FindMyPast has added to their Docklands Church Records collection with baptisms for St Dunstan, Stepney 1689-1697, George In the East, Stepney 1893-1901 and St Andrews, Bethnal Green 1843-1876. This will please those folk with family history in this area of London. Genealogy can be quite a task when confronted with a large number of parishes in which your ancestors may have baptised their children, got married or buried their dead.
What is the Docklands Church Records Collection?
The records for the Docklands area of London were compiled by the late James Legon and are now under the care of his brother Jonathan and James' wife Yvonne. James was an expert on this area of London and also on the Waterman & Lightermen who plied their trade on the river Thames. In 2008 the Legon's began a partnership with FindMyPast which has allowed these valuable records to become available online. The project is to transcribe all the Church of England parish registers in the Dockland's area, work is still in progress.
What area is covered by Docklands?
In large cities such as London it is vital that the family historian knows the area in which their ancestors lived and the parishes that comprised that area. Movement from one abode to another was a regular occurrence for the London working class so they may well have been married in one parish, had children baptised in a variety of other parishes and been buried in yet another.
Docklands includes much of the East End of London including Stepney, Whitechapel, Poplar, Wapping, Shadwell, Spitalfields, Ratcliff, Limehouse and the Isle of Dogs. Rotherhithe, Newington and Bermondsey on the opposite side of the Thames are included as are parts of Essex. There is a list of the parishes currently in the collection on the FindMyPast website in the Knowledge Base section.
What can be found in the Dockland Church Records Collection?
The records cover the period 1608 – 1933, but this does vary parish by parish. The collection comprises baptisms, marriages and burials. The transcripts are a full copy of all the information in the register, so details may be found which would not be discovered else where.
The parishes in this collection mainly comprised working class people, mostly associated with the docks or in industries allied to the docks. The area was a cosmopolitan mix of people so some unusual names may be discovered in the registers.
Where can the Docklands Church Records be Found?
There are two places where these records can be found. The first is www.parishregister.com run by the Logon family where the records may be purchased on CD or they can be searched for a "Pay As You Go" fee. There are also books and maps available for purchase.
The second place to find the records are on www.findmypast.co.uk where the records are available as part of their subscription offerings. If you have a number of families living in the area then the FindMyPast site will probably be the most economical option.
These records are a wonderful resource for those with ancestors from this area. Without the work that has gone into compiling the transcripts it would be a long task tracking down ancestors who moved from one parish to another.

Monadnock Food Co-op recognized for building community
By MEGHAN PIERCE
Union Leader Correspondent | July 25. 2013 10:51PM
Monadnock Food Co-op member owner Nancy McNeal of Stoddard shops in the market after enjoying lunch in the co-op cafe. (MEGHAN PIERCE/Union Leader Correspondent)
The young food co-op was given the National Start-up of the Year award from the Food Co-op Initiative.
With it, the Food Co-op Initiative hopes to recognize, among other things, excellence in leadership and strength of community support.
Today member ownership is up to 1,700, Risley said.
Risley and Co-op General Manager Michael Faber said they are excited and proud to receive the award.
Food co-ops originated in the depths of the Great Depression, then experienced a resurgence in the 1970s and '80s when consumers wanted access to more organic foods.
The Keene-based market not only sells locally grown organic fruits and vegetables, but cheese, milk, yogurt, eggs and meat.
"People were really wishing to see a place where they could buy all those products in one place and support this food movement of more food items being produced in our backyards and neighborhoods and community, and having it done in a way that is sustainable," he said.
The project started in 2008 and drew support from individuals, city officials as well as local and national groups, he said.
In general, food co-ops start in church basements and might take decades to grow to the size the Monadnock Food Co-op, which opened this spring, Faber said.
This Saturday from noon to 3 p.m. the food co-op is taking the opportunity to give back by holding an ice cream social fundraiser for the Monadnock Farm and Community Coalition, a group that supported the food co-op project.

Choosing a venue is one of the most important wedding planning decisions you'll make as a couple. But, too often a bride will fall in love with the beauty of a place, sign the contract and forget that it should be custom-suited just like her dress. Regardless of your guest list and budget, answering these questions before you book is a great place to start your search. Although it may be hard to find the perfect place that fits all your needs, you should look for a venue that suits your style from the beginning and not a venue that will cost thousands of dollars to make it what you want.
Everyone's style is different, but we want to know what your venue's style is. Which type of venue did you choose? Let us know in the poll below.

Hey all, I'm looking to teach overseas in a year and a half when I graduate college. I'll have my BA in Exercise Science. I became interested in this some time ago and will finally be graduating to do it. I actually want to help coach youth basketball in China as well as teach, but the only place I can find anything about this is the Chinese Culture Center. I'm a little put off after reading the back-and-forth comments on here about the CCC, but they specifically ask for basketball trainers on top of the English teaching.
I read someone on here say that "it is easy" to find jobs teaching in China, but I don't know where to start. Obviously I'd rather do it on my own if possible, but where should I start? Do I just get a passport, apply for a VISA, and search for jobs online? Or is GoldenDoorway a legit place? Those are the only two places I've heard of. Sorry if this is asked a lot, but I'm just a little confused at the best place to start. Again, I'd prefer to coach basketball and understand that this is desired in China, but I also want to teach English if possible. I would also just teach English of basketball is out of the question. Does anyone have some advice?
Thanks in advance guys!

New beek here in Ontario ... 4 hives ... fed heavy in the fall ... went into winter with one weaker hive. Though it was gone a few weeks back, not a sound from it where as the other three were quite noisy. Have been doing the Mountain Camp feeding to that one, tomorrow our temp goes to 10 celius and will be placing some fondant cakes on all the hives. We just went through one of the coldest weeks on record here, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
I'm down 5 of 41 hives so far. Condensation issues are biting me in the butt,
"I would be tempted to have a second home there....truly beautiful country! Of course, I'm sure in the middle of winter, I may feel differently! grin" From Louisiana to sub-zero North Country???? I guarantee you would be feeling differently come winter. Snow and cold can grow old real quick. We had a high of -6 today and are looking at minus 12 tonight.Losses in my yard are looking like they are going to be fairly heavy this winter. As always, time will tell.Joel
MootsGlad to hear you enjoyed Yellowstone/Montana on your vacation. Next time head over to western Montana where I live (no reason to visit Great Falls where Vance lives) and visit Flathead Lake and Glacier Nat'l Park. Glacier Nat'l park is even more impressive than Yellowstone! Here in SW MT, we have had only 2-3 nights below 0 so far this winter and it was 45 today. Finding a paying job in MT can be difficult so work on that second home option!
Moots/Vance/Badger,My wife and I will be going to Yellowstone the first week of July. We have reserved a house in the middle of the forest near Wilson. We had planned on going there last year but the company I work for was prepping for a strike and if it did happen all vacations would have been cancelled. I have been wanting to go there for a long time, it's on my bucket list. :-DJim

