The Coach House
|Sorry, this cottage is no longer available
click here to see more special holiday accommodation
- Superb holiday house on country estate in the Black Mountains
- Wonderful family facilities: tennis court, trampoline, stabling, tree house and extensive gardens
- Fresh vegetables available to pick from walled garden
- Close to Crickhowell and the Brecons
- Sleeps up to 6 (plus an infant)
- Tuned baby grand piano
The Coach House is stunningly situated in the glorious grounds of Moor Park, an eighteenth-century listed country house in the heart of the Brecon Beacons National Park. The beautifully designed gardens make the perfect setting for an exceptionally comfortable and very well-equipped holiday house for up to 6 people and an infant. Visitors can enjoy the parkland, including the water gardens, meadows and woods, tree house, trampoline and tennis court. Fresh organic fruit and vegetables can be gathered from the immaculate walled garden, and stabling is available for keen riders.
This three-bedroomed self-catering holiday cottage in the Brecon Beacons was once, as its name suggests, the shelter for the Moor Park carriages. Now a family holiday house, with every possible comfort - from a top-of-the-range coffee machine to an IPOD docking-station and a tuned baby grand piano, The Coach House has fabulous views over the gardens, as well as the Black Mountains behind. Use of a new tennis court is included in the price, and visitors are invited to wander freely around the grounds, fields and woodland. There is an amazing walled vegetable and fruit garden, where visitors can pick their own organic produce, and where the resident peacock often struts his stuff along the top of the stone wall. A black swan (the emblem of Moor Park), accompanied by ducks and moorhens, occupies the peaceful water gardens at the opposite end. This is great riding country, and stabling/grazing is available for visitors' own ponies or horses. Wonderful rides from Moor Park and up onto the hills provide an immense sense of freedom and space.
Downstairs, there is a sitting-room with a beautiful parquet floor, comfortable furniture, properly tuned baby grand piano and a flat screen TV; a dining-room with French doors to the garden; a spacious, well-equipped kitchen with kitchen table; and a shower-room with loo and wash hand basin.
Upstairs, there is a master double bedroom, a smaller double bedroom, a twin bedroom and two ensuite bathrooms.
Things to do around The Coach House
Moor Park is just a 5 minute drive from the lovely town of Crickhowell with its excellent food shops, cafes and pubs. You can get all your provisions here at the independently owned shops, such as Cashel's the butcher, where you can buy cuts of fantastic Welsh Black beef or local lamb. Just outside the town's perimeter, visit the Black Mountain Smokery at the Elvicta estate for their delicious hot-smoked salmon and other imaginative smoked offerings to feast on. The Brecon Beacons National Park is on your doorstep with all the extensive activities on offer (pot-holing, riding, wild swimming, fishing, walking, off-road biking, climbing, canoing, paragliding - to name just a few).

Hi, newbie question, how do I search within entire threads (not just titles) for an exact phrase. For example, if I wanted to isolate and highlight only those questions and responses with the exact phrase "carniolan queen", how do I do it?
I tried using the advanced search but didn't see it.

Portage Biotech has acquired approximately 54% equity in Biohaven Pharmaceutical Holding Company Limited for $3.5 million, payable as $1.75 million upfront and the balance in three installments over the next eleven months.
Biohaven is engaged in the identification and development of clinical stage neuroscience compounds targeting the glutamatergic system.
Biohaven has a worldwide license from Yale University to use intellectual property relating to the use of certain glutamate modulating agents in the treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders. The company's first drug candidate is a glutamate modulating agent being developed for treatment-resistant mood and anxiety disorders.
Biohaven has assembled a team of experts who have extensive experience in the development of therapeutic agents for affective disorders and also comprise the originators at Yale University who discovered the therapeutic potential of glutamate modulation in anxiety and depression. Team members have designed and executed successful development programs testing a variety of agents in affective disorders, leading to first-cycle FDA approvals and successful commercialization of these new drugs in the CNS (central nervous system) area.
"Acquiring majority ownership in Biohaven is an important step for Portage as this represents the second leg of our business model which is to add compelling new products with strong management teams as subsidiaries," commented Dr. Greg Bailey Chairman of Portage.
"Similar to Portage Pharmaceuticals ("PPL"), we plan on identifying additional products for the Biohaven team as we have been working on for Dr. Bruce Littman and Dr. Frank Marcoux who manage PPL. Now we have a remarkable team with track records of success in translational medicine and clinical drug development." The key members of the Biohaven team include Dr. Declan Doogan who is Executive Chairman of Biohaven and also a CEO of Portage, Dr. Robert Berman who is Chief Medical Officer of Biohaven, and the faculty originators of the licensed Yale intellectual property, Dr. Vlad Coric, Dr. John Krystal and Dr. Gerard Sanacora.
"Biohaven combines experienced pharmaceutical drug developers and skilled academic neuroscientists. Preclinical data and clinical studies performed at Yale, as well as at other academic centers, suggest that the glutamatergic system is a truly viable target for neuropsychiatric drug development," says Dr. Declan Doogan. Dr. Bailey of Portage added, "Biohaven represents a timely opportunity to translate the knowledge and experience gained at Yale about the role of glutamate in neuropsychiatric disorders into advances in the clinic. A novel molecular target with clinical data suggestive of efficacy and the right team to deliver."

