Two Muslim boys go on a rampage of violence and hate which leaves people dead and others without limbs. Americans become aroused at these "Muslim murders" but each day there is another example of gun violence leaving dead and wounded. Naturally, the American response to gun violence is we need more guns in order to reduce gun violence! A heavily armed man went on a shooting spree in the city of Santa Monica, California and left dead people lying on the floor of a college library. The killer also died and his name has yet to be revealed other than he had a family connection to those murdered.
There will be somber, learned "experts" who will explain on Fox News that if only everyone in the library had a gun the gunmen would have died sooner. Of course, others might have been shot during the explosion of weapons, but the point is clear-if everyone has a gun, then everyone has an equal opportunity to use it. Yes, those damn "liberals" will insist that I do not have the right to defend myself. There is something sick in modern America.

The A-Screen PRO is a semi-stationary pitching screen designed to give the pitcher maximum protection while also giving him the ability to work multiple pitching drills.
The A-Screen Pro eliminates the exposed shoulder and upper torso that the traditional L-Screens leave exposed.
The curved side allows for full motion pitching while the straight side allows for drills like close range soft-toss or underhand/quick-toss.
The A Screen PRO is a new, redesigned version of the popular A-Screen designed for use on a field. Its durable wheels make it easy to move and its unique design allows for a variety of uses. The PRO, with its somewhat slimmer design, allows you to use it inside batting cages or facilities without being bulky and cumbersome.
The wheels and sturdy axles make it easy to take on/off the field.

As small recompense, here's the rewritten beginning for the book. Careful of expectations. It is only a rough draft.
We live in intriguing times. The nineteenth century is one of advances in every conceivable arena, of science and commerce, convenience and lifestyle. Think of our grandparents. Those that we are still blessed with can hardly conceive of such strange things as these motor carts, seeming roaring dragons with hard-
Miss Euphemia Hatter closed the book in disgust. This was a primer for dabblers. She sighed. It had been a bit much to hope her brother would have ordered a proper engineering book.
She placed the book beneath the foldup table beside her and picked up her spyglasses which lay beside a fine camellia patterned bone china cup still half filled with tepid tea and set upon a matching saucer. It was time to engage in one of her favorite breakfast activities, dirigible watching. It was more reward than bird watching. The volatile gas bags that were currently all the rage even exploded occasionally, though she'd yet to see one do so. The papers usually covered the incidents which tended to occur in the cities. The victims were usually well to do, or the servants of the well to do, so there was often some mention in the society pages of some London dandy or a lesser lord "perishing in a terrible tragedy." Euphemia thought they couldn't expect much better given how so many floated about willy nilly and didn't bother to read the operating manual.
She caught sight of two dirigibles, small cruising models putting across the sky and she flicked down another set of lenses to see them better. She leaned forward in her chair, lips pursed but the two vehicles passed harmlessly by. They'd probably only gotten so close to hail each other or some such. That lot was always so keen to out show one another. An accident was unlikely to happen over Swallow's . Most occurred above much greater urban centres. London or Paris or, most often of all above Belfast as many dirigibles were made within its limits and, Euphemia had to wonder if the great new toys were whisked off the assembly line not more than moments after completion and driven into each other by foolhardy lords and gentleman. That lot were much too eager to show off and not at all interested in taking care to read the manual or have a turn around an isolated hamlet. She flicked the lenses back up and the world returned to its customary proportions, the bustling town of Swallow's Field laying spread before her scant miles in the distance with the small cottages and modest houses of the village her family's manor and factory watched over spanning part of the way between.
Euphemia sat back and drank the tepid dregs of her tea. It would not be nice to see an accident. She would not wish such a volatile death on even the most vapid lord but, good god, for something of interest to happen in her life. Anything at all! She stood and made her way off the platform, boots ringing out against the metal steps and echoing tinily on the tile of the roof. Work beckoned and she must not disappoint. What would her governess have said? At the door to the stairs down into the manor, Euphemia paused and glanced unconsciously from side to side, though she was clearly alone. She reached back behind her and carefully felt her bustle to make sure it was entirely in its proper place. It certainly didn't do to leave such things to chance. Secure in that, at least, she patted her pale blue skirts and descended.
She fetched her satchel, full of odds and ends she liked not to be without and closed the manor door behind her though she didn't bother to lock it, there was no point. She walked down the dirt path in front of the manor careful not disturb her maid and the cook who were busy gossiping in the kitchen garden. They had better things to do than curtsy to her. The walk along the road which terminated square in front of the great big block of a building that her family had earned their fortune from was a pleasant one. She felt it did her good to get the old arms and legs moving before she had to sit at a desk for half the day, besides that, the country side was nice early before the air had got time to sour and it was far quieter than the factory.
The factory was alive with workers, mostly women in their matching dove grey work shifts and crisp white pinafores, working the machines or cutting the felt or gluing and sorting decorations. There was movement everywhere within building and the chatter of voices blended with the clatter of the apparatus. Euphemia navigated the work floor, dodging and dipping where necessary until she reached the great iron stair case that lead up to a platform and office which overlooked the production floor, or at least the landing in front of the office did. Euphemia had a desk on the landing and her brother worked within the office. They barely saw each other, if Euphemia was lucky.
Euphemia settled into her chair, hard and proper as it was. It was the sort of chair her former governess would approve of. She would not have approved of the smile that accompanied the thought. Fortunately, miss Leigh had been bundled off to Bath for the last nine months and, save the dreaded but required correspondence, Euphemia no longer had to maintain the appropriate appearance, she straightened the lace picots of one sleeve, though with enough training, even the most difficult lessons had a tendency to take hold. She did wish though, that a governess hadn't been needed. Mother had been gone for five years and father for two. Her brother Benton was the head of the family and had acting in such capacity ever since father had started to decline which had been for a while now. Euphemia sighed. She wondered what would become of her.

Though Steve Hastings of Paducah died in February, his memory lives on. As a member of the first class of EMTs in Paducah, former coworkers will honor Hastings in an effort to raise money for a cemetery marker in his name. A memorial service will be held 11 a.m. Thursday at Oak Grove Cemetery.
Debbie Peck worked with Hastings beginning in 1980 as a fellow EMT at Mercy Regional Emergency Medical Service and has fond memories of their time working together.
"He was a real likable person. He was jovial and was serious about helping people," Peck said. "I always saw him smiling. That's how he always was, with a big smile on his face."
Lynne Shelbourne, former owner of Mercy Regional EMS, hired Hastings in 1970, the year he became one of Paducah's first EMTs. He described Hastings as a very dependable employee.
"Steve was a very smart guy. He was very attentive. You tell him to do something, and he'd do it," said Shelbourne. "He was just a good guy."
Doyott White, an EMT at Mercy Regional EMS, worked with Hastings when White first began the job.
"He was very hard working and dedicated to the citizens of Paducah and McCracken County," White said.
With no family, some of Hastings' friends and coworkers hope to memorialize Hastings' character and honor the lives he saved with a marker for his grave.
To donate to the cause, checks can be made to Steve Hastings Memorial Account, U.S. Bank, 2630 Lone Oak Road, Paducah, KY 42003.
Contact Katie Paxton, a Paducah Sun staff writer, at 270-575-8655.

