Tennessee Pulled Pork Sandwich
Rate this Recipe
Serves 8 |
|1 28 oz. can whole tomatoes, lightly crushed, with juice
|1/2 cup plus more to taste white wine vinegar or cider vinegar
|2 Tbsp. plus more to taste honey
|2 tsp.plus more to taste Spanish smoked paprika
|1 6 to 8 lbs. pork picnic shoulder
|2 tsp.plus more to taste kosher salt
|1 tsp.plus more to taste pepper, freshly ground black
|2 Tbsp. canola oil
|1 medium yellow onion, trimmed, peeled,and quartered
|4 large plum tomatoes, cored
|8 brioche buns
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place the canned tomatoes, 6 tablespoons vinegar, honey, and paprika in a large Dutch oven. Bring ingredients to a simmer over medium-high heat. Place pork, skin side up, on a work surface. With a sharp knife, slice the skin from the shoulder with a light sawing motion, working back from the point diagonally across from the leg end where the skin forms a corner (to save time, ask your butcher to do this for you). Leave a thin layer of fat on the shoulder. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add oil to a 12 inch skillet and heat over high heat. When oil just begins to smoke, and shimmers, place the pork in the skillet, skin side down, and sear for about 3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Place the pork skin side down in the Dutch oven with the tomato braising liquid.
- Add onion and plum tomatoes to the skillet (not Dutch oven) and cook, turning every few minutes, until the skin of the tomatoes blacken and blister, and the onion is caramelized on all sides. Tuck the onion and tomatoes around the pork in the Dutch oven. Add remaining 2 tablespoons of vinegar to the skillet and stir with a wooden spoon, scraping any caramelized pork, onion, and tomato bits from the bottom. Pour over pork.
- Cover Dutch oven, transfer to the oven, and cook for 30 minutes. Baste the pork, then turn down the heat to 300F. Continue cooking, basting every 30 minutes, until the pork is very tender, about 2.5 hours. Remove pork from the oven, transfer to a cutting board with a gutter, and let rest for 10 minutes before carving. Season the sauce with additional vinegar, honey, paprika, salt, and pepper, to taste. Serve on brioche buns.

This Writer's On Fire: Amal El-Mohtar
This Writer's On Fire
Who She Is
I think there are at least two Amal El-Mohtar's. One lives in Ottawa, the other in Glasgow. There's also the fiction writer, the critic who writes reviews for NPR, The LA Times, and tor.com among many others, the editor for Goblin Fruit, the voice-over artist reading beauty into your ears, and the poet. Yes, these could all be the same person, but you can never be too sure. Especially with a writer like El-Mohtar who often writes about people whose identities are more liquid than solid; people doing and being fantastical things.
blog | twitter: @tithenai
Why You Should Read Her
Because she's telling truths. I know when I read an El-Mohtar review that I can trust her. The stories she loves, I will almost surely love. The things she finds problematic I take seriously. She's generous about the things she loves, but unafraid to point out the faults. In a world of so many hit-pieces and reviews that often feel like competitive sport, El-Mohtar stands out for her love and respect for the work, her honesty. I trust her.
And then there's her fiction. You should read her fiction because it is quite simply, magic. The kind of magic that builds slowly, a butterfly effect. Chaos magic. She starts with a refugee girl and some facts about owls and ends up with a hurricane-force story. There's a familiar outline, but El-Mohtar's stories follow their own fractal patterns, creating truly new worlds for her characters to inhabit, to explore and make. And new ways of thinking about what makes a person a person or an alien ocean a person or a person also an owl. Reading 'The Lonely Sea In The Sky' will change forever the way you think about identity, colonization, technology, personhood. El-Mohtar is taking on the hard stuff in the most beautiful ways imaginable.
She takes genre novels and stories seriously because she understands the power of these works to tell stories that can't be told in any other way. She's changing the way we read these books and who writes them. At a time when the mainly white male world of sf/f is changing even as small groups fight that change (See: Sad Puppies), El-Mohtar quietly shows us the glorious new worlds opened up to us all by new voices. And El-Mohtar's is a powerful voice in the growing chorus singing sf/f into a better world, a world that isn't championed and populated only by cis, straight, white, American and European men. It's a world and a future I want to be in, a beautiful, complex world with room for everyone, even alien oceans. Even me.

BENNINGTON, Vt. – The Southern Vermont College women's basketball team suffered defeat on its Senior Day Saturday afternoon—falling 66-45 to Newbury College in New England Collegiate Conference (NECC) play at the Mountaineer Athletic Center.
The Nighthawks used a big second quarter to bring a 37-18 lead to the intermission, and the visitors continued to pad their cushion in the third quarter to put it away.
The Mountaineers (5-15, 3-10 NECC) are back in action on Tuesday with a 7 p.m. home game against Lesley University while NC (8-12, 6-7 NECC) heads to Bay Path University the same night for an 8 p.m. start.
Before tip-off, Southern Vermont celebrated the outstanding two-year career of senior Maddy Main (Bennington, Vt.) who has etched herself into the program's record books in a short amount of time. She led SVC with 10 rebounds on the day while adding four points, two assists, and two blocks.
Mountaineer junior Di Smith (Troy, N.Y.) had 11 points and four boards in reserve time while classmate Sarah Poirier (Ferrisburgh, Vt.) tied her for the team-high with another 11 points in just 13 minutes off the bench.
Newbury sophomore Jaymesha Sanders (West Haven, Conn.) had game-bests of 21 points and 15 rebounds, and she also tallied three assists. Senior Savanah Olsen (Battle Creek, Mich.) went 4-6 from downtown to provide 15 points while classmate Taylor Kelley (North Billerica, Mass.) hit another four triples to total 14.
NC seized a 47-39 advantage in rebounds and outscored SVC 16-7 in second-chance points. The Nighthawks also had a 22-17 edge in points off turnovers while notching a 20-12 upper hand in the paint.
Newbury jumped out to a 10-0 lead with a pair of triples, but Southern Vermont got the last five points of the quarter to head into the second down 14-9. NC then went on a 16-0 run, however, to garner some breathing room before halftime; Sanders had eight of those points with three coming from downtown.
The Nighthawks pulled away in the third as they outscored SVC by 12—Kelley and Olsen both going 2-2 from beyond the arc. Poirier went 3-5 on 3-point attempts to notch all 11 of her points in the final frame, but it was not enough to overcome the sizable deficit.

