Families enjoy a juicy experience in the gardens.
A TASTE of the country was on offer as crowds of visitors tasted the juiciest crop of autumn.
Families sampled almostforgotten varieties of fruit during Castle Bromwich Hall Castle Bromwich Hall (grid reference SP142898) is a Jacobean Mansion in the village of Castle Bromwich, which is situated in the northern part of the Metropolitan Borough of Solihull in West Midlands, England. It is a Grade I listed building. Gardens' apple day.
Youngsters enjoyed a host of apple-themed activities and competitions while others took pleasure in the Brummie Gems dancers.
The ten-acre, Grade II listed walled gardens contain more than 600 species of plants.
Cash raised at the event went to Castle Bromwich Hall and Gardens Trust, a registered charity restoring the Baroque gardens to their former glory.
A rare example of formal English design, the gardens were developed by several generations of the Bridgeman Family, who later became the Earls of Bradford.
They fell into decline during the second half of the last century and were taken on by the trust in 1985.
The gardens also feature a holly maze, which is a distorted mirror image of the maze at Hampton Court Palace Hampton Court redirects here. For other meanings, see Hampton Court (disambiguation)
Hampton Court Palace is a former royal palace in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, south west London, England, United Kingdom.[1] The palace is located 11. .

- William Butler (physician) (1535–1618) was an English physician and writer.
- William Butler (Colonel) (died 1789) a Pennsylvania Militia officer during the American Revolution.

"These labels came quickly and packaging was protected great. They were very easy to order , instructions were clear! Nice quality labels and was perfect for a New Home Gift!"
"We love these address labels! We put them on all our wedding invitations, thank you cards, and will be using them into the first months and year(s) of our new life together. Thanks so much!"
"I just moved to Florida so I thought this would be perfect for sending mail home.. and it is! It's a way for me to share Florida with everyone back at home."
"These traditional return address labels are very elegant and have a touch of an era gone by. At first I thought the dark outer border would be too much and make the label look heavy, but half of the label stays with the paper, so the size is less thick. I really love these labels and will get some more for the Holidays"
"I ordered 1 sleeve of this and 1 sleeve of another design and love them both! They are chic, fun and look great in person. Very girlie...with a little edge. I searched for the "perfect" address labels for a while - and found them at Tiny Prints. My order was printed fast and delivered even faster (about 6 days ahead of when I expected to receive them)!"

2009 Antinori Tignanello
Back to Products
Select Quantities
1.5L Bottle
1.5L Bottle
Item #49505
Size: 1.5L
Type: Red Wine
Country: Italy
Region: Tuscany
"Bright red-ruby. Ripe aromas of sweet red cherries macerated in alcohol, cedar, cinnamon and pepper. Suave and seamless, with soft, almost-overripe flavors of redcurrant jam, red plum syrup, stewed red plum and tobacco leaf. A very distinctive and much creamier than usual Tignanello, finishing with supple tannins and excellent length. Obviously the product of a warmer year, and though this outstanding Tignanello is a touch less refined than some recent standout vintages, it's hard to argue with its sweet, soft style and early drinking appeal. No need to cellar this too long."
Reviewed by: International Wine Cellar - 92pts
Prices, promotions and availability may vary by store and online.
2008 Marchesi Torrigiani Guidaccio
"The 2008 Guidaccio is Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The bouquet is classic Sangiovese, while the French varieties add mid-palate presence and depth as this gorgeous red opens up in the glass. Firm yet well-integrated tannins support layers of menthol, leather, licorice and spices on the inviting finish. In its best vintages Guidaccio can challenge wines that cost twice as much, and also has the pedigree to develop beautifully in bottle. The blend is 50% Sangiovese, followed by 25-30% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Merlot."
$26.99 / 750ml Bottle
$161.94 / Case of 6
$161.94 / Case of 6
2010 Antinori Tignanello
"Humming with energy and life from the very moment you put your nose in the glass, Marchesi Antinori's 2010 Tignanello shows magnificent aromatic layering and an enormous capacity to peel back and reveal itself in beautiful slow motion. This is an articulate wine with a long story to tell about the quality of its profound 2010 fruit. A brief note on the structure: The mouthfeel here is not broad and big. Instead, it shows a sharp and elegantly streamlined feel with impressive persistency. Compared to 2009, the Sangiovese component is slightly higher with 80% of the noble Tuscan variety followed by 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc."
$210.00 / 1.5L Bottle
2008 Antinori Guado al Tasso
"The 2008 Guado al Tasso is once again fabulous. In fact, it may be Tuscany's most improved wine over the last few years. Firm, vibrant tannins support expressive layers of dark fruit, plums, cherries, sage, espresso and mocha. The wine shows fabulous detail and nuance in a translucent, totally seductive style, with tons of focus, drive and verve. It is a striking wine that will be a joy to follow over the coming years."

