8 Shopping Amazing shopping Strolling round Middelburg takes you past the most unexpected little shops in a background which is imposing and historic. Aside from the usual Dutch department stores, the international chains and everyday shops, you will find that Middelburg is full of trend-setting specialty shops, tiny boutiques, antique and curiosity shops, antiquarian bookshops and art galleries. Give way to the temptation of enticing side streets, of inviting café terraces, pleasing display windows in hidden squares, charming courtyards and narrow alleys. The shopping route below will help you to plan your stroll. De Markt/The Marketplace is the town s central heart. A weekly market is held here on Thursdays, but it is just as lively on the other days - a bustling square, its terraces full of people, the square fulfilling its task as the starting and end point of all the leading shopping streets. Begin your Middelburg walk of discovery in front of what must surely be the most beautiful town hall in The Netherlands. Directly on your right, you walk into the Vlasmarkt.Veilinghuis Witte, at number 11, has a lovely collection of art and antiques, lots of Judgendstil/Art Nouveau and Art Deco, ranging from clocks to glass and stoneware. Are you more interested in a bargain? Try your luck at number 34, where they have reasonably priced china, glass and stoneware from all the well-known brands like Wedgewood and Arabia. At the end of Vlasmarkt, opposite the Braai-Tapperij De Mug, you cannot miss the beauty of historic Huize s-hertogenbosch. It dates from 1665 and the name Laurentius is painted in graceful letters on its door. It used to be a private residence, but now houses a shop selling prints & engravings run by Theo Laurentius, known for his appearances on the TV programme Tussen Kunst & Kitsch (the Dutch version of The Antiques Road Show). Across the street from Laurentius, at Kromme Weele 13, you can rummage around in De Jaren, where you will find furniture and accessories from the fifties. Now walk in the direction of Langeviele, where you turn right. Once upon a time, it was the street where everyone did their daily shopping, but nowadays it is a merry mixture of specialty shops, varying from with-it clothing boutiques to design furniture and gift shops. At the end of Langeviele, Sarah beckons your interest to have a look in an attractive little shop, filled with antiques, curiosa and handicrafts. You then retrace your steps, until the first street on your right is the Lange Geere, with The Kitsch Company at number 6. If you are looking for something original from faraway in the category gotta-havethat, you are likely to find it at Reize Ors, a colourful little shop on the Korte Geere. At the corner which meets Gortstraat, at number 28, you will see Haar van Boven & Zij van Beneden (literally: Hair Upstairs & Her Downstairs). It s a truly surprising 8
9 Des magasins surprenants Si vous venez faire du shopping à Middelburg, vous découvrirez de surprenants magasins dans un décor monumental impressionnant. Outre les grands magasins bien connus, les succursales de chaînes mondiales et les magasins ordinaires, vous ferez la découverte de magasins spécialisés, petites boutiques, antiquaires et galeries qui donnent le ton. Laissez-vous séduire par les ruelles attirantes, les terrasses sympathiques, les jolis étalages sur des places à l écart des grandes rues, les cours animées et les venelles. L itinéraire présenté ci-dessous vous sera très utile. CONSEILS Un grand nombre de galeries, ateliers, antiquaires et institutions culturelles sont ouverts le premier dimanche de chaque mois. Les heures d ouverture et des informations plus détaillées figurent sur l Itinéraire Art et culture (Kunst & Cultuurroute), que vous pouvez notamment vous procurer auprès du Tourist Shop, sur la place du Marché (Markt 65c).