The longtime political battle over who should control education in Utah seems poised to continue during the upcoming legislative session with several proposals that seek to once again shake up who holds power over Utah schools.
Sen. Stuart Reid, R-Ogden, is running measures to give lawmakers and the governor more say over the employment of Utah's top school official and to change the way the state school board is elected. At least one of those proposals, SJR5, may draw heated opposition.
Reid's proposal, SJR5, would amend the state's Constitution to require the governor's approval and the Senate's consent for the appointment of state superintendents. It also would give the governor the power to fire the state superintendent, after consulting with the state school board. Now, the state school board alone is in charge of hiring and firing the state superintendent. If lawmakers pass the resolution this session, a majority of Utah voters would then have to approve it in 2014 to change the Constitution.
Reid said the resolution could allow the governor some control over public education, just as he now has say over the leaders of higher education. The governor and Senate must also approve of the commissioner of higher education's hiring.
"I think it's really important for every part of our education system to be working together," Reid said. "This ties him into the whole education system in a way that he becomes accountable to the public for the success of education."
Ally Isom, a spokeswoman for Gov. Gary Herbert, said the governor supports the resolution.
Rep. Greg Hughes, R-Draper, also called Reid's proposal positive, saying it makes sense to tie the state's education administration to the legislative and executive branches, which set the state's education budget.
Hughes was one of four lawmakers who last year issued a statement criticizing the process by which the current state superintendent was selected by the state school board, arguing that the board rushed the process, leading to fewer applicants and giving newly elected members no say.
Reid, however, said his resolution wasn't spurred by those criticisms but rather is something he's been planning to run for quite some time.
Not everyone, however, is eager to give lawmakers and the governor more power over education leaders.
Debra Roberts, state school board chairwoman, said the board hasn't taken a position on the proposal yet, but she personally believes the change wouldn't boost education.
"I don't see that this improves instruction," Roberts said. "I don't see how this helps out education in any way. It seems like a peripheral issue instead of looking at the things that are really helping students."
Rep. Carol Spackman Moss, D-Holladay, also criticized the measure, saying she worries state superintendents might be selected or fired for partisan reasons. Plus, she said, the state school board is fully capable of making the decision of who should be superintendent.
"It looks to me that they're trying to take the state board right out of this decision … State school board members are duly elected by the public, and I think they should be the ones to oversee that hiring and firing," Moss said.
Moss also isn't thrilled about Reid's other proposal, a bill that would run in conjunction with the resolution, to change the way the state school board is elected.
Under the current system, a governor-appointed committee chooses three candidates for each seat to forward to the governor, who then chooses two to appear on the ballot. It's a process that's drawn criticism for years, with incumbents sometimes being booted from the race by the committee, which critics say takes choice away from the public.
Reid's bill would replace that one committee with local committees charged with selecting candidates in their areas to forward to the governor for consideration. It will also include language related to SJR5 and will only be allowed to pass if the resolution does, Reid said.
The bill, Reid said, is meant as a compromise. Though many have wanted to change the process for years, disagreements over whether to keep it nonpartisan or make it partisan have stymied past proposals. Reid's bill would keep the process nonpartisan but mean more local involvement in the process, he said.
Reid said he's running the bill at the request of the Governor's Office. When asked to confirm that, Isom said: "We are working with Senator Reid and will continue to work through the specifics of the bill. We're exploring ways to improve the process."
Moss, who's running a bill, HB267, to make the elections direct and nonpartisan, said Reid's proposal sounds like "a very slight improvement." She said Reid's idea doesn't solve the problem of taking the decision out of voters' hands.
Roberts, however, said the state school board would support such a change to the election process. The board voted in the fall to back the idea of allowing local committees to vet state school board candidates for the governor. She said given the perpetual disagreement over whether the process should be partisan or nonpartisan, the board felt such a compromise had the best chance of actually passing the Legislature.
She said the proposal would at least bring the board election process closer to local control.

Hey guys.
I have a pair of Ruffkintoy Gauntlets. I put them on with my jumpsuit this afternoon, you know trying on all of my stuff, and I was not even able to get them shut over the jumpsuit. :cry
So my question is who makes the largest gauntlets? I have really big forearms and I am not able to fit into a pair of ruffkintoy guants when I am wearing my jumpsuit.
I am going to put the ESB Ruffkintoy guants up for sale probably in the next day, but I wanted to see how makes the largest gauntlets. I am also looking to purchase a pair of gauntlets that would fit someone with really big forearms, like myself. Any help would be really appreciated.

Well, I extracted my honey today and it looks like the onofficial results are in at 196 lbs for the two Leominster hives.
I am a first year beekeeper with one hive. Based on my readings, And I've left 3 deep frame hives on with est. 65 lbs of honey for winter feed. Here's general question for someone: I estimate 50,000 bees in hive curretnly. Should they winter in 3 deeps (minimal honey in top deep) or 2 deeps to help retain warmth? I figured I could put top box feeder on top of 2 deeps instead of fussing with three deeps. Anyone have experience or thoughts here?thanksBigskybee
196 lbs. for two hives, not too shabby.I agree with you on never taking honey from the brood chamber. The bees worked hard for their winter stores and I certainly don't need their honey as bad as they will come early spring. .

The draw for the Champions League Group Stage takes place on Thursday in Monaco from 4.45pm (UK time).
Arsenal advanced to this stage for the 14th consecutive year after completing a 3-1 aggregate victory over Udinese on Wednesday night.
Arsène Wenger's side are one of the eight seeded clubs in Pot One. Stay close to Arsenal.com for news of their Group Stage opponents plus fixture dates and ticket information.
How the draw works
The 32 clubs who feature in the draw are split into four pots of eight based on their UEFA coefficient scores. These are based on performance in European competitions over the last five years.
A total of eight groups of four teams will be drawn with one side from each seeding pot in each group. No side can be drawn against another from the same pot, nor can they play a team from their home country.
Where two sides from the same country have qualified, they will be paired to split their matches between Tuesday and Wednesday, so one club will always play at home on one day and the other will play away on the other day. In the case of countries with three representatives, only two teams have been paired in terms of their fixtures; in the case of countries with four representatives, two pairings have been made.
To ensure sides from the same country play on separate days, the eight groups will be distinguished by colour: Groups A-D will be red and Groups E-H blue. When a paired club is drawn, for example, into one of the red groups, the other paired club - once it has been drawn - will automatically be assigned to one of the four blue groups.
The order of home and away matches will be determined after the draw has taken place.
Pot One:
Manchester United
Bayern Munich
Real Madrid
FC Porto
Pot Two:
AC Milan
Shakhtar Donetsk
CSKA Moscow
Pot Three:
Zenit St. Petersburg
Bayer Leverkusen
Manchester City
FC Basel
BATE Borisov
Pot Four:
Borussia Dortmund
Dinamo Zagreb
Apoel FC

Well, tough loss because like I said in chat, the only way we can be beat is either by the Celtics or Michael Curry. It's amazing to watch this guy drag the team down to his level, and then wrestle it off the canvas. You have to wonder at what point the players overtly give up on him.

