Mount Gay Eclipse Silver
Review: Mount Gay Eclipse Silver Rum 81.5/100
a review by Chip Dykstra (Aka Arctic Wolf)
Posted December 3, 2010
The tradition of producing rum on Barbados dates to an early period in the seventeenth century with evidence suggesting small-scale distillation as early as 1637. The first recorded written usage of the words 'Rum Bullion' appears in a document from the Island in 1651 which describes the sugar cane distillate from Barbados as "a hot and terrible liquor". This is in fact the earliest recorded usage of the word Rum as it relates to the distilled spirit anywhere in the world. As such, Barbados is generally considered the birthplace of rum. Evidence exists of stills in use at the Mount Gay Plantation site as early as 1667, and we have confirmation (with the first written records) of rum produced on the site in 1703. This makes Mount Gay Rum one of the oldest (if not the oldest) rum brand in the world.
In the Bottle 4/5
Mount Gay Silver Eclipse Rum recently introduced a new bottle design. Gone is the typical tall bar room style bottle which is in use by so many spirits companies. The new image for the Eclipse rum is a modern, slim, oval-shaped bottle with a bold, eye-catching label which properly reflects the heritage of Mount Gay Rum in a contemporary style.
I find the bottle and label design slick and attractive with bright colours and bold fonts which are easy to read and eye-catching. When I set the bottle in my rum cabinet, it stands out clearly against the other bottles inviting me to choose Mount Gay Eclipse rather than another rum.
I so wish that the metal topper would have been scrapped in favour of a plastic threaded closure. I remain convinced that metal toppers do not work well in my climate. Perhaps in the south, where extremes of temperature and humidity are not as variable as where I live, those metal screw caps work fine. But in my climate I always seem to have problems with evaporation after the bottle is opened.
In the Glass 8/10
The Eclipse Silver Rum is a clear spirit. I held my glass up to the light and against various backgrounds trying to detect some colour but I found no trace of any at all. The tilted glass shows a light oily sheen which very slowly released stubborn crawling legs. A gentle inviting aroma begins to creep up from the glass.
When I took time to nose the glass I found that the white rum displayed an inviting aroma to my nostrils above the glass. The scents and smells of light butterscotch were evident as was a firm presence of banana, a mild citrus zest, and a light minty aroma. As the glass decanted a vague grassy vegetal scent began to waft upwards as well. Allowing the glass to breathe resulted in a strengthening of this 'grassiness' which seemed to imply a more complex character than I may have originally anticipated.
In the Mouth 49/60
I began by sipping the Mount Gay Eclipse Silver neat in my glass without ice. The initial flavour was slightly acidic and perhaps a little harsh. I was perhaps beguiled by the inviting nose and was expecting more sweetness than I received. The caramel and butterscotch flavours in the rum are soft. Flashes of vanilla flavour are present. As I sip, I taste impressions of soft ripe banana and citrus zest. As well, hints of a vague minty candy flavour are apparent.
I decided to build a few cocktails to see if I could discover the range of the rum's mix-ability. I began with a simple rum and cola by adding a small splash of cola to my glass. Increasing the ratio of cola to rum slowly, I found that at a ratio of 1 part rum to 2 parts cola the mixture tasted nice, but throughout this cola mixing experiment the Silver Eclipse did not seem to excel. I think perhaps the sweetness of the cola was not where this particular rum wanted to find itself.
Next I made a simple daiquiri. Mixed with lime and simple syrup the Eclipse rum tasted much better (Very good!). The character of the Eclipse seemed to push through the daiquiri and made it more impressive. I will have to experiment a little more, but I can say with confidence that this rum is a very good daiquiri rum. I had a similar experience when I made a mojito, and my conclusion is that the Mount Gay Silver Eclipse Rum is particularly well suited to tropical citrus cocktails.
In the Throat 12/15
When sipped straight, the Silver Eclipse had an almost Tequila like feel in both the delivery and the exit. A spicy citrus is left in the mouth and a grassy vegetal trail is left in the throat. But when the rum is mixed in a citrus style cocktail such as a daiquiri, the sensation is much different. The finish of the cocktail is lengthened by the oily texture of the rum and the finish is long and nice. Since the rum is a mixing rum I chose to put more weight on the finish displayed in the cocktail than in the finish displayed neat.
The Afterburn 8.5/10
When sipped neat the rum displays many elements which I find underwhelming. But when mixed, in particular with citrus, the rum finds its legs and becomes much more impressive. The rum has unexpected character which thrives in fruity cocktails.
If you are interested in comparing more scores, here is a link to my other published Rum Reviews.
Suggested Recipes
Mount Gay Eclipse Silver lends itself quite well to traditional cocktails such as Mojitos and Daiquiris. Here's another simple drink that it plays well with.
Rum and Tonic
Tonic water contains a substance called quinine which complements the piny notes of gin, and hence the famous Gin and Tonic is a very popular bar drink. I believe that the quinine in tonic water is also a nice complement to the grassy vegetal tones I detect in the Mount Gay Silver Eclipse.
1 1/2 oz Mount Gay Silver Eclipse Rum
1/2 oz Tonic Water
Slice of Lime quartered
In an old-fashioned glass place the lime cut into four quarters.
Fill the glass with crushed ice and add the Rum and Tonic.
My Final Score is out of 100 and you may (loosely) interpret the score as follows:
0-25 A spirit with a rating this low would actually kill you.
26-49 Depending upon your fortitude you might actually survive this.
50 -59 You are safe to drink this…but you shouldn't.
60-69 Substandard swill which you may offer to people you do not want to see again.
70-74 Now we have a fair mixing rum or whisky. Accept this but make sure it is mixed into a cocktail.
75-79 You may begin to serve this to friends, again probably still cocktail territory.
80-84 We begin to enjoy this spirit neat or on the rocks. (I will still primarily mix cocktails)
85-89 Excellent for sipping or for mixing!
90-94 Definitely a primary sipping spirit, in fact you may want to hoard this for yourself.
95-97.5 The Cream of the Crop
98+ I haven't met this bottle yet…but I want to.
Very loosely we may put my scores into terms that you may be familiar with on a Gold, Silver, and Bronze medal scale as follows:
70 – 79.5 Bronze Medal (Recommended only as a mixer)
80 – 89.5 Silver Medal (Recommended for sipping and or a high quality mixer)
90 – 95 Gold Medal (Highly recommended for sipping and for sublime cocktails.)
95.5+ Platinum Award (Highest Recommendation)

Excellent review on my first taste of this rum. I was likewise surprised it's a bit "hot" on first impression, but very pleasing with ice or mixed. Will be bookmarking your site.

