Will 'Harry Potter' And Newest Royal Share A Birthday?
Since there's no news just yet from the London hospital where the Duchess of Cambridge is said to be in labor, we've gone looking for other famous folks who were born on July 22.
According to Biography.com, they include:
-- Actor Albert Brooks (born in 1947).
-- Funk pioneer George Clinton (1941).
-- Designer Oscar de la Renta (1932).
-- Former senator and 1996 GOP presidential nominee Bob Dole (1923).
-- Kennedy family matriarch Rose Kennedy (1890-1995).
What really catches our eye, though, is who the newest royal will share a birthday with if Kate doesn't give birth until Tuesday:
-- Daniel Radcliffe (1989).
That would be the actor who is known the world over for portraying Harry Potter in the movies.
How appropriate would that be? Well, Potter is something of a prince in J.K. Rowling's world of wizards.
(Related note about who you'll come across with any search for "famous" people born on July 22: Being born Tuesday would also nudge Prince William and Kate's baby one day past someone else's birth date: Boston bombings defendant Dzhokhar Tsarnaev turns 20 today.)

- - Mantus Anchor Review (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/my-boats-gear-com/102803-mantus-anchor-review.html)
Mantus Anchor Review

The Mantus anchor is similar in design to other modern anchors of the Bruce/Claw type or Scoop as they are sometimes called. They have in common a Roll Bar and Flukes which angle upwards.

The CQR is one of the most common anchors you will see on boats but it's not the best. The CQR is a Plough type anchor where the Flukes angle downwards. Countless anchors have been tested over the years and everyone is surprised by the CQR failure.

Modern anchors have made huge leaps in performance be it setting or holding power over the CQR. The roll bar is one breakthrough which flips the anchor so the tip can gig in. The next is the shape of the flukes which aid in setting and holding power.

 Mantus Anchor

The Mantus Anchor is one of the modern Claw anchors which include the Rocna and Manson Supreme.

Mantus Design Features;

Roll bar to roll anchor upright

Sharp thicker tip for penetration

Thicker Heavier tip to lower CoG

Flukes angle up for holding power

Construction
Most obvious is the roll bar and flukes which are bolted to the shank. This enables the Mantus to be dismantled; 6 bolts 4 for shank and 2 for roll bar. The shank is welded to what they call a shank boot which is bolted to the fluke. The fluke or spade is pressed steel.

Performance

The Mantus Anchor belongs to the Claw family such as the; Rocna and Manson Supreme.

Both of these anchors have good setting and holding power. Online reviews show the Mantus also has these qualities plus the ability to disassemble.

You can see how these anchors perform in the Boat Anchors article

In the article you will see a reference to the Yachting Monthly test in 2006. In these tests 4 anchors held to 5,000 lbs. They were the Rocna, Manson supreme, Fortress and Spade anchors. Three out of these were Claw type anchors.

Manufacturers Comments

DIGS LIKE NO OTHER The Mantus Anchor is designed to penetrate dense grassy bottoms and set with unparalleled holding power. When tested, our anchors set faster and deeper than any other tested anchor, including Rocna, Manson Supreme, Bulwagga, Fortress, Bruce, CQR and Danforth anchors.

EASY TO STORE The Mantus anchor lineup simply has the best boat anchors available. Whether you are a long range cruiser, racing or going out for a day sail. The Mantus breaks down for easy storage, so you can store one or two as spares without taking up much needed boat space.

BUILT STRONG
Formed out of high quality steel plate. Contains no cast parts.
Shank and shank boot are welded from top and bottom.
Shank and roll bar are bolted to the fluke.
ASTM certified steel bolts are oversized with a large margin to ensure safety.
Although the shank is attached to the fluke with 4 bolts, a single bolt has sufficient strength to handle the maximum expected load on the anchor.
Stainless Steel anchors are made of 316L Stainless and hand polished to a # 7 finish.
In the steel version every part of the anchor system is hot-dipped galvanized for corrosion protection.
Sharp-headed nose is precision machined to achieve the perfect chisel shape to achieve maximum penetrating power.

