text: Review Content Light the way I originally bought it for my electric table top grill, but the handle was too small to accommodate attaching the device. I gave it to a close friend who loves it. The light is perfect and shines effortlessly on the food. The fans were not as effective on his large grill, though they might improve on smaller units. Gift I bought this for my husband..he is very excited for the warmer weather so he can use it A GREAT IDEA THIS IS SO EASY TO USE ESCPECIALLY WITH A LOT OF SMOKE & HEAT . it works great! I got this product for my husband because we eat late and he has a hard time seeing the meat on the grill at night. Fantastic Works like a charm. My husband loves it. Best gift idea ever. Great idea We use this everyday at our house, we grill year round and its a great add on for our night time grilling. Great product I love grilling, but the smoke was always burning my eyes. This product does a great job keeping the smoke away from my face. Great Addition to your Grill This is a wonderful addition to your grill for those nighttime grilling adventures. The fans really help remove the smoke and the light is really bright! It illuminates a lot of space! It attaches within seconds. Great value for the money! Great BBQ Light It is great! It lights up the BBQ nicely. It helps me from not burning the meat or undercooking it. I highly recommend it. In fact, I plan on buying two more as presents this Christmas. Dont waste your money! 1. It clutters up the grill handle and is in the way. 2. The light is NOT bright enough to do any good. 3. The fans not strong enough to blow smoke any place but in your face. GRILL LIGHT AND FAN This a product that my husband has needed for quite some time. Being that we are in the north he wont be able to enjoy it until the spring! GREAT ACCESSORY FOR THE GRILL....LOVE IT This was an early Fathers Day present! He absolutely loves it! He is an avid cook and long hours standing by the grill while he is smoking meat make for hard to see items in the dark and red smoke filled eyes, but not anymore! This accessory works wonderfully! my husband just attached it to our grill, loves it! Its a perfect fit! FANTASTIC BBQ GRILL LIGHT As usual Sharper Image has delivered a wonderful product! Shipping was a breeze....a quick arrival! This is a wonderful light to use on your grill...really illuminates the cooking surface! My only regret is waiting so long to get this! BBQ Grill Light - Just Okay Very Bulky and in the way of the BBQ handle. But, provides needed light well. I havent used the fans yet, turned them on once after cooking to see how well they worked and they seem to be okay. Great Gift for Determined Grillers Great for those guys who will grill in the dark. Very disappointed I received a used one. Before I bought one I read the reviews and I noticed that someone else had also said they received a used one. At first glance it looks good, but under deeper investigation its not worth its pricetag. I am also unhappy with the fact that it is not waterproof and that it needs to be unscrewed every single time youre done using it. See What Youre Cooking! Now I can see when my steak is done! Works great!! This works great!! When cooking things that make a lot of smoke it keeps the grill clear!! I highly recommend it. Great for Grilling Standing over the grill can get hot here in Texas and these fans really help move the air. Its still hot, but at least there is a breeze. The light is very, very bright - much better than trying to hold a flashlight while turning food on the grill! I really like this addition to my grill. :-) Fabulous! Have this to my dad for his birthday. He loves it. He used to use a rigged system to see at night on the grill. Doesnt get in the way for him and since we usually eat late anyway its always used. this product does what i need it to do. use it on my grill 4 to 5 days s week, as daylight savings ends the importance of this device as far grilling goes, needs to be more lightheavy versus fan heavy Good product Use often Now I can BBQ 24/7 Light works great allowing night BBQ. The fans are of questionable use. If there is that much smoke maybe you should be cooking in the oven. Awesome gadget! Bought this for a gift and it is more awesome than I thought it would be. Very, very nice but the lights could be brighter. We grill A LOT and this was a very nifty tool but the lights are not as bright as I thought they would be. Great conversation piece though. I now have to find an additional light to go along with this. For the price, I would have expected better lighting. i would tell people to buy this product easy to use. light and easy to handle.to many batteries I need this! It attaches to the grill handle with ease and it attractive and easy to use This product does exactly what was advertised. This product does exactly what it is supposed to do and with its cool design it doesnt ruin the look of your grill Great Product So far this has been a great product. It is still summer and the sun is out till about 9pm so we will get more use from this in the Fall when the evenings are a little earlier. Good Product I bought this for a coworker who uses it and likes it I havent used it yet but cant wait. Its lightweight. I got it for my dad for Christmas so I think he will enjoy using this product. Happy BBQer I gave this to my mother in law as a present. She loved it! It makes for easy bbqing at night and keeps the smoke away. Easy assembly although it doesnt look like it stayed on that well cause of the plastic screws. And I did think that the light would be a bit brighter. and also required a lot of batteries (8). But overall, satisfied with purchase. Great product I used to hate grilling because the smoke really burned my eyes. The fans do a great job keeping the smoke away from my face. Love it Great light & fans keep smoke down Exactly what he wanted Have been needing a product like this for a long time. Grill light Light must be mounted so it doesnt hit lid and knobs when lid is closed husband loved it this was a gift for my husband he absolutely loved it but unfortunately it did not fit our grill which was my fault for not checking the measurements. overall though, great idea, and it seems like it is flimsy at first but its just because it needs to be secured on correctly thats all! Stay cool and see the light Help when you BBQ Best BBQ GRILL LIGHT EVER Received this add a gift and Its great. Easily attaches to has grill lid. Plenty of light and the fan makes an welcome addition to my grill supplies. I would recommend Good lighting. Fans strong The product is great. This was the second one I ordered; however, I returned this one because it had been used, was not properly packaged and