text: Marc Coma Interview After Winning his 5th Desert Challenge Dave August 25, 2016 16:48 Follow Marc Coma talks to KTM Racing News after winning his fifth Desert challenge KTM's Marc Coma on Thursday won his fifth Desert Challenge in the shifting sands of the desert around Abu Dhabi. The win is marc's first competitive outing with the new KTM 450 Rally bike after sealing his third Dakar victory in January 2011 to complete 10 consecutive Dakar wins for the Austrian sports motorcycle specialist. KTM Racing News managed to catch up with Marc at the conclusion of the five day event in Abu Dhabi for some brief impressions of his days back in the sand. You have just won your fifth Desert Challenge. Share some thoughts with us about what it is like to be back on the bike and racing in the dunes. This is a good rally. It's a short one but it's really difficult because all the guys are in the dunes together. And the dunes are also very difficult. They are high dunes and the sand is soft and warm. These are really extreme conditions and you know this is my fifth victory here so it's special. I am very happy. How do you prepare for this short rally when you compare it to the much longer Dakar? It's completely different. Especially because now its two months after the Dakar and our condition is not at the best point. We know that the first days are difficult but then after that you have the rhythm and you can play a bit. You begin to understand the dunes. In any case the rally is only five days long and you have to be smart with the tactics because you can lose the race with only very small details Is there any additional pressure for you racing the world championships after winning your third Dakar: Yes, there is. It's very important that we are going in the right direction and we have to continue like this. I am happy because after winning the Dakar and now winning again, well that's good. We have to continue like that. But we must never forget that there is only one way to get to this point and that's by working, working and working. Congratulations, Marc and thanks for talking to us.

Gaining Ground
Text by Charlene Chan
Photography by Jovian Lim
Five years after their debut and two since their first standalone store in Singapore at ION Orchard, IN GOOD COMPANY (IGC) unveiled their latest outpost at Marina Bay Sands (MBS) in October this year. True to form, they opened their doors with little fanfare, preferring to let their work speak for themselves. These days, it's no longer just the Singaporean woman they dress—in addition to their growing brood here, they've continued to expand regionally, partners and friends in tow.
IGC's foray into MBS marks an entry into relatively uncharted territory. Up until now, the brand's key touchpoints have been located within Orchard Road; their newest outpost was an opportunity to go beyond that, and be showcased alongside the best of international brands. It's a fitting arrival for a brand on the cusp of something greater.
The new space, as with their clothing, reveals IGC's penchant for quiet detailing. A play on texture and material dominates throughout, bringing nuance to a largely muted colour palette. Entering the store, for instance, takes one past a gently curving wall, individual slabs of Terrazzo lined up as if in welcome. Across the shop floor, chevron-patterned tiles fan outward, subtle and dignified. Clothes hang from racks of clean white or a deep navy, next to necklaces displayed on light wooden shelves.
An exception to the understated colours of the store stands toward the centre of the space. Here, a collection of plinths are marked for the riot of colour they add: some have been made in textured metal; others are built out of copper, with matching accessory stands to go along. Yet others have been fashioned out of dichroic glass, their colours changing under various lighting conditions. These hold smaller accessories and products, including lifestyle objects created in collaboration with fellow creatives.

There's nothing like a crisis to focus the mind. At Ahold, a Dutch retailer, the crisis came after it nearly went up in flames along with Parmalat, Enron and other scandal-ridden companies earlier in the decade. Interviewed by CFO Europe three years ago, Hannu Ryöppönen, Ahold's CFO at the time, recalled the struggle of bringing the company back from the brink after years of reckless, acquisition-fuelled growth. With its balance sheet — and reputation — now restored, we got back in touch with Ahold, speaking to its new CFO, Kimberly Ross, in "Back to Basics." What's particularly striking is her emphasis on focus — a word she used frequently — which has left Ahold half the size, but with twice the profits, and arguably in better shape than ever as it pursues a smarter, sustainable growth path.
There is also a strong emphasis on focus among CFOs in "Stress Test." As the first anniversary of the subprime-mortgage meltdown approaches, we catch up with CFOs of European property companies to find out how they're dealing with the fallout. Given the steady stream of grim news over the past year, it's surprising that the CFOs we interviewed are so upbeat about their companies' ability to ride out the downturn. Although demand for new property development is dipping and banks are now reluctant to lend to the sector, CFOs say they have prepared their companies for the downturn, making sure balance sheets are flexible and property portfolios aren't as overstretched and vulnerable as they were before the last big boom and bust nearly 20 years ago, when easy credit and undisciplined growth led to loan defaults, forced sales and countless bankruptcies.
These lessons, of course, are not confined to retailing and property. Companies in all sectors are spurred by shareholders, competitiors and other forces to chase new, and often highly risky, growth opportunities. During uncertain economic conditions, however, many of these growth strategies can come unstuck. CFOs who have first-hand experience of this, including those profiled in this issue, have three pieces of advice for their peers: focus, focus, focus.

This comment was said to a family member as they assured them they will stay with them. There's a beautiful fact of teamwork, of not leaving them alone, of not walking away from the very hard work of waiting until death separates the active relationship here on earth.
Can you imagine always knowing your support person, team, will be right beside you as you go through the end-of-life?! Just having those trusted people near and making some sort of normalcy in a very tough time in life is crucial.
Kudos to those folks who stand beside and behind the scenes…

