I'm easygoing, healthy, honest, sincere, sarcastic, funny, competitive....rational;) I enjoy physical activities, sporting events.. especially outdoor baseball, the outdoors, the horsetrack, and learning how to golf. I've accomplished 3 sprint Tri's, and will do a few 5ks and possibly a 10k. Thats a lie.. I'm never going to run a 10k:) I like to travel but would rather have someone to share the experience with. I'm very much an optimist and prefer to be around like minded people. I've been very fortunate to have a strong family and great friends. I'm happy with my life and I'm ready to find someone to share my time with and enjoy life! Family and friends will always come first. My perfect match would be honest, funny, loyal, optimistic, somewhat athletic, easygoing, and somewhat competitive wouldn't be bad. Someone who I can communicate easily with is ideal! She would enjoy the simple things in life. I don't worry about the small stuff as life is to short. I fully intend spending every second enjoying myself. My match needs to be able to laugh at, and with, me... and herself. I try to have fun all the time! I'm here looking for someone to experience new things, travel with, learn from, laugh with, smile at, and get to know. Most of all I just want to find someone I enjoy spending my time with.

Numbers and financial data drives today's business world and Excel 2007: Financial Analysis can help decode this information. The proper understanding of these numbers, and the formulas behind them, can be the gateway to corporate and personal success. Microsoft MVP (Most Valuable Professional) Curt Frye teaches basic fluency in corporate finance, enabling users to see the meaning behind essential financial calculations. Curt explains how to review formulas to ensure they have the proper inputs, and shows how to interpret formula output. He also covers how to calculate leverage ratios and amortization and depreciation schedules, as well as forecast future growth. Exercise files accompany this course.
Every financial specialty has its own vocabulary and bonds are no exception. This lesson introduces some of the terms used when evaluating bond investments. A bond is a debt instrument issued for a period of more than one year that an institution uses to raise debt by borrowing. The length of time the borrower has to use of the money is called the bond's term. U.S. Treasury Bond, which is backed by the full faith and credit of the US government and therefore has near zero risk, has a term of more than one year. A US Treasury Bill or T-Bill is also government-backed but has a term of less than one year.
A bond's maturity or maturity date is the day it comes due for payment. The amount that's paid on the day is known as the bond's maturity value. A capital gain or a capital loss is the amount that a bond's market price increases or decreases after the bond is purchased. Coupon or coupon rate is the interest rate on a security with a fixed rate of return. A bond's yield is the bond's interest, interest earned on that interest through compounding and capital gains if any. A bond is said to be callable if you can redeem it, prior to the end of the bond's term.
Most callable bonds specify a first call date before which the investor can't redeem the bond. Finally risk, the likelihood that some factor, such as currency fluctuations, inflation, interest rates, or external events such as natural disasters or wars, will negatively affect the value of a bond. This list of bond related terms is by no means all-inclusive. You should read as much as you can about bonds, so you can better understand the intricacies of bond pricing and trading.

#Mcconnelling some strange b-roll of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (designed for use by SuperPACs) lends itself perfectly to literally any and every song set as its soundtrack.

Color in motion: spray payin artwork made in minutes
If you think that airbrushed sci-fi landscapes like like this have been rendered obsolete by time-saving computer graphics, let Brandon McConnell prove otherwise. You can watch him make similar art in five minutes with a few cans of spray paint, magazines and the lid for a pot. Don't have enough time for that? How about a one minute sci-fi landscape? OK, let's go faster: here's a 45 second painting, and faster yet: a 39 second painting. But it's not all pyramids and planets, there are also quickly created nature scenes, and tutorial clips, within the collection of 184 videos uploaded to YouTube.

The pragmatism with which the Japanese are surreptitiously ditching nuclear power underscores deep cultural differences with the Germans, who have a reputation for embracing ideological debates and taking a somewhat patronizing tone with the rest of the world. It's even possible that the Japanese could ultimately more radically convert their country into a nuclear-free zone -- just as they became the world champions of energy-efficient technologies following the oil crisis in the early 1970s.
Until last year, such a change in direction seemed unthinkable. At the time, Japan met nearly one-third of its energy needs with nuclear power. Tokyo was planning to build 14 additional nuclear power plants by 2030.
Even today, Japan is still not officially talking about phasing out nuclear power. Genpatsu mura -- literally, the "atomic village," as the unholy alliance of companies and sponsored media are known in Japan -- has not yet capitulated. The pro-nuclear lobby has merely ducked for cover.
Prime Minister Noda is pushing for all reactors that have passed the stress test to be quickly put back online. Although he plans to introduce new legislation that would limit the operation of old nuclear power plants to 40 years, in exceptional cases this law would allow for life spans of up to 60 years.
Noda also supports the export of Japanese nuclear technology. Japan's Ministry of Education, Science and Culture has provided funding to schools, even after the nuclear accident, so young Japanese can learn about the supposed blessings of nuclear energy. This is one of the political peculiarities of this nation that continuously strives for harmony and abhors nothing so much as abrupt changes in course.
The fact of the matter, however, is that the struggle to achieve a new energy consensus began a long time ago. Japan's strongest opponents of nuclear power are not its notoriously fragmented environmental groups but, rather, its rural prefectures, which have emerged as the most influential driving forces against a return to nuclear power.
Ever since Fukushima, these local governments have no longer been able to afford ignoring the fears of their constituents. The usual lavish subsidies from Tokyo are failing to convince them to restart nuclear reactors that have been shut down. Even if the government certifies such facilities as safe, officials such as the governor of Niigata, Hirohiko Izumida, have warned that they will not necessarily agree to put them back into operation. The shock sits too deeply among those who have borne the brunt of the Fukushima disaster.
Inescapable Contamination Kenta Sato, 29, a junior partner at a welding company, was evacuated in May with 6,500 other residents of the town of Iitate. Since then, the slender man has been living with his mother in a rental apartment nearly an hour's drive away, in the prefecture capital Fukushima. His father and grandmother had to be housed elsewhere.
Sato gets in a car to be driven to Iitate. He wants to see if everything is in order and feed the three dogs he left behind. He's not wearing any protective clothing -- just a down jacket, tight jeans and pointy patent-leather shoes. He couldn't escape the radiation anyway: Even in the supposedly safe city of Fukushima, his measuring instrument shows two microsieverts today.

