To my knowledge nothing has been anounced yet. I am tor hoping for an s or RS version in the next couple of years. I don't expect it for next year as thats to early for an RS. I just hope they use some powerful engine that can keep up with an m3 for the price of £30. Such as a 2.7 Bi-Turbo or something like a twin turbo 3.2 which would be even nicer. Aslong as its turbo-charged I won't be bothered. TURBOS ARE THE BEST. Dave btw....there are some modified A3's known as RS's but not official Audi releases. Making it sound like media talk.
Am I wrong in thinking that S-Line is just a body kit, whereas an S "car" is a completely different model? In which case, I think there were some pictures that ScoTTy posted a few days ago which might be what you're after, Dean...
Yeah, S-line cars are cosmetically modified A series cars, not S series. Most of the A series have S-line options available AFAIK. Have you tried the audi.co.uk website for pictures?
In my opinion, I think your best off going your own way even though the S-Line package looks a good deal. The parts that I really drool over are the RS6 Alloys, the leather seats in blacks/white and thats it. I would want a body kit on as an extra.
Dave know where you are coming from. I dont want the gearbox so cant get the wheels. So ive ordered the Vortex Wheels at nearly £2500 !!!!! Roll on March !
Exactly, Wish have you seen the new images. Say if you haven't and I will post the links to you. Dave --> Got any pics of your car for me.
A word of advice for new car, get the new revised fog lamps which are now more sealed to prevent condensation. Make sure your windscreen wipers function right, as I have had my motor replaced because of a fault with them stopping and then going down slowly. Watch thr front spoiler its lower that you would think, Its been a close shave for me. Are you gettting xeonon headlights, thats the only Wish /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif I had at the moment..... Dave

Is psychotherapy a crutch?
I say hell no!
Really. That's what I said, at WEGO TV. Check out the video: Is Psychotherapy A Crutch?
postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety help for moms
Is psychotherapy a crutch?
I say hell no!
Really. That's what I said, at WEGO TV. Check out the video: Is Psychotherapy A Crutch?
Katherine Stone is the creator of this blog, and the founder and executive director of Postpartum Progress. She has been named a WebMD Health Hero, one of the fiercest women in America by More magazine, and one of the 15 most influential patient advocates to follow. She is a survivor of postpartum OCD.
Thank you so much for posting this. I had no idea how lucky I was to find a therapist that specializes in perinatal mood disorders. I thank my lucky stars every day as I fight through this depression and anxiety that I have a great therapist who can help me sort through all of this.
I agree that psychotherapy is not a crutch. In fact, Iam going to be a bit controversial by saying that everyone needs a bit of counseling to some extent in order to develop their emotional intelligence and resilience in order to prevent future problems. In Australia, Iam witnessing a very small movement towards building resilience through CBT principles in school age children, and I hope that this will become more prominent in our school policy in the future.
Here is an article that I wrote recently in my blog on this topic. Hope it this will bring a different perspective to "counseling" or "psychotherapy".
When I ask my patients what does the word "counseling" mean for them, these are some of their replies.
To help me solve problems
To help me learn about myself
To listen to me and support me
To teach me on how to solve problems
Sitting on a couch and talk about myself and my problems
Well, this is my take on what counseling is all about.
Counseling for me is in essence, about teaching people how to regulate their mind and their emotions. Most people are not even aware that they cannot regulate their mind, so in essence, their mind is controlling them. Think about it in this way.
Think of a time when you react to something, and you do not wish to react like that anymore. Were you able to stop that? Were you able to prevent that next time? If you can't, then your mind is controlling you to some extent.
So, the counseling process including CBT and ACT, is to help people understand their mind, its conditioning, why does it react the way it does, how to "recondition" the mind, and just as importantly, how to help the mind to accept the things that you cannot change. In essence, counseling helps you to become more "emotionally intelligent" and how to regulate your mind better. Hence, I believe that everyone needs this in order to live more fulfilling lives.
This process takes self awareness, knowledge, application of knowledge, repetition, repetition, and more repetition until it becomes habit.
Dr Vin
Family Doctor from Australia http://www.doyouhavedepression.blogspot.com
Let me also chime in with a hell no. Depression is a serious issue and needs to be addressed. If you choose to address it with professional help then I say more power to you.
Of course not! It's been determined the most effective treatment for postpartum depression. A solid, competent therapist will not allow you to use therapy as a crutch no more than a competent physician or nurse practitioner will allow you to use medication as a crutch. In fact, your physician or ARNP should be recommending psychotherapy first or at least along with any prescription for anxiety or depressive symptoms

