Mid 20th century design and elegance in a slender 13 1/2" wine decanter. It is tapered from a wider bottom to a slender top, and the crystal stopper mirrors the curve of the lower portion. The etched and incised design is both floral and geometric.
The decanter is 11" without the stopper, 13 1/2" with the stopper in place. The diameter at the base is 5 1/2"
Excellent condition! I find no damages or issues at all.

These non-English terms for "race-mixing" are not considered as offensive as "miscegenation", although they have historically been tied to the caste system (Casta) that was established during the colonial era in Spanish-speaking Latin America.
Some groups in South America, however, consider the use of the word mestizo offensive because it was used during the times of the colony to refer specifically to the mixing between the conquistadores and the indigenous people.
Chili, which some condsider Texas's state dish, was unknown in Mexico and derived from the ample use of beef in Texan cooking.
"Refried beans" are a mistranslation of the Mexican dish frijoles refritos, which actually means well-fried beans...
Tex Mex restaurants first surfaced ouside the southwest region in cities with large Mexican populations. Diana Kennedy, noted Mexican culinary expert, is credited for elevating this common food to trendy fare. But it is foreign in that its inspiration came from an alien cuisine; that it has never merged into the mainstream of American cooking and remains alive almost solely in the region where it originated..." ---Eating in America, Waverly Root & Richard de Rochemont [William Morrow: New York] 1976 (p. A combination of the words "Texan" and "Mexican," first printed in 1945, that refers to an adaptation of Mexican dishes by Texas cooks.
It is difficult to be precise as to what distinguishes Tex-Mex from true Mexican food, except to say that the variety of the latter is wider and more regional, whereas throughout the state and, now, throughout the entire United States." ---Encyclopedia of American Food and Drink, John F. 325) [1950s] "Mexican restaurants, whos popularity coincided with the arrival of large numbers of Mexican immigrants after 1950, have for the most part followed the from and style of what is called "Tex-Mex" food, and amalgam of Northern Mexican peasant food with Texas farm and cowboy fare.
It's very refreshing after reading all of the propaganda from many of the other agencies.
I've traveled through Russia several times, and have learned many of the truths you list on your site first hand.
I would like to thank Elena Petrova and her web-site for the truth about Russian women.
Today, the mixes among races and ethnicities are diverse, so it is considered preferable to use the term "mixed-race" or simply "mixed" (mezcla).
In Portuguese-speaking Latin America (i.e., Brazil), a milder form of caste system existed, although it also provided for legal and social discrimination among individuals belonging to different races, since slavery for blacks existed until the late 19th century.
I created this website in 1999 to provide western people insight to the recent phenomenon of "Russian brides" from the Russian woman's point of view.

Rugged Scarpa hiking boots size 7 / 41, hardly used. Not a current model but similar to Scarpa Delta GTX (£200) or Scarpa SL Activ (£245). Mainly leather with Gortex lining, soles hardly worn.
(I'm using Scarpa Terra GTX boots which are the most comfortable boots I've ever had, but these are lighter and a bit more flexible/softer than the ones for sale.) Unlike my softer boots, I would guess that these boots for sale would be suitable for crampons.
Bargain at £30 before I put them on Gumtree!

