Identify & Fix an Italian ceramic disk sink faucet
I have a leaking Italian sink hot-water faucet (separate taps and spout). Ceramic disk, about 10 mm diameter, with quarter sectors alternately cut out or solid.
Has a "Made in Italy" sticker, but I cannot find any other identifying markings. Faucet design is an old-fashioned, "classic" looking 4-square-handle with rounded ends on the taps, gently curved spout, mounted on the sink itself. Seems to be nickel plated.
Only one of my four taps (dual sinks) is leaking (so far!). Faucets are at least 5 years old, but I'd guess they're more like 10 or 15 years old. Based on the (good) condition of their brass, I suspect that they are not older than that.
Suggestions on where on the faucet to look for the manufacturer, and how to find replacement parts?
Where are you located?

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Hello,Customer You have a very good question. There are different reimbursement plans a company can use to determine how an employee's reimbursement is treated when it comes to taxes.
An accountable plan is one in which, reimbursement is not subject to federal taxes.
These are the three requirements for an accountable plan:
If these three requirements are not met, the plan is considered to be a nonaccountable plan, in which the reimbursement is subject to federal taxes (including social security and medicare taxes).

This is my book blog, where I review books I read as part of Cannonball Read 9, where participants compete to be the first to reach 52. We also try to get people excited about books and reading, and make money for cancer charities. In 2016 my cousin died of lung cancer. Early this year, my godfather also passed away and I have another cousin battling breast cancer now. I am going to try to complete at least 104 reviews (a double Cannonball) and other reading challenges besides. Wish me luck!

86. "Everything I Know about Love I Learned from Romance Novels" by Sarah Wendell
Page count: 240 pages
Date begun: October 27th, 2011
Date finished: October 30th, 2011
Sarah Wendell, also popularly known on the internet as Smart Bitch Sarah, is the co-founder of the romance blogsite Smart Bitches, Trashy Books, which is one of several websites I discovered a few years ago, which helped me rediscover my love of romance as a genre. Readers of my book blog will know that I read a LOT of it, and Sarah Wendell, in this book, as well as in her previous novel, Beyond Heaving Bosoms: The Smart Bitches' Guide to Romance Novels, explains why it's such a hugely popular genre with women (and men) around the world.
Through interviews with a number of romance novelists, as well as countless readers, in the US and elsewhere, Wendell looks at why romance is such a widely selling genre, and why readers keep coming back to romance, even when it's one of the most maligned genres out there. She points out that most of the readers are not frustrated housewives or single, crazy cat-ladies, and that romance novels, rather than giving you a skewered view of real life romance and relationships, might actually better prepare you better for marriage and partnership than one might think. Women who read romance don't want to be abducted by a kilt-wearing Duke with a mullet, glistening chest and a kilt, but they enjoy reading about him, and when reading romance novels, they get an idea of what works for them in relationships, and what absolutely doesn't. Seeing the heroine keep making stupid relationship mistakes and wanting to reach into the book to slap her, might make one less inclined to make the same mistake.
EIKAL is a very well researched and wittily written book which should be read by anyone who enjoys the romance genre, and even more importantly, by those who are dismissive of it, and its readers, so they can discover that romance is not any trashier than most fantasy, sci-fi, suspense or crime novels out there.

Gold Processing and What Gold Mines Produce
Once the ore has been extracted, further processing is needed to separate the gold, and any other high-value minerals, from the rock itself. There are a number of methods to do this – such as milling and smelting – and the method used will depend on the grade and type of ore involved.
After the processing stage, any metal recovered will be formed into unrefined bars known as "doré". These unrefined bars will not only contain gold, but other metals – such as silver or copper – which have been extracted. And the proportions of each metal can vary between bars, although gold will generally account for 60-90% of the bar. These will then be sent to a refinery to separate each pure metal.

Each passing day witnesses evidence of the growing drift between the American government and that of Pakistan. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta while in India regalled an audience with joking comments concerning the bin Laden raid. "They(Pakistan government) didn't know about our operation. That was the whole idea." Panetta was absolutely right in not telling the Pakistan government about the raid but he was absolutely wrong in telling an enemy of Pakistan how he tricked them. It was hardly a diplomatic comment for somone on a diplomatic mission.
The road from Pakistan to Afghanistan is closed. Pakistan wants an apology for the misunderstanding that resulted in the death of 24 of its soldiers. Given Republican desire to embarrass President Obama for expressing any form of apology as un becoming a leader of the perfect American nation, there will not be any apology.
Isn't it time for grownups to cease childish behavior?

