Really impressed by the full car service provided by Anees auto centre, totally professional. Must say Mr Anees is very experienced and guides you back, m coming bk to sort out other issues with my car as i can easily trust them. Well done n keep up the service
Quality honest guys, I am their regular from now on and will bring friends and family too.
Fast service. Honest opinion. Door delivery.
I Had my Cambelt and water pump changed, the best price I could find local to me, overall amazing value! highly recommended. Great service, professional, explained all the detail. Will come back for servicing and MOT in few months
Great service, professional, explained all the detail, showed real care for the work he was doing, and changed my light bulb as well. That is going above and beyond for the customer, will be recommending for sure
I was very pleased with this garage and would certainly recommend and use them again. I found them to be honest and competitively priced. They were also polite, friendly and not in the least pushy. Two small problems occurred and not only were these resolved extremely promptly but l also received some money off my bill. I left them thinking l would trust them completely.
We arrived at 08.30 with our Ford c-max for a new clutch we were told it would be ready for 5pm very reasonable price as per quote and a good job done car ready on time will use this garage again thanks guys
Had car to go through Mot as had failed previously, needed two rear tyres changed and rear cluster brake lights shorting and brake pads. Car passed Mot handed over £280. Did this in January, my previous tyre had a small puncture which I had to re inflate every 2 weeks. I went on holiday for 3 weeks in April and noticed the tyre flat. So I pumped it up again and ever since I've had to do it every week now, took it back and the guy who took my money did not seem interested. I have checked the light cluster and that is still not working so obviously my car is legal. Please don't use these guys.
I had the clutch replaced at this garage and this was completed successfully as the car seems fine so far. However, I have also asked for A/C recharge and they were not able to complete the job, they have advised that the EIC condenser has a leak and needs replacement. I have been charged £20 for this job even though my AC still does not work. Was agreed with Sam that he will call me the next day to provide a quote for the condenser replacement, he did not bother to call me back at all. Also they have not re-filled the engine coolant after completing the works, had to buy new coolant on my way home. Not very professional garage overall, had to call several times to get updates for collection time and did not even get response.
very pleased with the service
Brooklands done a fantastic job to my car, they were very easy to deal with and collected and dropped back my car at the exact times we had schedule. I would highly recommend. The price was very competitive as well.
I can't recommend them highly enough. They came and took the car and delivered it back very quickly and the job itself was wonderful work. They were more than helpful and very polite and kept me completely informed at every stage. Absolutely brilliant service.
Very professional
Absolutely amazing service and quality of the finished product. My car had far more damage than anticipated, however Brooklands Motor Body Shop kept the price as low as possible, which I'm so thankful for. They even picked my car and dropped it off for me. This indicates a top service. The car looks as good as new. I would highly recommend this garage to anyone looking for both accident repair and any car body work done. Very happy! Would definitely come back to them again. Thank you
This company is extremely good. I cannot even tell my car had a dent and scratch. It looks like new! I highly recommend them.
Marcus was really helpful, even helped with the purchase of the part.
very good service
Marcus is one of the most professional and courteous people i have had dealings with. He did a full examination and discussed the options available. Excellent service in my opinion Al
Excellent Service.Very reasonable repair cost.Very sincere and pleasant.. After a long time I found a mechanic,I can fully trust. Dr Raj Singh
I found the garage to be very helpful and accommodating. I had a annual service and MOT and a reduced MOT as i had the annual service. All done within a couple of hours and they accept card on site. Danielle on the phone was very pleasant and informative and would be more than happy to use the company again.
I would highly recommend The Garage Walton. The price paid was cheaper than they originally quoted and substantially cheaper than quotes from other garages. Repairs were carried out in timely fashion and I was well informed throughout. Great customer service! Will certainly be taking my car back there in future.
Interim service completed on New shape A3 s Line no problems, £65 cheaper than Audi Walton.
havn't used them.. didn't provided prompt response.
The best garage I've ever experienced. Friendly atmosphere, everything was explained. Clutch replecement done within a day!! Quality services and eqiupment. As well as additional jobs done (cool liquid top up and reclear the engine) fee free. I am very impressed and really recommend this garage!. You will not find better garage in all London, so grab you phone and call them now. Thanks, Matti