Best Black Friday apps
Get the best deals with these apps
If you play Black Friday and Cyber Monday right, you'll save hundreds of dollars on purchases you would've made anyway. So before you buy that regularly priced DSLR, fancy flatscreen, or $200 winter coat, download these apps and get the best deals.
Essential Apps
TGI Black Friday 2014
by Ecatcher, Inc.
TGI Black Friday is a well organized app that sorts deals by products and stores. You can create a personalized shopping list by clicking to add deals to "My List" which is great if you want to get certain items during your shopping excursion. This app is a pleasure to look at and you can also share your favorite deals via email, Twitter, or Facebook.
Notable Apps
Black Friday
by FatWallet, Inc.
Fatwallet has given their Black Friday app a major facelift this year. Some highlights of their updates include product images and more sorting options such as "just added." The only downside of this app is it focuses on major chain stores like Macy's and Kmart, though it has added more stores than previous years. For a greater variety of stores and localized deals, you'll have to go somewhere else to find them.
Amazon App: shop, browse, scan, compare, and read reviews
by AMZN Mobile LLC
When it comes to Cyber Monday, Amazon has consistently presented consumers with some amazing deals. From deeply discounted electronics to grocery items, you'll kick yourself if you miss that huge TV that sold for 60% off. With free Super Saver Shipping and Amazon Prime, be sure to keep a close eye on the deals that Amazon churns out this holiday weekend.
Scan Shop – UPC Code Reader, QR Bar Code Reader and Qrcode Scanner
by BuyVia, LLC
Black Friday 2013 by BuyVia is an ideal app to have as your companion on Black Friday. Browse deals by whether they are Black Friday deals, online deals, or local deals. You can even browse them by categories, stores, or search for a specific deal. Add deals to your shopping list or create shopping alerts to be notified of personalized deals that cater to you. There is even a scanner included in the app that allows you to find the best price for the product you have in hand.
Black Friday 2014 App by Slickdeals - Deals, Coupons & Discounts
by Slickdeals, LLC
Black Friday App by Slickdeals is what you would expect from Slickdeals, nothing less. Browse Black Friday deals by stores or categories, create a shopping list, and even take part in the Black Friday discussion board.
Black Friday 2015 Ads App - BlackFriday.fm
by Sazze, Inc.
The BlackFriday.fm app is a very well organized app that includes Black Friday news, deals by stores, deals by categories, and a shopping list. The stores included in this app seem to be more major chains than local stores so if you need a bigger variety this may not be the app for you. The interface isn't as welcoming or user-friendly as some of the others, but it has a certain sleek look to it that some will prefer. This is not the app for everyone, but the people that it attracts will love it.
Decent Apps
Black Friday by BradsDeals
by Shop Smart Inc.
This one contains ad scans, a tab that lets you view current deals, and another tab that presents you with news pertaining to Black Friday ads. You are also able to save deals and those will later show up in the Saved tab. Its catalog of deals isn't very descriptive at all and the deals aren't organized, but if you're looking for a general overview of deals, it's worth a gander.
Black Friday Shopping
by Venture Media Labs Inc.
Clip coupons and scope out Black Friday deals with Black Friday Shopping. Sort coupons and savings by stores, categories, or products. Keep your shopping organized with wish lists. This app is great for the people that are used to the paper ads, but don't want to carry all that with them on the big day.
Shopular Coupons, Weekly Ads & Shopping Mall Deals
by AirCrunch Inc.
Coupons App by Shopular is a beautiful app, but because it is technically a coupon app and doesn't cater to Black Friday deals in particular, it finds itself in the decent category. With this app, you can see when a certain store has a promo such as a certain percentage off.
Black Friday 2014 - Best Deals, Discounts, Sales and Coupons for the Holidays
by dealnews.com, Inc.
Black Friday App is just that, a Black Friday app. You can browse deals by categories or stores, and even search through them. You can also save deals, but the lack of stores included in this app is disappointing, putting it at the bottom of the list when compared to other Black Friday apps.
The Black Friday
by IDEA FIRST TECHNOLOGIES INC
The Black Friday app has a nice look to it, but navigating through it is a nightmare. Scrolling just doesn't seem to flow very nicely. You can, however, browse through ads, deals, and news.
RightBuy Coupons App - Fashion Coupons, Deals & Online Sales
by Right Buy, Inc.
RightBuy Shopping App is the app to have if you're looking for certain brand name products in particular. Simply select which brands or stores you'd like to view deals from and the app will display those deals and even notify you in the future of amazing deals. Not quite a true Black Friday app, but could definitely be helpful for Black Friday shopping.
Shop Smarter
RedLaser – Barcode Scanner, Shopping Assistant & QR Code Reader
by eBay Inc.
Make sure the deal you've stumbled on is worth it with RedLaser. Search thousands of retailers (online and locally) and see what item you're coveting is worth. As a bonus, RedLaser also indexes coupons and sales to add to your Black Friday discounts. Also be sure to use its digital wallet feature that lets you scan and store your loyalty cards so you won't have to fumble for it at the cash register.
shopkick: Deals and Free Gift Cards For Shopping at Your Favorite Stores
by shopkick
Get rewards for stepping into a store with Shopkick. Got overwhelmed when you walked into Best Buy on Friday and the swarms of people? That's okay, Shopkick just gave you a bunch of points for stepping into the store. Redeem your points, or "kicks," for rewards at partnered stores (e.g. lattes and giftcards).
ShopSavvy Barcode Scanner, Price Checker, QR Code Reader and Sale Search
by ShopSavvy, Inc.
Scanning and comparing prices not enough? ShopSavvy compares prices just like RedLaser does, but also lets you purchase items in-app. So, if you find a cheaper price online, you can nab it with a click of a button.

