Tower Bridge is recognised around the world. It's one of a number of iconic destinations that represents London and Great Britain.
What you see is the chosen design out of 50 others which were submitted to a competition launched by the City of London Corporation. They set up the "Special Bridge Committee" in 1876 to oversee the entries and select the most favoured design.
It took 5 contractors employing 432 construction workers 8 years to Build Tower Bridge. The construction was completed in 1894.
Over 11,000 tons of steel were used for the frame and overhead walkways, supported by the 2 huge piers which had to be sunk into the river bed. The steel frame is delicately concealed by Cornish granite and Portland stone. This is to protect the steel from the elements and provide a more aesthetically pleasing appearance of the whole construction.
Tower Bridge is a bascule bridge (from the French term 'balance scale' or 'see-saw'). The bascules were raised using steam power, taking about a minute to achieve the 86° maximum angle.
Steam power was used until 1976. Since then, electricity has been used to raise the bascules. The steam pumping engines and boilers are on show in the Tower Bridge Exhibition's engine rooms.
In 1977 Tower Bridge was painted red, white and blue to celebrate the Queen's Silver Jubilee. Before this time the bridge was a dull brown.
The walkways which join the tops of the towers were closed to the public in 1910 because of lack of use. People were prepared to wait for the bascules to be lowered rather than climbing the stairs to the tops of the towers.
In 1982 the Tower Bridge exhibition was opened and the walkways were opened to the public as an attraction. Visitors can now walk on a modern glass floor, providing a sky view of the bascules, when they are being raised and a panoramic view of London, 42 metres above the River Thames.

Purple Sky Unfolding
A timeless book
by Alex & Teri Temme
About the Book
What this book is:
Wind carved crimson rock sculptures,
Majestic mountain peaks,
Snow covered sagebrush,
The scent of juniper, cedar, pinion carried on a crisp desert wind.
A patchwork of colors to include;
The richest greens of the forest canopy,
Deepest blues of the cold pacific ocean,
Turquoise skies of the Colorado Plateau,
And thick grey fog stretched across the Pacific North West.
A cast of creatures and characters from history and beyond.
This is a collection of experiences so intense, that they were burned in to my minds' eye;
Stories so full of life that no one mind can contain them.
After reading these stories and poems, you will be driven to hike, sight see and explore the western U.S.
And you will have much to talk about around the campfire, the coffee table or where ever life takes you.
All you will need for this journey is a spirit of adventure and a good pair of boots.

