In even the newest of life, if I might welcome the glad tidings on a suitably upbeat note, we walk through the shadow of the valley of death. And so it occurs to this natural-born optimist that the odds against you, aging reader, and me being around for the little fella's Coronation are similar to those against him being christened HRH Prince Monolulu Wayne Osama Dizzee Rascal Himmler Gonad of Cambridge.
My own preference for the future sovereign's name, by the way, has alway been James (the 2-1 favourite at the time of writing), in homage to the splendid if ultimately futile role played by Sir James Savile OBE in brokering marital peace between his paternal grandparents, Charles and Diana.
But whatever the infant is named – or has have been named, should the Palace have seen fit to make us look fools by releasing the news after we went to press – his gene pool and advances in the medicine of longevity suggest that his father, the clean-living, non-smoking Prince William, will live to at least 91. In which case little Monolulu/James/Whoever will not park his bum upon the throne of the United Kingdom and his great-grandmama's former dominions across the seas until, at the very earliest, the year 2073.
Foreseeing the kind of Britain His Adorably Wee Royal Highness will constitutionally rule is an impossible test for even as sensationally talented a soothsayer as your columnist. When William was born 31 years ago, for example, futurologists were sure that by now we would have ditched the cars, trains and buses for personal jet packs. That cancer would be as distant a dark memory as smallpox. And that the fearsome challenge for those of us soon to turn 50, who would be poised to cease work with obesely padded pension pots, would be usefully filling the untold hours of leisure. So how's that wealthy early retirement thing working out for ya? Me, not so good.
The oddity – and however often the point is made, it is bizarre – is that one thing utterly safe to predict is that this man-child will one day sit on that throne. If the reaction to his birth re-teaches us anything, other than that almost everybody goes gaga over a freshly minted baby, it is that being a Republican in Britain is more of a mug's game now than for centuries.
This must explain the national rapture better even than the gorgeous, biscuity smell of new-born neck about which legions of mummy novelists so love to bang on. The spectre of permanence is a pleasing one in a world developing at breakneck pace thanks to the wonders of technology. And especially so here in the global citadel of bonkers nostalgia, where huddling on underground platforms to avoid Luftwaffe bombs remains, to some, the happiest days of their lives.
The plus ça change-ness of an unbroken royal line stretching back to the Hanoverians and far into the future is a reassuring force, and no one should come over too sneery about that. I relish the idea that in this one regal regard, the country inherited by King Lulu I, if he'll excuse the familiarity, won't be remotely different from the one he entered at 4.24pm on Monday. News of his Coronation will not appear on the printed page, because there will be no such entity as a printed newspaper in 2073 (or, come to that, in 2023). But those reading about it on graphene tablets that scrunch up into tiny, pocket-sized balls, or having them downloaded directly to their cerebral nanochips, will find those details virtually identical to the ones that attended the present sovereign's anointment by God in 1953. And that, you will agree, is a comforting thought.
Beyond that, imagining the Britain of 60 years hence is a challenge, although something the amateur futurologist may state with certainty. "Will England have won the World Cup by 2073?" a friend and colleague mused yesterday. "England," I wearily replied, fatigued by a child-like naivety unbecoming his years, "will not have won the Fifa World Cup by 3073." Sir Brucie will still be fluffing his Strictly punchlines, and the Daily Mail – or at least Mail Online – will still be in a frightful state about the tidal wave of immigrants (albeit perhaps flooding in from Jay Zeta Centauri in the Quark-Hiphop nebula, rather than Bucharest). It is conceivable that Australia will have produced a cricket team capable of contesting an Ashes Test match in a manner other than the wholly satirical. But you wouldn't necessarily care to bet on that.
Me, I'd have my posthumous tenner on tobacco, howsoever packaged, having virtually vanished from the face of the earth, the idea of filling the lungs with carcinogens having come to be seen as no less preposterous than that ancient debate about whether gay people should be entitled to wed. Who knows, the future King may have become our first out-and-proud monarch, forging a dynastic marriage with a drag queen from Caesar's Palace, Las Vegas, and producing an heir of his own by way of turkey baster and surrogate.
Whether by 2073 climate change has rendered Windsor Castle an oasis in a British Sahara stretching from Brighton to Balmoral, whether the New Chinese Empire has been supplanted by the Pax Braziliana, whether Spurs have finally contrived to finished above Arsenal in the Premier League, and whether Katie Price has bequeathed her implant collection to a permanent silicon retrospective (never underestimate the Pricey!) at the Unnatural Science Museum, who can guess?
On these and a myriad of equally intriguing questions, the crystal ball is enshrouded by fog. But whatever the future holds, we wish the little chap only happiness as he grows up in a bemused, peculiar and, at moments such as this, peculiarly endearing post-imperial power that knows no other way to make sense of its place in the world than by coming together, daftly and sweetly, to celebrate his arrival and the promise of permanence it holds out. Long live Prince Monolulu, or Whoever, of Cambridge!Reuse content