Here we go again. The Seattle Seahawks have to deal with a four-game suspension dealt to their defensive end Bruce Irvin which was handed down by the NFL after having violated the league's performance-enhancing policy. As a top-rookie last year, he had eight sacks. He will be missed but at least it is only four-games and hopefully he is smart enough not to repeat this mishap in which the penalties only get tougher and harder.

Barbara Frittoli as Donna Elvira was fabulous. Ildar Abdrazakov looks better on stage and is more believable in person than the glamour shots to advertise the performance suggest. Cast overall was excellent. The production really told the story well. Performances should only improve as the run continues. Go.

Originally written on Awful Announcing | Last updated 11/16/14
In Mike Piazza's new autobiography Long Shot, the former Dodgers catcher has done the unthinkable: he's taken legendary Dodgers broadcaster Vin Scully to task. Piazza blames Scully for turning fans against him heading into the 1998 season, his final contracted year with the Dodgers before hitting free agency. Piazza wanted a seven year, $105 million contract from Los Angeles, while the team countered with six years and $76 million, which would have made him the highest paid player in baseball. Fans weren't pleased with Piazza declining the offer, and he believes they took a cue from Scully. "The way the whole contract drama looked to them -- many of whom were taking their cue from Scully -- was that, by setting a deadline and insisting on so much money, I was demonstrating a conspicuous lack of loyalty to the ball club," Piazza wrote. "I understood that." Those are some pretty strong words, but as you'd expect, Scully denied it all when the LA Times got in touch with him on Wednesday. "That's not true at all," Scully told The Times in a telephone interview Wednesday. Scully said he could not recall the interview in which Piazza said the contract deadline was discussed. However, Scully said, he never would criticize a player about contractual negotiations. "As God is my judge, I don't get involved in these things," Scully said. "I can't imagine I would ever put my toe in the water as far as a player and his negotiations. "I have no idea where he is coming from. I really have no idea. I can't imagine saying something about a player and his contract. I just don't do that, ever. I'm really flabbergasted by that reference." Who really knows if Piazza is telling the truth, or embellishing things to create a buzz around his book. But if Piazza is trying to ingratiate himself to the Dodger faithful, going after Scully is a really poor way to go about that. For as great as Piazza's career in Los Angeles was, he hasn't really been embraced by the franchise as an all-time great, likely due to his acrimonious departure. His #31 was reissued in 2005 to Brad Penny, and has been worn by James McDonald, Jay Gibbons, Tim Federowicz, and Brandon League since. For a guy that won a Rookie of the Year award and finished in the top ten in MVP voting during each one of his seasons with the Dodgers, that's a major snub. But at the same time, the Dodgers haven't retired a number since Tommy Lasorda's #2, and the team really lacked an identity after Piazza was traded in 1998 until the emergence of Matt Kemp and Clayton Kershaw in recent years. At any rate, going after an institution like Scully is a bad move from Piazza. But if the goal was to get us to talk about his book aside from mentioning PEDs, then he succeeded in achieving that goal. I just don't think this is going to help Piazza's image with Dodgers fans.