In the spring of 2003, when I was 17, I decided to sign up to a local gym; I went down, signed the relevant forms and booked an induction with a guy called Jack. At this point in my life, I had some niggling doubts about my sexuality, but still considered myself straight and had a girlfriend. When I arrived the next day, Jack came to meet me at the reception desk - even the staunchest heterosexual could not deny that this guy was extremely good looking. Jack was about 6'2'ť and really muscular, he wasn't skinny and lanky, but perfectly in proportion - an Adonis.
The instructor had olive skin, jet black spiky hair, massive brown eyes and a pearly white smile - his face and body was absolutely faultless. As I got chatting to him, I quickly realised that Jack was a really nice guy and not in the least bit aware of his good looks. Although I knew he was handsome, my thoughts on Jack did not progress any further for a few months. But, as I slowly came to terms with the fact that I liked men and women, I quickly realised that I was highly attracted to my sexy gym instructor and had to be mindful not to become aroused while working out.
It would, however, be four years before my cock hungry thoughts of Jack manifested into anything more than a quick jerk in the showers. I had, had a break from the gym after having spinal surgery and when I returned 2.5 stone lighter and much weaker, Jack saw that I needed help. He was incredibly kind and decided that he would help me construct a fixed exercise programme and high protein diet. He rescheduled his shifts when possible to fit in with my regime so he would be there to help me and before I knew it, I was stronger and more muscular than I was before the surgery - and had a mean scar the length of my back to show off too! Throughout these months, Jack and I became close and found we had a lot in common. But one thing we never talked about was our sexuality or whether each other had boyfriends or girlfriends; one evening, however, this would change and it would bring me and Jack closer than I could ever have dreamed.
One day, I had a string of hospital appointments and wasn't able to attend the gym at my usual time. I text Jack the night before to tell him that I would be there in the evening for my workout, I got a speedy reply from him, saying that if I arrived at nine, he would do an hour with me before he went home. I was surprised by his eagerness to spend time with me but was delighted at the prospect of being alone with him! I agreed and after a day of x-rays, scans and blood tests I had some dinner and made my way to the gym - Jack was just showing out the remaining customers and let me in, locking the door behind us.
We began our warm up and as I was doing my stretches I noticed Jack seemed a bit preoccupied. 'What's up mate? You tired? I asked, and to my utter astonishment, Jack fired back - 'Do you have a girlfriend Alan?' I was quite taken aback and hesitated before replying 'No Jack, not at the moment, but I'm always on the look-out for the next guy or girl that takes my fancy!' I awaited his reaction and it felt like we were staring at each other for hours. Then, suddenly Jack burst out laughing 'What?' I said, puzzled by his outburst 'You're kidding' aren't you?' Jack asked through his laughter. 'No Jack, I'm bisexual' are you bothered by that?' I replied half smiling to ease what I thought could turn into an awkward situation 'No cause not' Jack hastily added 'It's just a relief' I was worrying how I would break it to you that I was gay!' We both fell about laughing and began to talk about the ins and outs of our sexuality; it felt so natural after spending four years avoiding the issue. I really felt comfortable and at ease with Jack and my sexual attraction to him was as strong as it always had been. It was that night that I began to realise that my feelings for him maybe reciprocated. It was that night too, that I would find out that they definitely were!
We finished our workout and I went for a shower whilst Jack cashed up and secured the building for the night. When I got to the changing rooms, I ran the shower to warm the water whilst I stripped naked and got my towel and shampoo out of my bag. As I sat on the bench and the room filled with steam, I looked up and caught a glimpse of my naked body in the mirror. My mind was so preoccupied with the discovery that Jack was gay, I hadn't realised that I was sitting naked with a 9'ť concrete boner. After noticing my juicy fat cock was ready for action, I slowly started to stroke back and forth, as my balls swung and softly slapped the edge of the bench. I often have a sneaky wank in the gym showers, so I hastily made my way to the steaming cubicle. I pulled the curtain across and stood under the shower head, the water gushed down and trickled over my chest and soaking my pubes, it fell either side of my stiff cock and cascaded to the floor from my sagging balls. I squirted a dollop of shower gel onto my chest and with both hands began to rub gently into my torso and then slowly across my groin and arse, creating a thick lather of suds which coated my throbbing meat. Using the suds as a lubricant, I began to pound ferociously on my swollen cock whilst teasing my ring by rubbing a finger around it in a circular motion. I began to moan loudly with sheer pleasure - confident that Jack was the only other person in the building and that he would never hear me whilst cashing up downstairs.
As I jerked faster and harder, I thought I heard a sound like a door closing, I cautiously called out to see if Jack answered and when there was no reply, I continued my wank under the steamy shower. A few moments later, as I stood with one hand against the wall, beginning to reach a climax, the shower curtain tore open. I jumped back and spun around to face the most mouth watering sight I had ever seen. Jack was standing, naked and fully erect with his hand wrapped round his cock - I admired the sight, taking in every last detail. His 6'2'ť tanned and muscular body was glistening in the steamy atmosphere and all of his rock hard muscles bulged and twitched. Jack stared at me, not knowing what to say and my eyes were suddenly drawn to his gorgeous cock and balls. The stud's prick was fat and perfectly formed, it was not as long as mine, but was definitely thicker and his bell end was juicy and in good proportion to the shaft. His black pubes were trimmed but not shaven, although his massive, sagging balls were. Jack had a fine coating of black hair on his mammoth chest but his six-pack was bald, other than a neatly trimmed trail of hair leading from his belly button to his groin. The arse came second best only to his gorgeous cock - it was pert, muscular, waxed and totally irresistible. I knew now, that my age old sexual fantasies for my hunky gym instructor would become a reality and boy did he make it a night I would never forget!
Jack stared into my eyes and then down at my cock, he walked slowly towards me, leant in, slipped his tongue between my lips and kissed me passionately as though he'd been wanting to for years. He suddenly pulled away and pushed me back against the wall; Jack slowly dropped to his knees whilst staring seductively into my eyes and gently held my cock around the base. He licked the rim of my bell end and the underside of my shaft until I quivered with the sensation, then Jack opened wide and took my dick into his mouth. As his lips glided back and forth over my pulsating, veiny, rod, Jack moaned with pleasure as his hot, wet mouth generated a sudden flood of precum from my bell end. I had to taste it, so pulled his head away from my cock and shoved my tongue down his throat. The salty precum wet my appetite for Jack's prick and I was eager for my turn. I told him to get up and, as he had done to me, I pushed him against the wall and lowered myself to his package. Jack's cock was perfect, but had become a little flaccid, so I instantly took the whole shaft into my mouth and slowly massaged it with my tongue. The generous girth began to swell in my mouth and it was only seconds before I had to come up for air. It was so thick, juicy and perfectly angled upwards; I began to stroke his cock slowly and then took it into my mouth once more, jerking and sucking simultaneously for a while, until he shuddered and had to withdraw quickly to avoid coming. I caressed Jack's muscular arse and fingered his tight ring whilst we kissed under the steamy shower. Then he turned off the shower and took my hand, guiding me back to the changing area where he laid down some towels and prepared himself for a good, hard fucking.
Jack knelt on the towels and looking at my reflection in the mirror, told me to fuck him. I squatted behind him and spat on his ring; licking in a circular motion around Jack's hole, I jerked his fat cock as his back arched and tensed under my touch. When his arse was well lubed, I spat on my dick and penetrated the sexy instructor. The feeling of his pert, muscular arse slapping against my stomach and pubes made me fuck him harder and faster. We stared at each other's reflection as I pumped Jack's gorgeous ring, he moaned with pleasure as my juicy length ploughed in and out, stretching his gaping hole. As I observed our heated fuck in the mirror, I noticed a string of sticky precum leaking from Jack's bouncing hard on. I withdrew from his quivering sphincter and lunged towards his sticky prick to lap up his salty entre. I stared seductively into his deep brown eyes as I glided my mouth up and down Jack's veiny shaft. His body was so muscular and powerful, I couldn't wait for him to be thrusting inside me.
I lay on my stomach, with my torso propped up with a towel. Jack spat on my ring and began to finger it. I shuddered with the pleasure as he slowly lowered his groin to my wet hole. As Jack slowly penetrated my flinching arse hole, I gasped with each eruption of sensation; I could feel his pubic hair brushing against my cheeks and he lay with his torso pressed and rubbing against my back with each thrust. Jack's swollen cock filled my rectum and as he pumped in and out of me, I could not contain my ecstasy or my sheer delight at having this Adonis fucking me senseless. He lowered his head to mine as his rod glided back and forth and kissed behind my ear. Then, Jack playfully bit my lobe and tugged it making me spasm with the thrill. After several minutes of hard fucking, the stud began to moan and flinch and I could see he was going to cum.
Jack said 'I wanna cum in your mouth and lick it up!', 'Oh yeah! Come on then' I replied, I love cum swapping and doing it with this stud was almost too much for me to handle. Jack stood in front of me jerking his rod ferociously, he moaned louder and louder and then he let out a shout, 'Ahh! Ahh! Oh yeah! Eat it! Eat it!' Jack demanded as five massive eruptions of creamy jizz squirted from his swollen bell end and landed in my mouth and all over my face. As his body writhed with orgasmic spasm, Jack leant forward and began to lick his salty load from around my face he then kissed me passionately, transferring his juice from his tongue to mine. His cum was warm, salty and tasty and I savoured every last drop as he knelt down and jerked my cock whilst sucking the tip.
It wasn't long before I began to reach climax and as Jack lay on his back, I sat on his groin and pumped on my throbbing meat. Within seconds I let out a wail of ecstasy and shot seven jets of sticky cream all over jacks stomach, chest and face. It was the longest and most intense orgasm I had, had for a long time and I didn't want it to end. I sat and looked at Jack, covered in my jizz and couldn't resist licking up every last drop. When I had gathered all of my juice from the stud's gorgeous body I hovered over his open mouth and let my huge load trickle from my mouth to his. He lapped up my salty deposit and we kissed for a while then lay motionless together on the floor, body to body.
My gym instructor had been an amazing fuck and well worth the four year wait; we continued our intense sexual relationship for a couple of years unbeknownst to the rest of the staff and customers, until Jack moved away to be a football coach in the USA. I really miss him still and hope that we'll be together again, one day.

