General Grey's orderly book kept during the British occupation of Philadelphia, 1778Revolutionary War: British General Charles Grey's Orderly Book, 1778. Over 200 pages (8.25" x 6.5") with daily entries from March 1, 1778, through May 20, 1778, all written from "Head Quarters Philadelphia." Every page is full of handwritten orders and details of British troops under the command of General Grey as they occupied Philadelphia. Recorded are daily assignments, orders for troop movements, reports of numerous courts-martial, and much more.
Although General George Washington made efforts to protect Philadelphia, the home of the Continental Congress, Charles Grey (1729-1807), the future 1st Earl Grey, and the British army still marched into the city in September 1777, where they remained until June of 1778. Grey was a most able field commander who had recently been promoted by King George III to major general. (Later, as the war neared its conclusion, Grey was made the commander in chief of British forces in America, but the war ended before he took his post.)
During their time in Philadelphia, Grey and his troops were responsible for protecting the city against American counterattacks. Little effort, though, was needed to accomplish this task during the months of March, April, and May of 1778, so Grey took advantage of the social opportunities offered in Philadelphia, such as dances, horse races, parades, and theater. Not only were he and his officers enjoying their stay in the city, but the general thought that his soldiers were especially healthy and well supplied (even as only twenty-five miles away, George Washington's poorly clad and undernourished Continental army suffered at Valley Forge). In April, Grey learned that his commander, General William Howe (referred to as "the Commdr in Chief" in the orderly book), was to be replaced by Henry Clinton, which happened in early May, only days before the final entries in this orderly book.
The first seven pages of the book are missing; numbering occurs on every alternate page beginning with "8" and ending with "115", so the total number of pages is over 210. On the front pastedown is written, "General Greys Orderly Book 23 Febr. 1778 Samuel Brotherton Sergt of Said Compy." Other early pages list British regiments (17th Dragons, 10th Foot, 15th, 17th, 22nd, 27th, etc.) and the officers associated with them, as well as the dates of the officers' promotions. The daily orders begin on page twelve from Philadelphia on March 1, 1778, with the order that "One Batt. only" was to accompany "The Waggons, Woodcutters &c," who were to "go out on the German town Road to morrow morning."
Daily assignments (e.g., assigning "Town Duty" to "Hessian Grenadiers") occur throughout the book. Many orders were issued to protect the inhabitants of the city, particularly "his Majestys Faithful Subjects," from British soldiers. One such order forbade soldiers from going over "Inclosers belonging to the Inhabitents . . . . Offenders may be brought to Condign punishment." The orderly book also records various other details, such as an appointment for officers to share dinner with Quakers, orders to "read for Devine Service," and specific procedures for "Sentenals." Important buildings and streets in Philadelphia are mentioned, including the "state house," the "Penselveney hosptle," Ridge Road, and the "Cyty tavern," which had been a favorite gathering place for many founding fathers. During the British occupation, the tavern was used as a convenient location to hold general courts-martial to "Try all of such prisoners as shall be brought before them."
Reports of courts-martial appear frequently throughout the book, since unruly and dangerous conduct were common. The orderly book reports offenses, such as fights between officers, robberies, and general "Misbehaving" that led to court-martial punishments. On March 15, Corporal John Fisher of the 28th Regiment of Foot was sentenced to "suffer Death by being hanged by the neck" for the "Reap [rape] on the Body of Maria Nickles, a woman child of 9 years." (Interestingly, Fisher was pardoned on March 24 "in Consideration of his Youth & a very good Character Given of him by the Field Officers of his Regiment.") On March 16 at another court-martial, a private was sentenced to hang "for Deserting from Said Regiment and bearing Arms in the Rebel Army." According to various entries, treason was often a cause of courts-martial, such as on March 11 when Captain Alexander Campble, a quartermaster, was accused of "holding Correspondence with and giving Intelligence to the Enemy." The final pages contain lists of the names of numerous men - one such list is labeled "Squad Roll of Genl Grey's Compy 25 Feb. 78."
The daily entries are written in several different hands. The edges of some pages are mildly dampstained. The covers are stained and most of the leather no longer covers the boards, but covers and pages remain bound.

