Ed Gilbertson, chief judge at Pebble (also at the much-lamented Legend of the Motorcycle Concours), selected the bikes around a chosen theme of pre-1960 British. Which affords a massive spectrum of historic machinery, and the chosen represent a well-trod path of Exemplary marques. Brough Superior, Vincent (Gunga Din!), Norton Manx, AJS Porcupine, etc. There's a real oddball thrown in for historic interest/breadth; Pete Young's 1914 Premier!
And I'm sure Pete is feeling, after winning a prize at the Legends with this machine, and being among the Select at Pebble, like his $8000 purchase was Money Well Spent!!! Considering the relative value of the other motorcycles (well, the Manx is cheap compared to an SS100, or Gunga), the Premier is an interloper, a pauper at the King's table. I love it. Then again, even a J.A.P.-engined SS100 is small fry compared to the financial Colossi usually found on the fairway - one-off Bugattis and Hispano-Suizas, unique championship racing machinery, Cars of the Stars, etc.
To bolster this toe-in-the-water into motorcycling, MidAmerica Auctions will have a tent set up directly at the entrance to the venue, and will be conducting (also for the first time) a silent, online/live auction. No cattle auctioneers, no Vintagent discussing the relative merits of 500 bikes in sequence (we'll save that for Vegas in January '10), but all the motorcycles will be under the big tent, available for scrutiny for 4 days, before the close of the auction on Sunday August 16th. I do believe each motorcyle will have a 'buy-it-now' price which will stop the auction, in case one of the Car people is outbid at the multi-million-dollar Gooding auction, and needs a consolation prize. That's the hope anyway! I'll be there to talk about the motorcycles with anyone interested, and Ron Christensen has lined up an interesting array of machines - check the link above, you don't have to be there to buy bikes. And if you have detail questions about a machine, just call, the phone will probably be handed to me!
The best part? Brough-Superior will début TWO of their new machines, and have an impressive display within the MidAmerica tent. More on this shortly!

Paul, Very exciting news about motorcycles at Pebble. I do hope they are well received. If you get a chance to view the cars, there is a very special Bentley there brought by friends of mine from Virginia. Phil and Sue Brooks have a 1937 4 1/4 Bentley with a VandenPlas roadster body. I helped them put it all back together last year and wish I could be with them. Stop by and say Hi, and tell them Cortes is wishing them well.
Will there be more coverage of the Velo rally. I am trying to buy a Velo here on the East Coast and having a tough time finding a suitable bike. Sounds like there might not be any running at the finish! Please, no more broken bones, but I do hope you can finish the story.

Too bad we won't be able to ride motorcycles to see the event since they are not allowed on the main road into the resort. Personally, screw the whole event for that reason alone. Too much snobbery for the purity of motorcycles recently anyway.

Paul, Great news about Pebble Beach, but at Amelia Island (the world's most innovative concours)we've had motorcycles for fifteen years. The class has featured among others, IOM bikes, Art Deco, American Fours,Sidecars, Board Trackers, Bikes of J. Surtees, and Daytona 200 bikes of the beach. This year we're featuring the iconic Triumph parallel twin.No snobbery here,our bikes are used to Delages and Rolls. Also we'll have the "Three Kings" : S. Moss(king of the road), D. Garlits(king of the quarter) and R. Petty(king of the oval). Boy is it fun!

Nice piece Paul. See you there. I'm letting Mid america handle the possible sale of my P11. Hoping to get a little whale watching in as well.

ah Mr Jer_your beautiful P11 would have been perfect in my Paris garage_once I told PdO we should pull SF closer to the continent_good luck and congratulations

Hi Paul. One typo there. I wish that the Premier had only cost $8k. It was about double that number. Still a bargain compared to the one that Yesterday's has for sale at $28k for the last year or two.
PS, it's a '13 model, not '14, but no big deal. Both years are good enough for the Sunbeam club at Brighton.

Elizabeth, I did what I could... The bike ran great on the 70 mile tour; only 3 bikes (of 15 in the bike class) went on the tour with the cars. The trophies went to the very very shiny bikes, but only mine started up first kick for the judges! ;) grins all around.
- August 17, 2009
For my two cents -
Pete & Kim Young looked great (period kit) and their bike was a compliment to the show. They are true enthusiasts and have a good time wherever they are. If anyone needs any proof, just try riding a 1913 motor bicycle for 70 miles of curves and hills!
The Brough display classed up an otherwise mundane bike auction tent. The stands, use of enlarged archive photos and the bikes themselves were beautiful and well done in every respect. Kudos to Vintagent for making it happen at Mid America and, of course, kudos to Upham and Bossier for making Brough happen at all.
While I am stunned the SS100 and the "bathing suit" Black Lightning did not receive any placement in the awards at Pebble (especially considering the importance of the latter having participated in the 70 mile run), I know the two judges - Danmeier and Thomas - are extremely reputable guys and theirs was a very difficult job in a class that was far too broad. Nonetheless, those bikes that did win were worthy and should be applauded.
Paul, thank you for your reporting. Unlike most entertainment, I learn while I have fun.

To Her- Age is a Drug
Inner Conflicts.
With every whisper
every whimper
she sees her life crashing
"Take another hit"
he tells her, as she
pufs the sweet fumes.
He holds her close,
as he laughs.
He hands her a drink
to settle the new substance.
She looks at him,
alot older then her, yet she
strives for a moment to be in
his mind.
She's so tired, so stumbles
as she gets up, so he
picks her up, sets her
in the car, and takes her
She can't catch herself,
so he walks her to the door,
to find her love, shaking his head.
He take over, giving this guy a look
and picks her up.
He lays her down on the couch
and kneals down beside her.
"Baby, what are you doing?"
He reaches down to her and
feels her pulse.
Her little body is going so fast,
and shaking a bit.
He kisses her, trying to stop
the tremors. He doesn't understand
why she continues to strive
for this. She tries so hard to
stop the urges, but with her love
away, and not hers, she just can't
help herself. Infatuation hits her,
and she has no clue how to over
come it.
He holds her close,
"One day, you will have me,
until then, please be careful, my love."