I'm guessing that was said sometime in the last week. It sounds like Tayshaun. Maybe Dice.
VERY WINNABLE GAME!!! Why the hell does he put both Dyess and Sheed in.
PODSHOW starting soon. Lots of venting, I promise. http://www.pistonsforum.com/view-podshow.html
The third quarter was great playing with speed. So what do they do to start the fourth? Have Prince bring up the ball slowly, back to defender. Way to set the tone!!!
sAUNDERS WAS FIRED BCUZ dUMARS LETS THE INMATES run the asylum. Shed Wallacewoman is uncoachable at this point Tay is discouraged bcuz he saw what GOOD coaching is like at the Olympics Rip is suffering from bump and bruisitis and will never be that 8-10 FTA game he used to be Stuckey is going thru the Rookie blahs bcuz we trded the oNE guy who could have taught him the game Iverson...is well...WHAT WE THOUGHT HE WAS!:icon_evil:
No time to read anyone else's comments. Here is what I saw. Curry coached a great game thru 3 quarters. Then he took a dump on National TV. What got us to where we were after 3 quarters? Energy. Afflalo got his turn to add some energy in the 2nd quarter. Maxiell got a chance to add his energy by playing in the 2nd quarter. But to start the 4th? He leaves Afflalo and JMAX out of the game, two of our better defenders. At the end of the game, we had three players with hardly any rest in the 2nd half. Sheed, 3 minutes. Tay. No rest. AI, 3 mintues. How much energy do you suppose we had at the end of the game. Worst player out there today was Dyess, who apparently must have gotten a big fat check from Cleveland to shoot his outside jumpers, which is a pansy, losing game from him. Note, Sheed and Dyess together = no power forward in the game, and zero respect from Cleveland. Curry way overplayed this by going to it with 9 minutes left in the game. Amir had probably his best quarter of the year in the 3rd quarter, lots of rebounds and points scored. Nice to see his teammates passing him the ball. Even Tay got the ball to him on a fast break. Sheed just loves those 3's. To the point of embarrassment. But I suppose he was feeling a lot of pressure to score since Curry forget about this little old concept called defense for the 4th quarter. (Or why else leave out two of your best defenders to start the 4th. Maybe he was listening to the utterly clueless VanGundy?) AI had some great scoring runs. Great to see. Stuckey did little, nothing in the first half on scoring - but did have 8 assists I believe - maybe just his first half total? He got injured toward the start of the 4th quarter. Afflalo just gave us some D, and allowed Tay to rest the whole 2nd quarter. With Rip just then playing 6 minutes at small forward, it was not so bad as far as small ball goes. Too bad Curry can't even see what he did right in the first half. All he had to do is repeat most of it in the 2nd half. Heck, even a semblance of it. Tay had a decent game in all. Scored enough. Kept James to an outside shooter. But hey, James, and several other Cavs showed some shooting talent in this one. Like Big Z for instance far outdoing Sheed on outside shots. Sheed should know not to go against someone else's strenth. He should have been working inside. Verajou (sp) took an elbow from Dyess and sat most of the 1st half, played the 2nd. Rip gave us a scoring boost to start the 2nd quarter. Still have mixed feelings about so many jumpshots though. In, all, a great game thru 3 quarters, but then a total and complete, embarrassing whooping on National TV in the 4th quarter. I will not blame any of that on the players. Not one bit. Curry does not understand what wins. Its like Dumars told him who to play - but as soon as Curry thinks he has his orders fullfilled - he reverts to the worst coach in the world. The one and only thing I believe Curry is doing right this year is playing the young guys. He obeyed his mandate thru 3 quarters, then rebelled, and lost badly. Just maybe, though I doubt it, Curry will learn. Someday. Do what Dumars wants - even in the 4th qaurter. Strike that. Especially in the 4th quarter. The young guys have to learn how to play in crunch time too.

That quote by Rasheed in your signature is the absolute truth now.... it IS the end.
If Rodney were 6'9", he'd be sitting on the bench for a long time. Just ask Kwame and Amir. I know that Tayshaun is the glue, but that's exactly why the glue shouldn't be the point guard. It's really hard to get the ball out of his hands early in the shot clock. Maybe if Antonio took a couple of steps in, the shot would fall? Maybe? Probably not. Now, for a philosophical moment with Star Today's words of wisdom come from the late, great Billy Preston. Detroit has a team, ain't got no coach. But, I really do believe that he loves that song, because the Pistons are going round in circles. From moments of brilliance to mindnumbing idiocy. How does he manage to lose this game? With or without LeBron on the bench, they were playing them shot for shot...up until the fourth. I don't know if Michael doesn't trust himself or whether he doesn't trust the players, but either way, it's all on Michael and he is killing this team. Rodney has to take a seat on the bench. It's okay to say that it was too much, too soon. He's a second year player, you won't kill him. If anything, he may slow down and refocus, as it is clear that he's lost it. Has he not realized that for the past few games, it's been Allen and Richard in the back court ANYWAY? That's when they have been on. That's when the shots have fallen. That's when the pretend offense didn't look so unbelievably fake. Michael Curry stinks.
ALL that is well and good Lee , but this was more about THE CAVs (and the CELTS) than about us. Cavs did what we used to do to folks ! Just toyed with us until SHOWtime!!!! the cavs were gonna win...plain and simple. This team is toast.
Join the podcast NOW!
Late turnovers, missing shots along with some free throws, and not playing with the same intensity as the fourth started caused this game to go down the drain. That's all I could see. I like the first half and parts of the 3rd.
Another loss you can blame on both players and the coach. The players failed to take advantage of the Cavs 1-9 shooting to open the game so instead of being up 15-2 with 3:32 left in the 1st, they were down 12-8 themselves with four turnovers and two questionable plays by Amir where he wasn't ready for a key pass from AI to the left of the hoop and then on the next offensive play he grabbed a board and instead of going right back up, he passed it out. I think we eventually scored on that sequence, but it was plays like that kept the Cavs in the game. Amir did redeem himself in the 3rd helping AI get the Pistons to an 8 point lead, but we never saw AJ on the floor again..I guess must have got locked in the john again like he did on Friday To give up a 15-2 run with James on the bench is just unacceptable in my book and apparently Dumars too as Hog said he got up from his seat and left about the same time the Pistons seem to quit with about 2 mins left in the game. With a little over 4 mins left, Prince hit a short jumper to make the score 77-76 and the Cavs proceeded to make uncontested layups and jumpers after that closing the game on 13-4 run while Dumars and the fans filing out booing...yes I said it Dumars was booing....or was he boohooing about his coaching hire>??
I tivo'ed, superbowl stuff all day, stupid bf, football sucks. I think i'll skip it. Looks like we had the same player 1-5 must play in the 4th quarter. Dice/Sheed were probably our end game line-up again. Nice to see Amir can bring it against the Cavs. Of course he probably never saw the floor again. In case Curry reads this forum PRINCE CANNOT PLAY THE POINT FORWARD. STOP IT. Oh and also DICE IS OLD. SHEED IS OLD. STOP PLAYING THEM TOGETHER.

Bowfishing Overview
Late spring and all summer are the best times for bowfishing. As spring waters warm, "rough fish," such as carp, gar, buffalo, burbot, pike, and suckers, begin to move into the shallows of lakes and river backwaters to spawn. Check your state or provincial regulations for shooting hours, equipment restrictions, license requirements, and legal game.
Special Challenge
The primary challenge of hunting fish underwater is compensating for a phenomenon called refraction. Light rays bend as they enter water, making fish appear to be where they aren't. You must aim lower than a normal sight picture to hit your quarry. Practicing on underwater targets will help you find the correct aiming point.

