The Gorge de Galamus is quite awesome and must be fun to ride a bike through, if you aren't afraid of falling off cliffs. At the end I stopped in a little cleared parking lot and saw a sign - I think it said "Chapel" or something else nondescript, so I walked over to where the trees were and saw there was a little trail going down the hill. It was a very old hermitage, now a tourist attraction. In this it was typically French: if you don't find it or know it's there, you don't deserve to see it, because we're not going to put up a sign. I passed a statue of Mary and baby Jesus, and came upon this headstone, or memorial, which I believe commemorates Brother Pierre, who died of hunger there in 1870.
Lousy resolution. I had a shop digitize these pics, and they did a terrible job, but I wanted to put it up here.

As the dollar collapses, the affect it will have to the 'man on the street' at best will be a substantially lowered standard of living — or at worst it will be a complete economic collapse as the $hit hits the fan while we fall off the cliff into complete and utter social chaos.
I am self-taught in economics out of an interest in self preservation. You see – a number of years ago I took 'the red pill' – and as the veneer of the sugar-coated main-stream financial news propaganda was peeled back to reveal the true predicament of our rigged systems, I instantly became a Prepper.
Over these years I have spent countless hours devouring alternative sources of news and financial-economics information – from all angles and from many viewpoints – in order to self-educate enough to get a 'gut' instinct – to establish my own opinion as to what is 'real' with regards to the systems that govern and influence our daily lives, be it directly or indirectly.
What I have learned has not made it easier to sleep at night.
What does enable me to sleep better at night are the many aspects of my preparedness – because I strongly believe that during our lifetime we may be drawing on those preps while we struggle to keep our heads above water after some sort of collapse (which may occur quickly, or may continue slowly but surely).
Our current economic condition and decay cannot be hidden and propped up for much longer. One day we will face it and fully reap what we've sowed. When that day comes, everyone will know that the $hit has hit the fan. There will be no doubt.
One of the people who I respect for his knowledge and opinion is Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, former assistant secretary of the Treasury of the United States. He speaks in a very candid and logical way, having a lifetime of global economic experience under his belt.
When I watched and listened to the following interview of Roberts and Greg Hunter of USAWatchdog.com, I felt as though Roberts was speaking the exact words of my own opinion and reaffirming what I've learned myself regarding the current economic predicaments that we're in with regards to the dollar and current events which are (and will) take it down.
I couldn't agree more with what he is saying, and I'm posting it here for your interest (if you're interested in such things).
Roberts speaks about the current manipulation of the price of gold by the FED and the central banks, and discusses the recent actions of Russia and China as they are rapidly maneuvering away from the dollar – and the implications that it will have on 'the man on the street'.
It's coming folks… the collapse of the dollar.
When? Well that's the question that everyone asks. The way that I answer it for myself is that it could be soon, so I'm planning as such. If it turns out to be a slow demise – then that's better for me, however being prepared for the worst is how I'm handling it, because I do believe it to be within the realm of possibilities.
The Federal Reserve's policies are irresponsible and reckless.
They put four or five banks ahead of the entire American population. They are going to save them if they have to drive the rest of the American population into the ground.
Prices can go up hundreds of times – in a short amount of time. It depends on the amount of fear or the extent people leave the dollar and give up on it. This is why the Federal Reserve is so irresponsible.
If you add up the IQ of the White House and you add up the IQ of the Fed and multiply it by a thousand trillion, it might equal 50. These are stupid policies designed to completely destroy the U.S. dollar.
-Dr. Paul Craig Roberts
Here's more of what Roberts has to say; well worth 30-minutes of your time:
As Paul Craig Roberts points out via The Institute for Political Economy,
Is the US or the World Coming to an End?
It will be one or the other
2014 is shaping up as a year of reckoning for the United States.
Two pressures are building on the US dollar. One pressure comes from the Federal Reserve's declining ability to rig the price of gold as Western gold supplies shrivel and market knowledge of the Fed's illegal price rigging spreads. The evidence of massive amounts of naked shorts being dumped into the paper gold futures market at times of day when trading is thin is unequivocal. It has become obvious that the price of gold is being rigged in the futures market in order to protect the dollar's value from QE.
The other pressure arises from the Obama regime's foolish threats of sanctions on Russia. Other countries are no longer willing to tolerate Washington's abuse of the world dollar standard. Washington uses the dollar-based international payments system to inflict damage on the economies of countries that resist Washington's political hegemony.
Russia and China have had enough. Russia and China are disconnecting their international trade from the dollar. Henceforth, Russia will conduct its trade, including the sale of oil and natural gas to Europe, in rubles and in the currencies of its BRICS partners.
This means a big drop in the demand for US dollars and a corresponding drop in the dollar's exchange value.
As John Williams (shadowstats.com) has made clear, the US economy has not recovered from the downturn in 2008 and has weakened further. The vast majority of the US population is hard pressed from the lack of income growth for years. As the US is now an import-dependent economy, a drop in the dollar's value will raise US prices and push living standards lower.
All evidence points to US economic failure in 2014.

1 x ZOTAC ZT-71115-20L GeForce GT 730
The biggest hurdle was to get the GT730 (10de:1287) to work. After struggling with the wrong driver from nVidia, I ended up being able to install WebDriver-343.01.02f01 after mimicking my install for a MacPro,5.1. Faking a MacPro,5.1 might not be needed on the long run as the installer can be edited to think it is running on the right machine/version. (cf. http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1440150),but it's working like that, ymmv.
This build is right now only using the following flags: kext-dev-mode=1 nvda_drv=1. The first one is needed to avoid kext signature issue with updated AppleGraphicsPowerManagement.kext plist. I am not sure this update is needed, but it's there I don't want to touch it.
Sleeping seems to be functional, but I didn't investigate it much yet.

