So who has made it over here? Did you all check out the rules?
Thanks for leaving us wide open Chris :)
<This list is dedicated to the discussion of ... >
If we get active... can we have this too? Figure since you are in the
X-mas spirit of giving... might be the time to ask :)
o No images or programs are to be transmitted via email. If you have
a need to share pictures, send mail to email@example.com

Back to gardening....
I have a little project that was kinda thrown on me and would like some
input from the group, if you all don't mind. One of my groups is making
propagation information lists on the plants that we are growing. I was
given the photo area of seedlings to accomplish and compile the info.
Today I visited some nursery friends to inquire about what the best way
to accomplish this would be... darn it they gave me 28 species of
dormant plant flats. So I have to incorporate them into the mix too....
What is the most important feature of a seedling plant to id it? Also
what is the most identifiable feature of a small plant when they are
dormant/semi dormant? I thought I knew the answers to these questions...
but my friend at our greenhouse, watching me take pictures today...
asked what the h*** are you doing.... and had a totally different
opinion... so I thought I would ask the experts :)

Kiekeboe - De Doedelzak van Mac Reel (1979)
Robert Merhottein (better known as Merho) was born in Antwerp as the son of a collector for a gas company. He had an early interest in comics and visited all the artists he knew, like Pom, Bob Mau and Marc Sleen. His biggest influences, however, are Hergé, André Franquin, Maurice Tillieux, Charles M. Schulz and especially Willy Vandersteen. Merho loves comedy in general. He enjoys watching comedies, cabaret and stand-up acts, but lacked the courage to become a comedian himself. Nevertheless his signature series, 'De Kiekeboes', is brimful with all kinds of visual jokes, slapstick, running gags, word play and parodies. Comics specialist Jan Smet once named Merho "the cabaret artist of Flemish comics."
Comi en Dacske, by Merho
Merho studied graphic arts at St. Lucas in Brussels. He published his first album in high school. To fund a school trip to Rome he made a comic book album, 'Zoz en Zef', which was sold from door to door. The series was also published in the Catholic magazine Jong Karitas. His first professional comic strip was 'Comi En Dacske' (1964), a series of gags for the retailers' magazine Middenstand. In 1970, Merho got a job at the Vandersteen Studios, where he inked 'Jerom' stories for the German market. During his military service, he created the comic strip 'Jager Jansens' for the base paper, which was later continued by Hec Leemans.
Back in civilian life, he returned to Vandersteen, where he did backgrounds on 'Safari' and revamped German 'Bessy' stories to 'Karl May' stories for the Flemish market. Eventually, he was assigned to the series 'Pats', that was based on the puppet play by Karel Weyler. Merhottein initially inked the series, but later also did scripts and pencil work. The series was later retitled to 'Tits'. He also co-operated with Wies Andersen on the puppet TV adaptation of 'Suske en Wiske', which increased the series' popularity in the Netherlands. During this period, Merho also applied for a job in Jef Nys' studio, but found him too demanding, though he learned much on a technical and narrative level.
Pats - Lieve Loempia
In 1973, Merho created his first version of his own character 'Kiekeboe'. Both the series' protagonist, Marcel Kiekeboe, as well as the main villain Balthazar, originated in a puppet show, created by his brother Walter, though Merho did design Kiekeboe's face. Four years later, a new version of the strip was launched in the daily newspapers Het Laatste Nieuws and De Nieuwe Gazet. Almost two years later, the first Kiekeboe album, 'De Wollebollen,' appeared. Merho eventually left Studio Vandersteen in 1976, leaving 'Pats' to Peter Koeken. 'Kiekeboe' (renamed 'De Kiekeboes' in 2010) centers around the family Kiekeboe, with father Marcel, mother Charlotte, son Konstantinopel and daughter Fanny.
Kiekeboe - De Wollebollen (1977)
While firmly rooted in the Flemish family comics tradition, 'De Kiekeboes' notably deviated from certain clichés. There are no talking animals, absent-minded professors or magical/super powers. Marcel and Charlotte are actually married to one another and have children of their own, rather than adopted orphans. The early stories were still somewhat childish and awkward at times, but gradually the series evolved into a more mature and contemporary style. Fanny - the most popular character - is a sexy, free-spirited and assertive young woman who has had many boyfriends over the years. One of her best friends, Tomboy, is a mulatto prostitute.
Afgelast wegens ziekte (1991)
Kiekeboe's neighbour, Leon Van Der Neffe, is a snobbish racist who went through a divorce in the album 'En In Kwade Dagen' (2007). Kiekeboe's boss, Mr. Van De Kasseien, is a corrupt business executive who frequently commits adultery. Recurring villain Timotheus Triangl went through a sex change in 'Zeg Het Met Bloemen' (1993) and adapted her new name Timothea as a result. Other storylines have dealt with topics such as computer technology, white-collar crime, striptease bars, homosexuality and hormone doping. 'De Kiekeboes' is also infamous for its use of word play and other puns.
Examples of word play in 'Het Lot van Charlotte' (1985). The boss of a factory of toilet paper is called W.C. Roll (=Toilet roll in Dutch). His partner's name is Sthoel (Roll + Sthoel = Rolstoel = Wheelchair in Dutch). Mr. Sthoel's gang of thugs is the "Sthoel gang" (meaning "bowel motion"), and part of this team are Harry V. ("Arrivez"), Pol K. ("Polka") and Dan Q. ("Dank u" = "Thank you" in Dutch). With Merho's typical tongue-in-cheek approach, character Fanny kicked off the story by announcing not to take part in this album, because of these corny names.