I'm replacing a leaking oil pan gasket on my car. I'm done, but for two bolts that I simply can't get back on. They are crammed in next to the bell housing on the tranny, which offsets my socket wrench by about five or ten degrees. This is a real drag. Anybody have a recommendation? Different tool? I've tried the socket adapter that looks like a U joint, but that hasn't helped. I cut a length of plastic hose, jammed the bolt into it to drive it in, and still no luck. There is an offset adapter that looks like some sort of a spring, which allows it to flex. I'll try that next. I may have to resort to a mechanic, if I can't do this myself. I like to fix things myself. See below.
Have any of you read a book titled: "Shop Class as Soul Craft"? It basically discusses how we just throw stuff away instead of trying to fix it; how we've looked down upon blue collar work, and have gotten rid of most shop classes in US high schools. Some of us need to work with our hands. The author, whose name escapes me, is a vintage motorbike mechanic out of Virginia.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev Charged in Boston Marathon Attack
Prosecutors Describe Suspect's 'Calm' Behavior; Charges Could Carry Death Penalty
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev coolly dropped off a homemade bomb in the crowd at the Boston Marathon and then walked away amid the confusion as another explosive set by his brother detonated nearby, federal authorities alleged Monday in charging the teen with a terrorist act that could carry the death penalty.
In a criminal complaint unsealed in Boston federal court, prosecutors alleged that Mr. Tsarnaev, a 19-year-old college sophomore, detonated a weapon of mass destruction—a homemade bomb—in an attack that killed three and injured more than 200 on April 15. The complaint offered new details on the young man's alleged actions during the bombing, as well as the chaotic chase days later that ended in a shootout and the death of his 26-year-old older brother, Tamerlan.
The younger brother has been communicating with Federal Bureau of Investigation interrogators, according to a law-enforcement official, although the value of his written answers to questions wasn't immediately clear. Mr. Tsarnaev can't speak due to a gunshot wound to his throat which may have been self-inflicted, officials said.
Court Documents
Read the full criminal complaint against Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, a suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings.
Mr. Tsarnaev's brief legal proceeding was held Monday with a federal judge at the hospital because the suspect's injuries are so severe. He had also suffered gunshot wounds to the head, legs and hand when captured Friday night, according to an affidavit from FBI special agent Daniel Genck.
Justice Department spokesman Dean Boyd said the government "will always seek to elicit all the actionable intelligence and information we can from terrorist suspects taken into our custody."
Authorities said Monday that nothing they have learned so far leads them to believe there are more bombs in the Boston area, or other would-be plotters.
The video and photos provided by federal prosecutors showed the two brothers carrying backpacks as they walk onto Boylston Street, the scene of the bombings, about 11 minutes before the first blast occurred at 2:49 p.m., the affidavit said.
At about 2:42 p.m., Tamerlan Tsarnaev, accused of planting the bomb that caused the first blast nearest the finish line, left his brother and was seen carrying the backpack that investigators believe contained the first bomb, according to the affidavit.
Three minutes later, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev walked toward the Forum restaurant and left a backpack on the ground, according to video surveillance cited in the affidavit. About 30 seconds before the first bomb exploded, video footage shows him looking at his cellphone and then lifting the phone to his ear as if to speak, the FBI affidavit said.
A few seconds after his apparent call, the first explosion a block away drew the crowd's attention, but Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, "virtually alone among the individuals in front of the restaurant, appears calm," the affidavit said.
He glanced toward the blast and then walked in the other direction rapidly but calmly, it said. Ten seconds later, the second blast occurred, and evidence shows the backpack Mr. Tsarnaev left behind in front of the Forum restaurant is the only thing that could have caused the second blast, according to the affidavit.
On Thursday night, the two brothers stole a car at gunpoint from a man in Cambridge, Mass., authorities said. The brothers told the victim "that they were the Boston Marathon bombers and wouldn't kill him because he wasn't American," according to a report by the Cambridge Police Department. The victim was described as an Asian-American male.
The FBI affidavit said that during the carjacking one of the brothers—the papers didn't specify which one—pointed a gun at the victim and said: "Did you hear about the Boston explosion?" He then added: "I did that…I am serious."
The man eventually escaped from the brothers, after letting them use his bank card to withdraw money from an automated teller machine, authorities said.
The victim, who hasn't been identified, told police that he heard the men mention "Manhattan'' while he was their captive, according to law-enforcement officials. The officials cautioned that they don't know yet whether the suspects were discussing New York, in large part because the two suspects were speaking Russian for much of the conversation and it is possible their victim misunderstood.
According to Britney Smith, a friend of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the young man visited New York City about eight months ago, and had fun hanging out with friends. During the manhunt for the brothers, Ms. Smith said FBI agents visited her mother's home on Long Island, out of concern the younger brother might try to visit her there.
Soon after the brothers' alleged carjacking, police began chasing them, culminating in a shootout in which the elder brother was killed. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev managed to escape, but he was badly injured and captured late Friday hiding in a boat being stored in a yard.
Federal investigators said that they suspect the two brothers may have been planning to launch another attack when they were chased by police, and that they had about a half-dozen additional explosive devices with them.
The indictment doesn't include some of the state-level offenses in which Mr. Tsarnaev is a suspect, including the murder of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer and the wounding of another officer during a shootout. A spokeswoman for the Middlesex County District Attorney, which would handle those cases, said Monday that charges are expected soon.
The bombs used during the Boston Marathon, the federal affidavit said, were "low-grade explosives that were housed in pressure cookers" and packed with BBs, nails and green-colored hobby fuse.
After the shootout, police found homemade bombs that appeared to be of the same design and materials as the ones used in the attack at the marathon, the FBI said. At least one was a pressure cooker that contained BBs and nails, the affidavit said.
When agents searched his room at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, they found, among other things, "a large pyrotechnic, a black jacket and a white hat of the same general appearance as those worn" by the bomber identified as Dzhokhar Tsarnaev at the Boston Marathon, according to the court papers.

UK Border Agency set to be quizzed by committee
January 13, 2011 by localnews · Leave a Comment
The Scottish Affairs Committee at Westminster has called the UK Border Agency (UKBA) and Glasgow City Council to account over the threatened removal of 1300 asylum seekers from their Glasgow homes with only a couple of days' notice.
On Wednesday 19 January the Committee will hear evidence from both the UK Borders Agency and Glasgow City Council.
Damian Green, Minister of State for Immigration at the Home Office will be the first witness. Followed by Phil Taylor, Regional Director for the Scotland and Northern Ireland Region (Immigration Group) of the Home Office. Matthew Coats, Head of Immigration at UKBA will also face the Committee.
When Committee Chair Ian Davidson of Glasgow South West, met with the UK Borders Agency in Glasgow in November when the situation arose, he said: 'We are very concerned about the impact of the UK Border Agency's decision to terminate its contract with Glasgow City Council. In particular, we find the manner in which UKBA communicated its decision to the individuals and families involved – via a letter threatening only a very short notice period for people to leave their homes – extremely troubling. The aim of our inquiry is not only to establish the facts around this case but also to ensure everything possible is done so that families do not have to endure such a distressing situation again.'
Following months of negotiations, the UKBA abruptly terminated its 10-year-contract with Glasgow City Council to provide accommodation for asylum seekers.
Soon after that, Glasgow Central MP Anas Sarwar brokered a meeting in Glasgow of all the agencies concerned, including the housing providers, the Scottish Refugee Council and social work back-up staff.
Scotland Office Minister, David Mundell, attended the round table discussion in the City Chambers to hear, first-hand, the distress caused by the UK Borders Agency when it cancelled the housing contract.
Said MP Anas Sarwar: 'We need UKBA to come up with a realistic timetable for a transfer of people and staff, that will not involve any more upheaval for 1,311 people who have suffered enough. It's vital this timetable is communicated effectively to all concerned.
'I'm pleased that David Mundell has agreed to take these objectives back to immigration Minister Damian Green.'
Mr Mundell told the LOCAL NEWS: 'These difficulties are no reflection on the quality of service Glasgow City Council has provided nor of the welcome that has been extended. That has been outstanding.'
Glasgow City Councillor Matt Kerr, Executive Member for Social Care, said: 'It was a constructive meeting. I'm pleased that UKBA acknowledged that the 2 February transfer deadline will not now be met. As a city council we're obviously hugely disappointed that this contract has been terminated by UKBA despite the fact that we came back with a reduced offer when the initial offer was rejected as too costly. However, we have a duty of care to asylum seekers and to staff and we will continue to support them through this transition process, however long it takes.'