Would it be fair to say you prefer the standard bottling of Mount Gay?

Man. I wonder how long it will take to know if the players union is able to get Jacobs released...
A fresh and motivated Jacobs splitting carries with Wilson would be a nightmare!
(I doubt this will happen, just dreaming)
This is why we picked up Wilson in the first round. Bradshaw has been hurt every season since being drafted. This is Wilson's chance, just like Bradshaw had when Ward went down. Make it happen!
Somewhat good news, AB not ruled out for Sunday:
Mood: WOOF!

The Hope College Concert Series welcomes Pomegranates to the Park Theater in Holland on October 26th at 8pm.
Pomegranates, hailing from Cincinnati, Ohio, will be headlining the evening with their infectious and diverse indie rock sound. They have consistently wowed critics and fans with both their energetic live shows and their four full-length releases. Striking a balance between immediately catchy songwriting and exciting innovation, each of the band's four albums show the band's creativity to a greater extent.
The band's second album Everybody, Come Outside! offered a fresh take on an upbeat indie rock sound. Paste Magazine said about it, "It's hard not to get swept up in the cascading guitars, chant-along gang vocals, hand-clap rhythms and overarching, almost-childlike hopefulness." The Hope College Concert Series brought the band to Holland after the release of this album about 3 years ago.
The release of the fourth Pomegranates album Heaven, which was released this summer, marks the band's continued success and talent. CityBeat refers to this newest release as "a stunning work of art that manages to top not only the Poms' past three albums, but also most "big name" releases this year so far."
The Hope College Concert Series brought Pomegranates to Holland about 3 years ago, and after that fantastic performance, it became clear that the band deserved continued attention and support. Hosting the show in Holland's Park Theater allows for the excitement and energy of the band's live sound to be featured and to encourage the audience's interaction, and it also offers collaboration with an active and valuable local venue.
In addition to the concert, the Concert Series will sponsor an open conversation with the members of the band.
Tickets are currently on sale and are $5.00 for Hope College students and $10.00 for the general public. Tickets will be available for purchase online at https://tickets.hope.edu/ticketing. The ticket office at the DeVos Fieldhouse can be called at (616) 395-7890. Any remaining tickets will be sold at the door.
The DeVos Fieldhouse is located at 222 Fairbanks Avenue, between Ninth and 11th streets. The Park Theater is located at 248 South River, at the intersection at River and 10th.
Doors open at 7:30 p.m. and the opener will begin at 8:00 p.m.

Peugeot's first car appeared in 1889, making Peugeot the oldest continuous car brand on the market, and the second oldest car manufacturer.
In 1912, an important step is made in the history of French coach-building when Jean-Henry Labourdette creates the famous "skiff", for Rene de Knyff, on a Panhard 20 HP frame. Shaped as a boat, without doors, the structure follows traditional naval carpentry methods. The mahogany body is fixed to the frame with visible nails. This first model delivered by the Depujols shipyard weighed only 180 kilograms, including windscreen, mudgaurds and four seats. Labourdette's Skiff bodies were applied to many different cars including Rolls-Royce, Hispano Suiza, Reault, Peugeot and more.
Richard C. Paine Jr., the Seal Cove Auto Museum's founder, acquired the 1913 Peugeot "skiff" in 1964 when he purchased the fabled Dr. Samuel L. Scher collection. Dr. Scher had, in turn, acquired the car from his close friend James Melton after the closing of Melton's Autorama Museum in Hypoluxo, Florida. Melton described the Peugeot as "one of the finest cars in our collection" in his book, "Bright Wheels Rolling."

Asia pharmaceutical industry is gearing up to be at the centre of the global market and most pharmaceutical companies in the region expect this shift to happen fast. Fifty eight per cent of companies believe the centre of gravity of the global pharmaceutical market will be in Asia rather than North America and Europe in the near future. This confidence is expressed by domestic companies and multi-national companies (MNCs) alike in a new report from PwC.
The report, Gearing up for a Global Gravity Shift , is based on in-depth interviews with 185 senior pharmaceutical executives across nine different territories in the region; China, India, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam.

Reviews of this property
Wonderful apartment! Location is excellent. Very clean and charming. The woman who let us in was very nice and helpful. We enjoyed the stay very much!
We loved this apartment. It was well equipped and very comfortable. Great location. We couldn't have asked for more.
I express my gratitude to Renata for providing comfortable apartments !!! We are very well and warmly welcomed and told where lushche and tasty lunch , access to parks and shopping in the city !!! Apartment with a beautiful view out of the window , in the heart of Gdansk !!! All very pleasant , clean and beautiful !!! We will arrive to you again !!!
We had good contact with Renata. She gave us directions to get to the apartment. There we met a kind woman who showed us the apartment. She didn't speak English but with some drawings and hand signs she managed to explain everything to us. The apartment was really clean. Everything we needed was there. Cook equipment, towels etc. The bed was good, only a little hard, but that's a personal thing. The apartment is right in the centre of the old town en near everything. Only a few meters to the water, to a supermarket and some nice restaurants and bars. Just perfect! We would definitely recommend it to anyone!!
We liked! This was really good deal : cheap price, fast Wlan, nice bed, good location between railway station, main street in old town and canal. Apartment was clean, shower worked. Kitchen tools were enough to make breakfast ( even espresso) In the Street Szeroka,( just on the corner ) you can find tiny shop, open until 23, bigger food market, bars, Spanish and Italian restaurants etc... Ps: There is no lift, so if stairs to 3.floor is problem, this is not the best place then.
It is not like the service. By Mail agreed on one thing, in fact, it was quite another. Poor working heating, it was cold at night . The only plus is the location in the city center .
Lovely location in Gdansk Old Town. Good value for money. Good communication with the owner and cleaning lady. Clean and well equipped. Close to very nice restaurants, cafes, and the docks and historical area. Parking (payable, but not expensive) outside. 20 minutes from airport. Problem with shower leaking that I mentioned to the cleaner, and also the sofa bed is 'Ikea', very small for 2 people and at all comfy. A proper Polish sofa bed would be better, or a proper bed in the alcove instead of the table and chairs.

