hey i live in australia and find it hard to even purchase because of all the new laws and cc companys bullshit i would be keen on getting my hands on some good genetics please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com
how do i get my hands on some purple fems i live in australia and buying seeds of the net is absolute bullshit
Are you on Instagram? I have to imagine there's people doing there thing in Australia, and if it's remotely like Instagram in the states, you'll have options
If you do some searching here there is a company that ships to Australia. I don't remember who, but it is here somewhere
I have to warn anybody not to put his email address on public forums unless you want to be heavily spammed by robots harvesting email addresses online..
It is better to share your private address in private message (that is what we have them for).
We have the same issues in Texas my brother! Not every state is like Colo or Cali. If you're arrested, not "charged" mind you, cops take your smart phone and search it for more "potential" arrests. Fascism exists in the U. S.
Also sending cash to the UK for seeds isn't as risky as it sounds. I've done it several times. You don't want a record of that on your credit card anyway, and I know in the U.S. I have to call my bank and have them verify the international transaction, which I don't think is a good idea.

Well I am new in here and did put a post up introducing myself with pics. I got ripped off for all my meds growing out in our greenhouse. They where to last me for the year. So slowly trying to setup indoor grow as money will allow. If anyone has any good seeds they could spare you have no idea how much this could help me out. I have ordered seed before from this location before https://www.cannabisandseeds.com and had great results. Unfortunately at this time with getting everything else for indoor growing there just isn't enough money to put in an order for seeds. I live in Canada and I am legal to grow.

I've got my killing fields and looking for a purple pheno and plan on crossing to the black, for a small giveaway this coming spring. My "the black" is my f3 and super dark sleepy time but killing fields is sannies f4 or 5. I believe this one will be a good stress reliever that you can toke on a bit without ending up on the moon.I've got too many knock out one toke no choke varieties and need something you and some friends can sit and toke on around the campfire with.Great taste and good terps are important too lol.I should have some diesels ready next summer off my pheno hunts that will be on the other end of the spectrum. If someone could point me in the right direction for a Solid durban poison, I've got an extra pack of greenpoints. Sf catpiss x stardawg or a pack of hisBiodiesel x stardawg.. Id love ANY black or deep purple colored land races as well.

Today, our Leadership Team will be driving home from our annual staff retreat. This is one of the highlights every year for our leadership staff. This retreat is purely a fun retreat. The Leadership Team brings their whole family, and we stay at the lake for two to three days hanging out, eating good, boating, swimming and sea-dooing it up. Relationships are strengthened, memories are built, kids have fun and our staff relaxes and laughs like crazy. I firmly believe that great teams work hard and play hard. This is one of those times that we play hard. Pastor friends, I encourage you to take some time during the summer when things aren't as busy at the church to have some fun with your team. I believe one of the reasons that we have staff who have been at People's Church for years is because we take time to have a blast together. WORK HARD AND PLAY HARD!

6 BIG Mistakes I've Made pt. 4
6. Not taking care of myself: The first two to three years of People's Church were very demanding and exhausting. We began with 65 people on grand opening Sunday. I was on the setup and teardown team every Sunday. Tiffany and I were constantly entertaining new families in our home. I carried a portion of the weekly administrative load. I called every first-time guest. Tiffany and I and the only other staff member we had dropped off a gift to every first-time guest's home (sometimes this was a 30 to 40 minute drive one way to one home). I taught the new member class once a month. I was studying and preaching every Sunday. I didn't receive any type of salary from the church for almost a year and didn't receive a full-time salary for almost two years. On top of starting a new church, I was traveling full-time as an evangelist/speaker around America to make ends meet personally and for the church. The early days of People's Church were a grueling season for me and my wife. If I had it all over again, here are some things I would do differently to take better care of myself.
1. I would have eaten better: Even though I've always worked out consistently, I picked up weight during hectic seasons. At one point, I got to 207 pounds. Today, I'm around 190 pounds. I must admit that I love food and have a tendency to eat unhealthy food when the pressure is on. Now, I'm a lot more aware of what I'm putting into my body and how much I weigh. I realize that I have to take care of my body to make it for the long haul.
2. I would have taken a salary quicker: I made a decision to hire a worship pastor, kid's pastor, youth pastor and secretary before I received a salary. It was an older and more seasoned local pastor friend who rebuked me and told me to begin receiving a salary from the church. He told me if I would trust God, God would bless the church and finances. He was right, and I wish I would have trusted God earlier. This would have allowed me to spend more time working on People's Church instead of focusing so much time on the evangelistic ministry. I also would have been more rested!
3. I would have taken more time off in the early days: I was preaching 15 to 20 Sundays in a row at People's Church on top of all of the traveling I was doing around the United States as an evangelist. I really did think that the church wouldn't survive or at least thrive unless I preached almost every Sunday. This was faulty and unhealthy thinking on my part. I now realize that I am the primary teacher at People's Church, but I don't have to or need to teach every Sunday for the church to survive or thrive.

Weekend Highlights
1. We had a great weekend in the Cooper house. There was a lot of relaxing, playing and fun.
2. I began my weekend on Thursday night by taking my gorgeous wife on a date. (My weekend begins Thursday night because I'm off on Friday) :) We went out to eat and talked.
3. I cheered and screamed at the TV, but the USA soccer team still lost on Saturday. Bummer!
4. We had a really good Sunday at PC. Lots of changed lives.
5. I taught a vision message titled Unstoppable Vision. If you missed Sunday, I encourage you to go to www.peopleschurch.tv and listen to the message. You will learn why we do what we do. It's a must-listen-to message for every person who calls People's Church home! The audio should be up later today, and you should be able to watch it by tomorrow.
6. We've been promoting the Millwood School outreach on July 10 from 8AM to 4PM. We will be going to Millwood to do painting, minor construction and clean up. This is a great way for us to make a difference in the lives of kids, teachers and our community. Please email firstname.lastname@example.com today to sign up.
7. We've been telling you about it for weeks, and now its here. This Sunday, July 4, in all 3 experiences is the Pyrotechnic Explosion Spectacular. Yes, my friends, we are having fireworks in the auditorium this Sunday along with an incredible performance. You don't want to miss this!

