If nothing else, I would like to think that I am a man of my word and regular readers of this column may have been wondering when I was going to return to the scene of the Gazette team's first – and, to date, last – walk-out.
For those new to the story, in February this year, I went to eat at the latest addition to Morpeth's culinary scene, but ended up in The Electrical Wizard, the JD Wetherspoon pub.
Here's what I said back then: 'Northumberland's first authentic Turkish restaurant was the advert's claim and it sounded an ideal place to visit while our friends were up for the weekend.
'However, the eagle-eyed among you may notice that the name at the top of the page does not sound very Turkish and indeed our efforts to eat at Ephesus, on Morpeth's Bridge Street, on its second night were dashed by what sadly must be described as incompetence.
'I was well aware that there may be teething issues on a new restaurant's first weekend in business, but the menu, available to view on the venue's website, sounded too good to miss.
'An extreme case of laziness perhaps – a drive down the A1 rather than a flight across Europe to the gateway to Asia to get a true taste of Turkey.
'We arrived just after 7pm and were shown to our table after a short wait, but that was the only short wait of the night.
'We did get some drinks by about 7.30pm, but having ordered our food at 7.45pm, we waited until 9pm with no sign of anything arriving before deciding to call it a day due to the need to get something to eat and returning home to Alnwick.
'We weren't the only ones to leave without eating and very few dishes seemed to be making it to the tables upstairs where we were sat – perhaps 'authentic' meant flown in from Istanbul.
'The manager was extremely apologetic as we left and I can only hope that some lessons have been learned and that they can iron out the issues.
'I haven't written Ephesus off for good and, after a few months for them to settle in, I want to give it another go because the extensive menu really did sound very appetising'.
Well, earlier this week – a cold, murky November night – I did give it another go and I'm glad I did, because the appetising menu translated into a tasty Turkish treat.
The menu is also extensive with a range of cold and hot mezze to start, followed by a choice of more than 10 dishes, a similar number of barbecue dishes – cooked over wood charcoals in the traditional Turkish way – and a smaller selection of fish, salad and vegetarian dishes.
In order to taste as wide a range of Turkish food as possible, not being an expert outside kebabs, we opted for the mixed hot platter to start.
Coming in at £9.50 for one or £12.50 for two, which features sucuk, falafel, peynirli borek, hellim and mini kofta.
Falafel. a fried patty of chick peas, which was served on houmous, and the mini kofta, or lamb meatballs, I have had before, the former being pleasingly crunchy on the outside and the latter tender and in a delicately-spiced tomato sauce.
The others were new to me and I enjoyed all three, particularly the sucuk, a spicy garlic sausage. Hellim is a grilled Cypriot cheese while peynirli borek is deep-fried filo pastry filled with feta cheese and parsley.
This was prefaced by fresh, warm bread served with olives and soft cheese, which was a very nice way to start the meal.
For the main course, we both opted for lamb dishes, one guvec and one iskender.
Across the table was the guvec, named for the Turkish earthenware pot which housed the casserole-style dish, featuring diced lamb with mushroom, spinach, aubergines, courgettes, onions, tomatoes, green peppers, garlic and herbs in a rich sauce.
It went down very well, the Turkish version of a winter warmer, but be warned, it was extremely hot and still steaming by the time we had both finished eating.
My iskender is named after its inventor, İskender Efendi, who lived in Bursa in the late 19th century.
The meat was served on a bed of bread and covered with a gently-spiced tomato sauce, which coated the lamb and was soaked up by the bread. The dish was served with butter and natural yoghurt.
Clearly, the first time I tried to eat at Ephesus, the service was not great as we didn't get any food, but this week it was very good. We were welcomed warmly and throughout the night the service was prompt, professional and courteous.
We ate on a chilly, foggy Tuesday night and were the only ones there initially. Nonetheless, the atmosphere was comfortable and relaxed.