Life/Health Insurance
Personal Health, Life, and Disability Policies
Your decision regarding life and health insurance could be the most important personal choice you make for yourself and your family. Operating on your behalf, your agent must be knowledgeable about the spectrum of policies available in order to present an optimal plan for you.
As an independent agency with decades of knowledge and access to a world of options, we find the plan that delivers the protection you require and the value you deserve. We also help you understand the considerations that are critical regarding the type of insurance:
Life Insurance provides a vital death benefit that protects beneficiaries, such as in financing children's education, replacing needed income, and eliminating a mortgage or debt.
Health Insurance choices can be extremely confusing in light of numerous variables, including Medicare programs (like Medigap policies and Medicare Advantage Plans), Health Insurance Plans, and Healthcare Reform.
Disability Insurance provides a paycheck in the event of an illness or injury which prevents you from working.
Long Term Care Insurance is available to assist people who find themselves in need of help with eating, bathing, dressing, toileting or continence, and/or transferring (e.g., getting out of a chair or out of bed) because of old age, mental or physical illness or injury. These six actions are called Activities of Daily Living–sometimes referred to as ADLs. In general, if you can't do two or more of these activities, or if you have a cognitive impairment, you are said to need "long-term care."
Long-term care isn't a very helpful name for this type of situation because, for one thing, it might not last for a long time. Some people who need ADL services might need them only for a few months or less.
Many people think that long-term care is provided exclusively in a nursing home. It can be, but it can also be provided in an adult day care center, an assisted living facility, or at home.
Contact us for all of your health, life and disability insurance coverage questions and learn how we can help you find the right product for you and your family.

Incorrect Postures to Avoid in Mind-Body Workouts
Think of Barbie Doll and Neanderthal as visual ways to describe two typical incorrect postures. These names were dreamed up by Cathleen Murakami, Pilates instructor and owner of Synergy Systems Studio in Encinitas, California. They are a great visual for proper posture in mind-body workouts.
You're practicing Barbie Doll posture if your chest is puffed out, your back is swayed, and your buttocks are sticking out behind you. That usually goes along with shoulder blades pulled back too far. High heels can contribute to this posture, and standing and walking in this position can put pressure on your lower back and tighten the front of your hips.
You're practicing your best Neanderthal if your chest is caved in, shoulders rounded forward, and buttocks tucked under you. That usually goes along with your head poking forward in front of your chest. This posture can flatten out the curves in your lower back, making it more susceptible to impact injuries.
Follow the steps below to help you get to the right place eventually.
Rock your buttocks back to create a big curve in your back.
You may likely stick out your chest to compensate for the weight shift, kind of like Murakami's Barbie Doll posture.
Tip your belly forward and try to tuck your buttocks underneath you.
You may sink your chest to compensate for this move, much like Murakami's Neanderthal posture.
Rock back and forth between these two exaggerated positions, allowing your shoulders to move in response, but not focusing on their action or making it any larger than required by the pelvis shift. Slowly lessen the swing until you find yourself coming to rest sort of in the middle to a neutral position that doesn't over-curve or -flatten anywhere.
Test your position.
Place your hands palm down on your belly, with the base of your palms on your hip bones, your thumbs reaching inward, and your fingers pointing toward your pubic bone.
Your hands should be perpendicular to the ground. If your fingers are farther ahead of your thumbs, your hips need to tip backward a bit more. If your thumbs are farther forward than your fingers, you need to tighten up your abs and pull under a bit more.
When you find what seems to be neutral, take away your hands and see how this feels.
Are you feeling forced to bend your knees or do you feel as if you are straining to stay in position? If so, you need to work on your leg and hip flexibility to help you along. You may also need to work on low back or front-of-hip flexibility to help you stay there, too.
You can experiment with this neutral spine position anywhere: sitting in a car, walking through the grocery store, or standing in line at the bank. Just working into it can help you stretch and strengthen a little. You'll feel taller and statelier to boot!
Instructors of Yoga, as well as of the Chinese mind-body practices of Tai Chi Chuan and Qigong, not only don't talk about neutral spine, they actually instruct you to "just be."
They don't want you to pull in your abdominal muscles or worry whether your shoulder blades are sliding down on your back to open your chest. But, if you practice these methods, you do find that your posture gets taller and your abs get stronger just from the practice and muscle use.

Yes on 64, NO on 67: Pot & Personhood in Colorado
Share this with your friends
You made history voting Yes on 64 in 2012. Here's why you should vote No on 67 in 2014.
Colorado voters made headlines at the polls two years ago when the passage of ballot initiative Amendment 64 made recreational marijuana legal for adults over the age of 21. The vote heralded a new era in cannabis law reform, and was an important step towards rectifying the profound damage created by marijuana prohibition.
Although there's no drug policy initiative on this year's ballot, supporters of legalization must turn out to vote down a proposal threatening to undo the progress we've made. 2014's "personhood" initiative, Amendment 67, has far-reaching consequences for those of us who care about ending cannabis prohibition.
What does an amendment seemingly about abortion have to do with marijuana, you ask? For years, abortion prohibitionists have mounted a campaign to establish legal rights for fertilized eggs, embryos, and fetuses, and they've done it by advocating for the arrests and prosecutions of pregnant women and new mothers who use controlled substances, including cannabis.
By characterizing fertilized eggs, embryos, and fetuses as "children" in need of protection from their own mothers, prosecutors around the country have argued (with troubling success) that child abuse, assault, and even homicide laws permit the state to arrest and incarcerate women who give birth to babies who test positive for drugs, masking this as an interest in "protecting" the unborn. We've seen the damage that such changes have wrought in other states.
For example, Alabama's felony "chemical endangerment of a child" statute has been interpreted to apply to pregnant women in relation to their own pregnancies from the moment of conception. It has resulted in the arrest and prosecution of more than 130 women. In 20% of known cases, the only drug to which the fetus was exposed was marijuana—yet court documents refer to these as cases involving "torture of a child."
Despite the fact that prenatal marijuana exposure has not been specifically linked to negative pregnancy outcomes or problems at birth and is generally less harmful than cigarettes, widespread unsubstantiated assumptions and stigma have fueled punitive responses in both the criminal justice and child welfare systems. In the civil child welfare context, some health care providers erroneously believe that child abuse and neglect reporting laws require doctors to test newborns at birth and report any positive result to the authorities.
Although Amendment 64 did "legalize" cannabis use for adults in Colorado, its impact on the child welfare system falls into a legal grey area that leaves parenting and pregnant cannabis users at risk for civil abuse and neglect findings, and even loss of custody. Activists and organizations like National Advocates for Pregnant Women, Drug Policy Alliance, Colorado-based Elephant Circle, and my own organization, Family Law & Cannabis Alliance, are working to reform this two-tiered system that still allows for the punishment of some marijuana users even in states like Colorado and Washington, but Amendment 67 would deal a tremendous blow to those efforts. It would also, unquestionably, open the door to criminal prosecutions of women who become pregnant and use any amount of cannabis.
If passed, Amendment 67 would alter Colorado's Criminal Code to provide that every crime against a "person" or "child" covers the unborn. Beyond transforming abortion into first-degree murder, this change would allow prosecutors to bring reckless endangerment charges against someone who "creates a substantial risk of serious bodily injury" to a fetus, including the woman carrying the pregnancy. Because a fetus would be a "child," new moms who used cannabis during pregnancy could be charged with felony child abuse for "permit[ting] a child to be placed in a situation that poses a threat of injury." The risk of investigation by Child Protective Services is bad enough for families, but Amendment 67 would magnify that risk, subjecting pregnant women and new mothers to criminal penalties like those seen in Alabama.
The legalization era is upon us, but we still live in an age of selective prosecution and unequal enforcement of the laws. Those of us who believe that pregnant and parenting people are no less deserving of their civil rights than anyone else, who want to keep Colorado families intact and know that prohibition, in the long run, is bound to fail, must take a stand this Tuesday in Colorado and vote No on Amendment 67.