That's like asking what's the best pizza under $5.00
If you're TRULY only want to buy once, buy something just $300-$500 more than you're current budget.
Now that being said, there really isn't a "best" some are better than others, but "best" is entirely subjective.
For around $1K (you'll have to do some shopping around), I'd take a look at a stainless steel Springfield Loaded, Kimber Custom II TLE, and Colt XSE line.
If you can go up to around $1500, start looking for Springfield TRPs, Dan Wesson Valors, some offerings from Les Baer and your nicer Kimbers. I generally don't recommend Kimber, but it's your money buy what you want.
If you want to be a couple hundred under $1k, get a Ruger SR1911.

Recently after living in Leeds for some time i came across a new little bar called Distrikt near the Call Lane area of Leeds. Amazing Tapas menu, not your usual dishes, very interestingly put together and a great assortment of drinks and cocktails. The music was wicked, looking at the flyer listings it looks like the place to be at the weekends. I've been about 5 or 6 times now and the service is always great and the there is always a sound crowd in there with no pretentiousness whatsoever. Definitely worth a visit, i'm sure you will return whether it is to eat or to party.
It was 4pm, and I was in Leeds, shopping. Well - actually I was opining the loss of yet another Saturday afternoon to the grasping tills of consumer materialism.
Whilst standing outside yet another department store, holding a selection of bags in both arms, and sighing in exasperation as my better half caught sight of yet another item of clothing (similar to all the ones in the bags I carried), and announced that we simply had to spend a few minutes in there 'just to have a look', I made an executive decision. Not one to be taken lightly of course, but nevertheless, the build up of tension and the erosion of my spirit had reached critical levels, and the ensuing thought came in a silent plea.
Beer. I need Beer.
Looking up Briggate from the corner of the Headrow I spied a sign. 'North Bar'. Having assayed the lack of banners proclaiming 'Drinkers Delight' and other such markers of a 'local' pub, I walked up to the door, not 30 yards from my previous hovering zone outside Primani. (I find calling Primark this helps to make me feel I'm fashionable yet cheap - definite signs of middle age).
Pressing my nose to the glass and rubbing the frost from the windows (It does snow up North in November), I saw a narrow bar and a small seating area - a converted terrace-cum-pub. The décor looked modern but not trendy, the staff weren't wearing the uniforms of the Chain Pub, and then I saw it - a non-standard glass in the hand of a chunky sweatered toting patron. Aha!
I should explain at this juncture - having been to Belgium, lived in Germany, and also a frequent attendee at CAMRA festivals - I am a bit of an ale connoisseur (self-professed of course). Not freezing cold gassy fare like Chavbrew (Carling) or Wifebeater (Stella), but proper ales brewed with the drinker in mind, and not the bank balance.
The glass in question was one of the countless Belgian Glasses that accompany a specific beer - designed by the brewer to enhance the serving and taste, but also just to look different. Any pub with at least one of these ales would be surely worthy of my patronage. The sight thereafter of a table being served what looked suspiciously like enormous pies drowned in gravy, merely reinforced the notion that it was my right, nay my duty!, to sally forth and keep the good bar afloat against the hordes of Chain Pub.
Obviously, tact was required. I repaired to my hovering zone to await the return of my better half.
Some (considerable) time later......
Having been given a 1 hour pass and custody of all the shopping bags, I entered the North Bar and found an empty table. On the wall beside me was a massive wooden board, with lists of all the beers served, in neat 4 inch fonts. After salivating at some of the names - plenty known to me, but many more new and exciting - I plucked quite aptly for the standard house ale - Yankee's Rooster. A delicious pint that I had already tasted before in its native Knaresborough.
Settling down in my chair, Cricket section of the Guardian (even in November!) spread out before me, I relaxed my shoulders and let the gentle hum of the background music - inoffensively mild rock of an unknown provenance - wash away my strains and bag carrying induced aches.
The pub has roughly a dozen tables and benches, seating maybe 50, with standing room at the bar, and at various points. A smallish bar lurks halfway down its length, with gleaming and wildly different pump signs enticing in their outlandish design and font. An unashamed Drinker's Pub, North Bar offers little in the way of extraneous facilities or trendy offerings: no Fruit Machines here, nor will you find any WKD or other vile alcopop-kin.
I considered the proud and glorious wall mounted list further, whilst quietly revelling in the sophisticated yet relaxed air of the surroundings. Nothing brewed on license, and all imported direct from brewery of origin. Over a 100 usually on offer, and split helpfully into the following sections on the board: (a few of each included)
Beers on Tap: Dortmunder Union, Jupiler, Lindeboom.
Bottle Beers: La Chouffe, Chimay (Red, Blue and White!), Orval, Quintine Blonde.
England: Sam Smith's Oatmeal Stout, Harvest Ale 2001.
Germany: Fruh Kolsch, Schofferhoffer.
Holland: La Trappe Dubbel & Tripel.
Mexico: Dos Equis Obscura, Bohemia.
USA: Anhor Liberty Ale, Goose Island IPA.
Rest of World: Tusker (Kenya), Quilmes (Argentina), Lion Stout (Sri Lanka).
Other drinks - they generally stock dozens of spirits of an exotic and different nature, aiming, as with the beer to steer away from the stock brands. All spirits are served in the continental 35ml amounts, a change from some pubs that sneak 25ml into a glass before drowning it in coke.
Food: decidedly home style and in keeping with the attitude of the bar. Pie is the main item - indeed the only hot item available - made locally, but what a choice of fillings: Angus Steak, Spinach & Feta, Beetroot with Horseradish and Wensleydale, Balsamic Beef & Potato with Caramelised Onions.
Ok - they sound a bit poncy - but they appear steaming hot and plated up with mushy peas from the cellar, and they certainly had my tastebuds tingling (Except for the peas....bleurgh).
Other things of note: I took it upon myself to read the noticeboard, whilst waiting for my second ale to be magicked into my hand. Every 6 weeks, a different Artist has their work displayed on one wall of the bar. It appears to be mostly graphic design, comic drawings and other such lowbrow fare - which is fine. If I wanted to see a copy of a Monet or a Raphael, I'd ponce around an Art Gallery muttering about the subtlety of the implied shading and the quality of the light.
Festivals: Beer ones I mean. Oktoberfest, Belgium Beer, Summer Ale - these and more take place at North Bar annually - a chance for them to rotate the beer menu towards the festival of the time, and encourage merriment and a wider appreciation of regional and international ales.
Music: bands sometimes play the bar too - although the allocated area is room enough only for two chaps on stools and a small amp - so I'd imagine there are happenings of Acousto-Rock and crimes against Folk mostly.
After the alarm in my head went off to signify the end of my allotted free time, and I felt the burning imprint of the Thumb appear on my forehead - I found myself outside the bar, reflecting on an enjoyable time while away, and the serendipitous happenstance of such a quality establishment located right on the edge of the desperately trendy and needlessly busy central shopping area of Leeds.
Having decided to return once more, some other time for another sample of fine ales - this time spreading the gospel by bringing a few of my fellow learned ale devotees, I entered back into the business of my waning Saturday afternoon, glad at least of a thoroughly enjoyable respite.
I should add a final note, in case of research. North is actually part of a chain of 4. The others: Further North (Chapel Allerton), The Reliance (North St, 5 mins walk from North Bar), and The Cross Keys (near the Railway Station). Given, however, their total lack of homogeneity, I feel safe in not referring to them as a Chain in the usual sense (Wetherspoons and their ilk).
Only a few minutes walk from the railway station, the Birdcage entrance hall looks out onto the bus stops outside Bhs on Boar Lane. Don't let that put you off though, immediately you descend a flight of steps into the basement of the shopping centre that houses the bar/club. A stylish interior, well illuminated steps with a fantastic water feature at the bottom - a wall of water continuously pumped into an indoor pond containing about 15 koi. There are two bars, plenty of space to sit down and a dance floor as well as cigarette machines and fruit machines. The toilets are again stylish and well maintained with a window through to the pond on the approach. The main attraction of the venue, however, might be the professional dancers who perform cabaret on various nights of the week, which i thoroughly enjoy each time i see it. (Please be aware that on certain nights the DJs can be crude and those who are easily offended should steer clear - these are clearly advertised so there should be no misconceptions) The prices are reasonable and there are often fantastic special offers to tempt you. Staff are friendly and helpful. Everything about the place is geared to you enjoying a great night out.
Anyone thinking of buying shares in the Slug & Lettuce group ought to think carefully before doing so. My experience of the premises in Leeds on Sunday 26 May 2002 left me with the impression that when the general public at large find out what they charge for drinks they will desert the place in droves and thus may possibly have a knock on effect on the share price. Large spacious bar with leather seating, very nice. However they give you sticky tables to put your elbows on. A pianist and a violinist played very nicely and loudly also free newspapers to read. But the crux of the matter and the real reason people frequent pub/restaurants is to drink alcohol. I will merely state that a pint of Kronenberg is £2.70 and a Bacardi and splash of lemonade costs £4.85!. My partner had previously commented that a glass of wine at £3.70 seemed expensive. The food was excellent and fairly priced, the service was fine, but the price of the drinks... I felt that if the premises were half the size maybe the drinks would have been half the price.