Fair Use, Girl Talk, and Digital Sampling: An Empirical Study of Music Sampling's Effect on the Market for Copyrighted Works
W. Michael Schuster II
October 14, 2013
Oklahoma Law Review, Forthcoming
This Article presents an empirical study on the effect that digital sampling has on sales of copyrighted songs and how this effect should influence the fair use analysis. To conduct this research, a group of previously sampled songs had to be identified and sales information for these songs collected. The over 350 songs sampled in musician Gregg Gillis's (AKA Girl Talk's) most recent album presents an ideal dataset because the album's instantaneous popularity allows for its influence to be analyzed through a comparison of the sampled songs' sales immediately before and after release. A draft copy of this article found that — to a 92.5% degree of statistical significance — the copyrighted songs sold better in the year after being sampled relative to the year before. The draft is presently under revision to refine and finalize the methodology and conclusions.

As show comes to a close, the numbers roll in
CORPUS CHRISTI - More than a million dollars was raised at the Nueces County Junior Livestock Show this year, which is about $200,000 more than last year's total of $840,000.
The numbers are preliminary, said Flo East, a spokeswoman for the show.
Add-ons for the show are additional amounts of money that a person can add to a participant's project.
The add-ons to date are at $241,166 with more continuing to come in, East said.
The quilt auction also brought in significantly more than the previous year, reaching $28,500.
Last year's number was not available.
All proceeds from the show go to a scholarship fund for participants.

Trancers II is a 1991 American action science fiction film directed by Charles Band. It is the sequel to Trancers starring Tim Thomerson and Helen Hunt.
The film has been released on DVD through the Trancers boxset or as a single DVD in Europe.
Los Angeles, 1991. Jack Deth (Tim Thomerson) has gotten used to life with his wife Lena (Helen Hunt) in the six years since they killed Whistler. Hap Ashby (Bif Manard) has made a fortune investing and has moved from the streets to a palatial estate, sharing it with Jack and Lena. But life is about to get difficult for Jack. Whistler's brother, E.D. Wardo (Richard Lynch), has gone back in time and created a "trancer farm" under the guise of an environmental organization. GreenWorld strives to 'clean up the world', but they are kidnapping the homeless and mental patients to enslave in a trancer army. Once again, Hap is under attack, useful to Wardo as the ancestor of future Angel City Council Member Ashe. Jack's ready to singe some trancers in the name of the law, but he isn't expecting his dead wife, Alice (Megan Ward) to show up—and neither is Lena.
Alice has been saved from death by the City Council and send back to 1991 to help Jack stop Wardo. The tension mounts as Lena becomes fearful of losing Jack to his future wife, Hap slips back to the bottle to deal with the stress, and Jack realizes that when Alice returns to the future, she'll die again. Somehow, Jack must find a way to save more than just the future.

text: Ping Pong Southbank Festival Terrace, Southbank Centre, Belvedere Road, London SE1 8XX Overall rating: Speedy dim sum and cocktails on the Southbank by The Cheese (46) Jul 2015 If chain restaurants bring you out in hives, a saunter along the Southbank can be traumatic. Kid-friendly and chaotic is the norm for one particularly unforgiving stretch along the Thames, but veer slightly off the thoroughfare towards Waterloo and the queues in double-figures diminish (albeit ever-so-slightly). Ping Pong is a case in point. Yes it's a chain, and every sharing table is hella busy, but we found the food to be alright and the cocktails were brilliant. Picking a balance of hot, cold, steamed, grilled and fried dim sum was easy, thanks to the layout of the 'tick-your-own' menu. Beef and chilli parcels had satisfying heat, while the special of turnip puffs left us fighting for the last one. Cloud-light bao buns were unexpectedly a self-assembly jobbie, which was novel as an intermediate chopstick user (but could be a mare for novices). The accompanying smoked duck tasted a bit hammy and wasn't for me, but that's down to a personal aversion to super-smooth textures along the lines of poached meat or steak tartare. Our only real gripe was chicken dumplings that had grown sticky and unstable after a minute too long in the steamer. Cocktails were great, with experimental but considered flavours; my sweet-toothed partner loved the five-spice pineapple martini, and was uncharacteristically impressed by my aperitif, too: an elderflower saketini. After dinner, thermal glasses allowed pearls of jasmine tea to elegantly unfurl before us, creating a minor spectacle at the table. Service was rushed but efficient throughout, despite the frenetic turnover. There will always be an air of pandemonium around these parts, but the nature of dim sum demands a degree of attentiveness and offers momentary distraction from the mayhem. So if you're grabbing a pre-Udderbelly bite, Ping Pong's not bad as a speedy, sit-down option. ...

