After this year's horrible winter, the spring travel bug should be biting with a vengeance. But as you plan your getaways, try not to become the stereotypical "Ugly American."
A new Quora thread addresses the issue of travel etiquette, asking people around the world what tourists should absolutely not do when visiting their home countries.
Check out some of the top Quora responses below.

Don't stare at naked people: "People are pretty relaxed about nudity, and both men and women will for example change on public beaches without any attempt at covering themselves up. You are however expected to look away."
Don't unwrap flowers before you give them as a gift: "Germans do this."
Don't ask people about church: "Most attend none, and asking this is seen as intrusive, rude and downright weird."
Don't expect special treatment: "People are very informal here and being on a first-name-basis with anyone short of the King is the norm. Even the prime-minister of Norway is most often referred to by first name."
Answers by Eivind Kjørstad
Don't tip anyone: "Tipping is just not part of the culture. Don't even leave the small change. People will come running after you with it."
Don't wear your shoes in someone's
house: "If you see other people taking their
shoes off, do the same. (Note: there's a small area right inside
the entrance called a 'genkan' which is usually one level below
the rest of the house, where you take off your shoes. You don't
take them off outside the house!)"
Don't hug people you just met: "Most
people don't like it, especially older folk."

escalator: "In Tokyo you stand on the left.
In Osaka you stand on the right. Follow what other people are

Don't give an even number of flowers as a gift: "That's for dead folks. Proper bouquet will have 1/3/5/7 flowers."
Don't rely on a credit
card: "There are lots of places which only
accept cash."
Don't assume the people support everything the
government does: "Quite often we don't. Don't
criticize our government. We do it a lot by ourselves, we don't
need your help in that."

Don't disrespect religion: "Almost everyone you meet
is religious; religion here is always on fashion, so if someone
asks you if you are religious, don't take offense because it is
common for everyone to follow a religion, and around 80% of the
population are Christians."
Don't be impatient: "Hardly anything
runs on time, with an exception of a couple of business meetings
and bank closing hours and most other
businesses. Everything runs late, don't get pissed off or

Don't expect a huge amount of vegan options: "Notify people you visit and be careful in which restaurants you go. Very few people are vegan in France compared to some other countries, and although the situation is slowly improving, the awareness and acceptance of it are still quite poor. Some older people especially can consider it a 'weird' or even radical behavior."
Don't talk about
money: "For example,
you can tell you quit a job because you were
underpaid, but you should not mention how much exactly. There are
old taboos about speaking of money in the French culture, many
people consider it a 'dirty' topic."
Don't expect people to speak
English: "The French educational system is
bad at teaching foreign languages, with an excessive focus on
reading and writing compared to conversational skills. Many older
people will only know a bit of bad and heavily accented English
and/or possibly German or Spanish."

uneducated or mentally ill."
Don't be overly
friendly: "Germans like to gradually warm up
to people and take time to really get to know them before acting
like BFFs."
Don't wish someone a happy birthday before the
actual day: "The origin is a superstition
that something bad will happen to them (they might die) before
their birthday if you do, however this rule is not limited to
superstitious people. Even bright, rational Germans will feel
uncomfortable because it's just not done."

Mathematical Models Derived Indices for the Selection and Planning of a Specific Optimal Treatment to the Patient in Heart Failure
This trial is active, not recruiting.
Condition | heart failure |
Treatment | expert system development |
Sponsor | University Hospital, Caen |
Start date | November 2014 |
End date | November 2016 |
Trial size | 30 participants |
Trial identifier | NCT02732977, 2014-A00693-44 |
Heart failure is a growing throughout pathology in Europe. It is a public health issue and an economic issue. The management to be effective needs to be early but specific. Generic treatment (medication, rehabilitation, hygienic dietary measures) known for over 15 years and has demonstrated its effectiveness, come s'ajouter solutions specific, technically complex and expensive to implement. Because of the potential risk to the patient and their cost to the company, these new techniques need to be adapted to each case. The passage of a generic simple treatment for everyone in the single treatment tailored to each patient requires decision support tools for the clinician. These tools or decision trees are developed using mathematical and statistical models fed by all patient data (imaging, biology physiology ...) before and after implementation of treatment. Predictive response models of a treatment applied to a particular pathology can thus be generated.
It is this type of models applied in systolic heart failure complicated by mitral regurgitation and / or cardiac synchronization that will be generated in this project from 150 patients included in 3 European clinical studies (London, Brussels, Caen). In Caen we will include 30 patients in this single-center study

