Best Hunting Destinations in Europe
Whether you hunt deer in France, Iberian mouflon in Spain or wild boar in Italy, every part of the European countries may offer an amazing hunting experience. Hunting journeys here are always combined with experiencing rich history and culture, and ancient hunting traditions are passed down to every traveler. What is more, Europe's countries are exceptional due to their mixed and diverse landscapes; untouched forests and the endless mountains are perfect for large variety of game species to thrive. On the other hand, famous cities, such as Paris, Rome or Barcelona invite to combine your hunting trip with some sightseeing pleasures. These countries also offer very good trophy quality, which, we believe, is what you are looking for in the first place. You may also choose the level of adventures that you prefer – from mountain hiking to Monteria, every hunter will find his own perfect journey.
Discover below the three most amazing countries in southern Europe that every hunter should visit at least once in their life.
As France is one of the largest countries in the Europe, it also has two-thousand-year-old hunting traditions. French aristocracy started to build hunting heritage years ago that now can be passed to hunters from all over the world – and this is exactly why you should visit France. Contrary to what you may think, the country is still very forested; what is more, the landscape is really diverse here, including fields and mountains. France is following the European trend to manage game only by professionals and mostly on private estates, therefore game quality is extremely high here.
The most popular animals here are roe, fallow and red deer, wild boar, mouflon, alpon and Pyrenean chamois, and, of course, world-famous bird shooting. High quality hunting may easily be combined with fine wine, French food and sightseeing, which can lead to a wonderful family vacation too.
Hunting is a big part of Spain's culture, therefore every hunter is more than welcome here. The highlight of this country is mountain hunting, which gives an outstanding opportunity to hunt mountain game such as several varieties of ibex, chamois and Iberian mouflon. Wide forests and farmland offer many other game that can be found only in the Iberian Peninsula. You can also prepare to find the red stag, Iberian wolf, Balearia boc, Barbary sheep, roebuck and other animals. Being a leader in wildlife management, Spain offers excellent quality hunting trips and trophies. What is more, almost every hunter that comes here has heard about Monteria – the hunt that is driven in the Montero Hills. Once a famous royal entertainment, Monteria now is available for big game (red and roe deer, wild boar) hunters from all over the world. And don't forget about an attractive opportunity to combine leisure time and hunting – skiing, taking sun baths or sightseeing – whatever you choose, we guarantee that it will be an amazing adventure.
Italy is one of the southern European countries, famous for its fine food, good wines, rich history and culture, and of course, hunting traditions. They started long ago – here in Italy, you can find some of the oldest gun manufacturers, such as Beretta. They like it or not, this has formed an outstanding hunter community, that is now open to enthusiasts from all across the world. Bird hunting is something in Italy, but if it's not your game, the wild boar or stalk roe deer hunts in Italian countryside will give you an exceptional experience also. Most hunting trips are held in northern part of the country, such as Tuscany, Sardinia and Umbria. Hunting is highly regulated here, therefore be careful and study all of the information before planning your trip.
As you see, there are amazing hunting destinations not far from you, and they are extremely attractive as well. We believe that the culture mixed with traditions and variety of game are the most attractive features to go and get lost in hunting adventures just now!

Do you think that nationality has its place in art?
It has ... and greatly supported by faith or religion.
From which authors do you get inspiration?
At Home there is a library of artists ... I am learning, analyzing. I am interested recently in Byzantine mosaics and the eternal in-depth study of Impressionism (Claude Monet) and especially Paul Filonov.
What, do you think is the place of visual arts in today's life? Do you think art can influence the public life?
Art can influence the public path of development in countries with centuries of cultural tradition (England, Spain, France). If artists pay attention to their self, they can practically everywhere, but not always hear it and see. Or it is not his/her time ...
Which books are you reading lately?
Memuarnye and archived publications of the lives of creative individuals (Renoir, Picasso, Vrubel, Korovin, Shemyakin)
Are there any projects you are working on at the moment?

Technique "mosaic tsvetopisi" is a complex combination process that combines several creative phases: - Drawing the plot figure soft materials (pastels, charcoal, graphite); - Implementation of acrylic (tempera) painting a given color scheme and in accordance with the contour of the figure; - Given the color palette, is a manufacturer of mosaic spots of vykrasok acrylics, which are pieces of paper, selected for color and tone multi-layered prikleyanye to each other under the action of heat; - Unification of mosaic spots in the track corresponding to the previous painterly decision by high regime pasting the scenic base. - High-duplication across the mosaic composition on a canvas. The attractiveness of manners technology Oleg Lazarenko "tsvetopisi mosaic" is that the printing ink stains and layers of subconsciously and visually relates to the viewer's perception of the world-famous mosaics of Ravenna and Byzantine paintings, as well as to some extent resembles the technique of Ukrainian "vyshivanok (stitches) and modern methods of computer graphics (3D pixel image). Reviewed by way of executing the image (in particular the portraits of the Apostles) has no analogues in the visual arts and is a world novelty.
How do you see your future?
THE FUTURE - I want to have many creative projects and I hope for the possibility to organize exhibitions in famous art galleries. I would also participate in the auction and will be happy if more of my artworks are in private collections. I would like to travel to many museums around the world and to be a pilgrimage to holy places ...
Would you say in one sentence what is the art for you?
Art in my life .. this is my eternal MAGNET ... and life style ..
Art is a self-transcendence

The Story About The Man Who Vacuum-Cleaned His Living Room For A Woman
We men have gone a long way since we eradicated the mammoth in the golden days of "scratch yourself wherever you like". It once was a man's world, though we had no cars then. But since Diner caves had no windows, there was no need for it anyway. Instead we still could impress the girls with the good old fire trick. "Do you have a light" derives from that and is until today a classic female pick up line. Since then we lost more and more control over the process. While…Read More

Dear mom,
Three years ago is the last time we spent a mother's day together. We were at overlook hospital, all I could remember is how much I wanted you to get better and come home before I left for my summer job in Pennsylvania. This mother's day is special to me because recently I took a second to look around and see all of the good that is in my life and I have no one to thank except for you.
If only you could see the person I've become I know you would smile. You always used to tell me "stay focused" and literally that is all I've been doing since you've been gone. I will never forget those words. I will never forget how hard you used to push me or how upset you'd get at me when I used get bad grades or when you used to get phone calls from school about my "bad" behavior because all I wanted to do was make you happy.
Mom I understand now, I understand that you weren't mad at me you just wanted the best for you son, you knew what I was capable of long before I did.
Thank you for never letting me settle.
Thank you for always being hard on me, you never let me slack.
Thank you for always letting me fall down but always being there to pick me up.
Thank you for working so hard to build me up but, you never once tried to tear me down.
Thank you for always keeping it 100 with me no matter the situation you kept it real.
Thank you for always having my best interest in mind even when I didn't want you too…
You taught me so many lessons but never forced me to read a book.
Thank you for showing me the world is simply what you make of it.
Thank you for making me feel what love really is.
I wish you were able to walk me down the aisle at my wedding if that ever happens….
I wish you were able to meet my future wife, my future children, see me buy my first house and let me make your bed so you can sleep in it just once.
I know you'll be there watching over me making sure I become the very best I can be. You always tried to keep all of those "fast little girls" away from me. Yes, they still stay far away from me….
Without your words I do not know where I would be today.
Thank you for everything you've helped me become, and everything I didn't become.
Words can't describe how thankful I am for everything you sacrificed for me your son.
I love you,
Sincerely yours,
Zaire Ali