Thoughts on Brewer Trade, Knicks Pick
February 23rd, 2010 by Jay
Wow, it's been since the summer since either of us slackers (Ben and myself) have posted anything – even throughout this tumultuous season which I have been following every game of! I was responding to a comment on the post that describes how we got the Knicks draft pick this year, and it got me talking about the possibilities and also about the controversial Brewer trade. I thought I'd copy some of it here and expand on it a little.
First, what to think of the Ronnie Brewer trade for nothing but a future 1st round pick from the Memphis Grizzlies.
Does this improve the Jazz? For now or the future? Did it hurt them? Let's take a look at some pros and cons and then I'll share my opinion:
(1) Jazz save several million dollars – Brewer's salary, doubled because of the dollar for dollar luxury tax.
(2) Jazz get a future 1st round draft pick from the Grizz. Will it be used on another player? Or coupled with something else to acquire a much better draft pick or player?
(3) Jazz wing players AK, Wes Matthews, Kyle Korver, and CJ Miles all get more minutes, more experience and should be happier and improve with the added playing time.
(4) Jazz get SOMEthing in return for Brewer, who was somewhat likely to leave for nothing in free agency because he and the Jazz were apparently far off in new contract negotiations.
(5) Jazz don't lose much because the play of Matthews and AK had made Brewer, and his lack of shooting expendable.

Howdy all,
With our ever increasing popularity the volume of customer service also rises accordingly. (We had over 700 orders last month alone)
We currently field literally dozens of emails a day at the website and trying to track down all the PMs in several different forums is an additional load that is far more time consuming than answering them all in one place.
So I would ask that if you need a question answered, please just email us at the website. We check emails literally every 30-45 mins on weekdays and several times on Sat.
(Maybe one or twice, maybe not at all on Sun, I reserve that day for family.)
I will continue to participate in the forums but I just need all direct questions to go to one place and not half a dozen so that everyone gets a timely answer.
Thanks for your understanding.

German Shepherd Dog Forums (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/)
- General Information (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/general-information/)
- - Do you let your dogs around unvaccinated dogs? (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/general-information/481433-do-you-let-your-dogs-around-unvaccinated-dogs.html)
Do you let your dogs around unvaccinated dogs?
A family friend has a small mixed breed dog that I am assuming they may want to bring to visit at some point. This family friend has stated that they don't vaccinate their dog.
I can't say this thrills me, but I wouldn't be too inclined to worry once my pup had all her shots. (Before she had all her shots, it would be an absolute no go.) Their dog is basically a cat that barks and it doesn't spend much time outside. I would worry more about the size disparity.
Would an unvaccinated canine visitor bother you? If so, under what circumstances?
21 Attachment(s)
If I had a puppy...I wouldn't let an unvaccinated dog come by. But at this point...I could care less. My dogs, after 3 and 4 years of life are probably immune to most things that a dog could bring in, so I don't worry.
A puppy...I'd try to hold off for a while even after the vaccines. Remember, the vaccines are against diseases that can possibly kill your dog, but there are hundreds of other things our dogs can get that will cause you to rush to a vet or leave your dog under the weather for a few days.
Hmm...well, i guess it is inevitable that he will be with dogs that do not get shots, i mean i send my son off to school everyday and there are parents that refuse to get immunizations so it is something i need to just suck up.
Because my guys are all utd i dont think i would have a major issue,the one vaccine that i am anal about is rabies though.
Realistically, though, I would guess that a visit wouldn't be possible anyway until my dog was closer to the age of yours.
My dogs are vaccinated and exposed to places where unvaccinated dogs surely frequent all the time. I have fosters come into the house that haven't been vaccinated yet... it doesn't bother me.
I don't worry about it either. It's the risk of exposure that has me vaccinating in the first place, lol. I'd bet most of the dogs we're around aren't UTD.
The fact that this dog is so much smaller and that its owner has admitted to not doing a super job with dog socialization is more likely to be a dealbreaker. Those two factors seem like a possible starter kit for problems, but the lack of vaccinations...day in the park. Literally.
I agree with being cautious with puppies. However, you can only control so much. My dogs are all vaccinated and go all kinds of places with me. I honestly do not know the vaccination status of other dogs around us; our obedience school does not even require proof of vaccination. I raised 3 dogs from puppies and lived in an apartment complex at the time. While I tried my best to be careful with them, they used common areas to go potty with other dogs going through. No one ever got sick, and they're alive and well today.
I have brought dogs into my home that ended up having parvo and my dogs were fine. Was I scared? YES. As long as my dogs are adults and up to date on shots, I'm ok with it.
I would be more concerned with the reasons behind not vaccinating. If they aren't vaccinating because they can't be bothered, then they can't be bothered to worm their dog and can't be bothered to keep their dog flea free. Therefore, that dog will be bringing all that mess to my house/yard. No way.

For many of us, learning to swim is synonymous with Olinger Pool. Until recently, the pool near North Salem High School was closed due to lack of operating funds, putting the future of high school swimming in Salem-Keizer School District at jeopardy. Now Olinger has been reopened AND we have a shot at a grant for $50,000 to fund swimming. That's something to be thankful for!
But we need your help. Between now and December 19, we need thousands of votes for the Save Our Swimming (North Salem High School) at the Chlorox "Power a bright future" website https://powerabrightfuture.clorox.com/nominees/detail/?nid=930
(the first time, you'll have to register and it's a little cumbersome, but hey, it's $50K!) Be sure to return everyday and vote.
You can also vote once a day by phone - text 930pbf to 95248. Please vote and share this with your friends and family. If Olinger and North Salem High School win, we all win.
Thanks for keeping High School Swimming afloat in Salem and Keizer!