- (Description copypasted with small revisions to save time, lol...)
Ok, if your name is Mario and you cosplay, and a friend of yours presents you with a Mario hat as a gift...what're you gonna do?
Do the Mario, of course:-P
I had realized once I got the hat that all I'd need is to bum a pair of red UFO pants off a friend, get a red puffy vest (originally a red hooded vest of some sort), some fingerless white gloves, and BAM...instant rave variation of Mario. Trouble was, I was kinda blond for most of 2005, so that idea had to hold until that changed. 0_0;
And so it did, and after being able to grab all the aforementioned items (and running a test at a rave in January), I went for it in 2007. The idea was a simple rave variation on the classic Mario costume: instead of a goofy-ass moustache, a semi-trendy beard, and instead of short hair, long hair in a ponytail w/ two large bangs hanging down the front.
Suffice to say, I expected to wear this only for a short time at Katsucon '06, but given that I had no room left in my bag and needed something that came close to normal clothing, I basically wore this as my "plainclothes" for Friday and some of Sunday. ^_^; Hopefully I can add the "Do the Mario" slogan to the back of the vest for the next time I do the costume...(EDIT: I never did because I got cheap and never bought UFO pants. I also got stopped straightening my hair and got too lazy to keep going to raves. Oops. ;-P)
Amusingly, I did this costume for fun at a rave the previous month, and it went over well since people really identify "Mario" even when done as a variation. Which probably explains the fun I had with my next variant of "the Mario"...XD

My Dh thinks it's time for our 9 month old DD to sleep in her own bed in her own room. She still nurses twice a night and I try to explain to him that I get no sleep when I have tried this. She wakes up even more when she is alone, and he is to the point that he says we should let her CIO. I absolutely REFUSE to let that happen. I don't know what to do. I think he feels I don't have much of an argument because I don't work, so I think he seems to think I can just sleep during the day. What he doesn't seem to get is that when she sleeps that's when I can actually get stuff done! I will probably loose this battle but I want to make the transition as easy as possible, any suggestions?
No announcement yet.
My DH is ready for our baby to be out of our bed, but I'm not :(

My DH is ready for our baby to be out of our bed, but I'm not :(Tags: None
I feel for you; I had the same issue with my husband just a few months ago. Although we did try a version of sleep training (at my husband's insistence and against mine), it did not work and actually made things worse, as my DS now absolutely refuses to go into his crib for any length of time. We ended up compromising by putting a double mattress on the floor in our spare room. This way, DS has his own bed and spends the first part of the night there alone, and if he wakes up later in the night (which he always does!), I go in there and spend the rest of the night sleeping with him. This has worked great for us, as now my husband is able to sleep without being woken up by the baby, I get sleep because I'm in bed with the baby, and the baby is happy because I'm there with him if he needs me. I know that my husband would prefer that DS sleeps alone, but I know he'll do this in his own time, and in the meantime, this situation is a good compromise. Good luck!
I took your advice and discussed it with my husband. It seemed reasonable enough and I didn't mind the compromise at all. When I discussed it with my husband he confessed that he actually did like having DD in our bed. Our friends and family have been giving us a hard time about and I think he was giving into the pressure even though he didn't want too. I'm glad I stuck with it even though people told me not to because now the 3 of us are happy!!
My husband does the same thing every once in a while, you just hear so much of societies pressures, telling you what you should do. Our daughter is 14 mo. and still in our bed, Granted now we need to add another mattress because she is taking up the whole bed, but my husband admits that he is really happy she is still in our bed and wouldn't want it any other way. I think sometimes the Dad's need more support for AP then we do, they get bombarded with societies expectations all day long, and they don't always have the same info at their fingertips that we do.
Thank you so much for this conversation ladies. My DD is only 3 months and DH is already feeling the pressure to move her to her crib and own room. I'm NOT ready in the least to have her leave our room (she has bad reflux and spends most of the night in a specialty bed next to me) but DH has been pushing to move her over the past couple weeks. DD doesn't take up any room in our bed but I think DH just feels like our sleeping arrangement is "unusual" because all DD's baby friends are sleeping in cribs in their own rooms already... Think I will sit down and talk with DH and see what he's feeling. Thanks again ladies!
I hope things have worked out for you by now, but if not you could mention the fact that babies are at most risk for SIDS in the first 6 months and that is greatly reduced just by having the baby sleep in the same room. I hope it works out, it's so hard when there's a disagreement like that!

Go to summer flats!
"I love these shoes. They are so comfortable, and the touch of gold woven into the band gives them just enough oomph to be dress up-able. When I first tried them on, they seemed tight, but they quickly stretched out to fit my foot. They do seem to be a little cheaply made, and I think they probably aren't made to be worn daily, but I will wear these until they fall apart."

