Dig into England's illustrious past in ancient York, where rustic cafes and pretty shopfronts adorn the city's streets
Once the most important city outside of London, York is densely packed with layers of history and character. Uncovering a new layer every day is one of the perks of being a student here. Start exploring your new home walking alongside its medieval city walls, or get a better perspective from atop York Minster's gothic towers.
Discover the remains of a viking town revealed beneath your feet, or spend hours wandering past the timber-framed buildings on Stonegate and The Shambles, some dating back to the 14th century. Imagine what St Mary's Abbey would have looked like in its heyday, or see how the Georgian aristocracy lived at Fairfax House.
Fast-forward to the present and York abounds with 21st century things to see and do too. Sip your coffee in a former gatehouse, peruse hand-crafted goods from independent traders who bring their wares to the street during Fossgate Festival, or pick up quirky trinkets for your room from vintage shops like The Flax and Twine.
Watch the river Ouse flow past with a local ale in a beer garden, try quality Indian food at Mumbai Lounge, or celebrate the quintessentially English pastime of afternoon tea at Bettys Café Tea Rooms.
Explore the rest of Yorkshire on a day trip to a fine stately home, or see where that lovely farmer's market produce comes from in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales.

Waiting game
Aug 5, 2009 | Views: 460
Filed under: /blogs/browse/t/vehicle/v//p
Well I "purchased" my '79 Monte Carlo Saturday Aug 1,2009....and now I play the waiting game. Since being rear ended in my '96 Monte I have done nothing but the insurance shuffle. (I hate Liberty Mutual) I was not at fault obviously, and so I've been forced to deal with the company of the person who hit me. They were lousy from the begining! Granted after a long drawn out battle, which I did myself (lawyer sucked too) I got most of what I wanted. With the small exception of a lousy 5 day bank hold on the settlement check! Arggggg. The tag and title have been transfered, and I just wait for the check to clear so that I can take posession. Tuesday it the estimated big day....so until then....

Suspect sought for car theft
PUBLISHED: 13:49 22 November 2012
Hooded male allegedly smashed the car window to steal the part from a bag on the seat.
POLICE in Barnstaple are searching for a man responsible for stealing a wishbone part in a bag from the seat of a car parked in Concord Drive.
The window of the blue Ford Fiesta was smashed by the suspect at about 7.40pm on Friday, November 9.
The man then ran off down the access footpath towards Chichester Close.
He is described as being six feet tall and of slim build. He was wearing a light coloured hoodie with a motif on the front and was aged in his mid to late teens.
The wishbone was for a Ford Fiesta and is unlikely to be of much use to an opportunist thief.
Anyone who has any information is asked to call Crimestoppers on 0800 555111 quoting crime reference CB/12/3610.

A very nice shot of its kind. Your note helps to create the breakfast atmosphere. It sounds like a light but delicious start to the day. I like the way you have framed the table top, it's like being there with the aroma of the coffee. Simple but delightful.

FRENCH, GEORGE H. (?–1843?). George H. French, newspaperman, came to Texas probably in 1838, when he joined his brother-in-law, Samuel Bangs, in the publication of the Galvestonian. In the early 1840s the two men were in Houston publishing the Mosquitoqv; they apparently returned to Galveston and were association with the Daily News, for on April 19, 1842, the earliest extant copy of this predecessor of the Galveston News was printed in Bangs's shop and listed George H. French as publisher. In April 1840 French and Bangs founded the Daily Courier at Galveston, with Joel T. Case as editor. For publishing remarks offensive to Judge Anthony B. Shelby, who presided over the Galveston and Houston district court, French was arrested, sentenced to a year in jail, and fined $1,000. The incident aroused the citizenry, and French's sentence was remanded, but ultimately he left Houston. In March 1841 French and Bangs issued the Daily Galvestonian, with French as editor. In 1843 French and G. L. Hamlin, probably still in association with Bangs, took over another Galveston Island paper, the San Luis Advocateqv, which was renamed Texas Times. French died shortly thereafter in a yellow fever epidemic.

Secret Gelato
Author Notes: Just was bored and needed to use up some avocados (for some reason I had 5 or 6) I love but I was the only one eating them. So I decided to sneak this in on my family. When first made it has a very lite consistency and not quite as sweet as normal ice cream or gelato. So I made for the didn't tell I was just served it to them and they loved it. My son is Elvis reincarnated so I did put peanut butter in his lol. But if you have a diabetic or a vegan in your life or like me just to many avocados this is recipe is for you. I hope you enjoy. —ZombieCupcake
Makes about 3 cups
- 2 Avocados cut and frozen
- 2 Bananas cut and frozen
- 1/4 cup Coconut milk cold
- 1/4 cup Unsweetened cocoa
- 1/8 cup Agave Syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- Ok going to have to try to simplify this. Put all the ingredients into the blender hit medium setting and blend till fluffy and smooth.
- Serve immediately and enjoy! If some is left over it can be froze but add coconut milk and agave to get consistency back