6 BIG Mistakes I've Made pt. 3
5. Not being comfortable in my own skin: Over the years, I have felt guilty for the way that I'm wired, and it's affected me emotionally and mentally. I'm a pastor, and I'm more of an introvert. I'm a pastor, and I would rather be by myself than with people. I'm a pastor, and I'm a task-driven person. I absolutely love people, care about people and am thrilled to pastor the wonderful people at People's Church, but I can't deny the above statements. In the past, when I've been around pastors who are extroverts and love to be around people all day, I have felt like something was wrong with me. I've wrestled with God in prayer over this matter. I've talked to my wife about it. It's been a process for God to deal with my heart and make me comfortable with the way He has created me.
Honestly, I've been this way since I was a kid. In middle school and high school, I didn't want to go to parties or big events. I was content and happy to be by myself or with one or two friends. I've been wired this way for as long as I can remember, but I felt like a pastor should be wired differently.
Through the work of the Holy Spirit, talking with my wife and meeting other pastors who are wired like me, I have embraced the fact that God made me this way and called me to pastor because He has a specific work He wants to accomplish through me. I've embraced the fact that God knew the way He created me before He called me to pastor, so obviously He wants to use my personality type to advance His Kingdom. Embracing the way that God has made me has been freeing for me emotionally and mentally. Pastor friend, I want to encourage you to be you! The compare game will suck the life out of you. Nobody can beat you being you!

6 Big Mistakes I've Made pt. 2
3. Holding My Team Back: 3 years ago or so, I was telling our team that they had to quit being doers and start being leaders. Though I would teach this to our team every week in staff meeting, down deep inside I didn't like this change, and it showed up in my speech and actions outside of staff meeting. I believe in hard work, and I wanted our team busy doing the ministry even though I told them in staff meeting to release the ministry to others. I know some of the team had to be confused during this season because I was teaching them how to develop leaders and release ministry, and then, I would talk to them one-on-one a few days later and drill them about why THEY weren't getting stuff done. I confess, I held back our team for a season. This was a tough transition for me as leader to release our staff to be leaders and not doers.
4. A Heart Full Of Religion: Yes, when I started People's Church 8 years ago, my heart was full of religion. I didn't realize that I had become a legalistic, nasty and mean-spirited preacher. I loved tradition and minor doctrinal positions more than I did people. I had a doctrinal pride because I thought I was right and everybody else was surely wrong. I would cling to my opinion of the Bible more than what the Bible actually said and emphasized. The early days of my preaching were more condescending than uplifting because my heart was full of religion. I was critical of other Bible-believing churches that didn't do it like we did it and didn't believe like we believed. I was critical of some churches' methods of reaching people for Christ. Yes, I'm even guilty of being critical of a pastor that I've never met. I didn't know his heart, motives, prayer life or lifestyle, and yet, I would sit in judgment of his methods of reaching his community for Christ. Because I didn't understand why some churches used out of the box methods to reach people for Christ, I thought they were wrong, compromising and worldly. I would even tell my wife, "We will never do what that church does." I'm grateful that God set me free from religion. The absolutely funny thing is that some of the very things I said we would never do to reach people for Christ, we now do! I'M FREE, thank God Almighty that I'm FREE INDEED!

6 Big Mistakes I've Made
1. Hiring people too fast: One of the biggest things that make People's Church tick is our staff. I have an incredible team, but picking the right team has been an area I've grown in over the years. I've made the mistake of hiring a person without getting a reference from their current employer. I've made the mistake of having one interview and hiring a person on the spot. I've made the mistake of hiring people without letting some of my team interview them. I've made the mistake of hiring people without any input from my team. I've made the mistake of hiring people without testing them so I could know something about their personality type and skill set. I've made the mistake of hiring people when I had red flags in my heart about them. I've made the mistake of hiring people because I felt pressure to get the positioned filled. I've made the mistake of overlooking some negative things because a person was so gifted in a certain area. I've learned the hard way that one of the biggest things that will cost an organization or church time and money is hiring the wrong people. One of the biggest things that will keep an organization from moving forward is having the wrong staff or a lot of staff turnover because you've made the wrong hires. I have made this mistake more than once and have learned that the old saying is so true, "Hire slow and fire fast."
2. Doing too much: I've held on to certain areas of ministry too long, became fatigued and stopped the church from reaching its full potential because of it. An example of this is I directly oversaw the entire staff for too long, and it wiped me out. I'm no different from 90 percent of leaders. I like control, and it's tough to release things to others because I want things done a certain way. This is a huge mistake rooted in insecurity, pride and a lack of truly understanding what leadership is all about. Thank the Lord that I now have an Executive Team made up of 3 godly men who oversee People's Church. These three men are my only direct reports. My day-to-day work life is much more manageable, and these men have taken People's Church to a whole new level that I could never achieve by myself. We are also poised to go to the next level because I've released ministry and responsibility to these men. Doing too much is a huge mistake: Pastor, you can't do all the weddings, funerals, hospital calls, visit all the sick, preach 52 Sundays and 52 Wednesday nights, manage accounts receivable and payable, answer the phone, return all phone calls that come into the office and print the bulletin. Doing too much is a recipe for burnout, does not release others into their area of giftedness, and holds the church back from reaching its full potential.

Weekend Highlights
1. It was a super fun weekend in the Cooper house.
2. I got to celebrate my birthday and Father's Day on the same day this year. That's right, yesterday was my 35th birthday.
3. Church was great. There were a lot of people who gave their lives to Christ.
4. I was deeply moved watching men commit their lives to Christ.
5. I'm very grateful to God that so many men call People's Church home.
6. One of our first-time guests told me that he couldn't believe how many young adults attend our church. I'm grateful to God that we are reaching so many young adults!
7. The Power For Life team performed crazy feats of strength. My favorite was the fire on the bricks and watching him smash the bricks.
8. We had a great summertime attendance.
9. 9 dads won the 9 grand prizes that we gave away (flat screen HDTV's, recliners & Bass Pro Shop gift cards).
10. I challenged, encouraged and inspired men to be godly men and leaders. I called forth the greatness that's already inside of them.
11. I came home after church to a special lunch. My wife made me a New York Strip with awesome toppings like mushrooms and cheese, baked potato, corn & salad.
12. Tiffany also made one of my favorite desserts, dump cake. Man, that was awesome stuff! I put ice cream on top of the cake.
13. Thanks, Tiffany, for making my birthday and Father's Day special. You know how to make me happy, feed me! :) Love you, sweetie!
14. I told the church that I have an important message to share with them this coming up Sunday, June 27. I'm teaching a message on vision. It's titled Unstoppable Vision! This is a must-attend Sunday. I will be sharing my heart and the direction of People's Church.
15. The heat is on in Oklahoma! Mid to high 90's all week. I think I'm going to lie out and get a suntan. NOT! :)

