by the complete ruin of the middle classes, whose money was principally invested in Government Bonds, mortgages, and other shares which lost all their value during the period of inflation. This was the origin of numerus clausus.
Incidentally, it was the present Premier, M. Goemboes, at that time the leader of the anti-Semitic Race Protectors' League, who, while Count Klebelsberg was being attacked by the Jewish Deputies and the representatives of liberal opinion for the anti-Semitic attitude, attacked Count Klebelsberg for his alleged leniency towards the Jews, and accused him in Parliament of evading the provisions of the numerus clausus law in favor of the Jewish students. The Jews, he said, must be kept severely within the bounds of the law, and no exceptions should be made in their favor.
The numerus clausus law in Hungary has since been modified but it has been pointed out in Parliament that even this amended and more liberal numerus clausus law allows for only seven per cent of Jewish students in Budapest, where the proportion of the Jewish population is 20 percent of the total.
To this complaint, the answer of Count Klebelsberg as Minister of Education, was that the numerus clausus could be abolished only gradually, and that any attempt to do away with it at one stroke would be impracticable, and would only rouse the impassioned opposition of the Christian students and their friends. A gradual abolition of the numerus clausus, carried out step by step, he said, is much more useful than would be a hurried measure seeking to abolish it at one stroke.
No one knows, he proceeded, what a fight was necessary before the religious paragraph in the numerus clausus law was removed. The numbers of Jewish students would also have been increased, he claimed, had the Opposition been more moderate and things would have gone much more smoothly.
By 1928, Count Klebelsberg's position on the Jewish question and the numerus clausus had undergfone a change, and in that year, when he initiated the movement which resulted in the modification of the numerus clausus law, he declared that the numerus clausus had done more harm than good to Hungary, acting like a back-firing rifle.
It had ranged the great world press and international opinion against Hungary, he said, and the regularly recurring attacks upon the Jews at the Hungarian High Schools had added to the force of the anti-Hungarian voices abroad. A further consequence, he went on, is that we make no progress with our complaints to the League of Nations, against the oppression of the Hungarian minorities in the new States. Whenever we complain of the treatment of the Hungarian minorities, we are reminded of our anti-Jewish laws.
Last year, when he was still in office as Minister of Education, Count Klebelsberg figured in a remarkable scene in Parliament, when he suddenly rounded on Deputy Rassay, the leader of the Liberal Party, who was complaining that his modified numerus clausus law, which is still in force now, was keeping intending students out of the universities. He jumped to his feet excitedly and shouted:
"I opposed it more than you did. You actually drafted a motion on the subject. I never brought it up against you before, but I must remind you now that you were one of the prime movers in bringing the numerus clausus about. I did not vote on the numerus clausus law."
"That is a very bold statement," Deputy Rassay retorted. "You exploited the numerus clausus law for propaganda purposes. I do not deny that in 1920 I adhered to the Christian policy, and that my party prepared the motion on this question. I have the moral strength, however, to have fought against the numerus clausus law ten years later, while you, Count Klebelsberg, posed in Liberal circles as an opponent of the law, and in Christian circles as a friend."

About the Book
Collecting and building model kits has been around for generations and became really popular in the 1950's when model kits were only about 60 cents. Through the 1950's to the late 1970's Aurora ruled the model world with not only their creations of airplanes but also the movie monsters. Through high demand of today's market of unassembled model kits the prices have skyrocketed. Because of companies like Mobeius and their attention to detail, we now have the chance to acquire exact reproductions of model kits from the 60's.
The offer their kits at affordable prices and new kits that collectors at one time only dreamed of owning or were forced to buy from ones that were created in peoples basements or garages . Now many collectors are able to relive their childhood and recreate models of yesteryear.
Collecting model kits is unique because although each model kit is basically the same when purchased it becomes unique through the artists interpretation with paint and creativity.
Through this book I hope you not only are able to recognize how collectable model kits are but to also appreciate the models artistic value and the great amount of time and love that went into each one. I truly hope you are able to enjoy my book as much as I had creating it. I look forward to creating new editions as I acquire additional models in the future.

Voyager BCN To DXB - Somewhat Underwhelmed: Voyager of the Seas Cruise Review by Sophiesnores
Overall Member Rating
Voyager BCN To DXB - Somewhat Underwhelmed
Destination: Other
Embarkation: Barcelona
The price dropped post booking so I took the opportunity to upgrade to PR promenade view cabin (7259) at a cost of £140 as I enjoy the parades but can never get a good view from the promenade, 7259 afforded a view of the bridge so I was all set for the parades.
I received notice of shop work on the promenade and was assured that this would not affect my cruise experience, also that the departure from BCN would be delayed to 10pm but that this too would not impact my cruise experience.
Here's the breakdown of my cruise experience:
Flight/transfer to ship - well organised
Check in - big queue for security, check in smooth, handed my card and told 'you are diamond, you know what to do'
Boarded (12:30ish) not a single welcome aboard!
No More 'Welcome Aboard Show' !!!
Dinner interrupted by Muster Drill (waiter said to come back for dessert but the table decided unfair to him)
No sail away party/band on deck, in fact I captured a photo of ship's photographers looking for the sail away party up by the Sky Bar!
View from cabin was of 'walk for wishes' treadmills/table and hoarding around shop
Shop work created a lot of dust/noise (how I wish I'd taken a photo of view from my cabin)
No DJ in nightclub! Was told one would come on in Alexandria but no joy. Music played from some tec's ipod! Couple of nights no disco lighting! Thank goodness I met a great crowd and we made do in the nightclub!
Cabin attendant/waiter v good. Cabin attendant mended my broken shoe :)
Had the diamond wine package, wine was awful, said I didn't like it but still had to have bottle/sign for it.
No parades! I paid £140 upgrade for PR view to watch parades! Complained to Guest Relations who said that there would be a parade on 3rd last night (which there was), that there was nothing they could do to compensate me for wasted upgrade and gave me $40 OBC for wine package issues in MDR. There was a good Dreamworks parade at the end of the cruise but it was obvious that it was a full dress rehearsal.
No Quest!!!!!!! Was so looking forward to it, had arranged on Cruise Critic for all us singles to go along together
Only 1 deck party (Safaga when all too tired from Luxor to join in)
Jimmy Rhodes, the elusive CD, barely seen, what does he do onboard? Needs training in my opinion.
Felt like a training/shakedown cruise for the Asian market. eg TV Theme Trivia being read by non English speakers who didn't understand what they were reading and were adamant that they wanted the artist/group for the answer not the show. So much confusion in all trivia!
Good food in MDR, great BBQs onboard
Bar staff very good
Met some fantastic people
Ice show and Diamond Ice Event FANTASTIC
Enjoyed ports of call and Suez transit
Disembarkation/excursion a nightmare! Queued at entrance to theatre, entertainment staff told those on B2B they didn't need passports and could go straight in but we were queuing for bus assignment! Passports in MDR, got pushed over by B2B queue jumpers! Needs to be better organised!
I've come home a real moaner! please don't flame me :)
Overall - ship in good condition for age, food as expected (good for mass banquet catering), weather fantastic, enjoyed ports of call, let down by entertainment experience and lack of feeling valued
Will cruise RCI again Less

As for the output...Ants are not all the same, not by a long shot...they are all in the same ball park and as for original PAF's you say they were "all over the place"...not true either...they were all different but they were for sure in a range...it's not like one would be 8k and one would be 5k...they were all int eh 8k range give or take a little. Ants are the same, even in a simlar range except the necks tend to be a little lower...

