WAR hero Ben Parkinson gave his mum the Mothers' Day gift doctors thought he never could – walking, on his new legs, to present her with a bouquet of flowers.
Paratrooper Ben, 27, from Doncaster, is the most seriously injured British servicemen to survive the war in Afghanistan, after losing both his legs and breaking his back, hips and ribs when his Land Rover hit a mine in 2006.
But, thanks to sheer determination, Ben – who spent four months in a coma in the aftermath of the blast – proved doctors wrong with his amazing progress.
He is now walking on his prosthetic legs, and even starting to get memories back of his Army career.
Proud mum Diane said: "Ben is just incredible in the progress he has made, and it goes without saying I'm very proud of him.
"Mothers' Day is very special to me. Recent events in particular have only made us realise just how lucky we are to have Ben with us.
"Every little bit of Ben we get back is something we shouldn't have. It's just fantastic."
Diane revealed Ben has had a breakthrough with his treatment and his memory is now coming back.
"This is the one thing we weren't sure Ben would ever get back," she said. "The doctors told us he would never walk again, be able to eat by himself or talk – but we believed he would.
"But remembering things is one thing I think Ben never believed he would regain.
"The other morning he woke up and told me he had remembered getting a rollicking from someone when he was in the Army!
"He's just so happy to have some of these memories back, because he couldn't remember anything from being in the Army."
For Mothers' Day, Ben and his family will be travelling to Wootton Basset to take part in the Ride of Respect along with around 10,000 other bike riders. Ben will be riding a trike.
Diane said: "Ben is really excited, and obviously it gives him a chance to pay his respects. His big aim in his future progress is to continue with his memory development.
"He wants to get himself work in charity. He'll always work for his military charities. He is happy being a figurehead but I think he wants to do a more productive role.
"He's also really excited about the Olympic Games, as he will be carrying the torch and wants to do it walking unaided on his long legs."
In his fight for recovery Ben travels to London every week, where he is undergoing specialist eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing therapy.
His mum said: "He's only been going for a month but he's got bits of his memory back already. It's being used more and more for soldiers suffering Post Traumatic Stress Disorder but it's never been used with someone like Ben before. Everyone at the centre is delighted with the way he's responding."
And, looking forward to Mothers' Day, a beaming Diane said: "Obviously he needs 24-hour care, but it works both ways. I rely on Ben so much – on his strength, his character, and his sense of humour."