"This bible changed the world." - Kirk Cameron
Giving God's Word Back to the People
The Bible is the best-selling book of all time. But for centuries, it wasn't available in any common language -- only scribes and clergy men had access to it. If you were just a regular English speaker, you couldn't read and study God's Word for yourself.
The high church and tyrannical state liked it that way. In fact, one of the first English Bibles, authorized by King Henry VIII after he declared himself head of the church, came to be called the "Chained Bible" because it was chained to the pulpit so no one could take it home.
If you can't study the Bible for yourself, you have to rely on the words of men. After the Reformation broke out, the common people were less willing than ever to take the Pope's or the King's word for it. People wanted to see for themselves what the Bible said.
And that's where the Geneva Bible came in. The New Testament of the Geneva Bible was published first in 1557. The entire Bible followed in 1560 and became an immediate best-seller. It went through numerous editions and printings culminating in the final edition, the 1599 Geneva Bible, which went through many more printings because of its popularity.
The Geneva Bible: A Bible of Firsts
The Geneva Bible was the first English Bible to use cross-references. It was the first to use verse numbers for easy reference and memorization. It had extensive notes throughout to help explain and apply the text. It was the first English Bible to translate the Old Testament directly out of the Hebrew. It was the first to be printed in roman (rather than gothic) type for easy reading. It was really the first English Bible published for common men -- the first "study Bible."
The Geneva Bible was created to help even the most unscholarly readers understand God's Word for themselves. It was no "Chained Bible." And because of this, the monarchs of England and the elitists in the high church feared it would upset the civil and ecclesiastical hierarchy they had worked so hard to build and maintain.
A Mighty Weapon Against Tyranny
The Geneva Bible got its name from the fact that it was conceived and printed in Geneva, Switzerland when a number of Protestant scholars fled there from "Bloody Mary." With the bloodthirsty narrow-mindedness of Mary's Roman Catholic monarchism fresh on their minds, these Protestant refugee-scholars were eager to free the Bible from the self-serving distortions of popes and kings.
John Calvin and John Knox endorsed the Geneva Bible and had some hand in its popularity. They were active and vocal in their opposition to the "divine right of kings" doctrine. They thought that the Pope and his bishops had polluted the purity of the Gospel for their own ends.
Knox and Calvin, as well as the other Reformers, wanted the Bible to speak for itself. The Geneva Bible fulfilled that need. It nurtured liberty of conscience and freedom of thought. A generation of men and women raised on this Bible would not tolerate tyranny in church or state.
King James's Authorized Replacement
Recognizing that the Geneva Bible and its notes were undermining the authority of the monarchy, King James I of England commissioned the "Authorized Version," commonly known as the King James Bible, as its replacement. The King James Version did not include any of the inflammatory footnotes, of course, but it also altered key translations to make them seem more favorable to episcopal and monarchial forms of government.
But the people were not fooled. The Pilgrims and Puritans preferred the Geneva Bible over the King James Bible, not trusting the king's purported good faith. The Geneva Bible was brought over on the Mayflower, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the Geneva translation and footnotes were the biblical foundation for the American Republic.
The 1599 Geneva Bible Restoration Project
When it was first printed, the Geneva Bible was the most reader-friendly version of the Bible ever created. Numerous innovations made it ideal for the common reader.
Since the sixteenth century, other Bible publishers have built on the wisdom of the Geneva Protestants. In fact, today, it is nearly impossible to find a version of the English Bible that does not include chapter and verse numbers, cross-references, roman typography, and a translation from the original source languages in straight-forward contemporary language -- all of which were originally unique to the Geneva Bible. Other Bible publishers have adopted the spirit of the Geneva Protestants to such an extent that the 1599 Geneva Bible is comparatively difficult for modern readers to understand. The contemporary spelling, typography, and diction of 1599 is not current anymore.
Does that mean that we should throw the Geneva Bible out as some dusty relic? No! It is one of the most historically influential books in English-speaking history, and its notes and translation still have much to teach us today.
If it is worthwhile to read Shakespeare and Milton, then it is worthwhile to read the Bible that informed the minds of Shakespeare and Milton. If it is worthwhile to preserve our American Republic, then it is worthwhile to draw fresh inspiration from the book that ended the age of kings.
But reading a facsimile edition of the Geneva Bible (though it may be productive to scholars) is beyond tedious for the regular reader -- with its use of the long s (an s that looks like an f), its cramped archaic typography, and outdated spellings and word usage.
This is why Tolle Lege Press undertook the Geneva Bible Restoration Project. Using the most complete edition of the Geneva Bible -- The 1599 Geneva Bible -- we painstakingly re-typeset it with modern typography and spelling. All of the original footnotes are there. The original translation is there. Every word that put fire in the bellies of Reformers and Patriots is included.
This edition of the 1599 Geneva Bible removes the major obstacles for the contemporary reader, returning this historic Bible to its rightful place of influence and importance. The original 1599 Geneva Bible gave God's Word back to the people. Tolle Lege Press wants that tradition to continue.

