Charlie Daniels Celebrates Independence Day With New Music
Few artists are more vocal about their love for America than Charlie Daniels, and this July 4, the veteran entertainer is releasing two digital singles — a new song, 'Iraq Blues,' and an updated version of 'What This World Needs Is a Few More Rednecks.' Both songs will be included on 'Land That I Love,' a patriotic collection due out August 10.
"We've done so many patriotic songs through the years that it's a no-brainer to do an album of patriotic tunes. Right now, with everything that's going on, I think people need a little encouragement," Charlie tells The Boot. "They need to say, 'Hey we're still the United States of America. We're still the greatest country on the face of the earth. This country is worth fighting for. It's worth working for, worth voting for. It's worth being a good citizen. So here's some encouraging music for you. Here's how I feel about it. Here's my America!'"
'Land That I Love' opens with 'My Beautiful America' and the 15-song CD includes such CDB classics as 'In America,' 'Still in Saigon' and 'Simple Man' along with Charlie's version of 'The Star Spangled Banner' and such outspoken anthems as 'This Ain't No Rag, It's a Flag' and 'America, I Believe in You.'
"They are songs that deal with America and Americans, and the principles we're about, the cornerstones of what America is about," says Charlie of the music on 'Land That I Love.' "These songs are about what America means to me personally, what patriotism means to me, and my admiration for the people who defend the liberty of this country."
Charlie is well known for supporting America's troops and was recent recognized with the Patriot Award for Operation Troop Aid, honoring his consistent support of the US military. His pal Marty Raybon presented Charlie with the honor during CMA Music Fest. Marty's son Matthew is serving in Iraq and he wanted to present Charlie with the award on behalf of his son.
Charlie's new song, 'Iraq Blues," was written during three trips to Iraq and has become a favorite among military men and women. "I wrote one verse the first time I went over to Iraq, the second verse the second I went over and the third verse the third time I went over," Charlie says. "It's a little bit of an inside song — some of the lines about not watching CNN or buying the New York Times because they've treated those guys so bad over there. It's a song the troops get a big charge out of. I do it every show for the troops."
Also available for download on July 4 is a new version of 'What This World Needs is Few More Rednecks.' A longtime favorite of Charlie's fans, the tune was also featured in the 2002 Reese Witherspoon film, 'Sweet Home Alabama.' "I do that song every night and crowds seem to like that one," he says. "I just recently [rewrote] it. I got to thinking: 'It's a good tune, but it's not up to date. It's got something about Gorbachev and stuff, so let's change it around and bring it up to date.' I started fooling with the words a couple years ago and finally decided to cut it."
During the July 4 weekend, Charlie can be heard on more than 200 country radio stations coast to coast as host of 'America's Opry Weekend Star-Spangled Special.' "I was very honored," Charlie says of hosting the Opry special. "Any time my name is associated with the Grand Ole Opry or someone says 'Grand Ole Opry member Charlie Daniels,' it's a big thrill to me."
Having rebounded from a mild stroke in January, Charlie has been on the road maintaining a busy tour schedule this summer and working in a little r-and-r wherever he can. After the show in Billings, he and wife, Hazel, planned to stop and pay a visit to Mount Rushmore in South Dakota.
When asked about his July 4 plans, Charlie says he's almost always working on the holiday and this year will be no different. "I'll be playing music in Shreveport, La.," he says. "And I love fireworks. I hope they have some good fireworks down there!"

Keep the village strong
I have been a Millersburg resident for over 40 years, and I am disappointed to see how people are acting in this community over the income tax request. For 30 years the village has not asked for money despite the continued rise in cost of the services they provide to help make this a beautiful and great town to live in.
So many people want to point the finger at the mayor and council and call them thieves and accuse them of improper spending and not doing things to save money.
First of all let's get one thing straight the only reason the village is asking for more money is because the state pulled the rug out from underneath the village with the quick elimination of state funding. So, if you want to point the finger then point it in the right direction and that is to Columbus and our state government.
A lot of people are also upset over the new fees residents are going to have to pay, and I don't blame them. I don't want to have to pay these fees either. However, to accuse the mayor and council of being liars and say things like the village is being greedy and just wants more money is ridiculous.
Take a moment and think about it. The mayor and all the council members live in town just like you and me. So, they are going to have to pay these same fees just like you and me.
Getting rid of the police department and dispatch is ludicrous. Remember, just because you have never had dealings with the police department doesn't mean they are not important and the services they provide are not important.
Did you read a recent article in The Daily Record about the driver who fell asleep and caused extensive damage to businesses along West Jackson Street? Now, I wonder how many dealings the business owners had previously with the police department, but as the article read they were very thankful for the help they received from the police department.
Let's come together as a community and pass that income tax and keep this town the great town it has been for so many years and a place where people want to live because it is safe and a beautiful town.

Abortion is the devil's work
Do you believe in the sanctity of life? I assure you Obama and Holden, along with the ACLU and Planned Parenthood do not. "When Obama was an Illinois state senator, he killed the Born Alive Infant Protection Act. As a U.S. senator he was outraged when our Supreme Court upheld partial-birth abortion law.
Obama's current administration continues its extreme radical abortion agenda. They could care less about protecting helpless unborn babies. As I write in one of my books, "abortion is murder." It is the greatest cancer that continues to eat away at the soul of America.
From the beginning of baby killing back in 1939, the goal was to eliminate undesirables." Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood who was a eugenicist, was the leader to legalize abortion. Many others agreed with her.
Sanger wrote, "the most merciful thing a large family does is kill infant members." In "Birth Control Review" by Sanger, she advocated creating farms to segregate "unfit people to safeguard citizens from heredity traits." Peter Singer, a professor at Princeton University, also supports killing babies and he is teaching our young adults.
Abortion must stop if we are to save our nation. Abortion destroys mothers and families. Pray for a change of heart from our leaders. As a nation we cannot support continued baby killing. Many studios indicate 55-70 percent of our citizens oppose abortion.
For those of us who love America and want to save it, we must pray for sanity from our leaders. We must never accept abortion. "For the past 39 years, an average of one unborn child has been killed every 20 seconds; a total of 50 million deaths of innocent humans."
Have you ever heard of a more horrible statistic?