Congress president Sonia Gandhi on Saturday asked the states ruled by the party to implement in "letter and spirit" the food security scheme which it sees as a "game changer" in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections.
She held deliberations with Congress Chief Ministers on how to implement the food scheme seeking to provide cheap foodgrains to 82 crore people, for which an ordinance was promulgated last week.
Party sources said the CMs were told at the meeting to rollout the scheme in "letter and spirit".
The meeting was held at a time when the party is preparing for the 2014 Lok Sabha polls and is keen to reach out to the people with its populist measure.
Delhi, where assembly polls are due by year-end, will be the first state to roll out the scheme on August 20, the birth anniversary of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi.
Besides Congress CMs, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, party Vice President Rahul Gandhi, Food Minister K V Thomas, AICC general secretaries and Core Group memebers were present during the deliberations.
The aim of the meeting was to ensure that the scheme is implemented in the best possible manner with Congress-ruled states becoming role models in implementation of the food security measure.
Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) scheme and the Food Security Act are being considered as major moves by Congress ahead of the 2014 general elections as was the farmers' loan waiver scheme and MNREGA announced in UPA-I.
The loan waiver and MNREGA schemes were credited among other things for return of UPA to power in 2009.
Several states, including Congress-ruled Karnataka and Uttarakhand, BJP-governed Chhattigarh, SP-ruled Uttar Pradesh and JD(U)-run Bihar, could see early roll out of the programme.

Finally someone else who thinks Anarchy Online was the best MMO ever \\o/If they really do go ahead with the new client I might just head back there :)Oh and btw, there really is a rodent called a degu.
"Project Entropia"....Totally played that game.... Spent way to much money on it over a few years....though I have a friend that played for a while and ended up pulling out a few hundred dollars with out putting any in.
I played Anarchy Online too! And it is the reason I dropped Cegep too haha.Look what I found out ;)
999 posts!
Well, that was an interesting thing to watch. You didn't talk about your wife, man - you should have. And about this StarCraft stuff - I would like to help you out, as I adore the game. I am not sure how well and what I could do, but I definitely down. And if you are going for another video kind of thing, I could add another accent to TankSpot :P Shoot me an email, or talk to me on IRC, or whatever if you are interested.
Tl;dw :\"
I watched the entire video and I am glad that I did. It was interesting to hear your gaming history and how you got involved with WoW and Tankspot. I liked how you had a clan in Counterstrike with all rodent names like Mouse and Hamster, now you are doing something called the weekly Marmot.Anyway, I would have liked to have heard more of World of Warcraft and your thoughts on the game in general. It would be interesting to for some of us that are newer to the game to hear how it has evolved over the years through Classic, Burning Crusade, Wrath of the Lich King, and now Cataclysm.I don't know how many people would actually watch another hour long video, but I know I would.
Hey there, bud!If you didn't watch it, don't comment to say you didn't watch it.okay? Pointless comments for the loss :D

Pregame notes: Cano steady from the beginning
Robinson Cano has played in 120 games this season. He's one home run away from a career-high, he long ago passed his career-high in walks and his on-base percentage is 41 points higher than his career OBP.
"This is just a different year," Cano said. "I'm trying to put everything behind. Just go out there and swing at strikes and get something that I can drive."
The amazing thing about that quote: It's from April 7.
As a group of reporters huddled around Cano's locker this afternoon, I couldn't help but think back to March and April. Today we were asking about Cano's three-day stint as the Yankees clean-up hitter. Back then we were asking how he felt to be trusted in the No. 5 spot.
"The game of baseball, you always have to keep improving and learning," Cano said during spring training. "I feel like I'm one of the guys that has to keep learning and keep improving and show people that I can still play the game."
Cano has put himself among the best hitters in the game, and he's preached patience throughout. He's talked about keeping things simple, about trying not to do too much. It's the same thing player after player has said day after day, but Cano has lived it since spring training.
"To think that he wouldn't tail off at some point is really hard to fathom," Joe Girardi said. "In Alex's absence, he's stepped up to the four spot and done a tremendous job."
• Alfredo Aceves will make another rehab start this weekend. He'll make it in Portland, Maine, going three innings for Double-A Trenton. Girardi couldn't remember whether the start would be Saturday or Sunday, but it's likely Aceves will make at least one more before rejoining the big league bullpen.
"We're not just considering Portland, Maine to be his last appearance," Girardi said. "We have them spaced out. This is spring training for him, and we think he still needs to build some arm strength and get sharper. But I told him, if we feel there's a need, we'll call him back. I'm not saying we don't want him back, but we want to make sure he's ready before we call him back."
• Andy Pettitte told reporters that he expects to travel with the team to Toronto next week. Girardi said that's possible, but he hasn't talked to anyone about Pettitte's final plan for the week. "His plan has not changed," Girardi said. "We were basically going to give him six or seven days off. It's possible he'll be accompanying us to Toronto."
• Girardi's not sure when Alex Rodriguez might play the field. "A lot of it depends on how he feels," Girardi said. "It's one thing to watch him and say he feels great, but he has to let me know when he feels he's ready to go and play the infield."
• The Yankees have gotten a few short outings from starters lately, and they're in the middle of a lot of games in a row, but Girardi said he's not worried about the bullpen workload. "We have two long men and we've been able to rest guys," he said.
• Curtis Granderson went 6-for-13 in this week's series against Detroit. "Ever since he's made those slight adjustments with K-Long, we've seen much better at-bats and more consistent at-bats," Girardi said. "And we're excited about that."
UPDATE, 6:12 p.m.: So far, no lineup changes for the Yankees. I have to think Rodriguez is staying in there. Here's the Seattle lineup.
Ichiro Suzuki RF
Chone Figgins 2B
Russell Branyan DH
Jose Lopez 3B