10 Shopping combination. At street level you have furniture, lighting and accessories in a myriad designs, while upstairs there is a hairdresser s and make-up studio. Amusing and colourful earthenware can be found in the ceramics shop, which has its own pottery attached, in the Zusterstraat, number 6c. If you are searching for unusual clothing, it is waiting for you at the Splendid boutique. Are you a book lover? Don t forget to have a look around in De Drvkkery. You can hardly miss its enormous bulging glass frontage on Markt 15. Winner of the Best Shop in The Netherlands award in the year 2000, De Drvkkery is at the same time the meeting place and stage for the people of Zeeland, presenting often-changing exhibitions and a wide variety of activities. The Lange Delft street houses a chain of well-known and less known shops and department stores, but shoe freaks will spot that Zoey, at the beginning of Sint Janstraat, is the place to be! The Sint Janstraat leads to the 16th century Vismarkt/The Fish Market, a picturesque little square which provides the perfect setting for a rummage-sale market on the first Saturday of every month. There, at the corner adjoining the Turfkaai, you will see Galerie T, where a look at its sculpture garden is an absolute must. Now take the Herenstraat but don t miss De Pagter antiques shop on the way to take you back to the Lange Delft. The Korte Delft leads you to Damplein/Dam Square. Cross over it and, at number 9, there is the Kite Gallery and its Juggling Store waiting for you, with colourful kites and jugglers equipment. Leaving the Korte Delft, you turn right into the Reigerstraat and, suddenly, you are face to face with the Lange Jan tower. You will find it hard to resist the café terrace at the foot of the 91 metres high tower. Of course you don t have to stop there, especially if you are still searching for a suitable souvenir to take home later. In that case, stroll along the Nieuwe Burg, Middelburg s second-to-none fashion street with all its trendy boutiques, and return to the Markt. Go into number 23 and buy yourself a tin of the delicious and unique Zeeland butterscotch: enjoy! TIPS A good many of Middelburg s galleries, artists studios, antiquarian bookstores and other cultural institutions are open on the first Sunday of every month.

14 Monuments Middelburg: monumental town In the 9th century, when the Vikings made the European coasts thoroughly unsafe, three defence strongholds were built on the island of Walcheren: Domburg in the north, Souburg in the south and one in the middle: Middelburg. A small village community sprang up around this stronghold, and the monastery which was founded there in the 12th century developed into the largest in the whole region. Thanks to the monastery and the community s favourable position at the water s edge, the importance of Middelburg quickly blossomed. Middelburg was granted its official town charter in the year Middelburg s first Golden Age took place in the Middle Ages. Starting in the late 16th century, trading activities expanded all the way to the Far East, later also to Central and South America. Middelburg gained great riches through its powerful role in the East India Company/VOC. The citizens who shared in this wealth and welfare had beautiful houses built for them in prominent locations. Even to this day, the merchants sumptuous residences, for instance along the Londensekaai and Middelburg: une ville aux nombreux monuments Au 9ème siècle, pour contrer les Vikings qui menaçaient les côtes européennes, l on construisit trois châteaux forts sur l île de Walcheren: l un à Domburg, au nord, un autre à Souburg, au sud et un troisième à Middelburg, au centre. Une petite communauté villageoise se forma autour de la citadelle de Middelburg; un couvent fut fondé au 12ème siècle et devint la plus grande abbaye de la région. L importance de Middelburg grandit rapidement, grâce à son couvent et à sa situation propice au bord de l eau. La ville de Middelburg obtint ses franchises en the Rouaansekaai, set the tone in that part of the town. May 17th, 1940 was an infamous and black day in the history of Middelburg: the town was badly damaged by a German bombardment. Many monumental buildings were lost, including a large part of the Town Hall and the Abbey. Luckily, Middelburg has been able to retain its historic character, thanks to an immense renovation and restoration project. The town still exudes the atmosphere of the Golden Age and, as well as all the registered monuments, offers a wide range of hidden pearls which are well worth discovering. TIPS Would you like to have a look inside the impressive Town Hall? The Tourist Shop organises tours through the Town Hall on a daily basis. Refer to the service pages for the contact details. 14
15 The Town Hall The Abbey buildings 15