"Every season we base our design starting with a sport-meets-military color palette and a utilitarian function," says co-founder James Bond of Undefeated's in-house apparel. For Fall/Winter 2012, the retailer/label again hews closely to that design philosophy — the collection includes both military-inspired garments and athletic wear, all filtered through an urban perspective. This season's assortment of sweats and jackets includes classic pieces in heather grey and black, all bearing an array of iconic UNDFTD graphics — the classic Five Strikes logo and brand mascot Eddie the Eagle, among them. From hoodies to classic drawstring sweatpants, there is plenty to like about the new, easy-to-wear range of athletic apparel – a line that conjures up thoughts of varsity sports and fall weather. In addition to the range of sweat options, Undefeated's taut installment of outerwear includes the standout "Satin Snap-Up" piece that pays homage to iconic sporting jackets. A selection of Undefeated's new releases for Fall/Winter 2012 is available now at our online store.

how to become a smithy

If you have back problems, gunsmithing might not be the job for you, other factors aside. Most gunsmithing work is done on the feet, bending over a lathe or milling machine or drill press. Bench work involves bending over the work, sometimes for long periods of time as you tediously file and fit a replacement part. I did it, but now have lower back problems and probably could not do it today without constant pain.
Before spending money and time on a gunsmith school, I would try to locate a local gunsmith who will allow you to sit in and observe his work for a day or so. Tell him what you want to do and perhaps he will let you actually do some work if he feels he can trust you. I don't think he will be worried about possible competition; most smiths fully recognize that there is a lot more work than there are good smiths and are more than willing to share their knowledge.

Following the incidents on Friday, 19 October, 2012 at the football match involving Sheffield Wednesday FC and Leeds United FC at Hillsborough, Senior Investigating Officer Detective Inspector Mark Monteiro said: "With the public's assistance we have clearly identified the offender who ran onto the pitch during last night's game between Sheffield Wednesday FC and Leeds United FC and who is suspected of assaulting the Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper.
We are dealing with the complaint made by the player and we are currently taking statements, collating evidence and making enquiries to locate and arrest the offender.
We are also using CCTV footage from around the ground to identify suspects who may have been responsible for other offences before, during or after the match.
I'd like to thank the supporters and general public who have provided information and assisted with our inquiries.

I do think of Superman when I hear Clark, but that's definitely not a bad thing. What little boy wouldn't like having the same name as a superhero?

Motherhood (and being an Auntie) can be a mind-boggler. Go2Girl shares her latest revelation about her role in The Mommy Club.
I absolutely love being an Auntie to two adorable lil ones who are twins. My gift giving has never gotten out of control, but I must admit, I do like (spoiling) buying them stuff - messy sweets that their parents usually say no to or those toys which would make any parents want to donate in a second. However, let the truth be known, I actually feel like a kid again when I get to buy fun toys and games for them that I deep down want for myself! There I said it, I want to be like Tom Hanks in Big all over again. Sigh, those days might be over for me, but playing the role of Auntie gives me a free pass to buying everything that my mom would have said, "put that back now!"
Do you have a treasure trove of parenting suggestions? Start sharing your advice and tips in our The Mommy Club! Here's a detailed guide to posting questions or posts to groups if you are new to the PopSugar Community.

Pitch two - count on friction to get you to the second bolt, then move right (think small). Now move back left and catch a welcome three-fingertip hold that allows your feet some added friction. This is the crux. Pull it and finish with "Battle Forever More"; bring Metolius one to four, along with shoulder length slings for the this section.
Expect some high stepping onto matchstick holds.

Combine Look Back: The Class Of 2012Posted by on February 21, 2014 – 1:42 pm
Although 40-yard dashes, broad jumps and bench press reps don't really give us an idea of a prospect's viability as a football player, the physical tests can give a glimpse at a man's raw athletic potential and ability to thrive in a competitive atmosphere. Over the course of the 2014 NFL Scouting Combine, the Redskins blog will take a look back at how Washington's past three draft classes fared in Indianapolis.

The linebacker cracked jokes with Darryl Tapp during stretching and had a conversation with Kedric Golston while the special teams units drilled.

Alfred Morris, Tom Compton and Troy Kropog Find Their Inner WolfPosted by on December 6, 2013 – 3:28 pm
No one really remembers how it started, but we know it was an offensive lineman who brought the wolves into the Redskins locker room.
One of the big men came to work wearing the type of T-shirt you'd find in the gift shop at Rocky Mountain National Park, the type of shirt worn by your friend's hippie mom who wore wool socks with Birkenstocks and made you take shots of wheat grass that one time.
Practice squad offensive lineman Troy Kropog saw an opportunity.Then the players found themountain.com.

Redskins–We Have A Bobsled TeamPosted by on September 2, 2013 – 4:31 pm
If you saw rather large men running down the streets with a bobsled this weekend in matching uniforms it may or may not have been the Washington Redskins. After all I've heard summer is the best time to practice for the Winter Olympics.
Sure it felt more like the middle of July than September, but as Derice, Sanka, Junior and Yul taught everyone in the mid 90's, it doesn't matter how high the mercury rises on the thermometer as long as you have your team.
So as the rest of the team wore various (and somewhat hideous) Hawaiian shirts to an island themed party, Josh LeRibeus, Adam Gettis, Kirk Cousins, Ryan Kerrigan and Tom Compton found some extremely large spandex body suits and paid homage to Cool Runnings. Mon trust me when I say you'll never see a pushcart team like this anywhere else.

Redskins Weigh In On Healthy EatingPosted by on July 5, 2013 – 1:28 pm
With beach season fully underway, I'm sure most of you have considered techniques (possibly from the Internet) on getting fit and toned.
Sure you might have cut out those pesky carbs and decided chocolate cake isn't for you right now, but when it comes down to it your diet may still be missing one key ingredient—fruit.
As a safe warning, please don't tell Ryan Kerrigan you forgot to buy bananas at the grocery store again.

Combine Is Key For Redskins ScoutsPosted by on February 19, 2013 – 3:19 pm
Redskins Director of Player Personnel Scott Campbell is entering his 27th NFL season and his 13th with the Washington Redskins. Campbell originally joined the Redskins staff in 2001 as Director of College Scouting and in 2008 he was promoted to his current role as Director of Player Personnel.
As son of Marion Campbell, former head coach for the Atlanta Falcons and the defensive coordinator for the NFC Champion Philadelphia Eagles (1980), Scott's NFL background is an extensive one to say the least, serving in numerous roles throughout his tenure in the league.
Fans sometimes look at the NFL season within the microscope of a five month season and yearly April draft. However, for Scott Campbell and the other team scouts, championships are won and/or lost in the time spent off of the gridiron. Read more »

Cousins, Compton Honor SweetnessPosted by on August 21, 2012 – 10:15 am
The Washington Redskins' offense had much to celebrate in the fourth quarter of its preseason game against the Chicago Bears on Saturday.
Exactly how they would celebrate scoring plays was apparently predetermined — at least for quarterback Kirk Cousins and offensive lineman Tom Compton.
Playing at Chicago's Solider Field, the Redskins teammates decided to honor Bears' great running back Walter Payton by trying to recreate his famous jumping hand slap with teammate Todd Bell after Payton broke the NFL's all-time rushing record in 1984.

