Vickers Wellington
The Vickers Wellington was a British twin-engine, long range medium bomber designed in the mid-1930s at Brooklands in Weybridge, Surrey, by Vickers-Armstrongs' Chief Designer, R. K. Pierson. It was widely used as a night bomber in the early years of the Second World War, before being displaced as a bomber by the larger four-engine "heavies" such as the Avro Lancaster. The Wellington continued to serve throughout the war in other duties, particularly as an anti-submarine aircraft. It was the only British bomber to be produced for the entire duration of the war. The Wellington was one of two bombers named after Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, the other being the Vickers Wellesley. Template:TOC limit
Design and development
The Wellington used a geodesic construction method, which had been devised by Barnes Wallis inspired by his work on airships, and had previously been used to build the single-engine Wellesley light bomber. The fuselage was built up from 1650 elements, consisting of aluminium alloy (duralumin) W-beams that were formed into a large framework. Wooden battens were screwed onto the aluminium, and these were covered with Irish linen, which, once treated with many layers of dope, formed the outer skin of the aircraft. The metal lattice gave the structure tremendous strength, because any one of the stringers could support some of the weight from even the opposite side of the aircraft. Blowing out one side's beams would still leave the aircraft as a whole intact; as a result, Wellingtons with huge areas of framework missing continued to return home when other types would not have survived; the dramatic effect was enhanced by the doped fabric skin burning off, leaving the naked frames exposed (see photo).
In one case, a German Bf 110 night-fighter attacked a Wellington returning from an attack on Münster, Germany, causing a fire at the rear of the starboard engine. Co-pilot Sergeant James Allen Ward climbed out of the fuselage in flight, kicked holes in the doped fabric of the wing for foot and hand holds to reach the starboard engine, and physically smothered the burning upper wing covering. He and the aircraft returned home safely, and Ward was awarded the Victoria Cross for his actions.<ref name="Richards Hardest p115">Richards 1995, p. 115.</ref>
The geodesic structure also gave a very strong but light structure for its large size, which gave the Wellington a load and range to power ratio advantage over similar aircraft, without sacrificing robustness or protective devices such as armour plate or self-sealing fuel tanks.Template:Citation needed
However, the construction system also had a distinct disadvantage in that it took considerably longer to build a Wellington than other designs using monocoque construction techniques. Also, it was difficult to cut holes into the fuselage to provide additional access or equipment fixtures. The Leigh light, for instance, was deployed through the mounting for the absent FN9 ventral turret. Nevertheless, in the late 1930s Vickers succeeded in building Wellingtons at a rate of one a day at Weybridge and 50 a month at the Chester factory (located at Broughton in North Wales). Peak wartime production in 1942 saw monthly rates of 70 achieved at Weybridge, 130 at Broughton and 102 at Blackpool.
The Wellington went through a total of 16 variants during its production life plus a further two training conversions after the war. The prototype serial K4049 designed to satisfy Ministry Specification B.9/32, first flew as a Type 271 (and initially named Crecy) from Brooklands on 15 June 1936 with chief test pilot Joseph Summers as pilot. After many changes to the design, it was accepted on 15 August 1936 for production with the name Wellington. The first model was the Wellington Mark I, powered by a pair of 1,050 hp (780 kW) Bristol Pegasus engines, of which 180 were built, 150 for the Royal Air Force and 30 for the Royal New Zealand Air Force (which were transferred to the RAF on the outbreak of war and used by 75 Squadron). The Mark I first entered service with No. 9 Squadron RAF in October 1938. Improvements to the turrets resulted in 183 Mark IA Wellingtons, which equipped the RAF Bomber Command heavy bomber squadrons at the outbreak of war. The Wellington was initially outnumbered by its twin-engine contemporaries, the Handley Page Hampden and the Armstrong Whitworth Whitley, but ultimately outlasted them in productive service. The number of Wellingtons built totalled 11,461 of all versions, the last of which was rolled out on 13 October 1945.
Construction record
As a propaganda and morale boosting exercise, in October 1943 workers at the Vickers Broughton factory gave up their weekend to build Wellington number LN514 against the clock. The bomber was assembled in new world record time of 23 hours 50 minutes, and took off after 24 hours 48 minutes, beating the previous record of 48 hours set by an American factory in California. The bomber was usually built within 60 hours. The effort was filmed for the Ministry of Information, forming the basis of a newsreel Worker's Week-End, broadcast in Britain and America.<ref name=beeb>"Building a bomber plane in just a day." BBC News Magazine, 13 September 2010.</ref><ref>"Workers weekend." The National Archives. Retrieved: 23 September 2011.</ref>
Operational history
The first RAF bombing attack of the war was made by Wellingtons of No. 9 and No. 149 Squadrons, along with Bristol Blenheims, on German shipping at Brunsbüttel on 4 September 1939. During this raid, the two Wellingtons became the first aircraft shot down on the Western Front. Numbers 9, 37 and 149 Squadrons saw action on 18 December 1939 on a mission against German shipping on the Schillig Roads and Wilhelmshaven. Luftwaffe fighters destroyed 12 of the bombers and badly damaged three others; thus highlighting the aircraft's vulnerability to attacking fighters, having neither self-sealing fuel tanks nor sufficient defensive armament. In particular, while the aircraft's nose and tail turrets protected against attacks from the front and rear, the Wellington had no defences against attacks from the beam and above, as it had not been believed that such attacks were possible owing to the high speed of aircraft involved.<ref name="Richards v1 p46">Richards 1953, p. 46.</ref> As a consequence, Wellingtons were switched to night operations and participated in the first night raid on Berlin on 25 August 1940. In the first 1,000-aircraft raid on Cologne, on 30 May 1942, 599 out of 1,046 aircraft were Wellingtons (101 of them were flown by Polish aircrew).
With Bomber Command, Wellingtons flew 47,409 operations, dropped 41,823 tons (37,941 tonnes) of bombs and lost 1,332 aircraft in action.
Coastal Command Wellingtons carried out anti-submarine duties and sank their first enemy vessel on 6 July 1942. DWI versions (see below) fitted with a 48 ft (14.63 m) diameter metal hoop were used for exploding enemy mines by generating a powerful magnetic field as it passed over them. In 1944, Wellingtons of Coastal Command were deployed to Greece, and performed various support duties during the RAF involvement in the Greek Civil War. A few Wellingtons were operated by the Hellenic Air Force.
While the Wellington was superseded in the European Theatre, it remained in operational service for much of the war in the Middle East, and in 1942, Wellingtons based in India became the RAF's first long-range bomber operating in the Far East. It was particularly effective with the South African Air Force in North Africa. This versatile aircraft also served in anti-submarine duties with 26 Squadron SAAF based in Takoradi, Gold Coast (now known as Ghana).
In late 1944, a radar-equipped Wellington was modified for use by the RAF's Fighter Interception Unit as what would now be described as an Airborne Early Warning and Control aircraft.<ref name="bga">Jackson 2007, p. 217.</ref> It operated at an altitude of some Template:Convert over the North Sea to control de Havilland Mosquito fighters intercepting Heinkel He 111 bombers flying from Dutch airbases and carrying out airborne launches of the V-1 flying bomb.
The Wellington is listed in the appendix to the novel KG 200 as one flown by the German secret operations unit KG 200, which also tested, evaluated and sometimes clandestinely operated captured enemy aircraft during the Second World War.<ref>Gilman and Clive 1978, p. 314.</ref> Template:Clearleft

