A few weeks ago I purchased blood oranges. They aren't all that common here in Minnesota, so I wanted to take advantage of the rare sighting. Then came the process of determining what I was going to make with them. Eventually, I settled on blood orange and chocolate chip muffins with a citrus glaze, but […]

The Netherlands Antilles and Aruba are autonomous parts of The Kingdom of the Netherlands, and include the islands of Bonaire, Curacao, Saba, St. Eustatius (also known as Statia) and Sint Maarten (Dutch side). While Sint Maarten, Saba and St. Eustatius lie in the path of hurricanes, Curacao, Bonaire and Aruba have historically been out of the hurricane belt.
U.S. citizens must present either a U.S. passport or a certified U.S. birth certificate accompanied by a valid photo identification. While a U.S. passport is not mandatory, it is recommended since it is more readily recognized as a form of positive identification. Tourists may be asked to show onward or return tickets or proof of sufficient funds for their stay. Length of stay is granted for two weeks and may be extended for 90 days by the Head Office of Immigration. For further information travelers can contact The Royal Netherlands Embassy, 4200 Linnean Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20008, telephone (202) 244-5300 or the Dutch consulate in Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, or Houston. Internet: http://www.netherlands-embassy.org.
Petty street crime continues to rise. Valuables left unattended on beaches and in cars are easy targets for theft. Burglary and break-ins are increasingly common at resorts and beach houses. Armed robbery occasionally occurs.
Car theft, including that of rental vehicles for joyriding and stripping, occurs frequently. Vehicle leases or rentals may not be fully covered by local insurance when a vehicle is stolen. In general, jet skis and vehicles should be used with caution. Renters should note the insurance underwriter and the amount of deductible in case of accident or theft.
The loss or theft abroad of a U.S. passport should be reported immediately to the local police and the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate. A birth certificate and/or driver's license generally cannot be replaced outside the United States. U.S. citizens can refer to the Department of State's pamphlet, A Safe Trip Abroad for ways to promote a more trouble-free journey. This publication and others, such as Tips for Travelers to the Caribbean, are available from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402, via the Internet at http://www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs, or via the Bureau of Consular Affairs home page at http://travel.state.gov.
Medical care is generally good in Aruba, Curacao, and Sint Maarten, but may be limited on the other three islands. Serious medical problems requiring hospitalization and/or medical evacuation to the U.S. can cost thousands of dollars or more. Doctors and hospitals often expect immediate cash payment for health services, and U.S. medical insurance is not always valid outside the U.S. U.S. Medicare and Medicaid programs do not provide payment for medical services outside the U.S.
Uninsured travelers who require medical care overseas may face extreme difficulties. Please check with your own insurance company to confirm whether your policy applies overseas, including provision for medical evacuation. Please ascertain whether payment will be made to the overseas hospital or doctor or whether you will be reimbursed later for expenses that you incur. Some insurance policies also include coverage for psychiatric treatment and for disposition of remains in the event of death. Useful information on medical emergencies abroad, including overseas insurance programs, is provided in the Department of State's Bureau of Consular Affairs brochure Medical Information for Americans Traveling Abroad, available via the Bureau of Consular Affairs home page or autofax: (202) 647-3000.
While in a foreign country, U.S. citizens may encounter road conditions that differ significantly from those in the U.S. The information below concerning the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba is provided for general reference only, and may not be totally accurate in a particular location or circumstance.
Safety of Public Transportation: Good
Urban Road Conditions/Maintenance: Good
Rural Road Conditions/Maintenance: Fair
Availability of Roadside Assistance: Good
Major road hazards specific to the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba are hidden and poorly maintained street signs, disoriented drivers not familiar with where they are going, and goats wandering onto roadways. Carnival time (February) attracts many sudden celebrations which can congest main artery roadways around the islands. Alcohol consumption is also high during this time, and locals are not as aware of the affects of driving under the influence as people are in the United States. In the more rural sections of the island, some roads are not paved. Drivers should be aware of whether their cars are reliable on these bumpy, steep roads, (i.e. 4-wheel drive, spare tire). Goats and other animals can normally be found on these roads. Drivers should be alert at all times that an animal can unexpectedly jump into the path of the car. Night driving is neither good nor bad in the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba as long as drivers are familiar with the streets. Most main streets are properly lit, but smaller side streets may not be. Taxis are the easiest yet most expensive form of transportation on the islands. There are no meters, and passengers should be sure to negotiate the price before entering the taxi. Vans are inexpensive (less than $1) per trip, and they run nonstop during the daytime with no time schedule. Each van has a specific route that is displayed in the front windshield of the van. Buses run on the hour and have a limited amount of routes. Most buses came from Europe and have small windows with no air-conditioning.
For specific information concerning Netherlands Antilles and Aruba driver's permits, vehicle inspection, road tax and mandatory insurance, please contact the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba National Tourist Organization offices in New York via the Internet.
While in a foreign country, a U.S. citizen is subject to that country's laws and regulations, which sometimes differ significantly from those in the U.S. and may not afford the protections available to the individual under U.S. law. Penalties for breaking the law can be more severe than in the U.S. for similar offenses. Persons violating Netherlands Antilles and Aruba laws, even unknowingly, may be expelled, arrested or imprisoned. Penalties for possession, use, or trafficking in illegal drugs in the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba are strict and convicted offenders can expect jail sentences and heavy fines.
For information on international adoption of children, international parental child abduction, and international child support enforcement issues, please refer to our Internet site at http://travel.state.gov/children's_issues.html or telephone (202) 736-7000.
U.S. citizens living in or visiting the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba are encouraged to register at the U.S. Consulate General in Curacao and obtain updated information on travel and security in the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba. The U.S. Consulate General is located at J.B. Gorsiraweg #1, Willemstad, Curacao; telephone (599-9) 461-3066; fax (599-9) 461-6489; e-mail address: email@example.com.