Yom HaAliyah, Israel's newest holiday. The 10th of Nisan
Shalom Michael,
I would like to call your attention to a missing Israeli national holiday in your Hebcal holiday list. Specifically I am referring to Yom HaAliyah. It is Israel's newest national holiday.
Yom HaAliyah should be listed in HebCal on the10th of the Hebrew month of Nisan. The 10th of Nisan is when the Torah says Joshua crossed the Jordan with all of Am Yisrael at Gilgal, and that is the official date of the new Israeli national holiday according to the bill passed by the Knesset on June 21st, 2016.
I don't know if you want to add it also, but the Yom HaAliyah bill mandates that schools in Israel also teach about Aliyah on the 7th of Cheshvan near Lech Lecha because on the official Yom HaAliyah date of the 10th of Nisan, the schools are not in session.
MK Micki Zohar in Knesset on the passing of Yom HaAliyah into law:
To copy/paste the Yom HaAliyah bill's first clause "of course its in Hebrew:
Thank you for adding this. It is crucial as many public calendars use and trust your website when setting their dates.

R. KellyR. (1995)
Текст песни с переводом слов R. Kelly «One Man» из альбома «R.» (1995).
One Man
Baby, I'm sorry
(Not gonna let you down)
Sorry for the things that happened to you, babe
For what he did
I'll show you that I'm not gonna do those things that he did to you
I'm gonna love you I'm gonna hold you
I'm gonna give you everythign that your heart desires
You don't have to question love
Cuz when I get home I'll show you love
I know you're hurting baby
Because of what he did
But here I am to rescue you
From that man of sin
He took your life from you
And noted you for him
Promised you brighter days
But now your light is dim
He had no right to do
The things he did to you
If I had half a chance
Girl, I'd be good to you
Don't let don't let don't let don't let
Don't let what happened in your past hurt our future
1 - One man can make one women hate all men
Tell me why is it that
One man can make one woman hate all men
Makes a woman hate all men
One man can make one women hate all men
I'm sorry that he took your heart and did you in
You lived your life a lie
Now it's time to seek the truth
If it takes the rest of my days
I'm gonna make it up to you
So you let your guards on down
I don't want to go no rounds
Cuz baby, I'm here for you
Truly, truly here for you
Don't let don't let don't let don't let
Don't let what happened in the past hurt our future
Repeat 1
Girl Im' sorry that he took your heart and did you in
I'm not tryin' to hurt you
(I'm not tryin' to hurt you pretty baby, pretty baby)
I just wanna make sweet love to you
(All I wanna do is make you feel good all over)
While making love all the things

Compton reflects on professional, college career
Michael Compton, offensive line coach at The University of Virginia's College at Wise, lived out every football player's dream as a third-round draft pick in the 1993 NFL draft.
A native of southwest Virginia, Compton graduated from Richlands High School and then went on to play starting center at West Virginia University on a full-ride scholarship from 1989 to 1992. In 1993, Compton was picked 68th overall in the third round of the NFL draft by the Detroit Lions.
"I didn't even think about the NFL until the NFL Combine," Compton said. "I just wanted to be the first in my family to graduate college."
After eight years with the Lions, Compton furthered his football career with the New England Patriots before finally landing himself with the Jacksonville Jaguars to end his 12-year NFL career. Compton also notably won two Super Bowls with the Patriots in 2002 and 2004.
Compton had a young daughter at the time he was drafted to the NFL and he said that providing for his family was his top priority. Compton said that when his time with the Jaguars came to an end, he decided to move back to southwest Virginia to be a part of his three kids' lives, as well as to start his teaching and coaching career.
"While in the NFL, I kept my teaching license renewed because that was important to me," Compton said.
Compton got his start as a substitute teacher at Tazewell High School in January of 2007, which is when he was asked to be an assistant football coach at the school.
After spending two years coaching under Bobby White with the Tazewell Bulldogs, Compton decided to move on in order to build his resume. Compton took a head coach position with Patrick Henry High School in Glade Springs, Va where he coached three seasons before moving on to coach at the collegiate level.
Compton coached for two seasons at Fairmont State University, and for two seasons at Bluefield College. He then moved on to coach for Concord University before finding his home at UVa-Wise.
Compton said after leaving Concord, he was unsure of whether he wanted to take a year off, or to continue coaching. But Compton got the opportunity to interview with Cavaliers head coach Dane Damron and is now in his third season here at UVa-Wise.
"The biggest advice I could give at any level of football whether it is Division I or Division III, what you put on film, what you do in practice, and how you perform at a game is what matters," Compton said. "Once they [NFL scouts] get your name, if you get lucky enough to have a scout come watch you practice, you have to have a great practice because people come to compete, and there is always someone out there trying to replace you."
Compton said that the NFL never seemed realistic to him. He said "a lot of kids have a blurred perspective, but the NFL is an elite group of athletes." Compton said that academics are of the upmost importance to him.
"The only way to compete [in the NFL] is to outwork, out study, and perform." He said to, "focus on the little things because the big things will take care of itself."
Compton worked for everything he's had in life; his mother was a nurse and his father was a coal miner. He said that his mother kept him grounded and he set goals to get him where he is. Compton said, "with good luck, grace in the Lord, good things happened."

10 Professional Slanted Wire Shelving Galleries
Related photos in this project:
Other recommended ideas:
Slant Wire Shelves - I loved this concept a lot, i simply had a shelf set up over my washer/dryer like it!! I didn't do the caddy although. I have the front loaders with the pedastals so i didn't have the space. I am so excited for the enterprise!!!. The glamorous and delightful impartial escorts in pakistan women are the greatest excessive fine models always attract the clients . Omit pinky have attractive determine properly-maintained warm look from up to down. You may be inspired with the maximum incredible series of first-rate juicy pakistani escorts service name us we've got the first-class choice for sexual a laugh.
I don't bear in mind any of the specifics- sorry! I'm positive i just befell upon them in the shelving/agency phase of a domestic improvement keep or walmart/goal kind store, but that become 7 or eight years ago. Hope you discover some thing ideal in your present day need!. Small storage shelf i discovered at domestic depot for $17. It's known as a "hanger shelf" and also you additionally should placed it the wrong way up from it's authentic intended use for it to match this venture. I really like it the wrong way up better anyways:) wish this helps a person out!! I have snap shots of my stop end result, but i don't know how to share them on right here. If i discern out a way to accomplish that i will put up them!! Thank you once more!!.
Just found your weblog from a pinterest pin. I really like this concept and it's far just what i needed to see. I additionally am jealous of these excellent, massive laundry rooms once i see them, however i don't need to dedicate all that floorspace to laundry! Having a small laundry region does make it vital for me to hold the laundry executed too. Love your publish & your thoughts, specially the upside-down tilted shelf. Would really like to suggest which you put a metallic lid (like a cookie tin?) Over your electric socket in place of your sock hanger. You don't need to add a fire-starter source in your laundry room. I suppose you can attach your sock thing to the outdoor of the tin for decor (or paint an exciting join up it - or just use a ornamental tin). I attach a delicates bag to each of my four laundry baskets (darks; whites; colors-blue/inexperienced; colours-crimson/yellow) - i rarely wash separate delicates hundreds, so having the separate bags makes washing them (most of the time) with normal masses easier. Sorting is executed as dirty laundry is put inside the closet (& people empty their pockets & zip zippers, too). Also - my baskets are the scale of my washer capability, so when the basket's full, it's time to try this load.