- Wellington IA serial number N2980 is on display at Brooklands Museum at Brooklands, Surrey. Built at Brooklands and first flown in November 1939, this aircraft took part in the RAF's daylight bombing raids on Germany early in the Second World War but later lost power during a training flight on 31 December 1940 and ditched in Loch Ness. All the occupants survived except the rear gunner, who was killed when his parachute failed to open. The aircraft was recovered from the bottom of Loch Ness in September 1985 and restored in the late 1980s and 1990s. A new Wellington exhibition around N2980 was officially opened by Robin Holmes (who led the recovery team), Penelope Keith (as trustee of Brooklands Museum), Norman Parker (who worked for Vickers) and Ken Wallis (who flew Wellingtons operationally) on 15 June 2011, the 75th anniversary of the first flight of the type's effective prototype in 1936.

In popular culture
The Wellington was popularly known as the Wimpy by service personnel, after J. Wellington Wimpy from the Popeye cartoons. A Wellington "B for Bertie" had a starring role in the 1942 Oscar-nominated Powell and Pressburger film One of Our Aircraft Is Missing. James Robertson Justice is sucked out of a hole in the fuselage of a Wellington in Very Important Person (1961).

interesting article on hi fat / lo carb diets and adaptation
"have fun and be kind"
- an internet post
I was driving back from Bend yesterday and saw a sign on the freeway saying "Honk if you like buffets". Guess who I thought of.