Chapter Twenty-Two: The City on the Mountain (2)Mature
Inside the onion-shaped building it was hot—almost stiflingly so—and the atmosphere was putrid and hazy with steam and smoke. Still, Seymour more than welcomed the relief from the biting cold of the outside world.
They were marched to the center of the cavernous room, where there was a figure bent over an immense caldron of bubbling green liquid, apparently peering into its depths. As they drew closer, Seymour could see that the figure was that of a male goblin, bigger than the rest. His face, glowing in the firelight, was young, yet there were lines upon it, and there was a certain air of graveness about him that contrasted deeply with the angry energy projected by Zveguestek and the rest of the hunting party.
But these were not the first features that caught Seymour's attention. They were all secondary and unimportant compared to one specific detail: the goblin had antlers. They weren't the antlers of a deer or any similar creature, but rather short, thick, twisted adornments that sprouted like miniature trees from behind his pointed ears, but they were antlers nonetheless, and Seymour de Winter had never met a two-legged mortal with antlers, horns or anything of the sort.
"Uarla, Etedstra Merset," Zveguestek greeted the antlered goblin, bowing low. "Zvenle kon kaptiban humanetan ye merghetan."
The so-named Uarla looked up from his caldron and surveyed them. "Zvui bena, Zveguestek. Amaklad konmoga. Podle deskanzal par ona reta—ye ete ombretan, tambina. Irégueted."
When the goblin hunting party had all reluctantly filed out of the building, leaving their captives behind, the Uarla stepped out from behind the caldron and slowly approached the newcomers, his long, braided, beaded hair swinging like a hundred purple pendulums with each step.
"Good evening, strangers," he intoned in flawless Murkintsenian, smiling ever so slightly at their surprise. "Yes, I speak your language, and no, I am not the only goblin who does. I am the Uarla—the Warlock, as you call it. I am to the goblins as the mage is to the humans, as the witch is to the elves. Now how, pray, do you call yourselves?"
"My name is Seymour de Winter, and I hail from Brysail," Seymour replied. "My companions are Simon Edmund, of Carvil, and Seoc MacInnes, of Iliathor."
"A pleasure meeting you all. And what, may I ask, brings you through the land of my people?"
"It was not our intention to trespass," Seymour asserted. "We were obliged to flee Waelyngar by way of the forest, and we were not aware that we were in goblin territory until your people stole our horses and provisions."
"Ah," the warlock responded, closing his golden eyes. "A misunderstanding. I apologize on behalf of the thieves. Your horses are here in the city; I will send word to my people to refrain from slaying and consuming them, and they will be reunited with you, along with your other stolen possessions, upon your departure."
"You are very kind, Uarla, sir."
The Uarla shook his antlered head. "I know your mission, Seymour de Winter. I know that which pulls you to the Carvil Valley, and I do not envy you for it. It is in the interest of my people that you succeed. The Great Protector has long stood in opposition to the Parasite, and so must we."
Seymour sighed but spoke no word.
Smiling grimly, the warlock turned back to his cauldron. "The Carvil Valley is a dangerous place in these dark days. I beseech you to stay in my city a while and regain your health before venturing over the pass."
Seymour grimaced. "We will be expected soon in Carviliet. There is little time to spare."
"Better late than dead," the Uarla reasoned. "At least rest here a few days. You are all three of ill health."
Seymour looked from Seoc to Simon and saw that the warlock was right. Both were deathly thin and pale and looked as though they wanted for nothing more than to sleep a full night in safety.
"Very well," he conceded. "We shall stay."
The Uarla nodded. "I shall have beds made up for you, and meals prepared. It should only take a moment."

Loved it
Kids thought it tasted great

Kids dig thes
I bought these organic apple juice boxes for my kids lunch, and they love them. They're pure apple juice with sugar that's derived mostly from natural sources, and I feel better given these to them than buying them the stuff on the grocery shelves. And it's a good buy for me. I shop at Costco as well, but they don't have this quality, and Thrive makes it very affordable for me to stock upon these for months.
- Carol Cabral
Great for the kids
My kids like this juice because it tastes good. I like it because it's organic and convenient for when we are on the go. Highly recommend.

Lotto's Magic Wand: A Man's Ticket to a New Life; Bankrupt on April 20, 52-Year-Old Doles Out Gifts and Contemplates Remarriage
By EVELYN NIEVES,
Published: July 15, 1992
WOODBRIDGE, N.J., July 14— David N. Demarest can't get a credit card but his debts are history. The two mortgages on his apartment and the credit card bills that forced him into bankruptcy last year are paid now. Recently, he bought his dream car, a Jeep Cherokee, with cash.
Such is the difference three months can make.
In April Mr. Demarest, a telephone installer for New Jersey Bell, was getting his paycheck docked to satisfy creditors and putting in as much overtime as he could to earn $50,000 a year. Then, on April 20, picking numbers at random, he became one of four winners in the $44.4 million New Jersey Pick-6 Lotto, the state's largest lottery jackpot. (A group of six co-workers, a family of eight and one other individual, Derrick Webb of Newark, were the other winners.) Mr. Demarest's annual cut for the next 20 years is $440,523, after Federal taxes.
Since receiving his first check, Mr. Demarest said, he has been living the dream that people talk about when they say, "When I win the lottery . . ." Like a magic wand, Lotto erased the piles of bills that forced him into bankruptcy last year. And there is plenty to spare.
"I'm comfortable," he said, in his garden condominium overlooking the New Jersey Turnpike. Even his apartment, which he shares with his son, a warehouse worker, looks cozier, with a queen-size tweed sofa and two recliners in place of the worn brown velvet sectional he used to have. Atop the 25-inch television he already owned is a compact videocassette recorder, his first.
Yet in many respects, he said, winning the lottery has proved that money does not necessarily lead to a charmed life. His own, he said, has changed remarkably little. He has not been tempted into trying fine wines or fancy food, trading Caldor for Bloomingdale's or indulging in a first-class ticket around the world (although he does plan to visit Florida soon). A Hernia Operation
For most of the last three months, he has been recuperating from a hernia operation he had five days after he won the lottery. (The operation had been scheduled before he won.) He is eager, he said, to return to his job and his buddies at the phone company.
In fact, he said, the most significant change in his life since winning the lottery has been taking care of himself since a mysterious infection developed one month after the hernia operation. He has lost 30 pounds ("I'd like to lose 30 more") and, despite being a chain smoker, is learning to listen to his body more.
"I spent a week in the hospital," he said. "The first thing I did after that is get a will."
As for the check, he has spent a lot of it. "I read the advice the first New Jersey lottery winner gave us," he said. "He said to enjoy it and that's what I've been doing. Enjoying it -- my way."
He has stayed close to the initial plans he drew for the money. Much of it has gone in presents. He has doled out healthy checks to his five brothers and sisters and to his mother in Florida. He has given his 1987 Chevrolet Caprice station wagon to his 22-year-old son, Scott. He visited Colorado Springs, where his ex-wife and 20-year-old daughter live, and bought them a pickup truck and Chrysler LeBaron convertible, respectively. He has bought new siding and had the kitchen remodeled in his ex-wife's house.
"The first check was to have fun with," he said. "The next check is when I get serious." Despite solicitations from brokers and bankers, he is sticking with a friend as his financial adviser.
"I have to start getting into money market funds and that kind of thing," he said. "I'm definitely going to start with municipal bonds."
Although he is eligible to retire in September, his 25th anniversary at New Jersey Bell, he plans to wait for an announcement on buyouts before deciding. "The word is that the company wants to downsize," he said. "I have to see whether that happens." Wedding Bells?
When he does retire, he plans to leave the condominium in his son's hands and move to Colorado with his ex-wife, a real-estate agent. "We've talked about getting remarried," he said. "But we haven't done anything about it yet."
Much of these plans, he said, are the same ones he had before winning the lottery. "It hasn't changed me," he said. "I still have the same circle of friends. I do the same things. I'm not one of those people who believe that just because I have money I'm better than other people."
Until he won, he said, he was never lucky at games of chance. "You know how people say, 'When I win the lottery . . .' " he said. "I used to say that I could buy every lottery ticket but one and the one that I didn't buy would be the winning ticket."
After he won, he received a letter criticizing him for continuing to buy tickets. "I got a hate letter about it wishing me the worst," he said. "But I still play $5 twice a week, more if the pot is big. Since I've won, I haven't even come close."
When he was swamped by bills, he became interested in the ideas of Gov. Bill Clinton, the Democratic Presidential candidate, for helping the middle class. But now he isn't so sure.
"I am leaning toward Clinton," said the 52-year-old Republican, feet up on his brand-new La-Z-Boy recliner. "But is he going to raise taxes on the rich? I'm paying $170,000 in taxes already."