The Horse Forum
- New to Horses
- - What to feed a horse to get top performance?
What to feed a horse to get top performance? I have a 12hh pony he is quite lazy, now I had people say I need to feed him more than mjust grass, I now have clover hay that I feed him every night. Will this improve his performance? I was going to give him cool conditioner (http://wvs.com.au/media/catalog/prod...onditioner.jpg) Has anyone ever used this? Does it have impact? |
How is the pony's weight right now? Ponies are frequently very easy keepers and throwing more calories won't make them more energetic, just fat. If something is deficient in their diet then you may be able to make a difference with feed, but a low calorie, high nutrient feed is what you'd want to look for. Chances are good though that a lazy horse is lazy because of his personality and he's learned to ignore the aids. For horses like this, reschooling can help but they'll never be as forward as a naturally forward horse. Posted via Mobile Device |
I just thought that it would make a difference. Clover hay does help a bit. He is more forward moving but thanks. I won't buy the cool conditioner. Just keep to grass and clover hay. |
If he maintains alright on whatever you are feeding him and he is healthy then it has nothing to do with feed and all to do with training. Sure, you could feed a horse a bunch of feeds equivalent to a bag of candy, and yes, you'll get that sugar rush out of them, but don't mistake that for being forward because that will only come from correct training and correct aids. If he's healthy and happy on whatever you have him on then just stick with that and focus on getting him to move off your leg more quickly during the ride. |
It's like feeding a kid more sugar because you like them energetic lol. Just make sure he is getting all he needs and is healthy. Some horses are just lazy, just like people. |
As said, some horses are just lazy. No amount of food is going to change that. Although it's worth considering that in a lot of places grass is not a "complete feed". It's often lacking in a lot of nutrients. Some places and varieties of grass are better than others, but all grass and hay is going to be of variable, unknown quality. For this reason I've always fed a pre-mixed feed with added vitamins. Other people feed using grains, or add their own supplements and if you know what you're doing it all ends up pretty similar. I know there are usually pre-mixed feeds for ponies which are low in sugar, which you might want to look into. If you're going to get feed you'll be wanting something that is primarily nutrients, with not much cereal or sugar, as you're not looking to put on weight. |
288 Attachment(s) Agree with the above, but one thing I find is common & often overlooked is that horses are 'lazy' because of physical problems, such as sore feet, saddle pain, body issues. And commonly horses are lazy because of *too much* food, which may also be the reason for hoof pain. I would not be inclined to feed a pony (who tend to need a lot less than a horse, proportionally) - on clover. It's usually quite high in sugar/carbs & lower than other hay/alfalfa in fibre. If the pony needs more 'condition' then I'd tend to head for alfalfa or beet pulp. If the pony is in hard physical work, this may be needed to keep him in good condition, but I'd not pre-empt that but wait until a horse was losing weight before feeding extra - overweight/overfed causes way more probs than light-on horses. If the horse is on purely grass, then nutritional balance is likely to be a problem, which may effect energy, but you need to have an idea(or know, by analysis) what's in the grass, before knowing what the best nutritional supp would be to add. A low dose, quality ration balancer, or powdered supp in literally a handful of feed would likely be best if the horse doesn't need extra weight. |

The Cinema Society Hosts Screening of the Dark Comedy "This Must Be the Place"
Last night The Cinema Society & Tumi hosted a screening of The Weinstein Company's "This Must Be the Place" at the Tribeca Grand Hotel. Celebs and stars of the move like Eve Hewson (pictured), Bono's daughter, came out to support the film. Hewson took the spotlight in a Stella McCartney dress and Brian Atwood pumps. Cocktails were served and attendees like Gerard Butler, Karolina Kurkova, Harvey Weinstein, and Debbie Harry chatted before everyone settled into the theater for the film.
The film follows Cheyenne (Sean Penn), a former rock star still living a "goth" life in Dublin off of his royalties. After the death of his father, he goes back to New York and finds out that his father spent his life seeking revenge on an ex-Nazi war criminal. Cheyenne follows in his father's footsteps, and leaves his wife (Academy Award winner Frances McDormand) and friends (Eve Hewson) behind to go off on an American road trip. Though the subject material is serious, the film is amusing and entertaining. Sean Penn does a fantastic job playing the lost and child-like Cheyenne — as co-star Judd Hirsh put it last night, "he looked very strange, but he was a great and wonderful man to act with." The dark comedy, a winner at this year's Cannes Film Festival, also stars Kerry Condon, Harry Dean Stanton, Joyce Van Patten, and David Byrne — and was directed by Paolo Sorrentino.
"This Must Be The Place" will be in select theaters on November 2.