Cougar sightings reported in Seattle
Some Magnolia residents say a large cougar has been prowling the streets of Magnolia near Discovery Park.
Seattle Times staff reporter
If you see the cougar
Anyone seeing the cat is asked to the call the agency's Mill Creek office at 425-775-1311 or the Washington State Patrol or 911. Officials with the state Department of Fish and Wildlife say that once the cougar is found, they will attempt to trap and relocate it.
Some Magnolia residents say a large cougar has been prowling the streets of Magnolia near Discovery Park.
If true, it wouldn't be the first time one of the big cats has been seen in the neighborhood. One was captured there in 1981. Another was captured in a Ballard backyard in 1970.
A separate sighting was reported Tuesday near Woodland Park Zoo, according to KING-TV.
Recent sightings of a cougar in Magnolia have been reported on the Magnolia Voice blog and that's where Lori Jacobs read about it.
"I thought it was a joke and blew it off," Jacobs said.
But that changed early Tuesday morning.
She said she was driving home on West Bertona Street, between 35th and 36th avenues west, about 12:30 a.m. and had turned into the alley behind her house and that's when she saw a huge cougar two houses away, and it was walking toward her.
Worried about her cat, which was outside, she gunned her engine, turned her lights on bright and chased the cougar down the alley.
The big cat stopped, turned and looked at her. She rolled down her window and yelled at it. It flicked its tail and sauntered out of sight.
Jacobs reported her sighting to the State Department of Fish and Wildlife.
Spokesman Craig Bartlett said only Jacobs reported a cougar sighting and unless it's confirmed, the agency won't get involved. He said cougars are very rare in the neighborhood.
State wildlife officials also received a report of a cougar sighting near Woodland Park Zoo on Tuesday, according to KING-TV. "We're alerting all of our local officers in King County," Capt. Bill Hebner, Fish and Wildlife agent told KING. "To make sure they have their capture equipment. And when we get a good sighting — a fresh sighting — we'll deploy those officers and attempt to capture it and relocate it."
In 1981, a 90-pound, 2-year-old cougar was captured in Discovery Park. It was tranquilized and taken to a game farm in Tacoma. Officials believe the cat had been transported to the park or it would have been seen somewhere else in the city.
In 1970, a 117-pound cougar was tranquilized after it was found in the backyard of a Ballard home. It was taken to the Woodland Park Zoo, where it died.
On Sunday, Magnolia resident Thomas Olson was driving home near 34th Avenue West when he saw a cougar run into the road about 50 yards ahead of his vehicle, heading toward Discovery Park.
"I said, that's incredible, so I drove into the park and there it was again," he said.
"If I were someone who uses the park regularly, I'd think twice about going for a walk," said Olson. "I wouldn't have wanted to be out walking my dog that night."
Eventually, the cat jumped over a high fence into the Fort Lawton Cemetery, he said
Olson's wife, Connie, writing in the Magnolia Voice blog, said, "It is real and out there."
Jacobs said her sighting of the cougar has her frightened.
"There's no doubt this animal is dangerous," she said. "The fact it has been seen around here within a three-block radius of my house makes me very worried. How many people will have to call in before it's confirmed."
She's particularly worried that the cat has been seen within a half a block of a local elementary school.
She hopes the cougar can be captured and relocated; she doesn't want it killed.
According to the state wildlife department, cougars are the largest members of the cat family in North America. The state cougar population for the year 2008 was estimated to be 2,000 to 2,500 animals.
The department said wildlife offices throughout the state receive hundreds of calls a year regarding sightings, attacks on livestock and pets, and cougar-human confrontations.
"Our increasing human populations and decreasing cougar habitat may create more opportunities for such encounters," it said.