Sheepbridge, Nan's Rams and St. Monnina all have 2 wins from 2 league games in Division 1.
Cavern and McSwiggan's are the only 2 teams in Division 2 with 100% league wins.
In the biggest game Thursday night Dan's A welcomed Orchard Bar to Bessbrook in a clash that would tell us a bit more about Dans' potential title challenge.
Dan's got off to a horrible start when Orchard took the first 2 frames. James O'Hagan and a disappointing Niall Connolly succumbing to the super Charlie Broughton and splendid potter Brendan Devlin.
Michael Green put Dan's on the board then old Division 2 individual winner Barney Preece and 2015 overall individual winner Seamus McVerry hit a rich vein of form to put Dan's 3-2 up. A talented PJ McDaniel, Nigel Malcomson and a plucky David Cromie losing out.
Paddy O'Callaghan has started the season well but Mervyn Kernaghan is steady as a rock and the Orchard proprietor squared the match at 3-3.
Niall O'Hagan is a tidy player and he put Dan's back in the driving seat when he beat Scott Miller for 4-3.
Jimmy McVerry kept his place in the Dan's team despite losing last week and he came up against a formidable Richie Crawford. Crawford was favourite for this one and he didn't disappoint when he took a share of the spoils for Orchard.
CWC A inflicted on Ballyholland their first defeat of the season.
Kieran McMahon got his first league win of the season to put it CWC 1 up.
Robbie White is the star of Ballyholland and he equalised for 1-1 when he gave Declan McConville his first CWC defeat..
Stephen Rooney and Harvey Lavelle made it 3-1.
Brendan Keenan beat Bernie Magee and Ballyholland could dream of a major shock at 3-2 down.
Pat Brady made it 4-2 and then Paddy Tavey claimed their first league win at 5-2. Seamus McGeoghegan got his season up and running when he made it 6-2
Hustlers went joint top of the Premier Division after they comfortably beat Bears for the 2nd time this season. Bears already took a beating in the Cunningham Cup from Hustlers and their Horrendous start to the season continued.
Damien Kearney will be happy with his start though he played an average game to beat Anthony Morgan who is struggling for form so far this season. 1-0 Hustlers
Barry Murphy has been good so far while opponent Garry Powell was having a bit of a 'mare'. Quality comes through eventually and Powell tied the match for 1-1.
Mary Cunningham is the new Hustlers signing this season and she is living the dream so far. Cunningham defeated Adrian 'Oz' Holman to give the Bellinis based side a 2-1 lead.
Cathal McCoy can't buy a frame lately and it was the Baby faced Assassin Neil Heaney who inflicted yet another defeat on the Hustlers ace for 2-2.
The match was evenly poised and next up was the deadly Damien 'Diddles' McArdle. He's been potting them from the lampshades and was at it again to beat Seamus the snail Keenan for 3-2 Hustlers.
Ciaran O'Neill put the visitors 4-2 up when he defeated an Eddie Heaney who has the same amount of wins as Crystal Palace have league goals - which is zero.
Shane McAllister was never in trouble against Michael Fitzpatrick and the Hustlers ace wrapped up the win.
Kevin Magee is in the form of his life and and a talented Paddy Heaney stood little chance of stopping a soul destroying 6-2 scoreline.
Whitecross are approaching crisis point and we're only 4 games into the season. Michael Feenan has taken over the helm and his only win so far is against the current bottom club in all 3 Divisions - Madden's Bar.
On Thursday Whitecross took on Trainor's Bar in Camlough who themselves were just off the back of a 7-1 hammering.
Feenan made a plethora of mistakes but probably his biggest was playing himself first against Tommy Mooney. Barney Preece destroyed Feenan last week and Mooney wasn't much more charitable as the Camlough cueiest got his side off to comfortable 1 nil start.
The pressure was now on Brian O'Neill who rarely, if ever plays 2nd. Declan Finnegan is far too good a potter and he made it 2-0.
Cathal Phelan verses Niall McVerry was going to be decided on who got the kinder balls off the break. Phelan's dreadful start to the season continued when McVerry cleared to put Trainor's 3-0 up.
Shane Phelan would have fancied himself to beat Noel Bradley all day long but it was one of those nights as 'The Cross' fell 4 zip down.
Liam Bradley bagged the brace of points when he beat Gareth McCann for 5-0.
At long last one of the hero's for Whitecross last year - Noel Donaldson finally got the visitors on the scoreboard. David Doran maybe not taking it as serious since the points were in the bag.
Lukie Phelan piled the pressure on Feenan when he beat the legendary Martin O'Callaghan. O'Callaghan was Whitecross' top scorer last season and it is a mystery why he played 7th. One can only imagine he arrived late or this was yet another terrible team selection.
Ex-Captain Gavin Malone must have a wry smile as he wonders where it's all going so wrong since he stepped down. Malone made it 6-2 when he beat Francie Kearns.
Whitecross have CWC A next in the league as the pressure mounts for the country sheep herders and especially new captain Michael Feenan. The 2 Phelan's have been dragged down to their standards and will surely be wishing they were on the opposite side of the team sheet next week.
Don't forget the Individuals sheets are out Monday night from 8pm in Bellinis we hope to have a large turnout for Individuals as we have a large prize of £400 cash for this years winner.

There are two reasons for peoples to search a working form home job they are
- Financial independence
- Time flexibility
- Tension free
- Better lifestyle
People say that "make money online for free". Actually making money online do requires some initial start up cost and then you have to reinvest the profit in the process.
So you need a little startup cost to fuel your business. For a home based online business it needs $25 - $100 as a startup cost.
To get your startup cost you don't have to spare it away from your pocket, you yourself can earn that startup cost within a month.(don't worry I will tell you that secret).
Some years back people have to get this startup money all by themselves. But say thanks to Google for their AdSense, they made us to make money without any investment. We can start making money more or less within 48 hours.
So please go and download a free ebook at http://www.immoney.co.cc/ with which you can earn your startup cost.
I just showed you this way of making money online as a model to get your startup cost. But there are peoples out there who are making more than $1000 per month.(no kidding there are proof and they are top class internet marketers).
With this startup cost you can invest in any kind of "working from home opportunities courses". But please stay away from the scams. You have to be more careful when investing or buying stuffs pertaining to "money" because there are some peoples in this niche who tries to lure peoples to buy their crap.
You can find a crap by just seeing the site design. And here are some basic scams in this "money making niche",
- get paid to read emails (you could never be able to even pay you telephone bill)
- get paid to visit sites (never gonna work for anyone)
- get paid email (probably the person who runs thats site will get rich)
- get paid to surf (NO.1 comedy show never ever try this)

Guy Chambers,("Angels") left, and Les Reed, ("Delilah", "The Last Waltz") right, are on our small thumbnail shot. But here's a shot of my Peter Rabbit table decorations. Heston Blumenthal, eat your heart out. Come to think of it, he'd probably do that, eat his own heart as a scientific culinary experiment…
You see, I'm in this thing called The Society Of Distinguished Songwriters, – it's mostly old farts but we have some new farts too. To name but a few, there's, well, me of course, who else? Hmmm. Oh yes, Roger Greenaway (wrote hundreds of hits , many with Roger Cook, including "I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing'" and there's Tim Rice (Knight of the Realm), Don Black, lyricist of all those Bond songs, (as well as "Ben" for Michal Jackson), there's Gary Barlow, Guy Chambers, Tony Hatch. Anyway – there's about 40 of us and you get elected. Nuff said about that, but this year, I'm KING SOD ,which I've been twice before. It takes up time and thought but it's a lot of fun.
You have to organize 3 nights for the lads every year (they all pay subs) – and then a big ball at the end of the year, in some big place -obviously. We all know big balls in small places aren't a good look. You need ladies for a big ball, so we bring our wives and guests.
So anyway, (feminists, look away now) – for last night's dinner, the venue I chose, just for the drinks beforehand – was the Playboy Club. So then I thought, bunnies, – Watership Down, "Bright Eyes"!! So myself and my lovely event helpers from the office put together this rabbit-themed eveing with rabbit on the menu, stuffed miniature rabbit toys as name-place holders, and four Peter Rabbit gardens full of carrots and stuff (pictured) instead of flowers, as table decorations. Michael, our VT editor at Dramatico, put together a reel of every bunny movie clip you could think of, including Bugs Bunny, The White Rabbit, etc, and we had that running in the background. The venue was a penthouse suite with a stunning view of Hyde Park, at the Metropolis Hotel in Old Park Lane, 2 steps from the Playboy Club, so no distance really, to walk to the dinner venue
We tell a lot of jokes at SODS meetings, and this time I imposed a house rule that all jokes must somehow include a reference to rabbits, however tenuous. So lots of fun, and all that.
But here's the thing. The Sods has become something more than a songwriting "social club". Over all these years, it's become a bit of a family. We get a lot of stick because it's just guys, but because it's not really serious and doesn't actually DO anything for humanity, what it really is, is a bunch of like-minded blokes of all ages, who happen to be famous songwrters. And the truth is, you can shoot great big PC-shaped holes in that concept, but I have to say some of my best friends are people I met at Sods. I would never have co-written "A Winter's Tale" if I hadn't met Tim Rice at Sods, about 35 years ago. Some of the older Sods who have passed away now – (Lionel Bart, Mort Schuman, for example) gained a lot of comfort from it in their latter years. So there we sit in our dinner jackets, having a posh dinner, then Les Reed or Guy Chambers or someone gets on the piano (you know what I mean) and maybe there'll be a guitar there, so Bruce Welch or Justin Hayward will strum along to a huge sing-song of stuff from Rock 'n' Roll, or standards, early stuff by Johnny Mercer and all the other greats. It's a real treat. A bit self-indulgent, but frankly there's enough shit in the world, – and in our business. Sometimes you need a night off.
So that's why I love holding songwriters' balls. Not much of a "news story" really, but hey.

