Dunno who will be able to answer this but are new people ever joining this forum?
says last new member was september 2014
Think theres any chance of it getting going again? I know I don't post much but iv lurked for years n itd be a shame if it died off eh
all we can do is start threads when there's interesting news, and hope a few kick off
'Go read a fucking book, you piece of shit.'
Facebook has been the forum killer. All the groups and pages on FB means there is no need to share info here like there used to be.
I only come here when I'm at work lol
I'm no gynecologist but I know a cunt when I see one.
Think everyone posting a link on FB might be worthwhile to try generate a bit of interest? or is there a way of inviting folk via social media?
Drama is what is needed.
All the other crap people can read about elsewhere but what really brings all the boys to the yard is a shit storm.
Now I am not suggesting anybody start some for the sake of it but yeah thats whats gotta happen.
Did someone say Dutchman* is a cunt...?
*The name has been changed to protect the innocent.
MMA Officials London, Essex and East Anglia representative
If drama is all you want, invite someone who I don't get on with.
Should be fairly easy to find someone.
Taking this shit, one day at a time.

In honor of the former boy band's unofficial holiday, I decided there was no better day than to list the top five *NSYNC songs of all-time.
Guess what I don't want to see? One Direction waltzing around London. Guess what I do want to see? JT and the gang in a mental institution, driving themselves crazy.
I found five movies and related them to five of my real-life experiences involving romance.
My brother, the felon, strolled into prison, kept his head held high, and inspired me with a few gems of wisdom along the way.
No one does better covers than Boyce Avenue.
1. "Fancy," Iggy Azalea Featuring Charli XCX
You've been dying for a song to come out that sounds like Lil Kim scissoring Gwen Stefani while Ke$ha watches and masturbates to an Insane Clown Posse beat.
Technology resurrected Michael Jackson for one more performance.
6. There is no doubt about it. Jason Derulo is not a pizza.
6. Wearing a flower crown.

What do you do?????
This is the response you get when a manufacturer's part goes bad. I guess that's the reason most offer no warranty for HP parts. This is the email thread between Brian Crower and myself. Unfortunatly, I can't attach the pictures of their product that is "the best on the market".
That's funny...this is the typical "prove it" response I thought I would get.

That was a nice swift kick to the gonads...
Had not exactly, but a similiar problem with Competition Cams. Mailed back a defective roller rocker (bought via Jeg's) and they conveniently forgot it. I called a few weeks later (had bought a replacement from Jeg's) inquiring about the warranty and the guy says, "I remember something like that coming in but we were unsure what to do with it."
"Give me my damn money back would be a groove!"
I thought that they would be interested in inspecting a defective part, but they didn't give a damn. I finally got credit for the rocker.
Hopefully I don't go through the same thing again because I just replaced the cam and lifters with Comp products. The engine is running now and is stronger than ever, unfortunatly, I have to sell the car now.
was there any kind of warranty with their product? i would think there should be some kind of warranty and some level of compensation if there is faulty workmanship - which was proven by the testing, right? i say if their lifter was defective then they are responsible for it. maybe you should talk to a lawyer, it'd really suck if you had to sell to your car.

Sound System Improvement Stage One
I have been asked on numerous occasions about stereo equipment for the X3 since I have installed them in two separate X3's (07 and 08) and helped dozens of others including some dealerships.
Stereo installations can be done in stages just like performance or handling enhancements can be done in most vehicles until the desired impact is achieved. This helps to not only spread out the cost, but keep it to a minimum.
At the end of this whole series I will post some pics and "DIY" instructions.
For those that are new to the forum my recommendation come from over 35 years in the music industry as well as 20 years as a radio broadcast engineer with such big radio station names as DC 101 where Howard Stern started, and doing sound for a number of popular bands or groups.
Please bear in mind with my experience and even more --- these are only suggestions since the human ear is the most perfectly diverse piece of audio test equipment available and what sounds good to me might sound like (expletive) to you
This will be done in five stages:
Since there are so many different variations I will make suggestions in what I consider to be each stage of improving your X3's basic business sound system. IF you have the higher grade sound system, you are probably content and don't need my meddling.
First (Stage One): Speakers
speakers like
can be an easy change but make a world of difference. I will not go into the full details of what specs are what, but only recommend ones I know will fit and have the proper electrical acceptability to the OEM sound system. Prices are approximate and taken from Crutchfield as it is an easy link and has good descriptions.
Alpine SPS-400
$70 all around good sound most popular
Infinity Reference Series
$130 favors the brighter side of music if your hearing is dulling these will certainly let you hear the sound of Santana as well as the violins of Tchaikovsky. Will also take more power if and amp is later added.
Focals 100 VRS
$600 not cheap. This is really pushing it. I won't spend this kind of money, but if you have it and are serious about sound these are the best that will fit in your X3. Please be advised that they will never sound great with out additional power, like an external amp.
Stage Two will be HU and external components that allow you to keep your HU but add other equipment. As there are a number of new things out (that even I have my eye on) I want to do more research before I post this. Plus too much will bore you to death.
Hope this helps,
Please PM questions (for greater detail) with regard to each stage as posted