West Seattle Produce Company to open May 1 on Fauntleroy Way
Fresh produce, flowers, and much more planned
Bruce McPherson, Mike Cairns, and Bob Klein are the partners in the new West Seattle Produce Company located on the former Huling Brothers used car lot on the west side of the street at 4755 Fauntleroy Way S.W. Klein is the owner of The Corner Market in Pike Place Market, a Seattle institution. Klein approached Cairns, former owner of "The Best of Seattle Coupon Book" and got him involved.
The company will open May 1st with a soft opening on April 30th.
"We initially gave up on the Huling property because we were dealing with another agent who couldn't get a deal done. Then John Wunder of Associates West called me and said they would make one of the lots available to us, so we negotiated a contract," said Cairns.
The lot is 30,000 square feet and the company has big plans for it.
They will have a full nursery with trees, shrubs and plants and flowers year round supplied by Rich's Nursery in Redmond. The company will also carry starter plants like tomato plants and peas from farmers in Carnation. On the north end of the property on weekends they will feature local crafts and artisans who want to bring their wares for sale. The company will offer free delivery of flowers and produce for the office throughout West Seattle with a $25 minimum order.
There will be a handicap ramp for universal access to the building on the property. That building, the former sales office, has been completely remodeled, painted "tomato red and farmer green" but all in a very environmentally sensitive way. The counter tops are recycled basketball court, the deck has been repaired and updated, largely with recycled lumber, and many parts of the building interior are built with re-sawn or re-planed lumber. "Our whole thought was to keep everything as green as we can," said Cairns.
Directly in front of the building the berries, cherries and other fruit will be displayed atop recycled shipping crates that have been painted to match the building exterior. "Wet produce" will be kept inside the building where it can be kept hydrated throughout the day.
The former signage and 100 foot Huling Brothers flagpole are even being recyled. "We've got a 20' x 30' flag and the lights in the lot will provide great illumination year round, even on the few gloomy days we have," Cairns said laughing. "The sign at the north side of the lot...we'll pull out the used cars part but keep the yellow arrow going around and put our logo inside and paint that out with our colors."
Cairns marketing background has come in handy in the preparations. He's art directing everything. "We've got so many cool props, an old truck with our logo on it, that was donated, an 80 year old tender we are refinishing that will be in the center with produce in it." They will have two wheeled fish carts on site for product. Old wagon wheels, a 1920's baby cradle, metal milk cans, and other antiques will add to the atmosphere.
The deck will have a built in bin with root vegetables, and a series of 6' x 8' tables with product on them. "The flowers you get down at Pike Place Market? They are from a friend of mine in Carnation so we will be carrying Market Place flowers," Cairns said.
Also in the building are a prep room, retail food sales area and an office. Just outside the prep room is a refrigerated truck permanently in place.
The company will carry Vashon Island Coffee, Beecher's Cheese, Paparadelles Pasta and Oils, and Smith Brothers Farm dairy products for all organic milk and cheese. "We will probably be around 30% organic in all our products. We will be as organic as we can," Cairns explained.
Through his connections to the Pike Place Market merchants he's garnered a lot of interest, "Everyone wants to come in. We have to look and see where we have room and if we have a hole or some room we want to bring people in from Pike Place Market."
"We want an open air market," said Cairns," Our theme is turn of the century."
The soft open on April 30 will feature coffee tasting, Smith Brothers Farm dairy products, and "Maybe some music, we're working on that," Cairns said.
As for music on the site on a regular basis he said, "We hope to build a stage on the site so throughout the summer months we can have live music on Friday and Saturday nights from 4 to 7 PM."
"More than anything else we want to be part of the community, be a fun place for somebody to come and shop and sit down and chat and we'll teach them all about produce," said Cairns. They will have recipes and 'recipes of the week.' "We want this to feel like shopping at Pike Place Market." They want to support local teams, join local organizations and build relationships.
The company has plans for more markets in the northwest." Issaquah is next. "This one is our blueprint for future growth. We have to build this out, see what customers like, and open Issaquah in March of next year."
They have four significant themes, intended to promote family activities. Spring and Summer Harvest, featuring lots of local produce, Fall Harvest, offering pumpkins for kids and much more, Winter Festival offering Christmas Trees, great lighting and more children's activities, and Spring Flowers with plants featured to make your own garden grow.
West Seattle Produce will be open seven days a week from 6:30 AM to 8 PM every day. Their phone number is 206-906-9727.
We encourage our readers to comment. No registration is required. We ask that you keep your comments free of profanity and keep them civil. They are moderated and objectionable comments will be removed.

A 20-year-old resident of the Shuafat refugee camp in east Jerusalem, who is suspected of shooting at homes in Pisgat Ze'ev — also in east Jerusalem — on Friday and Saturday, was shot and seriously wounded by Border Police forces.
After bullets were found in several homes in the Jewish neighborhood in east Jerusalem Friday, a special Border Police unit was dispatched Saturday to look for the shooter. When shots were fired Saturday afternoon, the unit responded, wounding the gunman.
The gunman was evacuated by a Red Crescent ambulance to Hadassah Ein Kerem hospital in Jerusalem, where he went taken for surgery.
Police said they are looking for other suspects involved in the shooting at Pisgat Ze'ev residences on Friday.