They're refusing to accept that it's an "emergency" statement but if it wasn't for the opposition parties – in this case the Conservatives – insisting that the SNP responds we would have had nothing but unwarrantable and unforgivable assertions from Alex Salmond about Scotland and the European Union.
Just as we wouldn't have heard a dicky bird from the First Minister about his referendum plans until David Cameron forced him to do so last January, so now José Manuel Barroso, the president of the European Commission, is making the SNP spell things out re Scotland and the European "club".
Mind you, there's no chance that Wee Eck will face the music himself at Holyrood today. Oh no; when things get difficult "Send for Nicola" is now his watchword and it will be the Deputy First Minister who steps up to the mark at Holyrood today.
Still, we should be grateful for small mercies. Any statement from the Nats on Europe is better than none and it is to be hoped that Miss Sturgeon is a bit more frank with the electors than her boss has been.
What we want from her is fact not wishlists. Thus far all we've had is essentially what the Nationalists want if they succeed in breaking up Britain. Then, as they would have it, their hoped for independent Scotland will simply waltz into the EU – exchanging the Union of the UK for the Union of Europe.
The SNP has been in government in Scotland for five years and "Scotland in Europe" has been party policy since longer than most of its MSPs can remember.
However, the truth has now emerged; it is not a properly worked out policy, following consultations with the third parties involved – in this case the European Commission – merely a mixture of bald assertion and bravado.
Alex Salmond has been leader, with a brief "wilderness" period at Westminster, for the best part of 16 years but, so far as anyone can tell, he has not visited Brussels once to nail down the terms and conditions of an independent Scotland joining the EU.
Given its importance and central position in the Nat prospectus, this is an incredible omission.
Instead, all that the Scottish people have been treated to is the normal Salmond syllabus for government, which goes like this: "Whatever I say, goes."
Mr Salmond's lack of presence over the years in the corridors of power in Brussels is little short of a dereliction of duty but, now that we've heard Mr Barroso's view, that all independent states have to apply afresh for membership, it's easy to understand the First Minister's behaviour; he knew what the answer would be and he didn't want to hear it. Or to tell us.
Poor old Miss Sturgeon will continue today with the latest in the increasingly thankless tasks that have been handed her of late – the last time it concerned her boss's misleading statement to Holyrood over whether or not he'd sought legal advice over EU membership.
The uber-loyal Nats believe that all this sort of stuff is mere "process" and that the doubts at Holyrood about Wee Eck's adherence to the actualité hasn't yet reached the voters.
Maybe so, but it is most definitely beginning to seep into the public's sense of what's right and wrong and that can't be good for the cause of independence.
That fact, I'm sure, won't have escaped the notice of a clever politician like Nicola Sturgeon.
She has acted quickly in asking for an urgent meeting with the Eurocrats but a bit of frankness from her government on this important issue wouldn't be a bad idea.

IT'S hard to remember a world pre-Posh and Becks.
Once upon a time, they were the young lovebirds Victoria Adams and David Beckham, girl band member and football star, both in the height of their career success.
The pair started dating in 1997 after meeting at a Manchester United charity football match. Becks proposed a little over a year later.
Today, one of the world's most famous couples celebrates 15 years of wedded bliss.
Here's a little trip down memory lane, in honour of Mr and Mrs David Beckham.

On the day that the man whom the mayor of London, Ken Livingstone, calls the greatest threat to life on this planet descended on his city, Michael Foot, probably the best prime minister Britain never had, told me, You Indians are better at saving the world than we are.
As E.M. Forster said of Constantine Cavafy, Foot also stands at a slight angle to the universe. At 90, his great will imprisoned in a painfully frail body, he is the last of those British stalwarts whom Krishna Menon drew into his India League and whose upstairs restaurant in the Strand continued to serve a decent curry for a modest price well into the Sixties. But while Fenner Brockway, another of Indias Labour Party champions, is remembered for flaunting a Gandhi cap in the House of Commons, Foot became notorious in some circles for allegedly condoning Indira Gandhis emergency. He was supposed to have described it as a much-needed smack of firm government. His denial is vehement. Where you got that from I dont know but I said no such thing. What he did do, and recalls with pride, was to insist on calling on Mrs Gandhi in the teeth of objections by his friend and colleague, Richard Crossman, then British foreign secretary, the mandarins of the foreign office and the British high commissioner in New Delhi.
Responding to George Fernandess fate, Socialist International also disapproved. Foot was then employment secretary in Harold Wilsons government. Nearly 30 years later, he remains unapologetic about defying the fashionable orthodoxy of the time.
His three-hour tete-a-tete with Mrs Gandhi served a useful purpose, he says. It forced her to face up to concerns like Sanjays birth control measures, the expulsion of foreign correspondents and Fernandess incarceration, that few others brought up with her. She didnt lose her temper. She didnt give satisfactory replies but didnt refuse to talk either, as everyone had said she would.
Above all, she gave the lie to those jeremiahs who had been singing a dirge for democracy. She assured Foot she had no intention of extending the emergency. Of course, we will hold elections, she said, and well win them. Foots aside that she was probably convinced she would does not alter his conviction that the 1977 election was a momentous event. No exercise in the whole history of democratic politics can compare with it. He is more eulogistic than James Callaghan whose measured praise for Mrs Gandhis decision (while Morarji Desai looked as if he had bitten on a bitter lemon) provided Congress candidates from Kashmir to Kanyakumari with campaign material.
When Mrs Gandhi paid the price of democracy with defeat, Foot admired and still admires the manner of her acceptance of the verdict. He took her to Ebbw Vale, his Welsh constituency inherited from Aneurin Bevan, friend of Jawaharlal Nehru, and was impressed by her determination to recapture the situation.
To start with, India was a scoop, not a cause, for Foot. His is a distinguished family the BBC joked when he was a minister and brother Dingle attorney general that another Foot would make a yard and his father, Isaac Foot, was a Liberal member of parliament. He was also a member of the Round Table conference though he never visited India. In 1931 the 17-year-old Michael was dining with his father at the National Liberal Club on the night the Royal Commission on India finalized its report. Sitting for the entrance examination for Wadham College, Oxford, two days later, he was asked what he thought the constitutional proposals were likely to be. He knew what they were.
Harold Laski and H.N. Brailsford, the journalist, fanned his interest. So did H.G. Wells who had two claims on his loyalty. He thought British performance in India shocking and shameful and he recognized the grim shape of things to come right at the beginning of the nuclear debate. Menon followed, linking the fight against fascism in Europe with the fight against imperialism. Your enemies are our enemies he was saying when Foot first climbed those stairs in the Strand to find Menon drinking endless cups of tea. He still doesnt know if the Camden councillor, Penguin editor and Indian high commissioner who put United Nations security council members to sleep with his lengthy discourses and was a thorn in Americas side, ever consumed any solids. Krishna was a tremendous influence on me. I read everything on India
. His first encounter with Nehru was on a Spanish civil war platform.
Perhaps criticism of the United States of America was also a bond, albeit subliminal. Foot found Mrs Gandhi virulently anti-American. She spoke of the American Central Intelligence Agency and what it had done in Chile. She didnt want to share Salvador Allendes fate. We dont want that to happen either, he assured her. They were kindred spirits at one level.
There is a link here with Foots opposition to George W. Bushs visit to Britain. He was there at the protest demonstrations in the spirit. Earlier, he was there in the flesh to object to Britain following Americas lead in invading Iraq. He might almost have penned the condemnation in his beloved Tribune, the Labour Party journal which he edited in the Thirties and to which Nehru contributed articles, of Tony Blair acting as President Bushs Sepoy wherever he chooses to go next. Foots opposition has to do with regime change and security, those twin pillars of neo-con strategy, though he would die a million deaths rather than interpret either in the way Bush does.
For the ideal regime change, Foot returns to India where the vote is all-powerful. The democracy that he says has saved India and can save the world echoes of the younger Pitt after Napoleons exile is not the governance that Paul Bremer is trying to foist on conquered Iraqis. The best guarantee of security is not American militarism but a return to Wellss 1914 proposal for a global conference to ban nuclear weapons.
He blames Indias recent record which makes him very sad on inexcusable India-Pakistan competition, imitation of the superpowers and the limitations of the world order. But no British statesman can match the consistent anti-nuclear record of Nehru, Mrs Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi. Rajiv has a special place in his, and also, apparently, of Mikhail Gorbachevs, affections. The reflection that Atal Bihari Vajpayee shared their views in an earlier incarnation suggests the lingering hope that he might yet come round full circle. The Delhi declaration could have helped to purge the world of weapons of mass destruction.
Incurable romantic though he is, Foot doesnt minimize the terrorist threat. But he agrees with Hosni Mubarak that US policy in Iraq will increase, not reduce, the menace. Mubarak took office under the shadow of death. When Foot went to Cairo in 1986, 30 years after Anthony Edens Suez adventure which he had opposed, the Egyptian leader spoke of the danger of assassination and the need to stop terrorists. He deserves the worlds attention.
In a shabby green jersey embroidered with Old Labours forgotten logo, singing When cowards flinch and traitors sneer,/ Well keep the Red Flag flying here, the author of erudite works on Byron, Wells and Jonathan Swift belongs as much to literature as to politics. The simplistic Bush cannot comprehend his compassion. George Bush is giving his most famous imitation of Alexander Popes Great Anarch, he wrote in Tribune, quoting the lines that Nirad Chaudhuri made famous in India, Thy hand, Great Anarch, lets the curtain fall/ And universal darkness buries all. Foots conclusion, We should all be mobilised to stop him in his tracks.
That was the call that drew thousands of protesters to Londons barricades this week. The cause was not anti-Americanism but peace, the game at which, Foot still believes India is better than the West.