No fluff - just the best news in paid search marketing every week.
Google May Be Forced To Pay $1 Billion To Patent Troll
A New York-based "patent troll" called Vringo, through its subsidiary I/P engine, successfully sued Google, Microsoft, AOL and others using two patents related to search advertising. The plaintiff won approximately $30 million at trial in 2012.
Google was asked to pay $15.8 million of that amount. Yet plaintiffs were also seeking ongoing royalties, which the court has now awarded. Google was contesting the royalty and the company will likely now appeal the calculation, which is potentially massive.
The math is confusing. However, as Ars Technia reports, the royalty amounts to just over 1.35 percent of US AdWords revenue, between 2012 to 2016 when the patents in question (6,314,420 and 6,775,664) will expire. In the court's order (embedded below) the royalty figure is presented as 6.5 percent. But it's 6.5 percent of 20.9 percent "royalty base" apparently.
Doing some simple math, Google could be compelled to pay between $800 million and $1 billion for the four-year period based on the approved royalty formula. Vringo's attorneys originally wanted nearly $700 million in damages from the defendants collectively. They will obtain more than that from Google alone if the royalty determination stands.
The "420" and "664" patents involved the ranking and placement of ads in search results. They were filed in 1996 and owned for a considerable length of time by Lycos, which later sold them to Vringo.
Be a part of the world's largest search marketing conference, Search Engine Land's SMX East. The robust agenda covers the latest tactics in paid search, SEO, mobile, analytics and more. Register today and save $300, or come as a team and save 10%-20%.

Vale Jack Cambourn
The recent passing of Jack Cambourn, former National and New South Wales Secretary of the FEDFA was marked by a memorial service at the New South Wales Trades and Labour Council this week.
Jack, one of the luminaries of the Australian union movement and an architect of the
CFMEU was born in Balmain and spent his life struggling for the advancement of the

Coalition could be wiped out by China Free Trade Agreement, new poll reveals
Research conducted in seven marginal electorates in NSW, QLD, Victoria and South Australia has found that the overwhelming majority of voters do not support the China Australia Free Trade Agreement when they become aware of three elements of the deal.
The research was commissioned by the Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union. The Agreement, which was signed on Wednesday, allows:
Landry needs to get her facts straight on China Free Trade Agreement
The CFMEU today hit back at claims by Capricornia MP Michelle Landry that the CFMEU was lying about the potential impact of the China Free Trade Agreement.
"Given that Queensland's unemployment rate is the highest in the country and that the youth unemployment rate is as high as 20% in some regional areas you would think that Ms Landry would do her homework," the CFMEU National Secretary Michael O'Connor commented.

