Credit card companies can impose penalty fees on cardholders when you are not compliant with terms and conditions of your credit card agreement. Penalty fee is charged when there is a late payment, a purchase is made for the amount exceeding available credit limit, or due to insufficient funds on your account, a check was returned. Not only will these activities result in a penalty fee, but also may lead to an interest rate increase, a default APR may be imposed on the cardholder and remember, that once applied, it may remain for a minimum period of 12 months. You can avoid these fees and increase in your interest rates if you make payments on time, do not exceed your credit limit, keep track of how much you have available, and make sure your account has sufficient funds.

This is the seventh in a series of Aniblogger Testimony posts, where select writers will discuss their personal faith. Today's piece was written by a prominent aniblogger and is posted anonymously. The previous posts in this series were written by Lauren Orisini, R86, Nikko, Arianna, Ed Sizemore and Canne.
When asked what my religion is, I say that I'm "non-religious," meaning that, while I have my own beliefs about life and the world, I don't follow any established religion's view about these things nor does any recognized faith play a role in my life.
I'm a believer in the idea that man created God rather than the other way around. It makes more sense to me considering human history and nature. Life is hard and full of suffering – it always has been since humans existed and it continues to be so even with all the advances of modern society today. As soon as humans evolved differently from other animals and developed the ability to ponder about themselves, they couldn't help but think "What's it all for?" and "Why is life so hard?" That's where religion came in – it made sense out of a senseless world and gave people reasons for why their lives are worthwhile and their struggles will pay off. This is why religion was so much more prominent in people's everyday lives hundreds of years ago than it is today. Back then, without all the scientific knowledge we have today to explain phenomena in the world, people had no reason to doubt whatever the religion in their society would tell them. They needed something to make sense out of the world and assure them that life is better than the suffering they see around them. And, just as environment dictated how the culture and language of people in different countries developed, religion too developed differently in different countries to complement the unique lifestyles of the people there. Thus, that's why we have different religions like Christianity and Buddhism.
As the centuries went by, religion became less and less prominent in people's lives because scientific discoveries were gradually making more sense to people. As people gained diverse and easy methods of obtaining information through books, TV, Internet, and other forms of media, that too presented them with a wide range of things to ponder and believe in, and not just whatever religion was around them. But…religion is still a huge part of human societies because, as I mentioned before, there's still hardship and suffering in the world, as well as many things that science can't fully explain. People still need something or someone to assure them that they're loved and will be taken care of in an otherwise chaotic world. As long as there's unreasonable suffering in life, most people will need religion.
Having grown up in the United States, specifically southern California, Western mono-theological religions like Christianity, Judaism, and Catholicism are what I've mainly been exposed to. So why can't I subscribe to such faiths?
To me, the evidence that I see against them far outweighs the evidence for them. All I have to do is look at the world around me and think about human beings. If I were to list all the painful, horrible ailments that humans can become afflicted with – both in mind and in body – such a list would take pages and pages. I have to ask "What kind of 'loving' God would inflict his children with such an endless array of mind and body diseases?" Not only that, but they're distributed at random, with innocent people suffering and guilty people getting let off. And as if all the multitudes of illnesses and viruses people can suffer from weren't enough, think of all the terrible accidents and disasters that occur around the world everyday. The recent horror in Japan is a prime example. After seeing something like this, I wonder how people can believe in a kind, loving God that snuffs out a slew of lives in a minute and leaves many more broken lives for those who are left behind. Any father on Earth who did such things to his children with reasons like "it's for their own good" would be condemned a horrid criminal. Yet when the father called God does such horrible things, he's never condemned and is instead, ironically, prayed to and implored to help with this horror that He created!
But I know the religions offer many explanations for all the unjust suffering:
"You're being punished because you must have sinned"
– But who created the sin in the first place? It's like God creating a kleptomaniac and then blaming him for stealing even though God made him that way. God could have made all his children happy and content without any need to sin, yet he never made a single one like that. He created them with urges and desires that would make them sin, and then blames them for it instead of himself, the one who created it all. But even so, the suffering is distributed fairly evenly among the sinners and sinless, so it doesn't make sense to say that you'll necessarily be punished because you sinned.
"You'll be rewarded in the afterlife"
– What's the point of enduring so much suffering because you might be rewarded in an afterlife that no one has ever proven exists? Should I compromise my life because some faith created ages ago before people understood anything about the world said I would be rewarded by following their example of a good life? The only life that there's evidence for is the one right now.
"God is watching us and testing us for our own good"
– Suffering and evil happen whether he watches us or not, so what's the point of him watching us if he's the one who created the suffering in the first place. He watches sin after sin being committed by bad people on innocent people, sometimes the bad people get punished, most of the time they don't, so what's the point of imploring him for help if he'll sometimes listen and sometimes won't, whether you worship him or not? And if some otherwise decent person is slowly dying from a painful disease, or has to endure misery everyday of their life, what's the point of saying he's "testing" us when he won't tell us why and just leaves us to ponder our own misery. Again, it's a convenient way for people to tolerate their miserable lives by believing it's for their own good without the need for further examination.
"God works in mysterious ways"
– This is the phrase that can toss any form or reason or debate out the window. Whatever illogical or cruel thing happens, saying that "God will take care of it" or "It's part of God's mysterious plan," and then calmly accepting it as such, is just so convenient and leaves no room for further thinking. If a nice man with a loving family is suddenly killed in a car accident, while a cold-blooded murderer gets away with a mild sentence, that's not "mysterious" – it's terrible and unjust! We know nothing of the ways of God and why he creates such despicable things, but whenever it happens we're just supposed to smile and accept it. "God works in mysterious ways" and similar ideas make excuses for all the horror God creates. We pray to him daily for good fortune, and no matter how much misfortune we get (while others who don't pray get good fortune) we're still supposed to believe that we're an important part of his plan and our prayers are worth something to him? We don't know what his plans are but apparently he has such plans so that any amount of suffering he inflicts on the innocent is fine (but when we do likewise, we're considered horrible sinners!)
So now that I've established why the concept of a loving God in Western religion makes no sense to me, what do I believe in? I do believe there is some omnipotent power out there that we humans cannot touch. Call it "Nature," a kind of god if you will, but not the kind that humans created. Humans are not the special darlings of the universe but are a part of Nature and this planet just like every other creature. Nature and the universe must move along their course, and unfortunately a lot of suffering for living beings results, as Nature is neutral to individual lives. Even though the planet has to go through many changes that could have catastrophic results, Nature manages to sustain life in this world despite the terrible deeds that humans inflict on themselves, other creatures, and the planet in general. Because I'm non-religious, religion has nothing to do with my love of anime (unless you want to call anime my religion!) and thus, how it's depicted in anime, or if it is at all, doesn't have an effect on my enjoyment of the anime.
So what's there to do when the suffering is distributed at random and there's no sure way of us humans knowing what the meaning of it all is. I believe we were given our own individual eyes, hearts, and minds to create our own truth and not follow a truth we get second-hand from teachings that were created ages ago before people knew what they know today. The one truth we do know is that we all want to feel well and live as happily as we can. So I believe we should be kind and understanding to each other and have dignity and respect for ourselves. I don't have to believe in a God or follow any complicated theology to understand that.

