Istanbul holidays

Event Details
Featured Performer New Jersey Boy Steve Kunzman
Steve Kunzman, a New Jersey boy, is always searching for truth. His 2003 debut CD Find the Moon came after years spent making music and several tenures as a student in a songwriting workshop led by Roseanne Cash. Now in his new CD, Back Home, Steve explores his truth through the essence of home as restorative power, as light in the distance and light in the heart, through his multifarious music. With guidance from two-time Grammy-winning producer Ben Wisch, Steve presents deep, soul-stirring Americana with moods ranging from rollicking to whisper-soft and twang to mist-dripping melodies.
Steve's acoustic guitar and burnished vocal based tunes, offer a variety of styles and groove. Songs include a variety of styles from Afro-Cuban, the 'Shadowy' and Classic & Evolving Country. Thanks to a well-worn guitar, songs, and family, Steve's live shows are like a porch light shining in the darkness. He also plays mandolin and dobro in the New Jersey roots rock band; Rodeo Gypsies.
"Steve brings a level of sensitivity, skill and instinct that is totally original and beautifully honest. I was, and remain, a fan of Steve's writing, playing and singing." ~ Roseanne Cash

About Me Developer

Comments about oreilly Values, Units, and Colors:
I am reviewing "Values, Units, and Colors" as part of the O'Reilly Blogger Review program. I have had about a 6 month hiatus from full-time web development, so I thought I'd be able to offer a somewhat fresh perspective of this book's content.It's a short, quick read. It's also well-worth the price. There were quite a few things I didn't know (or hadn't considered), such as some odd behavior in older versions of Internet Explorer and certain times a value may mean something different depending on the order of values and keywords.I especially loved the explanation of HSL versus RGB. I had always avoided HSL and HSLa, because RGB and RGBa seem more intuitive to me. This book explains the two very well, in a way I think someone more familiar with HSL than RGB would gain an equally better understanding as I have.The book also covers some relative length units which I've never used or seen used (ex, rem, ch).Usually, I'm not very impressed with short books of this nature. I think it's fairly difficult to get *enough* information in so few pages. I think the subject matter in this book is focused enough to cover it quickly and concisely in less than 50 pages. I'll admit, I didn't expect to say aloud while reading this, "Huh, now that makes sense."I'd definitely recommend this book to fellow web developers, or anyone interested in tweaking the styles of their own website. I will definitely reread this book in the future.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Foundational CSS3 Components
By Ish Ot Jr.
from Ann Arbor, MI
Values, Units, and Colors is the third installment of Eric Meyer's fourth edition of CSS: The Definitive Guide. The partwork-style approach taken here is somewhat novel: Meyer is offering final chapters (as opposed to Early Release's often incomplete, buggy, or missing content) in inexpensive installments, with a discount on the final, complete book. I've been a big fan of Eric Meyer since On CSS and More…, so was ecstatic to learn that The Definitive Guide would be receiving a much-needed update to its 2006 Third Edition.As the title implies, Values, Units, and Colors enumerates the keywords, strings, numbers, and syntax associated with the manipulation of HTML elements via CSS. What could have been little more than a crushingly boring list is made enjoyable by extensive supporting background information and history, as well as frequently goofy example values like web.waffles.org and syrup.html. Also appreciated are details of browser support for features being described, often indicating their significant lack thereof, thus dashing the reader's hopes of implementing an exciting feature that was just described – which is of course not the fault of the author! Another appreciated feature is the use of mostly greyscale examples when possible – allowing for easy viewing on E Ink displays – reverting to color only when absolutely necessary, such as in describing hue angles. Values, Units, and Colors, which I received gratis via the O'Reilly Blogger Review Program, is a superb overview of its namesake properties. The book concludes with a Color Equivalence Table, detailing the RGB Decimal, RGB Percentage, HSL, Hex, and Short Hex (when applicable) derivations of all 147 keywords defined in the CSS Color Module Level 3. I'm certainly looking forward to the next installment!

Clinton aims for Obama's seal of approval at Challenge
By Mark Lamport-Stokes
LA QUINTA, California (Reuters) - While Bill Clinton's involvement with the Humana Challenge has given the tournament a much needed boost, the former U.S. president hopes to add further luster with a visit by President Barack Obama.
Both men are keen amateur golfers and Clinton believes Obama would relish a trip to the California desert to see what the $5.6 million PGA Tour event is doing away from the course to help raise awareness about health.
Since 1960, the popular pro-am tournament has donated more than $52 million to Eisenhower Medical Center and a variety of local charities with last year's edition raising a record total of almost $2.1 million.
"I would like to talk him (Obama) into coming out here," Clinton, whose own charitable foundation linked up with the Humana Challenge last year, told a news conference at La Quinta Country Club on Thursday during the opening round.
"I came once as president for (tournament host) Bob Hope and I think it would really mean a lot to him (Obama). He and Michelle Obama could look at some of this (health awareness) stuff that's part of what they're trying to do."
"I would be doing him a favor if I brought him here next year," Clinton added with a grin. "He has become a total golf nut and, you know, he never got to play very much before."
The two men have played golf together on several occasions, most recently at Andrews Air Force Base where they completed just 13 holes before Obama had to leave because of work commitments.
"And he had the lowest score by far he had ever shot at Andrews, he was five shots ahead of me after nine holes," Clinton recalled. "But I'm older. I start slow and pick up. Continued...

