Victoria was the daughter of Prince Edward, Duke of the Cape Colony, the fourth son of King George III of British Raj. Both Edward and George died in 1820, so she had to be raised of by German-born exiled Princess Marie Luise Victoria. She came to the throne by the time she was 18 after her father's three elder brothers died at India during the Indian Revolution.
The Kingdom of South Africa was officially a constitutional monarchy, in which the monarchy held few political powers. Yet privately, she was able to influence the government, ministerial appointments, and the policies of the nation. She was a famed national public icon, who was known for her strict standards of her personal morality.
She married her cousin Prince Albert of Benghazi in 1840. They had nine children and 34 grandchildren. Because of this, the South African Royal Family is larger than any royal family except the Bonaparte Royal Family. After Albert died in 1861, Victoria suffered deep mourning and disappeared from public eye. Because of this, some of her power was transferred to the prime minister, but during the later part of her reign, her popularity managed to soar. Her Silver, Golden, and Diamond Jubilees were her most famous celebrations.
The reign of 63 years and 7 months of her reign, which is the longest reign of any South African monarch second longest female monarch reign in history (after Queen Lorraine of France), is known as the Victorian Age. It was an era of industrial, cultural, political, scientific, and military growth and development within the Kingdom of South Africa, and concurrent with it was the expansion of the South African Empire. During that time, the country was caught into conflict with the Portuguese, yet despite overwhelming odds, the South Africans won, giving Victoria a popular public name.

TIPs for Using Television in an ELA Classroom
Nicole Potter
January 13, 2014
Introduction to T.v. in ELA
This page was designed to assist teacher in incorporating television in an English Language Arts class. The lessons provided have been linked with the GRADE of the Alberta Program of Studies, although they could be easily adapted for most Grade 9-12 classes. This page gives a cursory overview of the lessons. For more information, click on the buttons provided with each lesson.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Hush
Reading is no longer as simple as "transmitting facts from the printed page to the mind. Nor are texts perceived any more as that narrow vein of technology known as print media" (quoted in Falter 290). Today's students experience visual messages from a variety of sources that require decoding, from T.V. episodes, to advertisements, to vlogs (video blogs). Students can struggle with decoding visual messages if they have only been taught to decode "traditional" texts such as novels, poetry, or short stories. An excellent place to start to give students the tools and terminology they need to critically view media is Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer ran from 1997-2003, and although many of the episodes could happily find a home in your classroom, this lesson focuses on one: "Hush" (season 4, episode 10). Although it occurs mid-series, the episode is self-contained enough that it can be understood without too much backstory. It is available on Canadian and American Netflix, iTunes, and other online sources. I have provided a promo for the episode below to peak your interest. It may look terrifying; however, it received a Common Sense Media rating of 13, and would be appropriate for Grade 9 and up.
The villains of "Hush" are called The Gentlemen, and their presence causes the town of Sunnydale to lose their voices. Despite the lack of dialogue for X PERCENT of the episode, Buffy and her friends are able to DEFEAT ETC all the while conveying a wide range of emotions. EMOTIONS felt by audience. After students have watched the episode, discuss how the episode was effective, despite the lack of dialogue. Students should be able to recognize various ways meaning is transmitted (body language, music, ETC).
Television Autobiography and Critique
Before students start to negotiate the effect television's politics of representation has on society, they should first recognize the effect that television has on their personal lives. This can be accomplished by students writing an autobiography of their lives that focuses on TV shows they have watched and how those TV shows have affected them. Although this could be done on a basic level (the hours per week students spend watching TV) encourage students to make personal connections.
Talk about politics of representation in TV. Talk about students negotiating. Talk about students identifying one issue (race and gender stereotypes, heteronormativity/homophobia, body image, what teenagers are really like) they disagree with on TV. Create a collage with one side shows TV's representation, and the other side with representations from your life/real life.

LARAMIE, Wyo. -
Wyoming notes | Live results | Live video
The land of surf and sun is the destination for dual action this week, as the University of Wyoming wrestling team faces nonconference opponent Cal Poly on the road Friday.
The details
Matches for the nonconference tilt begin at 8 p.m. MT Friday from Cal Poly's Mott Athletics Center in San Luis Obispo, Calif. Wyoming (4-2 overall, 1-0 Western Wrestling Conference) takes aim at its fourth-straight victory over the Mustangs (0-7) of the Pac-12, as the squads meet for the fifth-consecutive season.
A look at Wyoming
The Pokes produced on a big national stage in their last outing, finishing ninth in the team race in the Southern Scuffle on Jan. 1-2. Four senior UW wrestlers finished on the podium, led by Andy McCulley, who was fifth at 174 pounds. Tyler Cox (sixth at 125), Dakota Friesth (eighth at 165) and Shane Woods (seventh at 197) rounded out the medalists for UW.
Fresh off two tournament performances, the Cowboys haven't competed in dual action since Dec. 11, 2014, when Wyoming shut out conference foe Air Force, 34-0, in Laramie. UW is on a four-dual win streak after starting the season 0-2.
A look at Cal Poly
Though winless for the season, the Mustangs have had some close calls in recent action. Cal Poly lost 23-22 to Northern Colorado on Nov. 21, and 18-15 to Cal Baptist on Nov. 8. In its last competition, Cal Poly placed 13th in the Reno Tournament of Champions on Dec. 21. Nick Fiegener placed fourth at 184 pounds while Victor Trujillo finished sixth at 133 pounds.
He said it
"We have put ourselves in really challenging situations in our last two tournaments," UW head coach Mark Branch said. "We have to get back into the mindset of wrestling in duals. There's no doubt our kids have matured and gotten a taste of the highest level of competition recently.
"From a physical standpoint, we're banged up a bit. That's a challenge, to push through bumps and bruises. In December and January, over a stretch of 12 days, some of our guys wrestled 12 to 13 matches, and now, over the next 24 days, we'll have two matches. It's a different part of the season so we'll have to make some adjustments to the training."
Last meeting/series history
Wyoming was victorious the last time these teams met, which took place in Laramie on Jan. 24, 2014. The Cowboys used the winning efforts of sophomore Tanner Miller, Friesth, sophomore Benjamin Stroh, Woods, senior Leland Pfeifer, Cox and sophomore Cole Mendenhall for the 29-12 victory.
In seven meetings with Cal Poly since 1968, UW has gone 3-4. Wyoming began the series 0-4, but has won the last three meetings. The squads have wrestled every season since 2011.
The probable matchups
125 pounds: #13/12/10 Tyler Cox vs. Isaac Blackburn OR Yoshito Funakoshi (CP)
133: Drew Templeman vs. Jason DelaCruz OR Victor Trujillo (CP)
141: Cole Mendenhall vs. Colton Schilling (CP)
149: Jake Elliott vs. Jacob Leon (CP)
157: Archie Colgan vs. Colt Shorts (CP)