Going to try and be detailed as possible to see what you guys think I should do...
I have Verizon Wireless and we just upgraded our phones, we got a 5s and 5c through Best Buy because I was able to keep my unlimited data. Anyways, I was just curious to see what protection plan you guys recommend? What are you guys using or have used in the past? I only know a little and I mean a little about AC+ and SquareTrade, those where the two protection plans I've been looking at on other forums. The rest I know nothing about.
I currently have that Total Equipment Coverage (WPP + EW), Advanced Devices plan from VZW on my 5s, don't know too much about the plan. Anyways, I had a HTC Rezound for 2 years and the TEC plan just transferred over to my iPhone, they didnt even tell me. When I had the HTC Rezound, TEC was only $8/month I believe at the time. Once I upgraded to the iPhone my plan automatically changed to $9.99/month. Our 2nd line never had a protection plan. I also read that VZW has a Total Mobile Protection plan now that is $10/month and includes not only TEC but also adds some other features? I thought that is what I already had but I guess not? What is the difference between TEC and TMP, anyone know?
I was thinking about canceling this TEC plan on my 5s and getting something new for my 5s and my wife's 5c. With this TEC plan, deductibles are like $200. I have numerous choices, BB/GeekSquad, Verizon Wireless TEC, AppleCare+, SquareTrade & Protect Your Bubble.
I've never lost a phone before but I heard iPhones are up there on the theft chart so I don't know If I need a plan with lost or stolen coverage. I know I keep mine close by like its my 2nd child, but I have broken the screen on my Rezound once or twice and had to use TEC for a replacement, I've also been sent 5 "certified-like new" Rezound due to hardware issues, but they kept sending them to me for no charge. My wife on the other hand is clumsy and has dropped her phone in the pool, beats it up all the time, so I'm worried about her. God forbid I break the iPhone screen or something, I don't have $800 for a new one. I have a Otterbox Commuter case on my 5s with a Zagg screen protector and I made her use a Lifeproof Fre case for her 5c (shows how much I don trust her lol). Still I'd like have to some kind of peace of mind, with my son and kids running around using the phone, the wife has rough job where shes her iPhone, I just want to sleep good at night
So what service would you pick if you where in my shoes? Thanks for taking the time to read this and I appreciate any help, suggestions, whatever.
Take care,

Swine Flu Spreads, More Schools Close
New York health officials are looking into the death of a 16-month-old toddler who was taken to a Queens hospital with flu-like symptoms. Elmhurst Hospital Center said the little boy had a high fever when he was brought in last night.
On Sunday, a public school assistant principal, Mitchell Wiener, became the city's first swine flu death. Hospital and city officials say complications other than the virus probably played a part in Wiener's death. But his family has said he suffered only from gout, a joint disease.
The city is increasingly encouraging people in certain health categories to get medical help – and even go to the hospital -- if they think they have swine flu. For weeks, Mayor Bloomberg and health officials discouraged most people from heading to emergency rooms. But following the flu death of Wiener and the possible flu death of the 16-month old, Bloomberg says people shouldn't be shy about getting help.
'If you have an underlying medical condition, such as asthma or diabetes, and you have a fever with either a cough or sore throat, see your doctor immediately for medical treatment.'
Health officials say they are assembling a statewide system for tracking sick students amid the H1N1, or swine flu, outbreak. This follows concerns raised by Governor Paterson who's worried about the lack of a centralized system that could help detect flu cases earlier.
Swine flu is also spreading at Rikers Island. Mayor Bloomberg says there are four confirmed cases of the virus at the prison complex, and at least four more probable cases. The mayor says authorities can't evacuate the jail, but steps are being taken to try and prevent the illness from spreading.
"It is in some senses easier to control because obviously the prisoners can't leave, on the other hand it's also a confined area where we really don't have the choice to move people to areas and ask them to stay home."

We are so glad we went with Keith and his team at The Mortgage Reel. Our realtor actually recommended a different lender but we decided to shop around a bit and Keith got us a better deal and more importantly: whenever we got off the phone with him, we felt like we understood what was going on.
We closed on time without a problem (3.5 weeks) even though we only first contacted Keith a day before putting in the offer. His entire team was on top of everything every step of the way--every email and every phone call got an immediate response.
We trust him and his team completely and have enthusiastically recommended them to absolutely everyone who we know.

Very impressed with Steven and his team from preapproval to closing! I was very overwhelmed with the entire process of buying a home for the first time but Steven and Kendal and the entire team led me through each step, were extremely thorough and detailed, answered all of my questions, were very communicative, open and approachable, quick to respond to my emails, met all deadlines and closed on time! The whole process was much easier and less stressful because of their behind the scenes hard work. Highly recommend to anyone for their professional customer service and dedication!

Jason and his team were the most pleasant, professional, and helpful part of buying our first home. They always had time to answer our questions, even about parts of the process that they weren't directly involved in. I came to rely on Jason more than the our realtor! Can't say enough good things about them-- make a conversation with Mortgage Reel the first thing you do if you're thinking of buying a home.