did not include the gift bag I ordered. Bought as a gift I bought this as a gift for my husbands birthday and gave it to him early. Even though its not "true" grilling season yet and, therefore, it hasnt been used yet, he is super excited about it and cant wait to use it. Great Light for Night time Grilling This item is easy to use and long lasting, perfect for late night cookouts. this light is perfect Hubby works the 3 to 11 shift i always make him dinner when he gets home so this is perfect for late night grilling. even when it is raining I put up the umbrella and grill away HANDY! When grilling on a small patio, smoke sometimes drifts into our home. With this lighted fan the smoke is directed away from the door. The lights are bright enough to make checking for the perfect temperature much easier. This is a very handy product and was a great gift for my husband AKA, the man that has everything"! Good product Use regularly. Great Gift for Hubby Great gift for my husband. Quick and easy to order. Looking forward to many uses in our backyard! Looks Alien It has only been used once and it was so windy that night we didnt use the fan option, but the light was a great help. Dad loves it! I purchased this for my dad and he loves having the option to grill at night and have enough light to see everything! Purchased as a Christmas gift, not for m This is a gift. Husband Loves It! Love the design. Only complaint would be that the clips that hold the light/fan on the grill are really only made for a grill with one long lift handle. My husband has a dual grill with a handle for each side. We were able to make it work. Just beware of that slight setback. Not sure about the battery life yet just got it for Fathers Day. Amazing inovation! finally a fan attached to light! The fan attachments was a clever idea BBQ grill fan and light / BEST Gift I bought it as a Fathers Day gift. My dad loved it. Uses it alot. Ended up mounting it on the fence by the grill so he could use the light and fana for other projects too. who wouldve thunk it? great for night game tail gates For the Outdoor Cook that has Everything Great gift idea for the backyard grilling chef that has everything. A GREAT IDEA SHAPER IMAGE HAS BEEN A GREAT PLACE TO SHOP FOR TECNICS BBQ Grill light & fan The light is very bright and covers the grill area perfectly. The fans arent as useful as the light. "Excellent for late evening camping excellent. we are campers and it is perfect for late evening grilling Great! Have not yet used as it was a Christmas gift for my husband, however, he absolutely loves the idea and cant wait to use it! Great idea This is a great idea but it didnt fit our CharGril. The attachments should be more adjustable. My husband is luckily handy and rigged something so it fit on the handle, it was shy just about an inch. Product was good would not fit my gill Would not fit my grill Havent use it yet but excited to pull it out on Fathers Day My brother just started his catering company and it entails of a lot of grilling. Im so excited for him to use it. I has great potential!! Great product Easy to install. Controls are very easy to use. I like seperate controls for the fan and the light Product is good Works effectively Love it! We bbq often in the evening at the hunting camp, this is perfect for determining when meat is ready. The handle attachment is made for a bigger handle than my pit, so we had to do some adjusting, but finally got it right. Works like a charm Good product and would recommend My husband had been interested in a light for his grill. I purchased this light and gave to him for Christmas and he was very pleased! Good product Works good and easy to use. This product was a slam bam on my BBQ When Im outside on a nice evening and Im BBQ I turn on my light and whala its Magical light bestowed on my custom BBQ. stopped worked first time out One of the fans stopped working while we were grilling for our 4th of July party, the first time we used it! Overpriced Poor Quality/Performance per 20+ yr. Customer Ive been buying Sharper Image products for over 20 yrs; some were good and innovative, other products were poorly made and didnt work well. This grill fan/light falls into the poorly made, junk, etc category. Im totally baffled at the 4-5 star reviews. Maybe I got a different unit than many of the reviewers. When you pay a ridiculous $$price$$ for a flimsy plastic grill light with 2 tiny plastic fans - they should be TOP QUALITY - not cheap plastic with not even a weatherproof battery compartment gasket (there is NO gasket at all). The quality control is so poor that the RED trim pictured in the ads turned out to be .....not red, but...... PINKISH - unbelievable for the price! I have a large grill. BE AWARE, this light, attached to my grill handle, only lights up a tiny 1 ft. X 1 ft. Area! With fresh batteries, this light is hardly what Id call adequate - marginal at best - definitely not what youd call "bright! My headlamp does a better job. The 2 tiny plastic "fans" have about the same strength as Gift for Dad Gave as a gift to my father, he loves it so far See What Youre Cooking! The individuals we gave them as Xmas gift love the LED Light Fixture. GIFT FOR BOSS I purchased this for my boss. He loves it and thats all that matters. BBQ Grill Light Great for nighttime parties. Brght BBQ Grill LIght effective and efficient BBG Grill Light None This is wonderful! my husband loves it The fans work great, no more smoke in my husbands eyes or trying to flip meat with a flashlight in his hand Lights Up My World I bought this as a gift for my son. He loved it. It was the "hit" gift of the day. Everyone wanted to know where it came from! Im sure this gift will be loved by all We have purchased many items from Sharper Image for many, many years and have been extremely satisfied at your quality. The Grill lights are a Christmas gift so we cant critique them yet...but sure they will be a welcome gift to our family member. Returning. Never got to try it. Lights didnt work as soon as I opened the package. Doesnt appear like it would weather well. My husband and I LOVE this! What a great gift! The light is plenty bright enough, and there is absolutely NO SMOKE now - fans take everything up in the air! We plan to give this to other family members as gifts! This product far exceeded our expectations. Thanks so much! Love the barcode grill light and fan! I gave this to my husband as a gift. We then lost our natural gas usage to our kitchen stove for over a month. He could couok on our grill for us throughout that time I couldnt use our oven or stove. How lucky! The lights were so helpful and he loved the fan so he didnt have to stand in the smoke as he cooked for us. I am grateful!