Macedonian Never Greek.
[10] "The Peloponnesian War was a fratricidal war among the Greeks, a fact that was not altered by the intervention of foreign powers, Macedonia, for instance and later the Persian Empire."
Point of Interest: "a fratricidal war among the Greeks", and "of foreign powers, Macedonia and Persia." Macedonia and Persia clearly painted as non-Greek foreign lands? Ancient and modern scholars alike seem to know much more than today's modern Greeks.[Excerpts taken from The Greeks and Persians, from the sixth to the fourth centuries; edited by Hermann Bengston; published by Delacorte Press, New York.]
[11] This passage is taken from "Alexander the Great and the Hellenistic World" By Pierre Jouguet p.179
"After crossing the Spercheios and ravaging the territory of Heracleia, which he could not take, he marched on Thermopylae. The pass was defended. The peoples of Northern Greece -Locrians, Phocians, Megarians, Boeotians, Athenians- had sent their contingents, the largest being that of Aetolians. Antigonos Gonatas and Antiochos had furnished 500 hoplites each."
The term "Northern Greece" does not include Macedonia. Needless to say, Macedonia lay north of northern Greece and it was never a Greek land.
[12] "His death (Pyrrhos) delivered Antigonos from a great danger. He readily recognized Alexander, Pyrrhos' son, as King of Epeiros. He remained master of Macedon and Greece (272). He placed garrisons in Corinth, the Peiraeus, and Chalcis, and tyrants in many cities, such as Argos, Elis, and Sicyon. So, about 270, a great power was constituted, which had all the resources of Macedon and Greece at its disposal, but had a weakness in the impatience with which the Hellenes supported the yoke." ibid p.181-2 [Pierre Jouguet's book]
a) "He remained master of Macedon and Greece." (272). If Macedonia was a 'Greek land', there would be one identifier in this sentence and not two.
b) "but had a weakness in the impatience with which the Hellenes supported the yoke." Hellenes (Greeks) supporting the yoke? And whose yoke were the Hellenes supporting? The Macedonian, of course. The Hellenes, collectively were enslaved by the Macedonians.