wikiHow to Stop Being Possessive About a Friend
Three Parts:Addressing the Causes of Your PossessivenessChanging Your Possessive BehaviorsFilling the Void Left BehindCommunity Q&A
Possessiveness is a normal feeling to a certain extent. We all like to feel special and important to other people in our lives, but if you start feeling like your possessiveness is getting extreme you may need to take some action to change this. A possessive friend often expresses jealousy and may seek to control what the other person does. If you think you often try to grab attention, get angry when your friend spends time with others, or if you feel insecure in the friendship, then it may be a sign that you need to take a step back and consider what is at the root of the problem.
Part 1
Addressing the Causes of Your Possessiveness
1Analyze your behavior. Look for the root cause of the problem by reviewing instances in which you behaved or felt possessively about your friendship. Try to make connections between the situations to see if you can find some kind of common ground that might be acting as a trigger for your possessive behavior.
- Consider ways you might avoid these triggers and try to move forward.
- For example, you may discover that most of your possessive feelings arise when you are hanging out in a group of three because you often feel excluded when there are only two other people. If this is the case, you should just try to avoid hanging out in threes. Try to organize one-on-one hangout time or events for a larger group of people.
2Talk about your feelings. Try to explain your possessive behavior to your friend. Talk to your friend in an open manner and tell them about your feelings. If they understand what you mean, they may very well try to spend more time with you and help you to feel reassured of their support for you. It may be possible for you guys to work through it together.[1]
- Try saying something like, "I have really been struggling with feelings of possessiveness about our friendship lately. I think it might be related to how I felt about my dad when I was younger, but I know that it's not a healthy way for me to interact with you. I am trying to work on this and I would really like it if we could get through this together as friends."
3Let go of your past. Think about any past incident you might have had relating to cheating or losing a best friend. Realize that it was just a one-time incident and that this experience cannot be generalized. Remember that each person is different and each relationship is different. Let the past go as you cannot change what had happened. Focus on the present friendship and forget the past.[2]
- Realize that this friend didn't do this thing in your past and, therefore, should not be punished for it.
Part 2
Changing Your Possessive Behaviors
1Give your friend space. Exhibiting possessive behavior will probably not do anything to make your friendship closer. If you feel like you are acting possessively toward your friend, you should back off and give them some space. Let your friend make their own plans and don't be so obsessed with being involved.[3]
- Try letting your friend call you first or wait for them to make plans with you. Some people need more space than others, so you might be crowding the friendship without realizing it.
2Wait for people to come to you. You are an interesting person in your own right and people will be attracted to you, especially if they don't feel like you are desperate for their attention. People don't generally like feeling the pressure of a possessive friendship, so let someone else do the work of worrying for a change.
- Wait for other people to initiate contact with you on occasion and see what happens. You might be surprised.
3Unplug from technology and social media. It can be all too easy to keep up with people today – mostly because of modern technological advances in social media-related fields. Take action to remove the temptation to internet creep from your life.[4]
- Try hiding them from your social media accounts if you just can't help yourself.
- Or you could even take a break from social media in general for a while to see how that makes you feel.
4Seek outside help. If you are having trouble controlling your possessive behavior, it might be time for you to get some professional help. Going to a counselor or therapist could be very beneficial for you in this situation. They can help you figure out the underlying causes of your possessive feelings. A professional could also help you understand how to cope with these feelings in the future.[5]
- Talking to a professional who is not invested in the situation might help you see it in a new light as well. This could help you realize how your possessive behavior is affecting your relationship and what you might be able to do to improve the situation.
Part 3
Filling the Void Left Behind
1Build your life. Put yourself into a variety of activities and get yourself busy. This way, you have less time to think about what your friend is up to and you'll also be making your life more interesting to others so you can attract more friends in the future. Start playing a musical instrument, start going to church, start doing anything that is good for you and will help you move forward from this point.[6]
- Work on becoming a more well-rounded person by investing in different activities and experiences. Don't rely on one person to make you feel good about yourself.
2Get to know your friend's friend circles. Be active, socialize and network in your friend's circles so that you might be able to spend more time with them. Do not spy around; instead, respect your friend's space and give a lot of trust to your friendship. Ultimately, this respectful hands-off approach will work out for your own good.[7]
- If you become friends with more of their other friends, you're bound to spend more time with your friend by default. However, this could be seen as another possessive behavior if you're not careful.
3Expand your own social circles. Part of the reason you feel so possessive of your friend is probably because you have been limiting yourself to that one friend for a while. If you have other friends that you hang out with and invest in, you won't need so much emotional support from that one friend. Spread your needs out over a group of people.[8]
- Try meeting new people (at places like school, church, or in your neighborhood) as well as cultivating friendships with people you already know casually.
4Distract yourself. Feelings of possessiveness tend to get worse when we just sit and focus on them. As long as you allow yourself to obsess over this one friend, you will not get over it. Try distracting yourself with anything possible to get your mind off of it. You could even enlist the help of another friend if you trust them enough not to tell other people about it.[9]
- Try reading a book, watching a movie, going for a walk, calling a friend, talking to your mom, or even creating something artistic.
Community Q&A
I was possessive towards my female friend and, then once I realized, I made my distance from her. She doesn't seem to care about it, now. What should I do?wikiHow ContributorTry talking to her. It might help you get your relationship back with her. You may get to understand her more and she might start to be friends with you again.
I am possessive towards a friend. I hate it when he talks about other girls to the point it irritates me. What can I do?wikiHow ContributorYou have to realize that he is your friend, and not your slave. He has his personal life, too, and maybe he is avoiding you at some stages when this happens. If you are a good friend, he will not avoid you. Stop being irritated and support your friend -- that way he might be more comfortable to talk to you about his personal life and not avoid you.
Why there is a need that our friend should consider us special or different from others?wikiHow ContributorBecause that means you mean something to the person and they are friends with you for a reason and have a real investment in maintaining the friendship for the long term. If they don't consider you any different from others, that means they are just friends with you randomly, and the friendship is kind of meaningless, and you could easily be dropped and replaced with another person. True friendships are special connections that are maintained because you really mean something to each other.

Meade in no rush with Native
Noel Meade is delighted that Go Native has returned in good shape following an excellent comeback run at Navan on Wednesday.
The three-time Grade One-winning hurdler had been sidelined for well over 900 days by injury and Meade expected him to need the run as he returned to action in the October Maiden on the Flat.
However, the nine-year-old travelled like much the best horse in the race and was only beaten two lengths into third by talented chaser Glam Gerry, leaving his trainer rightfully thrilled with a comeback run that exceeded his expectations.
"He's fine and I'm obviously delighted with him," said Meade.
"He got a bit tired but he did run a lot better than I thought he would. I thought he would get tired a bit sooner than he did.
"Anyway, as it worked out, if we'd held on to him a bit longer he might even have won, but he still ran a really good race and it's a good start.
"I don't want to make any firm plans at this stage. We'll just see how we go and see how he comes along now after that first run.
"I don't want to rush him. We could give him another run on the Flat, we'll just see. Nothing is set in stone at the moment."