I am planning on having Restylane injected into my tear troughs. I'm wondering if I need to plan it for a weekend if the bruising is too bad. How much bruising can I expect after injections of Restylane in tear trough? What is the average?
Bruising After Restylane in Tear Troughs
Doctor Answers 24
Bruising after Restylane
Avoidance of undereye blood vessels is key. There are several that are deep that surgoens encounter during cheeklift surgery that should be avoided.
That being said, anybody can get bruising from any injection.
Aspirin, cold remedies, motrin, etc. worsen the chances; careful technique, local anesthetic and ice diminish it. We usually ask patients to have the weekend free if they contemplate injections of heavy hyaluronic acid fillers such as Restylane or Juvederm.

Ways to Avoid Bruising with Filler Treatments
Arnica oral tablets are an easy remedy to reduce the degree and length of time of bruising and can be taken 3 -5 days following the treatment.

Tear trough bruising with filler
Bruising in the tear troughs after Restylane injections
I would immediately apply Bruisestick ointment to minimize bruising after injection. This contains both Arnica and Bromelain. Raffy Karamanoukian Los Angeles
Web reference: http://kareskin.com/product-detail/11/bruisestick-arnica-ointment.aspx
Bruising after Tear Trough Correction
Bruising occurs when a blood vessel is hit by the needle during the injection. For this reason, it is very important to: 1.) find a qualified and experienced board certified facial plastic or plastic surgeon to perform the tear trough correction 2.) ensure that your doctor uses a microcannula. A microcannula is a blunt tip needle used to insert filler (such as Restylane, Perlane and Juvederm) into desired areas of the face. A needle is used to puncture a hole in the skin, and then the microcannula is inserted to evenly distribute the filler. Since the microcannula has a blunt tip, the chance of hitting a blood vessel is low. If by chance, you do experience bruising you can expect the area to resolve within a few days (depending on the size and location of the bruise). Many of my patients have found that Bromelain or Arnica (found in GNC) help resolve bruising. I hope this information helps!
Bruising is common after Restylane treatments in the tear trough
There are a lot of blood vessels near the tear troughs, and bruising is relatively common. While some people don't bruise at all, I would say most people have at least small amounts.
The severity of bruising can be minimized by taking several precautions:
1. Always choose a well-trained injector. Technique is the most important factor in getting a good outcome and to minimize bruising. The tear troughs are very different than the rest of the face, and proper placement of the material is a must. Some blood vessels under the eye are in predictable locations, and can be avoided by an experienced injector.
2. You should also avoid aspirin, motrin, advil, Vitamin E before and after your treatment. Icing the area immediately after and for 2-3 days after treatment will also minimize bruising.
If you do get a bruise, it will take 7-14 days to fully resolve. Most of my patients come for Thursday or Friday treatments. You can use coverup to hide most of the bruising, but I would plan your treatment at least 2 weeks before any big photo-ops and social engagements.
I hope this infomration helps.
Bruising after tear trough injections
Of all the places we put fillers, I believe the eyelid/ tear trough area is most susceptible to bruising. The area is very vascular and the skin very thin. So I would certainly plan a couple of days of minimal social calendar activity in case you do bruise. Avoid aspirin and any anti-inflammatory agents that could cause more bruising.
Web reference: http://www.enhanceyourimage.com/medical-spa/injectable-fillers.cfm
Bruising after tear trough Restylane injections
Avoiding aspirin, Motrin, Advil, Vit E for 2 weeks prior, employing immediate icing after, no strenuous exercise the day of the injection are all ways to minimize but NOT ELIMINATE the chance of bruising. The eyelid is very vascular and it is not the injector's fault if you bruise. Allow 2 weeks in planning to have the injections done before a big event.
This area should only be injected by doctors, and only doctors who do eyelid surgery because they best know the exact anatomy and can visualize better exactly where to place the material. This is no place for a nurse or a even a dermatologist in my opinion.
Finally, I believe Restylane to be superior to Juvederm in this area as I have seen prolonged swelling (not bruising) from Juvederm. Radiesse and other fillers are not as appropriate for this area as Restylane.

