ANN POINTER Wills There is a long standing misconception that when you are married everything will pass on death to the surviving spouse. This is not necessarily true and part of your Estate could end up passing to your children which can cause problems for the surviving spouse. For instance the surviving spouse may find themselves deciding whether to buy the children out or add them to the deeds for the property. Wills are very important regardless of your circumstances. You may have millions, you may have nothing but a Will allows you to state who the guardians of your minor children are to be on your death. This can then avoid a Court battle between the grandparents over custody. Furthermore, if you are unmarried and cohabit with another as a couple, did you know that your partner would not have an automatic right to your Estate. In this situation they would have to make a claim against your Estate regardless of how long you have been together. There are so many issues and circumstances a valid Will can cover if worded correctly.

YELVERTON NURSING HOME The Yelverton Nursing and Residential Home held their annual Christmas party on the 14th of December. The residents, their families and friends enjoyed a lovely buffet prepared by the kitchen staff and also enjoyed a selection of wines and soft drinks. We sang a selection of Christmas carols accompanied by the piano played by our activity co- ordinator and held a prize drawer for a show later in the New Year. At the end of November the residents enjoyed a bus trip to Endsleigh Garden Centre for some Christmas shopping and a cream tea. We had 2 separate trips to ensure that all the residents who wished to attend could. This trip was enjoyed by all who attended residents and staff alike. Leading up to Christmas, Horrabridge Primary School visited the home and sang carols for the residents and we also had our first Pantomime – Jack in the Beanstalk which was given by 'Party Time Productions' and was very popular with all those who attended. Social events are an important part of our life at the Home and the residents really enjoy these occasions and are looking forward to our activities for 2012.

A Two-For-One Solution... Alabama Project Plans to Store Carbon Dioxide, Boost Oil Production |
The Department of Energy today announces the selection of a cost-shared project
that will inject carbon dioxide (CO2) into an oil reservoir to maximize domestic
oil production. At the same time, the project will assess the potential for
later storing CO2 in the reservoir once the oil is depleted rather than emitting
it into the atmosphere. Such storage of CO2 is called sequestration, and the idea is gaining more attention as concerns mount over possible global climate change caused by rising emissions of greenhouse gases. Growing interest in CO2 sequestration dovetails with strong growth in the use of CO2 as a means to enhance oil and natural gas recovery. Injecting CO2?the same gas that gives soda pop its fizz?into an oil reservoir thins crude oil left behind, pressurizes it, and helps move it to producing wells. So-called CO2 flooding is the fastest-growing technique for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and now accounts for almost five percent of the Nation's oil production at 237,000 barrels per day. Commercial CO2 EOR flood projects in the United States have been limited largely to the prolific oil reservoirs of the Permian Basin of West Texas and New Mexico. CO2 flooding is a costly operation, and the process generally is uneconomic-even at today's high oil prices-without a readily available, low-cost source of the gas nearby. This explains why roughly half of the world's CO2 floods are in the Permian Basin, not far from some of the biggest natural sources of CO2 in the United States. With the proper incentives, R&D, and CO2 availability to underpin an accelerated program, current technology applied to existing fields has the potential to increase CO2-enhanced oil production to 500 thousand barrels per day by 2012, and by at least 2 million barrels per day by 2020. An EOR project that uses an industrial source of CO2 that otherwise would be vented to the atmosphere would have the added environmental benefit of sequestering the greenhouse gas. The potential for sequestering CO2 in depleted oil and gas reservoirs is enormous. One study conducted for DOE estimated that the global sequestration capacity in depleted oil- and gas fields equates to 125 years of current worldwide CO2 emissions from fossil fuel?fired power plants. Recognizing the dual energy and environmental benefits of CO2 EOR/sequestration, Congress mandated in the Energy Policy Act of 2005 that DOE pursue demonstration projects to promote the capture, transportation, and injection of produced CO2 for sequestration into oil and gas fields while boosting oil and natural gas production. Accordingly, DOE announced a funding opportunity earlier this year to fund new research in conducting EOR projects while increasing sequestration of the greenhouse gas. The project selected under this funding opportunity was proposed by the University of Alabama-Birmingham (UAB), of Birmingham, AL. It calls for implementing a CO2 flood in Citronelle oilfield in Mobile County, Ala. Citronelle field, Alabama's largest producer, is an ideal site for a CO2 flood because of its reservoir's relatively uniform structure. A mature field that has already undergone primary and secondary recovery (waterflooding) efforts, Citronelle is now a candidate for tertiary recovery, or EOR. Typically 20 percent more of the original-oil-in-place in a reservoir can be recovered using CO2 EOR. In Citronelle's case, it is estimated that 64 million barrels of oil could be recovered using this technique. When all remaining economically recoverable oil is produced, the reservoir and adjacent formations can provide sites for storage of CO2 produced from the combustion of fossil fuels in power plants and other processes that generate large amounts of CO2. One of America's largest generators of electricity, Southern Company of Atlanta, Ga., is evaluating the capacity of such reservoirs as possible locations for permanent sequestration of CO2 separated from coal and natural gas combustion products in its power plants. The selected project will introduce CO2 EOR for tertiary recovery from Alabama's uniquely structured oil reservoirs. At the same time, it will provide oilfield operators and CO2 producers with improved estimates of the oil yields from EOR and the capacity of depleted reservoirs to sequester CO2. Another objective of the project is to improve the reliability of computer simulations of the oil yield and sequestration capacity of a given geologic formation and the rate at which CO2 can be introduced into the underground formations. The Citronelle simulations will be integrated with computer visualizations of the migration of oil, water, and CO2, making the data accessible to reservoir engineers, geologists, utility planners, and climate-change modelers. Partners with UAB and Southern Company in the project are Citronelle field owner and operator Denbury Resources Inc., Plano, Texas; University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, Ala; Alabama A&M University, Huntsville, Ala; Geological Survey of Alabama, Tuscaloosa; and the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, N.C. Total project cost is about $6 million, with DOE's share just under $3 million. A successful demonstration of the technology in this project could open the door to commercial CO2 EOR/sequestration efforts across the Nation, offering a potential "two-for-one" solution to America's crucial energy security and environmental concerns. |