Additional Information
Official title | Mathematical Models Derived Indices for the Selection and Planning of a Specific Optimal Treatment to the Patient in Heart Failure |
Principal investigator | Eric SE Saloux, MD |
Description | Heart failure (HF) is a clinical problem increasingly common throughout Europe, partly because of the aging population and increasing numbers of patients now survive after myocardial infarction [1, 2] . The IC is a progressive disease and when patients require hospitalization, long-term prognosis is poor [3]. The treatment of IC is focused on improving the work of the failing heart via the use of specific drugs, if necessary by cardiovascular interventions correcting structural lesions (mitral regurgitation) or correcting a disorganized contraction (therapy resynchronization). However, the IC is a disease complex with multiple factors pathophysiological interdependent making difficult treatment choices optimal or of a combination therapeutic optimal. The technologies HPV predictive, such as tools for processing data, statistical models and simulations biophysical that incorporate these factors pathophysiological have tremendous potential to help improve our understanding of the response to treatment in the context of the IC. In particular, they have the potential to improve the selection of patients for cardiovascular interventions such as cardiac resynchronization therapy and / or that an intervention on the mitral valve [4]. Projects recent - European (HPV or Human physiological virtual) and national - have developed a large number of these technologies, but n'ont not been fully released into the environment clinic to help care for patients IC. The objective of VP2HF project is to develop and validate in clinical settings computer modeling platform to integrate non-invasive clinical and imaging evidence acquired in patients with heart failure ( IC) for two reasons: 1. Identify for each patient, the likely response to different therapeutic interventions with all clinical data processed by a decision support system. 2. Optimize responses or interventions selected for each patient to maximize treatment response. This is a pilot study to generate complete data sets used to parameterize the model calculations. All patients will have an accurate imaging assessment and a detailed assessment of bio-signals at times (time points) accurate (as shown above) with variations depending on the sustained cardiovascular procedure described below . Preoperatively - Evaluation of symptoms with the Minnesota Quality of Life Questionnaire in patients with heart failure (MLHFQ) - 6 minute walk test - cardiopulmonary stress test (CPET) to assess VO2 max - Reference initials Blood tests (CBC, urea and electrolytes, NT-proBNP) - 2D and 3D cardiac echocardiography - Cardiac MRI including myocardial tattoo 3D sequences (tagging 3D) and 4D sequences for blood circulation - Non-invasive measurement of central blood pressure Peri-interference Whatever the treatment envisaged by the surgical team in charge of processing (resynchronization, mitral clip, mitral valve repair or mitral valve replacement) operative techniques and monitoring procedures will be those normally used by operators. Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) can be considered that 70% of patients in our cohort eligible for a CRT are also eligible for this project. Invasive measurement of left ventricular pressure with and without stimulation may also be acquired to study the acute hemodynamic effects of CRT and to make comparisons with the extent of NBP in order to test and validate the noninvasive pressure estimates and mechanical modeling tools. Repair and replacement of the mitral valve: It is expected that 30% of our cohort of patients have significant mitral regurgitation requiring intervention, mainly to repair the mitral valve and the occasional replacement of the mitral valve when the repair is unsuccessful. In some of these patients, the repair will be carried out by trans-catheter track and they will hemodynamic measurements in the aorta, the left ventricle and the left atrium before and after the repair of the mitral valve that will be used for the purposes of test and validate non-invasive estimates of pressure and mechanical modeling tools. Immediately after surgery All patients will again echocardiography, non-invasive measurement of central blood pressure. Followed at 6 months We will again perform , 6 months after surgery , complete postoperative evaluation unless cardiac MRI in patients with a CRT ( because this review is against - indicated ) . in addition to standard care pathway exams non-invasive measurement of central blood pressure The non -invasive blood pressure management Centron Diagnostics uses a humeral standard oscillatory cuff estimate both the PA peripheral and central aortic pressure. For the patient, this is an experiment similar to that of an automatic blood pressure recording . All patients benefit from this measure . Exams IRM3T to Cycéron (M0 and M6) |