Why I Don't Preach Every Sunday
I just took three Sundays in a row off from teaching at People's Church. I was on vacation the first two Sundays, and the third Sunday I led the services but didn't teach. Let me give you some insight to why I don't preach every Sunday, and why I don't think any pastor should teach every Sunday.
Sermons on the weekends are not just 30-minute talks. A 30-minute message drains as much emotional energy as the average 8-hour workday. If a pastor has to speak more than once each weekend, the emotional drain is multiplied, and if there is not a break from speaking, significant emotional and physical health is often compromised. Over the last seven years, People's Church has had a multiple service schedule. We have had 2, 3, 4, 5 and currently 3 services on Sundays. We will be adding a 4th service in the near future. On top of studying and preaching Sundays, most senior pastors are responsible for staff, budgets, hiring, releasing staff, buying land, building new facilities, ministries, outreach, care, weddings, funerals, missions, creating momentum, sustaining momentum, etc. The bottom line is the buck normally stops with the senior pastor no matter how many people may be on staff and oversee the various areas of ministry. This schedule can destroy a senior pastor's health, emotions, family and spiritual vitality if they don't take time away from preaching and leading (and especially preaching).
The leaders of People's Church understand the importance of having and keeping a healthy pastor. We made a decision several years ago to disperse the preaching load. This year, I will preach 38 Sundays at People's Church. That comes out to an average of a little bit more than 3 out of 4 weekends each month. The remaining Sundays, our teaching team (Chris Smith & Troy Martin) teach God's Word. We occasionally have other staff speak as well. We also bring in another pastor or an evangelist once or twice a year.
I am not complaining about my job because I love what I do, but I am being raw and real about the reality of a senior pastor's schedule. Pastors who speak more than 40 weekends a year with multiple weekend services are headed for burnout. There may be a handful of Superman pastors who can do this long-term, but there is a long list of those who have tried and have ended up losing their families, their health, or worse, their own spiritual vitality. I do not want to be on that list. I miss People's Church when I am gone, but I know that I am not the only person who is called and gifted to teach Scripture. I believe in the power of team, and I believe the church is strongest when a multitude of voices are heard on Sundays.
I am running a marathon and want to be an old pastor who finishes the race well rather than a young, foolish one, who is convinced that the church won't make it and thrive if I don't teach 52 Sundays a year.
Thanks, Pastor Brady Boyd, for the inspiration and for some of the content for this blog post!

What's On My Mind
1. I had some great time off with my family.
2. My family went to Rochester, NY to see my mom, sister, her husband and kids.
3. We had a great time in Rochester.
4. While we were in Rochester, we worshipped at The Father's House. This is a great church with great pastors. This is a multi-cultural church. It reminded us a lot of People's Church.
5. I finished the book The Five Dysfunctions Of A Team during the first part of my break. It was my second time to read the book, and it was just as good as the first time.
6. It takes me a couple of weeks to really unwind from work. I needed the speaking break because I was starting to feel fatigued mentally.
7. I'm very grateful for a great team who can run the church and teach and preach while I'm off. God has blessed PC with exceptional leadership.
8. One of the greatest things that pastors can do is build a trustworthy, competent and Godly team around themselves (paid or volunteer). This requires a lot of energy and investment, but it is totally worth it.
9. If you have teaching and preaching responsibilities at your church, you need to raise up a couple of other teachers so you can take some time off. I will do a blog post this week or next week on how to raise up other teachers.
10. I think it's funny when people think I should be at church and preach 52 weeks out of the year, but they're not at church 52 weeks out of the year. In the early days of our church, this used to bother me, and now I just smile at them and let them know they better get used to me taking time off. :)
11. DadFest 2010 is this Sunday! Muscle & classic cars will be all over the People's Church campus. The Power for Life Team will be performing crazy feats of strength. We will be giving away recliners, flat screen HDTV's and Bass Pro Shop gift cards. Dads, get to church early so you can enjoy the experience in one of the recliners. I will be teaching an encouraging and inspiring message. This is going to be a great day at PC! Start inviting everybody you know for DadFest 2010!

Embrace the Pain
This entry was posted by Brian Rush, Executive Director of Creative Arts at People's Church.
I have never really been a big fan of pain. For the most part, I don't know many people who are. What I have come to realize, though, is that the biggest payoff or return happens when I embrace the pain. In a physical workout, the growth happens in the last few reps when the muscle is torn and then has a chance to repair itself. If you're a runner, some of the most pain comes in the last leg of the run when you have to push yourself beyond what you really think you can do. Likewise, in leadership, a painful yet honest critique can make you better. Putting down old tools to learn completely new ones is not easy but is required to go to that next level. Failing can sometimes hurt, but it allows us to learn from it and not make that mistake again. If you want to grow, get better, make a difference, advance the ball and fulfill your God-given potential, it's going to HURT sometimes, and you've simply got to love every minute of it and embrace it :)
Wherever you are in the leadership spectrum, I encourage you to embrace the pain. For those who you lead, don't shy away from that conversation that needs to happen because you think it might be painful. The next time someone gives you an honest critique, don't take it personal. Instead, learn from it and become better. However it applies to your situation, remember...NO PAIN, NO GAIN!

Always The Season
This entry was posted by Josh Brown, Executive Director of Operations at People's Church.
Monday, my wife and I celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary. I cannot believe it has already been seven years. God has truly blessed me with an amazing woman of God. I'm still not quite sure how I landed her :). In my quiet time on Monday, I was thanking God for all of the incredible things He has done in our lives over the past several years, and it caused me to think about the different seasons we have gone through. For example, we've had a season without kids, a season with kids, a season with both of us working, a season with just me working, a season without the OKC Thunder, a season with the OKC Thunder; you get the point. I was reminded that seasons will change, which will alter our lives in one way or another, but there are some things that should never change no matter what season we are in. Here's a brief list of some of those "unchangables." It's always the season to:
- Love God and one another
- Operate with integrity
- Do your best
- Make honesty the only option
- Have a positive attitude
- Never cut corners
- Reach the lost at any cost
God, I pray you give us the wisdom to make necessary changes and the perseverance to stay the course on things that must never change. Amen.