Hydra Press or Bow Master Bowpress
I was wondering what the limitations were on the Hydra Press bow press and that portable BowMaster Bowpress I've seen on-line. I would not use this very often, like for doing my own strings or anything, just for the occasional peep site or silencer. The portable Bow Master looks like it would work with just about any bow if you got the extra bracket guides, but I don't know if the Hydra Press is limited to certain style bows. I would primarily be using it on my PSE Bowmadness XL or my Hoyt AlphaMax, do you guys think the Hydra Press standard would work for this, or would that little portable cable Bow Master work for the occasional tweak I may need to do?

Hello everyone. I've been browsing the forum for about 3 weeks now and figured I'd make my first post. For the past 18 years I've been driving a 1991 Toyota 4x4. After over 330,000 kms I decided it was time for something new. I would have bought another Toyota in a heartbeat, but they just don't make anything I want. I don't like the looks of the 2005 and up trucks, and I couldn't find a 2003-2004 with low mileage. I knew that if I were to buy a car, it would have to be a hatchback for the dog and occasional camping trips etc. After looking at brand new Imprezas and Mazda 3's I still couldn't make up my mind. Then.....one day I saw a 2008 WRX advertised on used vic.com (local classified site). I knew instantly that this was to be my first Subaru and 2 days later, it was. Now I have alot of reading to do to learn how to best take care of and improve my car. I sure am happy I got this wrx instead of the impreza. Thanks to all of you for taking the time to post about your own experiences, as it is an invaluable resource for us newbies.
(was that too long?):

My feelings, if it takes an influx of newer cars to keep a venue going, so be it. Change is a fact of life in this hot rod/street rod scene and the fact that many of the newer folks have neither the time, money, skills or inclination and the fact that there is very little in the way of original cars available. Do I like it - no, do I accept it? Yes!! That's the way it has to be today. Do I want it to go the way of Goodguys - no, but they are drawing bigger numbers of entries in many cases then the NSRA. The big venues like York, Kalamazoo and Louisville I hope never have to change to some post '48 cars. Will be inevitable, probably. This year and even the past few years I have seen fewer and fewer cars at York where they have had 7000 or more. My guess, this year, 4500 - 5000. Another problem - the vendors. I'm seeing fewer hot rod vendors and more general merchandise sellers at York, the NSRA's second largest show. Why? It just plain costs too much - you have to sell a lot of product to pay to get there from West Cupcake, California then pay $3000 AND UP for a space. Fewer cars equals fewer sales and translates into a decision to probably not come back next year.
To sum it up again, I don't like the trend but I do understand what is happening and why. I understand what Deuce is saying and why and from his viewpoint - but, let's face it - it is a form of progress, like it or not. Deuce, I like your traditional values in this hobby/sport/pastime - but things are changing whether we like it or not. Street rodders (baby boomers) are getting into their 60s and then some and neither one of us is a spring chicken and I'm even more of a last year's old rooster. There are getting to be more and more electric scooters at every show I go to now. The youngsters are not coming into the car thing. They have a wife, 2.1 kids, a $15,000 credit card bill, a big mortgage and a 6 year old unpaid for soccer mom's mini van. If do they show with their '69 Mustang GT, maybe with some education we can sway them once their other "debts" are finished, but if not, maybe encourage them to keep going with what they have.
Now shall we throw another cement block on this discussion - some of the ricers cars are getting to that age.........

I was there when the classic chevy shows integrated the newer year cars and ...well it all went to hell. I was big into 55-57 chevys and still am but now when you go to a classic chevy show it is a mix...NOT THE SAME ATMOSPHERE. I want to talk tri-five not 68 camaro. Not that there is any thing wrong with a camaro, I have had a few,but I never tried bring them to a tri-five only event. Ever try to get a Big Mac at Burger King? same kind of burger joint ,...but different.
I have a 34 ford and when ever it ever gets done I would like to go hang with other "street rods" and compare notes. If I bring my 34 ford to a show with your truck it is just not the same as other pre-48 cars and trucks. When I want to see trucks to compare to the 55 BBW truck I have then I go to a truck event. Do you get it? I love all that is automotive,but open shows and cruises are for all. The specialized shows are not. If it ever changes to let all cars I will stop going to rod runs.
Next time there is a mopar only show go and see if you can show with them. I bet they turn you away. I am not trying to be mean I just don't think this is the best thing for our hobby.
This sort of thing is happening also to our local car club...We had a year cap and then somebody started letting new cars in the club....guess what happened....now we got a big mess and the feel of the club had changed and it is not fun anymore. The same will happen to the NSRA.....Get a rod if you must got to the events...you will be happier when you go..
As far as James Dean is concerned ,he is dead and well, leave him there. He was and actor and a drunk who raced. Rules are rules and that is wrong with this world.......everybody thinks rule don't apply to them so they try to bend them and then get mad when they are met with resistance by those who follow the rules....Of course changing the rules to fill ones wallet is another problem that is wrong with this world too but that another discussion...JMO Tim