I only know buy what the S.D. sales rep told me on the phone. I had a conversation about the Ant's and Burstbuckers and the original PAF designs. And i asked him,are they uneven wound like the original PAF's and he replied they are evenly wound with aged mags and then built like the original PAF's with the wooden spacer and so forth. If you A/B any Ant's to a Burstbucker,you can hear the difference like night and day. Gibson will tell you flat out and you can hear it flat out that thry are unevenly wound pickups. Ant's do sound vintage but they dont have that open uneven chime and openess you hear in unevenly wound pickups.
Well if there unevenly wound,then they dont have much difference between the two coils. As Seymour Duncans website states,they have a slight variations in dc output. But thats different than having two completely unevenly wound coils. They just dont have that open alive, on the edge sound. They do sound more vintage than the Seth's but A/B them to a Burstbucker and you can hear it. And Burstbuckers are unevenly wound with unpolished mags and their dc ratings are all over the place from BB1,2,and 3.

I had 57 Classics in my 1986 Les Paul Custom. I hated them, though maybe it was the poor pots Gibson used as well. They were dull, lifeless, muddy. Maybe I got a bad set. I switched to EMG's which completely solved the problem, though now I'm thinking of re-qiring the guitar with some CTS pots, orange drops and '59's.
Maybe I just have a dark toned Les Paul that needs brighter pickups- which is what the EMG's helped with
TheArchitect, PAF's are machine wound. But they where not all stoped at the same wind per bobbin. They wound them until the bobbins were full making them uneven because each person that ran the machine stoped them at a different point. Do search on PAF windings,it will come up many times. As for my info on the Seth's,its directly from the the sales rep when i called them. Gibson will even tell you this info on PAF's. And i've been through the Gibson tour's in Tn and the luthers has stated the same thing as per the original PAF's.Thats why their trying to copy the original PAF's with their Burstbuckers which are unpolished,unevenly wound A2 pickups.
FWIW both leesona winders and the slug winder that Gibson used to wind Humbucker coils in the 1950's and early 1960's had pretty accurate counters.
The concept of "uneven wound coils" is describing the extreme minority of real pafs.
I've just changed the '57 classics out of my R.I all mahogany L.P as I thought that they lacked clarity in that particular guitar... but I think they would be good in a brighter sounding L.P std.

Considering the Seths are wound on the same machines as the real PAF's this claim doesn't really stand up.There both vintage style copies of the original PAF's but neither are right. They both have even wound coils with A2's. The original PAF's had uneven coils and sound more open and alive. Also the originals were never wound the same and the 57's and Seth's are machine wound production models. The 57's are wax potted and the Seth's are not. Unpotted pickups i think are closer to the originals.Both are great for modern vintage tones but not close enough for the real PAF tones.
If you like Burstbuckers more power to ya. Personally I think they blow
AFAIK, the winding machines used in the 50s were manually started and stopped. that's why the DC resistance readings on the PAFs were were all over the place. the machines didn't get automatic shut-off until '61. thats when the readings became consistent(around 7.5K).
2006 Gibson Custom '58 Reissue Les Paul
1991 Orville Les Paul Custom
2009 Squier Classic Vibe Stratocaster 50s
Bah, any humbucker around 8k of 42awg with an alnico 2, 3, 4, or 5 magnet is reasonably close to the PAF's. What's the point of looking at little details like whether a pickup is slightly mismatched, when potting and magnet type will make a far bigger difference anyway? Whenever someone says, "this is exactly a PAF", they automatically lose because PAF's weren't just one thing. For example, if you go out and buy a pair of Burstbuckers 1 & 2's thinking you're going to get Jimmy Page tones, that won't happen, because he used A5 PAF's.
And really, there are forum bro's on here who have owned multiple original Gibson PAF's, and who prefer Duncans to their original PAF's. So what's the point of setting up the PAF as some holy grail of tone? Many of them that I've heard haven't sounded as good as Seths, Antiquities, Burstbuckers, etc.

What matters is that a new PAF-type HB sounds good in your guitar.

The Central Christian boys soccer team went 13-5-3 last season, advancing to regional play for the first time in school history.
Orrville couldn't have been much more on the opposite end of the spectrum, going just 1-15-1.
So what did first-year Orrville coach Don Tkacz say to his Riders after they shocked Central Christian 2-1 under the lights at Red Rider Stadium Thursday?
"I told them Orrville has a soccer team this year," Tkacz said. "I think they're starting to believe it now.
"It couldn't have been pretty last year. I don't know what happened then, but everything's back to normal now. We're here, we can beat good teams and it should be an exciting season."
Orrville (3-1) had been beaten by Central Christian (0-3-1) in a preseason scrimmage, but still came into the game believing it could play with one of the most respected programs in the area.
Although the Red Riders were outshot 14-7, they did a better job finishing off their opportunities as senior Adam Milligan cashed in a goal in each of the two halves to provide all the offense they'd need.
Milligan didn't waste any time getting Orrville started, scoring off of an assist from freshman brother Andy just 3:45 into the game. Andy broke free in the middle and threaded a pass on the right wing to Adam, who fired a goal past Central keeper Kyle Beun.
That score stood up to give Orrville a 1-0 lead at the half after a physical, hotly contested final 36:15 which saw two Riders slapped with yellow cards.
Adam's second goal, which proved to be the game-winner, came 7:08 into the second half after slickly redirecting a header from Tim Richards near the top of the box. Jon Marcum started the play with a corner kick.
The two scores boosted Adam to an area-best eight points (6 goals, 2 points), while Andy's first-half assist gave him seven points (3 goals, 4 assists).
Wins over a first-year Louisville team and Hillsdale to open the year were nice, but beating CCHS ranked among the biggest wins in the six years Orrville has had soccer. For Adam Milligan, after years of wishing Orrville had a program that could win like Central's, it was a tremendous feeling to actually beat CCHS.
"This our first time ever beating Central," Milligan said. "It's a good rivalry and this was a good game.
"I think this is by far our best year and I think we have a real good shot at getting seeded for the playoffs."
As excited as Adam Milligan was, he wasn't completely surprised though.
"I believe it," he said. "I came into this game and I thought we could get a win.
"We scrimmaged them early in the season and we looked very bad. I thought it was a possibility they could come into this game overconfident and coach (Tkacz) prepared us well.
"We played Ashland last week, which is a very good program," Milligan said. "We lost 3-0, but we played them hard. We knew Central wasn't quite the team Ashland was, so we came into this one pretty confident that we could come out of here with a win."
Central created much better opportunities in the second half on offense, none better than Adam Miller's run at the 15-minute mark.
Miller beat a Rider defender at the top of the box and suddenly found himself one-on-one with Orrville keeper Pontus Rydstern (11 saves). However, Miller loaded up too hard on his shot from point-blank range and sent it flying high over the net.
"I've talked to (Miller) about those before," Central coach Dave Risser said. "All it takes is an easy touch and he's nailing it. ... We've got to stay positive and keep working at it.
"We tried a couple things tonight which I think gave us more chances on offense, but give Orrville credit. They played hard and they wanted this game and they said go for it."
Central's lone goal came with 1:02 left in the game under unusual circumstances set up an indirect kick from Scott Jaquet to Nate Hutson.
Rydstern, an exchange student from Sweden, had just made a save, but put the ball on the ground and then picked it back up for a punt.
Under soccer rules in many organizations, the pickup would have been allowed. However, under OHSAA rules it's considered a form of stalling and results in an indirect kick for the opposing team. Many of the Riders didn't know what was happening as Central set up quickly and went on the attack.
"That's my fault. I should have told (Rydstern) about that," said Tkacz, who added some referees won't put the ball in play as quickly as the crew working Thursday did. "Central did a good job getting started quickly. We didn't have time to get set up."
Risser, whose team started the season with high aspirations after moving from Div. II into the newly created Div. III, is far from pushing the panic button despite the slow start.
"That's quite a bit different from where we expected to be at this point in the season," Risser said. "We've been working at trying to play with more intensity.
"Tonight, in some respects, Orrville wanted it a little more than we did, but I felt we did have more chances on goal. Just a couple quick mistakes were enough to put us down."