Posted on 08/22/2012 8:26:47 AM PDT by Signalman
Dear Friend,
In this video commentary, I discuss Obamas major strategic blunder that will probably cost him a victory in the election. Tune in!
Blunders would be more accurate. It is amazing how incompetent the regimes campaign has been.
Morris has been saying for months now that Obama is going to lose and lose big due to his horrible record. So why is he now attributing it to a blunder?
Too funny!!
His blunder is pretty obvious. Plunking all of his chips down on Obamacare, which almost nobody likes (not even the Libs, as they are truly Single Payer fans at heart) when the country wanted him to focus on the economy.
Not that his Marxist prescriptions would have fixed the economy, but the perception was created that he was ignoring it in order to push the all-too-unpopular health plan.
He wrote and published a whole book in 2007 dedicated to the 2008 presidential race between Condi Rice and Hillary Clinton. When Morris appears on Bill O'Reilly's it's not so much about political commentary as it is about entertainment. Broadcast journalism is show biz costumed as news.
Morris' point is the polls aren't really moving despite big tv buys (basically tied in registered voters, slight lead for Romney in likely voters) and Obama is playing a turnout game. He's trying to get his base back to 08 levels by moving left and attacking Romney. Morris says the attacks aren't really having much effect because Romney is never going to scare a majority of American Voters like say a Newt would have.
The blunder, in Morris' view, is Obama should have returned to hope&change generalities and reminded people why they liked him in the first place.
That said, Morris has possibly more "inside dem info" than anyone talking conservative. He has a grudge against dems because of the klintoons. That's good enough for me to at least listen to what he has to say.
As to his sex foibles, let the one without sin cast the first stone.
BTW I think your tag line fits for Morris. Is this Dick?
Morris has more credibility than say the bald cajun (Carville), who wrote a book in 2009 decreeing 40 years of Democrat Party Rule...
Thanks for a good, concise summary. I really didn't want to watch the video.
So you will be changing your tagline to " give in and give up or sit down and shut up"?
Its from Blue Oyster Cult... ON YOUR FEET OR ON YOUR KNEES.
When Morris predicts something that we all would like to come to pass it is a worrisome thing, perhaps downright depressing. Morrises's batting average is abysmal for predictions. Only one that I know of came to pass.Generally it is wise to pay close attention to a Morris prediction and bet the other way. When he says that Obama will LOSE! it may just be that for the thoughtful person it is time to emigrate and that time is getting short.
That sounds like Ben Stern father of the once funny Howard Stern.
"Sit down Shut UP"

Cranborne: an estate village
Joël Lacey looks at the symbiosis between the village of Cranborne and the estate with which it shares a name
Published in June '15
It is normally thought that a vital village has to have five things: a pub, a post office, a shop, a church and a village hall. As out-of-town supermarkets, wine drinking, internet shopping, the digital-first provision of public services and indeed atheism have become widespread, more and more villages have lost some of or all of these.
Picture, then, a village of 308 households with a church, village hall, a large shop and post office, two pubs, a restaurant (with another on the way along with a guest lodge and private members' club), a garden centre with gift shop and café, a bookshop, a veterinary surgery, GP surgery with dispensing pharmacy, a lower school with around 100 pupils and a middle school with around 400. Welcome to Utopia, except that this is not Thomas More's 'no place' in the middle of the Atlantic, this is Cranborne, in East Dorset.
So how has an average-sized Dorset village managed to remain so vital, where others have, by comparison, atrophied? A look at the census data tells us that Cranborne has a greater percentage both of 0-15 year-olds (18.4%) and 16-64 year-olds (64.7%) than Dorset as a whole which has 16.3% and 58.5% respectively in those two categories; what Cranborne has much fewer of is retired people. In other words, there is clearly both work and accommodation for those of working age with children and somewhere for those children to go to school.
Once again, though, one has to ask how this has come to be? Part of the answer, and possibly a large part, has to do with the fact that Cranborne is an estate village, that is that the Cranborne Estate owns large tracts of the housing and the countryside around the village.
This is not an attempt to define the village as some kind of Downton Abbey nirvana, but to acknowledge that the estate, which has by definition, very long-term views of property and value, has exercised a deft hand in terms of what one might call enlightened self interest.
A generation or so ago, a previous Viscount Cranborne (the courtesy title bestowed on the presumptive heir to the Marquess of Salisbury who traditionally lives at Cranborne Manor) noticed that the rolls at the schools in Cranborne were falling and that unless pupil numbers could be boosted, the school would likely be closed. His solution was to offer a tract of land at an attractive price to self-builders with school-age children. The houses were built, the school got its boosted rolls and stayed open while other villages' schools closed. There was no immediate, or indeed long-term, financial gain to be made, but ensuring the schools survived the rural population drop meant that Cranborne is now a highly desirable place to bring up children, which attracts working parents with school-age children to want to live in or near the village.
Having this critical mass of parents and children means that other businesses and organisations – which are either independent or which run in partnership with the estate – can survive and thrive. For example the restaurant, La Fosse, which features game from the estate on its menu, has a local population and the village's position as a 'destination' to help its trade. The local shop, which is privately run, is supported by the estate because, quite simply, the village would be a poorer place without it.
Although high street businesses may be the second most obvious public face of the estate, they are a tiny part of it. By definition, a rural estate has its base in the land. In the case of the Cranborne Estate, this includes forestry, farming and the letting of commercial and residential properties. The long view approach of the estate is evidenced by its adoption of continuous cover forestry, whose appeal, according to the Forestry Commission: 'lies in the belief that this approach is suited to an era of multi-purpose forestry where environmental, recreational, aesthetic and other objectives are as important as timber production'.
To give a flavour of the long term nature of this, the Forestry Commission states one must be prepared to wait 30-40 years to see if the desired diversity and self-seeding required by continuous cover forestry has worked. This realignment of the priorities of the agricultural side of the estate's work is also pointed to by the employment of two full-time keepers to create the right habitat (conservation headlands, for example) for wild grey partridge to thrive. This is, as the estate's land agent Gavin Fauvel describes it: 'a conservation shoot without the commercial shooting'. The idea is that there will be nature strips running across much of the estate's farmland, which along with establishing beetle banks and using feeding and brood habitat in arable field margins and strips to promote the population should not only improve the lot of the wild grey partridges, but of wildlife in general. The estate is also seeking to reintroduce hedgerows where, in post-war times when the nation's farmers were strongly encouraged by the government to create wide-open 'efficient' field systems, they had previously been grubbed out. The estate has, since the war, been able to expand its agricultural holdings, owing largely to the force majeur misfortunes of neighbouring estates. It has not all been growth, though. The estate did have to divest some property in the 1980s, when rents were controlled and house prices were relatively low, in order to maintain its income in that decade's recession.
Which brings us perhaps to the most obvious presence of the estate in the village, which lies in the dark teal colour with which the estate's properties are painted. Around 125 properties make up the local property portfolio and each is bedecked in the colours of the estate. As Gavin Fauvel explains: 'there is a quinquennial external redecoration programme; each house is redecorated every five years', so the village looks well tended, which also encourages other property owners to keep their properties looking neat and tidy. The houses that the estate lets are for the long term; many tenants have been there for years and the estate doesn't let to second-homers, but does prioritise those with an existing local connection. It's fair to say that in any village people would like more cheaper property available, particularly to buy, but once bought that property would no longer be available to rent and the estate is not in the house-building business.
Gavin is also keen to point out that whilst the estate owns a portion of the property, it is not disproportionately large in terms of influence and that 'they are nicely kept in check by the other owners'. What he means by this is that although the estate is in a great position to help with supporting community efforts, it is not so powerful that it can dictate the life of the village. So whilst the estate was very much involved in getting Vodafone to add 3G coverage to the village (previously there had been practically no mobile signal at all – let alone a signal that could deal with smartphone data – now there are five base stations in Cranborne) it was a community effort, not a top-down estate implementation.
The estate is subject to the same Parish and District Council planning scrutiny as any other property owner and this drifting away from the notion of the estate as judge and jury is also mirrored by a change in its commercial relationships, as Gavin explains: 'We no longer should be the default employer, but we do want to be encouraging others to employ people.'
This is possibly best illustrated by the two latest partnerships in the village: the lodge/members' club/restaurant, to be called No 10 Castle Street, which is due to open in September and the Cranborne Garden Centre, which was bought from the estate by Claire Whitehead in November 2014 and celebrated its relaunch last month.
Claire had been a regular visitor to the garden centre with her parents (who lived in the Tarrants) and after a career in London, she moved back to Cranborne as a base for her Chartered Building Surveying business just under 10 years ago. When she heard that the Cranborne Manor Garden Centre (as it then was) might be available she felt it was her destiny to run it: 'The estate took a leap of faith in letting me take it over,' she explains. Claire too took a leap of faith as, given the centre's reputation for roses, she had to order in stocks of roses in abundance for the following year (ie this year) before the contracts had
been signed.
It is not just her inherited love of the garden centre that made it such a good fit, though. 'I can't say I'd been waiting to buy a garden centre,' she recalls, 'but this is such a unique place, both in terms its location and because it's so firmly rooted in the community. You really notice in Cranborne that you have a good mix of age-groups, and I've got 16-17 year-olds working, mums coming back to work; I'm able to give people a chance to do something they're good at and that they love without them having to travel outside the village.'
Which is about as appropriate a metaphor for life in Cranborne as one could possibly wish to find. ◗