What makes for a good folding? In proteins the usual measure is the Gibbs free energy, a thermodynamic quantity that depends on both energy and entropy. If you could tug on the ends of a protein chain and straighten it out, the result would be a state of high energy and low entropy. The energy is high because amino acids that "want" to be close together are held at a distance; the entropy is low because the straight chain is a highly ordered configuration. When you let go, the chain springs back into a shape with lower energy and higher entropy, changes that translate into a lower value of the Gibbs free energy. The "native" state of a protein—the folding it adopts under natural conditions—is usually assumed to be the state with the lowest possible free energy.
Prototeins can get along with a simpler folding criterion. Standard practice is to rank foldings simply by counting H-H contacts. It's more like keeping score than measuring energy. If the H's are viewed as analogues of hydrophobic amino acids, the scoring system reflects the tendency of hydrophobic groups to seek shelter from water. But the prototein model is so abstract that it doesn't really matter what kind of force is at play between the H's. Just say that H's are sticky, and it takes energy to pull them apart.
One strategy for finding good folds, then, is to look for configurations that maximize the number of H-H contacts. A program to carry out the search runs through all the foldings of all the sequences of a given length, keeping only those foldings with the maximum number of contacts.
How many contacts are possible in a folded prototein? A little doodling on graph paper shows that the highest possible ratio of contacts to H's is 7:6. Sequences that attain this limit are exceedingly rare. (I leave it as a puzzle for the reader to find the shortest such sequence, which I believe has 26 beads.) But proteins are not required to solve such mathematical puzzles. To find the stablest configurations of a given sequence, all you need do is find the foldings that have more H-H contacts than any other foldings of the same sequence, whether or not the number of contacts is the theoretical maximum. There is a shortcut for identifying these stable foldings. It begins with the sequence made up entirely of H's, which is rather like double-sided sticky tape that collapses on itself in a crumpled ball. If any sequence at all has a folding with a given number of H-H contacts, then that configuration must also be among the stablest foldings of the all-H sequence. In the all-H folding, however, some of the H's may not form contacts, and so they can be changed to P's without altering the score of the folding. By making all such substitutions, you recover the sequence with the minimum number of H's that can give rise to a given folding.
Sequences with rigid, heavily cross-linked folds are fairly rare. Among chains with 21 beads the maximum number of H-H contacts is 12, and a chain must have at least 14 H's to reach this limit. There are only 80 sequences of 14 H's and 7 P's that produce 12 contacts, out of the universe of more than two million 21-bead sequences.
Figure 1 shows some of the 80 maximally cross-linked 21-bead prototeins, along with a few other foldings chosen at random. The two populations of molecules are very different. The randomly chosen configurations tend to be loose and floppy, and their average number of H-H contacts works out to less than 1. The highest-scoring folds, in contrast, are all very compact, with the chain either wound around itself in a spiral shape or folded into zigzags.
A lifelike feature of the compact foldings is a tendency for the H's to congregate in the interior of the molecule, leaving the P's exposed on the surface. The model has no explicit rule favoring the formation of such a hydrophobic core; it happens automatically when you select foldings with numerous H-H contacts. In this connection, Dill points out that for short prototein chains a two-dimensional lattice model may be more realistic than a three-dimensional one. The reason is that the perimeter-to-area ratio of a short chain in two dimensions approximates the surface-to-volume ratio of a longer chain in three dimensions.
Not all features of the high-scoring prototein foldings inspire confidence in the model's realism. For example, a disproportionate number of the best sequences have H's at both ends, and these molecules tend to fold up with their ends tucked into the hydrophobic core. The reason is easy to see: An H at the end of a chain can participate in three contacts, whereas interior H's can have no more than two. But the sticky-end effect is an artifact of the model; there is no comparable phenomenon in real proteins.
Another peculiarity can be traced to the choice of a square lattice. Two H's on a square lattice can form a contact only if they are separated within the prototein sequence by an even number of intervening beads. As a result, every prototein can be divided into odd and even subsequences that do not interact. No such parity effect is seen in proteins. This failure of realism is unfortunate; on the other hand, the segregation of odd and even sublattices allows some very handy optimizations in a simulation program.

I have been reading ALL the diferents threads for almost a year now and would like to express a HUGE amount of admiration and praise to those of you on here that devote such time,energy and resources to what you do.
I have been reading over ALL the different projects that get done.I am always amazed at how the "experts" here come to the rescue of "newbies" and those in need of answers to help complete their quest or dream to have that "prefect" set of armor or a home made prop.
There are those on this site that are TRULY Blessed with amazing skills of prefection.
I dont own a suit,a "bucket" or anything close to what some here own.I have my small collection of SW figures that bring my the same joy as what a suit,a "bucket" or anything close to that does you/them.I also get large amount of joy reading the threads when folks get excited over a new projects and discoveries of the SW universe.
I have also been sadden to read when members get upset or "bash" others here.Sometimes,yes it is justified but what is upsetting sometimes in the way of airing probelms.A bad side of this amazing techology of communication.To share the same passion of a hobby and share ideas with someone around the world in a nano sec is incredible.
I have never meet any of you here in person and will proably NEVER meet any of you here and I am sure that my 360+ oppinions have been read with mixed reviews.But I am going through a private matter right now and just wanted to tell those who read this here at the Dented Helemt....THANK YOU for being there/here when I needed a healthy distraction.
May your dreams,projects and quests continue to be Blessed

Brothers Koya Urabe and Hirotaka Urabe along with fellow Team Dragon member Ryuji Kajiwara held a public workout today in Japan as they prepare for next weekends Krush Triple Final Round 2011. The event will feature the conclusion of the 63kg, 60kg and 55kg tournaments.
20-year old Koya Urabe defeated South Korean Sung Hyun Lee in the 63kg quarterfinals January 9th and will now face 2009 Krush Rookies Cup winner Takuya Shirahama in the semi's. The youngest of the Urabe brothers, Koya has an impressive 6-1 K-1 record and was the 2008 K-1 KOSHIEN runner-up.
In the other 63kg semi-final, teammate Ryuji Kajiwara will face Kizaemon Saiga. If both Koya Urabe and Kajiwara win their respected matches we'll have an all Team Dragon 63kg final.
The eldest Urabe brother, 21-year old Hirotaka Urabe, will meet Dynamite Yuta in the semi-final at 60kg. Hirotaka was the 2007 All Nippon Shinkarate Light & Middle Weight Tournament Champion and holds a 2-2 record in K-1.
The March 19th Korakuen Hall event along with the tournament fights will also be highlighted by the 70kg Superfight between between K-1 MAX fighter Yuya Yamamoto and MMA veteran Akihiro Gono.

Will Microsoft give away its software for free?
We would like to hear about your comments on this topic. Will Microsoft ever give away its software and operating system for free? Would the Linux project be able to keep its momentum if this would occur? Is it even possible for Microsft to give away its software for free if they are a large corporation that needs to increase its revenue?

Windows 7 will be in Beta for a year. Sounds like a give away to me.ReplyDelete
If Linux gains such a large market share Microsoft will not have a choice but to give away its OS for free.ReplyDelete
I suggested in one of my own posts that Microsoft should give Windows 7 starter away fro free and try to monetize upgrades and add-on software instead of selling a "one size fits all" product. As it is now Windows is too big expensive for sub $300 computers, so that market is wide open to Linux.ReplyDelete
No way..first MS share holders do not agree for this proposal before the table. Instead of price factor we should (as free Linux desktop users), we should promote Linux as a complete operating system with all the features (+ more cool features, security for example) which Windows provides. I guess there should be a campaign which educates future users about different application available in Linux for day-to-day users. Mainly we should target teenagers when they new laptop for high school. Fresh generation will always make anything success. Why you guys say?ReplyDelete