I will be looking for a manual focus Nikkor 85. I do not need the extra speed (or cost) of a 1.4, and so a 1.8 or f/2 would be fine. I plan on using this "portrait" focal length in a somewhat atypical manner--i.e. outdoors. Thus, sharpness will be essential. In certain situations, I will use the lens in a more conventional manner, too. Which 85 would be best--the AI 1.8, 1.8 H, 1.8 HC, AI f/2...? Please be as specific as possible.
Don't rule out AId lenses! Single-coated pre AI lenses are my favorite Nikkor glass, and they are super cheap compared to AI and later lenses. An AId lens may go for less or may go for more than an unmodified pre-AI lens, depending on which way the wind is blowing, but one will almost certainly go for less than an AI or later version. If lens speed is really not important to you, I'd go for the slowest one you can get, as it will likely be the cheapest, and will be just fine in quality.
The AF (D or non-D) manually focuses quite nicely (not very damped but I find it to be fine). The results are spectacular. I use my non-D AF lens on manual bodies more often than I AF with it.
This one: I've had two. This version, and the single coated Nikkor-H version. Both perform pretty much identically. Both lenses were factory AI'd, when I got them. Not sure if my current one (the one depicted above on my F2A) was originally sold with the AI conversion ring or not, but, that doesn't matter to me. It is my favorite lens, and, since it's the MF version, it takes 52mm filters. -J
If you are looking for the bargain of low price and high image quality, along with truly stellar build, choose a Nikkor 85mm 1.8 H or H.C. Same optics as the K series which was the forerunner of the Ai series, the H has less coatings than the H.C which truly has multi-coating. Make sure to get a good hood, the HN-7 works well, but shooting without the hood nearly wide open at a backlit portrait will grant you much praise form the subject, has a nice dreamy yet sharp quality, a Must Try with this lens. I have many 85's, 2 F2, H, H.C, the beautiful 1.4 AiS and the AF 1.8. Eventually I'll get the 1.4 AF when the new one comes out. The Scallopped Ring 1.8 H or H.C. has a great combination of price, value, build, speed, sharpness and character. I have 2 of the F2 models, the longer focussing throw Ai and the shorter throw AiS and while they are decent lenses and a handy weight and size, the MF 1.8 is a better lens.
I forgot to ask: is the AI H NPK version single-coated or multi-coated? In similar condition, both the AI H NPK and AI'd versions seem to be in the same price range. I will probably go for one of these two.
Since the H.C. clearly has a true multi-coating, many have assumed that the pervious series only had 'single' coating. Nikon (and a lot of other makers too) was putting more than one layer of coatings on lenses for quite a while, (especially on interior element sets, usually so the operator wouldn't "clean" them) and even stated it in product info. The full-on multi layer came after Pentax started making it a marketing thing, and everyone else had to keep up. That said the additional coatings do help with color rendition and contrast in backlit shooting, but if you shoot mostly B&W and use a hood the early series are quite sharp and have a charming character, seems to pull more subtle tones out the shadows in B&W for me. Some of my Nikkor F series have a cooler color 'tone' when shooting in color, sometimes that can add to the image impact. If you can find the H.C for good price get that one, especially if you plan on doing more color work, if not the H can be gotten for silly money and is a solid lens.
I've got the 85mm Nikkor - H, f1.8, that I bought in Japan when I was in the Navy in the early 1970's. Has worked flawlessly.
I can't talk about "best," since I haven't used all the Nikkor 85's, but even my rather battered 85mm f2 AIS has never given me cause to complain about its optical performance.
Thanks... I just discovered Ken Rockell's review and tests of the Nikkor 85s. I find it interesting that most here prefer the earlier versions (the 1.8), yet Rockwell prefers the 85/2 AIS. He refers to the reputation of the earlier 1.8s as "folklore" rather than truth. Also, in terms of price, the true bargain is the 85/2 AIS. At KEH, it goes for $149 less than the 1.8 AId version (I use KEH prices as my standard)--$364 (EX) vs. $215 (EX). I have not seen the deep discounts (which have been cited here thus far) for non-AI, AI H, and AId 85s. In fact, the opposite is true...the earlier lenses cost significantly more than the newer ones.