While most albums are adventure stories, Merho isn't afraid of experimenting and deviating from his own formula. In 'De wereld volgens Kiekeboe' (1997), Kiekeboe travels to a future modelled after his own franchise. In 'De Heeren van Scheurbuyck' (2002), the main cast is placed in a medieval setting. The plot in 'De spray-historie' (1988) is frequently interrupted by commercial breaks, while in 'Hoe Meer Kijkers' (1997), a TV-like rating system is used to see which scenes hold the readers' interest. The 50th album, 'Afgelast Wegens Ziekte' (1991), shows deleted scenes from previous albums, while executive producers in 'De Simstones' (2000) change the franchise in the most extreme ways. 'Vrouwen komen van Mars' (2010) was inspired by the film 'Pleasantville' (1998) and has the Kiekeboes dive into a 1950s comic book, complete with blue-brown printing and ben-day dots. The most beloved of Merho's experiments is 'Album 26' (1984). Inspired by the cult comedy classic 'Hellzapoppin' (1941), the plot is full with gags that spoof comic book tropes and break the fourth wall.
Behind the scenes in Album 26 (1984)
Merho also enjoys collaborating with fellow creative spirits. The album 'Kiekebanus' (1998) was a crossover between Merho's characters and those from Willy Linthout and Urbanus' series 'Urbanus'. Both drew in their respective style, which gave a funny and sometimes bizarre atmosphere. 'Bij Fanny op Schoot' (2005) featured Fanny interviewing various comics characters from other series, all drawn by their respective authors, including Sleen, Linthout, Urbanus, Jan Bosschaert ('De Geverniste Vernepelingskes'), Luc Morjaeu ('Suske en Wiske'), Kamagurka and Herr Seele ('Cowboy Henk'), Jean-Pol ('Kramikske'), François Walthéry ('Natasja'), Kim Duchateau ('Esther Verkest'), Ivan Adriaenssens ('De Zusjes Kriegel'), Ilah ('Cordelia'), Hec Leemans ('F.C. De Kampioenen'), Martin Lodewijk ('Agent 327') and Erik Meynen. The album 'Grof Wild' (2011) was notable for being based on a novel by crime author Pieter Aspe, who gave his permission to adapt it. Merho also worked on the crossover album 'Het Geheim van de Kousenband' (2001), in which other artists like Marc Sleen, Dirk Stallaert ('Nero'), Hec Leemans ('F.C. De Kampioenen'), Karel Biddeloo ('De Rode Ridder'), Marc Legendre ('Biebel'), Paul Geerts ('Suske en Wiske') and Urbanus and Willy Linthout ('Urbanus') all added storylines.
'De Kiekeboes' was the final Flemish comic strip to conquer the market without being based on a popular media franchise or celebrity. In 1983, Merho received the Bronzen Adhemar, the most prestigious Flemish comics prize. A year later, Marcel Kiekeboe was elected "Moustache of the Year" by the Antwerp Moustache Club. This inspired the plot of the story 'De Snor van Kiekeboe' (1984). By the early 1990s 'De Kiekeboes' had risen from a cult strip to one of the best-selling comics series in Flanders. Until 1990, the albums were published by the N.V. Hoste. After that date, they moved to Standaard Uitgeverij. Between 1993 and 2003, 'De Kiekeboes' was prepublished in Suske en Wiske Weekblad. Starting in 2004, the strip is published in Het Belang van Limburg and Gazet van Antwerpen.
By appealing to both children as well as adults 'De Kiekeboes' even eclipsed Willy Vandersteen's 'Suske en Wiske' in terms of local popularity, which explains why Merho is often called Vandersteen's successor. Despite attempts to translate the series in English ('Jo & Co'), French ('Fanny & Cie', 'Les Marteaux') and German ('Die Kuckucks') it never caught on outside in Flanders, yet enjoys cult success in the Netherlands. Two film adaptations, 'Het Witte Bloed' (1992) and 'Misstoestanden' (2000), also flopped. The latter in particular was disowned by Merho who felt that the writers disobeyed his creative suggestions. He expressed his frustrations and hatred in two albums: 'Misstoestanden' (2000) and 'De Simstones' (2000). More succesful was the stage adaptation of 'Baas Boven Baas' in 2007. Walls dedicated to the characters can be found in Antwerp, Zoersel and Hasselt.
A spin-off trilogy called 'Fanny K.' was announced in late 2016. It is a thriller starring an older Fanny, and is created by comic artist Jean-Marc Krings and Dutch thriller novelist Toni Coppers.
Merho's earliest assistant was Erik Meynen, who drew the backgrounds in 'Kiekeboe in Carré' (1978). Among Merho's co-workers are Peter Koeken, Rik Dewulf, Dirk Stallaert and his wife, Ria Smits. Smits, a full-time teacher, started as inker and letterer. When 'De Kiekeboes' became a success, she did the bookkeeping as well. Originally, the coloring was done by Resi Van Treeck, sister of Manu Van Treeck, head of the comics department of Standaard Uitgeverij. After Smits quit teaching, she became Merho's colorist, later joined by the couple's daughter, Ine. Koeken, a Studio Vandersteen protégé, inked the stories between 1986 and 1991. Dewulf became co-artist in 1989 and stayed for a decade until he left to make the series 'Sam & Pilou' with Marc Daniëls. In 2002 Dirk Stallaert became his successor, but he too left three years later to join Studio Vandersteen. He was replaced by Steve Van Bael and Thomas Du Caju. Van Bael quit in 2008 to start his own series, 'Figaro'. Merho replaced him with Kristof Fagard.
Kiekeboe - Doodeenvoudig/Eenvoudig dood (2009)
In 2013, a series of interviews with Merho, conducted by Toon Horsten, were published under the title 'Zwart op wit'. This work is the closest Merho ever came to writing an autobiography.