On Aug. 6, Sarah Addison went to the University of Colorado Hospital (UCH) for a pregnancy ultrasound test. She and her husband learned that they were going to have a baby boy. Moments after that, they found out that Addison has breast cancer.
"I thought 'Why me?'" said the 25-year-old expecting mother. "I couldn't believe this was happening while I was pregnant."
Addison had little time to ponder what this diagnosis would mean for herself, her husband and their soon-to-arrive son. A scant 24 hours later, she met Virginia Borges, MD, a nationally renowned oncologist specializing in breast cancer at the CU School of Medicine.
"Dr. Borges was insistent that we start treatment immediately, based on my timeline of being pregnant," she said. "I had my first chemo session one week to the day that I first met with her."

Kings Place, London
The Sebald Lecture is given annually on an aspect of literature in translation. Previously known as the St Jerome Lecture, the lecture was renamed in honour of the founder of BCLT, the late W G Sebald (1944–2001) who died ten years ago this year, just as his remarkable voice was beginning to reach a wider public. 'Max' was a German writer who opted to live in the UK and continue writing in German. His novels and essays include The Rings of Saturn, The Emigrants, Austerlitz, and On the Natural History of Destruction and established him as a leading writer of the 20th century. Previous speakers have included Ali Smith, Will Self, Seamus Heaney, Marina Warner, Susan Sontag, Carlos Fuentes, Louis de Bernières, David Constantine and Hans Magnus Enzensberger.
The Sebald Lecture also celebrates the best in contemporary translation, with readings and presentation of the annual Translation Prizes (administered by the Society of Authors). Prizes presented by Sir Peter Stothard, Editor of the Times Literary Supplement.
Sean O'Brien is a poet, critic, broadcaster, anthologist and editor. He grew up in Hull and lives in Newcastle upon Tyne. He is Professor of Creative Writing at Newcastle University, Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature and 2007 recipient of the Northern Rock Foundation Writer's Award. His selected poems, Cousin Coat: Selected Poems 1976-2001 was published in 2002 and his new verse version of Dante's Inferno in 2006. His first six individual poetry collections have all won awards, most recently The Drowned Book, which won both the 2007 Forward and T S Eliot Prizes, the first time a book has won both awards. A book of short stories, The Silence Room, was published in 2008; Afterlife, his first novel, and Night Train, a collaborative work of poetry and drawings with Northumberland artist Birtley Aris, were published in 2009. His new poetry collection, November, was a Poetry Book Society Choice and shortlisted for the 2011 T S Eliot Prize and for the Forward Prize.