If I Only Had
This entry was posted by Troy Martin, Executive Director of Ministries at People's Church.
"If I only had _______________, then I would ______________________!"
If I only had their church budget, then I would ______________________.
If I only had their staff, then I would ______________________________.
If I only had their facility, then I would ____________________________.
If I only had their charisma or talent, then I would ___________________.
Attention pastors and leaders! Don't allow yourself to play the "If I only had _______" game. It is a game of comparisons that is not healthy for you and your effectiveness in what God has called you to do. I have news for you…there will always be someone with a bigger budget, a better facility and more talent.
Here is the question to ask when tempted to play the game: "AM I BEING FAITHFUL WITH WHAT GOD HAS GIVEN TO ME?" God has uniquely created you with certain talents and a certain personality. He has blessed you with resources to get the job done, and He has placed you where He wants you to be!
Coach John Wooden said, "Don't measure yourself by what you have accomplished, but by what you should have accomplished with your ability." You can do it! Be faithful and work hard to build the Kingdom of God!

Being A PW
This entry was posted by Tiffany Cooper, Herbert's wife.
People's Church celebrated 8 years as a church in May. I have been passionate about this church and my role as a pastor's wife from day 1. Although I could compile a very long list of talking points, I thought I'd share 10 ways my life has been impacted as a pastor's wife (PW).
- I get the most amazing view of what God is doing each week in the lives of people. I get to watch the transforming power of God at work in impossible situations.
- I have discovered my strengths and weaknesses through a new lens. Some of my strengths can become weaknesses as a PW if I'm not careful. Ouch!
- I get the best seat in the house when it comes to learning from a great leader, my husband. Dinner chats are intriguing as we talk about pastoring and leading. How many other women can say they are learning from the best? I know, I'm biasedJ
- I have had the privilege to develop friendships with truly incredible PW's and their husbands. There is nothing like a friend who can understand your role.
- I get lots of extra love each week from our church family. They are so sweet to me and our children.
- I have experienced some challenging and some painful seasons of ministry, but I have always come out better and wiser. The discomfort is a small price to pay for more effectiveness.
- I have become a greater follower of Christ, a better example of Christ's love to all people. My relationship with Christ is now free of religion. It's about reaching people where they are.
- I made the adjustment to living my life in view of the public where every move and every word is judged. (Of course, I still have my slip-ups). Living my life in the fishbowl has moved from a small discomfort to completely normal.
- I have automatic credibility and a platform as a PW. I am thankful for this privilege to impact others' lives. I do not take it lightly.
- I am honored to share this ministry journey with a man who is the same at home as he is in the church. He is the real deal, and I don't take that for granted.
Being a pastor's wife isn't an ordinary life, and I like it that way. I'm right where I want to be. If you are a pastor, tell your wife that a PW from Oklahoma says hello. We're all in this together!

Take The Good With The Bad
This entry was posted by Tiffany Cooper, Herbert's wife.
I love snack food, and trail mix is a favorite. However, lately I've noticed that the M&M's are gone leaving only peanuts and raisins. That's not good for a chocolate lover like me! Well, it didn't take long for me to realize my kids were to blame, taking the best part while ignoring the rest.
It's easy to do the same in ministry. Ignoring the unfavorable parts for what we like best. Unfortunately, if we want to continue enjoying the best parts, we need to also include the unfavorable parts too.
- If you want a healthy team/staff, you have to make the tough decisions, confront in love and lead.
- If you want a healthy church, you have to stay committed to the vision God has given you, doing what's best for the whole and not the few who want the control.
- If you want your God-given dreams to happen, you have to work hard, work smart and work faithfully.
The "If you want" list could go on and on. We all have different gift mixes, different likes and different ministry situations, AND we all have things we would rather ignore. But if we commit to doing what is unfavorable, the results will allow us to do more of what is favorable…that's the best part.

This entry was posted by Tiffany Cooper, Herbert's wife.
In March, I met 5 other pastors' wives in Las Vegas for a Leading and Loving It getaway. While there, I was approached by an Elvis impersonator. Let's just say he didn't measure up to my ideal Elvis. Sure, he had the hair and the clothes, but he wasn't authentic.
In ministry, we can find ourselves trying to impersonate a particular pastor or church. It's easy to think that what one person or organization does will translate the same for us. Ministry is not a one size fits all formula.
In our ambition to be "that person" or "that church," we overlook many things. We forget:
- that we don't know the whole story. We don't know the price they paid to get where they are or the obstacles they have overcome. Are you ready to pay your own price?
- that their church model may not be the best fit for our church or our pastoral/leadership giftings.
- that they are seeing the fruits of 20 years in ministry. Give yourself permission to enjoy your season of ministry as you journey toward 20 years.
- that no 2 pastors or churches are the same. Know who you are. Know your church and your city.
Be true to all that God has placed in you. Seek counsel and mentorship from other pastors and churches, but don't replace your God-given authenticity with an impersonation of them. Impersonations are void of authenticity, effectiveness and power. Be real. Be you. Live out your call, not a replica of another's call.

Ed Miliband's Energy Plan
22 October 2013
Labour Party Leader Ed Miliband has made everyone aware that he intends to deal with gas and electricity prices that just keep on rising by introducing a price freeze that will last for 20 months.
People in Britain are sick and tired of prices that keep going up while the Big Six energy companies' profits soar.
We want price controls to be imposed on these Big Six companies so that customers can get the benefit of lower prices.
We are not persuaded by these companies saying that the price freeze is "unworkable".
We don't believe either that the freeze and the shake-up that the energy market needs will lead to power black outs.
Ed Miliband is taking the side of families, pensioners and businesses against these companies which enjoyed billions of pounds of profit together last year.
Britain deserves better, we can do better and this is only the start.

Down and Dirty Toilet Replacement
Step #2: Drain Toilet Tank and Bowl
Start by draining as much water as possible out of the toilet tank and bowl, then sponge out the rest.
How to drain a toilet:
- Turn off Water: Find the water line shutoff valve located below the toilet and turn it to the right (clockwise) as far as it will go. If your toilet doesn't have a shutoff valve, you will need to turn off all the water to the house where the water line enters the house or at the water meter.
- Flush Toilet: After turning off the water, flush the toilet and hold the handle down to remove as much of the water in the tank as possible.
- Drain Bowl: Fill a bucket up with water, and pour it rapidly into the bowl. The fast movement of the water down the drain creates a partial vacuum that sucks most of the water in the bowl down with it. Watch our video on How to Drain a Toilet to see how it's done.
- Remove Remaining Water: Wear rubber gloves and use a sponge and bucket to remove any remaining water in the bowl and tank. If your idea of a good time isn't sponging water the out of a toilet bowl, you can drop a packet of LiquiLock (available at home centers) in the bowl to turn the remaining water into a gel.