The Grand Valley is formed on three sides by three geologically unique formations: The Colorado National Monument to the West, the Grand Mesa (Largest flat top mountain in the world) to the North, and the Bookcliffs to the East.
Between the Bookcliffs and the Grand mesa flows the Colorado River, and between the Grand Mesa and the Monument flows the Gunnison River. The two rivers meet in the valley, and that is the Grand Junction from which the small city takes its name.
The feature that dominates the Grand Valley though is the big bookend at the end of the Bookcliffs: Mt. Garfield. Its pretty much omnipresent all over the city and the roadways therein. Pictures of almost anything facing East are going to contain the moderate gray knob of the peak. Garfield photobombs Grand Junction in a way that the Mesa and the Monument never can: Their wonders lie within - the Bookcliffs are all upfront.
|Bookcliffs and their Bookend, Mt. Garfield (from wikipedia commons)
Mt. Garfield, the symbol of the largest city in Western Colorado doesn't even have its own Wikipedia page.
|Your humble author at the
Colorado National Monument
Its just a big, eroded knob.
But I've been peeking at this peak on-and-off for my entire adult life, first on summer family vacations, and then when my family moved to Grand Junction, during my visits there. The splay of eroded 'fingers' that cascade down the sides of it always fascinated me.
And then, in August of 2014, I took the Amtrak train back to 'Junction to help my mother through a major surgery, and I was left with a lot of free time on my hands. (its a pretty fun read: CHECK IT OUT.)
I bicycled through Glenwood CANYON, and that was a giddy thrillride, but my thoughts kept coming back to Mount Garfield: Is there any hiking up there?
Well, just one hike really, and its a doozy. Only 2 miles, but a 2,100 foot elevation gain, making it the Sandy Stairmaster from HELL. There wasn't much else to be learned online, other than a whole slew of 'no's:
And also this inviting phrase: "You will see a lot of people turning back early."
Woo-hoo! Sign me up!
My immediate problem was footwear. I had initially come to the Grand Valley in just my Birkenstocks, thinking I was only going to be there for a week, and I would be pretty busy. But when my stay got extended for another week I trooped off to WalMart and bought a pair of sneakers for 10 bucks.
I attempted the summit the next day, but didn't get far. From the parking lot the trail passes an old dusty shadowbox that mostly details how horrific it is to die from excess CO2 in a coal mine. Yay. From there the trail takes you to a little post that points at the peak and says dutifully "TRAIL".
Thanks, little buddy! Got it! And then the damned trail splits in a Y and goes off in two directions. Um, er......
The trailS lead to a pair of adjacent sandstone erosion fingers that lift you up
onto the first plateau, and it is up to you, foolish mortal,
to choose which one is the proper trail.
|Click on this to make it bigger. I chose the finger on the left.
Bad move. The steep section, middle frame, is total UGH.
I chose......poorly.
I took the farther trail, because it was less stark, and a little flatter at the onset. But it makes up for this easier start by 'catching up' its elevation at the top by moving the angle of the hike from 30 degrees to 45 degrees for about 100 yards, across a barren plane of loose, crusty sandstone with no hand or footholds.
A 'blank face', as they say in the rock climbing trade. And oh goody, right when the dawn brought a gusting crosswind. And me, without a hairtie, harness, top rope, partner, brain-in-my-head or the foresight to adequately scope out the very visible drawbacks to this particular route.
|Crusty, slippery, 45 degree slope, with
insta-death waiting on either side. No, thank you!
Easier said than done. It took me a full half-hour to back down those 60 yards, using a very focused 3 point climbing procedure. When I finally got back down to the relative safety of the 30 degree 'trail' I had to take a break to let my legs shake for awhile.
In this downtime I made a pathetic minute-long video about what a dumb-ass I was.
Summit Attempt #2: The Finger of Extinction
Two days later however, I was back. Hope springs eternal, or you can't run from stupid, or something. I had a hairtie this time, more food and water, and the shoes were a little more broken in.
|The goal. View from the proper finger.
I was still beginning the hike at 6am though, still on my own, and still hadn't told anybody where I was or what I was doing.
Most important though: This time I took the nearer erosion finger, the starker one that steadily ascends all the way up to the first plateau. Much easier.
Well, 'easy' is all relative of course. That first push is the hardest part of the whole journey, and that's if you are acclimated to the elevation, which I was not. The parking lot sits at 4,400 feet, and you are easily over a mile up by the time you top out at the first plateau. Me, Santa Cruz boy, I am acclimated to THREE feet of elevation. My house is literally on the edge of a tsunami inundation zone.
|Here is the drainage ditch under I-70 that you
drive through to get to the trailhead. Adventure!
I was walking up Extinction Event Beach. A sobering thought to have before the sun appeared.
What was holding my immediate attention, however, was a peripheral vision anamoly: The path here was up the crest of the erosion finger, And while the trail itself was steep at 30 degrees, it was nothing compared to the 45 - 60 degree slopes down each side of the crest.
|There are some plants growing on this cracked
boulder. Beyond, the proper trail mocks me.
So as you would walk, looking down (of course), staring at the narrow band of trail on the crest, the bottoms of the slopes to the left and right appeared to be moving backwards, at the edges of your vision. It was extremely vertigo inducing, and I was thankful that I did not suffer unduly from fear of heights.
Still I was grateful to reach the top of the erosion finger and find myself on the first plateau. (Which also meant I had made it past my first, failed attempt at the summit.)
Two Plateaux
|See any flat sections along the side? No? Isn't that cool??
(Pic from Coloradoguy.com)
But if you look at the summit closer, you can see very distinct bands of different types of rock, some of which erode more easily than others. This leaves extremely flat 'shelf' areas, but because they are narrow and the mountain is tall, they are hidden by forced perspective.
|The first plateau and a framed portrait of the
full Super Moon, just now setting.
The first of these was a jumble of house and car-sized boulders, scrub brush and great places to be a snake. I continued up.
The next section of climbing was a twisty, narrow ribbon of dirt that inched its way up and across side of the mountain. It probably was as steep as the initial erosion finger, but because of the varied terrain it was less scary and more fun.
And this opened up into my favorite part of the whole climb: The Meadow.
|The meadow. Now go look at the side view from
I-70 again. Pretty amazing, huh?
There were a few giant bowling ball boulders strewn about, but mostly it was just pasture. 6000 feet up, on the side of a mountain. No wonder there were wild horses and bison spotted up here.
From there the trail got creative. It snaked its way up and across the side of the next level of strata, making a very narrow trail on loose shale, with a loooooong way down to the left. Not for the klutzy or those with concentration issues.
|Narrow trail, and a loooong way down......
To get to the flat-topped summit you must do one last climbing section, up the back of the last strata, through an enormous debris field of boulders, bushes, rocks, dirt, sand, rabbits and dust. The trail winds all over the back of the knob, always gaining elevation, and I would not have attempted it on any but the driest days of the year.
|View from the top!
The top of the Mountain isn't perfectly flat of course, so once you top out on the back of the knob you must still walk up, skirting the left side of the plateau, until you reach the end of the trail, and suddenly the entire Grand Valley is on glorious display for you.
It's windy up there, as you might imagine. There's no plaque or bench or register or anything official. Just an empty pole where a flag sometimes flies.
You can see Utah, off to the right (North), and the vast, brooding expanse of the Grand Mesa to the left (South). Across the valley the Colorado National Monument looks like a big green pine forest (which almost all of it is), with just a tiny bit of color at the edge of the mesa, where the erosion has created all of those majestic valleys and left standing the spires and walls.
|View from the back of the summit knob. The meadow is center
frame, and the first, lower, plateau is to the right.
|Watch your step!
I started at 6am and it took me about 90 minutes to make the climb. I spent about 10 minutes on the summit, and was back in the parking lot by 9am. So the way back wasn't that much quicker than the way up. One reason was that I was a bit tired on the way back, but the other, larger reason was that this was an intricate, technical hike, full of careful foot placements and planning of footfalls, and that happens going either direction.
And the final leg, the erosion finger, was equally challenging going down, because the extreme steepness had my toes crammed into the front of my $10.00 sneakers, creating bruises under my big toes that are still there, 10 days later.
|Over the lip and onto the finger (ahem),
and MAN is that steep going down.
I felt very proud of myself for coming back and attempting this climb again, after failing so stupidly the first time.
This is a very advanced hike, and not for folks who suffer from vertigo, dizziness or an elevated fear of heights. The extreme elevation gain more than compensates for its short distance. Even if you are acclimated to this elevation, you'll be feeling this one the next day, like I was.
Angus McMahan
P.S. Good hiking guide HERE. I wish I had gone to this site before I attempted the summit. At the bottom there is a fun 1:45 quickie slideshow.
P.P.S. They really need more signs at the trailhead.