To put it lightly, the coding in Alucinatio is a mess. I wish I were a better programmer and had found someone else who could do what I would have liked to get done, but that's simply not the case. This game will receive more attention/love from me, but only for so long; as there are other projects on the horizon. Would I want to remake this game? Hell yea!

Would I still be able to do this even though I booked on Hotels.com? Should I call the hotel directly? thanks so much!!


text: The mother of disgraced DJ STAR has filed an $11 million (GBP6.1 million) lawsuit against New York City radio station Hot 97, claiming she was defamed by a rival of her son. DJ Star - real name TROI TORAIN - was sacked by Big Apple radio station Power 105.1 in May (06) after making on-air racial and sexual comments about rival DJ ENVY's wife and four-year-old daughter. And HANNAH HIGHTOWER, a retired schoolteacher, alleges she was called a prostitute by Hot 97 personality Miss Jones when she was attacking Torain. The lawsuit against Emmis Radio, quotes Jones as saying, "Your white mom was nothing but a prostitute that your dad turned out," and "got knocked up by the blackest, blackest, blackest n**ger," the New York Post reports. Torain yesterday (02AUG06) launched a defamation lawsuit against New York City Councilman JOHN LIU, who he claims has continually made false statements about him.

A new era for Herff Farm
Updated 12:09 pm, Thursday, December 1, 2011
Since the Cibolo Nature Center acquired the Herff Farm in 2007, volunteers have been working to clear out debris and tame the weeds and brush that had grown up in recent years.
Now, mulch has been placed under stately old live oak trees in preparation for visitors who are expected to flock to the old homestead first occupied by Dr. Ferdinand Herff, a pioneer surgeon who was one of the original founders of a settlement in Kendall County.
"The Farmers' Market will be here next year," said Herff descendent and CNC Executive Director Carolyn Chipman Evans as she gestured to a shaded spot just off Herff Road. The location is also close to the 1883 farmhouse that's the crown jewel of the 62-acre property.
"The Herff Farm will open to the public in 2012 with a weekly Farmers Market featuring locally grown foods and products from regional farms and a community garden for children and adults," Chipman Evans said. She expects the Farmers Market to open in May and run through October.
Thanks to a generous grant, the farmhouse is currently being stabilized, she said. The structure had a minimal foundation and the walls are showing signs of instability, so work has begun to repair the damage and make the building more secure.

Friends of the Herff Farm and invited guests toured the site during an open house on Nov. 19. The event was held in anticipation of launching the Herff Farm capital campaign next year.
"This is a campaign to enable the future of the historic Herff Farm as a place for the community to gather, learn, work, rest and play," Chipman Evans said.
"The Herff Farm campaign will raise the necessary revenues to renovate and preserve the farm's historic structures, demonstrate sustainable agriculture techniques, design and develop a community garden, and restore habitat for wildlife. Early estimates anticipate a campaign goal of about $5 million."
She said seven volunteer planning committees are currently working on a master plan for the farm. The planning committees will determine the best uses for the acreage, including:
Wildlife corridors;
Nature trails;
Home gardening plots and demonstrations;
Community gardens for children and adults;
Rainwater harvesting demonstrations;
Water conservation techniques; and
Expansion of CNC camps and programs.
Supporters say the farm is one of the region's most historic, cultural and natural treasures.
The farm was confiscated during the Civil War for a Confederate prisoner-of-war camp, and it also is the site of one of the last conflicts between settlers and Native Americans who roamed the area, research shows.
In the 1930s, the property was purchased by the Rozelle family, and the apple orchards they established on three large fields were typical of Depression-era agricultural endeavors.
Chipman Evans said the farm's proximity to Cibolo and Menger creeks ensures the farm will play a role in protecting water quality.
The Cibolo is a direct recharge source for both the Edwards and Trinity aquifers, and nature-lovers believe long-term protection of the farm and surrounding lands will greatly benefit the region and the San Antonio area.
"In a survey of the citizens of Kendall County, property that offered historic value, watershed protection and a place for children to play was deemed most desirable for open space," she said. "The Herff Farm excels in all three."