YIELD: Serves 6
1. To make the puddings, heat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter six 10-ounce ramekins. Combine the brioche and milk in a saucepan and let sit for 10 minutes.
2. Place the saucepan over medium-high heat, and when bubbles form around the edges of the milk, remove from the heat.
3. In a mixer fitted with a paddle (or in a bowl with a hand mixer), beat together the egg yolks and sugar until light and pale. Lightly beat the hot bread mixture into the eggs. It will break up into chunks, but don't let it turn to mash.
4. Whisk the whites with the salt in the clean mixer bowl (or a large bowl) until they hold soft peaks. Beat in the vanilla. Fold the whites into the bread mixture. Ladle the pudding mixture into the ramekins. Set the ramekins in a baking dish just large enough to hold them, and pour enough boiling water into the dish to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
5. Bake the puddings until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 25 to 35 minutes. Remove from the water bath.
6. While the puddings bake, make the sauce: Combine the sugar, orange zest, orange juice, and water in a small saucepan, bring to a boil, and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the white wine. Taste and adjust the orange juice and sugar, if desired.
7. To serve, invert the puddings into shallow bowls, and spoon a little sauce over and around each.

N-Dubz rapper 'recovering well' after being kicked in the face by horse
Friday 29 November 2013
The rapper Dappy is recovering after being kicked in the face by a horse.
The 26-year-old, whose real name is Costadinos Contostavlos, spent a night in hospital after being injured on Wednesday while riding the animal on the grounds of his home in Hertfordshire.
The horse was said to have been startled, throwing him off before stamping in his face. Known for his trademark Andean-inspired chullo hats, Dappy found fame in N-Dubz, a hip-hop trio originally from Camden which scored eight top 40 hits in the UK charts. He is "recovering well", a spokesman said.

Need to know: CV cliches Why you can`t find a jobHF interviews
Cockatoo Coal Ltd. has secured some breathing space by extending a 100 million Australian dollar (US$103.7 million) loan with a Korean lender, but it is Japanese trading house JFE Shoji that could significantly ease the Australian coal miner's funding burden.
Cockatoo is in talks to sell a 17.5% stake in coal deposits that will be developed as part of the proposed A$413 million expansion of its Baralaba mine in Queensland state's Bowen Basin to JFE Shoji, Cockatoo Coal's Managing Director Andrew Lawson told Deal Journal Australia.
Currently, Cockatoo owns 80% of these deposits, with JFE Shoji owning the remainder. Talks center around reducing Cockatoo's interest to 62.5%, which would bring it into line with the equity split with JFE Shoji for the active Baralaba mine.

Connecticut quarry owner seeks wastewater discharge permit
The owner of a quarry in York Hill, Connecticut may soon be able to discharge wastewater into a nearby waterway.
York Hill Trap Rock Quarry Co. is seeking a wastewater discharge permit that would allow the quarry to discharge stormwater runoff into the nearby Harbor Brook and groundwater into the Quinnipiac River watershed, The Record Journal reports.
The report notes that the company received an industrial stormwater general permit in October 2011, but the permit did not include mine dewatering discharges.
The Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) gave its tentative approval of the permit earlier this month and has issued a draft permit noting that the tentative decision "will protect the waters of the state from pollution," according to the report. If approved, the permit would require treatment of the wastewater and "periodic monitoring to demonstrate that the discharge will not cause pollution."