By Brian MacPhersonWhen the Kansas City Chiefs visit Gillette Stadium on Monday night on Monday night, plenty of familiar faces will be making their returns to New England -- and that's not even counting Kansas City quarterback Matt Cassel, who doesn't figure to play. "There are certainly some similarities to some of the things that were at the Jets in the '97, '98, '99 years (when) many of us were together," Patriots coach Bill Belichick said in a conference call Tuesday. Chiefs coach Todd Haley coached with Belichick when both worked for the New York Jets in the late 1990s. Chiefs defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel coached with the Patriots both under Bill Parcells and under Bill Belichick -- as well as with the Jets alongside Belichick -- before he departed the Patriots to take a head-coaching job with the Cleveland Browns following the 2004 season. Chiefs offensive coordinator Bill Muir worked as the offensive-line coach for the Patriots in the...

Quote of the Day
From Bruce Bartlett, lamenting the state of the modern conservative press since Irving Kristol shut down The Public Interest in 2005:
Commentary is now just a highbrow version of National Review, which is just a glossy version of Human Events, which has become a slightly less hysterical version of nutty websites like WorldNetDaily.
Nicely put. Bruce is obviously adapting quickly to the polemical rigors of the blogosphere.

The thyroid is a small gland in the neck that produces hormones involved in regulating the body's metabolism. Occasionally the thyroid will develop a physical abnormality, such as a goiter, a tumor or nodules.
The term goiter refers to the swelling of the thyroid gland. Most often occurring due to an iodine deficiency, goiters can become extremely large and are frequently visible as lumps on the neck.
Thyroid nodules are small lumps that form on the thyroid. Unlike goiters, they are not visible to the naked eye. Most often, they are not cancerous. Thyroid tumors, however, can indicate thyroid cancer and should be promptly tested for malignancy. Thyroid tumors are often visible as lumps on the neck, similar to goiters.
Parathyroid tumors are tumors of the parathyroid — four tiny glands located near the thyroid. These glands secrete a hormone that controls the amount of calcium in the blood and bones. Parathyroid tumors may interfere with this hormone, and therefore may cause problems with calcium metabolism.
Temple's otolaryngologists are highly experienced in diagnosing and treating thyroid and parathyroid abnormalities. Learn more about thyroid abnormality treatment at Temple.

Cluny Brown
Time Out saysLubitsch's last film and one of his most engaging comedies, with Jones and Boyer surprisingly well-teamed as the plumber's niece (later housemaid) and the Czech refugee who throw English society into a tizzy with their disregard for conventions, while simultaneously allowing Lubitsch to take a few digs at well-meaning liberals. The satire, though taking in snobbery upstairs, downstairs and in the middle classes, doesn't exactly bite, but is given a jolly run around by a cast comprising most of Hollywood's British stalwarts from Sir C Aubrey Smith to Sara Allgood and Una O'Connor.

N. Korea threatens nuclear retaliation on Japan
SEOUL – North Korea warned Japan on Friday that it risked nuclear retaliation should it get involved in any conflict that breaks out on the Korean peninsula.
Condemning as "provocative" Japan's statement that it might intercept an expected missile launch by North Korea, the Korean Central News Agency said intervention by Tokyo could see it "consumed in nuclear flames."
"Japan is always in the cross-hairs of our revolutionary army and if Japan makes a slightest move, the spark of war will touch Japan first," KCNA said in a commentary.
"Japan must come to its senses and behave rightly," it added.