The Oak has the BIGGEST BEER GARDEN IN THE WORLD....EVER. And, yes, it is actually a beer 'garden'. This is not just a few tables set on concrete slabs, but lots of huge tables set on grass. The atmosphere in the beer garden in the summer is second to none. The Oak is actually in Headingley/'Studentville', and its greatness is not only in its beer garden. Get inside on a cold winter night and the atmosphere is just as good. The Original Oak is basically a good, old-fashioned pub. The staff are all very friendly and I would want no other local. grolsch and Heineken are the lagers sold on tap but there are many bottles, bitters on tap, etc. There is also a free membership card, which entitles you to drinks offers. The doormen are also friendly and there is never any trouble. The Oak in a nutshell is a perfect example of a local where you go to prop up the bar with a pint and put the world to rights with all your mates. Perfect.
After residing in Leeds for nearly 2 ½ years now and putting a lot of work into my 'research', I finally feel ready to tell the world the results of my findings in the form of this opinion. I know I haven't included all of the bars in Leeds, but it's a better man then me who could find the time and resources to visit all of the city's drinking dens. So, here's a round up of the bars that I have been in, some a lot, some not so often, I hope it will help any of you planning a trip to Leeds, but it probably won't, because at the end of the day, I've written it and since when did I talk any sense? So, lets get on with it… I'll start my round-up at the canal end of the city, by the corn exchange, a very nice area of the city, and work my way up towards the student homelands of Headingley (but they're another story), not such a nice area. So, hold tight cos here we go: Aire Bar: A little bar in the calls area of town, just behind the Corn exchange. It used to be called Sparrow's Wharfe but it's name was changed for no apparent reason, nevermind. A favourite with students staying in the Clarence Dock halls Aire bar is a basement bar looking out over the river that has a very relaxed attitude at any time of the day. Open from 11-11 it is often quite busy around lunch time with business men, but don't let that put you off. It's quite expensive at £2.20 a pint but it has good well comfy leather sofas, so it's all good really. Verdict: Great for a quite pint (or two) but not really one for the night out. Pitcher and Piano and Town House: Despite never actually venturing into either of these establishments I'll give them a quick word anyway. They are both quite smart bars, positioned just behind the corn exchange, they are open all day and both hold 2 am licenses, as do most of the bars in Leeds city centre. In the evening they are generally packed,
often with long queues and they seem to attract a 'townie' sort of crowd. They have drinks at £2.20 a pint and are both large, spread over two floors. Verdict: I've never been but I've been warned away, not my sort of thing me thinks. Fudge Bar: Also positioned behind the Corn exchange I had not ventured into the rather strangely named Fudge bar til just last week, though I reckon I'll be back soon. It's just been extended and refurbished and in my opinion is more like a club than a bar. It's got a dancefloor and not much seating but overall is very smart, but then it should be at £2.50 a pint. It has also got a late license and plays credible house til the early hours, also check out their Sunday sessions, I caught MYNC project there the other day and other guests include Cream resident Yousef, so get down there to catch some top jocks for free, the perfect end to the weekend. Verdict: A very stylish bar with the perfect Sunday blues cure. Elemental: Situated in the basement of the Corn exchange is this very stylish bar, usually pumping out a house soundtrack. Their Tuesday student night stand out for a lesson in drinking, especially vodka! Open til 2 every day they've even got a dancefloor to shake your stuff on to the very good resident DJ's. Verdict: Went for the first time the other day and will certainly be returning. Nice bar with a great soundtrack. Café Inseine: Just up from the Corn exchange and opposite the Space club café inseine is a small bar split over two floors, they play host to DJ's on certain nights, most notably their warm up to Base at Space on a Wednesday night, hard house all the way. They also do cocktails, rather potent ones at that and some lovely food curing the day. Open til 2 at the weekend and 12 during the week you'll pay £2.00 a pint, not bad, eh. Verdict: A bit small but great for closeness to Space. Revolution: Down towards the can
al comes a multitude of bars, most of which I haven't been in due to their rather big queues and my lack of patience, an exception to this rule is Revolution, part of the vodka bar chain it is a relatively big bar with a lovely outside seating area for the summer, oh, I wish it was summer again. Revolution has a superb selection of flavoured Vodkas at a very reasonable £1 a shot during the week and £1.50 at the weekend, I would particularly recommend the dime bar one, it's absolutely gorgeous. Their pints are reasonably priced at £2.00 for Heineken, but the bar does get very busy at the weekend, so go during the week and enjoy the laid back hip hop selection being laid down by the DJ. At the weekend the tempo is upped a bit to a fine blend of funky house, can't go wrong really. Verdict: Great bar during the week and in the summer but can get a bit packed during the winter months. Rock Bar: Situated by the train station Rock doesn't look much from the outside, but once you venture in you'll discover the basement, which is more of a club than a bar, with a large dancefloor and not much seating. It's a very dark bar with black walls which gives it quite a dingy feel, but it works quite well. The drinks are very expensive at £2.50 a pint, but then it is nearly a club, and it's open til 2 every day. Verdict: Nice if you've got the money but not really for the students amongst us. Becketts Bank: Moving past the train station Becketts Bank is situated in the financial district of Leeds, and, yes, you guessed it, used to be a bank. It's part of the Weatherspoon chain and as such provides very cheap drinks at all hours of the day and they also provide mouth watering food at knock down rates. Brilliant I hear you cry, what more could you want? Well, although the décor is very nice and the layout also brilliant with a balcony surrounding the large room the bar keeps with the Weatherspoon tradition of not p
laying music. Now, this is ok during the day, but come night time and the place is full to bursting, it really does start to do your head in not having any music pumping out. Also the crowd is mainly made up of Ben Sherman blokes and mini skirted middle aged women, not my idea of fun. Verdict: Great during the day but avoid at night. Courtyard: Voted bar of the year for students last year the courtyard is a rather large bar situated by the newly renovated Millennium Square. Aptly named 'the courtyard' because of it's massive outside, yes you've guessed it, courtyard. It's all undercover and fully heated so you can enjoy the fresh air at any time of the year. The bar is usually busy with special offers during the week and some more funky house at the weekend. It's got a small dancefloor, in front of the DJ box to bust a move on, but if you're outside then the tables will suffice. The drinks are expensive at £2.50 a pint but go during the week and take advantage of their very cheap offers as it's open til 2 every day. Verdict: A great bar with a very friendly clientele. Bar 38: This bar is located on the Headrow, directly opposite the town hall, part of the chain and like the others Bar 38 offers a very stylish bar spread over 3 levels, with unisex toilets no less! Definitely for the more stylish amongst us they have a strict dress code at the weekend, no trainers etc.. But this is relaxed during the week. The drinks weigh in at £2.20 a pint, so not too bad then, and they have offers on rather nice cocktails during the week to save you a packet, but, they don't have a DJ and the music can be a bit eclectic to say the least, which is a bit of a let down. Verdict: Very stylish but there are better options around. Walkabout: A very large bar, split over two levels, featuring a large dancefloor pumping out only the purest cheddar every day of the week. Has a fine range of Australian lagers a
nd is decorated in a 'down under' kind of way. It's got quite a studenty crowd and gets packed at the weekend as it's as big as a club yet only £1 to get in (after 11). The drinks are around £2.20 a pint, so not too bad really, and there's 3 large bars so the queues aren't generally too bad. Verdict: Great for a cheesy night out, but if you've got any musical standards avoid like month old milk. Yates: Situated opposite Morrisons, Yates win lodge is another large bar on two levels with a large terrace for the summer. Featuring a DJ and dancing on the weekend, when it fills with the locals on the pull, it's best to keep away when they invade. During the day it's a different story though, as they offer cheap drinks (£1.60 a pint) and quite tasty food. Verdict: Avoid at night but worth a look if you're on a budget. Springbok: Directly opposite Yates is Springbok sports bar. The amount of tv's (and I'm not talking men in drag) that this place contains is amazing, showing any sporting event that you could think of. They also have a DJ playing cheese at the weekend, when this bar also becomes a bit of a local's hangout. They have student offers at all times, £1.50 for a pint of stella, which is never bad and also cheap cocktails which are rather yummy. Verdict: As with Yates give it a shot during the day but avoid at the weekend. Dry Dock: A proper student hide away if ever I saw one. With Leeds Met just over the road this converted boat, yes really, is always crammed with the 'brains of Britain' wasting their lives away. Part of the 'it's a scream' chain a reduction on nearly everything is available on the production of a yellow card, which you can get with a quick flash of your student card and the payment of £1. What a deal. In the summer this place is packed with people overflowing onto the grass outside. With it being open til 1 every