Macedonian Never Greek.
[13] The Geographic Background of Greek and Roman History by M.Cary, D.Litt. Oxon Formerly professor of Ancient History at the University of London. On p.303 we find the following description of the Macedonians:
"Morever, the central position of Macedonia, which exposed it to converging onslaughts in times of weakness, gave it the opportunity of quick counter-thrust from inner lines. Thus from the time of Philip II to the coming of the Romans we find its kings laying about them in all directions-eastward across mount Rhodope into the Hebrus valley, where Philip II established Philoppopolis (Plovdiv) as a bridgehead, northward across the Balkan range to the Danube (Alexander in 335 B.C.), and westward to the Albanian coast (Cassander in 314 B.C.).
The lure of Greece and Asia, it is true, diverted Macedonian energies into other objects and reduced attempts at expansion in the Balkan Lands to spasmodic and uncoordinated thrusts. A more systemic policy of 'fanning out', such as the Romans carried out under similar geographic conditions in Italy, might have enable the rulers of Macedon to establish a pax Balkanica."
Now, another compelling reason to dismiss the Greek propaganda as absurd and provocative and they claim that Macedonia was a Greek land. M. Cary does not even include Macedonia in his otherwise extensive and detailed description of Greece. Macedonia is included in the Balkan Lands, together with Thrace.
The lure of Greece and Asia, it is true, diverted Macedonian energies into other objects and reduced attempts at expansion in the Balkan Lands to spasmodic and uncoordinated thrusts. In other words, if Macedonia did not get entangled into the Greek scheme of things, Macedonia could have had pax Balkanica.
[14] Jean Pierre Vernant - "The Greeks" "Athens also imported wood for shipbuilding, wood that for the most part came from northern Greece and from Macedonia." [p.43]
[15] Richard Stoneman - "Alexander the Great" "Alexander the Great was born in summer 356 BC and died thirty-three years later in the month of Daisios (June) 323 BC. He was born the son of Philip, the King of Macedon, a fertile and predominantly pastoral region lying north of classical Greece;" [p.1]
The uncomfortable fact still remains: There is nothing Greek or Hellenic with the ancient Macedonians. Ancient Macedonians enslaved the Hellenes, and Macedon is not part of Greece. The conclusion is inescapable - Ancient Macedonians were distinct and separate ethnicity from the ancient Greeks.

Macedonians had always Greek names, toponyms, ways, heroes, gods, dialect and spread Greek Language and Civilization to the World.
Macedonians named after Greek names ALL the cities they built or renamed.
If any modern white people do what Macedonians did we will call them Macedonians.
Whoever denies Macedonians' Greekness is ignoramus or idiot or an imbecile SlavoSkopian propagandist.

Hahahahahaha......Fake "Rosetta Stone"....all these books talk about two different geographic areas not for two different nations;)
It is the same when we speak today about USA,Great Britain,Canada and Australia!All those countries are aglo-saxonic people but the historians speak about american-british war during American Independence;)
It is the same when we speak about China,Hong Kong and Taiwan!All those countries are chinese but the historians speak aboutthe chinese rule over Hong Kong and chinese attack against Taiwan;)
Please,stop talking in the name of Macedonians because you don't belongto our race!You are Slav who steal our history and name!
We Macedonians are Greeks,and proud for that;)

"Pleasantly surprised, excellent and professional..."
About: Addenbrooke's Hospital Addenbrooke's Hospital Cambridge CB2 0QQ
Posted by Anonymous
What I liked
I visited the hospital in June and was told I would need my wisdom teeth removed. The clinic staff were wonderful and the Dr responsible for my care spent a good amount of time with me explaining the surgery, aftercare etc.
I had my surgery scheduled for September and I must admit I was very apprehensive! This did not remain to be the case as within an hour I had met my nurse who would be responsible for my care, met the anaesthetist, met the surgeon and was admitted to the Day Surgery Unit. I had a short wait and was taken to theatre by an anaesthetic nurse. Once in recovery I was cared for by two lovely nurses before being returned to the DSU. I was offered drinks (with straws) and ice packs to help with the bleeding (this may sound like silly things to note but it seemed care that was appropriate to the surgery I had undergone and is certainly not something I have ever experienced within the other NHS hospitals I have used). I was offered yoghurt and jelly to eat, jugs of water were plentiful and in good reach.
What could be improved
A Dr was called for me post surgery and I did not see them
Hot food was being offered but I was not made aware of it/asked if I wanted anything (was leaving quite late in the day and hadn't eaten anything)
Ward was very cold
Didn't always have my hearing aids in but people would talk to me and expect me to understand/respond. Some kind of symbol discretely on the bed might be appropriate.
Anything else?
Please pass on my thanks to the DSU and to the Max Fac dept, I don't enjoy being in hospital but this was certainly a positive experience
Response from Addenbrooke's Hospital 4 years ago
Thank you for your mostly positive comments. These have been shared with the relevant teams. We were concerned about your comments concerning the doctor not coming to see you, hot food not being offered as well as the issues of your hearing aids. I have shared these comments with the senior nursing team involved - presuming you are speaking about DSU and not a main ward? We will ensure your comments are followed up. Again, thank you for taking the time to comment.