Retiring royalty: Kings and queens can just quit?
Credit: The Associated Press
THE HAGUE, Netherlands — The decision of Spanish King Juan Carlos to step down in favor of his son, Felipe, makes him the latest European monarch to decide to end his days in retirement and not on the throne.
Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands may have started a trend toward retiring royalty when she announced her abdication last year after a 33-year reign. She was quickly followed by her Belgian counterpart, King Albert, and on Monday by Juan Carlos.

Gareth Bale shows off incredible skills doing kick-ups with a golf ball
GARETH Bale has shown off his amazing skills by doing kick-ups with a golf ball.
The Welsh winger proved he is a man of many talents in an advert for Sprint 6 Golf, a new quick-speed six-hole format.
The 30-second clip starts with Bale keeping the ball in the air with an iron.
Things get even more impressive when he starts using his feet and knees to keep the ball up – managing an incredible 58 kick-ups in 30 seconds.
The Real Madrid pro is a keen golfer with a solid handicap of six.
He spent thousands building replicas of his three favourite golf holes in his back garden.
In 2015 Bale told the Express: "I love playing golf. I love the sport, I love the fact that you can just get away from everything, be with your friends and no one can come over to you on a golf course.
"It's nice to get out and, I suppose, switch your mind off from football. Just have a laugh."
Bale recently announced his engagement to girlfriend Emma Rhys-Jones.
He reportedly spent £400,000 whisking her to a private Mediterranean island for the proposal.

When negotiating commercial leases it is important for the Tenant to obtain a Subordination and Non-Disturbance Agreement, often referred to as the "SNDA" especially in today's economic environment where foreclosure activity has significantly increased.
There are many parties who have legal rights in a commercial real estate project. For example, a lease grants certain rights to a tenant, and a loan grants other rights to a lender.
A subordination clause provides that the tenant agrees that his rights under the lease are lesser than, or subordinate to, the rights the lender has under a loan. Subordination is expected of almost all tenants: it is a reasonable and common requirement.
In return for a tenant's agreement to subordinate its rights under the lease to those of a lender under its loan, most lenders should agree not to disturb or interfere with the tenant in the event of a foreclosure of the property. This would assume, of course, that the tenant is in full compliance with the terms of the lease.
From the tenant's perspective, when the tenant is in a subordinate position to the lender, if the lender forecloses on the property, the lender can terminate the lease and the tenant's ability to remain in the space.
Therefore, to protect itself from this process, the tenant will need the lender to execute a nondisturbance agreement whereby the lender agrees that if there is a foreclosure, provided the tenant isn't in default, the tenant can remain, and the lease won't be terminated.
In all cases tenant's should seek legal counsel from a qualified real estate attorney.

[NEWS + VIDEO] 150227 Jaejoong's New Role as Fashion Art Director
As if it wasn't enough that Kim Jae-joong is a breakthrough K-pop singer, rising actor and occasional model, the 29-year-old has now signed on as art director of Korean fashion brand Moldir.
The fashion company, which launched in Seoul January 2014, shared an exclusive interview with the multitalented idol singer on its official website Wednesday.
"I definitely don't want to do this as a passing fad," said Kim in the interview, noting regrettably that he was pressed for time with other commitments. "I would like to grow as an art director in the long term."
"Fashion trends change rapidly and Moldir is the kind of brand that can meet those changes," he said, describing the company's image as "modern and minimal." "Currently Moldir's clothing items are predominantly dark, but who knows? Maybe the brand will start introducing brighter and more eye-catching colors in the future,"
Kim's management C-JeS Entertainment said, "Kim Jae-joong has his own distinctive fashion and artistic sense. He will take it to a more serious level with his new role as an art director."
The idol singer, who wears an all-black outfit complete with eyeliner in the video interview, stars in weekly KBS2 crime drama "Spy."

One of my favourite garden tasks is creating new garden beds. There's something very hopeful about it, and somehow, thinking about all the new plants that I'm going to buy makes all the hard work easier!
So what are the key steps?
1) Planning
It sounds obvious, but before you start, you need to plan your new beds. You might want to start with drawings, but once you've got an idea of the shape and location, there's no substitute for getting out into the garden with string and tent pegs! Mark out the shape of the new bed on the ground, using the string and tent pegs, and just look at it. Leave the string in place for several days, and keep looking. Try slightly different shapes and sizes, and see which one looks best. Once you've finally decided what you're going to do, then you can start work. If the ground is too hard for tent pegs, or paved, draw outlines with chalk instead.
2) Getting the outline in place
Most of us don't have the luxury of starting from scratch in a garden, so you're probably going to be cutting flower beds out of lawn, or even out of a paved area. Either way, the ground is going to need some work to get it ready for planting. If you're cutting a bed out of a grassed area, use a half-moon cutting tool to cut the shape out along the string lines. Raise the turf gently and remove it. If you want to use it elsewhere, lay it before you do anything else, as turf doesn't like being left.
If you're removing a paved area through earthmoving Sydney equipment, lift the stones or slabs up as close to your desired shape as possible, so that you have the outline of your new bed in place. You may need to do some work to smarten up the edge of the paved area again, perhaps by concreting, or putting sets around the edge of the new bed. It really depends on the type of paving, and the quality of the previous job, so you'll just have to play it by ear and see what's needed.
3) Preparing the ground
What happens next depends on what you find when you lift the paving slabs or turf. With turf, you'll probably find compacted soil. It will need to be dug over or rotavated to at least a spade's depth, to loosen all the soil up. With paving slabs, you may find concrete, or rubble, or sand. Either way, you'll have to remove it, which may be easiest with a mini-digger and skip or you can hire northshore bobcats for concrete removal. Once you're down to the soil, it will need to be dug over to at least a spade's depth; you might find the mini-digger or rotavator useful here too.
4) Adding topsoil
The chances are that the soil that's left behind once you've dug out any rubble or lifted the turf isn't very good quality, and you may also have had to go down quite a long way. So you'll probably need to add some new topsoil. You can buy topsoil in bulk, and most topsoil suppliers will usually deliver it within a couple of days. There are various sorts of topsoil available, including multi-purpose, vegetable topsoil and deluxe topsoil, which are all slightly different. Consider what you're going to plant, and buy topsoil to suit.
Once your topsoil has been delivered, you'll need to transfer the soil from the bag to the new bed. Bring the soil level up to that of the surrounding area, and then about two inches higher, to allow for settling. Once you think you've finished, leave your bed for a few days if not weeks, for the soil to settle, and then add more topsoil if necessary to bring it up the right level.
5) Choosing your plants and planting
Now it's over to you, to choose your new plants, and put them in. Have fun!