I really like the remastering of this album, all the different instruments are very clear. I hope the Allman Brothers will get a touch up like this.
Album Rating: 4.5Great review man. Blues is definitely overlooked on this site, especially Albert King. I mean, his discography is bare! I just added The Big Blues, his first album. If nobody does a review of it soon, I might have to myself, just as soon as I can polish off another Chicago review or two.
Album Rating: 4.0^Nice, go for it man! The blues need more love on here.
Digging: Wizard - Bound by metal
Album Rating: 4.5Couldn't agree more, much more love.
Digging: Pink Floyd - Pulse

Here is the free report you requested! "The 7 Biggest Mistakes Business Owners Make When Hiring A Web Designer And How To Avoid Them!" *********************************** It is very, very rare for a professional web designer to write this kind of report. Many other web designers do NOT want you to know this information. Please take the time to read it carefully. In fact, if you are – as I hope – very interested in making sure your company's website is successful, then I urge you to get comfortable, ask not to be disturbed, and STUDY this report – it IS that important! It reveals vital information that you NEED to know! *********************************** Dear Friend, It is shocking but true. Every day, businesses hire web designers that they should not be hiring. Web designers often oversell their ability, charge you a LOT more than they should and end up turning what should be your online shop window into an embarrassment and put your reputation on the line by producing sub-standard websites. Commissioning your website is a DIFFICULT and STRESSFUL job. There are so many details that must be attended to. But here is the undeniable truth: THE OVERALL SUCCESS OF YOUR BUSINESS WEBSITE HINGES ON YOU HIRING THE RIGHT WEB DESIGNER I realise that you might not believe that right now but think about it for a minute. When was the last time you dismissed a company out of hand because of its website. Not to mention the companies you didn't find at all on Google that missed out on a chance of your business. The Web Designer is the "Key" to a successful business website. But here's the problem …. (Please go to the next page and continue reading … ) Hire the wrong person and your website will be a flop. Hire someone who does not understand marketing principles and your website will not appeal to your visitors. Hire someone with no experience of online marketing and no-one will visit your site and your investment will have been wasted. This report is going to give you the inside-scoop on what some web designers and web design agencies do to unsuspecting business owners. You'll be armed with the knowledge you need so you won't be "taken in" by these people. In just a minute, I am going to reveal what the 7 biggest Mistakes are and how you can avoid them, but first let me answer a couple of questions that are probably on your mind. Who Are You And Why Are You Revealing This Information? My name is Rob Wilson and I'm a web designer and online marketer. For the past 18 years I was a board level IT Director whose focus was online product development and marketing. In the last five years I have created award winning web- based programs and websites used by companies such as GSK, BUPA and Lloyds TSB. I now work with small and medium size businesses to bring them the same skills that were previously only available to larger companies. I'm revealing information that the web design and development industry does not want you to know for three main reasons: REASON #1: If you end up hiring a lousy web designer or online marketing company, this closes the field not only to me but other competent professionals. Odds are, if the person you hire stinks, you'll be very reluctant to hire a new professional in the future and will be missing a great opportunity. REASON #2: I HATE to see bad web designers rip people off and make all web designers look bad. It puts a black eye on my profession. REASON #3: You can be given an inadequate and poorly performing website without you even knowing it for years. I frequently have to fix others mistakes and often the site owner does not even know the problems were there since they paid for the "completed" site. Okay, now that you know who I am and why I am doing this, let's talk about the 7 Biggest Mistakes Business Owners Make When Hiring A Web Designer And How To Avoid Them! BIG MISTAKE #1 Assuming That Big Is Better Many Business Owners assume that larger web design companies and agencies are going to provide a better service than smaller company. The main benefit of a smaller company is the personal service you should be able to get. With larger design companies your dealings are often with a salesman who "hands over" the business to the designer and then loses interest in your business. Whatever the size of the business you choose, you need to be offered a personal service with a main contact who is interested in your business. (Please go to the next page and continue reading … ) BIG MISTAKE #2 Assuming All Web Designers Are Equal Did you know there are different types of web designer based on their background and experience? Each has their pros and cons – you need to be aware of the differences. Firstly, the print designer who also creates web designs. Print Designers are