NUJS Law Review
Volume 7 – Issue 3-4
Volume 7 – Issue 3-4
The discourse on public trusts in India has been ridden with contradictions. In the absence of any specific laws governing them, trusts, and more importantly, trustees, are more often than not faced with conundrums to which the law may not always have solutions. In this paper, I examine this jurisprudence on the subject of public trusts, and delve into why the Judiciary ought to assume the duties of parens patriae in protecting the rights of a trust. As these rights are not compartmentalised as black or white, it becomes all the more vital for strengthening the role of the Judiciary in this regard.Read More
With the liberalisation of the economy and trade in India, the new competition law – the (Indian) Competition Act, 2002 –modelled after the European law on competition and the UN Set of Multilaterally Agreed Equitable Principles and Rules for the Control of Restrictive Business Practices, decriminalised antitrust offences, but enhanced the limits of penalties for certain anti-competitive practices. This paper notes that the Competition Commission of India, which has the responsibility of enforcing the Competition Act, has been meting out heavy penalties. But the CCI has often been criticised by the Competition Appellate Tribunal, for not considering relevant factors while calculating fines and not giving reasons for imposing these penalties. It is noted that the law only fixes ceiling limits of penalties. A suggestion has been made by the bar in an appeal matter before the COMPAT to adopt the European/British guidelines on imposing penalty. Predictably, this has not found unconditional acceptance by COMPAT, which has only accepted the proposition of calculating fines based on 'relevant turnover'. In this paper, I have examined the legal provisions and relevant case laws from the Supreme Court and competition authorities to map the present procedure for setting fines in competition cases in India. I have also analysed the European law on the subject, and explored how these processes can be adopted in India. Can a procedure be devised to bring transparency and predictability to the procedure for setting fines for antitrust offences in India?Read More
"Implied powers" pose difficult conceptual problems for legal scholars. They are invoked in many contexts and appear to comprise several distinct legal phenomena. Yet there is no clear understanding of what we mean by an "implied power" – apart from the very basic notion that it is not an express power – and of what forms it may take, and no existing theoretical framework that can help us in this respect. This article takes a first step towards creating such a theoretical framework by identifying criteria – the content of the power, the authority holding it, and the nature of the implication involved – that may be used to classify all references to "implied powers" in the positive law. The article focuses on Indian constitutional law to see how the relative paucity of implied powers in the Supreme Court's jurisprudence on constitutional matters may be analysed using the proposed framework. In this perspective, the paper suggests that the separation of powers and the judicial emphasis on restricting governmental powers vis- à-vis citizens are relevant factors in explaining both the absence of a general implied powers doctrine and its specific use in an intergovernmental context. Read More
Barring a few legitimate exceptions, most non-compete covenants have been frowned upon by the competition regulating agencies worldwide. While reaching a conclusion, the agencies look at, inter alia, the temporal and geographical impact of the clause in the business transfer agreements in a Merger & Acquisition transaction. Any agreement having the ultimate effect of stifling legitimate competition in the relevant domestic market is condoned by regulating agencies worldwide. The European and American position regarding the treatment of a non-compete clause in an M&A transaction has been clear and well-grounded in their respective economic realities. The position of the Indian authorities, until very recently, has been ambiguous and unpredictable, where glaring inconsistencies have been observed. The Competition Commission of India's decision in the Hospira Healthcare India Private Limited, Orchid Chemicals and Pharmaceutical Limited case goes a long way in deciphering the intention of the Indian agencies vis-à-vis the legitimacy of a non-compete covenant in M&A transactions. This decision has helped India enter the list of nations where competition restraints are judged with utmost precaution.Read More
Orwell's dystopian masterpiece, 1984, describes a society where the government manipulates the thought process of its subjects by forcing them to communicate in a watered-down version of English called 'newspeak', incapable of expressing ideas like 'liberty'. While a causative function between language and thought process has been debunked in modern-day linguistics, it is a reality that legal systems across the world accord gratuitous value judgments to one of the most primordial facets of human identity in an effort to consolidate artificial constructs of nationalism, often with punitive consequences for those who refuse to conform. At this juncture, with increasingly fervent language right campaigns in Ukraine and Northern Ireland and unprecedented rates of language extinction, what legal mechanisms are in place to bind governments into granting minority linguistic communities the rights they are due and keeping threatened languages from vanishing for posterity? This paper seeks to first analyse the processes that underlie linguistic imperialism, by tracing the history of legally enforced linguistic homogenisation in France, and then to mark out patterns of normative language regimes worldwide, before an analysis of international instruments on minority language rights, limitations thereof, and need for substantive overhaul. This paper is part linguistic research and part legal critique. The title has a quote attributed to Albert Camus which translates to "my fatherland is the French language".Read More
With the pronouncement of the judgments in Triveniben v. State of Gujarat,Mahendra Nath Das v. Union of India and Shatrughan Chauhan v. Unionof India, the Supreme Court has assumed to itself a 'post-mercy rejection' jurisdiction. Within the constitutional framework, on being awarded death penalty, convicts may, after exhausting certain judicial remedies, approach the President or the Governor, who are constitutionally empowered to grant pardons and reprieves. We argue that this right has often been abused by people who exercise it in the hope of delaying their execution and thereafter using such delay as a ground to seek commutation of their sentence. While the courts have taken note of this fact, they have chosen to rule in favour of the convicted persons whose mercy petitions have been rejected by the President. The convicts seek judicial recourse, in form of commutation of their death sentence, on the grounds there has been a delay in rejection of their clemency petition. We reason that the courts must accept certain inherent systemic features, which although cause delay, also prevent the failure of the constitutional machinery. The courts must consider intervention only in light of all the circumstances that lead to a fundamental change in circumstances since the original sentencing decision. The relevance of considering this fundamental change is that in the intervening period after the awarding of the sentence by the courts, the circumstances are now so different that had the judiciary been considering the case at the initial stage it would not have imposed the death penalty to begin with. This proposition, as laid down by the same Court in Triveniben case has over time been diluted. As is seen by the recent cases the judiciary has adopted a very convict-centric approach when considering commutation cases. To carve out an additional ground for clemency even after the convict has been awarded the death penalty by the judiciary and the executive has rejected their mercy petitions, is judicial overreach. In an attempt to conjure novel remedies for convicts from constitutional silences, the judiciary has completely turned a blind eye to justice for the victims, and society as a whole. In the process, it has in essence upset the constitutional scheme and assumed the power of granting mercy to convicts, which hitherto was the sole prerogative of the executive head. Read More
In May 2014, the Supreme Court of India delivered a sensational judgment banning certain bull-fighting practices. The Court, in its analysis, sought to bring animals under the protection of the rights discourse by stating that Article 21 of the Constitution of India could be applied to animal life. The Court stated that the term 'life' must be expansively interpreted. As animals form a crucial part of human beings' environment, their rights must also be protected under Article 21. This paper seeks to address the deeper implications of this judgment by examining the viability of such an approach. It argues that bringing animals within the ambit of rights is not only incompatible with the traditional jurisprudence of rights, but may also be an ineffective method of addressing the larger issue of protecting animals. It recommends a shift to a duty-based approach towards animal welfare which is more likely to succeed in ensuring the safe and humane treatment of animals by humans. Read More

Matt Price moved his family from Perth to Canberra 4 years ago to work in the Canberra office of the national newspaper, The Australian. He says that the editors wanted to incorporate his "slightly different point of view". He has always been a close follower of Australian politics, he completed a politics degree at university. He believes that letting the reader know what's really going on is crucial and that a political reporter's chief purpose is to act as a 'lie detector'.
GEORGE NEGUS: A bloke who can spot a political phoney in his opening paragraph, and then gently roast him for the rest of his column. Matt Price, as most of you will know, writes for the 'Australian' newspaper. He's Canberra-based, which means immersing himself in the lives, the promises, the peccadilloes and the backstabbing of our alleged political masters. Now, is that really a job for a grown man? You'd have to ask.

LAST FRIDAY, retired NBA commissioner David Stern thanked me via email for reporting on his league during his 30-year tenure. This came as a great surprise, because I don't cover his league that often, and because people in his position are rarely pleased when I do.
But David always seemed to be different in that regard, seemed to always get what many league and team executives and media directors I have encountered over my 32 years in this business have not.