Well, I won't go into KR mental fantasyland but I own all of the MF Nikkor 85's including two of the F2's and I can assure you from testing many times both film and dig that while the F2 is a fine lens the 1.8 is better. Better wide open, better 1 stop down, less vignetting, sharper wide open and better sharpness over the whole field sooner, better bokeh, less veiling flare wide open, higher build quality, better coatings (the F2 seems to have less on the exterior, the same on interior compared to the H.C or K series). Yep, its lighter, and smaller, maybe that's all that KR judges on. That said the 85mm f2 does go in the bag as often as the 1.8, which for both is more than the 1.4 Ais, but I think that's purely for weight reasons. Sometimes I need to shave weight to add a few other lenses to the bag, and since I'm confident of my testing methods I can work around the F2's weaker points to fill the 85mm need. If the need for speed is top of the list than the 1.4 goes, if its a good chance I'll need more speed but might need more weight savings than its the 1.8. Funny how the marketplace has spoken, and the 1.8 has more value relative to the f2. Still, you can find deals on the 1.8 whereas the f2 seems to have a constant value.
Ah, yes, the KR guy who doesn't actually test gear, just writes a review from a press release... Personally, I would take KR's recommendations with a grain of salt. Unless you need an 85mm MF lens that will matrix meter with an FA or an F4, the 1.8 is a better deal. -J
This question comes up on other websites too. I have an 85/2 AI and I like it. By the time of the 85/2 I think more people could afford such a lens. There just aren't that many 85/1.8s around. The ones I see are very expensive. The difference between 85 and 100 or 85 and 105 is not that great and I prefer shooting portraits with a 100 or 105. I also don't like shooting portraits with a lens as fast as f/2 or f/1.8 wide open. For these reasons I will reach for the 85/2 mostly when I need the extra speed and when I'm not shooting in the close range. I think both versions of the 105/2.5 are excellent for portraits. For Canon I have an 85/1.8 New FD as well as an 85/1.8 FL. I especially like the FL lens. For Konica I prefer the 85/1.8 Hexanon to the 100/2.8 Hexanon. My favorite 100s include the 100/2.8 Canon FD SSC, 100/2.8 Canon New FD, Minolta 100/2.5 MC Rokkor and 100/2.8 Zuiko.
If you've got $1K to spend, the 105 2.0 DC AF-D is amazing outdoors. I use it for panoramas with digital, and it excels for that. It's also of course very good for short DOF activities (like portraits) like it's DC control ring is intended for. It focuses manually rather smoothly too; as I sometimes set it to manual focus for panoramas and IR digital.
Ah Dynachrome, we have a few things in common. I've never forgotten how sharp negs were from the Zuiko 100 2.8, makes me wish I'd kept some of my extensive Oly collection around. As well the 85 FL is a real gem.
This additional commentary has been very helpful. I have never been one to focus on (pun intended) one person's commentary, KR's or otherwise. It is reassuring, though, when one provides a detailed explation of one's findings, as RidingWaves has done. I have owned the Canon lenses mentioned above...and I still own the Zuiko 100/2.8. All are very nice. If it were not for the problems I had with keeping the F-1N from malfunctioning in winter (this happened with more than one body), I would have kept my Canon gear. The Zuiko 100/2.8 seems to me to be the best of the bunch, though my first batch of results with the 105/2.5 AI has been quite impressive--dead-sharp real. I am not that impressed with my OM2n body, though. There is nothing terribly wrong with it, but I do not like the shallow (and thus impossible to use) tripod socket on the Winder 2, and the rather weak connection between the body and the Winder 2. My Nikons feel much more solid. Likwise, the Canons I had were very solid.
Yeah its kinda hard to get some sort of accurate comparison when you just shoot a few frames at the camera store. Much different than owning multiple samples (and having access to a few more) and doing a few rounds of controlled testing to really show what the lenses are all about. FWIW, from 5.6 on you could have any Nikkor 85 and they'll look nice and sharp, its what happens near wide open (and what you need the lens to do) that shows the difference. Compared the ends of the extremes, the 1.4 at F2 is already a sharper and 'cleaner' look than the F2 at F2, and even both at 2.8 the 1.4 still really shines in direct comparison, but both shot on different days and conditions the difference would be challenging to pinpoint. Its truly a testament to the F2 actually, once you get into the middle stops you'd certainly think that it was pretty darn good (and it is). Just on build quality alone I'd choose a 1.8 over the F2, some of the F2's Ai series have the potential to fall out of adjustment and the excessively fiddly internal construction means it can take a bit to repair it right. Also, the really long focus throw of the Ai 85 f2 makes it slower to focus, the Ais has a much shorter throw which I like.
I have the 85mm f2.0. It is a very good lens however after obtaining the 105mm f2.5 ais I seldom use the 85mm. Just a point to consider.
I have both the 85mm 1.8 HC, and the AF 85mm 1.4, both are really good. The 1.4 is just fabulous at all apertures and is the first choice for portraits with shallow DOF, but would be overkill for your landscape work, both in price and weight. The 1.8 is much more compact and I agree with the others in that it should be your first choice, and don't dismiss the single coated version, especially if you are shooting B&W.