It's Taco Time for the homeless in White Center Friday
Free Tacos for the homeless at Steve Cox Park this Friday March 8 at Noon thanks to White Center Taco Time
The White Center Taco Time and corporation working with the White Center Homeless Summit (WCHS) community group will provide a free taco lunch for homeless people in White Center on Friday March 8 at noon., WCHS, a coalition started by the White Center Chamber of Commerce and many local service entities and local businesses has been working for almost a year on a strategy to support the White Center homeless and chronic alcoholic populations to recovery.
The taco feed will begin at noon in front of the White Center Chamber of Commerce office in Steve Cox Park (corner of SW 102nd and 14th Ave. SW) behind McLendons, across from the Cross Church site. Volunteers will provide fresh tacos to the crowd, supplied by the White Center Taco Time.
Participation in the effort includes many White Center organizations, churches, street ministries, business owners and residents who are working to reduce the negative impacts that can occur from White Center's homeless on our business district and in our community. One outcome was to try a program called "White Center Friday Lunch in the Park", patterned after a successful effort in Kent, where each Friday, free lunch is provided in a local park for Kent's homeless, pulling them out of the business district for a few hours, and putting them in touch with people and programs that can support them to recovery.
The organizers have extended their gratitude to Frank Tonkin and the entire Tonkin family, owners of Taco Time Northwest/Accord Inc., as they have agreed to provide hot meals for 40 homeless residents once a month for six months to try this program here in White Center.
Additional critical support has been provided by Mac's Triangle Pub, Grace Church, Union Gospel Mission, Mt View Presbyterian Church, Westside Church, Holy Family School, with essential community facilitation from Westside Baby. White Center businesses Proletariat Pizza and Mikes BBQ have encouraged the discussions and provided positive direction and encouragement.
Lunch will be served by community volunteers until the food runs out. This project is implemented with the help of Alex Campbell, a Evergreen High School senior, as his required senior community service project. Alex helped with the homeless count this year, handed out over 200 flyers to local residents and businesses, and will be organizing and serving during the lunches this Spring. Alex plans to attend WSU in the fall to study business administration.

It happened at Ceralvo and Allende, which is near General McMullen.
EMS was called to deal with several injuries.
A car ran through a stop sign and slammed into the bus. The wreck knocked the bus off the road and shoved it through a fence and a tree and into a house.
EMS says several people were hurt, but none of them seriously.

Agricultural Revitalization
I've been a wheat and cattle rancher for 33 years, and every day I see the struggle that farmers face to make a living. Fuel and fertilizer prices are skyrocketing while the price of wheat has dropped. Most countries help their farmers through rough times like these, but our government has chosen to ignore us.
As a pilot, I've had a chance to fly over the vast farming regions of the inland Northwest. I've seen the orchards of close friends laid to waste, trees cut down in dried up fields. I believe the time to act decisively is now--we can't afford to wait another day. In Congress, I will stop the pattern of sitting by idly and watching as farmer after farmer goes bankrupt.
Eastern Washington farmers have my pledge:
* I will work to ease the burden on Eastern Washington farmers by developing an energy credit to help them recover some of their increased costs.
* I will vigorously work to raise the soft white wheat loan rate.
* I will fight for increased federal spending on agricultural research.
* I will work to create incentives for agriculturalists who choose to produce crops like canola that can be used to generate alternative fuels while benefiting the farmer at the same time.

Preparations Begin For Vermont Yankee Lawsuit
07/21/11 7:34AM By Ric Cengeri
(Host) Lawyers for Entergy and the attorney general are preparing for a federal lawsuit next month that will determine the state's role in the future operation of Vermont Yankee.
Earlier this week, Judge Garvan Murtha rejected Entergy's request for an injunction that would allow Yankee to operate past next March without state permission.
Judge Murtha rejected Entergy's assertion that it would suffer irreparable harm if the injunction wasn't granted.
The decision sets the stage for a trial in September. At issue is whether Vermont has the legal right to decide the future of Vermont Yankee.
Michael Dworkin is a professor at Vermont Law School and former chair of the state's Public Service Board:
(Dworkin) "I think the issue will be, was the state legitimately trying to act on issues other than radiological safety and was any trace of radiological safety concerns so terrible that it impaired the otherwise legitimate state action."
(Host) Attorney General Bill Sorrell believes, regardless of the outcome of the upcoming trial, an appeal is inevitable.
(Sorrell) "I would be very surprised if Vermont, if we lose at any level if we wouldn't go just as far as Entergy will likely go to get this thing ultimately resolved by the highest court."
(Host) Sorrell predicts that the case will eventually be heard by the U.S. Supreme Court.