used to laying out words and pictures and getting them to work well together. The downside is that a web page is not the same as a fixed piece of paper and the ability to control the design is not as good as in print. One of the main mistakes print designers make is use too many graphics. For example the headings on the page are often created as graphics, rather than the text that makes up the heading. While this looks nice – the graphic is not readable by a search engine which is trying to work out what your site is about. Next, the programmer who creates web designs. Programmers have a unique way of thinking. They are interest in logic and how to do clever things on a website. They are able to create websites that interact well with customers and provide a lot of interesting features. However programmers typically have not learnt about laying out designs correctly or essentials like which colours go well together or which colours appeal to different target audiences. Then, the Flash Developer who creates website built in Macromedia Flash. Flash is a wonderful product for producing websites for companies like Coca Cola, Nike etc for those who image is all important. Sites that sing and dance as you visit them are normally Flash Websites. The main problem with Flash Designers is they can get caught up in the technology and create sites that are great looking but not very user friendly. For example, with most Flash website you can not send a prospect to a particular page only the home page. The other big problem with Flash websites is they are not understood properly by search engines like Google. There are ways to create Flash websites to be more user and search engine friendly but this is often not an option you will be given. Finally, the Web Designer who learnt to be a Web Designer. They often create lovely looking website but may not always offer you a search engine friendly design as this takes more time and is not so much fun to do. All of these Web Designer types are often missing a vital piece of training. They have no knowledge of marketing a business online beyond creating a website. They may not understand the consequence of their design on getting visitors to your site to take the actions you require of them. So you might end up with a website that looks great but has no visitors or those that visit the site leave very quickly. (Please go to the next page and continue reading … ) BIG MISTAKE #3 Basing Decisions On Price Wow! This is a biggie. Of course, price is a factor when hiring a website designer. If you only have a £200 budget you are not going to be able to hire the best designer in the country to create your business website. However many business owners place too much emphasis on price and not enough emphasis on the overall impact that a great website designer can make on your website. Is the highest priced website designer always the best? Absolutely not! In fact, in one marketing course for website designers, the author tells his readers to raise their fees because a lot of business owners equate the value of the designer with how much they charge. He says it is all "perception". Well, it certainly won't be just "perception", if you hire someone who charges you thousands of pounds for a web site that is, in reality, only worth a few hundred pounds and does not serve your business well. On the other hand, hiring the least expensive web designer is not always the way to go either. Simply put, everyone needs to make a reasonable profit. If the price is too low then corners are going to cut corners to reduce the work needed and the quality will suffer. What is even worse, you may not even know that corners have been cut. It might not be obvious to you; the website might look great but not perform right for you. An example of cutting corners might include using a "slicing" program to automatically take a graphical design and slice it into pieces to create a web page. The site will look nice but the search engines will not be able to read any of the content and will not be able to place your site in their search result lists. So you will not get any visitors from the most powerful free advertising site in the world. Another way to cut corners is not checking the design on different versions of Internet Explorer or other similar programs that might be used to view your website. This is a little technical but each version of Internet Explorer can display your website differently and in some cases completely illegibly. A significant amount of time needs to be invested to make sure the vast majority of your website visitors see the same site that you see when you test the site. Unfortunately it might look fine to you but not to your potential customers. You need to base your decision on the website designer who will best fulfil your needs and help you achieve your desired business outcomes. One way you can know whether a web designer is going to meet your needs is by whether he or she asks you what your needs are and what outcomes you want to achieve with your website. When you call them, do they just tell you how great their websites are without finding out what you want and need? How would you feel if you went to a doctor because you weren't feeling well and the doctor instantly prescribed some medicine without first finding out what was wrong with you? It's the same with web designers. They should