Try carefully tightening the toilet bolts that hold the toilet to the floor up, but don't overdo it as it could crack the porcelain bowl. If that doesn't help, put a shim between the floor and toilet.

Coffee vs Espresso: They're Both Winners! 🏆
Coffee vs Espresso: Caffeine, Preparation and More
Here at EnjoyBetterCoffee.com, we often talk amongst ourselves about which we prefer: Coffee or Espresso. Of course, we love coffee, so we enjoy both coffee and espresso. But we've found that there are many myths about espresso, so we are here to clear them up! Some people think that espresso is just another way of making coffee, and that is true. But it isn't the entire story.
First, a big difference between coffee and espresso is the preparation method. Coffee can be made in several ways: Drip, pour-over, French Press (one of our favorites), moka pot, Senseo maker, K-cup, cold brew, and a few others. We even know someone who pours hot water into coffee grounds in his cup, and mixes, then drinks, leaving the grounds in the cup. (In some cultures, the grounds are read to divine future information.)
Espresso, which refers to the way the coffee is made, requires hot water under pressure and some amount of time for extraction. Different espresso machines are made to use a specific temperature of hot water coupled with an extraction time of 20-25 seconds.
Would you be surprised to learn that one of the biggest misconceptions about the difference is the caffeine content? One ounce of espresso has less than 75mg of caffeine, while an 8oz cup of coffee has up to 185 mg (depending on brew method and type of bean used). So a single espresso shot, or a double shot (two ounces) will still likely have less caffeine than a cup of coffee.
Part of that perceived difference can also be attributed to the drink size. Two ounces of espresso, known as a double shot, and drunk in a relatively short time as per usual, can make the drinker feel the effects of the caffeine more quickly than a leisurely cup of coffee drunk over several minutes or more. But we assure you, the caffeine is not equivalent.
At EnjoyBetterCoffee.com, we have coffee, espresso, instant, coffee alternatives (Ricore, Leroux, Cafix) and more! You can search our coffee by the brand's country, by pods or capsules, and even sustainable and organic coffees. You'll find these groups under Coffee By Type from our home page.

One Last Note About Espresso
Espresso became popular at the start of the 20th century in Italy with the development of machines built to make coffee. Espresso bars became a place to meet and socialize. Tiny cups were all the rage. The word espresso is used to describe both a roast of coffee (Espresso Roast) and a method of brewing. Espresso Roast refers to coffee roasted so that it is somewhat darker than traditional American roasts. The espresso roast highlights the bitter-sweetness of the bean while keeping the acidity (the tartness) down, and of course, is great for making espresso.
Coffee In The News
Smoked Espresso Sea Salt Perks Up Dinner
A specialty spice and herb seasoning company, out of California, has created a smoked espresso sea salt that can add a burst of flavor to your meal. The blend uses gourmet Italian roasted espresso powder, along with salt from the Pacific Ocean. It is then smoked low and slow. They recommend using this as a sprinkle on protein shakes or chocolate ice cream, dusting cookies, replacing salt in baked goods, and of course, our favorite, as a marinade or rub for meat. Coffee: Not just for drinking anymore.

Must Have Coffee
Not just our first words in the morning, coffee is also a great idea for a party. Whether you have just a few guests or dozens, be sure you offer coffee to your guests. Some people (like us) love good coffee any time of the day; for others, it will be appreciated later in the evening. Offer both decaf and regular, and hot water available for instant drinks and hot cocoa.
Surround the carafes holding the liquids with different sized-cups, spoons and all the stir-ins you can find. Try simple flavors such as:
- Small chocolate candies (kisses in many flavors; Andes)
- Flavored syrups
- Hot cocoa mix (add a spoonful to coffee – yum!)
- Good instant coffee
- Raw sugar
- Real cream
- Candy canes
- Whipped cream
- Candied orange peel
- Mini marshmallows
- Assorted teas
- Flavored creamers
- Spices: Nutmeg, Cinnamon, Cardamom, Lavender, Cloves (to name a few)
- For Adults only: Kahlua, Frangelico, Chambord, Whiskey, Cognac
You can be as elaborate or as uncomplicated as you want. You may already have a lot of potential add-ins in your pantry.
Speaking of keeping things simple…
Coffee-Related Appetizers
Coffee makes a delicious BBQ sauce or rub. Serve grilled or broiled pieces of steak, chicken or pork, cut into chunks or strips, on skewers, or prepare (or buy) chicken wings, with a selection of BBQ sauces alongside for dipping. Add a coffee BBQ sauce to baked beans, shredded meat sliders, or for meatballs or sliced sausages in the crockpot.
Here's an easy coffee BBQ sauce recipe:
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1 cup brewed coffee
- 2 Tbsp dark brown sugar
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1½ tsp black pepper
- 1½ Tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1½ tsp low-sodium soy sauce
- Combine ketchup, coffee, brown sugar, onion powder, garlic powder and chili powder in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes or until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat. Stir in black pepper, balsamic vinegar, and soy sauce.
- Store in the refrigerator. Can be made in advance.

Holiday Traditions Across the Globe
Over the next two days, billions of people across the globe will pause their usual work and take part in a special event wherever they are. Perhaps that event is a religious church service. Or maybe it's a particular meal with family or friends. Or maybe it's just taking some time on your own to read or reflect.

Because EnjoyBetterCoffee.com has the best of European coffee made for the European market, we thought you would enjoy knowing a bit about some of the traditions of the countries that produce our most popular coffees.

