Body Building is one of the most popular sports nowadays for several reasons. First, more and more people are hitting the gym in order to achieve the body they aspire to have.
More often than not, these people aspire to have a body that is characterized by large and well-defined muscles, especially around the chest area and the arms, which gives them broader shoulders and a slimmer waist.
This sport is not only limited to men, however; it is becoming a trend among women as well. For them, however, they generally believe that having a trim, and very lean core is something that looks best for them.
Among men and women, it is common knowledge that exercise and proper diet is the key to achieving the body figure they both want to have. There are, however, supplements which they could take in conjunction with proper diet and exercise.
These supplements somehow help them to achieve their body goals quicker and easier. While there are several of these supplements in the market, one of the most popular among people who do body building or hit the gym is protein powder.
What is Protein Powder?
Protein Powder is a supplement made of whey protein, which is believed to be one of the best sources of Protein, the nutrient which is primarily responsible for muscle growth and build-up, which is what happens during exercise.
The healing and repair process the muscles undergo is greatly aided by Protein Powder, and thus allows you to gain muscle weight and bulk up faster than you would without the help of any form on supplement whatsoever.
Protein Powder Comparison
There are several brands of protein powder out in the market nowadays, and not all of them are made equally. While the standard or key ingredient found in them is Whey Protein, a lot of brands tend to take this up a notch with several additives.
This article aims to compare each of the most popular brands for protein powder, in order for you to determine which one is best for your body building, nutritional, and fitness needs.
YM: Pro JYM
In our protein powder comparison, one of the best brands out in the market is the YM: Pro Jym. Its supported goal is primarily to build muscles, and its main ingredient is Whey Protein Isolate. It has the best taste, as it is made with science and topnotch-quality ingredients.
A 24g scoop of the YM: Pro JYM Protein Powder is composed of 7g of Micellar Casien, 7.5g of Whey Protein Isolate, 5.5g of Casein, 1.5g of Whey, and 2.5g of Egg Albumin. The Pro JYM also has added nutrients, such as creatine, glutamine, BCAAs, and betaine, all of which, could contribute to muscle building.
Dymatize: ISO100 Whey Powder
The Dymatize brand is primarily composed of Hydrolyzed Whey Protein, and is also great for building muscles. Each scoop of 25g is composed of Protein, 2.7g of L-Leucine, and 5.5g of BCAAs. This Whey Powder has received rave reviews from a lot of users because of its great taste, and has up to 10 great flavors available.
Moreover, it goes through a cross-flow micro filtration and a purifying process that enables drinkers to take the purest protein as possible. Given that it is of the Hydrolyzed Protein Type, you are guaranteed fast absorption and digestion.
Syntha-6 by BSN
This is the Ultra-Premium Protein Matrix, which takes pride in having a taste which is akin to that of Milkshake. Its primary ingredient is Whey Protein.
Each serving comprises of 22g of protein, and their SYNTHA-6 formula allows you to take in fatty acids and amino acids as well. Apart from that, unlike other brands, the Syntha-6 gives you a dose of fiber, thus making it suited for several diet and fitness programs.

Market Abuse Regulation is a wide-ranging and insightful analysis of the market abuse regime and the applications of the regulations in the UK and European Union. It provides detailed discussion of the implementation and interpretation of the regulation, the conduct of investigations, the defences and appeals available against a finding of market abuse, and overlapping United States regulation.
The new edition explains and evaluates the changes introduced by the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive and the Market Abuse Directive, the UK Financial Services Act 2012 and the implementation of the Regulation on Wholesale Market Integrity and Transparency, which have resulted in dramatic expansion of the coverage of EU market abuse regulation. It addresses the regulation of additional financial instruments, the expansion to include new markets and trading facilities, and changes to the coverage of commodity derivatives and physical commodities.
It discusses the dramatic changes to the format of regulation as a result of the restructuring of UK regulators; as well as the addition of new EU supervisory bodies with revised powers over national regulation within the EU. Beyond the EU, it discusses international protocols and treaties which have also added to the regulatory structure.