text: By PAMELA SAMPSONBANGKOK (AP) â¿¿ Asian stock markets rose Thursday with the help of Japan's Nikkei 225, which was propelled higher by a weakening yen. A new bond-buying program by the U.S. Federal Reserve and commitment to keep interest rates low also soothed investor nerves about the state of the world's biggest economy. Following a two-day policy meeting, the Fed said Wednesday it will keep spending $85 billion a month on bond purchases to drive down long-term borrowing costs and stimulate economic growth. The Fed will spend $45 billion a month on long-term Treasury purchases to replace "Operation Twist," a previous bond-purchase program of an equal size. And it will keep buying $40 billion a month in mortgage bonds. Those purchases, and the Fed's revamped commitment to keep interest rates low until unemployment falls to a more normal level, are intended to spur borrowing and spending in an economy still growing only modestly since the financial crisis of 2008. Tokyo's Nikkei 225 index jumped 1.5 percent to 9,728.15 as the yen sank to an eight-month low against the dollar, a boost for Japan's export reliant economy. Hong Kong's Hang Seng was 0.1 percent higher at 22,530.20. South Korea's Kospi added 0.4 percent to 1,983.77. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 gained less than 0.1 percent at 4,587.50. Wall Street finished little changed despite the Fed's announcement as critical budget negotiations in Washington appear to have stalled. Without a budget agreement between President Barack Obama and Republican lawmakers, a combination of steep automatic tax hikes and government spending cuts will go into effect in 2013, threatening to throw the U.S. economy into recession. Even if an agreement can be reached, the halting pace of negotiations is jeopardizing chances that it could be written into proper legislative form and passed through both House and Senate before the new Congress convenes on Jan. 3.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 23/3/2009 (3069 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
I have finally managed to have some Excel spreadsheet fun with the annual expenses claimed by Manitoba's 14 elected MPs in 2007-08.
Every year the House of Commons produces a report listing what every MP spent on travel, office supplies, phone calls etc. There are limits to what they can spend on certain things and I find it interesting to see who spends what, on what and whose expenses change from year to year.
Hey Big Spender
Provencher MP Vic Toews (yes he is a cabinet minister but these are the expenses associated with his MP status and are separate and distinct from his cabinet minister bills and duties) is the winner here, spending $493,233.56. His expenses were up 12.54 per cent over the year before. It is worth noting here that Liberal Tina Keeper had the biggest increase in her expense bills, jumping 15.28 per cent. But more on that later. . .
Pat Martin, interestingly, fell from first place in 2006-07 to seventh in 2008-09. He was one of four MPs who overall expense claims went down, and with a drop of 3.47 per cent, Martin had the second biggest decrease in his bills. But more on that later too. . .
Counting every penny?
Perhaps the remaining Manitoba MPs will be happy to see the tail end of NDP MP Bill Blaikie, who was making them all look bad with his lean, green, non-spending habits. Blaikie came in with the lowest tally at $375,960 in 2007-08. He was the only MP to stay below $400,000 spending $31,950 less than Brian Pallister, who was the second lowest spender.
Have constituency. Will Travel.
Ah. Tina Keeper. No surprise that she spends the most here. ($38,068).The Churchill riding is the third largest geographically in Canada spanning 461,009 square kilometers. That's about 87 times the size of the city of Winnipeg. And almost 159 times the size of Pat Martin's riding, which at 29 square kilometers is the smallest of the Manitoba 14.
What is interesting to note is that Keeper's constituency travel claims soared 249 per cent in 2007-08.
This should not be surprising considering one of the biggest criticisms I heard about Keeper was that she didn't get out to her constituency that often, spent most of her time in Ottawa or Winnipeg and was leaving the people that voted for her, particularly aboriginals on northern reserves, feeling ignored. It was criticism supported by the figures, as she spent just $10,901 on constituency travel in 2006-07. The only MPs who spent less than that were those from Winnipeg, whose ridings are far more compact.
Perhaps Keeper heard and heeded the criticism as she certainly did seem to spend more to go around her riding, although these bills could have also been for her staff to go around the riding, not just Keeper herself. She also spent the most on advertising to her constituents, to let them know where she could be reached, what she had been up to, what she can help them do, and other constituency related messages. At $31,945, her ad budget also soared, this time 169 per cent. She spent just $11,857 the year before.
None of it was enough to help her cause however since she was defeated in the election in October by the NDP's Niki Ashton. I'll be interested to see how Ashton's first expense claims compare.
MPs must go home
MPs are allowed up to 64 return trips from Ottawa to their constituency, or anywhere else in Canada, during the year. Up to four of those trips can be to Washington, D.C. The travel claims also include meals and accommodation up to $24,480.
Ray Simard racked up the most in this column, $129,966. But that was down almost 2.5 per cent from the year before. It is interesting that 11 of the 14 MPs spent less on travel in 2007-08 than in 2006-07. Pat Martin's bills plummeted 19.92 per cent.
Could that be because Martin has for the last couple of years been called to defend the fact he was spending the most of his colleagues on travel, and was asked whether or not any of those trips were to get him to British Columbia where he owns a seasonal property on Salt Spring Island?
Entitled to their entitlements
I've always been annoyed by the category called "other" that seems to be included on any expense reports provided by
It's really hard to figure out what the heck the MPs are spending money on when all it says is "other." And since we can't get any more information on their expense claims unless each MP is willing to give it to us we'll never know.
In 2006-07, James Bezan claimed $8 in the other category kind of reminding me of the pack of gum David Dingwall got blasted for expensing. . .Nobody had claims that low this year. Anita Neville was the closest, claiming $36.
The only claims here which are understandably in the "other" category are those made by Steven Fletcher. The House of Commons pays for some of the costs to aide Fletcher in his job as the only MP who is a quadriplegic. So he claimed $314,542 in the "other" category.
That brought Fletcher's overall expenses technically higher than the other MPs but I don't think it's fair to use the costs to pay for aides to help him in the comparison to what other MPs are spending. So I took those costs out in the overall comparison charts. There are still ongoing debates about whether the House of Commons should be footing those bills or not. Fletcher himself wants Manitoba Public Insurance to pony up more and is awaiting a decision by the Supreme Court of Canada on whether they'll hear his case.
If you are really interested to see the expense claims in full the report can be found here.