Most Americans get a holiday on Memorial Day, but it is business as usual aboard the space shuttle and the international space station.
Amarillo astronaut Rick Husband and the rest of the STS-96 crew did get a few hours of rest Saturday morning after docking the shuttle to the international space station.
Here is the STS-96 crew's schedule for the rest of the Memorial Day weekend:
Because of the night-shift mission, the crew will go to sleep at 8:50 a.m. today and wake up at 4:50 p.m.
At 6:40 p.m., the crew is scheduled to enter the international space station. The space station pieces are arranged in a line: the docking adapter, the U.S. Node, and the Russian FCB (Functional Cargo Block).
Each module has isolation hatches, which can be closed for emergencies or while the station is unoccupied. U.S. astronaut Tammy Jernigan and Russian space traveler Valeri Tokarev will be the first members of the STS-96 crew to enter each space station module.
Husband and the rest of the STS-96 crew will help by operating cameras and preparing for the transfer operations.
At 9:35 p.m., Tokarev and Canadian astronaut Julie Payette are to change Russian battery charge regulators, known as MIRTS. The MIRTS haven't been working properly. The crew has received extra training for the repair.
Husband will have his opportunity to play 'fix-it' man at 10:35 p.m. when he diagnoses and repairs the U.S. Early Communications System. His assistant will be astronaut Dan Barry.
NASA added the Early Com system to provide almost continuous worldwide communications before the permanent communications system is installed on a later space station assembly mission. In comparison, the Russian communications system is designed for use only over Russian ground stations. The Early Com was intended as a temporary system, so it uses off-the-shelf components. Husband and Barry were trained to figure out which components are malfunctioning and replace them.
Husband, commander Kent Rominger and flight engineer Ellen Ochoa will be interviewed by NBC "Today," CBS "This Morning," and CNN at 4:50 a.m. Monday.
The crew will finish its Memorial day weekend by going to sleep at 8:20 a.m. Monday.

The crowns of Scotland and England were first formally united in 1603 when, on the death of Queen Elizabeth I, James VI of Scotland became simultaneously James I of England, establishing the dual monarchy. James VI had been notably successful, even after he left Scotland, in establishing a moderate Episcopalianism as the official church and isolating both the Catholics and the extreme Protestants, but his work was largely undone by the heavy-handedness of Charles I. Even then, the Covenanters in Scotland did not oppose the monarchy—only the actions of the reigning monarch and whilst Scottish religious sentiments were acutely divided between Presbyterian dissenters and Episcopalians who tended towards High Anglican and a degree of …

A wine collection requires a wine storage solution. A wine cellar in Orange County, California is the best place to store wines, and age them. This is a basic guide to follow in order to create an effective wine storage solution.
A Guide to Preparing a Custom Wine Cellar in California
Wines require a proper wine storage solution, in order to age properly and to be kept safe. A residential custom wine cellar in Orange County, California is an ideal wine storage solution, because it provides access to your wine collection any time. You also have the opportunity to customize your wine storage room's design to fit your unique preferences.
The construction of a wine cellar has to be properly planned, to make sure that the necessary conditions for ideal wine storage are met. By knowing the details of what makes a good wine storage solution, you can make sure that your wines, which are valuable investments, are protected.
What are the Ideal Custom Wine Cellar Conditions?
Wine storage experts actually vary in opinion on the optimum temperature levels for storing wines, but most recommend an average temperature of 55 degrees Fahrenheit, for all types of wine. Warmer temperatures can cause the premature aging of wines. A prematurely aged wine tastes bad. A temperature that is too cold, on the other hand, may not necessarily cause damage to your wines, but will slow down their development.
Besides temperature, humidity is another factor to consider for proper wine storage. Ideally, a wine cellar should have approximately 60 to 70% humidity. If a wine storage space is too humid, mold may start to form in the wine room, and even contaminate yours wines. A lack of humidity may cause wine corks to dry out and shrink. Consequently, air could enter the wine bottle and cause the oxidation of the wine.
Other factors that should be considered to achieve the ideal wine cellar conditions include avoiding excessive heat, Ultraviolet light, and vibration.
Where Should You Have Your Custom Wine Cellar Constructed?
One of the concerns that wine collectors raise when having a home wine cellar built regards the ideal location for the construction to take place. Ideally, wine cellars should be built below ground level. If you have a basement, it would be the best place to have the cellar built, because this area is generally cooler and more humid than other parts of the house. Most wine storage experts would recommend having it built in a corner of a basement, with two exterior walls, in an area free of windows.
If you do not have a basement or any area below ground, you can have your wine cellar constructed above ground, but, in this case, you must give extra attention to properly insulating and sealing the storage room.
Decide on an Effective Wine Cellar Cooling System
Whether you have your wine cellar built below ground or above ground, you need to decide on the type and location of a wine cellar cooling system. The most common type of cooling systems are wall mounted units that exhaust warm air into an adjacent room (one that is at least the same size as the wine cellar room). Ideally, the ambient temperature of the venting area should not be higher than 85 degrees Fahrenheit; otherwise, the cooling unit won't work efficiently. Other types of wine cellar refrigeration systems available on the market include split systems and special units. A lot of these types of cooling systems require installation by a licensed HVAC professional.
The Construction of the Residential Wine Cellar
Before installing insulation and drywall, make sure that the necessary electrical work is done. Also, a 6 mil pol/plastic (sold in rolls or sheets) should be stapled over the studs before the insulation is applied. Ideally, R19 should be used for insulation, and this requires 2 x 6 framing. You will also need to install a vapor barrier, which is necessary in controlling the humidity of your storage room. A good wine storage solution has a humidity level that is higher than the humidity level of the outside environment. It is the vapor barrier that separates these two variances of humidity, and keeps the higher humidity from flowing out of the cellar room. Moreover, in cold and humid areas, the vapor barrier prevents warm and moist air from entering the wine cellar, thus eliminating excess condensation buildup from the wine cellar cooling unit.
After electrical rough in and insulation, ½ inch plywood sheeting will be secured to the cellar walls to anchor the wine racking. Some wine cellar builders use standard ½ t0 ¾ inch sheet rock, but most wine storage experts recommend using a moisture resistant "green board".
The wine cellar door is another essential factor in creating an effective storage solution. Choose a solid core, exterior grade door. Make sure that it is weather-stripped and sealed completely, to create an air tight environment inside the wine room. Should you decide to utilize a glass door, make sure that the glass is thermo-paned and tinted.
Choose the Right Wine Racking System
Generally, a wine collection contains a variety of wines that come in bottles of different shapes and sizes. When planning for a custom wine cellar, you need to choose the right wine racking system, that can accommodate all of the wine bottles in your collection. Also, consider the flexibility of your wine racks. Should your collection grow, you will want to be able to add more racking to accommodate more wine bottles. Wine racks in Orange County, California can either be modular or custom-designed.
Wine racks can be made from a variety of materials, too. The material that you choose depends on the design you want for your wine cellar. Wooden wine racks are great for those who desire a classic or traditional appeal, while metal wine racks are suitable for a modern or contemporary look.