IBM, SAP Expand Partnership to Drive Digital Transformation
"This is the kind of move we expected when IBM bought SoftLayer," longtime IBM watcher and industry analyst Rob Enderle told eWEEK at the time of the deal. "IBM can provide an enterprise-class cloud service now that is fully compliant with IT policy, and this is generally also a requirement when deploying products from enterprise companies like SAP. "You should anticipate other deals like this for similar reasons with other vendors of all sizes that want access to enterprise buyers and need to supply cloud services while remaining compliant with corporate policies on security and access. IBM's brand is tightly connected to the enterprise and it is well-regarded when it comes to compliance so IT shops know their decisions to use cloud products on IBM's services generally won't be challenged by audit as aggressively as they might be had they used a service like Amazon's instead," continued Enderle, now president and principal analyst of the Enderle Group. Under the expanded partnership, the companies will develop collaborative consulting models. And IBM Interactive Experience (iX), the digital agency that falls under the aegis of IBM Global Business Services, will work together with SAP Global Design and the SAP Customer Engagement and Commerce team on projects. The collaboration will also apply IBM's iOS design skills for mobile user experiences, IBM said. "I think that the partnership is good for both companies," said Judith Hurwitz, president and CEO of Hurwitz & Associates. "These companies have had a collaborative relationship for years. I think that it has deepened because of two issues. One is the competition in the applications market with Oracle. Second, IBM provides a lot of consulting services for customers implementing SAP's offerings.Last year, IBM and SAP tightened their existing technology partnership with a new set of integrated Power Systems solutions designed to help clients process volumes of data at high speed for both transactional and analytics workloads. Under the expanded partnership, IBM and SAP will enable client engagements for hybrid and on-premise offerings with SAP HANA on IBM Power systems, supported through the new IBM Power Systems Center of Excellence for SAP HANA in Austin, Texas. And IBM will develop cognitive solutions for SAP S/4HANA and line-of-business solutions that tap into the power of IBM's cognitive APIs. "This new announcement signals a significant deepening of the strategic collaboration IBM and SAP launched last October," said Charles King, principal analyst with Pund-IT. "That original effort resulted in SAP gaining considerable advantages by leveraging IBM resources, including its global network of cloud data centers. This new announcement expands that effort to include IBM's cognitive technologies and product/service design skills, including its efforts around Apple's iOS and mobile devices. IBM is also a beneficiary of the relationship by being closely aligned with SAP's widely deployed enterprise applications and its HANA in-memory platform. This expanded collaboration and related investments should deliver considerable benefits to both companies, along with their shared and prospective customers."
"IBM has had a lot of success with HANA services—especially on the Power platform," she continued. "Power turns out to be an optimized platform that is perfect for HANA workloads. This also gives SAP a deep services bench for its offerings. On the IBM side, it enables the company to have a channel for cloud, mobile and cognitive. It is a pragmatic and advantageous deepening relationship for both companies."

Behind the Scenes of an Entrepreneur's Eventful Life
For every entrepreneur, life is a series of events and segments of time.
Copious spare time is scarce (or non-existent) because there is always something else to do or coming up waiting in the wings.
Products to launch, networking events to attend and leads to follow up with, speaking opportunities to line up and prepare for, deadlines to meet, email newsletters to draft, edit, and schedule to release, marketing campaigns to develop, new clients to get acquainted with, trade shows to prepare for, business goals to reach. The list goes on and on.
For many entrepreneurs without a team, it is your sole responsibility to develop and produce new products and services, create and implement your marketing and social media strategies, attend to administrative tasks, serve as the sales force and deal with customer service issues, pay the bills and collect unpaid monies that are owed to you, network, build your brand, and if you are lucky, get a little bit of sleep or try to have a life outside of your business.

Julie Morgenstern Brings Us There's Gold In Them There Piles
Organizing expert Julie Morgenstern on how losing your mess could mean financial gain
Click here to read the whole story on the BEYOND TODAY blog
I don't typically talk about work during my "off-hours", but on Saturday night over a late meal with some old and new friends, we got into an interesting discussion about clutter–piles, stacks, folders, closets and shelves filled with old stuff you haven't looked at (or used) in years. What prevents us from diving in and sorting through that stuff?
Everyone felt that it's easy to put off dealing with that "junk" because there always seems to be much more valuable uses of our time. One fellow remarked that it's easier to get rid of something you've only owned a week than something you've owned a year. Another observed that it's harder to make decisions the deeper you go into the stacks—the first third of stuff is easy to toss, the next third you begin to waver, and by the last third you slow to a crawl, deliberating the merits of the tiniest receipt or paper clip.
My dinner partners agreed that digging through piles is unpleasant because it reminds you of things you didn't do, promises you didn't keep, goals abandoned. As long as you keep the piles (you unconsciously tell yourself), there's still a chance of fulfilling those goals.
So—how do you motivate yourself to get the job done? Certainly, there are huge emotional benefits to releasing the clogged past. But I'd like to fortify your resolve by making a case for the financial rewards. As a professional organizer, who's witnessed big payoffs with thousands of clients, I can assure you, there's gold in them thar hills.

(a.k.a. open data 3)
Introduction and team
This project is a spin-off from open data 1 (methodology) and open data 2 (legal solutions) and will result in a legal handbook on open data from the public sector. This project is funded by VINNOVA, lead by Stefan Larsson and will run from December 2013 to August 2014. This means that Lund University Internet Institute has been selected to be funded by all three of VINNOVAS calls on open data. Members in the project team, apart from Stefan Larsson, is Jonas Ledendal Dep of Business Law, and Joakim Lundblad, Chamber of Commerce. In addition to the member of the project group seen in the picture, two legal experts have agree upon being commentators on the book draft: Daniel Westman, researcher in legal informatics, and David Klose, attorney at Moll Wendén Law firm.
Swedish project name: "Offentliga Öppna Data – En juridisk handbok."
Picture: Stefan Larsson; Jonas Ledendal; Joakim Lundblad.
To increase the specific legal knowledge about the regulation of information from the public sector. This is justified because we see the uncertainty that actually exists as a significant threshold for making data sources more openly available.
The project is implemented by 1) informing and training authorities and other stakeholders in the open license and the data policy already developed in the previous project, and 2) the development and publishing of a thorough Swedish legal handbook on psi. The writing and drafting process includes referral reading of external experts to ensure the highest quality and applicability.
Specifically, the immediate benefits of the information measures and the legal handbook the project develops comes from the reduction of legal uncertainty around the complex and multilayered regulations governing the management of information from the public sector. This will likely lead to more data being openly released from this sector.