Doorbell! Speculative Poetry Tucked into a Basket on Speculative Fiction's Front Porch
posted by Karen Burnham at Thursday 7 June 2012 @ 3:00 am BST
David C. Kopaska-Merkel is the editor and publisher of Dreams and Nightmares magazine.
Speculative poetry. What is it and does it matter?
If you know what speculative fiction is, and you know what poetry is, then you know what speculative poetry is, too. The medium goes back a ways. One can argue that Gilgamesh is the oldest known mythic poem. If we just want to look at the last hundred years or so, during which time the genre of science fiction was invented, we might notice that poetry has been there the whole time. Edgar Allan Poe? Fantasy and horror poetry is a significant part of his oeuvre. The same is true, to one degree or another, of HP Lovecraft, Roger Zelazny, Clark Ashton Smith, and others. Poems were published in pulp magazines, reprinted in collections, and accounted for a noticeable part of genre literature almost right from the beginning. Or maybe not so noticeable. More than once I've been reminded that a poem or poems were published in a given anthology, and I didn't remember them. Maybe the literary weight of a one-page poem in a 200-page book just doesn't move the scales.
Poems have been used to good effect within works of fiction. The Lord of the Rings comes to mind, and any fantasy book that includes spells in verse. Well, all right. But here the poem is little more than the framed picture on the wall of a house. You like to have it, but how much would you miss it if it wasn't there?
Well, wasn't this why I was asked to write this post in the first place? More importantly, is poetry as unimportant in the genre as my youthful reading experiences suggest? No. Nowadays, major science fiction and fantasy magazines routinely include poems. Many issues of Isaac Asimov's SF Magazine, for instance, contain multiple poems. The bounty of poetry in large-circulation genre magazines these days is in stark contrast to its scarcity a few decades ago. The increasing number of pages devoted to poems must reflect editorial awareness that people want to see them. If you look at the small press, both on the web and in print, poetry is even more abundant. Publications like Strange Horizons always include poetry. If you look for poetry markets at ralan.com or duotrope.com, you find scores of them. There are even quite a few poetry-only magazines, ranging from Goblin Fruit, to Mythic Delirium, to my own (Dreams and Nightmares), to the granddaddy of extant English-language speculative-poetry magazines, the Magazine of Speculative Poetry. This is no exhaustive list, but just these four publish well over 100 pages of genre poetry a year. These magazines are published year after year because people read them.
I would be remiss if I failed to mention that I am the current president of the Science Fiction Poetry Association. Founded in 1978 by Suzette Haden Elgin, the SFPA publishes a quarterly journal (Star*line), an online periodical (Eye To The Telescope), and two annual anthologies (Rhysling & Dwarf Stars). These are used to choose the best genre poems published each year, and the winners commonly appear in the Nebula anthology. The SFPA has about 250 members, and of course there are many genre poets who do not belong to the organization.
I think I have established that there are plenty of poets and that they read each other's work. I honestly don't know how many non-poets seek out genre poetry and read it with relish. Maybe people who fit in that category will be moved to comment on this post.
I haven't said half of what I wanted to, and I've used twice the requested number of words to do it. Perhaps I should have written this post as a succession of linked haiku!

I have just bought some sarah raven seedlings.
My previous plants have always become leggyand i have to stake them.
What do other gardeners do with there seedlings?
Advice please.
I have a MADAME ALDRED CARRIERE rose which has not been pruned for a couple of years.At the moment it is a big MESS.
I am confused at how much to remove.I have read in the Dr.DG Hessayon.The rose expert just to remove dead and exhausted wood.
I am in the south west the climate is mild not cold.
I have a 10 year old tree.The branches have grown to tall for me to reach the fruit without the step ladder.
At present next year fruit is at the top of the branches..
I am wondering what would happen if i cut the branches down to say half the length.
Would i destroy the tree?Stop any more fruit from growing
Or just stop any fruit for next year only.
Can anyone help please.
For anyone who missed it. Monty & Nigel were on the One show. If you are a Nigel fan it is a watch. Catch up on the I player

This week it is as someone has thrown a switch and everything in the veggie garden has come to an end all at once. Runner beans,cucumbers tomatoes beetroot. Also the sweetpeas have finished and cleared ready to plant again next year.
There is a reason for it, the weather in north cornwall has turned cold during the nights. Very heavy rain for 24 hours yesterday( i had the job of walking the dog twice and got soaked). Not wonder the plants have given up.
I cant complain has i have had a very good crop this year.
How are you getting on with the close of season.????????
Yes it does. Not a plant to fall out with. Very sharp points. My friend wont have one in her garden because of the dog chasing around. Fortunately mine is in the front garden when the dog is on the lead
My story of the agave plant. It was here when i bought the house 10 years ago.The age is about 15 years old. It has never flowered. I dont do anything with it.The height of the tallest leave is 3ft. It is very dangerous as each leave has really Sharp points all the way around. Fortunately it is in the front garden away from any children and dogs. I live in north cornwall, where the climate is wet and not very cold in the winter.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 22/11/2012 (1734 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
TORONTO -- Pfizer Canada is cutting the price of Viagra, bringing the cost in line with generic versions of the erectile dysfunction drug.
The price drop follows a ruling from the Supreme Court of Canada earlier this month that invalidated the Viagra patent held by the pharmaceutical giant.
"We are committed to ensuring that Viagra patients can continue to have access to the original brand at a competitive price," said spokeswoman Julie-Catherine Racine.
For a package of four Viagra pills, with each pill at 100 milligrams, the new price is about $37, she said. The price had been about $49.
The new prices are now in effect, she added.
The Nov. 8 decision by the high court threw open Canada's market for generic erectile dysfunction drugs.
The Supreme Court, in an unanimous 7-0 ruling, annulled Pfizer's Viagra patent, saying it tried to "game" the Canadian system.
The high court sided with Teva Canada's challenge of the legitimacy of the patent, paving the way for generic versions.
The decision has big implications for users of erectile dysfunction drugs and the pharmaceutical industry because it allows companies to create generic versions, which are usually cheaper for consumers.
Pfizer obtained the patent in 1998 after applying four years earlier. It was first challenged by the generic drug maker in 2007.
Teva originally questioned Pfizer's patent in Federal Court and the Federal Court of Appeal, but lost at both levels.
The ruling wiped out Pfizer's market dominance with Viagra. Its patent had been scheduled to expire in 2014.