I haven't played any of the Resident Evil games from the PS1 in a long while.
FatSnake09 | #392 Subject: Residnet Evil 2.5 Nemisis Posted: 01/12/2007 20:58:14 |
ok this game sounds really good we should pitch the idea to capcom thiers no harm in asking and a unlockable character could by Tyrant or multyplayer co-op Nemisis and Tyrant fighting forces together LOL
JERZDEVIL | #393 Subject: MULTI PLAYER Posted: 01/12/2007 21:16:29 |
I'm thinking in the online version it should be like 32 NEMISIS's battling it out. That motherfucker is just oozeing with badassness. The possibilities are endless and I'm getting tired of playing it in my head, they need to make this shit now!
bluesteelrun... | #394 Subject: battle of evil Posted: 01/13/2007 07:24:14 |
thats a good idea maybe have nemesis rip leon apart and rape and rip jill and ada a new ass. and final battle with tyrant..
just a little violent |
Ethereal_Shi... | #395 Subject: Erm... no offense but... Posted: 01/13/2007 07:39:54 |
That idea is well... ridiculous. Nemesis was only programmed to hunt down S.T.A.R.S. members, not Zombies. Even if for some unknown reason the Nemesis actually had a reason to kill the Zombies, I highly doubt it would even get its own game. Something like that would be a mini-game just like Resident Evil 4's "Separate Ways".
FatSnake09 | #396 Subject: its like Resident Evil Outbreak Posted: 01/13/2007 15:02:13 |
or Dead Aim it has nothing to do with the main story line but its still called Resident Evil i think for mutiplayer it should have some new made up creaturs actually i think you should be able to play with all the zombie, mutant freaks of RE no "human or alive people" just the monsters like Hunters, Lickers battleing it out in a huge arena hunters have jump and speed while tyrant is slow and strong nemisis is more agile then tyrant lickers are harder to hit ahahahah oh the possibilitys
JERZDEVIL | #397 Subject: RIDICULOUS? Posted: 01/13/2007 15:14:06 |
We are talking about games here aren't we? I mean they're GAMES. Created by someones IMAGINATION. Anything is possible in games. That's what attracts people to them. If Britney Spears can have a game, and the King from Burger King can have a game, and all the various thousands of other games that should have never even made it past the first R+D meeting can have games,then I fail to see why you would call this game ridiculous. I mean the man already was in a game and a movie. He already has the credentials, he's one of the most badass villians in any game, give him his own game. I understand he was programmed to kill S.T.A.R.S members in R.E 3. But as you know anything that can be programmed can be reprogrammed. That's why in R.E 2.5 he is programmed to kill anything that moves. Kind of like a test run. Say he was the 8th subject in the NEMESIS project after the others failed to make it through the test run of ridding the city of zombies. Regardless, to call it ridiculous is uncalled for. Call it farfetched, call it hard to swallow, call it a pipedream. But ridiculous is a little harsh.
JERZDEVIL | #398 Subject: WTF Posted: 01/15/2007 19:35:56 |
I posted that blog two days ago, and nobody has posted anything else? Where the fuck is everybody? Nobody has anything to say about the greatest game series of all time? Disagree with me. Agree with me. Call me an asshole. Tell me I'm talking out of my ass and need to go back and brush up on my R.E knowledge cause I haven't played the vintage shit in a while. Say anything!!!!!
JERZDEVIL | #399 Subject: P.S Posted: 01/15/2007 19:37:44 |
The fucking poll hasn't changed in days, it should be over by now!!!
Ethereal_Shi... | #400 Subject: Re: RIDICULOUS? Posted: 01/15/2007 20:59:11 |
Stop acting like a damn drama queen. Why in the blue hell would Umbrella program the Nemesis to destroy the things they created? Maybe you didn't know this but Capcom isn't going to develop something as far fetched as that. Oh and just to let you know "ridiculous" is not a harsh word. If I had said it was "stupid" then it would've been harsh. Anyways, back to the "Resident Evil 2.5" topic.
Another thing "Resident Evil 2.5"? Thats why they made Resident Evil Outbreak. It was everything in between Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3. Oh and thats your opinion about him being bad ass. I only found him to be annoying as hell. And why does Nemesis deserve his own game? That wouldn't contribute to the Resident Evil storyline at all. Imagine this, if the original Resident Evil game had bombed then none of the other Resident Evil games would have been made. The only reason Capcom has continued making Resident Evil games is because it sells so well. Now, if they produced a game like that it wouldn't kill the series but it would shake the faith of so many Resident Evil fans and thats not something they want. Because if that happens they might beginning losing sales. Now, Capcom has a million other fantastic games to rely upon but just imagined if they did something like that for all their games? People would lose all faith in Capcom and then Capcom would eventually cease to exist. |
JERZDEVIL | #401 Subject: Shake the faith? Posted: 01/16/2007 14:09:38 |
If that horrible piece of shit game DEAD AIM didn't shake the faith of fans, I don't see how a game with NEMESIS as a lead carachter would do anything but pique their interests. And yeah me saying he's bad ass is my opinion. I think if you spend any time on this web site you'll find out that 90% of the input posted on here is opinions, so try not to get all worked up about other peoples opinions. If everybody all thought the same, the world would be a pretty boring fucking place to live in. I'm just trying to keep this club going since nobody is posting shit on it. Why are you here? Also I don't think Umbrella was trying to make the city into zombies, if they did, why did they nuke their own creations?
bluesteelrun... | #402 Subject: take 5 guys Posted: 01/16/2007 16:44:45 |
why doesnt someone put some input into resident evil 5. post some pics or info on that.
Ethereal_Shi... | #403 Subject: Re: Shake the faith? Posted: 01/16/2007 17:17:50 |
Hm...lets see...why didn't Resident Evil: Dead Aim shake the faith of Resident Evil fans? Probably because some fans actually enjoyed the game. Others didn't. Who's interest is a game that lame going to pique? Yours? Well guess what? There's more Resident Evil fans than just you or the guys in this club. Hell, i'm sure there's millions of Resident Evil fans out there. A game like that just wouldn't benefit the series in any way. Capcom wouldn't make it. And another thing, Umbrella did not nuke Raccoon City. The U.S. Government did. Did you bother to actually play the games and pay attention to the storyline?
bluesteelrun... | #404 Subject: whats up????? Posted: 01/17/2007 15:19:15 |
whats is it with you guys its just an idea this site is about opinions and ideas not arguing.everybody has there right to voice there ideas.
let it go. |
JERZDEVIL | #405 Subject: SOMETHING ELSE Posted: 01/17/2007 16:06:17 |