50,000 Words -- Nothing More to Say?
For those not keeping score at home, this is the 100th blog since Kay talked me into expressing all the oddball stuff which goes on in my addled mind. When I started 100 was more-or-less the goal -- not really believing there was that much I could think of to say; and sure that if I reached such output I would run out of those boring stories inflicted over the years on my defenseless children.
There is no fixed agenda to this blogging stuff; nothing to sell, no platform sought to proclaim any particular viewpoint or advocate any cause; no specific writing style locked into (unless you count rambling). Maybe I could work on some of that, but all I have is an eclectic brain and observant mindset.
Solely for purposes of a mental exercise, I've tried to make every submission as close to 500 words as possible. This is about as much as I can say about any subject, and probably as much as anyone would read. This has meant a lot of really good stuff was dumped, and on occasion a bunch of fluff inserted.
So, to date, 50,000-plus words.
It never occurred to me anyone would actually read my ramblings other than Kay (who insists on editing my errors) and Jason Moon (who insists on editing my archaic prose). It surprises me when that one other reader says they read it, overwhelms me when they say they like it.
Ever since the eighth-grade, people have told me I'm a good writer. That's not exactly true. One of the things I've reaffirmed in all this blogging is that I definitely am not a writer. Hemmingway was a writer. Erma Bombeck was a writer. Kimberly Gleason is a writer. I'm not a writer -- except for that part about throwing Kimberly in with those other guys, that's good writing -- right Kimberly?
What I am is what I said when this all started 99 blogs ago:
"First, I've never been a good reporter or researcher. Most of what I write I think of as prose written in essay form. Probably the reason very little of what I write is ever read by anyone.
"Second, one of my great failures in life has been a failure to be politically correct. Instead I tend to be too honest for anyone's good. Unfortunately this will continue.
"Third, I am neither a leader nor a very good follower. Most of what I do is observe and keep an incredibly lot of irrelevant facts in my head. My observations and mistaken memories are what I write."
So here we are, over a year into this blogging thing. Is Kay so tired of correcting my typing she's given up and future submissions would be indecipherable? Will Jason stop humoring me and give my spot to Kim? Have I run out of boring stories? Do I have anything left to say?

Wind Deflector
I just got my E89 wind deflector for my Z4 35i on ebay from a Bmw dealer and put it on in about 15 minutes. The removal of the old rear headrest came off with little effort, but that was the hardest part of the job. Took it for a quick ride and it makes such a difference! Thanks to an earlier post, on the installation, It was easy to do!

Cream of broccoli soupCream of broccoli soup
Recipe DescriptionPreparation Steps:If using fresh broccoli, chop into small florets and pieces.Level of Difficulty:Very easyTime Needed:10-15minsIngredients:~950g bag of frozen broccoli OR large bundle of fresh broccoliServes:
~1 cup cream
~1 cup milk
~1 cup water
~1-2 tablespoons of plain white flour to thicken
~Watercress to garnish (optional, I prefer without)3-4 adult portionsDirections:Pour all liquid ingredients together in the largest pan you have, and whisk in the flour to make a milk-consistency sauce.
Turn on the heat, and start to gently heat the mixture, stirring all the time. Add all the broccoli after a couple of minutes, turn up the heat until it reaches boiling point and starts to thicken. Turn down to simmer until the broccoli is tender, and soft enough to mash. Break up and mash the broccoli as much as possible with a fork.
Leave until just cool, pour into a blender, and blend on slow for a couple of minutes or until you get a semi-smooth paste.
Serve with buttered crusty rolls, hot from the oven.
Delicious, simple, cheap AND full of folic acid so great for mothers-to-be/TTC.

Re: AMD Benchmark[]
I looked at it and I'm sure it's a very fast and capable processor.
"In some cases by default it does not use optimized code paths on AMD
I think AMD and Intel both have processor models with uploadable cores
- meaning you can make one processort act as if it is another or even
write your own processor / emulator code.
Another total scene in todays processors is integrated USB and video.
With these you can make your own "panda board" :) That is: you can
with far greater ease develop and end-user device you might be trying
to sell.
Watch out for relying on chip features that require drivers. You
don't always get driver updates for the target OS. Both AMD and Intel
have maybe the best records for providing the ones you need (I didn't
say perfect).

Surfboard. You'll want a board you can handle: Longer, wider, and thicker is easier. Board size also depends on the height and weight of the rider: Bigger surfers generally ride bigger boards. Find a good surf shop and ask lots of questions. New long boards range from $450 to $650―for beginners, a good used board ($250 to $375) may be a better option. Ed Guzman likes softer foam boards for the first few months of learning.
Wet suit. What you'll need depends on where and when you'll surf: thinner for Southern California, thicker farther north. Depending on thickness and stitching, suits range from $240 to $385. Buy new―old wet suits tend to be leaky and cold. Depending on how cold the water is, you may also need wet-suit booties ($40) and gloves ($30).
Leash. Some experts don't wear a leash, but leashes are a must. Get a good one ($25).
Rash Guard. This soft (nylon or polypropylene) undergarment ($22 to $35) is worn under the wet suit to stop the rubber suit from rubbing directly on the skin and giving you rashes.