17 Middelburg features among the top 10 towns on the national list of monuments and historic buildings. Amazingly, in spite of the wartime devastation, there are no fewer than 1,100 protected monuments in the centre of the town. To give you a taste of all the historic beauty Middelburg has to offer, we ll guide you along a number of famous and less known monuments. The undisputed and glorious centre point is the Gothic town hall, on the Markt. This is where we begin a monumental tour through the town. The Lange Jan tower TIPS It s a mighty long climb, 207 steps to be exact, but the view you gain over the town when you stand at the top is more than worthwhile all the effort. You can obtain more information, about climbing the Lange Jan, from the Tourist Shop or from Miniature Walcheren. The Keldermans, a renowned family of master builders (from Mechelen in Belgium), were responsible for having the first stone of a new Town Hall laid in Its façade is richly decorated with carvings showing counts and countesses of Holland and Zeeland. The Abbey tower, nicknamed the Lange Jan/Long John, literally towers above everything else with its 91 metres. Take the Kelderman Street or the Nieuwe Burg, and you will reach the Abbey complex. It is the only abbey in The Netherlands which is established in a town. A lot of building and rebuilding work has been carried out on the Abbey, since it was established in the 12th century. When you enter through the imposing gateway and stroll through its present-day grounds, the great open courtyard, the Abbey tower and the three churches, you are discovering in the centre of the town a complex which is absolutely unique in The Netherlands. The best way for the visitor to exit is via the 16th century Gistpoort/Gist Gate. Middelburg has a fine meshwork of streets, incorporating narrow alleys, unexpected gateways, concealed courtyards and little squares. Those are the spots where you will discover 17
18 Monuments The East Church TIPS The Drvkkery has recently published a literary walker s route through the centre of the town, for instance passing houses lived in by famous writers and poets. The route can be obtained from De Drykkery on the Markt, or from the Tourist Shop. Middelburg s hidden treasures! On your right, on the Damplein, next to the Chocolaterie Burger on the Korte Delft number 6, lies one of those unnoticeable alleys. Walk through the gateway and you find yourself in an inner courtyard and then in the Bellinkstraat. It was completely renovated in the 1970s and is still one of the towns absolute jewels. At the end of the street, you turn left so that you can enjoy looking at Rouaansekade number 23, a special piece of monumental Middelburg, because the narrow alley on your left leads you to the famed Kuiperspoort/ Coopers Gateway. The coopers guild was situated here in the 17th century and was a flourishing tradesmen s association, because barrels and tubs were extensively used as packaging in those days. As you stroll through the quaint system of lanes, you see old warehouses, beautifully restored houses, step-gabled roofs, hidden corners and unexpected view-holes. If you keep going on the left, you will come to the Dam, where there are many mighty monumental buildings. Just before reaching Damplein, you turn right. There on the corner of Spuistraat, is a Gothic corner house with a remarkable overhanging side wall. Follow the Molstraat and the Pijpstraat, so that you walk to the left into the Schuitvlotstraat. This is where you get a perfect view of the Oostkerk/ East Church in all its glory. This richly decorated Baroque, domed church dating from 1667 was the first Protestant church in Middelburg and one of the very first domed churches in The Netherlands. Once past the church, you turn left into the Verwerijstraat and then again left. The beautifully restored houses in the Koepoortstraat are perfect models of a renovation project. The first street on your right is now the Spanjaardstraat, which is Middelburg s leading monument street par excellence. See how many of the hidden alleys and back streets you can discover! The Spanjaardstraat ends in the Balans, a name which reminds us of the weighing scale which stood here until the end of Middelburg s coat of arms - a golden fortress on a red field - can be 18
19 Slot Ter Hooge seen in the reconstructed façade of the Sint Jorisdoelen. Continue your stroll along the Wagenaarstraat, where number 1 is an enormous mansion dating from On your right, via Achter het Hofplein, you get a good view through to the Gothic wooden façade of the Sint Pieter house: it originally came from the Lange Delft, but has been stuck onto the side wall here. The Van de Perrehuis stands proudly on the Hofplein. It is a remarkable building, with a characteristic concave main façade, the house being named after the first owner of this former 18th century town palace, the wealthy Van de Perre. The Zeeland Archives are at present housed here, after the building had been thoroughly renovated and a daringly-designed transparent extra space added. TIPS The Van de Perre House s new building and its exhibition premises are open to the public without charge. During Open Monuments Day (this falls on September 13th in 2003), the old part of the house can also be visited free of charge. Visits by groups are possible throughout the year, arranged through the Zeeland Bureau for Tourism. A number of monumental houses, the former homes of eminent Middelburgers, still stands on the Lange Noordstraat. At the beginning of the 17th century, the renowned poet Jacob Cats lived at number 31 and, a few houses further on, De Twee Pyramiden was, at the end of the 17th century, the residence of Jacob Roggeveen, who discovered Easter Island. 19