It just seems to me you want to make the category of "street rod" synonymous with the all encompassing category of "hot rod". And once you do that, the term looses its meaning altogether.
Arbitrary or not, the 1948 simply defines a certain era and type of hot rod, differentiating it from late model trucks, muscle cars, street machines, pro-street and the like. Sure, the term "street rod" could be opened up to include everybody and their brother...but then street rodders would simply invent a new term to identify their little corner of the hot rod community.
So is your point that you don't want '48 and earlier enthusiasts to have a special identity?
Always learning...and sharing what I've learned.
To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
Don't get me wrong, I love the muscle cars of the 60's and pretty much all the 50's cars. But when the NSRA starts letting in the newer cars into the Nats, we will most likely start scheduling our trips back east to attend the all Chrysler show at Carlsile or possibly the Mopar Nats instead.
I think it need's to stay the way it is.A street rod is a street rod,And hot rods are hot rods,And so on!!!!!
OK, I give..
Ok guys, I'll attend the shows that allow me in and won't try to dirty the grounds with my hot rod that doesn't deserve to share the ground with the rat rods at Louisville.
I was just curious how many would take your cars and go home so to speak.
When it happens don't blame me. I have no say. I don't know if I'll try to get in that first year or not. I prefer NSRA over GoodGuys for a couple of reasons. I sure hope they don't eventually allow ricers though.
One last thought before I let this thread die. There apparently is no clean lines in defining a street rod that I am satisfied with at this time other than 1948 being the last year of a street rod.
And anything a corporation can manufacture in fiberglass that looks reasonably close to 30's/40's qualifies where as a 1950's Detriot steel body does not. ok, I accept that.
Toyota 6 bangers work for a street rod, but a classic 348 American V-8 won't work in a newer vehicle. Ok,fine.
Rat rods are ok! ....alright, I accept that.
One thing I read in the magazine they put out when you get your package is a poll they published on what people liked best about the Nats. I'll never forget it! The poll asked: "what is it you like best about the Nats?". The answer that got the most votes was "the trip out there with good friends".
Guys, it goes way beyond the cars. The cars themselves are a small part of the overall experience. It goes in to good friends sharing good times, entertainment, education, going out for a good meal with good people, a chance to get away and immerse in a car culture.
When the year limit changes, non of that goes away. I sure hope to see plenty of 32's 33's and 34's among the 55's 56's 57's ...and may be even 58's? Maybe it won't happen for several years yet? I'll wait.
I'm not mad, and I am not picking on you...but... ...
look at 3 things you put in the last post.
EDIT: I guess what I am saying, is like the issues here in CT with yups moving into once-country settings on nice cutesy farm roads. They find some land, build their monster, but then want the town to restrict ANY more building permits because the road & town won't look the same. So, you want the rats & ricers excluded, but want your "too new" truck and chevelle to be included.......because those 2 are "more" of a streetrod than a rat or ricer??

The rats are here to stay. http://www.hotrodders.com/forum/newr...e=1&p=1010332#
Like them or not they fit into the broad qualification of anything before 1948 is a "Street Rod".
The term Hot Rod is a little more definable. So is ricer, although it's getting a little more gray now.
You already have Ricer engines in Street Rods though. So change is happening, and not everyone will like the change, but many have accepted the change that has already happened and moved on.
I don't like some things done to some cars of the 60's and don't care for some of the cultures of some car guys. I seem to get along with most Street Rodders and most Hot Rodders I have met.
I don't care for burn outs, but will watch the stupidity just for the sake of wonderment at how someone could do that! Doesn't mean I want to hang out with them. The guys I like to hang out with have a little more sense. Will I lay a little scratch now and then? You betcha! But the line between a demonstration of power and demonstration of stupidity is pretty clear to me. Maybe not someone else, and that's ok. But I watch and accept, while I don't always agree.
We all have our opinions, likes and dislikes, and won't always agree on everything. And that's ok! That's what freedom is all about. Thank a vet!
NSRA open to newer cars?
I dont want a change,if you want to look at or show with muscle cars, do it. I wouldnt show up at a Vintage Packard show or the Mopar Nats with my 46 Ford. Las Vegas had a HUGE Corvette Organization and you can bet your sweet backside no Mustangs ever showed up at their events. I prefer cruises to shows any time, (I am non-denominational) just no hassle and a great variety of people.
NSRA Nats revisit
Ok, I threw this out there a couple of years ago because I seen the change coming, and wanted it to within reason. I also seen the line being drawn in the sand.
I stand with the "nothing newer than 72" logic, but the extremely small percentage of mid to late 70's cars that came to the NSRA Nationals were few and far between.
I seen some fantastic Detroit Iron from the 50's, 60's and early 70's.
I tried to make the point that the change was coming and that we need to manage it instead of drawing the line in the sand and falling on swords.
I liked most of what I seen and prefer a lot of 50's and 60's cars to a lot of 40's and 20's... just my opinion.
I seen some fantastic cars that would not have made it in last year, and a lot more cars that I personally liked!
I also seen a significant increase in younger people attending.
If the NSRA can define what a Street Rod is in the first place, they can danged sure well re-define it as well!
Not all change is bad!
NSRA, national street rod assoc. And there are muscle cars, two completely different types of machines.
Two types of machines
I can see where someone might think that they are two different types of machines .......for a VERY short time period!
The NSRA manufactured the definition of what a "Street Rod" is and it didn't exist before they did! Then by not enforcing a strict rule guideline things seemed to fall into gray areas.
The NSRA is NOT a club that votes by membership. It's a privately owned business that has to survive in a tough economy.
I think I can argue that my flame engulfed 1969 is more of a "Street Rod" than many cars that came through the gates the last few years!
I don't understand the logic of excluding cool cars from the show because of age. I do know that it worked to get in younger people and that's a good thing!
So while 21 years difference in manufacture from the same place is a sin, replicars that loosely resemble older cars are perfectly fine? Rat Rods are fine? The list goes on!
Trying to restrict the entry is not good business sense. It's also not a true car lover's logic.
A cool car is a cool car, no matter the year of manufacture. Heck I like some of the new muscle coming out today and don't mind seeing it at the local cruise-ins!
Personally to me street rods are wanbe hotrods anyway, no go twinkly, twinkly little chrome star.
The idea that one takes a car that is just rusted and bashed up, fixes it, slaps fancy paint on it and basically looks stock in the end is boring.
A hotrod needs pizazz , in your face no fenders, side pipes and loud, thats appealing.
I am not king so all I say is just the way I view the world. I like cars and a fine well finished machine is t i t s in my book. I only see American iron when I go to the shows, big honking American iron.
NSRA 48 & older
NSRA this weekend in Kalamazoo Michigan You can get in with a 1982 or older. I have been going for years with my 53 chevy pu but it looks like a 48 so who knows? Used to be about 2800 to 3000 cars but now about 1800. some real nice newer stuff there