day it's an ideal student pub and if you haven't been in it yet then you should be embarrassed. Verdict: Get yourself down there, don't be a square. Well, that about rounds up my whistle stop tour of Leeds bars. I know I've missed loads out but never mind eh, maybe I'll do another review on them… WARNING: I have given my opinion of these bars, do not blame me if they are not as I described, I'd had a few after all.
Having been a studen in leeds for the past two years and never venturing into planet earth (planet slap as it was known as due to the ladies who ventured inside and the pissed up lads who tried to pull them only to slap it on the revolving dance floor) I was pleasently surprised when earlier this month I stumbled upon the recently reopened Bondi Beach Bar. Cheap, Cheesey and Cheapfull. Lets start with Cheap, free entry with the good old NUS card and 2 for 1 drinks all night sunday to thursday. Cheese, which other club could give you such a range of music Abba to the A-team theme, Westlife, Chesney Hawkes, van morrison to name just a few. Then theres Cheerful after a few drinks the revolving dancefloor is very appealing and then you have to get on it, if your lucky it stops and you jump on before it starts, if your not that lucky you step on and slap it on your face in front of the fittest girl in the club. After a good boogie refreshments are in order and if you make it to the bar in one piece you may as well have your 2 for 1 shooter followed by a 2 for 1 cocktail, it would be rude not to you tell yourself. after you get those down your neck (or that nice new shirt depending on your level of intoxication) you realise you have no chance of getting back on the dancefloor, thats where the fun begins, find yourself a good seat near the edge of the dance floor and sit and watch and laugh out load at all the dodgy boys and girls as they jump and fall on and off the dancefloor. As long as you arrive at the Bondi Beach Bar knowing what to expect you won't be disappointed.
Ok so I've only been living in Leeds for the last 4 years but I have been a student which makes me excellently qualified to judge the pubs, bars and nightlife in Leeds and I think I will say a little bit about the Bar that I frequent. Here we go, my favourite bar. Walkabout Inn - for some reason I am the ony one of my friends that actually likes this place, prolly because I like cheese and Walkabout Inn is Brie on Toast, it is sooo cheesy that it makes Wensleydale look like a piece of fish! So what do we have/? Well its an Australian Bar which sstays open till 2am almost every night!!! Need I say more, well if I dont then people reading this will complain so I will. It is mainly a sports bar with massive TV screans where you can watch all of the latest football or sports highlights any time of day or night. They serve food too, although it is a little pricey the portions are enormous. The range of food runs from a simple salad to anything that used to be alive running or hopping around down under (yes you can order:Springbok, Aligator and even kangaroo!!! the springbok is the nicest though tastiing a little bit like vennison). Night time is the time to be there though, it beomes almost a club and with its two levels you find people dancing on the tabes dancing aanywhere they can. During the week (usually on wednesdays) there are live bands and I have seen Robbie Williams and Queen tribute bands, both have been really good. There is a wide range of drinks on offer, all you fave beers and bottles are on offer, as are your shots. There are also some australian beeers such as Victoria Bitter on offer which is worth a try (like the Austrailian rugby team). As a nice toutch too all the staff seem to have aussie accents.. Great.. Alex (please feel free to comment) Ta X PS G'day mate, I think that should have been at the start???
By day a quiet relaxing pub where businessmen chat over lunch, by night the best live music venue in Leeds, this is Josephs Well. With the closure of both The Duchess and the T&C, Josephs Well has stepped up to the plate as THE premier music venue in Leeds, offering a diverse range of bands and styles, as well as a regular comedy night, both taking place in the stage area downstairs. Upstairs, is the bar area, a large airy space which combines a traditional pub atmosphere with a vibrant, young air to be one of the main spots for Leeds many students to hang out. With sports regularly being shown on the big screen, along with pool table and leisure equipment, a night at Josephs Well can last as long as you want it to without ever getting boring. Added to this the recent extension of drinking hours to midnight, and you have the perfect place to go. This is easily my favourite pub in Leeds, and with a friendly staff, and accomodating locals, it is THE place to go.
My personal preference is for a real pub, but in Leeds these are few and far between now... usually seperated by around 25 Cafe Bars, Coffee Houses, etc. filled with pretentious posers. At first glance, The Empire Bar on The Headrow opposite the Henry Moore Musuem, seems like just another city centre bar that have spread across Leeds faster than the designer shops in recent years. Standard bar pumps, including the usual mega-brewery range of 4 drinks (2 lagers, a crap 'smooth-flow' bitter and a cider) and Guinness add to that familar anonymous feeling. But hang on, most of the clientel (or staff) don't really seem to fit the image. Ok, so the sign on the door used to say 'no construction clothes', but Fridays excepted this is not just your usual pre-clubby crowd that you can find flowing around on a week-day evening. A whole range of office workers, shoppers, bus-queuers and general drifters can be found here every night. But what is it that they know ? Happy Hour 2 for 1 on most drinks, every night is what they know - what better way to relax after work, than not spending many of your hard earned pennies on a few drinks - hey, I might even buy a round ! 2 pints of Guinness for just £2.20 and I'd probably drink anywhere. However, Art's (still can't get used to the new name) has more than just cheap beer, it also has a friendly atmosphere, almost a Cheers-like feel to it, that means you just come back time and time again. The main downside is sometimes the music is a bit loud, but recently it only tends to go up after 9pm - as the drinks do - and the clubbers wake-up. They don't know what they are missing.
This outlet is a family type pub/restaurant situated in Oulton, South of Leeds. THe decor of the interior is very cosy, a bit olde worlde but comfortable without being too twee. You can eat or drink there in a friendly atmoshphere, surrounded by rugby league memorabelia. The staff are polite and eager to help, although my wife once ordered a sweet white wine at the bar and back came the sourest (it must have been off) dry wine you could every wish to taste. Having said that, we have drunk and dined there many times and the food is hearty but relatively inexpensive. Garlic Mushroom starter is about £2.50, while main courses range between about £4 to £10.99 for the larger steak type dishes. What's great about this venue is it has a children's play area, so after they've eaten, when they start to get bored, they can go and play a bit while you enjoy a few more drinks. In the summer the Beer garden with a playground and often a bouncy castle is open.
Cazbar is the grooviest bar I've been to lately. It's small size, warm colourings and lighting make it very cosy indeed. Hidden down a side street off Chappletown Road, the bar is pleasantly tucked away to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. Cazbar offers a quiet retreat for anyone, with its' relaxed atmosphere boasting wines, beers, largers and so on exported from across Europe and farther. What's so special about this bar? I hear you ask? Well, apart from the fact that it hosts beautiful live music and entertainment, is run by joyusly relaxed and friendly people, it serves THE finest selection of alcohol known to man! One of the 7.5% 25cl glasses of beer I sampled, sent the Fosters and Carlings of the market wimpering back under the rocks from which they crawled from! After two drink I decided not to tempt fate and have another,I wanted to be able to walk home with some dignity! Another bonus is the food. Although I did not eat there, I plan to do so this week. From reading the menu, and nosing over a couple devouring large bowls of pasta! I came to the conclusion that the food is freshly prepared and looks to be cooked with passion! Everything seems to be sauted, marenated, siced and spiced! Upon this week's visit then, I doubt if I'll be able to do up my trousers! let along walk home!
As a member of staff of Bar Censsa my opinion on the bar may be very different to a typical customer, who range from townies to suits, students to couples. As it is a chain bar they are of course overly obsessed with image and rules, which causes friction with staff and supervisors, however customers will never notice this, and the bar generally has a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere. The décor is bright with orange walls and modern art and during the day we play nice, chilled out music. We are fairly quiet during the day, so it is good for a relaxed lunch. Also during the day we provide a waiter service for the tables, and we do chat to customers and are generally friendly and helpful ( we're after tips of course ) . The food is pretty good quality and doesn't break the bank, eg £3.95 for a filled cibatta sandwich. In the evening the place gets busy, we offer a range of cocktail jugs are available at £6.50, including Sex on the Beach and vodka Redbull jugs, my favourite is Purple Haze. We also do shooters for £1, which are very popular. From sunday - wednesday prices are fairly cheap, £1.85 for a pint of Fosters, and the bar is open until midnight, however from thursday - saturday prices go up, £2.15 for Fosters, but the bar stays open until 2am. Half of the bar can be hired out for parties, and is actually a good venue for birthdays and stag/hen nights. During term time it is also popular with students. There are also rooms available upstairs for business functions. You can also order your food online, so it's ready for you when you arrive. You can do this from the website at http://www.barcenssa.com This is a nice cafe bar, one of the better in town, it's about 2 minutes from the station, so if you're ever in Leeds opo in.