Naruto Character Creation Contest (July 2010)
Naruto Character Creation Contest: This month is July and the theme " Stealth Ninja/ Assassin Ninja"
Naruto Character Creation Contest July 2010 Our theme is (Stealth Ninja/ Assassin Ninja)
Welcome to the Naruto Character of the Month Contest!!!!!!
Its July and our theme is Stealth Ninja/ Assassin Ninja
This month's contest is based around Rogue or Rogue like characters. I wanted to come up with an idea quickly and I thought, why not bring out so of the stone cold killers of Naruto's universe. Well with that, I present the rules and regulations, and after reading, give it a good shot.
The winner of this contest will decide the theme for next months contest.
This thread is for submissions into the Character of the Month contest.
Contest Rules are as follows:
1. Every contest will have a theme. Each contestant must abide by the theme. Themes cannot be picked twice in a row.
2. Every Character Must be put in spoiler tags. This is to save space.
3. Contest submissions begin on the first day of each month. The entry period will last until two weeks from that date.
4. On the day after the submission date, a poll will open and it will last for one week. When the poll closes, the winner will be allowed to choose a theme for the next contest.
5. The next contest will not begin until the first of the month, when submissions are allowed once again.
6. Only one official submission per contestant. You may create as many character as you want, but you can only enter one official character. So please put final or official entry in your post when your ready to turn in your finished character.
7. You are allowed to wait until the final day to turn in your entry. If you wish to keep your entry private until the day the poll opens you can request it in the submission thread or by private message to the organizer (me, Kyubi Jinchuuriki).
This months entry period officially starts July 1, 2010 and lasts until July 22, 2010. Entries will be gathered and put up for voting on July 23, 2010. Voting will end on the following Friday.***
Entries can either be private messaged or posted in the submission thread. The submission thread can also be used to post works in progress to gather feedback from other posters. You do not have to post your entries in the thread if you don't wish to (for those who want to be private about what they are working on), until the last day of submissions. The whole idea is to promote quality entries but it's not required to submit early if you are confident in your entry but want to keep your submission secret until the due date.I will periodically update the thread to keep track of the names of all contestants and list those names here. Those who wish to keep entries private until the due date should still inform me they are entering so I can keep track of who is competing.
If anyone has any questions, feel free to post them here or private message me, I'll do my best to answer.
***A few notes about due dates and other "stuff"***
The due date ends at 11:59 (midnight basically) EST. The polling will be up one day later after 11:59 (again, midnight). I will try to be as lenient as I can with last minute submissions but only slightly.
It is up to you as a contestant to know what your time zone is in relation to EST. I cannot do this for you. Here is a site that can help you figure that out: " http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=179 "
* this format is the original work of Solace/Zaku Hyuga. I have merely edited it to fit this contest.

Well, I finally got myself to do her background, although I admit that it's not that great.
She's only my second Genjutsu user, so I hope that I didn't mess something up. I was just sitting there, thinking about assassins, and I was wondering what a silent assassin would use. Et voila. Genjutsu.
So, here she is, and I hope ya like her.

I think I've got it in me to make another character...
Kougino, Sou
Lot of stuff in there. In retrospect he seems more gruesome than any assassin, but when it comes to me making evil characters, I seem to have a penchant for brutality...

But, whatever the reason, I'm glad you joined this contest. Well, Kyubi Jinchuuriki, it looks like this contest is going well. If my counts right, it looks like we have seven entries (I'm horrible at counting, so this could be off J/K), so that means this was more successful than Zaku's original. And, we haven't even gotten to the voting, yet. . .

Yeah. I just recently borrowed a laptop from a friend 'cause I'm too cheap to buy a new one. I'm not sure if you remember, but I used to have to operate with a '98 HP running windows '98. Pathetic, I know. One of these days I'm just gonna break down and get a good one. But, back on topic. . .
Yes, these characters are all really good. But, we all know who's going to win. . . Seriously, though. I get the feeling I included too much info. No one's gonna want to read it.

well, its great to see tht we got sum responces to this. Since im gunna be up until like 5 30 am (eastern time, being lenient ) i'm allowing character entrees until then. I wanna state this incase anyone feels im takin advantage of being the creator of this months contest, since im too lazy, i haven't finished my character's jutsu list, so im gunna add myself to the voting poll, if anyone feels like this is unfair then i might not count mine or wutever, i just felt it was sumthin to bring up and since i went until 530 for entrees. if this continues and i (somehow, based on sum of the characters here) win and start another contest, i will (try to my best ability) not do this. Thanks to the 6 of you (not including me) who entered characters in this attempt to bring bac these skill increasing contests. Surprisingly writing this novel at 1:30, i bid u readers ado and hope u don't mind me bending the rules.

What have I been up to? Let me show you
It's been a while but I've been pretty busy with the new project. Remember the old car that I painted in my garage.
It didn't turn out to bad, 1986 Mustang SVO,where I got my handle SVOHIO
Well some guy wanted it way more than I did so I sold it to him, my daughter was pissed, she figured that was going to be her car. Then I found this car, a 1994 Caprice. I want to make it resemble an Impala SS, not a clone, there won't be any Impala emblems on it.
Once I got around to scrounging parts and had time to get after it the weather was too cold to start any bodywork and I only use temp heat in my garage, so I started a project in the basement. Fabbing up Bonneville SSE seats to fit the caprice. I saw the mod on a forum, the front seats bolt directly to the caprice power rails and they showed some ways to mount the back seat that I didn't like so I came up with something on my own. I used the frame from the old back seat and cut it down to fit the back of the bonny seat and fastened it down.
Fits like a glove.
Another shot looking towards the front with the front bucket in.
After that I started a new project, smooth bumpers. The only place to get smooth bumpers are on the west coast and they want a ton of money. So I decided I would try and make them, if I screwed up so what lokk what I had to start with, pretty nasty.
I started by cutting out the middle section with a cut off wheel but leaving strips of material in tact to maintain the bumpers structure.
Then after cleaning and scuffing the back of the bumper I laid down a strip of mesh.
After that dried I cut strips of matting and started laying that in the void and building it up a little at a time until it was the same thickness as the rest of the bumper.
This was a test fit before laying mesh over the entire bumper.
I don't have any pictures of the mesh over the entire bumper or filling in the low spots with fiberfill, but heres how it looks with a new grille and some primer on it.
Next it on to the real body work with more pictures.
Nice work!
awsome job! I love those 94-96 Impala/Caprice. Good project car. Please keep posting pics.
Outstanding! I presume you won't stop until it looks a good as the Mustang, right?
In a while, Chet.
O.K back at it. Rust repair was the next order of business, I hit some bone yards to look for the lower rear quarters behind the back wheels, mine were pretty sad. I had to find two different cars to get rust free lower quarters, I was surprised how easy they could be cut off with a battery sawzall and a good metal blade. Once I got them home I cut out the ones on my car and slowly cut them to fit. Then I bought a flange/punch tool from Harbor Freight, it worked great, it made the job go a lot smoother.Then I picked up a mig welder off of Craigslist that was brand new with an argon gas bottle for $150. Now it was time for my first ever attempt at welding. Luckily I decided to practice on some scrap pieces first. Once I got the temp dialed in gave it a shot. Not too bad.
After both sides were complete I decided I didn't like how the rear fender molding looked, I've seen cars with the molding removed and smoothed out, it's a much cleaner look. And besides now that I'm a bigtime Mig welder
I figured why not. So I cut pieces of paper first then transferred it over to scrap pieces of metal I had left over from the rear quarter replacement.
Then after I had things pretty close I used the hole puncher and started to tack each piece on.
Heres how it looked after 8 million tack welds and some grinding, and yes I was careful with spreading the heat, after I heard that first pop.
Heres a picture after the first coat of mud.
Then after a bit more work it took shape.
And finally after a shot of primer.
Now it was time for new doors, why because these were perfect, no dents or rust to screw around with, plus these doors came off of a 95 and the 95/96 mirrors look much better.
Then I picked up the 94 SS rear quarter glass and inserts kit to loose the 94 Caprice look.
Now it was time to get really serious and make the car look straight, so I took her completely apart and filled in any low spots I found and sprayed it with high build primer and block sanded every single stinking body panel on the entire car, now I know why they call it body WORK.
Then finally some payoff, my painter came over and sprayed the jambs and inner doors in my garage.
Then it was time to put her all back together and line up panels and check gaps, this was enough to drive me crazy,but it's worth it when somebody looks down the body line for the first time. Heres a pic before the last coat of primer and final block sanding.
And finally it's off to the paint shop.
More to come later on.