First, let me refute the notions you have about Christianity.
"You're being punished because you must have sinned"
Christianity doesn't teach this. The whole of the book of Job is basically refuting this idea.
"You'll be rewarded in the afterlife"
This is a standalone point not directly connected to the role of suffering. You are rewarded for deeds not necessarily for having been through hard times.
"God is watching us and testing us for our own good"
The Bible says (James 1:13): "When under trial, let no one say: "I am being tried by God." For with evil things God cannot be tried nor does he himself try anyone. " So that's not in the bible either.
"God works in mysterious ways"
I can't stand people who say this too. Has no meaning other than, I can't explain this.
So what DOES the Bible say about the role of suffering? I could go into a huge preach but I'll make it shortish.
Humanity through Adam and Eve chose to eat the fruit hence symbolising that they wanted to make decisions for themselves and didn't need God. Original Sin, sin is inherited by all descendants. Hence, sickness and death. Jesus dies in order to pay equivalent exchange for Adam's sin, all who choose it can take advantage of it. Man however still is now faced with the choice of enjoying life now, (however they want to) or following the Bible's guidance and being reunited with God. Bible talks of new Heavens and new Earth that only the good will see where we will live out an eternal life. Till then, still have sin, still get sick and die.
Hope I've educated you a bit on Christianity, though I'm not sure if it was any help. You have to try to disassociate what the "Christian community" says and what is actually in the Bible. Jesus wasn't born Dec 25, Easter eggs have nothing to do with Jesus, many various different words were taken and thrown under the term "Hell" etc.
"The one truth we do know is that we all want to feel well and live as happily as we can."
For me this is the crux of the matter. Everyone wants to be happy, yet people do such horrible things to each other for their own happiness. My belief allows me to understand and bring meaning to it all, perhaps it is a self-deception, after all I cannot summon God to show to you, but I do believe in the hope that the Bible brings. I do believe that if people read it they wouldn't just see it as an old book with no application to life now. This was fun 🙂

So the idea is that all the billions of human beings have to suffer unjustly because of something Adam and Eve did? If they were the first humans, how could they have even known what sin was or how their choice would ruin the lives of so many of their "decedents"? Even if this is so, if God is all powerful and loving, he should know that his world would be a better place if humans didn't have to unfairly inherit this misery because of events long ago that they had no control over. Wouldn't it at least be more "fatherly" to make happiness the majority in the world instead of suffering? Having such horror and pain in the world just because of something the Bible claims two humans did seems really unjust. All this just so we compromise our lives to follow God and supposedly "be reunited with him" and see these "new Heavens and Earth," which again no one can prove exists.
6 May 2011 at 10:32 pm
I'm not talking about sin so much as suffering that people are unable to do anything about. For example, people with painful, debilitating diseases or the victims of horrific natural disasters. There's no "freedom to make our own choices" with this. Nobody "chooses" to have cancer, or to be born in poverty, or to have their home destroyed in a fire. Again, I ask what father would commit such a multitude of terrible deeds, seemingly at random, to all his billions of children, regardless of anything they've done.