Pam Dame
Flash light Just got this it's OK. I like how you can see it at night for us older people. Yes you can use the camera with this I always play around with my apps to see if they work. Take a screen shot with it while camera is on it will work. Only thing when you view your pic the camera icon is in lower right. What I can do is crop it out so give it a try. I will try this more later and see if the fifth star will come from me. Adjust clock it will. Ty.
Hayley Martin
Can't adjust clock and don't know how to take pics wen u press camera icon...;( Needs more options to b able to get it to function at all
Deepraj tamang

heinrich louw
Exceent I really like the multi colour display options.
Chelsea Doty
Led flashlight I rate this 5 stars it helps me find anything I need and it's very helpful in the dark it helps me when I can't see and I love the app I downloaded and it helps me very much
marray donaldson
No problems so far but i only used it a couple of times.
Valda Victorine Faustin
Liking it. The neon is pretty. The flash light is bright. No SOS features. Plz add. Cameras feature don't work while flashlight is on. With upgrade I will gv 5 ? s
Timothy Andrews
Pretty good It's a good app it's usefull i think the could add video as well as photo
Imran Zafar
Led flashlight Very best app for mobile led flashlight.
Jeffrey Crouch
Nice app no ads! Only thing I wish it had was a dimmer for the screen. When you open the app your screen brightness goes to 100% which drains your battery faster. I just want the flashlight function and don't really need the extra brightness on the screen.
Oscar N. Rodriguez Jr.
(SO VERY NICE) I really wish everyone had this on their phones because it works in mysterious ways.
Abbi Tubbs
Unhappy Camper This would be a five star rated app EXCEPT, every time I am in the midst of using the flashlight, the darn thing flashes and keeps asking "Rate Us". How many times am I required to rate the same app b 4 the request goes away and stop leaving me in the dark asking for a rating? Not cool dudes, not cool at all.
Spring H Robinson
Will Re-Rate after I have tried it. If it makes my Camera or My Alarms for my Medicine Not work, Will have to Install.
Jayar Castromero
Not bad Great idea but next time add more or make a setting
Jimmy Daniels
Good app No complaints every thing works fine
Jeffery Fletcher
Best ad free light app so far It's simple with one button control for light and camera and light stays on when I turn screen off
Renee Byrne
... Lol just another typical flash light for your phone, only difference is that it has LED colors on the phone screen.... nothing fancy...
kiki miki
Flash Very fantastic and marvelliues flash light..it us state of art...keep the good going
Khalil Ahmad
Ever best. It also gives time and occupies less space.
Anthony Travers
LED FLASHLIGHT w/digital clock This FLASHLIGHT has all you need. It's KOOL!!! IT not only has a great FLASHLIGHT but has a digital clock in many various colors.It's a flashlight,a glowing clock,& shows battery level all at the same time. I love it. Best of all it's FREE.
Maria Bowen
5 in 1 flashlight The makers of cell phone should have came out with this site the day they conjured up the thought of a cell phone and had this out as one of the running apps on the device. It is the most awesome way to use the energy that's in your cell phone battery.
Judith Maloof
Rating This is a great flashlight /clock. Thank you as comes in handy, especially at the movies when I have dropped things out of my purse or glasses or need the time.
Jake K
Terrible The light keeps flashing on an off for no reason. There are way better flash light apps then this one!
Russell Mosley
I love this flashlight. I've tried many but this is the first to stay on when the screen is locked. I hate just bumping the screen and the flashlight going off. That is over now,,thanks!!
kala anand Karandlaje
Ok I will give it 5 stars if u clear the my doubt. My doubt is how can we take the pictures in it
Tom W
Very cool flashlight. The only problem I can see is that you can't adjust the pictures or zoom. My camera in the phone has more features. But as a flashlight and the cool colors I give it 5 stars all day.
Valda Victorine Faustin
Liking it. The neon is pretty. The flash light is bright. No SOS features. Plz add. Cameras feature don't work while flashlight is on. With upgrade I will gv 5 ? s
L4ffing Dogg
Cure for boredom The ability to change led colors is cool. A pleasant way to keep a clock in display. Provides mild entertainment during meetings.
Brilliant Design Absolutely love this it's just perfect . Genius invention great job ? I love the time display on the screen whilst the flashlight is active , no excuses for being home late etc . You never know when they might be a power cut & this brilliant app as it all ! I highly recommend it ! 5 ☆☆☆☆☆ all the way ?
David Cooper
Mr David Cooper Handy to have a torch on you all the time. Clock useful when you wake up in the night and want to know the time
Eli kxf
L E D flashlight Flahlight yes it works well. Different color options for your screen, light from flash is always sane color of course
Bill Davis
It's nice look for it clock but unfortunately it don't tell u in description that u need a flash for flashlight like other apps where u can use just the screen and won't know that until u waste ur time and space installing app.. Other than that it's ok..
Mohamed Mohamed
Flash light I am still confuse about this app. Whats the purpose of using it
EbonyJame Wright
Pretty but... Buttons are useless it does not respond by touching ??
Carl H
Good light Not that impressive however serves a purpose
Jasmeet Singh
Good App is good bt when u open this so lite is automatically on thats the weak point bt anyways app is working good...
Perry Kraft
Give it 5 When the flashlight doesn't turn on automatically with the screen rotation. It's an awesome clock
Stavros Petrosa
Led FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! Light For some reason the designer thought that making the light flash for attention to rate the app within the first 30 seconds of use was a good way to get ratings. Well here is your rating. The only thing that takes this from one star to two is that the LED screen effect is nostalgic for me and the light actually turns on, albeit intermittently. Designer - let your ratings come organically and you would get 5 stars all day. Disrupt basic function.. Poor rating. Thx
Ana Miller
It's... Alright Not being able to find my 'perfect' previous and trying out Many other flashlights, this is the best I've come across to date- I'll be keeping it (unless I find the Org from my prev Samsung Note 4) and using it anytime I need a light
Topalle Prakash
Out standing The best led app the other led flashlight apps consumes more space but this only 4 to 5 mb only salurltation to da person who made da app
don Zefernies
Stupid pop up thing pisses me off Let me use the damn thing and i wouldnt have an issue with the stupid thing