The BC Liberal Party has nominated former Vancouver city councillor and parks board commissioner Suzanne Anton as its candidate for Vancouver-Fraserview.
The party made the announcement on Tuesday, three weeks after Ms. Anton lost her first bid for a nomination to lawyer Andrew Wilkinson in the riding of Vancouver-Quilchena.
Speaking with The Globe and Mail, the Kerrisdale resident said her connection with Fraserview is bolstered by a number of initiatives and investments she supported during her nine years at the park board and on city council, including the Killarney Arena, the South Vancouver Neighbourhood House and the River District development.
"I was the only councillor who lived on the south side of the city, so I did always pay more attention to the neighbourhoods in the south of Vancouver," she said.
Issues of note specific to Fraserview include improved connectivity to the rest of the city, chiefly through improved bus service, and "the long-standing promise by people of different political stripes to get a seniors' centre," said Ms. Anton, who is also a former Crown prosecutor.
She credited the BC Liberals with what is projected to be a balanced budget and a plan for growing the economy – a common message among recently nominated Liberal candidates.
Herb Dhaliwal, who represented the Fraserview area at the federal level for 11 years, will serve as honourary chair of her campaign.
"Suzanne is a hard worker and she is committed to public service," Mr. Dhaliwal said in a news release. "She will fight hard to protect the economic future of our province for the families of Vancouver-Fraserview."
Ms. Anton will replace current Liberal MLA Kash Heed, who will not be running in the May 14 election, and will face NDP candidate Gabriel Yiu, an outspoken journalist and political commentator. Mr. Yiu lost to Mr. Heed by 748 votes in the 2009 general election.
Ms. Anton served as a parks board commissioner from 2002 to 2005 and an NPA city councillor from 2005 to 2011. That year, she ran as a mayoral candidate in the civic election, losing to incumbent Gregor Robertson by nearly 20,000 votes.
On the eve of that election, Ms. Anton and other members of the NPA campaigned at City Hall, bringing with them a person dressed in a chicken suit, wheat and signs reading "Chickens for Gregor" and "Please stay off the wheat!" – jabs at Mr. Robertson's green initiatives.

How can I give viewers of the user portal access to view important open tickets that may affect them depending on their interest but they are now requesters or CC's? I know they can view the tickets they created but there are tickets that are important to many people that are not mentioned in the CC and will need to get a status update adn they should be able to view them as needed in the user portal. Any ideas?

At the moment this is not posible, you could give a couple of users helpdesk view only with the helpdesk role plugin

You could possibly construct a public report and let them see tickets that way.

You can go ahead and ignore those buttons right above, they don't do anything yet. We don't have a menu, we don't have a map, but we do have donuts.
We are located at Singapore Garden on Tongzilin Nan Lu. Just 3 doors down from Mike's Pizza.
Homer Simpson
I love donuts, ok? To me, it's more than a pastry, it's a lifestyle, a lifetime of good memories. Good times, good people, smiles. I was born in Seattle, Washington, but spent the last 11 years in Las Vegas. A city that NEVER sleeps, where people come to party... and eat. A city where you've got to be fun, fresh, and fantastic. So I've worked on learning how to make a killer donut.
It started with my mother and sister, at a local donut shop. I'd get the old fashioned and a cup of hot chocolate - that'll always feel like home. After years in the service industry, fine dining and 5 star hotels, my tastes have changed. I heard people asking for the new and different, but with classical style and quality. So I learned all I could about traditional French desserts, how to make the exciting and exotic (as only Vegas can).
I am always creating, innovating and developing new flavors. The more I talk to people, from customers to chefs, the more I'm inspired to push my culinary limits and improve on legends like Krispy Kreme, Voodoo and Top Pot. How do you take that traditional taste and blend it with something you've never had before? I love the challenge of a new experience, and nothing makes me happier than seeing someone's eyes open wide as they take that first bite.
And I do it all with the best local and imported ingredients, crafted with love. It wouldn't taste like home if it wasn't made by someone who cares.
So here's my offer - come to Johnny 5, try our donuts, and join the family. Let's make new, delicious memories together, and make Chengdu a sweeter place!

Malcolm Iley, Trowers & Hamlins' so-called Godfather of local government lawyering, has stepped down as the firm's head of public sector.
Although remaining with the team in a fee-earning role, he hands over the reins to stalwart and former deputy Helen Randall, a rising star in the local government firmament and a member of The Lawyer's Hot 100 for 2007. Part of a local government trio that joined Trowers from Nabarro Nathanson in May 2004 along with Iley and then senior associate and now partner Paul McDermott, Randall will take up Iley's war with Eversheds' Steve Cirrellfor the title of premier player in local government law.
Randall's role leading on the £200m Oldham regeneration is an excellent gambit, yet local government heads Stephen Matthew at Nabarro, Beth Evans at Bevan Brittan, Nick Dobson at Pinsent Masons and Mark Greenburgh at Wragge & Co are all would-be challengers for the pole position. Let the games begin.