World Cup 2014: Netherlands supporters party in style prior to match against Australia
By Amanda Shalala in BrazilFor most Australians, the pilgrimage to the footy is fairly straightforward.
There's the drive, bus, train or taxi ride in, the obligatory pre-fuelling at a nearby pub, and a leisurely stroll to the stadium just in time for kick-off.
But the Dutch do things differently, making the trip to the ground as much of an event as the match itself. This was on display in full Oranje glory before the Socceroos World Cup clash against the Netherlands in Porto Alegre.
When I turned up in the Mercado Central (central market) around three and a half hours before kick-off, it was barely recognisable.
The local stalls which filled the plaza the day before were gone, replaced by thousands of football-mad Dutch men and women (and some bemused Australians) turning a small Brazilian port town into the traditional 'Oranjeplein' (orange square).
The festivities were spearheaded by DJ Danny Lukassen - a man with the looks of Angry Anderson, the voice of Barry Crocker, and the charisma of a young Daryl Somers.
He owned the crowd, perched atop an orange double decker bus belting out an array of popular Dutch songs, and a few universal classics like Sweet Caroline.
Then came the 'Oranjeparade' down Avenida Borges de Medeiros, with thousands of Netherlands fans faithfully following DJ Danny's bus, to Estadio Beira-Rio for the 'Caminho do Gol' or 'Goal Walk'.
While the Oranjeplein was intriguing, the Oranjeparade was completely entrancing, as the wave of orange washed over Porto Alegre, capturing everyone in its alluring, unmissable neon glow.
It took one and a half hours to make the four kilometre trek to the stadium, with-non stop singing, cheering, and dancing in the streets. It was completely infectious, as locals hung outside their windows, their Brazilian flags briefly replaced by anything orange they could find.
It was a vastly different colour scheme inside the stadium with around 14,000 Australians compared to 4,000 Dutch.
The Aussie fans even kicked some serious Tim Cahill-esque goals in the supporter stakes, creating an incredible atmosphere and only resorting to 'Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Oi, Oi, Oi!' once.
But that walk, that unforgettable march to the stadium was truly something unique.
The costumes were quirky and diverse, the songs were sung loud and proud, and the love of the game was all pervasive, showcasing football fandom at its absolute finest.

Last week, BettyConfidential had the honor of attending a panel discussion with the creators of four hit TV shows – all of which had just been nominated for Golden Globes only a few hours before.
Matthew Weiner (Mad Men), Ryan Murphy (Glee, Nip/Tuck), Steven Levitan (Modern Family) and Carter Bays (How I Met Your Mother) sat down for a chat with Peter Tolan (Rescue Me) at a lunch hosted by the Hollywood Radio & Television Society.
BettyConfidential was there to hear all the scintillating gossip and hilarious anecdotes straight from TV Land.
Bad Boys, Bad Jobs
Before the scripts, the stars and the success — the four hit makers all used to have rotten jobs.
Matthew Weiner of Mad Men quipped, "I'm unemployable in every other profession." He related a story about getting fired from a 9-to-5 office job after admitting to his boss that he spent the majority of his working hours playing Hearts on the computer.
Ryan Murphy, whose show Glee revolves around a high school singing club, discussed his own teenage "week of terror." At age 15 he was hired by Florsheim Shoes at his local mall but was fired after his first day because he refused to touch feet. He then moved a few stores down to the GAP, where he was promptly fired for failing to stack jeans correctly. He finally landed a gig as a gift wrapper at a jewelry store, a job he clung to for a full two years.

Real Life/TV Life
The funnymen then opened up about their real lives and how they pour them into their TV shows.
Carter Bays said the idea for the hit How I Met Your Mother — the first show he and writing partner Craig Thomas ever developed — came from the two of them chatting about their lives and families. He said they wanted the show to have a hopeful perspective, which its flashback format facilitates.
"It's about the uncertainty of being single," he explained. "But it starts from the premise that everything's going to be OK."
Steven Levitan said he also spent a lot of time "sitting around" and listening to his family.
"We've got to harness this good dialogue," he realized.

RENO — Rep. Mark Amodei lent his support to immigration activists who took part in a Reno march on Saturday and pledged to work with leaders of both parties to ensure passage of immigration legislation.
The Nevada Republican greeted activists at his Reno office, spoke about 10 minutes and passed out water to them before they marched about three miles to the landmark Reno Arch.
He told them he recognizes the need for an overhaul of the nation's immigration system and has been working hard to secure passage of immigration legislation.
More than 300 immigration activists marched from four different locations, including Amodei's office, to the Reno Arch. Speakers there urged them to keep up pressure on Congress to enact immigration legislation.
Amodei has said he supports legislation that allows some immigrants to apply for U.S. citizenship after a 10-year probationary period. Many House Republicans question the offer of citizenship to people who broke U.S. immigration laws to be in the country.
Organizers praised Amodei's support of the march, saying they appreciate his leadership on the immigration issue.