London Business School, Stanford, INSEAD Top 2009 Forbes ROI MBA Rankings
Aug 6, 2009 | 1 comment
Forbes has released its biennial ranking of top business schools as measured by return on investment graduates achieve after five years, with London Business School (LBS), Stanford Graduate School of Business and INSEAD topping the lists.
To compile the survey, alumni from top business schools were asked to share their pre-MBA salaries and compensation for three of the first five years of work after obtaining their degrees. Taking into account opportunity costs (tuition and salary lost while in school), adjusting for cost-of-living expenses and discounting earnings gains, Forbes ranked programs based on overall ROI divided into three distinct tables: U.S. programs, non-U.S. one-year programs and non-U.S. two-year programs.
LBS, which ranked number two among non-U.S. two-year programs in the 2007 rankings, sidled back up into the number one spot this year, which it also held in 2005. "I am delighted that we have re-claimed the number one position in this ranking," said Sabine Vinck, LBS associate dean of degree programs, in a statement. "This result demonstrates that London Business School offers excellent return on investment and that our alumni compensation levels post-graduation are among the highest in the world," Vinck added.
Stanford, too, reclaimed the number one spot this year on the U.S. programs list, having also slipped to second in the 2007 rankings. According to the Forbes report, Stanford graduates from the class of 2004 – now five years out from graduation – had a median salary of $82,000 before entering school, made a $235,000 investment on average on an MBA, and report a median salary of $225,000 five years out, which shows a typical cumulative gain of $85,000.
Overall, Forbes found that graduates of the five top-ranked MBA programs in its survey typically make more than $200,000 once they're five years out of school but that rising tuitions and higher pre-MBA salaries mean it's taking longer for them to get a solid payback on their investment.
For a full breakdown of the rankings, click here. The rankings issue of Forbes will be on newsstands tomorrow.

Most interesting to see here is the outcome if INSEAD.
They are a 1-year program, have a 5 yr salary close to LBS and their 5 yr gain is therefore extremely high. Seems, that going to INSEAD might be the smartest choice for doing an MBA. I wished I was smart enough to get into INSEAD, however…

older JR rough with pupPosted by: Danny
Posted on: August 17, 2002 at 21:20:41
My 1 year old JR is very rough with our 8 week old pup, he is only trying to play, he shows NO sign of jealousy. We don't want Mulligan to hurt him but at the same time we need to protect the pup. At present we will give Mulligan a "time out" by putting him in the bathroom everytime the pup yelps. They have only been together for 1 day but I don't want Mulligan to get jealous etc. I suspect he will chill in a couple of day's but meanwhile we would like your input.

No More Mystery: We Get to Know Archer New York
After building a mystery all spring, Archer Hotel New York opened at the end of May. But last week, we sent in an operative to reveal the secrets of Archer (and to find out just how sweet the nightly turndown service really is.)
The Location
New York's mid-30s neighborhood used to be a warren of Garment District warehouses and tailor shops, a neighborhood you passed through on the way to Penn Station or Times Square. Lately, however, it's become one of the city's hottest hotel opening spots (the Refinery Hotel is just a few doors down from Archer) expanding the footprint of Midtown by a few blocks.
Speaking of blocks, the one on which you will find Archer (W. 38th Street between 5th and 6th Avenues) is quiet, but a quick walk to Bryant Park in one direction and Herald Square in the other. First-time visitors to the city can be at the Empire State Building in a matter of minutes, and the lights of Times Square and Broadway's theaters are a leisurely 10-minute stroll away.
During construction and opening, the hotel cultivated an air of mystery around its namesake, Archer, a sort of character meant to conjure up the gallivanting jetsetter with an eye for bespoke knickknacks every traveler secretly hopes to be.

Refinery Hotel Wants You to Look Good and Feel Good, From Pop Men's Fashion to Inner 'Wellth'
One of the greatest ideas ever to hit the hospitality marketing scene is the concept of partnering with outside companies to create an ongoing, bespoke hotel experience.
Manhattan's Refinery Hotel is doing just that by showcasing a pop-up men's clothing store, the J. Hilburn Pop-up Shop, followed by the launch of a wellness program for both guests and the locals, the "Wellth Series."