Do it yourself extreme cooling
Subject: Cases and Cooling | May 17, 2006 - 04:26 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
If you have more spare time than spare change, and have avoided phase change cooling because of the price, then this guide will eat up some of that time. MAKE:Blog has linked to an article describing how to build your own phase change cooling system.
"This project has been many months in the making and I finally had enough time to put this thing
together. For those people that aren't HVAC engineers, Phase Cooling involves using a refrigeration
compressor to compress a gas till it changes phases to a liquid. This liquefied gas is then pumped
into an evaporator which is place on your processor/GPU. While inside the evaporator, the liquefied
gas changes phases back to a gas, and while doing this it sucks up heat and gets pulled back into the
compressor, completing the cycle. Now that you have been educated in the basic principles of phase
cooling, it is time to get into the meat of this article."

My girlfriend and I order here all the time. We always get the same pepperoni and green olive pizza because we're freaks. The pizza is great and the service is great. We appreciate you guys and we will continue to order.
We went to the mount Juliet location and it was wonderful. Hot and cheesy pizza and cheesy bread was great. Best I ever had. Will return again soon.
Sausage had a unique but great taste and the crust was perfect for both pizzas! We are from Virginia and relied on family recommendation which was spot on.
We have only tried Marco's Pizza few times but have been impressed with it both times. The sauce is good, the crust is perfect and the topping are really good. Nothing bad at all to say. The service was helpful and friendly.
This is great pizza with a wonderful sauce. It had real mozzarella cheese also. We had pizza with feta and artichokes. Delicious!
The pizza is a close run to pizza from Chicago. They use real Italian sausage and real mozzarella cheese. And, the prices are great. Also, the staff is very very kind and professional. We order probably every week now. Its a fav in our family.