Rookie Spotlight: Tom ComptonPosted by on August 4, 2012 – 8:52 am
Each day during training camp, the Redskins Blog will be highlighting one rookie as they participate in their first professional camp and try to find their way onto the final roster. Today's spotlight is on offensive tackle Tom Compton.
Tom Compton has seen a few of his fellow offensive linemen battle through injuries as his first training camp gets underway.
But Compton — the Redskins' sixth-round pick out of South Dakota — doesn't think about when his number might be called to fill in a hole along the line.
That's because he's too busy thinking about improving each day. Worrying about his spot in the rotation, Compton said, is for the birds.
"Regardless of if guys go down or not, you always have the mindset that you're just one or two plays away from stepping in," Compton said this week after a morning walk-through practice at Redskins Park. "So you have to be preparing so well to be in the position that, whether guys go down or not, you focus on what you're doing to make yourself the best you can be."

Rookie Offensive Lineman Gets Feet WetPosted by on May 22, 2012 – 9:34 am
There's something to be said about that first day of the season when you're finally allowed to run drills against your teammates — and not go against tackling dummies.
Redskins' rookie offensive tackle Tom Compton said he felt that freedom Monday in his first-ever round of organized team activites at Redskins Park.

Discussion in 'Texans Talk' started by GP, Jan 5, 2010.
Mods, merge into other Cushing DROY thread if necessary.
Link to story.
Congrats, Brian Cushing!
Apparently cutting his hair didn't take his super powers.
WOW!! Fantastic news!! PLUS, he won by a landslide!!!
CONGRATS CUSH!! A well deserved honor!!
When do we find out who won ROTY?
Congrats to Brian "I'm Not A Rookie" Cushing.
Awesome! Cush is a beast......
Like we didnt know that was going to happen. Cushing is a beast go cushing!
Right on!!!
I thought it was DROY and OROY only. Is there an overall ROY? If their is, Harvin will get it cause Favererer is his QB, but oh well. Kind of shocked to see him win so big, though he is well deserving.
BTW, worst call I've ever made on a rookie. I thought he was gonna be a dog.
I just wanted to add something. Please understand that I'm not saying this is why Cush got the award. Certainly his play has been proven on the field.
Darius Byrd had a great season too and was probably the most deserving aside from Cushing. Same goes for Clay Matthews.
I'd like to think tho that perhaps drafting these players from marketable schools like USC is one heck of a way to get the league and ESPN on your side. Granted the kid has to produce but you have to think that it helps.
Either way Cushing did an awesome job and I'm going to buy his jersey today.
Agree with you. Helps when people know who plays for you.
I have noticed this too, that's the way ESPiN rolls. They are a hype machine that loves to be proven right. This was particularly the case during the bush/vy/MARIO draft. They eventually had to shut up and quit dogging the Texans and endorse the Mario pick. But when bush/vy show flashes they slober all over them.
Whoever drafts Tebow will garner instant attention and praise to the point of nausea.
Way to go CUSH!
Just saw it on ESPN First Take! Nice! Way to go Cushing.
Beast for at least ten more years.
Be prepared with Tebow, because it looks like he's going to Jacksonville.
LOL...I hope thats true.
As long as it isn't McCoy, I'm good.
Congrats Cush!! The vocal leader of our D for many years to come!
Cushing was a steal. Best LB in the draft easily to this point, top 5 impact and talent at #15. Great job Cushing!
Can't wait for two former UUT qb's to be in the AFC South. Should be fun. Though, at least Schaub is the 2nd best QB in the AFC South by far. And that's not an insult.
I think back to the draft and I was on my knees praying that cushing would fall to us! Great player, great season, cush rules ass!

Jackley to brief lawmakers on economic probe
PIERRE (AP) — Attorney General Marty Jackley plans to brief lawmakers Tuesday on his investigation into potential financial misconduct at the Governor's Office of Economic Development.
He'll address the South Dakota Government Operations and Audit Committee of the Legislature in Pierre. It's not clear if the meeting will be open to the public.
A state audit found that just before Richard Benda left his job as head of the economic development office in December 2010, he tacked on an extra $550,000 to a grant agreement to help the struggling Northern Beef Packers plant in Aberdeen.
An earlier report from Jackley said that same amount was improperly diverted to SDRC Inc., Benda's new employer.
Benda was found dead in October near Lake Andes with a fatal shotgun wound. His death was ruled a suicide.

The history of Rome Luxury Suites, our Luxury Boutique hotels in Rome, begins in the 18th century with the development of an artist's colony in today's premier luxury-shopping district. In 1855 my great grand-father, the Marquis Francesco Patrizi, built a palace on Via Margutta 54 and provided studios for artists to live and work. Pablo Picasso, Igor Stravinsky, and the famous Italian opera composer Giacomo Puccini produced some of their greatest works in these studios in the early 1900s.
Today, Via Margutta, Via Mario de' Fiori and Via Babuino are among the most enchanting streets in Rome. Here local artisans mix with chic boutiques, art galleries, and lively restaurants to bring alive the years of the "Dolce Vita". We created three distinct properties, combining the rich history of this prestigious neighborhood with contemporary Italian style, to offer tastefully appointed, spacious rooms & suites to the discerning traveler.
To stay at Rome Luxury Suites is to experience Rome in a most unique way. We will share our insights and local knowledge to help you discover the secrets of our beautiful city, many of which are just a short stroll away. You will be surrounded by the legacy of artists of the past, and feel what it is like to live as a true Roman.

This tea has a lot of elements and I believe that is one reason that I find it difficult to brew properly. However, I do like this tea cold brewed.