Fine. You win. I'm an asshole. I may have gotten the story line a little mixed up because I think you were just starting grade school when I played it last. Regardless why would Umbrella intentionally turn everybody into zombies? None the less I'm getting tired of defending a blog I made to try to get people talking on this club site. Although it's working with you. Why don't you come up with something and I'll comment on it and I promise to KEEP AN OPEN MIND.
Ethereal_Shi... | #406 Subject: ... Posted: 01/17/2007 16:56:28 |
I never said you were an asshole and I wasn't attacking anything you said. Have you guys ever heard of a debate? Thats what I thought we were having. This website is boring as hell because everyones always friendly and hardly ever arguing. So I come in and spice it up by debating, not arguing. Trust me if it was just arguing then you'd probably be seeing the f-bomb all over the place, lol. Anyways, on to the game thing.
Umbrella developed the G-Virus and the T-Virus. And like all biological weapons, it needed to be tested. So what better place to test it than some remote city in the mountains? However, Umbrella did not count on Jill, Barry, Chris, and the others to survive. Thats why they released Tyrants because they were worried the news would spread of what they did. And of course it did. Which is explained in Resident Evil 4 when Leon tells us that Umbrella was shut down after the government nuked Raccoon City to contain the virus. |
FatSnake09 | #407 Subject: LMAO Posted: 01/17/2007 19:21:01 |
wow u guys love to argue! but who cares im here to talk about Resident Evil ok forget that RE2.5 i think it would be great if they remade RE2 for next gen system but the big question is would u like it like RE4 or should they just have a complete remake with only good graphics no behind the shoulder view i personally think it shouldnt have 3 person view its should stay original but have extras like alot more costumes and dont change the map layot to much and more unlockabe guns
Ethereal_Shi... | #408 Subject: Lol. Posted: 01/17/2007 20:13:34 |
Again, I don't like to argue, I like to debate, lol. Anyways, I want all the Resident Evil games re-made into how Resident Evil 4 plays. I still want it to retain that horror "shit your pants" feel to it but without the akward aiming and controls. I don't want Merchants or anything like that in it. Just keep the game the way it was but change it to how Resident Evil 4 played. And here's what they can do...remake all of the Resident Evil games (except for Resident Evil 4) but keep everything the same.
Storyline, characters, places, etc. But change it to use the aiming system of Resident Evil 4, the camera, and the graphics. Perhaps even add in some new bonus features? Then put all of them (including Resident Evil 4) into one huge bundle package for about $300.00 and include some bonus stuff. Sound good, no? Okay...maybe not. I'm just saying it would be really cool to play Resident Evil 2 again but in the Resident Evil 4 style. |
FatSnake09 | #409 Subject: RE4 Posted: 01/18/2007 11:40:19 |
the only problem i see with the shoulder view for RE2 would be that the zombies are slow makeing the game easier if you had key hit aiming it works for RE4 cuz the Ganados can run and flank so you have to shot fast and accurate but in RE2 the zombies are slow and stupid so i dont know if that will work mabee if they add a crazy amount of zombies in one area i think the shoulder thing would work but we wont really know untill if they ever decide to remake it
Ethereal_Shi... | #410 Subject: ... Posted: 01/18/2007 12:29:16 |
Well if Zombies were so stupid and slow then why did I die so many times? Or why did others die hundreds of times trying to unlock stuff or just trying to do speed runs? They might be slow but they're not stupid. Because if they were stupid I would've breezed right through every game without trouble. Even though you can aim you've got to remember, you're not getting all that ammunition, herbs, or weapons that Resident Evil 4 had.
You just aim differently, the camera is different, and your surroundings will look better. So you're still going to have to face Mr. X, "G", and all those other tough ass creatures who can kill you in one hit. I'd love to see Mr. X and Nemesis in the Resident Evil 4 style. They would look scarier, sound scarier, etc. Wow...if there's one thing Capcom should do its remake all the previous Resident Evil games using the Resident Evil 4 style. |
infablu | #411 Subject: I Think... Posted: 01/18/2007 21:25:45 |
RE2 Should just be remade for tha PS2&3 but keep everything tha same way as it came out but a bit faster & smarter Zombies & better graphics & sound.But RE4 iz way better than tha last RE games that came out...but everyone gotz their own opinions on the games!.
Gaming_Mogur... | #412 Subject: Uh... Posted: 01/18/2007 22:15:30 |
Just to let you know they already remade Resident Evil 2 but for the GameCube and PC, kupo. If they kept it in the same style as it was then, then there wouldn't be any reason to update it. It would be the same thing again but for the PlayStation 2/PlayStation 3. There just wouldn't be any point to it unless they made a drastic change to it like making it like Resident Evil 4, kupo.
FatSnake09 | #413 Subject: remakes!? Posted: 01/19/2007 09:36:55 |
the gamecube version were not remakes cuz they stayed exaclty the same the RE1 remake on gamecube that was a remake the others were just ported over with absolutly no changes i think i never bought them cuz thats what i heard and for RE2,3 and code veronica they graphics stayed the same id like to see RE4 style graphics you know udates for the older gamee but if i had to chose one remake id wish for RE2
Gaming_Mogur... | #414 Subject: ... Posted: 01/19/2007 11:02:49 |
Sorry about that, kupo. I mean to say ports not remakes. Anyways, it would just be porting Resident Evil 2 to the PS2/PS3 which would be a waste of time and possibly even money. Now if they were to make it in the Resident Evil 4 style and release it for the PS2/PS3 then I think it might be a big hit, kupo! But then again...thats just my opinion.
JERZDEVIL | #415 Subject: GAVE ME AN IDEA Posted: 01/19/2007 21:08:16 |
I've got it. That's what R.E 2.5 was missing ETHEREAL. Picture this. NEMESIS with the R.E 4 over the shoulder cam. Huh. not so ridiculous now is it? LOL. I don't remember if it was any good, i'm guessing no because I never heard any buzz about it, and I don't own a Gamecube. But if it was even worth playing I would like R.E ZERO to be ported to the PS3. Oh, and I better not see "Story Design by Ethereal" if a R.E 2.5 comes out or i'm suing the balls off of you. I have Fat Snake as a witness. Right Fats?
JERZDEVIL | #416 Subject: OH. AND. Posted: 01/19/2007 21:10:30 |
I think all my NEMESIS hype helped himblow that piece of shit HUNK out fo the water in the poll. See the results?
Gaming_Mogur... | #417 Subject: ... Posted: 01/19/2007 21:31:55 |
Nemesis is nothing compared to HUNK, kupo! If HUNK can survive several Mr. X's, various Zombies, Ivy's, spiders, etc. then he can survive one lousy Nemesis. Not only that but he's trained in fighting B.O.W.s like Nemesis. Oh and he survived the "G" attack. The only reason he won that poll is because HUNK has won twice and i'm sure that they gave Nemesis nothing more than a sympathy vote, kupo.
(P.S: I'm Ethereal_Shinobi) |