Popular Top 5 Phoenix Coyotes of All Time 1-5
Here are spots 1-5 of the Top 10 Phoenix Coyotes of All Time:
5. Jeremy Roenick: Yes the article photo is misleading. But my favorite player of all time comes in at number 5. JR came to Phoenix after being traded for Alexei Zhamnov and other assets when the Winnipeg Jets first moved to Phoenix and he was an instant sensation.
His attitude and style of play helped get the Coyotes off the ground in Phoenix and he was the center piece of attention both on the ice and off. He ranks 8th all time in points for the franchise but his impact for the organization during the transition years is what makes him a great Coyote.
4. Keith Tkachuk: He came to Phoenix from Winnipeg and continued his scoring ways. After a 50 goal season in Winnipeg's last year, Tkachuk scored 52 to break his record and lead the team in goals that year. He ranks 2nd all time in goals with 323 and 3rd in points with 623. Tkachuk was a great player in his days with the Coyotes and was eventually traded to St. Louis. He definitely deserves to be on this list in helping the Coyotes get their faces on the NHL map.
3. Thomas Steen: Spots 2 and 3 were the toughest to decide but Steen falls in at number 3 on this list. He ranks 2nd all time in points with 817 points managing to do this even with an injury plagued career. He was a captain for Winnipeg and is one of the few to have his number retired. He is now a scout for the Phoenix Coyotes.
2. Teppo Numminen: At number 2 comes the best defenseman in the history of the Coyotes and Jets. He has played the most games of anyone in a Jet/Coyote uniform with 1098, 15 years. And despite the fact he was on some very bad teams, Numminen's defensive play was absolutely stellar, managing to keep a +42 out of all his years. He is 5th on the all time list with 534 points. His number will certainly be retired once he does.
1. Dale Hawerchuk: As my esteemed colleague Ian Froese guessed in a comment on the last article, Dale Hawerchuk is number 1 on the list. He has the most points and goals all time. He scored 100 or more points in all but two of his seasons with Winnipeg, his best coming in the 1984-1985 season when he had 130 points (53 goals, 77 assists).
He was a captain for Winnipeg and is definitely looked at as the trend setter in the franchise's history. Guys like Peter Mueller, Kyle Turris, Mikkel Boedker, and other young Coyotes should be looking to him as the person they should try to replicate. Although that may change with Shane Doan coming on fast.
It is these 10 guys that make up the best of the best in the history of the Coyotes franchise. They may not all have the tops in points but their impact on the franchise are greater than anyone else who has ever put on the uniform of the Jet or Coyote.