brimfield 2010: my favorite finds
on monday i'm going to walk you through some of the trends we saw at brimfield this year (some expected, some not) along with some tips from our favorite people we saw at the show, but first i wanted to share an edited selection of my favorite finds from the show. they didn't really fit into a trend roundup, so i thought i'd share them instead so you can see how i viewed the show, and which pieces made me stop, smile, and take a picture. oh man, if i'd had a few extra (hundred) dollars in my pocket, i would have picked up so many of these. one day…until then, here are 25 of my favorite pieces from the show (ranging from weather vanes and terrariums to vintage scrolls and binoculars)! i hope you'll enjoy this little dose of eye candy as much as i did earlier this week. [images above: vintage thread spools, amy in my favorite raccoon mask, vintage shoe stretchers, a set of thonet chairs (painted yellow), vintage wooden spools, i wanted this cast iron rabbit so badly]
[image above: i'm still kicking myself for not getting one of these gorgeous french cafe chairs. man, i should have gotten one.]
[image above: these antique scrolls were so beautiful and dramatic]
[image above: except for the price tag, this was all but mine. but the $1k+ cost was a little (ok, a lot) out of my range]
[image above: i'd never seen this type of blue enamel jewelry before- this locket was so beautiful]
[image above: the swivel locket in the middle was my favorite- one side was a cameo and one said was a stamped date for a class ring! that totally beats the class rings my high school was offering]
[image above: i'm not sure if this was actually a shower head, but i wish it was mine. how gorgeous would this be for an outdoor shower?]
[image above: these guys seemed happy to meet our traveling group of girls]
CLICK HERE for 18 more of my favorite brimfield finds after the jump!
[images above: i wish i had a backyard for all the vintage gates i kept seeing. they were so beautiful. they'd also work on the inside of a home, hanging on the wall, if you're lucky enough to have a wall that big. or perhaps as a striking headboard?]
[images above: spool tables are always a favorite- and these two were too cute to pass up]
[image above: i grew up with an aunt and uncle who owned a beautiful home in martha's vineyard. it used to have a weather vane on top and whenever i see a nautical-themed weather vane i remember family vacations and the long drive up from virginia. the house is gone and our family is in edenton, nc now, but weather vanes always make me remember summer trips to edgartown]
[image above: this was the vintage linen shop where i bought my pillowcase. i could have stayed in this booth ALL DAY. giant comfy pillows and beautiful stitching? what's not to love?]
[image above: i love these canopy chairs and always associate them with kelly wearstler's design for the BG restaurant. so chic]
[image above: if i ever decide to start a dessert blog, i know what name i'll be using.]
[image above: speaking of dessert, these tall ice cream cones were so playful. and the garden center in front of it? i. want. one.]
[image above: i'm pretty sure these planters were made from old propane tanks- but they were so cute!]
[image above: i'm not sure what this caged roll-top piece was originally used for, but it was gorgeous]
[image above: i almost bought one of thee pretty state maps- i loved the detailing at the top]
[image above: garden stands are a constant favorite of mine- this one on the left would be so pretty on a small garden patio.]
[image above: amy and i kept spotting beautiful riding boots around the show- too bad they were all men's sizes. drats.]
[image above: i wanted these antique binoculars but couldn't think of a reason i really needed them. double drats.]
[image above: jenny lind bed! jenny lind bed! if i wasn't married i'd be sleeping in one of these right now. but they're not really the sort of thing that screams comfort to ac. understandably, but i'll always want one of these. hope our first child enjoys his/hers]
[image above: this antique backgammon set was stunning.]
[image above: these arm lights attached to wooden blocks were so beautiful. i wish i had a great big desk that would work with this]

De Montfort University accommodation
De Montfort University is the educational home of around 22,000 students at any one time, and our student accommodation in Leicester places you right at the heart of all of the action!
General information
De Montfort University (or DMU) in Leicester is the educational home of around 22,000 students at any one time. A lot of universities can claim to lie at the heart of everything, but at DMU it's nothing but the truth. The city of Leicester is based in the middle of England, with close links to all of the notable cities that you might imagine. The city itself is its own vibrant and multicultural hub which has truly come into its own in recent years.
The University has origins all the way back in the late 1800s, although it's only been DMU as we know it today since 1992. Despite its relative youth in this guise, it's got some impressive experience under its belt.
DMU offers the perfect combination of award-winning teaching from its 2700 strong staff and absolute world-class facilities. They are leaders in so much of what they do, and have come far in their journey. As the 'most improved' University in Britain, they offer some of the best chances of graduate employment to those who attend in the whole country. The research being conducted there is exemplary and even life changing.
In actual fact, some of their courses even rival those at Cambridge University – so you just know the quality is high!
Cultural diversity is celebrated across Leicester and this extends to DMU. International students are welcomed with open arms, and currently there are around 2,700 of them from around 127 countries.
The University is distinct, supportive and challenging, offering students a head start in life. At Liberty Living we share these same core values and our De Montfort University accommodation reflects this through and through. When you stay with us in our DMU accommodation, the transition to University life will be as smooth as possible – and we hope it'll be exciting, too.