LIFE TIME WARRANTY Mantus Anchors offers a lifetime warranty on its anchors

Mantus Anchors

The Mantus Anchor is a multipurpose, high-performance, new generation boat anchor. Over the last decade, tests performed by Cruising World, Practical Sailor, Sail and PMY magazines proved that new-generation type boat anchors outperform the traditional designs. Designed to set in very hard or grassy bottoms, The Mantus Boat Anchor has been extensively tested against the competition and will provide you with the best performance, guaranteed. No other boat anchor on the market can set as rapidly, reliably and securely.

My grand kids loved the play set. The outdoor grill and fireplace along with the outdoor fridges was great. When we had any questions Sharlene was great with getting back with us.

"We rented this house in the summer of 2009 and were so happy to hear it was available for out most recent visit. Tabatha is a fabulous communicator and renting couldn't have been easier. The house is in a great location. 30 minutes to the beach, less than 15 to the Disneyland parking lot. Nice restaurants close by. The house itself was perfect for our family of 4. The whole house has been redecorated since our last visit and is even more inviting. We felt right at home and had everything we could have needed. Our kids have said we will only stay in this house for every Southern California trip so I know we'll be back!"Guest: Lisa B. Date of Stay: March 2015 Review Submitted: March 20, 2015View listing
"RETURN VISIT: Please see my prior review, posted 20-MAY-2012 Lynn and her team continue to provide impressive service in support of this high quality VRBO property. The rental process is trouble-free and the home, itself, continues to earn 5 stars re cleanliness, layout, amenities, neighborhood and convenience to popular Orange County sites. A number of other reviewers noted the cleanliness of the property. Once again, this property rates in the top-tier of that category. Having stayed in other properties around the country, it is reassuring to know that one can simply arrive at this home and "get to work" relaxing rather than having to spend the first night cleaning and re-cleaning as has been our experience at other rentals. I heartily recommend this property for any family seeking a spacious, well-maintained "home away from home". Kudos, again, to Lynn and her team. We look forward to our next stay."Guest: Doc Date of Stay: March 2015 Review Submitted: April 11, 2015View listing

The first comprehensive introduction to the thought of Elisée Reclus, the great anarchist geographer and political theorist, Anarchy, Geography, Modernity presents his groundbreaking critique of all forms of domination: not only capitalism, the state, and authoritarian religion, but also patriarchy, racism, technological domination, and the domination of nature. Not only an anarchist, but also a radical feminist, antiracist, ecologist, animal rights advocate, cultural radical, nudist, and vegetarian, Reclus' ideas are presented both through detailed exposition and analysis and in extensive translations of key texts, most appearing in English for the first time. The work elucidates Reclus' greatest achievement, a sweeping historical and theoretical synthesis recounting the story of the earth and humanity as an epochal struggle between freedom and domination, and his crucial insights on the interrelation between personal and small-group transformation, broader cultural change, and large-scale social organization are also explored.

The National Association of State Workforce Agencies said in a letter that some states may find the plan's verification requirements too costly and onerous and try to opt out of it.
The bill's requirements "would cause considerable delays in the implementation of the program and increased administrative issues and costs," NASWA President Mark Henry said in the letter to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell.
The Senate is expected to take up in coming weeks a bipartisan deal reached last week for a bill to renew the jobless benefits for the first five months of 2014, providing an average of $300 per week into the hands of long-term unemployed workers. The checks would be retroactive to Dec. 29, 2013.
For Boehner, whose House Republican caucus has shown little interest in the extending unemployment benefits, the letter from the state officials' group bolsters the case for opposing the Senate plan. He said it was "cause for serious concern."
Boehner said Republicans would still look at an unemployment benefits extension bill from Democrats that is "fiscally responsible" and helps to create more private-sector jobs.
"There is no evidence that the bill being rammed through the Senate by Leader Reid meets that test, and according to these state directors, the bill is also simply unworkable," Boehner said in a statement.
The $10 billion cost of the Senate extension measure would be offset by other savings, including allowing companies to apply accounting procedures for pension contributions that would boost their profit, resulting in increased federal revenue. It also contains a provision that would prohibit payment of unemployment benefits to anyone who has earned income of at least $1 million in the previous year.
Henry, who also serves as director of the Mississippi Department of Employment Security, said the state workforce agencies were not taking a position for or against the extended benefits but were pointing out difficulties in the proposed legislation, including the inability to verify whether beneficiaries met requirements that they sought work during the first few months of 2014.
Under normal circumstances, beneficiaries report weekly on their job search activities, but this has stopped in many states since the checks stopped flowing in January.
Antiquated computers that cannot be quickly reprogrammed represent a challenge and the "millionaire provision" is problematic because it is based on income tax return data, which unemployment agencies do not collect, Henry said.
Determining eligibility under this means-testing provision would cost states money and the proposed legislation provides no federal funds for this.