The Archer Hotel Will No Longer Be Building a Mystery After May 28
The Archer Hotel has been keeping us guessing as to when it might be open for business but we can now tell you that the 180-room "mysterious" boutique hotel will finally pull back the curtains on May 28.
The hotel's website is still only accepting bookings from June 15, but presumably that will be fixed soon. Rates on that date start at $259 for a Classic King, which is up just $30 since the last time we checked, going up to $359 for the 368-square-foor Archer Den.
For a peek at the four different room design palettes, look here.
In-room amenities will include Malin+Goetz toiletries, Frette towels and bathrobes, free WiFi, Nespresso coffee, and a sweet nightly turndown service. The Burke in the Box room service will come from the on-site David Burke restaurant while the 22nd floor will have one of the hottest must-have hotel amenities--a rooftop bar.

First Look at Homewood Suites, Opening in NYC on June 1
Last fall, we let you know that NYC would soon be getting its first Homewood Suites Hotel and now today, we've got pictures from inside the spot, opening on June 1.
Located in Times Square South at 37th Street and 8th Avenue, this Homewood has two big amenities that we love--full kitchens (with a full-sized fridge, microwave and oven) and free WiFi. It's also got all-suite accommodations, free hot breakfast every day and complimentary dinner and drinks Monday-Thursday.
We especially dig the "homey" part of this Homewood suites. The rooms look quite...well...pretty to be honest. We like the hardwood floors, the color scheme and even the wall paper that looks like flecks of light behind the bed. Much better-looking than this Homewood Suite.
Rates for opening night start at $279 for a king studio suite, which is a nonrefundable rate. A more flexible rate of $301 is also available. A one bedroom suite starts at $379 a night.

The Archer Hotel and Its Sweet Turndown Service Will Debut in May
The much-anticipated and slightly secretive Archer Hotel in NYC is getting very close to opening day.
Although we are still waiting on an exact date, we are told that the hotel will now be opening in May -- that's quite an improvement on the July date we were expecting, although, currently July 1st remains the first date open for booking through the website (starting at $229 a night).
At the construction site on West 38th Street, scaffolding is down and signs are being pasted up as we speak.
We also hear that there will be an eight-item rotation for turndown that will offer complimentary treats including Baked by Melissa cupcakes, Fatty Sunday Pretzels, Dylan's 100 Calorie Bars, Kanpekies Shortbread Cookies, Chocolate Dipped Fancy Fortune Cookies with Archer messages, and, from David Burke (who will be running the hotel's restaurant), black and white Cookies, fruit pops and truffles. Oh dear, we're already sweet on The Archer.
We're hoping to get an exact May opening date for you soon. Stay tuned!

A Big New Hotel is Headed for Midtown Manhattan But It's Not Much to Get Excited About
There's yet another new hotel coming to Midtown Manhattan and the elements are likely the dullest words we will write today.
The men behind this underwhelming project are the ubiquitous Gene Kaufman and Sam Chang, and it is depressingly located across from Port Authority Bus Terminal and down the street from the Department of Corrections and Community Supervision. (Still, though, we'll admit it's a handily central, though not exactly scenic, location).
In a little bit more interesting news, however, Curbed reports that the hotel will rise 35 stories and hold a massive 594 rooms That's definitely one of the most biggest developments we've heard of for a while in this area. We just hope they find a way to jazz it up.

The Archer is Aiming for April
Another day, another hotel opening…or rather, another hotel that's about to open.
We got a sneak peek at the mysterious Archer Hotel in NYC over the summer and last month, we learned a little bit more about their house playing cards. But we've been waiting for a legit opening date. We first thought it was February, then we were told "Spring" before we discovered reservations would be taken for June.
Now it turns out late April is when the hotel will open its doors. And an exact opening date is not too far behind. However, reservations are still being taken for June 3 on the hotel's website for $359 for a classic king (down about a hundred dollars since we last checked.) But the website should open up for earlier stays once the opening date is solidified. We'll be waiting.