Brazil set forth on its path of action by not only promoting, but mandating, the use of alternative fuels back in 1975 with its National Alcohol Program. At that time, the initiative was the largest fossil fuel substitution program on the planet; demanding the use of sugarcane ethanol to power autos. Although no longer in effect, the mandate set the tone for Brazil's proactive approach towards green fuels. To date, ethanol still represents over 50 percent of every liter of gasoline consumed in Brazil. A company looking to greatly benefit from the Brazilian initiatives is St. Louis, Missouri-based International Fuel Technology, Inc. (OTCBB:IFUE). Rapidly emerging as a leader in fuel performance enhancement, International Fuel Tech is focused on providing its two product lines, DiesoLiFT™ and PerfoLiFT BD-Series, to large, industrial consumers of diesel fuel and bio-diesel fuel blends in the rail, stationary power generation and road transport industries globally. Both products are scientifically proven to provide significant benefits to diesel fuel and biodiesel fuel blends. DiesoLiFT™ 10 delivers improvements in fuel economy, a reduction in harmful emissions, increased fuel lubricity, it provides detergency benefits and co-solves normal amounts of free water, which collectively reduce maintenance costs for the end user. The PerfoLiFT BD-Series is a series of fuel additive formulations specifically developed to provide superior oxidation stability and deposit formation control to bio-diesel and bio-diesel fuel blends. If receiving an order from any company is a single, then today International Fuel Technology hit a home run through a new purchase order from international behemoth Petrobras (NYSE:PBR). The publicly-held Brazilian-based company has deep ties to the "green push" of the Brazilian government, a fact easily discerned through the Brazilian government being the majority shareholder in Petrobras. The IFUE product is slated to be used in Petrobras three wholly-owned biodiesel manufacturing plants in Brazil which collectively produce over 150 million liters of biodiesel per year. One would surely make the assumption that this may lead to major contracts and substantial revenue for Int'l Fuel Tech. Apparently those that draw those conclusions are on the same page as the IFUE team. Dr. Sergio C. Trindade, Int'l Fuel Technology's Director of Science and Technology and Nobel Co-Laureate, commented in the press release, "We are confident that our additive will continue to perform on a superior level, as it has in past testing with Petrobras. IFT believes it is in a position to supply Petrobras with most, if not all, of its additive needs for their entire bio-diesel production." Investors have apparently been seeing the potential of the Company since it touched lows of 7 cents less than two months ago. The price has been mounting a ladder-like climb now for the last six weeks. As trading ended for the day, volume for IFUE is ranking as one of the top days in the last year and shares touched 20 cents for the first time since February after closing at $0.195. Holding the majority of its daily gains and virtually all of its gains since the rise from $0.07, International Fuel Technology certainly appears to be slowly, but surely grabbing the attention of not only major industry players such as Petrobras, but also the investment community.

Hobart is a city in Lake County, Indiana, United States. The population was 29,059 at the 2010 census. Although it has been historically primarily residential, recent annexation has added a significant retail corridor to the city. [edit] History
Hobart was platted in 1849. George Earle, an English immigrant bought land from the Potawatomi Native American tribe, who built a dam on Deep River, creating Lake George. He named the settlement which later developed Hobart, after his brother, Frederick Hobart Earle, who never left England. There are two NRHP sites in the downtown area of Hobart, The First Unitarian Church of Hobart and The Hobart Carnegie Library. [edit] Research Tips

DELAWARE – A Hortonville man was arrested Thursday morning and charged with a federal sex crime.
Samuel Terwilliger, 25, was arrested at 861 North Branch Road after agents executed a search warrant at the residence, according to the FBI-led Hudson Valley Safe Streets Task Force.
The agency was withholding details of the case until Terwilliger was arraigned in White Plains federal court sometime Thursday afternoon.
But the charges include causing someone to engage in a sexual act by "threatening or placing that other person in fear" and enticing or coercing a minor "to engage or to assist any other person to engage in, sexually explicit conduct for the purpose of producing any visual depiction."

The Regal Tower in Birmingham is a 200 metre plus skyscraper planned by Regal Developments and designed by Aedas Architects to stand in the centre of the city.
If built it will be the tallest building by a whopping 50 metres, something that will make it a major landmark on the skyline, and as befits this status much thought has gone into how it could look, not only at a day but at night too. Lighting consultants Hoare Lee have been drafted in to give the scheme a look that's inspired in part by the Empire State Building in New York that often has blue illuminations around its crown and spire. Employing LED lighting that has low energy use, and low maintenance, the idea is to concentrate illumination in a few key areas of the building using angled uplighting to help the reduce light pollution that so many British cities suffer from. Having chosen contrasting blue and white as a colour theme, the idea is to have deep blue lighting richly illuminate the steps of the tower and its crown with the fins of the tower lit with cool white lightning to illuminate them vertically but not completely - the light should fade away as the fins rise from the steps. To achieve this effect there will be a mixture of 48 surface mounted LED Paraobilic Projector 022s on the bases of the fins that will be supplemented with 200 metres of linear Linex HD LED washlights between the fins. Kitting the tower out with these is budgeted at £146,000 using current prices. Sadly, despite the effort put in by Hoare Lea in dreaming up this night time look, it hasn't been featured in the official renderings released about the tower with those merely showing blue lighting ringing the skyscraper at various points. If it does go-ahead however, Birmingham will have a much needed beacon on its skyline, presently it's a cityscape that benefits from very few attractive and modern lighting schemes with the tallest being the lego-like BT Tower.