Fractional Gold coins are ideal for any investor or collector. Add this 1/10 oz Gold Krugerrand to your cart today!
The obverse of the coin features the profile of Paul Kruger, the first and only president of South Africa. The reverse depicts a Springbok antelope, a symbol synonymous with South Africa. The word "Krugerrand" comes from President Kruger's last name and is combined with "rand", the currency of South Africa. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, South Africa produced 74 percent of the world's Gold, and by 1980, the Krugerrand accounted for 90 percent of the global Gold coin market. The coin was so popular it inspired other countries like the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom to produce their own Gold bullion coins. Despite the Krugerrand's popularity, due to South Africa's system of apartheid, many Western countries placed sanctions on South Africa and banned the import of Gold Krugerrand coins from the 1970s to 1994. Because of this, production levels of the Gold coin have varied greatly since 1967, but the South African Mint produced the most coins before the sanctions were put in place.
Stephanus Johannes Paulus "Paul" Kruger, often referred to as Oom Paul ("Uncle Paul"), was one of the most prominent military and political figures of 19th-century South Africa. Kruger was president of the South African Republic, also known as the Transvaal, from 1883 to 1900 and was the face of the Second Boer War from 1899-1902. This war between the United Kingdom and the Transvaal and its neighboring Orange Free State came about because of conflicting ideologies of imperialism and republicanism, the discovery of Gold on the on the Witwatersrand and tension between various political leaders, among many other reasons. Kruger's cause was ultimately unsuccessful and he was exiled to Europe before a treaty was signed annexing the Transvaal and Orange Free State to Britain. To this day, Kruger remains a divisive figure in South African history. Admirers of Kruger consider him a tragic folk hero who was able to unite and defend a maligned nation, but to critics, he was the champion of an ignoble cause and a suppressor of the native Africans in the region. Regardless of these differing viewpoints, Kruger was undoubtedly responsible for shaping much of South Africa's history.
The South African Mint was first established by President Kruger in 1892 in order to address the serious shortage of coins in circulation and to provide a means for South Africa to produce its own currency. After Britain occupied South Africa as a result of the Second Boer War, all production at the mint ceased until the Mint Act of 1919 established the Royal Mint in Pretoria. In 1941, Britain broke the bonds with the Royal Mint in Pretoria and it thus became the South African Mint. In 1961, when South Africa became its own republic, the mint stopped producing British currency and introduced its own currency system.

As my first Krugerrand, i was especially amazed at the unique coloring of 22 kt "Crown Gold". This is a Beautiful Alloy. You can really see the copper tone and the larger size is also easily noticeable. As a Tradable Gold piece is a not only a well known coin, but the original bullion coin if i'm not mistaken. I found that it made a great conversation piece and others expressed interest in getting a Krugerrand themselves. I actually ended up helping a friend purchase one here. Great coin all around! Worth keeping or selling / trading. They are well known and very common but at the same time they are hard to part with! 1/10 OZ. Krugerrand is a must have!
- Mint Condition
- Value (low premium over spot)
- Attractive Design
- Unique Alloy
- Recognized Brand
- Easy to Sell
Received my coins today and am absolutely satisfied with them. Nice size and (BU) condidtion. I will buy more.
We provide all of our customers with a refund, return and / or exchange on everything we sell including all bullion and certified coins. If for any reason, you have a problem, please feel free to call us. We will always do our best to accommodate you.