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
Should Emery County pursue a right of way for trails on SITLA land? Mark H. Williams presented the idea of obtaining right of ways for the 27.3 mile poker ride trail near Cedar Mountain and also for a trail above Huntington of 15.9 miles which continues around to the pageant site. Williams talked about legislation which passed in 2004-HB220 which authorized the transfer of $1.50 of each ATV registration fee into a land grant for SITLA lands. This money is to be used by SITLA to improve recreational opportunities on SITLA lands and mitigate impacts from ATV use.
The county could obtain the right of way using the funds set aside and the purchase would be free to the county. The question was raised why the OHV club didn't apply for the right of way and Williams said the club would have to pay for the right of way because the public funds which are available cannot be used for a private entity.
Commissioner Ira Hatch said that if the county were to obtain the right of way then the county is responsible for the maintenance and upkeep on the trail or road. Bryan Torgerson, the SITLA representative said that funds in the past have been used for cattle guards and some maintenance on the road or trail and possibly the fund could help with the maintenance.
Williams said that OHVs are going all over out where the poker ride is held. The OHV club obtains a special permit to use the poker ride twice each year. The club cannot help with signage or help to delineate trails because they do not have a right of way on the trail. For this reason they are asking for the county to obtain the right of way. Williams said if they could mark the trail it would help alleviate some of the problems with OHVs going off the trails.
A right of way would protect in case of a land sale or exchange and would still allow the county to keep that right of way.
Sherrel Ward, lands council member wondered what the down side of obtaining the right of way could be. It was mentioned that it could increase usage on the trails and the county would be liable for maintenance and repairs.
Williams said if the county had the right of way then the OHV club could have the state parks trail cat come down and help build and maintain the trails.
Ray Petersen, public lands director, said the county has a hard time maintaining the roads currently on the county system and adding more could present a problem.
Floyd Johnson from the BLM was asked if the Bureau of Land Management maintains their trails. Johnson answered the BLM doesn't take the time to maintain their trails.
Torgerson mentioned again the fund could help maintain the trail using the OHV funding.
Williams said the OHV club contributed $105,000 for trail maintenance on the forest recently.
Commissioner Drew Sitterud said part of the road at the poker ride is a RS-2477 road and since that portion already belongs to the county an easement is not needed for that portion.
Petersen wondered if SITLA could invest the funds in the trails if they (SITLA) still owned the right of way? Torgerson said he would look into that.
No one currently enforces trespasses on SITLA land, with just a couple of enforcement officers statewide.
Dickson Huntington, public lands council said there is virtually no enforcement on any of the public lands for OHV offenses.
Tory Killian, lands council suggested forming a committee to go over the proposal and look at the advantages and disadvantages to the county obtaining these right of ways.
Commissioner Gary Kofford agreed that the plan has merit and should be looked into and debated. A vote was taken of the council members to see if the council was in favor of forming a committee to look at the question of the county obtaining the right of ways. The vote passed 5-3 to form a committee.

Should doctors treat asymptomatic strep throat?
Occasionally, I see patients who have received throat swabs for strep that have come back positive ... even if they have no signs or symptoms of pharyngitis.
In this situation, there are two main actions a physician may take (I am biased toward one):
1) Prescribe antibiotics until throat cultures are normal.
2) Do nothing.
Personally, if a patient is without throat symptoms and has no history of rheumatic fever or kidney damage, I would not have even bothered obtaining a strep test. What for?
Also, a person can be a carrier for strep without suffering any health problems. As such, even if the strep test is positive, but if the patient has no symptoms, I do not recommend treatment (which again begs the question of why bother getting a strep test if no treatment will be recommended regardless of the test result).
I would go so far even to say follow-up cultures are not necessary after antibiotic treatment for strep throat if a patient does not have any more symptoms and exam is normal, which is why I find it surprising when children and adolescent patients receive multiple courses of antibiotics when they feel perfectly fine, but have received treatment just because a strep test came back positive.
Of course ... that's just my opinion as I do acknowledge that there's another school of thought which supports antibiotic treatment of all strep positive cultures with follow-up cultures to ensure eradication.

Doctors should not be screening or treating for strep in asymptomatic patients. I see this quite frequently, a child will be diagnosed with strep and treated. Consquently, their parents are swabbed due to the contact with their child despite lack of symptoms. Many of these people are clearly colonized and then subsequently treated. Oh, did I mention that I am an allergist who then needs to explain their drug reaction to a drug they probably didn't really need?
- said...
Can you please explain in a little bit more detail as to why asymptomatic strep is not harmful to the carrier and to other people in his or her surroundings?
There was a case of asymptomatic strep in our day care and the owner is pushing for everybody to get tested. I, however, feel somewhat reluctant to do so - it just seems strange and illogical to test and potentially even treat somebody with no visible problem. but I'd like more hard evidence. Thank you.
- chris allen thomas said...
It is my understanding that a strep infection can damage heart valves over time. If this is true, then the strep infection may not be truly asymptomatic.
- Kurt Habelt said...
I am not a doctor - but this is the most ludicrous thing I ever heard.
If a person has asymptomatic strep throat then they STILL have strep throat, correct? And that strep can be transmitted to others - correct?
By not treating an asymptomatic strep throat, you are exposing others to risk - especially if the carrier is a popular young man or woman who is engaged in kissing various people over the course of a year.
It seems to me that a doctor would feel LUCKY to discover an asymptomatic carrier "by chance" and would do everything possible to stop the spread of strep.
Whatever happened to "do no harm?"
- said...
I am NOT a doctor but I am a parent of a nine year old female. She had no visible symptoms. What she did have I identified it as 'weird cold symptoms. She was taken in before, was swabbed...the test came back negative. She went through another 'round' of the same symptoms. This time she developed blood in her urine. Ugly dark, blue-red, rust, tea colored urine from nowhere...she had nothing but a 'sore throat'. Swab, urine,bloodwork in that order from April 30th until present day...If doctors don't order antibiotics, order bloodwork...probably more than once check back in with patient then order penecillan....most certainly DON'T DO NOTHING!