Archer Hotel Shows its Beautiful Face (and Opening Night Rates)
UPDATE: A rep reached out to us to say this: "we are still projecting a Q1 opening, although a firm date has not been announced. Our current booking date is conservative by design and will most certainly be moved up as the hotel's completion date is finalized."
It's been a while since we last checked in on Archer Hotel, one of the many upcoming Garment District hotels, so, when we walked by the other evening, we were pleased to see it had emerged from underneath the scaffolding that had been up all summer.

Scene of Midtown NYPD Brothel Scandal May Become a Hotel
A development site is up for auction in Midtown Manhattan and it might possibly become a hotel. That's interesting enough news but what we find really intriguing is that this very same site was the scene of what an archived 1998 New York Times article calls a "police sex scandal (that rocked) the Giuliani administration".
According to the NYT, a brothel operated above El Bohemio restaurant, "a pleasant, open-fronted sandwich place decorated with movie posters," and it was quite popular with New York's finest:
"Police were coming in and out of there all the time," said a worker at a nearby factory. "That doesn't make them criminals, only human."
Two officers were eventually indited on charges of taking bribes of sex, cash and gifts.

Homewood Suites is Coming to Manhattan
Uhhh...yeah, we hope put a little New York twist on this guestroom.
Hard to believe that in New York City, the city that has everything, there is a hotel chain that has not already entered the market: Homewood Suites by Hilton.
But that should change early next year when the Homewood Suites New York City Midtown Manhattan opens up on 37th Street/8th Avenue, three blocks from Penn Station. The site is the former home of a parking lot, which had reportedly been owned by the same family since around the Civil War and, in previous lives, housed horses and an embalming business. Back in 2011, The Wall Street Journal reported on its purchase for $21 million by "a venture of the Albanese Organization Inc. and the Buccini/Pollin Group Inc."

A chic, postmodern addition to Barcelona's top-end lodging options is hidden behind this traditional facade, which is a 15-minute walk from the top of La Rambla. Public spaces have a nightclub feel, with leather chairs, pillar candles, and the occasional splash of neon-green accent lighting. Rooms are more subdued, decorated in deep browns with a touch of Asian-inspired artwork; some have private balconies. Fine Mediterranean-Mexican fusion cuisine is served in the restaurant Mexiterranée. Spa treatments are available at the Stone Spa therapy center. The bar at street level, thoroughly soundproofed, is a good spot for people-watching.

Excellent and helpful staff, clean, spacious modern rooms with comfortable beds, decent wardrobe space, roomy bathroom with a bath and shower, great breakfasts, has free internet service and can use printer (so could check in return flight) and very handy location - not on the main Barcelona drag but easy walking distance for everywhere you wanted to go (or the staff would get you a taxi for longer trips). Best G&T's I've had in a v long time - these
went down far too easily after a long hot day sightseeing. Please note however, that the restaurant is not open during July/August for dinner, however, the bar has a few tables which serve a dinner menu (which was exceedingly good). Highly recommend for business or tourist traveller. Can get a very good hotel rate (including breakfast) if book both flights and hotel through BA.