How do i "DO" christmas(27 Posts)
Growing up christmas for us was just basically my mum and stepdad buying us some stuff,and having a turkey roast dinner on christmas day,we had a tree up aswell,that was it,no traditions or anything,they didnt really do santa,my mum used to say that she bought the presents and then santa took them away and bought them back again on christmas eve,which didnt really make sense so i didnt believe in it for long.
My kids are 5,4,3 and 1 now,and up til now weve not made a huge fuss out of christmas or father christmas,but as the older ones are at school they are starting to ask about it,i am feeling quite christmassy this year and would like to start some traditions and start the whole santa thing,ive bought elf on a shelf and have a hamper with christmas books,dvds etc in.
What do i do about santa,are all the presents from him?we never had stockings,what are they for and who are they supposed to be from,when do they open them?
Im also due december 19th which is why im sorting it all out in my mind now so i can relax in december and nest!Ive bought all the kids presents and all the kids on dhs side,just not grown ups yet.
so basically,how do you do christmas?and what do you tell your kids about santa?
For us Christmas works like this -
Christmas Eve = trip into our nearest big town to see the lights, ride the carousel, soak up the atmosphere. Stop off somewhere for dinner on the way home...nothing fancy, just Pizza Express, Frankie & Benny's or similar. While we've been out the elves have magically left new PJs on our DDs beds along with their stockings, ready to be hung up (either me or DH "forget" our keys once we're in the car ready to go out and have to dash back in to leave the pjs/stockings on the beds while the girls wait in the car). Once back home we all get in our pjs, leave out whisky, shortbread, carrots etc by the fire, watch a bit of Xmas telly then off to bed for the DDs and open a bottle of fizz for us, while we wait for them to go to sleep so that we can creep up and fill their stockings.
Christmas Day - girls can open their stockings as soon as they wake up, then once it's a reasonable hour we all go down stairs together...no-one is allowed down before the others - and the girls open their presents from Santa and DH and I do ours too. They're also allowed to open any presents from family we won't be seeing later that day. Tea and bacon rolls all round after the present opening. My DPs normally come over early afternoon when we do more fizz, more presents and some canapés. Then dinner around 3ish...then a walk, games and they go home about 9ish. DDs off to bed, we clear up and open more fizz (do you spot a theme??), TV and collapse!
Boxing Day - a do nothing day, PJs all day if that's what folk want to do, grazing from the fridge, eating chocolate, watching TV
and drinking more fizz. My favourite day!!
ringaring, boxing day is a lazy day for us. I get lots of snacky bits and bobs, remains of the meat from Christmas day, maybe some naice ham and crusty bread and pickles.....all on the table around lunch time for us to pick at for maybe an hour or so (dd2 is fussy about food & tends to take ages over one thing).
Pj's most of the day. Maybe wander to the park or into town for reduced xmas wrap for the dc's for next year (last year it was for a hoover because ours packed up on xmas eve )
Munch our way through boxing day afternoon with selection boxes, roses etc, peaceful bath with when the girls go to bed.
wow thanksfor all thegreat ideas,lots of lovely things for me to copy!
What do you do on boxing day?my mum used to go to the sales and we used to get left at home to watch even more tv!what do most people eat?
wamabama, I think I might pinch your holiday tree idea, sounds like something my two would enjoy making decorations for through the year
Found the thread I was looking for, it's this one: lots of good ideas for Christmas Eve.
Have booked to take DD to see the Nutcracker this year at Covent Garden. I am beyond excited about that.
wamabama - I like the idea of a holiday tree - I might pinch that one for next year. I have always liked the Easter trees that you see in the shops but couldn't justify the cost really - but if I used it at Halloween and Christmas too...bargain!
I also love the build-up and usually do or plan to do the following this year:
Elf on the Shelf
Christmas Eve hamper
Harrods Father Christmas
Lapland UK
Christmas lights at Kew Gardens
Take the DCs to see lights on Oxford Street and choose a decoration - last year we did Selfridges, I think will take them to Libertys this year
Disney on Ice
Usually Christmas film at cinema on Christmas Eve
Make Christmas cards/decorations
Decorate gingerbread house
Christmas DVDs, books, cushions, books etc come out on Dec 1st
Tree and other decorations go up the first weekend in December
There was a thread a while ago by an OP who talked about looking for Jack Frost. Her Christmas preparations sounded amazing (although some people on the thread slated her for going OTT). I will try and find it and link.
Dh works Christmas Day, so this is our day. Just discussed it with the dc (6,4) to see if they have anything to add. Waiting up for Santa is not on the list!
Christmas Eve- dh works but dc and I put out a glass of sherry for Santa, water for reindeer, and some biscuits. We watch something Christmassy, which if dd has any say, it will be Christmas Barbie lots of carols.
We put stockings on the beds, little toys, chocolate, satsuma, some coinsThey open them when they wake up in our bed. We drink coffee.
Then huge breakfast, whatever you want. Usually a full English.
Play with toys, carols, Dh goes to work. We have a lunch, something nice, then out for a long walk.
Get home, dc play with toys, whatever they want. I cook and we have our Christmas dinner in the evening when dh is home.
I explain the Christmas story and we have a little nativity scene.
Dc stay up as late as they like. We Skype relatives.
I'm going to look on the Christmas thread a bit to see what tips I can get to make it better.
Boxing Day first job after breakfast, we write thank you notes.
I think it's the build up to the day and these little traditions that really make Christmas what it is rather than the gifts. My Christmases growing up were very similar to yours- mum said the same thing about Santa too so it never really felt special. We also just used to sit and watch TV for most of the day which sucked and there was never any real build up to the day...
So now with my DC I put tons of pressure on myself to make it special. My DC are all under four so I haven't really got the Santa story down yet... but I'll figure something out . We do Elf on the shelf, go on a Santa train- steam train and Santa pays a visit , buy the DC Christmas hats to wear throughout December, bake a lot of different Christmassy things including gingerbread house&people, mince pies, stollen etc. I make a vegan version of eggnog which we drink out of National Lampoons moose mugs . Go to Christmas market, do Christmassy crafts, have a real tree and also we have a 'holiday tree' which we decorate for Easter, Halloween and Christmas which I let the DC decorate. Make snow globes, on xmas eve we go for a family walk and come back to find Norbert the elf has gone but has left a note and little gift hamper for them (new pjs, slippers, choc coins, marshmallows). Then we get into our pjs, drink hot choc and watch a movie. Watching Christmas movies throughout whole of December too is a big thing. Oh and we bake cookies for Santa to leave him on Xmas eve with his soy milk.
Possibly more but it's already huge! I go a bit insane over Christmas because it's my favourite time of year and I'm determined to give them the special ones I never had .
oooh that sounds fab Pom, wonder if I could learn to knit quickly so I can make some
My tree decorations are mostly edible: popcorn strings, candy canes, gingerbread shapes and stained glass window biscuits. It looks wonderful and is lots of fun, but the children do nibble them a lot.
There's a book called "All you knit is love" that has patterns for gingerbread people in it Lucysmam - they're a bride and groom but you don't have to put the wedding clothes on them, just do the people.
70 we tend to get mice in winter or I would do real ones....think they'd be a bit tempting to small furry critters though
lucysmam instead of fake candy canes and gingerbread men- why not get real canes (out at the moment. The Range, supermarket and £ shops have them) and bake some gingerbread men.
It'll cost you less and you'll probably want a different theme next year.
(And you can eat the canes after, Gingerbread might be a bit soft)
We do stockings which are filled by the elves and left on the bed for Christmas morning which are brought through to our room and opened on our bed while DH and I have a much needed mug of coffee to kick start the day - this is usually my favourite time and can last an hour or longer while they open up all the little gifts inside. Nothing expensive but things that tend to keep them occupied for a while and don't require any construction or batteries!
Once downstairs there are a number of presents in the middle of the floor. These ones are from Santa and are the ones requested on the letter to Santa that the DC's write at the beginning of December. They never ask for more than 2 or 3 things each so generally get what they have asked for.
Everything else under the tree is from DH and I, friends, relatives etc and the DC's know who has got them what and can thank everyone for their gifts.
My friend has a DC who is the same age as my DS and he believes that every single present is from Santa. As he gets older she is finding it harder to keep this up as not a single present can appear under the tree until Christmas morning and they all have to be hidden around the home
and in our loft. Also, she never gets any credit for all the great gifts she buys him
Love reading how everyone celebrates! Christmas is huge in our house!
on Christmas eve we go to a party in dh grandmothers house and all the cousins are there. Its relaxed chaos, and very enjoyable. We leave around half 6 and go home to get ready for Santa. New pjs and we sit down to read how the Grinch stole Christmas (that's a tradition for ds1, its his special book that he will take to his own family when he is grown up!) and the night before Christmas (that's mine, i got my book when i was 5 and my mum read it every year to me!) i need to get one for ds2 this year!
then we leave out some treats for Santa and off to bed.
In the morning we all go downstairs together and Santa will have left a stocking for each child and two piles of presents in different wrapping paper for each child. We open everything. Then while dh helps with any box opening and a bit of a clear up, i start breakfast. Really good coffee, pancakes and bacon usually.
After breakfast the kids are allowed some sweets from their stockings, and we lounge with our toys and Christmas music.
Around lunch time my parents and siblings come and we have some nibbles and drinks. My mum and I do some dinner prep and the rest play board games and my brother (the absolute star) puts together any toys that need it!
We all sit down to dinner, but its pretty relaxed, i don't mind if the kids sit or not. Ds1 does sit up, but its not strict.
After dinner my inlaws come and we have dessert together and play some
very competitive games and have some drinks.
Everyone leaves around 7, and we let the kids wind down before bed with a film. Once they are in bed me and dh listen to some Christmas music and just relax.
Boxing day we go for a long walk on the beach and eat whatever they want when we get home. Chocolate all day, sandwiches, chips, whatever. Ds1 loves the novelty!
Just writing that has made me feel all excited! I think if you are excited the kids are very easy to get excited too, and that's what makes it special.
Cheers for that Whereisegg....wish I'd known sooner ffs! was dreading it again this years but the girls love it
And they aren't expected to sit for the the hours of eating that takes place.
Oh yes I forgot breakfast. We have Turkish breakfast (feta, bread, jam, olives, salad, eggs, garlic sausage) all in the middle of the table how we do in holiday. My DC call it Christmas breakfast even when we are in Turkey in 40 degree summer heat.
oh, and we leave santa a cookie and some milk, dd2 does not believe but dd1 does so we still do it every year.
We never had stcokings, we did have a sack or pillow case, father Christmas would buy us one big present and then a few smaller ones (colouring book, pj's, slippers etc..), father Christmas would take the other presents from under the tree (from family) and also put them in our sacks (so it looked like we had a lot more), we would get up early, tear it all open then my gran and granddad would come over for lunch, the old's would fall asleep in the afternoon whilst we stuffed quality street , was the same almost every year.
We do stockings in our house (keeps them quite for a hour whilst we wake up and dh has his morning cup of coffee, we then have presents under the tree from family and a sack from father Christmas (1 big gift and lots of small things), we try and make the present opening last as long as we can.
We also do Christmas eve pj's plus a dvd or a book (again its for our benefit as it keeps them busy Christmas eve night for a hour, either reading or watching a dvd).
We have a 3 course meal for Christmas dinner apart from dd1 who has pizza (don't ask), we like to stay at home on our own as both dd's have autism and anything else is a bit too much for them (we had a bad Christmas a few years ago where we went out and dd2 spent all day crying so now we stay at home), we keep it quite relaxed, the dd's play all day, we then watch all the rubbish tv in the evening. Boxing day we have the step children over for more present opening and a buffet, sometimes we take them to the sales.
Quite chilled out really .
Just subbing to read later
For the Santa footprints.... Flour works very well to be tramped through, and hoovers up easily.
Snacked on, obviously. We do not assault our food.
I think it's the experiences that make Christmas fun and magical. I'm sure your dc will love your plans.
In our house Father Christmas delivers a stocking of small gifts and one bigger gift under the tree. All other gifts are from their real giver, including a few from us. We put an empty stocking on the foot of the dd's beds at bedtime, then sneak it out once they're asleep, fill it and put it back.
In the morning the dds come into bed with us to open their stockings. Then we stagger downstairs for breakfast and tea/coffee, we normally have something nice but easy for breakfast, like croissants or cinnamon rolls (dp always has a bacon sandwich). We generally don't have people staying, so we have quite a relaxed day. No rules about when presents are opened, but we do encourage dd1 to have a look at her presents rather than just opening them all at once (dd2 is a baby).
Dp and I do as much prep as possible for christmas dinner the night before, so generally there's only the meat to go in the oven (we enormally have goose) and veg to turn on. Starters and afters are easy things like baked camembert and bought in chocolate pud that just need sticking in the oven. No traditional christmas cake or pudding here as nobody likes them, but I will make a cake (normally chocolate) which I will decorate with dd1.
We try and eat around 12 as the dds get hungry then. I'm trying out making crackers this year so the dds will have something to play with at the table that I know they'll like. If the dds get bored after a bit I let them get down and play while dp and I enjoy our food, I don't want a fight on christmas day and long meals aren't fun for little ones.
After lunch an extra present from Father Christmas will have appeared under the tree (snuck out by me while claiming to go to the loo). This will be to the whole family and be something we can do together - this year it's a jigsaw, but I'd like to do a game to play when the dds are big enough.
The day is also broken up by dog walks - we'll go out both during the morning and during the afternoon for an hour or so. In the morning one of me or dp takes the kids while the other sorts the food, in the afternoon we all go together.
Christmas tea is leftovers with warm crusty bread (we get the part cooked rolls) and is generally smacked on when you fancy rather than at the table.
After bedtime dp and I drink wine and watch the Doctor Who special on iPlayer.
I should point out, this is what happens on years I am not working. When I am we normally spend christmas with dmil, but it's still quite relaxed (and dp does all the cooking so I can spend what time I have with the dds).
We used to have similar a similar Christmas to OP as children. I do have great memories though with decorating the tree etc. my brother and I would always get one same present I.e. Bikes that were hidden at the neighbours.
We believed in Santa but I don't remember any particular stories as such. We just accepted that mum and dad and a few others bought the presents and Santa put them under the tree. We would spend the afternoon riding our new bikes or playing cards.
Nowadays Santa brings done things to our house and the rest to my parents for the afternoon.
We get up and Santa always brings a cereal bar for DC to eat whilst we drink coffee and they open their presents which are usually small things and their clothes for the day. Usually these also have things to keep them occupied for the morning.
DH preps roasties and then we go to my parents where we have more presents and if our big present isn't sonething that needs to be pre-made it will be there.
Dinner - the eating takes the rest of the day as dad is Turkish which means we eat loads of bits and pieces throughout the afternoon which is interspersed with card games/quiz/board games.
We do have a couple of traditions now. Christmas PJs which is growing to more hamper like each year and we are starting to do board games on Christmad Eve. Christmas Eve is my favourite part actually. The two older DC 7 and 5, get really excited about PJs after their bath since they are familiar with the tradition.