2012 Val de Mer Bourgogne Rosé
Pinot Noir
France: Burgundy
Mission Briefing
La première presse
We love this wine! It is very rare to find a Rosé of Burgundy. Made from the Pinot Noir grape, this wine is absolutely divine.
Traditionally, Rosé is made as an afterthought by bleeding off the some of the juice from a red wine. In the case of this wonderful pink refresher, the grapes that are crushed for this wine are used only in the making of this wine. This is called first press.
This wine is delicious, with a soft feel that gently transports flavors all across the palate. A light bodied wine, it is also well-structured and rather complex - without taking itself too seriously. This is a fun wine that we recommend wholeheartedly.
Tasting Profile
Look: | Rose petal pink hues, with even coloration from heart to edge. |
Smell: | Lofty, delicate aromas of underripe mixed red and black berry fruit. As the wine warms, even slightly, it releases additional aromas of ripe pink grapefruit, rose petal, gentle geranium and a hint of flinty mineral. |
Taste: | Rainier cherry, young strawberry, red delicious apple, subtle raspberry, subtle Mirabelle (yellow) plum and a hint of fresh violet. |
Finish: | Dried (unsweetened) cranberry and dried violet that gently gives way to a lovely pomegranate white tea. |
Pairing: | This is a very food-flexible wine that can be enjoyed with a wide range of foods. Enjoy with everything from a Thai green papaya salad to salmon burgers, cold poached salmon, or a fresh fruit and cheese plate. |

This is for #FungusFriday I don't know for certain what the white fungus t is ,but the closest I cam to ID'ing it ,would be a species Calocera Fungus.
- Awesome find... my favorite types of fungus are the ones, like this, that look like they belong underwater.Oct 28, 2011
- Yup,the first thing I thought was that it looked so much like a coral.There is a type of fungi sometimes called coral fungus(Clavarioid fungi),perhaps it's one of that type instead.I couldn't find a fungus exactly like it.Oct 28, 2011
- Much as I love fungi I don't know too much about how to identify them... it seems that there are always many similar species, but nothing that matches quite exactly right, atleast in my experience. Here is another potential contendor I found through a quick google search: http://www.sharnoffphotos.com/lichensG/sphaerophorus_venerabilis.html Again, its similar, but not quite perfect.Oct 28, 2011
- that bokeh is just drool worthyNov 2, 2011
- It really stands out in the nice green mosses, almost like dusty millers do in our flower gardens. Good Stuff!Nov 13, 2011
- I just stumbled upon this +Rachael Alexandra! What you have here is a species of lichen from the genus Cladonia! It could be Cladonia subtenuis or perhaps even Cladonia rangiferina both of which are referred to as "reindeer moss".
Oh I almost forgot to tell you how much I love the shot! The DOF is perfect! :DAug 16, 2012 - Thanks +Dan Bowden for both the ID and liking my picture !!Aug 19, 2012

My part involves baconman and his family on a wild excursion to Los Angeles, California. It's quite a change from their suburban life in Baconville, they're sure to live it up!
P.S. Happy Clock Day!
harryjarry - We spent unimaginable time and work on this flash, and we feel it has come out as great, if not greater, than how we'd hoped. I'm sure you will enjoy this delightful flash in ways you can't comprehend!
In my part, Baconman grows a moustache! He decides to venture out into the portal, and see what all he can find on this wonderful Clock Day!
The Toasters are my new fave band!
The two songs on offer here were absolutely superb and the vocals were out of this world! I could listen to you guys sing all day long. I thought the menu was the whole flash at first and I would have given you a 10 just for that, it was so superb. Then I realised there were another two awesome movies within the flash, which were both equally as good as the awesome menu screen. Good job guys. I hope to see you collaborate again!
Jamie works wonders with his taste in music! I'm sure he is proud to be the one to get you into The Toasters! Jamie and I have debated many times about putting out an album-maybe with your encouragement, we can make that a reality!
Finding out there is more than just the main menu is always like finding hidden treasure! I hope it was truly a joyous experience!
We will work together again! NO DOUBT ABOUT IT! <3

I'm not a big fan of "validating inheritance" (especially in Perl where you can make perfectly functional objects [that simply implement all of the needed methods] that fail the 'isa' test) so rather than using UNIVERSAL::isa(), I'd probably either do something like have all error objects define an isError() method and add or have all error objects define a getError() method and test with $data->can("getError"). Better still, have your error objects overload boolean context so that they return "false" and just do which starts heading toward what I've been wanting to write for years now: Error objects that fake all possible method calls to return themselves when called in a "object/method" context. They overload boolean context such that they return "false" and note that they have been "tested". If they get used in any other context or if they get destroyed without having been "tested", then they die with a full error message and stack trace. Then you don't have to worry about checking for errors. If you don't check for success, then your code automatically dies on failure. If you do check for success but get it wrong, your code again dies on failures. If you do check for success and get it right, nothing dies. And you don't have to check right away so you can write: (: [updated] - tye In reply to Re: Best Practices for Exception Handling (no isa)