ya u get the rights to RE3 2.5 lol. what does "kupo" mean? and where were u shinobi i created the game at 3 i think we need to find out 100% sure what the time diffrence is!

A Game Ad worth watching Sunday!
Babies are always big at the Super Bowl. This year, Budweiser might have the cutest one.
A new baby Clydesdale, born Jan. 16, will star in the Anheuser-Busch brand's traditional 60-second Clydesdales spot on this Sunday's game. To build anticipation, Bud last night sent out its first-ever tweet, asking fans to name the foal using the hashtag #Clydesdales.
"This newest member of the Budweiser Clydesdale family was seven days old on the day this part of the Super Bowl commercial was filmed," said Jeff Knapper, general manager of Clydesdale operations. "A star was truly born on Jan. 16."
In addition to the 150-pound baby, two other young Clydesdales will appear in the spot—an 8-month-old and a 2-year-old—along with a full hitch of eight adult horses.
The ad, titled "Brotherhood," created by Anomaly in New York, was partially shot at the 300-acre Warm Springs Ranch in Boonville, Mo., the breeding facility for Budweiser's Clydesdales.
More than 30 Clydesdales are expected to be born there this year. This commercial will "take the Clydesdales advertising into new territory by providing a new level of access to their early years," the brewer said.
Bud waited to join Twitter until it introduced age verification last summer, allowing the beer to restrict its tweets to people 21 and older.
Along with the Clydesdales :60, Anomaly also produced two 30-second ads for Budweiser Black Crown, a new beer.

Parental Guidance Recommended for Younger viewers.
Coarse language
Director: | Roman Polanski |
Actors: | Harrison Ford, John Mahoney, Emmanuelle Seigner, Betty Buckley |
Harrison Ford and filmmaker Roman Polanski count thrillers among their best work. Frantic teams, USA Today's Mike Clark wrote, "an imaginatively cast superstar and the greatest living suspense director in fine form." Ford plays an American doctor whose wife (Betty Buckley) suddenly vanishes in Paris. To find her, he navigates a puzzling web of language, locale, laissez-faire cops, triplicate-form bureaucrats and a defiant, mysterious waif (Emmanuelle Seigner) who knows more than she tells. "It is the spirit of Hitchcock that reigns here" (Michael Wilmington, Los Angeles Times). And the consummate skill of Polanski and Ford that's on dazzling display.

In the Olympic Park area there is the stadium and other buildings and structures worthy of a visit if you have some spare time. The surrounding parklands are peaceful and the Palau National de Montjuic is close by.
In the Olympic Park area there is the stadium and other buildings and structures worthy of a visit if you have some spare time. The surrounding parklands are peaceful and the Palau National de Montjuic is close by.
Take the funicular railway from Paral lel. Turn right out of the station and go up the hill. 10 minutes later you are find yourself at the 1992 Olympic Stadium. The gates are open to go and look around. There is a cafeteria and a gift shop if you want to stay a bit longer.
I've never been before on stadium so i enjoyed the view. There is also souvenir shop there and a bar so you can eat sth there.
It is a long walk from the metro station but when you get there it is worth it. There are escalators up so you don't even have to walk up all the stairs. Best of all its free to go to (London should take note). The park is beautiful especially in the sun.
We went here as we both thought it was a must. We walked up and the sights are breath taking along the way, however it is all up hill! There are buses that can take you though. I was surprised to see the entry was free. The stadium was amazing although I felt sad to see that general maintenance in... More
Very cool to walk around in and no fee! There are tours available, and the surrounding area is really neat as well. Take the bus up, or walk. You can also buy souvenirs.
We spent a week in Barcelona so we had a bit of time and decided to visit the Olympic Stadium. It's free to walk into the Stadium.
Wanted to pop in after we hopped off the bus. It's free to walk in and you get a great view of the stadium, although you are not able to walk around it. We sat and enjoyed a beer and we watched an event being set up on the field. Walked through the park, by the museum and down into... More
Perched on top of Mont Juic, the Olympic Stadium has a fantastic view across the city. You can get into the main stadium for free. It looks a bit dated but it's still pretty impressive. The outside is fabulous, especially the main entrance with it's imposing statues. There are guided tours, however we were too late to participate. The Olympic... More

Helpful Hints from joeeze: My favorite label/sticker residue remover
If you're anything like me, too bad for you (kidding).
Take two: If you're anything like me, you're irritated beyond measure by the stubborn residue left behind by adhesive labels or stickers on almost everything you buy.
Sometimes there are two, three, or more, each more applied using a more tenacious, non-water-soluble adhesive than the last.
I've tried and discarded innumerable all-purpose removers over the decades including that old standby, nail polish remover, and yesterday decided to have a throwdown between my two old dependables: Goo Gone and Oops!.
The winner — quickly removing paper and glue from a red plastic-covered lead-core bat weight without any dye coming off the weight — was Oops!
Besides working much better, Oops! employs a superior dispenser with a pinhole opening as opposed to GooGone's open bottle whose contents are difficult to keep on your paper towel.
Suggestion: When you use either of these substances, try to do so outdoors — the active ingredients are so strong you can practically feel your brain dissolving with every breath you take.

Goo Gone liquid is what I sell at Home Depot for sticky label removal. It is superior for this. Oops is quite a bit stronger and does the job too but be careful it can remove more than the sticky. Opps is fantastic for removing dried latex paint from hardwood floors. Will not harm the floor finish. Denatured alchohol
worksvery well for this too. Goo Gone will not work on dried latex paint. friskypainter, Home Depot paint associate for 8 years now Deerfield, Il Store 1926.

Non-acetone nail polish remover has its place too (such as removing tree sap from cars without wrecking the paint) and is very inexpensive.

I been using Goo Gone (Citrus of course;-) for labels, gummy stuff and etc.
I'm quite pleased with it but BOJs OOPS looks great.