Pros: location
Cons: Room was a little stuffy, it was warm and on the first floor. Staff was a little aloof, but perhaps it is the British culture...
Location: British Museum is two blocks away, cafes and underground nearby.
Hotel was really close to the British Museum and to transportation. It was also very conveniently located for grabbing breakfast on our way to the underground.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Grange Buckingham. Hotel was in an excellent location for walking to sightsee, catching the tube and local restaurants. Staff was very friendly and accommodating! Would definitely stay there again.

cozy placePosted Mar 14, 2015 on Hotels
I knew the room was small so it was no problem. it waw very cozy and warm. the location is not as muh as I expected. it would be better if it's closer to Oxford circus or direct to paddington station ( which the stop from Heathrow airport) and the window view was good. generally the view from single rooms is awful, but I could enjoy trees and sky and good view.

とても快適な滞在Posted Mar 12, 2015 on Hotels
最寄り駅は大変便利なピカデリー線、大英博物館や手頃なカフェ、スーパーも近所にあるため、立地はとても良いです。 ホテルのスタッフの方もとても感じが良かったです。 お部屋はシングルだったためかやや狭めではありますが綺麗ですし、簡易キッチンがあり、レンジやティーセット一式があり、有り難いです。 Wifiは高速Wifiは有料でしたが、無料でもやや遅くとも問題なく行えました。

The ONLY drawback was the check in. Though your girl could see that I was trembling with fatigue, she insisted on me checking in via a slightly cumbersome process while standing at the reception desk. A wee rest for 2 or 3 minutes would have made all the difference. Many of your staff are clueless about nearby spots in London. Surprising. The best members of your staff are the Srilankan girl and the boy from the South of India.
for Getaway With Friendsby Judy from New York
Excellent choice.Posted Feb 27, 2015 on Hotels
We had a great experience. The room was very clean, the service was excellent. The staff were very friendly and helpful. This is a great location for everything; we were most interested in the British Museum and it was practically across the street from the hotel. Lots of restaurants available. I will definitely return to this location.

Buy Paul Rudnick's New Book!
If you don't know who Paul Rudnick is, I'll come over and personally take away your gay card and your Britney collection too.
He's a well known playwright (Jeffrey) and screenwriter (Addams Family Values, In & Out), and now the effortlessly witty author has a book out--an essay collection called I Shudder: And Other Reactions To Life, Death, and New Jersey--and you absolutely must get it. I promise it'll go with your apartment.
The book is hilarious and wise, including Paul's recollections of his early days in Manhattan, his experiences with his rivetingly haggling Aunt Lil, and his ventures in Hollywood, where he hung with caftan-wearing producer Alan Carr, big star Bette Midler, and even some normal people.
So buy the book already. You will choke with laughter and wisdom.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
Who is to blame for the rise of ISIL?
03 Nov 2013 20:39 GMT | Politics, Africa, Libya
Eastern Libya has declared an autonomous regional government with an official ceremony, challenging the country's weak central government that failed to assume unifying power over rebels and various tribes since the 2011 war toppled Muammar Gaddafi.
Leaders of an autonomy movement met on Sunday in the small town of Ajdabiya to launch the government under the name of Barqa, or Cyrenaica as it is also known, supporters said.
A pro-federalist television station showed more than 20 ministers taking the oath at a podium decorated with a Cyrenaica flag.
They were joined by the tribal leader Ibrahim Jathran, the former head of Libya's Petroleum Protection Force in charge of guarding oil facilities, who defected in the summer and seized the biggest ports Ras Lanuf and Es-Sider with his troops.
Jathran was standing next to the self-declared Prime Minister Abd-Rabbo al-Barassi, a defected air force commander.
Symbolic blow
The announcement is a symbolic blow to efforts by the Tripoli government to reopen eastern oil ports and fields blocked since summer by rebels and tribes demanding a greater share of power and oil wealth.
It has no practical meaning, but is sure to worsen ties between the east and Tripoli, which has rejected the self-rule notion.
Officials were not immediately available for comment.
Lawlessness has blighted large areas of the OPEC producer since ousting Gaddafi in 2011. The government has been unable to rein in rebel groups and armed tribes.
Prime Minister Ali Zeidan had been seeking contact with the east in the past few days trying to reopen blocked oil ports in an area home to 60 percent of the country's oil production.
The protesters and strikes at ports and oil fields have knocked down crude production to some 10 percent of Libya's capacity of 1.25 million barrels a day.
The North African country used to pump 1.4 million bpd until the strikes started.