Postcard From Arizona
I sit here in a Claritin-induced mental fog. The Southwest US is experiencing some sort of rare "pollen burst" brought on by sudden record high temperatures. I heard a rumor that the whole state of New Mexico is sold out of Claritin! Glad I have my stash.
Today all I can muster up is a photo of this beautiful spring day among the tall Ponderosa Pines of the Arizona mountains. I hope it brings a little warmth and hope for the future to those of you in the Northeast who are still suffering in winter weather today. Enjoy!

On occasion, more controversial politicians have upstaged Seattle City Council member Bruce Harrell, but that speaks to his credit. Harrell wields his words like weapons: His voice is sometimes lost among the council's parliamentary tedium, but it booms when he takes up an issue, including job rights for ex-convicts or public nursing rules for new mothers. And by announcing this week that he's running for mayor, ready with a slew of ideas to set the city on a new course, Harrell will be thrust into the civic spotlight where he's most at ease.
Facing six opponents, the chair of the council's Public Safety, Civil Rights, and Technology Committee nonetheless finds himself at a convenient crossroads of support. He will be uniquely positioned to satisfy a base that knows him as a social-justice advocate—reining in a troubled police department—while appealing to influential business lobbies. They're two constituencies that tend to clash, but then again, Harrell's five years in office have defined him as uncommonly independent.
"Bruce has always been known as his own guy," says Seattle city attorney Pete Holmes, who applauds Harrell's work to appoint a strong court monitor to oversee police reforms (despite pushback from Mayor Mike McGinn).
Already, Harrell has made several specific promises, including a plan to fund a year of community college for all public high-school graduates, set rigorous new standards to gauge the police department's effectiveness, and organize a statewide initiative on gun control. "My groundswell will come from peeling off a lot of people in the different bases," Harrell says, citing labor, parents with children in public school, business, and legal blocs (he's also an attorney).

Emerging Trends: Spring 2015 Womenswear
When trends present themselves as clearly and cohesively as they have thus far at New York Fashion Week, it can only mean that the creative collective is yearning for something. Halfway through the Spring 2015 shows and several trends have emerged, expressing in no uncertain terms our of-the-moment wants, desires and preoccupations.
'70s REDUX
The free-spirited sensibility of the 1970s infused itself into almost every show—from BCBG to Victoria Beckham—the look less literal, more a nod to nostalgic dressing seen through a fresh, modern lens. Tia Cibani and Jill Stuart both channeled Bianca Jagger: Cibani with diaphanous dresses, trousers and peasant tops, Stuart with high-waisted flares, menswear-inspired stripes and one-shoulder silhouettes. Likewise, Ulla Johnson's NYFW debut showcased cotton blouses tucked into flared indigo jeans, artfully draped dresses and fringed, patterned sweaters that signaled a return to looser style, with an emphasis on fuss-free, feel-good appeal.
Quieter colors have become a running theme of the Spring 2015 shows, with soft neutrals and desaturated pastels taking precedence over brighter pop colors. Ralph Rucci's almost entirely monochrome collection broke up the contrast between black and white with singular looks in brown, yellow or blush, a welcome break from the overwhelming bombardment of clashing colors and patterns evident in previous fashion weeks. Altuzarra's palette of ivory, pink and sky blue created a calming, childlike mood indicative of the larger movement towards colors that signal peace, purity and innocence as an antidote to the harshness of reality.
Clean, relaxed shapes have surfaced as one of Spring 2015's most immediately identifiable trends. Chadwick Bell presented a layered collection of loose-fitting foundation pieces—a floor-length gown, an oversized shirt, a classic pencil skirt—in monochrome shades and ultra-tactile fabrics, while Wes Gordon excelled in his execution of simple elongated silhouettes, curved seams and stretch crepe fabrications. Overall, this shift to simplicity indicates our need to reground, our want for wearability and our desire to see every item of clothing as part of a versatile wardrobe.
Lightweight fabrics and feminine detailing threaded through the collections, with a preponderance of airy cotton, silk, embroidery and lace. Tina Luz of TSE cited mixed-media artist Simone Shubuck as inspiration, evidenced by intricate stitching and blended fabrications that included cotton comprised of 22% Japanese paper. Likewise, Derek Lam referenced collage artists Fred Free and Sigrid Sandström for his 10 Crosby line through a midi-skirt with inset pleating, a washed silk linen trench and a sweater dress comprised of loose-, compact- and cable-knit wool. Tadashi Shoji's texture-focused collection was all embroidered tulle, ornate lace and delicate lattice prints, highlighting a preoccupation with how pieces feel, move and live.
So far, the Spring 2015 shows have revealed a surprisingly cohesive message: that a return to simplicity, tranquility and contentment is what we are craving. In a world that feels increasingly unstable and unpredictable, we find comfort in the past and look to the familiar in order to fashion the future. In this case, by ushering in a modern era of peace, love and understanding.

text: So took my phone off charger a few hours ago, already down to 60%, and this is with WiFi turned off (don't normally turn it off) So poking around, look at what has been using battery, and see Maps listed as using 85% of the battery. But I have no mapping software running, and checked Advance Task Killer, and there were no mapping programs that decided to start themselves. So how would Maps be draining my battery. And more important, how do I stop it from continuing to happen?