I'm going to have to try this to see if it makes it easier to remove all the gum and graffiti the little darlings leave all over my theaters. If it works more easily than what we use now, my staff says thank you in advance!

Fotomuseum [Photographic Museum]
The "125 jaar fotografie" [125 years of photography] exihibition in 1965, a collaborative effort by Agfa Gevaert and Provinciaal Museum voor Kunstambachten [Provincial museum of the decorative arts] in Deurne was the first attempt to build up a permanent photographic collection in the Province of Antwerp.
During the 1970s, management and construction of this department were entrusted to scientific staff and it very quickly outgrew the space available in the Sterckshof.
This resulted in the creation of a separate museum, which found a home on Waalse Kaai in 1986. The Fotomuseum gained its own management, staff and budget. In 1994, the building was extended through the addition of further exhibition space and an auditorium.
In following years, the museum gained a completely new wing and the institution underwent a complete renovation. The renovated Fotomuseum opened its doors in 2004.
In addition to traditional museum activities, the Fotomuseum also organises events such as portfolio viewing days and expert appraisal days to keep in touch with what is currently going on in the world of photography.
Would you like to know more about the Fotomuseum? If so, take a look at this website.

Israel's attorney general has announced plans to prosecute an investigative reporter who received a trove of classified documents from a whistleblower inside the military, the AP reported yesterday.
Reporter Uri Blau, who works for the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, received more than 2,000 military documents from the former military conscript clerk Anat Kamm. Kamm copied the material from military computers between 2005 and 2007, the AP says.
Kamm, who previously also worked as a journalist, was prosecuted last year. She was sentenced in October to four and a half years in prison for collecting and distributing secret information. The online magazine +972, which writes about issues affecting Israel and Palestine, has constructed a detailed timeline of events around her prosecution and the case involving Blau.
The documents received by Blau suggested that military authorities had authorised the killing of Palestinian militants when they could have been arrested, in defiance of an Israeli High Court ruling.
Before Blau published stories relating to these issues, his articles were submitted to the military censor (standard practice in Israel for security-related material) and they were approved.

Royal Reading
Posted by Gwen on August 17, 1998 at 11:45:41:
In response to Royal reading, written by Lisa M on August 17, 1998 at 10:37:33]
] Two titles come to mind: "Fall of the House of Windsor" by NIgel Blundell and Susan Blackhall and "The Decline and Fall of the House of Windsor" by Donald Spoto. The titles sound rather extreme but by their very nature, the Royal Family can be rather "sentsational". There are some others but I question some of the "facts" (Kitty Kelley's "The Royals" comes to mind). IF you are interested in individuals, I can give you other titles.
] Thanks for your suggestions. I am also interested in reading about individuals, particularly Queen Victoria. I am also curious about novels which have used the royal family as a focal point for their stories. I have heard about Josephine Tey's "Daughter of Time" and plan on purchasing it soon.

A.A. Bondy
A.A. Bondy
A.A. Bondy is actually the birth name (the initials stand for Augeste Arthur) of Scott Bondy, the former lead singer of Birmingham, Alabama's Southern grunge darlings Verbena, frequently compared to Nirvana because of their gritty, aggressive sound and Bondy's searing vocals. The band, which also initially included drummer Les Nuby and bassist Daniel Johnston, was formed when all three were in high school in the early '90s. Later, singer and guitarist Anne Marie Griffin joined the trio, then called Shallow. Nuby eventually left the group and was replaced by original Remy Zero drummer Louis Schefano, and after a name change to Verbena, the band released the EP Pilot Park on Merge. Nuby rejoined the band a year later in time for Verbena's debut full-length, Souls for Sale, which caught the ears of Dave Grohl, who agreed to produce the band's major-label debut, Into the Pink. Johnston left the band, making Verbena a trio once again, and it was as a trio that Verbena recorded their third album, 2003's La Musica Negra, before calling it quits. Bondy retreated to his Catskills home in Palenville in upstate New York, and in time, began writing songs again, emerging with a stripped-down indie folk sound. He recorded and mixed his debut solo album, American Hearts, at a barn near his home, releasing the project in 2007 on the Superphonic imprint. The album was picked up by Fat Possum and re-released early in 2008. A second Fat Possum album, When the Devil's Loose, appeared in 2009, with a third, Believers, following two years later in 2011. ~ Steve Leggett, Rovi

And then when Karen files her racial claim get ready for a repeat.... so much for spending extra money to try and get quality employees - pay them less than $50,000 a year and make sure the contract is at will and only good for one year... you will still get plenty of people applying and they can't be any worse
Ron there are only two contracts, to my knowledge, in Oxnard. The city manager and city attorney. All others are at will.
Mr. Sotelo kept his job by following the will of three members of the council. Holden, Herrerra and Maullhardt. Ed turned their desires into actions.
As for Mr. Sotelos's complaint concerning ex Mayor Holden? It certainly sounds like the guy I have watched for 20 years and is the same guy admitting he lied to the DA and FBI investigators.
And Karen? She learned a lot from Ed. Remember on the first day of the search warrants being served of the DA's investigation it was the three homes of Herrerra, Sotelo and Burnham's that were searched
Search warrants can be read in room 214 at the courthouse.