Yes No Request removal Vintage Salt Selfridges, 400 Oxford Street, London W1A 1AB Overall rating: Summer in the City - read Nuzy Sayani's review of Vintage Salt by Nuzy S. (6) Jul 2015 "Give the lady what she wants." Harry Gordon Selfridge With the glorious weather that we are currently enjoying, all thoughts turn to al fresco dining. This year we have seen a number of great pop ups and Vintage Salt is no exception. The roof terrace of Selfridges has been converted to a Cornish sea-side themed bar and restaurant. The Drift Bar even has beach huts – perfect for those who want a bit of privacy! But don't let the fishing nets and beach balls fool you – the atmosphere is pure London and there is a great vibe. My girlfriends and I started with a delectable Miravel rose that got the conversation flowing (not that we need help in that department!). We basked in the evening sun and enjoyed people watching and spotting London landmarks. After an intense day at work I was pleased to be guided by Oliver Redman, the charming manager. He recommended the spiced tuna tartar, the marinated salmon served on a bed of radishes, the London particular fritters (a big hit) and the beets, goat's cheese and watermelon salad. I have it on good authority from the lovely Jumana that the oysters and scallops are delicious. We went on to enjoy the Harissa roasted sea trout perched on cracked bulgur wheat, a succulent Cornish shrimp burger and tender lamb chops. There is a good selection of sides including moreish truffled chips. The food was light and fresh and perfect for a summer's evening. We indulged ourselves with chocolate burgers accompanied by churro "chips" and chocolate "ketchup" and the scrumptious signature Vintage Salt cigar, a beautifully constructed brandy snap filled with salted caramel ice cream and sprinkled with honeycomb. Both were sinfully good. I would recommend Vintage Salt for lunch, dinner or a perfect pit stop whilst shopping. Great ambience, food and service and a perfect way to enjoy our beautiful city.

Yes No Request removal Bedford and Strand 1a Bedford Street, London WC2E 9HH Overall rating: Covent Garden's secret gem by Luncheon Vulture (38) Jul 2015 I hadn't been to B&S for a while having had my head turned by the influx of brasseries that have popped up in this part of town, but I was very glad to rediscover it. Alas it was only for a brief stop for a pre-theatre meal but the cool, quiet interior was a welcome relief from the summer evening madness outside. We each had a main; my friend opting for the large steak tartare which came with possibly the largest portion of fries ever seen (naturally I had to help her out) and I went for the warm chicken salad but we were then both tempted into sharing a plate of cheese. My only criticism was that the cheese was served somewhat too cold for my taste; I like my brie de Meaux to be literally running off the plate, but otherwise a great, albeit brief evening. ...

Yes No Request removal Joanna s 56 Westow Hill, London SE19 1RX Overall rating: Dinner à deux: smart steaks and old-school service by The Cheese (46) Jul 2015 Imagine a land untouched by small plates, sliders and kimchee cocktails. In this land, you will find Joanna's. It's an old-fashioned Crystal Palace institution, keeping the neighbourhood in steaks, burgers and chargrilled Americana for the last 35 years. Don't expect a diner - it's a quietly classy environment that's smart but not fusty. Having enjoyed a couple of decent dinners here in the past, I booked lunch after a three-year hiatus. Staff are still decked out in brasserie chic (starched aprons, natty waistcoats) and we experienced the same old-school, courteous service as before. The interior continues to uphold the retro aesthetic with clubby wood panelling and a shiny, bistro bar. The new-fangled soundtrack is a bit of a clanger; '80s Madge and Eurythmics seem incongruous and certainly jarred at 2pm on a Saturday, leaving us longing for the days when the founder tinkled the ivories. The crowd was almost exclusively women in twos or threes, usually with a lovely Mum in tow. It made for a low-key, relaxed scene that was far less screechy than a hardcore brunch-and-bubbles destination, with considerably less booze being knocked back. Tea and cake proved as popular as a full English - the brunch menu runs from noon 'til 3pm. There was nowt wrong with my no-frills Eggs Benedict; all runny yolks streaming from plump white orbs, smooth hollandaise and proper, hearty bacon. A side of peas and chervil was a little past its freshest, with the odd roguish woolly pellet robbing the dish of sweetness. Squid and chorizo on mixed leaves was better, but edged towards the filthier end of the salad spectrum due to an inescapable sea of aioli. (It's worth asking for dressing on the side). Pud was a chocolate sundae; a towering portion that was more than enough for two. Brownie chunks delivered the dense, truffle-like goo we were hoping for. The sticky sauce lacked the lip-smacking umami of a ballsy salted caramel, but nuggets of peanut crunch offered the right balance between savoury and sweet. The whole haul came to 35 quid in total, including service. All in all, I really like Joanna's and would heartily recommend it for dinner. It's an unpretentious spot that would coax you as smoothly through a first date as it would supper with the folks, preferably well-oiled with some classic cocktails. The evening set up's more polished, and the room looks at its best when aglow; lunch can seem underwhelming in comparison, so make a beeline after dark. ...