So here I am at midnight, sitting in a Barcalounger, reading the Collected Fictions of Gordon Lish while idly masturbating. Idly, that is, not idol-ly, because Lish is no god of mine so much as he is a lazy indulgence. And if what comes of this is merely tedium with the occasional spasm of delight, then so be it. Nearly all of these one hundred Collected Fictions are written in the first person—no other people exist for Lish—which will explain this guilty pleasure: me speaking as me, but imitating him.
Perversion, awareness of language, a perverted awareness of language, brevity, comedy, stock phrases, repetition—these mark the fictions of Gordon Lish. Not the stories of Lish, the fictions (Lish enjoys italics, too). Over the past three decades, Lish has published five collections, bound now into one volume that either reliably diverts or dulls with its obsessions: men and women, literature, sex and the self.
I'm of both minds, then, here in my Barca. Lish so obviously knows what he wants out of writing—a single voice singularly voicing, a monologue that pleads but does not please. And yet it's not what I want out of writing—which is to say utter immersion within the tale; not just facile sentences comprising facile clauses, rhetoric-schmetoric, the cant that ultimately can't. Reading prose like "Shun negativity. Eschew negativity. Send down negativity. Turn a cold shoulder to negativity. Never know the name of negativity. Make yourself the assassin of negativity," all I want to do is play Mad Libs, negating each instance of negation with a scatological noun.
Sitting here in my Barca, reading with one hand, it's difficult not to pronounce the pained and painful line, the line that will make me seem even more ridiculous than any public whacking: Lish, editor extraordinaire—reviser of Don DeLillo, Barry Hannah, and Cynthia Ozick—needs an editor. Less collecting, more selecting—there it is. I'm mortified. One of us has no clothes on.
In the twentieth century, editors, supposed to sublimate their egos, developed them to match writer with market: Think of Maxwell Perkins, editor at Charles Scribner's Sons, fleshing out F. Scott Fitzgerald's books while trimming Thomas Wolfe's; think of Lish at Alfred A. Knopf, similarly editing—minimizing—Raymond Carver. Whereas Perkins worried over Wolfe's pacing—and about keeping Fitzgerald sober and solvent—Lish's editorial interventions went beyond deletion and reordering, as he changed words and, along with them, the very intentions of Carver's corpus. He also bragged openly of this redaction while Carver, a Fitzgeraldian figure, drank himself away—their collaboration less amity than an agon. Since the originals of Carver's stories are often two or three times longer than the canonical versions, what Lish did to them requires another verb. Not edit but traduce, violate, or molest. And it's precisely this violence perpetrated by an ulterior intelligence that would make Lish's fun, filthy fictions into something better—into Fiction.
That hazarded, try and take a red pen to this—the beginning of a piece called "The Practice of Everyday Life":
What is it? You think it's me? If it's me, then, okay, then I'm not arguing, then it's me. But what I mean is am I just being too stippy-minded all of the time? Because some of the time I think I am all of the time being just too stippy-minded for my own good. Like take this word come which they use. How come it's come? Didn't you ever stop to think I don't get it how come it's come? How come people don't say go? You know, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going! I just for once in my life would like to hear somebody screaming my God, my God, I'm going! Oh, but they can't, can they? They say they're going and you think they're making a peepee. You say to somebody I'm going, the first thing they're going to think about you is what are you doing, are you making a peepee? Remember when your mother said to you will you please for godsakes go already? Remember when your mother would stand outside the door and say to you I don't have all day, so for godsakes will you please go already? My mother used to do that. My mother used to say make and go. Make was to, you know, make was for you to make a number two, whereas go, go meant do the other one. It was like make was like this productive thing, wasn't it? You make and, presto, if you did it, you made something. There was like this poiesis involved. It was like taking a dump was like having this poiesis which was involved. Okay, I am just thinking my thoughts out loud. Or how about this—how about aloud? You don't hear people saying aloud anymore. Who says aloud anymore? But so who's in charge of these things like this—humanity saying out loud instead of saying aloud? Remember when everybody used to call it a Coney Island Red Hot? There were these places that sold you these frankfurters and they called them Coney Island Red Hots. Forget it. You're not interested. I was just over at my friend Krupp's.
Etc., etc., etc.—for another two pages. Now, this fiction could be cut in different ways: It could begin with "Remember when your mother would stand outside the door"; it could begin with "Okay, I am just thinking my thoughts out loud"; or, and this might be the best solution, it could begin with "I was just over at my friend Krupp's." Alternately, most simply, it could just be cut altogether, for being pointless as a narrative, too long or too short for a prank, and—what's worse—too much like a dozen other pieces in this collection.
Sitting here in my Barca, reading the Collected Fictions of Gordon Lish, I could be doing anything else. I could be describing my Barca, for one, the color and texture of its upholstery; I could be describing the room surrounding my Barca, for another; the room's shelves and what is on them and how the items got there—but that would be literature and so a betrayal of Lish, for whom even furniture is made of language, and who would be more interested in whether I called the room's other seating element a sofa or a couch than in telling the stories of the people who have sat there.
But while Lish's work can always be likened to self-pleasure, self-pleasure—mine and yours—cannot always be likened to Lish's work. It is in this way—in its personal, private aspect—that his inky spatter is truly seminal. The first person, the ascendant voice of the past two centuries—from Dostoyevsky's underground origins to Beckett's authorial endgame—is today the shrillest voice of daily expression: the online overshare, the chat-window confessional. What once was literature—revelatory direct address—has become blogorrhea: the timestamped account of what happened this morning, of what our peeves and attractions are, of what we do to ourselves and one another by night. Lish was former laureate of that plaint, of its degrees of self-knowledge, its valences of tone. If Lish's soliloquies have any counsel for today's solipsistic culture it's this: Every "I" will always be a fiction; every first person is the last person you were.
Joshua Cohen is the author of three novels, including Witz, published this year by Dalkey Archive Press.