Innobaby will be at the New York Baby Show on May 14 and 15, at Pier 92.
The nation's biggest show for expectant and new families, the New York Baby Show is a wonderful family-friendly mega-event featuring everything to do with maternity, baby, and toddler. From top products to trusted parenting experts, the New York Baby Show welcomes thousands of expectant and new parents from New York City, the Tri-State area, and beyond!
Tickets to the New York Baby Show are $30 per family, and $20 per individual.
For someone unfamiliar with Innobaby, how would you describe the company's mission and core offerings?
Innobaby was founded by two mothers with a passion to learn, create, and solve problems. Innobaby delivers high-quality, smart, juvenile solutions that are safe, innovative, and durable because, as parents, they knew that was what they wanted in products. Innobaby offers smart solutions for on-the-go challenges, such as preparing and packing food. Innobaby's snack containers are stacking, interlocking, nesting, adjustable, and expandable to travel compact and organized. The brand's innovative AquaHeat system allows parents to warm food or bottles on-the-go with ease – it's BPA-free, non-toxic and safe for feeding. The product line has continued to grow with solutions that meet the changing needs of smart parenting.
What is the background of Innobaby? When was it started, and how has it evolved since then?
In 2000, Jee & Kristen met through their husbands who were college roommates and together entered the world of motherhood and play dates. While sharing their motherhood experiences and challenges, Jee and Kristen realized that they both had desires to do something more and shared a level of enthusiasm and spirit to create what is now Innobaby.
Jee and her baby were always on-the-go, leaving her frustrated with the limited selection of formula and snacks she had to carry. Her formula dispensers spilled & mixed contents while snacks got crushed in zipper bags. She wanted an all-in-one container that keeps contents separate, crush-free, and that stacked or interlocked to save space and accessible. Her needs were later solved with launch of Packin' SMART ®.
Kristen designed a crib sheet that is easy to change as she was challenged with the task of changing crib sheets throughout the day. While struggling with a crib sheet in the middle of the night while trying to tend to a crying baby, she decided to create a sheet that is easier to use. With a borrowed sewing machine, she learned how to sew and created her first prototype: waterproof, easy to change, gentle on skin and safe. Her needs were later solved with launch of Sleepin' SMART™ (Crib Sheet Topper).
With the birth of the Crib Sheet Topper, Jee and Kristen launched Innobaby in 2006. Within the first six hours into the two-day event, they had sold out their original 200 units and took orders for the remainder of the show. They realized how many parents shared same challenges and were glad to offer solutions that could benefit everyone.
Today, our office is based in the suburbs of Chicago, Illinois. Our award-winning products are sold through various retail channels within U.S. and overseas. We are a family-owned business, we love working and we enjoy creating our ideas and visions in to reality.
What are the most popular and/or newest products and services from Innobaby?