OK, After the big sale at Hobby Lobby, I need more space. I have two caddies, one wilton and the other is a tackle box. Can anyone give me ideals on what else I could use. I like have all my supplies together, so I really need something not too big, but bigger than what I have.
I haven't mastered that yet myself....here is a bump
kris, it's time to hit Lowes or Home Depot. I just added a much larger plastic tool box to my regular caddy. It's not too big 22 x 12 x 10", okay it's GINORMOUS but it holds all my fondant & gumpaste tools. It also has a nice lift out tray for all the little things that always seem to get lost.
I really like the plastic rolling carts with drawers. You can organize things into seperate drawers and when you need it roll it out of the closet and into the kitchen and back again when your done.
This is one of those age old questions. I'm not sure anyone of us have truely mastered teh delima on how to store cake supplies. It seems just when you have it all figured out you buy more and there goes your plan. It also depends on how much room you have, what supplies you have and so on.
I've done the rolling carts with drawers, bought on sale, and they worked great, but I have out grown them by buying more and more things. Right now I'm currently trying to buy enough plastic containers to be able to neatly organize my cake stuff. I'm putting like things together. Problem is no matter how many containers I buy I keep needed more.
I'm lucky enough that I have a whole room for cake stuff, so space isn't an issues, the bigger issue for me is finding a way that works best for me. Hopefully the shelves and plastic containers works out for me.
Also be sure to search the board for past posts, this topic has come up several times and there have been some good solutions in past threads on the topic.
I bought a huge fishing box from Gander Mountain that I LOVE! It has about 8-10 plastic trays that you can divide the way you want (With included plastic inserts), as well as a very large, deep storage compartment on top. This kit holds my gumpaste tools, icing tools, bags, tips, dragees, sprinkles, food coloring, icing roller, stencils, brushes, luster dust, spatulas...get the idea!?!?!
It's wonderful since I have a tiny kitchen...I just store it in the basement, and then count it as my workout when I have to drag it upstairs! HA!
Maybe we can get one of those "mission organization" shows to help a CC member get things in order! LOL!!
my husband gave me a rolling tool box from home depot (for christmas) and it holds all my decorating supplies. Has a pocket on side for books, removable tray that holds food coloring gel, pens ect. pull out tray for tips and two spacious boxes for spatulas, icing bags, parchment paper and whatever else you need. The lid also had two covered compartments for stuff I use all the time. It is lightweight and boxes are removable for easy cleaning. I used it while taking the wilton cake decorating courses and it saved me from having to make several trips from car to class to unload everything. I even had bungee cords to strap cake to lid (iced not decorated and boxed of course). I loved it. Now it sits in my pantry and whenever I need to make a cake I roll it out and everything I need is there. Now if I could find something for my cake pans and carriers!!! PS. was on sale for $24.00
oh dolfin I'm so jealous!!
I have 2 roller 7 drawer roller carts and love them! My pans are hanging on the utility room wall or in 4 large Sterilite boxes (with labels).
I have the big red steel rolling tool box from Wal-Mart that my son bought me for Christmas two years ago. The top drawers hold my tips for each different media (buttercream, royal), gumpaste tools/cutters, gel and dust colors.
The bottom, which is a cabinet with shelves, holds my Dremel, airbrush, hot glue gun, and hand tools.
What do you use your Dremel for?
Dremel uses -- For trimming pastillage, or smoothing rough edges on gumpaste or fondant flowers or leaves, spot sanding.
Hello here is an idea i went to Wal_mart and got a plastic hevey duty cabinet container on whells about $15.00 the 3 drawer is 12 and stored evey thing in it it has 3 small drawers and two big ones it looks good in my kitchen and does not use much room It is the area of where all the buckets and and stuff are. Hope it helps
Thanks Theresa. I never thought to use a Dremel!
The perfect thing for me would be a closet full of shelves but since I don't have that I really want to get a big craftsman tool box with all of the drawers and on wheels like my dh has for his tools. Maybe for Christmas lol.
I also have 2 of the tool caddys and I need about 4 more lol.

19 Best Loft Bed for Adults
Loft beds take us back to our youth, when we shared a space with a bro or sibling. There are lots of concepts for indoor layout that consists of loft space beds for grownups, and also are specifically ideal for tiny apartment or condos, as well as homes.
It has to be identified that the innovation loft space beds were wise and also fairly valuable suggestion. Loft space beds are utilized in order to conserve area, in order to in minimum square meters, to be positioned as lots of visitors, kids, soldiers, detainees or even more for anybody else, as needed by the requirements. We could see just how effective is the concept, just how approved as well as rewarding, by the truth that the loft space beds are still in usage, they are still prominent, as well as they are still generating, purchasing as well as offering.

ECHO Replication
Every year, new organisations replicate the ECHO model to increase access and capacity to provide health and educational services.
Becoming an ECHO replication partner requires the following:
- Learn more about ECHO to see if it fits your local needs and resources. Join one of our ECHO Network Sessions to learn more and explore the ECHO model by contacting the ECHO Business Development Co-ordinator on (028 90781836) or via the Contact Us link.
- We ask that partners sign two documents: the Statement of Collaboration for Replicating Partners and our Intellectual Property Terms of Use Agreement. The Terms of Use agreement are customised for each individual partner.
- Join us for Immersion training. We ask that replication partners join us for 3 days to learn the specific best practices of implementing the ECHO model and running a successful teleECHO Network at their own ECHO hub. We address partner/spoke recruitment and retention, curriculum development, hub IT best practices and data protection, use of iECHO tools and many more topics.
- Download the Steps for Implementation for more information on the timeline, steps and technical assistance available for replication.
- In addition to the steps outlined above, we offer the following additional support:
- Training and technical support as needed. This can include individual or group distance training in IT tools and resources, or support and technical assistance.
- Access to an extensive database of replication-related tools developed and used by the ECHO Institute in New Mexico and a number of other replication partners world-wide. Documents include case-presentation templates, disease-specific curriculum materials, grant-writing and budgeting resources, etc.
- Connection to the global MetaECHO community through our MetaECHO newsletter, monthly MetaECHO Community Calls, Partner Learning Session calls, and the global MetaECHO conference.

Also I will have to bid on the leaf removal, which they will just let me blow them right into the woods. It would help if you could give me a price for both. Thank you

Composite materials topics at Texas Materials Institute
Composite materials encompass a broad range of polymeric, ceramic, and metallic materials which consist of two or more distinct phases. Unique physical, mechanical, and electrical properties are achieved by combining phases in the desired architecture allowing the development of improved materials. Research on Composites is currently under way at the Texas Materials Institute in the following thrust areas:
Polymer matrix composites
Polymer-matrix composites are used in a host of applications from microscopic sensors to large structural members used in aerospace components. TMI researchers are involved in the characterization of existing polymer composties as well as the development of improved composites. Current projects include studies of the long term durability of composties used in the microelectronic industry and in the oil and gas industry. Novel polymer/ceramic superconductor composites are also being developed for use as optical sensors.
Ceramic matrix composites
The processing and properties of low-cost ceramic laminates as a replacement for fiber reinforced ceramic are being investigated. Synthesis is being performed of several transition metal oxides that find potential application as electrode materials for rechargeable lithium batteries. The materials obtained by the solution-based routes exhibit high storage capacity and energy density with excellent electrochemical cyclability. Investigations of the properties of novel oxides for use in fuel cells are also underway.
Metal matrix composites
Properties and process of metallic nanocomposites exhibiting a combination of low thermal expansion and high electrical and thermal conductivities are being investigated. The room temperature and elevated temperature performance of metal matrix composites for use in structural applications is also being investigated.