Song to listen to while reading this chapter: "Waking The Demon" by Audiomachine
Well damn, that went better than I expected.
So we start off with Yhwach being a prick and more reaction shots from around the realms, comprising about 3 pages. It's Keigo, Mizuiro, some 'Soldat scrubs, and Bazz-B, who's looking awfully lanky today. Of course, the Humans are still confused as to why there are earthquakes happening, and the Quincies realize they've been betrayed. Classic, really.
Onto the meat of the chapter. Ukitake is indeed using Kamikake (comments' prediction #1 correct) to replace the Soul King (comments' prediction #2 correct). However, in doing so, we get quite a bit of backstory. Turns out, when Ukitake was 3, he contracted a fatal lung disease (which makes it all the more likely that it WAS TB)that turned his hair white. No one could cure it, so his parents took him to a shrine and, well...prayed to what amounts to a pagan god for help. Said god, the titular Mimihagi, who is also the Soul King's right hand, took Ukitake's lungs away, allowing him to live and become a Shinigami. Of course, that resulted in a whole lot of blood coughed up and days on a sickbed, but it's k because divine intervention.
Back in the present, Ukitake is completing the Kamikake, which is actually the process of Mimihagi taking the rest of his body and his life in exchange for filling Mimihagi's right hand position. This results in Ukitake gaining
a really fancy floral tattoo the Kamikake on his chest and the shadow rocketing into the sky as Ukitake screams in pain before it cuts to black. How pleasant.
But wait, we're not done yet, no sirree. Shunsui's in Muken, and as he notes that the tremors are somehow hitting him even here, he calls out to the one you've all been waiting for - AIZEN SOUSUKE.
All in all, a very solid chapter. It seems a lot of people in the comments were right about this being a way to prevent the realms' destruction by replacing the king, and it was nice to get a bit more backstory for Ukitake, as well as a reason behind his "sickness". Also, apparently people can be born from parents in the Rukongai. That's a surprise.

1. Find out exactly where the leak is. Fill a spray bottle with a mixture of soap and water and spray it liberally on the bumper ball along the seams. You will notice that the solution starts to bubble up where the leak is located, so take note of the position of the hole.
2. Prepare the hole for patching. Dry the seam off, and make sure that it is completely deflated before attempting to patch the seam. If you have the patch kit that came with the bumper ball, you can use the prep solution to thoroughly clean the rubber before proceeding. Rubbing alcohol also works.
3. Apply plumber's glue to the seam and let it dry for about 15minutes. If possible, apply some glue to the inside of the seam as well, so that it spreads out and gives an extra layer of protection when the bumper ball pressurizes.
4. Fill the bumper ball about halfway with air and wait another 30 minutes or so to make sure that the glue has dried completely.
5. Inflate the item completely and spray it again with the soap and water mixture to make sure that the hole is indeed fixed.

The Egg Stand
Posted by Devin
As many of you know, we started raising chickens for eggs in our backyard last Spring. Our boys quickly fell in love with our 8 little chicks and we discovered that chickens are really fun pets to have! The whole family has enjoyed watching them grow and playing with them in the yard, it has been such a fun project with the boys.
But somehow or other we quickly went from 8 chickens to 21! That's right, 21! We became the official chicken adoption family of the neighborhood and ended up taking in an extra 13 chickens. Whoa! We had plenty of room in our coop and plenty of boys to help take care and love on the extra chickens, but what, we asked ourselves, were we going to do with all of the eggs from so many chickens?! And that's when we had the idea for The Egg Stand. We decided to let the boys start their own little business selling the extra eggs. What a great opportunity to teach the boys about money, hard work, and running a business.
We bought the boys a little notebook to keep track of their sales and expenditures. It's awesome watching Connor (the self proclaimed money manager) learn how to balance a budget and keep track of an income. We also registered the boys with our state's Department of Agriculture to be official egg sellers and got signed on with a local Farmer's Market so they can have their own stand this Fall through Spring to sell their eggs. We can't wait!
We have been collecting egg cartons and the boys are now painting and decorating them to use for selling. After the cartons have been painted, they add a sticker with a custom stamp we got from Tiny Prints!
The custom stamp adds the perfect touch to their little egg cartons. It reads "The Egg Stand - Eggs From Chickens Who Are Loved - 85326." I love that they get to have their business slogan on there along with our zip code (got to represent, right?). The self-inking feature is awesome and the stamp design is just so cute! We plan on using the stamp for little business cards when the boys go to the market, as well.