text: Only posting a few questions. For the full interview, click below: http://www.draftcountdown.com/interviews/Janoris-Jenkins/Janoris-Jenkins.php On talent alone there is no denying that North Alabama CB Janoris Jenkins belongs in the first round. However, off-the-field concerns cloud Jenkins draft stock. How well Jenkins interviews with scouts and decision-makers in the coming months will play a major role in determining whether or not he slides on Draft Day. Scott Wright of Draft Countdown caught up with Jenkins at the 2012 Senior Bowl in Mobile, AL and had a chance to not only talk with the talented cover guy but also look him directly in the eye to get a feel for the type of person he is. Is Janoris a good kid who just made some mistakes or are there underlying character issues that will continue to be a problem going forward? Those are questions that each team will have to answer for themselves, but this interview will hopefully provide a little bit of personal insight into one of this year's most controversial prospects. Scott Wright: Obviously people are going to ask you about the off the field stuff. How are you planning to explain those incidents to NFL teams? Janoris Jenkins: Basically just be honest. Admit that what I did was wrong, just let them know how it went and hopefully things will go better. Scott Wright: I know you seriously considered going pro last year as a junior. What type of feedback did you get from the NFL at that time and what were the key factors in your decision to go back to school? Janoris Jenkins: I got some good news if I decided to come out. I was looking at it that I just had surgery and my dad, my mentor and I had a talk and we all decided that I would come back, get my degree and finish my four years at Florida. I decided to go to North Alabama because I didn't want to run from my problems. I had done things that I wanted to face up to as a man and I wanted to go to North Alabama to learn, fight adversity and show everyone that I'm not the kid they say I am. Scott Wright: Can you talk a little bit about the adjustment of going from the SEC to a D2 Program? Was it more difficult than you anticipated? Janoris Jenkins: I mean, it was difficult, but it was an experience. It humbled me a lot seeing how I went from Florida to a Division II football school in one season. It really humbled me as a kid. It taught me a lot. The environment was totally different, from 95,000 in "The Swamp" to 3,500 at UNA. Big difference. Scott Wright: How would you describe your game to someone who has never seen you play? What are your strengths and weaknesses? Janoris Jenkins: I'm quick, fast, explosive, great ball skills. I've got a feel for the ball. I have a tendency of playing off coverage and peaking into the backfield too much so I feel I have to work on that. Scott Wright: What current NFL cornerback do you admire and compare yourself to? Janoris Jenkins: I compare myself to Darrelle Revis. I look up to that guy. He's a great cornerback. He plays with great technique and he's one of the best. Scott Wright: What was your favorite team and player growing up? Janoris Jenkins: My favorite team growing up was the Dallas Cowboys. My favorite player was, not an NFL player, but my big brother. I really look up to my big brother. Scott Wright: If you could go back in time what advice would you give the 18-year-old version of yourself? Janoris Jenkins: Make the right decisions on and off the field and strive for what you want to be. Scott Wright: What were you hoping to prove to scouts at the Senior Bowl? Janoris Jenkins: That I'm a great kid. I'm respectful, humble. That the decisions I made in the past are behind me and that I made stupid mistakes as a kid.

St. Charles-Bend rated Oregon's third-best hospital
U.S. News evaluates hospitals in 16 specialties
BEND, Ore. - St. Charles-Bend is ranked as the third-best hospital in Oregon for 2013-14 by U.S. News & World Report, the hospital reported Friday.
The annual U.S. News Best Hospitals rankings, now in their 24th year, recognize hospitals that excel in treating the most challenging patients.
St. Charles-Bend actually tied for third in the Oregon rankings, behind OHSU and Legacy Good Samaritan, both in Portland, and tied with Providence Portland Medical Center. See the full Top 10 ranking among Oregon's 67 hospitals and a search index for the rest at http://health.usnews.com/best-hospitals/area/or
"We have an incredible team of caregivers who make it possible to deliver the highest quality of care to the communities we serve," said Jay Henry, St. Charles Bend CEO. "I'm proud of the work we are doing here every day to exceed the high expectations of our patients."
St. Charles Bend performed nearly at the level of nationally ranked U.S. News Best Hospitals in seven adult specialties, including:
- Ear, nose and throat
- Gastroenterology and GI surgery
- Gynecology
- Nephrology
- Orthopedics
- Pulmonology
- Urology
The hospital also scored high in patient safety, demonstrating commitment to reducing accidents and medical mistakes.
U.S. News evaluates hospitals in 16 adult specialties. In most specialties, it ranks the nation's top 50 hospitals and recognizes other high-performing hospitals that provide care at nearly the level of their nationally ranked peers.
"A hospital that emerges from our analysis as one of the best has much to be proud of," said Avery Comarow, U.S. News Health Rankings Editor. "Only about 15 percent of hospitals are recognized for their high performance as among their region's best. Just 3 percent of all hospitals earn a national ranking in any specialty."
U.S. News publishes Best Hospitals to help guide patients who need a high level of care because they face particularly difficult surgery, a challenging condition, or added risk because of other health problems or age. Objective measures such as patient survival and safety data, the adequacy of nurse staffing levels and other data largely determined the rankings in most specialties.
The specialty rankings and data were produced for U.S. News by RTI International, a leading research organization based in Research Triangle Park, N.C. Using the same data, U.S. News produced the state and metro rankings.
The rankings have been published at http://health.usnews.com/best-hospitals and will appear in print in the U.S. News Best Hospitals 2014 guidebook, available in bookstores and on newsstands Aug. 27.