Irreversible is a great movie. I own it on DVD and watch it every couple of years. In many ways Irreversible is a masterpiece. The issue is this movie is wrong on so many levels. The director here is trying to be a tuff-guy and rip you apart with his over-the top themes. I guess the plot is good but the subject matter is so objectionable that to see the movie is irresponsible self-abuse.
If you value yourself and your mind don't see this.Guard yourself from these subjects. This is by far the most shocking movie I have ever seen by far and I could write a book about shocking movies. This movie is a bad life experience. It is mind warping.

Welcome to My Blog!
So for my first post, let me tell you how I got bit by the "Genealogy Bug". When I was in high school (a long time ago) I took a biology class (can't remember if it was my junior or senior year). The teacher gave us an assignment to find out why it was that we had the physical characteristics that we had. So, I went home and enlisted the assistance of my mother. We started by making note of the eye and hair color of my grandparents, great-grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc., along with whether or not they were right or left handed. Then we started writing letters to other relatives to find out information about them.
After I turned in my biology assignment (don't remember what grade I got) I lost interest in the whole thing. But, my mother was "hooked". For the next 20 some years she did research on some of our family lines. At one point, she even became "The Strait Family Historian."
She used to drag me and my dad around to cemeteries and I hated it. I think dad just tolerated it. She had binders and papers all over the house, stuffed in binders on bookshelves and in file drawers. She had notes written on little bits of paper and backs of envelopes. Don't know how she kept track of anything.
Then, shortly before my father passed away in 1992, both my mom and dad ended up in a nursing home. Even this didn't stop my mother from doing some research, although all her information was still at the house. After my father passed away, we had to put the house and its contents up for sale because mom was not going to be able to return home. My sisters and our husbands gathered at the house for a week to clean up as much as we could and take what we wanted to keep before they auctioned off the house and its contents.
I figured that since I was the one that got mom started on this adventure I should be the one that took over her genealogical research (and there was a ton of it). Unfortunately, there was so much that we couldn't get it all in our small car to take back home to Michigan with us. So, we left most of it with my husband's oldest daughter who lives in Garden City. About a year or so later we went back (we had a bigger car then) and picked up what we had left behind. Once I got it home I started going through it and have been "hooked" ever since. What I fear is that since we had to clean out my parent's house so quickly that some of her research may have gotten thrown in the dumpster.
My husband and I both retired in 2005 and we have made several genealogy related trips and have attended several genealogical conferences. Oh, and by the way, I LOVE going to cemeteries now!!! I even volunteer to take photos for Find A Grave! Who woulda thought.....

ReplyDeleteWelcome to the club! Any you're so lucky to have Becky as a cheerleader.
I identify with your comment about having "a ton of research" to go through. I have my own self-produced ton of research and I've found that the blogging is already helping me to concentrate because as I think about posting something I go back and take a second look at it and improve it still further.

Mercy Health System of Maine in Portland and Eastern Maine Healthcare Systems in Brewer have signed a definitive affiliation agreement for Mercy to become part of EMHS, the organizations announced Monday in a news release.
The organizations had signed a non-binding letter of intent on Dec. 7. The merger will include VNA Home Health & Hospice, a service unit of Mercy.
"Signing the definitive agreement is another significant step toward fulfilling our bright future as a member of EMHS," said Eileen Skinner, president and CEO of Mercy Health System of Maine.
With a definitive agreement signed, Mercy and EMHS will seek all necessary regulatory approvals, including a state certificate of need, federal antitrust clearance and the Vatican's blessing. The process is expected to take six to nine months.
"We are excited to be Mercy's choice as a strong, committed partner for the long term," said Michelle Hood, president and CEO of EMHS. "Adding Mercy to our system helps us continue our innovative work providing the needed infrastructure and system processes to improve the health status of the people of Maine."
The definitive agreement spells out the actions both health systems will take for Mercy to become an EMHS member. A local board will continue to oversee Mercy's operations according to the Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services.
During this approval process, representatives of both organizations will work together on identifying the best methods for integrating Mercy into EMHS.

In Storage
Object Type
'Court dress' was an exclusive and very ornate style of clothing worn by the aristocracy, the only people usually invited to attend at Court. The style of the robe is quite old-fashioned, and based on the 17th-century mantua.
Designs & Designing
The shell, the quintessential Rococo motif, constitutes the basis of the embroidery pattern. Leafy scrolls, latticed arcades and tassels are also featured, as well a profusion of realistically rendered flowers, including jasmine, morning glory and honeysuckle, peonies, roses, poppies, anemones, auriculas, hyacinths, carnations, cornflowers, tulips and daffodils. The pattern of the silver shells and scrolls has been arranged symmetrically at the hem, but the layout of the flowers, while balanced, does not match exactly on either side. This ensemble recalls a garment worn by the Duchess of Queensbury in 1740: 'her cloathes were embroidered upon white satin; Vine leaves, Convulvus and Rosebuds shaded after Nature ...'.
Materials & Making
Seven panels of ivory-ribbed silk make up the petticoat. The robings, sleeve cuffs and skirt of the mantua are embroidered in the same design, but were modified to fit their exact proportions.
The flowers are worked in a variety of coloured silks in satin stitch and french knots. Silver thread delineates the leaves and the non-floral components of the pattern. Some of the scrolls and border elements have a backing of parchment, for solidity and regularity of line. The tassels and bases of the shells have been thickly padded underneath. Varying the height of the padding under the embroidery of the silver leaves gives the surface of the stitching a rippled effect.