Lets move on now and talk MMA. Please. It more fun.
Printable View
Do you think the reason they don't like you might be something to do with the fact that you ripped them off for over £1600. They liked you before you stole from them.
"They don't want your help" LOL even more. How are you in a position to help them??????????????
Angrrr Managment are a well established promotion regularly featuring international fighters and have helped many UK based fighters move on to bigger things. They also own and rent out (yes that was rent not give for free) the best cage in England if not Europe to all of the top events in the UK and are a well respected group of guys who have worked very hard to put UK MMA on the map. Now can you please explain how you bunch of faggots could possibly help them apart from paying your debt??????????
Oh thats right after ripping them off you offered a poor quality filming service of their events to try to work off your debt. It's like stealing a wallet and leaving a turd in its place and thinking that is OK.
In the process you were also trying to steal work from Boom Boom productions who are also good friends of mine. Do you never stop trying to rob respected members of UK MMA.
You really are a bunch of jokers who deserve the contempt you are treated with.
There are not enough LOLs to describe you.
Oh and as far as loving the sport goes you should take a reality check. Why would you attempt to destroy something that you love. NOT PAYING DEBTS IS DETREMENTAL AND VERY POSSIBLY A TOOL TO DESTROY OTHER BUSINESSES WHO ARE INVOLVED IN MMA.
You are liars and theives and should be treated as such.
Paul Reed might be fighting on the show. Ranked 10th in the Euro ranking.

Plant Your Name w/ Seeds | a KIDDO project!Pin It
This is a super easy project that is fun for kids to plant and watch grow. I was going to wait for the "after" photos to post this, but I don't think there are going to be any. Sadly for us, we will not be watching our letters grow because my darling kiddos found the pots and wanted to make more letters, so I'm pretty sure the seeds will not be sprouting where they were planted. Ah well...perhaps your projects will turn out a little better. ...perhaps I'll try again while the kids aren't watching...
Anyway, you put a bunch of soil in a pot. If you are new to this whole gardening thing, you might want to get a cheap bag of potting soil from the store so you know it is sterile. If you are a veteran gardener, you know what weeds will pop up from your garden soil and you can just use garden variety soil.
easy to grow seed in the furrows. We used rosemary and chives (in different pots).

Museum Staff
Eden was born in South Korea and moved to Los Angeles when she was 7 years old. On her high school senior trip to Great Britain, she discovered her love for history and historical sites. She received her BA in history from CSU, Fullerton. Wanting to explore and learn about her culture, she went to South Korea and studied a year of Korean history. Currently, she is attending CSU, Los Angeles for her multiple subjects teaching credential. Eden might've been born 2 centuries too late. She is an old soul who loves the western era from cowboys, ranch life, western movies, country life and music, and everything in between. With the advanced technology of the 21st century, Eden is secretly hoping for the invention of a time machine to go back to the 1800's! In the meantime, she really enjoys hiking, rafting, snowboarding, traveling, exploring national parks and all outdoor adventures.
Jennifer was born and raised in East Whittier and resides near the Museum with her 3 handsome boys and husband of 12 years. Jennifer says the most rewarding time of her life was being a stay-at-home mom to raise her sons through their early years. Jennifer rejoined the workforce and became the Visitor Services Coordinator at the Museum in 2012. "This job works out perfectly for me and my family" says Jennifer. Working just minutes away from my home, Jennifer is able to be a dedicated baseball mom for her all-star players Rudy and Nathan! In her free time Jennifer enjoys attending church, sporting events (go Angels!), camping, fishing, and the beach.

There really is only one person who can be called "America's theologian," Jonathan Edwards. The problems are many: his writings are incredibly dense, they are demanding intellectually, they are infused with a life of thinking so they are intense, and they are expensive to buy in the Yale edition. Hence, most of us buy older editions, in paperback, and enjoy him nonetheless.
And frankly many don't have the time to read Edwards directly and so rely on others to tell them and form their ideas of Edwards and his theology. One can't go wrong reading George Marsden's magnificent biography, Jonathan Edwards: A Life, which I read almost a decade back. But where next?
Well, I'd like to suggest a place: with Michael J. McClymond and Gerald R. McDermott's monumental achievement, The Theology of Jonathan Edwards (Oxford, 2011). Almost 800 pages, 45 chapters — that's long but the prose is splendidly clear, their passions for Edwards are obvious, and they see Edwards from a life time of teaching and writing on Edwards. What we have here is Edwards for all of us by the best of us!
I can't possible review the whole thing, nor would I be the person to do that since I'm not skilled in reading enough of Edwards firsthand. But a sketch of what McClymond and McDermott (gotta love those "Mc's") do for Edwards in their Introduction is an indicator of how they approach Edwards with a wide-angle lens that sees the whole. They see five major themes, like five sections of an orchestra (an analogy they use to good effect), that have separable sounds but which must be seen as harmonious in order to see the contribution each makes to the symphony who is Jonathan Edwards. Here are the five constituent elements of Edwards' theology:
1. Trinitarian communication, as found especially in these works: Discourse on the Trinity and the End of Creation.
2. Creaturely participation: End of Creation, Treatise on Grace.
3. Necessitarian dispositionalism: Religious Affections, Freedom of the Will, and Original Sin.
4. Theocentric Voluntarism: Original Sin, Miscellanies
5. Harmonious Constitutionalism: Justification by Faith Alone, and the Miscellanies