The £8 million QEII Leisure Centre has a 25-metre, six-lane swimming pool, eight-court sports hall, climbing wall, fitness suite and dance studio. Of course, we know that not everybody wants to be so private about their sport, which is why there are loads of teams and clubs you can sign up to as well.
If you're just really not feeling the whole sports thing or you just want to get away from it all, De Montfort Students' Union offers the full blown student experience. There are around 100 teams and societies of the sporting variety and plenty more, so you'll be bound to find new friends to click with that share your interests. It's at the heart of the Campus Centre so it's the perfect place to meet for a drink (or two…). You can even stay on to party at the award-winning venue: Level 1.

The standards chosen for the Codes reflect a balance of common sense obligations and responsibilities between landlords and tenants. They also reflect established best practice in the sector and are based on what an average student and their parents would expect of a good quality housing supplier. The standards are supported by the voice of students themselves through the National Union of Students.
What does being a member of the codes mean?
- Both parties can enjoy the benefits of good standards of housing management and practice.
- Misunderstandings and disputes are reduced.
- If problems do occur they can be promptly resolved.

The Royal Burgh of Brechin is situated in Angus, to the North of the River Esk and just a little distance from the Scottish North East coastline. Around 9 miles directly West from Montrose, Brechin is sometimes referred to as a city as it does have its own cathedral.
What's Brechin Like?
Brechin is within easy travelling distance of Dundee, St Andrews, Forfar, Aberdeen and Arbroath. The town boasts some interesting buildings, for example the Victorian railway station and the Mechanics Institute.
Brechin is a delightful place to visit, with interesting shopping streets and picturesque views of the River Esk.
What to do in Brechin
Brechin's Victorian railway station is the proud home of the Caledonian Railway which gives the visitor the chance to ride on steam engine between Brechin and the Bridge of Dun.
In addition to the cathedral, which displays some gorgeous examples of stained glass, Brechin is also home to a very rare type of 11th century tower. Now part of the cathedral, this unusual round tower is built in an Irish style with a deeply inset arched doorway, reminding the visitor of the fairytale Rapunzel's tower!
Many records indicate that Brechin was one home of the Picts, and the Pictavia visitor attraction at Brechin Castle will give you a taste of this with its carved stones, interactive exhibits and displays, adventure playground and much more. The castle itself overlooks the Esk and is mainly 18th century built though there has been a castle or building on that spot since the 12th century. For those interested in prehistory, there are a number of sites within easy travelling distance of Brechin, the nearest of which are the sculptured stones near Aberlemno. And you don't have to travel far for other visitor attractions – Maison Dieu is a nearby ruined chapel, Edzell Castle and Gardens are just a little further North, and there's also a town history museum at the Town House.
How to get to Brechin
Brechin's is accessible for travellers to the North East of Scotland, being directly positioned on the A90, North of Forfar and en- route to Aberdeen, which is an hour's-drive away. Travelling just a little further South, to Perth, will connect the traveller with the M90 and the UK's main motorway network.
Where to stay in Brechin
We are proud to offer the visitor to the North East of Scotland some wonderful locations from which to base their stay. From regal apartments to stunning hotels and attractive cottages, this area offers much for the visitor, whether they are taking a family holiday, or as part of a wider tour of the North East. Do check out our listings below for more information.

I am a Christian and I stand with my Hindu, Buddhist and Jain friends today at Parliament House to protest against the Meat & Livestock Australia ad for lamb.
Let me say, I do like lamb.
And in many ways I do like the ad for lamb.
I like the idea of spiritual icons from different traditions sharing a meal together.
And I also like the quirky comic back-and-forth banter going on around the table.
L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of Scientology, saying that he gave up a meal with Tom Cruise, a high-profile Scientology member, to attend the gathering is wry.
And Jesus performing a "reverse miracle", turning wine into water, so Greek Goddess Aphrodite, a "designated driver", can safely drive home, is a nice touch.
But, as the Buddha says in the ad, "let's address the elephant in the room" – the presence of Ganesh, the beloved Elephant-headed Indian God of Good Fortune.
I really don't like the way the ad employs a prominent Hindu deity, like Ganesh, to promote eating flesh, when many if not most Hindus, Buddhists and Jains have a long, strong, sacred tradition of practicing ahimsa and not eating meat at all!
The group marketing manager at Meat & Livestock Australia, Andrew Howie, displays gobsmacking ignorance and blatant disregard for the sensitivities for more than a billion of our Hindu, Buddhist and Jain neighbours, when he says: "In this latest campaign we are showing no matter your beliefs, background or persuasion, the one thing we can all come together and unite over is lamb."
This is as outrageous as saying Christian countries, like Australia, the UK and the US, should join in a crusade against Muslims countries like Iraq and Afghanistan in the name of the nonviolent Jesus who said don't kill but "love your neighbour".
I stand in solidarity with my Hindu, Buddhist and Jain friends today, as I know only too well, the terrible anguish I feel in my heart when a religion that is dear to my heart is cynically used to promote the opposite of what I believe for profit.