Now that you're grown up, sugary cereal is a no-no. Sugary face cleanser, on the other hand, gets a resounding yes. Infused with lemongrass and chamomile, this cleanser gets rid of dirt and oil while gently exfoliating layers of skin with nonabrasive sugar. (The alpha hydroxy acids in raw sugar gently buff away dead layers and excess oils without stripping your skin of its natural moisture.) You'll immediately notice how refreshed your skin feels, not to mention how good the clean, subtle scent of zesty lemon smells. Unlike Lucky Charms, this sweet stuff is good for you.
I really loved how this smelled and how it made my skin feel soft. It must have been an older sample because it was very hard to scoop out of the small container it came in. I had to chip it out with a butter knife in order to use it... but overall pleased with the way it made my skin glow.4

The individual properties we have on offer are French in style and help towards the overall experience of holidaying in the French countryside. The B&B includes en suite bathroom with shower; the gites include kitchen and washing facilities, bathroom and shower; all share access to the pool and gardens.
Frachis Cottages offers 5 acres of extensive grounds that give ample space to enjoy an evening stroll before dinner, let the children explore, or simply relax and lose track of time.
Having holidayed in France for many years whilst our children were growing up, we decided to move here permanently and live our dream enabling us to offer the same enjoyment to other families that we had over the years. Life here is much slower than in the UK, therefore relaxation is the order of the day, we hope you will enjoy your stay with us.
Anita Gould purchased this cottage in 2008
We fell in love with this beautiful area of France and we have always described it as one in a million. It speaks for itself and made our decision that little bit easier. We hope that when you see it you'll agree.
The buildings themselves are very authentic and traditional.
This location offers peace and quiet, at times all that can be heard is the gentle sound of the stream at the bottom of the garden. At night the property benefits from virtually no light pollution and therefore offers amazing opportunities to star gaze.

Hotel Gracery Shinjuku
1-19-1 Kabukicho, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo 160-0021
0.7 km from
Location is very good (if not accompanied by young children or teenagers).new furniture, excellent room amenities, every thing you need is there. Very clean. Toilet is brilliant (shataf and bidet). I would rate it as excellent 3 stars hotel according to European standers Very small rooms 17 sqs meters. Good for young couple with 2 small bags! Poor breakfast
Room was small just like any other hotels in Tokyo / Japan but the bathroom was surprisingly spacious with a separate bath area and bathtub. The hotel is clean and new and staff spoke reasonable amount of english. There is a computer for guests to access internet in the lobby which is great. The bedroom has barely enough space for us to walk, let alone our luggages. The double bed was too small for the 2 of us (mind you, we are just 2 average sized asian). The location is a distance away from Shinjuku station (15mins walk). We had to drag our luggages across the busy streets to arrive at the hotel after alighting at Shinjuku station in the airport limousine bus which we had to repeat when we head back. This is the biggest problem we had of the hotel.
Good central location, right in the middle of Shinjuku, easy to find and to reach by public transport. Very clean. Helpful staff. Small room, big bathroom (the bathroom is as big as the room itself!!)
Impressed by not only being allowed to be ecologically minded but being recompensed. If you choose not to have your room serviced you got back 500¥ per day up to 2days permitted. Other hotels could learn from this
There is nothing to dislike. Very clean and well kept. Nice breakfast and reasonable price for Tokyo. The rooms are somewhat smallish but this is to be expected for Tokyo and the price
Fine location on Shinjuku area, friendly and english-speaking staff, free lan-cable internet and nice breakfast (japanese and western style)
Easy access to the essential street buzz of Shinjuku Breakfast isn't too good. Better eat your breakfast outside.
Nice location but that's about it Never seen Japanese worker has no smile and unwilling to cooperate
The hotel was very clean and the location was very good for someone who is interested in seeing the middle class Japanese lifestyle. The breakfast menu could be more international, it's too Japanese. The complimentary bottled water should be replaced every day.
The location, very close to the Shjinjuku Station. The room was quite small. The only window in the room was fixed with no possibility to open it (the personnel justified it saying that it was due to security reason). Due to this, it was very uncomfortable to stay in the room after a shower for the limited space available and condensed steam on the window, meaning... shower only in the morning and then go. Wi-fi network available only in the lobby and always very very slow.
The location in Shinjuku is excellent you can walk to the Shinjuku station or get a 5 min cab ride. Tokyo is an incredible city but the areas are quite spread out so you need access to the JR or subway so that you can get around quickly. like most Tokyo hotels at this price the rooms are pretty small
all the staff were relly helpful and friendly check- in too late
Room was clean and comfortable. Bed was plenty big (I'm 6'2"). Price couldn't be beat. About a 15 minute walk from Shinjuku station (take exit near new BusTa). As with most rooms in Japan, it was small. Not even enough floor space to open my suitcase. That was to be expected.
I liked it because it was so personal; it felt as if the room was my tiny (and I mean tiny) corner of japan. It had all I needed, and it was well within walking of train stations, food, and shopping. The room was very, very small. Barely room to walk between the bed and table. But I personally didn't need much, so it was fine for me, though surprising.
Close to Shinsuku. Internet OK. Japanese atmosphere....
Quick and friendly service, clean room.