Legal fees for Parmalat's restructuring are on track to rise to an estimated €100m (£68.7m) as the company prepares for its delayed listing on the Milan Stock Exchange.
Sources close to Parmalat have indicated that total advisers' fees could hit €170m (£116.8m), with legal fees falling between €70m (£48.1m) and €100m. Litigation is expected to account for up to 80 per cent of the bill.
The chief beneficiary of the fees bonanza is, unsurprisingly, Gianni Origoni Grippo & Partners, lawyers to Parmalat administrator Enrico Bondi. The firm advised on the restructuring, some discrete pieces of litigation and the upcoming IPO.
However, the firm's role has dwindled in recent months as the restructuring nears its conclusion. Gianni is now understood to be submitting bills of between €200,000 (£137,400) and €300,000 (£206,200) a month, compared with fees of €1m (£690,000) to €2m (£1.4m) per month at the outset of the administration.
Weil Gotshal & Manges, meanwhile, is believed to be submitting invoices of between €200,000 and €300,000 per month.
The firms leading Parm-alat's court actions are now reaping the lion's share of fees.
Around 70 law firms across 35 countries are acting on more than 500 pieces of litigation arising out of Parmalat's insolvency.
Studio Legale Lombardi Molinari – the litigation boutique advising on many of Bondi's revocation actions, as well as on the mammoth US suits against Citibank and Bank of America – and US plaintiff firm Quinn Emanuel Urquhart Oliver & Hedges are the biggest litigation billers.

#MM93WorldChamp! Marc Marquez Wins 2014 MotoGP World Championship
With three races remaining in 2014, Marc Marquez has stood on the top step of the podium 11 times this year, equalling the record for most MotoGP victories in a single season that was achieved by Valentino Rossi in both the 2002 and 2005 seasons. Although Jorge Lorenzo was the first to cross the finish line of the Honda-owned Motegi circuit, the attention was on Marquez as he clinched his second consecutive MotoGP World title with his second-place finish.
Marquez made his debut in the World Championship in 2008 as a 15 year-old and although his rookie season was curtailed by injury he made headlines by achieving a podium result in just his sixth race at Donington Park. He picked up another podium result in 2009 as he gathered further experience, before becoming a 125cc World Champion for the first time in 2010 by winning 10 of the last 14 races of the year.
In the Moto2 class the following season he won seven more races after a tricky start and he pushed hard for the title but lost out to Stefan Bradl, after a practice crash at Sepang halted his campaign. Despite ongoing problems with his eyesight from that accident which affected his 2012 preseason Marquez romped to the Moto2 title that year with a total of nine victories and 14 podiums.
The young Spaniard therefore moved up to the premier class for 2013 joining the Repsol Honda team as the World Champion of the intermediate category.
Last year Marquez became the youngest ever rider to clinch the premier class world title in MotoGP thanks to a truly amazing debut season for the then 20-year-old. He also became the first rookie premier class World Champion for 35 years, winning for the first time in the premier class in just his second race in MotoGP at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin.
Over the course of 2013 he would battle with the experienced trio of Dani Pedrosa, Jorge Lorenzo and Valentino Rossi, notching up six wins in total, but it was his brilliant haul of 16 podiums from 18 races which saw him win the World Championship. The title was sealed by four points over nearest rival and outgoing champion Lorenzo with an intelligent ride to third place in the last race of the season at Valencia.
Marquez is the youngest ever rider to win two consecutive premier class World Championships at the age of 21 years 237 days, taking the record from Mike Hailwood who was 23 years 152 days when he won his second successive 500cc title in 1963.
The 2014 campaign saw Marquez raise the bar, with Pedrosa, Lorenzo and Rossi unable to challenge his searing pace and consistently powerful performances in the first half of the year. Marquez built up a huge lead in the championship with ten successive victories in the opening 10 rounds of the season and even a mid season blip in form which saw him off the podium in three races of a quartet of Grands Prix shortly after the summer break would not hold him back.
His win at Silverstone after a brilliant duel with Lorenzo and his second place in Japan proved to be decisive as Marquez wrapped up the 2014 crown with three races remaining.
Marquez is the first Honda rider to clinch a world title at the Motegi circuit, which is owned by Honda.

Chrome Floor Lamp
We had been looking for a floor lamp for our living area for some time. We had seen several we liked, but the prices were extremely high. We saw this one at Overstock and the price was very good. We felt we had nothing to lose for that price so we ordered it. It came in about a week. We were very pleased. It was just what we needed. After a few days, the dimmer switch went out. But I called the manufacturer and they sent a new one out immediately at no charge. It was very easy to replace. I am very pleased with the purchase in every way. We have gotten several compliments on how well it fits with our room and the decor. Good product for a great price.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Same
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Good. Very happy with it.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Very accurate

Sophia: First DateMature
"Oh no," I cried, wiping off the remainder of what was once Roxy's face, "my eyes are really puffy now. I look as though I've been crying for the best part of a year."
"Well, you were crying for the best part of half an hour." Milo joked from behind the closed door. I rolled my eyes and began to brush my teeth.
Milo had talked me into letting him take me out for the night and I'd insisted that I at least change out of my Roxy attire and into something a little more Sophia. By doing this, I felt obliged to invite him back to my messy little flat whilst I got ready. He was currently sat in the living room flicking through channels on the television. From what I could hear, he'd found a football match to keep him occupied; typical male. I spat out the remainder of the toothpaste in the sink and rinsed.
Rather than traipsing through the living room in nothing but thin, lacy revealing lingerie – as I'd previously had planned for Milo, as a client – I used the adjoining door that lead from the main bathroom to my bedroom and walked over to my closed wardrobe. Upon opening the wooden doors, a mountain of clothes piled out and landed at my feet. I sighed loudly and shifted my way through the mess. I knew what I was looking for and I knew that it was in there somewhere.
I'd wished I kept the flat tidy on a regular basis, as it was extremely embarrassing bringing Milo back and showing him just how much of a slob I really was. Hopefully, he could see through my sloth ways and get to know me for who I was; and not by how I chose to live.
I pulled out the pair of faded blue jeans I had been hunting for and pulled them on, jumping a little to get them to fit properly at my hips. I reached for a simple, white cap sleeved t-shirt from a hanger and pulled it over my head and covering my flat stomach.
I brushed out my perfectly teased hair and let the wild, natural curls take over. I tamed my hair into a messy bun with an elastic band at the back of my head and added hair grips to pin back the stray strands that would not stay up. With a thin layer of foundation to cover up my puffy, red eyes and a minimal amount of eyeliner, mascara and clear gloss I was done. The final touches included slipping on a pair of rope embellished wedges and sliding on a chunky black bangle onto my wrist. I was ready. This was Sophia: plain and simple. Roxy was away for the night, and she wouldn't be coming out again anytime soon.
I left the confinement of my bedroom and entered the living room, meeting Milo's gaze as he saw me approach. This was the first time he'd seen me in just ordinary, everyday clothes rather than dressed up in my best evening wear or as Roxy. He smiled sweetly and pushed himself off the sofa, switching the television off with the remote as he did.
"You look great." He commented. I blushed.
"Shut up," I teased, smiling. I took his hand and squeezed it tight. Milo was taller than me, even when I was in heels. The last boyfriend I'd had – when I was still fifteen – had been shorter than me when I was in flat shoes so I'd never been allowed to wear heels when I was with him, so not to dent his extremely large ego, "so, where are you taking me?"