find out what you want and need first and see if they have an idea for the design and online marketing that would help you fulfil those needs BEWARE! Many web designers are so desperate for work, that they will say anything to get hired. They will tell you they do things they don't, won't or can't. Bottom Line: Decide what your budget range is, check out a number of designers in that budget range and choose the best person regardless of price. BIG MISTAKE #4 Building A Web Site And Expecting Visitors To Just Arrive Many business owners assume that you build a website and people just find it, visit it and give you business. It all seems so easy for other websites, you find them on Google, visit and purchase. Unfortunately getting your website listed in Google does not happen automatically and getting a well place listing on Google requires work. Unfortunately, many website designers have no experience of marketing a website online. They can create website but they don't know what to do next to get visitors. This creates two problems. Firstly they do not design website with the next steps in mind. This means that your website might even need reworking to get it to be ready for search engines to find and add to their list. Secondly, your expectations of a successful website are raised and you use your entire budget to get a website live but have no money left to do the work involved in getting people to come. You need to plan for the next step of bring in visitors and use a web designer who understands this. BIG MISTAKE #5 Assuming All Web Sites Are Equal Most business owners assume that a website is a website. If it looks right then it must be right. As we mentioned before there is a lot under the bonnet of a website that is not easily seen and understood that affects how well your website performs for you. To help lift the lid on your website and get past the visual appearance, I created a website www.websitexray.com where you can have some aspects of the construction explained in layman's terms. This website lists the issues with your selected website in traffic light colours. Red marks out items that need urgent attention, amber being things to investigate further and green being information or good points. It is worth testing any prospective web designer's portfolio with this tool to see how well they do. The main invisible issue is how "Search Engine Friendly" the website is. This refers to how easy it is for Google and the other search engines to understand the content of your website and add it to their databases. One thing that can go wrong is that the text you supply to your designer for the site might be broken up with programming code. So the paragraphs are no longer all together, the paragraphs might read like paragraphs on screen. However to a search engine the paragraphs become a puzzle that might not get put back together in the right way! (Please go to the next page and continue reading … ) BIG MISTAKE #6 Depending On The Web Designer To Make All The Future Changes The automatic assumption by business owners is that the web designer will make all future changes. It is often the assumption by web designers too; especially as it keeps the revenue flowing from client. It is worth considering how important it is to for you to be responsive to your online market. For example, should you have the ability to add new offers to your website daily or to change immediately a phrase on the website that a customer misunderstood on your website? I often hear about web designer taking months to do a simple change like correcting a spelling mistake. Instead of having to depend on your website designer you can have a website created that allows you to make some or all the amendments instantly. The amount you can change will depend on your skill level but websites can offer different systems to match your level and your need to make changes. Don't get stuck depending on your website designer. BIG MISTAKE #7 Not Getting A Money Back Guarantee This is soooooo important especially in today's day and age when anybody can download a piece of free web design software and call themselves a web designer. In most case you can avoid a lot of trouble by insisting on a 100% money back guarantee if you are not satisfied. This is the ultimate test as to whether someone really believes in what they are offering or if they are just full of hot air. If a website designer really believes in the quality of their work they shouldn't hesitate to guarantee it. Bottom Line: Some website designers will argue that people will take advantage of them if they offer a guarantee. This is a load of rubbish. In the years that I have offered a guarantee and over all the many websites I have created, no one has EVER requested their money back. In fact most of my clients refer me to other businesses. If the web designer you're considering for your website won't back up their work with a guarantee … WATCH OUT! (Please go to the next page and continue reading … ) **************************** Well, there you have it. Obviously, if you're a seasoned business owner who has already purchased websites before you may have already known some of the secrets revealed in this report. But I hope you found a few gems that you can use to ensure that your next website turns out to be exactly what you want it to be, to get more leads, more customers and more sales!