text: Hi, I'm looking for a restaurant in Amman near te Four Seasons hotel. I'm staying there only for the one night. Is there any restaurants which would serve food based on the local cuisine but on very high standard? I don't really want to say Michelin star quality as some of the Michelin star restaurants were not very good. It needs to be very tasty, and at the same time very safe - my husband has a delicate stomach and we're travelling around. It does not have to be extremely formal, but we cant go to any holes in the wall this time, no matter how good they are. Thank you!

Thought this would make for an interesting debate. I'm looking for opinions on what the best 4-cylinder motor of all time is. Keep in mind availability, versatility, hp/l, power potential, torque curve, sturdiness, history, etc.
In defense of the Chevy motor, according to the Ariel Atom's build specs, the Ecotec has proven to have a vastly superior torque curve compared to the K20, which is why they started using that motor for their Atom instead.
Also, the 4G63 may include all generations (4, 6, 7 bolt, etc.)
If anyone has any other additions, I'll be glad to add them in if I think they're worthy. I know the H22 and B16 aren't included, as neither was as race-designed as the other Honda motors included.
wheres the poll?

90-92 Mitsubishi Eclipse/Eagle Talon/Plymouth Laser pre May 6 bolt 4g63 and 4g63t motor. More towards the 4g63t motor which produces more power of course then the N/A. I've owned both. The 6 bolt 4g63 lasted around 230,000+ miles and 4g63t 201,000 miles. Thats my experience with them. So they are stronge engines and can take a vast amount of abuse.