The new system will be in place in the summer and will meet a frequent request for an extension from many iPlayer users. Currently people in the UK make 10.7m programme requests daily. It means that most – but not all - BBC content will be available for the 30-day period, with some movies and sports programming still facing stumbling blocks over rights. BBC Trust Vice Chairman Diane Coyle said of the changes: "It is important that iPlayer continues to evolve and meet the expectations of users. "We have conducted a thorough assessment of these proposals, including taking independent advice from Ofcom, and concluded that this is a sensible move that will benefit audiences and provide a clearer and more consistent catch-up service." The BBC executive welcomed the decision, issuing a statement which said: "People keep telling us they want programmes to be available on BBC iPlayer for longer - so extending availability from seven to 30 days will make iPlayer even better. "New iPlayer already has downloads, better recommendations, HD, live restart, favourites and collections, and extending the catch-up window to 30 days gives people even longer to enjoy their favourite BBC programmes. We will now set about making this happen with the aim to roll this out from the summer." Follow @RadioTimes Like this? Share it.

Multnomah University prepares students for meaningful careers that serve Jesus whether they're called to traditional ministry or the marketplace.
Stay connected to our community and help the next generation of Christian leaders become agents of positive change, whether they're serving across the street or across an ocean.
Multnomah Biblical Seminary graduate and author Dan Kimball was awarded a Christianity Today 2004 Book of the Year award. As one of the top 22 books, Kimball's book The Emerging Church: Vintage Christianity for New Generations was voted winner in the Church/Pastoral Leadership category of the contest by Christianity Today's judges.
"Relevant, cogent, and practical, this book contains ideas that are fresh and represent a significant thrust forward," wrote Christianity Today regarding Kimball's award-winning book. "The author thinks biblically about the nature of authentic church life including worship, evangelism, and discipleship and helps us to understand the church of the next generation."
Christianity Today received 349 books from 45 publishers that were nominated for awards. The staff of Christianity Today then selected the top five books from each of the 22 categories to be judged based on each book's ability to "bring understanding to people, events, and ideas that shape evangelical life, thought, and mission."
Kimball is the author of two books with Zondervan Publishing House: Emerging Church, and Emerging Worship: Creating Worship Gatherings for New Generations, a book which looks at churches who are rethinking how they worship.
Kimball is also currently writing his third book which will consist of two versions: I Like Jesus, but Not the Church, which is intended for people not associated with the church, and They Like Jesus but not the Church, which is intended for church leaders and members. This two book series, also published by Zondervan, will address some of the misconceptions people have about Christianity and the established church.
Kimball and his wife, Becky, who is also a Multnomah graduate, have been married since 1990 and have two daughters, Katie and Claire. Kimball graduated from Multnomah in 1989 and lives with his family in Santa Cruz, California where he is the pastor of Vintage Faith Church.

TRADE 03' 530i for 180K miles 04' 745li
Hi Everyone,
This is my first post here. I have had a few BMWs over the last 7 years including a 2000 540i, 2001 530i, 2004 545i, and my current 2003 530i. My current car has 94K miles and I am considering trading it plus $2000 for a 2004 745li with 180K miles! I know I know very high mileage. The car is a one owner that was owned by a livery driver who did all regular maintenance and had all problems fixed at the dealer asap. My question is whether or not you think I should expect any major issues from 180K to 225K if the previous owner fixed issues as they arose and properly maintained the car? Also, what do you think of the deal? My car plus $2k? Many thanks for quick replies as I am considering doing quickly.
If he change: transmission, gumbo twice, cross pipe twice, coil packs with spark plug twice, did every 5k oil change, and battery few times, then if i was you, i will think if i want to change 530 on it
just buy the 7 :) high mileage doesnt mean the car is total wasted . but just make sure which main parts of the car is changed, like gearbox or so , then u are good to go :D
I would diagnose the car for fault codes ,if it doens't show fault codes,take it for a spin.
If the car drives fine ,i would buy it.:thumbup:
At that mielage i would check everything someone mentioned especially the weep hole leak plus the suspension which include control arms, sway bars, the electrical part of the suspension, all electrical parts of the car including amp, ask, nav,. But if you want my opionion i wouldnt get it you can find one with much lower mileage that would be in better shape imo.

This morning we packed up the car and drove downtown (as usual. want to know why we have no money? reason #1 = gas). And the whole way, Jayci kept yelling "wohoo" and telling me she was so excited to see the mouse. Now I have NO clue what made her think there would be a mouse at the zoo, or who told her a mouse is a cool animal compared to elephants and gorillas, but whatev.
I couldn't help but take a few quick shots of my little munchkin waiting for her friend Catherine. But then, I sort of forgot to get my camera out most of the rest of the trip.
We ended the day at the petting zoo and Jayci enjoyed brushing the goats.