Victory Ness Vision
Model Ness Vision made by Victory got 4 consumer complains. Consumer complaints with reference to service brakes. .
Model 2010
Consumer Complaints
|Fail date
|Purchase date
|There is a severe problem with the rear brakes on all victory vision motorcycles from model year 2008 to 2010 that are not equipped with abs. air somehow gets into the system causing the rear brakes to become completely ineffective with absolutely no warning. there have be numerous complaints from many people about this issue and victory's stance remains that simply bleeding the brakes is the solution to the problem. this is nothing more than a temporary solution and does not fix the design flaw. sooner or later this problem is going to get people killed. victory apparently solved this problem when they switched to the newer abs system that was an option on 2010 vision models and standard on 2011 and newer models. it seems that in their mind, the problem is solved but they are trying to sweep the problem with the older non abs models under the rug. this is unacceptable. i can't think of a worse safety issue than frequently losing brakes with no warning on the highway. victory needs to step up the plate and recall these affected motorcycles.

Over The Edge: A Brief History of Rock and Roll
By Eric Holmberg
Published January 6, 2008
There is a real, and somewhat ironic sense in which rock music has its tap-root in the Kingdom of God. Virtually all music historians trace rock's family tree back through rhythm and blues to the black gospel music of the deep South during the early part of this century.
The African-American culture had at that time cultivated a strong, albeit somewhat rudimentary Christian tradition, which was reflected everywhere in their music.1
Having experienced the ravages of slavery, racial hatred, poverty, and death, their music often focused on their experience with suffering and faith's response to it. Consequently, it tended to emphasize the emotional side of religious human experience rather than the more rational approach favored by the white culture.
The gradual freedoms afforded blacks after the Civil War saw the increasing secularization of gospel music and the corruption, or "sensualization" of this beautiful emotional dimension until a whole new musical category had been created – the "blues." To the casual listener, the difference be-tween the two was often subtle; involving more the "spirit" of the song than the music itself.
Respected "bluesman" Leon Pinson noted this distinction in an interview with Spin magazine: "I'm a minister of the music, and I don't play no blues… Two white folk asked me once, how come your music feels different than the blues? I said it's supposed to make you feel different – if you listen to the words and what the Good Lord says."2
This same negative characterization of the blues from a Christian perspective is echoed in these words by Jessie May Hemphill, a female blues artist: "Mama ain't happy with me, 'cause my soul can't be saved with me runnin' around singing the blues."3
The history of rock and roll was literally written by African-American artists who left the "light" of the church and gospel music in order to em-brace the darker and more main-stream possibilities of this emerging musical style.4 A good example is writer, producer, and musician Willie Dixon. Dixon was the master architect of the epochal Chicago sound defined by Chess records in the Fifties and early Sixties and practically shaped the musical destinies of groups like the Rolling Stones, Cream, and Led Zeppelin.
His own destiny, however, was worked out in a small farm in Mississippi some forty years earlier. His mother was a devoted Christian; his father an outlaw type he saw only periodically and who taught him that Christianity was just a subtle form of brainwashing. Whose example did he follow in his life and music? Sexually charged songs like "Back Door Man," "I Just Want to Make Love to You," "(I'm Your) Hoochie Coochie Man," and "Little Red Rooster," among many others, leave little doubt.
Perhaps the best example of this corruption of gospel music and its subsequent influence on the development of rock is found in the life and music of legendary blues artist Robert Johnson. While not as well known as Little Richard or Elvis Presley, it can easily be argued that Johnson, more than these two men or anyone else, is the true father of rock and roll. For example, in the liner notes of Columbia Records re-mastered collection of his recordings, music historian Stephen LaVere writes:
And to the world at large, however unaware it might be, Robert Johnson is the most influential bluesman of all time and the person most responsible for the shape popular music has taken in the last five decades!
In August of 1990, Spin magazine featured an article entitled "35 Guitar Gods" – a rating of the most important guitarists in rock history. Johnson easily won the competition. And Eric Clapton, guitar legend in his own right, described his singing as "the most powerful cry that I think you can find in the human voice."
Recalling the first time he heard his music, Clapton said: "It was as if I had been prepared to receive Robert Johnson, almost like a religious experience."5 Eric Clapton is far from alone in this type of adulation; from Keith Richards to Robert Palmer, those who un-derstand rock's heart know that Robert Johnson is the man who made it beat.
We know surprisingly little about Johnson's short life. As a young black man in Hazelhurst, Mississippi, however, there is little doubt that he grew up in and around the church and gospel music.6 Friends recall that one of his earliest and most lasting musical influences was Son House, "a precarious combination of bluesman and preacher."7
Sadly, like many musicians after him, the life of singing and living the blues was simply too at-tractive for a talented young man with a knack for playing the guitar and getting in and out of trouble – what little Christian idealism he might have possessed was all but lost in his pursuit of "wine, women, and song."
Most of the twenty-nine titles he later recorded focused on what were to become the great themes of rock and roll – illicit sex (and the consequences thereof), getting high, and, incredibly enough, Satan. It was even commonly accepted that his sudden and almost supernatural ability to play the guitar came from making a deal with the devil. Superstition? Probably – though songs like "Me and the Devil Blues" make one wonder.
Early this mornin', ooh when you
knocked upon my door
And I said, "Hello, Satan, I believe it's time to go."
Me and the Devil, ooh, was walkin' side by side
And I'm goin' to beat my woman until I get satisfied
On August 16 – the same day Elvis died – of 1938, and at the same age as Jimi Hendrix – 27- Robert Johnson died; the victim of strychnine-laced whiskey slipped to him by a jealous husband. The consummate rock star mold had been prepared into which many other talented lives would be poured in the decades to come.
To understand Johnson's life and legacy, we must first understand that classical satanic thought and activity, whether its sexual (moral), philosophical, or magical, is essentially a reaction to Judeo-Christian orientations within a particular society. As the "Resister" or the "Counterfeiter," both translations of the various diabolical names found in Scripture, Satan needs a God to resist; a truth to supplant with a lie.
It is in this context that we can understand not only the underlying forces that gave rise to the life and music of Robert Johnson, but why it was America and England that predominantly made rock and roll what it is today. Both countries were profoundly affected by the Great Awakening, a spiritual revival that firmly re-established Christianity as the religious and moral foundation of the nation.
Both had seen the gradual erosion of spiritual passion and the sub-sequent increase in social problems and unrest, particularly among their youth. And both ultimately provided a young, eager, and participatory audience for this new music's sensuous urgency. The battle had begun.
Where Christianity emphasized personal holiness and taught that physical passions needed to be brought under the control of the Spirit, the message of first the blues and then rock was to "get your mojo working." Because throwing off restraint is a gradual process, popular music initially maintained a certain measure of decorum, and sex was alluded to only euphemistically. Johnson sang about being a "steady rollin' man" and Fats Domino found his "thrill" on Blueberry Hill. Today, it's far more explicit.8
Where Christianity emphasized transcendence through God, discipline, and "seeking first the Kingdom of God," the new music told young people to "ramble," be a "freebird," get "satisfaction," and if they ever needed transcendence – to "get high with a little help from their friends."
Where Christianity gave preeminence and worship to Jesus as Incarnate God and Saviour, rock music either ignored Him, mocked Him, or tried to strip Him of His glory and parade Him about with a host of false prophets and cardboard messiahs.
Where Christianity abominated sin and its ravaging power and put forth a crucified God as its atonement, rock took as one of its primary themes the fiery embrace of rebellion against God's commandments. The blues was sin's lament, hard rock its celebration, soft rock its quiet advocacy – God's view was nowhere to be found.
Where Christianity insisted that children "obey their parents in the Lord" and respect, even reverence authority, rock and roll made Mom and Dad out to be idiots without a clue as to what was really going on. What began as "Don't trust anybody over thirty" became "I am an anarchist!" and suddenly time didn't seem to be on anybody's side.
Where Christianity identified Satan as the enemy of our souls, rock and roll lauded him as its patron saint.
Where Christianity warned of "a certain terrifying expectation of judgment, and the fury of a fire which shall consume the adversaries,"9 dozens of rock groups sang enthusiastically about the "highway to hell." Contemporary music fiddled and the nation burned.
Practically anything Christianity extolled, rock tore down; and virtually everything the Bible and Jesus condemned, at least some segment of the rock and roll industry promoted. Ultimately, its own nature, or at least the way that nature was defined, necessitated this "anti-Christ" orientation – as a reaction against authority it had no other choice but to square off against the greatest Authority of all. But instead of a "palace of wisdom," this "road of excess" led to a darkness of such suffocating intensity that for many there has been no return.10
1 By "rudimentary," I simply mean that because there was little education available to blacks and most couldn't even read, their theological training was often not very sophisticated. This is not to say, however, that their spirituality wasn't. Quite the contrary; few seminaries can compete with the depth gained by a childlike faith and dependence upon God in the midst of tribulation.
2 Spin, June, 1990, p.48
3 Ibid, p.45
4 The same is true today. It's amazing how many black artists have received their musical training in church and then left to make a name for themselves in popular music. Some, like Lionel Ritchie and M.C. Hammer, even struggled with a calling into full time ministry before being "led" into the "big time." There's a lesson to be learned here somewhere.
5 "Robert Johnson – The Complete Recordings," Columbia Records, 1990, pp.22, 23.
6 La Vere describes Johnson as "a simple country boy with a view of life encumbered by a strict set of social and sexual mores …" (Ibid, p.20) "Encumbered" is an interesting choice of words and tells the reader something about the bias that exists among the writers and reviewers who are into rock and roll.
7 Ibid, p.11. It's interesting that even La Vere recognizes the spiritual incompatibility that exists between these two styles of music.
8 I could use literally hundreds of ridiculously graphic songs as examples, including some by the biggest names in the music business.
9 Hebrews 10:27.
10 "The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom." (Proverbs of Hell, William Blake) Incredibly, this was among Jim Morrison's favorite quotes.