After declaring to the whole world (or those who bother to read my blog :-P) that I don't like chocolate cakes, I have to eat my words and let you know what I did today - I had four of these chocolate cupcakes in the span of half a day. (gasp!)
I baked these cupcakes for my hubby who is a big fan of chocolate desserts, and also to take part in TWD this week. As some of the participants commented that the cakes are too dry, I made sure that mine won't dry out by monitoring the baking time closely, and I pulled out both trays of cakes at exactly 22 minutes. The cupcakes turned out great, soft and moist, and REALLY yummy.
After having the fourth one, I packed the rest of the cakes up, and just like the fate of this cake, they will end up in the tummies of my hubby's colleagues tomorrow. ;-)
I guess you might notice that the fondant flowers did not stick to the ganache. I should've arrange the flowers right after the ganache was piped to the cakes, but I put them aside to set up my tripod instead. Probably due to the aircon in the kitchen, the ganache has turned hard by the time I was done. So I had to let the flowers "sat" on the ganache while I took pictures of the cakes, and hoping that they won't drop at the same time. The fondant are not meant to be eaten anyway, and I like how my cupcakes look with the little flowers.

Beautiful cupcakes and beautiful photos. Lots of fun comments with good friends. Yippee!! A tri-pod sounds like a great idea for this new blogger. Thanks for the idea. I've read other places that you can give your ganache a blast from a hair dryer to sort of warm it up and make it shine. So so so....wonder if that would make it sort of help your fondant flowers stick? Might be worth a try sometime. Although I know one doesn't really partake in the painstaking work it takes to create them by eating the beauties. oops

Hi Kitchen Corner,
Yes, the cupcakes can be stored in the fridge. Before serving, just warm up in the microwave oven for about 10 seconds, and the cupcakes are soft and fluffy again.
As for the glaze on the cupcake, the recipe is also provided in the link I provided. :-)

I'm a bit confuse of the original recipe for the chocolate glaze. I saw your cupcakes topping more like chocolate garnache. Kindly advise please. Many thanks!
- 9/11/2009 05:32:00 pm
- Piggy said...
Hi Kitchen Corner,
The recipe provided in the link was copied directly from the book. It is called "glaze" in the recipe, but at the same time, the author of the book also described it as "ganache".
- 9/11/2009 10:22:00 pm
- Kitchen Corner said...
Hi Piggy,
Thanks very much for clarify! When you mentioned the cupcakes can be stored in the fridge, do you mean store the cupcakes which fill with the garnache? Can I warm the cupcakes topped with chocolate garnache in the oven as well?
- 9/12/2009 09:21:00 am
- Piggy said...
Hi Kitchen Corner,
Yes, to both of your questions. Just to clarify, I warmed the cupcakes in the microwave, instead of the oven which is used for baking cakes. I hope I don't confuse you further. :-P

The couple are still busy house hunting and have not yet decided on whether to buy a house in the U.S. or in the U.K.
Despite media claims to the contrary, Nicole Scherzinger and Lewis Hamilton are still together and even planning to move in together soon. The lovers, who recently were reported to have broken up, have been busy house hunting but not yet decided on whether to buy a property in the U.S. or in the U.K.
Revealing her plan to live together with her F1 ace boyfriend during the MTV's VMAs Sunday, September 7, The Pussycat Dolls member made no secret of her love for him, telling the press that she loves his English accent. Feeling excited about the plan, the songbird however insisted that she and Lewis have not yet had wedding plans. "A wedding isn't in the pipeline," so she claimed.
Nicole's statement on her plan to live together with Lewis has thus quashed rumors that their relationship is over. Talks were loud in July that they split after she publicly stated that she's taking a break from their romance to concentrate on her career. "I am returning to the States to work on my new single and album," Nicole said at that time, adding "Lewis will be focusing on racing. I don't think we'll have much time to see each other before Christmas."
Showing the world that her love for Lewis even grows stronger, Nicole reportedly also has penned a song for him, titled "I Think I'm In Love". Having no hesitancy to talk about it, she said "It is a very personal song. It's very in-depth and emotional - a real song that I know is going to connect with people."

About Put-in-Bay Island
Your perfect Put-in-Bay Island getaway is waiting for you.
Put-in-Bay is a quaint village located on South Bass Island in Put-in-Bay Township, Ottawa County, Ohio, United States. Many people believe that the name originates from some early maps of South Bass Island that showed the main harbor being named Pudding Bay, probably because it was shaped like a pudding sack used by sailors. The official population was 128 as of the 2000 census. Put-in-Bay played a significant role in the War of 1812 as the location of the squadron of U.S. naval commander Oliver Hazard Perry, who sailed from the port on September 10, 1813 to engage a British naval squadron just north of the island in the famous Battle of Lake Erie. Put-in-Bay is a popular summer resort and recreational destination. Ferry service connects the community with Catawba Island, Kelleys Island, Port Clinton, Loraine, and Sandusky, Ohio.
A vacation packed full of Island adventure
The island's primary industry is currently tourism and for most of its history has been tourism. The tourist season runs roughly between April and October with peak visitation in July. The most common methods of transportation to and from the island are via ferry boat, propeller-driven aircraft and private boat. Boat docks and a municipal airport service visitors daily.
Take a deep, warm Island breath
Visitors step back in time with Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry to learn about the Battle of Lake Erie at Perry's Victory and International Peace Memorial Visitors Center and the Lake Erie Islands Historical Society Museum. Come and explore the world's largest geode at Heineman's Crystal Cave or discover South Bass Island's underground river, lake and tour at Perry's Cave Amusement Complex. Honeymooners and romantics take in the magnificence of our island sunsets while strolling along the walks and pathways of our beautiful downtown harbor and DeRivera park area. Weekday and weekend boaters can dock in the heart of it all at a number of public and private docks and are just steps away from fabulous boutiques, excellent restaurants, live entertainment and spirited taverns. Families and visitors will also have the opportunity to enjoy a multitude of other attractions including Heineman's winery, The Butterfly House, putt-putt golf, historical homes & tours, the Chocolate Museum, wildlife museum, an antique carousel, a nine hole par-3 golf course, multiple jet-ski rentals, boat rentals, parasailing, kayaking, and the Put-in-Bay Resort's Convention Center.