WHICH city has played host to the biggest AFL crowd outside Victoria this year? It's not Adelaide, home of the second-placed team on the ladder, nor is it Perth, whose flagship team West Coast have not been out of the eight all year.
Despite a howling gale so strong it could bring the surf to the city for today's famous run, more than 45,827 braved an unusually cold winter's night to support the team Swans marketers like to describe as ''Sydney's passion''.
These are heady days for the ''foreign'' football code in Sydney. Not since 2008, when the Swans were still riding the coat tails of the classes of 2005-06, has such a big crowd turned out for an AFL game in Sydney.
And there are more box-office spoils ahead for the Swans. The clash with Hawthorn in a fortnight is on the verge of a sell-out. Then, barring a meltdown by John Longmire's men in the following three weeks, should come at least two finals in September.
On the basis of what we saw last night they should have no trouble getting fans back through the turnstiles, for the game lived up to expectations. If anything it should have whetted their appetites.
Adam Goodes had foreshadowed earlier in the week that his team would get an early taste of the finals and, as is his way, he was proven right.
For two engrossing, tension-packed hours, both teams threw everything at each other and it could have continued well into the night if not for the final siren.
As well as the Swans have played at times during their winning streak, seldom have they felt a flame as fierce as that applied by the Magpies.
At a glance it seemed as if it was the ugly Swans of old - the side which for the past seven years have been lambs to the slaughter at the hands of the black and white army.
But that would be selling these Swans short for they are capable of playing at a frenetic pace, it's just Collingwood did not let them.
Theoretically, the larger ANZ Stadium should suit the Swans of 2012 more than the SCG but such was the pressure being applied by both sides. The 173 tackles laid, well above average, was testament to this.
As a result, stoppage followed stoppage as players from both sides threw themselves at the ball as if their season depended on each contest.
For a brief period in the third quarter it appeared as if the Swans had finally shaken off the Magpies. Nearly three goals in front, the Swans were starting to win the crucial contests. Logically, the Magpies would crack. They had lost star playmaker Dale Thomas early in the second quarter, which surely would have left them vulnerable.
Remembering Brownlow Medallist Dane Swan was already rubbed out, that meant they would have to reel in the ladder leaders without their two best midfielders. Swan's only contribution lay in a tweet, celebrating one of his replacements, Alan Didak, while bemoaning his own absence. ''It's a pleasure to sit and watch @dids-04 again… #thegreatmanisback #wouldntmindbeingouttherethough,'' he wrote.
Goals were few and far between, just 21 of them. The Swans could manage only one in the last quarter despite seemingly having the game played in their front half for long periods. ''To be able to regroup and dig in … it was a really strong performance from the group to be able to do that,'' said Collingwood coach Nathan Buckley.
In recent weeks, Sydney's stars have been able to deliver when required but last night they fired blanks. Lewis Jetta took the responsibility to put his side in front in time on but tugged a long shot wide. Goodes fared even worse, spraying his shot from outside 50 out on the full.
It was Travis Cloke who kicked the goal that gave the Pies breathing space. The omens were not positive when the banner marking Ben McGlynn's banner was torn to shreds as the Swans ran out. Fortunately for Sydney, they still have time to put their season back together.

Stress-Killing Exercises
By incorporating some stress-killing exercises into your workouts on a regular basis, you can reduce the negative impact exercise has on the body and progress faster since your recovery rate will be higher.
All of the following stress-killing exercises will either cause an endorphin release in the body, which helps to eliminate stress, or put the mind in a more relaxed state, reducing the tension you feel.
Kickboxing or boxingKickboxing classes are rapidly growing in popularity, and not only is this a great exercise to get in shape quickly, but it will only take minutes before the endorphin release kicks in. There are a variety of different styles including traditional kickboxing, jujitsu, Muay Thai, Taekwondo, kung fu, Judo, and Karate, so try a few classes to learn what you prefer.
This type of stress-killing exercise will also be good for boosting your flexibility and quickness, so if these are fitness components you want to work on, it will be a perfect fit.
High-intensity sprint trainingSprint training is another way to get endorphins circulating throughout the body very quickly. As you couple very high-intensity paced running with a light-walk period, you'll increase the heart rate, blood flow, oxygen uptake, and decrease any stress you might be feeling. Many individuals also find the higher-paced nature of this type of cardio great for blowing off anger as well. So if anger's what's at the heart of your stress, this should be the form of exercise you choose.
For best results, your high-intensity sessions should be performed for 15 to 20 minutes with intervals lasting between 30 and 60 seconds. Try to schedule these either at another time in the day from your lifting sessions or on a day you aren't lifting at all.
Deep breathingYoga is among the traditional stress-killing exercises, but if this is a form of exercise you're not all that interested in, the simple act of practicing deep breathing on a regular basis can prove to be beneficial.
This will work best if you find someplace quiet to sit and concentrate on your lungs expanding upward and outward as they fill with air. By turning your focus inward you reduce the focus on whatever is stressing you, placing you in a much calmer state.
These stress-killing exercises will keep you calm and in good shape...