Let's come together to do what we can, today
Scroll Down
When I was six years old, I was sitting at my Grandmother's side and holding her hand, when the life went out of her body.
Even at that young age, I experienced the sudden realization that everything is connected.
The seed of a lifelong search for meaning in action was planted.
That seed sprouted when I was 16.
I moved from Brooklyn, New York to rural Maine to be a part of a transformational learning community focused on Environmental Studies. I had grown up with Socially Conscious parents, and now I was headed in that direction myself.
So it was completely natural that a few years later I chose to go to Graduate School in Denmark to be a part of a new program that brought people from all over the world to study the world's biggest challenges. I had already lived in Nanjing and Jerusalem, and had seen first hand some of the issues we collectively face. Now, my closest friend was from rural Pakistan, and I had colleagues from many other countries including Australia, China, India, and Germany.
The curriculum was project-based and interdisciplinary with a focus on the relationships between technology, economics, and policy. These conditions gave me the ability to collaborate in teams across different industries, backgrounds and approaches that I still use every day.
When I came back to the US I moved waaaaay off the grid to a solar powered cabin on 87 acres in rural Vermont.
I also became the first hire at a new consulting firm. I discovered the joy of entrepreneurship as the firm quickly grew, in just a few years making the Inc. 5000.
We focused on analytics – the pipeline from data to decisions – and I loved helping Execs think in new ways and making great strides! I was really proud that, for example, we mapped a research-based strategy for the most profitable and efficient path to market entry which the client used to establish a multi-billion project partnership. In another example, we did a thorough analysis of profitability by customer segment that resulted in sales improving by 15% year-over-year, and translated into more than $100 million in increased sales per year.
This kind of results led to 100% of our clients coming back to work with us again and we were named Best Small Consulting Firm to Work For.
There was a question that welled up in me more and more.
It went back to holding my Grandmother's hand, this feeling of interdependence, and the knowledge of all the challenges humanity is facing.
The question was:
To what end?
What was the end result of the work I was doing? Who was it ultimately helping? How was it changing the systems we need so desperately to shift?
The excitement of our firm's fast growth and all I was able to learn and contribute at first kept me from thinking too deeply about this question. I had become a Partner at the firm. By many outer measures I was a success.
Over time though, I started to see that even though the results I was getting were amazing – they weren't focused on the world's biggest challenges.
I was living a dual life – off-the-grid and focused on sustainability on the weekends, and literally jetting off (there goes my carbon footprint!) to corporate consulting clients during the week.
Something had to change.
It came into focus one summer when I managed to pause the 15 hour work days long enough to go on a quiet retreat.
So much happened over those next 12 months.
I moved across the country.
I breathed more deeply.
And I left the firm.
Ever since then I've been helping people and businesses working on solutions to our most complex challenges - from the climate crisis to social inequity - find ways to grow.
I have an aching to make the world a better place, and not in a better-mousetrap kind of way.
I am part of a movement to transform our economy to truly put people and our planet in the center. I am utterly devoted to accelerating the transition to this regenerative economy because I believe that in this transformation is hope.
Be Well,

Yesterday I mentioned that I snagged a box of T206. I did so without any particular idea of what I want to do with the cards. I definitely am not looking to complete the set, as it sounds way too tedious and annoying to even attempt it. I just picked up the box because the contents look kind of fun.
I am starting to think that after opening about six packs (no hit yet), that I am leaning towards the retired players cards. I think they are pretty jazzy looking and I think that I would like to collect at least each of those as well as the usual suspects that I already collect. Most likely everything else will be up for grabs. I am really looking to convert T206 cards into either:
1: Turkey Reds from Updates and Highlights
2: Topps High Numbers base and short-prints
3: Goodwin Champion Base and short prints (I forgot that I am shooting for that set).
Either way, I will start posting up some stuff tonight starting with some minis and my hit from the random packs I bought the other day.
A hint? Think Chuck Norris.

"Dude" has become a remarkably versatile word that can be used to describe a variety of people or express a whole host of emotions. But when "dude" first arrived on the linguistic scene, it meant something very specific. This video traces the history of "dude" from a word to describe 19th-century hipsters to its many uses today.
Writer dude Arika Okrent and artist dude Sean O'Neill teamed up to make this duderiffic video for Mental Floss.

Welcome to the BGS Secondary School
We warmly welcome you to what is considered to be one of the most innovative and contemporary teaching and learning spaces in Australia, The Urwin Centre for Learning.
Opened in 2014, this beautiful, modern and spacious building is designed to reflect and reinforce our motto 'Let us pursue better things'. The technology rich flexible learning spaces support the learning needs of all boys by providing a variety of options including: large group lectures, collaborative team-oriented activities, spaces for small group withdrawals or one-on-one individualised learning and regular classrooms for explicit teaching.
The pedagogy underpinning these flexible learning spaces focusses on engagement and the development of 21st Century skills and competencies. Teachers work in teams, utilising their individual strengths, to design a creative, innovative and engaging curriculum that intrinsically motivates boys. The variety of learning tasks and the use of the space enables boys to develop their ability to; take the initiative and be enterprising, communicate clearly, work with others, solve problems and self-manage.
Adjusting to secondary school can be a challenge, but your son will soon discover that he will always be well supported by our staff and will develop a genuine sense of belonging very quickly. We work hard to ensure boys embrace the breadth of opportunities that are available throughout Year 7. We are committed to fostering their natural curiosity, while they are establishing new friendships and learning more about themselves and the community in which they learn.
– The Secondary School Team
Understanding Transition
Year 7 marks the transition from primary to secondary school and is significant in the life of every boy. This is a time of enormous change – cognitive, physical, social and emotional.
At this stage of their education, boys experience new challenges including a larger physical environment, new teachers, a larger peer group and increased opportunities for self-awareness and independence. Our experience shows in order to manage these challenges successfully, boys and parents need guidance, support and information. The Year 7 Transition Program aims to provide this to each boy and his family.
By the time your son arrives in the Urwin Centre for Learning, he will be familiar with the physical grounds, his peers, the teaching staff and the School culture. Our Transition Program aims to build confidence and resilience in your son as he begins to develop positive relationships with key staff members and a new peer group.
We look forward to meeting your son and working with your family. We actively encourage each and every boy to embrace all the wonderful and varied opportunities on offer.
Scott Davies
Head of Transition
7 Tips for Year 7 Transition
Year 7 brings together boys from the BGS Junior School, boys from a number of local primary schools and further abroad. Our goal is for each boy to have a seamless transition into Year 7, ensuring he feels secure and engaged in his new learning environment.
Here are some transition tips you may find useful:
Get to know BGS by accessing and reading the weekly eNews will give an 'insider's' view of the Secondary School. Please click here to view the latest eNews. For day-to-day operational information, downloading the BGS School Stream App will provide you with all you need to know.
Make sure your son is familiar with any new travel arrangements. Very often the move to secondary school means travelling further to and from school on public transport. Organise a Myki and ensure your son knows where to get on and off! You may find it useful to go on a 'test run' during the summer holidays.
Organise School uniform and be mindful your son will grow. Listen to your son and be aware he may have some concerns about his changing environment and social groups. This is to be expected. Contact your son's House Tutor if you have any concerns or would like some strategies to help manage these changes.
Once he has started at BGS, encourage your son to join in school activities as this is a great way to make new friends with similar interests.
Help your son to develop effective learning habits. Work out a daily timetable that incorporates all his activities and interests. Explain that while your son is responsible for his learning, you as parents want to be involved and look forward to hearing all about his day.
Assist your son to develop good organisational skills. Encourage him to pack his bag each night for the next day – resist the temptation to do it yourself!
Understand that change can be tiring. Help your son maintain good sleep routines. See the school position papers on sleeping and nutrition.