For example, this week we learned a lot about the world of Star Trek, from Sulu being gay in Star Trek: Beyond to Star Trek: The Motion Picture being an almost completely different movie. Toady, we'll be taking a look at five movies that had amazing (or not so amazing) ideas cut from the final product. Let's jump right in!
5. Star Trek - Kirk Almost Battled Jesus Christ - Yes, Really
The legendary man behind the world of Star Trek, Gene Roddenberry, wanted to make a completely different first film than what we ended up seeing. In the original script for Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Roddenberry wrote some "mildly erotic, mid-life crisis stuff" according to author Michael Jan Friedman who wrote the novelization of the movie following Gene's death. One of the weirdest parts of the original script took place during the climax in which "Kirk had a fistfight with an alien who had assumed the image of Jesus Christ."
In other drafts of the screenplay that would become Star Trek: The Motion Picture, the crew of the Enterprise welcomed Winston Churchill, Albert Einstein, John F. Kennedy, and Hitler to the ship. This version would have seen the Enterprise going back to the 1930s and inadvertently preventing the events of WWII and JFK's assassination. Personally, that sounds rather exciting, but it would take another six rejected scripts and a TV series pitch before Star Trek: The Motion Picture received the green light.
4. Frozen - Elsa Was Almost An Evil Villain Rather Than The Heroine
In the original story the hit Disney movie is based on, the Snow Queen was a very, very evil person. When adapting Hans Christian Andersen's "The Snow Queen," Disney sought to keep the character of Elsa as the main protagonist of the film. For the longest time, the film's first rounds of concept art kept portraying Elsa as a villain.
However, as husband and wife songwriting duo Robert and Kristen Lopez were struggling to write a song that showed Elsa in a bad light (a la Scar's "Be Prepared" in The Lion King) they came up with an idea to have Elsa go through a transformation. That idea would bloom into the hit song "Let It Go" which would go on to win the Academy Award for Best Song.
I think we can all say we're glad that they decided to let it go and make Elsa a misunderstood individual and the heroine of the story rather than the villain.
3. Jurassic Park III - It Was Almost A Teen Slasher In The Making
The Jurassic Park franchise has seen its fair share of odd ideas that didn't make it into the final product (including the dino-human hybrids originally planned for Jurassic World). Jurassic Park III, however, faced some of the most difficult setbacks as it neared the start of production. Just five weeks prior to the start of filming, Jurassic Park III had the plot completely rewritten. One of the original scripts featured a group of teenagers stranded on Isla Sorna and being systematically hunted by a bloodthirsty dinosaur.
Then the idea was pitched that pteranodons would attacking the main land and Alan Grant would investigate the attacks. This idea was working pretty well and the production team even made some set pieces. However, just weeks before filming, the rescue plot was added. The original set pieces were still used in the final product even though some of them didn't fit in so well with the new plot. All of these changes might explain why Jurassic Park III turned out to be the lowest rated film in the franchise.
2. The FIRST Batman V Superman - Batman's Fiance Is Killed
Over a decade before Batman V Superman hit our screens, Warner Brother's sought to bring the epic duo to the big screen. This version of the iconic storyline would have starred Christian Bale as Batman and Josh Hartnett as Superman. This also explains the seemingly prophetic image seen in I Am Legend.
It was meant as an inside joke by writer Akiva Goldsman, who wrote the script for both I Am Legend and the Batman vs Superman film we never got. The script Goldsman wrote had a Superman that had recently divorced Lois Lane and a Batman who was about to marry his longtime partner, Elizabeth Miller, when she was violently murdered by Joker. For some reason, Batman blames Superman for her death and the two face off against each other.
However, it is soon revealed that someone else entirely was behind the whole plot, and the two decide to team up to bring the mastermind down. The plans were scrapped in order to create a standalone Batman movie (the Christopher Nolan trilogy) and a standalone Superman movie written by J.J. Abrams called Superman: FlyBy. Unfortunately, we never got to see this version of Batman vs Superman (which sounds like it might have had a plot just as muddled as Batman V Superman) or the Superman movie J.J. Abrams wanted to make.
1. Robin Hood Remake - Was Almost More Like CSI: Nottingham
Of all the changes made on the list, this movie is the one I wish hadn't been changed at all. The original script was so good that Russell Crowe signed on immediately. Crowe had agreed to do the movie before a studio even purchased the script with his star status causing a bidding war between studios before Universal Pictures secured the rights. After that, iconic director Ridley Scott was hired and the movie was set to be a hit. And then...everything changed. So what exactly was the movie supposed to be about?
Originally, Russell Crowe was supposed to play a more sympathetic version of the Sheriff of Nottingham. According to Universal Chairman Marc Shmuger:
"The script had the sheriff of Nottingham as a 'CSI'-style forensics investigator, set in medieval times. It was really well written, but Ridley's interest took him in a different direction."
The movie would have seen Crowe's sheriff trying to solve the murders Robin Hood committed and bring the man in tights to justice. Unfortunately, numerous rewrites were undertaken and a straightforward Robin Hood origin story was produced instead.
Clearly, some of these script changes were clearly made for the better, whereas others, such as Nottingham, would have been amazing to see brought to the big screen. Which of these films would you have most liked to see? Which ones are you glad were changed? Let me know in the comments below!
Which of these changes were you most surprised by?

The Power of Babble
Building G at COP 20 is filled with several hundred exhibitor booths. From 9 AM to 9 PM delegates stroll, peruse and learn. But almost none of these booths focus on the ocean. An important exception is the Hot, Sour, and Breathless Booth, sponsored by Plymouth Marine Lab, UK, Scripps Institution of Oceanography and CMBC, USA, and the Univ. of Santo Tomas, Chile. Here, COP delegates and observers can learn how excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is warming, acidifying and de-oxygenating the oceans. One-on-one conversations with delegates, press and observers allow us to have detailed, country-specific discussions of change in the ocean and the ecological and economic consequences. Our goal is to have the ocean highlighted in the negotiations and appear in the declaration text.
This may seems like a painstakingly slow way to reach people - but we think it can make a difference. For example, in 4 hours one morning we talked with representatives from Algeria, Benin, Bolivia, Botswana, Brazil, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, China, El Salvador, Ethiopia, Guatemala, India, Iraq, Japan, Korea, Liberia, Malawi, Morocco, Myanmar, Nigeria, Pakistan, Peru, USA and UNFCCC Secretariat members. Our group speaks and presents materials in English and Spanish, but it would have been great to have fluent French, Portuguese and other languages represented.
Most of the people we talk with have heard of global warming. At least half have heard of ocean acidification. Almost none know about ocean deoxygenation. What are the issues that people are most interested in? They want to know which factors most affect their country. Why should those with no ocean (e.g., Botswana) care? And what can we do? In these conversations we emphasize reduction of CO2 emissions and local focus on improved water quality and reduced fishing stress in order to enhance ecosystem resilience.
Another very interesting issue that comes up occasionally is whether our three stressors are climate change. Most consider warming to equal climate change. Some consider ocean acidification to be CO2 pollution. Ocean deoxygenation is an indirect, follow-on effect of warming (through changes in oxygen solubility, stratification and ventilation). We consider these all products of climate change – that need raised attention, and Peru, a noted upwelling country, is a great place to do this.