Welcome to Talking Heads.
Before and after every first-team fixture, our MatchDay Show guest and an Arsenal blogger will have their say on the game.
Arsenal took on Aston Villa in the Premier League on Saturday and our Talking Heads for this game were Stephen Hughes and Sian Ranscombe aka A Girl Who Loves The Gunners.
It wasn't the best game was it? I think the positives to come out of it were avoiding defeat considering we didn't play very well and lacked our usual fluency. That's a good sign when you're not at your best.
The defensive side of the game was another plus. I thought Kieran Gibbs made a difference, he played well and showed how important he is to the team at both ends of the pitch. He looked fit. Wojciech Szczesny looked solid in goal and pulled off a great save in the second half.
It was no real surprise to see some players rested. The boss knows what he's doing and he would have looked at the games coming up - there are lots of them including the trip to Everton in midweek. We have the Christmas period as well and that is always busy.
We're in good form going into the game but Villa Park is a difficult place to go to. They haven't had a great start and are fighting for their lives. All the expectation will be on Arsenal to win the game, so Aston Villa will have nothing to lose. I think it will be quite a tight game.
They've got a young side and an energetic manager who is well-liked and did ever so well at Norwich. They'll be full of energy and up for the game. Aston Villa have been struggling lately and will be desperate for a win.
You go through ups and downs during a season, that's only natural. The recent wins have given the players a bit more belief and lifted the mood around the whole club. I think a couple of weeks ago, we were having a tough time, a few of the fans weren't happy and the team was struggling. It's amazing how quickly things can turn around.
It's important that the team seem to be sharing the goals out now. It's only a week or 10 days ago that people were saying the team weren't creating enough chances. All of a sudden, we're scoring goals from all over the pitch.
Scoring lots of goals was something that this team always had in them, in my opinion. There's lots of creativity there and it's good for the squad that different names are getting on the scoresheet and you're not relying too heavily on one player. Giroud has shown he can make and score goals and there are a lot of positives at the moment.
I think it will be a really tough game, but with the form Arsenal are in, I think we'll win 3-1.
It was always going to be difficult to enjoy any kind of performance in weather as nasty as it was at Villa Park. It's no excuse but the conditions definitely affected both teams I think. The positives to be taken from it, if you're going to be quite generous, are that we looked largely solid defensively with Kieran Gibbs making a good return from injury, both Per Mertesacker and Olivier Giroud kept up their good form of late, we have three vital players fully rested for midweek against Everton, and it's a point on the road.
Everyone will have been expecting more though. I wasn't particularly impressed by Villa but they had their objectives and they achieved them. But for a few seconds in which Laurent Koscielny and Aaron Ramsey could have maybe kept their cool a little more, we could have come away with the full set of points. Szczesny was tested a few times but I didn't feel particularly worried about conceding at many points during the game. The result was hugely disappointing, but it was a poor match in general as much as anything else. Let's hope it can be rectified on Wednesday - Arsenal have four days to regroup.
After last weekend's derby win, I was a little concerned we might return to the form of a couple of weeks ago against Montpellier but the performance on Wednesday night was certainly an encouraging sign that this team might have turned a corner. 'Professional' was the word most chose to describe the win that secured our qualification to the knockout stages, and that's exactly what we needed. This weekend we need to keep that up. It's a late kick-off, which always makes me a bit uneasy, but if we can survive Tottenham turning us around at kick-off, we can survive waiting that little bit longer to play tomorrow!
Olivier Giroud has really found his feet in recent weeks and hopefully the fact he didn't quite play 90 minutes in spite of a man-of-the-match performance in midweek will mean he's fresh for this one. Villa may be in the bottom three at the moment but Norwich hadn't won until we played them away on a late kick-off so complacency could prove disastrous. It will be good to see Gibbs back, though Thomas Vermaelen has done well at left back over the past couple of matches. It will be interesting to see who starts, but the fact we have options is a great change from the injury worries we can often face on a Friday afternoon.

Big disappointment

I ordered these as a quick addon to my order thinking they were the fluffy half of the popcorn. As it turns out these are the pieces I usually throw away after the rest of the popcorn finishes popping. I tried a few and the flavor was great, but I value my teeth too much to even try to crunch up a mouthful of these. Read the reviews carefully before you order so you know what you are getting.

Using the crunchy heart of popcorn (only the little, round center of fluffy popcorn), along with pure ocean salt and natural butter, these tasty little morsels have become a family favorite. True, we do have to turn up the volume to hear our movies when we eat them, but it is a minor price to pay -- they are that crunchy! Delicious!
So good!

text: I agree about Gusmeroli and Hubert. Hubert was being heavily touted by her federation and in the press after her win over Lipinski at Lalique and her first French national championship, and Gusmeroli had won a World bronze the previous year. I think they both would have been scored very highly in the short program if they had skated cleanly. Lu Chen on the other hand was coming off of a very rough patch.

Since I am planning on doing that I think I am going to upgrade my subs as well. What kind of amp and subs should I get? I am probably going to end up selling the subs and amp. I am probably gonna end up having around $400.

Editor's note: We told you recovery would be tough and long. In December more than 500 Public Works readers responded to our annual forecast survey. You told us: Operations and capital budgets are not yet growing, you're doing more with fewer people and losing institutional knowledge as baby boomers retire, and, as of press time, another federal shutdown is looming.
Also, your ability to spend still very much depends on:
- The impact of the slowly improving real estate market on property tax revenues;
- The mixed bag of increasing consumer confidence and high levels of unemployment; and
- Deep, across-the-board cuts in federal funding via the federal sequester.
There is good news, however.
The National League of Cities' most recent survey of 350 finance officers reveals that 72% of municipalities were better able to meet financial needs in 2013 than in 2012.
In a shift from previous years, more respondents reported increases in the local tax base (51%) and the overall health of the local economy (66%). They also project slightly higher general funds; the first increase reported in the annual survey since 2006.
More encouraging news: Counties report higher property values (72%) and more property transactions (64%, a good indicator of real estate activity); and foreclosure rates are leveling off (23%), according to a Thomson Reuters and National Association of Counties survey. Tax departments, assessor's offices, and recording offices from 712 counties participated in the survey.
Let's hope your budgets soon follow the same trends.
As of Jan. 1, 2014, the Safe Drinking Water Act requires wetted surfaces of pipes, pipe fittings, plumbing fittings, and fixtures to contain less than 0.25% lead. For the most part, new components and repair parts must meet the new "lead-free" definition. Will your drinking water system (or department) comply? Why or why not?
Lack of funding is the primary reason respondents gave for not complying. Remember: This rule applies only when fixtures have to be replaced; until then, they're grandfathered in. One brave soul says, "We've decided to refuse because it's too costly and unnecessary."
By June 13, 2014, the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices requires all traffic signs (as opposed to street signs) to have been assessed and a methodology developed to ensure they meet minimum retroreflectivity requirements. Will your department make the deadline? Why or why not?
In addition to lack of both financial and personnel resources, respondents who won't make the deadline cite inventory software trouble and lackluster support from elected officials as reasons. "We'll work on it as time and money allow," says one.
On Sept. 30, 2014, the most recent federal highway bill expires. Let's assume MAP-21 is extended in some way (direct reauthorization, short-term extension, etc.). In general, how have the changes in this funding program affected your department?
Respondents who checked "Other" are taking a wait-and-see approach. Many aren't happy with the legislation's impact on programs, especially Safe Routes to School (SRTS).
Unlike previous federal highway bills, Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21) doesn't provide funding specifically for SRTS. Instead, the program was rolled into a single, larger program—the Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP)—along with several others including the Transportation Enhancements and Recreational Trails programs.
The Federal Highway Administration did this as part of the Obama administration's goal to streamline dispersing federal support so projects are delivered more quickly. While a laudable goal, the result is that SRTS applicants now compete for funding. They also must be prepared to contribute 20% in matching funds.
These potential drawbacks are potentially offset by the fact that state DOTs must spend their TAP allocation.
Which leads back to a perennial bone of contention, as this respondent's comment shows: "We're a local municipality. We have a highway through town and a plan that for the last 40 years has been waiting for funding. The state hasn't reviewed new major projects in more than 10 years because of a lack of funding and we're unable to qualify for federal funding until the state enumerates the project."