There are many different types of knives. Knowing the difference between types of knives and the applications of each knife variety can help you on making the right purchase. You wouldn't use a kitchen knife as a boot knife. Neither would you want to bring a folding knife with no lock into a military combat situation. Tactical knives are usually built for military, law enforcement and personal defense situations. There are subtle differences that are unique to each type of knife and knowing the difference between a "regular" knife and a "combat" knife can be instrumental in helping you choose the right type of knife for you. Here is a list of things you should consider when buying a tactical knife:
- Reputation
When buying a knife – for any purpose – you should always look at the reputation of the knife maker. A Bob Loveless blade is obviously going to outperform and outlast a $15 blade imported from China. Check to see if the manufacturer you might be buying from has a good warranty. You'd be surprised how many companies don't offer warranties or are shady about honoring their products. Get your knife from a company that is reputable and is known to honor their warranty. Your knife might need a service or repair at some point. Don't get burned.
- Folding knife or fixed blade knives
Some people like a blade that is fixed in place. Some knife owners prefer the portability of a folding blade. Know your applications and your preferences. A point-man or door-kicker is going to have different needs for his blade. A knife collector may just enjoy the hunt for finding the perfect knife. A fixed blade is better for prying, cutting and chopping due to no possibility of damaging the lock on the blade itself. A fixed blade is going to be inherently stronger.
- Knife Locks
This usually comes down to personal preference. I will say this though: if you are going to buy a folding blade, make sure that the company has a fantastic reputation. I wouldn't trust my finger or hand with a $20 lock. This also goes back to the question: what is the application of the knife? If you are a knife collector looking for a new and exquisite piece to add to you collection, a lock may be exactly what you are looking for. If you are a SWAT officer, having a fixed blade may be more up your alley. Many people in the military will not swear by a lock due to the risk of breakage
- Knife Handles
Handles can be made from plastic to titanium to stainless steel. The list can go on and on. In a tactical knife, you want a handles that won't absorb moisture. Look for something that won't shrink, check or crack. Opting for something like a polymer or a composite is a good idea, as it won't absorb sweat, oil or water.
- Knife Blades
For tactical knives, your best option is a good quality stainless steel.
- Knife Size
Any design of knife should be purpose driven. The size of the knife should reflect the application. A folding knife with a blade 3 to 4 inches long or a fixed blade with an overall length of 8 to 9 inches should be the perfect size to carry on your person.
- Ergonomics
Refining a design for the most efficient use possible is the point of ergonomics. The way a blade fits in your hand, how it feels, and the design of the handle are all important. There should be no sharp edges or any area that can pinch the skin on your hand. You should also be comfortable with a handle while cutting or under stress. Over-pronounced finger grooves can force your hand into a pre-fixed position. You should always keep asking the question: what is the application of this particular knife?
Custom Knives
Knowing what knife is right for you depends on a variety of factors. Are you a collector or a hunter? Are you a SWAT officer or a chef? Not all knives are created equal. I have a fantastic collection of knives available on this site that may suit your needs. In recent years I have tried to specialize in mostly higher end Custom knives for my site. Bill Moran, Bob Loveless, Ron Lake, Buster Warenski and Jim Schmidt are some of my top picks. Lately I have been collecting a number of the newer Italian makers and have been successful in locating those hard to find knives for my customers such as Moran damascus knives and rare Bob Loveless pieces. I accept consignments on a strictly limited basis. Please contact me for more details if you have a knife or knives that you wish me to sell for you.
I greatly appreciate your taking the time to experience my site and personal knife collection.
All the best,
Dave Ellis, ABS, Mastersmith

"The Reppie project is just one component of Ethiopia's broader strategy to address pollution and embrace renewable energy across all sectors of the economy," said Zerubabel Getachew, Ethiopia's deputy permanent representative to the UN in Nairobi.
"We hope that Reppie will serve as a model for other countries in the region and around the world," he stressed.
Samuel Alemayehu, managing director for Africa of Cambridge Industries, echoed this sentiment, saying to CNN that he hopes to develop similar waste-to-energy plants in major cities in Africa where landfill is over capacity, such as Lagos, Nairobi and Kampala.
"Having created a facility uniquely for Africa, our goal is to duplicate it in five locations," he says. "We are targeting cities that are in need of building a new landfill."
He added: "Our goal is to build this facility and also to create a renewable energy source that competes with fossil fuel-based power plants."
Waste to energy has multiple benefits: saving land space, generating electricity, preventing the release of toxic chemicals into groundwater and reducing the release of methane into the atmosphere.

Obstructive parking in residential areas is a serious problem of which the council is very much aware. We have no powers to restrict the number of vehicles that residents own, nor where people park vehicles on the public highway where there are no restrictions in place, other than introducing restrictions of waiting (double yellow lines), limited waiting restrictions (single yellow lines) or verge & footway prohibition. The only option available to the council is to increase the number of off street parking spaces, but this can only be done if suitable land is available, and the council allocates funds for the construction costs.
A list of streets that suffer the most parking congestion is maintained. Each of these have been assessed, scored and ranked. Finance that has previously been made available enabled priority to be given to the worst affected areas first.
There are also a number of garages available to rent in many areas of the town. For more information about renting a garage see the link on the right.
Please use the online reporting form to report a problem or if you would like advice on parking issues please contact us using the details on the right.