Some may wonder why some farts do not have a bad smell while others really stink. This distinction of farts may be due to the gases that make them up. Although a loud fart is disturbing, more people have been looking for cures for smelly fart. One of the reasons is that a foul smelling fart is really humiliating when not prevented in a public place. Like many other boy problems, there are several tried and tested solutions for excessive, loud and, most of all, stinky gas.
While there are some medicines that could solve the problem regarding smelly fart, there are also natural remedies which are also effective but will not cost a lot. You would surely love them. They are effective, safe and not costly. All you need is discipline. If you are looking for some home or natural smelly farts cure for people of all ages and condition, below are some good options. You could now say goodbye to smelly fart and not be worried every time you will go to a public place with these solutions.
The Gaseous Substances in the Gas
The gas or the fart is usually made up of a mixture of gases usually nitrogen, carbon dioxide, oxygen and methane. When the flatus is made up largely by nitrogen, carbon dioxide and oxygen, it is usually odorless. However, this may be sound a bit loud because of the gas' volume that will trigger a vibration in the opening of the anus.
When gas is mainly due to bacterial fermentation or incomplete digestion, it would be usually warm and will carry the smell of the incompletely digested food that is usually rotten in the large intestine. This kind of gas or fart may not produce sound because the volume of gas is too small to cause a vibration but will surely produce a smell. The smell varies according to the food you have eaten. This is what you would hate to release when you are with many people. In fact, you would not even want to sniff it even if it comes out from you so a gentleman or a descent lady would not want others to smell it too.
You can hold either of the two types of gas back. It will just go back up the large intestine and will wait for some time to come out again. There are different thoughts about holding back a flatus. Some say it may be dangerous for the health while others say it will not have an adverse effect to the body. Nevertheless, a lot of people want to know some remedies for farts. If the latter is your problem, there are many dietary and natural home remedies you could do.
Watch What You Eat to Get Rid of Flatus
It has been reported that some spices affect the production of intestinal gas, which is included in the main causes of fart. Having less aniseed, ajowan, cardamom, caraway, coriander, cumin, epazote and other spices is a good stinky farts cure. If you really want spicy foods, you can use turmeric, black pepper, ginger and asafetida. They slightly reduce the production of gases. As a matter of fact, Chinese have been using ginger solution (ginger power mixed with water) to cure gas.
Other kinds of food that you should keep an eye on are noodles and wheat as well as potatoes and corn. These foods are said to contribute in the increase in the production of gas specifically in the large intestine. Vinegar is also a usual culprit for flatulence so it is better to lessen your intake of foods with vinegar.
Beans are also a major contributor to the production of gas in the intestines. However, a natural remedy for this is to ferment the beans. Cook the beans in liquor. If you would also prolong cooking the beans, it may not contribute a huge amount of gas.
On the other hand, you should then opt to increase eating foods with probiotics. One good example is yogurt. Although yogurt does not prevent farting in some cases, it is effective in eliminating the smell. Foods with probiotics are proven to reduce flatulence, smelly or not. The reason behind this is that the foods with probiotics are rich in lactic bacteria such as the Lactobacillus acidophilus. They are very effective in reducing gas. In addition, there are also supplements with natural ingredients that have L. acidophilus. They are usually cheaper than pills but they have proven their effectiveness as a cure for farting.
You should also make sure that you get sufficient amount of fiber. If you cannot have a diet with enough servings of vegetable and fruits, you may opt to take supplements that will provide you with fiber.
Most importantly, you should avoid foods that have high fat content. Meats are a great source of protein and fats. You should opt to take lean meat. They have higher protein content and less fat content.
In addition, dairy foods like eggs and cheese are also a main contributor in smelly gas. Although they are healthy, they should be taken in moderate amounts if you do not want a stinky flatus. Plus, since they are dairy products, they could send people with low lactose tolerance to the comfort room.
Meats could also contribute to the stinky smell of flatulence. Besides that they are not healthy in great amount, it heighten up the smell of your fart.
Curing Flatulence by Choosing What to Drink
Fart may also be caused by an excessive production of gastric hydrochloric acid which may be triggered by a lot of intake of lemon juice and other sour liquids. A flatus treatment may also be done by choosing what to drink and not. You do not need to avoid drinking lemon juice but you should make sure that you lessen it. A good substitute is to drink pineapple juice. The natural supplements with pineapple or papaya extracts may also help in curing smelly farts.
Most importantly, you should never forget to drink sufficient amount of water, which is 8 to 10 glasses every day. Beer may cause your body to lose water. If you cannot avoid having a bottle of beer or two, replacing the water to be lost in the process is an excellent way to prevent smelly gas. In most cases, people were able to remedy flatulence by drinking hot or warm water. It is also effective in curing bloated stomach.
In addition, milk could also cause a disturbance on your digestion especially if you have a low lactose tolerance. You could sometimes experience a feeling of all the foods you eat are wrestling inside. This may also result to mild to moderate tummy ache then a fart. The best thing to do is to observe how your body reacts to milk. This can also be applied to everything you eat and drink so you would not have to deal with a bloated stomach or sweat in preventing that smelly fart from coming out.
You could also opt to drink tea. Some good teas that could prevent smelly farts are peppermint tea, spearmint tea and caraway tea. In addition, a peppermint instead of gum to freshen the breath will help in reducing the frequency of fart and its smell.
If you want to stop sleeping flatulence, a common home remedy is by mixing water and brandy and drinking the mixture before bedtime. Ensure that the water is just warm not hot or boiling because this may negatively affect your body.
Plenty of Water
Water is great for cleansing the body inside and out. You should follow the dieticians' advice to drink at least eight glasses of water in a day. It is not only good for the health. It is also great for cleansing the digestive system to give way for another digestion. However, it is not advisable to drink water right after the meal. You may also opt to avoid drinking water during the meal. Doing so is reported to slow down the digestion which may result to a bloated stomach and, finally, a fart.
When you are already caught up with a bloated stomach, you can try drinking a warm water or having a cup of tea. Some people were also able to solve bloated stomach and irregular bowel movements, which left unsolved result to extreme smelly farts, by drinking coffee.
For diarrhea patients, a saline solution is highly recommended. However, there are already drugs as well as natural supplements that are proven to be effective in replacing water during diarrhea.
Herbal Farting Cure
Your diet is not the only way to prevent farting. You may also have herbal remedies as a good option for farting cure. Legumes, cloves and cinnamon are said to be effective in reducing the farting and eliminating the odor. Garlic, when heated, is effective in reducing farting while cinnamon is much more effective in reducing farting when it is cold.
As mentioned earlier, ginger solution is also an effective smelly farts treatment. You can make your solution by putting two or more tablespoons of ginger powder into water. It is much better if the water is warm.
Another farting cure using ginger is by having slices of ginger soaked in lemon juice. The ginger could be chewed whenever you can to cure flatus.
You could also try crushing ginger and pepper and mix it with ground cardamom seeds. Add the mixture of this natural cure of fart in a glass of water and drink.
Natural Supplements against Fart
Lastly, you could also opt to take natural food supplements. Some of them are advised to be taken before meal while others are much better to be taken after a meal. When taking food supplements that are claimed to be an effective too much smelly farts cure, make sure to evaluate the ingredients. Look for natural ingredients that are proven to be effective in reducing the gases in the intestines. As much as possible, you should look for reviews of these products so you would not waste your money.
There are natural supplements that may have organic substances that could inhibit a smelly fart. There are also some supplements designed for improving digestions so that there would be less incompletely digested foods. There are supplements that could not prevent a flatus but would get rid of its smell.
These natural or organic supplements for fart cure may be taken before or after the meal. It all depends on the direction of use so make sure to read it.
With these natural supplements that are said to be effective in curing smelly gas, you may not need to spend too much effort in observing and maintaining your diet because these natural supplements may have the substances that could reduce or prevent farting.
How Much Air Do You Breathe?
If you really want to stop farting, you should also be cautious about the air that you are inhaling. Remember that aside from the high production of gas in the intestines, too much or scarce intake of air may affect the air balance in your body and could lead to excessive farting. It may have a sound and it may also not. It all depends on the vibrations that will be created in a certain part of your anus. The most important thing is that it will not smell – for your and other people's sake. To cure a smelly fart, make sure that you get just enough quantity of foods like egg, meat, beans, cabbage and broccoli and other fart-triggering foods. You should also take less beer and soda or cola that may contribute gas in your digestive system. If you want to, you could also opt to try some natural supplements that may lessen get rid of the smell if not the fart.