The explosive is defined in NFL circles as a play of over 20 yards. Over the years, it can also be listed as "runs over 10 yards and passes over 20 yards", but I believe in recent years it has been adjusted by many free thinkers in the game as simply "any plays over 20 yards". These plays are absolute killers and the Cowboys were victims of explosives over and over in 2010.
As you can expect, the teams that are near the bottom of the league each year in explosives surrendered by their defense generally are watching the playoffs on television. This was mostly true in 2010, however, the anomaly of all anomalies was the Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks made the playoffs at 7-9 and even more shockingly won a game. But, I think it is fair to suggest that we should not base too many success formulas on the 2010 Seattle Seahawks. Many years could pass before another 7-9 team makes the playoffs and takes down the defending Super Bowl Champions.
The following chart will show the bottom 5 teams in the league, the Cowboys, the Browns (Rob Ryan's last stop), the NFL Average, and then the #1 team for surrendering the fewest explosive plays in 2010:
Rank | Team | Explosives |
32 | Denver | 84 |
31 | Seattle | 76 |
30 | Arizona | 74 |
29 | Jacksonville | 72 |
28 | Washington | 70 |
27 | Dallas | 69 |
20 | Cleveland | 59 |
NFL Average | 59 | |
1 | Pittsburgh | 36 |
Those numbers demonstrate the Cowboys achilles heel. Heck, in one game alone, Eli Manning and the Giants carved the Cowboys up for 10 plays of 20 yards or more. 10! And the Steelers conceded just 36 all season long. And before you start telling me the Cowboys need better Cornerbacks (Sign Nmandi, Sign Nmandi!), just note that the Steelers are perhaps the closest thing the NFL has to a dynasty right now as they were a few plays from winning their 3rd Super Bowl in 6 seasons a few months back. And who were their 3 Corners last season? Bryant McFadden, William Gay, and Ike Taylor. You could make the case that corner is the weakest element of that Steelers defense. And yet they allow the fewest explosives and the fewest points time after time.
Let's do the same chart again, but just with pass explosives in 2010:
Rank | Team | Explosives |
32 | Denver | 62 |
31 | Seattle | 60 |
30 | Jacksonville | 58 |
29 | Dallas | 57 |
28 | Washington | 57 |
19 | Cleveland | 49 | NFL Average | 48 |
1 | Pittsburgh | 35 |
If you are wondering how it broke down under the two coaches, as the Cowboys were considerate enough to divide their season into two equal parts under their two coaches; 8 games under Wade Phillips (37 explosives conceded - that is right, in 8 games, the Cowboys gave up more explosive plays than the Steelers did in 16) and 8 games under Jason Garrett/Paul Pasqualoni (32 explosives conceded).
If you factor in the final 3 games of the Wade Phillips Era - which many believe started when Tony Romo was injured against the Giants and continued until the final gun in Green Bay (and had the Jacksonville game in between) - where the Cowboys conceded 10 explosives against the Giants, 7 more against Jacksonville, and 5 more against Green Bay for a total of 22 explosives conceded in about 10 Quarters of football, then you see why some of us accuse a great deal of the Cowboys roster giving less than a full effort at the very end. Those 3 games constitute easily the worst stretch of defensive football all year long. And it isn't really even close. Were they trying to get their coach fired? Well, let's put it this way - they were certainly not playing to save him.
When you allow 436 points in a season, it should be quite clear what is the major issue here. The previous franchise record for points conceded in a season was 405 (in 2004). The NFL Average for a Playoff team in 2010 was 312 points against. So, somehow, this figure claims the Cowboys were allowing 124 points beyond playoff contention, or nearly 8 points per game.
To slow that down, you must keep explosives down. Way down. And to do that, 7 yard slants cannot turn into 60 yards. A WR screen behind the line of scrimmage cannot go for 32. And of course, DeSean Jackson cannot catch 60 yard passes on the 1st play from scrimmage because you have secondary confusion.
And I suppose all of this reminds me why there are a number of things that need to happen in this offseason; A full chance for Rob Ryan to install and teach his defense, a fair amount of positional competition, and an influx of new talent via free agency and the draft. Since the Cowboys used 3 of their top 4 "premium picks" on offense and the 4th player is on the mend from a knee injury, it looks like the draft is not going to be the answer.
In the days and weeks to come, we shall break down some of the conceded explosives to see where the Cowboys need to improve, although I am pretty sure we already have a pretty good idea of where it needs to begin.

ST JOHN'S DAY, Midsummer Day, has come and gone, bringing to the nature diarists' community, as the country folk call us, melancholy thoughts of the inexpugnable passage of time and of the already declining year. In our neighbourhood, St John's Eve is a time when age-old customs, elsewhere, alas, confined to the mists of antiquity, still flourish even in these prosaic days.
Young men and maidens, not to speak of some in neither category, forsake their clubbing to dance in the woodland glades, undeterred by ghostly commercial travellers, doomed to play solo whist among the trees for all eternity, who scarcely interrupt their play to hurl traditional insults from another world.
It is different with the watercolourists who, following another ancient custom, come trooping out from the neighbouring town to set up their easels in the woods, industriously sketching everything they see, including the indignant dancers. Many of them are retired schoolteachers recommended "remedial art therapy" by their psychiatrists, distressed gentlefolk and ordinary people lately released into the community.
All take their orders from the big, ginger-haired old fellow who seems to be their leader. From my library window I watched through powerful field glasses as he rallied them amidst the dancers, lashing out with outsize paintbrush or sharp-edged paintbox and generally giving as good as they got.
He encouraged them, too, with anecdotes of eminent painters he seems to have known well: how he and Turner saw off a gang of criminal art dealers in Petworth Park; how he and Edward Lear, attacked by bandits while painting in Albania, put them to flight by endlessly repeating Lear's limericks.
The village folk regard him with superstitious awe. He lives, so the talk goes in the Blacksmith's Arms, in a rambling old mansion "way out t' other side o' Simpleham Great Park". He is said to be a "gurt old 'un for t' book learnin'." Some say he is writing a "Book of All Known Knowledge". Some say he is the king of all nature diarists. All believe he is a powerful enchanter.
When I called at the inn the other day, there was an animated discussion about him, carried on, of course, in the genuine old British Composite Pandialect. Jack, the retired poacher told how, when laying a trail of sultanas to trap pheasants, he had seen the big man sitting in his enchanted garden, where creatures of the wild, deemed to be extinct in other parts of England, came to his call: the speckled linnet, the ringed dotterel, the corncrake and the wolf. Jack swore he had once seen an Andean condor perching on the enchanter's shoulder and whispering secrets in his ear.
Old Seth the waspkeeper, who has a tendency to live in the past, and contributes a "Wasp at War" feature to the local newspaper, thinks the master watercolourist is a German or even Japanese spy, using watercolours to signal to enemy airmen. All believe he and his watercolourists are creatures of ill omen, and that to speak to them brings misfortune.
Though I am inclined to smile, I am sure there is a profound rural wisdom here, far beyond the grasp of your average know-all urban intellectual.
by 'REDSHANK'
"SNOW in July, we'll have sunshine forbye," is an old adage still heard in the gunroom and four ale bar in our part of the country. Another old saying, "relevant", as the country folk say, to the present unusual summer, is, "Nature diarists make their own weather", already proved true a hundred times over.
As well as snow, we have had a freak sandstorm which deposited outsize date stones from North Africa on my croquet lawn; earth tremors which brought down a grandfather clock in the Chequers Inn on top of Old Frank, the landlord, causing much hilarity; and, to crown all, barn owls roosting together with a whole flock of magpies in Paxman's Oak.
And – another sign of an unusual summer – when Old Seth the Waspkeeper, last of a dying breed, began his yearly "telling the wasps" according to immemorial custom, covering all the latest divorces, seductions, rapes, muggings and drug-peddling cases in the village, the cantankerous creatures would not listen, buzzing round in circles with a monotonous droning sound and giving every sign of cynical boredom.
Pure genius, and of the rarest and most valuable type, giving us not atom bombs or fume spewing motor cars but harmless and lasting pleasure.