Beaches in Phang Nga, Thailand
Beautiful Beaches in Phang Nga
- Khao Lak Beach
- Natai Beach
- Mueang Beach
- Bang Niang Beach
- Khuk Khak Beach
- Pakarang Beach
- Pak Weeb Beach
- Bangsak Beach
- Ao Chong Khad Beach
- Ao Mai Ngam
- Ao Pakkhad Beach
- Ao Tao Beach
- Sunset Beach
- Bang Lut Beach
- Nang Thong Beach
The quiet, white sand beaches of Phang Nga invite guests to relax and take in the beautiful scenery. Easily accessible from the highway, Phang Nga holds the charm and serenity of Thailand by bringing visitors to quiet and picturesque beach towns. With a variety of active beaches, offering swimming, snorkeling, restaurants, shopping, boating, and tours, to isolated and quiet beaches for relaxing and long walks in the sand, Phang Nga has something for every interest.
Khao Lak Beach is an excellent sandy beach, perfect for swimming. With interesting rocks of all shapes and sizes, majestic pine trees, and outstanding coconut groves, this beach offers a sense of tranquility and relaxation. Across from the beach is the Chaopho Khao Lak Shrine, an important shrine to locals.
Natai Beach, a clean, quiet, and unspoiled beach, is perfect for relaxing and activity. The waves are moderate and provide a gentle backdrop for scenic photography. Take a walk along the fine sandy shores, or walk to the pier. With amazing sunsets enjoyed by tourists and locals alike, it is an ideal spot for packing a picnic and soaking in a carefree evening.
Thai Mueang Beach offers clear waters nestled against a white sandy beach. Near the Tableau Naval Base, the beach is sloping and backs up to fine forests and mangroves. This beach runs parallel to the highway to allow for easy access. From November to February each year, sea turtles arrive to lay their eggs on the beach. In March, the sea turtles hatch and the local area hosts its annual "Sea Turtle Releasing Festival". This is an up close look at nature as the baby turtles begin to make their way to the sea.
Bang Niang Beach is an excellent choice for couples and families with young children. The water is shallow and calm, with excellent swimming conditions at any time of day. The sand is fine and free from rocks, which makes it perfect for a barefoot walk or a run through the sand. Collect and hunt for sea shells, which can be found after high tide. Although the tide makes the water a bit more cloudy than at some beaches due to the sediment, the water is still clean and beautiful. Tours and outings can be arranged from vendors at this area. Bars, restaurants, and local shops are plentiful and an inviting way to spend the day.
Khuk Khak Beach is a lively beach lined with resorts. With clear water, this beach extends for miles. It is situated near a small fishing village, and in the evening, you can watch for the fishermen as they prepare for their evening of fishing. A market and bus station, as well as a few local eateries and shops dot the area.
Unique sites await at Pakarang Beach, also known as Coral Beach, visitors during the rainy season will see the dead coral wash up onto the shores. The waves can be moderate to choppy on this beach at times. Local cuisine can be sampled at the restaurants close to this beach. As an interesting excursion to your beach day, you can explore a shipwreck in Laim Pakarang, which is in close proximity to the beach.
Pak Weeb Beach enjoys one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline. Close to Cape Pakarang, Pak Weeb Beach has warm and inviting water and gentle waves, perfect for swimming and water sports throughout the year. Locals operate seasonal restaurants and small shops near the beach. Spend the day playing at the beach, then take in the scenery and nature on a stroll to the Pak Weeb waterfall and Baan Pak Weeb Monastery.
Bangsak Beach is a quiet and beautiful beach oasis. With fine sand and shaded restaurants, this beach is an ideal place to watch the sunset. The waves are excellent for bodysurfing.
Ao Chong Khad Beach is part of the Chong Khad Channel, near the national park headquarters. It lies between North Surin Island and South Surin Island. The water is shallow, but with high currents, and quickly rising tides.
Ao Mai Ngam can be reached by hiking through the jungle or by taking a small boat to the northwest coast of North Surin Island. This scenic beach, with typically calm and tranquil waters, offers an opportunity to wade out to view the coral during low tides.
For snorkeling, visit the Ao Pakkhad Beach. Pakkhad coral covers over the entire area of the bay, and is home to the largest variety of butterfly fish in all of Thailand. Look for the leopard sharks and sinsamutr fish that are also found in this area.

"The Flintstones" premiered on Friday, Sept. 30, 1960 in prime-time on ABC. Curiously, the initial advertising featured Barney Rubble and Dino, the latter of whom appeared only intermittently in the series (though a regular in the intro). Perhaps it was because Barney was voiced by Mel Blanc, who was pretty well known even in those days.
Alan Reed and Jean Vander were the original voices of Fred and Wilma Flintstone. Both were virtually unknown then - and, to be truthful, afterwards as well. Reed played perhaps the worst extortionist of all time in the original "The Postman Always Rings Twice" in 1946, and after that he didn't get anything else that was high profile. He personally invented the "Yabba Dabba Do!" catchphrase, it was not something someone else put in a script or suggested to him. That was something a good voice guy would do in those days, and he was working with the best: Mel Blanc. Absolutely nobody went around saying, "Wow, what a great voice actor that Alan Reed is as Fred Flintstone," but he was terrific.
Instead, you would occasionally hear someone say, "Yeah, the guy who is Fred used to do some acting" and then, even if they mentioned his name, you would immediately forget it. They also might mention while discussing some other role that Blanc voiced Barney, but that was never the point of mentioning him. That is how it was. I never once heard or remembered the name of the actress who voiced Wilma or the name of the guy who voiced Barney (in that context), and wouldn't know the names today without looking them up, but you know what? They were the most famous actors in the whole production. Betty was voiced by the wonderful Bea Benaderet, and Barney was the immortal talent, towering giant among voice men... Mel Blanc.
|Alan and Jean
The Flintstones was sponsored by a cigarette company during the show's first two seasons, which was extremely common in those days. The show was intended for adults, not kids, so few complained about the commercials that depicted the stone-age characters puffing away on Winstons. Times were different, the commercials made them look like they were getting high, but nobody noticed that, either.
|Enjoying a smoking break during the show's first two years
The Flintstones first telecast was on September 30, 1960, and the last Telecast was on April 1, 1966. However, that was not the end of The Flintstones, not by a long shot.
Flintstones vitamins were the vitamins of choice for kids in the '60s through the '80s. If you were going to take vitamins, at least they could be Flintstones vitamins. In fact, "Flintstones vitamins" became practically a synonym for kids' vitamins, like "Xerox" became the verb for copying paperwork or "Kleenex" became the noun for paper hankies. They are still very much around today. "Make sure they have their Flintstones!"
The Flintstones featured Fred, Wilma, Barney and Betty. The babies, Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm, weren't introduced until 1963 — Pebbles early in the year, Bamm-Bamm later on because Pebbles needed a friend to interact with. Pebbles made the Social Security Administration's baby name list that year, and it continued afterwards, too:
1967: 13 baby girls named Pebbles
1966: 6 baby girls named Pebbles
1965: 14 baby girls named Pebbles
1964: 31 baby girls named Pebbles
1963: 31 baby girls named Pebbles [debut]
1962: unlisted
And, incredibly, Pebbles has remained on the list every year since.
There was renewed interest in the Pebbles name during the early/mid 1970s (Pebbles cereals were introduced in 1971) and the late 1980s/early 1990s (singer Perri "Pebbles" Reid had a few hit singles during this period).
Bamm-Bamm has never made the list, but Bam has popped up recently thanks to the influence of Jackass star Brandon "Bam" Margera. Bamm-Bamm's catchphrase, of course, was "Bamm-Bamm" as he pounded his club. It was never explained why a baby would have a club.
If they ever did a survey on how many dogs were named "Pebbles" or "Bamm-Bamm," I guarantee that the numbers would shoot through the roof.
"The Flintstones," as noted, originally were intended for adult audiences wanting to see their dull lives in post-war suburbia lampooned. However, in syndication the emphasis turned 180 degrees to children. By the '70s, "The Flintstones" were on saturday morning cartoons along with lots of now-forgotten shows.
Pictured on the below cover: "The Barkleys" ("All in the Family" with dogs), "Sabrina," "The Flintstones," "Pufenstuf," "Pink Panther," "Jackson 5," "Mission: Magic" (featuring Rick Springfield and a witchy teacher).
The Flintstones has been on and off the air since. For instance, Alan Reed voiced the character in "The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show" in the early '70s and also in other revivals that decade. Reed passed away after an extended illness in 1977 while voicing Fred one last time for "Fred Flintstone and Friends." He was replaced by Henry Corden. While that series soon ended, Corden became "the" voice of Fred and was in numerous Flintstones projects in the '80s and '90s.
A Flintstones Viewmaster screenshot.
Flintstones ad in the papers during the '60s for the show "in color." The print advertisements still featured the Rubbles for some reason.
Once Gazoo showed up, it was all over. He was one of the most pointless and annoying characters ever brought in to ruin a show.
One last look at Alan and Jean, quite possibly the most unknown but most-revered actors of all time. It's difficult to pull that off, I bet Alan and Jean could walk through any major town in the world and nobody would look twice at them - until, perhaps, they said something.