JAFFNA, SRI LANKA – Sri Lanka's main Tamil party won a landslide victory Sunday in landmark elections in the battle-scarred north, raising hopes of some degree of self-rule for the ethnic minority after decades of war.
The opposition Tamil National Alliance (TNA) won 30 out of 38 seats in polls for a provincial council in the former war zone.
The election was called by the government amid international pressure for the majority Sinhalese to share power with Tamils four years after the end of the bloody separatist conflict.
TNA leader C.V. Wigneswaran said the results were an overwhelming vote for self-rule for Tamils. He repeated his demand for the military to withdraw from the Tamil-dominated north, saying there is no reason for its presence since the end of the war in 2009.
"That (army presence) is the primary problem the Tamils of the Northern province are having today," Wigneswaran told foreign reporters in the region's capital, Jaffna, shortly after results were announced.
"You have to get rid of the army. They must be put in barracks somewhere else," said Wigneswaran, who is set to become the region's chief minister.
Saturday's vote in the former rebel stronghold has been promoted by the U.N. Human Rights Council as a step toward ethnic reconciliation.
The Sinhalese-dominated national government has been under pressure to share power with Tamils who are a minority nationally but a majority in the battle-scarred north.
The TNA swept all five districts in the election for the Northern Provincial Council, results from the Department of Elections showed. The poll for the council, the first for 26 years, was held amid claims the military tried to intimidate and harass voters and a Tamil candidate.
President Mahinda Rajapaksa's United People's Freedom Alliance, which governs nationally, won just seven seats in a humiliating defeat.
A Muslim party won one seat on the council.
In the district of Jaffna, 400 km north of Colombo and home to over a million Tamils, the TNA secured more than 84 percent of the vote, exceeding its projections of 66 percent.
Wigneswaran said he is open to talks with the president on power-sharing arrangements in the north, and is seeking devolution in a united Sri Lanka, as set out in a statute in 1987, rather than separation.
"There is a fear of separation, but all we are asking for is a federal state which exists within the boundaries of Sri Lanka," Wigneswaran said. "We are for an undivided Sri Lanka and self-rule under a federal system."
Semiautonomous provincial councils were established in 1987 as part of a plan to ease ethnic unrest. But elections had never been held for the northern council, which until now had been under direct presidential control.

As I watch the Olympic Games the thought arises as to why Muslim females are not wearing the burqa or niqab and why Jewish boys don't wear their yarmulka while swimming. I also do not notice Orthodox Jewish females wearing modest clothes while running or jumping. I understand that religious scholars understand that God ordained we humans should cover our bodies and heads to show respect. It is strange that if God wanted life forms to cover heads as a sign of respect, why didn't he create animals with hats?
From age 12 the entire concept of covering heads and bodies was confusing to me. I used to wonder if God mentioned some place in the Torah that all males should wear their yarmulkes while taking a shower. I wonder what an alien life form would grasp from the fact human females have to cover the upper part of their bodies, but men do not. We can display our face, but we cannot display our penis or vagina.
My conclusion is life forms from distant planets would never spend much time on this planet since they are completely confused about what must or must not be covered.

Few elements in a home are as universally agreeable as a wood window. In traditional designs, wood windows lend a sense of quality and classic good looks. In modern homes, incorporating wood windows adds warmth while maintaining a natural palette that stays in-step with metal and concrete. As some of the examples in our slideshow illustrate, even large expanses of glass can benefit from wood, which can serve to subtly frame views or create bold designs.

When we come back to Paris, we would love to stay here again and we will definitely recommend this apartment to all our friends"
"Great location close to the metro, metres from cafes & restaurants, boulangeries, butchers and mini markets all a few minutes on foot. Only a 10 minute walk to Sacre Coeur taking in lovely little Parisian lanes. The apartment is cosy and appointed in modern decor and has everything you need to enjoy a stay in Paris!! Thanks!!"

"Closeness to metro"
"location, comfort, conveniant, friendly and helpful managers."
"The apartment was lovely, very clean and had everything we needed. Benjamin was very helpful, and came to let us in/check us out very promptly to coincide with our Eurostar train times, so we didn't have to wait around at all, which was fantastic. It was in a perfect location to explore the city - a 2 minute walk from Lamarck-Caulaincourt Metro station, and a 5 minute walk from a good selection of bars and restaurants. All-in-all, couldn't have asked for a better apartment and a better weekend. "
"Very friendly and easy contact to host. Top location. Nice Cafe around. "
"The fact we could cook our own food Homely aspect of room not about the apartment, but Way to Stay provided me with an out dated phone number for the owner"
"Loved the area, Benjamin was extremely helpful and prompt. The apartment is perfect for a couple, small but feels very spacious. The free wifi comes in very handy for planning trips etc"
"We liked the locality, convenience to restaurants, attractions of Montmartre, the metro, supermarket, etc. Accommodation was very good, with everything one needed for a comfortable stay. We would have liked a teapot (we're Brits!), and a small wall safe for passports, cash, etc. would have been very useful."
"Great local neighbourhood with good restaurants and close to metro. Easy to walk to areas of interest in Montmartre district around Sacre Coeur. Size very compact. Just OK for a couple - would not suit anyone needing a little extra space."

Learning about Pablano Pepper's and Ancho Chile's
There are so many different types of peppers that are available for cooking and eating that it can be overwhelming to keep them straight. Which pepper is good for this dish or that one? Here is some information to help you learn a bit more about the popular Pablano pepper and its sister the Ancho chile.
The Pablamo pepper is one of the most popular peppers, next to the Jalapeno. You may find it under the name Pasilla. A native of Mexico, it is used in a variety of ways, both fresh and dried. The flavor is mild and the spiciness ranges very low on the Scoville Scale. This pepper is mainly used in dishes such as chile rellenos, which is basically a roasted and peeled pablamo stuffed with cheese and /or meat, deep fried and covered in a red sauce. They can also be canned or frozen for future use, after roasting and peeling their skins.
Pablamos are often dried. You can find them in the dried form under the name Ancho chile and again, this will be considered mild although it does get hotter after drying. After drying the pepper turns black and flattens out into a heart shape. It is usually used in ground form as a seasoning. One very popular use of the Ancho seasoning is in Mole and it is very popular in general chili seasonings that you can purchase.
Next time you have the opportunity to try a Pabalmo pepper or Ancho chile, pick up a few and see what you can create with this popular pepper.