Trump & the Climate Consensus. Bob Zimmerman, BehindtheBlack.com
"The pushback against Trump begins
November 10, 2016 at 9:59 am Robert Zimmerman
Articles today in the science journals Science and Nature give us a taste of the upcoming resistance by the science community to any policy changes put forth by the new Trump administration.
Science: What Trump can—and can't—do all by himself on climate
Nature: Donald Trump's US election win stuns scientists
Both articles assume that the Paris climate agreement is already the law of the land, despite the basic fact that the Senate has not approved it. In fact, if Trump and Congress decide to cut all American ties with it, they can. Right now it is merely something that Obama has agreed to, and under our Constitution, the legalities binding us to that agreement are weak, at best.
This quote from the Science article outlines how the science community plans to structure its resistance:
With oilmen like Harold Hamm, CEO of Continental Resources, and Forrest Lucas, the founder of Lucas Oil, named as potential candidates to lead the Departments of Energy and the Interior, respectively, in a Trump administration, the mostly likely historical analogue for the next few years could be the start of Ronald Reagan's presidency, when he appointed senior officials who were often hostile to the policies of their own agencies. For example, Reagan's Secretary of the Interior, James Watt, wanted to sell off public lands and reduce forest protections, and his EPA head, Anne Gorsuch, moved to soften clear air and water rules. Some agency staff fought back, and there were frequent leaks, resignations, and lawsuits. Both Watt and Gorsuch ultimately resigned amidst political chaos, and were replaced by less polarizing appointments. If Trump follows a similar path, "there could be a whole lot of churn," Victor predicts.
Indeed, Trump may quickly learn the limits of the presidency, Victor adds. "The Oval Office will be a lonely place," he says, if the White House attempts to make radical changes that agency professional staff fiercely opposes. [emphasis mine]
And then there is this quote from the Nature article:
"Trump will be the first anti-science president we have ever had," says Michael Lubell, director of public affairs for the American Physical Society in Washington DC. "The consequences are going to be very, very severe."
Calling Trump "the first anti-science president" is the kind of name-calling that is typical of the left and the Democratic Party. Not only is it a silly statement, based merely on the partisan hatred of Republicans by scientists, almost all of whom are Democratic Party loyalists, it has nothing to do with reality. Scientists have no more right to a blank check from the government than anyone else. They need to justify their research, and show that it is worthwhile. Since the 1990s they have not had to do this, which has resulted in blooming budgets and a lot of questionable results. And I say this as a science guy. Unlike these partisans, however, I also recognize that there is a gigantic amount of needless spending in the science budgets of numerous government agencies. Their budgets have grown significantly since 2000, with little to show for it. It is time to bring that spending under some control.
This is only the first shot across the bow. I have no doubt that the science community plans to link up with the partisan mainstream press to create a full-court press against any policy changes or budget cuts that either Trump or Congress may propose. These people do not respect the concept of democracy, and will resist the will of the public in every way they can."

I actually bought the new Madden not long ago because I wanted something new to play. I took it home and made it through about one quarter of a game, then turned off my PS4 and exchanged it within a week. I'll stick to FIFA and NBA.