If it's too dark to see the silhouetted shape of your pistol, it's also too dark to make sure that you're not shooting at your wife or daughter. That's when you need a flashlight, and some understanding of a safe flashlight technique.
If you can identify your, um, target, then you can use the silhouetted shape of your pistol to make accurate length-of-hallway hits on an enemy. All it takes is practice, shooting in low-light conditions. You may be surprised at how accurate so-called "slide shooting" can be—with practice.

Turns out reports that Swine Flu is a combination of pig, human and avian influenza strains may be inaccurate. Frome Wired.com - "The deadly H1N1 influenza virus that's fueling fears of a global pandemic is a hybrid of two common pig flu strains, scientists who have studied the disease told Wired.com Tuesday. Earlier reports called it a combination of pig, human and avian influenza strains. The findings may resolve some uncertainty about the nature of the virus, but much is still unknown about its origins and effects."
Turns out a few days later that the NY Times interviewed a researcher who debunks this story. Here's an excerpt: It is essentially a blend of Eurasian swine flu and North American swine flu, but Western hemisphere strains have had an avian segment on the PB2 gene for at least 10 years and a human component on the PB1 gene since 1993, said Henry L. Niman, a biochemist who tracks flu mutations. "The original report is correct," Dr. Niman said of the C.D.C.'s analysis. The rumors, he added in an e-mail message, stem from "someone who really doesn't know how to analyze sequences (or is being misquoted.)"

Russia and India sign weapons deals
Russia and India signed weapons deals worth billions of dollars today as president Vladimir Putin sought to further boost ties with an old ally.
Mr Putin and Indian prime minister Manmohan Singh hailed co-operation between their countries as officials signed a 1.6 billion US dollar deal for 42 Sukhoi Su-30 fighter jets that will be license-built in India from Russian components and a 1.3 billion dollar contract for the delivery of 71 Mil Mi-17 military helicopters.
"We agreed to further strengthen the traditions of close co-operation in the military and technical areas," Mr Putin said after the signing in New Delhi.
Mr Singh said the talks included discussions on the security situation in the region, including Afghanistan.
"India and Russia share the objective of a stable, united, democratic and prosperous Afghanistan, free from extremism," Mr Singh told reporters after the talks.
Russia and India have shared close ties since the Cold War, when Moscow was a key ally and the principal arms supplier to New Delhi.
The ties slackened after the collapse of the Soviet Union, but grew stronger again after Mr Putin came to power in 2000, seeking to revive Moscow's global clout and restore ties with old allies.
While the volume of Russian-Indian trade has risen sixfold since 2000 and is expected to reach 10 billion dollars this year, the growth has slowed in recent years. And even though India remains the number one customer for Russia's arms industries, Moscow has recently lost several multibillion-dollar contracts to Western weapons makers.
Russia has maintained its strong positions in the Indian market with 30 billion dollars worth of arms contracts with India signed in 2000-2010 that envisaged supplies of hundreds of fighter jets, missiles, tanks and other weapons, a large part of which were license-produced in India. The countries have co-operated on building an advanced fighter plane and a new transport aircraft, and have jointly developed a supersonic cruise missile for the Indian navy.
But the military co-operation has hit snags in recent years, as New Delhi shops increasingly for Western weapons. The Indians have also not always been happy with the quality of Russian weapons and their rising prices.
In one notable example, in 2004 Russia signed a one billion dollar contract to refurbish a Soviet-built aircraft carrier for the Indian navy. While the deal called for the ship to be commissioned in 2008, it is still in a Russian shipyard and the contract price has reportedly soared to 2.3 billion dollars. The target date for the carrier's completion was moved back again this year after it suffered major engine problems in sea trials. Russian officials now promise to hand it over to India at the end of 2013.
India has also demanded that Russia pay fines for failing to meet terms under a 2006 contract for building three frigates for its navy, the third of which is yet to be commissioned.
Russia has recently suffered major defeats in competition with Western rivals in the Indian arms market.
Last year, Russia lost a tender to supply the Indian air force with 126 new fighter jets worth nearly 11 billion dollars to France's Dassault Rafale. And last month, Boeing won India's order for a batch of heavy-lift helicopters worth 1.4 billion dollars.
Russia has sought to downplay recent defeats for its arms traders, saying that other weapons deals with India are under preparation.
As part of its co-operation with India, Russia has also built the first reactor at the Kudankulam nuclear power plant and is building a second unit there. The project has been delayed by protests by anti-nuclear groups and local residents.
The head of the Russian nuclear corporation Rosatom, Sergei Kiriyenko, told reporters that the reactors in Kudankulam are the safest in the world, adding that studies have shown that they would have withstood a disaster such as an earthquake and tsunami that caused multiple meltdowns and radiation leaks at the Fukushima nuclear plant in Japan last year. Mr Kiriyenko said Rosatom plans to build more reactors in India.
Mr Putin's visit was scheduled for late October, but was delayed as the Russian leader suspended foreign travel for about two months. The Kremlin acknowledged that he was suffering from a muscle pulled during judo training. Mr Putin resumed active travel earlier this month, making several foreign trips.