A 70% increase in Michigan's foreclosure
activity propelled that states foreclosure rate to second highest among
the states. Michigan recently reported 11,554 new foreclosure filings,
a foreclosure rate of one new foreclosure filing for every 366 households.
The state's foreclosure total was the fourth highest reported by any state
and more than twice the number reported in January 2006. This has resulted
with a growing number of auctions and bank owned real estate on the Michigan
When the process is complete, it is
said that the lender has foreclosed its mortgage or lien. There are unique
legal factors to consider when buying bank owned property foreclosures,
so be sure to consult with legal council prior to entering into agreements
to purchase.
Appreciation - The difference
between the increased value of the property and the original value.
Bankruptcy - An action filed
a federal bankruptcy court that allows a creditor to reorganize or discharge
credit obligations due to insolvency. A property owner may halt foreclosure
action by filing bankruptcy. Bankruptcies remain on a credit record for
seven years and can severely limit a person's ability to borrow.
Contingency - A specified condition
that must be fulfilled before a contract becomes firm and binding.
Deed in lieu of foreclosure
- A process whereby the owner, with the approval of the lender, deeds the
property to the lender to avoid foreclosure. Lenders are generally reluctant
to accept a "deed in lieu" unless the title is free and clear of any other
encumbrances junior to theirs and the owners execute an estoppel affidavit
acknowledging that they are acting volitionally, with informed consent.
Due Diligence - Such a measure
of prudence, activity, or assiduity, as is properly to be expected from
a reasonable and prudent man under the particular circumstance.
Equity Right of Redemption
- The right to avoid foreclosure action by paying off the debts, interest,
and fees that have accumulated on the property.
Fair Market Value - The amount
at which property would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing
seller, neither being under any compulsion to buy or sell and both having
reasonable knowledge of the relevant facts.
Foreclosure - A legal procedure
whereby property used as security for a debt is sold to satisfy the debt
in the event of default in payment of the mortgage note or default of other
terms in the mortgage document. The foreclosure procedure brings the rights
of all parties to a conclusion and passes the title in the mortgaged property
to either the holder of the mortgage or a third party who may purchase
the realty at the foreclosure sale, free of all encumbrances affecting
the property subsequent to the mortgage.
Hypothecate - When you use
something as security and still retain possession of it.
Instrument - A legal
written document.
Foreclosure - A foreclosure process which is executed via a court action.
Lis pendens
- A term meaning "legal action pending" that gives notice of an action
or proceeding affecting the title of the property.
lien - A claim created by state statutes for the purpose of securing
priority of payment of the price or value of work performed and materials
furnished in erecting or repairing a building or other structure, and as
such, attaches to the land as well as buildings and improvements erected
- An interest in land created by a written instrument providing security
for the performance of a duty or the payment of a debt.
- The entity, usually a bank or financial institution, who lends money
to a borrower.
- The person who borrows the money from a lender to purchase a property.
Notice of
Default (NOD) - A notice that is sent out by the lender when a mortgage
payment is late in an attempt to cure or make the loan current.
Notice of
Rescission - A legal document used when the defaulting party has cured
or corrected the default.
Power of
Sale - A clause commonly inserted in mortgages and deeds of trust that
are in default, giving the mortgagee (or trustee) the right and power to
advertise and sell the mortgaged property at public auction to satisfy
the debt.
- Term used to discuss delinquent properties before they go to the foreclosure
Quit Claim
Deed - A deed of conveyance that releases any title, interest, or claim,
which the grantor may have in the premises.
Real Estate
Owned (REO) - Property acquired back by the lender after it has gone
to auction.
Period - The time allotted to the mortgagor to reclaim his/her property
after it has been sold at an auction. Not all states have a redemption
Second Mortgage
- A second loan placed upon a property in addition to an existing first
Sale - The sale of a property to satisfy a debt or judgment.

I know that the pressure keeps the water temp down, but if there is too much pressure forcing the fluid out and superheating the coolant mabye it would help. I guess coolant would blow out with the air and exhaust. I'll try anything now. I might even try Blue Devil. I'm definitely not one of those that thinks pouring a lot of $$ and labor into the engine of a 5 or 6k car with over 100k (and then having something else go) is worth it. Think there's a call for '99 Deville DeElegance parts??