Suspect arrested in Colo. Springs shootout
Man shot twice, gunfire exchanged between vehicles
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Colorado Springs police have arrested one person after a night of violence on the city's southeast side.
As many as 30 reports of shots fired poured into the Colorado Springs 911 dispatch center around 8:45 p.m. Thursday.
When it was over, an unidentified man had been shot twice and was taken to Memorial Hospital for treatment. Police seized one of two vehicles believed to be involved, and a gun.
Sgt. Darrin Abbink said people in two vehicles, one blue and one white, began arguing with each other while they were traveling.
Abbink said the vehicles stopped at the intersection of Doherty and Lancaster Drives and that's where shots were fired.
On Friday, police announced that they arrested 19-year-old Denzel Sanchez on charges of attempted first degree murder.
Investigators say that Sanchez was the driver of a car and was chasing his ex-girlfriend who was with another man in a separate vehicle. Police believe that a passenger in Sanchez' car shot at Sanchez' ex. The passenger in Sanchez' car was then shot and injured, according to investigators.
Abbink said three people in the victim's car were taking him to a hospital when they waved down an ambulance near the intersection of Fountain Boulevard and Circle Drive. That ambulance took the victim to Memorial. His condition wasn't available late Thursday, but police said he has non-life-threatening injuries.
Colby Boling saw the shooting happen. He said he was moving into a new home near the intersection at the time.
"I saw a blue vehicle pull in," he said. "The other car came and blocked him in, and I heard them yelling at each other. I looked out, and then I heard gunshots. That's when I heard the gunshots. I saw the muzzle flashes, the firing out the windows. I got my wife inside."
Boling said both vehicles drove away after the gunfire.
"I've never been so close to something like this," he said. "I'm from a small town. But I'll be all right."
Abbink said police know where the blue vehicle is. He said they will talk with people associated with it, to determine what started the argument and who shot the victim.

Breaking: Rick Sanchez fired from CNN
posted at 6:44 pm on October 1, 2010 by Allahpundit
The formal announcement is shockingly brief — which, actually, speaks volumes.
Monday's "Daily Show" should be a very special episode indeed, my friends.
CNN released this statement today:
"Rick Sanchez is no longer with the company. We thank Rick for his years of service and we wish him well."
I assume everyone already knows why, but if you missed Ed's post this morning, read it now. I figured they'd keep Sanchez off the air today and then roll him back out on Monday, formal apology in hand. Instead, nothing but a "kthxbai" press release and a pink slip. Wowza. He'll be remembered as a uniter, bringing left and right together in shared amazement at his lunkheadedness. At least, though, we finally have an answer to the question of what it takes to disqualify you from working at CNN. It's an awfully high bar, but darned if he didn't clear it.
As for his next career move, his new book — entitled, believe it or not, "Conventional Idiocy" — is currently ranked #39,028 in Amazon sales, so I'm guessing that a sequel isn't in the works. Fox News is a bad fit for him for obvious reasons, and as for MSNBC — well, let's just say that I doubt Olby will be willing to let the following clip slide. Maybe he could catch on at … "The Daily Show"?

Diana Plater follows the Classic New Zealand Wine Trail from Hawke's Bay to Marlborough.
We're wearing gumboots and standing in the barrel room at Nautilus Estate in Marlborough.
Brett Bermingham - assistant winemaker for the Nautilus label and winemaker for the Opawa label - is using a steel "wine thief" to extract wine straight from the barrel for us to taste.
And as we sip the still cloudy wine he gives us some background on this region which has become synonymous with sauvignon blanc. As Bermingham says, no other variety has had such an impact on the market.
We're surprised to hear that this popular variety has been made for 26 years in this region. And in fact wine has been made here for 100 years.
As he puts it: "Our style is very dry. It's not heavy or over the top."
He says the aims of these free wine tours that cut out some of the "hocus pocus" around winemaking is that people can have "more of an association with the wine.
You can visualise it".
Marlborough was responsible for 76 per cent of New Zealand's total wine vintage last year and 91.9 per cent of the country's sauvignon blanc, as well as chardonnay, pinot noir, riesling and pinot gris.
It has 142 wineries, 544 grape growers and 40 cellar doors but no traffic lights, which gives you an idea of how relaxing it is to drive around here.
If you're travelling from north to south, this region is the last stop on the Classic New Zealand Wine Trail, a 380km route easily recognisable by the grape vine logo you see as you drive down the heart of the country - and then take the ferry across to the South Island. It encompasses Hawke's Bay, Wairarapa, Wellington and Marlborough.
You can combine visiting wineries and fabulous restaurants such as the one where we had a bistro style lunch - Wairau River - after the tasting at Nautilus, with farmers' markets and artisan food producers.
You can also do a classic art deco tour of Napier in a 1955 Packard, boat on the Marlborough Sounds and visit the bars and museums of Wellington.
And it's not all eating and drinking - but mostly. One morning we got up early and even in the freezing cold rode bicycles through the farms and vineyards of Hawke's Bay - which has around 190km of cycle tracks - on a bike tour run by Takaro Trails.
We'd stayed at Black Barn Retreats the night before in a huge and luxurious house overlooking the river, one of 12 properties available for nightly rental. Black Barn Vineyards, which is very popular for weddings, also has a wonderful restaurant which is open for lunch and an outside amphitheatre for concerts for an audience of up to 1800 people.
It's almost sunset and Hamish Prins from Prinsy's Wine Tours drives us through the Gimblett Gravels area as the sky is turning pink over the vines. We visit Sileni and Trinity Hills for tastings and wind our way up Te Mata Peak to see magnificent views of Hawke's Bay and the Pacific Ocean. Later we tour Craggy Range Winery and eat dinner in front of the fire at its Terroir restaurant.
Prins explains that Mission Estate Winery was established in 1851 by a group of French missionaries, making Hawke's Bay the oldest wine region in NZ.
The next day we drive to the Pukaha Mount Bruce National Wildlife Centre in the Wairarapa, which is conserving rare and endangered wildlife, particularly birds. You can watch wild kaka being fed each afternoon and see Manukura, New Zealand's only white kiwi to be hatched in captivity, snuggling up in the kiwi nursery.
A little bit further down the track is the astounding Wharekauhau Lodge and Country Estate, perched on top of the rugged coast overlooking the Pacific Ocean where in the 1840s the pioneers walked a herd of sheep from Wellington. The lodge is a grand country house with gorgeous cottages that look out on this view.
Guests can tour the sheep station, including seeing shearing and sheep dogs at work, walk through ancient forests or along the coast and beaches, go fishing or just enjoy the indoor pool and the incredible meals. The property now also runs the relatively new cattle breed of Speckle Park. Many guests arrive by helicopter, which takes only 15 minutes from Wellington.
With its own vineyard, the lodge recently established the Wharekauhau Wine and Food Society and members can enjoy exclusive offers.
With a night in Wellington, we just had time to pop in to see the amazing collection of Maori cloaks at Te Papa (the Museum of New Zealand) and other exciting exhibits, before enjoying more food and wine at one of the city's many fabulous restaurants, The Ambeli.
The next morning the Interislander ferry takes us to Picton, at the top of the South Island close to the Marlborough wine region.
Bashing over the waves in a water taxi that afternoon, we head to the Bay of Many Coves Resort, on Queen Charlotte Sound, a network of sea-drowned valleys. Sometimes people doing the Queen Charlotte Track drop into the resort for a meal, such as the eight-course degustation dinner we enjoy that night.
On the last morning we spot dolphins playing in the cold waters and our trip is complete.
Getting there: With its central location to both the North and South Islands, Wellington is the perfect gateway to the Classic NZ Wine Trail.
For more information about the various regions the trail goes through, see: hawkesbaynz.com; wairarapanz.com; and lovemarlborough.co.nz.