Firstly please take the following information as a guide as I am not a tax expert, so if you have any further questions then it is best you contact your local tax authority, but here it is in a nutshell;
I have just been informed that come January 2015 anyone who sells digital downloads; so that could be crochet patterns, gaming apps, e-books, etc, if it's digital and you're selling it, you will now have to pay VAT, no matter who you are, how much you earn or where you live in the world.
*UPDATE* I don't know 100% how this applies to selling on Etsy, Amazon or Ravelry, but as my understanding goes, and through the research I have done via the British Government website on this subject, is that you should be okay if you are not taking payment directly. If you sell a digital item, which you then email after receiving payment directly via PayPal for example then you WILL be liable, but if you sell instant downloads via Etsy and they take the payment, take their cut and then pay you, then this falls under B2B (business to business) and Etsy have to worry about the VAT, not you. Again I reiterate that I am not an expert on this matter so do contact Etsy, Amazon etc first if you have any concerns. Google Play are updating their system so you can avoid the VAT problem, which you can read more on here.
Quote from HMRC "Determining who is making the supply
Where digital services are supplied B2C, it is the supplier of those services who is liable to pay the VAT to the tax authorities. Consequently it's essential to identify who that is. In the majority of cases this will be straightforward, although special rules apply for services through internet portals, gateways or marketplaces.
Supplies via internet portals, gateways or marketplaces
If you supply digital services to consumers through an online portal, gateway or marketplace then it's important to determine whether you're making the supply to the customer or to the platform operator. Where the platform operator sets the general terms and conditions, authorises payment or delivery, or doesn't clearly state the name of the supplier on the receipt or invoice issued to the consumer, then they'll be seen as making the B2C supply even if they're contractually only an agent."
Now, HappyBerry doesn't even earn enough to reach the tax threshold here in the UK, let alone the VAT threshold, but that will no longer matter because the EU have changed the rules, which will mean I will have to register for VAT regardless of how much I earn if I wish to continue selling patterns on our own website. But sadly it gets worse, sellers who also do this won't just have to register with your own country, oh no, you will have to register for VAT in every European Union country, under their laws, in their language, in their currency!!
So how come??! Well, it is because VAT will no longer be charged and accounted for based on where the business supplier is established, but according to the EU country where the customer belongs.
Now, I don't wish to be a doom and gloomer, I hate anything to do with tax, politics or complicated economy stuff, but this news came as quite a shock to me (I literally wondered if it was April 1st then I realised I had to order Christmas presents soon) because I realised that people in my situation, especially digital sellers who don't have an accountant to inform them of such changes, will be completely clueless to these new rules and will inevitable be breaking the law come January.
You could of course ignore all this and carry on as you are, but you face being audited by ANY of the EU tax authorities and face fines. Youch!
But it gets even worse. You may be fooled into thinking this doesn't affect you if you say live in the US, or Canada, even on the Moon, but if you sell digital downloads and sell to people in the EU then this will apply to you just as much as me here in the UK.
So Helen, who sells the odd knitting digital pattern in Iowa, just happened to sell one of her patterns to Isha in Germany, even though it was only for a few dollars, Helen now needs to register for Tax in Germany and pay anything due in Euros.
However, I think the situation could even be worse for any digital download seller, regardless of whether they sell to the EU, because it could apply even to say, an American company, selling to American people, who's customers registered their accounts in America, because if your American customer just happens to buy your digital download whilst on holiday in say, France, then the company is liable to suddenly pay VAT to France, even if they logged into their normal account Don't get me started on people travelling to multiple EU countries on a cruise.
However this also affects consumers! You may be fooled into thinking this is just a horrid post and go back on your way to downloading and purchasing some wonderful crochet and knitting patterns, but you may start to experience a shortage, because as companies and individuals struggle with these new changes they may be forced to close down and cease trading. We may have a worldwide shortage of crochet patterns! well digital ones at least. Not to mention music, gaming apps, e-books etc.
So why is this happening I hear you ask?
Maybe the EU have just gone mad, or more likely it is because the EU are fed up with larger companies such as Amazon and Google etc avoiding tax, but stupidly forgot how it affects us little people.
You would be fooled into thinking there may be a threshold amount, but there is none. You could literally earn as little as a 1 dollar, 1 pound, 1 yen, if your customer is based in the EU then you are liable. I know it's madness.
So what are your options if you do sell digital downloads?
Worst case scenario you will have to register for VAT in every single European Union country and pay extortionate amounts to an accountant to deal with all the paperwork, currency conversion and language barriers. This will require you to charge VAT on ALL of your products not just digital ones as well, but you can't just charge your country's VAT rate, it will need to be charged to the customer's country's rate. I know, impractical to even get your head around let alone do. This would require changes to your own website if you have one, not only to charge VAT in numerous different amounts that could possibly change frequently, but you will also have to keep records for up to ten years proving where these people were when they bought your download. You can't even rely on their IP address as Mr Frenchman, if he buys a digital download whilst on route to Paris from London and uses a French IP address and he lives in France and is basically just French as far as you and he knows, the VAT will apply to the UK as that was where he was travelling from. So you'd better get a crystal ball out while your at it because you're going to have to be psychic to know that kind of information,
So option 2. Well if you are British, then you can apply for the new MOSS program and register for VAT just in the UK (even though you earn no way near the threshold, this becomes irrelevant if you sell digital downloads), where HMRC will work this out all for you, (there is a similar program for the US), but this will involve you filling in VAT forms and for every quarter, so four times a year. You will probably need an accountant, which can get expensive and you still face the records and website issues stated above.
Option 3? Ban selling to the EU. You could implement website changes (if you have control, you wouldn't on say Etsy) to prevent selling to EU customers, which no-one wants, but you still face the problems listed above of customers being on holiday and you becoming liable. Blocking IPs are not fool proof either.
Option 4??
Give everything away for free, which of course is ridiculous or sell actual products. So you can harp back to the stone-age and post patterns in the mail instead, as actual goods do not come under the same rules. Great for Royal Mail I guess, but it's massively increasing your carbon footprint, time and cost.
Option 5 - probably the best solution
Sell through a market-place, but do check who takes the payment from the customer. If you sell through Amazon, they take the payment and not you, and then pay you what's left after their cut, similarly with Etsy Instant downloads, Patreon etc (although sponsorship is a grey area anyway). So all may not be lost, even if it does mean taking a small loss from the charges and percentages taken from your sales by the market-place. Even if the market-place you sell through says the responsibility lies with you, if they take the payment then it is still business to business, which means they are liable regardless under the EU rules. A saving grace maybe.
How will this affect HappyBerry. Well, it will mean over-all some positive changes for you guys who love my patterns as most of our patterns will become FREE! And some other exciting changes will be occurring to accommodate this issue, and over the next few months I will let you know what they are. So at least we are ending this post on a happy note!
There is a petition to protect us Brits, which you may want to sign.
And you can read more on this issue here.