Even if we talk in terms of sins, I find it terribly masochistic to live with such beliefs. And it's kind of …illogical to burden yourself with sth non -existent and then seek sth other non-existent to save you. Why someone who hasn't done anything in his/her life, hence a baby, is considered to bare a sin? Why should taking the apple of knowledge is considered a sin? I'd say to Eve, she's done well. Perhaps knowledge comes with a price, but I prefer constantly learning and not being in the dark and ignorant I think Bible contradicts itself many times, since it's a compilation of many people's beliefs and of many eras. And well, since a Bible is a text, it can be read in many ways. Anyone can be selective of the parts he likes and approves.
I'll agree with the writer, since such beliefs, even if not mentioned in the Bible, have become part of the faith due to the clerks' lectures and the tradition and are reasoned back to God.
I can understand that Bible or any other religious book might include and might be interpreted in really philosophic and loving ways, but I'll stick to my conscious instead of feeling that I'm bossed by someone I don't know. Because there can be some very ugly parts, too…Julia Sweeney, who you can find either on Ted talks or Youtube, with some humour has tackled the issue very well quoting the more 'suspicious' articles. I also understand that's your belief and I won't change your point of view as you won't change mine. But anyways, we must thank you for letting other beliefs in the spotlight, too.
But if God is all knowing, powerful, loving, etc., he should be able to get rid of sin, or at least distribute the horror that it causes mankind more fairly. What sin has a newborn baby or young child committed that makes it acceptable for them to suffer painful birth defects or hunger from the moment they're born? They don't even know what a sin is or how to commit one, yet their punishment is much worse than lots of truly wicked people who sin all the time yet are able to live comfortable lives. God should at least have the power to do something about this kind of terrible injustice in the world, yet more evidence than not shows that he doesn't.

No one knows a woman's body actually like a woman herself. She normally knows precisely what's going on with her body at all times - from hormonal changes, mood swings to every lump and slight pain that goes on inside.
Despite this intimate knowledge, some women know very little about what goes on in their private areas.
They tend to be easily embarrassed when their private part's health is concerned. Even a trip to the gynecologist is an uncomfortable thought for some ladies.
Don't stress about it ladies.
All women should be informed about what goes on inside their bodies. Even one trip to the gynecologist every year might save you further complications.
Read on if you want to learn more about your body's health or answers about discharge "down there".
8 Types of Discharge
1. Slippery and clear
- Sign of ovulation (Body is looking to get pregnant)
- Natural lubricant during arousal
- Good indicator to use protection and other contraceptives
2. Cloudy White
- Normal for some women to have a cloudier colored discharge compared to number one
- If the discharge looks different and you're feeling something out of the ordinary, like itching and soreness, then it's a possible sign of infection
- Possible sign of early pregnancy
3. Thick and Foamy
- Sign of yeast infection
- Common ailment among many women
- Easily treated with over-the-counter medication
4. Yellowish Green Color
- Sign of infection
- Possible signs of Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) or Venereal Diseases (VD) like trichomoniasis and gonorrhea. (Make sure you inform any intimate partners you may have recently had.)
- Schedule a doctor's appointment when this occurs.
5. Bloody or Brown Color
- Most often menstrual spotting
- Brownish color often means older menstrual blood left over from most recent flow
- If you no longer get a period or don't normally discharge spots then seek a doctor's advice. (Possible sign of cervical or ovarian cancer)
6. Bad Smelling
- Often times sweat gets trapped in the groin and produces body odor
- If the discharge itself is smelly then it might be sign of a yeast or bacterial infection
7. Gray or Black Color
- Schedule a doctor's appointment when this occurs
- Possible old menstrual blood like brown color
- Most common reason for black discharge is foreign objects in the private area. Go to a doctor and get a checkup to avoid toxic shock syndrome.
8. Pinkish Tint
- Most often means you're bleeding, but only slightly
- Often seen after sex or sexual activity due to the friction involved.
- Early Sign of Pregnancy (Implantation)

If you have a cold, is this reason enough to avoid getting a flu vaccine? There's a chance you should wait until you are feeling better but depending on your symptoms, you may be able to get vaccinated even with a cold.

This is a question that comes up a lot, especially when parents are vaccinating their kids. Children run fevers a lot more often than adults do. If you or your child has a fever when you go to the doctor for a flu shot, find out whether or not you should put it off for a later date.

It used to be that anyone with an egg allergy could not get a flu vaccine at all. Because there are alternative vaccines now, that often isn't the case. If you have an egg allergy, read this and see what your chances are of being vaccinated against the flu. And of course, talk to your health care provider (and preferably your allergist) about what your options are and what is best for you.

Understandably, most pregnant women are very concerned about what they put in their bodies. Could getting a vaccine during pregnancy harm the baby or is it good for mom and baby alike? Find out what the science shows.

If you have cancer, you have bigger things to worry about than the flu. But the flu could have disastrous consequences to someone with a compromised immune system - like those undergoing cancer treatment. Find out if flu vaccines are recommended for people with cancer and talk to your oncologist to see if they are right for you.