text: To achieve the complex interaction of pattern and visual narrative evident in Absent memories, Scott Chaseling has adapted the ancient Venetian murrini technique, by which a mosaic is formed from sections of glass canes and fused as a flat sheet before being rolled, blown and ground. In this contemporary articulation of murrini's ancient language of ornamentation, Chaseling achieves his characteristic interaction between comic-book-like narrative imagery and the dense, jewel-like design that is possible with the use of advanced materials. In this work his positioning of images on the inside and outside of the vessel allows different episodes to be read simultaneously, challenging us to comprehend two versions of the one story.

Hi Guys,
Let me introduce myself first as this will be my first entry on this forum. I am a hobby beekeeper in Australia, as you might guess, we don't have varroa here (touch wood) and I am running my 3 hives totally without treatment of any kind.
I am though participating as a moderator on our Turkish forum on the sustainable beekeeping practices. i have started a disucssion on treatment free beekeeping specifically on a document I have translated from Mr. Bush's web site on treatment free beekeeping and later on added Mr. Parker's list of treatments from his web site.
I am planning to run a project to produce Varroa resistant ecotype bees and probably write everything we plan to do on a wiki as a guideline to Treatment Free Beekeeping with varroa resistant bees (queens per se).
I am gathering researches and papers on the subject here and particularly the paper written by Swedish Beekeepers Assoc is very helpful to put down some of these guidelines.
I am wondering if we can do the same here and put down the guidelines of how to start treatment free beekeeping and its progress through out the years. hopefully this will turn into a sticky where people refer to year after year.

Real Women Have CurvesThursday, June 24th, 2010
Raven-Symone's waist is 34 inches and her bust size is 36D; and she'd damn proud of her big booty. This plus-size babe is also famous for being the target of quite a bit criticism from bloggers and the mainstream media for her larger body. She has spoken out about the criticisms she's received about her big ass, calling her critics "haters" and her body "thick and fabulous."
In an interview, Raven said: "People come up to me and have certain words for me, but you know what I do? I say, 'I'm healthy, I exercise, I believe in myself, and I think I'm beautiful.' You just have to learn how to transform the pressures into something that doesn't soak into you on a personal level. You see it, you breathe past it, you don't let it sink into your self-esteem." Sometimes it's just great to see confident women who have some meat on their bones; and Raven is a whole lotta woman!

Serves 10
Prep Time 20 min
Total Time 195 min.
Step 1
Preheat oven to 300°F.
Step 2
Season beef with salt and pepper. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a Dutch oven or soup pot over medium-high heat. Add beef and cook, turning from time to time, until well browned on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Step 3
Add the remaining 2 teaspoons oil to the pot. Add onions, reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring often, until softened and golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic and thyme; cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in coffee and vinegar; bring to a simmer. Return the beef to the pot and spoon some onions over it. Cover and transfer to the oven.
Step 4
Braise the beef in the oven until fork-tender but not falling apart, 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Transfer beef to a cutting board, tent with foil and let rest for about 10 minutes.
Step 5
Meanwhile, skim fat from the braising liquid; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the cornstarch mixture and cook, whisking, until the gravy thickens slightly, about 1 minute. Season with pepper. Carve the beef and serve with gravy.
Slow-Cooker Variation:
In Step 2, transfer the browned beef to a slow cooker. In Step 3, use just 1/2 cup coffee. Add the onion mixture to the slow cooker. In Step 4, cover and cook until beef is tender, 4 1/2 to 5 hours on High or 7 to 8 hours on Low. In Step 5, pour the liquid into a medium saucepan and continue as directed.

Arsène Wenger believes Manchester City's form could slip if they fall too far behind in the title race - and he speaks from experience.
Last season Arsenal challenged for the Premier League crown until the Spring but, once first place was beyond them, they fell away and eventually finished in fourth place.
City were the beneficiaries of Arsenal's decline but Roberto Mancini's side are currently going through a sticky patch of their own having dropped five points from their last three fixtures.
Wenger believes City still have a big shout in the title race but he knows what can happen if that chance goes.
"It is not easy, it is demanding," said Wenger. "You always go through a period where you are a bit hand-braked, then when you feel you can do it and suddenly it goes [well] again.
"Man City have gone through a little bit that moment for the first time this season. What will be vital in the title race is the game they play at home against Man United.
"[They could slip] if they technically lose the championship but that's not decided yet. They play Man United at home, the goal difference is very similar and Man United don't look untouchable at the moment.
"You cannot say Man City are on the way down. It is a little bit uncertain. If they lose the championship it can happen but it's still 50-50 at the moment."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

I've had these about 8 months and these jeans are high quality and fit extremely well. I had to get them hemmed but it was easy and the jeans hem looks the same. I love these jeans especially with a pair of clarks wallabees and a button down shirt tucked in. Very comfortable, probably the most comfortable jeans I own. I just bought them in New York Dark as well.