Flight Centre's marketing manager, Michelle Smith, sat down with Dubai Eye's The Ticket to send their listeners to the city of love, Paris, and reveal this weeks Deal of the Week!
Experiential travel is becoming the most talked about trend in travel at the moment - when we travel we don't want to be hearded through a city from landmark to landmark and falling victim to tourist traps, rather, we want to feel the heartbeat of the city and live and breathe it like a local does. Travelling should be immersive and food lies at the heart of most unforgettable travel experiences - I will never forget the first time I tasted lemon gelato on the Amalfi Coast or tasting the freshest empanadas from the streets of Buenos Aires - when I travel I hunt for new food experiences, and the more quirky or conceptual the better.
Returning less than 12 hours ago from Paris and spending four days immersing myself in local life, this week's deal of the week is all about living like a local in the City of Lights - and we are going to get you there with return economy flights and 4-nights staying in St-Germain for less than AED5,000.
Where to stay
Paris is home to stunning boutique and designer hotels, and our favourite is the K+K Hotel Cayre located in St-German. The quintessentially Parisian property located right in the heart of the city radiates warm elegance; their dedicated team of concierge are commited to delivering an authentically local experience, showing you where to find the best espresso as well as hidden gems of the neighbourhood.
Where to shop
Galaries Lafayette
While the Dubai Mall does the name some justice, there is nothing like losing an entire day inside Galeries Lafayette Hausmann. In fact, you could lose hours in the basement alone, admiring the seemingly endless styles of shoes from Michael Kors to Marc Jacobs. For one of the most beautiful views of Paris head to the rooftop terrace where you can relax, put your feet up and soak up the stunning vista of Paris's most famous monuments.
Insider Tip: Look up! Built in the 19th century, Galeries Lafayette has one of the most stunning ceilings!
Avenue Montaigne
What is by far the chic-est avenue in Paris, Avenue Montaigne is home to almost all of the fashion houses including Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Valentino and Celine. A designer shoppers paradise, the perfectly preened street makes for a perfect afternoon stroll. After an afternoon of shopping you've earned an espresso - head to L'Avenue, the perfect location to people watch with the Eiffel Tower peaking through the trees in the background. Oh la la.
Le Marais
Le Marais is undeniably the neighbourd en mode at the moment, and rightly so. The area is filled with emerging french fashion designers whose boutiques sometimes rival the quirkiness and attention to design as art galleries! Typically Parisian, the designers in Marais do simple very well - you'll find fashion essentials and minimalist interiors.
Where to eat
Le Fumoir
Dining at Le Fumoir transports you to the days of Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerland as leather bound books line the walls and stunning chandeliers overhead provide the perfect mood lighting. Located directly outside Le Louvre, the historic monument casually lies outside the restaurant windows. Le Fumoir embodies the ritz and old world glamour of Paris. Bookings essential for weekends!
Breizh Cafe
Searching for the best crepe in Paris? Look no further than Breizh Cafe - located in the trendy Le Marais neighbourhood, the quintessentially Parisian creperie serves up sweet and savoury crepes that may be the highlight of your trip. You haven't lived until you've tasted the banana salted caramel.
Le Mary Celeste
This hole in the wall restaurant is located in the trendy Marais neighbourhood - they incorporate seasonal ingredients and employ a sharing concept. The menu changes daily according to sourced ingredients. The service is prompt, albeit with the typical Parisian pompous. The cocktail menu is elegant, and natural grapes are also on the menu. Worth a visit if you're a foodie looking for a chic-hipster establishment outside of the tourist traps.
How to spend a sunny afternoon
St Martin Canal
St Martin has turned a page as an emerging as a mid-scale neighbourhood - with bars and restaurants opening in the neighbourhood and drawing in hipsters with sharing concepts and the hottest Mexican Bar in the city. On a sunny day you'll find the canals spring to life with young and old taking to the banks. Whether you are there for the party, to people watch or spend an afternoon reading a book, the canals of St Martin attract an eclectic crowd that welcomes all.

This is the monthly pricing for IRIS Openbooks
5 clients £75
10 clients £145 increase £70
20 clients £280 increase £135
30 clients £420 increase £140
50 clients £675 increase £255
75 clients £1,012.33 increase £337.33
100 clients £1,300 increase £287.67
150 clients £1,800 increase £500
While the average price seems reasonable the marginal cost of one extra client is incredible high. If you have 150 clients signed up and you get one more they will cost you £500 per month.
At small levels the prices are equally bizarre. You have five clients costing an average of £15 each but your 6th client will cost you £70.
I pointed this out to an IRIS salesman today and he confirmed this was how the pricing worked. I had previously been under the impression that the prices were just examples at different quantities but I was told these are the bands.
Either the IRIS salesman has got it wrong or IRIS have priced themselves out of the market.

Peter - last sentence
possibly both lol
where has your comment gone now have you been got at.....
It's outrageous...
I find I have the same problem with Jaffa Cakes. If I want 13 Jaffa Cakes I have to buy 2 boxes, making the marginal cost for that 1 extra Jaffa Cake about £1.
And Tesco won't let me open another box to buy a single Jaffa Cake.
Calm down dear...
I could, but I don't want or need them.
And you could... get some extra clients. It's no different.
Similar situation with Iris
I'm on a starter pack 100 and towards the end of the year, I needed an additional 5-10 sets of accounts. I had to move up to starter pack 150 - the price jump for the band was quite high.
But I suppose that's a feature of band pricing, the marginal cost only starts to come down when you get towards the end of the bracket.
"I disagree."
It seems that anyone who doesn't agree with you is 'useless, 'incompetent' or talking 'nonsense'. No wonder people prefer to remain anonymous.
I guess the Jaffa Cake analogy was a flippant observation to prove a point. Whatever pricing structure is choosen, it won't be to everyone's liking. If IRIS charged £x per client, someone would complain that there's no volume discount or moan about the inconvenience of having to 'upgrade' every time they wanted to add an extra client. Or if they tried to combine the two price structures, there would be complaints that the pricing was too complicated.
Sometimes in life you have to buy something you don't need in order to get what you want; whether that's Sky TV packages, mobile phone tariffs, packets of Jaffa Cakes, or some other product or service.
Who knows, you may even have some clients who would prefer it if you had a different fee structure...
Hi Peter - you'll be glad to hear that the marginal cost problem has been acknowledged and Iris will be allowing incremental (2 at a time) add ons at the lower end, so give them another call. The downside is that, as a consequence, they have shelved their original plan to give away 20 packets of jaffa cakes when you hit the next order level...hey ho.
Early days
Hi Peter - been on trial with freeserve & then openbooks for nearly 2 months to get the feel for it and have only in the last week started introducing clients. Lilely to have 2-3 to sign on in the next couple of weeks and then anticipate batches of 2-3 at a time, mainly as we don't have the capacity for mass sign up & initial hand holding.
The pricing structure fits in with how we bill generally, ie who benefits from it. If it's mainly us, ie in those cases where we actually keep the books but it would be good to get the client involved, then I'll pay the cost year 1, in others where there's either a shared or major benefit for the client then we might recover 1-4 times the cost in year one. Ultimately though, where most of the take up will be from spreadsheet using clients, one major benefit for us will be better effeciency in supporting & monitoring their books, VAT, tax, dividends etc.
Clients I've shown it to have been really impressed. There will be others who will want to keep on struggling with spreadsheets or even QBs, MYOB, Sage etc but at least we are offering them an alternative and so if again this year they make a bit of a mess of their books, VAT etc, then it will be easier to justify the extra charges to put it right.