Speaking of buffets...
In celebration of the start of the NFL season we are having a cookout type day at the office...
Choice 1:
8 oz turkey breast, 6 oz of sweet potato
Choice 2:
Ballpark hotdogs, potato chips, etc.
Such difficult decisions....
"if you ride it the way it's meant to be ridden there's no way any wife is less of a ***** than a bicycle." - gstein
In all honesty mama is getting ready for a show right now so things have been pretty tame though our grocery bill has probably doubled (or more). I have cleaned up as well and am trying to eat to put some more size on (yeah yeah I know). Problem is I am going to have to cut the sleeves of jersey as the go on but can't come off (maybe I need something larger than a medium)...
"if you ride it the way it's meant to be ridden there's no way any wife is less of a ***** than a bicycle." - gstein
I have been eating _lots_ of fat. Avocados, olive oil, coconut oil, grass-fed butter, nuts, cheeses, meat, etc have been my staples. It's a little bizarre as far as a diet goes, honestly.
I'm using the pee strips to see if I'm getting into ketosis. So far I'm not developing a lot of ketones, but it's gone from 'none' to 'trace'.
My back has been hurt and I traveled for work last weekend, so I haven't been training on the bike. I have been good with energy through the day and not sluggish. I do feel a little less bloated (from not eating massive salads 2-3 times a day) and a little less gassy.
I weigh myself once a week (I should probably do that more often). My 'normal' weight that I've weighed for over the last year is 145#. Last week (the morning I started this experiment) I weighed in at 143.5#, which was a 'low' weight for me. I'm almost always heavier. I was pretty sure that this was going to be a 'heavy' week. Last week was a 'light' measurement and I've spent the week of eating as much fat as I could. Drum-roll....I lost a pound. Keep in mind, I'm not restricting anything and I'm not trying to lose any weight. I'm really doing this for more of a fueling thing for long races and overall body composition.
I'm going to get to do some riding this week and I'll be reporting back on energy/power on the bike as I get some info. Cheers.

^so what does a "normal" meal look like for you?
Here was my dinner:
Caprese salad. Fresh basil and black pepper over sliced cherry tomatoes and 1/4rd mozzarella balls. All of this smothered in olive oil and mixed up.
Pan fried black cod filet (6oz) and portobello mushrooms (both in coconut oil)
a handfull of macadamia nuts for 'dessert'
I could have had some salad, but I just didn't want any so I didn't. I might have a snack before bed...maybe not. I'm not really hungry.
One thing I am still trying to get used to is food volume. When I was eating large amounts of veggies, the calorie density is small, so the food volume is large. This is the opposite. The food is very calorie dense and it doesn't take that much (in volume) until you're just kinda done eating. I feel like I haven't eaten very much, but when I add it up, it's actually plenty of calories.
Having said that, I'm not calorie counting, I'm just trying to calibrate my eating-to-80%full-o-meter.
Thank you. That sounds good. When you listed what you were using a few posts up, I couldn't wrap my head around how you could form a "meal" out of that. Thought it would look like a healthy Golden Rule buffet or something.
I'm trying to come up with a bowl of 'cereal' for breakfast. I also will fry up an omelette if the pain hits.
Here's the 'cereal' for this morning:
I just kind of threw this together in a bowl this morning by just spooning the stuff in the bowl.
a couple scoops of hulled hemp
pepitas (hulled pumpkin seeds)
1/2 a scoop of vanilla whey protein (stevia sweetened)
a scoop of flax meal
scoop of raw cacao powder
a couple sprinkles of cacao nibs
a couple tablespoons of Irish butter
a tablespoon or 2 of coconut oil
a pour of almond milk
I heated this up in the microwave for 2 minutes to melt the butter then mixed it up. Once everything was nice and smooth, I mixed in a couple spoonfuls of full fat greek yogurt. It was really good. I'd like to make this kind of a 'go to', but I've got to get it figured out a little better.
It's got a bunch of fat, a bit of protein and maybe 20 grams of total carbs and 10 grams of 'active' carbs.
On a side note I got one of these last week:
Excellent investment - keeps my eating on track for the day.

I doubt it. I am huge by racing cyclist standards.
A McGriddle is probably going to be a lot easier/quicker, but that's taking a different path, isn't it?

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — No. 11 Florida State heads into the final third of its schedule trying to cure a midseason bout of sloppiness.
The Seminoles lost two of their five fumbles last week in addition to a dozen penalties that cost them another 121 yards in a sluggish 33-20 win at Miami.
The Seminoles (7-1, 4-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) are changing their punt returner for Saturday's game against Duke, which leads the ACC's Coastal Division. Sophomore defensive back Tyler Hunter will take over the punt return duties from Rashad Greene in a significant lineup change this week by Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher.
And the Seminoles are at home where they've been a far more dominant team this season, averaging 55.4 points a game, more than twice what they've averaged in road games.