The Channel 4 Dispatches investigative team visited Deptford High Street back in May to take a look at the plethora of betting shops and interview some locals on their feelings about the situation. The team also visited other high streets to get the national picture.
The resulting programme, Britiain's High Street Gamble will be aired this coming Monday 6 August at 8pm on Channel 4.
"Britain's high streets are struggling to survive, but one business is booming; betting shops. On average one new bookie opens every week. In one London high street there are now 10 within yards and the locals are fed up. What's driving this gambling boom and what's the impact on our communities? Michael Crick investigates the rise of High Street gambling. He hears from an apologetic politician who now admits they got the gambling laws wrong, and from those most affected by the spread of the betting shops."
Watch the trailer here.
Meanwhile, thanks to a clause in the original planning permission for the ex-Halifax site at 93-95 Deptford High Street, Lewisham Planning and the government inspectorate have managed to fight off Betfred's exhaustive attempt to become the eighth betting shop in the high street. Betfred seem to have given up for now, if this To Let sign is anything to go by.
However, the problem has not gone away, especially since the recent Select Committee's Review of the 2005 Gambling Act ("A bet worth taking?" published on 24 July) has seen fit to recommend an increase in the allowance of Fixed Odd Betting Terminals (FOBTs) from 4 to as many as 20 – per shop!
See Daily Mail report based on the programme.

Curried Mussel Chowder
There's a couple inches of snow outside. It's cold. And I hate it.
I've never been a fan of this type of weather. Even growing up in upstate New York. I hated it. Andy even says I have a permanent scowl on my face when the temperature drops below 32 F. I guess I just like my sunshine and warm weather. Can you blame me?
One thing I do like during this time, though, is curling up to a nice warm bowl of chowder. There's just something so comforting about it. I decided to switch up the normal clam for some mussels and a healthy dash of curry powder. The result? Andy thinks it's the best bowl of soup I've made to date. Right on!
3 slices of thick-cut bacon, cut into thin strips
1 carrot, peeled and diced
1 shallot, diced
1 celery stalk, diced
1 lb. new potatoes, diced
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup white wine
3 parsley stems
1 bay leaf
pinch of dried thyme
pinch of black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon curry powder
pinch of dried fennel
3 garlic cloves, smashed
pinch of saffron
5 cups of milk
1 cup of heavy cream
1 cup frozen corn
1 lb. shucked mussels (I bought them this way because it was easier, but you could certainly steam them and take them out of the shell on your own)
salt, to taste
chopped parsley, for garnish
baked naan, for serving
I love this because it's also a one pot meal. Most soups are, right? Right. The less dishes I/Andy have to wash, the better.
Heat a large stockpot under medium high heat. Add bacon strips and render until all of the fat is released and bacon is crispy. With a slotted spoon, remove bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Reserve for garnish.
Add carrot, shallot, celery, and potatoes to the bacon fat. Coat well and sweat for about 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle vegetables with flour and cook for another minute. Add wine and bring to a boil, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. When mixture is thick, add in parsley stems, bay leaf, thyme, black pepper, butter, curry powder, fennel, garlic, saffron, milk, and heavy cream. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
About 2-3 minutes before serving, add your mussels (if they're already shucked, they should already be cooked, so you're only warming them) and your frozen corn. Cook until warmed through. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with reserved bacon and chopped parsley. Serve with naan bread.
This seriously hit the spot! We've got leftovers and I don't foresee them lasting much longer than 48 hours! Hope you guys are staying warm =)
creamy soups,
6 comments:
I totally agree with you. Cold weather is only good for soups, stews and chowders! I don't like snow either and I totally understand having a scowl on my face when I see the weather outside is frightful. :)
This looks creamy and delicious!! Wishing you a Happy and Wonderful New year 2013!!

FC BATE Borisov's hopes of finishing top of Group E were dashed in the Netherlands as eliminated AZ Alkmaar secured a 3-0 triumph.
How the first half only produced one goal was something of a mystery but it was AZ, the dominant force, who struck first through Kolbeinn Sigthórsson after seven minutes. BATE needed to better FC Dynamo Kyiv's result at home to FC Sheriff to seal the section summit but rarely looked like salvaging anything after the restart before Sigthórsson's second and Adam Maher's goal confirmed their defeat.
Sigthórsson broke the deadlock when he nodded a long goal-kick to Maarten Martens and burst onto the return pass before unleashing an unstoppable 20-metre drive in off the underside of the bar. Sergei Sosnovski almost provided an instant response when his poked effort was saved by Sergio Romero before the hosts conjured and spurned a clutch of chances.
Brett Holman created the first as he crossed from the byline only for Pontus Wernbloom's shot to be blocked on the line by Aleksandr Yurevich. Holman then headed over a presentable centre from Martens and Erik Falkenburg homed in on Sergei Veremko only to pull his shot wide of the goalkeeper's far upright. Pavel Nekhaychik skewed wide after a lively visiting attack while Sigthórsson failed to connect sufficiently as AZ carved their way through again. Holman's strike was then palmed onto the bar by Veremko.
The second half was always unlikely to be as open and so it transpired. The closest BATE came to levelling was when Renan Bressan's free-kick was repelled by Romero with the follow-up disallowed for offside. Substitute Johann Gudmundsson created two goals to confirm AZ's victory, sliding in Sigthórsson to find an empty net on 84 minutes then releasing 17-year-old Maher (86) to fire in a debut goal.