Nuria Stylianou Tuesday 2 June 2015 23:00 BST Click to followH&P The best premium gins 19 show all The best premium gins 1/19 Get the right gas fitter From the delicate mix of botanicals to the bespoke design of the bottle, take a tour through our juniper gallery and decide for yourself... 2/19 Tarquin's Handcrafted Cornish Dry Gin 35.49From the north coast of Cornwall, this small-batch gin has a lightness of touch with flavours of orange blossom and zest, while the addition of Devon violet adds a unique green freshness. Smooth without being sharp and all too easily slips down the throat. amazon.co.uk 3/19 Aviation 32.85In an Art Deco-style bottle, Aviation is made from 100 per cent American rye, giving a neutral flavour to this dry gin from Portland, Oregon. Strong flavours on the nose but smoother and more subtle on the palate, with very little juniper. Perfect for sipping neat over ice. masterofmalt.com 4/19 Bathtub Gin £35Referring to spirits made at home during the American Prohibition, this award-winning gin is distilled in very small batches using a copper pot. Notes of juniper, citrus, cardamom, cinnamon and clove come together to create a beautiful flavour. fortnumandmason.com 5/19 Fifty Pounds 33.15The name takes us back to the 1736 Gin Act, which imposed a £50 licence fee on gin retailers and a retail tax of 20 shillings per gallon, to regulate some of the more dubious spirits being produced. This velvety London dry gin is uncomplicated - a true classic with a hint of sweetness and creamy lemon. thewhiskyexchange.com 6/19 The Botanist £33.83The first and only dry gin from the Scottish island of Islay, this handcrafted spirit features 22 botanicals to delight the palate. Distilled for 17 hours, the end result is a floral and complex gin with refreshing citrus flavours. masterofmalt.com 7/19 St George Spirits Terroir £37.95Alpine fresh with Douglas fir, sage and bay laurel, this is a gin that's perfect to drink like a whisky, curled up by a log fire in a cosy forest cabin - or with tonic for a year-round, refreshing tipple. ocado.com 8/19 Monkey 47 £46Presented in a beautiful apothecary-style bottle with hand-drawn label, this robust dry gin from the Black Forest contains cranberries for a unique twist. Once distilled, the gin is rested for three months and then cut with water from the forest. With a total of 47 different botanicals, the palate is complex with a mix of spice, fruit and herb flavours. harveynichols.com 9/19 Hendrick's £28Launched in 1999, Hendrick's is uniquely made with Bulgarian Rosa Damascena and cucumber. It is light on the juniper and suprisingly light on the cucumber, needing a delicate tonic to complement the floral flavours. Easy to drink and always a welcome label in an overwhelming sea of gins. waitrose.com 10/19 Smooth Ambler Double-Barrel £54.95The clue is in the name with this smooth, barrel-aged gin from West Virginia. Warming with vanilla, buttery and caramel tones, this is perfect served neat over ice. The addition of tonic will ruin the flavour entirely. masterofmalt.com 11/19 Caorunn 26The famous Caorunn asterisk on the bottle is a symbol representing all five of the Scottish botanicals used, including rowan berry, heather, coul blush apple and dandelion. Clean and crisp with fruity, floral notes and best served with a slice of red apple, enjoy it on its own for a sweet and citrus burst, or use it to make a crisp, dry martini. sainsburys.co.uk 12/19 Death's Door 54.99Creamy and rich with hints of vanilla, Death's Door offers all the flavour of a London dry gin, without any of the harshness. At 47 per cent, this higher-strength spirit is heavy on the juniper, coriander and fennel - a combination which gives a clean, refreshing, sweet finish. selfridges.com 13/19 Martin Miller's 24.45Miller's is often served with a slice of grapefruit or fresh strawberry and cracked black pepper but like the Icelandic water it's blended with, it's best simply to let the flavours speak for themselves. The botanicals are distilled in two separate batches - citrus first, followed by the earthier ones. This beautiful, smooth spirit is perfect on its own or with a splash of tonic. thewhiskyexchange.com 14/19 Filliers (5-year-old) Oude Graanjenever £32.95Made from malt wine and juniper spirit, this premium Belgian gin is aged in American oak barrels for five years. A full-flavoured, spicy Genever with notes of cinnamon, coriander and liquorice, it's a definite conversation starter. thewhiskyexchange.com 15/19 Pinkster £32.88This award-winning dry gin is distilled in small batches in Cambridge, using locally grown raspberries to give a soft, summery hue. Smooth in flavour, mix it with a quality tonic and a sprig of fresh mint to bring out the fruity tones. thedrinkshop.com 16/19 Leopold's American small batch 38.84 Leopold's distil each botanical – juniper, coriander, orris root, Valencia oranges and more – separately, rather than together in the same still, to bring the purest flavours and aromas to the blend, for a soft, bright taste. thedrinkshop.com 17/19 Williams Chase GB Extra Dry £31.50A full-bodied and robust spirit with a heavy hit of juniper and citrus on the nose, followed by the spicy warmth of nutmeg, cinnamon and ginger on the palate. Juniper buds and berries are used to distil the driest gin possible, making a great base for a martini or negroni. williamschase.co.uk 18/19 Gin Mare £41.25 A handcrafted Mediterranean gin defined by its four core botanicals - Arbequina olive, thyme, rosemary and basil - sourced from Spain, Greece, Turkey and Italy. Serve with a light and delicate tonic, such as Tonic 1724, and keep the garnish savoury with basil or rosemary. oddbins.com 19/19 Four Pillars £34.95 Distilled in the Yarra Valley, this soft and mellow Australian craft spirit infuses the citrus flavours of lemon and orange with coriander, lavender and angelica. A hint of Tasmanian pepperberry leaf adds warmth rather than heat. Sinful not to use in a negroni, but this one's also great in a Tom Collins. amazon.co.uk Follow us on Twitter @HomesProperty, Facebook and Instagram More about: Gallery Reuse content Comments

Examples of demotic in a Sentence
a more demotic way of speaking
Did You Know?
You may recognize the root of "demotic" from words like "democracy" and "demography." The source of these words is the Greek word dēmos, meaning "people." "Demotic" is often used of everyday forms of language (as opposed to literary or highbrow versions). It entered English in the early 1800s and originally designated a form of ancient Egyptian cursive script which by the 5th century BCE had come into use everywhere in Egypt for business and literary purposes (in contrast to the more complex, hieratic script retained by the clergy). "Demotic" has a newer specialized sense as well, referring to a form of Modern Greek that is based on everyday speech and that since 1976 has been the official language of Greece.
Origin and Etymology of demotic