A month on and the capital is still reeling from the Saatchi/Lawson drama, technically the fraud trial of their employees the Grillo sisters. The cause of this collective lurch has not been the allegations of the Domestic Goddess' drug use; instead, we remain giddied by the insight the affair provided into the lifestyles of the super-rich, and of those mere mortals whose role it is to serve them.
For every swaggering being who demands burnt toast for breakfast and that their favourite brand of hair gel be bulk-bought, who is obsessed by permanent curtain closure, and wants someone on call to locate television remotes even if they're on hols, so there will be an employee to satisfy this desire. From the Jack-or-Jill-of-all-trades PA to the impeccably starched butler, London's high-net-worth elite pride themselves on having more people than a Renaissance pope.
In the world of celebrity, such human accoutrements have long been part of the show. Fonzworth Bentley, former 'gentleman's gentleman' (the Jeevesian term he favoured) to US rapper Sean 'Puffy' Combs, was obliged to follow his master with a parasol in hot weather. On one occasion, he had to jump straight back on a flight to the States from the Côte d'Azur after neglecting to bring the rapper's chosen ties. In 2005, the Beckhams outbid the Osbournes for a 'super-butler' whose duties included unwrapping the family's Christmas gifts.
Increasingly, however, boasting the requisite support staff is becoming less an ostentation than a necessity (a term used loosely) for the 'civilian' rich. And they are legion. London hosts more than 4,000 individuals with over £20 million per head, making it the city with the highest number of multimillionaires in the world. Flocking to this rich man's playground, these titans require minions to guide them through the demands of the day: be it sourcing the correct chia seeds for breakfast or answering the gold-plated Vertu.
In December, figures from the Inter-national Guild of Professional Butlers confirmed that there are 10,000 such staff working in Britain, some charging up to £300,000 a year. The average income of these 'professional heads of household' ranges between £60,000 and £100,000, but the 'Downton effect' has meant that some can earn more. Agencies are flourishing with British butlers prized across the globe, be it in New York, China or Kazakhstan. We Brits may like to think of ourselves as Downton-esque earl and countess types, but it is as humble Carsons that we shine.
Where once we were satirised as a nation of shopkeepers, now we are fêted as an army of exquisitely vowelled butlers. In a reversal of the conventional stereotype, it is the incoming foreigners who preside, we who serve them. The cream of this attentive crop is rumoured to receive over £1 million a year, plus food, board, lodging, transport and private healthcare.
Some would argue that they deserve every last penny. Butling is a 24/7 career, akin to becoming a human Swiss Army knife with acute OCD. Silver service, exemplary etiquette and the right sort of demeanour are a given. One may also have to embrace cooking, gardening, driving, child supervision, styling, art preservation, gun maintenance and minor psychiatric care.
Other roles may be more obscure. One soul of discretion confides that he has to ensure that guest bedrooms are stocked with tampons and condoms, and take care of their disposal once used. Another that one of her roles was to: 'Keep wife and mistresses apart at house parties — difficult when the latter appeared in the plural. One has to psychically work out the current state-of-relations.'Sara Vestin Rahmani, director of the Bespoke Bureau, an elite domestic placement and training agency for Royals, celebrities and VIPs, tells me that the most unusual task one of her employees has faced was 'having to source two nannies for a pair of meerkat babies'. Her star butler, 37-year-old Adam Dillon, recalls: 'I had to locate a specific type of fine bone china for a dinner party for a friend of my principal who would not dine without it. We got there in the end, but it was horrific looking, cost a fortune, and we never used it again. Still, my lady said it was worth it.'
Dillon earns £90,000 a year, having worked his way up to head of household for a famous British family. 'I care for my principal's personal things — clothes, travel, bookings, reservations, fashion, shopping — and make sure she is always hydrated, vegetable juice to hand, looking pristine. I'm on call 24/7, but I get summers off to see my family, plus private jet travel, my own flat, and bonuses. I love the people I work for, but it is super-hard work. They are fair, but not generous, and they expect an awful lot — sometimes too much.'
The children of the über-rich may be treated like little emperors, or have a status below the family pets. Either way, they are required to reflect their parents' loftier aspirations. The job description for the tutor of Gwyneth Paltrow's offspring back in 2011 advertised a salary of £62,100 a year, plus perks; said paragon would teach Greek, Latin, French, Japanese or Mandarin, and be au fait with philosophy, the arts, chess, drama and sailing. Well might The Sun have declared any such a candidate a 'genius'.
Phineas Pett, 30, of Mayfair's Bright Young Things Tuition, has been teaching for five years. Charges are £50-£70 an hour in London, £250-£300 a day abroad. 'Responsibilities range from tuition in order for the child to do well in a certain exam, to full-on mentoring, guiding the child through school, ensuring they make the right choices (often the case if both parents are unfamiliar with the British system). One of my students was studying Francis Bacon for her art history module. Her father gave her the option of a Bacon painting or a birthday party. She opted for the latter. I was rather impressed by her decision that fun overrules anything materialistic.'
When the wealthy take to the high seas — even if only docked in St Trop — fun and materialism epically coincide. Twenty-something superyacht worker Ella Smith (an alias) notes: 'Money is literally no object. I have been in the middle of the ocean with a boss wanting a certain type of super-expensive truffle for dinner in an hour. This is answered with: "Yes, sir, of course, sir." "No" is not understood. The helicopter is launched and the truffles found and brought back in time. Who cares that it cost $200,000?'
A friend's boss demanded — and received — ice from an iceberg for his Scotch. There is a certain cock-brandishing competition among male owners to come up with the most ludicrously extravagant request. It results in a situation in which having more money than sense is the qualifying feature.
As Smith explains: 'The owner is rich enough to buy the yacht for $30 million, to provide for a crew of ten working 365 days of the year, fuel, berthing costs, bribes for the best spots at ports, food, water toys, anything they want.'
Still, the job is gruelling: 'I spend my days cleaning parts of the boat that will probably never be seen. I use a toothbrush to clean the toilet. Making a king-sized bed takes an hour with the sheets ironed on the bed. Prostitutes are the funniest. Unpacking their suitcase is a hoot! I love checking out all their little outfits. But then when it comes to cleaning jizz off the sheets ten times a day (even when it's still warm), I have to remind myself that I get more money than I ever would in London.' Entry-level wages are £3,000 a month.
My informants agree that the rich can turn childishly incapable as they become ever more detached from normal existence. 'I recognise the 0-60 craziness as lots of my clients have similar schedules to Lawson and Saatchi, together with their reliance on staff,' says Pett. 'A fellow tutor once told me that being super-wealthy allows you to behave in any way you want irrespective of who you are with. This was a great piece of advice as I was dealing with a super-affluent, but very tricky, family who had no idea they were being so curt. They weren't trying to be rude, they were just being themselves.'
Most employees appear sympathetic to their employers, enjoy the otherwise closed world to which they are exposed, and take pride in rising to the more peevish demands. That said, I did come across one PA who referred to her charges as 'the retarded', who were 'unable to distinguish people from apps'. It is a situation that looks likely to be exacerbated as London continues to act as a magnet for the stupendously loaded: oligarchs, non-doms, Beijing billionaires and their ilk.
For Smith, the highs outweigh the lows, even when the shit quite literally hits the fan. 'People may not understand why crew do what they do. It's long hours (you don't go to sleep until the last guest is in bed). You put up with a lot of shit, literally and figuratively: one time I had to clean a guest's shit off the ceiling. How it got there who knows. You don't ask questions. But the money is great and it's all tax-free. The lifestyle is insane when I have time off, I get to travel the world at someone else's expense — and I live on a superyacht!'

Since July 10, I've had one thing on my mind: the Bassmaster Classic.
While it is still six months away, the magnitude of this honor is something I go to bed with at night and wake up with every morning. I have earned the privilege of fishing against the "big boys," the best in the world, and, not to mention, many of my heroes.
Even in a time of such honor for me, I am also very humbled by the entire situation. The past month or so, I feel as if I have been floating on a cloud and watching from above.
I had such huge aspirations as a kid and I have been extremely fortunate enough to see a lot of them become a reality.
For example, I get to write a blog for Bassmaster.com, which gives me the opportunity to connect with fans, assist my sponsors, and, most of all, write what I feel. I get to express opinions, and in some cases, create a following.
Bassmaster, however, isn't where I began writing. I wrote an article for Bass East and also write a monthly article for The Lakecaster, a newspaper in East Texas.
Growing up, I have always been extremely competitive by nature, no matter what it was. I always wanted to win, and to this day nothing has changed. I know as a youngster I would do just about anything to win.
Playing my mom in Monopoly, for example, I would always have a little extra money stashed under the table. I can clearly remember the first bass tournament I ever won -- a Media Bass tournament Individual Series. I was in second until the very end of the tournament; in an unexpected turn of events, the leader got disqualified, marking my first win.
As most fishermen are, I was ecstatic about the win. Funny how things change over time… to this day I despise that win more than anything.
I want to win because I was the best fisherman on the water for that day, or, in talking about the Classic, for three days.
I want to win the Bassmaster Classic. I know I'm a long shot, but I also know my entire life I have been a long shot. Not just fishing-wise, but in life. I was told that I couldn't play football because I was too small. As a freshman in high school, I rounded out at about 5 foot 3, 120 pounds soaking wet. I still played and I still got hit really hard.
Many people didn't know, but I fought through a lot of injuries growing up through high school, as I had to push a little bit harder than everyone else.
It was also my freshman year that I tore both quadriceps muscles in about a two-week span, forming calcium deposits in both legs. Did I let that stop me? Absolutely not. I went on to play college football, playing only four months after ACL and meniscus surgery on my right knee. This still didn't keep me down.
I love when things seem impossible to people, and I strive off of that doubt. That's how I am built, and that's how I am made. That doubt is one of many reasons I made the Bassmaster Classic.
For now I have one shot. I have one chance, which may be the last I ever have. I don't have the Elites next year, but I do have the Classic. No one remembers second (unless you're Aaron Martens, which in his case is a truly remarkable feat).
I've got one chance to prove to the world that a college fisherman deserves to be in the Classic. Could you imagine a college fisherman winning the Bassmaster Classic the inaugural year they are brought in to fish it? I can.