"Just as the royal frontier fortress has a gatekeeper—wise, experienced, intelligent—to keep out those he doesn't know and to let in those he does, for the protection of those within and to ward off those without; in the same way a disciple of the noble ones is mindful, highly meticulous, remembering and able to call to mind even things that were done and said long ago. With mindfulness as his gatekeeper, the disciple of the noble ones abandons what is unskillful, develops what is skillful, abandons what is blameworthy, develops what is blameless, and looks after himself with purity."As Jane goes on tripping over shrapnel from last week's mayhem.

"People protect what they love, they love what they understand, they understand what they are taught." -Jacques Cousteau
SHADOW offers inclusive and experience-based educational opportunities for students of all ages. Join us for a community class featuring local environmental experts; stop by one of our festive events; or plan a Wilderness Adventure for your school group or community club.
To date, SHADOW Lake Nature Preserve has placed over 100 acres surrounding Shadow Lake under permanent protection. The land that we steward is diverse, including a 5,000-year-old peat moss bog, upland forest, and scrub/shrub wetland. These critical habitats, within the Green/Duwamish Watershed, have a significant impact on the environmental health of the Puget Sound Region and provide South King County residents with access to green space in their own backyard.
Grassroots efforts drive SHADOW's restoration work and have powered our active restoration sites for over 20 years! Through Restoration Work Parties and stewardship events, community members are encouraged to take ownership of SHADOW's natural resources. The Nature Preserve aims to continuously improve local hydrology, animal habitat, and environmental quality through volunteer-led research, maintenance, and large-scale, succession forestry projects.
SHADOW Lake Nature Preserve has a long history, starting in the last ice age! Shadow Lake and Shadow Lake Bog are remnants of the Puget Lobe Glacier, which once covered most of Western Washington from the Olympic to the Cascade Mountains. The Puget Lobe carved out the Puget Sound and numerous lakes and wetlands throughout the region – including Shadow Lake. The peat in Shadow Lake Bog formed over a 5,000-year process of sphagnum moss decomposition.
The Nature Preserve's property was once a single piece of the complex wetland and forest systems located between the Cascade Mountain Range and the Puget Sound. These wetlands were home to native plants, animals, and peoples and naturally absorbed the more-than-average rainfall that we experience in the Pacific Northwest.
Throughout 19th and 20th centuries, European settlers began to encroach on the dense forest surrounding what was then known as Spoon Lake. SHADOW's upland forests were logged heavily, while the wetland system below was used as a dump site for old car parts and trash.
In 1995, with urbanization posing a continuing threat to these natural spaces, Max and Erin Prinsen purchased the 18-acre parcel of Shadow Lake Bog. The Prinsen family recognized the opportunity for this property to provide rare educational experiences, serve as an example of ethical land usage, and mitigate the growing effects of stormwater runoff in the region.
The nonprofit, Save Habitat And Diversity Of Wetlands (SHADOW), was born from this vision. Today the organization is known as SHADOW Lake Nature Preserve and has grown to steward over 100 acres of critical habitat.
Shadow Lake (then known as Spoon Lake) circa 1940.
Early SHADOW volunteers had to remove 110 dump loads of garbage before they could begin restoration efforts!

REMIT-Regulation of Energy Market Integrity and Transparency
Right from the start, ConocoPhillips has collaborated with research institutions and universities, which has led to innovative solutions that have had a major impact on the development of the fields in the Greater Ekofisk Area. After having produced oil and gas since 1971, we are now looking ahead to 2050. This would not have been possible without innovative ideas and solutions that have been of great significance for the company's business in Norway.
Our total research contribution to universities and research institutions since the dawn of Norway's offshore age in the early 1970s amounts to nearly five billion kroner. Some of the most important areas of research today are production increase from existing fields, integrated operations, more cost-effective drilling, multi-phase technology and Arctic engagement.
In 2013, we have approximately 80 research projects, most of which are carried out by Norwegian universities and research institutions.
When the Ekofisk field came on stream in 1971, calculations showed that it was possible to extract 17-18 percent of the hydrocarbons in the field with the aid of natural pressure. This figure has increased considerably since then, mainly thanks to water injection. Factors that improve the utilization of reservoir and geology-related technologies - and development of new technology within completion, process control and drilling, e.g. the horizontal wells of today, also play a major role. The Ekofisk South project will increase the oil recovery rate by around 2 percent, raising the recovery to 52 percent by the end of 2028, the current licensing period.
In 2002, the research center Corec (Center for Oil Recovery) was established as a collaboration between ConocoPhillips, the University of Stavanger (UiS) and the research foundation IRIS. The establishment of the center was funded by ConocoPhillips as operator of the Ekofisk, Eldfisk, Embla and Tor fields (production license 018). The research projects at Corec have been a key factor in enhanced recovery on the fields in the Greater Ekofisk Area. The center has also helped bolster petroleum research at UiS.
One major future-oriented project is 4D seismic (LOFS - Life of Field Seismic), launched in 2009. By utilising technology from the telecommunications and defence industry in a new and innovative manner, the integrated geological and engineering community in Tananger developed a system for permanent monitoring of oil and water movements in the Ekofisk reservoir using fiber optics. This is the world's first system of its type. 20,000 sensors, 4,000 listening buoys and 240 kilometers of fiber optic cables have been installed on the ocean floor, and seismic data is obtained twice a year or as needed. This acquisition of seismic data will gradually give a 4D picture, where time is the fourth dimension. This makes it easier to estimate how water and oil 'flow' in the reservoir – and this improves the well planning work.