People with chronic health conditions like heart disease are considered to be at "high risk for complications" from the flu. But does this mean that flu vaccines are safe? In most cases, yes. Find out what you should do to protect yourself from the flu if you have heart disease.

The flu is a respiratory illness (if you are thinking of the vomiting/diarrhea variety - that's gastroenteritis, not influenza) and any type of respiratory infection is likely to be more severe for people with asthma. Not all flu vaccines are safe for people with asthma though. Find out what you need to know about getting vaccinated and avoiding the flu.

If you do happen to get a flu vaccine while you are sick, will it work? Find out how vaccines work to keep us from getting the diseases they are intended to prevent and how being sick when you get the vaccine affects that.

A full list of who should not get the flu vaccine, including when it should be avoided just temporarily. See if you are one that should avoid the vaccine and what you can do to protect yourself from the flu without it.

Hello, I think you should repeat urine test for pregnancy right now and if it is still negative then you should test blood for Hb, sugar(f, pp), thyroid profile and prolactin for better evaluation. Thanx.

Hello. I am 24 years old and considering getting a tummy tuck with liposuction. I would like to have a more hourglass shape and get rid of my belly. I am 5'5 and 185 lbs. I have been stable at this weight for a year now, but would like to loose some more before surgery. I have not had children, but would like to eventually, just not in the near future. Am I a good candidate for surgery? Additionally, what is the average cost for this type of surgery?

Thank you for the question and pictures. Based on your history and photographs, you may be an excellent candidate for tummy tuck surgery at some point. Generally speaking, the "ideal" patient for tummy tuck surgery is one who has completed pregnancies, is psycho socially/emotionally/financially stable, has an excellent social support system surrounding him/her, is capable of arranging enough recovery time, does not smoke and who has reached a long-term stable weight. Costs of surgery will vary from one practice to another and from one geographic area to another as well. You'll find some average costs of surgery listed on this website and on individual plastic surgeons' websites as well. Since you considering undergoing a major operation which often involves a significant physical and emotional recovery ( often underestimated by surgeons and patients alike), a few words of advice may be helpful:
1. Make sure you are doing the procedure for the right reasons (for yourself) and that you have realistic expectations. Be aware that an improvement in the "problem area" may not translate to an overall improvement in your life situation. You are bound to be disappointed with results of the procedure if your motivation for doing the surgery is not internally driven.
2. Time your surgery carefully; generally, it is not a good idea to have surgery done during or immediately after a stressful period in life (for example divorce or death of a loved one). The additional stress of surgery will undoubtedly be more challenging to deal with if a patient's emotional reserves our already exhausted. Remember, that an improvement in your physical appearance will not translate to an improvement in your life situation.
3. If possible speak to patients who have undergone similar procedures and query them about the toughest times of their recovery period. Any practical hints previous patients can provide may be very helpful.
4. Make sure you are aware of potential complications that may arise how to reach your surgeon if necessary.
5. Make sure you have a strong and patient support system (several people if possible) in place who have time/patience to take care of you. Arrange for professional nursing if any doubt exists regarding the availability and/or stamina of your caretakers.
6. Be patient with the healing process, understanding that it will take several weeks to months to feel "normal" again. It may also take many months/year to see the end results of your surgery.
7. Be prepared to distract your mind with things of interest such as books, magazines, and movies.
8. Expect less of yourself; do not go back to work, school or chores too early and let others take care of you (for a change).
9. Pick your surgeon carefully (a well experienced board-certified plastic surgeon) and trust in his/her advice. Keep in close communication with your surgeon and do not hesitate to communicate questions/concerns and the emotional swings that you may experience.
10. Resume all medications that you were using preoperatively when cleared by your plastic surgeon and stop the use of narcotics and sedatives as soon as feasible after surgery.
11. Keep in mind the end results as you go through the tougher emotional times after your surgery.
I hope this, and the attached link, helps.

Candidate for Tummy Tuck
See the below link on some suggestions on finding the most qualified Plastic Surgeon for you!
I have also attached a video for a possible Tummy Tuck Candidate.
The cost of Tummy tucks vary significantly for a number of good reasons:
Prices vary greatly because the surgery itself encompasses a wide range of techniques that can be performed to different extents. My recommendation is to first find the most qualified surgeons where you want the surgery performed that are board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery you trust, then compare prices between them.
See the below link on suggestions on how to find the most qualified plastic surgeon for your procedure.
General Factors that influence the price of plastic surgery include:
1. Location - Will it be performed in a hospital with an overnight stay, an independent out- patient facility or a doctor's office? Geographical location also has a significant influence. RealSelf has average charges for most areas of the USA.
2. Type of Anesthesia - IV sedation or General Anesthesia? Will a board certified anesthesiologist, nurse anesthetist, or an RN be used?
3. Experience and training of your surgeon. The best and longest trained is most often a plastic surgeon board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery
4. Length and Complexity of Surgery - how difficult will your surgery be and how long it will take, etc. Will other complementary procedures also be also performed during the same surgery?