text: By Sarah Santana The imperfect subjunctive refers to a past experience but can also refer to unlikely events or possibilities. Si tuviera más dinero, viajaría por todo el mundo. (If I had more money, I would travel around the whole world.) Si yo fuera tú, no lo haría. (If I were you, I wouldn't do it.) STEP 1: Remember the 3rd person plural of the preterite. The imperfect subjunctive uses the 3rd person plural of the preterite (without the -ron). Add the Imperfect Subjuntive ending. The great thing about this the tense is that for all –AR, -ER, and –IR verbs the ending are the same THE YO -ra TU -ras USTED, EL, ELLA-ra NOSOTROS –ramos (there is an accent on the a) USTEDES, ELLOS, ELLAN-ran INFINITIVE Caber pedir dar poder decir poner dormir preferir estar querer haber saber hacer sentir ir ser leer traducir tener traer 3rd Person Preterite cupieron pidieron dieron pudieron dijeron pusieron durmieron prefirieron estuvieron quisieron hubieron supieron hicieron sintieron fueron fueron leyeron tradujeron tuvieron trajeron Imperfect Subjunctive Stem cupiepidiediepudiedijepusiedurmieprefirieestuviequisiehubiesupiehiciesintiefuefueleyetradujetuvietraje- 1. The Independent Clause is in the Past If the WEIRDO verb (independent clause) is in the preterite or the imperfect, then the subjunctive verb that follows will also be imperfect. Quise que vinieras/vinieses a mi fiesta. (I wanted you to come to my party.) Tenía miedo de que no lloviera/lloviese. (I was scared it wouldn't rain.) 2. The Independent Clause Refers to a Previous Occurrence This is used to express current emotions, doubts, etc. about something that happened in the past. Es bueno que (él) se casara/casase. (It's good that he got married.) No me parece que el viaje fuera/fuese largo. (It doesn't seem to me that the journey was long.) 3. To Indicate Unlikely Events Use Ojalá or ojalá que to express the idea of hoping for something that is unlikely to happen or is impossible. Ojalá que nevara/nevase en Panamá. (I wish to God it were snowing in Panama.) Ojalá mi hermano se casara/casase. (I wish my brother were getting married.) 4. If Clauses When introduced with si (if) the imperfect subjunctive can support an independent clause which introduces a dependent conditional clause. These are usually situations that are not very likely. Si yo fuera/fuese reina, viajaría por todo el mundo. (If I were queen, I would travel all over the world.) Pintaría más seguido si tuviera/tuviese más tiempo. (I would paint more often if I had more time.) 5. Formal Request Using only the verbs deber, querer, or poder, you can use the imperfect subjunctive to make a very polite suggestion or formal request. Quisiera dos semanas de vacación. (I would like two weeks of vacation.) ¿Pudiera ayudarnos? (Could you help us?) Wwishes , wants, desire s Eemoti ons Iimpers onal expres sion Rrelatio nships Ddoubt OOjala Worksheet: http://www.musicalspanish.com/tutorial/im p-subjunctive-worksheet.htm Worksheet: http://www.colby.edu/~bknelson/SLC/subj_ past_forms.php Practice Quiz: http://www.spanishdict.com/topics/practic e/98 Now that you have had some practice try to write a creative conversation using the Imperfect Subjunctive.

Silky Dogwood is a plant of moist places, that grows from 3 to 10 feet high as a multi-stemmed shrub, not as a small tree. Bark is reddish-purple on young thicker stems, turning brown with age. Twigs are grayish-green when new, then reddish-purple with silky hair and with buds that are hairy, pointed and appressed to the stem. The pith of older twigs is brown.
The leaves are opposite, entire, ovate to oval shape, 2 - 4 inches long, stalked, pale beneath and tapered at both ends. Leaf veins curve toward the tip. Stalks have fine hair.
The inflorescence is a flat branched cluster (a cyme ) about 2 inches wide.
The flowers are perfect, white, 4-part, 1/4 inch wide, with 4 white spreading lance-shaped petals, 4 stamens that arise alternate with the petals on long filaments with yellow anthers and a pistil with a single style that has a yellow-green knob-like tip. The green calyx is quite small. Flower stalks and the stalk of the cyme may have fine hair.
Fruit: The fruit is a 1/3 inch diameter round drupe containing one seed. Drupes are green initially and mature to a dark blue in late August.
Varieties: There are 2 known subspecies and one variety: var. schuetzeana, which is considered the species native to Minnesota; and then ssp. obliqua. Some authorities, such as USDA, consider both of these as forms and synonyms of Cornus obliqua. The second subspecies is ssp. amomum, a form of Cornus amomum. So we have two main scientific names that use the common name of 'Silky Dogwood'. Minnesota authorities, the DNR and the U of M Herbarium, simply list it (the species native to Minnesota) as C. amomum var. schuetzeana (Silky Dogwood). Eloise Butler also used C. amomum. The details between the variety differences are probably not pertinent to this general discussion of the species.
Habitat: Silky Dogwood grows in moist soils from a shallow spreading root system. Full sun is preferred but it will tolerate partial shade. A good specimen grows at the intersection of Lady's-slipper Lane and Geranium Path at the far end of the Woodland Garden. You will find it's branches intertwined with the Ninebark that grows next to it.
Names: The genus, Cornus, is from the Latin cormu which refers to a 'horn'. Most references believe that name was applied as a reference to the density of the wood of this genus, which also includes the boxwoods. Dogwood is very dense and was once used for loom shuttles. Cornus is also the old Latin name for the cornelian cherry, Cornus mas. The species obliqua, which means 'lopsided' or 'oblique' and refers to the drupe's stone pit which is of a lopsided shape, narrowed and pointed at the base. Other dogwoods have more round stones. The species name amomum, is from the Greek name amomom, referring to a spice plant. The author name for the plant classification - "Mill." is for Philip Miller, Scottish botanist (1691-1771) who was chief gardener at the Chelsea Physic Garden and wrote "The Gardener's Dictionary". For C. obliqua - 'Raf.' is for Constantine Samuel Rafinesque, (1783-1840), European polymath who traveled in the United States, lived here many years, collected specimens, and published over 6,700 binomial names for plants. He applied to be botanist on the Lewis & Clark expedition but Jefferson turned him down in favor of training Lewis to be botanist and saving the expense of another person.
Comparisons: There are four Dogwoods in the Garden. All have similar looking flowers. An identification key is presented below the photos.
Above:The individual flowers have 4 spreading petals with the stamens rising opposite them. The green calyx of the flower head is very small.
Below: The upper side of the leaf - veins curve toward the tip. The underside of the leaf is paler color, often with very fine hair.
Below: 1st photo - Flower cluster of late-June. 2nd photo - Green fruit of early July.
Below: 1st photo - Fruit of early August. 2nd photo - Mature blue fruit of late August.
Below: 1st photo - Bark on medium age stems is reddish-purple. 2nd & 3rd photos - Twigs are grayish-green when new first year, then reddish-purple with silky hair and with buds that are hairy, pointed and lateral buds appressed to the stem.