Let's Play: Pokemon Ruby Post Game 4: In which we face off against evil
Pages PREV 1 . . . 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 . . . 23 NEXT
Fuck Yeah I would live there. Just give me an Eevee, a Pokedex, and a backpack full of dreams!... I would be dead in a week.
You know, I don't think I've ever seen anyone die in pokemon. Does that mean people there are immortal?
people die in pokemon. The number who die is proportional to the darkness and maturity of the portrayal of pokemon.
for example, in the manga (the darkest of the series):
(Warning: Massive spoilers!)
Pokemon Black and white, maybe. To be honest,I'm not sure this year. Almost All of the games that I played a lot and/or fell in love with this year were 2010 or before.
Oh? If you don't mind me asking, what games were those? I played quite a bit of Dragon Age Origins last year as well. That was a pretty fun game.
Let's Play: Pokemon Ruby 19: In which we mess with the afterlife
Question time: Do you/did you ever read the pokemon manga series and if so what did you think of it?
9 hours, 9 persons, 9 doors
Read it. Was good. You knew this already.
AH! I missed two updates! D8
Part 18:
Also Im glad to see Im getting training., maybe now we'll see more of me XD
Mini Update 5:
My personaly GoTY is either Catherine or Black/White. Both were great games, one showed Atlus is more than SMT and could use choice system effectively (or at least betterthan the average games) while also having an adult smart plot. The other revitalized the series, and is probably the best sequel to the game since G/S/C with the pokemon it added and the game mechanics.
Part 19:
I did read the manga, and Ihought it was pretty good. It was better than the anime really, though I never got into the whole "ash vs red" debate that internet had.
Yes I did and I love it, the series is in my top 3 manga series.
Also Like EmeraldrafeI also never got into the "Ash vs Red" debate, especially since you really can't compare the two characters.
TM 12 is taunt.
As for lemonades, I really don't like using healing items, but if I am to use them, I'll likely fill up on those above the other items.
Especially since neither universe has toilets.
Either Portal 2 or Arkham City. Those two were the most fun that I've played so they win.
I finished up to the yellow arc and waiting for my friend to catch up.
It is in a word awesome,though as I mentioned earlier everyone is kind of an asshole. Still a very fun read and moves at a really nice clip.
I see.
By the way, I don't know if I've asked this, but where is your avatar from? It looks like I've seen it somewhere in passing.
Except for Fallout, which has plenty of toilets to drink from.
Probably the best part of the series is that the villians seem threatening and the heroes are not only competent, but are exceptional in their battling due to their intelligence.
Let's Play: Pokemon Ruby 20: In which we watch something get jacked
Question: Did you ever collect pokemon cards? For a while when I was young, I did. But then I dropped the hobby around generation 3.
Oh, and I'll be catching a Wailmer soon. Naming time again!
I still collect the cards but only for collectors sake that and I still think they're pretty cool, although I no longer play the actual card game anymore.
Now nicknames, the only I can think of is Moby Dick but that sounds too cliche.
Franky? as in Franky the Wailmer.
Used to play Pokemon cards all the time in Generation 1. Then Yugioh stole my money.
As for the Wailmer, let's call him Ishmael.
Oh, crap that's right, haven't played Fallout in forever.
I was never any good at the card game, to be honest. Mostly because the rules confused me.
Ishmael? That's a pretty good name. But what if it's a woman?
I wasn't very good either, probably why I stopped playing.
I like Ishamael as well, but how about Wilma if it's female?
Uh....I have no idea.
"Wilma" is a rather good name, as is Ishmael. But I'll keep the naming autosuggestion open. But f
It's long, hard, and full of sea men.
I collected up until the mid-end of the 3rd generation. then I realized that having no one to play with, I was wasting my money. I also collected Yugioh and Magic up until the same point.
That said, I still love the game (the pokemon tcg gameboy game is really fun.)
as for the name, pick any from here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moby-Dick)
I prefer Queequeg, personally
Personally, I had some cards until a while ago, when my mother gave them away (with my permission) to a special needs child who really loved them. So I feel like it wasn't a total waste of money :P
By the way, how do you pronounce "Queequeg"?
yup still following just haven't had the urge to comment on any of the questions. But I was way into the first generation of cards. Even had the GBC game. Then Yu-Gi-Oh came around.
You know, for some reason, I never got in to Yu-Gi-Oh. Perhaps it was the element of dark magic that my mother (A conservative christian) didn't like that made the game stay out of our household.
It was hard NOT to get into Yu-Gi-Oh for me. All my friends played it, everyone else in school played it. Hell by the time the second week the cards was out I was the only one in school who didn't have a set to call his own. That changed once the fad fell out of popularity/was banned from school.
They almost banned the cards from my school, too. But they decide against it.
It fell out of popularity rather quickly, and people just talked about the anime. Which I never watched.
It's Fuuka and Koromaru from P3 on the Velvet room couch. Found it when I was looking for a Pub club banner and liked it better than my last Fuuka avatar, so I ended up using that and Fuuka Persona Summing close up as my banner.
EDIT for Update 20: I collected them when I was younger but never knew how to actually play the game so I made my mom play a weird version of it with me because despite that totally believable post about my all my friends, I didn't have that many(shocking I know) and none really liked Pokemon(more into Digimon)
As for the Wailmer: Skitty, named for this trope http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HotSkittyOnWailordAction,yeah it's kinda immature but I still laugh at it everytime
Yu-Gi-Oh cards (along with Pokemon cards did get banned at my school).
Of course the only thing that did was encourage everyone to collect and bring them to school. Kids would find secluded spots in the school and trade the cards to each other like an illegal drug trade in a dark alley.
In retrospect it was pretty funny.
That is pretty funny. But it's not at all shocking, after all. If you create an incentive for an illegal market, one will start to exist. And when pokemon is outlawed, only outlaws will have pokemon!
Let's Play: Pokemon Ruby 21: In which we go sailing
Question time: Who else in your family plays pokemon, if anyone? For me, it's really only my younger brother and my cousins.
pronounced Kwee-Kweg.
Lol at the IED & 99% joke.
no one in my family plays and neither do my friends (hence why I never play)
Well, as I said, you can always bookmark this thread. I change the title of the thread whenever I update. But if you'd like me to message you each time, sure. I suppose I could do that.
1% of the trainers have 60% of the pokemon!
Occupy Pallet Town!
By the way, if you don't mind me asking, how did you come up with your name, Mr. Sextus?
Alright, I'll be sure to do so.
But yeah. As I said, these guys are just such cartoons of villains. They're really no threat.