We dined during a happy hour also managed to pack a few 2 for 1 cocktails. Atmosphere is pleasant and feels authentic. There is a bit of an echo when the ice is being crushed at the bar so it is quite hard to hear one's companion talking.

Yes No Request removal Dock Kitchen Portobello Dock, 342 Ladbroke Grove, London W10 5AH Overall rating: Cooking up a feast by Gourmand Gunno (141) Jun 2015 Outdoor space and genuinely original culinary concepts that aren't instant flops are a hard combination to find, even in London. Nonetheless, Dock Kitchen scores well on both counts, constituted a perfect place for a relaxed summer meal, and has the potential to be amazing, if only they upped their game in terms of service a bit. The attractions of the Grand Union canal running from west from Paddington to Ladbroke Grove and beyond has been known to locals for some time, but for those willing to venture somewhat beyond the central comfort zone, a trip is definitely merited. There is a generally relaxed vibe in the area, people passing time on barges, skating in a nearby park or just taking in the atmosphere. The Dock Kitchen fits in perfectly, located in a converted Victorian Wharf building that has become part of an urban regeneration project. Decked out in metal and glass, with local architects and artists providing the fixtures and fittings, the Kitchen feels like a cool, modern place. The outside dining area is extensive and affords a great opportunity both for people watching and to see the chefs in action. Even on a recent Monday night when my comrade and I visited, the place was close to being full, clearly a sign that they are doing something right. Established chef Stevie Parle (something of a local celebrity) has brought a highly innovative take to cooking, drawing influences from around the world. Diners get to choose either from a set menu which takes in one style of regional cooking and changes every three weeks or from a short but diverse a la carte offering. On this occasion, my comrade got to sample a selection of dishes from the Middle East, on offer in the set format, while I chose from the menu. Culinary options from almost all the continents were represented. My starter of squid on a bed of spinach leaves coated in a tahini dressing was executed flawlessly, reminiscent of food I had in eaten in Israel (or perhaps at the Palomar in London). My only complaint may have been the portion size, as I was definitely left wanting more. At least my appetite was set for the main, another superb concoction of pork, salsa verde and borlotti beans. My comrade also praised highly is mezze starter and grilled lamb main. We enjoyed this with a superb bottle of Pieropan white from the Soave region of Italy and the range of options across the list was also impressive. It was a pity, however, that we had to wait almost ten minutes after ordering the wine for it to arrive (at least the starters were cold and so were not in danger of suffering) only then to watch our server struggle ineptly to open the bottle. Surely a little more training might be in order? They also seemingly forgot my comrade's dessert, for which we also had to endure a notable wait. In the grand scheme of the experience (and also noting that the set three-course menu is available for the amazingly competitive price of £24.50), these represent relatively minor quibbles, and there is every reason to go. You can't reserve outside, so make sure you get there early! ...

(24) Jun 2015 I was texting my boyfriend saying 'we have to go here' before I'd even finished my main, I loved it that much. Probably the best steak I've had in London! I had such a good evening out here. The choice of steaks is very extensive and my choice, the fillet, was fantastic, absolutely faultless. I recommend you get the lobster tails too. I sometimes find in steak places that offer lobster that it can be a little secondary to the steak but that wasn't the case here. The sides are divine too, I really recommend the mac and cheese. My dessert, a chocolate and banana mousse was good but nothing to shout about. Who cares? You're there for the meat. Service was friendly and very knowledgeable, our waiter made us feel very welcome and taken care of. Surroundings are very City old school - all intimate, dark and woody, I loved it. There are very few places I think 'I must come back here ASAP' but this is one of the them. Just go! ...

The Belfry's website really makes the Grill out to look something special, and perhaps late at night with the lights dimmed, that may well be the case but at 6:30 on a bright summer's evening (we had ankle biters in our party) it did not feel that special at all. The Grill offers two menus; an a la carte which offers a fairly standard array of starters and grill staples (although oddly, no chicken) and a 3-course buffet menu. The vast majority of our party went for the a la carte, but the two who went for the buffet, generally found the food to be varied and tasty, although both came back with what looked like Sunday lunch. Overall the a la carte offerings were plentiful and tasty, but nothing to really excite and given that the prices are comparable to those in top notch steak restaurants in Central London, our expectations were heightened but not met. Service was ok to indifferent, but to be honest, that was the standard throughout all bars and restaurants within the Belfry. Noise levels rose dramatically as the restaurant filled, but as the hotel tends to cater for large parties (golfers not to mention stags and hens) that was not particularly surprising, but again, added to the overall indifference to the restaurant.

(15) Jun 2015 A gastropub is somewhere I would never go for a client lunch as a rule of thumb. But I went to Taste of London festival and loved the food we tried, so much in fact, my dad and I went back twice! So it was to my dismay that they are based round the back of Angel, an area I never get to, but providence intervened and put a client right there! As they have a lovely garden out the back, completely walled in from traffic and a wonderful sun trap, it was too good an opportunity not to go. I can happily say that they lived up to the Taste of London showing. The food is not overly complicated but the execution is lovely and packs a flavourful punch. My fried quail wasn't oily or overcooked, my client's sprats were juicy and fresh and my colleagues cow's curd & strawberry salad was summer on a plate. The main courses didn't disappoint and with unusual choices available - calves' liver, oxtail - provided a treat.