II. EU law

European Council
The fundamental principles of the EU guarantees the free movement of:
The "Four Freedoms"
"The Union is founded on the values of respect for human dignity, liberty, democracy, equality, the rule of law, and respect for human rights, including the rights of persons belonging to minorities"
There is a hierarchy of law in the EU:
Note that EU law is supreme in domestic legal systems.
In the UK, the European Communities Act 1972 established this.
The EU only legislates in fields where it is empowered to do so by the treaties. Primarily:
Litigation in UK Courts & Tribunals
Provisions in EU regulations, directives and treaties can be used to argue on behalf of clients at – for example – social security tribunals or housing benefit appeals
References to the CJEU
Domestic Courts, if they are struggling to interpret how EU law works in a specific situation (and there is no previous cases to help them), can refer a set of questions to the CJEU Judges. They will then decide how the provisions of EU law were intended to be interpreted in this situation
If it is thought that Member States are not properly implementing EU law then individuals, organisations or other States can write a complaint letter to the European Commission. They will investigate and tell the MS in question what they have to do to become compliant with EU Law. If the MS disagrees, refuses to comply, or takes too long to comply, then the Commission can refer the MS for judgment at the CJEU where Judges can hand down hefty fines (France was forced to pay €78m in 2005 for non-compliance in relation to fisheries law)

One of the most famous of the family was Saint Gerlach (Gerlache, Gerlac, Gerlachus van Houthem, Gerlac of Valkenberg) (d. c. 1170 AD) was a Dutch hermit who lived near Valkenburg in Limburg. Originally a soldier, Gerlache became a pious Christian upon the death of his wife and went on pilgrimage to Rome and Jerusalem. In Rome, he nursed the sick for seven years and accordingly to legend, he transformed local well water into wine three times as a sign that his sins had been forgiven. Later, Jacob von Gerlach received his Knighthood from King Sigismund in 1435.

Players Get "Game Ready" With Mizuno Team Sports During "National Glove Steaming Week" At Dick's Sporting Goods
Athletes Nationwide Get Ready to Play in Minutes with a "Spring Steaming," Utilizing Mizuno's Innovative Glove Steamer
Mar 10, 2014, 08:00 ET from Mizuno USA
NORCROSS, Ga., March 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- With an estimated 4.5 million baseball gloves sold in the U.S. each year, many in the spring, Mizuno Team Sports and DICK'S Sporting Goods have teamed up to celebrate and simplify the age-old process of breaking in a new glove. Tapping into the innovative Mizuno Glove Steamer, players are invited to take part in "National Glove Steaming Week" presented by The PROS at DICK'S Sporting Goods from March 9 – 15 to get their new gloves in prime shape for the season.
"The busy schedules of today's youth make it difficult to ensure a properly primed glove for the start of the baseball and softball seasons," said Tim Rumer, Director of Product Management, Ball Gloves, Mizuno Team Sports. "The Mizuno Glove Steamer innovates the breaking-in process to leverage steam and a patented leather solution, Magic Soft, to shorten the process, yet still give players a competitive edge of performing with a well-conditioned glove immediately upon purchase."
Mizuno's patented process breaks in new, stiff off the shelf leather ball gloves, and instantly transforms them into "game-ready" condition through a steaming method and leather molding system. A select team of DICK'S Sporting Goods associates at glove steaming locations nationwide must complete a Glove Steaming Certification process to learn correct steaming methods. During the inaugural "National Glove Steaming Week" presented by The PROS at DICK'S Sporting Goods, any Mizuno glove purchased at a participating DICK'S Sporting Goods location nationwide will receive a free in-store glove steaming.
"The Mizuno Glove Steamer is an incredible tool I wish I had access to when I started playing baseball," said Adam Wainwright, Mizuno Brand Ambassador and national spokesperson for the National Glove Steamer Week promotion. "Breaking in my old glove was always such a painstakingly long process that seemingly took weeks, but with the glove steamer, it literally takes minutes to make a glove game-ready."
In addition, feature appearances by Mizuno Brand Ambassador Pro Athletes are scheduled for select DICK'S store locations in Arizona and Florida. The list of appearances* include:
March 12:
San Francisco Giant Matt Cain in Tempe, Ariz. (Emerald Center Store)
5 p.m. – 7 p.m. MST
March 13:
Chicago White Sox Chris Sale in Glendale, Ariz. (Arrowhead Towne Center Store)
5 p.m. – 7 p.m. MST
New York Yankees Shawn Kelley in Wesley Chapel, Fla. (Wesley Chapel Store)
6 p.m. – 8 p.m. EST
March 14:
Houston Astros Mark Appel in Orlando, Fla. (Waterford Lakes Store)
6 p.m. – 8 p.m. EST
*Additional player appearances pending. All dates and times subject to change. Check DICK'S Sporting Goods and Mizuno Facebook page for updates.
"In addition to players' and parents' excitement coming in during this time of year, it's also exciting for our team of certified glove steaming pros in our Baseball Shops," said Zack Duncan, Director of Marketing Planning, DICK'S Sporting Goods. "This is when they put their skill to the test and showcase how the Mizuno Glove Steamer is truly a game-changer, allowing players to leave our store with a brand new glove that is absolutely game-ready, versus having to spend the time and energy in breaking it in by hand."
More information regarding the Mizuno Glove Steamer and services is available online at www.mizunousa.com and DICK'S Sporting Goods The PROS Shop.

Went to the beach today, but the clouds didnt have any textures, but I had to try out this filter.
Dont know how it turned out. Are they good ? I know the noise is on the higher side, I am finding a way to avoid them, since several long exposures seem to heat up the sensor.

Poone Maize Blanket X Mountain Kingdom
or make 4 interest-free payments of $71.25 AUD fortnightly with More info
The Seanamarena Poone design dates back to the 1930's, when it was created by Charles Hendry Robinson, proprietor of the Seanamarena trading post in Leribe, Lesotho. The Poone (Corn Cob or Maize) remains, with the Chromatic, one of the most highly sought after designs in Lesotho to this day.
About the brand
Mountain Kingdom blankets are manufactured by a fourth generation family business in Randfontein, South Africa, near Johannesburg- first opening in 1953 and despite constant growth and improvements, the facility has been in constant operation on the same 17-acre location ever since. Now a fourth generation owned and operated family business, the factory was originally founded in 1950 by Dr. Rodolfo Magni when he and much of his family were forced to flee Italy in the aftermath of world war ii.
Though respectful of their Italian roots, the factory is a proudly South African company, with over 63 years growing, evolving and thriving within a dynamic South African political and economic landscape.
They are also an important and ethical source of employment in the textile industry, being the only fully vertical blanket manufacturing operation currently operating on the continent.