For those interested I just got my car back from the paint shop today. Still lots to be done but it's good to have home.
Looks Great
Dang dude that beast looks mean I'm usually not fond of silver cars but it looks good on that. Props on that interior, it looks like it will be 1000 times more comfortable than the stock cloth. Does it have the digital gauge cluster? Also did I spot holes in the bumper from a pushbar install? Is this a caprice 9C1 cop car? Nevermind, Sarah just pointed out to me that is has a sunroof that rules the cop car out. It is a damn nice car though!
Are those the factory wheels with different center caps? Hopefully I'll see it cruising around town in the near future! Jeg's on main st perhaps?
ps. I wish I could have seen your SVO on the autocross course, I've taken our cougar ('97 XR7 4.6L) out a couple of times.
Very nice! The bumpers came out just as good (maybe better) than the aftermarket ones that are available for the Caprice / Impala. I've thought about the Bonneville seats for my '94 SS, but I haven't found a good set in grey yet. It looks good in silver and I like the re-located trunk lock too... really cleans up the rear end. Nice work

Hey dude there you are, good to here from you. Your right it was a cop car but it was the chiefs car so it wasn't in regular service. I bought it from a guy that put the SS wheels and sunroof on for $1000 becuase it didn't run, it was out of gas. I probably see you up at Jegs or over on Brice rd.

What else do you do at a Christmas market besides eat a ton of good food and peruse the vendors? That's precisely what we did. I first ate a Bratwurst because it's a typical German treat. As I said before about eating Haggis, I'm a really picky eater. I loved the bratwurst, though! At another vendor I got some mozzarella sticks, because I was still a little hungry.
At that point I was planning on not eating anymore, but I happened upon a vendor making Nutella cr�pes
After that, we walked to a part of the city along the Rhine River and got to see great views of the Rheinturn and the Theodor Heuss Bridge. D�sseldorf is quite modern because much of the city was bombed during the two world wars. In fact, many of the Old Town's historic buildings are actually reconstructions following old plans of buildings that were bombed.
We got some mulled wine at another vendor, which I didn't really care for. It was too strong for me. It was nice to have a hot drink to warm up, though. Because I failed to drink a German beer in Berlin, I knew I had to get one in D�sseldorf, so we got some Pilsners in a small bar before heading back to the bus.
I thought the Christmas market was really neat, but I do wish I would have found some nicer Christmas ornaments to send as Christmas presents. All of the ornaments I saw were really tacky. There's a Christmas market on Leidseplein in Amsterdam, so I'm going to try much luck searching there.

Beninati joins TKO
Veteran matchmaker John Beninati has joined TKO Boxing Promotions, it was announced today, by Chris Middendorf, it's Director of Boxing Operations. Beninati, most recently with Gary Shaw Productions, will assume matchmaking duties for the fast rising Las Vegas based promotional outfit. Said Middendorf about the addition of Beninati to the TKO Boxing team, "There are promoters who sign fighters like Dan Snyder and the Redskins sign football players; they want the great record, maybe the high ranking, so that they can plug them into a fight and get lucky. What we are doing is signing the best talent in the US and the world and as they develop, building our company around them. In order to do that right, you have to have the best matchmaking."
"The fact is that there are only a handful of top quality matchmakers in the country, and we are excited to add one of the best of those in John Beninati to our company. I have known John for almost twenty years and it is terrific to have him at TKO. With five cards in May, four in June, and five in July, John is joining us at a very exciting time. And if he does a very good job, we might give him a day or two off in August!"
Said Beninati, "I'm very happy to be joining TKO Boxing Promotions. The fights that I've done for Gary, that's the level of excitement that I plan to bring to TKO Boxing Promotions."
"TKO has a great roster of terrific prospects; particularly Francisco Contreras who I think could be a future star in boxing. He's already looked great in his first win on ShoBox and I'm sure he'll be back on soon" continued Beninati. "There's a real bright future at TKO with all their amateur stars."
While at GSP, Beninati was critical in the ascent of the careers of world champions Timothy Bradley and Vic Darchinyan along with contenders Alfredo Angulo, Yonnhy Perez, Chris Avalos and Carlos Abregu.
Said Beninati, "I'm excited to be working with Chet and Chris and look forward to great success at TKO Boxing Promotions.