Programmable Desk Lamp Reacts To Users Environment [Future Of Home Living]
Clyde is an expressive LED light that can be programmed with personality modules to react to the user and its environment.
In a trend from our Future of Home Living report we're calling Lightscaping, which looks at how programmable systems can control the color, intensity and directionality of light to match a particular mood or task, or immerse people in an entertainment experience, PSFK Labs has identified the following example.
A Canadian design company called Fabule has developed an expressive LED desk lamp called Clyde that can be programmed with personality modules to react to the user and its environment in unique ways. Using Arduino, an open-source electronics software, the lamp can be 'taught' to respond with different colors and intensities of light based on when certain conditions occur. For example, when Clyde is in 'afraid of the dark' mode, it can light up depending on how dark a room is. In 'touchy feely' mode, Clyde cycles through different light colors when you touch its flexible legs. The project was successfully backed through crowdfunding site Kickstarter.
Room lighting solutions such as the Hue bulb fall under a larger theme we're calling Adaptive, which examines how customizable solutions for the home are being designed to accommodate a wider range of needs throughout the day and week, bringing greater functionality and flexibility to urban lifestyles.
PSFK has announced the latest in a series of trend reports. Following studies into retail, social media, gaming, work and mobile, the PSFK Labs consulting team have generated the Future of Home Living report. That report manifests as a free summary presentation, an in-depth downloadable PDF and an exhibition in New York City that runs to August 16.
RSVP below to take a tour of the exhibition at 101W15th.

FactBehindFiction: A step long overdue
Jul 11 2014
It is refreshing to learn that Jaitley has announced setting up of an expenditure management commission
for which the Indian contributed $1.5 million annually. The programme was over more than ten years ago but the government continues to contribute $1.5 million even today and no effort has been made to stop it.
The animal husbandry department in Delhi has two rickety vehicles to carry carcass, which are decades old as there is no sanction for their replacement. But the department has the sanction to spend any amount of money to carry out repairs on the vehicle to keep them running. This is how government expenditure is made without any application causing a huge drain on public resources.
In fact if one goes through the allocation of resources under various heads, there will be at least 20 items in each department, which need not be provided money, yet allocation is made so that there is no reduction in funds to the department.
Long ago, I visited a scientific laboratory and found to my surprise several brand new and unused instruments and I asked the director why so many of them continued to be unused. The honest reply was we get funds every year for buying this particular instrument and if I say no and that I want money for buying some other instruments, the fund flow would stop. I do not want that to happen so we keep on adding the same instrument though we do not require them.
Government servants always travel officially on full fare ticket in Air India so that the protocol department gets more commission and the government servant gets a free ticket for his spouse. This is how Air India is made to bleed and government spends more money on travel by bureaucrats putting the government exchequer in difficulty. Thirty-three air-conditioners in former Delhi chief minister and now Kerala governor Shiela Dixit's residence in Lutyen's Delhi is another blatant example.
These wasteful expenditure in the government coupled with leakages in subsidies make the government bleed. There is no accountability. In the government, the left hand does not know what the right is doing. The wasteful expenditure in corruption-ridden social schemes is even more pathetic. Also, several social schemes have outlived their utility yet they continue because no decision has been taken about their winding up.
It is therefore really refreshing to learn that finance minister Arun Jaitley in his maiden budget to Parliament on Thursday announced setting up of an expenditure management commission that will look into various expenditure reforms to fulfill the NDA government's objective of minimum government and maximum governance. The expenditure management commission is expected to give its interim report within this financial year. This is part of the efforts to overhaul subsidy regime and various other aspects of expenditure.
Jaitley announced in the budget a non-plan expenditure of Rs 12,19,892 crore with additional provision for fertiliser subsidy this financial year. Plan expenditure is pegged at Rs5,75,000 crore. The total expenditure estimates stood at Rs17,94,892 crore. Of this, the subsidy bill is Rs 2.55,707 crore. The tax revenue to be mopped up is only Rs 13,64, 524 crore leaving a huge gap, which would be mostly met by way of borrowing and some non-tax revenue like disinvestment.
A mere 10 per cent cut in government expenditure meant a saving of Rs 1.8 lakh crore, which meant government fiscal deficit would come down by one third.
A 10 per cent cut is a doable proposition as there is not only a lot of leakage and diversion in subsidies, but also a large quantity of wasteful expenditure. The question is who will bell the cat? Usually, expenditure cut in the past has been in areas where it should not be done so as create an impression that there is limited scope for spending cuts. Sometimes, critical areas are starved of funds to justify wasteful expenditure.
Spending on poor and marginalised is certainly good but the issue is does the money reach the actual beneficiary? Well, cash transfers are now being talked about and one only hopes this works as all experiments in the past have failed. Delivery and implementation is a major concern in government without which expenditure reform will not work.
Expenditure reform is not new. In the past, the government has adopted zero-based budgeting on expenditure. That is — every spending is looked at afresh every year and allocated accordingly. But so far, it does not seem to have made an impact the way it should be. Government departments hoodwink the finance ministry and get their wasteful spending sanctioned making this exercise futile. Zero-based budgeting also refers to the identification of a task and then funding resources to complete the task independent of current resourcing. The idea is good but on the ground, it does not seem to be working fully.
KP Geethakrishnan's expenditure reform commission submitted its report 15 year ago. Apart from containing subsidies, the thrust of the report was on downsizing and closing down of several departments, including the films division. But it never happened and spending on them continues to bleed the government. Some staff reduction has taken place as suggested by the committee but this has happened in a manner that some critical areas have been starved of requisite number of staff as it has been implemented without application of mind.
Vested interests and lack of political will has so far ensured expenditure reforms do not work in the country. But Jaitley seems to have begun well making the right noises. Only time will tell if he is able to walk the talk, as past experience show that reforming government spending is a humongous task. There is more resistance than consensus. Revenue buoyancy ensures wasteful spending is tolerated. The issue surfaces only when revenue is constrained in a slowing economy. It is usually forgotten when the revenue picks up. One can hope that this time, Jaitley is serious as his government has the mandate to carry forward unlike his predecessors.