My preschool-aged son has had a step test come back positive while he was asymptomatic. His therapist suggested we get him tested as he had a sudden behavioral shift (very emotional, started lashing out physically). Once he started antibiotics the behavior issues decreased dramatically and were fully resolved within a couple of days. Ear infections can sometimes have the same impact. So just because someone isn't displaying the typical symptoms, or in expected ways, doesn't mean the infection isn't doing anything negative to the patient.

Law of the Sea: Statement by H.E. Herman Schaper at the commemoration of 30 years UNCLOS
Statement by H.E. Herman Schaper,
Permanent Representative of
the Kingdom of the Netherlands to the United Nations
At the commemeoration of 30 year UNCLOS
New York, 8 June 2012
Excellencies, Distinguished delegates, Ladies and Gentlemen,
It is with pleasure that I take the floor today to address you on the special occasion of the thirtieth anniversary of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. This truly unique document, which has no equal in international law in terms of the complexity and diversity of the issues it governs, provides for a well-balanced legal order for the world's oceans, and all human uses thereof.
Throughout history, the oceans have served as a place where States meet, and where their interests coincide. They have been the scene of long-standing traditions of fishing and maritime trade, but also of naval warfare and attempts at appropriation by States of parts of maritime space. Aware of the importance of peaceful ocean use for international transport and commerce, in his Mare Liberum Grotius famously defended the notion that the oceans cannot be appropriated by anyone, and that every State has a right of access to the oceans and its natural resources. Since the publication of his work, the freedom of the seas has been the guiding principle of ocean governance.
As population increased, however, the negative effects of excessive human use of the oceans became more apparent. Ever larger fishing fleets put pressure on fish stocks, resulting in the collapse of certain targeted species. Increased industrialization and the growing size and number of merchant vessels led to the marine environment becoming severely polluted.
Seeking to address these issues, the Third Conference on the Law of the Sea produced the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea after lengthy negotiations. The Conference succeeded in harbouring broad support for the wording of the Convention, as was witnessed by the 119 States that signed it on the first day it was open for signature.
Since its entry into force, on 16 November 1994, the Convention has gained almost universal participation. As of today, 162 States have ratified or acceded to it approaching universal adherence and many of its provisions have attained the status of customary international law. The obligations arising from these provisions have thereby become incumbent on parties and non-parties alike.
Subsequently, the Convention's provisions on deep seabed mining and fishing have been complemented by the 1994 Agreement on the Implementation of Part XI, as well as by the 1995 Fish Stocks Agreement.
The Convention's binding system for the peaceful settlement of disputes provides for numerous possibilities for States to settle their maritime disputes through litigation or arbitration by the International Court of Justice, numerous arbitral tribunals, or the purpose-built International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea. In the fifteen years since its inception, 19 cases have been submitted for trial to ITLOS, signifying its importance as an international court specialized in adjudicating the often complex questions arising out of varying interpretations of the law of the sea.
Another institution established pursuant to UNCLOS, the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf, has seen a growing number of requests for recommendations. While the Commission's workload may be of growing concern to States Parties, it also serves to illustrate the interest States have in establishing the limits of their continental shelf in conformity with the rules laid down by UNCLOS. I wish the newly elected Commission success with its important work.
Often dubbed a 'constitution for the oceans', for the past 30 years UNCLOS has served as the foundation upon which the elaborate legal regime pertaining to the oceans and all uses thereof has been built. Whereas UNCLOS can remain to function unamended, the legal regime it supports needs to develop constantly in response to emerging ocean uses or new threats to the marine environment.
Particularly with respect to the latter, it is widely recognized that the international law of the sea will have to develop rapidly, preferably through an additional implementing agreement, so as to prevent the degradation of marine ecosystems, especially those situated partly or wholly beyond the limits of national jurisdiction, which may potentially result in irreparable harm and the loss of marine biodiversity.
With this in mind, we can appreciate and celebrate UNCLOS for what it is: a well-balanced, comprehensive framework addressing all areas of the oceans and all human uses thereof, which, due to its structure, allows for the steady development of an international legal regime for the oceans that is suitable for serving the needs of future generations.
Thank you.