Must Watch: Great Official Trailer for Ben Affleck's The Town
by Alex Billington
July 15, 2010
Source: Apple
You will see this in front of Inception this weekend, but if you want to watch it now (or again), Warner Bros debuted the official trailer for The Town, the new film directed by and starring Ben Affleck. I'm a huge fan of Gone Baby Gone, Affleck's directorial debut, and have been anxiously awaiting this, as I had a feeling it would be incredible. The Town also stars Jeremy Renner, Jon Hamm, Rebecca Hall, and a bunch of other talented actors. This is the first time I've seen this trailer, and I have to say I'm blown away yet again. While I think Affleck isn't bad as an actor, he's definitely a much more talented director. Watch this trailer!
Watch the first official trailer for Ben Affleck's The Town:
You can also watch the official trailer for The Town in High Definition on Apple
As he plans his next job, a longtime thief tries to balance his feelings for a bank manager connected to one of his earlier heists, as well as the FBI agent trying to bring his crew down. Based on Chuck Hogan's book.
The Town is both written and directed by Boston native actor-turned-filmmaker Ben Affleck, who made his feature directorial debut with the drama Gone Baby Gone a few years back. Affleck co-wrote the screenplay with Peter Craig (Waterbug) and Sheldon Turner (Up in the Air). It's based on Chuck Hogan's novel Prince of Thieves first published in 04. Warner Bros will be bringing The Town to theaters this September 17th.

Giggshood is quite a big country surrounded by large Spila, pretty Saskjaowie and long Medina. Its a green country with a big lake, several hills and woods and 3 big mountains. The mountains represents each a star in the Giggshood flag.
1.Capital city Hoodinge: its a modern large city where most of the ppl in Giggshood live. Here you can find all the big universitys, museums, football stadiums and such. Most modern youth around Giggshood dreams of moving to Hoodinge one day.
2.Utlida: 2:nd biggest city, but not as modern and hightech. Woodshill represents the old Giggshood and has smaller houses and a more calm atmosphere. Its also called the "watercity" cause of the river running thru the city. Its the most beautiful town in Giggshood. Here many come for their holiday cause of the mixture of beaches, hills and wonderful nature.
3.Woodshill: a smaller town that are most known for the woods. Also many come here for their holiday, if they dont want the youth that come for the beaches in Woodshill. Here you can go on hikes or take the bus to the nearest mountain, which can be both Briar and Voltaire.
4.Jacobshill: a real old town in the north. Here is the most of Giggshoods industries, and not a place for the modern ppl. Small cottages and a little village with the most common shops, not more or less.
5.Rodney Town: close to the highest moutain Rodney. A great spot for campers och mountain climbers. Here you also can find a big ridingcamp, you can go up half the mountain by horse then walk the last bit.
Giggshood NSC history
Giggshood has participated in the NSC since the 3:rd edition, held in Escotia.
Danny - Tokyo
Result: 3:rd
Comments: It was very close to a victory, it was up to the last voting country to decide the winner... Giggshood was in the lead but ended up 3:rd after the last vote. A great first time though and it made Giggshoode come back for more! Danny ended up being in many charts after the NSC and is now Giggshoods biggest star and a national hero! He says that he looks forward to be in the NSC again!
Laleh - Live Tomorrow
Result: 20:th
Comments: A cold shower after the great first show. Laleh did a quite bad show in the final and didnt get thru to the ppl.
Lambretta - Bimbo
Result: 15:th
Comments: Giggshood had high hopes for Lambretta and they did their best show ever! A 15:th place was a bit lower than expected but both Lambretta and Giggshood was pleased.
Bosson - One In A Million
Result: 19:th (final)
Comments: A dissapointing competition for Giggshood who had the hopes for a top 10 this time. Though we made it from the semi and was very happy and proud about that! Still the bad scores in the finals made Giggshood population riot and the winner of the national finals for NSC7 was a big suprise...
Result: running

The CRCC-Tongguan Investment (Canada) Co., a joint venture with investments from China Railway Construction Corporation Limited (CRCC) and Tongling Nonferrous Metals Group Holdings Co.,Ltd., finally acquired 96.6 percent shares of CorrienteResources Inc. after two setbacks.
The bulletin released by Tongling Nonferrous Metals yesterday evening showed that CRCC-Tongguan purchased all the outstanding common shares of Corriente at a price of 8.60 Canadian dollars in cash per share before the expiry of the offer at 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on May 28, 2010. CRCC and Tongling bought around 76 million common shares of Corriente under the agreement.
CRCC-Tongguan, was founded on Dec. 10, 2009 and it is a 50-50 joint venture by Tongling Nonferrous Metals and CRCC. After the joint venture's establishment, CRCC, Tongling Nonferrous Metals and CorrienteResources Inc. jointly signed an "acquisition support agreement" on Dec. 28, 2009.
According to the agreement, CRCC-Tongguan was set to acquire 100 percent shares of Corriente in 100 percent of cash of offer acquisition.
CorrienteResources Inc., a junior mining company listed in the securities market of Canada and the United States, was set up in Vancouver, Canada. Its main business was to explore and develop copper, gold, silver and gypsum.
The data showed that it is the second largest overseas copper mining acquisition deal for Chinese companies. In accordance with estimation by analysts, the deal can achieve profits of 150 billion yuan in total in a view of the 10 million tons' reserve after the acquisition.
China's consumption in copper accounted for 26.4 percent in 2008, the largest consumer in the world. Currently, China's dependency on copper ore is second only to the iron ore. China relies on imports for two-thirds of its copper ore. Before that, Chinalco successfully acquired Peru Coppe Inc. with 12 million tons of copper volume for the price of 86 million U.S. dollars.