Is it just me or is anyone else bored?
Maybe you all are bored, which is the reason why you're viewing these forums right now... even my thread ;P
I was wondering if anyone, at least one person, would love to create a character with me in... any game! Let's choose one together. It could be a P2P MMO or F2P ones that we've already played in the past.
I'm just in the mood to start a game with someone, so excuse me for making this post. Just thought that finding a partner to level up and play the game with would be more fun than playing alone..
Hell, wouldn't mind if more people here pitched in.

Instead of the ever popular dots or circles, Tim goes with washers. And not just perfect clone washers. Each one looks different like they've lived in the bottom of something damp and dirty for a long time. The holes vary in size and the outer edge of each washer are not factory spec either. Then Tim lines them up and they become lace, chain mail, or even those hole reinforcements for notebook paper. Personally I don't think this die has to be a man thing. It reads totally different cut out of white paper. I also did some old book text for a vintage feel. And give it a try with an atmospheric patterned paper in bright or neon colors. I only buy dies that I can use again and again in new and interesting ways. How about that red velvet paper? Won't read like washers then! Great die. Have fun!

I bought this die strip because I thought it would give a masculine look to pages and cards. It certainly does that and it cuts precisely and removes efficiently from the cardstock. I am really happy with this product.

Satan is your enemy, so treat him as an enemy. He summons his party so they will be among the people of the Searing Blaze. (Surah Fatir: 6)
Never Forget That...
• Satan patiently waits to deceive people at every moment,
• Satan will try to hinder you from being grateful to your Lord by making you forget the blessings,
• Satan wants you to forget that there is good in every situation and thereby hinder you from putting your trust in Allah,
• Satan will try to instil carelessness, laziness, anger, heedlessness, selfishness and forgetfulness in you,
• Satan wants to hinder you from your acts of worship and conducting yourself responsibly towards Allah,
• Satan has no influence whatsoever on true believers,
• Seeking refuge in Allah when a deceptive suggestion from Satan provokes you will bring you relief,
• Forgetfulness is Satan's greatest weapon,
• Satan wants to hinder you from keeping your mind occupied with Allah's remembrance,
• Arrogance and resisting truth are attributes of the accursed Satan,
• Satan will try to fill you with false hopes,
• Satan never wants you to engage in deeds that will please Allah and attain Paradise,
• Satan's primary aim is to make you earn eternal torment, as he himself will,
• Satan has no authority over people, but merely calls on them.2012-02-02 01:30:19

Toronto Raptors have signed center Aaron Gray
Raptors sign Anthony Carter
Cavs re-sign former Parker
J.J. Barea agrees to 4-year, $19 million deal with Timberwolves