Gathering adequate information helps you spot bad checks – and recover funds when checks bounce.
If you're worried about getting a bad check, ask for another form of payment. "To protect yourself, encourage the use of credit cards," says Ahlquist. "Another thing salons can do is set a limit for checks, say under $50 or $70, and anything over that amount must be paid for with a credit card or cash. That limits your loss."
Everyone bounces a check occasionally, and most people want to make the check good as quickly as possible. "When we get a check back from the bank, we call the customer right away," says Shanks. "The customers are usually appalled that the check bounced, and the funds are made up within a week." You can let the customer know you're going to redeposit the check, and you can call the customer's bank to ask if sufficient funds are available in the account before you redeposit the check.
If the check comes back a second time, contact the client again and ask that she come to the salon with cash or a credit card to make a good payment. Most customers whose checks bounce twice solve the problem this way, and rarely is any further action necessary.
If you get the check back again or the client is uncooperative, you have to take stronger action. "You have two choices," says Ahlquist. "You can recover the funds yourself or you can use a check recovery service," If you decide to recover the funds yourself, the first step is to write a letter to the client.
"Develop a form letter saying the check has been sent through the bank and declined. Tell the client you want immediate payment, stating the law and its code number. Give the client a time frame to get hold of you, usually 48 hours. If the check is paid by then, you will take no further action. Then, send the letter by registered mail," advises Ahlquist. "If there has been no response after 48 hours, take the receipt to the police. The police will issue a warrant for the person and when they catch the customer, you go to small claims court to recover the money."
Ahlquist recommends using a check recovery service. "Most good-sized cities have them," says Ahlquist. "I recommend them because most salons are not diligent, and you must stay on top of a bad check."
Your district attorney's office may have a Bad Check Enforcement Program for businesses that want to recover funds lost from a bad check. The district attorney's office usually requires that a business owner submit the check to the bank twice or requires the face value of the check to be a minimum amount. Your local Chamber of Commerce will have the details.
The bottom line for recovering funds is to be prompt and thorough in dealing with bounced checks. It isn't necessary to take a tough stance about accepting checks – but it is necessary to be tough when you get a bad check from an uncooperative customer. Whether you recover the funds yourself or have someone else do it for you, be firm. The business that earns the reputation for being easy-going about a bad check will soon have plenty to worry about.

Michael Jackson, the King of Pop: The Big Picture : the Music! the Man! the Legend! the Interviews : an AnthologyWritten by a true fan, this internationally bestselling book chronicles Michael Jackson's interviews with such major talk show hosts and leading magazines as Oprah Winfrey, Dianne Sawyer Barbara Walters, "USA Today," and "Vibe Magazine." Includes lists of his songs, lyrics, and films. 16-page color insert. |
What people are saying - Write a review
This is the most positive book I have read concerning the "Great Man" himself, Michael Jackson.It was a pleasure to read, simply because it was told in a non-hypo/non-exaggerated/non drooley way, if you get my drift. These days anything written about Michael is a chance for some hate-filled journalist/author, or anyone in particular to give vent to his/her own "lets take our vengeance out on Michael", keeping in mind that these are the ones who were probably abused themselves. Usually, its closer to the truth than you think. The magnificence of MJ was a threat to their own "piddly" non descript lives, but it was a way of getting "their own back", so to speak. Then of course, there are the money-grubbers who are all coming out of the woodwork. "God forbid", the mind boggles. I liked this book though and will be adding it to my MJ collection