Kedma Reviews
November 13, 2009
Actually impressive.
May 31, 2009
De las peores películas que he visto últimamente. Se ha vendido como "gran" cine israelí pero es mala, mala. Un guión pésimo, situaciones que llegan al ridículo, actores que no son actores y muchos de los defectos del cine de Gitai llevados al extremo.
May 27, 2008
"If you want to survive, you must forget"...this was definitely worth seeing, and I'd especially recommend it to those interested in the politics of identity and the nation-state. For me, this was especially well-timed since I'd just completed a research project on the 1948 partition and war. Also: the dialogue is great.
½ November 3, 2007
it's great, i saw it 5 months ago while i was doing a homework about Israel's wall.
October 12, 2007
quite an amazing film. different than what i expected.

Stupid people at war. Always complaining for justice, but doing the same to their ennemies.
July 16, 2007
This is a great movie. Almost like watching a documentary. If you are interested in the story of modern-day Israel, this movie is a must see.

Silambam – Indian Martial Arts
Silambam is an Indian martial arts focused primarily on staff fighting. Silambam students generally use a bamboo staff about 5 1/2 feet in length. Nevertheless, they can train with other weapons as well (i.e. swords). This martial arts is practiced in areas with large Tamil communities such as India, Sri Lanka and Malaysia.
According to Silambam.com, "Silambam is the name in Tamil for a practice encountered throughout the whole South India. It supposedly comes from Silam or Silambu, meaning hill in Tamil, and Bamboo, a Marhat word. Hence Silambamboo, shortened to Silambam, roughly meaning "Bamboo from the Hills", as sticks were usually made out of a special kind of filled, yellow bamboo found there".

The Most Significant Argument In The Federalist 70 Free Essay Samples & Outline
The most significant argument made in Federalist 70 is the unitary executive provided for in the United States constitution. The argument has been seen in the sense that, the author tries to argue that unity in the executive division is a major component for energy and safety. The book provides that energy comes from the proceedings of a person with decision, activity, secrecy and dispatch whereas safety emanates from the unitary executive's apparent accountability to the persons (Hamilton, 2).

Friday night I baked four loaves of bread. Last night I cooked a 4 pound roast with potatoes and carrots. Then I spent three hours cross-stitching. Today I think I'm going to bake some muffins and I'm actually looking forward to cleaning my kitchen and doing a couple of other small chores.
While I have always enjoyed cooking, given the time and space, this is a whole new level of domesticity for me. Last weekend I found myself humming while doing laundry. I wonder if it is in part because I don't get to spend a lot of time at home, or if it is because I share my home with another woman who is also trying to assert her personality and I go all Martha in an attempt to compensate for the lack of control I have.
Whatever it is, I'm slighty scared by it and a little mortified. Mostly, though, I'm really enjoying myself.

Wow, that is a pretty high level of domesticity.
That said, I actually scrubbed the stains out of the sink the other day... and have been wiping down the counters daily.
Dear GOD - I hope this is as close as I get to nesting.

It must be something in the Canadian water.
I cooked a Thanksgiving dinner for Mgan and her sister. Then last night made turkey soup. And today I just got done making the bed and doing the dishes.
I am so Mgan's domesticated house-husband these days.

Images, Video Courtesy Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department
2:22 am | December 30, 2016
[Updated Friday, December 30, 2016 | 7:16 a.m.] Less than 12 hours after Altadena Mountain Rescue and Los Angeles County Fire rescued a hiker stranded atop of a waterfall in Eaton Canyon on Thursday, the same crews were back in the mountains north of Pasadena at 12:45 a.m. this morning hunting a group of four lost hikers wandering in the dangerous, rugged darkness.
The unusually high number of sunny days this year has resulted in a record number of rescues in the Angeles National Forest.. The last week of 2016, with several clear warm dry days and out of town visitors aplenty, is proving to be no exception to the trend.
In the Friday morning incident, a group of three men and one women called 911 around shortly before 1 a.m. to report they were lost and had been walking around in the mountains for several hours trying to find their way out.
Rescuers reported "the young hikers were concerned about bothering local emergency services, but after four fours in the cold, rain and dark they decided to call 911."
Los Angeles County Fire got coordinates from the 911 call and sent a helicopter and Altadena Search and Rescue to look for them. The helicopter located them quickly after spotting their cell phone light and hoisted them to safety.
The hikers, a 24-year-old Los Angeles woman with a 14-year-old teenager and two men aged 19 and 21 visiting from Mexico, were not injured.
The helicopter dropped the hikers off at Charles White Park in Altadena where deputies took them back to their cars at Lake Avenue and East Loma Alta Drive, where they jad started their hike. It was raining when the hikers were being dropped off at the park.
Earlier, on Thursday in an operation that started at 1:20 p.m., many of the same rescue crews had saved a 44-year-old man from Cerritos who had been returning from a hike to a waterfall when he lost sight of the trail and became stranded on a steep hillside approximately 50 feet off a trail.
Rescue crews set up ropes and lowered a rescuer to the stranded hiker, who assisted the hiker in pulling himself up the hill to safety.
The hiker was not injured and was able to hike out on his own, a Sheriff's Dept. spokesperson said.