n the last years under the designated name "Pseudopimelodus nigricaudus" there have been repeated introductions of broad shaped catfish. Those have been 15 to 25 centimetres long animals with the extra large head and the enormous muzzle and assigned to four species so far in the genus Cephalosilurus, which today is the valid name for the earlier genus name Pseudopimelodus.
Striking are the similarities of C. nigricaudus with C. apurensis which is the most frequently imported species of this genus. Can distinguishes be crystallized out?.
Probably because they are so dark and frowning, these plump, little catfish every now and then are assigned to C. fowleri which is notorious for its aggressiveness and is a third Cephalosilurus species apart from C. albomarginatus, which has not been introduced to aquarists yet. Primarily here however no mistake is possible, because apart from the brighter colouring, C. fowleri is to be identified clearly by its slimmer shape and the flatter head.
The Latin name "nigricaudus" means "black tail", and indeed already with young specimen of C. nigricaudus the very dark colouring of the caudal fin is remarkable. On the other hand according to personal information from the Brazilian ichthyologist Dr. Oscar Shibatta (Londrina) who is scientifically occupied with the Pseudopimelodidae, and also with young specimens of C. apurensis, the caudal is quite dark. So from this conclusion, one of the two species can be told apart.
At present I keep two with the figuration and colouring nearly similar in both specimens, of which one came from a private sale and the other one was acquired from Tropic-Aquaristik as C. nigricaudus. A comparison with one from Aquarium Glaser GmbH bought by another aquarist approximately two years before as, Pseudopimelodus nigricaudus which agreed was complete in form, colouring and behaviour. At first sight they are quite similar to my C. apurensis. By the way with regard to price there's not much of a difference; as young animals they both can be bought starting from approximately 60 euro upward. So what now is common with both species and which is much more important for the enthusiastic keeper of these catfish, what are the differences? Here are some beginning possibilities:
Habitat: Already the name of C. apurensis shows that this species is to be found in the Rio Apure of Venezuela. The habitat of C. nigricaudus is limited to Surinam. If asking the dealers the exact origin of these animals one mostly gets the answer that they were imported from Colombia or Venezuela. The exact habitat can only rarely be determined. If one comes to speak on Surinam then it is pointed out that at least at the questionable time no exports from there have taken place. A contradiction? Not necessarily, as a dealer confirmed, because catfish also from Surinam were imported from Venezuela. Besides it is questionable whether the actual area of circulation of C. nigricaudus is really limited to Surinam. Gill rakers: According to Dr. Shibatta the number of gill rakers (these are internal bony or gristly extensions of the gill arch) varies with C. apurensis to around 27 and with C. nigricaudus lies between eleven and 16. Since such a counting can be made only with dead animals, it does not really help the aquarist with the identification of his specimen.
Colouring: Obviously there are differences in the colouring. Both species indeed have a remarkable juvenile dress by their black, partly in the form of stripes, arranged marks. The juvenile dress of C. nigricaudus however is altogether clearly more dark than of C. apurensis especially in the head area which is light brownish. The stripes are more on C. nigricaudus than with C. apurensis which are less clearly pronounced and are replaced later by points of different sizes and also with adult specimens of C. nigricaudus there remains by the multiplicity of the affect of marks something like a great big ribbon which drags on over the whole rear body region. With C. apurensis at 30 centimetres in length, the caudal fin and the tail are not so dark.
Figure: Compared with its genus comrade, the body of C. nigricaudus is somewhat flatter and the rear third seems to be longer. C. apurensis particularly in old age seems so massive with its brawny head. Both species also have a little bit different muzzle form.
Growth and final length: At the 40 centimetres mark C. nigricaudus as C. apurensis, bought as young fish of 15 centimetres in length, exceed to this size not later than in 18 months, afterwards growth slows down with both. Against the data of Fishbase one must assume with C. nigricaudus from a minimum length which is with half a meter, and the smaller of the two (according to Fishbase), C. apurensis, really reaches even 65 to 75 centimetres (cf. Fishbase-website of May 4th, 2008, where the maximal length of C. apurensis is indicated with 29 centimetres and for C. nigricaudus - in both cases male specimen - with 35 centimetres).
Behaviour: Actually as to the behaviour of my specimen of C. nigricaudus one could hit the nail squarely on the head in such a way that they they love to hide itself and they eat wholeheartedly for their life. Basically both these attributes also applies to C. apurensis. Nevertheless, when keeping both species you will soon determine that C. nigricaudus is a bit more nocturnal, otherwise however it is more greedy. This is to be considered with its keeping, best in a tank with a capacity of approximately 800 litres upward. So it must be suggested that absorbed light and the supply of a hiding place which is appropriate to the body size. One is not dependent on giving live fish, the ambush-predator devours worms, shell meat and after habituation also fillet of fish in enormous portions. Therefore if at all one should socialise it only as a young animal with larger and in addition high-backed fish. At a temperature from 23 to 26° Celsius and otherwise "normal" water equivalents these species prove very durable.
Blow the co-inhabitant, who comes too close for this, a good 45 cm long C. nigricaudus!
All in all C. nigricaudus from the colouring is more attractive. It does not grow as large as its genus comrade but adjusts this however by its aggressive approach to its keeper and potential socialised fishes. So who is looking after the mysterious and incalculable and also fascinating should decide for this species. Who however enjoys a calm, to some extent reliable giant overeater, which is sensitive also towards heaters and pumps, C. apurensis is to be recommended.

Why don't you ask her what would hurt her. I think you might be making assumptions there based on what you see and THINK you know. Talk to her about it. I think that perhaps you need to do a whole lot more real in depth communicating with her and create a rapport before moving forward... you really don't seem to know enough about poly to make a call on what would work for you yet. So I would suggest doing some more work on your self, on researching poly and on getting to know this woman more before deciding. There is no rush and it sounds like it isn't a good time for her right now anyway.
Agreeing about the therapist. She isn't your mother, she is your therapist. Her opinion is not the point, her supporting you on YOUR journey is. If she isn't doing that, then I would urge you to find someone who does... that is sounding a tad manipulative and could be creating co-dependence.