Hey king and how are ya!?
I'm an NOT jealous of a team that had to cheat to win. I'm disgusted by them. I want to make that point very clear.
You quote Cowher as "trying to gain a competitive edge"
Well BB was trying to get his competitive edge,cheating. Got caught cheating,was told to stop cheating went ahead and cheated anyway and got caught and fined for cheating.Apparently the League thought there was something wrong with it?!
Since then the pats haven't won anything...as it should be.
You people are really something else-If this was any other team that got caught cheating this place would be in an uproar-You can't deny it either. I've been here longer then any of you and I know the mentality of the NE fanbase.

Popular Teas from FairmontSee All 13 Teas
Recent Tasting Notes
Got back on Tuesday from a Seattle-Portland-Victoria vacation with mom and aunts. One of our stops was at the Willow Stream Spa at the Fairmont Empress in Victoria (can't vacay without a spa stop, y'know). I picked this up there, untasted and untested.
It's not bad. If I didn't have the package description to refer to, I'd swear this was blackcurrant. And it has a distinctly grapey taste as well. It's smooth and not overly heavy. I'm not sure how they decaffeinate it "on the estate" and how that really differs from doing it somewhere else but it doesn't really matter to me. I'd have bought this with or without the caffeine just to try it. I don't see myself reaching for this over my other teas, but I'll throw a couple of bags in the travel tea snob tea wallet just in case of emergency.
In other tea news, I purchased my first yixing pot while in Seattle. It is highly likely to not be real yixing, but it's clay and it's cute. And shortly after that I purchased my second clay pot. Just too cute and too reasonably priced. Seasoning the tortoise and the hare for golden monkey and the dragon for bi luo chun types. Probably don't need different pots for them since they are similar in flavor profile but, shrug, why not. :) And my auntie got a cool tea for one set for me at Queen Mary in Seattle. I love the unusual handles and that the cup is on a pedestal.
Had it in the queens tea room on my recent honeymoon bought some and will continue to buy it going forward. I enjoy the taste with both milk and honey. The two people at work really enjoyed it to. If it is good enough for the Queen of England. It is more than good enough for me.
Flavors: Bergamot, Earl Grey
Another goodie from ashmanra. The first adjective that came to mind after a 4-ish minute steep was pure. Crisp. Clean. No thickness on the tongue. It's got enough strength to qualify as a waker-upper, but no muddiness or bitterness. (My sleepy eyes thank you!)
The girls bought some tea from the hotel while staying in the Fairmont in Toronto, but I think these may have been complimentary tea bags in the room. We had them for breakfast this morning and I was quite surprised at how smooth and nice this is.
The flavoring is really excellent and has an enveloping comforting feel. It smells like maple candy and gives off such an impression of the sweetness of maple syrup that I don't think I could possibly drink it with sugar. It was an amazing tea bag tea to have on this rainy, blustery morning. The base isn't very strong but also isn't watery, and it makes a nice enough carrier for the sweet maple that makes the house feel even cozier now that I am back from an early excursion in the rain and wind. We are dropping from a high of 63F today to a low of 27F tonight.
If I could buy a box of this reasonably priced here, I would, even though I don't do tea bags normally. I am thinking it is time to experiment with putting maple syrup in some of my tea.
I really enjoyed this one! My note for it was one of the first times I used the site, so I didn't leave a proper review for it, but I kind of wish I did now!
My daughter picked this up in Toronto last year during the tea festival. We served it for tea party with an Italian Cream Cake that youngest made. It went very well with the cake. It is fairly strong but not bitter and not too astringent, has the heft to taste like tea even when you are eating something incredibly sweet and rich like that cake. Malty, bready, breakfasty. And a hint of
I would love to have more of the maple flavor tea they got there. So good….
We have had a solid gray cloud covering all day, with drizzle and rain most of the time, and a bit chilly though nothing compared to what many of you live with. When I got home from taking a friend's young adult car-less child home from school for them, I needed comfort, and I guess even youngest who had stayed home felt the chill and damp because she asked if we had any Harney Royal English Breakfast on hand.
Since we didn't, I made this one in its place. I didn't sweeten it with maple syrup this time, but kept it plain and had went a little light on leaf and time – on purpose – and had it with my leftover Chinese food lunch. It was quite nice. Tomorrow we may get a little snow, but it will certainly be cold and gray again, so I think a big pot with a bit of maple syrup may be in order.
Encouraged by Sil's comment on Maple Maple, I tried this one with maple syrup as sweetening this morning. I do not normally drink any black tea that requires sugar as I enjoy plain tea more, but some breakfast teas with Assam are a lot better to me with sugar. Hubby was home and i offered him some, too. He rarely drinks black tea since he only likes it with milk and sugar with few exceptions, but he liked this one with maple syrup a lot.
I like that Maple Maple tastes like maple and tastes sweet without any sugar, but since I can't get more, this is a really nice, comforting replacement. I think Lapsang or Bohea will be even better than this one with maple syrup added. Thanks, Sil!
The girls are home from Canada! Youngest wasn't ready to come home. She had so much fun and said that Canadians are so nice, she wanted to stay!
This is one of the teas I am allowed to have now, and since youngest is thirsty we made a big pot and had some goat cheese and crackers while she told me all about the trip.
Indian tea and I often don't get along, but I steeped this for only three minutes and drank it plain. It was good! It was a little malty, a bit bready, with some astringency developing as it sat. It never became undrinkable, and was smoother than PG TIps and breakfast teas of that ilk.
Mine is loose leaf and doesn't say organic, but I am guessing it is the same tea because it matches this listing in every other way. This one is a little hearty and I may even break out some milk and sugar and enjoy it as I drank tea in the "olden days" a few years ago!
If I asked for simply "tea" at a moderately upscale restaurant or hotel, this is about what I would expect. Not pretentious, no particular flavor notes to comment on, just a straight up black tea which, to their credit, has a much smoother finish than more generic pekoes I've had. While I don't typically take my tea British style, something about this blend would make me feel at home tossing in a lump or two of raw sugar and a splash of cream. All the same, probably not worth seeking out if you or someone you know isn't already visiting a Fairmont resort.