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

So, I when to a hearing and they showed me video which clearly doesnt show me taking anything, but now are asking for bank statement to show where items where purchased that I sold on ebay. I feel that they are fishing still the video shows nothing.. where do I sand... and the kicker is that the public safety office involved in this is a ex police officer that serverd warrents at a house that I was at 18 years old.
Employment / Labor Attorney
I am more concerned about potential criminal charges against you than you losing your job so I am reposting your matter so that criminal lawyers can review it. In my opinion, and I am not a criminal lawyer, nor am I licensed to practice in your state, I would not go to any more meetings without a criminal lawyer. Your company has lawyers representing them, and they are way more powerful than you are in this situation. I would refuse to discuss this matter with anyone except counsel. Good luck.
DUI / DWI Attorney
Your employer already seems to have decided on your guilt or innocence and is now looking for a way to build a case against you. If you are the subject of a criminal investigation any statements you make can be used in court against you. While you may think you are helping your case by explaining things, any statements you give will likely be skewed to support your employer's theory of your guilt. Your best course of action would be to quit cooperating with their investigation altogether.
Criminal Defense Attorney
As far as any criminal case is concerned: Stop talking. Statements you make to your employer can be given to the police and used against you in a criminal investigation and in trial against you.
As far as an employment matter is concerned, that's hard to say. Normally, Oregon is an "at will" state. Either employee or employer can end the relationship at any time. That you have a hearing and continued to get paid while on leave indicates that something else is going on. Is this a union job with a particular agreement in effect? What are the terms of that agreement? Without that information, it's hard to say.
Please note that the matter discussed above is not intended to constitute legal advice and no attorney-client relationship is formed. Questioners who post questions are advised to not discuss their matter in public on the internet and that doing so may waive attorney-client confidentiality that they would otherwise have.

'Gentle giant' who camped outside ex-girlfriend's home in bid to win her back died following a heavy drinking session
- Nicholas Harrison-Longmate, 36, was found dead outside his ex-partner's home in Reading
- When she refused to take his calls, he followed her and slept outside her flat
- Prior to his death he had consumed a one-litre bottle of vodka
- Family paid tribute to 'thoughtful and gentle man'
Tragedy: Nicholas Harrison-Longmate, 36, was found dead outside his ex-partner's home after drinking a bottle of vodka
A man found dead outside his ex-partner's home has been camping in the block of flats for weeks in a desperate bid to win her back.
Nicholas Harrison-Longmate had inundated former partner Kerry Buchanan with poems, letters, phone calls and text messages after she called time on their five-year romance.
When she refused to give in to his attempts to win her back, he began following her around and took to sleeping outside Ms Buchanans flat.
He spent nearly a month living there, sometimes on her neighbour's balcony or in the corridor of the block of flats, a coroner in Reading, Berkshire said.
The 36-year-old's campaign ended tragically when he was found outside her Reading home following a heavy drinking session.
Mr Harrison-Longmate has been following Ms Buchanan as she shopped at her local Tesco supermarket and was regularly spotted drinking beer and bottles of vodka as he lurked around her block of flats in the weeks prior to his death.
The 6ft 4in Manchester United fan was described by his family as 'a gentle giant' who was simply 'trying to rekindle a lost love.'
The inquest into his death was told that Mr Harrison-Longmate had drunk excessively after the relationship ended and had downed a one litre bottle of vodka on the day of his death this summer.
He sent a series of alarming text messages to Ms Buchanan where he indicated that he wished to take his own life, some of which were read out during the inquest on Tuesday.
One response sent by Kerry a month before his death, read: 'I'm sorry but it's over. Please let me get on with my life.'
Mr Harrison-Longmate was found outside his former girlfriend's home in Reading, Berkshire on July 29 this year. Paramedics were called but he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Detective James Faulkner of Thames Valley Police, confirmed there were no suspicious circumstances surrounding the death.
Recording a verdict of misadventure, Mr Bedford said he could not be sure Mr Harrison-Longmate intended to take his own life using alcohol, but noted the 'tragic circumstances'.
Mr Harrison-Longmate's family was present at the inquest with his mother Susan, 56, releasing a family statement which described him as a thoughtful man with a big heart.
'Nick never meant any harm to anyone. He was a gentle sort, with a huge grin and abundant generosity of heart and assets.
'A big heart, kind, thoughtful, loving son, brother and grandson.'
Broken heart: Mr Harrison-Longmate was desperate to win his ex-girlfriend back and after trying to contact her through letters and phone calls he began following her and sleeping outside her Reading home
The statement read: 'He never settled in one place for long, either moved job or house, never settling until he met his last girlfriend.
'He died trying to re-kindle a lost love. He had become besotted with his ex-girlfriend and wanted to marry and start a family.
'Sadly, this never happened and he leaves a heartbroken family to struggle with this tragic loss. We knew he found happiness, until recently and now hope he has found peace.
''He was a gentle sort who died trying to re-kindle a lost love'
- Family statement
'Nick's long term girlfriend ended their relationship of five years a short while before his death.
'He felt utterly betrayed and couldn't understand, nor accept, this had happened.
'He never came to terms with this rejection and quickly spiralled downhill to the point where he just sat outside her flat.
'He did just that on Sunday, 29 July 2012, complete with vodka and energy drinks - and that is where he died.
'I do not think he set out to end his life that day. His rucksack contained a clean change of clothes, a few snacks and his deodorant and toothbrush.
'I just think it all became just too much to bear that day.'
A post-mortem examination concluded Mr Harrison-Longmate died from 'acute alcohol toxicity.'
The inquest was told his liver showed a history of chronic alcoholism, and the toxicity levels in his blood showed 352mg per 100ml of blood - more than four times the drink drive limit.
The report concluded that the results show that Mr Harrison-Longmate consumed a very large amount of alcohol prior to his death, adding that more than 300mg could cause loss of consciousness or coma and up to 400mg is lethal.