Assumption University (AU) is a private Catholic university with three campuses in the Hua Mak, Central World Plaza in downtown Bangkok and Suvarnabhumi areas of Samut Prakan Province, Thailand.
The university is led by the Brothers of St. Gabriel, who have been active in education in Thailand since 1901. Assumption University is noted for attracting large numbers of foreign students from countries including Russia, China, Kazakhstan, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and other Asian countries.
Students from China make up the largest number of foreign students. There are exchange students from the United States (Loyola) and Europe. Assumption University is also the first international university in Thailand.
Assumption University became an autonomous educational institution in 1969 when Assumption Commercial College (ACC) originated Assumption School of Business. In 1972 it became Assumption Business Administration College (ABAC).
In 1990 the college was granted a university status by the Ministry of University Affairs and took the name of Assumption University (AU). Recently, AU has been expanding the Suvarnabhumi campus with Gothic-style buildings and creating a nature-centered atmosphere it calls the "University in the Park".

We used the hotel for accommodation and for training - the training staff were excellent, couldn't be more helpful. The reception staff were mostly extremely helpful too. It was only the breakfast staff who seemed fairly indifferent and for whom the presence of paying guests seemed a bit of a chore. Rooms are a bit tired, but clean and well looked after.

An Original L&O: SVU Story
Summer 2008 by Patricia L. Givens
Disclaimer #1:This story is an original work of fiction set in the pre-existing world of Law & Order: SVU. As such, many of the characters and references used within belong solely to NBC, Dick Wolf and TPTB. I didn't gain anything here, so don't sue me…
Disclaimer #2:All original characters and storylines contained herein belong to the author. (Like anyone else would claim them! ) This story may be archived upon request with the stipulation that it must be posted exactly as it was written, with all disclaimers intact.
Disclaimer #3:This story depicts a romantic relationship between two women. The scenes may be graphic, but they are lovingly so. If this bothers you, then please feel free to give me a call and complain. I'm listed in the phone book under Off, Fuck. If you are under 18, then thank the gods there is no such thing as an age of consent for fucking with people's minds… I'd be looking at life without the possibility of parole… Locked up with women… taking showers… nothing to do but…uhm…hmm.. Hey, if this is illegal where you live, please let me know! I'll relocate immediately!
Who To Blame:Thanks must go out to Ky, for finally convincing me to come home from the Delta Quadrant and take a look at what was going on in New York City.
This story is dedicated to all the women that make our pulses race just by glancing over the tops of their glasses…
No little black glasses were harmed during the writing of this story, however one pair did get a good steam cleaning…
DAx /\ The EverBard
"Alex?" Olivia cracked the door open without knocking and stuck her head in, a frown creasing her forehead when she realized the ADA's office was empty.
Doing a quick visual sweep, she noted the expensive leather briefcase propped up against the chair and then the glasses tossed haphazardly on the desk blotter.
The glasses…
Olivia shook her head as she dropped her eyes to the floor.
Those fucking glasses.
Eighty percent of the time she could keep her hormones in check when the blonde was around. Well… maybe not in check, but at least somewhat under control.
Then Alex would look at her, her eyes sparkling behind those plain black glasses…
A sly smile crept onto Olivia's lips. Glancing behind her, she made sure the hallway was empty and then stepped inside the office, closing the door softly behind her. Moving to the desk, she slowly reached out and picked up the frames, turning them over in her hands as she felt her heart begin to race.
She closed her eyes and slipped the glasses on, leaning her head to one side as Alex's scent washed over her, that unique blend of jasmine and vanilla, mixed in with something that was so completely unique that even an entire afternoon spent ghosting the perfume counter at Macy's hadn't given up it's secret.
With a sigh, she crossed her arms over her chest, feeling the heat rise into her cheeks as her mind began to imagine what other fragrances Alex possessed… not to mention how she might taste… She groaned softly.
"Olivia? What are you doing?"
The detective spun around, her eyes flying open to see subject of her musings leaning up against the door frame, looking at her curiously.
"I'm sorry!" Olivia stammered. "I was… I just…" Then she blinked in confusion. "Alex?" A small smile curled the corners of her mouth as she watched the tall blonde's ears turn bright pink. Moving to stand next to her, she looked up at the ADA through the thin lenses. "These glasses don't have a prescription."
She watched in amusement as the flush traveled from the blonde's ears to her cheeks and then down onto her neck where it highlighted the smooth skin and gentle muscles in a completely distracting manner. Unable to stop herself, she followed the trail of pink as it dusted across the tops of pale breasts before disappearing into the low V of the counselor's shirt. Her gaze might have stayed there indefinitely if the sound of Alex not-so-subtly clearing her throat hadn't caused her to yank her eyes back up to meet furious blue ones.
"Take them off." Alex demanded.
"No." The detective smirked and backed up few feet. "Not until you tell me the story."
"Olivia…" The ADA's voice was low and husky, causing the brunette to stumble slightly as a spike of electricity traveled down her spine to sap the strength from her knees. "Take them off."
"No." Olivia swallowed. "Tell me."
The blonde sighed, pushing the door shut behind her before going to sit on the edge of her desk.
It was one of Olivia's very favorite positions for the ADA and she was hard pressed not to stare at her legs. Instead she cocked her head to one side and placed her index finger against her chin, hiding behind the snarky grin she was throwing at her friend.
"It was my second year in law school. I was chief counsel for the prosecution at mock court." Alex ran her hand through her hair, pushing it away from her face, but her eyes were focused on the floor and she didn't see the flash of heat and want that flooded the detectives face. "I pulled Roysin as judge. She was a tough old bird, but smart. I wanted to impress her." She laughed, a little bitterly Olivia thought. "The case was murder in the second degree. I had everything… witnesses, motive, evidence, all my briefs were perfect, all my exhibits unquestionable…."
Alex bit her lower lip. "And I lost."
"What?" Olivia felt her temper flare and almost laughed at herself. I'm pissed off about a fake case she lost in law school… Jesus Benson, get a grip! She took a deep breath. "What happened?"
"That's what I asked Roysin. She said… She said…" The ADA rolled her eyes. "She said that juries were human, and that the best arguments in the world wouldn't do a damn bit of good if no one was paying attention to them."
"Ooookay…." The detective shook her head. "I'm obviously missing something."
"According to the 'jury' my ass was infinitely more interesting than my pontificating."
"Oh." Olivia bit the inside of her cheek. "Uhm… how did you dress back then?'
Alex's face flushed bright red. "The same way I dress now! At least for court."