When it comes to big names in entertainment, they don't come much bigger than Sky. The ubiquitous home TV and media company serves 12.7 million people across the UK and Ireland, as well as operating some of the most high profile online betting brands in the country.
Sky Vegas is their primary online casino offering for slots and instant win games complementing the more table games-orientated Sky Casino, and their sports betting site Sky Bet. With strong name recognition in the UK among Sky customers and beyond and now a growing reputation for providing top notch gambling and betting sites, Sky Vegas is an increasingly popular choice for new players.
Ready to play? Click on the link below or read our detailed Sky Vegas review below for more details.
Pros & Cons
- Impressive selection of slots
- Trusted Sky brand, good reputation
- Fast payouts
- Limited table games options
- Few video poker games
Welcome Bonus and Special Offers
200% WELCOME BONUS – Up to £1,000 Welcome Package
Sky Vegas offer a generous welcome bonus in two parts. There's a no deposit bonus, in addition to a deposit bonus, worth up to a total of £50 in bonus credit. Just for signing up for an account they'll give you £10 in bonus credit, with no deposit required. From there, if you choose to deposit £10, you get a bonus of a further £40 – effectively setting you up with a total of £50, including your deposit. It's also possible to roll the two bonuses together, so you end up with £60 to play with from your initial £10 deposit.
Terms and conditions apply to the bonus offer, but they're not too onerous. A 20x wagering requirement is in place for the initial £10 bonus, so you'll need to wager £200 before you'll be eligible to withdraw from this bonus, assuming you're playing slots which contribute 100% to the requirement. Card games and table games contribute 10% towards the wagering requirement.
The deposit element of the bonus is a little trickier, stepping up to a 40x wagering requirement for a bonus up to the maximum of £40, and you need to stake a minimum of £10 in order to meet the requirement.
The bonus is valid for a period of 30 days in both cases which is standard, and other terms and conditions apply to each respective bonus. Your best bet is to consult the terms and conditions further, so you have a better understanding of the restrictions.
As bonuses go,the no deposit + deposit double bonus structure is fairly generous, and means you can onboard in stages to make the most of each bonus as it's triggered. However, the 40x wagering requirement on the deposit bonus feels a little steep, and the 20 x wagering is a lot more competitive. Overall, this balances out as a fair bonus, but it's worth reading the terms and conditions again before requesting a withdrawal.
Sky Vegas runs promotions throughout the year, which run for a specified period of time. Clicking on the 'Promotions' tab shows you the full selection, including a helpful timer counting down the days until the promotion expires. As well as ongoing promotions, like Sky Vegas Bonus Time, there are also extra bonuses and themed promotions, such as a chance to win up to £150,000 with The Voice.
With Sky Vegas Bonus Time, players are given the chance to win cash prizes and 'free' spins during set hours of play, on any eligible games. You'll also find promotional scratch cards and other goodies, completing a very competitive package of promotions. Full terms and conditions are available on the relevant promotion page.
Software and Games
Arguably the best feature of Sky Vegas is the games. Sky Vegas has hundreds of different slot games, covering an impressive range of titles from different game developers. NetEnt, IGT, WMS Gaming and Blueprint Gaming are among a handful of the top names contributing to the games lobby, and it's a major bonus for Sky Vegas to offer so many different slots. Considering the fact that many of the big multi-vertical gaming sites like Bet365 and William Hill get tied into Playtech exclusive deals Sky Vegas's selection is very good indeed.
Look out for slots like Starburst, Keystone Kops, Dead or Alive, Rainbow Riches, Deal or No Deal, and the legendary Gonzo's Quest – it's games like these that see Sky Vegas at its best. You'll also find a decent collection of slots with progressive jackpots, like Genie Jackpots and Franky's Freak Spins. In total there are some 312 games in all, of which 225 are slots – a decent selection in anyone's book, although still far lower than the 600+ offered at Dunder and Videoslots.
One area where Sky Vegas comes up short is in table games. There's a very small selection by comparison to the number of slots available, and if you're coming to find an obscure version or blackjack or a special variation of roulette, you might be disappointed. Sky Vegas pitches primarily to slots and casino game fans, whereas sites like 888 Casino and Betway Casino offer a better selection of table games.
It would also be nice to see Sky Vegas adding some live games, which seem to be missing from the lineup. Compared to sites like 32Red or Betfair Casino, this is another area where the games at Sky Vegas could be improved. Still, the selection is impressive, and as far as slots are concerned, you couldn't really ask for more.
From a software point of view, Sky Vegas is played in instant play browser made, with no download casino available. The website loads quickly, and the games render and play smoothly through any modern browser.
Mobile Casino
Sky Vegas is well suited to players who want to play on the go. Whether it's on your smartphone or tablet, the Sky Vegas website is available through any mobile browser, offering a virtually identical experience to that you'd find on desktop. The design is entirely responsive, so it feels smooth and well designed, whatever the device you're using. A slightly smaller selection of 173 slots games are available on the mobile browser version, though you can still find most of the big names slots crossing over.
There are also apps available, both for iOS and Android users, which can be downloaded directly from the respective app stores, and of course installed for free. The app presents a more straightforward, more immersive experience than mobile browser play, all in a stylish Sky Vegas veneer. Good graphics and easy usability make this the preferred choice for most Sky Vegas mobile customers.
Mobile play with Sky Vegas is fast, secure, and optimised for iOS and Android – or virtually any other device. It's fair to say Sky Vegas have got mobile well covered.
Deposit and Withdrawal
Sky Vegas supports a range of payment methods for deposits and withdrawals, including PayPal, alongside Visa, Maestro and Mastercard.
Customers can deposit anything from £5 – £50,000, and players are able to process funds back into the same account they deposited with.
The payment process has been made as secure as possible; a 3D Secure Card Authorisation system has been put in place to protect all transactions.
One significant advantage with Sky Vegas is that payments are processed within 24 hours, and paid to e-wallets within a further 24 hours – although in many cases, it's much quicker than that. Sky Vegas has a reputation for fast payments, and even debit card withdrawals are handled in 2-5 days.