At OLA we believe strongly in the value of co-education. In the modern world, the majority of schools have embraced this model as the natural environment for educating children and, as a consequence, the number of single sex schools remaining is relatively few.
There are some very good reasons for this. The aim of any good school is to prepare its students for the world beyond the classroom and in that world it has been the case for many years that men and women work and study together. In our view, the sooner that process starts the better. Educating boys and girls together advances their emotional well-being and ensures that, when they leave school, they become happy and well-adjusted members of society, able to live and work with all manner of people. To this extent, single sex education is a legacy of the past.
Many studies conducted over the last half century have shown that, on academic grounds, there are no reasons for choosing a single-sex school over co-education.
Research commissioned by the Head Masters' Conference in 2006, which looked at academic performance right across the world, came to this very conclusion. A more selective intake might mean that one school appears higher up a league table than another, but this has nothing to do with the gender mix of the pupils. Other research has shown that boys and girls benefit from a variety of learning styles and that separating them does not assist the learning experience.
There are also good social reasons for choosing a mixed school such as OLA. Friendships have the chance to develop very naturally here, with the vast majority of classes, activities and clubs giving the boys and girls the opportunity to mix and get to know each other together. This family atmosphere allows pupils of both sexes to express their views confidently in an environment that mirrors what happens in the outside world. Co-education at OLA helps to break down any misconceptions each sex may have about the other and provides an excellent foundation for the development of realistic, meaningful and lasting relationships in later life.
The teaching of academic subjects invariably allows for classroom discussion and debate, and in a co-educational school both the female and male perspectives can be equally heard. This makes for the best possible learning experience for all. Pupils learn that 'equality' does not mean 'sameness' and that men and women often have different perspectives on the same issues, with each having a great deal to offer the other. In short, at OLA we believe that co-education makes for a civilised, balanced environment where all pupils can flourish and be well prepared for university and the world beyond. As such, it offers considerable advantages and should be a key consideration for any parent considering a school for their child.

So, I just moved to Hutchinson, Kansas a little over two months ago. Locally, I'm rather impressed with Allie's Deli. Sandy (the owner) makes a mean quiche and even meaner raspberry white chocolate scones. The scones and muffins are always fabulous there. You can get a scone and small house coffee for $2.46. Seriously, the scones are decadent. They're crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. If you can make it before 8:00 am, they're usually warm, too.
I've tried the Blue Duck Bistro for lunch and dinner. Lunch was good, but unremarkable. I had a french dip sandwich that was kind of bland. The homemade chips were delicious though. When I went for dinner, it was incredibly slow (Thursday after Christmas). My waiter was very attentive, but the rest of the waistaff/barstaff seemed a little clueless. My dinner (half roast duck with mushroom sauce, polenta, and broccoli) was very tasty. The polenta and the mushroom sauce were fabulous. The broccoli was very plain, but, well, I guess that's the nature of broccoli. I've heard rumours of the Blue Duck closing though. I think they've been open about a year. Lunch is fairly affordable, but dinner seems to be a bit pricy for a town the size of Hutch (most entrees are more than $20).
Also, the decor is very feminine while the menu tends to be on the hearty or masculine side. It just seems like the decor and the food are a bit at odds with eachother. It's just pink enough, that if I were a man I'd feel slightly uncomfortable eating there.
When I had a delayed flight out of ICT last Saturday, I headed to Old Town for breakfast. I stopped by Soleil on Douglas (formerly Java Nation, the owner said). I had a very tasty apple and brie crepe and turkish coffee. The food was filling with a little flair, and the staff was very friendly.
That's what I've discovered so far. So now I'm reaching out to the food community in South Central Kansas. What's good? What's not? What's worth the drive? What's the best dive? I like all types of food and I'm always looking for something new.