911 funding crisis nears
County seeks solutions
The fees local police, fire and emergency districts pay for 911 services are poised to skyrocket next summer, if officials can't find a solution to the funding crisis."The problem 911 is facing is that revenue has decreased during the recession and is not sufficient to maintain the current operations model," said County Administrator Jeff Rasmussen.
The state's 911 operations are primarily funded by a tax on any circuit or device capable of accessing 911 -- whether cellular, wireless or radio common carrier -- that amounts to 75 cents per month for each phone or device per subscriber.
Last year, the state collected $39,592,560 in taxes. About 58 percent of that total is distributed to the state's 240 cities and 36 counties, with each of the state's 50 Public Service Access Points receiving about 1 percent. Distribution is based on population, although no county receives less than 1 percent.
Since 2007, the net 911 tax revenue has dropped by about $40,000, while expenses for personnel and supplies have climbed by over $168,000.
In addition to the phone tax, funding to maintain 911 services comes from fees paid by the county, cities, fire districts, and ambulance district.
"In 2007-08, the 911 tax covered about 50 percent of the operation," Rasmussen said. "In 2012-13, it is projected to only cover 33 percent, and only 26 percent by 2016-17."
The Jefferson County 911 Dispatch Center currently employs six people, in addition to April Stream, the center's director, and has a budget of $705,825 for the 2011-12 fiscal year. Total revenue from the state and all user agencies only amounts to $602,903.
The agencies that pay the most for the use of 911 dispatch include: Jefferson County ($169,755); city of Madras ($90,503); Jefferson County Emergency Medical Services ($44,552); and Jefferson County Fire District ($29,701).
The cities of Culver and Metolius, the Three Rivers Fire District, and Portland General Electric all pay $6,000 annually, and the U.S. Forest Service, $2,500.
"To compound the problem, the 2011-12 budget is depleting all the reserves and in 2012-13, the fee increase necessary from the cities, fires districts, etc. will be a 50 percent increase," said Rasmussen.
"This would have the fees for the ambulance district go from $44,552 this year to $67,229 next year and project to be $102,000 in 2016-17," he said.
While the 911 tax is collected to provide for the 911 centers, the tax pays nothing toward dispatching emergency help.
"It would be nice if 911 could fund everything," said Stream. "When this started in the '80s, it was only to facilitate taking the 911 call. That's what the tax was put in for. Then it becomes a dispatching issue."
Besides taking calls and dispatching, the Jefferson County 911 Center serves as the backup for both Warm Springs and Prineville, enters data on stolen property, runaways, warrants and restraining orders in the Law Enforcement Date System, and for warrants and missing or endangered people, in the National Crime Information System, Stream pointed out.
"We're rare that we do all that," said Stream, who would like to see the county consider forming a 911 taxing district, as Deschutes County has done.
Other possible solutions for the funding problems include combining with one or two adjacent counties to provide the 911 and dispatch services, Rasmussen said.
"This could allow for some flattening of the expense curve by achieving savings on equipment, building costs, and administrative overhead," he said.
If the county combined with Crook County, which has nine employees, he believes the two counties could get by with a total of 11.5 employees.
"At the same time, a combined operation would have multiple communications officers on duty at the same time to handle peak call loads from any one county," he added.
City Administrator Mike Morgan, would like to see a more equitable distribution of the 911 tax collected by the state.
"Among other things, the 1 percent minimum county distribution should be based on the gross amount received by the state, not the diminished amount (58 percent)," he said.
"You would increase pretty significantly the amount that would go to the small jurisdictions. You do that, and it does not hurt the state."
As it stands, he said, the state leaves a couple percentages of the gross amount in the budget, "and every few years, they sweep those accounts."
Next week: Possible solutions, and response from 911 user agencies.