Notes: Eloise Butler originally introduced Silky Dogwood to the Garden on April 26, 1913 with plants obtained from Kelsey's Nursery in North Carolina. Her reference was to the scientific name C. amomum which in var. schuetzeana, is considered the species native to Minnesota. It is known in both Minnesota and North Carolina. This species was not listed on Martha Crone's 1951 Plant Census. Native to Minnesota in the east central counties and in the SE. In North America it grows from the central U.S. (Dakotas to Oklahoma) eastward to the coast, but no further south than Kentucky and Virginia. In Canada it is found from Ontario eastward.

A description of day.
Twisting turning; the dawn soaked clouds of mourn,
falling, falling, lone woman calls to those who heed her,
unbenounced to life, with it's rythem and sound she; woman calls.
Listen to the heartbeat of the wild, the trees flowing in their effortless dance,
the sun radiating life to she, Earth. Earth with her ground,
her nectar to the flower we call life; living, breathing,
walking, talking.

my brother working with usMature
so now my brother was working with us which was good as i've just seen something, a job for us which involved a gang of magic flesh eating shapeshifters so we went to the city centre with a baseball bat each and found the gang so we snuck up on them and knocked them out then we sent them back to their world. we went back for some lunch and went to work on our laptops and i was tracking down another brother of mine and i found him then we all went to see him and found out that he was one of us we was suprised about that and asked him what his diet was and he told us not to worry and said it was the same as ours we was glad about that he asked us what work we had been doing and we said various jobs involving the supernatural stuff. we stayed for a bit and had some tea. then we came home and showed my brother his new room and then we went to bed as we was tired but we didn't get much sleep as there was the noise of the birds all night trying to tell us something so i listened intensly and then told the rest of them what they had told me they said leave it till the morning so i did and i was the first one out the door to go and get the groceries. i came back and we then got called to a job so we wasn' t allowed any breakfast which was not great so we took care of the job and then we had some breakfast we then had nothing to do so we watched a movie with popcorn and coke like we did before.

Apr 1, 2011 at 8:27 am #1271511
I've always wanted to sleep (or try to sleep) on the summit of a mountain, something above the treeline, thinking Washington lol, of course in summer and with a bivy bag. Probably illegal, although if i don't go to sleep than is it actually illegal? Anyway, just wanted your thoughts, am I gonna freeze to death, get blown off the mountain, etc.Apr 1, 2011 at 8:43 am #1718315
Thank god i live in Scotland, where i have the right to trek/camp/canoe/bivvy wherever i want to! :)
Seriously, i've had some great nights summit bivvying. Waking up to the sun on your face (usually rain) and looking down at a temperature inversion. Mountain tops all around in a sea of white cloud.Apr 1, 2011 at 8:47 am #1718318

Go for it.
Worst that happens? you wake up cold at 3:00AM, eat something, warm up, and start the next day's hike a bit early.
Illegal? not sure, but who do you think is going around at night checking?
-WillApr 1, 2011 at 8:54 am #1718326
Exactly. Its not like Im gonna have a fire up there! I guess the only things Im concerned about are temperature and lightning. WIth my clothes, bag, and bivy, I should be comfortable to 10 or 15 and survivable much lower than that. Can't imagine mountains in the NE, even big bad washington, dipping below 0 in August. Sure it could happen, but really unlikely. So what about lightning? I would imagine if it were clear as dusk the chances are good that no t-storms will roll in over night.Apr 1, 2011 at 9:12 am #1718335

Summits are great in good weather. They are often not so good in stormy weather. In most wilderness areas, you camp where you want. Others may have restrictions to where you must camp. Follow local regulations. Many summits do not lend themselves to great level spots to sleep. Drop of the top, get up early and enjoy the sunrise with a cup of coffee or similar. Conversely, enjoy the sunsets then drop down to your camp.Apr 1, 2011 at 9:27 am #1718341
Art …BPL Member
maybe you have different mountains in mind than me.
but a summit is not really a place a climber wants to spend the night unless he has to. descents are often tricky, so escape from bad weather can be an issue.Apr 1, 2011 at 9:31 am #1718344
@ Art Yea to clarify, I'm talking smaller mountains than in the rockies, picture 4-5,000 ft (and 6,000+ for washington). Any descent would be via regular old hiking trails (and since I routinely turn around while hiking up, I have an idea of the trail going down). But my desire stems from the fact that yes, summits are not where you want to camp. They can be cold and stormy, which is why I want to experience and photograph that magic. True, I'll find a somewhat sheltered nook by a boulder below the true summit, and like I said, I may not even sleep (who can sleep when there's stars out to be gazed upon??), I just want to be there for sunset and sunrise, and to experience the craziness of a summit bivy.Apr 1, 2011 at 9:36 am #1718347
Art …BPL Member
… well if you want to experience craziness, then its summit of Mt Washington in dead of winter :-)Apr 1, 2011 at 9:55 am #1718364
@Art: I might be crazy, but I'm not stupid!! When David Breshears tested the IMAX camera he would bring to Everest in '96, he tested it on Mt. Washington lol. I figure summertime shouldnt be too bad. Most of the hypothermia cases in summer are from people not being prepared and/or equipped for the turn of weather. I'll have a waterproof bivy, 35 deg. bag, silk liner, and all my clothes on if need be. Even if I'm chilly that should be more than enough to ward off hypothermia.Apr 1, 2011 at 10:08 am #1718374

@doug: Thats some pretty serious mountaineering! Luckily the mountains Ill be hiking are not so technical. Descending Mt. Marcy lets say is as simple as following the yellow blazes.