Security & Trustworthiness
Sky Vegas carries an instant trust in the eyes of most UK consumers, on account of the Sky brand – arguably one of the biggest in the country. Everyone in the UK has heard of Sky, will watch their TV channels, and very likely subscribe to their home entertainment services. There's a level of familiarity and trust there, and this extends equally to Sky Vegas.
Sky Vegas, as with other Sky gambling brands, is operated by Bonne Terre Ltd., a company set up to run Sky betting and gaming sites. The company is part of a group of Sky betting brands, including Sky Bet and Sky Casino, so this is a rock-solid legitimate player.
In terms of the site itself, Sky Vegas is regulated by the UK Gambling Commission, as well as the Alderney Gambling Control Commission another strict e-gaming jurisdiction, for players located outside of the UK. The job of these regulators is to ensure Sky Vegas is operating a fair, legitimate online casino, and there is no question as to their compliance. As trusted casinos go, they can't really get much bigger than Sky Vegas.
The Sky Vegas website and mobile apps are secured to the highest industry standards, using encryption technology that is designed to be impossible to hack. This is backed up by an additional encryption layer for payments, which are facilitated by third party processors like PayPal. Sky Vegas is really about as secure as you can expect from any online casino.
Customer Support
Sky Vegas has a comprehensive support section, where you can find answers to most common account issues and queries, as well as links to speak to someone, either by phone or by live chat.
The support is friendly and helpful, and generally gets the thumbs up. However, it has been known for there to be some capacity issues, and when we last checked, their phone lines were down due to a high volume of queries. This was also coupled with a long wait time on chat, which might be a problem for some players. Still, the customer support that is available should be more than enough for most players.
Sky Vegas has a huge selection of games, and slots fans will find plenty to keep them occupied. The bonuses are decent enough, and the combination of no deposit + deposit bonus as a welcome offer will definitely prove attractive to some new players. The mobile experience is good, and the payments side generally regarded as a high point.
The selection of table games suffers, but that's not really the target market for Sky Vegas. In its place, however, generous ongoing promotions and competitions keep the excitement bubbling, week in, week out.
On balance, this earns Sky Vegas a rating of 9 out of 10. As a trusted place to play online, Sky Vegas must definitely be up there amongst the best.Get Your Bonus Now

Click here to view an installed barrier.
Click here to see the barrier in operation.
The Tiger is a high quality automatic barrier, capable of spanning roadways of up to 7 meters wide, and operating from either 415 volts (3 phase), or 240 volts (single phase) supply.
Its modern and pleasing external appearance, hides a drive control mechanism where no item has been spared our meticulous attention to detail.
The finish and quality of the Tiger barrier is simply without equal. It is for example, the only barrier produced with its entire framework having being hand prepared, shot-blasted and then plastic coated in a red P.P.A. This is probably one of the most aesthetically pleasing of the plastics coatings available, which also keys to and flows over the base metal with a thickness and consistency that is unmatched. It is also one of the many features which allow us to offer, in addition to our normal parts warranty, a three year anti-corrosion guarantee. No other supplier of these products currently offers such guarantee.
The internal drive mechanism is designed to provide durable and consistent performance, with minimal maintenance. Which is why we zinc plate (with yellow passivation) every moving part of the mechanism. It is also why we fit an automatic lubricating system to the drive screw, further prolonging the mechanism's life. No other barrier operating with a similar mechanism has either of these features.
Apart from being reliable the performance must be consistent. Attention to detail here has resulted in the development of an unique clutch arrangement built within the drive train, which ensures that the barrier arm is arrested at its true vertical and horizontal positions for every operating cycle. This is particularly important where a pair of barriers are employed across a roadway with the arms meeting in the centre. The Tiger barrier arms will always line up with pin-point accuracy - every time.
Our attention to detail continues with the cover itself. This is a vandal resistant plastic moulding, fully weatherproofed and of course is totally resistant to cracking, rusting or fading as is common with other materials. It is fixed to the main framework by tamperproof fasteners, for which a special tool is required (supplied with the barrier).
In the event of a power failure the Tiger barrier can be manually operated by a front mounted hand crank arrangement.
The on-board control panel is designed to accept all standard and optional signalling and access control devices within our range. And should a power failure occur at any time full manual override can be obtained by the user without needing to remove the cover or perform any other type of operation beforehand.
The cast aluminium boom carrier locates both the extruded aluminium arm, and where required, the counterbalance.
The boom is a special aluminium extrusion of unique profile, designed to both minimise flexing and present a highly visible target. It is specially designed to break at approximately 5OOmm from its pivot point, without damaging the mechanism. This is especially important in situations where, for example, access is required by emergency service vehicles.
The boom is also supplied as standard with a choice of 2 STOP signs, or 1 STOP & 1 NO-ENTRY sign at its midpoint. The boom tip is finished with an EPDM moulded cap.
Where fitted, the counterbalance is also plastic coated in white e.v.a. to match the cover, whilst the boom is electro-statically spray painted in red/white stripes as standard.
Optional colours are available to the frame, boom, cover and counterbalance to match site or corporate identity at a small additional charge.
Optional extras for the Tiger barrier include:
* Xenon flashing lights (affixed to STOP/NO ENTRY signs)
* P.P.A. plastic coated crutch posts (Recommended over 6m)
* Fixed and Folding PVC skirts
* HGV height STOP/NO-ENTRY signs (See separate data sheet)
Full range of access control peripheral equipment
We offer a nation-wide installation and after sales service capability. Installation can include all preparatory work, casting plinths, installing ducting and cabling, in addition to the normal connect and commission service.
Where estimates include for installation, this also includes for a detailed site survey to be undertaken prior to final acceptance of details. All estimates will separately detail the cost of a maintenance contract for the equipment itemised.
All Tiger barriers are covered by a 3 year anti-corrosion guarantee, and a comprehensive 12 months parts and labour warranty where installed or commissioned by our engineers.