Has a sweet but not overpowering maple sugar aroma and flavor. The tea itself is not as strong as the average black tea. It's a very soothing tea especially for colder weather, but not a pick-me-up.
Flavors: Autumn Leaf Pile, Malt
I had tea at the Empress a few years ago. I had forgotten that they sent us home with these neat tins full of tea, until I was rumagging around in my parents tea cupbord a while ago. I spirited this tin home with me, mostly for the neat tin, I must confess.
But I'v got three tea bags of this in the tin, which are now several years old, but I am determined to try them anyway.
Hmm. This brewed up very dark very fast. And the first sip gives me a bitter burst.
Second sip provides a little more roastyness, a hint of something greeny lurking in its depths.
This is strong! I'm not sure. I'm such a sweet tea drinker that this is almost overwhelming. These three tea bags will be an adventure in comfort zones, I can tell.
Oh geez, I still have the complementary box they gave me last year. And it's insanely expensive, for sure. Definitely not worth the price.
A nice touch from the Fairmont with their Empress Tea. It's a a black Orange Pekoe style tea. Nice touch making the tea bags with loose leaf in them. They serve two cups of tea, so a nice serving.
I oversteeped mine though I think. Was slightly astringent. Will try for less time next time, but a nice addition to my morning :)
This is an almost sipdown, I have like 1 cup left of this tea.
I don't now if I am going to buy it again yet. I have put it on my wishlist, but I want to try some new teas. Right now I am trying to drink through a lot of my current teas and get them down and then look at buying more tea. I have way too many right now and I want to explore more. I have my favourites of course, but I'm not sure if this is one of them.
A good solid black tea though for anyone interested.
Not only has Steepster been gobbling up my likes on everyone's teas, but I have lost tea logs and on Friday my dashboard was stalled.
Had this one on Saturday morning, needed a robust blend, a wake me up blend. I chose this. I'm thinking I need to stock up on some simple blends. I've been eying up Harney and Sons.
I didn't end up drinking my Day 14 tea yet, but will review both Day 14 and 15 when I do.
Edit: I found the information online finally, but I don't have an account that is old enough to "edit" teas. I have to wait 1 month apparently booo.
Here's the update on the tea: FALL HARVEST, India~ black tea Infused with Dried Cranberries and Cinnamon with just the right touch of spice.
Fall Harvest. I love fall – this makes me think of fall. I can't find any information on their website about the tea because it's a seasonal blend. So I took a picture and let everyone be the judge of that.
At first sniff: This is very breakfast-y smelling with hints of cinnamon in, but very subtle. You can smell the black tea for sure. You can also see the cranberry and cinnamon pieces.
At first steep: This is very strong. It's a bold blend, and excellent to take with milk and sugar (or substitute.) I had a hard time finishing my cup today because it's quite rich. The colour is a deep red brown, looks like it's almost coloured red, but it's not. With milk its a red toffee colour.
It could probably do with less time being brewed and it is very dry to the palette. It's not my favourite, but it's definitely a good contender for a breakfast tea.
Side note: I know that the Metropolitan Tea Company does a lot of the tea blending for the Fairmont. There are a couple that you can buy on their website and then there are some that are exclusive to the Fairmont. There isn't much information online about this, it's mentioned briefly here and there when you google it. I really like their teas, they are affordable and I find them to be nice and natural.
The more I drink this tea, the more I like it. It's robust, it's a marriage of Earl Grey and Breakfast teas, to make a stronger, bolder Earl Grey. The bergamont, however does not overpower.
I've been in a simple kind of mood for teas these days. I'm surprising myself that I reclining back to simple flavours. I think I am attributing this to wanting comfort and consistency. Tea can sometimes be inconsistent and downright disappointing, depending on what you're trying. And with the holidays near, comfort is of essence. I am two days behind on the advent calendar, but I am feeling somewhat uninspired by it.
Bumped up the rating on this one, as I think it deserves it.
The name sounds very fancy. The tin looks very pretty (festive even.)
Dry: There is a smell of Bergamont that fills your nose, but the notes are more subdued compared to your regular Earl Grey. The tea has mixtures of Sri Lankan, Chinese and Indian teas and you can see it very clearly when you take a peek at it. When I take a deep sniff, the Bergamont disappears and I smell what reminds me of Tetley Orange Pekoe, an earthy smell.
Steeped: I smell the earthy qualities first and the Bergamont tickles the tips your nose, rounding off the note. The tea brew up a deep copper red, reminding me of a good English Breakfast tea. It takes milk very well and becomes a handsome toffee coloured tea. As I've been reading more and more on here, I'm wondering if I am steeping my teas too long, as I do get a dry smacking feeling on my tongue, much like when I drink a red wine and don't finish it (I haven't developed much of a palette for reds yet.) I'm realizing this might be the astringency that everyone is speaking of. It definitely has a malty quality to it and I would definitely agree it's a "moody" tea.
I picked it today because, like yesterday I wanted a more simple tea, less "flavours" and more complexity in the leaves. I know the Fairmont probably gets ignored for its teas, as people tend to think of them when they think of High Tea, but they do have some nice blends and they are quite affordable. Either way, I have 5 of their teas, with this one being given to me as a gift from a friend because they didn't enjoy black teas.
I'd say it's a solid contender for a morning tea, the only reason I didn't rate it higher is because the after note on it is a bit strong and dry. I will try brewing for less time next time. However, it was frosty and fresh this morning and it was exactly what I wanted. A bold tea that stood out and woke me up. So Good morning :)
Ok so I brought home a couple of tea bags from my conference :) i didn't drink any decaf black teas while I was there. I wanted to make sure I had caffeine in my tea. Anyways this is a nice medium strength tea. It doesn't say specifically how it is decaffeinated but I am guessing it is done via the CO2 method as opposed to the chemical method but I don't know for sure.
I unfortunately added milk and honey to this cup before I tried the tea so I can't say for sure but I think I could drink this straight or with just a bit of milk. I will have to try that with my other tea bag!