Free Seeds
9 comments:
Must admit to not being a fan of free magazine seeds, They either come when we have bought all ours, or are the same varieties as we have already bought. They also often give more freebies to people who don't subscribe by post which is maybe why you have more in your magazine than advertised - it's to try and hook you in. As for the plant freebies inside - they make a free offer and then bang on postage which make the freebies less free, We are cancelling our magazine subs and the money we save which is considerable over the year will go towards buying what we want. Sorry rant over!!ReplyDelete
Yes I know what you mean. I used to get this mag years ago, but they get a bit samey after a while. I just pick up the odd one now and again. I'll hang on to these seeds for our next place. xxReplyDelete
Looks like you got a good deal on those seeds, I tend to get cuttings from friends and family and gifts of plants rather than buying many seedsReplyDelete
Got mine but it came with the courgette and cucumber seeds and gardening gloves! :) xReplyDelete
Thank you for letting us know Debbie!ReplyDelete

I planted seeds in my tubs instead of buying bedding plants this year, the marigolds and nasturtiums were so cheap from the local supermarket and have all germinated I can't wait until the flowers bloom. Sarah xReplyDelete
You got a lot of free seeds there!! I will look for this magazine too, thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete

Meredith College students Callie Buchert, Leah Jay, Ila Torfin and Lizzie Wood were selected to attend the Auschwitz Jewish Center (AJC) Program for Students Abroad in Krakow, Poland. The students are studying at Meredith's site in Sansepolcro, Italy this semester.
In its fourth semester, the program provides a scholarly learning environment through which students studying overseas engage intensively with the history of the Holocaust and Jewish life in Poland. Facilitated by American staff from the Museum of Jewish Heritage – A Living Memorial to the Holocaust in New York and Polish staff from the Auschwitz Jewish Center, the five-day program takes place during spring and fall semesters and is open to North American students studying abroad. Participants visit Krakow and Oœwiêcim (Auschwitz), work with scholars, take in-depth tours of Auschwitz-Birkenau, hear testimony, and engage in meaningful discussion.
The students have been writing about their experiences abroad in online journals for Meredith's website. Click here to read their journals.
Lizzie Wood wrote about her experience during the AJC Program.
"I felt as if I was trespassing while walking through these camps. I now know more than ever that this is sacred ground, and those who are able to visit it are among the lucky," Wood wrote. "We are lucky that we are privileged enough to see what happened to these people, and also lucky enough to be able to walk through the gates of the camp into our free lives whenever we please."
Four Meredith College students have previously participated in the program. Katy Cleary and Elizabeth Van Noppen went in Fall 2011, and Briana Karmini and Meredith Hyatt attended in Spring 2011. During Meredith's 2012 Celebrating Student Achievement Day, Cleary and Van Noppen presented research, "Coping and Resiliency Through the Eyes of a Holocaust Survivor," informed by their participation in the AJC Program.

text: After reading this thread I went out and drove an ST a couple weeks back. Great car, really enjoyed it. I couldn't ever buy one due to snow in my area, but I was really impressed with how quickly the turbo spooled and how well it handled - I expected it to have more body roll than my WRX with bars/links, but it had less. The interior was alright, nothing spectacular except the Recaro seats. It also has a great shifter with a pretty tight pattern. If you haven't gone out and driven one, I highly recommend it.