The first line of the Gospel of John says: "From the first he was the Word…" This is of course the translation of the Greek original. One could argue that the Greek notion "logos" has about two dozens of different meanings; for example "logic" or "reason". This article is neither a critique of the translation of the bible nor a course in philology but it deals with the power of words. According to Goethe's "Faust" not words but actions are the beginning of it all. No matter what comes first, it seems as if words and actions are the two sides of the same coin. Facing such consequences it might be wise to treat our language with care.
Philosophers started thinking about the use of language thousands of years ago. Plato for example was pondering on the question if notions have a "natural" meaning or if they only receive it by convention. Alice met Humpty Dumpty in Wonderland. The egg-shaped man stated that the words he uses had exactly the meaning he wants them to have. I seriously doubt this. As we know words change their meanings in the course of time. Moreover, some notions have several meanings; some even in contradiction to each other.
Speak and Think
What really troubles me is that some language analysts claim that we only can produce thoughts by means of language. They use this as the reason why animals cannot think. I wonder about the consequence of this theory. Does this mean that people who were born deaf with no adequate education cannot think? This is as if we would say they are no humans, isn't it?
To me this is revolting, especially because history has shown us the result of such believe. Therefore my thesis is that language is the form of expression of thoughts and only parrots think that words are there origin.
On the other hand language is probably apt to express our thoughts more comprehensible than pictures, music or dance. For the latter the layman needs interpretation. So let's stick with the words. After all a blog has not much more to offer and the entire social media industry, public relation, teaching and management depend on them.
Even mathematics uses a language which is condensed in formulas and the information technology is dealing with 0 and 1.

This past Tuesday evening was the Time 100 Gala in New York City. This is not an event that would normally be on my radar but there were some great looks that evening so I couldn't help but share!
First off, I was pretty blown away but Olivia Munn. She showed up wearing the most stunning yellow Michael Kors dress that is perfect for so many reasons. It's lace which is right on trend, it's a beautiful canary yellow which is perfect for spring (and against her skintone), and the silhouette was very elegant. A close second of the evening for me was Jessica Biel in an asymmetrical black Tom Ford dress. I found it simple and elegant, but also that there were enough little details on it to make it unique and take it to the next level.
Further to these ladies, I'd like to give honorable mention to: Christina Aguilera in Victoria Beckham (she looked better than I'd seen her look in a long time!), Amy Poehler in Tadashi Shoji and Claire Danes in Lanvin.

Average: 4.9 out of 5 Stars
I love Valley Child Care & Learning Center! Every time I walk in they are always happy and always greeting everyone on the way in and out. It amazes me how much they care for the children. Every teacher knows every child's names which I love.
My son has learned so much in the 6 months he's been going here and always excited to tell me about His exciting day!

text: Are there any questions you can ask to probe problem areas with a thermal scope? I'm asking b/c I will probably have to consider this route no matter what happens b/c the price on the lease is just scary now and what I had put aside for thermal just vanished like a cow fart in 20 mph winds. I don't need anything fancy like DVR, recording etc simply something that gets me outside the 100-ish yards I get with my greenie. It may be that I go NV too. Just wanted to learn from those who went used and if they are happy downstream. Thanks

First steel work for the new Lackawanna coal handling plant in the new harbor was erected Wednesday, and work was being continued Thursday, with additional
carloads of steel scheduled to arrive the latter part of the week.
About 15 carloads of cinders are being dumped daily to make fill for the ramp leading to the conveyors, and engineers Thursday expressed belief the plant would be in readiness for operation May 1, if not earlier, depending upon availability of the machinery and steel.
Announcement was made Thursday that the Valley Camp Coal company will resume shipments through Oswego, using the Lackawanna terminal. The company handles a large volume of bituminous coal to St. Lawrence river points, principally to Prescott, Ont., and word was received Thursday that among the first ships to come to the new plant will be the steamer Valley Camp. No Valley Camp coal has been shipped through Oswego in three years, because the old trestle now gone was not suited for loading ships of the Valley Camp type, as there is one hold on that ship. that could not be reached by any trestle chute, and as a result, the first time the Valley Camp came to Oswego, 24 hours were required to load her. Now with the new plant, she will be loaded in three hours, or less, with a medium of degradation.
Photostats of plans of the coaling plant have been sent to corporations interested, and additional business is expected through Oswego. Three of the largest companies handling bituminous coal on Lake Ontario have now made contracts for using the port of Oswego this season. They are the Pittsburgh Coal Company, Continental Coal Company and Valley Camp Coal Company, and officials would not be surprised, if, counting the 75,000 tons iron ore contract with the D. & H., and additional anthracite coal handling tonnage for that company. the total tonnage to be moved over the Lackawanna terminal this year will equal the high tonnage record of the old terminal, and perhaps set an all-time high tonnage record for the Lackawanna terminal in Oswego.

The ATO is seeking to raise awareness about illegitimate retirement plans being peddled to trustees. According to the ATO some of these schemes 'may be cleverly designed to look legitimate, involve a lot of paper shuffling and framed as being designed to give a taxpayer a minimal or zero amount of tax or even a tax refund or concession,' but ultimately they will have repercussions.
What are these illegal schemes?
These illegal retirement planning schemes seek to minimise or mitigate the tax owed on investment gains through duplicitous and illegal means. By funnelling money through complex structures, these schemes make the returns you make from your holdings unclear and while it may seem you have paid less tax, the consequences for when you're caught can be significant.
Getting involved in an illegal retirement plan – even if you're unaware of its illegitimacy – can leave you open to fines, the loss of retirement savings, the removal of your right to manage your own fund or even jail. While the ATO is working hard to shut down any illegal SMSF activity they find, it remains incumbent on trustees to be wary about any offers they receive.
What to look for
The ATO has provided some key features to be wary of when assessing the legitimacy of any scheme. Illegal plans often:
- are artificially contrived with complex structures usually connecting with an existing or newly created SMSF
- involve a significant amount of paper shuffling
- are designed to give the taxpayer minimal or zero tax, or even a tax refund
- aim to give a present day tax benefit by adopting the arrangement
- invariably sound 'too good to be true', and as such they generally are
You should also be wary of being contacted out of the blue by people offering financial services which will significantly decrease your tax burden. These promoters have even been known to approach financial planners with their services in order to reach their clients and create a veneer of legitimacy. While anyone can fall prey to these schemes, people closer to retirement are more often targeted.
If you suspect that you have been approached with an illegal scheme, or even if you believe you may have been caught up in one, you should contact the ATO on 1800 060 062 or at email@example.com. They can provide advice and guidance to protect yourself. If you believe have been involved in an illegal scheme, by reaching out to the ATO yourself you could put yourself in a better position to minimise the consequences for you personally.