Hyvää Joulua
Christmas Eve starts early in Finland (it will be dark by 3pm that day), so breakfast is a traditional rice porridge and plum fruit juice. Between morning and the early evening, traditional activities include decorating the tree, taking a sauna, and visiting the graves of family members to leave a candle-lit lantern at the site.
God Jul
Christmas Eve is also very important in Sweden. The main meal that day will be a buffet served at lunchtime. There will be lots of fish: cured, smoked and pickled, and served in many different ways. Ham is special, along with turkey, roast beef, pate, salads, breads, sausages, cabbage rolls, pigs' feet, and many potato- and cabbage-based side dishes. Pastries and cookies are served as dessert.
Frohe Weihnachten
Austrians speak a dialect of German, so "Merry Christmas" is the same in Austria, Germany and, as it happens, in Switzerland. The big holiday tradition starts on Christmas Eve, when the tree is lit for the first time, and everyone sings carols around the bright tree. "Silent Night" is the most traditional carol, perhaps because it was written in Austria in the early 1800's.
Buon Natale
In Italy, Christmas Eve finds family and friends enjoying "The Feast of the Seven Fishes" which of course includes 7 courses of fish (think eel, smelts, clams, mussels, and shrimp, to name a few).
Frohe Weihnachten
The Christmas tree itself is a big part of the holiday celebrations in Germany. You may already know that tree decorating as a Christmas tradition began in Germany, and was brought to England by Prince Albert, who married Queen Victoria of England in the 1800's. A traditional treat for this time of year is stollen, bread with dried fruits, nuts, spices and icing.
Joyeux Noel
In Provence, France, the Christmas Eve meal is followed by Thirteen Desserts. It's most important to have 13 offerings rather than have any specific treat. Across France, though, nothing beats the popularity of the Yule Log cake. Decorated with frosting, marzipan and cream meant to look just like a log, right down to the bark and mushrooms growing alongside, the cake is adorned with red and green holly to emphasize the season.
Most importantly, the one thing that all these countries have in common is simple: Coffee is served with the meal and/or dessert.
Try any of our coffees from these countries or beyond – Look under Coffee By Type, where we have grouped coffees by country.
Go ahead, treat yourself to some fresh European coffee and use the discount above. Order now!
Have a wonderful holiday week – and next week, look for some coffee-related party tips in our newsletter!
As always, enjoy better coffee and thanks from the EnjoyBetterCoffee Team!

With four children 9 and under, I feel that the best deals for groceries and non-food items are at Wal-Mart, not to mention one stop shopping with limited time.
I have tried to not go there and shop at Publix or Kroger but the grocery bill by itself is outrageous. Unfortunately, I have really had some bad customer service experiences at Wal-Mart.
I live in Gainesville, GA and shop at either that Wal-Mart (Wal-Mart Supercenter Store #510) or the one in Dahlonega, GA (Wal-Mart Supercenter Store #2513) only 25 minutes away. We moved back to Georgia in 2006 so I have been shopping at both (mainly Dahlonega due to the store being less crowded) every 2 to 3 weeks drop between $500 and $600 most of the time.
Shopping for Nothing
Around 3 years ago, I was in the Gainesville Wal-Mart with my youngest (he is only 3½ now). I was under the gun as usual to get finished shopping and get to the school to pick up the other three kids. I normally get non-food items first and have the customer service desk hold the cart for me while I finish shopping.
That day, I went to checkout and get my other cart and they had used it for go-backs. I was so upset that I vowed to never go there again. Lord knows, I didn't want to go back another day after spending around 3-hours (average time) to shop.
I literally cried because they had put back and/or mixed up almost all of the things from my cart. I had a baby with me, who had been in the cart too long, and of course I was under the gun to pick up the kids from school.
Not My Bread
I decided to check out the Dahlonega store after that. It was less crowded and appeared to have better stocked shelves. One day, I took my kids with me (all adopted from China and Korea) for just a few items and the cashier apparently didn't like the way my family looked. She had the meanest, glaring look on her face.
Just behind me in line was another family (with dirty looking kids who weren't wearing shoes on their feet, etc.) glaring at me as well. When the cashier had finished ringing up my order, I realized the she had rung up their loaf of bread with my order. I had placed a divider between our orders but their bread had fallen onto my stuff. No big deal, however, when I said "that is their bread" to the cashier, she literally said "It's yours now!"
Talk about stunned silence. For a moment I stood there trying to take in what she had just said to me! That family didn't say one word either. I told her that it surely was not mine and she said that yes it was and that I had to go to the customer service desk to have it refunded.
I still to this day cannot believe that she acted that way. Of course, I ranted to the Store Manager and that is how I got to know the nice CSM that day. We still laugh about that. Of course, she is still employed there and I wonder what they really did, if anything, to her for that.
Last night I went alone to the Dahlonega store for the first time, in the evening. The hubby came home early so I could go alone. The visit was fine and I thought — Wow!
Should It Take An Act of Congress?
Tuesday evening (or any evening during the week) is very pleasant. After I filled one cart with my non-perishable items (so that my cold stuff won't stay out of the fridge or freezer too long), I took it to customer service and asked that they hold it for me.
Now, mind you, I have learned that you do not listen to them when they say (and a CS person tells me this every time) "Just put it over there, I will watch it for you".
I learned over the past 3½ years at both stores to ask for a piece of paper to write my name on and tape it to the cart so that it won't be put back. It also happened once at this store as well as the Gainesville store. They roll their eyes when I insist on doing that.
Well, not only do I write my name, but I write, "Please don't return, still shopping" along with the date and time. What more do these people need? When I got up to the checkout last night, my stuff at "Lack of" customer service had been separated and some already put back. I was livid!
Let's Play the Blame Game
It was 8:00 p.m. and I had been in the store for 3-hours. I lost it! Those employees (including the one that told me just to put it over there and she would watch it) started blaming me! I was in tears. Manager Tom came over and I was pointing and yelling because they actually had the nerve to tell me that I should have gotten one of their signatures on that piece of paper! How absolutely ridiculous!
They opened another register, thank God — because they only had two open — to check me out. I was furious and just wanted to get out of there. If only I could stand to walk away and leave everything, but that is so hard to do with my limited time as a mother and the time I already invested in shopping.
Then the cashier, who checked me out, told me that I should have had them put it somewhere else, that people for camps, etc. have multiple carts all the time. So I said "you mean to tell me that there is a 'SPECIAL' place for multiple carts.
I wanted her to understand why I was so upset.
She was mad and said she didn't want to argue with me. There was no argument that I am aware of. None of them wanted to take responsibility, they were all attempting to put the blame on me! I was shaking. She gave me the receipt and never bothered to say thank you. The manager really didn't know what to do.
I don't remember hearing anyone say they were sorry. Customers were staring. It was sick! I drove up for my $600 worth of stuff and the cashier that rang me up walked out with me, helping with the two carts and asked if I needed any help. I told her she didn't have to and she turned around and walked away. I really didn't want her or anyone else around me while I loaded my $600 of stuff. I just wanted to get out of there as soon as possible!
I called the manager from my car as I was driving off, after I had calmed down a little. I wanted him to understand why I was so livid.
He was very apologetic and said there was no such thing as getting their signature on my piece of paper etc. He said that he hoped I continue to shop with them. I told him how embarrassed I was and that I was sorry that I got so upset.
I let him know that his lovely employees inflamed the situation by coming up with new ways to blame me for the situation. I own a business and also worked at Winn-Dixie for 6 ½ years thru high school and college and can NEVER imagine blaming a customer. Heck! I don't blame customers to their face when it IS their fault.
The manager claimed he would go over this with employees and figure out a better way to deal with multiple cart customers. I am shaking now as I type this because it still makes me mad.
I have been overcharged or double-charged for items as well at both stores, which other posters have mentioned. It is extremely important to go over the receipt especially when purchasing so many items.
I have gotten some mileage and laughs off my Wal-Mart stories with my friends (especially the loaf of bread incident) but I feel trapped because I would LOVE to shop at Publix all the time but I just can't tolerate the high bill! Also, I would probably still have to go to Wal-Mart for non-food stuff and that would mean two places to shop, instead of getting it over with in one visit. It is truly a thorn in my side every 2 to 3 weeks. HELP!
Thanks for listening (reading). Glad to get it all off my chest!