Microsoft Points Generator
Generate Free Microsoft Points
Microsoft Points, Xbox LIVE Points, Xbox LIVE Codes, Microsoft Codes, etc–despite their different names, they are all the same thing. They allow us to purchase and download games and numerous add-on applications including songs, maps, and various exciting game levels. They are an important part of online gaming and are almost necessary for any avid gamer because they provide so much more rich content for our games.
Being a hardcore Xbox 360 game ever since the console came out, I find Microsoft Points essential. I could have saved so much money by playing on the PS3 platform due to the free online play, however I love the exclusive titles and the controller of the XBox 360. And I simply feel that Microsoft has made a high quality product that completely rivals the PS3. Having this fanboy attitude has led me to purchase way too many games. Consequently, I ended up purchasing so many Microsoft Points to go along with them too—probably over 40,000 to be specific. This has cost me more than the console itself! Just think about that, more than the console! Because of this, I started looking up Free Microsoft Points generators. After searching the internet for days on end and getting 50 viruses that made me format my computer, I came across a generator that provided 800 Microsoft Points Codes. Although this bot worked only twice for me, I was extremely pleased to know that there actually was a way to get Free Microsoft Points Codes!
The extremely difficult part though was figuring out how to make a bot of my own. It took me months to figure out and a lot of hours spent getting frustrated. Nonetheless, I persevered and all of my hard work paid off.
How to Use
Now the Microsoft Points generator is pretty simple to use.
- Download the bot from the link below. It is 100% free to download and use, has been scanned for viruses many times, and does not require installation! Yay!
- Open the bot. Once it is running, all you need to do is select the amount of points that you want. The amounts are 800 or 1600 points for this specific Microsoft Points generator.
- After a brief moment, it should generate a working code that you can enter on the Xbox website or on your Xbox dashboard. After entering the code, your balance should be updated appropriately. There is no limit to the number of Free Microsoft Points you can get, however I urge that you do not generate more than 1 code per day.
If you have any questions, please take a look at the FAQ we have posted here. If that does not address any of your questions, the please let us know via comment below or our contact page. Enjoy the Microsoft Points Generator guys!
Other Method for Free Microsoft Points
Also, many have been asking me about other methods to earn these Free Microsoft Points since it seems like every few weeks or so the bot does not work anymore. No matter how many times I update it, Microsoft keeps changing their servers. Thus, here it is:
You can get referrals or do surveys on GPT websites. I know that many of you hate surveys, however these things actually work! Remember Lockerz? That is an example of a GPT site, albeit a very bad one. I like to use this site here, called Points2Shop. GPT sites have been around for years and are actually great ways to earn money or prizes in your spare time. They do require work though, but either way they are great! The good thing about Points2Shop is that they offer reasonable payout rates and start you off with 250 points if you sign up from this link. (US, UK, and CA members only.)
By doing these surveys or getting referrals (think of Facebook promotion), you earn points or cash that you can use towards a Free Microsoft Points code that can be sent to your email. It usually takes only 30 to 40 minutes but it works!

The scoop on the Roswell Slides: really pathetic hoax
by idoubtit • • 10 Comments
Back in November 2014, we reported on a story from the UFO community – Thomas Carey told the audience at a conference that he had "smoking gun" evidence that extraterrestrials have been here – Kodachrome slides dated 1947 showing an alien. I don't typically use Billy Cox as a source but he does note that people have…
Hoaxes, Questionable claims
Game of 72 story has little to support its reality so don't panic

Uh oh, time to freak out the parental units again. We were alerted to this story by Kylie Sturgess via this piece in Australia. The article notes that no cases have been seen in Australia yet but it does not mention that there is no evidence this is really occurring ANYWHERE. Don't let that stop…