I implore you to spread the word, as many sellers may be unaware and it may put pressure on the EU to introduce a threshold amount. Thank you.

ASIA/PAKISTAN - Christian minor raped and tortured by Muslims
Lahore (Agenzia Fides) - A Christian minor girl was kidnapped, raped and tortured by two influential Muslims. Fouzia Bibi, 15 years old, and a resident of the village of Roday, near Kasur (in Punjab), comes from a very poor family, and works as a farm laborer with her father, Malooka Masih, and with her brothers., On 25 January Fouzia Bibi had gone to do a commission, on behalf of the owner of the company, in a nearby location. On the way back two Muslims armed with pistols, Sher Muhammad and Shabir Ali, influential people of the territory, kidnapped and, imprisoned her in a room, raped and tortured her repeatedly. The girl was then left unconscious in the street. She was able to return home, Fouzua's family went to the police station to file for a complaint. Due to the police's refusal not to listen to what had happened , Fouzia's father turned to Rev.Saleem Gill of the "Church of Pakistan" (Anglican) and Bishop Irfan Jamil, who sought proper legal assistance.
Even the NGO LEAD (Legal Evangelical Association Development ") has been involved which is dedicated to promoting social commitment of Christians in Pakistan. Four days later, with the help of the NGO, First Information Report was presented against the rapists. Malooka Masih said that the perpetrators also threatened her family to avoid protruding complaint. Fouzia's family is now "terrified and under threat," says to Fides the LEAD.
The NGO notes that Christians are often victims of abuse by powerful Muslims, who deny them any dignity or human rights. In particular, Christian girls are doubly discriminated against and often treated "as goods." According to data Fides collected, each year there are approximately 700 cases of girls belonging to religious minorities (Christians or Hindus) who are raped or kidnapped, even for the purpose of conversion. Lawyer Sardar Mushtaq Gill, head of LEAD, strongly condemns the rapists, asking the government to "take strong measures to eliminate such phenomena of society." To combat such practices and to contribute to the law, Paul Bhatti, Special Advisor to the Prime Minister for National Harmony and President of the "All Pakistan Minorities Alliance" (APMA), today announced the creation of a special legal team of APMA that brings together leading jurists of different faiths, which will provide free legal assistance to people in need.