First developed more than seventy years ago, the Saunders Industrial Diaphragm Valve has evolved to handle more fluids, gases, solids and powder than any other type of valve. A wide variety of body, lining, and diaphragm materials are available and a flexible range of operating methods have been developed to satisfy the needs of most industrial applications. Saunders® has led the way in providing solutions in industries where resistance to corrosion, abrasion, contamination, and trouble-free operation are imperative.
Extended life, reliability, safety and ease of use, combined with an essentially simply design, result in low maintenance for minimal running costs. When subjected to both pressure and vacuum, Saunders Diaphragm Valves operate and close 100% leak-tight even when solids are present. This feature reduces processing and handling costs by cutting out the waste normally associated with conventional valve designs. Saunders core competencies in rubber and polymer technology uniquely position the company to truly manage 'The Science Inside' the valve.
Saunders manufactures their products to international standards; their range encompasses a complete line of manual and linear actuated diaphragm valves, both weir and straight through type, aseptic diaphragm valves and blocks solutions, non-return check valves and ball valves.

I'm going to have to start paying attention to the news, because this happened and I found out via Facebook and I feel ashamed of myself. That's what I get for being a hermit...
My prayers and thoughts are with the people of Haiti and the Dominican Republic tonight.

Financial Storyboards
Financial Storyboards: do more than just distribute monthly reports
Numbers have an important story to tell; they rely on you to give them a voice.
This story should be about conveying business performance powerfully and interactively, leveraging input from different operational departments. Told well, your story will guide executives directly toward the key insights behind the data.
Say goodbye to static, printed reporting packs that no one actually reads – the storyboard functionality within our reporting software helps you to put together the most relevant reports and dashboards for the ultimate corporate performance story.
Why not try it yourself?
Features designed to tell a story
The right insights for the right people
Effective financial 'storytelling' involves more than simply distributing monthly financial statements with a few accompanying footnotes. It should be about conveying business performance powerfully and interactively – guiding executives directly to the key insights behind the data.
Share reports safely and quickly
Your monthly storyboard can be automated to generate automatically with all the updated content – eliminating the need for manual, repetitive report creation and distribution. Share your reports safely within CXO Software, only including users with the right credentials. Or export them to traditional formats, such as Excel, Powerpoint or PDF.
Communicate the story behind the numbers
Traditional integration of narrative into reporting processes is manual, ad hoc, and highly error prone. CXO Software enables effective communication to streamline internal and external reporting processes. One of our unique features is that we combine quantitative data with value-added narrative within a single secure and collaborative environment.
Built with Finance in mind
Free yourself from static Excel spreadsheets, and discover a wealth of new insights with our powerful data visualizations. Built with Finance in mind, CXO Software's financial and performance reporting dashboards facilitate the decision-making process and make spotting variances and patterns effortlessly simple.
A preview of the storyboard functionality

Sand Lake National Wildlife Refuge near Aberdeen, S.D., is a favorite place in the spring. I went there for a few days last week hoping to see Western Grebes do their courtship dance. There also was a good show by Forster's Terns diving for minnows, and a Black-crowned Night-Heron first in leisurely flight, then turning up the speed as a Yellow-headed Blackbird gave chase. Plus a Cattle Egret in a usual place. The grebes also were dancing on Lake Osakis in west central Minnesota. We visited there, too, but missed the dancing. Many grebes were on nests, so the courtship dancing might have been finished. The lake holds a significant grebe colony.

"After 9/11, the mastermind of the attack taunted us from a distant cave. We poured money and lives into one, then two wars, but couldn't find Bin Laden. Torture became government policy; innocent people were arrested; privacy was lost. Travel changed from an adventure to a nightmare of security checks and delays.
And in New York City, where the Twin Towers once stood, there was a gaping hole – surrounded by walls and construction workers. While Americans yearned for a place to commemorate the attack's victims, politicians bickered over what to do with the site.
But now, ten years later, Osama Bin Laden has been killed and the 9/11 Memorial is finally open in New York City. Perhaps the U.S. is on its way to healing from the terrible attacks of September 11th."
Ten years on: are things really any better? Caroline Curran investigates. Read all about it in the latest issue of Carnet Atlantique!

POLICE have published a "rogue's gallery" of suspects wanted in connection with crimes across the region.
It's hoped that uploading headshots to the West Midlands Police website will allow officers to trace more quickly individuals linked to a range of serious offences.
Four suspects from Solihull are among the faces to feature in the force's new "wanted list" - which launched this week.
They are Isaac Doherty, 37, suspected of violent disorder, Grant Gold, 20, suspected of burglary, Oliver Higgins, 25, suspected of car theft, and Richard Larcombe, 27, suspected of wounding and wanted for recall to prison
Superintendent Dave Walker, from Solihull Police, said: "We're hoping to speed up the arrest process by asking for the public's support to identify wanted people.
"The support we received from our communities following last August's riots – when we asked for help to name looters and rioters caught on CCTV – was overwhelming with the public's calls in to us directly leading to many arrests and convictions."
Those featuring in the library of wanted faces include people forensically linked to crime scenes and suspects that have skipped bail or breached licence agreements.