SecureProxy browser extension for Chrome provides with the ability to surf the web securely and privately without connecting to a "classic" VPN. It works like a browser proxy and all browsing traffic is encrypted through a secure tunnel.
Stealth against Firewall/DPI: when inspected using DPI technologies, the connections using the SecureProxy don't trigger alerts like a classic VPN would usually do.
There is no need to tunnel all your PC traffic through the VPN: you can have the browser tunneling the traffic through our servers and all other traffic sent via your regular ISP connection.
What's new (v1.8.0): added country flags, changed icons.
Previous update (v1.7.2): added ability to exclude websites or entire TLDs from using the SecureProxy connection to access them.
NOTE: You need an active VPN account from https://vpn.ac to connect using this extension.

Thanks to Lars for providing me with the needed info, I have I think finished my first letter, I will post it here, in hopes that people can read and comment on it, so comments and feedback is welcome, if it gets approved by most, I will submit it for my first letter, as I'm quite proud of this one. so comment away.
My dear beloved Lucretia,[break]
It has been three very long years since I have held you in my arms, and at least 2 years since I had the opportunity to write to you, I wanted to get back to you sooner, but things haven't gone smoothly as I had hoped. On my way to The Observatory, a heavy blizzard came out of nowhere, it blinded us from our path, some of the cadets just dropped everything and ran, their bodies were found several days later and had been picked clean by scavengers. As for the rest of the company, those that were experienced in such weather conditions like this, managed to find shelter, but we had lost most of our equipment in the blizzard and were short on rations. I gave most of my share to Roderick, he was 5 years younger than me, we were close he and I, he bravely stayed out in the freezing conditions to find as much of our equipment as he could, but when he came into the cave that we found, he started to suffer from hypothermia. We tried our best to keep him warm, but most of our stuff were on pack mules, but they too bolted on the first signs of the storm. Roderick died the following day, the ground was too hard to give him a decent burial, I still regret the decision to leave his body behind, it would have been slow going carrying his body with us. I took with me his only precious thing he valued above all else, his small spyglass. He had no family, hardly any friends, I befriended him as he had no one else. He was a good soldier and followed orders to the letter. It was on my orders to send him and a couple more men into the storm, and it is on my conscious he is now dead.
Once the storm cleared, which took many days, we tried to find the rest of the company, I nearly tripped over one of them. His face was laying face down in the snow, most of him was covered, but scavengers clearly found him sooner than we did, his neck was broken, I don't know if he had a struggle with someone or something hit him in the storm, I can't even remember his name. I left his body, we had nothing to carry him with. It was slow going, but the snow completely changed the landscape, it hit this region harder and earlier than last year, I am familiar with this region, but we couldn't see any paths or familiar landmarks, but it was by shear chance we stumbled upon Avendfell, the inhabitants weren't that friendly, but with what little money we had, we were able to buy warm clothes and more rations, it took longer then we thought to reach the nearest town. We reported to the local barracks, and from there we had to go north to deal with a bandit problem that was troubling the region, as the barracks were understaffed and the bandits were regularly preying upon supply caravans.
We mopped most of them up but the last bandit was a wily one, he took out two of my men using a powerful bow that went straight through their armour, they pretty much died on the spot. By the time my company reached the town again, I had lost 1/3 of my remaining company, but our misfortune wasn't to end there.
It took us a lot longer then I planned to reach familiar lands once more, the regions aren't safe for travellers, mercenary groups like my own have tried to keep the paths safe, but it hasn't been an easy job. I know my love you didn't want me to go, but I was honour bound to do so, there were only a handful of veterans in our town, if we didn't help to keep the roads safe, no one will. We can't rely on regulars to do this, they aren't bothered to patrol the wilderness and keep many outlying villages safe from bandits, and they sure have been making a lot of trouble and noise as of late.
But my tale will soon come to an end and the reason I'm writing this letter to you now, and I hope it finds it's way into your hands, it will be the last one you will ever get from me, I'm sorry my love, but my time is short, I'm using what little energy I can to write this before I die. On my way to Hyra, I stepped on an animal trap, by the time my company reached the village, I was feeling ever so unwell. The local medicine man said it was come kind of bacterial infection that he hasn't seen before, and was unable to treat it. I don't have long to live, maybe a week, or maybe a few days.
I regret leaving you, and leaving a friend that I befriended, in a cave without a decent burial. I miss him, and I miss you a great deal more. I regret making you angry and leaving you, forgive me my love, I leave you everything I own. There is a small box under the floorboards in the place where we looked up into the stars, I have left you something there, use it well and I hope you find happiness in time, happiness that I could never provide. I love you, I will always love you
from your beloved husband,