The only thing I hate about reviewing games is giving a game I really wanted to enjoy a bad score. Sniper Ghost Warrior is just one of these examples. It has some good ideas, but mosty of them fail.
The campaign is pretty much the only thing you should want to even watch a you tube video about. It lets you play as a guy called Tyler who is a highly trained sniper. Throughout the game you will sneak through ruins, jungles, boathouses and even a lighthouse, the areas you are in are pretty well designed. Cover is strategically layed out giving players who take time and plan a good advantage, some stages in the game give you rewards for being stealth. For example at one point in the game, you need to get to a village, you can sneak into a small outpost which you have to go through anyway, if you remain undetected you can sneak a ride in a convoy truck, if you get detected you have to deal with your enemies then crawl through more bushes and trees to get to the village, it really encourages stealth. However the stealth system has not been created well, a lot of the time you will be hiding in a bush then suddenly guns start blazing and before you knwo it, your dead, I also think the studio have also been a bit lazy, when you train you have to hide from a bunch of cadets, for fun I emerged from a bush and ran up to one of them, the just walked into me and brushed me aside, so obviously the studio havn't thought players might do something like that and just havn't done anything about it. It's lazy and really not a fun game to play through. Bullet drop and wind works well. When you fire a bullet it slowly drops, so if you are sniping someone from a kilometre away, you have to aim above their head because of bullet drop, then there's wind. When you fire a bullet the wind pushes it away, so taking both of these into account takes practice and skill.
Multiplayer stinks. It's lagy, to easy to spawnkill, no balance skillwise and poorly designed, the maps are bland and most players see through your disguise as you hide in a bush, the spawn points are fixed. So spawn killing is worse than ever. An epic fail and not worth your time.
Sniper Elite stinks, it's not worth your time, I'm shocked that a second ones coming out soon. I hope this one actually works.

Re: [existlist] Re: The circularity of consciousness
Expand Messages
- Jim,
My reaction was that all of this seemed obvious. Rather than what seemed Sartre's expression that the consiousness of thinking about thinking was somehow significantly new to general knowledge. We do it all the time ... as my thinking about my thoughts on the Lac-Megantic train wreck which occurred last Saturday in Quebec.

Subject: [existlist] Re: The circularity of consciousness
I think there are important things about Sartre's account of consciousness. First, as Mary says, consciousness is always consciousness of something (what McCulloch calls the intentional object of the conscious act). Second, Sartre's distinction between thetic consciousness and non-thetic consciousness.
Sartre says that for every thetic or explicit act of consciousness there is an implicit or non-thetic awareness of the thetic conscious act.
Consider the common phenomenon where I can be conscious of the road as I drive my car around familiar locations whilst focusing on how to respond to the latest Existlist post. I can drive `on autopilot' and not recall afterwards features of the landscape or other traffic. However my non-thetic consciousness was all along aware of my first-order conscious experience, such that if a small child ventured into the road I would notice straightaway and put in a strategy for avoiding running the child down.
My first-order thetic conscious experience was being monitored by my non-thetic awareness of this experience.
Sartre would also say that I could consciously focus my attention on my first-order experience of the road – then I would have a second-order thetic conscious experience whose intentional object was my first-order thetic experience of the road. The sort of thing a nervous new deriver might have on their driving test. But this case is different from the first case where an experienced driver drives along familiar roads thinking about Existlist posts.
Sartre argues (I think) that this thetic vs. non-thetic distinction helps us avoid the "infinite regress" of a second order thetic conscious act to monitor a first order conscious act, and then the need for a third-order thetic conscious act to monitor the second-order conscious act, etc.
So some of us may be able to generate third-order and fourth-order conscious acts, but whether we can or not, this ability is nothing that causes Sartre's account any particular trouble.