Guglie is on the Cannaregio Canal, just above the Grand Canal and north of the Ponte delle Guglie bridge. It's close to the Venetian Ghetto and within walking distance of the Venezia Santa Lucia Railroad Station.
The Guglie boat stop is served by:
ACTV Lines 4.1, 4.2, 5.1. 5.2 public water buses
Alilaguna Linea Arancio airport boats
Boats headed in both directions stop at Guglie's single pontile or pier, so know which way you need to go before boarding a waterbus.
Note: This station does not have a ticket booth or vending machine, so here's what to do if you need to board a water bus without a valid ticket or Tourist Travel Card.

Weather: The coldest month has gone, but there are sharp rises and falls of temperature at intervals. Sometimes it is gloomy, but it is still pleasant when the sun is out. On the cold days, the wind and damp adds to the chill. There is usually no heating in most places except the top hotels and the cruise ships, and this makes it feel doubly chilly on those days.
The average daily low and high temperatures are respectively 13 °C (55 °F) and 7 °C (45 °F). There is about 98 mm of total rainfall each month, and though it rains most of the days of the month, it is one of the driest months of the year.
Clothing: Generally a thick coat or a thick sweater and an umbrella are enough to cope with the weather.
Although Guilin is in the cold tail end of winter in February, there are quite a few places which are warm and comfortable for sightseeing compared to outside, such as the natural karst caves.
Inside these caves, there are limestone formations of all shapes. Lit with colorful lights, they look like natural palaces. The most frequented caves include Reed Flute Cave, Seven Star Cave, and Crown Cave.
Longsheng is another good place to go. There are five-star hotels at the hot springs site, and you can also find more economical ones to suit you. During the Spring Festival, the hotels might be fully booked, so try to reserve one in advance.
Drizzles and fog might make the scenery of the Li River enchanting, but the water level is low. Cruises still operate, and they provide a nice lunch and a warm cabin.
The Spring Festival usually falls in February, and it's a good time to experience authentic Chinese culture and cultural activities in the biggest Chinese holiday season. Explosions and colorful fireworks all around at mid-night of the Eve are a memorable experience. You can have fun with fireworks, try the holiday food, buy souvenirs, and experience the customs.
You may find the city of Guilin empty, because a large percentage of the city's workers go home for a traditional reunion on Chinese New Year's Eve, departing on Chinese New Year's Eve or shortly before.
However Yangshuo particularly can be crowded, usually with traffic jams in the town and roads to major attractions, especially if it is a warm New Year holiday. Attractions and main streets are colorfully decorated for the New Year, e.g. with hanging red lanterns.
Winter (November to March) is the low travel season, and traveling to Guilin is easier, and it is cheaper than usual. However, the Chinese New Year period is the busiest travel time all over the country.
During that two week period, expect high rates for hotel rooms and greater difficulty obtaining flight and train tickets. An easier way to go is to let us help you get your rooms and tickets and even give you discounts.