Filter brand and size questions
I am looking to buy a couple filters (polarizer and UV etc...) and I've been reading the reviews.
Some reviews suggest to buy the "largest" size (77mm) and use step-up adapters. Does this make sense (I have cz1680 and Tamron 70300 which are both 62mm, but I might go for others like prime lenses and 70400mm later).
Also, which brand would you recommend?
Thanks a lot.

The mood and cognitive measurers of mental energy used in this investigation have similar sensitivity for detecting change in response to a small and moderate dose of caffeine and breakfast.
This double-blind, placebo-controlled, within-subjects (N=18) experiment compared the sensitivity to change of cognitive performance and mood measures of mental energy following consumption of either 100 or 200-mg caffeine or a 440-calorie breakfast. Breakfast and 200-mg caffeine improved mood and cognitive performance. The sensitivity to change of the measures did not differ in response to any treatment (all p values> .05).

DVD review | Animal Kingdom
Set in 1980s Melbourne and loosely based on real events, hard-hitting crime drama Animal Kingdom has been dubbed an 'Australian GoodFellas'. Director David Michôd isn't as flashy as Scorsese, but his portrayal of the violent downfall of a dysfunctional family of criminals shows that he's a master at building slow-burning tension. When James Frecheville's naïve 17-year-old outsider gets taken in by the clan following his mother's death, you can cut the air of simmering aggression with a knife, but as he comes to terms with living in an underworld jungle where only the fittest survive, you're left constantly on edge wondering when violence will next erupt. With Guy Pearce's honest cop looking on from the sidelines, Ben Mendelsohn's short-fused gangster appears to be top dog, but the scariest member of this animal kingdom is its queen, Oscar-nominated Jacki Weaver's doting but ruthlessly cunning matriarch.
Released on DVD & Blu-ray by Optimum Home Entertainment on 11th July.