Joker feared murdered
Page Tools
Steve Williams' daughter, Blayze, 13.
Photo: David Mariuz
The hardest part about looking for missing Adelaide Gypsy Joker Steve Williams is the number of people who might want him dead.
Mr Williams, whose slick pony tail and piercing eyes became the media-friendly face of Adelaide's bikie community - a risky internal strategy because it contravened a code of silence - vanished almost three weeks ago and has probably been murdered.
He was dropped at a hotel in downmarket Gepps Cross at 2.30pm on June 14, where his abandoned car was found. There was no blood or signs of a fight, indicating he was with someone he knew.
His circle of family and friends, brothel madam Stormy Summers for whom Williams provided in-house security, Stormy's husband Mark Garner, Williams' former partner Kim Asling , their daughter Blayze and girlfriend Alena Skipper fear he must be dead.
"It is out of character absolutely," says Ms Summers, who was given away by Mr Williams at her outdoor white wedding to security worker Mark Garner in November, 2003.
"He was a devoted father and loved his daughter very much. Everything in his whole life revolved around her and he would not put her through this."
Two days after Mr Williams disappeared, Ms Skipper reported him missing. The couple shared an apartment in Ms Summer's red-light complex.
Any thought that Mr Williams might have been out partying had turned serious when he failed to drop off a laptop computer to Blayze at a Thursday meeting arranged earlier in the week.
"His girlfriend Alena was staying with us and he was supposed to come and pick her up, but the time kept passing and he didn't come," said Blayze, who was not told her father had disappeared for another two days.
Blayze described a generous father who would visit often, take her on trips and watch her at horse shows riding Homer, which he helped buy for her.
"My dad loved that horse," says Blayze, who found nothing unusual in having a bikie dad who would take her to the Gypsy Joker fortress to play.
"We'd go to the clubhouse and play, go there for Christmas parties and stuff, it was cool," she said.
But family life aside, Mr Williams was troubled, with enemies inside and out of gang circles.
His profile was raised in January, 2001, in an ugly hotel brawl in the town of Beachport, in south-eastern South Australia, between 15 Gypsy Jokers and 40 police on the Jokers' annual Christmas run.
Three police were injured, including one who had his jaw broken. The next day, a club member broke his back in an accident with a police car.
Bikie Steve Williams has not been seen since June 14.
Photo:David Mariuz
Members of the elite police squad, STAR (Special Tactical And Response) force, were suing Mr Williams over the brawl. But while the case was due to be heard in August, Mr Williams was not worried about it.
After the Beachport incident, Williams, 39, was elected Gypsy Jokers president, with a brief to improve the club's image just when the new law and order Government of Premier Mike Rann set up a specialist bikie taskforce, Operation Avatar, and passed legislation to prevent bikie fortresses being built.
But after three years, Mr Williams' strategy grew unpopular and he was voted out. Mr Williams, who rarely rode because a bike accident destroyed his ankles and left him with a painful limp, resigned from the club although he retained life-long membership.
Personally, Williams was troubled. He grew up burdened by thinking he killed someone in a schoolground accident, finding out only years later the boy had recovered and was fine.
Monash academic Arthur Veno, who befriended Mr Williams in 2000 through a book Dr Veno was writing on Australian bikie clubs called The Brotherhood, said that while Mr Williams had become autocratic within the club, he later carved out territory working from Ms Summer's premises as a smalltime godfather, providing muscle to collect debts.
As if he did not have enough enemies, Mr Williams had begun a recent crusade against pedophilia.
There are plenty of explanations for what might have happened - including a rumour he was murdered by a rival gang and turned into pet food - but no sign of a body.
In bikie circles this is odd because targeted killings send out a message that require a body to be found.
Dr Veno has ruled out suicide. "If Steve was going to kill himself, he would have done suicide by cop," he said.

PAETEC Holding Corp. has seen a flurry of activity of late, breaking ground on a new data center in Iowa, opening a new office in San Francisco and, now, launching super-fast Ethernet over Copper (EoC).
On Tuesday, the New York-based competitive service provider said it has enabled its network to deliver 100mbps EoC at a fraction of the cost of SONET transport. PAETEC hopes to drive sales of its voice, data and cloud computing products.
Just as with any EoC speed, customer locations have to be qualified for the new EoC access, since EoC is limited by distance and copper-pipe quality. But PAETEC is emphasizing the 100mpbs EoC isn't just for retail users; the company said wholesale customers, too, can establish Ethernet network-to-network interfaces with PAETEC to reduce access charges traditionally paid to the ILECs and still reach more than 200,000 business buildings.
"We are leading the way with one of the fastest offerings on the market," said Clint Heiden, president of national accounts and fiber services for PAETEC.
PAETEC installed Overture Networks equipment to enable its new 100mbps EoC.

Sherpas Seek Everest Expedition Halt
KATMANDU, Nepal—Senior Nepali officials said they would fly to the Mount Everest expedition base camp on Thursday to try to defuse a standoff with a group of Sherpa guides who want to halt climbing on the world's tallest peak this spring.
Anger has mounted among some Sherpa guides since an avalanche last week killed 16 guides carrying supplies up the mountain for foreign climbers. International expedition organizers said guides opposed to restarting expeditions were threatening those who were willing to climb.
Some foreign expeditions have decided to pull out and climbers have been leaving the mountain, in a blow to Nepal's burgeoning mountaineering business, a pillar of the economy in this South Asian nation that is one of the world's least-developed countries.
At a meeting at the base camp on Wednesday, Sherpa guides said they didn't want to return to work this season, citing grief over the deaths of their comrades and fears for safety on the mountain after the avalanche, according to Suber Shrestha, a government official at the base camp who works as a liaison officer for the tourism ministry.