Legendary NAMCO BANDAI GAMES GUNDAM BREAKER hits the PS Vita on 10/31/2013!

Not a fan of Gundam but I don't judge people's tastes...
I prefer lolis more.

I care! Most of you guys probably don't give a rat's rear about Gundam, but this is what I gathered:
- Gundam sells EVERYTHING. One of the highest grossing PSP games was Gundam vs Gundam Next Plus, which is another crossover but with different mechanics. So while it probably won't make a dent in Western sales, I'm hoping that this pushes PSVs like hotcakes.
- Gundam Breaker (PS3) has apparently rated really highly.
- Gundam Build Fighters (...a new series, don't think too hard about it) is also premiering in October. The premise? Build-your-own Gundam/MS and then fight with it. The exact same premise as Breaker really. I'm 99% sure the release dates coincide so the products push each other.
Overall, this is far better news than previous posters have given it credit for. Yeah I'm not expecting localization either, but it's great news for the future of the PSV.

I love Gundam and I really do want good things for the Vita, but even I admit Gundam is next to dead here in the States when it comes to the general consumer. The Japanese release of Breaker isn't going to do anything for the Vita. Sorry.

This game will probably never make it out of Japan. At least it looks cool.
Check out what I'm playing this week at:

Oh look, another Japan-only game...
[[Currently Playing]] -- Hatsune Miku: Project Diva F (PS3), Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn (PS3 and PC)
[[PSN - MilesEdgeworth]] ~ [[XBL - The 22nd]]
breaker is alright, reminds of DWG but with alot more customization.
i had more fun with battle destiny on vita, not to mention it has some of the best gundam visuals ever.

To contact the Northern California Fertility Medical Clinic, and to register for one free In-vitro cycle click here
One in six couples are unable to conceive when they want to according to Doctor Carlos Soto-Albors of the Northern California Fertility Medical Clinic. That's why the Roseville, California clinic will be giving one family an In-vitro fertilization treatment cycle.
A single treatment can cost close to $10,000. That's why each year, during Infertility Awareness Week the clinic chooses one couple for a free treatment. The treatment doesn't always work the first time; however, the northern California clinic has a pretty good success rate with just one treatment. The clinic started this giveaway in 2010. Since that time, the clinic has helped three couples with one free In-vitro cycle. Two of which were successful.

Join us August, 3, for a screening of BREASTMILK. Executive produced by Ricki Lake. n a society that values efficiency, multitasking, and diagnostic solutions to problems, and in which women's roles are constantly changing, how does the practice of breastfeeding, with the slower pace it requires, fit in? Do we use pumps, medicine, and other means to make breastfeeding suit our schedules better, or should we change ourselves? These questions, along with the current state of women's politics, feminism, and reproductive health, made breastfeeding an irresistible subject for me.