The Amish: Shunned centers on seven people who have been shunned as well as voices from the Amish community defending the practice. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid were emblematic figures that became legend. The Rise and Fall of Penn Station is about a railroad company's effort to conquer Manhattan.
Coming in January!
Check out what's coming up in January 2014 on American Experience. Watch this three-minute video in which our Executive Producer Mark Samels details our new films premiering in January, and read the synopses below. (Our Coming in February video is coming soon!)
Gettysburg Address @ 150
Calling all history buffs: We need your help this week -- and your videos! This month marks the 150th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's delivery of the Gettysburg Address. Help us honor the occasion by sending us a video of you, your students, or your child reciting the Address. We need your videos by NEXT WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 13!! If your video is selected, it will be one of many featured on the American Experience website and social media sites.
A Retrospective
This fall American Experience is celebrating 25 years on the air. We have celebrated with a staff spirit week (we each dressed up as our favorite American Experience documentary) and we just finished a Best Film Ever bracket (winner: Abraham & Mary Lincoln, though so many people complained that their favorite was not included that we may just have to do another!)
To date, we have produced 287 documentaries, over 399 hours and 428 nights of original television programming. In this 3-minute video retrospective, our longtime editor has collected some of our best, most moving, and most controversial film moments.
We're officially 25 years old!
Over the past 25 years, American Experience has produced close to 300 films and nearly 400 hours of television. If you were to sit down in front of the television tonight and decided to watch one of our films each night, it would take you nearly a YEAR to consume our entire body of work (probably longer, because we have several five and six-part films)! Which one would you start with first? Which of our 287 films (and counting) do you tell your friends and family they MUST see first? We certainly couldn't choose, but somehow we whittled it down to a much more manageable 16, representing the different genres of films we've produced since 1988. Now YOU can help us determine which AMERICAN EXPERIENCE is the best by voting in our Best of AMERICAN EXPERIENCE bracket. Each round lasts four days, and by October 18, we will have a champion! Vote now!

Why Promotional Products are Effective Marketing Tools
There are many reasons that promotional products are fantastic marketing tools. It can be very difficult to market your business, especially if you have a lot of competitors for your product. Using promotional products can help to improve your image and your business reputation if they are used correctly. It is always important to do your research so you can find out what promotional products will work best for your business.
Here are the top 6 reasons to use promotional products:
o Bring attention to your company. Nowadays when people get a flyer on the street, they usually throw it in the trash right away. Who wouldn't in our busy lives what good is a piece of paper? This is why promotional products are much better than ads and flyers. Your customer will never throw away a pen or T-shirt they get, if it is of good quality, because they will use them over and over again.
o Commercials, advertisements and billboards are good ways to advertise, but they are not very original and most people are sick of commercials anyways. Promotional products are more practical and much more interesting. Fancy Pens, reusable material bags to carry all kind of things in, bright colorful t-shirts, warm stylish hoodies and practical baseball caps, are material items that customers see and use every day.
o Using an interesting design or a catchy slogan is a great way for people to recognize your company's brand and what better way to get your brand out there then splashing it across a t-shirt or key chain or lanyard for the whole world to see.
o Customers love free gifts, especially if they are of good quality. They will tell their friends about the product they got from you for free and brag about how great the item is. This leadsto word of mouth about your business spreading so much faster and in the endthese results bring about brand awareness. Brand awareness means more customers and more customers mean more revenue for your company.
o Another effective marketing tool is motivation. You should give promotional products not only to customers, to motivate them to come back and buy from your company again, but also to your employees. This helps to promote a feeling of belonging to a team but also can be used as a gift for a job well done. This can motivate employees to work harder and be more loyal to your company.read more information in our latest blog post.
o You can help raise money for charity. Donating promotional products to a charity is a win win situation. Given as a gift or sold at an auction type event can raise money for a school or charity. Donating things like T-shirts or hoodies to a shelter or something school means you are not only helping someone in need of clothing but you are promoting your company and also showing you are a company interested in the community. Customers remember companies that are generous and concerned and tend to have loyalty to those companies for their generosity.
Promotional products are a great long term marketing tool, if you choose the right one for your company. A quality product like T-shirts, hoodies, baseball caps, pens and key chains;which can be used over and over again and can last for years. Then this means long term exposure for you company's brand.http://www.marketing-made-simple.com/articles/promotional-items.htm#.UwkGjIXnZMI