2000 C6500 Parking Brake Problem
Hello, we have a 2000 C6500 Kodiak with a parking brake problem. The truck has a Cat engine, AT, and hydraulic brakes. The parking brake is the electric over hydraulic type that activates a tranny mounted drum brake. The shoes are in good condition yet and adjustments are fine. The control part has been acting up. At times the pump runs, but won't build pressure to release. Tapping the solenoid valve seems to get it working. The pump is also working intermittently with sometimes not coming on and therefore not releasing the brake. The cylinder is leaking some too. The truck has low miles on it, but is a bucket truck to do overhead cable work so it has a lot of idle time and the parking brake gets set and released a lot to move short distances.
I've searched and it seems this type system can be known for problems and some have converted to a good ole mechanical lever. Does anyone know if these trucks were available with mechanical brakes? If so, what does it take to convert and short of new at the dealer, does anyone have a suggestion for locating the parts? I've called a couple of truck salvage yards without luck. Thanks for your help.
tapping the solenoid sounds like the plunger is sticking; replace solenoid....the pump working intermittently could be the relay is getting tired; replace relay.....the contact pints inside the relay wear out over time and you state that it turns on/off frequently and that cycling is what wears the contact points out...so it seems early in life compared to the miles
other than converting to a full air brake system; not sure on what options you have.....over the years electric over hydraulic systems have been found to be problematic and feeling weak to the drivers when trying to stop....
Thanks for the reply. I know what it would take to repair the system, but I'd rather scrap it and put in a manual lever instead. That would solve all the problems without worrying about reoccurrance in the future. Any suggestions on that? Thanks.
2000 C6500 Brake Problem
Hi, I am having some of the same issues with my brake on my 2001 C6500. I have electric over hydraulic with my brake locked up. I was just wondering how you made out, or what you did to solve your problem? Also did you find any manuals that would help?
I was able to install a mechanical hand brake assembly & get it working nicely. The bracket to mount the lever to the kick panel of the cab was discontinued so I had to build one, but everything else was available through GM. It took some investigating because there are so many different options- especially for the cable, but I should have all the part numbers written down. The other thing that took a little thought was getting the warning system working right. I removed the control box completely & it ended up only needing a simple wire install. I have the truck at the shop right now & can look at the brake tomorrow if you'd like.
i am looking to do this to my truck this weekend. i m going to go to the junk yard this weekend and take the hand brake and cable out a parts truck. is there anything special i have to do to remove the power brake box? do i have the change the lever on the trans brake or are they both the same?
i got another related question. when your brakes lock up, is it the hydrolic brakes (calipers) locking up? i am having an issue with now with my rear calipers locking up. my truck came with the power parking brake set up. that was removed my precious owner and a line lock was put in place. i recently had my ps pump die. of course power brakes went with it and my rear calipers are locking up. not sure if its the line lock failing or if this power brake setup can actually activate the hydrolic rear brake and lock them on its own.
I found out the control module is a black box, it is located inside the cab on the kick panel on the left side (drivers side),it shows two numbers flashing, if you take the cover off and touch the two terminals together with a screw driver or any metal object it will flash the code, mine is flashing code 03, now I just have to find out what 03 means.
As for as the calipers go I think they just go bad and lock up, it's a good idea to have your hydrolic system flushed every 5 years it is really worth the trouble and money you spend, Good Luck
4x4 Nut. did you have to drill a hole in the firewall for the ebrake cable? i drilled out the rivits that hole the brake warning box bracket. all the holes to mount the ebrake handle are no there. i also dont see a hole to fish out the ebrake cable.
if you have any pictures id greatly appreciate it. also let me know what wiring you did for the warning system as i removed my box.

For the first time ever, the Avon edition of The Phantom is back in print! Hermes Press is proud to announce that they will be publishing all fifteen pocket Avon books, starting in August 2016, every other month! Book one starts off with Lee Falk explaining, via the twentieth Phantom, the histories of the Phantoms that came before the current Ghost Who Walks.

This first exciting book in the series, titled "The Story of The Phantom: The Ghost Who Walks," tells the story of the childhood and adolescence of the twenty-first Phantom. His father, the twentieth Phantom, regales the reader and young Kit Walker of the men who came before him: the fighter who beat Redbeard the Pirate, while gaining the heart of Queen Natala; the harrowing actions that the twentieth Phantom took to regain the friendship of the Rope People, and many more stories!
In this opening to the series, we also meet Diana Palmer– the love of the Phantom, the woman who always can count on the Phantom to rescue her, even before he becomes The Ghost Who Walks.
This thrilling beginning shows the man behind the mask, as Kit and Guran, his confident and friend, embark on the first of many adventures. Be sure to tune in, because you'd hate to come in late to this tale!