text: Europe Europe Samantha Stainburn on May 23, 2013 @ 12:33 PMMay 23, 2013 @ 12:33 PM PublishedSweden: riots continue for 4th dayStockholm, Sweden.Neighborhood watch groups started patrolling the streets in some suburbs of Stockholm on Wednesday night as police failed to control rioting by young people in Husby, Jakobsberg, Hagsatra, Skarholmenset and other neighborhoods for a fourth day.Cars were burned in at least 15 suburbs and a police station was set on fire on Wednesday, the Wall Street Journal reported. In one neighborhood, rioters threw rocks at firefighters arriving to put out a fire that was set at a restaurant.Police said at least 90 fires broke out during Wednesday night.Hundreds of young people have set fires, damaged buildings and thrown rocks at police in Stockholm's immigrant neighborhoods since Sunday to protest the shooting death of a 69-year-old mentally ill man in Husby, USA Today reported. Swedish officials said he attacked police with a machete as they tried to search his house.Ten people have been arrested so far.More from GlobalPost: Stockholm riots rage for 3rd day after police shooting The suburbs where the rioting is taking place are populated by immigrants from Iraq, Iran, Turkey and Somalia and have high unemployment. Many suspect the real reason for the riots is frustration with a perceived lack of opportunities for immigrants in Sweden."In segregated areas, many are disappointed about their future prospects," Eva Andersson, co-author of Segregation and Urban Unrest in Sweden, a new study by the universities of Stockholm and Uppsala, told USA Today. "You don't perceive the society as supportive, rather the opposite."Many immigrants who live in the surburbs are appalled by the youth uprising."It's idiotic – they're ruining things for the people that live here," Lebanon-born Husby resident Marianne Farede told the Swedish news websiteThe Local, according to USA Today. "We're the ones that suffer. It's our cars that are getting burned; it's our money."More from GlobalPost: Sweden's lessons on inequality