If you have maximized your weight loss then you are a candidate for the tummy tuck. Some patients go on to lose even more weight after the surgery and have an even better result

Am I a good candidate for a TT?
In my practice you would not be a "GOOD", candidate for an abdominoplasty. Not being at the appropriate weight, and being of childbearing age, as well as wanting kids of your own would rule you out as a good candidate for TT. Remember, this is a forum where I answer your question from the perspective of how I would answer your question if you presented to me as my patient. There is no substitute for a hands on assessment and decision as regards surgery. Your photos and your question could have more than one good and appropriate answer. I reiterate, a face to face assessment, patient and surgeon, is necessary
Tummy tuck candidate
It is wise to lose weight before the surgery but you can certainly do the research now. Without seeing you, it is difficult to say whether you are a candidate for both a tummy tuck and lipo or just need the lipo right now. These are individualized operations and the fees will honestly vary depending on the amount of work necessary and length of the procedure. Please feel free to call to schedule a complimentary consultation. Happy Thanksgiving! Dr K
Candidate for TT?
Hello and thank you for your question.
It is highly recommended that you be at your ideal weight to have an optimum result. After you have reached your ideal weight, I recommend that you see a board certified plastic surgeon in consultation to get more specific answers to your questions which can best be addressed after a thorough history and examination is performed.
Best of luck to you
High BMI
your BMI is 32 -- you need to lose about 20 pounds before you are a good candidate for a tummy tuck. If you had one now, the result would be less than ideal.

Although a physical exam would be better, I think that you will get your best result with tummy tuck and liposuction.
Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of tummy tuck procedures each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.

Considering a Tummy Tuck
Thank you for your question and photos. A personal exam and consultation is always best.
That said it is very important to be at your ideal weight for several months before undergoing a tummy tuck. Your results will not be as good if you are not at a stable and ideal weight.
It is important to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon who can examine you and answer your questions. Your surgeon can explain the pros and cons of having a tummy tuck before having children. Also, surgical fees are something that can vary so, again, that is something to discuss at the time of your consultation.
It is imperative to enlist a board certified plastic surgeon to perform your surgery. Although you may see "bargains" be wary as you may not be dealing with someone who has the high standards and extensive experience as a board certified plastic surgeon.
Please read the link below which describes the various tummy tuck procedures.
Be sure to consult a plastic surgeon who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, experienced in your procedure, and who has an excellent reputation in your community.

UPDATE 2-Kinross Gold cuts reserves after mine plan review
Feb 12 (Reuters) - Kinross Gold Corp said on Wednesday that a "rigorous" review of its mine plans led to slashing its gold reserves by a third, even as the Canadian miner reported a narrower fourth-quarter net loss compared to the same period last year.
Kinross said its store of unmined gold stood at 39.7 million ounces of gold at the end of 2013, down 33 percent from 59.6 million ounces at the end of 2012. Analysts were not expecting the cut, since Kinross used a conservative price to estimate reserves a year ago.
The reduction reflects depletion through production, the divestiture of the Fruta del Norte project in Ecuador and the adoption of "fully loaded costing" on reserves, the Toronto-based company said.
Kinross' fully loaded costs, which it applied to operating sites, include operating costs, sustaining capital, mine waste management costs, and general and administrative expenses.
"The result is a reduction in proven and probable mineral reserves, primarily at Paracatu, but an increase in the value of our reserves, with higher grades and greater near-term cash flow expected at operations across the company," chief executive J. Paul Rollinson said in a statement.
Paracatu is Kinross' large gold mine in Brazil.
For the first time in years, miners around the world are telling their shareholders that reserves have significantly diminished, partly because of bullion's 28 percent price slide in 2013 and changes to focus on higher grade ore.
Although painful, reserve cuts are seen as helping nurse the gold-mining sector back to longer-term health by discouraging miners from seeking low-margin growth at the expense of profits. Reserves are considered the future source of production, cash flow and growth. Continued...