These drugs are essential for PCT, but not the only ones. Hi, Max better to take arimidex EOD , and tamoxifen you can start on the last week of your roid cycle. Effects that are easy to keep under control taking Nolvadex or Proviron. Adjust your diet to your new regimen. L Thomas August 12, at
Join Date Feb Posts 1, Don't bother with Sustanon! This may be a waste of money, you migh not be abel to grow fast enough to take advantage of the extra anabolic capabilities this offers on your first cycle!
I do train, and i do eat well though i just can't gain the weight. I posted a board, and asked for advise, and some help before i got myself into anything i wanted to make sure that i had done the research. I got alot is valuable information from all you guys thanks.. I'm 5' 10" lbs yeh i'm too skinny i eat 6 times a day, train 4 days a week.
Join Date Mar Posts First cycle was 15 amps of Durateston I took every 5 days. My weight went from lbs to lbs. My bench went from x1rep to x1rep. Then after my weight went to lbs, and bench went down to X1rep. I should have took clomid but I was too stupid. Now on my 3rd cylce, Im getting tabs of Dbol.. I wanna blast up in weight and strength. Is it worth it????????? Join Date Oct Posts The late Dan Duchaine once said that "if you can't grow on Deca and D-bol, you just can't grow.
If you have that much trouble gaining weight it will be very difficult to keep your gains though. Join Date Apr Location B. Join Date Dec Posts My first cycle was the following: I was hooked from there. I went from to lbs in about 7 weeks. People start looking at you about three times when you walk by, F??? I jsut put my skinny buddy on it. My 1st cycle--currently in week 6 30mg dbol ed mg deca mg test ethanate Probably adding Winny to the end weeks 50ed Started at lbs and now at lbs half way through week 6 Eat Sleep and Train- And best of luck to you.
Join Date Dec Location arizona Posts Maye you guys can hlp me with my beginner cycle?! I'm also new to the board 21 years of Age. I weigh lbs, benching lbs x 10 steady 6ft tall.
I wanna pack like lbs of muscle. Therefore I will create my cycle based on mass gaining and water retention elements. How about androstene, or HMB?? Sorry for the length in my first post. I promise to not mke them all as dense. For a slower release of testosterone choose Testosterone Cypionate or Enanthate. Be aware that in order to get rid of it from your body you will need to wait for up to 2 weeks.
On the other hand, Testosterone Propionate gets into action much faster and will be out of your body in just 2- 3 days. If we take into consideration that you will have to pin it on an every other day basis in equal doses, then you may want to lay it off.
Regarding dosage, most men will find a dosage of mgmg per week very rewarding. Effects that are easy to keep under control taking Nolvadex or Proviron.
Very effective oral for building muscle mass, best to add to your Testosterone cycle within the first 6 weeks of the cycle. The most common dosage of Dianabol for beginners is about 25mgmg every day. Liver toxic like other orals, also can cause androgenic and oestrogenic related effects as in the case of Testosterone use.
Winstrol offers much steadier gains than Dianabol, with no risk of oestrogenic side effects at all. By running Winstrol you will get a more defined look due to lack of water retention. Winstrol can be used alone, but also deliver great results when mixed with Testosterone. The best time to add Winstrol to a test cycle is within the last 6 weeks of use in a 50mg dosage per day. Quite similar to Testosterone, Deca has taken in a dosage of mg weekly provides almost same results, but with much less androgenic side effects.
However, close attention has to be paid to progestin-related side effects. This can be done through the use of aromatase inhibitors, such as Arimidex.
Anavar is a quite versatile steroid, serving both cutting and muscle building goals. It all depends on the other AAS it is stacked with. Anavar is known for not damaging the liver in a degree other orals do so that its consumption can be prolonged for up to 10 weeks. A beginner Anavar cycle starts with mg daily, but no more than mg per week, and is best to be used in combination with one of the Testosterone esters.
Post cycle therapy is the part of using steroids you will have to make use of whether you are on your first of 10th cycle already. It starts after the use of synthetic hormone is finished and is meant to speed up the process of natural testosterone production.
All this is because during a cycle our natural testosterone production is simply shut down and body needs help to begin producing it again. All of them help to prevent damage effects when coming off steroids - gyno, loss of gains - but also successfully help to boost testosterone production. These drugs are essential for PCT, but not the only ones.
You will need other products too to control high blood pressure, cholesterol levels , liver protection drugs in case of oral steroids and others. But as long as you take at least Arimidex and Nolvadex as shown in the steroid cycles samples above, you should be fine. However, the state of things changes when you step to next level of steroid consumption. As a newbie to steroid use, your best friend is Testosterone large esters, such Testosterone Cypionate, Enanthate and Propionate in a dosage of mg a week.
They are easy to use, provide great results, keep you safe and what is not less important, are out of your body faster than other compounds. This one trait is essential in case you face side effects, you will be safe by simply ceasing their usage. What other steroids fit you as a newbie? Dianabol, Winstrol, Anavar, and Deca used alone or in combination with one of the testosterone esters. All of them can help you pack on muscle mass, but not unless you adjust your diet and workout program to your new goals.
Kamlesh — try to read our ebook — http: Can you answer my question. I hope you can help me My question are:. My weight is lbs, 26 Years old and my question is: What do you recommend to me as a beginner? Testosterone Enanthate or something different? Use the money and buy more anavar.