Greetings to the Dear Readers from St. Louis, where the Penguins and Blues are set for what folks on both sides keep calling a "big game." It would be a lot bigger game if it opened a series in June, but for now…
A look at the Penguins' forwards and defensemen during their AM practice:
= The defense pairings were a bit jumbled with Paul Martin, who coach Dan Bylsma said will not play against the Blues. Martin had not practiced Friday.
Deryk Engelland, used mostly as a checking-line forward the last few weeks, worked in a rotation with the Penguins' five other healthy full-time defensemen (Letang, Orpik, Niskanen, Maatta and Bortuzzo).
= RW James Neal (upper body) rotated line shifts with Bennett, who is set to play for the first time since Oct. 12. Bennett had been out with a lower-body injury.
Neal, out since Oct. 3, is working toward a potential return next week – though, the Penguins have not identified when he will play.
"I don't have to show anything," Neal said. "If I'm ready, I'm ready. I need to be as close to game shape as possible."
Neal noted his summer workouts, which had him feeling better physically than to start any season, as being especially helpful right now.
"You obviously lose (conditioning when injured)," he said. "But I feel like there's an ability to get back a little quicker."
= Josh Yohe on the Olympics preview in this game: http://triblive.com/sports/penguins/5018238-74/crosby-backes-game#axzz2kBJe2AM7
Coming Sunday as part of #TribHKY coverage:
= As Hall-of-Fame immortality calls, Brendan Shanahan chaces something even more meaningful as head of NHL Player Safety.
= The Insider: Blues Russian sniper Vladimir Tarasenko isn't thinking about the Olympics. Right, and he didn't want to catch up with Evgeni Malkin, either.
= Yohe on What To Watch.
= The never-to-be-missed AHL Penguins notes from Jonathan Bombulie.
= Also, Rossi is in St. Louis with regular game coverage
Radio/TV appearances for Saturday and Sunday:
Rossi: SATURDAY – Root Sports Pittsburgh Penguins Pregame (7:45 p.m.); SUNDAY – Subway Final Word (after late local news, WPXI)

INDIANAPOLIS -- Richie Hearn took in last year's Indianapolis 500 from a bar in Lime Rock, Conn. He was a lousy drinking buddy.
"I wasn't a happy guy to be with. The people with me were like, 'Man, you've got to go back there,'" Hearn said.
Hearn had run at Indy in 2005 and six times altogether dating to 1996, but a year ago the opportunities for a ride had dried out. So he stuck to his day job, which on Memorial Day weekend 2006 meant running his Formula BMW team far away from Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
This year, he just couldn't stand it. So the 36-year-old, in his words, "put the truck driver in charge" of Hearn Motorsports and bought a one-way ticket from his home in Las Vegas to Indianapolis, joining the annual club of drivers looking for employment in the month of May.
It's not a glamorous life, trolling Gasoline Alley for work. Hearn said it was a week of bumming places to stay with friends and eating hospitality-tent food, interrupted by stints on pit road watching enviously.
"It's hard not to be a grumpy guy in the pits, you don't like watching other people having fun doing what they're doing," Hearn said. "You want to be out there."
His story found a happy ending. Hearn landed a ride late in the week in Jon Herb's backup car with Hemelgarn/Racing Professionals, then Sunday, he practiced for the first time and successfully qualified the car 32nd -- all within a four-hour span.
"We taped it up and put on new tires and just went out there," Hearn said.
From there, experience took over. That's what got the phone call, even though Hearn brought no sponsorship dollars to the table. It's what Hearn knew would make a difference, having experience but also simply being around to take advantage of an opportunity.
"Sometimes it's just being in the right place at the right time. That's why you have to be here. Look at Roberto [Moreno, subbing for injured Stephan Gregoire], if he wasn't here, he wouldn't be in that car," Hearn said. "Ron [Hemelgarn] had my number, I had run for him a couple years ago, the last time I drove a Dallara [chassis]. He said, 'Hey, this is what I'm thinking of doing, what's your plan?'
"You've got to put yourself out there; I told him I would be there either way. I had my medical [exam] done, I was ready to go from [last] Saturday on."
The team was late in forming, so late that when Hearn qualified Sunday, there were no official team hats for pictures and interviews. He wore a 2004 Indianapolis 500 hat for his first round of interviews, then had a 2007 model later in a news conference.
He can be forgiven. Outside of the occasional go-kart race ("I don't really count that," he said), Hearn had not raced anything since the 2005 Indy 500. He was miles out of the open-wheel loop, but when offered the chance, he made the most of it.
"One thing about this place, it rewards experience," said Hearn, whose best finishes in those six starts at Indy are third and sixth. "People will look at me because I've had some decent success here, they know I can get it in. That's what I hoped would happen."
Elsewhere in the field
The majority of the first-weekend qualifiers took advantage of good weather Sunday to put in a final full day of practice. Ganassi Racing's duo led the way, with Dan Wheldon claiming the day's top speed at 222.797 mph, with Scott Dixon close behind at 222.779.
Ryan Briscoe had an especially busy weekend, driving his primary and backup Luczo Dragon Racing cars Sunday. On Saturday in Tooele, Utah, he teamed with Sascha Maassen to win the American Le Mans Series' Utah Grand Prix. He took a red-eye flight from Salt Lake City to Indianapolis on Saturday night.
Only one more hour of practice -- at Friday's Carb Day -- will be available to the field before the 91st Indianapolis 500.
Thirty-four drivers made a total of 60 qualifying attempts during the two weekends of qualifying. The field's qualifying average is 222.505 mph. It's the seventh-closest matched field by time in race history, as 5.0207 seconds separate pole sitter Helio Castroneves from slowest qualifier Marty Roth. The record is 3.2422 seconds in 2001. This year's two-driver rookie class (Milka Duno and Phil Giebler) is the smallest since 1979. There are 30 Dallara chassis and three Panoz chassis in the field. All are powered by Honda engines.

text: currently i'm looking to change the golf, which I said around a year ago when considering an A3 .. which I didn't like as the seats were hard. Anyway i'm looking at the previous generation A6 with the 2.5 auto, but can I find many on an 04 plate ?? most are the 1.9's but I feel this would be to small to pull a big car. I've considered the new model but most that are in my budget are the 2.0 and manual and I really think I should be looking at auto's. I've driven the D5 Volvo S60 Auto and despite the badge I liked it, so what are peoples suggestions/for's/against for the A6