Whether you found it heart-warming or cringeworthy, The Kick - New Zealand's telemovie event of the year - provided some genuinely good insight into life on the fringes of the All Black squad.
As well as touching on universal themes of getting up when you get knocked down and redemption, it had some great life lessons that will appeal to everyday Kiwis -- like if you apply yourself and work really hard, the rewards will come. And if that fails, just sit at home, drink beer and play video games and wait for everyone else to fall over.
There are plenty of lessons the New Zealand Rugby Union can take from the dramatic retelling of one All Black's selection battle. Stephen Donald's journey from national pariah to national hero highlighted several areas where the national body are dropping the ball, so to speak.
* A full-scale inquiry needs to be launched into nepotism in junior rugby grades. How many talented kids have been lost to the game because they were overlooked for selection in favour of the coach's son? My guess is Brian from Waiuku is just the tip of the iceberg.
* The NZRU should appoint someone to return sponsored cars so the player doesn't have to suffer the indignity of having to hand back the keys and make awkward small talk with Murray from the local dealership. And perhaps a parachute clause should be introduced. Players can't go from driving a Ford Territory to walking home; they should at least be issued with a HOP card.
* All Blacks should not have cooking facilities in their room. It was alarming to discover the team's 2011 campaign was almost derailed by Piri Weepu's in-room whitebait fry-up.
* In addition, if players are in the habit of hosting wood-fire pizza parties it would be prudent for them all to do food safety courses.
* There needs to be a crackdown on players endorsing equestrian fundraising activities. This does not fit with the NZRU philosophy of no other sports matter but rugby.
* During World Cups there should be a train-on squad just in case any late replacements are needed. This squad should include three back-ups in each position. While the fitness-cram montages formed a great part of the story, it would have been less stressful on Graham Henry if he had well-conditioned athletes on standby.
* Stephen Donald was let down by the lack of jersey size selection. Like the old mantra goes -- if you look good, you feel good, if you feel good, you do good. Who knows, if Donald wasn't having to worry about muffin-top exposure, that kick may have sailed straight through the uprights rather than sneak inside the post, making for a more fitting narrative.
* Only Richie McCaw should be able to play Richie McCaw. We've all seen him on the Mastercard ads -- you can't teach that sort of comic timing.

African Rainbow's Motsepe Says Good Time to Buy Mine AssetsPaul Burkhardt
African Rainbow Minerals Ltd. is considering buying mining assets that will boost long-term profit, according to Patrice Motsepe, the South African company's billionaire chairman.
"We continue to look at opportunities, this is a good time to buy," Motsepe, who is the richest black South African and has expressed interest in platinum assets for the last year, said at a presentation in Johannesburg today. "You cannot be affected by short-term periods of volatility as well as uncertainty."
Shares in South African platinum producers have dropped since violence and illegal strikes broke out at operations in the second half of 2012, shutting production. That's cut the costs of buying the assets.
The miner of minerals including iron ore, nickel, copper, and manganese will next week meet investors in Europe and the U.S., Motsepe said. "We have no intentions of overpaying" for assets, he said.
The company has looked at copper assets in Papua New Guinea in its search for exploration opportunities outside of Africa, Motsepe said.
African Rainbow said earnings excluding one-time items fell 30 percent to 1.41 billion rand ($160 million) in the first half through December as iron-ore prices dropped and costs rose at a rate above inflation.
Coal Business
Motsepe said he was "very excited" about prospects for the company's coal business, which increased sales to Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd., the utility generating more than 90 percent of South Africa's power, by 21 percent to 2.28 million metric tons during the period.
Africa's biggest economy is expanding its electricity-generation base to avoid a repeat of power shortages that halted mines for at least five days in January 2008. Eskom, which uses coal for more than 80 percent of generation, is building what will be the world's third- and fourth-biggest plants that use the fuel to make electricity.
Motsepe, who is also chairman of Harmony Gold Mining Co., pledged some of his wealth to charity last month, joining Warren Buffett's initiative to boost philanthropy.
The stock declined for a second day, losing 2.3 percent to 188.51 rand in Johannesburg.
Zambia Operations
African Rainbow minerals began producing copper in Zambia, Africa's biggest miner of the metal, through a joint venture with Brazil's Vale SA last year. The Lubambe Copper Project started production in October 2012, with a second phase progressing with six exploration drill rigs being deployed.
As the project has been mined, the ground has been found to require more structure and support than anticipated, the company's CEO Mike Schmidt said in an interview. "That slows down your development rate and has a cost impact," though it won't materially affect the project, he said.
Zambia's state-owned ZCCM Investment Holdings is a 20 percent stakeholder in Lubambe. "It's a very enabling environment to operate in," Schmidt said.

Question for Focus owners with Sync?
I just had a question regarding the Sync system in your Focus. My girlfriend and I just purchased new 2013 Ford's. I got an Escape and she got a Focus. Now, it's been three months and she has had nothing but problems with her Sync microphone. We have brought it in to the dealership repeatedly, but no resolution yet. Basically when she is using her phone via bluetooth through Sync there is a ton of road noise and when she speaks her voice is distorted. Ford's fix thus far is putting a huge amount of foam up in the compartment where the microphone is, but this is a bust.
Is anyone else experiencing these issues and if so how did you resolve it?
She is getting really frustrated with the situation not being able to use Sync for what it is intended.
Thanks for your time and consideration.
i haven't had any issues with my Focus... yet?
i've noticed that the dealerships hands are tied for a lot of Ford issues though - maybe try contacting Ford directly and see if they have a resolution or a suggestion? mention to them that the dealership was unable to provide you with an adequate resolution.
Yeah I am starting to see that. I have contacted Ford through Twitter to get some additional help. Hopefully they can get this straightened out soon. Glad to see that you aren't having any issues with your Focus.
best of luck with getting it looked after!
If anything, Ford's customer service has been much better than my previous encounters with Mazda and Honda at the dealership level. At least they TRY to fix it instead of giving you some lame excuses! :)
My sync handfree seems OK, at least no one has complained, although I have made very few calls.
Do you have the console with the "bake your sunglasses" holder, or just the mic?
Have you tried it with different phones?
the sync in my 2012 Focus works flawlessly. people i talk to do hear a little road noise but not bad. my voice sounds clear and not distorted in any way. I have had nothing but good luck with my Focus.
Just an idea: Have your tried switching vehicles and use your phone in her car and her phone in your car? Do you get the same results? I know my wife cannot hear me very well if I am talking thru Sync in my 09 Focus while moving. Her 2010 Fusion has no problem, but we have different phones also. I have not tried the switch myself, I just know that some phones are much better than others and that may be the culprit.
What version of sync? I had the same problem with 3.1.1c, yesterday dealer upgraded to 3.1.4c and the mic is a lot better. you can check your version at http://www.ford.com/syncmyride/ with a usb stick. This is sync only not MyfordTouch.