Beauty: Victoria's Secret Lotions
So again, this is the 2nd Edition of the Victoria's Secret stuff that I got.
I had 3 different Victoria's Secret lotion and an eyebrow pencil.
The first one is the Victoria's Secret Luminous Touch Radiance Collection Edition. I guess it's pretty obvious that it is a shimmery lotion, perfect for those special occasions. Parang pang awards night lang where you'll be on the spot light and you have a very shimmery, luminous, radiant skin :P
The other two is the Victoria's Secret Mine and Kiss Edition. I've been using the Mine one. Although I don't use it that much because the lotion is quite thick since it is also scented. :P The scent is super sweet I love it, but since the texture is quite thick I try not to use it too much, I don't want to run out. hahaha! The Kiss Edition has a sweet scent to it as well, but I don't plan on using it until the other one runs out :P
And I did get a Victoria's Secret eyebrow pencil with sharpener. I tried it once but it's quite hard to apply. Maybe the fact that it is water proof makes it a lot harder to put on. I'll try it next time and see the results.
So.... that's it for now. Wait for the last post I have for the Victoria's Secret batch. You'll see the very colorful bra I have. hahaha! Shall I wear it for you? :P hahahaha!

Cans of beer from a famous Colorado microbrewery have started showing up on Texas shelves.
Texans can now buy Dale's Pale Ale, Old Chub Scottish Style Ale and Gordon canned beers in various liquor stores.
"It's time we mess with Texas," Oskar Blues founder Dale Katechis recently told the Denver Business Journal. "It's time to show the state's beer lovers that cans are a beer's best friend, and 'gourmet canned beer' is not an oxymoron."
If you are intrigued by a craft beer in a can, act now. There's not much of it. Oskar Blues, which started brewing beer in 2002, produced only 12,409 barrels of beer last year. That's only enough to supply the city of Lumberton — where you can't even buy beer.
Lone Star, Shiner and Pearl had no comment.

Superstorm Pounds UK: Leads To Deaths, Black Outs, Traffic Suspensions And Flight Cancelations
Almost exactly one year after Superstorm Sandy crushed the eastern seaboard of the USA, and 26 years after the last devastating storm to hit the south of England, the so-called St.Jude's Day storm - among the worst in recent memory - is battering the UK (and some of Europe) with winds up to 99 mph. So far there are 2 reported deaths, 220,000 homes without power, all SouthWest trains halted, and over 130 flights cancelled at Heathrow airport. Two nuclear plants have been shutdown and hundreds of trees have fallen blocking roads and rail links across as the storm begins to shift into mainland Europe...

A teenage girl was killed when a tree fell onto her home while she slept during a fierce storm that battered southern Britain, police said on Monday.Police said they were called to the scene at 0718 GMT in Hever in Kent following a report the 17-year old was severely injured."Sadly the 17-year old died," police said in a statement. "The incident is not being treated as suspicious."Britain's strongest storm in a decade battered southern regions on Monday, forcing hundreds of flight cancellations, cutting power lines and disrupting the travel plans of millions of commuters.

Any relation to the 1ft high tsunami that ravaged the ZH comments section this last weekend? Seriously, you get storms like this regularly in the Midwest, several times a year. 2 deaths in a cuntry (sic) with the population the UK has? Probably thousands died there that day from various chronic diseases and old age, etc. 2?
meh, screw em.

Nice catch of the UFO siphoning oil beneath a rainbow.
Worst in memory? Hyperbole. Just a November storm.
They had a full scale hurricane in 1987 which coincided with the market crash.
I know, I was there.No wonder humans don't learn from history.We are generally nacissistic
assholes as a species.
Yeah but that's an improvement from us being sadistic assholes.
Or sarcastic ones.
The cause of the 1987 crash is thought to be insurance companies getting cash to pay claims from an over the weekend storm by liquidating assets into an overbought market made fragile by computer driven trading. Thank God we don't have to worry about that nowdays.
I've read all the comments on here - and yours is the only one 'worth' anything.
Clearly the yanks still have that chip on their shoulder about "ours is ALWAYS bigger than yours" - the last desperate cries of a collapsing civilisation.
It's not the size - it's what you do with it.
Interstingly the cost of cleaning up this minor storm is TWICE the cost of cleaning up the 1987 storm - so we're either into 'inflation reality' or the desperate businesses (mainly tree surgeons) are trying to squeeze every last penny out of the collapsing state.
Of course another happy coincidence with 1987 is the ridiculous housing bubble whcih dimwit Osborne has created. As with all deperate Government gambles it's not done what it was 'expected' to. A bubble in London which is at laughable levels - and a complete collapse in the rest of the country.
The real storm lies in these houses - you only need to watch our version of 'amatuer home flippers' to see the classic "we're retrired, but we're taking money from our pension - because of the lack of return" - putting your money into an illiquid assest AFTER you retire is the stuff of legendary hyperinflationary actions.
Good luck with that your brainless morons - this is going to be fun. I'm glad I took early retirement (at 39) thanks to the BoE paying my mortgage for me - so I can sit back and watch the calamity unfold.
Are they crying like the Jersy fucks after superstorm Sandy?
Aren't you special, that you didn't have to live through "superstorm" sandy. I hope that you and your immediate family never have to cry like fucks in similar circumstance.
ahhh I lived through real hurricanes...and know pussification when I see it...Jersy is soft, hence Jersy shore TV show... Florida 2004 We'd rocked that Shit... 4 canes in 6 weeks...STFU
My mistake, your right, Sandy was no big deal, and a bunch of idiots, filming a bunch of idiots...from NY visiting the jersey shore in the summer completely defines us...
And we wonder why America is doomed...
RINOs like Christie? Do tell.
" My mistake, your right "
What you wrote makes no damn sense ...
Most people in the UK are wondering what the fuss has all been about - it has been like a normal Autumn gale. The difference is that this time it has affected London and the Home Counties so all the poncie media types are getting excited by nothing.
Yes, two people have been killed by falling trees - which is tragic - but the BBC and Sky News have for days been warning us of a coming hurricane but, for most Welsh, Scots, Irish and Northern English, it was just a pretty average and normal October gale.
The rich in London, Berkshire, Essex, Surrey Hampshire and Sussex seem to have got their knickers in a twist though.
Just wait until Liverpool crushes Arsenal this weekend. Then you'll hear some true wailing and moaning.
"Oi mate, grab yer wellies an we'll go to the pub."
British Weather Crisis Management.
".....Berkshire, Essex, Surrey Hampshire and Sussex....."
ah, I always wondered what the 'home counties' referred to. now i know.
Traffic around West London is lighter than usual, a tree or two, some fences knocked down in every neighbourhood, but otherwise another normal, dreary, damp Autumn day.
Debated whether I should take a photo of a giant oak that fell into the car park of a nearby pub that looks quite dramatic to post online, but what's the point of adding to the hysteria to provoke faux-sincerity from bored housewives around the world and their, "Hopes and prayers" ? I'd rather vomit in my own mouth, and obviously others will have already done it to create a little excitement in their mundane lives. It's just a spot of bad weather. Deal with it, move on.
Never let a crisis go to waste! Forward! Post those pictures! 1800 Fuck Yo!
Hell, at this point go ahead and post some stock photos from random disasters.
I was expecting dreadful winds last night, the Severn bridges were closed, trains shut down, warnings everywhere, but the wind wasn't that bad and certainly no worse than several windy nights in the past.
A lot of leaves fell though
What a bunch of arse.
It's been a bit windy and London is complaining about it, they get the media time because that's where the money is. I'm surprised Zerohedge has even bothered with this. Superstorm it most certainly isn't.