Why Creeds and Confessions? (Book)
High Quality Paperback — 219 pages
Foundations in Biblical Orthodoxy
Driving down a country road sometime, you might see a church with a sign proudly proclaiming: "No book but the Bible — No creed but Christ." The problem with this statement is that the word creed (from the Latin: credo) simply means "belief." All Christians have beliefs, regardless of whether they are written.
Yet a single book containing the actual texts of the most important creeds of the early Church will not often be found. Out of the multitude of works on the evangelical Christian book market today, those dealing with the creeds of the Church are scarce.
Why Creeds and Confessions? provides a foundation of biblical orthodoxy as a defense against the false and truly heretical doctrines advanced by the spirit of this age.

The Real Jesus: A Defense of the Historicity and Divinity of Christ (DVD)
Who is the Real Jesus?
Ever since the dawn of modern rationalism, skeptics have sought to use textual criticism, archeology and historical reconstructions to uncover the "historical Jesus" — a wise teacher who said many wonderful things, but fulfilled no prophecies, performed no miracles and certainly did not rise from the dead in triumph over sin.
Over the past 100 years, however, startling discoveries in biblical archeology and scholarship have all but vanquished the faulty assumptions of these doubting modernists. Regrettably, these discoveries have often been ignored by the skeptics as well as by the popular media. As a result, the liberal view still holds sway in universities and impacts the culture and even much of the church.
The Real Jesus explodes the myths of these critics and the movies, books and television programs that have popularized their views. Presented in ten parts — perfect for individual, family and classroom study — viewers will be challenged to go deeper in their knowledge of Christ in order to be able to defend their faith and present the truth to a skeptical modern world – that the Jesus of the Gospels is the Jesus of history — "the same yesterday, today and forever" (Hebrews 13:8). He is the real Jesus.
Speakers include: George Grant, Ted Baehr, Stephen Mansfield, Raymond Ortlund, Phil Kayser, David Lutzweiler, Jay Grimstead, J.P. Holding, and Eric Holmberg.