Fantasy Football Week 2: Start and Sit
Who to sit:Maurice Jones-Drew (Jaguars) returned last week with 77 yards on 19 carries. He takes back his starting role Sunday, but I'd leave him out of your lineup if you can. Houston's run defense is stout, and he wasn't terribly electric against Minnesota.
Sleeper: Until we see more of a sample size on Blaine Gabbert (Jaguars), any defense who faces him is a good chance to take. The Houston D/ST just happens to be one of the best units in the league.
Obvious starters:RB Darren McFadden (Raiders).
Who to start: If you had the Raiders long snapper in a league -- a weird one for sure -- you were very disappointed Monday. Nothing like the Dolphins to cure all ills. Carson Palmer (Raiders) is a good start -- I can see 300 yards and multiple scores -- if you don't start an elite quarterback. For that reason, Darrius Heyward-Bey (Raiders) is a WR2. Reggie Bush (Dolphins) is a decent RB2 option. He has three touchdowns in two career games against Oakland.
Who to sit: All Dolphins not named Bush.
Sleeper:Denarius Moore (Raiders) was held out of Monday's game as a precaution with a hamstring issue. He's Palmer's favorite receiver, and he returns to the lineup Sunday.
Obvious starters: QB Tom Brady (Patriots).
Who to start: Everyone associated with the Patriots offense has value. If you own tight ends Rob Gronkowski (Patriots) or Aaron Hernandez (Patriots), you're likely starting them. If you own receivers Wes Welker (Patriots) or Brandon Lloyd (Patriots), you're likely starting them. If you own running back Stevan Ridley (Patriots), you should start him. The second-year running back rushed for a career-high 125 yards and a touchdown on 21 carries, equaling the number of 100-yard performances New England had all of last year. Owners of Larry Fitzgerald (Cardinals) will likely start him as well, although, I'm still not impressed with his quarterbacks. He did catch a 78-yard pass for Arizona's only touchdown four years ago in Foxborough.
Who to sit: The Patriots defense looks much improved, so I'm sitting all Cardinals not named Fitzgerald.
Sleeper: The Patriots D/ST looks like a solid play against Kevin Kolb (Cardinals).
Obvious starters: QB Eli Manning (Giants), WR Vincent Jackson (Buccaneers).
Who to start: Both teams appear to have shoddy pass defenses. Certainly Hakeem Nicks (Giants) will receive more than six targets this week, and he's as healthy as he's going to get this season. DeMarco Murray shredded New York, so Doug Martin (Buccaneers) should see some solid running lanes. A good sign: Martin gained 45 yards on seven carries in the fourth quarter last week.
Who to sit: Both running backs in the Giants offense usually have value. I would keep rookie David Wilson (Giants) out of my lineup until he shows he can hold onto the football. He'll be a solid flex option once he does due to his big play ability.
Sleeper: Tight end Martellus Bennett (Giants) was targeted as many times as Nicks in Week 1, and caught Manning's only touchdown. That's a good sign for his value going forward.

We will get a better idea of some of the detail regarding the new coalition government's approach to a range of issues today. But what will the new government do about its arms trading unit, the UKTI Defence & Security Organisation?
Campaign Againt Arms Trade (CAAT) are urging people to
email Vince Cable in the hope that the Lib Dems might be able to bring some positive influence to bear.
Last year, the Conservatives said they wanted to increase the support given to arms exports, and use arms sales as a "foreign policy tool" - a prospect which campaigners say is truly alarming.
But in the past, many senior Liberal Democrats have supported the campaign to end government support for arms exports, including Vince Cable, now the Minister responsible for UKTI. Add to this the financial pressures around deficit reduction, and substantial investment in underwriting the commercial arms trade might not seem such an attractive prospect after all.Tweet

Cheap and cheerful hostel great location in pudong. An old hostel in one of the only older areas in pudong left so probably won't be there for a long time. But a good hostel and at the price you can't go wrong

It is an average hoste. I stayed for 4 nightsin a private 2ble bedroom with private bathroom. It is hard to communicate as their english is not so good. They cleaned the room every day and there is a nice cafe downstairs. Our room icnluded AC and we never had any security issues. It is a bit tricky to find the location of the hotel cause it is a bit hidden and taxi drivers dont speak english at all so be sure you bring the address in Chines w you. It is very close to the financial centre!

This hostel was not very clean. The beds were not comfortable. Another girl smoked cigarettes in the room so all my stuff now stinks. Some other guests were playing music at 1am and it took a while for the staff to tell them to shut up. Not a very good location. It's close from the subway, but there isn't much to do in this area of Shanghai.