Temporomandibular Joint and Muscle Disorder–type Pain in US Adults: The National Health Interview Survey
Umo Isong, BDS, MPH, PhD/Stuart A. Gansky, MS, DrPH/Octavia Plesh, DDS, MS
An earlier version of this research was presented at the 84th General Session of the International Association for Dental Research, Brisbane, Australia July 1, 2006.
Aims: To compare prevalences of self-reported temporomandibular joint and muscle disorders (TMJMD)-type pain in the 2002 US National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) by age and gender for non-Hispanic whites (Caucasians) and non-Hispanic blacks (African Americans). Methods: Data from the 2002 NHIS included information on gender, age, race, ethnicity, education, and TMJMD-type pain. Rao-Scott survey chi-square and survey logistic regression analyses using sampling weights and accounting for the complex design were used to analyze variables relating to prevalences. Results: A total of 30,978 people, 17,498 females and 13,480 males, 20,389 non-Hispanic whites and 4,179 non-Hispanic blacks, were included. The overall prevalence of TMJMD-type pain was 4.6%, with 6.3% for women and 2.8% for men. However, based on age, a significant but modest racial/ethnic difference emerged after adjusting for socioeconomic status. For non-Hispanic white women up to age 50, the prevalence was ~7% to 8%, but it decreased after age 55. Non-Hispanic black women had much lower prevalence at younger ages (~4% at 25 to 34 years), which increased thereafter up to 55 to 64 years of age. A similar racial pattern seemed to emerge for non-Hispanic black men, with the lowest prevalence at ages 25 to 34 years, while non-Hispanic white men had higher prevalences. Overall, however, age seemed to play more of a role in women than men. Conclusion: This is the first report of findings from a nationally representative US sample for TMJMD-type pain by age and race/ethnicity. TMJMD-type pain differed significantly by race, age, and gender after adjusting for socioeconomic status. J Orofac Pain 2008;22:317–322
Key words: age, gender, health disparity, prevalence, race/ethnicity, self-report, temporomandibular joint disorders

Permitting Mad Dog Saloon to move into a strip mall at 68th and State streets would put public safety and the success of the grocery store next door at risk, the Plan Commission ruled Monday night
The panel unanimously voted to deny a request by Dominic Lalicata to open Mad Dog Saloon in the building that houses Applebee's, 6750 W. State St. However, the plan is not dead because the commission only has advisory power. The Community Development Committee is the next stop Feb. 22.
If patrons who have imbibed in alcohol drive through the busy parking lot shared by Metcalfe's Market, it could result in disaster, commissioners said Monday night.
The shopping carts, cars backing in and out and parents with young children in tow are the norm in the lot that sees peak business of 300 to 400 customers per hour between 4 and 8 p.m. Friday and up to 7 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays, said grocery store owner Kevin Metcalfe.
Those busy times overlap with the 6 to 7 p.m. period that Rebecca Boyle, attorney for Mad Dog, called prime time for the bar.
Boyle tried to show Mad Dog is not too different from Applebee's. She didn't expect to see a greater need for parking since the building footprint and capacity would not change.
Metcalfe said they didn't believe this was a restaurant that would be putting an emphasis on food. While there was much speculation among attendees as to what kind of problems permitting the saloon to move in would cause, he saw the potential impact on his business as the biggest threat.
"Any perception of trouble is going to become a reality when people decide to shop somewhere else, Metcalfe said.

WE bring you everything you need to know about the first Test between the Wallabies and Les Bleus.
WHAT, WHERE AND WHEN: Australia v France, Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane, 8.05pm (AEST) Saturday
FORM GUIDE: Australian WWWWL, France LWLWW
MATCH ODDS: (sportingbet.com.au) Australia $1.18, France $5.00 (correct as at 1pm 5/6)
After powering through 16 straight weeks of Super Rugby the June Test series has arrived in a hurry as the northern hemisphere elite head south in search of rare victories.
France are back in Australia for the first time since 2008 and while they won the last fixture between the two sides in Paris two years ago, they're without a win Down Under in 24 years. There's not a lot to suggest that will change either.
At the end of a long season following the Top 14, Heineken Cup, Six Nations and last year's November Tests, few could begrudge Les Bleus for having an eye on a couple of months rest at Biarritz. But it's no different for the likes of the Wallabies, Springboks and All Blacks who all round out their seasons with tough tours of Europe at the end of the year. In other words — it's time the Six Nations sides aimed up down south.
There's no shortage of quality in this French squad but they will miss inspirational skipper Thierry Dusautoir who has been ruled out of Saturday's first Test. The man who gave the Wallabies all kinds of grief at the Stade de France in 2012, Louis Picamoles, is also out with injury.
Veteran No. 10 Frederic Michalak has been recalled at flyhalf yet again and in the likes of Wesley Fofana and Gael Fickou there's enough raw talent to suggest they'll play with some trademark flair.
The Wallabies meanwhile have had to make do with a short preparation after Ewen McKenzie's squad gathered together on the Gold Coast last Sunday.
Hoping to use the momentum of last year's spring tour, McKenzie has added six new faces to the team that defeated Wales in Cardiff in December including a Test debut for Brumbies giant Sam Carter.
All eyes however will be on the fledgling halves combination of Nic White and Bernard Foley who have both been rewarded for some outstanding Super Rugby form.
There are just 14 international caps between them and Foley is yet to play any Test rugby at No. 10 yet McKenzie has backed them to do the job ahead of proven stars Will Genia and Kurtley Beale.
The Wallabies have been installed as heavy favourites and while the French have had the benefit of the more recent international action, Les Bleus are likely to play their best rugby in a week's time.
Sekope Kepu v Thomas Domingo
A perennial French strength, the tourists will again look to assert their dominance at scrum time with Thomas Domingo sure to apply plenty of pressure from loose-head.
Lining up at tight-head for the Wallabies is Sekope Kepu who despite spending plenty of time on the bench at the Waratahs, again finds himself packing down alongside Moore and James Slipper at Test level.
The 38-Test New Zealand-born prop has been well below his best in 2014 but with Ben Alexander resting a nerve injury, McKenzie was left with a choice between Kepu and fellow Tahs teammates Paddy Ryan.
The French have long prided themselves on a dominant scrum and in Domingo they have a player who can again cause plenty of problems for Kepu and the Wallaby pack.
Bernard Foley v Frederic Michalak
Waratahs star Foley has been given first shot at the Wallabies No. 10 jersey vacated by injured ace Quade Cooper.
Foley has earned his first Test start — following five caps as a substitute last year — off the back of a brilliant start to 2014 with the Waratahs.
A similar style of playmaker to Cooper, Foley will be looking to recreate the form that has seen him spark a brilliant Tahs attack with 10 line-break creates and six try assists.
Ewen McKenzie will also be banking on Foley continuing his brilliant combination with Israel Folau, to give the Wallabies X-factor as much ball as possible, as often as possible.
On the other side of the field will be the veteran Michalak, who's set to line up for his first Test for Les Bleus in a year.
The silky-skilled Frenchman hasn't played any rugby at all in a month, warming the bench at his club Toulon behind English great Jonny Wilkinson, and only arrived in Australia on Tuesday.
He's been around the international scene since 2001, and he'll need to call on all that experience to guide Les Bleus around the park and unleash try-scoring threats like Wesley Fofana and Gael Fickou outside him.
"We know against France you have to deal with the physical part of the game. You've got to say, 'You've come to our country!' You have to be able to compete with them physically and impose yourself on them but skill in using your backs, we want that to be part of the solution. We want to score tries. We're not going to play field position and wait for penalties. We're not going to go there." - Ewen McKenzie on his side's attacking approach.
"Fred has not had much playing time in recent weeks, but we feel he is happy to be here. He was given a video of the Australian defence when he was on a plane to join us, and I know he really wants to play. This is someone who has played the Super 15 and is used to jet lag. He is the only Top 14 finalist starting the first Test, but he is also the only one who was not invested in his team in the final." - France coach Philippe Saint-Andre on Frederic Michalak's inclusion.