Two nights ago I finally got the chance to see a comedian I've loved for years, Neil Hamburger, America's Funnyman. For the unaware, Hamburger is the persona of Gregg Turkington, who is rarely seen in public as anyone other than Hamburger (some recent footage of Turkington as Turkington with Tim & Eric's Tim Heidecker, not that exciting). His jokes are crass, poorly recited, the pacing is off, and he frequently digresses into incoherent tangents about any number of things, from Bill Haley & His Comets to why Eric Clapton is a scumbag, all while barely keeping the lid on a volatile temper. Hamburger handles hecklers, bound to pop up at most of his shows, by hurling mixed drinks and vicious insults at them.
It was great, and lived up to every YouTube video, late night stand-up appearance, and movie cameo I'd ever seen of Hamburger, and it felt great to be watching him in a tiny club with a hundred or so ("Three hundred or four hundred people" according to Hamburger) people that loved him and knew his act cold. Fans called out punchlines, suggested jokes or routes of conversation, or just fucked with the guy, and Hamburger manned the room like a pro, despite his bumbling persona. Turkington has the character down to a precise science after performing for a decade and a half, and it was truly bizarre seeing our Funnyman in the flesh for the first time, his comb-over longer and disheveled, his hair covered in what had to be a whole bottle of Astro Glide.
I went with a few friends who'd never heard of Hamburger, and only vaguely understood the concept of his set. Reactions spanned from enthusiasm to agitated boredom—one acquaintance walked out for a cigarette 10 minutes into the set only to be called out by Hamburger ("HEY WHERE YOU GOIN' ASSHOLE"), but another was enraptured the whole time. One friend of mine didn't know what to think, whether his jokes were supposed to be as bad as they were, or if he meant to keep spilling his mixed drinks everywhere. A bit dense, honestly—nobody could see Neil Hamburger and think he was sincere. I was just surprised he didn't make any Japan jokes, though I guess he saves most of his ire for benign celebrities and tabloid fodder ("Why did Madonna ask two of her background dancers to shit in her mouth? Hey—sssshe's ssssssingle agaaaaaain!").
The set was mostly old or re-worked material, but one bit caught me off guard: Hamburger started to set up a joke about gay men, but got stuck on the word "gay" and screamed it a maddening number of times, starting over the joke periodically only to scream "GAY GAY GAY" louder and longer than before. At first I didn't think much of it, then it was annoying, then it reached a point when it all just washed over you like a good drone. As my friend said afterward, "it became like a feeling" rather than a word, and for the last few of those 10 minutes of the routine, it really felt like Hamburger was warping the minds inside of Baltimore's Ottobar. Bret Easton Ellis would call Hamburger Post-Empire; I'll leave it at America's Funnyman.

Second Run releases Dragon´s Return
Second Run releases Dragon´s Return as its fourth title of the Slovak classics series and presents it to the English-speaking audiences. Eduard Grečner's film is following the Second Run DVD titles of Slovak Golden Era Sun in a Net, Birds, Orphans and Fools and Pictures of the Old World.
One of the most exciting discoveries in all of Slovak cinema, Dragon's Return is a ballad of love, revenge and desire. The story is the adaptation of the novella of the same name written by Dobroslav Chrobák. Grečner had been dazzled by the book´s lyrical qualities, but he was also daunted by the challenge of transposing those qualities to film, of rendering visually the interior, 'invisible' realities that the novella captures so poetically.
In the exclusive Second Run´s interview Grečner reveals his tough path to the shooting of the film: "The director Stanislav Barabáš, to whom I had offered the script, encouraged me with the decisive declaration: ´Only you can film Chrobák´s text. ´However the theme of Dragon´s Return was not what the people in charge wanted. They wanted contemporary themes, about the building of socialism. It was very difficult to get support to realise the script. It succeeded under the pretext of ´putting the treasures of Slovak literature on film´. But this diplomatic pretext was also true. Chrobák´s prose is such a treasure: the lyrical form of the story, minimal in dialogue and rich with the atmosphere of the landscape and the people that I love. I then went through a struggle to give visual form to this suggestive prose text – simply put, a struggle not to ´spoil´ its beauty."
Grečner struggled with it successfully. His hauntingly poetic film is also an authentic, revealing account of peasant life in a world isolated from history and ruled by superstition - beautifully realised by Vincent Rosinec's luminous monochrome cinematography, and enhanced by an award-winning score from Ilja Zeljenka.
Peter Hames, expert in Czech and Slovak cinematography, describes the film by the words: "An intersection between modern art and folk culture... an eternal ballad about the essence of life"
The official release date of the DVD is August 24, 2015. The DVD is presented in HD restoration, with new English subtitles and features a new essay on the film by author and academic Jonathan Owen accompanied by exclusive interview with the director Eduard Grečner.
Second Run DVDs are available in stores, through the website of Second Run and all the online retailers such as:
Dragon´s Return on Amazon

Travel the World in Comfort and Style with KLM Royal Dutch Airlines
Their country may be relatively small in size but the Dutch are still synonymous with plenty of quality exports. Good beer and Gouda naturally spring to mind, but they're also responsible for one of the most iconic airlines around, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines.
KLM are one of the most recognisable airlines flying today, and while we all know their Dutch heritage, many Joes might not be aware of the airline's extensive destination list and just how dedicated they are to delivering you the best travel experience possible.

The best spring haircuts for men
Four styles to get you through the most fickle of seasons
Get your own personal stylist to help you find clothes you love. All online, completely free
The stylists at Thread see a lot of clothes – it's an occupational hazard – so when they see something they really like, we take notice. This week, they've been feeling stuff designed to beat weird weather without dropping style points. They're where form meets function.
"Worker jackets are really popular at the moment and I love this one," says Isabelle Harvey, "The slightly burnt orange colour is great – it feels different from all the green and navy options that are around – and would look really good with lighter-wash denim."
"Just looking at this shirt feels like summer to me," says Alice Watt. "It's vivid and colourful, but not so garish you'd feel uncomfortable wearing it. I'd keep everything else simple so the shirt is really the statement."
"I love linen on formal trousers," says Luke McDonald. "It immediately relaxes the formality, so they work really nicely with just a t-shirt tucked in or a simple cotton knit. They'll give your outfit a laid-back Riviera feel."
"A great minimal leather trainer, but with a slightly sportier feel," says Millie Rich. "These Vejas are the type of shoe that you can wear with everything from shorts to suit trousers, and know you'll always look good."
"A Cuban collar is one of the styles of the moment," says Alexander McCalla. "You'll see all your mates in them this summer, so get ahead of the game with this one from Levi's. It mixes pattern and colour but in a considered way."
"It's great to see more and more organic fibres as brands become more environmentally conscious," says Brooke Philips. "This pattern can work alone but, because it's a classic stripe, it looks great layered up and won't pull focus from the rest of your outfit."
"A rain jacket will serve you well year-round, so this is a great trans-seasonal piece," says Toby Standing. "It's lightweight, making it a great outer layer as the weather gets warmer, but is also really practical when every day brings the risk of a downpour."
"You don't have to give up your jackets when it gets hotter," says Freddie Kemp, "You can – and should – still layer with versatile lightweight jackets. It will keep your style interesting."

How to get volaility input for the indicator?
And to change the default indicators formula?

Unfortunately this is currently not possible. I know one of our formula writers here looked into making a custom version but ran into floating point (precision) issues. This could possibly be handled through an external DLL.
As a longer-term goal a more advanced analytics/formula language that can handle these precision issues is something we're working toward.