Jacked my cars up also!
SUBMITTED: Friday, April 18, 2014POSTED: Friday, April 18, 2014
I also had work done by Jay. Bad decision on my part. Real quick. First car he did for me when i was driving it down the street the bolt at the bottom of the air bag fell off. I called him and he made it sound like it was my fault and didn't even offer to pay the tow to his shop. Second car i bought off of a friend. All i can say is I'm glad I'm still alive. I was driving 65 on the freeway and the real axle came out from under the car. All the welds the where put on by his shop. He might have changed the name but it's still a hack shack. Never again in my life would i let this guy near my cars..

Five Guys defend Irish price-hike for burger and fries
The new Five Guys all-American burger joint in Belfast's Victoria Square could be taking a bite out of your wallet.
For the world-famous fast food restaurant, which counts US President Barack Obama among its biggest fans, is charging Belfast punters over two quid more for a burger than our American counterparts.
The new restaurant in Victoria Square, Ireland's first Five Guys to open, currently charges £8 for a cheeseburger and £4 for regular fries.
Compare that with a cheeseburger from the Five Guys restaurant on 55th Street in Manhattan, which costs $8.70 including tax (£5.83), or a regular fries at $4.34 including tax (£2.91), and the difference could leave a bad taste in your mouth.
Described as the 'Willie Wonka's of burger craft' by the Washington Post, Five Guys generally receives rave reviews by those who grace its front door.
Some cheesed-off customers have already taken to social media to complain about the prices.
However, even those who have, mostly agree that the food is delicious. On the Five Guys Belfast Facebook page, Aaron Fletcher posted: "I'm going with the richest friends I have so they can help me pay for the most expensive burger in the world lol".
Ryan Campbell wrote: "Trust me – if you's don't reduce your prices you's won't be in Belfast this time next year."
Meanwhile on Twitter, @BangorBBQer Tweeteed: "I had my 1st Five Guys burger this week @FiveGuysUK in Belfast. I must say the burger was really good but very expensive."
And @yeahmegs said: "Five guys opening belfast is amazing but so overpriced but so good".
Five Guys developed a cult following soon after the Murrell family opened a small burger bar back in 1986 in Arlington, Virginia.
The chain counts US President Barack Obama among its biggest fans
There are now over 1,000 Five Guys locations across the globe. When we asked Five Guys about the price difference, they said that there are numerous reasons for the difference in pricing between here and the States.
A spokesperson listed the reasons: "The tax system – their prices are inclusive of the 20% VAT. US prices are before sales tax is added and Five Guys prices are inclusive of 20% VAT which accounts for a lot of the difference.
"The Quality of the food offering – Five Guys do no use freezers.
"All food is prepped fresh every day. As you can appreciate the cost of fresh produce/raw ingredients is priced differently around the world. They don't compromise on the ingredients, no matter what the location of the store is, and so their supply chain is more expensive than the US currently. If either of the above becomes cheaper then they would certainly look at pricing."
Thirdly they added that labour costs also have a part to play in the price difference.