No love for the Ford 4cyl? They race the hell out of those old Pinto motors in the midgets. Then you can add the turbo 4cyl in the Cossies. Or the 2.5 in the new Focus..... The world isn't F&F you know.
I voted for the Subbie.
no toyota 4ag. too many honda picks.
4g63. Very few motors can boast such longevity, robust torque numbers, superior head design and the blocks are well known to be stout.
i picked sr just becuase im a fanboy.
Im a big fan of the Toyota 3TC engine. Its a 1.8L OHV 4-cyl. Seen them make shitloads of power and good torque. But I can tpick which one is the best.
well, since the F20 has the most HP/L of any N/A factory motor, and its in one of the best factory chassis that gets my vote, swap-ability is kinda subjective as you can swap anything, but not like a direct bolt-in, thats what i assume your talking about. type-Ris #3 world record holder for hp/l but i think the L15 from the fit should be mention simply because of the technology of it, and if it were bigger, i think would be a very respectable engine
The Truly Amazing Honda Fit/Jazz
F20C gets my vote, although i think the 4G63 is a very stout motor aswell...
where are the VW motors?
4G63 without a doubt. Yeah, there are all sorts of other 4 bangers, but none have the reputation of the 4G63. John Shepard, AMS, APR, and countless other people running the crap out of these little 2.0 engines with insane power, let alone for such a small engine...I'm worried that the Evo X wont have the same potential since it will be so vastly different.... DI, all aluminum, more MIVEC...yeah it'll be badass, but how far will we really be able to mod it and get crazy insane numbers again? I only hope the new turbo Lancer replacement is actually powered by 4G63...Mitsubishi knows the importance of the engine:
Lancer Evolution 4G63 final model Special Contents
ASE: Brakes
Yea..that very well could have been the most retarded idea I've ever heard, but .. do it anyway. -TheShow50h
No Doubt the 4g63 gets my vote.
-Induction Performance ALPHA Tuned.
-ROQUE MACHINE SHOP For ALL your fabrication needs.
not to start an argument but what does the availability of something have to to with it being the best ever?
What about the BMW M10?
The BMW M10/M12 was an I4 piston engine produced from 1961 to 1987. Displacement ranged from 1499 cm3 to 1990 cm3.
The engine was designed by Baron Alex von Falkenhausen, noted engineer and race driver. He was asked to design a small-displacement (1.3 L) engine, but felt that this would be insufficient for the company's future needs. Therefore, he designed a block that could be expanded to 2.0 L and delivered it at 1.5 L.
The design was very successful, with over 3.5 million produced, and it served the company for over 20 years.
The M10 engine is also one of the most successful engines in racing. Starting with the European Touring Car Championship, it was also used in Formula 2, then the Deutsche Rennsport Meisterschaft, were it was turbocharged by Paul Rosche according to FIA Group 5 rules.
The M10 block went on to Formula 1, winning the 1983 championship for Nelson Piquet and Brabham - something which very few 20 year old road car engine designs accomplish. The same applies for the rise in power, twenty-fold from 75 hp to about 1500 hp.
The BMW S14 engine for the first BMW M3 was based upon the M10 block. In the M3, the M10 is still winning races today.
Or the BMW S14?
The BMW S14 is a 2.3 L (2302cc) DOHC 16-valve I4 piston engine. It was used in the E30 M3. The S14 is essentially a BMW M10 engine block with a M88/S38 DOHC cylinder head (minus two cylinders). It has four separate throttle bodies. It developed 195 PS (143 kW/192 hp), or 200 PS (147 kW/197 hp) without a catalytic converter. A special tuned model, the S14 EVO producing 20 PS more. The 2.3 L version has a 93.4 mm bore and 84mm stroke.
Variations of this engine included a limited-edition 2.5 L (2467 cc) Sport Evo for motorsport homologation requirements, and a de-bored (89 mm) version for the 320is, a more affordable sports model made specifically for the Portuguese and Italian markets. The 320is can be quickly distinguished from the E30 M3 by the absence of flared wheel arches.

- Democracy for Hong Kong
Let Hong Kong become a democratic city!
A Brief Introduction:
We are Quarry Bay School students that are doing a Exhibition on Human Rights. Our topic is democracy for Hong Kong. We are thinking of taking action. We have decided to make a petition and get people to sign it. Afterwards, we will send the petition to the government so that the government might try to change Hong Kong's voting system. Thank You for your cooperation.
History Of Democracy:
The history of democracy traces back to Athens to its re-emergence and rise from the 7th century B.C. to the present day. According to one definition, democracy is a political system in which all the members of the society have an equal share of formal political power. In modern representative democracy, this formal equality is embodied primarily in the right to vote.
Although it is generally believed that the concepts of democracy and constitution were created in one particular place and time - identified as Ancient Athens circa 508 BCi - there is evidence to suggest that democratic forms of government, in a broad sense, may have existed in several areas of the world well before the turn of the 5th century.
Background Of Ancient Greece:
Athens was the first city state to allow ordinary citizens access to government offices and courts. In theory, all Athenian citizens were eligible to speak and vote in the Assembly which set the laws of the city-state. In reality, Athens was not a true democracy as women were not included nor were foreigners, slaves or freed slaves. Also, according to the rules of citizenship both parents must have been Athenian citizens for a person to qualify to take part in the Assembly. The democracy therefore, was only a very small minority of the people living in Athens. It was, however, the closest any country had come to establishing a democratic society at this time.
Definition Of Democracy:
Democracy means people-power or rule by the people. The idea came from the ancient Greeks who combined the words demos (people) and krates (rule) to create the term. The term was coined during a period in Greek history when the city of Athens experimented with a form of government in which all citizens, rather than one king or a small group of wealthy men, made the laws of their state.
What Is A Democracy:
Democracy is a system in which people decide matters as a group. The term is typically used in the context of a form of government in which all the citizens have a vote. The principles of democracy are also applicable to other bodies, such as universities, unions, companies or other organisations.
In a democratic government, the people's views influence the laws and decisions made by the government. The development of democracy can be traced back to ancient times, particularly to ancient Greece.
Democracy In Ancient Times:
Around 2500 years ago in Ancient Greece, the people of the city-state of Athens developed a way of making decisions that was different from the autocratic ways of the past. An autocratic system of government is a type of government where one person or small group make all the decisions on behalf of the people of the state. Citizens of the state have no say in influencing decisions.
Modern Democracy:
Democracy is still a modern issue in the world. For example, in Beijing, there was the Tiananmen Square incident where university students protested for democracy. Hong Kong has often tried to cause awareness to let the government know that Hong Kong residents wanted to rights to vote their chief executive, but for now, only a small, limited group of people and Beijing officals have the right to vote for Hong Kong's chief executive. Some people believe that Britain wanted Hong Kong to be a democractic city, some believe that Beijing just wants the right to control Hong Kong.