Campaign ::: Miu Miu Spring/Summer 2010
There is always something about Miu Miu that has the: I WANT IT factor. I saw the new chunky heeled platform shoes weeks ago and the birds on them reminded me of Marc Jacobs satchel that I had a crush on most of last year. Just when I thought I was over it, Miu Miu puts the swallow birds back on the radar.
The campaign hints towards the impression that after Alice in Wonderland, we will ride the Lolita-train a bit more this fashionable year. The model looks very young, innocent, non-adult sexy but still like she knows what to do to make those shoes look superb. The look juxtaposes schoolgirl-chic meets business-hippie perfectly.
This is what Lolita's grand-daughter would look like today. I think Vladimir Nabokov would approve of this campaign. BRAVO!
The perfect fit ::: Bonfire by Memoryhouse
When I discovered this amazing video I immediately thought:
>>>This piece of experimental filmmaking art is like the perfect dress.<<<
Multiple invisible layers but yet lightweight. A wide range of colors forming accentuating parts without bold brightness. Ingenious cutting. Subtile sexiness without objectification. The look of an everlasting summer. It is made to fit the subject and highlights the beauty that's already within the subject. All in all the matters of music-video or person-dress have the ability to form a harmonious symbiosis when chosen thoughtfully as is the case in the video above. But most importantly: The perfect dress as the perfect song is a timeless favorite that might exit our centre focus for a while but resurfaces time and time again and will never leave us.
Enjoy this short but impressive piece of perfection by Memoryhouse and Jamie Harley.

Review ::: Berlin Press Days 2010
Dear readers,
don't be scared for I won't be writing much. I think the photos speak for themselves. Photos below were taken at the showrooms for labels represented by Prag PR, Agentur V and Arne Eberle. The labels ranged from high-end and well established to newcomers which was shown in their choice of presentation but what they all had in common: they tasted like BERLIN.
**Stylist turned designer RIKA**
More on my favorite new discovery later. I need to dedicate a whole entry to this new label that awoke my enthusiasm.
++Modern knights with mesh from lala Berlin++
++Newcomer accessories label 'dauphin'++
The presentation took place in the biggest suite of Berlin's Ritz-Carlton Hotel. And let me tell you that much – amazing view, amazing location and over the top superb catering. I didn't want to spare you the impressions.
++Acne Women's & Men's A/W 2010/2011++
Both collections are inspired by aviatrix Amelia Earhart. The 1920′ tomboy female pioneer's spirit can be found in a feminine-masculine balance of rough materials and shapes vs. soft suede or silk and free-flowing shapes.
For a more detailed review on the collection please click here.
A very young label from Berlin that always surprises me. This time with lively colors for the darker seasons and a shoe collaboration with Onitsuka Tiger. LOVE. Amore. Liebe.
Smart cuts in harmony with a variation of modest coloring. The item on the first picture is a bag! I had to think about the jumper on my way home when I saw the bunny paste-ups in Linienstrasse. BERLIN, I LOVE YOU!!!
A big thank you to all agencies for their invitations. See you at the next Berlin Press Days!
Your Strytllr
*Something is coming up…Sssshhhhh*
And I am not the one to tell…now. I can keep a secret.
The whole secrecy made me think…and I remembered that song by De La Soul – Can U Keep a Secret. Oh those memories!
The irresistable oxymoron: SILENT Tokio by Damir Doma
Slowing down in an urban atmosphere comes down to one thing: we need to define the calming space ourselves and if we won't allow us to blind out the noise and stress factors, nobody else will be able to find it for us. Beautifully done. Love how the fashion is integrated. A must see!
Look to kill for: Jose Duran Spring 2010
Unconventional design, colors that range from brights to light beige and deep black – creations from the Dominican Republic born designer Jose Duran never miss to get you your proper attention. I fell in love at first sight looking through his Spring 2010 lookbook and I started immediately to research on who this up and coming young talent is. What probably caught my attention the most about Duran is the fact that he is a storyteller himself like using his creations to reproduce an ancient burning of a church in his family's village. (Interview with Jose Duran)
It always fascinates me how much of an impression storytelling has through authentic depth and serves as a global understanding. Thank you Jose!

All-Ukrainian NGO Coalition for Persons with Intellectual Disabilities
NGO «Human Rights Organisation «Human Rights»
Public organisation 'Ukrainian Association of Family Medicine»
Regional Center for the Granting of Secondary Legal Aid in Kyiv
Idea - to involve in provision information about human rights and advocacy of persons with ID through first contact points the majority of this target group are addressing sooner or later: Family Doct
Building advocacy capacity of Ukrainians with ID and their legal representatives through their guaranteed access to information about rights (advocacy literacy info) and effective ways of advocacy will be done through dissemination of advocacy ABC leaflets in easy language in the contact points, such as family doctors, centers of free legal help, NGOs as well as through performances on advocacy issues of inclusive theatre (of persons with intellectual disabilities and volunteers) to students
Kyiv and all regions, Ukraine
Persons with ID are excluded from democracy processes, they don't know about rights and participate in decision making. The Advocacy ABC will be developed in simple language, printed and distributed at all contact points where these people can be reached, also, provided through social networks
All persons with mild intellectual disability and their relatives (more than 100 thousand Ukrainians) will get access to info about their rights and opportunities to influence decisions through special web page and the leaflet with advocacy ABC in simple language
The info message about the rights of persons with mental disabilities will be prepared by law experts, then written in simple language and tested by the group of self-advocates with intellectual disabilities, a special web-page will be established, a series of 10 3-minutes videos will be filmed and put on the web-page. A leaflet with advocacy ABC will be distributed at the Family Doctors' ambulances, network of free legal counseling, more than 100 advocacy and service provision NGOs
I have son with ID who didn't fully realize his human rights as until now I didn't know about all his rights. I initiated establishment of a local service NGO and the national umbrella network for 116 NGOs to advocate for their rights, one of task is families are to be informed about their rights
Self-advocates with mental disabilities
Family members of persons with intellectual disabilities
Human rights advocates from NGOs
Family Doctors and free legal advisors (the first contact persons to people with mental disabilities)
We would like participants of platform to share their effective experiences of advocacy for persons with ID and especially those of their self-advocacy: how could you involve them into advocacy, how can you motivate community members to support them, how are they involved in democracy processes

FDPD, Faiferlick team up for women's self-defense
Women interested in learning how to defend themselves will have the opportunity to learn self-defense skills and more this Saturday at the second annual Fight Like a Girl event.
The class is a collaboration between the Fort Dodge Police Department and Faiferlick Martial Arts.
Officer Caitlin Carlyle, of the Fort Dodge Police Department, came up with the idea for the class last year.
The event is largely the same, although this year some prizes will be awarded.
"We'll have some raffle items and then some door prizes," Carlyle said. "Our raffle item is a gift card for a massage and all those proceeds will go to the Lotus Project."
The Lotus Community Project is a shelter that supports homeless women and children.
Carlyle said last year's event was well-received.
"I think it went well," she said. "I think we had great turnout. Hopefully, people took away something."
Fight Like a Girl will begin with Carlyle and Webster County Sheriff's Deputy Amy Stringer giving a presentation. It will be followed by Justin Faiferlick, owner of the martial arts studio, giving self-defense demonstrations and allowing participants to practice those skills.
The event will be held at the studio, 567 S. 25th St. Registration starts at 10:30 a.m.
Participants will also receive a free bottle of pepper spray and a portable alarm.
Women who are at least 18 years old can participate in Fight Like a Girl. Carlyle suggested they also wear comfortable clothes as they will be moving around quite a bit.
Self-defense classes such as Fight Like a Girl are important for many reasons, according to Carlyle.
"I think it gives back power to what would feel like a powerless situation for some women," she said.