Rugeley, United Kingdom (PressExposure) May 15, 2009 -- Bejeweled Twist now available on PC CD-ROM
The most popular casual game franchise of the 21st century is back, and youâve never seen it like this before! Focus Multimedia, the UKâs leading publisher of PC value and casual games, is pleased to announce the release of Bejeweled Twist at UK retail.
Bejeweled Twist is another product of Focus Multimediaâs successful partnership with PopCap Games, the leading developer and publisher of casual games. To date, 15 PopCap titles have now been launched in the UK and Ireland by Focus.
Adding a âtwistâ to Bejeweledâs tale, the new game mechanic is fresh and exciting, while still retaining all of the features which have made the casual game franchise one of the best-loved of all time.
The challenging new style of gameplay removes the barriers of traditional match-3 games. Instead of swapping adjacent jewels to make a match, players rotate an entire 2x2 block of gems clockwise in an effort to create a line of three or more gems of the same type.
Also, itâs no longer necessary to make a match with every move â instead gems can be freely rotated anywhere on the board. This allows for greater liberty of movement and adds a more strategic element to the game. Players can now plan combinations, cascades and chains in advance, making the resulting explosions and high scores much more rewarding.
Bejeweled Twist has four modes of play. Classic and Zen modes are available from the beginning and the others are unlocked as you progress through the game: ⢠Classic: Classic features Bomb gems that tick down to a deadly detonation. You need to clear them before they hit zero or it's game over! ⢠Zen: You literally can't lose in this free-form mode. Explore dozens of alien worlds as you hone your gem-matching skills without the pressure of obstacles or time. ⢠Blitz: You have just five minutes to get the best score you can. ⢠Challenge: Designed for the serious problem-solver, Challenge mode offers a dozen separate puzzle worlds, each with seven levels of difficulty and a final infinite stage.
With endless rewards, constant surprises and all-new elements, the latest incarnation of the classic puzzle game will impress existing fans of the franchise and also entice new players to boost the ranks of over 350 million worldwide.
So if youâre looking for a chance to shine, grab your copy of Bejeweled Twist today! But beware, youâll be rotating gems until the wee hours, muttering âJust five more minutesâ¦â

Remember the Yugo? When it was introduced in 1986 and priced at only $3,990, it was the epitome of the no-frills car.
But it sure wasn't alone in the 1980s, when to keep cars moving at that other turbulent time for the auto market, a number of automakers sold stripped-down, bargain versions of some of their least expensive cars. For instance, Ford sold a very basic Pony version of its Escort that waived many standard features and got taller gearing, and Chevrolet once upon a time had the Chevette Scooter that took cost-cutting to an oppressive extreme, most notably substituting smooth cardboard door panels (that would, as my memory serves, warp or tear quickly).
In today's money that $3,990 figure for the Yugo works out to be somewhere between $7,000 and $8,000, if you go by rates of inflation. But probably due to the much tougher modern safety requirements, there's no equivalent to the Yugo in today's market. Even the Smart fortwo, which feels every bit a diminutive, basic novelty, has respectable safety equipment and starts at about $12,000.
You probably aren't aware that $10,000 can still buy a new car, but it does. And no, we're not talking about fire-sale Chryslers, or 2008s that have been sitting on the lot for a year (I'll get to that in a future column); there are two models for 2009 that have prices starting in the magic four-digit zone. The base Hyundai Accent GS three-door hatchback starts at just $9,970, while the 2009 Nissan Versa 1.6 Base sedan (pictured above) starts at just $9,990. The Korean-built Chevrolet Aveo, a bargain over the past several years, is no longer as much of a cheapskates' delight. It now starts just below $12,000, not counting destination, and its base price has gone up more than a grand from '08 to '09.
Earlier this spring I requested some drive time with the new 1.6 Base version of the Versa, but what arrived in my driveway was a Versa 1.8 S hatchback with a bottom-line price of more than $15,000. The 1.8-liter has 122 horsepower, versus 107 hp for the 1.6-liter, but it's the lowest-priced hatchback in the Versa lineup—no power windows or locks, no standard ABS, and no other common conveniences like cruise control—but it's priced a whopping 40 percent higher than the cheapest sedan.
2009 Nissan Versa 1.6 BaseEnlarge Photo
I got some great follow-up impressions of the 1.8-liter Versa—it's one of the roomiest, best-riding small cars, and one of the quietest inside, plus I appreciate the hatchback's style much more than the sedan's—but the frugal shopper in me couldn't help but wondering about the 1.6-liter special. Full disclosure here: I once (in college) owned a Ford Festiva and loved it for what it was—very cheap, reliable transportation.
So I went to the dealership.
Even at a Nissan retail store, finding a base model can be challenging. Of course, since the dealership makes very, very little money on a base model, there's no incentive to put it out in front. My recommendation if you really want to check one of these out: go to the automaker's Web site, then search the new-vehicle inventory at your local dealership. I searched and knew before I left that they had two Base models. The dealership had just a couple of Versas in the main portion of the lot, both fully loaded. As it turns out, the Base models weren't in the normal lot, nor around the side of the dealership where most of the other Versas were; they were at the very back of the lot, even behind the service department—basically back by the weeds.