Dave and Jan Wannstedt can go ahead, unpack and hang things on the wall after all.
After 20 years of no more than four years in any one place, Wannstedt appears destined to be in Chicago for at least eight after signing a three-year extension to his first Bears contract.
The deal follows the Bears on March 1 exercising the option to retain Wannstedt through 1997. Now he is in line to be the Bears' coach in the year 2000 and in whatever new stadium the team, city and state work out.
Wannstedt's coaching career has included four years at the University of Pittsburgh, four at Oklahoma State, three at USC, three at the University of Miami and four with the Dallas Cowboys.
But the longevity factor was not uppermost in Wannstedt's decision to extend his stay in Chicago.
"The bottom line in this whole thing is not about years, not about money," Wannstedt said. "It's about commitment to the Bears to get to the Super Bowl.
"The same reasons why I chose to come to Chicago three years ago have not changed, they've only gotten stronger in my mind. The great tradition of the Bears, the great fans in Chicago, all these things make this great opportunity awfully, awfully exciting to be a player or coach in the city of Chicago."
The Bears are 25-23 in Wannstedt's first three years, including 9-7 the past two seasons. They were the only winning team not to qualify for the playoffs last year, but they reached the postseason in 1994 and upset the Minnesota Vikings. …

I'm trying to create a development environment for a .NET web site but I'm stuck at one point. The authentication for the web site is going to be through ADFS and the development machines we have are Windows 7 machines. The web site is therefore running on IIS under Windows 7 but I can find no information on how to install the claims-aware agent on a Win 7 machine (I've so far only been able to find information for Server 2008).
Any suggestions on how to get a ADFS claims-aware site up and running on a Win7 machine would be greatly appreciated.

Photo and slide archiving

Re: Photo and slide archiving
Yes, a few thousand slides and maybe that many photos that I would like to do at some point. I don't trust sending them away anywhere and would like to accomplish this by myself and maybe some help from my bride. I have seen the little scanners that claim to do this but don't know which one to give a try to. My Epson Artisan printer/scanner does a reasonalbe job on photos but not sure it would do as good a job as a machine built for duplicating photos and slides. In doing some online searching I have found some as high as 1,000.00 but really would like to stay under 250.00 or so, if possible. Just thought some or you may have some experience with a model you really like.

Filed under: ANIMAL SACRIFICES, corbonot, PARSHA VAYIKRA | Tags: PARSHA VAYIKRA
Bs"d UPDATED March 14TH 2016
The Chesed LaAvraham teaches that Vayikra has 172 chapters corresponding the 172 words in the 10 commandments. One who occupies in this part of the Torah has 172 blessings. It is like they have fulfilled all the commandments.
This weeks parsha explains the ritual aspect of many sacrifices that are made in the Holy Temple, may it be rebuilt quickly in our days.
After I graduated University I began to seriously explore my interest in spirituality. When I looked at Judaism. Naturally the first book I read was the Five Books of Moses. Genesis and Exodus were pretty interesting. But then I got to Leviticus and saw page after page of animal sacrifices !
"Wow," I remember thinking to myself "This is really crazy stuff!! Once upon a time they actually did these bloody rituals, it's obviously obsolete today! Don't any of those Orthodox Rabbis know this?
It all made no sense, little did I know that the greatest of Divine secrets are involved with the sacrifices.
In the temple of king Solomon a fire would come down from heaven to consume the daily offerings on the alter. Yet we still made a fire below. There is a verse in Thillim (Psalms) "Happy is the man whom you choose, and bring near." (Psalm 65). In the Holy Zohar it explains ; who are those that Hashem brings close ?. It is those who first take a step in that direction. We can see Hashem demands a action below by us, we see this in man making the fire on the alter. In order to raise your self up and the world we must do something of Divine service then God will respond in kind, with great mercy. We learn from the Zohar a sacrifice is called in Biblical Hebrew a "corbon" from the same root as the word "corov" which means closeness. In Beor Esser Sefirot העטרת (the Crown) is called heart it is the place in the beginning of all tefilot (prayers). The הקרבנות (the sacrifices) are in עליוןלב (the supernal heart). This is the din (judgment) concerning tefilot. As this prayer is as a קרבן which purifies and brings one קרב (close). We can learn a lot from the Temple service. Dont take benefit of a mitzvah (commandment) before it is complete (dont create a incomplete mitzvah or lacking compared to what you are capable of). This is as if a Cohen were to eat from a sacrifice before he had completed his required Divine service with it. Do the mitzvot in a way of כבוד (honor) due to the Holy king. Dont enter into doing the Mitzvot in a light headed way. By comprehension of the mitzvot one comes to be careful with their fulfillment as then they understand that the mitzvot involve Holiness. Then they will do them with all their power, cherishing and guarding their kidusha. But if one enters to fulfill mitzvot with arrogance or not in a serious way they will not comprehend in truth "hashgacha" (divine providence), or see the way of the Mitzvot.1 Like a sacrifice, Torah is offered as a gift to Hashem. In the Zohar Barashit it is taught During times when sacrifices were offered sin never clung to Yisrael as these offerings made atonement for them. The Zohar Vayikra teaches that the inner most alter was for Incense, it is the "small still voice." (the Spirit of Holiness). The ark is Bina including 32 paths which is the source of the Nashama Yetera of Shabot which is Chuchmah , the fire of the Brass alter, it stands against the fire of Ghenom.2 The work of the Holy Temple will continue once again as we see from the Prophet Jeremiah: " Behold the days are coming says YHVH I will perform the good thing which I promised to the house of Israel, and to the house of Yehudah. In those days at that time, I will cause an offshoot of righteousness to grow up for David and He shall execute justice and righteousness in the land. In those days shall Yehudah be saved and Jerusalem shall dwell safely and this is the name whereby she shall be called YHVH is our righteousness. Thus says YHVH David shall never lack a man sitting on the thrown of the house of Israel. Neither shall the Cohen and Levites lack a man before me to offer Burnt offerings and to burn Meal offerings and to do sacrifice for all days "(33:14-18) The Radak explains "offshoot of righteousness" this refers to Messiah. The Metsudat David says we will call the place of Jerusalem when this prophesy is fulfilled YHV"H is our righteousness. This depicts a little how dramatic this time will be to Jerusalem. The Metsudat David teaches us from the words " do sacrifice for all days" that there will not be cut off the sacrifice because there shall forever be this service. God will return the Cohaniam (Descendants of Aharon) and all their aspects as described in the Torah into action again as in days of old In Marachot Elokim the main thing of גאולה (redemption) is in the night time so the corban pasach (pasach sacrifice) is only brought at night.