"Well, there you go." She sat down on the desk next to the attorney and nudged her playfully in the ribs. "You've always had the best ass in the courthouse."
The ADA tried to frown at her, but Olivia could see the edges of a smile on her lips.
"That still doesn't explain the glasses."
"Ahh, well. I decided I needed something to draw attention away from my other assets. Something people could focus on that wasn't-"
"Perfect?" The detective finished with a grin.
Alex bumped her shoulder against Olivia's affectionately. "Something like that."
"Well, it didn't work." The brunette took a deep breath and looked directly into clear blue eyes. "Because you're still perfect."
Their gaze held for several long moments as the space between them seemed to fill with an energy that neither of them could explain or deny. Finally, Alex took a shaky breath and looked away.
"It did work." She smoothed her hands across the tops of her thighs, trying to ignore the dampness of her palms. "Once I put the glasses on, nearly every jury was mine. And even the ones that didn't go my way, at least I knew they were listening."
Olivia nodded. "They do add yet another oh-so-subtle level of intensity to you, Ms. Cabot. But tell me, why do you wear them outside of court?"
Alex groaned and hung her head slightly, finding it impossible to meet the deep brown eyes watching her intently.
Olivia put her fingers under that perfect chin and raised the ADA's head until they were looking at each other again. "Tell me." She said softly.
Alex sighed. "Do you remember the Sullivan case?"
The detective quirked one eyebrow. "The guy who lost his car in a poker game and decided to offer his buddies some time with his daughter instead?" She shuddered. "Like I could forget it."
"That's the one. I could feel the jury pulling back, trying to distance themselves mentally from the ugly picture I was trying to paint for them. So when I went back to the table, I put my glasses on. And when I looked up… there you were in the back row." She took a deep breath and stared directly into the detective's eyes. "I watched your face change…"
Olivia swallowed, trying to control her breathing as her heart rate increased.
"Most people, they sit up a little straighter, they lean forward a little bit more…" The blonde's eyes slid down to fixate on Olivia's mouth. "You licked your lips."
"Uh… Alex…"
The ADA ignored her. "Then I saw your teeth bite down on your lower lip as your cheeks flushed… as your eyes, somehow, became even darker. You had your hands on the back of the bench in front of you and I could see your knuckles turn white as your fingers tightened." She let out a shaky breath as she whispered, "You looked… hungry."
A warning siren went off in the back of OIivia's head as her inner voice screamed at her to go, to turn around and walk away. She could make up a reason later, but right now she needed to leave… fast. "Uhm… I need to get back to the precinct." She started to turn. "I'll talk to you la-"
Before she could take a step she felt strong hands grab the front of her jacket and found herself pushed backwards against the office door as Alex's body pressed into her. The blonde's face was less than an inch from hers and she could feel quick ragged breaths wash over her lips as Alex moved in even closer.
"You asked the question, detective." The ADA growled. "I'm not going to let you run from the answer. I kept wearing the glasses, because you kept looking at me like that every time you saw me in them." Closing the distance between them, she pressed their mouths together.
Olivia gasped as desire, hot and liquid, settle briefly in her stomach before sliding down further to create an intense ache at the juncture between her legs.
Alex took advantage of the moment to slide her tongue between the brunette's lips, moaning quietly as she sampled the sweetness of the other woman's mouth. Her hands released Olivia's jacket to slide possessively down her sides. Hooking her fingers into the belt loops of tightly fitting jeans, she used them to pull the older woman's hips even closer.
"Oh, god…" Olivia groaned loudly as she spun them around, sliding her knee between Alex's thighs as she buried her fingers into soft, honey-blonde hair. When the younger woman began to shake, she pressed into her harder, her lips sliding down to bite roughly against the pale, elegant throat.
"Oh…." Alex arched her back, pushing herself tightly against the delicious pressure between her legs. Her eyes shut tightly as she felt the detective's incredibly soft lips dip low into the V of her shirt. "Liv..."
Voices from the hallway outside finally broke through the passionate haze that had enveloped them and Olivia's eyes widened as she realized she was about to take the ADA right there, right up against the unlocked office door. She pulled back, walking over to place both of her hands on the edge of the desk as she hung her head, taking in deep, even breaths.
Olivia looked up to see Alex standing where she had left her, her hair out of place, her shirt almost completely unbuttoned. The blonde's eyes were half-closed, her voice barely more than a whisper and the look of unbridled desire on her face was almost enough to shake the detectives resolve. She could see herself lowering Alex to the floor… imagined running her hands up those smooth, pale thighs to bury her fingers in the warmth and wetness she knew she would find there…
Groaning, Olivia pointedly fixed her eyes on the desktop as she slipped her feet back and began doing pushups, counting loudly in her own head as she tried to push the vivid images out of her mind.
This time there was amusement in the counselor's voice.
"Just…stay over there." The detective ordered. "Gimme a minute."
Alex leaned her head to one side and smiled fondly as she watched Olivia work up a sweat. When the older woman finally stopped her calisthenics, she closed the space between them, wrapping her arms around her from behind. "Feel better?"
"No." Olivia grumped, earning a gentle laugh from the ADA. "God, you make me crazy."
"I noticed." Alex lowered her head and pressed her lips to Olivia's neck, enjoying the detective's sweet scent and the salty tang of her skin. "Would it help if I told you that you have the same affect on me?"
The brunette turned in the embrace and placed her hands on Alex's hips. "It might." She smiled shyly. "It would help even more if you agreed to have dinner with me tonight."
"I'd love to." Alex kissed her softly before resting her chin against Olivia's forehead.
They stayed that way for several long minutes until the detective finally chuckled. "So… you lied."
"I did not!" Alex protested through her laughter. "I never once said that I needed glasses!"
"Ahh, but by your actions, you implied it." She tsked softly. "At the very least, I think that would constitute misrepresentation." Olivia smirked. "Do you know what that means?"
The ADA raised one eyebrow.
"It means that buried deep down inside that staid, perfect girl façade…" She pressed her body up against Alex, grinning in satisfaction as the blonde's eyes closed and her breathing became shallow. "…is a very, very naughty girl trying to get out."
It was Olivia's turn to groan when Alex pushed back, rubbing her chest back and forth lightly so that the detective could feel the sharp points of her nipples beneath the cream colored silk. "You think so?" She whispered.
"Oh god, I hope so…" Olivia breathed.
Their lips met in a soft kiss, one that hinted of the passion that simmered wildly just beneath the surface of their self control. When they broke apart, Alex ran her fingers across Olivia's lower lip.
"I'm sorry I lied about the glasses."
"Don't be." The detective's smile shined brightly through her eyes as she pulled the glasses off and settled them gently on the lawyer's perfect nose. "All the better to see me with."