Beautiful photo's Obilixx especially when i put each one on full screen, thank you for sharing, only wish I knew how to do it.
To those of us who call it a dance competition and not interested in all the madness of Halloween and such there will be a sigh of relief, at last we are down to the nitty gritty. My personal choice from day one has been Kelly and Kevin though Anita and Georgia are coming up on the rails. Having watched and commentated on various forums for years this to me is one of the best years and as yet not putting a bet on any of the top three. I love Katie and Anton as you get good old Ballroom Dancing with them and it brings back memories of my late wife and I dancing. Happy days.
watched Monty's new show with keen interest and loved it looking forward to next week. Nice one Monty.
PS, what's all this then using the sleeve of your cardy to wipe your nose? I just uses a lettuce leaf then put it in the salad bowl?
Two words, "thank Goodness" we are now down to the dancers at last and sorry to upset anyone but I do like Katie, she is elegant has good footwork when the nerves do not get in the way, and last nights dance was classic, I hate it when I feel I should throw a bucket of water over the TV to separate the the male and female.
My choice last night again Kelly, Anita, Helen was good though she does give me the creeps and of course Georgia, it reminded me of my Mother dancing round the kitchen reducing me to tears of laughter as she did the Black Bottom and its ilk, she was a competition dancer, in the days of proper dancing to proper music, it did rub off on me a bit. The music last night was dire, who tortures the dancers with enough on their plate learning the dance without adding the hurdle of rubbish music with no common beat with the dance they are doing, please proper music at Blackpool.
Georgia Anita and Kelly again for me, watch the foot work. I am not a fan of Peter but the lad did well, Katie made quite a few mistakes yet the girl can dance. Helen danced well though there is something about her, let us just say I would not have dated her in my wild youth many moons ago. It will be real bias if Jamelia is in the dance off tonight I thought it good.
David Local free range chicken today, thighs like Christina and I love the thighs, "err" on chicken I mean. Nothing will be wasted Christina will go in the stock pot when we have had our fill of her.
Hostafan, You were not giving the impression it is a waste of time you sound like a gardener to me all I ever wish to do is tell inexperienced gardeners why some things often have to be done. Getting a new garden up to scratch takes years not days as I found with my garden, I was double digging parts for nearly three years letting the frost do some of the work and worms do the rest luckily having a good supply of manure from my Sons horses, not every one has that. It is appalling that builders remove all the top soil from a site and sell keeping just enough to lay down six inches on compacted ground and roll out turf on it, the owners have no chance, we get questions on here how can we save such lawns, I try to be kind but truthful as well it hurts. Gardeners are a law unto themselves the only real freedom we have unless you are bitten by the fashion bug and go into the latest make over nonsense those programmes have a lot to answer for. Most newcomers to gardening did not have the Dads teaching them from an early age telling them it was play and by the questions we get have a lot to learn from us old hands who did come up with a spade instead of a teddy, that is where I aim Hostafan not at gardeners like you.
Each to his own, as an engineer I learned early on if it is not broke do not fix it though when we did have to fix it it was done by the book, that way we only did the job once. No one tells you how to cultivate your own garden but I prefer a job done properly it gets results. Around me new people are moving in and want to grow their own, they have to undo some bad past gardening plus we see skips full of decking and pavings before they can find the garden. We do not live in the same place for ever do not build up hard work for the next person I say.
We would need to ask one of the Agricultural Colleges Hostafan and what would it prove as we all have different soil, I live on a brick clay area and had to double dig to get through building rubble compounded clay from machinery (we bought new build 30 years ago) then loosen up the under clay to allow drainage, luckily we live at the top of a bank so the drainage went down hill across a falling field to a beck, double double digging. Most around went the other way building up with raised boxes and such. With many loads of manure from the farm plus digging in paper clothing the odd rabbit dead bird and an old dog we got a manageable garden. My Dad had a sand hill under his garden and was nearly two hundred years old with masses of manure from the start his top soil was three feet deep and yet with experience from years of digging he knew to double dig the root bed which with rotation meant every five years the same part got double dug then sometimes left fallow for a year. I never even after all my work got vegetables like he did so was that a good test, was it the soil, the masses of horse manure we used at home or just good husbandry on Dads part, we do not know and all the scientists could come up with different results, why change something that works I ask?
Depends on what you are growing them for, show roots needed even then a tap root as long as the main body and showing was one of Dads hobbies along with his beloved Chrysanthemums and boxing he would go and watch all the boxing matches locally including my school, no H&S then. I would have thought it common sense not to dig near trees or shrubs our fruit trees were wall trained around three sides of the garden with a small orchard separate never dug. There are always more than one way to crack an egg, gardening is one of those pursuits with more opinions on how to do things than any other, take the easy route and get a crop, do it right and get a super crop, it is up to each person how they do it and as mentioned above there are no easy ways if you want the best.
David is correct, my father only did the double digging on the root bed, he used a rotation method so the root bed moved year by year. It allowed us to grow long perfectly straight veg which won him prizes at the local show. We did not use modern grow them in pipes back then. We also had a midden for our horse manure and compost so that bed got well fed. Potato's have to be earthed up so no point in double digging. Dad an old fashioned gardener fed the family and extended family from our large garden with a little help from me, he did not believe in wasting his time so used the double digging method once in a year on one plot in the rotation, to him it was common sense and good gardening, end of lesson.

