurcharan Singh Chauhan said 98% guards are innocent, poor people from a rural background without a criminal record, but one can't take a chance.
"Police verification is very important. The government should create a data centre so once a person gets enrolled as a security guard, his antecedents can be submitted online to the controlling authority and get verified by the police."
In a letter to home minister Sushilkumar Sinde and state home minister RR Patil in mid-October, SAI offered to sponsor the software/hardware of the centre where details such as photo, address, bio-metric fingerprints, etc can be submitted.
With only 21,000 guards employed with the Guard Board, the prevalence of 16 different controlling authorities for issuing licences in state also prevents the resolution of the problem of illegal agencies. Sources reveal that 400 agencies have no licences and 500 more have not even applied.
Operating without a licence can lead to a year's imprisonment.

This is a great recipe as is. But... The second time I made it, I used Muir Glen fire roasted diced tomatoes, I doubled the number of jalapeños (I seeded them to control heat). My partner and I liked it even better!
Needs more hot peppers. Lot more salt. Much more cowbell.
Honestly kind of lacking in depth. I roasted everything together as suggested in previous reviews, left skins on, and didn't even add the water, but the final product was just, well, blah. Jalapeños were flavorful enough and tomatoes were great. Throwing together canned diced tomatoes and fresh peppers of various sorts is actually easier and had more flavor. Will stick with my old recipe.
This recipe has a lot of flavor. I roasted the onions and garlic along with the tomatoes and jalapenos. I like it spicy so I had a few more jalapenos in it and did not add any water since my paste tomatoes had enough juice coming straight out of my garden. Now I need to can the salsa :)
This is a very tasty salsa, but too soupy for my taste. My husband liked it a lot, but I think the next time I will NOT include the juices from the tomatoes just the tomatoes themselves when I puree it for a chunkier texture.
Good flavor, but nothing extraordinary. I used tomatoes from the garden, de-seeded 2 of the 3 peppers and it was still very spicy - too spicy. The texture was way too watery, like soup almost. I didn't even add the water. Disappointed. I won't make it again.
As in previous reviews, I throw everything onto one baking sheet and place it 4 inches below the broiler. I also replace one of the jalapenos for a serrano, for an extra kick. It's important to use plum tomatoes--I tried this with romas and the texture was completely off.
I roast everything for this salsa, the tomatoes, peppers, onions, and garlic. I do it on my grill with some mesquite chips to give the ingredients a nice smokey flavor. A double batch lasts about a day and a half around my house. Absolutely fabulous!
this recipe is very good but instead of roasting the jalapenos, tomatoes,and onions,and garlic we grilled them. after that we followed the recipe egg-zactly! and when we got to the cilantro part we added some things. We added about 1/4 cup of fine chopped raw onion, 1/4 cup of fine chopped cucumber, 1/4 cup of fine chopped celery. And about a tsp. of lime juice and then we added 2 tsp. of lemon juice. After we added all of those things we added some pampered chef southwestern seasoning mix to give it spice. Stir that all together and it is DELICIOUS!!!
It was a hit. I used 3 jalapenos, which was a bit spicy for me, but my husband loved it. He and a friend devoured it in one sitting.

Input and fuel costs have spiralled in the last one year resulting in higher cost of products
For the next couple of months from now, it is festival season and time for consumers to get busy with shopping.
Though it will be expensive, retailers feel that shopping will not be hit.
Retailers say the season in Coimbatore begins with Vinayaka Chathurthi and covers Onam, Navarathri and Deepavali.
From vegetables to textiles, prices are up because of several reasons. Input and fuel costs have spiralled in the last one year resulting in the higher cost of the products.
Fluctuation in currency value during the last few weeks has led to higher cost of accessory goods (which are imported).
According to Coimbatore Cloth Merchants' Association, which represents the stand-alone textile outlets in the city, cotton textile products are costlier by 25 per cent compared to last year. In the case of synthetic items, the rates are up by five per cent.
Usually, good rain boosts the rural economy and this reflects in festival purchases. Sale of textile goods in the Aadi season was good this year.
The trend is expected to continue for the next two months, says a representative of the association.
India imports huge quantities of raw silk and in the last one year, the cost of imported raw silk has shot up by 80 per cent. However, the entire hike cannot be passed on to the consumers.
The retailers are offering trendy and light weight silk saris.
It is not just the raw material but the cost of value addition, such as printing, that has gone up. Crepe saris that used to cost Rs. 2,600 each last year is now Rs. 3,800. In the case of pure silk with zari, customers will be selective, says a leading silk retailer.
In the case of vegetables, prices have shot up mainly because of higher fuel costs. Transporting vegetables from other States has increased the rates for almost all the vegetables.
Apart from onions, the price of ginger, cabbage, pumpkin, carrot, beans and drumstick are up.
M. Rajendran, president of the Thyagi Kumaran Market Vegetable Merchants' Association, says that deficient rainfall last year has increased the prices of vegetables. Good rain this year will give better yield.
But, the new arrivals will start only after a month or so. Till then, prices will remain high. But another main reason for higher rates is the hike in fuel and labour costs.
The higher prices are not likely to affect purchases as consumers usually buy more during festivals, he says.
Good rain this year has raised hopes of better harvest of rice and other grains and pulses.
Hence, those who have stocks of these are bringing it to the market. The wholesale price of rice declined slightly last month. Sugar prices have not changed much.
However, ghee is 60 per cent to 70 per cent higher and oil is nearly 25 per cent higher, says C. R. Baskaran, secretary of Coimbatore Maligai Merchants' Association.
Though it may not have much impact on cost of savouries, it is likely to have an impact of sweet varieties. Such high ghee prices are unheard of.
It may affect consumption and gifting trends in the festival season, says a major retailer here.