Rocky Hill's new intermediate school cleared another hurdle Wednesday night when the planning and zoning commission unanimously approved a site plan for the 79,150-square-foot school, whose construction was necessitated by overcrowding at elementary schools.
A presentation by the architecture firm Kaestle Boos ranged from details as minute as fencing material — vinyl — to a grand vision for the school: a "village concept," said Luke McCoy, landscape architect for Kaestle Boos.
"The big concept, the big idea, is a village concept," McCoy told the commission Wednesday night. "It's a big building, but we want to break it into smaller-scale pieces."
Rocky Hill was prompted to build a new school by an enrollment surge that crested in 2016, when West Hill Elementary's population increased to 731 from 609 in two years.
That year, a commission appointed by the town council reported that "overcrowding will continue to remain a significant problem in the foreseeable future" for the district, because the vast majority of the 187-student increase in overall enrollment from 2014 to 2016 came from pre-kindergarten through fifth grade. Enrollment for that span alone was expected to grow by 253 students through 2019, the commission said.
Last November, voters approved a $48 million project to build an intermediate school for fourth- and fifth-graders on the site of the former Moser Elementary School, which was closed in 2011. The town's two elementary schools — West Hill and Stevens — would be converted to K-3 schools when the intermediate school opens in the fall of 2019, according to the building commission's estimates.
The school will have space for 582 students, according to preliminary designs, and include laboratory science classrooms, a gymnasium, cafeteria and baseball and soccer fields.
The commission hopes to break ground on the project in March; on Wednesday, architects told planning and zoning officials that the demolition of the old Moser school had started that morning.
Kaestle Boos' presentation Wednesday night delved into the nuts and bolts of the school's anatomy: drainage systems, backup generators, building materials. Project manager Enrico Chiarillo Jr. passed around hunks of brick and cast stone for commissioners to heft.
"We're getting close. That's why we're here," McCoy, the architect, said. "We're just about done, and now it's about the final details."
Though the commission looked favorably on the firm's plans, they raised questions: What sort of noise pollution would be caused by the backup generator? Not much, McCoy said, and only during weather conditions severe enough to disable power. What effect would the school have on traffic? Minimal. Drainage? A galley system, McCoy explained, that would trap water in an underground tank and slowly discharge it into the groundwater.
"Basically, I like it," commission member Alan Mordhorst said. "I think it's going to be a nice school."
The commission approved the site plan unanimously, with provisions that the architects discuss with town staff an easement issue with Eversource, submit a traffic study for review and talk over the generator noise.
McCoy said their "last big step" is a review of the site plan with the state's Office of Policy and Management, after which the project will go out to bid.

Goodyear ( GT ) says its Eagle-360 tires would let self-driving cars to navigate tight spaces, such as parking spots or busy city roads. Studded tires are also employed on bicycles, and the grip benefit on ice is equivalent to that from employing traction sand, with the difference that there is no threat of blank spots when using studded tires. Tire-makers say correct maintenance is the crucial to safe tires and that there is no reputable information accessible displaying tires becoming unsafe right after six years. Mud tires are specialty tires with huge, chunky tread patterns created to bite into muddy surfaces. Some of these locations provide distinct incentives for you to acquire your next set of tires from them.
Study critiques on numerous tires, have never purchased Common tires in the previous, we have a used Honda Pilot, the ride was often a bit noisy, rough. The obtainable tread patterns on truck tires varies just as considerably as with passenger automobiles, from the conservative tread of a highway tire to the aggressive tread of on/off road all-terrain tires, and they are even obtainable in low profile sizes.
The company's technicians are well versed in which wheels and tires befit each sort of automobile, not to mention how very best to sustain and repair tires. In this vein, Goodyear's two new ideas begin with the need to create new tires appropriate for autonomous automobiles.. and then run with it. If the stress is low, then the speed of the car is impacted along with a possible possibility of the car touching the ground. And usually err on the side of caution if you suspect your vehicle has tires that are over six years of age.
We have great relationships with the very best brands in the organization so that we can bring you the strongest solution providing obtainable although never compromising high quality. Simply because tires are the most underappreciated element of a car, drivers typically neglect how old their tires are as lengthy as they still look good. The tube much less tires that do not get punctured very easily also comes under the equivalent price variety. The bead seats tightly against the two rims on the wheel to make sure that a tubeless tire holds air with no leakage.
The low profile tires are only appropriate for sports automobiles as they offer better handling, but they will prove highly uncomfortable. Hankook has the prime-rated Dynapro AT-M in the all-terrain category, and it has a couple impressive ultra-higher performance tires: the Hankook Ventus S1 noble 2 (all-season) and Ventus V12 evo2 (summer time). Overall, while accepting the possibility of purified nitrogen getting of advantage in certain applications, we do not consider that the price and achievable inconvenience are justified for normal passenger automobile use. If its front tires' change in slip angle is greater than that of the rears, then the vehicle is understeering.

SALISBURY, Md. – The Salisbury University baseball team sits one win away from advancing to the Capital Athletic Conference championship round next weekend. It will have two chances to do so against York College of Pennsylvania on Saturday starting at 11 a.m.
Follow the game

For potential second game live stats, click here.
For live video, click here.
Saturday's Schedule
With Frostburg State University being eliminated on day one, only York and Salisbury advance to day two of the first round. Having won both of their contests, the Sea Gulls will need to win just one more time to move on. If York wins the opening game, which begins at 11 a.m., the team will turn around for a winner-take-all contest beginning at 2 p.m.
How We Got Here
Salisbury earned the top seed in the CAC tournament with a 15-3 regular season conference record, and secured home-field advantage throughout the tournament. On day one, the Sea Gulls secured 7-0 victories over both York and Frostburg State, with both Austin Heenan and Connor Reeves tossing complete game shutouts. The two combined for 21 strikeouts while issuing only 9 total hits on the day. Jack Barry, Colby Dean and Justin Meekins each hit home runs, with Barry's coming in game one against the Bobcats on a solo shot, and Meekins and Dean launching a pair of three-run blasts against York in game two.
How They Got Here
York earned the No. 6 seed in the CAC tournament with a 9-9 conference record in the regular season. The Spartans handled Frostburg State in game one on Friday, defeating the Bobcats, 17-5, with starting pitcher Joel Kenney going the distance to earn his fifth win of the season. Grant Oberholtzer led the way offensively, driving in five runs on three hits for the Spartans.
Scouting the Spartans
The Spartans are led by Kenney, a senior, and junior Will Grega on the mound, while their offense shows pop up and down the lineup. Seniors Seth Brosius, Zach Hossler and Christian Bilan have each driven in 40-plus runs, but it is freshman Jack Barry, who sits second in the conference with 50 runs driven in. The team as a whole sits second in the CAC with 375 runs.
Up Next
The team that advances on Saturday will move on to a best-of-three series next weekend against the winner of the three-team pod currently competing at Christopher Newport University. If Salisbury advances, it will host the championship series at Sea Gull Baseball Stadium beginning on Friday, May 11, with game two and possibly a game three played on Saturday.