Aldi, i just dont get it.
(153 Posts)I've heard so much great stuff about Aldi. So a few months ago decided to give it a try. We usually spend between £60-70 a week in Tesco or asda. Went to Aldi and spent....... £63. No saving at all. Decided to give it another try, after reading so many people on here manage to save so much money. So, went along today, found it v stressful as the till assistant practically threw the stuff at us down the conveyor belt. Finally git to pay and ........ £63 again. What am I doing wrong?
Are you buying their own brand stuff or the things you recognise?
You're on your own aldi is fab
I use Lidl as we have no Aldi near us. Big savings, especially if you go in the evening and get reduced meat (which I freeze).
Same. I went to aldi spent £47 on nothing to make a meal! Just odd bit of cereal, some interesting looking snacks etc
Spent £92 at Waitrose for x2 weeks worth of meals. Mainly organic/ free range.
So £200 a month for nothing really at Aldi v £200 for everything at waitrose
I think its all own brand, isn't it? I really need to save money, help!!!
ArtandCo, if you spent all that on interesting snacks and nothing for a meal, then surely that's not ALDIs fault?
I can do our weekly shop there for two plus three including packed lunch stuff for around £75. I need to go to one of the big four for gluten free stuff for me.
ALDI is limited in that there isn't as much choice as other supermarkets, but they have all the basics (as well as some lovely sweets/snacks/biscuits) and its perfectly possible to shop there exclusively and save money. The secret is in meal planning around what they sell.
Have you tried ocado? Try an online shop and see what you get it at. They price much tesco and have both ocado and Waitrose own. How many people and what's your budget aim?
I think if you always buy supermarket basic ranges prices will be broadly similar in Ali/lidl but imo the quality if what you're getting for the money will be much better in Aldi - comparable with the premium brands in other supermarkets
I think you should meal plan and just buy what you need without looking at the booze section or being sidetracked.
Meatless meals like jacket potato with cheese and coleslaw, pizza, frittata etc
I cut my grocery bills by at leat a third when I started shopping at Lidl/Aldi instead of the big supermarkets.
What sort of things were you buying? Honstly I've never heard of anyone not managing to save money by switching to Aldi
Lack - sure but if I can spend £90 ish for x2 weeks for 4 people, surely Aldi can't be that cheaper?
Or does it depend on what you buy? We mainly buy fresh fruit/ veg/ meat and fish. Very little in any of the other aisles
two adults, two kids. Budget aim is just to cut down a bit, would love to spend about £50 a week instead of £60-70. Don't really want to meal plan, was just hoping to shop somewhere cheaper. Used to shop at sainsburys now Tesco, occasionally asda, but I find their fruit and veg has v short shelf life.
Good. Aldi is getting far too busy for my liking.
last week I put my Tesco receipt through mysupermarket to check other prices. Asda, Aldi and Tesco came out within pennies of each other. Perhaps its just the things we buy. Not much meat, a couple of frozen meals, lunch box stuff, cereal, fruit and beg, pasta, rice etc
I don't know whether it's just the ones local to me but I find Aldi really frustrating. They're always out of stock of basic sort of things and no other brands/alternatives to buy. Recently I've been and they had no frozen peas/lasagne sheets/onions/potatoes!
Do you have a veg box scheme near you? I use on wand that saves loads, plus it's all local veg. To be honest if you are serious about saving you need to meal plan.
Aldi is not much cheaper than buying tesco basics range, the quality is so much better though.
I couldn't feed us for £60 in tesco, well I couldn't feed us well. I buy lots of fruit, veg and basics. I don't buy processed food.
You would Need to list what you bought for us to understand where you went wrong.
I would be amazed if you couldn't save money in aldi, seriously.
DH cooks, no way I can convince him to meal plan. He won't even use a shopping list, hence we currently have 12 tomatoes, two boxes of mushrooms and no bread!
Agree to only way to make big savings,unless you're buying lots of luxuries, is to buy less. With meal planning its astounding how much less you buy
If you already buy supermarket value or own brand stuff you won't notice much difference between Aldi and the other supermarkets in terms of price. Morrisons value beans and Aldi own brand beans etc are the same price. Where you save is if you normally buy brands. I buy value everything but still go to Aldi as well as Morrisons as Aldi things are often nicer than supermarket value. If you can't get a supermarket value or own brand, Aldi will nearly always be cheaper than a brand. There are other savings too; Aldi lentils are 20p cheaper than Morrisons own brand etc.
OP, were you led astray by Aldi's middle aisles?
batch cooking can save you loads.
Home cooking can save you loads over processed.
Switching supermarket.
Meal planning will help but it's not the only way to save money.
No rattitude, nothing from those odd middle isles. I'll dig out the receipt later and check exactly what we got. We usually get Tesco own brand perhaps that's why we are not seeing a difference
ok, this is the list of what we brought today:
milk, flour, greek yogurt (wouldn't usually get his, but it was sooo much cheaper then anywhere else) coleslaw, lasagne sheets, potato wedges, cheese, cliced chicken breast, meat free burgers, eggs, gammon, tortilla crisps, wine, tissues, raisins, meatballs, lasagne sauce, fisherman's pie, baby sweetcorn, wraps, apricots, houmus, tuna, mushrooms, washing up liquid, fromage frias, potatoes, tins of sweetcorn, apples, cauliflower, cannellini beans, pack of salad, pineapple slices, tomaotes, museli, fish fingers, ciabatta, chocolate coins (for xmas stockings), cold relief capsules, fruit juice, pasta, kidney beans, small juice cartons for lunch boxes, soft cheese, kitchen roll, washing liquid, tomato puree, passaa, baked beans, cat food, mushy peas, grapes, carrots, shreddies, bananas, oliveoil, onions, bagles.
i know its not all fresh produce to cook from scratch, but it is the same as we buy elsewhere. the point was to save money on our shopping, not to change the way we shop/cook/eat.
am i a lost cause?