" 94-96 Ratchawong Rd , T.Chang Moi A.Muang, Chiang Mai 53000, Thailand "
We were originally staying in another hostel in Chiang Mai, Thailand, which we decided to move from due to the guests of cockroaches that it had (see my review on Ben Guest House). A couple of our friends said they had seen a nice looking hotel slightly out of the city centre which offered a room with an ensuite, a TV and breakfast included all for only 250 Baht (£3.75) a night. We thought that this really wasn't very likely but we just wanted to get out of the other place so we walked around having a look. And, sure enough, they were right.
From the outside the New Mitrapap Hotel looked lovely and plush and it was a proper 3* hotel, not a hostel or guest house like we were used to, so we went inside to inquire on prices thinking that it would never be that cheap, but it was. We asked to take a peek at our room first just to make sure this wasn't some kind of scam where we'd end up with a really crappy room but the room was just perfect. At the time it felt like we were about to move into heaven as we'd been staying in cheap huts and hostels for a couple of months and the change to this hotel really did feel like bliss. We immediately booked up a twin room with a fan (the double was a bit more so we just pushed the beds together) and went back to our other hostel to pack our bags straight away.
Inside, the hotel is very clean, sparkly and modern, being newly renovated in 2006. The staff were lovely and friendly and checked us in within seconds and then a bell boy came along to take our bags, which was just unbelievable service for us and we immediately felt really relaxed and happy to be there. Each floor looks slightly like the inside of a prison (but much more colourful and light) with rooms on either side facing each other and a banister in the centre overlooking the lower floors. Our room was large and light coloured and was also very clean and modern. The two big comfy beds were perfectly made up and we just flopped down onto our beds as soon as we got in there with the relief of having somewhere so comfy to lie. The toilet and shower room was fairly small but without a single speck of dirt. We had a huge window facing out onto the street and the fan worked really well to keep us cool. We also had a telephone in the room so our family could call us from home which I loved as none of the other places we had stayed in South East Asia had one. We had daily maid service which included big fresh bottles of water at no extra charge.
Breakfast was included in the cost of the room which consisted of toast, spreads and hot drinks. Breakfast was laid out in the foyer where there were a few tables and chairs and a large flat screen TV but there were never many people around as I think the hotel is mainly used by guests there on business.
From the city centre, main street and night markets, it is a rough 15 minute walk or a cheap 5 minute tuk tuk ride. Although it isn't directly in the centre and further away than our other hostel was, we much preferred this place. It was cheaper so the cost of a tuk tuk didn't matter, and it was such a clean and brilliant hotel rather than a cockroach infested guest house - who wouldn't prefer it? A few of the tuk tuk drivers weren't sure of its location because it's so new but if you simply showed them a map or told them another hotel in the same street they found it easily from there.
This really was the most perfect place we stayed in and I really would recommend it as the best place to stay in Chiang Mai. If I ever go back, I wouldn't even look around at other accommodation. It felt just like pure luxury and it gave us a chance to eventually relax and just enjoy ourselves and not have to worry about anything. The New Mitrapap Hotel really is a top class hotel.

Re: Most common complaints.
1) Lack of LED lighting as a standard feature. I'm not asking for the HID swivel lights....just the simple LEDs... Hondas and Hyundai's have them on all their models.... What gives? I've sounded like a broken record on this topic....big pet peeve of mine when most of us are spending in the 40's + for this car.
2) My seat creaks from time to time...had an issue with that a month back, dealer fixed it....however, there's now another creaking problem that I have not been able to pin point where its coming from..
3) I'm actually very satisfied with CUE and the Navigation. Totally beats the I-Drive and Nav. in the 2011 BMW 3 that I came from
4) Wish the passenger side mirror dimmed like the driver's and rear-view. Kinda stupid to not do the passenger side.
5) Can't rip CD's to the vehicle's hard drive. That was a really cool feature my old BMW. As sophisticated as CUE is, I'm very surprised that the system can't download CD's into an onboard hard drive.
6) Heated seats don't heat up as fast or keep as warm as the BMW....
Other than these nit picky things, my ATS has been pretty much flawless.... Hope your's is too...

Re: Most common complaints.
On the first point the reason it's not on all models is to give the premium and performance models a distinctive look. Having them on all the Hyundai models doesn't make Hyundais more appealing to me. On your second point how old are you? I know I creak more than I used to and there are times that I make noises I've never heard before and wondered if they really came from me. Like you I also like CUE and the Nav. As far as the heated seats go I haven't had a chance to use them yet but from what your saying I may like them. I know my Audi seats got too warm and I didn't keep them on very long otherwise I would end up with monkey butt.

Re: Most common complaints.
Hello GM,
I have had enough...... I plan (after i get the check engine light fixed) to sell my 2013 ATS V-6. After 6 recalls and all the problems i have had (most minor) I can not keep driving the 50 miles to have this car repaired. I have 28,699 miles on it. I had it at the dealer for a week to repair a driver assist problem. Now the check engine light came on and back to the dealer i go tomorrow. I am off Cadillac and will try to find a car that was built with care. Sorry GM, I tried.

Re: Most common complaints.
I like almost everything about my 2014 ATS 3.6 RWD except the CUE system. I find it difficult and dangerous to use. If I want to change the fan speed or temperature I must take my eye off the road. Even then I may not have achieved the correct settings because of the stupid touch controls.I did not renew the traffic portion of the Sirius subscription so now I am without traffic
information. I am so dissatisfied with CUE I am shopping for the Audi S3. It has button controls for everything !
Re: Most common complaints.

Re: Most common complaints.
First off I love the ATS the paint color is awesome, and the stereo is just ridiculous love it for a stock system, and it gets great looks I love the styling and edges of the car.
- the runflats on the 18" rims are just brutal, I've had two sidewall blowouts, and now moved to Michelin PSS.
- the steering wheel controls are akward and too big/stick out.
- the CUE system when I get a phone call doesn't revert to the previous screen before I took a call.
- no updates on the CUE system at all.. hello Cadillac?
- the CUE system makes me have to move my hand to see the screen where I need to touch, driver distraction issue. The top of the screen to switch between functions should always be available.
- the TPMS sensors are constantly problematic, I've been to the dealer twice now and still constantly flagging me up even though pressure is good.
- the headrest is a little uncomfortable and needs to be able to adjust back more, yes I know it does adjust backwards.
- the tuning in the lower RPM range on the 2.0T could use a little work, sometimes it'll lag bad in the wrong gear and feel like it's really struggling, takes a second or two to come out of but when merging in Houston traffic, that can be a slight oh crap moment.
- LED lights should have been the default for all headlights.
- remote start/locking can be a bit finicky..