I had spotted these same frames at the store that Melissa from 100 Billion Stars used on the project above, but I typically don't go for black items. Dumb me. I absolutely love black with bright colors, and I was reminded of this when I first saw Melissa's frame art. The frames are tiny, but after decoupaging a few you could make them part of a larger frame "wall installation," or you could use them for place cards or party favors as Melissa suggests. But you can't forget the glitter letters, because if you do, your project will fall apart when you aren't looking. Kidding – or am I? Visit Melissa's tutorial here.
Very Cool Amy! xo
beautiful! love the black and the sparkle is just right!
That is adorable and a great idea!

The only setback about U-Boxes in Burlington Vermont is that I had to tow the boxes myself to my home and then tow the back to Uhaul.
poor customer communication disorganized the girl actually said I`m new and have not idea what I`m doing.
Very friendly and helpful!! 5 Starsgy
Easy and helpful!
Great staff.
All good.
This was a nightmare experience.
The dates were wrong, the location for pick up was wrong - MULTIPLE TIMES!It cost me 3 times the amount to do this because of the problems with UHAUL.
Kevin and Crystal were excellent!
Two men working outside when I checked in and out were SO helpful. However,man and woman working inside at the front desk were always rude, unhelpful, and unwilling to answer my questions.
There was a booking error with my U-box reservation. Your staff went above and beyond the call of duty to make it right! I highly recommend the staff in Burlington!
don`t tell someone they need to arrive at the scheduled pickup time and then make them wait and hour while you prepare the box. there was a scheduled time for a reason.
I was charged for 3 months of storage that I never signed for, did not authorize. My card was charged 3 times...just discovered I was only refunded for 2 of 3 charges and will have to contact again
My U-box is missing and so far very little has been done to find it.
Boxes were never ready at scheduled time for pick up. I called multiple times to try to avoid this issue and things still we`re not ready. Waiting times were outrageous.
Kevin at Burlington UHaul was extremely helpful - our only concern with the UBox would be that there were not straps available inside to secure our items. Thank you! Deb Weber
People at Burlington uhaul were knowledgeable and helpful, going the extra mile to help.
William at U-Haul Burlington has been very kind and helpful over the last couple of years for all my u-haul needs. He is extremely knowledgeable and he deserves a pat on the back.
All the folks were very helpfull Thanks for all your help
I`m very pleased with the experience. Everything worked very well. The staff at both the Maryland location and in Burlington were very helpful and attentive.
Very good experience
Nick and his staff were very professional and came on time with the Ubox delivery.
Staff on both ends of the moving transaction were superb!