I sometimes camp at places like you're talking about in Oregon and Washington
No problem as long as the weather's good
Excellent views, nice star viewing
Usually right at the summit isn't so good because it's windier, but down a little in a more sheltered area is better
Like the pass between South Sister and the other two – 7000 feet
Or Hart Mountain plateau at 7000 feet
Lots of places in Mount Hood, Mount Adams, or Goat Rocks at 6000 or 7000 feet.
Not the summit but way above tree line

@xpatrickxadLocale: Upper East TN
The summit of Washington is basically a parking lot with a gift shop, weather station and even a post office. You'd easily be able to find a flat sheltered spot to sleep, but I'd choose another mountain because of that. Many of the summits in the Whites have spots big enough for a bivy. What about one of the Bond's or Twins?Apr 1, 2011 at 10:26 am #1718387

@retiredjerryLocale: Oregon and Washington
ahhhh – Mount Washington – nevermindApr 1, 2011 at 10:29 am #1718389
@ Patrick: Ill be sure to avoid the tourist trap! I want to sleep near the top of Mt. Washington for the simple fact that the weather is so notoriously dicey, as well as the fact that its the biggest mountain in the northeast. But maybe Ill do the Bonds in addition to Washington! Im having my Base Camp Manager (read: Dad) send up my bivy for when Im summit sleeping.Apr 1, 2011 at 10:50 am #1718396
If you ever worry about a summit bivvy, reflect on the bivvy that Dougal Haston (my fellow countryman) and Doug Scott faced in 1975. They were climbing the unclimbed SW face of Everest, and knew if they pushed for the summit, they would be benighted. They still went for it.
This isn't the modern 'tourist route'.
After summiting, they spent the night at 28,750 feet without any tent, sleeping bags, or 'proper' insulating gear. They managed to dig a snow cave/scrape.Despite hallucinations and a wild night, both men made it down the next day without losing any extremities.
It's worth googling for more info on these remarkable men. Doug is still alive and doing good charity work. Unfortunately, Dougal died in his prime in a stupid skiing avalanche.
With a well prepared plan and kit, it isn't anything to worry about.Apr 1, 2011 at 11:12 am #1718407

It is not legal and it should not be. There is small area of alpine vegetation in New England and it is very fragile. You should always stay on the trail or on bare rock above treeline in New England and the Adirondacks. If you do this you should sleep on bare rock. The same would be true of some of the smaller mountains further south that have bare rock summits but may not be truly above treeline (Monadnock, Watatic, or the Taconics).
I'd suggest sleeping on the porch of Lake of the Clouds Hut or contacting the Mt. Washington Observatory to see if you can get into one of their programs that would let you stay in the summit building (I imagine that they'd let you sleep on their porch if it was safe and you were enrolled in one of their programs).
You could also stay at AMC or RMC (http://www.randolphmountainclub.org/) and get up really early and run up to the summit (Adams and Jefferson are great).
The weather to be prepared for on Mt. W. in July assuming you're avoiding storms:
Winds gusting to 70 to 80mph, averaging 30 to 50 mph; possible heavy rain; temps in the 40s (F). You could get lucky on weather, but even on a nice day the wind could average 30mph and gust to 50mph. If you're doing photography, at what wind speed does your tripod fall over? Here's the weather archive to see what the weather has been in previous years.

@ Walter: I couldn't agree more in regards to protecting the vegetation. I only step and would only sleep on bare rock. As far as weather and temps, as long as it doesn't blow me straight off the mountain (probably possible on Mt. Washington though huh lol?), I'm ok. I don't shoot with a tripod anymore, too heavy. For this particular journey this summer (ADK, Katahdin, and White Mtns.) I'm using a Holga film camera. I'd rather avoid the huts and anything civilized. Its the woods! I want to be outside in the thick of it. John Muir once climbed a tree during a rainstorm because he wanted to experience what it would be like to be a tree in a rainstorm. I feel that.Apr 1, 2011 at 5:26 pm #1718649

Hahaha, well given how HDR has ruined digital, maybe they would! In any event, I love the square format, and you can't beat 7 oz. I plan on only taking one roll of film for 3 months. Why? Cuz less is more :) I'll also have a small point and shoot for "family vacation" type shots, you know the everyday stuff. But for my art, 12 shots is all I need, if that. My favorite landscape photographer is Chris Tancock, who, in eight years of shooting, published 12 images.. but they are 12 of the most incredible landscapes Ive ever laid eyes upon.

Mike: It's not a police state in the wilderness, and its a corporate state outside the wilderness. That is one mountain. There is only a hand full of places I know of that allow no camping in all of California, and this is due to extreme overuse. 99.99% of the wilderness is camp anywhere 200ft from trails and water sources. And those are rules to attempt to keep the water clean, and trails wild. California is roughly 5 times the size of Scotland.
I do not mean to imply our entire government and society isn't a corrupt pile of poo, but more than our public lands are one of the only things we have done RIGHT. Yeah it's not perfect, but this country is huge. You can live free on BLM land, and they regulate an area roughly 14 times the size of Scotland. BLM wants you to move every 14 days to minmize impact. I believe it is the same in National Forest and National Parks, but I suppose those regulations vary some with overuse.Apr 2, 2011 at 11:42 am #1718917

Summit bivies! – one of my favorite activities. I have camped on several occasions on peaks in the Rockies (careful of lightning, of course), the Cascades, the Smokies, etc. Exposed campsites are tops for experiencing the wonder and power of creation! You must know what you are doing, though. Solid anchors, good planning, and knowledge are key. By the way, the Bibler Fitzroy tent make a fantastic exposed summit shelter. Maybe I can dig up some photos.Apr 4, 2011 at 1:09 pm #1719884

In late September, 2003, I slept on the summit of Mt. Whitney–just a sleeping bag–after a six day trip. A few of my group slept in the shelter. I must say it was most memorable–one of the highlights of my backpacking trips. If you can do it, I say go for it!

Perhaps a good comparison would be Frank Robinson - though the Reds and Orioles didn't make a franchise move anytime during Frank's career. I think more people associate Frank with the Baltimore Orioles, though many of know good and well he had ten solid seasons as a Cincinnati Red before coming to Baltimore and playing six seasons - Frank also managed the Orioles for 3 1/2 seasons. Frank won the MVP with both clubs (1961 Reds, 1966 Orioles), Rookie of the Year with the Reds, a triple crown with the Orioles - but Frank did play in the World Series 4-times as an Oriole (in six seasons) and was part of two world championship teams. Frank made it to the Fall classic once as a Red. Frank also played for the Dodgers, Angels and Indians in the final years of his playing career, but like Aaron in Milwaukee, noone considers Frank as a Dodger, Indian or Angel (though he did get his first managing job in Cleveland - a player/manager).Originally Posted by Brownie31
Thus, that one might be tough - Frank as a Red or Oriole. Frank established himself as a great player in Cincy.