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Phil Nevin was frustrated after being traded to Texas last summer, and it was evident in his performance.
After some time to think about it during the offseason, Nevin said all spring training that he felt different wearing a Rangers jersey. Now he's already proving that on the field.
Nevin had a three-run homer in the first inning and later chased struggling Tim Wakefield with a two-run single, leading the Rangers over the Boston Red Sox 10-4 Tuesday night.
"Nev's a different guy than last year," manager Buck Showalter said.
"I feel comfortable here. Last year, I wasn't at all," Nevin said. "It was my fault for not handling the trade well."
San Diego traded Nevin to Texas for Chan Ho Park last July, and Nevin hit .182 with only eight RBI in 29 games for the Rangers. In the second game this season, he had five RBI in a game for the first time since August 2004.
"I'm more in the flow of the game," Nevin said. "Last year, it was like pinch-hitting three times."
Winner Vicente Padilla allowed only one run and four hits over six innings in his AL debut. Acquired from Philadelphia in an offseason trade, he struck out five and walked two.
Nevin's homer put the Rangers ahead 4-0 in the first, when the first four batters reached base. Mark Teixeira had an RBI single, and Nevin followed with a drive to left field.
"The first inning, I had big trouble in my location. Everything I tried, every adjustment I made did something different," Wakefield said. "I tried to stop the bleeding as much as I could, then I gave up the three-run homer."
A two-run single by Nevin with two outs in the fourth made it 6-0 and finished off Wakefield, who took the loss. Hank Blalock greeted Lenny DiNardo with an RBI single.
Wakefield allowed seven runs and seven hits with three strikeouts and three walks. After going 16-12 last season when he pitched exclusively as a starter for the first time since 1996, the knuckleballer became only the third Red Sox to pitch in parts of 12 seasons. The others are Roger Clemens and Bob Stanley, who each pitched 13 seasons in Boston.
"Before he could get in a rhythm, he was down four runs," manager Terry Francona said. "He just didn't have command of his pitches."
Brad Wilkerson, the Rangers' new leadoff hitter, was 3-for-5, scored three runs and homered leading off the sixth against DiNardo. Catcher Rod Barajas added a two-run homer in the seventh against David Riske.
Josh Bard had a tough first start for Boston -- three passed balls in the 4 2-3 innings catching Wakefield. That matched the number of passed balls he had in 220 innings as Cleveland's backup last season.
Padilla moved up a day into the No. 2 spot to replace Adam Eaton, out up to three months because of a sprained tendon in the middle finger of his pitching hand.
Eaton had surgery Tuesday in Arizona and the Rangers said after the game that the right-hander could be out four months. He will remain in Arizona for the next six weeks during rehabilitation under the hand specialist that did the surgery.
Manny Ramirez struck out twice against Padilla. The second was on a 94-mph fastball in the sixth inning, and Padilla threw to only one more batter after that.
"He had an explosive fastball tonight," Barajas said. "He was playing with it, taking mph off and add some when he needed them. ... It was real impressive."
New Boston leadoff hitter Coco Crisp had three hits and a stolen base. After his leadoff single in the sixth, he scored on a double by David Ortiz. Those hits sandwiched a spectacular defensive play by All-Star shortstop Michael Young.
Young went deep in the hole toward the third-base line to backhand Mark Loretta's grounder, then threw him out at first on a close play. Boston manager Terry Francona was on the steps of the dugout and looked as if he was going to come out to argue the call, but didn't after seeing the replay on the big screen.
- Young, the reigning AL batting champ, was 0-for-6 this season before a double in the sixth. He was 1-for-13 to end last season, when he hit .331.

David Roberts' Grist post this week raised a critical point on the morality of climate communication. It is worth a read. I liked it, but it is incomplete.
Roberts' article argues that those communicating about climate change have two obligations: "first, to convey the facts about climate change accurately, and second, to insure that their audiences understand and care about those facts." Based on these, Roberts concludes that scientists, journalists and pundits have a moral obligation to convey the gravity of climate change when speaking about extreme weather events such as Sandy.
I agree. However, I would add a third obligation to Robert's list: To clearly and honestly convey to the public what is needed to avoid reliving the devastation brought by Sandy when the next storm hits NYC, New Orleans, or anywhere else.
MORE: It's Been Global Warming, Stupid
As I explain in my recent op-ed in the Daily Climate, the single most important thing that we can do to reduce our vulnerability to extreme weather is invest wisely in infrastructure, planning, and institution-building to make our communities more resilient.
So, yes, we need to be clear that the climate is changing and we are living with a "new normal," which continues to shift every day that we emit more heat-trapping gases into the atmosphere. The challenge is daunting and the response is clear. To solve climate change we need to transition to a low-carbon economy.
However, we need to clearly convey that to avoid future Sandy-esque devastation we must stop allowing heavy development in at-risk coastal areas. This was at the heart of this recent weather calamity, as documented in a recent Huffington Post investigative piece, which states: "Authorities in New York and New Jersey simply allowed heavy development of at-risk coastal areas to continue largely unabated in recent decades, even as the potential for a massive storm surge in the region became increasingly clear."
Andy Revkin on his Dot Earth blog has a good overview on this issue this week. The sad thing is that the Sandy tragedy is not unique. We knew for years about the vulnerability of New Orleans to hurricanes like Katrina—yet, did not respond. And there are others catastrophes in the waiting, such as in Sacramento, California, which may be the nation's most vulnerable urban area to disastrous flooding.
We have a moral obligation to convey to the public the irresponsibility of our leaders who are ignoring the risks that scientists' have characterized so clearly for the world—the risks that we face today as a result of poor urban development patterns and the risks our children will face in the future if we continue emitting global warming pollution.