"[Samuel Whitbbread] spent the evening of 5 July [1815] in frenzied discussion of the finances of Drury Lane with his solicitor, and on the morning of the 6th, after a badly disturbed night, killed himself by cutting his throat.
The surviving evidence seems to suggest that while Whitbread retained his sanity until the moment he took his own life, he suffered from a severe physical disorder of the brain which, with the immense exertion required to fulfil his manifold commitments, destroyed his metabolism and deeply disturbed his mind. As a result, he began to exaggerate his financial problems and became increasingly prone to unreasonable agitation over trifles. Whether he was driven to suicide by a sense of guilt over the failure of the Drury Lane venture to realize the expectations of the investors, or by a paranoiac belief that the fall of Buonaparte symbolized the failure of his own career, must remain a matter for speculation.
Both friends and opponents acknowledged his outstanding qualities of honesty, courage and humanity. He had, in the words of Lord Glenbervie, a 'powerful coarse intellect' and, as Holland noted, an 'extraordinary readiness and indefatigable application in business'. The remarkable range of the interests and causes which he espoused prompted Sir Robert Heron to judge that 'few men have been so extensively useful to the country'. His passionate oratory and fearlessness in debate made him one of the half-dozen dominant figures in the House after 1807. Williams Wynn wrote that when he got hold of 'the right nail' he 'drove it with a sledge-hammer, in a manner which no other man in the House of Commons could reach'. But there was an unfinished quality about Whitbread, whose coarseness more often than not intruded into his speeches. Byron called him 'the Demosthenes of bad taste and vulgar vehemence, but strong, and English', and William Wilberforce recalled that 'he spoke as if he had a pot of porter at his lips and all his words came through it'.
More serious defects in Whitbread as a politician were vanity, arrogance, lack of judgment and wilfulness. Holland wrote that 'vanity made him impracticable' and that 'flatterers and dependants engrossed his society, and not infrequently perverted his manners and judgment'. Williams Wynn commented:
I have seen him repeatedly quit a strong question which he could have urged with great power to run after some tub which had been purposely thrown out for him by his adversaries, and which he struck at totally without effect.
Heron's observations on the same theme were:
In Parliament, his bad taste, and, what is perhaps the same thing, want of judgment: above all, his impracticable disposition, and total want of co-operation, diminished greatly the advantages which might otherwise have been derived from his great ability as an orator, his experience, and his incorruptible firmness.
Romilly was more charitable and thought that 'the only faults he had proceeded from an excess of his virtues'.
Whitbread's career ended in political failure and personal tragedy. It might have been otherwise had he obtained office with the 'Talents', though this can hardly be taken for granted. By 1808 the breach which had been opened between him and Grey was being inexorably widened by the intrusion of basic differences in their political attitudes. Whitbread's personal disappointment and political extremism became mutually sustaining. It would be unfair to question the sincerity of his espousal of reform, even more so that of his campaign for peace; but his motives were complex, his emotions tangled, his ties with orthodox Whiggism too close to be severed completely and his ambitions for office still keen. Consequently, his extremism was fitful, erratic and often equivocal and his radical potential was never fully realized. He might well have been able to make a valuable contribution to the development of the Whig party, but such opportunities as occurred after 1808 to re-establish a durable working relationship were lost as a result of his own wilfulness, his jealous resentment of Grey, his susceptibility to the flattery of the mischievous and largely insignificant men with whom he surrounded himself and, not least, Grey's failure to assert his authority over Whitbread, whose waywardness was a symptom as much as a cause of the disarray of opposition in this period.
As a parliamentarian, he certainly made his mark. Holland wrote at the time of his suicide that
it is no slight homage to his character that at a moment when the grief of everybody seemed to be engrossed by some loss in the battle of Waterloo, his death should have made so deep and so general an impression. Truth is that, with all his failings—and some he had—he was not only an able and honest, but a most useful public man.
Wilberforce commented that Whitbread, 'with all his coarseness, had an Anglicism about him, that rendered him a valuable ingredient in a British House of Commons'."
— "WHITBREAD, Samuel II (1764-1815), of Southill, Beds" by David R. Fisher. Published in The History of Parliament: the House of Commons 1790-1820, ed. R. Thorne, 1986

I wrote an email to the principal of a school in my neighbourhood, giving praise to a little but kind act their students do every morning. It's an email that I've wanted to write for the longest time and I'm glad I did it.
Thought I summarise the entire thing in a prose so here it goes…
the LATE compliment – by Flex Tio
I probably observed these students,
For a year or two or more,
Who will queue up at the traffic junction to cross the road to get to school every morning.
While there is no rules telling them to queue,
It's definitely a gracious act.
For the w a l k w a y is narrow,
Space only for two abreast at best.
I showed my friends and colleagues
The niceness of these young kids.
A promising bright tomorrow in the making,
As we will one day entrust this world into their hands
As we pass from this earth
I told my friends and colleagues,
I've always wanted to write to the principal,
Telling them what great kids they have.
Members of a considerate society that we are badly in need of.
You see, little great gestures are seldom praised today.
Yet little mischief are greatly condemned.
I want these students to grow up knowing,
The little things counts too,
They are NOT ignored,
They are NOT taken for granted, and,
They are appreciated.
There are some who told me why bother?
They are probably
forced encouraged by their teachers to do so.
(But that's not the point!)
And then THERE'S procrastination.
AND then there's work.
And THEN there's play.
And then there's ALWAYS something better to do.
(But that's not the point!)
A week ago, I stopped all my procrastinating nonsense.
Past my bedtime soon but that doesn't deter.
An important email awaits the principal, the teachers and the administrators of the school from me,
A compliment, better late than never.
The principal replied with grace the next morning,
Saying my message will reach her students.
While I wonder how the entire school will respond,
I do hope I made their day.
Because considerate students make our day.

From Towel To Flower Pot
Have you ever wondered what to do with the worn out towels at your hostel? We came across a brilliant idea when visiting Natal Eco Hostel in Brazil. There, they have turned old towels into nice flower pots by using concrete.
Here is a video showing how to do it.
Do it yourself:
- Find a towel – if you prefer, cut the towel to a square
- Dip it in a mix of cement and water – make sure that every inch of the towel is covered – on both sides
- Put it on top of an upside down flower pot or bucket to dry
- Paint it with the color(s) of your choice
The photos above are from Natal Eco Hostel.