Giving Up Sugar Support Thread #4

My choice was a sandwich that had a sugary relish or a chocolate... so I had neither. It was fine, I had something when I got home.
But I found skipping meals = bad things, but that is gall bladder related. But that is based on one episode!
Posted 01 April 2012 - 07:39 PM
I think that is where i am hyperprepared!!!!! I always have something in my bag that i can eat. it comes from having kids i guess. right now in my bag i have an aldi nut bar (the hillcrest nut delight bars), dextrose lollies (ds is toilet training and needs a lot of encouragement) and a small container of peanuts. oh and a little bit of dextrose powder for if my coffee needs it.
the nappy bag has snack pack of chips, snack pack of popcorn, the lowest sugar muesli bar i could find (coles brand... taste ok but not for me... more as a back up for the kids) and plain milk popper.
if i'm not prepared i end up spending too much on things when we are out.
Posted 01 April 2012 - 08:14 PM
Hi all, can I join in? I'm going to try and read back gradually but thought I'd jump in...
I have been toying with this on and off for a few months. I've been on a diet pretty much since I was 18 and I'm now 33 and weigh the same as I did then.... I was doing the 1 million kg challenge and as with every diet, it worked for a few weeks and then got too hard. I heard David Gillespie on the radio talking about his new book (it was on radio national last Monday night and is on podcast) and read some more... and we're in! DH is doing it too, not that he has to.
We're going to gradually work our way in. I haven't bought the books but am looking at Sarah Wilson's site so might do that. Just really wary of another fad so kind of want to do it my own way. I did the groceries yesterday and for the first time in forever bought full fat cheese and milk, butter and cream. Will take some getting used to! So anyway, will read back but very excited to find a support thread!

I made my easy lemon cake sugar free this arvo and it tasted exactly like it normally does! I am going to have a go of lemon cream cheese icing to go with it!
I've discovered that my taste buds don't like cocoa and dextrose together. It's not that the dextrose isn't sweet enough, but it ends up tasting really sweet and weird, to me! The lemon cake is AWESOME though! Exactly how it is with sugar
I'm about to make the icing... I'll bbiab, if you want the recipe let me know

Welcome samanthan and your DH!
I have been reading and not posting much. The guilt over eating chocolate Easter eggs So I have a filthy cold/virus and AF and I just thought eff it, nows the time if anytime was the 'right' time to snaffle some of the kids Easter eggs and well tbh I wasn't impressed. Maybe I can't taste much, but after eating a handful I'm not tempted again. I hope.
How is everyone else coping with avoiding the Easter chocathon?
Posted 03 April 2012 - 08:35 PM
Ok, I made the lemon cream cheese icing and iced them, and shared one with Mum, yummy!!!!
Easy Lemon Cake
1/2 cup butter
1 1/2 cups SR flour
1 cup dextrose
rind of 1 lemon
3/4 cup milk (in the normal recipe that is 1/2 cup, but it needed the extra liquid for the dextrose!)
2 eggs beaten
* Melt butter and allow to cool
* Add butter to rest of ingredients
* Beat on medium for 5 minutes, mixture should be like a whipped consistency.
* Cook on 160 for around 20mins. Check for when they spring back or are browning. (I started checking at 15mins)
This made 18 decent cupcakes (in texas muffin tray size). Mine were really flat. Or you can make a thin 9" or a thicker 8" round.
Lemon Cream Cheese Icing
(this is my modification of a recipe posted on the Sweet Poison FB page)
* 120gm cream cheese
* 60gm butter
* 1 1/2 cup dextrose (original recipe calls for 2 cups, but I found 1 1/2 sweet enough, so you can check what you prefer!)
* Juice of 1 lemon (maybe more depending on how juicy the lemon is!)
Cream butter and cream cheese. Add dextrose slowly, then lemon juice. Consistency should be spreadable.