Flooded roads reopen in El Paso County
Repair work to continue on 12 roads in Ellicott area
EL PASO COUNTY, Colo. - Late Thursday afternoon, El Paso County reopened a dozen roads partially or completely closed by flooding from several days of heavy rain.
However, repairs will continue on some of those roads, said Max Kirschbaum, operations manager for the county's Public Services Department.
"The area is low and flat," he said. "When this rushing water comes through, it does one of two things. It either creates ponds or it damages roadways as it pushes through."
Kirschbaum said such flooding is a typical seasonal occurrence and doesn't compare to record rainfall the area received last fall.
"But we've unofficially had 9 inches in just a few days," he said. "There aren't many culverts out here. The culverts we have are in the right places. Some of them may be undersized. But it's hard to build to the absolute worst-case scenario."
A section of Sanborn Road washed out three times this week, Kirschbaum said.
Kirschbaum said he has 125 workers dedicated to repairing flood damage. Workers use heavy equipment to smooth rough spots and apply recycled asphalt to keep low-lying roads above flood levels.
Workers also made a temporary road around a section of Handle Road that still is under several feet of water near the Grand View Mobile Home Park.
Damage to private property is visible with severe erosion along fence lines and road shoulders.
Randy Rico has lived in the area nearly 20 years. He said Thursday was the first day since the flood that he was able to drive out of his neighborhood.
"I had a 9-mile detour," he said. "This (flood) probably was the worst I can remember out here."
Farther east in the county in the Calhan area, damaged roads stopped mail delivery to 75 people. They can get their mail at the Calhan Post Office.
The county released further details about affected roads:
Repair status from previous storms:
1. Milne, just south of Myers. Complete; reopened.
2. Myers, just west of Squirrel Creek. Complete; reopened.
3. Handle, east of Baggett. Standing water remains 3-4 feet over road west of trailer park; created temporary path through standing water east of the trailer park. Residents can now enter/exit to Calhan Hwy S. Will continue to monitor through the next several days.
4. Myers, east of Lauppe. Shoulder washed out, culvert damaged; barricades in place, remains open to two-way traffic, repair in progress.
5. Sanborn Road east of Ellicott Road complete; reopened.
6. Baggett Road, 1/2 mile north of Sanborn Road. Complete; reopened.
7. Handle Road between Ellicott Road and Baggett Road. Complete; reopened.
8. Truckton Road between Johnson Road and county line. Complete; reopened.
9. Sanborn at the intersection of Baggett. Complete; reopened.
10. Franceville Coal Mine. Complete (temporary repair); reopened.
11. Chipita Park Road, near Ute Pass Elementary School. Complete; reopened.
12. Squirrel Creek Road, south of Myers (historic road portion). Major damage; need to determine a solution.
Some of these may require additional work that does not affect traffic. Also need to catch up on grading work in many locations with minor damage.

This is a very old electric hanging brass chandelier light fixture with canopy in very good condition. Everything is original right down to the wiring, which I'm sure needs to be redone. I have not tested it, so sold as is. Each of the three small lights has a place for a light bulb to screw in, and each one has a black on/off switch that turns. T is an "E" with an arrow going through it on the black square switch. The biggest round brass part measures 14" across, and the canopy measures 6" across. The chain-links are rusty, and the entire fixture needs cleaned. Thanks for looking, and have a great day!Returns accepted within 7 days. Buyer to pay return shipping.

Special K, chocolate milk, chicken, regular milk, granola bars, fruit, and veggies. That is, at least for Aly Raisman, the 18 year old team captain of the United States Olympic Women's Gymnastic Team. Here's a video of her showing you what she eats and why. Not so Paleo.
My question is simple. What would happen – I mean, how much stronger would these athletes be if they ate Paleo? I wonder that when I see my super strong rock climber friends eating a SAD diet. They'd be superheroes if they fueled themselves properly.
We're all given a certain genetic potential, I think, and some athletes certainly achieve a whole lot even when they eat copious amounts of sugar, refined grains, and other foods we'd all be better without. But what if we weren't told, as Aly Raisman was, that pasteurized, conventional chocolate milk has been "proven to be the best recovery food" on the planet ever to have existed? How much better at gymnastics would she be if she ate the foods she was designed to eat? She's a beast. Please don't get me wrong here: I am astonished by her strength, poise, balance, and gall. I'm just wondering how far these athletes could really take their sport.
A study recently came out in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition exploring what would happen if elite gymnasts did actually eat Paleo. Well, in this case it was a very low carb ketogenic diet. The authors stated that "The diet was based on green vegetables, olive oil, fish and meat plus dishes composed of high quality protein and virtually zero carbohydrates.." After 30 days on this diet, which I think is a fair amount of time for them to adapt, they found there were no significant changes in strength. The only difference they found was that the athletes had lost weight in the form of fat. The good news is they did a research study on the efficacy of low carb diets on elite athletes! So many coaches and athletes are still so focused on carbs carbs carbs being the answer, especially refined ones. This is a step in the right direction.
But perhaps this study answers my question. Maybe they wouldn't be any stronger at all if they ate Paleo… But maybe given a longer period of time on the diet, they would excel. Or maybe given just the right macronutrient ratio with Paleo foods, the women would start being just as strong as the men currently are. Maybe we just need to tinker a little more with this idea to make our Olympians into (even bigger) superheroes, after all.
Maybe I need to apply to be the nutritionist for the Olympic gymnastics team in 2016…