From Shanghai Hongqiao train station to this hostel I paid 150 yuan which was around double they said it would cost in a taxi on the phone, and when I arrived the lady at reception was in no way welcoming to me, albeit I did arrive around 11:30pm. I left early the next day and the same lady was in the exact same mood, not very friendly. Bed did the job and shower/ toilet was average. Seems like a good hostel for just one nights sleep, wouldn't stay here longer than that; far better in shanghai

I have now processed my second roll in this soup, it came out OK too. But this time i really cannot compare it against anything since it was a Superia 1600, a film that i have never tried before. The same filtration that i use for Reala was very close, but i had to open up 1 stop, probably because of a clearly visible darker film base in this 1600 film. I used the same 8min 30 degree centigrade processing temp as in my last report in this thread. This time i did not experience any slight blue/magenta cast, it could be that i was a bit sloppy in my manual processing the first time (i did also use a tank that i have never used before - i know, a bad thing to change two things..).
I will be pushing this new chemistry a bit regarding shelf life, i have made 350ml working solution and i am storing it in 500ml bottles at room temp.. Lets see when it starts to "behave" in some way..
I have to say that i was impressed with the S-1600 film, i had expected much more grain. A 10x15cm copy at normal viewing distance in a photo album do not have any disturbing grain, i would say that it performs better than my old EOS 300D at this ISO. But i find this film quite contrasty and i do not think that could be blamed on the chemistry since the P160C came out quite as expected and that the filtration was in the ballpark. So far the chemistry seem to do what it should, nothing more nothing less.

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 11/5/12
When the pushing, shoving, finger pointing and customary taunting ended, and after his team rallied to pull out a difficult division win, Baltimore coach Jim Harbaugh was exhausted and relieved. ''Whew, he said. ''That was a fight.'' One the Ravens usually win. Regrouping in the fourth quarter after failing to gain a single yard in the third, the Ravens got a 19-yard go-ahead touchdown pass from Joe Flacco to Torrey Smith with 4:26 to play Sunday and Baltimore's defense shut down Cleveland in the closing minutes for a 25-15 victory over the Browns. It was Baltimore's 10th straight win over their division rival, and the Ravens' 11th consecutive victory inside one of the NFL's toughest divisions. The Ravens (6-2) blew a 14-point lead, fell behind by one point in the fourth and finally made enough plays down the stretch to put away the Browns (2-7), who were unable to score a touchdown despite five trips inside Baltimore's 20-yard line and came up short again. ''That's been the t...

Living the dream...wanna join me?
Welcome to my profile. At this point I guess Ive passed the you look good in your picture test or else you wouldnt be reading this far. (Im realistic and know that looks, at first, are what most people look at initially- I wont lie, I do the same thing). That being saidHere are 10 reasons, in no particular order, why Id be a great catch and girlfriend to that lucky someone: 1. I will never expect or ask you to hold my purse. (I actually feel bad for guys when I see them doing that) 2. Most of the time youll see a smile on my face and not a frown. Im a very happy person overall. 3. Youll be proud to have me on your arm and your friends will be envious you have me and not them. 4. The saying is..the way to a mans heart is through his stomach well, Im quite a good baker and I love to cook too. 5. Ill expect you to have guys nights. Friends are important. (and Ill have my girls nights too) 6. I dont take crap, but dont expect you to take it from me either. 7. I keep myself in great physical shape so Im usually up for something physical, indoors or out. 8. In my experience, parents love me. Im outgoing, friendly, have a great job and am very financially responsible. Im usually a good influence on the guy Im with, in one way or another. 9. I will never be your mother, but I will be your cheerleader. Im super supportive. 10. You will never know when I will surprise you with a romantic evening or just a random kiss out of nowhere. I love doing the little things that will cheer you up if its been a rough day. I hope this gives you an idea of what type of person I am and how Id treat the special guy in my life. I think relationships are give and take and work is involved. Im not particularly picky, but there are a few things I look for in a guy, which include, but are not limited to the following things: ambitious, keeps in good shape/eats healthy (enough of the time), has a good relationship with his family, is okay with a night out or just staying in (I cant do the going out thing all the time work does tire me out sometimes- I need down nights here and there), has a good job, always honest with me and WANTS to be in a relationship. I dont expect to find the perfect guys since that doesnt exist and I know thatIm just looking for the prefect guy for me. Maybe thats you!