1967 Pontiac GTO brakes
Does anyone have an illustration on how the rear brakes are assembled? I had none of the adjuster hardware on my car when I got it.
As a moderator here, I would like to WELCOME YOU here.. :welcome: :welcome:
This is a Ford backing plate with the self adjusters........not a Pontiac but they are basically the same.........and should get you started in the right direction.
The Pontiac wont have the cable for the adjuster.........it's a lever type.
another question
On on the hardware I bought to put in my car, there is a piece of wire (similar to #9 wire) that is bent. I have seen them used before but I don't remember where it goes, can you help. I think I can get the rest with that information. Thanks
Good procedure, passed on from old-timers..... only disassemble one side at a time.
not a retard
Given the opportunity to view one side done correctly would have made this project too easy. One of the "old timers" removed the adjusters just like the ones in the old days. Thanks for your insight.

hope these help. they are GM 9.5" rear 67-81
Thank you. That was exactly what I needed. ;)

Year in Review – Arts and Entertainment
The art of living in Nederland
Barbara Lawlor
Peak to Peak
Art is everywhere and so are artists. The written word has a home. Music fills stages and our events.
Nederland supports its artists, musicians and writers and many local businesses are proud to display the work of locals, to host concerts and to offer reading material. The economic slump has affected the sale of artwork, which is considered a luxury item, but the painters continue to paint, the sculptors build graceful, provocative pieces and jewelers mold and polish art to wear. Musicians practice and perform and boost our spirits.
Art goes on. The Nederland Community Center Foundation has become one of the largest supporters of local art in the area. With spacious hallways and meeting room walls, the NCC hosts quarterly shows with opening receptions and a chance to meet the artists and enjoy a lavish spread of finger food and wine.
Each show names an artist who is chosen by the show's viewers, a written vote during the evening. Last January's people's choice was Claudia Ariss, whose Eye of Candy Glasswork was stunning in its color and clarity. It was the fifth Art at the Center Show.
The NCC Art at the Center featured Nederland Middle/Senior High School students at their sixth showing. These students included Esther Bergeson, Zoe PG, Harrison Dunham, Luke Harrison and Diego Lopez.
This fall, the Art at the Center people's choice award went to Alex Stark, a Boulder student, who submitted three paintings titled Upon Reflection, representing his battle with cancer.
On Jan. 29, the Nederland Community Library opened its doors to the shiny, new facility that replaced the bays and former classrooms that were once its homes. Nestled along North Boulder Creek, the library is accessed by crossing a bridge and walking over donated engraved bricks. It is hard to remember the library not being there.
The grand opening featured Colorado Poet Laureate Dave Mason and many thanks to the Nederland people for supporting the bond campaign to build a real library. Seven hundred people came to welcome the new shelves, the fireplace, the computers and the space for more books.
Among February events is the annual Community Champion Award ceremony, a recognition of people whose efforts make Nederland a better place to live. This year's recipients include the Lifetime Achievement Award which went to George Blevins; the Outstanding Youth Award which went to Grace Reis; the Government Award which went to Mayor Sumaya Abu-Haidar; the Town Employee Award which went to Jake Adler; the Educational Excellence Award which went to Little Bear School; the Business Award which went to Tom Boogaard of Wild Mountain Smokehouse and Brewery; and Best Non-Profit Award to the Nederland Community Library.
Volunteer Awards went to Katrina Harms, Jan Tofoya, Susan Gallaudet, Dale Porter, Doug Cosper, Alan Brewer and Herb Pugmire. Local author and former Mountain-Ear publisher Kay Turnbaugh introduced her children's book "A Mountain Pine Beetle: Tiny but Mighty" and had a book signing at the new library.
The Gilpin County Arts Association celebrated its 65th year of hosting a juried show in Central City. This year more than 100 pieces of art were on display.
After 11 years of organizing the High Peaks Art Festival in downtown Nederland, the Chamber of Commerce sold the event to Cathy Stiers who has been instrumental in keeping the festival alive and well. This year's Best of Show Award was won by self-defined Art Magician Eric Abraham.
One year and one month after its grand opening on Memorial Day 2010, the Carousel of Happiness celebrated its 100,000 rider. Rachel West, 5, won a lifetime pass. The COH hosted several well-attended fundraisers and special parties during the year, including a popular Halloween party for everyone.
Nederland Community Presbyterian Church Pastor Don Dexter announced his resignation from his post as church leader. Dexter was the creator of the Mountain Community Music and Arts Association, which featured monthly concerts during the summer. The church officials said they will work on continuing the concerts. Five candidates for the position of pastor will be chosen and then voted on by the congregation.
The Pallette Gallery, one of Nederland's first art galleries, announced its decision to close. In 2007, artists Phillys Wright, Bette Ventrella, Jan Ferrel, Kathy Spratford and Judy MacDougall started the gallery as a place for local artists to display their work. The women said they accomplished what they set out to do.
The Play-Ground Theatre duo of Jeff Haycock and Mia Sole showed the world premiere of their television Pilot, "The Funny People." Based on 20 years of performing for children, the pilot episode one contains seven sketches, which include local children. Their hope is to have Public Broadcasting System pick it up and continue producing the show in their Rollinsville home.
Michael Bane of the Shooting Gallery filmed an on-location scene of the Zombie Show at the NCC's West Wing. For a few days, the former classrooms were filled with bloody ghouls created by makeup experts. The Show was the last of the series of seven seasons.
Chris Benson, a Nederland High School student, won the Lion's Club Peace Poster Contest and was recently announced as the first place winner at the district level. His poster was a warning that peace is a sinking ship and the world should save it or it will be lost forever.
Second place went to Natalea Cohen, third to Kendall Shankey and honorable mention to Caleb Pugmire.