Frank Schaeffer Will You Please Shut Up! (Book)
High Quality Paperback — 200 pages
A Reasonable Response to Christian Postmodernism
Includes a response to the book Christian Jihad by Colonel V. Doner
The title of this book is a misnomer. In reality, I am not trying to get anyone to shut up, but rather to provoke a discussion. This book is a warning about the philosophy of "Christian postmodernism" and the threat that it poses not only to Christian orthodoxy, but to the peace and prosperity our culture as well. The purpose is to equip the reader with some basic principles that can be used to refute their arguments.
Part 1 is a response to some of the recent writings by Frank Schaeffer, the son of the late Francis Schaeffer. This was originally written as a defense against Frank's attacks on pro-life street activism – a movement that his father helped bring into being through his books, A Christian Manifesto, How Should We Then Live? and Whatever Happened to the Human Race? These works have impacted literally hundreds of thousands of Christian activists.
Part 2 is a response to Colonel Doner and his book, Christian Jihad: Neo-Fundamentalists and the Polarization of America. Doner was one of the key architects of the Christian Right that emerged in the 1980s, who now represents the disillusionment and defection many Christian activists experienced in the 1990s and 2000s. There is still great hope for America to be reformed according to biblical principles. As a new generation is emerging, it is important to recognize the mistakes that Christian activists have made in the past even while holding to a vision for the future.

Go Stand Speak (DVD)
With "preaching to the lost" being such a basic foundation of Christianity, why do many in the church seem to be apathetic on this issue of preaching in highways and byways of towns and cities?
Is it biblical to stand in the public places of the world and proclaim the gospel, regardless if people want to hear it or not?
Does the Bible really call church pastors, leaders and evangelists to proclaim the gospel in the public square as part of obedience to the Great Commission, or is public preaching something that is outdated and not applicable for our day and age?
These any many other questions are answered in this documentary.

The Silent Scream (DVD) Eight Languages
"When the lives of the unborn are snuffed out, they often feel pain, pain that is long and agonizing." – President Ronald Reagan to National Religious Broadcasters Convention, January 1981
Ronald Reagan became convinced of this as a result of watching The Silent Scream – a movie he considered so powerful and convicting that he screened it at the White House.
The modern technology of real-time ultrasound now reveals the actual responses of a 12-week old fetus to being aborted. As the unborn child attempts to escape the abortionist's suction curette, her motions can be seen to become desperately agitated and her heart rate doubles. Her mouth opens – as if to scream – but no sound can come out. Her scream doesn't have to remain silent, however … not if you will become her voice. This newly re-mastered version features eight language tracks and two bonus videos.
"… a high technology "Uncle Tom's Cabin" arousing public opinion just as Harriet Beecher Stowe's 1852 antislavery novel ignited the abolitionist movement." – Sen. Gordon Humphrey, Time Magazine

2004 Alzero Giuseppe Quintarelli
Bt (75cl)
Bt (75cl)
0 immediate, 1 marketplace
Average critic rating : 96.0 points
The stunning 2004 Cabernet Alzero is beautiful beyond words. What really stands out is the startling focus and definition of this elegant wine. Cabernet grapes are air-dried for added intensity and heft. This is unlike any other red wine made in Valpolicella. Its seamless elegance is infinite and so is its sheer might. It's a wine that soothes the senses but that also awakens and challenges them. The 2004 vintage is a brilliant expression with evident pedigree that requires hours of contemplation and respect. It's engineered to last. Drink 2015-2030. ||In the years leading up to "Bepi" Quintarelli's death in 2012 from Parkinson-s disease, there was a lot of confusion over who was managing affairs at the winery. Understandably, getting samples was difficult and visitor requests often went unanswered. Giuseppe Quintarelli had been sick for a long time and his survivors include four daughters and a slew of grandchildren. More than a year after his death, it seems a new chapter has commenced. The winery has a new United States importer (Kermit Lynch) and Quintarelli's heirs Francesco and Lorenzo (both grandsons) with Giampaolo (son-in-law) are communicative and excellent professionals. I hope the Quintarelli star will continue to rise. I have reviewed the 2003 Amarone Classico here. The 2004 will be released in early 2014. eRobertParker.com.October, 2013
Icon is a word that only goes some way to describe the late Giuseppe Quintarelli. The master of the Veneto, Giuseppe established the family estate, which was founded in 1924, as not only Veneto's most important, but one of the world's finest during his sixty-year career. The estate is now run by his daughter and grandchildren, but the Quintarelli name still stands as a stamp of authenticity and traditional, artisan production of the highest possible quality.
The flagship wine of the estate is the exceedingly rare Amarone della Valpolicella - one of the most traditionally produced Amarones, which is aged for seven years in Slavonian oak botti. However, despite being known for tradition, an innovative streak runs throughout the estate. It was the Quintarelli Valpolicella that opened the eyes of fellow producers, showcasing just what is possible from the region and their portfolio includes non-traditional blends. The dry white wine Bianco Secco, for instance, blends several local varieties and the brilliant Primofiore, combines the traditional with the not-so-typical Cabernets Sauvignon and Franc.
A visit to the estate shows that Giuseppe's spirit lives on. Spitting is still prohibited: the wine is what is important here and there is a tangible feeling of 'respect' for the wines, the property and tradition. This is one of Italy's greatest estates: one with a spirit and a heart.

Our storage costs are highly competitive. We will happily accept cases or single bottles, charging pro-rata based on the number of bottles and length of storage period.
Unlike many other wine companies, our service includes storage of duty paid wines as well as in bond from any reputable source, not just those bought through FINE+RARE.
Please visit our F+R Storage information page for more details.
FINE+RARE can arrange delivery of your wines to your personal fine wine storage account:
Deliveries within London City Bond or to a Vinotheque storage account are charged at £ 8 + VAT for up to 10 cases (12x75cl or equivalent).
Deliveries to all other storage providers are charged at £ 16 + VAT for up to 10 cases (12x75cl or equivalent).