I love my crassula aborescens (silver dollar jade) I ordered from them! Actually, that's what I ordered, but instead they sent me a half dead lavender scallops plant. Luckily I didn't spend a lot of money! I was considering throwing it out, but I'm going to keep it and nurse it back to better health.

Let's add one more negative comment to the many already submitted for Cactus King. Quality was lousy like many others report. I can grow out the pitiful plants and can live with that. The worst part was the two relatively expensive items missing from my order. No response to me or any attempt to correct the issue so far. Maybe if I hear back, and receive either a refund or have the missing items sent to me I will revise this review to neutral. I order a lot of plants via the mail, and now regret that I failed to check here first. In the meantime, stay away from these schiiesters.

PLEASE, PLEASE read this commentary if you have ever considered making an online purchase from Cactus King. Having ordered from CK, I firmly believe this business qualifies as a criminal enterprise and that its operator, Mr. Lyn Rathburn is unscrupulous and vile. In a word, he is an all-out abuser. These adjectives should be used sparingly in speech, reserved only for those rare individuals you might meet once or twice in a lifetime. Mr. Rathburn qualifies as that one or two people I have had the great misfortune of meeting who genuinely deserves to be addressed as such.

Have since found out that the one cactus species I received with roots from this so-called business wasn\'t even the correct species! They advertise (and still do) they have Arthrocereus melanurus \'Estevesei\' - however, the plant has flowered and it is definitely a dirt-cheap, common Cleistocactus winteri (Hildewinteria aureispina)!! NEVER, NEVER, NEVER order from this crook!

The "Haageocereus chosicensis" that Cactus King sent me that I suspected was ALSO misidentified finally bloomed this summer. And, guess what?! It *was* misidentified and NOT what I had ordered!
Instead, it turned out to be a relatively common hedgehog species - Echinocereus websterianus.
***ALSO - Be sure to pay via PAYPAL Only if you dare order from him - if you do NOT receive what you ordered, open a PayPal Dispute and THEY will refund your money!! AND, CactusKing will *NOT* be able to charge you back ANY amount of money!***

PLEASE BEWARE of this horrible vendor. I purchased (5) 1-gallon plants from this vendor and I wish I could post a picture of what I actually received for the $60 I spent. What I received would NOT even fill a quart size plant offering, not even close. I was sure there just had to have been an honest mistake in the order fulfillment so I contacted Lyn Rathburn with a pleasant email explaining the situation. Well...I was met with someone who had absolutely NO interest in hearing my concern, addressing it, validating it, or making it right -- not even for one second was that entertained. Rather, she was impolite, crude, accusatory, angry, rude, and had NO interest whatsoever in helping me. She basically wrote "You got what you bought" -- as if that was supposed to make me feel better...? As if that's customer service? There is absolutely no way to return the order to her as she doesn't accept returns -and- if you try to object to the charge via your credit card, she will then charge you an additional $125 for that chargeback -- that's actually in her fine print. My credit card company said they've never, ever seen anything like what's in her fine print. I paid a LOT of money for 5 plants and what I got was literally almost nothing at all. This woman WILL RIP YOU OFF and not have any qualms about it, none whatsoever. BEWARE!

I was looking for some Agave cactus to place in planters on a south-facing deck and found The Cactus King site. Clicked on the 'agave' link and sure enough, found a large variety of agave cacti noted as 5 gal., 1 gal, 2 gal., etc. All the pictures showed the cactus potted in nursery pots and nowhere in any plant description did it say that these cactus were shipped 'bare root'. On May 22nd, I purchased 4, 5 gal. and 2 1 gal. plants and checked out using Paypal. I nearly gagged at the shipping costs ($97.50), but assumed that was because of the size/weight of potted plants. The Cactus king received my payment immediately and that was noted on the web site. Then, 5 days go by and I'm logging on to the site for a status update on the order, i.e., shipping information - anything. No updates were posted. I sent 2 emails over 2 days with no response. I finally called The Cactus King a week after ordering and the owner said they would ship out the next day (Friday). Still no updated info on the web site but on 6/2, one beat-up, obviously used box arrived with a hand-written address label and a USPS label saying that they had shipped a week earlier on 5/27 (2 days prior to my call when I was told they would ship on 5/30. The shipping label stated that he had paid $22.08 for shipping. Upon opening the box, I found limp (literally) cactus shoved into the box with wadded up newspaper. They were undersized, unlabeled, not in pots and covered in brown spots. Talk about horrified and disappointed. I wasn't prepared to go scrounging around for 5 gal pots and the special potting soil (including trying to find perlite) to plant these things, and even if I got them planted, it looked to me like they didn't have much chance of surviving given their condition about being in a hot truck for a week.

We ordered two 5 gallon size agave plants. The first arrived and was in decent condition. We paid $50.00 for this one. The only issue we had was with the cost of postage. We were charged $25.00 but the actual cost was $12.72, an excessive markup in our opinion. However, when the second plant arrived it was barely a 1 gallon size. In fact it was nothing more than an offshoot, commonly called a �pup�, with damaged leaves and only a very few roots. We paid $75.00 for this. We called the Cactus King company and were told it was because they had been having cold weather. If that had been the case then the first plant would have exhibited the same deficiencies. That pitiful example of a plant should never have been shipped. In addition, we were once more charged $25.00 for postage but the actual cost was only $5.17, an even more excessive markup. The difference in postage costs alone demonstrates the difference in the sizes of the two plants. We have photographs that show both the dramatic difference between the plants as well as the deplorable condition of the second plant.