Easily my favorite MMO. While I do enjoy the gameplay over comparable games', the category in which the powergap really shows is presentation and polish. From the designs, soundtrack to the animations, there really aren't any MMORPGs comparable in these aspects. While the tributes and references to older FF games are ever present, most people would be surprised how much of this game's music, characters and enemies are completely original and yet on par with the ones that aren't. One of the better examples for this being Ravana.
The game, to me at least, feels amazing. I came from wow after seeing so many recommendations online and from friends. The combat, while slow to begin with, becomes so varied and full of options and choices while keeping you on your toes. If you've played wow or any other tab target mmo it may take a while to get used to, but it is well worth it. And the fact that you can be any, and all classes and professions on one character is also fantastic and hugely beneficial to always giving you something to do! The story, if you're interested, is freaking amazing! It really feels like you are the hero and not just one of the thousands of others like you. The look of the game is pretty good considering it's age, and it's well optimised so it can run on many systems old or new! It still looks beautiful and fresh considering when it was released which is very nice. The world doesn't feel dead as character of both high and low levels are running around and interacting with huge loads of content presented. And the community is so nice. Sure there are sour apples, but they are few and far between. Rarely do i stumble upon players who are not just nice, but funny and willing to go out of their way to help you out. While i haven't experienced it to the fullest, the endgame PvE dungeons and raids are apparently some of the best and challenging out there and well worth the time. There are some downsides in the form of the amount of content needed and the difficulty of it for you to be relevant. It can get a bit grindy leveling your second classes and professions with a lot of work for little effort. RNG is also present but it is not to a detrimental point (Then again it is an mmo so it might be expected). And the there is the monthly fee. If you can pay it, great! Well worth it i'd say! All in all well worth the money and time, truly a game where you can feel that there is a lot of love in, both from Square Enix and the community!
I like the Final Fantasy saga, the eh played from console to PC, and would like to see more and more than this!
If you are a MMO player, don?t miss FF14. A good story, enormous PVE contents, various classes and jobs, lots of awesome weapons and armours. Everything you want is here. But the content of PVP is not rich, but the continuous updated patches provide tons of new PVE contents.
With the new expansion looming just over the horizon, and given how old and out of date most of the reviews are on here I decided a new one was in order. So first, the cons, as there are way less than the pros: Yes, the combat and general systems of the game are still the same. If you don't like traditional MMO combat then this might not be the game for you (then again, with all of the side content and crafting you could honestly spend months in this game not even touching PvE). PvP is still lacking for the most part. Which we have received new larger scale PvP in the form of battlegrounds, PvP in general is still mostly a minor focus for the dev team as they've stated multiple time. However with the expansion, they have said they're going to look at further fleshing the PvP systems out, so might be good to keep an eye on that. And now the Pros: Story/Immersion in this game, which somewhat stilted at release, has become an entirely different beast after a year of content. Unlike many other MMO companies who's cutscenes or events start to feel same-y after a while, the developers of XIV:ARR continuously tinkered with and learned to manipulate their in-engine lighting and models/terrain with every content patch, leading to some of the most fluid and interested cutscenes I've seen in an MMO world to date. No CGI mind you, this is all in-engine assets they're using. Same goes for the many voice actors in the game, which they may have been a bit still or bland to begin with, as content released you can hear them falling more and more into their characters. The world itself is beautiful and amazing, too. The game juggles a significant amount of side plots at any given time, even leading up to the expansion, and never once drops one of them and forgets it. It genuinely feels like a world that's moving on with or without you. The diversity (and more importantly ease of access) of content in this game astounds me as someone who only has a limited number of hours per day to play this game. For casual players there's a myriad of dungeons, low-tier raids, side quest lines and crafting choices available that will last for months upon months regardless of how much time you put in. For hardcore players with limited time, Raiding is super accessible here. Rather than have a single raid instance where you fight every boss in a row, each boss is it's own individual instance. Only want to fight boss 3? Then you only have to fight boss 3. And for hardcore players with lots of time, there's the same Raiding but with harder difficulty levels, as well as Extreme Trial (single boss, no trash) fights and so on. The community in this game has to be one of the most mature and friendly MMO communities I've seen in my years playing them. From vanilla WoW, to games like RIFT, Aion, Terra, GW2, Wildstar and more, none of them have had this level of equality to them. Elitism is rarely spotted, as in the public those types of players are generally shunned by most parties/groups, and so they tend to keep to their own private raid groups and Free Companies (guilds). Simply asking for help, whether it's in a city or a dungeon, will 9/10 times yield a favourable answer, and it's not uncommon for max level players to be running low-level dungeons for reasons and to have them teach newer players boss fights and such. That and the Reddit is still growing and is VERY well moderated. All in all, while at launch I would have agreed with most of the assessments here, FFXIV:ARR has become so much more in just a years time. Now with the Heavensward expansion coming in June, as well as the DX11 client, we can expect even greater things to come. It's hard to argue with the number of subscribers too, as they're still climbing to this day be they PC, PS3 or PS4 players. Speaking of which, as this game is just a sub of SE themselves and are only working on this project, it's clear to see our sub money is going back into this game given the sheer amount of content we're receiving at such a steady pace. Any other pay model would simply ruin what this game has managed to build up for itself. So, if you don't mind not having PvP and you're fine with traditional MMO combat, this is one of the best examples of this genre done right in many years. No gimmicks, no "Action Combat" leaving bad ping players useless, just pure MMO goodness.