A Private Screening at Hong Kong Film Archive held by Leslie Legacy Association
|Story of an Island Lantau Island: City of Sand
|Director: Law Kai Yui - Producer: Cheung Man Yee - January 1981 - Cantonese - Colour Video 25 min
|Cast: Leslie Cheung, Lui Yu Kei, Leung Chung Yan
Four reckless youths, being raised in the city, having all the characteristics of a city dweller, one day went exploring Mount Phoenix in Lantau Island. Before setting off to Mount Phoenix to watch the sun rise, they came across a temple and experienced the life of a monk for one night. When they left the Island, they were filled with thoughts of different dimension of life.
|On the Crossroad Series: Woman at 33
|Director: Lee Yan Yu - May 1983 - Cantonese - Colour Video 25 min
|Cast: Cheng Pui Pui, Leslie Cheung, Lau Man Yee
Jenny (starring Cheng Pui Pui), a ballad teacher at age of 33, was divorced by her husband. Michael, nicknamed as Momo (starring Leslie), was a music composer. Jenny was Michaels private tutor when he was a young kid and it was Jenny who had helped Michael to realize his dream to become a music student. They met again when Michael went tuning the piano at Jennys school. She was mature and sophisticated which made her very attractive to Michael. However, the age difference in the eyes of Michaels peers had created a pressure on Jenny and she thought that it was impossible to go on with the relationship. Michael tried to convince Jenny that it is possible, with the same principal that she had once taught him to fight for ones ideology no matter what it takes...
|The Heritage Series: The Young Concubine (Wojia De Nüren)
|Director: Wong King-keung - April 1980 - Cantonese - Colour Video 85 min
|Cast: Chan yuk-kuen, Leslie Cheung, Wong Hak, Lee Ching-mai
Made in the 1980s for RTHKs The Heritage Series: The Young Concubine is almost like a prequel to many of Leslies later, more mature masterpieces. Scripted by Lilian Lee, who wrote the screenplay for Rouge and Farewell My Concubine, this anti-patriarchal melodrama casts Leslie as the progressive son of a feudal landlord in 1920s New Territories. When he sees his fathers concubine, with tragic consequences. Like Master 12 in Rouge, furtive desire is played with great subtlety, and already, Leslie has identified his forté in playing educated, well-groomed, sensitive but weak men unable to stand up to suffocating traditions and family pressures.
|Ashes to Ashes (Yan Fei Yan Mie)
|Dir/Scr: Leslie Cheung - 2000 - Cantonese - Colour 37min
|Cast: Leslie Cheung, Anita Mui, Karen Mok, Alexandra Wang
Leslies directorial début is an anti-smoking publicity film made for RTHK Radio 2 and the Hong Kong Council on Smoking and Health. Through his immense popularity, Cheung managed to assemble a phenomenal line-up of celebrities to appear on the set. Anita Mui, Karen Mok, Alexandra Wang, Super-model Qi Qi are just some of the big names queuing for the cameos. Cheung and Mui play a pair of high-flying, highly-stressed out showbiz executives who take their nicotine-stained lifestyles for granted until tragedy strikes their son. From the solid script, clean visuals and confident organisation of scenes and characters, there is a talented director in the making.
Dear friends,
Your beauty and wisdom grew with time and time is an ageless witness of your legacy.
These were the words we sent to our dearest Leslie along with the flowers that we sent him on April 1, 2004.
Indeed, it is his beauty and his wisdom that drew us to gather on the podium of the Jardine House in Central, Hong Kong, at 6:00 pm to share the unforgettable moment of 6:41pm., heart to heart, coast to coast, to remember our beloved Leslie how he lived on this earth. It is his wonderful legacy that had inspired us to present a screening of four RTHK films at the Hong Kong Film Archives on April 2.
Our decision to organize the two events just came around on February 22, 2004 and they were announced on February 24. So, please pardon us if things were not perfect as we worked on an extremely tight schedule. Our decision to organize the vigil and screening rested on only one simple reason: to take care of the fans who did not pay to join any particular event on April 1 and 2. We can hardly agree that only those who pay are entitled to pay respect to Leslie.
Please kindly allow us to express our heartiest gratitude to all the fans who attended the candle light vigil, to share the difficult moment of 6:41 pm with Leslie, the time that he needed us most. Please also allow us to say a big THANK YOU to members of '....' (a big group of fans from Guangzhou, China) who had given us tremendous support and help in these two events. It was with their help that we can distribute the candles, cups, printings on lyrics and eulogies so efficiently; and to keep the podium so clean and tidy.
Lastly, we must inform you that the Hong Kong Police had given us words that they were very much impressed by our high discipline, and more overwhelming is that the Jardine House management told us that they would help us to make every April 1 a special day for Leslie on their podium.
Yours truly, Leslie Legacy Association

Washington Mortgage Rates
June 28, 2017 01:36 PM Eastern
WA Mortgage Rates and Loan Programs for Residents
Washington is the northern-most continental state on the West Coast, and offers its residents a unique mixture of natural wilderness and metropolitan centers. Many major technology companies are based in Seattle and Vancouver, making these two cities famous for their advancements in technological fields.
Families and individuals who wish to live in this diverse state can benefit from a variety of programs. With homebuyer education programs and special rates, the dream of owning a home in Washington can be achieved by almost anyone.
Getting a Home Loan with Current Washington Mortgage Rates
The first step in obtaining a loan at current WA mortgage interest rates is to attend a free homebuyer education class. This education program is offered through, and sponsored by, the Washington State Housing Finance Commission.
The seminars present important information for future homebuyers. The seminars are designed to inform potential homebuyers of the financial obligations involved in buying and owning a home, as well as the home loan application process.
Understanding WA Mortgage Interest Rates with a Loan Officer
After attending a homebuyer education seminar, you are ready to work with a loan officer to obtain a first time homebuyer loan. The loan officer can help you understand WA mortgage interest rates in order to decide whether buying a home is right for you. If you determine that you are ready to become a homeowner, this officer will then assist you in finding the right loan program for you.
Two Loan Programs with Rates Lower Than Current WA Mortgage Interest Rates
Two loan programs offer low interest rates for new home buyers; these rates are often lower than current Washington mortgage interest rates. The Express Loan and the House Key State Bond programs, both available through the Washington State Housing Finance Commission, can help first time buyers successfully get into a home.
The Express Loan offers financing for a home purchase and down payment assistance for qualified buyers. In order to use this program, certain requirements must be met by applicants:
• The first mortgage must be obtained through a qualified lender.
• You must be buying in a targeted area or be a first-time homebuyer.
• Your purchase must meet an acquisition cost limit.
The House Key State Bond has three levels of financing based on your income, the purchase price of your home and the area you want to live in. Unlike the Express loan, it does not include financing for a down payment, but most loans have 30-year, fixed rate terms. This program includes:
• conventional loans
• FHA mortgages
• Rural Housing Services (RHS) loans
• VA mortgages