Ashe Build Guide by Fsbg
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!

Ashe Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
AsheAs a direct descendant of Avarosa, one of three legendary sisters who each claimed dominion over the scattered tribes dwelling in the icy tundra known as Freljord, Ashe mirrors her ancestor's unparalleled mastery of the bow. Ashe has come to the Institute of War in service to the Institute's summoners, seeking enough influence and favor to finally bring peace to her realm - a realm that has endured civil strife since the Time of the Three Sisters. With enough victories under her belt, she hopes to have the means to finally claim the throne that had long eluded Avarosa.
Ashe is one of a few hearty souls from Freljord who can claim the title of Frost Archer. Along with her mastery of the bow, Ashe is renowned for her resourcefulness even in the most dire of environments. She has mastered the ability to channel the frigid climate of the tundra into her arrows, slowing her foes with but a single flick of her wrist. She can even deliver a vicious shot from hundreds of yards away that freezes even the strongest of foes in their tracks. As tenacious as she is beautiful, she has earned the respect of ally and foe alike on the Fields of Justice.Better Nerf Irelia
This is a great skill in the beginning of the game or when you are coming back to a lane from a recall or headed to a gank. Make sure if you are looking to use this effectively to save your shots and not hit any minions for bit. Towards the end of the game you will be critting much more often and thus its not as useful as some other characters.
This is a VERY powerful slow, with some attack speed you can keep the slow up on a person even through a cleanse. The mana cost of this is negligible so put it on if you think it will help
This skill is your bread and butter, you will be shooting this off almost every time it's up.
Helps you get some extra gold later in the game. Nice, but not as good as your other skills so you will be leveling this last.
Even after the nerf to damage and stun duration this is still a powerful ulti, make sure if they have banshee's to strip them off with a volley before using this.
For skills take your ulti and volley every time you can filling the extra levels with slow arrow, pick up (Hawkshot) for last.
Vampiric Scepter ->The Bloodthirster

Get Mercury's Treads if they Have.
-Main armor penetration Greater Mark Of Desolationx9 Greater Quintessence of Desolationx3
-Secondrary Critical Chance And Armor Greater Mark of Desolationx9 x9
Summoner Spells
I prefer Flash
and Ghost
but you can take Cleanse
too instead of ghost
Ghost-Your Champion ignores unit collision and moves 27% faster for 10 seconds. Haste (Utility) Cleanse– Increases movement speed by 6% to 33% faster and lengthens the duration to 11.5 seconds.|
Removes all control debuffs, silences and blinds from your champion and reduces the duration of subsequent stuns, slows, taunts, fears, snares, sleeps, and immobilizes by 65% for the next 3 seconds. Willpower (Defense) – Reduces cooldown by 20 seconds.
Flash-Teleports your Champion to target nearby location under your mouse cursor. Blink of an Eye (Utility) – Reduces cooldown by 15 seconds.
In summary this is an aggressive build but you do need to play carefully, aggressive does not mean careless.
A few Tips as well, if you are going to die in a fight, don't turn and run right near the end, that just solidifies the victory for the other person, stay and fight, you might get some lucky crits dodges or maybe someone will make it to you in time to help, running at 15% life rarely works.
if you have the chance to shoot a champion or minion take the champion every time, getting them low on health will let you either have control of the lane killing all the minions they want while they recall, or they will wait too long in the lane and u can ulti arrow kill them.
Pros / Cons
Pros: Huge damage output
Good lane pushing/tower killing
Good Farmer
Cons: Fragile even with the banshee's
If you get focused or stuned more than once you are most likely dead.
-Low mana
Creeping / Jungling
Priority of jungling and runes go to other champions but if no one needs them they can help you with extra damage and reduced cool downs, once you have the bf sword you can solo dragon if you are level 9 plus, make sure your team gets him every 6 minutes, it makes a huge difference in the game.
Ashe's volley allows her to be an excellent farmer, at the end of the game you should have double or triple most people's minion kills.
Team Fight
In team fights your job is to spam volley if both teams are facing off but not committing yet, this will do a lot of damage and take of banshee's veils and if you are lucky bait an enemy into getting themselves killed before the team fight starts. Once the Team fight starts find your way to the back and unload on their carries, keep frost arrow on to keep them from running, a well timed ulti will destroy the enemy team or let yours escape when you would all die otherwise.

:lol: :lol: :lol:
I don't think they care...they still get money...but that is kinda pathetic:lol:
What a joke.
That's hella funny.
I wish the ps2 would die so we stop getting there ported games.
I liked my PS2 and it had a long gaming life. My most favorite games happened to be for the game cube like Metroid and Wind Waker but I had allot of very good titles for the Play station 2 and spent many a hour playing them.
Too bad Sony decided to go off the deep end with their new console. I was really excited about the PS3 until I learned how much it cost. Then I found out what the Wii was bringing to the table with their new Wii-mote and then I lost interest all together.
What is funny is my friend bought a Play station 3 at the same time I got a Wii. We decided to have all our friends and family over to his house one weekend to play them. Let's just say the Play station pretty much stayed turned off while all had a ball playing the new Nintendo. It's no denying the Wii is a party system.
i think the ps2 outsold all the next gen consoles lol not to sure..but remember reading it some where ..
I remember seeing (somewhere on this forum) that the best selling console at the moment is the DS followed by the ps2