Description by OLDIES.com:
Tex Ritter's illustrious career as a singing cowboy actor earned him legendary status as a western screen star in the '20s and '30s and later as a popular recording artist best remembered for the iconic title theme to High Noon. Tex's strong supporting cast in this Grand National production include silent comedy star Snub Pollard, Marjorie Reynolds, child actor Tommy Bupp and the inimitable Charles King.
Product Description:
Movie Lovers' Ratings & Reviews:
Based on 3 ratings.
Easily one of Tex Ritter's favorite movies, Alpha's version of Tex Rides With the Boy Scouts is a winner. Featuring great cover art, it also includes the dedication prologue ("to all those boy scouts..we dedicate this picture to you!") which ex-boy scouts can use if they need to brush up on thier scout oath. (Most VHS versions deleted this for some reason.)
Marjorie Reynolds, about five years before her role in the Christmas classic "Holiday Inn" shows up and Snub Pollard's shenanigans at the square dance are alone worth the price of admisson.
PS- Contrary to movie legend, that fellow at the square dance is NOT really Wild Bill Hickock, but merely Rodney Orowitz, a paint salesman from Canoga Park who wandered in during the filming. Despite his resemblance to Hickock, he is most fondly recalled for his vocal imitations of Guy Kibee, which he used to do at Hollywood parties.

German-Style Spinach (Or Chard)
Recipe by NurseJaney
One of those handwritten things, which has been in my folder forever. Since we have a bumper crop of swiss chard, it is appearing regularly on the table. Not German, but I frequently add Feta Cheese when served.
Top Review by AZPARZYCH
I really enjoyed this spinach! I made it a little differently, but I think it still turned out the same...I sauteed the bacon in a sauce pan and when it was almost done I added the garlic and onions and cooked through. I then drained the grease and added 1/2 the butter to have the flavor and then followed the recipe from there. I didn't have feta so topped with a little parmesan cheese and it was the right amount of saltiness. Was a nice addition to the chicken and pasta I was having. Made for AUS/NZ Recipe Swap #72.

Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 (10 ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach

Oven-Dried Tomatoes
Recipe by Mirj2338
You can use these in all kinds of recipes, pastas, salads, whatever floats your boats. I also like to snack on these, although the flavor is intense!
Top Review by Bergy
I have made 3 trays of this recipe and am well stocked for the winter. I mixed the oil. squeezed garlic, oregano & oil in a plastic bag then threw in the tomatoes to coat them. Baked for 2 hours and left in the oven until it was completely cool. I have just done a whole tray of GREEN tomatoes and although they have a different flavor from the ripe tomatoes it is very pleasing and I can think of a dozen ways of using them including bruchettas, sauces, salads etc etc. What a before the frost garden saver!!! Thanks Mirjam this is a winner I am still picking green tomatoes from the garden

Highstown (N.J.) Peddie running back Tajiddin Morris has an offer from his favorite school and a commitment could be coming soon.
"I'll have to see how it goes, but I visit Boston College when they play Syracuse and they're my favorite team right now," said the 5-foot-11, 185-pound tailback. "I loved the win over Notre Dame and there's a chance I could commit on my visit."
If Morris doesn't commit, he'll probably set official visits to his other favorites.
"I like Rutgers and they've offered and I'm also looking at Iowa, Virginia and Minnesota," he said. "I also like Lehigh because my brother might be going there."
Morris' brother, Bilal, also plays at The Peddie School but doesn't have the same offers as his brother.
"He's a great player," he said. "I think he's as good as me or better, but he's not quite as tall and that's a big deal I guess. I'd love to play with him, but we both agreed to do what we feel is best for each of us."
Morris has offers from Iowa and Minnesota and Virginia is starting to show a lot of interest of late. Most schools are recruiting him as an athlete.
"I prefer running back so I'll just have to work harder and prove I can play there in college," he said. "I'll play wherever though."
Morris has more than 1,000 yards rushing this season and is also a terrific cornerback prospect.