alright, heres your chance to smack me upside the head.
so i go to the bank to deposit the checks from agents to my office. and just for funsies i decided to open carry. so i'm standing in line when a lady approaches me and asks me to leave because 'weapons are not allowed'. i asked her if it was the policy of this particular bank, and she would not (could not?) say if it was law (which i know it isnt) or policy. but i was polite (as was she) and complied with her wishes.
i came back to the office (right across the parking lot), disarmed, did a quick check of the state laws to make sure i wasn't wrong, and went back to deposit the checks.
and i've just spent about the last hour studying the various laws and discovered that the prohibition of weapons (open or concealed) in financial institutions was repealed in 1998.
now heres where i need the help of everyone (please stop smacking me upside the head now, thank you! ) ; should i let it go at this? only carry concealed while in there? or should i deliver the following letter to the branch manager:
RE: Possession of weapons in a financial institution
On the afternoon of Thursday June 16, 2005, I was asked to leave the Wells Fargo branch on the corner of Minnesota and Benson Blvds by what I assume was a Security Manager, because I was lawfully carrying a holstered weapon on my hip, commonly referred to as 'open carry.'
The person I spoke with was very polite, and asked that I exit and leave my weapon in my vehicle. I asked a couple of questions, trying to ascertain if this was because of some unwritten policy, or perhaps a misinterpretation of law. Unfortunately no satisfactory answer was given.
I did comply however, and disarmed while doing my business in the bank. To make sure I wasnt breaking the law I did research the matter, and did discover that at one time, possession of a weapon (concealed or open) was unlawful while in a financial institution. This section of the law was repealed in 1998. There is no doubt in my mind that you will have this researched on your own to verify this.
I mentioned to the lady from security that if it is indeed mere policy of this particular bank, then the entrance to the bank does need to be posted with a sign stating such. There is a state statute that advises the sign be 12x12 and be placed in conspicuous places so that all who enter can see it.
Considering that Alaska has very common sense laws regarding firearms, and that open carry is indeed lawful anywhere that concealed carry is lawful, it would surprise me if the Wells Fargo financial institution does post a sign prohibiting weapons.
And the reason it would surprise me is that anyone with an ounce of common sense would realize that only those who are mindful of obeying the law would ever abide by this. Criminals know that much as well. A law-abiding person such as myself would follow the direction to be unarmed while in your institution, but a criminal will not.
I implore you to ask yourself What do I know about those who lawfully carry concealed (or openly for that matter) a weapon?
- Are you aware that permit-holders have submitted fingerprints to the State and undergone both state and federal background checks to ensure they have no criminal record?
- Are you aware that permit-holders have passed firearms training and know proper weapons handling?
- Are you aware that permit-holders have enjoyed the privilege of Alaskas laws regarding concealed carry and the justifiable use of deadly force fully explained by either a representative from the District Attorneys office or the Anchorage Police Department?
I do understand that a financial institution does have legitimate concerns to protect its interests from criminals, and this is where the apprehension of customers that are armed comes from. However the safety of the individual customer is compromised if they are expected to conduct their business without having the best means available to defend themselves at hand. Would Wells Fargos liability insurance cover a customer that gets mugged while leaving the bank and their weapon is not on them, but secured in their vehicle? Can Wells Fargo ensure my safety while I am disarmed and conducting business on their premises?
Please feel free to write me a letter if you wish to express the concerns of your financial institution regarding this matter.

When an employee has sexually harassed a co-worker, employers can avoid liability by acting fast to fix the situation as soon as they learn about it.
General rules: If an employee complains, investigate promptly. If the alleged harasser confesses, immediately take steps to end any further harassment.
Exactly what you should do depends on the severity of the harassment. You may want to fire the employee or try a lesser penalty such as suspension or demotion followed by training. If you have the ability to do so, you could transfer the harasser.
Regardless, your goal is to stop the harassment and keep it from recurring.
Recent case: Latia Jones worked as a private security guard at a federal building. She claimed a co-worker was harassing her, telling her he liked women her size and suggesting that the way she wore her pants was sexually provocative.
Jones filed a written complaint with the company, which investigated. The co-worker confessed and the company transferred him to another building.
No further harassment occurred, but Jones sued anyway.
She lost the harassment claim because her employer had acted promptly, effectively stopping the co-worker's harassment. (Jones v. Superior Protection Services, No. H-07-1355, SD TX, 2009)
Final note: The employer did the right thing in this case by transferring the harasser and not Jones. Nothing will spur a retaliation lawsuit faster than anything that smacks of punishing the victim. Transferring her, for example, may look like retaliation because a longer commute or unpleasant working conditions could dissuade a reasonable person from complaining. Transfers may be perceived as particularly difficult for single parents, who might have to change child care or school arrangements.