Is the Bulla ice cream the one in the blue container? If so, I noticed after examining the ingredients really closely that the first 2 ingredients are fresh whole milk and liquid sugar. I didn't see them at first as they are around the corner from the remainder of the ingredients. I hope this isn't the one you were talking about as it is so delish!
All's going well here. We're not doing Easter for us this year, just the kids. I've bought them a carton of eggs to share so they can have a small amount of chocolate at once and only a few eggs in total. I was going to buy sugar free ones but couldn't decide what was worse for them - the fructose or the artificial sweeteners. In the end I went with the fructose.
Willanddaisysmum, if you're insulan resistant and have PCOS you'd benefit from eating LCHF (start here for some great info http://www.dietdoctor.com/lchf) Eating this way keeps your blood sugar at a constant level, therefore your body doesn't need to produce insulin. I eat this way and feel better than I have in years. It does turn everything you've ever learnt about nutrition on it's head though so please read with an open mind. It's a great natural progression from going sugar free.
Posted 04 April 2012 - 06:17 AM
Thanks so much for the recipe Pussydids, I've not ventured into dextrose yet but I have found chocolate natvia stuff pretty awful. I love a good lemon cake I've also since found the Sarah Wilson cheesecake which looks pretty good too. LOL, would it be wrong to go without all sugar, including fruit for 3 weeks, and then have 2 birthday cakes?
Lovemy3kids, I think you might have me mistaken with mum2jp, but thank you for the link anyway. I'm a naturopathy student and am a bit (a lot) of a nutrition nerd, so I'm always up for new information

Oh dear god. Please say this isn't so! I'll have to check next time we go to the shops. I've been going off the list of ingredients in big type down the front which doesn't have any fructose based sugars. I'm going to be full of sads if it is a liquid fructose. I went straight to the bulla site and their spec sheet concurs with you, but I'm sure I never saw it originally!
I'm avoiding easter chocolate by eating easter buns I know they're just as bad, but I can stop more easily after 1 as my body recognises all the bread fibres and goes "WOAH THERE NELLY". It's closer to being real food, and I think they're yummier than the chocolates anyway!
Posted 04 April 2012 - 10:24 AM
I am coping with easter by only having 70% dark chocolate. This way its more decadent and i only eat a teeny bit.....
no hot cross buns for me!!!! not so far anyway!
Posted 04 April 2012 - 12:58 PM
You were right. Bulla were SNEAKY BUGGERS and hid the sugar around the corner of the label, not where the rest of the ingredients were.