My friends would describe me as a sweet, honest, and reliable person with a wild side.
Traveling is another one of my loves, especially to explore different cultures, architecture, and beautiful landscapes. I like trying new things and I am always looking for a fun adventure! In a trip to Croatia I had an interesting experience while rowing to a nearby island that involved a locked motor, and a broken ore! At least I was able to laugh about it then and now; and it helped to make an unforgettable trip!
I am from the Midwest originally, Madison, WI. I feel that family is important; I am very close with my family even though they live far away. I have made some wonderful friends here, though, they mean a lot to me because they are my second family.
I moved to San Francisco over eleven years ago and I love it! I still have many places in California I would love to visit as well. It would be fun to have someone to play tourist with me! I enjoy going wine tasting, hiking, camping, and kayaking, to name a few.
Since I am an active person I am looking for someone who leads an active lifestyle as well. It would be great to find someone I could go for a run in the park with or travel to a new destination. Chemistry of course is important, I feel I am a passionate person and I would like to share that with someone who has a similar zest for life! I also like to laugh, so finding somebody who can make me laugh and knows how to just enjoy the moment means a lot.
Some of my favorite local places are: Golden Gate Park, Mt. Tam, Rodeo Beach, Marin Headlands, Lands End, Academy of Sciences, de Young Museum, Nopalito, Inner Fog Wine Bar, and Arizmendi. I enjoy long weekend trips to Yosemite and Healdsburg. I like to go out with my friends to more low-key laid back type of bars, or wine bars. My favorite vacation was hiking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu.
Some of my favorite moves are Stranger than Fiction, Immortal Beloved, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Silence of the Lambs, Star Wars, Singles, Up, Shrek, and Pretty in Pink.
As far as music goes I like a variety including One Republic, Killers, Mumford & Sons, Fun, Lumineers, R.E.M., Elvis Costello, No Doubt, Pearl Jam, Imagine Dragons, The Velvet Underground, Train, Tom Waits, U2, Violent Femmes, Coldplay, Bodeans, Cake, The Psychedelic Furs, Goo Goo Dolls, Travis, Fat Boy Slim, Echo & The Bunnymen, Colbie Caillat, The Cure, and Pink... to name a few.
For food, I enjoy spicy food, Thai, Indian, Burmese, Vietnamese, Peruvian, Mexican, as well as sushi and some good pasta, especially for carbo loading. I like to keep it interesting and love trying new places.

External Overview
The NZXT Tempest EVO is an upgraded version of the original Tempest. Some features in the upgrade are a black internal paint job, smoked window, better cable management, vented expansion covers, white fan blades, and additional watercooling holes. I've been using the original Tempest for my rig ever since I reviewed it nearly two years ago. I was very happy with the original, but when I got a hold of the EVO I had to switch my system over to it.
The front panel, composed of plastic, has nine external 5.25" bays with wire mesh covers. Two almost triangular pieces stick out on either side of the front panel with one side having slits in it for HDD activity LEDs and both having acrylic slits down the side for blue LED luminance.
On the top of the case rests a flat surface about the size of a normal hand. Beyond this mark are the easy access ports which include two USB, an eSATA, and audio/mic jacks in addition to the power and reset buttons. Further back on the raised area houses two 120mm exhaust fans with white fan blades all being protected by a black wire mesh.
The side window panel is made of a smoked acrylic and has a trapezoidal shape. A 120mm blue LED fan rests on the left side of the window.
The back panel, unlike the original Tempest, is completely black. Some new features added are the four water cooling holes and mesh expansion slots. Like most cases the Tempest EVO includes a rear 120mm exhaust fan.
The four water cooling holes are up from the two from the original Tempest. Of course this case has a bottom mounted power supply.
Both side panels are secured by the two thumb screws that hold them to the case.

When you enter the "donut hole," prescriptions can become prohibitively expensive. But changing insurers won't help; the hole comes from Medicare, and although the Affordable Care Act will eventually do away with it, boomers are stuck with it until 2020. Continue reading

With rising up-front deductibles and widening coverage gaps, Medicare beneficiaries search for plans that will include their prescription drugs. A report looks at the changing Medicare benefits and what reforms newly elected Democrats may pursue. Continue reading

Merit Badge Challenge is available to all registered Boy Scouts. This popular event improves advancement for all attending troops/crews and provides our youth the opportunity to explore vocations and new hobbies.Each Scout has the opportunity to earn up to three merit badges. Emphasis is placed on those merit badges that lend themselves to an indoor or wintertime activity such as Chemistry, Law, Computers, Communication, and Citizenship badges. Various class schedules and merit badge availability will be posted here for each of the venues on October 17th. Scouts/Units may register through the links at the top of this page starting on November 14th. This website will also include the necessary Pre-work for Merit Badges, responses to Frequently-Asked-Questions, and a copy of the registration forms. Use the class schedule matrix to help plan out your various sessions (posted Oct. 17th).Attendance at each location is limited based on the fire capacity codes for each school. Therefore the registration at one or more schools may close out before the published Registration deadline. Attendance and availability of Merit Badges is limited. So early registration is strongly recommended.Registration for all sites will close on December 18th or when each site is full.
Each Section below is available in the full packet download above. These parts will be published here individually for download on 10/17/16.
*Please note that some Merit Badges require up to 3 months of pre-work and tracking.

"The Great Dr. David Jeremiah"
Yes 100%
Dr. David Jeremiah is a gifted Pastor and great teacher of the faith that I would recommend to anyone from any denomination.<br/>I am a Catholic and I find his sermons and delivery method to be of great comfort. I have listened to this audio book twice now and I expect to listen to it again and again, it has helped me tremendously during a time in my life where I have lost everyone that meant something in my life and when my only refuge is in the the promises of our Lord and my hope that I may get closer to him via prayer.This book will inspire you to pray, to seek God and to become a better Christian.Thank you Dr. Jeremiah.
"Very inspiring"
Just what I needed to hear. It's a great reminder about the importance of prayer.

At 1.35 she say a sentence in French : Voulez-vous couchez avec moi ? In english, that means : do you want to have sex with me ? She ask this immediatly after removing her panty :-) Her beautiful pussy is a very good reason to answer YES to that question :-) For those who hesitate (if any), she gave us another very good reason to say YES. She remove her bra and show us her lovely boobs :-) I wish she ask me that question for real :-)