What's my secret? Engaging life. I don't like to live bits and pieces of my life, thus my filters or projections are very broad and I tend to pick up a lot. There are two components for every situation, you have the event and your opinion of the event and projection is quite natural. Projection is projection of your state of mind. We all project energy and we interpret the energy coming to us. The key is knowing.
"The youth, intoxicated with his admiration of a hero, fails to see, that it is only a projection of his own soul, which he admires" Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Everyone wants happiness; nobody wants to suffer. Many problems around us are a mental projection of certain negative or unpleasant things. If we analyze our own mental attitude, we may find it quite unbearable. Therefore, a well-balanced mind is very useful and we should try and have a stable mental state." Dalai Lama

Chapter 18 : I do not know love
|Rating: Mature
|Chapter Reviews: 17
Background: Font color:
Bloody Malfoy Manor, he whispered under his breath. He looked around for a way in but only noticed a muggle looking speaker box to the right side of him. He pressed one of the buttons and a loud voice quickly came over the speaker.
Malfoy Manor how may I assist you, the refined voice asked.
I am here to see Hermione Granger. Ron blurted out.
And you are? the voice asked.
Ron Weasly, he answered.
Oh Mr. Weasly I do apologize but you are not welcome here, the voice informed him.
What! That prat Malfoy told you not to let me in, well I want to see Hermione and you better open these damn gates or else. He warned in a raised tone.
Actually it was Ms. Granger who set the order to allow you know admittance past these gates, the voice said and now it was starting to sound slightly more familiar.
Why yes it is Mr. Weasly, funny isnt it you always seem to be on the outside looking in. Please go away now or I shall tell my new master. Kreacher said with a sinister laugh.
WHAT! HARRY POTTER IS YOUR MASTER, he yelled at the speaker box.
No. You see sir, Harry Potter set Kreacher free and he came to the last of the Black relatives, that being the Malfoys. Kreacher said and Ron could hear the smugness in his voice.
DAMN ROTTEN HOUSE ELF! He shouted and kicked the pole which held the speaker box.
BLOODY HELL! he shouted in pain. He knew there had to be a way into the manor grounds; he just had to find it. Obviously he would not be able to apparate in or he would have ended up inside to begin with, no he would have to find a muggle way in. Now he realized he needed Harry more then ever but though Harry was his best mate he refused to come on this journey. Harry had felt Hermione needed the time and with Ginny going to visit her soon he was sure she would come to her senses soon, but Ron could not wait that long. He had to see her now.
Draco and Hermione rode on and on until finally they came to the ruins of an old church. Draco had not ridden a horse in what seemed like ages and he actually was reluctant to stop, he had never felt so free before. The wind in his hair, the power of his steed below him and Hermione rushing past him on her horse, it was fun. He had not had this much fun in years, well except for Vegas but they had argued in the end of that trip and it slightly ruined it for both of them.
Wow, what a beautiful sunset, Hermione said, her words bring Draco back to earth. He looked now to the west and in his mind agreed with her, it was a very beautiful sunset indeed.
And just look at this ruin, Merlin the history this place must have, she said touching one of the old churchs crumbling walls.
It is a relic isnt it? Draco asked sarcastically.
Shame on you Mr. Malfoy, she said playfully. He had to fight the urge to jump of his horse and take her into his arms and kiss her. Her smile and her laugh were so tempting to him. For so many years Draco lived in darkness but now even without having her intimately, just having her in his life whether anything ever became of them; just having her in his life had brought a brightness into his shadows he could have never imagined.
What is it? she said looking at him quizzically. His intense stare sent a rushing sensation of nervousness and excitement to her soul.
Nothing, for once it is nothing, he answered as he smiled and dismounted.
Meaning? she questioned.
Meaning that for the first time in a long time I have no worries, he said with a very real smile and moved closer to her.
No worries must be nice, she said a bit more solemnly then he would have liked. She sat down on an old stone bench and stared up at the broken stained glass window. She felt Draco sit down next to her and she was comforted by his presence.
Ron? he asked slightly hesitant to bring up the subject for fear of upsetting her.
What else could it be. She answered.
You are still very angry with him I take it, he inquired but tried to make it sound as subtle as he could.
She took a deep breath then turned and looked him right in the eyes.
Have you ever been in love Draco? she asked.
Her question had come unexpectedly and he fumbled with his thoughts to find an answer but not even he could fib his way out of this one.
No, no I dont think I have, he answered slightly embarrassed. He could read the shock on her face.
Really? Wow, I thought you had been in love with Pansy a few years back, she said.
No, Pansy was never love. If anything we were together for all the wrong reasons. He said now staring down at the ground slightly ashamed of himself.
There was a long silence in which neither dared to speak but neither wanted to leave. They sat there watching the sky go from dusk to dark when finally Hermione spoke.
I never thought he would come back to me, she said breaking the silence. Draco looked deep into her teary brown eyes.
I was just starting to learn how to live my life without him and now I dont know what to do. She cried.
Draco put his arm around her and pulled her closer to him, she laid her head on his shoulder and sobbed.
You still love him very much, dont you? he asked.
I never stopped loving him, she cried, But I was just starting to fall in love with you.
He froze with fear at her words, what was he supposed to say. He had no experience with something like this and he did not want to say the wrong thing and cause her more pain or worse have her get angry with him.
I, he tried to spit the words out but he was fumbling again, I err, I um.
Hermione looked at him, he had started to give up on getting it right and she did not hate him for it but she did desperately want to know how he felt.
Draco do you love me? she asked plainly, tears streaming down her face.
Hermione I do not know love. He said despondently knowing he was ruining everything. But much to his surprise he felt her take his hand and squeeze it.
What do you feel right now, she whispered to him softly.
My heart about to beat out of its chest, he admitted and they both slightly laughed.
Her eyes caught his and he wanted desperately to tell her he was falling in love with her and that he wanted her and never wanted her to leave him. But he knew deep down it was not fair, not fair to her feelings for Ron. He knew she was going to need to work past that first.
What is it Draco, what are you fighting? she asked.
A very hard battle, he said honestly, a very hard battle indeed.
And in that battle what may I ask is the prize, she inquired gently.
There is no prize, for one can not make a trophy out of you, he said.
She was taken aback by his words.
Are you losing this battle? she asked.
Draco stared deep into her watery russet eyes, I do not know, he said, Am I?
Without thinking Hermione acted so quickly that Draco almost fell backwards off the bench she hugged him so hard.
I can not stop myself from falling in love with you Draco Malfoy, yet my heart belongs to another, she whispered to him.
Draco could take it no longer. He took the chance and pulled her face to his and kissed her passionately. He had no idea when he would be able to do this again and if he was going to lose her he was going to kiss her this one last time. She welcomed his kiss and they were soon lost into one another.
Please dont stop fighting, she whispered tearfully to him between kisses. And Draco vowed within himself he would not. He knew months ago that he would do what ever it took to keep her with him. Whatever it took.