Stonehenge in southern England ranks among the world's most iconic archaeological sites and one of its greatest enigmas. The megalithic circle on Salisbury Plain inspires awe and fascination—but also intense debate some 4,600 years after it was built by ancient Britons who left no written record.
The monument's mysterious past has spawned countless tales and theories. According to folklore, Stonehenge was created by Merlin, the wizard of Arthurian legend, who magically transported the massive stones from Ireland, where giants had assembled them. Another legend says invading Danes put the stones up, and another theory says they were the ruins of a Roman temple. Modern-day interpretations are no less colorful: some argue that Stonehenge is a spacecraft landing area for aliens, and even more say it's a giant fertility symbol in the shape of female genitalia.
Archaeological investigation of the site dates back to the 1660s, when it was first surveyed by antiquarian John Aubrey. Aubrey wrongly credited Stonehenge to the much later Celts, believing it to be a religious center presided over by Druid priests.
Centuries of fieldwork since show the monument was more than a millennium in the making, having started out 5,000 years ago as a circular earthen bank and ditch. A complicated pattern of wooden posts was replaced in about 2600 B.C. by 80 dolerite bluestones from Wales that were rearranged at least three times once the larger sarsen stones were added several hundred years later. These huge sandstone blocks, each weighing around 25 tons, were transported some 19 miles (30 kilometers) to create a continuous outer circle with five trilithons (pairs of uprights with a lintel on top) forming a horseshoe within. It's been estimated that it took well over 20 million hours to construct Stonehenge.
Holy Site or Scientific Observatory?
Modern debate over the monument's meaning has two main camps: those who see it as a holy site, and others who believe it represents a scientific observatory. Both camps base their theories on the site's celestial influence, with alignments to the sun and moon taken as evidence of rituals linked to the changing seasons and the summer and winter solstices. Alternatively, alignments identified particularly with stars point to a megalithic calendar used for working out dates or to reflect or predict astronomical events such as solar eclipses.
Recently a radical new theory has emerged—that Stonehenge served as a "prehistoric Lourdes" where people came to be healed. This idea revolves around the smaller bluestones, which, researchers argue, must have been credited with magical powers for them to have been floated, dragged, and hauled 145 miles (233 kilometers) from west Wales. A team lead by Tim Darvill of Bournemouth University, U.K., announced in 2005 that it had located the quarry the bluestones came from, only for another study to suggest the stones had made the journey earlier, powered naturally by ice age glaciers. Excavations at Stonehenge co-directed by Darvill in April 2008 may yet bolster a hypothesis also based on a number of Bronze Age skeletons unearthed in the area that show signs of bone deformities.
Competing to solve the enduring prehistoric puzzle is Sheffield University's Mike Parker Pearson, co-leader of the Stonehenge Riverside Project, which is partly funded by the National Geographic Society. Latest discoveries by the project team appear to support Parker Pearson's claim that Stonehenge was a center for ancestor worship that was linked by the River Avon and two ceremonial avenues to a matching wooden circle at nearby Durrington Walls. The two circles with their temporary and permanent structures represented, respectively, the domains of the living and the dead, according to Parker Pearson.
"Stonehenge isn't a monument in isolation," he says. "It is actually one of a pair—one in stone, one in timber. The theory is that Stonehenge is a kind of spirit home to the ancestors."

Sale claimed their first Aviva Premiership win of the season at the eighth attempt as they beat London Irish 21-9 at City of Salford Stadium.
Sale claimed their first Aviva Premiership win of the season at the eighth attempt as they beat London Irish 21-9 at City of Salford Stadium.
The Sharks were deserved winners after scoring the only two tries of the night in the first half through Nick Macleod and Johnny Leota, and while they remain bottom of the table, victory moves them to within four points of the Irish and Welsh Exiles.
Former England fly-half Danny Cipriani played a key role for Sale, setting up both first-half tries, as well as adding a conversion. Irish's response before the break came through a penalty from Ian Humphreys.
Humphreys kicked two more three-pointers in the second period to reduce the deficit, but two late Cipriani penalties sealed the victory.
Despite a nervy opening, solid set-piece work allowed the Sharks to gain a foothold in the match and after they had stolen an Irish lineout, the Sharks drove impressively and forced Irish to infringe, with Macleod edging the home team ahead with eight minutes gone.
It seemed to settle them down and they added to that lead soon after when fly-half Cipriani sent the full-back over.
London Irish did reduce the arrears when Humphreys kicked three points, but it was the Sharks who continued to threaten when Leota charged through the defensive line.
The scorers:
For Sale Sharks:
Tries: Macleod, Leota
Con: Cipriani
Pens: Macleod, Cipriani 2
For London Irish:
Pens: Humphreys 3
Sale Sharks: 15 Nick Macleod, 14 Mark Cueto, 13 Johnny Leota, 12 Sam Tuitupou, 11 Cameron Shepherd, 10 Danny Cipriani, 9 Cillian Willis, 8 Andy Powell 7 David Seymour (c), 6 Richie Vernon, 5 Fraser McKenzie, 4 Richie Gray, 3 Tony Buckley, 2 Tommy Taylor, 1 Ross Harrison.