Neely I completely agree! My son has been involved in Taekwondo for over two years. He eats primarily paleo foods. He is 5 and is ripped and very strong. The boys can do several free hanging pull ups without practice. He has a class mate who is heavily involved in sports as well but eats a diet of donuts, soda and the like. He looks sickly skinny no muscle definition at all. I've concluded the very apparent difference between the two is most difinitevely the way I nourish my son's growing body. Paleo could revolutionize the Olympics as we know it, I'm sure!
I am so excited about this news and at least a study shows that Low or zero carbohydrate diet (even for 30 days) like the Paleo Diet can lose weight better than a low fat diet.
Maybe we'd all be Olympic gymnasts if we were raised paleo from birth ;)
I am a 26 year old adult gymnast, who has recently adopted a fairly heavily paleo diet. Within three weeks not only did I lost about 8 pounds without trying, but I also started being able to do some skills that I had never done before, because I felt more "springy" and powerful. I am very excited about my new eating habits and I look forward to seeing how many more gymnastics skills I will be able to learn!!
Surprising to hear something like that from such an elite athelete. Imagine being able to see results from her on a Whole30 challenge.
Well, to be honest, chocolate milk has a lot going for it:
whey protein (spikes insulin, super fast digesting)
casein (spikes insulin but unravels protein slowly for hours)
glucose (replenishes glycogen and spikes insulin)
theobromine (mild stimulant and anti-depressant)
Would a sweet potato and meat be "better" somehow? Not really; it would probably make her perform worse, if that were her recovery meal.
Just because slow-digesting, low-glycemic meals are good for the general nonathletic populace doesn't mean the same is true for athletes.
Aly is sponsored by Kellogg's and that's why she's promoting special k. Most of the elite gymnasts are known to be on diets of mostly proteins in the form of chicken and fish and otherwise fruits and vegetables, with minimal other carbs.
Gymnasts need complex carbs paired with a lean protien. They definitely do not need a ridiculous amount of protein as is believed to be king by some diets. Excess protein can cause issues such as kidney stones and protein is not stored- it is either utilized, converted or flushed. Not enough carbs is called starvation. The Atkins diet is essentially starvation. Paleo can be borderline starvation if not done properly. The body needs carbs to function, not a carbo-load worth of carbs…. But you have to remember that ELITE level gymnasts train 30- 40+ hours per week (I was a gymnast and I coach pre-elites, for reference). The carb allowance of low carb diet protocols are just not sutible. Maybe a 26 yr old hobbyist in the sport, average level 10/non-competitive elite who let real life set in and put on excess weight during an off time, or a Junior Olympic level competitor that has too high of body fat percent may see athletic gains by the quick drop in body mass, but for today's elite gymnasts, starvation is not an option. The level of difficulty of the sport is getting so high that lack of proper nutrition will result in rampant bone breaks, stress fractures, or other injuries- killing an already ridiculously short career window. I am not avocating for the consumption of empty carbs as the main intake of carbohydrates, but the sugar content in a glass of chocolate milk will have zero impact on a gymnast's overall performance or gains if they are eating a balanced diet. They are already, pound for pound, the strongest humans on planet earth- selected out of hundreds of worthy elites down to a mere 5 for the Olympic Games- and as the study cited indicates, dietary changes from what they were already practicing made no noticeable difference in performance. Form follows function. They can do what they do because of genetics and training techniques above all else, and even, I may boldly say that in some cases, above devout nutrition practices. When it comes to power and strength, no other type of elite athlete ( and certainly not your crossfit/ paleo superman) can even play with elite gymnasts- they are untouchable. I love paleo and and programs like crossfit for what they have done for society's viewpoint on what a healthy lifestyle means…. But just because it works for you doesn't make it the end-all-be-all….. Follow all of the science behind your lifestyle decisions- not just the research that models your own beliefs.

After more than twenty successful years in business in Aberdeen which has seen us establish nine shops across the City, we were proud to introduce our long anticipated training academy in 2012 - The Barbers Pole Academy.
The Academy and the courses have been designed by director Irene Mair along with consultant Ian Turnbull. Both having run their own salons with in house training in the past and trained many candidates to Level II SVQ standard and Ian also teaching at Aberdeen College for many years.
Drawing on this unparalleled depth and breadth of knowledge and practical experience of barbering and running salons in the North East, all of our courses focus on the practical and hands on elements of barbering. With the courses held in working salons and with low pupil – teacher ratios candidates can be assured of gaining the invaluable skills and experience that they require for this competitive and exciting industry.
To date and without exception all our students have provided the Academy with glowing feedback from - "I have learned more in 10 weeks (30 hours) with yourselves than I have done in two years at college" to "The patience and guidance shown from my trainer was beyond my expectations" Our in salon training sessions prompted one employer to say that the refresher training provided by the academy was "exactly what was required to hone the barbering skills of my already experienced stylists with the trainer focusing on the particular needs of each and every individual".
This year we will be offering our three main courses again whilst promoting our bespoke packages for in salon training sessions.
Diploma Courses include:
• Bespoke In-House Courses
• Introduction to Barbering (no experience required)
• Complete Barbering Course (covering and exceeding SVQ level II)
• Refresher Course
We will be running daytime classes as well as evening classes!

The BEA respondsBy
The BEA has published an FAQ (Frequently Asked Question) in response to my story. The fair summary of their response is that they do not dispute the problem, but they think it doesn't make a big difference:
analysts at BEA—who are continuously updating the official estimates to reflect the impact of globalization—do not think that there is a significant bias on measured GDP or productivity growth.
As I wrote in the story, I think there is a substantial bias in the 2004 to 2006 period of rapid offshoring, though the exact magnitude is unknown because the data is not available.
I will go through the different parts of their argument, and explain where I differ. First, the BEA agrees with my story in principle:
import price indexes are designed to measure the change over time in the prices paid by U.S. residents for imported goods and services; they do not directly compare the prices of imported goods (and services) to their counterparts produced in the United States.
The implication is, as I stated in the paper, that the import price statistics don't pick up the big cost cuts that are driving globalization.
Then the BEA gives three reasons why they don't think this is significant.
That is, if real imports are understated because shifts to foreign suppliers are not being adequately captured in the price data, it is also likely that domestic production is understated because of shifts to more efficient domestic suppliers.
True—but the shift to foreign suppliers has greatly accelerated in this period because of the rise of China and globalization in general. By contrast, there's no reason to expect that the unmeasured shift to more efficient domestic suppliers has taken a similar jump.
BEA uses chain-type measures that are designed to account for much of this substitution.
Agreed, and I figured that into my calculation.
Any remaining measurement errors should be offsetting because researchers have not demonstrated that errors in measuring imports are larger than offsetting errors in measuring domestic production.
This is the one that really makes me scratch my head. As far as I know, researchers haven't even asked this question. How do they know the errors are offsetting, especially in this period of rapid globalization? I would love to see some more research—but the anecdotal evidence that I presented in the story suggests big errors in measuring import prices in particular industries.