Today we launch our campaign "It's my nature" (#itsmynature). We have chosen this motto for a million reasons.
Here are just three:
Europe and Central Asia
The Nature Directives work when they are put to good use. Here's the proof...
Seabirds can't help but pursue fishing boats, with their bait and the promise of a tasty and easily caught meal. But they often get too close, accidentally getting hooked or entangled in fishing gear, and then helplessly drown.
Europe and Central Asia
An off limit beach isn't there to offend it's a special place that has been set aside for the conservation of some animal, plant, or habitat.
We need to keep a more careful eye on the 'Critically Endangered' Balearic Shearwater or else we might notice too late that it's gone forever…
Europe and Central Asia
Invasive rats and cats eating seabird eggs and chicks, accidental entanglement in fish gear, exotic plants changing island ecology…just some of the things SPEA (BirdLife Portugal) has been battling to try and save seabirds.
Europe and Central Asia
Even if an island is not inhabited anymore, the legacy of negative human impact on an environment requires real determination and effort to fix and restore.
French Polynesia
Invasive Alien Species
Newly industrialized nations are catching-up to 'western' standards: more money, more cars, more everything. With it comes a growing demand for cement and building materials, so BirdLife / HeidelbergCement have ventured into new partnership grounds...
Europe and Central Asia
It's not targets, graphs or indicators which are at play, but bees, birds and ecosystems. Luxembourg Presidency, this is your chance to set the stage for economic yet sustainable prosperity in Europe.
In Burundi, the Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund supported capacity-building activities with communities near Kibira National Park, an Important Bird Area and Eastern Afromontane Key Biodiversity Area, to improve agricultural practices and preserve wood resources – and ultimately to reduce the pressure on the Park.
Important Bird and Biodiversity Areas (IBA) - Africa
Seabirds across Europe are in trouble and lines on maps will not bring them back alone. But effective management of protected areas can give them a fighting chance to claw, peck and soar their way back up the slippery slope…away from extinction.
Europe and Central Asia
Seabirds and Marine - Europe and Central Asia
"The ocean is my marine library", were the wise words of a young Seychellois boy who read out a poem he'd written for the Opening Ceremony, the just concluded 8th Conference of the Parties (COP 8) of the Nairobi Convention with the theme "Conserving the Marine and Coastal Environment for the Western Indian Ocean for the next 30 Years". Seychelles' hosting the COP 8 meeting three decades after the Convention was adopted on its soil was an unprecedented coincidence.

The case for Palmeiro for the Hall of Fame is compelling, but to many voters, the case against him is just as strong. As clear as his numbers are worthy of Cooperstown, this is equally clear: There is no way he is making it into the Hall of Fame in his first year eligible, and likely he will have a difficult time making it in the maximum 15 years on the ballot. Mark McGwire was the first test case of a player who had connections to performance-enhancing drugs, and he has not received 24 percent of the vote (75 percent is needed for induction) in any of his four years on the ballot. Palmeiro has better numbers than McGwire in some categories, but, chances are, he will get a similar vote total to that of McGwire.

Ichiro has established a number of batting records, including the sport's single-season record for hits with 262.

Ichiro is the first MLB player to enter the Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame (The Golden Players Club).

Restaurants in Spain
Whether you're looking for light tapas, hearty seafood Paella or a gourmet dining experiences in the Basque country, you can find restaurants in Spain to cater to your culinary needs.
Spain's most popular dining category is tapas, which are typically small servings of cured meats, olives and cheeses, grilled squid or meatballs. There are regional variations of tapas, for example pintxos are small plates served in the north. You will find some of the best tapas restaurants in Spain in Madrid, San Sebastian and Seville.
Other Spain restaurants to try include asadores, which specialize in grilled meats and marisquerías, which serve fish and seafood.
Some of the best restaurants in Spain are now some of the best restaurants, with the now closed el Bullí putting Spain on the map as a culinary destination. It is possible to find great food all over the country, but Valencia, Barcelona, San Sebastian, Andalucía and Seville are among the best cities in Spain for a foodie holiday.
Located on a quiet side street just north of the Teatro Real (Royal Theatre), this family-owned tavern is renowned for its signature cocido madrileño (Madrilenian stew), a house specialty since the restaurant opened in 1870.
The world's oldest operating restaurant, founded in 1725, Restaurante Botín still roasts suckling pig and lamb in the original oak-fired, cast-iron oven.
Most Barcelona bars shut down on Sunday nights—which is why Alta Taberna Paco Meralgo is so indispensable. Plus, Paco serves Barcelona's greatest tomato bread: a flat, split, porous roll grilled to a perfect crunch and slathered with pink, frothy tomato pulp.
Dinner for two $91.
Akin to (but a bit more polished than) the Sbarro chain found in many American airports, this cafeteria-style eatery serves up Italian fast-food staples: pizza by the slice with a variety of toppings, red-sauce pastas like lasagna and baked ziti. Grab and go or sit and stay—it's your choice.
Join the businessmen and fishermen for lunch or an apertivo at this wonderfully airy spot known for its tortillas (Spanish-style omelets) and montaditos—little toasts topped with an array of delicacies, like tender sardines.
The tortilla, the seafood noodles, and the dreamy crushed-potato salad drenched in olive oil are better than ever. Since the owner's son took over and moved the bar here, the place has snapped into focus.