Yes No Request removal Madhus Heathrow Sheraton Skyline Hotel London Heathrow, Bath Road, London UB3 5BP Overall rating: Food decent; unconvinced by value by David H. (54) Jun 2015 It seems that we've been constrained to restaurants not far from home quite a bit recently, and today my wife, knowing that I enjoy Indian food, suggested we try a fairly new branch of the well-known Southall eatery. next to Heathrow. Its in the Sheraton Skyline hotel and the evening didn't start well when despite a huge car park, it was difficult to find a space at 6.30pm We did eventually get parked though it has to be said that at 8 when we emerged it would have been even more difficult. Also note that you have to pay for parking, in advance, at £4 for up to two hours. The restaurant itself is very large, with well spaced tables and a striking décor that I have to admit has rather too much bling for my taste. Its also noisy- this exacerbated by kids from the semi-private rooms round the edge running round the place. If you want a quiet dinner in a sophisticated environment , I'm afraid this isn't it. Turning to the food. The showpiece of the restaurant is a Robata grill , and the products of this take pride of place on the menu and our waiter pushed it rather hard. What isn't clear from the website, nor the menu you get on site, is that the portions indicated are small plates suitable for sharing, and what they'd really like apparently is for customers to buy a number of sharing plates from here and ignore the traditional items . The selection of traditional Indian food ( which is I guess what we expected to eat) is much smaller than you'll find in most Indian restaurants. They really are staking a lot on this grill! Personally I prefer the menu at their Southall restaurant, or at the Mehfil, on the same street. The food in fact wasn't bad at all, though my wife would say that her chicken (described by the waiter as the mildest available ) was a little spicy . We shared a portion of salmon-from the grill- and a Papri chaat which we usually enjoy. The salmon was tender , though I can't work out why they wrap food in a banana leaf so you get no hint of charcoal at all. Our main course chicken , lamb on the bone, rice, raita and Dal Makhani were exactly as you'd expect. The bill for two of us with one large beer, service but no coffee or dessert, came to £73. Now there's a lot of Indian restaurants round Heathrow and that's expensive in the competitive sense. Its a lot more than you'd pay at the other Madhu's branch for similar food, or at any of the thirty-odd local Indian restaurants I've used in the last few years. Its the cost of the airport hotel premises I'd guess, and of course that grill! I don't mind paying more for more, but more for the same is an issue for more than just me I'd imagine. Leaving the restaurant we were asked for our car details so we wouldn't have to pay for parking. Weird, the parking is visibly pay & display so we'd paid, and no offer of reimbursement was made. What's the point- are they trying to get notional credit for providing free parking without actually doing so? Or are they just disorganised? Odd. ...

Yes No Request removal Mehfil Indian Restaurant and Bar 35 Market Square, Bicester OX26 2AG Overall rating: Reliable , tasty food at affordable prices by David H. (54) Jun 2015 We were introduced to Mehfil by a friend some years ago and since then have visited a couple of times a year- the last time being a couple of weeks ago. Its a hotel as well as a restaurant , right in the middle of Southall which often means a parking issue, but as a hotel its has parking. Sometimes that parking lot gets over-full and it might get a little difficult to drive your car away. The restaurant is nothing to write home about- if I said it looks like an older department store cafeteria, or a staff canteen you'd get my drift. The service is generally fine but has been known to become a little erratic under pressure. The food however is reliable and tasty, and there are dishes available here (Amritsari fish, Papri Chaat, Dal Makhani) that you can't get at most Indian restaurants. Decent value too, and pappadoms,a couple of starters to share, main course, rice, vegetable, Kingfishers and service will run under £50 for two, which I consider good value. They have yet to disappoint me, and I shall keep going ...

Syrian refugees share 'safe space'
- 15 June 2015
- From the section In Pictures
The conflict in Syria that began in 2011 has made millions of refugees flee the country, many making their way to neighbouring Lebanon.
Officially there are about 1.1 million registered refugees in Lebanon - though the actual figure is believed to be far higher - many of them children.
UK charity Christian Aid has been working with Lebanese organisation Mouvement Social on a photographic project to help young refugees from Syria integrate with Lebanese youth.
The children, aged between 11 and 17, were asked to focus on their "safe space" and what made them happy and to express that in an image.
"Children around the world love photography and these kids were no different," says Tabitha Ross, a photographer based in Beirut who led the project.

In the shadow of Magna Carta
- 11 June 2015
- From the section In Pictures
The 800th anniversary of the sealing of Magna Carta by King John at Runnymede, on the banks of the Thames, is on Monday, 15 June. Today, the site, between Windsor and Staines, is part of the National Trust - but bordering it, a group have set up what they call Runnymede Eco-Village.
The small community is based in woodland earmarked for housing, and eviction notices have been served. They call themselves Diggers, after a group of land activists who occupied St George's Hill in 1649.
Gone fishing

Beatrice Di Caro has just completed a BA in photojournalism at the London College of Communication, her final project focusing on the lives of fishermen in Monte Argentario, an area in the south of Tuscany in Italy.
Her pictures portray the lives of the fishermen onshore and the work carried out on the piers, the routine tasks that are essential to the smooth running of days at sea.