Redcar & Cleveland College get Royal opening
Thursday 12 February 2009
Redcar & Cleveland College's £26m new campus received a Royal seal of approval today (Thursday 12th February), when the Duke of York, HRH Prince Andrew, visited to officially open the building.
Whilst on site the he took a tour of the college, visiting the college's industry leading gas assessment centre and dropped in on a class of engineering students studying for a HNC in Chemical Engineering who were running chemical process simulations in one of the college's high-tech IT Labs.
The Chemical Engineering course gives students a grounding in the principals and processes involved in working in the chemical industry and builds upon the college's strong relationship with the National Skills Academy for the Process Industry based at Wilton.
The Prince, a former serving member of the Royal Navy, also met with students studying the Uniformed Services Pre-Entry course who were carrying out a series of command exercises in the college's sports hall, before joining in a discussion centring on the topic of citizenship.
The courses give young people who are thinking about going on to join the Armed or Emergency Services an insight into and a taste of life in these Services. Students go on to careers in the military and emergency services – in particular the army and police.
He rounded off the visit by unveiling a plaque to mark the official opening of the new campus in the college's atrium in front of hundreds of college staff and students.
Gary Groom, Principal of Redcar & Cleveland College said:
"We are honoured that His Royal Highness is able to be with us here today to open the new Redcar & Cleveland College Campus. The new campus stands as a beacon of vocational learning in the Tees Valley and has already raised the aspirations of the thousands of students who have passed through the doors since the college first opened in September 2008.
"Staff, students and visitors all say how much they love the new building which has exceeded all expectations, there is a palpable sense of pride in the college and the wider community.
"Much of what has been focused upon today reflects the college's excellent provision with a particular focus on its strengths in engineering and the built environment. The Duke has a particular interest in the process industries as we know from his recent visit to the Wilton site and he was particularly impressed by the work that our Chemical Engineering students were doing on process simulation."
Jon Nixon who is studying the Chemical Engineering course said:
"Meeting the Duke was an honour and it is great that he has such a keen interest in the process industries and in particular the local industry here on Teesside.
"He has a real interest in the chemical and process industries which was evident in the kinds of questions he was asking about the simulations we were running when he visited our class."
Dr Graham Hillier, College Chair of Governors at Redcar & Cleveland College, said:
"We are delighted and grateful to be celebrating here today with His Royal Highness, which recognises the journey that has been undertaken by the College and its staff to reach this point.
"We are delighted and grateful to be celebrating here today with His Royal Highness, which recognises the journey that has been undertaken by the College and its staff to reach this point.
"With tremendous effort by all of the staff the College has seen its success rates rise every year over the last four years, this achievement is now culminated by the opening of a new campus which embodies and represents the true brand value of what is the all new Redcar & Cleveland College."

One modestly effective tool that helps me reduce total food intake - miso soup. It is the paste used to make soy sauce - soy and grain, digested by months or years of fermentation. It is rich in free amino acids and short chain peptides - these tell the brain that protein is being digested, turns off the hunger. You could use just about any hydrolyzed/predigested protein.... chicken soup might work if you cooked it long enough with the bones and all.
Just love miso soup and do not eat it often enough. But it would be great smeared like that. Boy JP I did not know you were such a foodie until this post started. How much wt have you lost so far???I lost 3 lbs the past 2 weeks.
Yes food is a very powerful aphrodisiac and can be used to win over people, especially when made with lots of love. Ever see the movie "Babettes Feast"?? I highly recommend this movie.Have a good day, Wow, it is actually raining here today.
Oh this is what I prefer ;)

Foreign, domestic rosé wines vie for bigger share of U.S. market
By Leslie Gevirtz
NEW YORK (Reuters) - A wine battle may be uncorked as imports of rosés from France, Italy, Spain, Germany, South Africa vie for shelf space and a share of the U.S. market, which is good news for consumers.
Last year, exports of the dry, pink wines from France to the United States increased 29 percent by volume and 38 percent by value, according to French officials. Sales of rosés from other countries and within the United States have also gained in popularity.
"Consumer interest has grown. There are more and more excellent California rosés from around the state," said Gladys Horiuchi, a spokeswoman for the Wine Institute, which represents California wineries and affiliated businesses. "That's good for consumers, who have more choices."
Olivier Brun, a French winemaker for Chateau de Brigue in Provence, sampled American rosés during a recent U.S. trip and noted that American rose wines differ in style and taste.
"This is a man's rosé," Brun said after sampling a glass of Pedernales Cellars' Texas Dry Rosé, adding that it reminded him of an older style of rosé he made decades ago.
Because of the wine's light cherry color he was expecting it to be sweet, but like his French rosé it was very dry.
"This one has lots of red fruits. It is not bad, but it is not our style," Brun said. He described Provence rosé as dry, crisp and filled with the aromas of fresh fruit.
But Pedernales winemaker David Kuhlken noted that the High Plains of Texas and his blend of Mourvedre and Tempranillo grapes are meant to evoke the terroir of Texas, not Provence. Continued...

Evangelical Community Hospital helped save my life. Several years ago, I received a serious diagnosis that required constant medical care, much of which was provided by Evan. During that time, I received expert and compassionate care in each and every contact I had with the Hospital's staff.
I have a new appreciation for advanced healthcare that we have right here in the Susquehanna Valley. I've learned Evangelical Community Hospital routinely seeks to improve in order to address the needs of Valley residents. Evan continues to expand, even in these challenging times.
In 2012, the Hospital will open its new addition. The 41,000 square foot Surgical & Cardiovascular Expansion Project will provide space on the first floor for two cardiac catheterization labs and a new home for cardiac rehab. The second floor will house eight new operating rooms and a pre- and post-operative patient care area. Existing spaces, including One Day Surgery, are already being renovated.
Evangelical Community Hospital is a proven healthcare leader in the Valley, which is why my family and I have been loyal supporters of the Hospital for more than 15 years. Without our financial support, Evan could not maintain the services that improve the lives of our family, friends and neighbors - I am living proof.
I hope you'll join Heidi and me in making a gift to Evangelical Community Hospital and perhaps designate a portion of it to the Surgical & Cardiovascular Expansion project this year. Every new gift made before Dec. 31 will be generously matched by the Degenstein Foundation (up to a total of $150,000).
Thank you for your consideration and for your support of Evangelical Community Hospital.
Chris Bingaman
Grateful Patient

Harmonic analysis of input current of single phase uncontrolled rectifier is widely known. However, little has been known about harmonic of the input current of single phase controlled or thyristor rectifier. This paper presents such an analysis using the bridge configuration for the controlled rectifier circuit. Results obtained from mathematical derivation, computer simulation, and hardware measurements will also be discussed.

HBO has released a new preview for the final season of Boardwalk Empire. Above, you can learn that season 5 will take place 7 years after the last season, in 1931. The show has leapfrogged a lot of things that would have made for some pretty incredible drama: Al Capone's St. Valentine's Day Massacre, the October 29, 1929 stock market crash, and the slow winding down of prohibition.
This season promises a look at young Nucky so that the audience can better understand who he is as his story comes to an end. Watch the preview above and see for yourself.

Shanghai Yang Zhou
The chef at Shanghai Yang Zhou makes nice little steamed dumplings
as well as larger, pan-fried ones.
In case you're wondering how they get the soup inside, it's by simmering an ultra-spicy pork and chicken stock and allowing it to cool and set. Then a jellied dollop is wrapped into a circular piece of dough, which is twisted tightly to keep the liquid inside. The trick is to keep the wrapper as translucent as possible without it bursting. As in most Shanghai eateries, Yang Zhou also serves larger, pan-fried dumplings with a satisfyingly golden crisp bottom and fluffy top. Inside they are juicy without being soupy. Same rules and rituals apply, but there's no way you'll get the whole thing in your mouth in one go.