Logan Leverett has come along way.
In that time, the former Harrisburg High School standout has learned a lot of things. More notably are the things that can make him a better player on the ball field.
Leverett said the strides he made the past two years, while playing at Southeastern Illinois Community College and this past year for head coach Jeremy Irlbeck are the main reasons why he can now call Illinois State University home.
Leverett signed a National Letter of Intent to continue his baseball playing career recently and admitted it caught him by surprise.
Leverett gained interest from ISU and Marshall University, but his visit to Bloomington was one that sold him immediately.
"This all happened very fast," Leverett said. "But it has been one of the most exciting experiences in my life."
Leverett tipped his hat to his coaching staff at SIC, for setting him up with this opportunity, but admits he put in a lot of hard work himself.
"I think my maturity and development as a player is where I have made the most strides," he said. "I'm seeing the ball better and my mindset is just so much better. I think I've always had the talent, but the mindset hasn't always been there. Now, it is."
Leverett led the Falcons with a .355 batting average this past season. In 141 at-bats, he compiled 50 hits, which tied him for most of the team, with 32 singles, 11 doubles, two triples, five home runs and 26 RBIs.
Irlbeck said without having knowledge of what Leverett did a year ago, one thing was for certain, his home run numbers may be down, but his average is certainly up.
"That's one of the things that we worked on," Irlbeck said. "We worked on approach. We worked on a two-strike approach, a going back up the middle approach. I think it paid off for him.
"The numbers will tell you prior to me coming here that he was a very aggressive swinger. Maybe he really didn't know the strike zone, maybe didn't have a great approach, but no doubt that he's got pop. He's a big, strong kid with tremendous bat speed."
Leverett said that the dream of playing for a Division 1 college is something he has always had and is excited about the next stage of his career.
"I think the words of the Illinois State coaches were 'I'm a very good ballplayer', but they are going to 'make me great'".
Irlbeck added that having a player like Leverett represent not only southern Illinois, but SIC at Illinois State is something he is very proud of.
"They (Illinois State) think he can be a guy for them and that means the world to me. Not only is he a great kid, but he's a reflection of our program. He's a great kid and his baseball IQ really is unbelievable, but coming from a baseball school like Harrisburg, that shouldn't be a surprise."