The Red Curtain (or referred by some as the Soviet Wall and formerly known as Stalin Wall) was a heavily fortified, military wall built by Soviet Union after the Great War that greatly expand across the Russian-European border. In the aftermath of the Great War, Soviet Union was on the brink of numerous unrest and turmoil, and bearing uneasy foreign relations with Western Europe. The unrest reached its peak in August 1925 when several anti-communist terrorist bombing occur within Russia. By a month later, in September, the Soviet government began the construction of the Red Curtain with barbed wires before being finally reinforced with solid concrete by 1930.Construction was later led by the Soviet Defense Mandate.
Work began on the system in the 1920s to protect the USSR against attacks from the West. The wall was made up of concrete bunkers and gun emplacements, somewhat similar to, the Maginot Line. The first fortifications built were not a continuous line of defense along the entire border, but rather a network of fortified regions, meant to channel potential invaders along certain corridors. By 1939, the wall stretched from the Baltic Sea to the Carpathian Mountains. It was made up of thirteen fortified regions, most covering about 100 km of the border. It was a part of the larger Soviet defense network along its western borders, stretching from the Arctic Ocean to the Black Sea.
Each fortified region (in Russian ukreplennyi raion, or UR) consisted of a large number of concrete bunkers (pillboxes) armed with machine guns, antitank guns and artillery. The bunkers were built in groups for mutual support, each group forming a centre of resistance. A dedicated military unit was permanently assigned to man each region.
In the aftermath of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, with the westward expansion of the USSR in 1939 and 1940 into Poland, the Baltic, and Bessarabia, the decision was made to expand the wall with constructing the Molotov Line further west, along the new border of the USSR. A number of Soviet generals felt that it would be better to keep both lines and to have a defence in depth, but this conflicted with the pre-World War II Soviet military doctrine. When Vichy France attacked the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941 during the course of Operation Charlemagne, most of the line was not yet finished, and hence posed a negligible obstacle to the invading forces. Only the four northernmost regions, completed, were able to hamper the advance of the French Army for a few weeks.

Tasting Notes: Mezcalero #17
The latest in Craft Distillers' Mezcalero line which delivers extremely small production batches from a variety of locations around Oaxaca.
The details:
– Location: San Baltazar Guélavila
– Agave: Cultivated espadín and agave de lumbre
– Maestro Mescalero: Cirilo Hernández
– Quantity: 184 cases / 1104 bottles
– Distillation Date: March 2014
– Bottled: June 2015.
The background:
These are the sort of one off distillations that used to define mezcal so this series is something of a relic of another era and testament to all the riches that remain. As I've said before, the mere existence of Mezcalero is fantastic, the fact that they continue to produce such high quality mezcals so consistently is even better. Read more

How to Make a simple cross joint
In this tutorial, we learn how to make a simple cross joint. To make this, you will need: 3 grape swishers, 1 steel grinder, swisher splitter, scissors, tobacco. Now, split the empty swisher and cut a little bit off one end of the swisher. Next, you will cut a hold in the middle of the shorter blunt. Then, put the holes together and line them up so you get good air flow. It should look like a cross. Finally, you will put the tobacco inside of it and roll it together. After this you can smoke it, enjoy and be responsible!

For some guys - no matter how amateur they might be - it doesn't take much for them to get their cocks fully hard and ready for action. Alex from You Love Jack is certainly in that group. In fact, from the moment he pulled his thick, 7 inch dick out of his boxer shorts he was raring to go. Alex is also quite a perverted fucker too and loves to finger his tight man hole while beating off. It's almost like he wants us to see right inside. Well I would imagine it would feel amazing with your cock up that sweet ass. This boy is blessed with a nice, taut athletic body too as you can see. Once he's fully undressed and showing off that physique, he beats his man meat until his cum load just has to be released. Check out the mess he made of himself in the last pic. Tasty!