"While an immediate upturn in the auto industry is not expected, the worst may be behind us. Expectations of improvement in economic environment from the second half of 2014 along with potential interest rate cuts are likely to provide support to auto sales in the year ahead," global research firm Dun & Bradstreet said in a note. (Agencies) Latest News from Business News Desk
"We expect the deferred purchases to get converted into actual sales, mainly after the initial two quarters of the new year, owing to pick up in industrial activity and increase in infrastructure spending," it added.
This year witnessed broad-based slowdown in auto sales owing to sustained deceleration in economic activity and consequent weakness in consumer and business sentiment.
Growth in domestic automobile sales slackened to 1.2 per cent in 2013 (January-November), compared to growth of 6.2 percent during 2012 and 14 per cent in 2011.
The research firm expects the consumer sentiment to improve in rural areas, which would act as a positive trigger for certain segments and companies within the auto industry.
However, it said increasing competition is likely to keep margins under pressure.
It expects the light commercial vehicles, guided by small commercial vehicles, to witness strong growth in 2014 owing to replacement demand and improving demand from smaller cities.
For the passenger car vehicles, it anticipates a decline in diesel cars, due to the higher pricing of such cars.
"With the differential between petrol and diesel prices getting narrower, the coming year would witness the share of diesel cars to gradually decline. The higher prices of diesel vehicles will also act as a negative trigger," it said.
The report said the export environment is likely to be challenging with India signing non-tariff barriers and preferential duty agreements with certain countries.
"Exports are likely to further lose some steam in light of the non-tariff barriers and preferential duty agreements inked by EU with certain African and Latin American countries.
"The latest move would act as a deterrent for auto companies, who had begun to make strong inroads into these economies. Export environment for automobiles is expected to remain challenging in 2014," it added.

Pet Grass
(Elymus hispidus)
- Type: Annual
- Planting time: Spring, fall
- Features: Vibrant green blades that look great and attract pets
- Light: Full sun
- Soil: Fertile, moist but well drained
- Plant spacing: 9 inches
- Plant size: 6 to 12 inches tall
- Garden use: Grown for pets to chew
This grass is attractive to dogs and cats. They need a little grass in their diets, especially if they do not spend a lot of time outdoors, where they will often chew on whatever grass is available. This easy-to-grow grass is also called intermediate wheatgrass, but it is not the wheat from which bread flour is made. This is originally an Asian pasture grass that was introduced to the US many years ago for pasture and fodder. You can grow it in pots for your indoor pets, or plant it in beds outdoors for animals that spend time outside.
Some Bonnie Plants varieties may not be available at your local stores, as we select and sell varieties best suited to the growing conditions in each region.

500 Harborview Drive
Baltimore, MD 21230
(443) 682-8720
Today on a whim we decided to go out to lunch with our friend Sami who works at the restaurant next door to us. After handing him a pile of our Groupons and telling him to pick one, we arrived at the conclusion to hit up Sorso Cafe because it's located on the water. Today was another hot one and a casual lunch by the water was too appealing to pass up.
Sorso Cafe is located off Key Highway behind Federal Hill on the water. Parking was a little tricky to figure out but we managed to get a metered spot and then it was a short walk to the Cafe.
This place is pretty casual and inviting with a few outdoor tables and then a small amount of indoor seating. They serve gelato, paninis, wraps, wine and cheese platters. They have a breakfast menu as well. They also have some brownies and cookies wrapped up near the register. Kryptonite.
Sami ordered a Caprese and added prosciutto. Dave got the PLT (prosciutto lettuce and tomato) panini sans T. I ordered the Harborview wrap. The sandwiches came with either chips or an apple (I got chips, they got apples) and we each grabbed a bottle of soda and then I tacked on one of those alluring chocolate chip cookies.
Everyone was sitting outside and there wasn't an open table out there so we sat in the little dining room. As soon as the boys sandwiches arrived, we dug in. (theirs were grilled, mine was cold).
My wrap was delicious. It was grilled marinated chicken with crisp lettuce, pesto, diced tomato, and fresh mozzarella cheese. It was a really great mixture of flavors between the juicy tomato chunks, the mild flavor of the cheese and the sharp taste of the pesto. In mere minutes it was gone. I didn't even offer to share, then again, neither did my husband. The cookie was a bit of a disappointment, with a slight stale taste to it. However, the wrap made up for it.
Sami's had prosciutto, basil leaves, fresh mozzarella, tomato and pesto. The only complaint that he had was that the "prosciutto is a little too thick" which wasn't even really a complaint since it was so good. He said that when he bit into the basil leaf, it took him "to Heaven and back". Excellent.
Dave's was simple with prosciutto and lettuce with a drizzle of some sort of house sauce on it. I would have liked to try it, but when I took a break from mine his was gone. I can only assume he really enjoyed it.
We have another Groupon for this place and I do believe the next time we go back we'll be sampling their gelato.
As far as the non-food aspects go, the girls working the counter were really friendly and helpful. The food is inexpensive (sandwiches ranging between 6 and 8 dollars) and the atmosphere is really casual and fun. They had a few vegetarian options which is always nice to see, and the accommodated special orders without griping. This is a great place to duck into if you're out for a casual walk along the water.
We will definitely be going back. I give it 4 out of 5 noms.
Dave's 2 cents:
Other than having to park 2 blocks away (they have no customer parking, that we could find), pay a meter and walk, the experience was alright. The shop was extremely tight, I had to move out of the way about 8 times while I waited to order, but I am glad they had indoor seating.
The food was great, each dish comes with chips, apple or banana. Jenn got pissed that I didn't let her sample my P.L.T.
Sorry, the only thing in the world better than bacon, is thicker bacon.
I wouldn't put this in our Best of Baltimore (Sandwich Shop Category), but it got close.