OK Star Trek fans: before you start yelling at us for saying "Warp speed, Mr. Scott" on today's show instead of Mr. Sulu, know this: we were referencing a specific clip. It was something we found while searching for sound of the starship warp drive. And while we decided ahead of airing the show that the usual guy to "engage"--at least on the earlier version--was indeed Hikaru Sulu, we figured, what the heck. Can you name what show/movie the clip we're referencing is from?
Either way, tomorrow marks 25 years since the debut of "Star Trek: NEXT Generation." And at this quarter-century mark there's been a couple of pieces of recent Star Trek inspired tech news.
Remember Dr. McCoy's Tricorder to diagnose ailments? The Qualcomm Foundation has announced a competition for researchers who come up with the best real Tricorder...a hand-held wireless device that monitors your health and figures out what's wrong with you. The foundation hopes to advance technology for wireless sensors, imaging, molecular biology, and artificial intelligence. The 10 million dollar X prize could be awarded in 2016.
Chances for a Star Trek-style, faster-than-light real warp drive for inter-galactic travel may be slightly better this month.That's after a NASA scientist proposed a warp drive that looks like a donut. The new shape, in theory, requires much less energy than earlier concepts."There is hope," for warp drive, said the scientist, Harold White. "Hope," of course, does not equal "feasible."

EL PASO, Texas — One of the most visible impacts of automatic federal budget cuts known as sequestration will start today.
Civilian employees at William Beaumont Army Medical Center, Fort Bliss and throughout the Department of Defense will begin taking one furlough day a week through Sept. 18.
About 11,000 civilian employees at Fort Bliss and Beaumont will be impacted. Worldwide, about 800,000 civilian Department of Defense employees will face furloughs.
Beginning this week, they will be forced to take one unpaid day off a week for the next 11 weeks.
That amounts to a 20 percent pay cut during the furlough period and a 4 percent pay cut if you factor in the entire year.
Cecilia Bejarano, a civilian nurse at Beaumont, said she supports a large extended family and is also going to school to become a registered nurse.
"It is a huge hardship for me and for a lot of other people," she said. "It's going to have a huge effect on a lot of people."
Col. Michael Heimall, commander of Beaumont, said during a recent news conference that the hospital will do everything in its power to maintain the quality of service its patients are used to receiving, but the furloughs will have an impact.
Patients will see longer wait times at pharmacy windows and for lab and X-ray services, Heimall said. Some patients will also be sent to local El Paso health-care providers for the services that they need, Heimall said.
"Furloughs begin (today)," Beaumont
spokesman Clarence Davis III said. "We expect to continue with all our patient care. There may be some longer waits as we go through the furlough process, but all patients will be taken care of."
Beaumont and the clinics it operates at Fort Bliss and White Sands Missile Range have about 4,000 total employees, about 2,300 of which are civilians. The rest are military and contractors.
Soldiers who work at Beaumont may have to take up some of the slack, Heimall said.
Furloughs will also be spread out over the workweek to minimize the impact on service, he added.
Beaumont has received more than 400 furlough exemptions that will be used to maintain critical operations like emergency services, inpatient wards, behavioral health services and the Warrior Transition Battalion, which cares for wounded, injured and sick soldiers at Fort Bliss, Heimall said.
"I apologize to all of you in advance and would ask for your understanding and empathy for our staff as they bear the brunt of these furloughs," Heimall said.
Heimall said the Beaumont staff "will not allow furloughs to compromise safe, quality health care that we currently provide to our patients.
"We will also not lose sight of the personal toll that this stressful situation is having on our civilian teammates," Heimall added.
Fort Bliss spokesman Maj. Joe Buccino echoed that furloughs will be staggered to try to minimize their impact on services and preparedness.
"Our civilian employees are an important part of the scene," Buccino said. "It would be a tough pay cut for any of us to take."
Civilian employees run facilities like fitness centers, swimming pools and the Army Community Service, which offers an array of support to soldiers and their families, Buccino said. Civilians even help plan soldier training and organize sporting events and special events at the installation, he added.
"In every facet of Fort Bliss, there is an element of the civilian workforce," he said.
Probably, the biggest impact most people will see will be at Beaumont and the medical clinics it runs at Fort Bliss and White Sands, Buccino said.
The Fort Bliss Commissary, one of the few commissaries in the military that has been open seven days a week, will be closed on Mondays, starting today, during the furlough period, Buccino said.
The bigger concern is that if sequestration continues into the next fiscal year, "we anticipate there will be a significant impact," Buccino said.
Already, the Army is facing a shortfall of money for training for units that are not going to Afghanistan, he said.
"People may not think that's a big deal if they are not going to Afghanistan," Buccino said. "You have to maintain your combat readiness, and it's something you have to continue to train on.
"If sequestration goes into the next fiscal year and you can't train, you could have a perfect storm where you have an emerging threat and have an unprepared force," he added.
El Paso Times reporter Aaron Martinez contributed to this story.

Sameplate.com: A New Site Matches Your Date With Your Food
Foodists, dieters and food allergy sufferers can now find dates through a medium that they care about -- dining. Sameplate.com, a new dating website, helps single people find romance through food, the one thing we all have in common. The first and only dating site in the U.S. that matches couples based on the food they eat or don't eat, as well as the diet they follow, Sameplate.com was launched in July 2012 by Jeff Nimoy, an Emmy-winning writer and producer.
Nimoy, who is on an organic food diet, said that he realized he needed to find a woman who has the same diet if he ever wanted to date again. It also occurred to him that sometimes different food preferences are the deal breakers in a relationship.
"Once you are eating together," Nimoy says, "The rest will take care of itself."
Nimoy wouldn't disclose the number of the current users on Sameplate.com, but he says that there are three times as many women using the site as men. His strategy is to target women to attract male users.
As a sports and comedy writer, the only experience with online dating that Nimoy had was being a member of one. Now he spends most of his spare time working with his programmers and designers, as well as confirming members and checking for spam. He hopes Sameplate.com will eventually grow into a global food networking site, with an emphasis on dating.

Thunder Waterfalls at Kapila Theertham - ABN
Tue, Nov 10, 2015, 09:07 PM
Kapilateertham is a place in Chittoor District where famous Kapileswara temple is located and this idol is said to be setup by famous Kapila Muni. The depression in Bay of Bengal is causing huge rains in Tamilnadu and southern Andhra Pradesh making the lakes and streams overflow and especially all the water reservoirs on Tirumala are filled much to the joy of devotees visiting this holy place. Watch thunder waterfalls at Kapila Theertham . . . . .