Boeuf à la Bourguignonne, or Beef Burgundy, was the most intensive recipe Iâve followed in awhile. If you are desperate to impress dinner guests, or your parents are coming to dinner, this is probably THE recipe to try. This one takes some time, though. Plan ahead, this can be done in advance, then reheated on the stove the day after. Or try it over the weekend. There are a lot of variations out on the internet, but I used Julia Childâs recipe. Here it is, I got a copy from http://www.savorsa.com/2009/08/julia-childs-recipe-for-boeuf-bourguignon/
Iâll just add my photos in between the directions.
Oh yea, and dinner was a success in that everyone got seconds, thirds, etc.
Boeuf à la Bourguignonne
Serves 6 people.
- A 6-ounce chunk of bacon
- A 9- to 10-inch fireproof casserole 3 inches deep
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or cooking oil
- A slotted spoon
- 3 pounds lean stewing beef cut into 2-inch cubes
- 1 sliced carrot
- 1 sliced onion
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 3 cups of a full-bodied young red wine, such as one of those suggested for serving, or a Chianti
- 2 to 3 cups brown beef stock or canned beef bouillon
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 2 cloves mashed garlic
- ½ teaspoon thyme
- A crumbled bay leaf
- The blanched bacon rind
- 18 to 24 small white onions, brown-braised in stock.**
- 1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup beef stock
- salt & fresh ground pepper
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 sprig thyme
- 2 sprigs parsley
- 1 pound fresh mushrooms, quartered
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Parsley sprigs
**If you cannot find pearl onions, just coarsely chop 3 medium onions.
Remove rind from chunk of bacon.
Cut bacon into lardons (sticks, ¼-inch thick and 1 1/2-inches long).
The image above shows a 12 ounce chunk of bacon. I only used 6 oz, the images below show that.
Simmer rind and bacon for 10 minutes in 1 ½ quarts of water. Drain and dry.
I threw the entire rind into simmer rather than cutting it in half. It will be discarded later on anywayâ¦
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Sauté the bacon in the oil over moderate heat for 2 to 3 minutes to brown lightly. Remove to the casserole dish with a slotted spoon. Set casserole aside. Reheat until fat is almost smoking before you sauté the beef.
Dry the beef in paper towels; it will not brown if it is damp. Sauté it, a few pieces at a time, in the hot oil and bacon fat until nicely browned on all sides. Add it to the bacon.
Be careful as the fat will cause splattering.
In the same fat, brown the vegetables (1 chopped onion, 1 chopped carrot). Pour out the sautéing fat.
You can add the vegetables to the stew pot now.
Return the beef and bacon to the casserole and toss with the salt and pepper. Then sprinkle on the flour. Set casserole uncovered in middle position of pre-heated oven for 4 minutes. Toss the meat and return to oven for 4 minutes more. (This browns the flour and covers the meat with a light crust.) Remove casserole, and *turn oven down to 325 degrees*.
*If you plan on cooking this on the stove, skip this step.
Stir in the wine (3 cups) and enough stock or bouillon (3 cups) so that the meat is barely covered.
Bottles can range anywhere from $5 and up. And I used Chicken broth because I didnât have beef broth. Still tasted great.
Add the tomato paste, garlic, herbs and bacon rind.
Bring to simmer on top of the stove. **Then cover the casserole and set in lower third of pre-heated oven. Regulate heat so liquid simmers very slowly for 2 ½ to 3 hours. The meat is done when a fork pierces it easily.
**I didnât have an oven-safe pot big enough for this stew, so I kept it simmering on low heat for 2 ½ to 3 hours, covered, it worked out very well.
While the beef is cooking, prepare the onions and mushrooms.
Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet and add the onions to the skillet. Sauté over medium heat for about ten minutes, rolling the onions about so they brown as evenly as possible, without breaking apart. Pour in the stock, season to taste, add the herbs, and cover. **Simmer over low heat for about 40 to 50 minutes until the onions are perfectly tender but retain their shape and the liquid has mostly evaporated. Remove the herbs and set the onions aside.
**Since I didnât have pearl onions, I sautéed the onions in butter on a skillet then poured some stock over them, simmering for about 5 minutes. Since they were chopped onions, only 5 minutes of cooking is needed rather than 40-50 minutes.
For the mushrooms, heat the butter and oil over high heat in a large skillet. As soon as the foam begins to subside add the mushrooms and toss and shake the pan for about five minutes. As soon as they have browned lightly, remove from heat. Set the mushrooms aside until needed.
When the meat is tender, pour the contents of the casserole into a sieve set over a saucepan. Wash out the casserole and return the beef and bacon to it. Distribute the cooked onions and mushrooms over the meat.
You can discard the bacon rind at this point.
Skim the fat off the sauce. Simmer sauce for a minute or two, skimming off additional fat as it rises. You should have about 2 ½ cups of sauce thick enough to coat a spoon lightly. If too thin, boil it down rapidly. If too thick, mix in a few tablespoons of stock or canned bouillon. Taste carefully for seasoning. Pour the sauce over the meat and vegetables. (Recipe may be completed in advance to this point.)
For immediate serving: Cover the casserole and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, basting the meat and vegetables with the sauce several times. Serve in its casserole, or arrange the stew on a platter surrounded with potatoes, noodles, or rice and decorated with parsley.
For later serving: When cold, cover and refrigerate. About 15 to 20 minutes before serving, bring to the simmer, cover and simmer very slowly for 10 minutes, occasionally basting the meat and vegetables with the sauce.