Most likely you need to carefully go through the paper path and look for the locations of all the paper path sensors.
You probably have one stuck on the frame or a spring came off the flag and its not actuating properly.
Follow the paper path carefully from the feed rolls out to the exit. I am sure you will find a sensor not operating properly.
Actuate every one and make sure they have no resistance and that they return to the proper position.

Why Chatbots Are An Entrepreneur's Best Friend
Instead of seeing AI as a replacement for human endeavors, try to see it as an enhancement of them.
In the past five years, I've seen more software obituaries than I care to think about: Limo Magic, Limo Pro, Vertical Solutions, Apsley Bolton Computers, GTN Technologies, Alternative Management Technologies, and a slew of others. Why couldn't these companies survive our marketplace?
I knew the principals of the above companies. None of them entered this industry with any intent to de-fraud it or go out of business. In fact, quite the contrary. They all invested huge dollars to help fill a need for what they considered to be a fresh, growing marketplace.
Each company spent a minimum of two years in R&D, where no revenues come in and only big expenses are paid out. They sought out the appropriate affiliations and joined both national and local chauffeured transportation associations. Finally, they launched aggressive marketing campaigns to introduce their products to us.
I'm confident these companies had no hidden agendas, despite all the accusations I've heard. What do I believe is the real truth why software companies struggle to stay afloat? Money.
From what I've seen, most companies are small and entrepreneurial by nature. They are not backed by big firms. Software development is a capital intensive business. Most of these companies are under capitalized from the get-go. They're not big like Microsoft, which can withstand the test of time. Once it's time to bring a product to the market and start making money back, software companies find they've underestimated the purchasing power within our industry.
We are still very much a cottage industry. A $5,000 software package is a HUGE investment for the vast majority of us. However, that is deemed small potatoes to the software industry. The investment in software R&D can cost as much as $1 million. Think about the volume of sales a developer must make to recoup his start-up costs!
There's another challenge most software companies fail to realize until it's too late. We are not "techies." Automation is still very new to us. We need a great deal of technical support after a software system is installed. Support costs money. There is zero return when support is provided, hence this also adds pressure to the developer's bottom line.
The problem I see with operators who purchase these packages is that many believe software is magic. They think it will solve all their front office problems. Not so. Software can build efficiencies and streamline an operation, but can only help the operator if he or she fully understands what they're asking it to do. I was once told that "You can have the easiest accounting program in the world, but if you don't understand the fundamentals of bookkeeping, the software is going to be difficult to use."
When a software company disappears, it leaves a negative impact on the industry. The biggest losers are the company's customers. The software vendors that remain in the marketplace are left to mop up the mess. They have to work extra hard to overcome negative PR and pessimism. LCT forfeits a valuable advertiser and show exhibitor, the NLA surrenders a member, and so on.
We owe it to ourselves to be more astute businessmen and women, or technology will continue to be crippling instead of beneficial to our industry. If you're looking to automate or upgrade your current computer system, be sure your vendors are well established and financially secure.
Also, I recommend that you learn computer fundamentals and popular applications, such as EXCEL, ACT!, ACCESS, and WORD, before you buy a custom software program. Think of it in terms of buying a vehicle. You can get it loaded with all the amenities, but if you don't know how to drive, you're stuck with an expensive piece of equipment that doesn't work.