Skip to comments.Official Request byCongressmen to See Obama's Birth Certificate-Straw Which Breaks This Camel's Back
Posted on 12/04/2009 4:47:27 PM PST by cycle of discernment
Political analysis by John Charlton
Obama's presidential campaign was hailed for its forceful imagery, but after 11 months the public has come to understand the undisputed facts about him, don't fit the requirements of the U.S. Constitution.
(Dec. 4, 2009) Georgias representative in the U.S. House, Nathan Deal announced in early November that he and 10 House colleagues were going to sign a joint letter, asking Obama to publicly reveal his birth certificate,.
The simple enough question was rebuffed and ridiculed by the Main Stream Media, and even the Savannah Morning News, as if a birth certificate was some sort of private journal or diary of past affairs.
The mere fact that the liberals and progressives ridiculed Nathan Deal whose only interest is to quiet the nation shows that they have no substantive reason to oppose the request. It further shows that they know that Obama cannot oblige Deal and his co-signatories, for in Democratic circles nothing is a secret.
What will Obama say to Nathan Deal? The answer must come soon. Deal said that he was to send his letter after Thanksgiving. Any delay on the part of Barack Hussein Obama to oblige Deal, will only further erode his political influence in Washington, D.C..
Obama has been effectively checkmated by the concerted effort of public support, publicized lawsuits on the eligibility question, publicity campaigns such as those of World Net Daily and Charles Kerchner to put the issue in the face of liberals on a constant basis, and blogs and bloggers the world over.
If Obama obliges him, then the online image of a Certificate of Live Birth (COLB) provided by his campaign will be proven a forgery, according to the consensus of opinion of citizens who have studied the images posted on the net and found some images of the allegedly same document, contain a HI State seal and some do not.
If Obama does refuses, however, it will only further confirm that he has something to hide.
Palins remark that it is a valid issue and Ogdens resignation as Deputy U.S. Attorney General in the same week, following the sending of Nathan Deals letter, appear to be diagnostic signs that the political establishment understands the risks and imminent crisis about to break. The publicity garnered by the testimony of the U.S. Marine, who goes by the nik, Race Bannon, only further tilt the Obama regime towards political implosion.
Even the pulse of Obamas political support on the net tells the tale: a lull and quiet among them posting comments at opposition blogs is noticeable. There remain only the violent, the perverse and the somewhat mad to carry on the cheers of Change, which were the mind numbing drum beat of the Obama for American campaign, just 14 months ago.
The political momentum of the nation now follows diverse roads to the same destination, and the resulting fireworks are going to be much brighter and invigorating than those of any Fourth of July in many a year!
CongressMEN. Plural.
Please, please, please, please, PLEASE! Let this be so!
bookmark to read later comments. Sounds vvverrry interrresting......
For later viewing
Deal is MY Congressman :)
Well said! and it will devastate the liberal agenda for decades to come!
What did you do, now?
Lucky you.
My congressmen are Boxer, Feinstein and Lofgren.
Ping to an article regarding a request from congressional representatives to see Obama's BC. Since he's been sworn into office, I bet he can invoke executive privilege. If they wanted to see proof, they should have asked for it before certifying the electoral vote. However, I don't think Cheney asked for or allowed objections as per the official certification process. I wonder if and how that would affect a ruling on whether or not he has to submit the BC.
We will see...John Charlton has been wrong in the past...so we'll see...I among many would love to see the implosion happen...soon this month...out of our WH in hand cuffs...
Nice to see a conservative GOP member with guts and the guts to defend the Constitution.
Please God!
Troll Ping.
There is a rule that pertains to lying.
"Never lie, but if you do.... never stop."
Obama will follow this rule, in that he will never stop.
I don't care how much heat is turned up over this BC stuff, he will stay silent or simply shine it on.
Let's get the present early, unwrap it...and see what is it.
Must be serious, troll horns are blaring
I have been holding my breath over this since the days of way back when you gave me a hard time over McCain's birth place. I think that was summer of 08 and here we are, almost 18 months later waiting for that $20 piece of paper.
Nevr in my wildest dreams did I think that our media and politicians would be so damn irresponsible.
Short of a wayback machine, how is this accomplished?
I predict Obama will never present his original long-form birth certificate.
My condolences! Mine is republican in NY - senators are Chuck U Schumer and Gigglebritches.
bookmarking along with prayers!
Then what?
Twenty bucks? Only cost me ten to get mine.
That is about an absolute certainty. It's going to have to be forced out of the state of Hawaii.
ping-post 10 is great!
Congratulations! My congressman, STEVE DRIEHAUS, FIRST CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT, OHIO IS A DIM PIECE OF $#!+!!!"
More like one of those old steam whistles that factories used to blow when it was time to go back to work.
Then because his father is a British subject, he is not constitutionally qualified to hold the office of president.
That's what.
Don't worry [/sarc] that's not going to happen. Need the long form and how it became into being.
So you're saying the birth certificate is completely irrelevant?
Is it just a red herring then?
So what if that is released and contains no irregularities?
Then what?
Nope. I'm saying that not only isn't he qualified to be president -or dog catcher- by his skills and career experience, he doesn't even meet the minimal Constitutional requirements for the job.
Can anyone confirm this story? Can anyone certify the source? I'd like to believe all of this but I'm a skeptic by nature. I don't even believe in man-made global warming. ;)
Executive privilege is a separation of powers concept, but only as it applies to the execution of executive power.
I suppose you can say that the Congressmen asking to see the President's birth documents is a separation of powers issue since they are in Congress and he is in the White House, but on the other hand Executive Privilege cannot be used to cover up crimes. And the Congress does have legitimate oversight responsibilities for Executive actions.
That is the main argument Leo Donofrio made about the COLB. Since it is out on the web, there is no legal reason for the State of Hawaii NOT to release the long form birth certificate.
The Democrats, specifically Rahm Emmanuel, has said "We own Hawaii." Which implies it ain't ever gon'na happen.
We can draw our own conclusions from that.
So what if it shows a witness said Obama was born in Hawaii - no doctor or not born in a hospital?
Then what?
I sense that you might not be completely happy with your rep.

|In response to Re: Relocating Piping under Floor
: you can notch the joists. An inch or so square will not substancially weaked the joist. Be sure to secure the pipes to the well up into the the notch and it would be wise to put a nail protector plate across each just to be sure you never try to drive a nail through a pipe. Building supply houses have them, and I'd mortise them in to keep the ceiling line even. You're only talking 4, so it wouldn't be major carpentery.
It is A-OK to notch the tops - drilling or cutting with a hole saw is much neater - BUT NEVER NOTCH or otherwise cut into the BOTTOM of any floor joist : small (non-sewer sized holes) can safely be placed in the top ONE-HALF of most floor joists ; just keep them seperated from each other by a reasonable amount (one small supply sized hole per height-equivalent spacing is very safe); same goes for electrical runs. / Marv