We've turned the calendar to a new month, and now the Big Dance is looming ever larger on the horizon. It won't be more than a few weeks before we begin to preview the lower-rung Division I conference tournaments.
The composition of the 68-team NCAA Tourney field remains quite fluid at the edge of bubble but the rest of the field is taking on some real definition. By this time, we're relatively sure of most of the teams that will make the field.
But there is still a full month of games to be played, and plenty of time for any number of teams to still play their way in, and play their way out, of contention. We recall our latest update in mid-January when we not only had Seton hall in the field, but projected the Pirates as a protected seed; a protracted losing streak later, and we have the Hall as one of the first teams out this week. Meanwhile, Notre Dame, nowhere until a few weeks ago, has used its recent win over top-ranked Syracuse as a springboard to get itself into the Big Dance mix.
Following are our latest Big Dance projections for 2012; straight-up records and RPI numbers are thru February 1.
EAST REGIONAL (Boston)
At Pittsburgh...
1 Syracuse (SUR 22-1, RPI-3) vs. 16 UNC-Asheville (16-7, 137)...Syracuse has relinquished the top spot in the polls but has not yet cost itself a line in the seedings; the Orange still have a number one regional profile, and with C Fab Melo due back in the lineup, we suspect Syracuse keeps this spot in the East. The Big South looks as if it will come down to UNC-Asheville and Cliff Ellis' Coastal Carolina; for the moment, a measured vote for Eddie Beidenbach's Bulldogs, although it will be touch-and-go for UNCA (or whomever wins the Big South Tourney) to avoid one of the play-in games.
8 Wichita State (19-4, 15) vs. 9 Southern Miss (20-3, 43)...Wichita didn't help its case with last weekend's loss to a subpar Drake, but the Shockers helped their at-large case in December with a win over UNLV and should make the Valley at least a 2-bid league again. We're thinking CUSA might be a multi-bid league again as well, with Larry Eustachy's USM now sitting in the driver's seat and looking good for an at-large (if the Golden Eagles need to go that route) after a midweek showdown win over Memphis. At Columbus...
4 Michigan State (17-5, 6) vs. 13 Ohio (18-4, 77)...Tom Izzo's Spartans have taken a couple of tough losses recently, and we have to pay attention to the recent knee injury (though not regarded as season-threatening) suffered by deluxe PF Draymond Green. Still, MSU would be in protected seed territory as of now. Ohio and Akron look to be the class of the MAC, which might have a chance at an extra bid for the first time in a decade. Remember, John Groce's Bobcats pulled a stunner over Georgetown in the sub-regionals two years ago.
5 Virginia (18-3, 24) vs. 12 Washington (14-7, 73)/Texas (13-9, 29)...Tony Bennett's UVa might have a case for a protected seed and still figures in the frame for a 3 or a 4. In any event, the Cavs look destined to return to the Dance. Keep an eye on Washington, which might be emerging as a stealth entry in the watered-down Pac-12; Lorenzo Romar's teams are notorious for making late-season runs, and last week's win at Arizona might signal another uptick down the stretch. For the moment we put the Huskies into the play-in game alongside Texas, which has lot of "good losses" but not enough "good wins" to yet feel comfy.
At Portland...
2 Baylor (19-2, 9) vs. 15 Bucknell (17-6, 99)...Baylor still has plenty of time to put itself on the top line, although the Big Xii is pretty crowded at the top this season with Mizzou and Kansas also looking at protected seeds. Meanwhile, it looks like the alma mater of CBS head honcho Les Moonves, Bucknell, is emerging as the team to beat in the Patriot league, where the regular-season winner will get home-court edge throughout the conference tournament next month. Also in the mix is Bethlemem, PA-based Lehigh, as well as American U, across the street from the NBC Washington studios, where if guys are lucky enough they might get a glimpse of Norah O'Donnell going to work.
7 Temple (15-5, 36) vs. 10 Arkansas (16-6, 68)...As the A-10 goes through its annual shake-out of Big Dance hopefuls, Temple again looks to be one of th survivors, and the Owls have a menacing look these days with C Michael Eric now back in the lineup. The bigger question come March will be if the Owls can survive their first sub-regional test after losing four of those in a row for HC Fran Dunphy. Meanwhile, we're admittedly a bit aggressive on this Arkansas projection, but the Razorbacks' midweek win over Vandy and spotless home mark at Bud Walton Arena might get Mike Anderson's team a serious look from the Selection Committee.
At Nashville...
3 Florida (17-4, 12) vs. 14 Belmont (16-7, 45)...This could be one of those bones the Selection Committee often likes to throw to a worthy mid-major; a few years ago, the Committee put Stephen Curry's Davidson in nearby Charlotte for the sub-regional, and they might do the same with Nashville-based Belmont, which qualifies for the Bridgestone Arena (home of the NHL Predators) sub-regional because it is not the Bruins' home floor. First of all, the Bruins must fight off Mercer in the Atlantic Sun. And drawing Belmont h might not humor Florida's Billy Donovan if the Gators have to draw Rick Byrd's ever-dangerous crew that lost by just 1 at Duke in November.
6 Louisville (17-5, 26) vs. 11 BYU (18-6, 31)...After wobbling in mid-January, Rick Pitino's banged-up Louisville side seems to have stabilized in recent weeks. Remember that the Cards were dumped in the first round last March by Morehead State, and we're not sure the 'Ville looks likely to make a deep run this year, either. Much the same for BYU, which has stayed afloat minus Jimmer Fredette but has not been able to distort enemy defenses as it could when Jimmer was bombing away. But another Sweet 16 trip is unlikely for the Cougs, who also can't find too many more banana peels (such as a recent loss to Loyola Marymount) in their new WCC affiliation if they want stay out of bubble trouble.
SOUTHEAST REGIONAL (Atlanta)
At Louisville...
1 Kentucky (16-1, 2) vs. 16 Mississippi Valley State (4-11, 225)/Stony Brook (8-6, 197)...Now that Syracuse has slipped off of the top perch in the polls, Kentucky has a chance to enter the Big Dance as the number one overall seed. And the Louisville sub-regional at the KFC Yum! Center looks to be a natural fit for Coach Cal's Wildcats. Flip a coin for the SWAC's Big Dance rep; at the moment we project it to be Jerry Rice's alma mater, the Delta Devils of Mississippi Valley State (who scored 29 points in a first-round game vs. Ben Howland's UCLA a few years ago). Whichever team emerges will surely be involved in one of the 16 vs. 16 play-in games. So might the America East champ, at the moment looking to be a race between Long Island's Stony Brook Seawolves and the Albany Great Danes, with the surging Vermont Catamounts and Boston U Terriers hinting that they could also cause trouble in the upcoming conference tourney.
8 Kansas State (15-6, 23) vs. 9 UConn (14-7, 42)...With UConn's losing streak on four straight following Wednesday's setback vs. Georgetown, they're starting to think the unthinkable in Storrs, that maybe the Huskies miss the Dance altogether. We caution that UConn managed to win the whole thing a year ago after finishing just 9-9 in conference play, so we wouldn't worry too much yet, although the Huskies look nothing like a serious March threat at the moment. K-State might be slipping down the seeding queue itself, although it still has enough capital from early-season successes to keep it on the safe side of the cut line for a while.
At Louisville....
4 Murray State (21-0, 39) vs. 13 Middle Tennessee State (20-3, 38)...There will be plenty of discussion regarding Murray's qualifications for protected seed status if the Racers maintain their undefeated record (the last such in the country). Right now we would put Murray at least at a four seed and place it in the near by Louisville sub-regional to boot. The Selection Committee might want to test the Racers, however, with an assignment such as Kermit Davis' dangerous MTSU, which clearly looks the class of the Sun Belt and might be doing enough to earn at-large consideration if it should stumble in the conference tourney.
5 Wisconsin (18-5, 5) vs. 12 Miami-Florida (13-7, 61)...Wisconsin has quickly turned things around after losing three straight to open Big Ten play last month. The pride of Darby, PA, coach Bo Ryan, might think his Badgers deserve a protected seed, but this would not be a bad draw for Wiscy, and the Louisville sub-regional would be within driving distance for red Winnebago caravan to motor down from Madison. We're projecting bit with Miami, but the ACC is not especially strong in the lower half of the table, and we suspect that Jim Larranaga's now-healthy Canes can emerge as the 5th qualifier from the loop.
At Omaha...
2 Kansas (17-4, 4) vs. 15 Davidson (15-5, 80)...No more Stephen Curry at Davidson, but Bill Self might be having some nightmares about the Wildcats when he recalls how close they came to derailing the Kansas express to the 2008 title game in the Elite Eight. And Bob McKillop might have Davidson back in the Dance for the first time sicne after a recent upswing has moved the Wildcats past Bobby Cremins' College of Charleston and into the favored spot in the loop.
7 Gonzaga (17-3, 28) vs. 10 Alabama (14-7, 25)...Some handy non-conference wins over Arizona and Xavier should be gifts that keep on giving for the Zags and keep them on the safe side of the cut line come Selection Sunday. The WCC profile is also strong enough to benefit Mark Few's team, as the Zagaroonies look to make their 14th straight Big Dance appearance. Alabama has tailed off since December and recently broke a 4-game losing streak, and had better be careful to avoid many more potholes if the Tide wishes to avoid bubble trouble.
3 Marquette (19-4, 14) vs. 14 Iona (17-5, 49)...Marquette is emerging as the number two team in this year's Big East and we foresee little trouble in the Golden Eagles securing a protected seed. Iona has been the favorite all season in the Metro-Atlantic, but we wonder if the Gaels will have done enough to have an at-large case if they don't win the conference tourney next month at the very neutral site of the MassMutual Center in Springfield, MA.
6 Harvard (18-2, 35) vs. 11 Xavier (14-7, 56)...Tommy Amaker's Harvard looks good for an at-large bid even in the wildly unlikely scenario that it should be nosed out by someone (Penn, perhaps?) in the Ivies. In the meantime expect the Crimson to be the first Ivy rep to wear white in the sub-regionals since Princeton did it in 1998 against UNLV. As for the "X," it dug itself quite a hole after its meltdown following the Dec. 10 brawl vs. Cincinnati, but appears (with some difficulty) to be digging out of trouble while other A-10 contenders begin to fade.
SOUTHWEST REGIONAL (St. Louis)
At Columbus...
1 Ohio State (19-3, 1) vs. 16 Norfolk State (16-7, 164)/Long Island (15-7, 153)...Although teams are barred from playing on their home floors in the sub-regionals, Ohio State can benefit from a loophole in that the Columbus games will be played at the NHL Blue Jackets' Nationwide Arena and not the Value City Arena on the Buckeyes' campus. So, much as Villanova was able to play in Philadelphia at the Wells Fargo Center in the sub-regional a few years ago, so can OSU paly at Nationwide Arena. The Bucks likely face the winner of one of the 16 vs. 16 play-in games; for this one, we project Bob Dandridge's alma mater Norfolk State Spartans from the MEAC, and the Long Island from the Northeast, although the home team of the Pittsburgh Airport, Robert Morris, figures to fight the Blackbirds for home-court edge and favorite status in next month's conference tourney.
8 Iowa State (16-6, 40) vs. 9 Illinois (16-6, 41)...The Selection Committee doesn't grade on style points, so Illinois is not likely to be docked a grade for its ugly 42-41 midweek win over Michigan State. No one is going to accuse Iowa State of being listless, however, after the Cyclones' back-to-back home wins over Kansas and K-State have Fred Hoiberg's team (for now, at least) on the safe side of the Selection Sunday cut line.
4 Georgetown (16-4, 16) vs. 13 Oral Roberts (20-4, 55)...Georgetown should have very little to worry about regarding its Dance bid, although more slip-ups such as last Saturday's loss at Pitt could begin to jeopardize its protected seed status. Which in this case might not mean much if we're sending the Hoyas out to Portland (more on that in a moment). Meanwhile, they're always expecting a miracle at Oral Roberts, which has emerged as the Summit's team to beat. Who remembers that ORU almost made the Final Four in 1974? And why did the school change its name from the Titans, anyway.
5 San Diego State (19-3, 44) vs. 12 Saint Louis (17-5, 22)...Here's what we meant about the so-called protected seed in this scenario; sometimes a Selection Committee will reward a fifth seed with a more-favorable sub-regional, as it might with SDSU this year and put the Aztecs in Portland. Why? The West is short of quality protected seed candidates, and this is one what to semi-balance that dynamic. A matchup between the Aztecs and Rick Majerus' Saint Louis Billikens would be tasty; the Bills seem to be doing just enough in the A-10 to stay on the safe side of the cut line, while other conference foes are falling the by wayside.
At Greensboro...
2 North Carolina (19-3, 7) vs. 15 Cleveland State (16-4, 60)...The likelihood of both North Carolina and Duke being placed in the Greensboro sub-regional would create an interesting on-site dynamic at the Coliseum, wherein Duke fans would be rooting hard against the Heels in their game, while Carolina supporters do the same to the Blue Devils and offer throaty support for their opponent. Just in case Cleveland State is the Tar Heels' foe, Roy Williams might want to caution his team, because the Vikings were good enough to win at Vanderbilt early in the season.
7 Mississippi State (17-5, 47) vs. 10 Memphis (15-6, 27)..After a bumpy ride in the first month of the season, Josh Pastner's Memphis seems to have stabilized, although the Tigers might not have as strong an at-large case as CUSA rival Southern Miss, which just beat Memphis this week. We suspect that Rick Stansbury's Mississippi State will continue to stay on the safe side of the cut line and scare several opposing coaches come March with a jumbo-sized frontline led by bruisers Renardo Sidney & UTEP transfer Arnett Moultrie.
At Albuquerque...
3 Creighton (20-2, 17) vs. 14 Nevada (18-3, 88)...Creighton looks well-set for a return to the Dance even if the Bluejays should slip next month in Arch Madness at St. Louis. With Wichita State also looking good for an at-large bid, the Valley could become a 3-bid league if someone else can pull an upset in the conference tourney. Meanwhile, Nevada held the nation's longest non-Murray State win streak at 15 in a row entering Thursday night's game vs. Utah State. This would be a rematch of a crackling sub-regional matchup in 2007 won by the Wolf Pack in overtime.
6 Indiana (17-6, 10) vs. 11 Cincinnati (15-7, 51)...Indiana has been going back-and-forth quite a bit the past month, but those earlier wins over likely number one seeds Kentucky and Ohio State are going to keep the Hoosiers in safe territory unless they completely collapse in the next month. The latter might also be true off Cincinnati, which at the moment looks to have done enough to make the field but could be on a slippery slope as well with three straight losses entering the weekend. You can start sounding the alarms at Fifth Third Arena if the Bearcats drop their next game (Feb. 4) vs. DePaul.
WEST REGIONAL (Phoenix)
at Omaha...
1 Missouri (20-2, 8) vs. 16 UT-Arlington (15-5, 93)...Whoever wins the Big XII Tournament probably gets a number one regional seed (as long as it's either Kansas, Baylor, or Missouri). Right now we have a light preference for the Tigers, which gives them the best chance at earning a top seed. The Movin' Mavs of UTA, the home team of Six Flags over Texas, have suddenly pulled clear in the Southland and are likely to be favored over Pat Knight's Lamar Cardinals and others in the conference tourney in the Houston suburb of Katy next month. But remember that the last time UTA won that event in 2008, it entered as an 8th-seeded team.
8 West Virginia (15-8, 30) vs. 9 Cal (17-5, 21)...Bob Huggins' West Virginia has taken n some water with a number of recent losses. It's not enough to put the Mountaineers into bubble trouble just yet, but their seed is sliding. Meanwhile, Cal looks to be the only Pac-12 side with a clear at-large case at the moment (although we have made room for Washington in our updated field as well). Oldtimers might get a kick out of this matchup which would be a rematch of the 1959 NCAA title game won by Pete Newell's Golden Bears over a West Virginia side featuring Jerry West, 71-70.
4 Michigan (16-6, 32) vs. 13 Long Beach State (16-6, 37)...The main question with Long beach is if the 49ers have done enough to secure an at-large berth if they should slip again in the Big West Tourney as they did a year ago. We think the Beach, which played arguably the nation's toughest non-league slate, probably has done enough, although the wins over Pitt and Xavier aren't looking as good as they once did. No matter, expect the 49ers to simply take care of business in the conference tourney at the Honda Center. Meanwhile, Michigan is teetering on protected seed territory; a win on Sunday over Michigan State would certainly help the Wolverines' cause.
5 Saint Mary's (21-2, 18) vs. 12 New Mexico (18-4, 19)/VCU (18-5, 57)...If this looks familiar for VCU, it should, because the Rams began their trek to last year's Final Four in the at-large playoff game at Dayton as well. For this bracket update we out VCU back into the same role, this time vs. Steve Alford's New Mexico side that will have a chance to squeeze into the field as long as the Lobos stay locked in the third spot in the Mountain West.
At Greensboro... 2 Duke (18-3, 11) vs. 15 Weber State (16-4, 116)...Coach K and Duke can probably get back onto the top line, and a win in the ACC Tourney would be a huge boost. Regardless, the Blue Devils look bound for nearby Greensboro in sub-regional action. Weber State has emerged as the team to beat in the Big Sky thanks to one of the nation's top-scorers, Oakland product G Damian Lillard.
7 Vanderbilt (16-6, 33) vs. 10 Purdue (15-7, 34)...Just when it looked like Vandy had straightened everything out and was on course for a protected seed, the Dores gave away a couple of SEC games vs. Mississippi State & Arkansas, which has cost them a couple of rungs on the seeding ladder. Also slipping in recent weeks has been Purdue, which has dropped out of contention for the Big Ten's regular season crown and could be getting into bubble trouble if not forging a turnaround soon.
At Portland....
3 UNLV (20-3, 13) vs. 14 Drexel (18-5, 76)...UNLV appears steaming toward a protected seed, as the Rebels have some very good non-conference wins (North Carolina at the Orleans Hotel Arena in Las Vegas and Illinois at Chicago, plus aa romp past Pac-12 leader Cal at the Thomas & Mack Center, on top of their solid Mountain West profile. We think the Colonial might be a multi-bid league and suggest keeping an eye on Drexel, working on a 10-game win streak after a midweek win at Northeastern, and our pick to survive the CAA Tourney in Richmond next month.
6 Florida State (15-6, 20) vs. 11 Notre Dame (14-8, 64)...We maintain that any team finishing above .500 in Big East play will be looked upon very favorably by the Selection Committee. Which could bode very well for Notre Dame which is also hot in recent weeks, another late-season bonus for Big Dance hopefuls. FSU might thinks it rates better than a six seed after its recent wins over North Carolina and at Duke, and the Noles might get there yet.
Last four in: Texas, Washington, New Mexico, Virginia Commonwealth.Last four out: Stanford, NC State, La Salle, Minnesota. Next four out: Dayton, George Mason, Seton Hall, Oregon.