Bringing back one of my posts from March 17, 2013:
Years ago I read a book about Edgar Cayce. The most fascinating thing I read about was his claimed vision about being born in the year 2100 A.D. However, there was one thing I couldn't figure out back then: The ship he described traveling in 200 years in the future was clearly more technological but the scientists he described meeting had "thick glasses" like you might expect to see someone wear back around the 1930s when the prediction was made.
It seemed to me that in the far future most eyesight conditions requiring people to wear thick glasses would be cured or treated. Today, it finally hit me: Google Glass. Those "thick glasses" were a computer system.
I think I've finally solved that mystery. It turns out the first person to predict that Google would enslave Earth was Edgar Cayce. Makes sense to me.

"Who Else Wants To Own A Loving Obedient Pet Parrot That Everyone Adores?"
Owning a loving obedient parrot is one of the best feelings in the world!
But if You Buy the wrong parrot it can cause you disappointment, regret and heart ache from day one!
Here's why, because every time you try and pick up your new parrot it runs away from you!
And then when you finally catch it! It bites you…
I'm sure this is not the idea of the kind of pet parrot you had in mind. Would You Agree?
The wrong environment can not only cause unhappiness, it can lead to poor health and even danger.
Trying to go it alone could end up costing you hundreds and thousands of dollars in vet bills or even resulting in the sudden death of your new parrot from stress.
You don't have to believe me! The bird forums online are full of sad parrot stories that could have been avoided if the owners had the correct information.
I recently read a shocking story in the Quaker forum:
A breeder sold a lady a 5 week old Quaker Parrot, the lady was told the Quaker is 10 weeks old but you still need to feed it hand rearing formula. The lady had no experience with parrots, after a day of bringing the baby home the little Quaker was still sitting on the floor in the corner of its cage and sleeping a lot.
The lady contacted the breeder and asked if she could finish rearing the bird?
The breeder refused. Luckily for the Quaker the lady found an experienced person to finish rearing her Quaker for her. Until it was 8 weeks old and self sufficient.
Or this one:
I was honestly surprised by the amount of valuable information in such a compact book detailing a step by step directive in layman language for a first time owner of a parrot.
The book proactively stimulated my thoughts in relation to the introduction and interaction of a newly acquired juvenile parrot into our home environment to minimize any shock and make it feel welcome without overwhelming it.
A great guide to feeding, caring and training a young parrot with the aim to develop the bird's individual character however establishing boundaries and in turn controlled behavior.
Personal, as a first time parrot owner (to be) I found the reading invaluable with a surprising learning curb hence would sincerely recommend the book to anyone contemplating purchasing a parrot for the first time!

Who is the Parrot for in the family? This might sound like a simple question; however we receive many calls from people wanting to order a parrot saying: I want to order a parrot for my son or daughter but it's really for me…
…….Can you imagine how confused the parrot will be when they get it home?
What age of the parrot is ideal for you?
Is the noise level of the parrot going to bother you?
Preparing your home so your new parrot will be safe and comfortable.
Creating an ideal environment for your parrot.
Choosing the correct cage size. Just like humans, a bird can go stir crazy if left in a cage of any size too long. This is worsened when the cage is too small.
Pros and cons of buying your new parrot from a pet shop or breeder.
What to look for when buying a parrot Get this wrong and you could be in for years of heartache and disappointment.
How to choose a tame healthy Parrot.
Getting your new parrot vet checked.
Providing a diet that promotes long life.
"Buying Your First Pet Parrot" Book is the number one resource I turned to when purchasing a parrot. With all the essential information, such as where to place the cage and how to deal with the parrot when bringing it home. Is what I found most helpful as well as other important details. I would highly recommend this book to anyone thinking about purchasing a parrot written by someone with many years of experience, it's the one book with all the information you need to know.
- Kiara Robinson
Cranbourne, Victoria Australia
I want the book, how much it will cost me?
Sure but first let me ask you a question…
How much would you willingly pay for a book that could save you hundreds and even thousands of dollars in unnecessary vet bills In a real life situation?
How much would that kind of saving be worth to you? $50? $90? $100?
I would like to say that this book is definitely worth every cent of its value. It's simple and easy to understand. I liked how it's got a cage size requirement table for specific birds, and it even compares between buying from a breeder and a pet shop. I highly recommend this book, as it has helped me understand how I can take care of my bird better. A Big thanks to Andy for putting it together. And I hope that if anyone is thinking of buying this Book, I promise that you won't regret it.

I wanted this information to be easily accessible and affordable to all new parrot owners so you can benefit from this valuable information, so I'm not going to charge you $100 or even $50

I really enjoyed reading it. Having just acquired our beautiful Lucy, it reinforced the things that we are doing are correct, and suggested a few more that we could be doing. It was informative and extremely helpful and it made me realise that we had purchased our girl from the right person!

Glasgow last week rolled out a £1.5m rebranding campaign under the slogan 'Glasgow: Scotland with style'.
Well, city centre Glasgow might enjoy the likes of Armani, Versace and Ralph Lauren, but it's just not quite stylish enough for the small but perfectly formed private equity boutique Dickson Minto.
The Anglo-Scottish firm is bringing the shutters down on its Glasgow office at the end of April. It opened the branch in 1997 originally to serve Glasgow's embryonic private equity community, specifically Royal Bank Private Equity and Bridgepoint Capital.
However, both clients have closed their own doors in the last couple of years and Dickson Minto, canny as ever, has decided that, with the lease coming up for renewal anyway, it's time to pull out, leaving it with just its Edinburgh office north of the border.
Dickson Minto declined to comment officially on the decision, but it is evident that the powers that be never felt Glasgow was a strategic priority. "I've never been a fan of that office at all," said one partner caustically.
The office has just one partner – Keith Anderson, who didn't return our calls. Management would like to relocate Anderson and some lawyers to London, according to sources at the firm. Other staff will be offered jobs in Edinburgh, forty minutes away by train.
"The Scottish market outside of investment trusts is pretty stagnant," said one source. "London, on the other hand, is going to have its best year for a long, long time and we could do with more people."
The highly secretive Dickson Minto can occasionally be a bit racy. The firm surprised many last August when, as revealed by The Lawyer, it decided to open up its books and become an LLP.
Posters for the Scotland with Style campaign might proclaim "Glasgow – the New Black". However, the Glasgow experiment was just a step too far for Dickson Minto.