Who's Watching the Beach?
It's not just those buff lifeguards. Most coastal and Great Lakes states have a coastal zone management program. And not only are the coastal zone managers watching the beach, they are watching what's being built in their communities. In fact, in recent interviews of coastal zone managers, 56 out of 58 said growth was the top pressure on coastal resources in their state.
It's not just those buff lifeguards. Most coastal and Great Lakes states have a coastal zone management program. And not only are the coastal zone managers watching the beach, they are watching what's being built in their communities. In fact, in recent interviews of coastal zone managers, 56 out of 58 said growth was the top pressure on coastal resources in their state.
Why are the coastal zone managers so worried about growth? A 2005 report released by the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration estimated that coastal counties cover less than 17 percent of the land area in the United States, but are home to 53 percent of the population. Within 10 years, that population is expected to grow by 12 million people-or by 3,600 people per day. Not only do these communities need more lifeguards, they need more people paying attention to how these coastal communities are growing.
The coastal zone management program was created under the Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA), which balances the protection and economic uses of our coastal resources. Congress will soon be debating CZMA funding levels and program components and there may be bills that seek to establish a coastal community program, which will provide assistance to communities to address the impacts of growth on coastal resources.
I think it's a good sign that the wide range of players whose job it is to protect coastal resources understand that one critical aspect to protecting the beach, the coast, and all the critters in the water is paying attention to what happens on land. If your job is to protect the habitat of an aquatic species, addressing issues of where and how growth occurs in the areas near or adjacent to the coast naturally becomes part of your job description.
I don't think, however, coastal zone managers-or the federal agencies responsible for assisting these state programs-need to wait for additional funding from Congress to better address growth and development issues. Right now there is considerable flexibility in the federal and state guidelines for coastal zone management funding. Local and state coastal programs can reallocate some of their existing resources to better engage on growth issues in their communities.For example, coastal zone programs could look at a community's land development regulations, or the rules that govern development, to determine how redevelopment of already degraded areas, such as a abandoned parking lot, is treated. Are there incentives or disincentives for the developer to redevelop this property? Incentives can take the form of different stormwater requirements, density bonuses, local support for infrastructure, or streamlined permitting. The more a community can create incentives to direct the coming growth to areas that are already degraded, such as vacant properties, abandoned parking lots, or underutilized buildings or shopping centers, the more coastal resources will be protected as the net environmental impact from growth is reduced or maybe even eliminated.
A coastal zone program could also work with a community to look at street and road design guidelines and parking requirements. Streets, roads, and parking can create large swathes of impervious cover, which can create significant runoff that can degrade our beaches and shorelines. Many communities have found that one successful strategy for reducing hard surfaces is to assess street and road design guidelines and parking lot design. Coastal zone managers could work with communities to revise parking requirements to encourage more shared parking between complimentary uses. Reducing parking supply could reduce total impervious cover in a community.The bottom line facing coastal communities-and coastal zone managers-is how to balance the opportunities the coming growth provides to these communities while protecting and respecting the very resources that made these communities attractive-our stunning beaches and coastlines. We may very well find that our coastal managers are just as important to our wellbeing as those lifeguards.

Fantastic location in the beautiful city of Edinburgh
You can't beat this location. Central to everything. Super easy access to tram, bus and train. Also very good spot to walk anywhere from. Just a few minutes walk to so many restaurants. Fabulous spot!!
Great apartment, great location
This was the perfect apartment for being at the heart of the New Town of Edinburgh. Delightful to stay in somewhere with such Georgian character but with all mod cons - toasty warm in December and a very comfortable bed. Although there is a fairly busy road outside, the bedroom was quiet and the sittingroom overlooked the gardens on Queen Street making it feel very airy and light - not always to be taken for granted in Edinburgh!
Dealing with Francois was delightful and it was great to be welcomed by him to the apartment.

The property is an excellent standard
My partner and I had a wonderful time staying in apartment 1 (ground floor flat). It was so well furnished and in an excellent location which was a very short walk away from the main street and all the shops.
We will definitely be coming back here!
Beautiful Georgian flat in central Edinburgh
Stayed 3 nights in December and delighted to find this spacious one bedroom apartment on Queen Street. The very central location overlooks a private garden belonging to the properties along this elegant street. It is however a busy and noisy road. The bedroom and fully modernised stylish bathroom are very quiet as they overlook an internal courtyard .
Large living room nicely furnished and small well equipped kitchen. Perfect for couple who want a comfortable base where they can chill after visiting Edinburgh.
Francois was very helpful and welcoming. We will certainly recommend this apartment to friends.
This apartment had charm and luxury!
This apartment was delightful. The security on the first floor felt just as safe as we'd hope to feel on the 3rd floor. The shower was spectacular and we spent several nights eating in and relaxing. The laundry was extremely useful (note that a cycle takes up to 3 hours for the wash and dry combo unit) and we left with clean clothes to continue our Scottish adventure. Positively lovely.
Great Location, Great Flat
The first floor flat on 33 Queen Street is a wonderful location! Close to all attractions, restaurants, pubs, shops and boutiques. Directly across the street from Queen Street Gardens (flat includes private access), which minimizes street noise with a wonderful view out the windows. Think Central Park West.
All amenities are included and efficient. The property was clean, however, the carpets are a little tired and a little touch-up paint would enhance the appearance. But, all a minor issues. Bed was comfortable and very quiet at the rear of the building. Minutes from every type of food you could desire. Recommend The Dome for cocktails and All Bar One for light fare and a lively atmosphere. Francois was extremely easy to deal with and made our stay very enjoyable. We will return!