? Meier's meetings with Mahatma Ghandi and with numerous world leaders
? Information about Father Zimmerman, the parish priest who was young Meier's confidant and assisted him with his mission

The March Freedom Ride (17 March till 29 March) has been organized with several grassroots organizations and is currently taking students, artists, and activists through the Jordan Valley and South Hebron Hills. This arts and educational event began this past Sunday, 17 March 2013 with an orientation at The Freedom Theatre followed by a night of music and Playback Theatre. The evening proved to be a great ice breaker for participants as they got a chance to learn about each other through the telling of stories, some experiencing Playback Theatre for the first time.
For the past 3-days participants have been in the Jordan Valley taking part in building and reconstruction work, tree planting, guided walks, and discussion groups while enjoying evenings filled with Playback Theatre, live music, Dabke, and other cultural events. After the Jordan Valley participants will make their way to the South Hebron Hills.
In preparation for the ride a Core Training in Playback Theatre was held in February, facilitated by the founder of Playback Theatre Jo Salas. Participants in this workshop acquired and/or strengthened their skills and knowledge about the philosophy and application of this applied theatre art. In an effort to learn more about the communities taking part in the ride and to strengthen our working relationship with community members, the Freedom Bus held a solidarity stay in February in the Jordan Valley in the communities of Ein Al Hiluwa and Khirbit Samra. The main objective of this event was to raise awareness about Israeli apartheid practices and to engage children in exercises that stimulate their imagination and creativity.
The March Freedom Ride has been organized to correspond with International World Water Day, held annually on 22 March as a means of focusing attention on the importance of freshwater and advocating for the sustainable management of freshwater resources. An international day to celebrate freshwater was recommended at the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED). The United Nations General Assembly responded by designating 22 March 1993 as the first World Water Day in light of the increase in demand for water access, allocation, and services.
This year, the Freedom Bus will highlight issues of inequality surrounding water allocation and the accompanying social and economic impact upon Palestinian communities living in the Jordan Valley. Day 6 of the ride, which falls on 22 March, will consist of an all-day solidarity walk from Mak-hul to Ras Al Ahmar via Al Hadidya followed by an evening of Music (featuring DAM, Toot Ard, and Ministry of Dub-Key).

Combine a direct flight from London Gatwick to Genoa with one of our carefully selected hotels. You'll save money when you book your flights + hotel together.
Genoa may get overshadowed by Venice and Florence, but it's still one of Northern Italy's great art cities. Genoa holidays will introduce you to a place of sudden contrasts, where narrow alleys open suddenly onto huge sea views, and palaces are hidden away up secluded staircases.
In terms of sights, Genoa's renaissance Laterna lighthouse is one of the oldest and highest in Europe, while its black and white striped cathedral of San Lorenzo is impressive even by Italy's high standards. Built in 1992, Genoa's Aquarium in the Old Port is the second largest in Europe, its beautiful Renzo Piano interior a sight in itself. Genoa's restaurants are also excellent, the city that gave the world pesto and ravioli typically serving dishes based around fresh green herbs rather than tomato. As the coastline beyond Genoa is one of Italy's most beautiful, many visitors use the city as a base to explore further. The rocky coves and brightly painted villages of the Cinque Terre region in particular have been attracting visitors for centuries. Italy's main port, Genoa also has regular ferry connections to the nearby holiday islands of Corsica and Sardinia.

Price-comparison websites could be in line for tighter regulation by the City watchdog, the Financial Services Authority (FSA), following an appeal by the British Insurance Brokers Association (Biba).
In a study conducted for Biba, over half of the insurance buyers interviewed said they did not fully understand the differences between policies offered via comparison websites. Only 6 per cent thought the details of what a policy did and did not cover were explained fully, and 84 per cent said the product details carried on the sites could be confusing.
Some 93 per cent of consumers, Biba reported, expect insurance-comparison sites to be regulated in the same way as insurance intermediaries.
The research also found that many of the websites use "assumptions" on factors like age, health and lifestyle as the basis for their headline quotes, which could lead to consumers purchasing a policy that is not appropriate for them.
But James Harrison, chief executive of the comparison service Insurancewide.com, said: "Biba seems a little behind on this issue. We all face the challenge to provide our customers with comprehensive but very clear, digestible information about all the factors affecting policy cover and price. We are working hard to be able to standardise the way people make comparisons."
He added: "The comparison sites are already in discussions with the Association of British Insurers with a view to producing guidance notes on the responsibilities of websites and insurers in the context of meeting their requirements to treat customers fairly.
"The FSA is fully aware of this and is supportive of our efforts."