dominance, leadership and respect
continuing conversation from another thread
SuperG said in another thread
---Quote (Originally by lalachka)---
I just don't believe that every problem a dog has arises from the dog fighting for rank. *I completely agree*
we have to be like good parents, fair, consistent, loving.* *I agree again.*
the dog needs to understand that we control their resources and respect us.* *I mostly disagree...if controlling their resources means feeding them, watering them and exercising them then any individual would have total "respect" of their dog and there would be no problems to any degree. Personally, I believe it is leadership which makes the bigger difference in the relationship and condones the desired behavior we are attempting to create. Yes, having the upper hand in controlling the rewards for proper behavior has merit to it but it is but a stepping stone and small part of the overall process to reach the level where the dog "respects" their particular human. The "leadership" of which I speak is created by the superior intelligence a human supposedly has over the dog amongst other human qualities. Simply, if we shun our responsibility to "control" or provide a dog's resources, the dog would simply die over a period of time or become so unruly, most would give up on the do
*g. Being
* one step ( if not two or three ) ahead of a dog via our intelligence is what cements the leadership which dogs crave for...however if there is no leadership by the human or an ample amount based on the dog's requirement then the dog need not "respect" their human because the dog will provide it's version of leadership to fill the void.* *
---End Quote---
*I am making an assumption of what you mean by "resources"
end quote
you assumed correct, that's what I meant however you bring an interesting point. since all owners control the resources then there's something else to it that makes one dog respect their owner and another not.
I originally thought it's being fair and consistent but there might be more to it.
first of all, what's respect? how do I know whether my dog respects me or not?
and second, if you're right and it's our superior intelligence then I wonder how a dog picks up on it. we only see in others what we possess ourselves (not my thought, I think it's schopenhauer and it's a loose quote)*
meaning (the way I understand it) that let's say someone is really good in math, like PhD good. and I only know that 2 +2=4. I can only gauge that person's abilities to the extent of him knowing that 2+2=4 because that's all I understand. I don't know how much is 3+3 and there's no way for me to know whether 6 is the right answer so I can't gauge his knowledge.*
it's been years since I read it, I'm sure I butchered his thought but do you see what I mean?
so for dogs to gauge our intelligence they have to possess it. they don't so on what level do you think they pick up on it?
I'm not saying you're wrong, I think there's something to this.
excuse the philosophical stuff on a dog forum, I'm really interested in the 'how' and 'why' behind everything.

Help for83 Fleetwwod
Hey good people. New to the forum and Cadillac's. I have a 1983 Fleetwood Brougham with the infamous 4.1 250 with 113,000 miles. Car has been very well maintained by previous owner. The car all of a sudden has started to act mysteriously. It will start and run beautifully until it has run for about 15 min. Then if you floor the car it cuts back like it is shutting off. Let off the pedal and she jumps back to life. It also gets hard to start as if the car has been flooded out. Replaced the fuel filter and she started right up and ran fine only to shut off in traffic. Sat for a couple of hours and started right up. Someone locally told me it may need Injector rebuild kit some one also said maybe fuel pump. Don't wanna mess up a good car or engine so somebody PLEASE help. Stranded in NC!!!
Re: Help for83 Fleetwwod
Also could be vacum leak. Your going to have to get it diagnosed instead of guessing. It's cheaper than just throwing parts at it hoping your going to hit the right fix for the problem. I don't know anything about your year/model or the 4.1 engine in particular, so forgive my silly question, but do you have an on board computer? If so, have you checked the codes?

Re: Help for83 Fleetwwod
I was having a similar problem on my '83. I narrowed it down to fuel pump and injectors and decided, because it was cheaper, to replace the pump. This has so far taken care of the problem (been just shy of a year) and to me it sounds like this would be a good option for you. Of course if you have the cash replacing the pump and also rebuilding the throttle body, and installing new injectors and rubber lines would not be a bad idea. Changing the pump is not all that bad to do. There are two bolts that hold the tank, next you unhook the lines and electrical, then you pound on the retainer ring, after that you remove the pump and then install everything in reverse order. I think it took me something like an hour or so. I just backed up on a set of ramps and went at it. To be quite honest I think that the problem was not really the pump, but the tube that connects the pump to the line out of the tank, but once you have the tank down may as well replace the stuff.
Good luck,

Re: Help for83 Fleetwwod
I would agree with the fuel pump scenario, except for one thing. . .the running fine for 15 minutes part. When my pump went bad, it went bad and the problem was constant. You could have a bad sensor somewhere, you'll have check the codes. I've attached the ECM codes if you need them. By the way, there are several fuel filters. . .on is a "sock" type on the fuel pump, then there's the in line filter which you changed, then there is a filter on each injector.
Good luck and let us know what you find out.

NYC Sees Growth of Construction Employment
New York, NY —
New York City is seeing a small uptick in construction employment as the weather gets warmer and some projects move forward. Elly Spicer has been a member of the carpenters' union for 24 years. She says her industry has stabilized somewhat - and the mood now is quite different from the winter.
SPICER: You saw this massive panic and everyone went screeching to a halt and now it's starting to open up. Things are very tight though.
Spicer says the recession has also hurt the recruitment of women into the construction industry. Of nearly 17,000 active members in the carpenters' union, only 450 - about 3 percent - are women.
From February to March of this year, New York City's construction workforce grew by nearly 3 percent, while the overall yearly decline was 10 percent. Manufacturing employment shrunk by 15 percent. And financial services by 6 percent, according to the state's Labor Department.