Thanks for chiming in with the official word of what went down and how.
@envato: Support tickets are working again but please don't open a new ticket for payment or search issues yet. We're still working on those ^TK
Thanks for the update. One I had spinning seems to have been submitted and I got an email…good signs!
For some reason it isn't showing up in the main Site Feedback forum anymore… you can still access it from the link.
No there is no customer support number (Envato is located in OZ anyway) and when they have fixed the problem I am supposing you can fill out a support request.
I apologize I was following the wrong twitter feed (not the main Envato one). Thanks for keeping us in the loop.
Can we at least get some sort of idea about what status this in? I checked twitter, facebook and there is nothing posted there either.
Purchases seem to be able to complete but the token or completion piece on the Envato side simply isn't working. Furthermore the history in my account does not show a purchase at all and the download is nowhere to be found.
I feel ya thank you for the update it is much appreciated. As someone who provides support services for my own company, along with media design and web content, I certainly understand problems usually come in threes anyway!
doru said
Andk22 saidI know is sucks to wait for a fix but this doesn't happen every day.
I purchased a theme and I have no file in my download area, tells me: Waiting for payment confirmation …
Payment has been paid correctly.Bad service.
I agree that it is not bad service per se but perhaps bad protocol that simultaneously we are unable to contact support regarding the problem. Housing the support server and payment servers or web servers where they are dependent on one another is inviting disaster.
Any update yet?

Welcome from South Carolina...
Sometimes in life you have to stand your ground. It's a hard lesson to learn and even most adults don't get it, but in the end only I can be responsible for my life. If faced with any type of adversity, only I can overcome it. Waiting for someone else to take responsibility is a long fruitless wait.

Stick with 'official' Kahr mags. Promag makes cheaper copies, but bitter experience has told me to run! not walk away from them. I hammered two of them flat before throwing them away, because I didn't want someone finding them and thinking they were useful. I won't even use 'em for range work.

I really wish Mec-Gar would start making Kahr mags. I think they would do a better job than Kahr does. In my opinion, the magazine is the weak link in the Kahr platform. Most people on the Kahr talk.com website think so too. Great gun, iffy mags.

Cardinals 6, Padres 3: Carlos Beltran snapped a tie with a two-run homer in the fifth inning and Lance Lynn rebounded from a sluggish start to record his seventh win as host St. Louis completed a three-game sweep of San Diego.
After Matt Holliday singled to lead off the fifth, Beltran deposited a curveball from former Cardinal Jeff Suppan (2-3) just inside the foul pole in right. The blast was Beltran's National League-leading 14th of the season and first since May 13.
David Freese also homered and drove in two and Matt Adams collected his first career RBI with a run-scoring single in the first. Skip Schumaker had an RBI double for the Cardinals, who overcame a 3-0 deficit to drop the Padres to a league-worst 4-13 on the road.
Lynn (7-1) yielded a leadoff homer to Will Venable and two more runs in the first before settling down. The 25-year-old allowed three runs on eight hits in six innings.
Two relievers bridged the gap to Jason Motte, who retired the side in order in the ninth for his eighth save of the season.
Suppan dropped his third straight decision after permitting five runs on eight hits and walking four in 4 2/3 innings.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Venable fell a triple shy of the cycle, which would have been the first in Padres history. ... Suppan won the 2006 World Series with the Cardinals and also played with them in 2010. ... St. Louis placed third baseman Matt Carpenter on the 15-day disabled list with an oblique injury.

When Tillie Anderson came to America, all she had was a needle. So she got herself a job in a tailor shop and waited for a dream to find her. One day, a man sped by on a bicycle. She was told "bicycles aren't for ladies," but from then on, Tillie dreamed of riding—not graceful figure eights, but speedy, scorching, racy riding! And she knew that couldn't be done in a fancy lady's dress. . . . With arduous training and her (shocking!) new clothes, Tillie became the women's bicycle-riding champion of the world.
Sue Stauffacher's lively text and Sarah McMenemy's charming illustrations capture the energy of America's bicycle craze and tell the story of one woman who wouldn't let society's expectations stop her from achieving her dream.