Jason Scott Smith: Remember the CWA, A Government Jobs Program That Worked: EchoesRoundup: Historians' Take
Jason Scott Smith, an associate professor of history at the University of New Mexico, is the author of "A Concise History of the New Deal," forthcoming from Cambridge University Press. The opinions expressed are his own.
What do you do when you've lost your job and winter is coming? That's the dilemma now facing more than 13 million Americans who are out of work. It's also the dilemma that faced more than 10 million Americans in November 1933.
By then, the Great Depression was four years old, the nation's new president, Franklin D. Roosevelt, had been in office for seven months, and the U.S. was about to enter one of the worst winters in its history.
On Nov. 9, 1933, Roosevelt announced the creation of a new government agency, the Civil Works Administration, with an eye toward using government employment to jump-start job creation. The CWA's story resonates with our present moment, not least as an obvious example of government's ability to swiftly provide, as FDR put it, "a smashing answer for those cynical men who say that a democracy cannot be honest and efficient." The details of how Roosevelt and his administration made the CWA a success that winter -- and of how the CWA was ultimately killed off -- can help us grasp some of the political risks and possible benefits for politicians, like President Barack Obama, looking to use governmental authority to create jobs today.
FDR had made the relief of mass unemployment a central focus of his first inaugural address. Although remembered today primarily for the statement that "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself," the speech also contained Roosevelt's brief for the New Deal. "Our greatest primary task is to put people to work," he declared....

Great price for a London apartment
This apartment was ideal for our group.
It was comfortable and clean and easy access to Arsenal tube station to get about in London. There is a Tesco Express conveniently located across the road from the apartment. Customer service and key collection was very good and overall our stay was a positive experience.

Room OK for One Night.
Boiler fuse had presumably blown, as no hot water available.
Sound insulation quality v.poor. Apartment 3 opp. to us had a front door which had evidently been previously forced open & thus crudely mended. The curtains were of insufficient width to cover the window in the front bedroom, allowing passers by from the footpath to see into the room. Upon check-in, the credit card machine in reception was evidently a bad connection wire, and yet they accused my card of declining the transaction 3 times; luckily we had sufficient cash to pay for the apartment, and my bank confirmed after that my card was fine.

Get what you pay for. Very basic
Make proper enquires about your allocated rooms
I arrived at the hotel to check in and was told that the apartment I had booked wasn't available.
The guy behind the desk said it was fully booked. I asked him to ring short lets who said there wasa maintenance problem. They offered me another apartment. It was ok, definitely not as nice as the one I had booked. when I said I wasn't happy they just said you can take what we are offering or find something else. Not very professional at all. in the end we ended up staying as we had two children asleep in the car. There was a plus point. The hotel did offer us free breakfast in the morning. I would advise if booking this place make sure that you confirm rooms with them before you book.

worth the money but a little cramped
The flat was well worth the money.
it was clean and the beds were comfortable. It felt a bit small for 7 of us, we couldn't have all fitted round the table to eat. it is well situated for visiting London and there is a Tesco express just across the road for essentials. Would recommend it to therers.

Happy to use again & recommend
No Frills - Hassle free check in and check out just a matter of dropping keys in a box in the hall.
Apartment clean and tidy and furnished to a good standard with new appliances including a washing machine. Beds a little small, may have become an irritation on a longer stay. Advertised as suitable for 6. There were four of us and that would be the limit as far as I can see. A little terrace / garden area. untended but fine to sit out & have a smoke. Right next to the Emirates Stadium, handy if you like football, probably a hassle if you don't. Handy tube station.

I lurve the sideways lunge in SP. Will admit even attempted it a few times on ice (with no success), requires so much strength on the dragging leg!
That is a nice moment! I like the SP better than the LP, though. The rumor that Davis & White are going to help Yuzu with his Notre Dame de Pair cuts is interesting. It is sure that Charlie White's hobby is cutting music, one that he has had for some time, (several years ago he put this on his icenetwork bio), and he has obviously got the music from ND, because he got the bells cut into D&W's FD very quickly.
I wonder whether this rumor is true?
Hanyu to appear on the cover of Number magazine's next issue!
It's not forbidden, but a better place is in The Edge, because fans of all the coaches' skaters are interested, not just fans of one particular skater or another. More people see The Edge thread than see the Fan Fest threads.
And in fact, there is now such a thread on The Edge.
I hope you will contribute to it.
IMO, Orser's career as a coach is interesting.
He coached YuNa Kim to gold, but her biggest need was freedom from paparazzi, which the Cricket Club provides, rather than coaching. After she won the Olympics she left, and the reasons why are not entirely clear.
Orser has clearly been good for Javier. I don't think there's any question.
But he wasn't particularly good for Christina Gao, who has improved leaps & bounds since she left him.
And Adam Rippon stagnated with Orser, and seems to be doing a bit better with Arutunian.
1000th post!!!!
I bought the Aoi Honou photobook. Maybe three weeks to arrive.
HANYU SP 4T 3A - both clean, 3Lz-2T(3T). P1 watched his Pooh(tissue box cover) at the rinkside also watching Yuzuru practicing.
HANYU FS 4T(weak landing), 4S clean, most his jumps were clean, and did his last spin energetically.
HANYU(Yuzuru): I'm going to do what I can do, nothing should affect myself. I'm so happy with Javier's(FERNANDEZ) outstanding performance at Europeans.
Thanks for the 4CC practice / press conference reports, ser22! Happy to see English summary from Pigeon Post Event Reports
I hope the recent quad successes of Javier, Kevin, and Aaron do not push Yuzuru into excessive jump training again...

However, the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality said that may not be the case.
DEQ Engineer Teresa Hiebert said conditions could begin to improve this weekend but there's a good chance they could get worse.
"We can see intermittent improvements in the next week but it's likely to last for a while," said Hiebert. "The National Weather Service said potentially Sunday, but let's not stick our hopes on that."
DEQ officials advise residents to stay indoors as much as possible, especially in the early morning and evening hours. Hiebert said although conditions won't be as bad as last week, there's a good chance they'll worsen over the next few days.