Some high schools failing No Child Left Behind requirements
12/01/06 12:00AM By Bob Kinzel
| Download MP3
(Host) According to a new report, a number of high schools in the state have failed to meet certain requirements of the federal No Child Left Behind law.
Education commissioner Richard Cate says the results are misleading, because many of the schools are making solid progress to meet the federal goals.
VPR's Bob Kinzel reports:
(Kinzel) The assessment results involve high schools that have students in grades 9 through 12. There are only 25 schools in this category because many schools are in union districts that serve students in grades 7 through 12.
Of this group of 25 schools, 14 met the progress standards of No Child Left Behind while 11 didn't. In most cases the reading and language arts results didn't meet federal goals.
Education commissioner Richard Cate doesn't think these results tell a complete story of how these schools are performing:
(Cate) "So a school could have improved over last year and some of these did, but still not have made enough progress to meet the requirement of that step. So I'd rather be able to judge whether they're headed in the right direction as opposed to whether they've met the federal equation."
(Kinzel) While Cate says he supports the basic premise of No Child Left Behind - that's to hold schools accountable for the performance of their students, he thinks the law doesn't make a lot of sense for rural states like Vermont.
(Cate) "We don't have the schools that the law was designed to address because they're in the large urban areas. And so when people talk about closing schools and that sort of thing, when there's only one school in town, that's not the approach we're going to take nor should it be. Our schools aren't in that bad a strait."
(Kinzel) Cate says he's seen an alarming trend over the past few years - a large number of the students who don't meet the federal standards come from lower income families. He says that's why it's difficult to compare test results on a school-to-school basis.
(Cate) "The bottom line is if you have 15% of your students that are on free or reduced lunch you're going to do a lot better than if 65% of them are on free or reduced lunch. It's that simple. Now that's not an excuse. And that's not a reason to not do everything we possibly can to serve those students well. It is just a more complicated task."
(Kinzel) Cate says he's concerned that test results show that many lower income students have fallen behind in reading skills by the third grade. He says correcting this problem is one of the biggest educational challenges facing the state.
(Cate) "What happens between pre-school and third grade is probably the greatest indicator of how the performance that student will be when they get to high schools. So it's not just about high school. High school performance is as much about early primary years as it is what goes on in the high school."
(Kinzel) The No Child Left Behind law is up for reauthorization in Congress next year. It's likely that the Democratic majorities in the House and Senate will want to make some significant changes to the law.

The need throughout the machining industry for cost reduction and increases in productivity have contributed to new interest in high-speed machining. Even though, many model for machining exist, most of them are for low-speed machining, where momentum is negligible and material behavior is well approximated by the quasi-static laws. In machining at high speeds momentum could be large and the strain rate can be exceedingly high. For these reasons a fluid mechanics approach to understanding high-speed, very high-speed and ultra-high-speed machining is attempted here. Namely, a potential flow solution is used to model the behavior of the material around a tool tip during machining at high speeds, i.e. greater than or equal to 100 m/s. It is carefully argued that the potential flow solution is relevant and can be used as a first approximation to model the behavior of a metal during high-speed, very high-speed or ultra-high-speed machining events. At a minimum, the potential flow solution is qualitatively useful in understanding mechanics of high-speed, very high-speed and ultra-high-speed machining. Interestingly, the flow solution predicts that there is a ''stagnation" point on the rake face, not at the tool tip as is usually assumed. Because the ''stagnation" point is not at the tool tip, the flow solution predicts a significant amount of deformation in the work piece resulting in large residual strains and a possible related temperature rise on the finished surface. To verify the fluid flow model, an experimental apparatus has been designed to examine fluid flow in orthogonal machining. Experiments were conducted at room temperature for different Newtonian fluids, cutting conditions and cutting tools. It was seen that, indeed, the ''stagnation" point is not at the tool tip. Next, a modified Hopkinson bar apparatus is employed to simulate dry orthogonal machining at 30 m/s cutting velocity. A focused array of Mercury-Cadmium-Tellurium infrared detectors is used to measure the temperature distribution. A three-component quartz force transducer is utilized in measuring the cutting and feed forces. Measurements of the cutting and feed forces contributed to the ability to prove the steady-state conditions as well as to estimate the coefficient of friction on the tool rake face along with the partition of the thermal energy produced during the high-speed machining process. Force measurements show that at this speed, on the upper boundary of the range of cutting velocities for high-speed machining not high enough to be very-high speed or ultra-high speed cutting, the role of momentum is negligible and the cutting event is dominated by material deformation, making the fluid model less applicable. Much higher cutting speeds, beyond the capability of this apparatus, are needed to make the fluid approach accurate. Not-surprisingly, measurements of temperature distributions showed little heating of the finished surface. Therefore, a study of the temperature fields generated during machining with a cutting tool that has a wear-land was performed. It is seen that the wear-land contributes significantly to the heating of the workpiece and, at this speed, is the most likely mechanism for the generation of residual stress and a temperature rise on the finished surface.

Hi guys, we've just posted about this topic here: http://www.afropunk.com/profiles/blogs/feature-21-varieties-of-trad...
Mulatto, what influence would you say Islam has on Africa & the beliefs in homosexuality? Would you say that the Arabs have had the same influence on African culture?
I'm not insulted and always ready to learn. Just going from either personal accounts from close friends living there, autobiographies, speakers & documentaries that I've taken in over the years. I actually just finished one book called "Infidel" by Ayaan Hirsi Ali whose decision to speak out against what she has witnessed & experienced growing up muslim has caused her life to be threatened.
Would you perhaps pass on the names of some of the books or documentaries or articles where your information is derived from.
@MAMADOC. I'm not trying to insult you or anything of the like, but that is a HUGE misconception. Just like any other civilization that ever existed, Africa has had many periods, within many places, where homosexuality was quite acceptable and even somewhat of a norm. It was only after the beginning of colonial slavery did a negative emphasis start to be placed on homosexuality in Africa, slavery in Africa was accompanied by the Judea-Christian religion, which was very effective at suppressing much of African culture, just as it does with anyother. And even to this day, that negative Christian-based emphasis still holds much sway on much of the black race in general, which makes me very sad. :(
The teaser doesn't do much to tease me but the description does make me curious. There are already plenty of religions borne in Africa that are anti-gay so I'm wondering just how much outsiders are changing "African culture" in this regard. It might be ignorance on my part but I honestly thought that most "African culture" was anti-gay.
Hunh? "...campaign to change Africann culture with values imported from America's Christian Right"? Sounds like normal imperialist business as usual by exploitative European powers.
I trust this is a critical exam of this movement. I certain don't support gay oppression but I don't think more religious brainwashing is what Uganda or any country needs now.
Got my attention, I am interested in what this film is truly saying.