My Ride: 2001 318i & 325i
View My Garage
I have just purchased a 2001 E46 318i that must have been parked in the street for many years as after washing it carefully and trying to polish, the surface was still very rough.
Having searched for this thread, and finding it now stretches to 163 pages, I copied and read carefully posts 4, 5 and 6 from George of Detailed Images.
Now I have been working around motorbikes and cars for over 50 years and have never used clay before, but George's post convinced me to give it a try.
Here in Australia, many of the brands mentioned are not available, and after 7 years since the thread started, I am sure recommendations have changed, but who is going to read 163 pages to find the latest?
I purchased a pack of Mother's California Gold Clay Bar from my local Auto Store and set to work. For a few seconds you could feel the clay working and then it just glided over the surface. Even my 7-year-old grandson was amazed at the feel of the areas done compared to those yet to do.
Where has this stuff been? I was always scared to use such a product fearing it would scratch and damage the duco.
I am amazed and recommend those that have not tried it to do so.
I have still to polish the car but already it is looking magnificent.

Is my scarring normal? im really concerned after breast lift?? please help??
- xlawriex
- Last updated: 4 years ago
I flew from the UK to istanbul 7 days ago for breast uplift surgery. It was half the cost of surgery in the UK, and as im doing my teacher training i have no secure income so had to go with the best priced option. I found a reptable company who arranged every bit of the medical break. They sent me my surgeons CV and i researched him looking at various reviews. I am now back in the UK and worried sick about the bottom scar/stiching that is left. It seems extremley creased and un-even. Ive looked at loads of pictures from others having the same surgey and they don't have simular scarring. I understand its very early on but some advise would be great. I used to wear a 34e, but had hardly any firmness or fullness in my breasts since having my son and rapidly losing the baby weight. The doctor advised me against an implant he said i didnt need one for what i wanted to achieve. Im now gutted i didnt have one as my breasts seem so small :( can someone please let me know if they have suffered the same issues. Many thanks :)

Some Paducah Water customers were exposed to contaminated water earlier this year.
Paducah Water found the chemical compound of total trihalomethanes, or TTHM, was above the maximum contamination level on Jan. 2. Although Paducah Water General Manager Glen Anderson said the levels were reduced within one week, the department sent letters just this week notifying all metered customers of the drinking water standard violation.
TTHM is a compound of three or four organic chemicals and often forms when disinfectants react with organic matter in water. It can be a byproduct of chlorine when it is used to disinfect water.
The maximum contaminant level for TTHM set by the Environmental Protection Agency is 0.080 milligrams per liter. Paducah Water has eight test sites throughout its water system, and in January, the test site at the southeastern McCracken County area tested TTHM at 0.081 milligrams per liter, or about one part per billion over the maximum level allowed.
Anderson compared the level of contamination to putting "one drop from an eyedropper in an Olympic-size swimming pool." Regardless, the Kentucky Division of Water requires that all customers be notified of a contamination within 30 days after the division sends a notice of violation. Paducah Water received the notice on May 22.
"We knew that the running average (of TTHM) at that one site was higher than the limit," Anderson said. "We did not know when we were going to get a violation for it."
The Kentucky Division of Water did not return phone calls seeking an answer to why Paducah Water was notified of the violation more than four months after the contamination levels tested above the EPA standard.
More than 26,000 letters were sent out on Monday, which cost the department about $7,000 in postage alone, Anderson said. He said the department wanted to notify customers along with their next water bills to save money, but the timeframe would not comply with the 30-day notification period set by the Kentucky Division of Water.
The notice customers received said there is nothing customers need to do. However, it stated that infants, those who have health issues, women who are pregnant, or elderly individuals may be at risk and should contact health providers. It stated people who drink high levels of trihalomethanes over the EPA limit may be at risk of several health issues, including increased risk of cancer. Anderson said the notice included required federal language.
"It's not a health crisis by any means," Anderson said, "but it is something we're required to do under federal regulations."
Recently, TTHM levels at Paducah Water test sites have tested as low at 0.059 milligrams per liter, Anderson said.
Finding the right combination of disinfectants to kill bacteria and viruses in water is tricky when the disinfectants can react with organics in the water that then produce byproducts such as trihalomethanes. He said many Kentucky utilities have recently had issues with TTHM, which in some cases may be due to limited funds to improve or maintain distribution systems.
"It's difficult but it can be managed," Anderson said.