Posted 04 April 2012 - 03:57 PM
I'm contemplating simply putting tubs of double cream in the freezer. that'll be like icecream, right?
Posted 04 April 2012 - 04:09 PM
Um. I think it would be a little too icy. Also, freezing reduces the flavour and sweetness of foods, so I would worry it'd be a bit tasteless. Maybe add some vanilla bean and a few drops of stevia before you freeze it?
Posted 04 April 2012 - 04:32 PM
I hoped I had the wrong sort of ice cream. Back to making my own with dextrose. At least there is an alternative.
Posted 04 April 2012 - 08:12 PM
Does anyone know if Loving Earth chocolate is allowed? When I enquired at the health shop, the attendant said that one variety has no fructose, but agave. I know agave isn't recommended, so I steered clear of that one.
We then found a variety (Organic Coconut Mylk) which is 53% raw cacao, sweetened with organic evaporated coconut nectar. There is no agave or other sweeteners on the ingredients list.
Is this ok?
Posted 04 April 2012 - 08:34 PM
sexycat - yeah it would freeze ok but prob no flavour. even just some vanilla would do. just try one tub at a time. maybe freeze in single serves... it is hard to scoop!
Posted 04 April 2012 - 09:25 PM
Loveyourwork - I'm pretty sure the evaporated coconut nectar is coconut sugar, which contains fructose.
Posted 04 April 2012 - 09:56 PM
Howdy... Just wondering if you sugar-free girls use xylitol at all as an alternative?
Also, why not Agave Syrup in preference to Rice Malt Syrup? I was told by my health shop guru that the rice one is a higher GI than agave.
Informative reading, thanks!
Posted 05 April 2012 - 06:28 AM
1/2adozen, I think the key is to understand the metabolism of different types of sugars, what the end metabolites are, and how those effect your body, rather than opting for natural, sugar-free or low-GI for example. The aim of the Sweet Poison plan is to avoid fructose specifically, and as such, you can eat pure glucose, but sugars that contain or are metabolised to fructose are not OK. This isn't necessarily about the "healthiness" or nutrient content of the sugar replacement you are using.
Xylitol for example metabolises to a substance that acts just like fructose and is therefore out. Erythritol, however, is a good alternative because it is metabolised differently by the body. Natvia, available at Safeway, is a blend of stevia and Erythritol.
Agave is very high in fructose, and therefore out, just as fruit juice concentrates, dehydrated sugar cane juice, coconut palm sugar all are as well. Pure rice malt syrup, however, is fructose free and OK. In the Sweet Poison Quit Plan there is a list of all the ingredients to avoid, if that's helpful.
Loveyourwork, I am pretty sure coconut nectar is the sap of the coconut flower, and contains about 1.5% fructose. It is the same thing as coconut sugar, just a different name.

oh noes bulla!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *crieS*
Actually, I'm not that fussed, I hard eat ice cream anymore LOL I have had a 2L container of it 4 weeks and it's still more than 1/2 full.
What about this with dextrose instead of caster sugar?
Posted 05 April 2012 - 08:53 AM
I'm so sorry Pussydid I have been leading everyone astray because BULLA IS TEH SNEAKIES!!!
The being said, we haven't had it here for about 3 weeks anyway and DH has come off his plateau and started losing weight again. coincidence anyone? lol
I personally seem to be done with weight loss. I took an adventure down to 52.5 the other day, but i'm back up at 53. I suspect that was the "not eating because i'm dying of man flu" more than anything.
On the upside, the manflu only lasted 3 days, and the person I got it off is still trying to shake it off, so I'm reasonably pleased - it appears fructose free won't stop me from getting sick, but it'll mend me up nice and fast. I'll take it!

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
12 Feb 2011 06:34 GMT | Middle East
Ahead of protests planned to take place in Bahrain next week, the nation's king has said he will give 1,000 dinars ($2,650) to each Bahraini family.
Friday's announcement on state media came as the latest step that Sunni rulers have taken to appease the majority Shia public.
Activists have called for protests in Bahrain, starting from Monday, to demand political, social and economic reforms. The demonstrations will coincide with the tenth anniversary of Bahrain's constitution.
Although most analysts do not see any immediate risk of revolt after popular uprisings toppled the leaders of Tunisia and Egypt, the small island nation is considered the most vulnerable to unrest among Gulf Arab countries.
The Bahraini government has made several concessions in recent weeks, such as higher social spending and offering to release some minors arrested during a security crackdown against some Shi'ite groups last August.
'Sign of appreciation'
The Bahraini News Agency (BNA) reported that the financial concessions were to mark the anniversary of a national charter for reforms.
"On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the National Action Charter and as a sign of appreciation for the people of Bahrain who have approved it, King Hamad bin Issa al-Khalifa has ordered 1,000 dinars to be paid to every Bahraini family," Friday's report on BNA said.
Bahrain is one of the few Arab countries where the majority practices Shia Islam.
Tensions between the ruling family and the Shia majority population are usually at a low boil, although there were some clashes ahead of election last October.
It is not yet clear how widespread next week's protests will be, but analysts and diplomats say the Shia opposition group Wefaq will be waiting to see how many concessions the government is prepared to make.
Although Bahrain has a parliamentary system, many Shias feel elections have only served to co-opt them into the political system and did not improve their access to government jobs and services.