Second stay for me, third for my husband at this very comfortable hotel. Located in a great location just South East of the main part of the city but fully walkable into the city - the museum area - Van Gogh and Rijks maybe a 10 minute walk. Large comfortable room with spacious bathroom, bathrobes, slippers, complimentary water and kettle. Every night they have a turndown service and make sure all the bathroom supplies are replenished and bring you an apple - nice touch. We didn't eat in the hotel but did have a drink at the bar. Staff were helpful and friendly.
It's a quiet upmarket residential area and there are a couple of great streets nearby for restaurants shops supermarket off licence if you want to stay local in the evening. Beethovenstraat and Cornelis Schuytstraat.
From the airport take a train to Zuid - 1 stop for 3 euro, come out of the station and take the tram no 5 approx 4-5 stops getting off at Beethovenstraat or the next stop on the bridge over the canal, don't go to Central Station in Amsterdam as this will take you way longer. Tram 5 but also tram 24 takes you in and out of the city - the hotel will give you a map. But we mostly walked it taking different routes including through the Vondelpark.
After spending our days walking around the city it was great that we didn't feel we had to haul back in in the evening, we ate at Fidelio on Beethoven - full menu but specials for different price brackets between 12 and 20 euros - I had a fab venison steak for 18.50. We also visited an Italian on Cornelius on the corner, and had breakfast at Le Pain Quotidien same street.
Try the local Amstel Boch beer - lovely amber beer while you are there.
Great visit once again.