In Logical Journey of the Zoombinis, a children's computer game for teaching maths, there is one level called the "Pizza Pass". You have to cook a pizza for three trolls, who usually spit it out, saying: "There's something on there that I don't like!" You keep trying different ingredients, until you find the combination that satisfies all the trolls, who are then so busy eating they let your troop of Zoombinis go past to safety.
That is what it is like trying to understand public attitudes to the European Union. Offer the average voter the EU, and he or she will spit it out and say: "There's something on there that I don't like!" But trying to work out what it is that he or she doesn't like is hard.
Hard, but important. If the thing that people don't like about the EU is the free movement of workers, which has been in the Treaty of Rome from the start, it seems unlikely that David Cameron could negotiate an opt-out. But if it is more of a feeling that too many of our laws are made in Brussels, it may be possible to come to some agreement with Angela Merkel that could be presented as a diplomatic triumph back home.
Our ComRes poll is a bit like a secret recipe book for the Pizza Pass. At first glance, it seems to be bad news for Cameron. Support for the UK Independence Party is at a record 19 per cent: the more the Tories obsess about Europe, the better Nigel Farage does, the worse Cameron does, and the more the Tories are seen as divided. In our poll, 57 per cent say they are now more divided than in John Major's time.
At second glance, though, the findings are ambiguous. The British voter is capable of believing contradictory things, and of giving opinion pollsters answers that don't strictly make sense. I remember our poll about the photographs of the topless Duchess of Cambridge, which found that 6 per cent said they "don't know" if they had seen them on the internet.
In this case, Ed Miliband has overtaken Cameron for the first time as being "good" at his job, but trails by 24 to 32 per cent when people are asked who would make the best prime minister.
People also tend to disagree that Miliband is "likely to be prime minister after the next election". The Labour share of the vote in this poll, 35 per cent, is lower than any recorded by ComRes since October 2010, and Labour's lead is only six points – and yet that is still enough for a majority of more than 70 in Parliament.
At third glance, however, this poll is encouraging for the Prime Minister. I draw your attention to two findings in particular: while more people than before say they would vote to leave the EU in a referendum – 46 per cent, against 24 per cent who would not – we also asked how people would vote "if some EU powers are restored to the UK". The numbers were nearly reversed: 43 per cent said they would vote to stay in the EU, and 24 per cent said they would not. Cameron's negotiate-and-stay-in policy could be a winner.
The other important finding emerges if we look more closely at Ukip supporters. When asked who, of Cameron, Miliband and Nick Clegg would be the best prime minister, 29 per cent of them said Cameron and only 6 per cent Miliband.
Clegg is on 3 per cent and most, 62 per cent, said they don't know, which in this case probably means that they don't like any of them. But that means a net 23 per cent prefer Cameron to Miliband, which is the realistic choice at the next election.
So about a quarter of Ukip supporters could be persuaded to vote Tory if they thought a vote for Ukip might put Miliband in Downing Street. If that happened, Labour's lead would virtually disappear and the election would be wide open.
And that is before we imagine the effect of a presidential election campaign, pitting Cameron against Miliband. To try to get a better idea we need, in addition to opinion polls, focus group research that looks at how voters respond when they see more of Miliband than they are used to. I've seen some confidential reports of recent groups carried out for a political party, and they say it is still "difficult to test Miliband's message and arguments" because focus groups are so dismissive of him. He has become better known, however. Where groups used to describe him as "weird", they now tend to call him "weak".
The report also says: "In most focus groups now people also spontaneously make the point that he wants to borrow more." This is seen as a sign of a "lack of seriousness and absence of the steeliness to take difficult decisions". The groups, perhaps surprisingly, resist the Tory argument that Labour are to blame for the country's economic problems, but a phrase that has cropped up recently is: "He'd take us back to square one." Ouch.
Reading public opinion is not as simple as feeding pizza trolls. That is simply a matter of finding out what they want and giving it to them. Public opinion is different, because it is about judging how what it is that people appear to want might change.

As we announce Forbes Travel Guide's new Star Award winners, we're also celebrating our 55th year of rating
and recommending the world's best travel experiences. Since our founding in 1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, our
inspectors have stayed in thousands of hotels, dined at countless restaurants and experienced hundreds of
spa treatments to find the best properties.
This year, we gave out more awards than ever before, with 27 new
Five-Stars, 75 new Four-Stars and 30 new Recommended properties earning the coveted distinctions in travel.
Those that surpassed our more than 500 standards clinched Five-Star awards, the industry's highest service
accolade. Four-Star winners offered excellent experiences, and Recommended properties were well-appointed
Our inspectors visited properties in North America, China and Singapore, with Europe's first rated
destination, London, coming in April. Scroll below to see the new inductees to our Star Rating universe.
In Forbes Travel Guide's 55th year of rating and recommending the world's best travel experiences, we're
awarding more Stars than ever. Our inspectors traverse North America, China and Singapore — and London
beginning in April — to rate hotels, restaurants and spas. Like we did more than a half a century ago,
our professional inspectors evaluate more than 500 standards in service and facility to come up with an
objective score for each property. Only a handful of properties surpass the exacting standards, earning
the prestigious Five-Star award — the industry's highest service accolade.
Miami emerges as a winner with its first Five-Star hotels since 1996 — Mandarin Oriental, Miami and
Acqualina Resort & Spa — alongside its brand-new Five-Star restaurants — Naoe and Mandarin Oriental,
Miami's Azul. And both hotels earned the highest rating for their spas, as well, which makes Mandarin
Oriental, Miami a Five-Star property across the board.
Joining Mandarin Oriental, Miami in the full sweep of Five-Stars are Montage Laguna Beach with its restaurant
Studio and Spa Montage; The Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong and its spa; Mandarin Oriental, Macau and its spa; Capella
Singapore and its spa; and Encore Macau with its spa. The Broadmoor, The Grand Del Mar and The Inn at Little
Washington all have received this honor for multiple years. In fact, The Broadmoor has retained its Five-Star
rating since 1960 — the longest of any property in the world.
When Forbes Travel Guide was founded as Mobil Travel Guide in 1958, its anonymous team of professional
inspectors set out on a newly created U.S. highway system to identify America's finest hotels and
restaurants. Travel and food experts were called upon to identify the list of properties that should be
inspected (we're sure more than a few martini-fueled lunches must have been had at 1960 Five-Star Award
winning New York City restaurant 21 Club while creating that list).
Today, we inspect and rate hotels, restaurants and spas in much the same way they did 55 years ago—our
professional inspectors evaluate more than 500 standards in service and facility to derive an objective
score that serves as a benchmark for what you'll experience if you choose to stay at our collection of
rated properties.
And our inspectors have the experience to back up their evaluations. Our team has worked inside the
world's best luxury hotels and restaurants, and we know how to spot the behind-the-scenes training and
operations that contribute to a consistently excellent experience in service and quality. Our inspectors
go through the most rigorous training process in the business before they hit the road—and we're
constantly retraining to stay on top of global trends in travel.
Our mission is to define the global standard for excellence in hospitality service and facilities, and
to share with you, the discerning traveler, what you'll experience if you choose to spend your time and
money at one of our Star Rated properties. To learn more about our Ratings,