Biological Perspectives on Human Pigmentation
€ 163,99
Lieferbar innert 2 Wochen
September 2003
BeschreibungSkin color is perhaps the most decisive and abused physical characteristic of humankind. This book presents a multidisciplinary overview of how and why human populations vary so markedly in their skin color. The biological aspects of the pigment cell and its production of melanin are reviewed. The functions of melanin in the skin, brain, eye and ear are considered, and the common clinical abnormalities of pigmentation, such as albinism, are described and illustrated. Detailed reflectance data from worldwide surveys of skin color are also presented. Next, historical and contemporary backgrounds of the phenomenon are explored in relation to the so-called color problem in society. Finally, the possible evolutionary forces that shape human pigmentation are assessed.
InhaltsverzeichnisPreface; Acknowledgements; 1. Biology of the pigment cell; 2. The biochemical and hormonal control of pigmentation; 3. Ultraviolet radiation and the pigmentary system; 4. Functions of melanin; 5. Non-cutaneous melanin: distribution, nature and relationship to skin melanin; 6. The properties and possible functions of non-cutaneous melanin; 7. Measurement of skin colour; 8. Disorders of hyperpigmentation; 9. Disorders of hypopigmentation; 10. Skin colour and society: the social-biological interface; 11. The evolution of skin colour; References; Index.
Pressestimmen"Melanin has probably caused more social injustice than any other molecule in the body, yet few sociologists understand the biology of skin colour and few physicians are conversant with the anthropological, evolutionary, and psychosocial aspects of racial pigmentation. All these topics are crisply and elegantly reviewed in this monograph from a Cape Town pharmacologist. Robins has worked hard to select the essential facts from many disciplines, and the result is a concise yet thorough overview of this important subject." John L. Burton, Lancet "...a crisply written, expert and intelligible survey of the medical and anthropological work on human pigmentation, and both physicians and anthropologists will find uses for it." Times Literary Supplement "...concisely surveys the nature of skin color in humans...not so esoteric that it could not be used by anyone interested in the subjects of human pigmentation, skin color, and race." Choice "...this book is a success. Robins includes a good set of references, and the book is well written. For the topics that he decided to cover, he has done a good job. The book contains a great deal of information and is handy for references." Aaron B. Lerner, New England Journal of Medicine "...a complete and conscientious survey of all that is known about pigmentation in the human species...will be most useful to anyone who wishes to add to that literature, and there is much that could be added, particularly in genetics."

grill emblem
I know some of you srt guys put the srt emblem in the bottom grill. What emblem is it that you use? if you could send me a link that would be great. thanks
Re: grill emblem
theres 2 kinds really....
theres the plastic versions ( charger, challenger ) that clips on to those specific kinds of grilles....
and theres the metal one with bolts to fasten it in place.
heres my standpoint on them though-
the metal one is smaller than the plastic version but the most ideal-- only cause of the ability to fasten it in with bolts and etc from behind the lower grille. it will be secure and no theres chance of it falling off anywhere.
the plastic one is bigger than the metal one. but it does not have the ability to bolt on like the smaller one though.... this is where i got fed up and made my own...
buy the bigger plastic version-
---Dremel off the plastic tabs from behind it, where its flat surface now...
---then take some bolts (x2) and place them facing up perpendicular to the flat surface..
---apply some epoxy underneath the bolts (make sure to get quick drying epoxy- i like to use clay epoxy cause you can play with it and mold it into the shape you would like. and its a lot less messy kind of epoxy.
---now that you have it dried. grab a flat piece of sheet metal (like the size of 35cent gum) or something similar thats smaller and thinner than the emblem it self.
---messure where the bolts touch the sheet metal, then drill out the holes.
---now you slide the sheet metal piece over the two bolts and apply some nuts to fastened it into place.
in order to install this new bolt on emblem..
you remove the upper grille and reach down and apply the backing to the emblem, throw on the two nuts and BAM. youre done.
Re: grill emblem
thanks i appreciate it.
oh i thought it was a lot easier. looks like i have a project to do.
Re: grill emblem
This is the one on mine. Bolted right on, been on a long time now with no problems. Couldn't be easier. :thumbsup:
Re: grill emblem
there you go, shes got the smaller thin metal one i was referring to up there bro.
it has the bolts and etc already on it but like i mentioned it was small in terms of appearance - IMO. the plastic one is bolder and slightly bigger in all dimensions.
gl wither way bro-
Re: grill emblem
Re: grill emblem
i think i will order the one posted above. if i dont like it i will go with the other one.
thanks for the help
Re: grill emblem
I actually ordered the big one described by 'Till. I like DIY projects!

About alternative and small-scale livestock systems
Extension educator Wayne Martin introduces chicks to their new home at the University of Minnesota Rosemount Research and Outreach Center
Alternative livestock systems are best described as methods of production and marketing that lie outside the mainstream or conventional ways of raising livestock. Those methods may vary to some extent with each species, but in general, the basic tenets would include:
- A less intensive production cycle
- Access to the outdoors/pasture, depending on the age of animal and the weather conditions
- Minimal use of antibiotics
- A connection to local/niche markets
- In the case of organic production, conforming to the production protocols developed by the National Organic Board
The methods chosen may express the farmer's desire to embrace the concepts associated with alternative systems, while producing for a market that can give the smaller scale producer a better chance of being profitable, and so sustainable. For each of the species listed in this website, there will be a variety of production practices that are considered alternative and acceptable to a large and growing community of producers and consumers.
University of Minnesota Extension offers resources, education, and one-on-one support to those farmers interested in alternative production and marketing practices. We provide information on characteristics of different breeds, nutritional needs, pasture and forage needs, basic care/housing needs, building markets, and marketing new products.