SLOW AWAKENING: Middle East Investors Wisening Up To Africa
Reid to ask for 'unanimous consent' on sanctions; Would put more pressure on Iran's oil sector; Comes ahead of Iran's May 23 meeting with world powers; "Iran must either willfully commit to terminating its nuclear program or we will force their hand through crippling sanctions," said Democratic Senator Robert Menendez.
May 16, 2012 4:20 by Reuters
While the fast-growing continent offers plenty of opportunities, bankers say there are also a raft of challenges for Middle East investors, particularly due to the relatively small size of potential deals.
"We're seeing more interest. I think it's fair to say that we haven't seen a lot of that crystallise into deals so far," said Diana Layfield, Africa chief executive at Britain's Standard Chartered Plc.
"The Middle Eastern sovereign wealth funds are very interested in Africa, the challenge that they face is the increment at which they need to invest is way too large for the continent at the moment," Layfield told Reuters in an interview on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum on Africa.
Held this week in the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa, the forum highlighted Africa's attractions: it is home to some of the world's fastest growing economies and rapidly rising disposable incomes.
A decade of relative political stability has also helped the case for African investment.
"Definitely there will be more (investment) coming to Africa," Saudi Arabian Minister for Agriculture Farad Balghunaim told Reuters.
"With the clear vision that is building up in African leadership now, there will more and more investors from Saudi Arabia," he said in Addis Ababa.
But tapping that growth is not so easy, given the lack of liquidity in public capital markets. For private equity bankers, there is often a shortage of deals that can meet their mandate on size.
For instance, emerging markets private equity firm Actis told Reuters last month it is aiming for individual deals of $50 million or more in Africa, meaning it has to focus on the continent's biggest economies – South Africa, Egypt and Nigeria – to find deals.
Some Middle East investors, therefore, are focusing on smaller deals to gain exposure to Africa.
Dubai's Abraaj Capital is in the process of acquiring UK-based private equity firm Aureos Capital, which invests in small and medium-sized businesses in Africa, Latin America and Asia.
"We tend to have a sweet spot at around $10 million, but we have investments as low as $2 million and going up to about $35 million," Davinder Sikand, Aureos' regional managing partner for Africa told Reuters.
"Our focus has been to build regional champions. So we'll take positions in businesses that can demonstrate management vision and build (them) out, recognising that each of our markets other than Nigeria and South Africa are fairly small markets, and you need to build that scale."
Due to the constraints in their home markets, Middle East investors are familiar with Africa's challenges, such as the shoddy infrastructure, the scarcity of a highly trained workforce and the lack of liquidity in capital markets.
"The Middle East, part of which is rich in capital, is starting to look at Africa as an investment destination," said Frederic Sicre, a partner at Abraaj Capital.
Sicre said he was "definitely" seeing more interest in African private equity from Middle East investors.
"Behind us are 200 of the wealthiest merchant families, royal families from the Middle East, sovereign wealth funds from the Middle East. We can pull them in to looking at the infrastructure development space, or the big utility development space, into looking at the opportunities here."

Charlie Smarts - Tony Robbins
Artist: Charlie Smarts
Producer: Marshall Law
Album: LowBottomMe
Avg Rating: 3.1 ( 8 votes )
Hip-hop has seen some unlikely homages over the years – Laws' recent Paul McCartney tribute album and Lil B's infamous ode to Ellen Degeneres come to mind – but until someone shows me different, I'm going to assume that Charlie Smarts has just unleashed the first Tony Robbins reference in rap history. Whether the Kooley High member is a devotee of the motivation guru or not, Robbins (both the person and song) clearly have Smarts feeling inspired. Producer Marshall Law uses an unidentified soul sample and a booming bass line to get heads moving (bonus points for the beatboxing), a foundation that back up Smarts' always lyrically flexible musings which, in addition to Mr. Robbins, contains references to Richard Simmons, Chubby Checker and, most deliciously, Hot Pockets. If Robbins has you wanting to improve yourself, or at least your hip-hop collection, be sure to check out Smarts' upcoming solo project, LowBottomMe, and those in the NC area can see the man in action at Kooley High's upcoming show in Raleigh this weekend (6/24). It's all there for the taking, just help yourself.