I've not been doing much crafting really, but there are a lot of ideas ruminating in my mind and once these have formed themselves into something, I'll be sharing what my plans will be! Most evenings and a lot of the weekends so far this year have been spent curled up on the couch watching the telly box and doing some crochet. Utter bliss and such a change from the hectic few months I've had since October! I did want to share a random selection of photos which kind of sum up the goings on of the last couple of weeks.
|Teaching myself to basket weave crochet
|Fatty Bums admiring my new knitting bag
|The nicest shop bought biccies I've tried in a while
|Finished my basket weave crocheted cushion
|Found a box of Vienetta in the freezer I didn't know was there!
|Chocolate cake in a sandwich shaped tin
|Teeny weeny pom poms
|Rediscovered an old favourite
Normal service may resume shortly, I'm not sure yet. I'm quite liking taking a break from it all and pootling about doing nothing in particular.

So, don't judge me for these purchases! I already returned a couple of items because I have a duplicate from a previous purchase and/or its twin has been stashed away in my closet. And others have turned out to be a disappointment or I just wanted my money back because buying into the label wasn't worth it. Don't forget to check out the video!
♥ My husband and I are going to a beer convention tonight with a few friends. I figured I'd be DD since I'm not a heavy drinker. But later realized it'd be pointless for me to go if I go as DD. So tonight we'll be sipping on beers from around the world. Cheers to Beerfest!
♥ I'm constantly searching for a makeup vanity for my new house. I've stumbled upon different kinds from a simple desk to very ornate ones that are over the top. I want one that has a decent size mirror, a drawer under the table and maybe a side drawer so I don't have to purchase a lot of storage units. Where can I find a decent vanity???
♥ I'm rooting for the Baltimore Ravens this weekend!!!

Registered Charity No: 1146459 (England) Updated: 14th February 2018
The Music Society was delighted to welcome the return of young cellist George Wilkes to the Young Musicians' Evening in October. George, who is a Music Scholar at Warwick School and now studying for GSCEs, has played for the Society a number of times and the audience were therefore able to see how he has developed as a musician and performer since he first came to us. Despite his young years, he plays with great sensitivity and ever growing maturity and we will be watching as he undoubtedly goes from strength to strength in the future.
Superbly supported by professional pianist, Lynn Arnold, who had given us such a wonderful solo performance in September, George's programme of music was a delight with cello and piano in total harmony. It included Vivaldi's Cello Sonata no 6 in B flat major, Gustav Holst's Invocation and Rachmaninov's wonderful Vocalise. The audience savoured the entire performance and once again appreciated the talent of this young man.

President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner has signed a bill that will nationalize oil in Argentina. This will align oil interests with the interests of the country of Argentina.
From Reuters: The Chamber of Deputies voted 207-32 in favor of expropriating YPF, clearing the way for President Cristina Fernandez to sign the bill into law. The Senate last week approved the measure by a similarly overwhelming margin.
Citing Brazilian oil giant Petrobras as an example, the president ultimately announced the introduction of a bill on April 16, 2012, for the partial renationalisation of YPF: the state would purchase a 51% share, with the national government controlling 51% of this package and ten provincial governments receiving the remaining 49%.
The company remained the largest in its sector in Argentina despite declining production, operating 52% of the nation's refinery capacity in three facilities and 1,600 filling stations. Its sales of gasoline and other motor fuels totaled 12.15 billion liters (3.21 billion gallons) in 2011, 57% of the national market in these.
Are citizens from Argentina in favor the bill that passed for nationalization of oil? According to The New York Times report, they are very much in favor. In fact, they want to see 100% nationalization of oil, instead of the 51%.
"They should expropriate 100 percent, not just a part of it," said Fernando Solanas, a congressman and filmmaker who belongs to an opposition party. "Oil is a public interest."

As an ARLA Propertymark member, you'll already have a process in place to ensure this is done properly for each new tenancy, but in a busy private rental market what happens when letting agents are subjected to changes, during the tenancy, such as acquisitions, mergers or even changes to the management status?
Protect deposits as soon as possibleWhen a letting agent/landlord and tenant are agreeing the terms for letting a property, there is likely to be a delay between the initial discussions and the signing of a formal tenancy agreement. It is important to be aware that any sums relating to the tenancy deposit should be registered correctly and the appropriate documentation served within 30 days of the deposit funds being received by the landlord/agent.
Bear in mind, if you take a holding deposit, which becomes part of the tenancy deposit, this 30 day period begins from the day the holding deposit is converted to a tenancy deposit.
TDS recommends protecting a tenancy deposit as soon as possible to avoid problems further down the line. This is particularly important during times of change for a letting agent; once a deposit is correctly protected, you have complied with your obligations and therefore you no longer have to worry about the 30 day deadline or the possibility of missing it during any upheaval.
If the 30 day deadline is missed, the tenant can claim that you did not adhere to the regulations. If they then then decides to pursue this through court, you could be fined between one and three times the deposit and you may not be able to rely on notices to end the tenancy
Whilst it is important that landlords are aware that it is ultimately their responsibility to ensure the tenancy deposit is protected correctly, agents also have a duty to comply with legislation. You should ensure you meet your responsibilities for protecting deposits on both managed and non-managed properties.
What if your landlord moves to non-managed?Some landlords decide to stop using a letting agent during the term of a tenancy, in order to manage the tenancy themselves. If this happens, you should not release the tenancy deposit funds to the landlord until they have evidence that it has been correctly protected in a tenancy deposit scheme.
The TDS Custodial scheme allows members to transfer deposits between memberships making the transfer process quick and simple. With the TDS Insured scheme, the landlord will be issued a certificate which can be shown to their agent as proof of protection.
What if an agency acquires another property portfolio?If your agency acquires a portfolio of properties, it is important to establish where these deposits are protected. With TDS, a transfer of the tenancy deposits can easily be facilitated allowing all your registrations to sit under one roof.
About TDSTenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS) is a government approved scheme for the protection of tenancy deposits; TDS offers both Insured and Custodial protection and also provides fair adjudication for disputes that arise over the tenancy deposits that we protect.TDS Insured Scheme: where a TDS member can hold the tenancy deposits as stakeholder during the term of the tenancy.
TDS Custodial Scheme: where TDS hold the deposit for the duration of the tenancy.

EGI-INSPIRE: Building the digital European Research Area from the ground up
The European Grid Infrastructure (EGI) offers scientists and researchers borderless access to distributed computing infrastructures.
Scientific research today is no longer conducted within national boundaries – the huge amount of scientific data from computing simulations and instruments in international facilities means that scientists are becoming increasingly dependent on cross-border distributed computing and storage resources for the large-scale analysis of data.
The EGI-INSPIRE project aimed to establish a sustainable European Grid Infrastructure (EGI) by bringing together National Grid Initiatives (NGIs) and other organisations across the EU. It was a collaborative effort involving more than 50 institutions.