How to Stop a Cough Fast
A cough is usually an indication that there is something wrong with your body. A cough is an action your body takes to get rid of substances that are irritating to your air passages. It is commonly caused due to blocking of trachea. There are 2 categories of cough: acute and chronic. An acute cough generally lasts for less than 3 weeks. Chronic coughs, on the other hand, can go on for more than 3 weeks.
Symptoms of Cough and How to Stop a Cough
Cough is classified into two types by medical experts: acute and chronic. Signs and symptoms are some what self explanatory. However, it can also vary depending on the type of cough you have.
Acute cough is a cough that lasts for about two to three weeks. There are two types of acute cough: infectious and noninfectious causes. If your cough is due to an infection, you may experience:
- Fever
- body aches
- Chills
- vomiting
- sore throat
- nausea
- runny nose
- headache
- sinus pressure
- postnasal drip
- night sweats
As for noninfectious coughing, you may feel like coughing as if exposed to certain chemicals or irritants in your surrounding. Your coughs may also get worse when you go to places that have irritants or perform some activities. For relief, most experts recommend their patients to use inhalers or medications for allergies as a way on how to stop a cough.
On the other hand, chronic cough symptoms are a bit harder to determine. Many chronic cough causes have overlapping symptoms and signs. If you feel like your cough is leaning towards outside of the ordinary, you might want to consult a physician for cures on how to stop a cough.

Mr. cockerell liked it so little that Fanny would not send me his opinion.
To the cockerell bibliography have been added a few notes of my own.
cockerell concluded that the excavation was probably made in the days of Minos as a storehouse for corn and valuables.
I have, however, kept to cockerell's names to avoid confusion.
The central portion is not worked with palmettes, as shown by cockerell.
cockerell was at length ordered forward and the attack began.

Actress Briony McRoberts has died after being hit by a Tube train near her home in London.
McRoberts, the wife of Downton Abbey actor David Robb, appeared in Scottish drama Take The High Road for nine years and also starred in Taggart, EastEnders, Heartbeat and The Bill.
Her body was found at Fulham Broadway station on Wednesday morning just after 8.30am.
Her agent Katie Threlfall said the "well-loved" and "vibrant" actress had taken her own life, describing the death as "unbelievably shocking".
She said: "It's just a terrible, terrible loss of a wonderful woman. Nobody had any idea it was going to happen. Her husband is deeply shocked.
"She was a wonderful woman who had troubles and she will be very much missed. She was so well-loved and was the most vibrant character you could hope to meet. It is just a tragedy."
Fellow actors have paid tribute to McRoberts, 56, whose television career included appearances in The Proferssionals.
Andy Cameron wrote on Twitter: "Sad sad news about the death of Briony McRoberts. I shared a thousand laughs with her on High Road. My thoughts are with David. RIP Briony."

SFL Saturday -- Bench and Bar Edition
Anyways so I roll up to the Diplomat Hotel yesterday morning looking, as 'trane noted, resplendent in my Van Dyke and feeling good about our profession after the tremendous showing of support for Ben on Thursday.
As I entered the Convention Area I spied a fit, older gentleman ordering a double at the hotel bar. It was none other than Judge Fay! "Come on over, SFL, I hate to drink alone!"
"Why yes, Your Honor, but isn't it a little early to be having a drink?"
"Son, you ever see The Verdict?"
"I have, Your Honor, one of my favorite films."
"Mine too. Sidney Lumet was the best. It's about corruption, how greed and avarice at the highest levels distort our ideals, bury us beneath our highest aspirations, and force us to slowly submit, to be comfortable with our small failures, to deceive ourselves day by day until there's nothing left of our souls."
"Um, yeah."
"The point is, son, to fight back. Rail against the injustices, don't be a patsy, expose the forces of corruption and fight for what's right dammit!"
With that the Judge cracked two raw eggs into his glass of whiskey, downed it immediately, and ordered another. "Now that's what I call breakfast."
So me and the Judge spent the next few hours compiling a list of our outrages, things that really bothered us. Why the hail DID Senator Clinton spend 11 days in Las Vegas giving one speech to a union? Why don't these Congresspeople work more? How comes federal judges keep getting their cost of living raises denied? What is it with these "fat cat" union bosses that won't allow secret ballots and that are tanking the auto industry? Did I mention the damn unions?
How about lobbyists -- I hate those jerks.
And so it went. Well, before you know it, it was nearly lunchtime.
"Darn it SFL, why didn't you remind me! I gotta give a speech for chrissakes! Hand me that pad, I'm going to tell everybody exactly what's on our minds! No holding back this time, SFL!"
"Judge, are you sure..." But before I could finish my sentence, the judge had jumped off his stool, grabbed the notepad and was gone.
I don't want to take all the credit, but that was one hail of a speech.