Brilliant Rpg game 4.5/5
more skills/levels for characters would have got it 5/5
Fantastic game, I've been enjoying this for weeks now. Solid gameplay with an unusual difficulty curve: easy at first, then difficult as enemies seem to outstrip your capabilities and your cash never seems to be enough, then finally (mercifully) easier again when you've been pimped out with epic equipment and cash inflation makes buying enhancement potions a joke. Just got "World Renowned" a minute ago, and no plans yet to stop. Thank you for this!
I've been playing it for a while now. There are some things from the previous series I'd like to see in a new version if I could.
First, foremost and most importantly: The Barbarian.
I know many people think the barbarian is just another kind of warrior, but I beg to differ. Although some of the skills are in one of the warrior builds, the Barbarian was a damage maker while the warrior is a protector and leader/tank. There are clearly itens with a Ranger or Cleric atmosphere, but what about the wild, screaming, rage-blinded warrior wielding impossibly large weapons in outbursts of mad violence? I miss them.
The other thing is female characters. I like boobs, boobs are great.
Other than that, one of my favorite games in NG. Keep up, brother.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- According to sources close to the situation, contrary to prior media reports, Apple ( AAPL) is not "in talks" with Time Warner's ( TWX) Home Box Office over licensing the latter's content for some type of pay-television service.
There are no negotiations between Apple and HBO, merely standard conversations about existing relationships (such as HBO GO's authenticated presence on the existing Apple TV set-top box). In these discussions, other things "come up," however the source tells me there is a difference between "talking" and being "in talks" or "negotiations." One high-ranking media executive noted that Apple and other technology companies will have a difficult time getting any cable-like service off the ground and into a large number of consumer's hands thanks, in large part, to the strong existing relationships between content owners and traditional cable and satellite companies. It's also important to note that HBO has a history of keeping its content largely exclusive, refusing, time and time again, to sell it to third parties such as Netflix ( NFLX).

Overcompensation by severance payments
An important aim of severance payments is to reduce the economic disadvantages of dismissed employees. However, it may well be the case that a considerable fraction of employees is actually better off, if they are re-employed shortly after their dismissal. This is the first attempt to estimate the relevance of overcompensation by severance payments. It is found that about 7% of dismissed employees or about one quarter of those with severance payments are overcompensated in Germany. In particular, employees with many years of tenure have chances to receive severance payments as well as wage increases in their new jobs subsequent to dismissal.Document Type: Research Article

The aim of the new paper, recently published in the Journal of Organic Agriculture, is to give an overview of research conducted and required to strengthen organic agriculture in its ambitions to overcome agronomic challenges, contribute to food security and protect our common environment.
2017.01.06 |
Organic agriculture can and should play an important role in solving future challenges in producing food. The low level of external inputs combined with knowledge on sustainability minimizes environmental contamination and can help to produce more food for more people without negatively impacting our environment.
Organic agriculture not only includes farming as a production practice but it also includes processing, trade and consumption. Nevertheless, organic agriculture must always evolve to overcome emerging challenges. Science-based knowledge attained through dedicated research is required to strengthen organic food and farming as a means to solve future challenges.
In 2010, a global discussion about Organic 3.0 was initiated to address current problems our agri-food systems are facing. Many scientifically and practically proven results are already available to make organic agriculture a strong tool to solve some of these challenges. However, the organic agri-food system has to be developed further to fulfill its potential.
The contribution of organic agriculture to help solve current problems linked to food security and environmental quality was discussed during the International Society of Organic Agricultural Research (ISOFAR) Symposium "Organic 3.0 is Innovation with Research", held September 20–22, 2015, in conjunction with the first ISOFAR International Organic Expo, in Goesan County, Republic of Korea. Some of the world's most active scientists in organic agriculture attended the symposium. 36 scientists from 21 countries have written this paper and among the contributors is Ilse A. Jacobsen from ICROFS.

There are punch out tools as well, but I thought I'd use them a bit just poking out the cut outs that stick. It's a sort of meditative thing with a productive bonus. At least for now.
I've had a bug for about a month now, that is getting boring, but (knock wood) finally seems to be be passing slowly. Head over to Julia's Stamping Ground for peeks at more crafty spaces.