Speakers' Corner: The home of free speech
- 15 May 2015
- From the section In Pictures
Speakers' Corner in London is well known as the home of free speech, where anyone can get on their soapbox and make their voice heard. Whether anyone will listen is of course another matter. Photographer Philip Wolmuth has been documenting the corner in London's Hyde Park for 35 years, and has just published a book of the work. Here, Wolmuth writes about the changes he has seen during that time.
It was the passion, irreverence and air of apparent anarchy that immediately attracted me on my first visit to Speakers' Corner in 1977.
Republic of The Bridge
- 13 May 2015
- From the section In Pictures
Not far from the rebel stronghold of Donetsk is an incomplete bridge that members of Ukraine's volunteer battalions have made into a temporary home a few miles from the front line. Photographer Pete Kiehart visited the site a number of times earlier this year. Here he talks about the project and life under the bridge.
This is the "Republic of The Bridge", as it has been named by the soldiers who call it their temporary home. Explosions and gunfire ring out at all hours of the day and night here, where the promise of peace offered by the Minsk II ceasefire has not arrived.
Offbeat moments from the campaign trail

Caravan, A Great British Love Story
- 3 May 2015
- From the section In Pictures
In the UK, the May Day bank holiday offers a chance to take a short break away from the daily grind, and for some people that means hitching up the caravan to the back of the car and heading into the countryside.
Inspired by fond memories of his childhood caravanning holidays in Southwold, Suffolk, photographer Gareth Iwan Jones turned his attention to this subject, the very British world of Caravanning.

The first detailed search of breast cancer genomes to uncover genomic rearrangements is published today. The team characterised the ways in which the human genome is broken and put back together in 24 cases of breast cancer.
Rearrangements involve reshuffling and reorganisation of the genome and include deletions, duplications and novel juxtaposition of DNA sequences. The study shows that breast cancer samples can differ greatly in the extent to which they are subject to genomic rearrangements: some are relatively undisturbed whereas others are fractured extensively and then reassembled with more than 200 rearrangements present.
While it is known that the majority of cancer genes important in blood cancers are activated by rearrangement, the role of this process in the common adult cancers is much less clear. This new study builds on pioneering work from the team using next generation sequencing to characterise comprehensively rearrangements in adult solid tumours.
"We have looked at the level of the DNA sequence at just how splintered and reorganised the genome is in many breast cancers. We were, frankly, astounded at the number and complexity of rearrangements in some cancers." says Professor Mike Stratton of the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute. "Just as important, the genomes were different from each other, with multiple distinctive patterns of rearrangement observed, supporting the view that breast cancer is not one, but several diseases."
The information obtained from this study will add a new dimension to tumour classification and thus refine diagnosis and treatment.
In the study, the team used next-generation DNA sequencing to produce maps of genome rearrangements in 24 breast cancer samples, which were chosen to include the major subtypes of breast cancer and also included examples of breast cancers arising in BRCA1 and BRCA2 breast cancer families.

How are these are repelling water? Also, I'm curious if these are sized a little large. I may want to wear a liner underneath, so I'm not sure if I should order a size up or not.
Jeff Blackston
In my opinion, they are sized just about spot on. I can usually squeeze into a medium, but find that I like the fit of the large best, even though the fingers lengths are a hair too long. Both my pair are size large. Yes, I would say if you want to wear a thin liner, then you may want to size up. They are OK at shedding water, as leather is water resistant. However, if you remain in constant contact with wet/snow, they will wet out, but still insulate nicely. Also, if your activity level is high over an extended period, they will wet out from the inside. I usually keep them waxed with some form of leather conditioner or wax product, and that helps alot! Awesome glove!

Markus Wheaton had seven catches for 99 yards for the Beavers (8-2, 6-2 Pac-12), who improved to 5-0 at Reser Stadium and will face Oregon in the Civil War next weekend. Terron Ward ran for 128 yards and two touchdowns, helping the Beavers rack up 559 yards of offense.

Allan Bridgford was 18-of-31 passing for 132 yards. Tedford, two-time conference coach of the year, has been at California since 2002, but the program has been in decline. The Bears are 14-23 in the past three seasons. The high point of the year was back-to-back wins over UCLA and Washington State in October, but the Bears lost their final five games.