It wasn't that judicious. Sounded more like Newt Gingrich drinking with Rush Limbaugh, complaining about the unfairness of anything not Republican.ReplyDelete

Dude, we are talking about Jean Claude Van Dike? The one from the action movies. Wow, he is my favorite. While I was in Buenos Aires I have seen all his movies, the man is a real genius. I have a friend who has some furnished apartments buenos aires and he is also the owner of the fans club of Jean Claude in Argentina.ReplyDelete

Super Bowl 2014: NJ v. NYC?
Forget the teams playing in the 2014 Super Bowl, the biggest match-up may be between New Jersey and New York City.
On the same day that Governor Chris Christie announced venues for events in the Garden State leading up to football's biggest day, Mayor Michael Bloomberg held a press conference to say the Big Apple will have its share of events.
Next year's Super Bowl will be hosted at MetLife Stadium, an outdoor stadium in the cold-weather locale of East Rutherford.
Christie said the 2014 Media Day, which kicks off Super Bowl week, will be held at Newark's Prudential Center. Additionally, football fans will be grilling up at the NFL's tailgate party to be held at the Meadowlands Racetrack grandstand.
"Hosting the big game on February 2 and its many celebratory lead-up events during Super Bowl Week is a major win for the state, its tourism and economic developments," Christie said.
Across the river, Bloomberg and NFL Commissioner previewed a week of events in the city, including closing off part of Broadway for a football fan festival. The game's media center and televised NFL Honors awards show will also be held in New York City.
"All these activities are going to show our city's best face to people from around the world, and encourage them to make return visits," Bloomberg said. "They're also going to be part of a week of events that will generate a multi-million dollar impact on our city's economy."
What do you think? Which area will reign supreme when it comes to the run up to the big game: NJ or NYC? Let us know in the comments section below.

2) It's not that much lighter than the NM; so felt recoil is about the same.
3) Dislikes - the rails on the side would destroy your hands if you don't add covers or a front Surefire.
4) Accuracy - I would say it's about an MOA; but most certainly not a sub-MOA weapon.
5) Longest distance - I would have no problems counting on it against human targets out to about 400 meters; which is less than half of the longest distance I would count on my M1A NM for.
6) Top rail - I put an EOTech 553 on it; which is 65 MOA.

Re: manic or depressive?
This is an optical illusion I made years ago. I added on the carrot to sort of lighten it up a bit. Before I added the carrot, I found about 70% of people I showed it to saw the face, 30% saw the bunny.
Please post which you see first. I'm curious to see the impact of the carrot.

When the leaks began dripping out about Assassin's Creed 3 I'm not sure many people had been anticipating the series crossing the Atlantic Ocean.
I had been typically Eurocentric in my thinking – maybe the developers might fancy a trip to Spain, what with its rich and tumultuous history, and stocked with fine cities, many replete with the requisite Gothic architecture? Perhaps France, with its warm climate, abundant vineyards and Parisian grace? Or how about Holland, what with those narrow house-lined canals and lax drug laws?
There were even leftfield shouts for London – these dismissed as too familiar for such an exotic and far-reaching series – but America? In the 1700s? The series has really taken a leap here. Let's hope it lands in a handily placed haystack, preferably free of needles.
Perhaps this change is for the best – the Assassin's Creed 2 'Ezio' trilogy, although similarly fantastic to play and lovely to look at, were mere continuations with minor tweaks after all, and not always received positively. The den defence from Revelations being one particular bugbear, with even the lead developers publicly expressed their doubts about the frequency with which Ubisoft were requesting Assassin's games.
No-one wants games to feel factory-cut – we like the idea that they are carefully crafted by many able hands. Here, with a fresh numerical start and a new land to explore, the programmers will be able to make significant developments rather than incremental changes, and hopefully for the better.
So what do we know? The first thing I noticed was the inclusion of the Tomahawk. This legendary hand axe is the favoured weapon of the Native Indians, so leaving me hoping for a three-sided tussle, which hopefully doesn't fit the straight 'American is good, British are bad' stereotype.
It looks like opportunities for climbing architecture will be rarer, offering instead the abilities to traverse icy cliff tops and snow-covered branches. Well, not that they will always be snow-covered – we're promised a dynamic weather system with changing terrain, as well as timeline-dependent scenery.
Imagine a world in which certain locations will one week be occupied with armies massed and ready for battle – only to revisit the same place weeks later, the site strewn with bodies and tattered tents. There's also an emphasis on a large countryside area, which brings with it the eternal worry – the mounted assassin.
Compared to the superlative equestrianism of Red Dead Redemption, the horseback options of earlier Assassin's Creed games were simplistic and awkward. It was more like graceless trotting – a crime to later befall Skyrim – and in both games I'd rather run at a slower pace on foot, than suffer the stuttering stallions. Let's hope for some kind of solution to this quandary.
Out go the old European masters like Da Vinci, and in come the Founding Fathers, promising luminaries such as Benjamin Franklin and George Washington to shoot the breeze with, as well as presumably perform missions for. Locations meanwhile are rumoured to include Boston and pre-skyscraper, post-New Amsterdam, New York City.
The money system is supposed to be reformed from the floorboards up too, the old property buying perhaps making way for a more hunter-gatherer-type system. Imagine trading in the pelts of animals you've slaughtered in the forest after firing of bow and arrow and usage of the odd bear trap or two.
Graphics should receive a significant upgrade too, the released teaser video revealing beautifully realised wintry mountainsides, while character models promise more detail and fluidity. In fact, impressively, Ubisoft are said to have resisted the simple porting the old movements in favour of going the extra mile and capturing thousands of movements from scratch.
Assassins Creed 3 will hit the top of the bestsellers list whatever the end product; the brand's hype ensures that. I for one am glad of the full stride forward rather than a mere sideways step which the change in timeline and location promises – while the running from tree-to-tree in pursuit of our prey evokes pleasing symmetries with Predator – surely no bad thing.
By moving the action to America and the protagonist closer to the floor than ever before Ubisoft seem to be taking the type of risks that might just pay of. Consider my interest piqued in a way I thought an Assassin's Creed game might never manage again.