Superstorm????? meh,
It's a calm sunny day in Dublin, i'm about to stroll down to the pub for a few pints, i doubt ill encounter any flying oak trees,
media hype,
US Nov PMI will be a 6 sigma beat!
Massive media hype. The BBC has a hardon for weather reporting, it's about all they are good for these days. A few incidents but not even close to Superstorm Sandy.

What can Broadway learn from the NBA lockout?
If you're a basketball fan, you've been foaming at the mouth and ornery to everyone you know for the past couple o' months, as you've suffered through B-Ball withdrawal thanks to the lockout.
Fear not, however, slam dunks and double-dribbles will return on Christmas day as a present to you all, now that a new 10 year agreement has been reached.
First class labor disputes in sports always catch my eye, because of the major similarity between the two sides of their negotiating table and the two sides of Broadway's table:
- Most of the owners of professional sports teams made money in other industries before getting involved with athletics. (Sound like a lot of Producers you know?)
- The players are the best in the world at what they do and can't be replaced by others without weakening the product (Sound like a lot of actors/designers/directors/technicians you know?)
The specific causes of this year's lock out stems from the claim of the owners that they were losing $300 million a year. What's interesting to me is that if you dig deeper and you find out that those losses come from 22 out of the 30 teams. In other words, 74% of the teams were losing money, while 26% were making money.
Hmmmm . . . It is estimated that 20-30% of Broadway shows make money, and 70-80% lose money.
Coincidence? Pareto's Principle?
The owners sought to reduce salaries and salary caps, and after a ton of back and forth and the loss off two months of games, hundreds of jobs and millions of dollars, a settlement was reached . . . but not until the players dissolved their own union so they could be rep'd by individual lawyers and sue the League for an "illegal boycott."
What a mess.
And that's where I hope the similarities between our industries end. Because no matter who won this dispute or any dispute . . . I can guarantee you who lost . . . The Fans. And sure, the rabid mouth-foamers aren't going to switch from B-Ball to baseball because a couple of months go by before they get to watch a game. But those aren't the fans I'd be worried about. It's the casual fan that they could lose.
And it's the casual fan we could lose if we ever find ourselves in a situation like the above.
And that's why all sides of our industry need to remember that there are no sides when it comes to our industry's survival.

Amyleigh1982 says:
Reminds me of when the large chain supermarkets went on strike a few years back, propelling places like Trader Joe's, Whole Foods and other smaller chains into superstardom. And many shoppers never went back to the larger stores. A gamble gets played the longer a strike wears on and you can only hope that the people will be waiting with open arms at the end.
Randy says:
As long as both sides remain professional about their disagreements and don't resort to embarrassing, petty rhetoric, a somewhat tense stand-off can be weathered without either side being villified. It's a tempting route to take since each side surely believes it is the other party that is being unreasonable, but making a real effort to see things from the other side's perspective is essential to finding the compromises all can live with. No one should walk away from a negotiation feeling they got everything they wanted and gave up nothing.
And, though not everyone can be mentioned in every example, I would like to throw in Broadway musicians as more professionals who are the best in the world at what they do. -
firstname.lastname@example.com says:
If we can all remember that we are in the theater together that will be a big step forward. I must also add that producer's must challenge themselves to be more open, honest and candid in showing the books…you can't make claims if you are not willing to open the books and let them be examined…and the actors/designers and technicians must remember how fragile the economy is and have a realisitci view of what they are asking for. For example, with the constant rising price of health care and produer's obligations there, it is not always ferasible to think you can have a raise—your raise is going into the the helath care plan, etc.
But let us all agree to work together to keep ou patrons happy and keep the theaters open! -

McInnis went on to say, "Varyingcelebrities have had their estates liquidated in the last couple ofyears, they had projections of something bringing in $100,000 and itbrought a million because priceless is very hard to put a price on, so that iswhat we are dealing with here."

WFMY April 18, 2012 Patrick Phillipi
REIDSVILLE,NC (CNN/WGHP) -- From furniture to Ferraris, everything at the Chinqua-PennPlantation in North Carolina is going up on the auction block. More than threehundred interested bidders toured the historical home on Sunday, the first dayof the 3-day public preview event.