Launch of new health insurance marketplace already changing lives in Routt County
unless we start turning people away at the emergency room door, where they can bleed to death or otherwise die in the alley way adjacent to the for profit hospital, we have some serious thinking to do. as a Christian nation we are simply not going to boot you from trauma because your chase card maxed out. do I hear ANYONE arguing this point?? walk into any hospital in the country and you will get treatment regardless if you can pay or not, Oh, and as it turns out -- its WAY less cost effective and does not provide the best care, and more importantly -- results. (think ER doc treating your torn ACL.....you need a specialist for a lot of things. the ER doc's are amazing, but specialists are there for a reason,) But we have to STOP treating people for the first time in the ER, we can't afford it anymore. its SO much more affordable - with far better results - to see a GP on a somewhat regular basis, and did I mention that its FAR less expensive then the current way we do things,
One small example on how we figure this thing out, There's a long way to go. It is clearly desperate that we need to start saving money on healthcare - due to the overall and trending -- shift in population dynamics -- over the next 30+ years we are going to have to be pretty danm streamlined and efficient due to the aging population. And sure we could make an other dent by taking away food programs that make sure desperately poor kids get a decent nutritional meal during school. And we can roll back consumer protections
I read in the new York times that there is 30-40% "fluff: in the system right...doctors getting paid by procedure, healthcare insurance execs, [and I don't just mean the upper tier, lots of money circulating] - a lot of it is commission (sad, if you think that one through) and pays phenomenally well for the performers in the commission contest - you know that one who saves the insurance company the most money ,, meanwhile a family just holding on has to go the bankruptcy route, and a lot of people who get screwed by the insurance industry are older! bankruptcy takes something like over 10 years to clear your record what if you are 64 and had a major hop issue. could easily lead to bankruptcy. very little in the way of new prospects that don't pay #8/hr....... ah, sleepin' in the old impala ain't so bad....
the 30-40% fluff has got you go. it is simply unsustainable, just look at the numbers and I believe you will see I see the truth # >stock price / other equity positions in the dark market. >dividends >executive pay from obviously the absolute top tier down -- but also many rungs down the ladder too, > plenty of :bonuses" to go around also...and, sweetheart (collusion in instances) relationships within the industry - a nexus of golf playing good old boys and gals "just trying to survive" and to make a few bucks. well, more then a few, a ton. but that's how people inherently work.

Bob Smith 1 year, 10 months ago on Ken Collins: Global climate change
Ken Collins: Global climate change
........Supereruptions are extremely rare, with recurrence intervals of 100,000–200,000 years; none have occurred historically, the most recent examples being Indonesia's Toba volcano, which erupted 74,000 years ago, and the United States' Yellowstone caldera, which erupted 2 million years ago. Interestingly, these calculations strongly suggest that present-day annual anthropogenic CO2 emissions may exceed the CO2 output of one or more supereruptions every year.
Supereruptions are a significant contributor to adding CO2 to the atmosphere on geologic time scales. Yet they pale by comparison to human emissions. Yes, you read that right — while supereruptions only happen every 100,000 to 200,000 years or so, we're presently adding CO2 to the atmosphere at a rate of one or more supereruptions every year.
Those who continue to claim that volcanic activity puts more CO2 into the atmosphere than human activity (including Ian Plimer) have been corrected — many times — by those who actually do the research. Yet the claim, like a zombie, refuses to die. Those who cling to it do so, not just out of ignorance, but out of willful ignorance.
Bob Smith 1 year, 10 months ago on Ken Collins: Global climate change
Ken Collins: Global climate change
Which emits more carbon dioxide (CO2): Earth's volcanoes or human activities? Research findings indicate unequivocally that the answer to this frequently asked question is human activities. However, most people, including some Earth scientists working in fields outside volcanology, are surprised by this answer. The climate change debate has revived and reinforced the belief, widespread among climate skeptics, that volcanoes emit more CO2 than human activities [Gerlach, 2010; Plimer, 2009]. In fact, present-day volcanoes emit relatively modest amounts of CO2, about as much annually as states like Florida, Michigan, and Ohio.
Gerlach surveys the literature and reports the scientific findings:
Global estimates of the annual present-day CO2 output of the Earth's degassing subaerial and submarine volcanoes range from 0.13 to 0.44 billion metric tons (gigatons) per year [Gerlach, 1991; Allard, 1992; Varekamp et al., 1992; Sano and Williams, 1996; Marty and Tolstikhin, 1998]; the preferred global estimates of the authors of these studies range from 0.15 to 0.26 gigaton per year. Other aggregated volcanic CO2 emission rate estimates — published in 18 studies since 1979 as subaerial, arc, and mid-oceanic ridge estimates — are consistent with the global estimates.
Considering that human activity released some 30 Gt CO2 into the atmosphere last year, human emissions are likely 100 (or more) times as large as volcanic emissions. Those who make claims about the Mt. Pinatubo explosion emitting more CO2 than all of human activity for all time, should be made aware that the estimated CO2 emissions from Mt. Pinatubo are 0.05 Gt CO2, about the amount released by human activity in half a day, not our entire history. In fact, in less than 3 days we outstrip the volcanic emissions for an entire year:
On average, humanity's ceaseless emissions release an amount of CO2 comparable to the 0.01 gigaton of the 1980 Mount St. Helens paroxysm every 2.5 hours and the 0.05 gigaton of the 1991 Mount Pinatubo paroxysm every 12.5 hours. Every 2.7 days, they emit an amount comparable to the 0.26 gigaton preferred estimate for annual global volcanic CO2 emissions.
Annual CO2 emissions from human activity are greater even than what results from supereruptions, volcanic events which spew forth more than 450 cubic kilometers of magma......

Sadly Mark is one of those individuals that will in all likelihood spend the rest of his life living with a very treatable disorder - one that has quite a good prognosis when medication and cognitive-behavioral therapy are used concurrently. However, Mark's extreme paranoia combined with a somewhat phobic view of psychotropic medications in general makes the likelihood of Mark actually getting adequate treatment very unlikely. However, considering his dial diagnosis - with a secondary personality disorder no less - it's not exactly like therapy would be a cake walk. In general personality disorders can be quite thorny to deal with, and when considering his prognosis "globally", if you will, either way we'd be fighting an uphill battle. So, best to just let him keep making lots of noise. In a perverse way, it's in everyone's best interest.