South Africa captain AB de Villiers has all but confirmed Dale Steyn will miss tomorrow's Champions Trophy match against Pakistan.
The Proteas have already sent Morne Morkel home injured from the competition and were unable to call on Steyn for their opening defeat to India on Thursday due to a side strain.
De Villiers stopped just short of ruling out the much-feared paceman for the follow-up match at Edgbaston but gave little chance of a recovery.
"The final decision hasn't been made yet, but it's not looking good," he said.
"Chances are that he'll only be ready for the last game. We're still hanging on to that last little bit of hope that he could wake up tomorrow morning and do a bit of a fitness test and look good for the game, but it's not looking good at all."

Historical Traveler Reviews U232 Hotel Barcelona
Loved the hotel, loved the city
Although I can see why this hotel isn't ideally situated for many tourists, I happened to find the location more than agreeable. Yes, there are many hotels closer to the Ramblas and Tourist areas of Town, but we walked into & back from town every day & night without too much trouble ( and i would not class myself as very fit). The location is also central for walking to the Nou Camp and the Park, both of which are a 30-40min stroll.
The hotel itself was very clean with a great decor. Everything worked and I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone staying for more than a couple of nights.
I Liked It
I stayed at this hotel in June, 2004. I stayed in a double room for 1 person. The room was very well appointed, however, the bed was pushed up against a wall and there was just about enough room to get around the other side to the bathroom and closet. It was an internal room so it was nice and quiet for afternoon naps. The location was good - near to the metro and far enough away from the tacky ramblas [why do all the tourists congregate there - it's a mystery to me]. Near to excellent restaurants - you will find that you need some spanish to understand menus etc though. Nice hotel - would stay again if they could gurantee me a bigger room.
Just stayed for 2 nights with some friends, hotel was extremely clean, rooms lovely and welcoming, beds comfortable, air conditioning a must, but most of all the staff were brilliant, we did not know where to go to eat and drink etc so they gave us a list of places to go which were all excellent, SO, Thanks For A Lovely Stay!!
Nunez Urgell a wise Choice
I stayed at the Nunez Urgell from 1st to 7th. June 2004. For me it turned out to be a wise choice. I obtained a good rate through trip advisor. I was impressed with the efficiency or the hotel and the quality of the rooms.
I was also very impressed with the two high speed computors available at no charge.
The neighbourhood was clean and quite secure, if not exciting, and certainly not as tacky as the Ramblas area about which I heard many complaints. It was convenient to a number of interesting reasonably priced restaurants and easily accesibly to most tourist attractions.
I would certainly stay there again.
Nice hotel
I loved this hotel even though I know it is not a five stars choice. The only problem with the hotel is that you really need to use the tube in order to reach the central part of Barcellona. There is a tube station one block away. If you prefer to be closer to the "Rambla", choose another place.
Besides all that the hotel is very nice. Rooms are large and clean, very nice bathrooms, great breakfast, friendly staff. There are no restaurants in the hotel.
A good value for the money
We really appreciated Nunez Urgell for what it is; clean, very attractive, and well located with a great breakfast room, bar and meeting rooms. The hotel isnot located in a tourist distirct and is not oriented to tourists' needs. Rather, it is a hotel that caters to business activities and domestic travellers. If you don't speak Spanish very well, you may have difficulties getting your needs understood and satisfied. However, we were very happy with Nunez Urgell and would have no hestitation in staying there again.
Barcelona is a great city
The hotel nunez urgell hotel is in a good location about 20mins walk to the centre or 5 mins by taxi- cheap fares. The hotel is reasonably priced ,very clean ,polite staff, great breakfast. Our room was quit and a very good size. I would recommend it. Don't stay in room 101 , cramped and beside the laundry!
Not what it indicated to be
When we booked the Nunez, we were led to believe that it had: 1. A guest laundromat (turned out to be a laundry service for an exorbitant price-no washer machine or dryer on the premises), 2. Currency exchange on the premises (currency exchange was actually down the block and was opened only certain hours, 3. A pool and fitness center located 100 meters away free of charge (the distance was correct, however there was a 3.50euro charge per day and the pool was an olympic pool with lanes, not making it conducive to the average amateur swimmer, 4. There were no bathrobes in the rooms, 5. Although there was 220 wiring, the outlets did not fit our curling irons, clock radioes, or camcorder battery rechargers with one prong that is wider than the other, 6. Some of the staff were polite-we had several messages left for us by our friends and relatives, yet when we asked the desk if there were any messages, we were answered with a rather curt "NO". My advice is to call the hotel to determine exactly what it offers. My advice is also to speak in Spanish, as the staff does not have much patience for the english speaking tourist, which appeared to be common among many of Barcelona's residents. On the positive side, the housekeeping staff did an excellent job of keeping our room very clean. The hotel's location is good, as it is within 10 minutes by taxi to all the major attractions. I would however not stay there again, because of the barely tolerated to "us" atmosphere.

Crazy BP readings
Mom of two girls: 12/30/08, 11/26/12
Comments (3)
Both numbers don't have to go up in order for you to have HBP.
In fact most Dr's consider the bottom number to be the most important in regards to HBP and how it can/will effect you and your LO.
Are you on BP meds? Are these reading taken at your Dr's office, hospital, at home?
Just call me Toaster (Old school gone incognito;)
Mom to 2 boys & Baby Girl (Nov 2012)!
If either number is elevated, you're considered to have high BP. If both are up it's even more concerning but high BP no matter what isn't good. The dyastolic number(bottom) is actually more important than the systolic(top). If your protein is good (which it is!) they should just monitor your BP for a more steady high and do another urinalysis later on. BP can raise for many reasons. Good Luck!
Mr&Mrs 2009 ~ DS1 2010 ~ DS2 2013 ~ Rainbow DD 2016
BO-D&C @10weeks 5/2015 ~ CP 6/2015
Anything under 300 is normal in pregnant women so your protein is quite good at the moment.
Are you taking your bp's resting? Your numbers are definitely creeping up there but not really to emergent levels necessarily. When is your next appointment? Like pp said, the numbers are independent. One can be fine and the other elevated.