We live in a time where the world's most recognizable people are celebrities: thanks to the media these are the people plastered on every television, movie, and magazine cover.
Being a banker is difficult due the public's overwhelming negative attitude towards banking, but even more so with celebrities who are constantly being exposed to the public. Before the media got into full swing with celebrity exposure, there was one family that was still recognizable: the Rothschild family.
A lot can be said for the Rothschild family: they had an impossible amount of money and power across the world, and were influential in how some of the most important moments in the last two centuries played out. For today's society, it's hard to know too much about the Rothschild family since they are so secretive, and that they don't appear to have the same influence over world affairs as they once did after a spread of wealth. Heck, some people still think that they are lizard people of the New World Order that are using us all as puppets, and flying black helicopters over our houses.
Basically, people just know that they were very rich, and were based out of Europe. There are some interesting facts about the family that you should know about as well. They include everything from secret societies, wars, incest, and just about everything else you would expect from a dysfunctional family, not a wealthy one. Here are 10 dark secrets from the wealthiest family in world history: the Rothschild.
#10 – There Is A Long Line Of Incest
When your family has a lot more money than people know what to do with, and just as much power, it can be tempting to not want to have that compromised by outside families marrying their way in. The way that the Rothschild family kept out some of the people that were only after their money: was by marrying each other. As weird as it sounds, it was at least a good financial strategy.
The entire incestual movement was spearheaded by the founder of the family: Mayer Amschel Rothschild. He set the whole line up so that the female members of the Rothschild family were very limited in their marriage options when it came to getting their inheritance. The only way to make absolutely sure that they would be getting money in the future was by marrying their cousins.

Voting is now closed
Well, there were quite a few votes, even after the vote count was set back to zero by accident. Don't worry, I accounted for all of the votes before that happened. The winner is 'Legends of the West' with 13 votes. 'The Marston Chronicles' came in second with 7 votes, and 'Outlaw to the End' came in last with 6 votes.
There were also 2 votes for 'You suck and shouldn't do a series of RDR short stories,' but I'm sure they were just joshin' around...=P
Anyway, thanks to everyone who voted! I'll be changing the title of my first story. I'll be sending messages to every registered user who commented on this blog whenever I post the next story. Thanks, all!

Set on the crazier fringes of 1950s literary London, A Far Cry from Kensington is a delight, hilariously portraying love, fraud, death, evil, and transformation.
Mrs. Hawkins, the majestic narrator of A Far Cry from Kensington, takes us well in hand and leads us back to her threadbare years in postwar London. There, as a fat and much admired young war widow, she spent her days working for a mad, near-bankrupt publisher ("of very good books") and her nights dispensing advice at her small South Kensington rooming house.
At work and at home, Mrs. Hawkins soon uncovered evil: shady literary doings and a deadly enemy; anonymous letters, blackmail, and suicide. With aplomb, however, Mrs. Hawkins confidently set about putting things to order, little imagining the mayhem that would ensue.
Now decades older, thin, successful, and delighted with life in Italy—quite a far cry from Kensington—Mrs. Hawkins looks back to all those dark doings and recounts how her own life changed forever. She still, however, loves to give advice: "It's easy to get thin. You eat and drink the same as always, only half…. I offer this advice without fee; it is included in the price of this book."
A Far Cry from Kensington has been hailed as "outstanding" (Observer), "wickedly and adroitly executed" (New York Times), and "a comedy that holds a tragedy as an eggcup holds an egg." (Philadelphia Inquirer).
"Wickedly and adroitly executed." (The New York Times)

Candle Making Advice
New to making candles?
Need advice on where to start?
Or have you made a few candles and have a basic handling and just want to improve your skill?
Are you curious about using recycled materials for candle craft?
If so I would love to speak with you.
This offer is good for a comfortable exchange of beginner's advice or a short demo video where I can explain some basics to you.
Training & Qualifications
I have been making candles and wax sculpture for about ten years. I am by no means an expert and I am not formally trained. Candle craft is one of my favorite art forms. I use new wax, recycled wax, crayons, and just about anything I can think of to create a cool look!

About Calista Kold
Hello! I am a young human figuring out a balance in life. I hope to share and barter with some great new people. I am currently employed in food service and my creative streak runs deep and wide. ...I don't have any formal education past highschool and I don't let that stop me. Life is my college right now. I have been making candles for over 10 years in my home using recyled materials. I really enjoy wax sculpture, even more than candlemaking. I also enjoy sewing, crochet, kniting, gardening, painting. I am currently working on fixing up my swimming pool sized koi pond. I love crystals and art and outside and learning and plants. I am a very positive person and I hope I can brighten your day.show moreOpen to other proposals