text: If so, what are they? I'm still not sure how I feel about people who won't share any of their recipes, I believe I get why they don't.. perhaps they want to be the friend or family member who makes "THE best" lasagna, or "THE best" chicken soup, etc. I can certainly relate to that part of it, but if someone asks me how I made a particular dish I generally don't mind sharing, and have known to even get a little pedantic about it. My only issue with sharing is when someone asks you for a recipe, and then they put their "twist" on it. God that effin annoys me. but the two I don't like sharing are my buttermilk pancake recipe, and my chocolate chip cookie recipe (it has a lot of other goodies other than choco chips). I believe I also have a pound cake recipe I created almost 10 years ago that is so deliciously moist that I would think twice before sharing as well. Regular cooking (non-baking) recipes are difficult for me to share because I don't ever actually follow any recipe. I can just give instructions on how I made certain dishes, but not exact measurements.

"A special list of facilities that were damaged (destroyed) in the Luhansk region as a result of an armed conflict and that require restoration has been created. There are already more than 100 of them today. The funds needed to restore their operation have been calculated," the report says.
Considering the fact that the armed standoff in the region continues, the damage sum is increasing every day.

Adam, the new roommate, arrived this weekend. So now the house has four of us: me, Scott, Mike, and Adam. Mike is planning on moving out early next month. While I like having Mike around, I'm looking forward to moving out of the nursery room and into his.
Adam is from out west, went to school near Boston, and has moved to Norwalk for work. He's the youngest of the bunch and easy to get along with. I think Scott, Adam, and I will work out just fine. The house has enough rooms and a big kitchen, so we don't feel like we are on top of one another.
Today was the warmest day yet. In the last two weeks, it's snowed twice. But today, it got into the 70s. Won't be long before the sand courts at the beach will become my new favorite past time.

Beaujolais Nouveau Dinner
Wines by Georges Duboeuf will be 2 oz. pours, but additional glasses/bottles can be purchased. Duboeuf wines featured are: 2017 Beaujolais Nouveau, 2014 Pouilly Fuisée, and 2014 Moulin-a-Vent.
For most of us, the third Thursday of November is just another chilly autumn day a couple of weeks before the holiday season kicks in. But for many wine lovers in France and around the globe, that day marks the celebration of the release of a wine 'delicacy' known to divide wine connoisseurs.
At one minute past midnight, over one million cases of Beaujolais Nouveau begin their journey from the Beaujolais region through the sleeping French countryside to Paris for their immediate shipment all over the globe. Banners proclaim the news: "Le Beaujolais Nouveau est arrivé!" (The New Beaujolais has arrived!) and with that one of the most vibrant rituals of the wine world kicks off.
The region of Beaujolais lies just north of France's third largest city, Lyon, and is home to nearly 4000 grape growers. All grapes in the region must be picked by hand, similarly to Champagne; hand harvesting is only mandatory in these two regions in France.
There is only one grape that is permitted for Beaujolais Nouveau and that is the 'Gamay noir Jus Blanc'. This wine can only be made from grapes originating from the regions of Beaujolais and Beaujolais-Villages. The process to produce Beaujolais Nouveau is called the 'carbonic maceration' (or 'whole berry fermentation') and it creates a fresh, fruity flavour in the wine without extracting the bitter tannins from the grape skin. During the process whole grapes are fermented in a carbon dioxide-rich environment prior to crushing, and most of the juices are fermented while still inside the grape. It doesn't take more than six to eight weeks from harvest to release: expeditious harvest, rapid fermentation and speedy bottling are all done in a matter of weeks.
The 'release' of the Beaujolais Nouveau began about a century ago as a local phenomenon in bars, cafes, and restaurants of Beaujolais and Lyon. Each autumn the new Beaujolais would arrive with heightened anticipation – once released pitchers were filled from the growers barrels directly and it was consumed by the eager population in bars and bistros across the region. Eventually, however, the government stepped in to control the sale of this quickly transported and consumed wine: 1938 regulations were set up to control the production and the distribution. However in 1951 they were revoked by the regions governing body, the 'Union Interprofessional des Vins de Beaujolais' (UIVB) and the Beaujolais Nouveau was officially recognised. The official release date was set for November 15th – the Beaujolais Nouveau was born.
By this time the news of this 'local' event spread to Paris and the idea to race the wine to the capital was born. By the 1970s the race was a national event and in the 1980s began to spread to the neighbouring countries in Europe, followed by North America and Asia in the 1990s
In 1985 the release date was changed again to the third Thursday of November, tying it to the weekend to make the celebration complete. — from TravelGluttons


text: Loft insulation It is recommended that all houses have loft insulation to a depth of at least 270mm (about 10"). Some older houses are likely to have less than 270mm of insulation and this can be topped up to reach the required level to save energy. The Energy Saving Trust estimates that 25% of the heat in a property is lost through the roof. Therefore, ensuring adequate insulation in your loft can save up to £140 per year. If you think you need to increase the insulation in your loft, call Warmer Homes, Greener District for information on any current grants and for trusted local suppliers.