Through training women and providing them the funds to start businesses, Women's Global has empowered women and provided them with a way to earn money for their family. It is amazing to see the confidence these women develop as their businesses grow. Gulu needs Women's Global!

Review for Women Global Empowerment Fund, Denver, CO, USA
Women's Global Empowerment Fund (WGEF) continues to grow and change the lives of women in Northern Uganda. 2011 has been a big year for WGEF. They expanded their loan program to include agricultural loans, a critical tool in addressing the rising food prices worldwide. Additionally in 2011, lifetime dollars lent out surpassed $100,000 and the default rate remains at 0%! Five WGEF clients ran for regional political offices and three won the race, enabling women a seat at the table and a voice in policy development! WGEF continues to empower women and thereby their families in Uganda.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
meeting with clients in Uganda and seeing firsthand how their lives have been transformed through WGEF's programs.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
get them more money to keep expanding their programs and changing more lives!
Review for Women Global Empowerment Fund, Denver, CO, USA
I have been a volunteer, donor, and eventually a Board Member for this phenomenal organization. I have been to Gulu, Uganda both before and after Women's Global started working there and the difference this organization has made is amazing! They have transformed the attitude of Ugandan women from one expecting people to give things to them to one of empowerment, self-confidence, and a desire to change their own lives. I have watched women learn to read and write, learn how to handle domestic violence issues, and start businesses. In particular, Grace was a women I knew in Gulu before Women's Global even existed. She was very quiet, with empty eyes and was always asking what I could give her - money for her daughter to go to school, money for medicine, etc. Two years later, after receiving a loan from Women's Global, I saw Grace again. This time, she was a confident women with joy-filled eyes. She didn't ask me for a thing, but told me about her business and how it was changing her life. Grace is now a peer-counselor, helping other women succeed in their businesses. There are so many more women out there, just like Grace, who are being reached by Women's Global and given a chance to change their own life!
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
the attitude and economic conditions of the women in Gulu, Uganda. Women who have received a loan from WGEF are visible throughout the city. As a result, they are able to better provide food and schooling for their children and are much more confident.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
not do a single thing differently than the current leadership.
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
seeing lives change as a result of the work done. It is such a joy to watch an insecure, poor woman be given a chance, and to see her be transformed into a confident, economically stable woman.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
wonderful, both in the U.S. and in Uganda. The program manager in Uganda is such a mentor to the women, providing not just business support, but emotional support as well. They are a huge part of why WGEF is so well respected by the community they serve
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
completely change Uganda! So many women could receive loans to start businesses, could learn to read and write. With that much money, current programs could be expanded and new ones could be started - all the empower women and change lives!
Ways to make it better...
All of my experiences with WGEF have been phenomenal! They are a solid organization that is changing lives.
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
funding! But that is the nature of non-profits!
One thing I'd also say is that...
WGEF is an amazing, well-run organization, that is impacting the women it serves and transforming lives.
How frequently have you been involved with the organization?
About every week