Welcome to my Bodnovich Family Photo Page! My second Bodnovich Photo page is completed, so please take a look.
A Wedding
This photo was taken on the day of my Uncle Mike's wedding, in July, 1948. Featured from left to right: Grandfather Andrew, Aunt Helen, My Mother Elizabeth, standing on the far right, and Aunt (name removed).
My Aunt Helen, now deceased, was the oldest Bodnovich daughter. She and my Aunt (removed) were the daughters of Grandfather Andrew's first marriage to Mary Kornick. My grandmother Sophia raised them from the time they were still toddlers.
Grandma Bodnovich and My Son Michael
This has always been one of my favorite photos, since I had very few of my Grandma. She came to stay with my family for a short time in early 1977.
Grandma's eyesight was not very good. Michael would take her hand, and walk her around the house. It was cute to watch!
An Anniversary
This photo was taken in July, 1998, at my Aunt Kay and Uncle Lou's house. That day we were celebrating my Uncle Mike's wedding anniversary.
Pictured from left to right are: Uncle Lou, Aunt Kay, Brother Bob, Cousin Mark, Cousin Nancy, Nancy's boyfriend - standing behind her, Son Michael, Me, and Cousin Victor.
Cousins Victor, Mark, and Nancy are my Aunt Kay and Uncle Lou's children.

We saw some more of Robe this morning. Highlights were the old gaol and the Obelisk – a dual-purpose structure which warned passing ships with its highly visible white and red stripes and was also used to store rockets with life lines which could be fired to distressed ships.
Then we made our way across to Mount Gambia to see some of the natural attractions. My favourite was the sinkhole. it's basically a huge hole caused by deterioration of the limestone in the ground. The base of the hole has been turned into a very pretty garden. It's quite amazing to stand inside.
Another great sight was the Blue Lake, Mount Gambier's water supply, a crater that is reportedly the result of one of the most recent volcanic eruptions in Australia. I have seen photos of the lake looking supernaturally blue (hence the name) though during winter it is more of a "steel grey"/blue. Still magnificent to look at.

MIRA & ACLU warn legislators of pitfalls of ICE detainer bill
BOSTON, Aug. 10, 2017 – MIRA and the ACLU of Massachusetts today distributed a memorandum to state legislators in which they outline their legal analysis of the recent Supreme Judicial Court ruling on immigrant detention and of Gov. Charlie Baker's proposed legislation that seeks to undo that ruling.
As the memo explains, the Court held in Commonwealth v. Lunn that it is unlawful for local law enforcement officials to hold a person solely at the request of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Baker's proposed legislation asks the Legislature to create new authority for such detention.
"The [Supreme Judicial Court] decision is based on statutory and common law, but aligns with core constitutional principles regarding due process," the memo explains. "Any attempt to authorize state and local law enforcement to hold people on the basis of a mere ICE detainer request, including the bill filed by Governor Baker on August 1, 2017, would be unconstitutional."

Detainer bill would needlessly entangle police in ICE matters

The governor wants to give police the authority to hold people for ICE. Call him today – and call your legislators to urge them to kill this wrongheaded bill.
Last month, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruled that police and court officers in our state don't have the legal authority to detain anyone solely on a civil immigration matter.
It was a landmark decision that made national news: Massachusetts leading the way, standing up for civil rights and due process and rejecting the anti-immigrant policies that have stoked fear in our communities.
But where we saw cause for celebration, Gov. Charlie Baker saw a problem to be solved. On Aug. 1, he filed a bill to allow police across the state to honor civil detainer requests from U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) for any "removable alien" deemed to pose a threat to public safety.

Mass. high court ruling a victory for due process, civil rights
Eva Millona testifies in support of the Safe Communities Act.
'Nothing in the statutes or common law' of the state allows police or court officers to hold people on civil immigration detainers.
BOSTON, July 24, 2017 – Today, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruled that state officers – such as police, sheriffs and court officers – do not have the authority under state law to detain people on a civil immigration matter.
The case before the Court, SJC-12276, Sreynuon Lunn vs. Commonwealth, involved a man who was held on a voluntary civil detainer request from Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) after being arrested but then having all charges against him dismissed.
The Court found that holding someone under such circumstances constitutes an arrest under state law. No federal law gives state officers the power to make such an arrest, and based on a detailed review, the Court concluded that "nothing in the statutes or common law of Massachusetts" does, either.
"We are very pleased by the Court's decision," said Eva A. Millona, executive director of MIRA. "It provides much-needed clarity for Massachusetts law enforcement at a time when they're under a lot of pressure from the federal government to detain non-criminal immigrants and support deportation efforts."

Celebrating diversity: Somerville's Nepal Festival 2017
Co-hosted by Greater Boston Nepali Community and the Somerville Arts Council, the Nepal Festival offered a great chance to experience vibrant Nepali culture.
A man and a woman share the stage. The music gets a bit quieter for an exchange between the two: He sings what seems like a question, and she sings a quick response. After each round, performers in traditional Nepali clothes dance at the foot of the stage.
I don't know Nepali, but I don't need to understand the words to enjoy the singers' sweet debate – or the laughs, applause, and cheers of the crowd. From the music to the performers' voices, body language, facial expressions, and dances, it is a celebration of the community.
This is called Lok Dohori, and it's a part of Nepali folk tradition. The singers are both well known: Min KC, Boston's most popular folk singer, and Nisha Sunuwar, a popular singer in New York. For me, it was a highlight of Nepal Festival 2017, held in Somerville's Union Square on June 9.

At Irish Famine Memorial, a strong show of solidarity for immigrants
U.S. Sen. Markey joined a diverse group of advocates to decry the mass deportation agenda and anti-immigrant legislation and pledge continued resistance.
BOSTON, July 6, 2017 – U.S. Senator Edward Markey today joined members of labor and nonprofit organizations by the Irish Famine Memorial in downtown Boston to show solidarity for immigrants and send a strong message to federal officials that immigrants have made America great for over 200 years.
"The Trump administration's immigration policies are unfair, unconstitutional, and un-American," Senator Markey said. "Instead of immoral and punitive proposals like the Muslim ban, border wall, and a deportation force, we should focus on what matters most to our immigrant communities – good jobs, quality education and safe neighborhoods. I will continue to fight for comprehensive immigration reform and to ensure that the American Dream is achievable for all."
Senator Markey appeared with members of 32BJ SEIU, MIRA, Jobs with Justice and the Irish International Immigrant Center. Together, they condemned the mass deportation strategy of the Trump administration and anti-immigrant bills recently passed by Congress.