Pronouncer: Covacevich is Cah-voss-ah-vich
Web site: http://beach.k-state.edu/
Friday, Jan. 22, 2010
MANHATTAN -- The work of versatile Kansas artist Sue Jean Covacevich will be on display at Kansas State University's Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art Jan. 29-May 2.
"Following the Sun: The Art of Sue Jean Covacevich, 1905-1998" will survey the work of Covacevich, who established herself as a dynamic artist and art educator in south-central Kansas after spending more than a decade working and teaching in Mexico.
Covacevich worked in a variety of mediums, including painting, printmaking, mosaic, sculpture and stained glass. The subjects of her art ranged from the Kansas landscape to world monuments.
Most of Covacevich's career was spent in Winfield. She also studied art with Birger Sandzen at Lindsborg's Bethany College. Her instructor became a lifelong friend, guiding her to Mexico City, where she moved in 1932. While in Depression-era Mexico, Covacevich drew inspiration from the country's people, architecture, and folklore and from interactions with figures such as muralist Diego Rivera. She taught at Mexico City's American School before personal struggles brought her home to Kansas in the mid-1940s. She then bloomed as one of that community's most creative forces, establishing the art department at Southwestern College among other professional programs.
Exposure to Mexico's great public murals led Covacevich to accept numerous public commissions in Kansas, including a 63-foot mural for the CornerBank building in Winfield and stained glass windows for the First Christian Church in McPherson. The artist's time in Mexico also produced a wanderlust that propelled her to such places as Russia and the Middle East after the 1950s.
"Following the Sun: The Art of Sue Jean Covacevich, 1905-1998" is sponsored in part by Teresa Covacevich Grana; CornerBank, Winfield; Sue Ellen and Graham Setliff; Ted and Pam Van Dyk; Terry Van Dyk; Mr. and Mrs. Michael Cornfeld, Heritage Investors Management Corporation, Bethesda, Md.; and the Winfield Publishing Company. The exhibition catalogue was funded by K-State alumna Marie Williams Shipley, Lawrenceville, Ga.
For more information, contact the Beach Museum of Art at 785-532-7718 or drop by the museum on the southeast corner of the K-State campus at 14th Street and Anderson Avenue. Free visitor parking is available next to the building. Normal museum hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday; and noon to 5 p.m. Sundays. The museum is closed Mondays.

Holding a classroom debate is an effective way to improve the speaking, researching, reading, writing, reasoning and persuasion skills of your students. Many students find debating very enjoyable, especially when they're debating on a topic that's close to their heart. By conducting classroom debates, you are preparing your students for the future, where they may have to argue professionally with their colleagues. A debate is a medium for students to express how they feel and to give them the confidence that others value what they have to say.
Preparing for the Debate
Help select a topic that is popular among your students. Think about topics that they are consistently arguing and challenging. For example, "Should students be allowed to eat gum in school?" Let them vote upon a topic that the majority of the students are passionate about.
Allow each student to choose the side. Are they for it or are they against it? Help the students list benefits and costs for their side.
Give your students at least one class period to research. Ensure that your students choose strong, relevant facts to support their opinion.
Brought to you by Sciencing.com
Brought to you by Sciencing.com
Decide on some rules for the debate. Determine the length of the debate, how long each student will have to speak and any topics that students must avoid.
During the Debate
Select someone to monitor the debate or assume the role yourself. The moderator's job is to ensure the debate stays friendly and that everybody has a chance to participate.
Separate the students into two teams: one that is for the proposition and one that is against the proposition.
Allow students to state their opinions. When students wish to speak, they must raise their hand. The moderator will then call on them to speak.
Pick the side that wins based on how well the speakers voiced their opinions. Think about which team had the most convincing argument, whether the students built upon what the previous speaker said and which team knew their topic well.
- If there is likely to be too many students that are for or against the topic, don't let them pick sides. Try writing "For" or "Against" on small pieces of paper. Place these scraps of paper into a container and pass them out. Make sure the amount of students on each side are as close as possible, if not 100% even.

The mission of the Cascade Chamber of Commerce is: to promote a vibrant business climate in the Cascade area; to serve our members, the community and visitors; and to foster a cohesive working relationship among political, educational and civic organizations locally and regionally.
Whether you are an established business, an emerging company or a friend of the Chamber we would like to thank you for the continued support to our great city of Cascade. Throughout the year, the Cascade Chamber hosts many events that bring visitors to the area; but we can't do it without your ideas, comments, participation or financial support. Help strengthen the community that you and your business call home by joining the chamber today!
The key to the Cascade's appeal is that, with all of its attractions and recreational opportunities, the region is also bounded by vast domains of designated wilderness. At any time of year it is possible to enjoy the amenities offered in any of the communities for a part of the day and then, within a brief span of time, to find oneself in the splendid isolation of pristine forests and towering mountains relatively untouched by human habitation. This is more challenging during the winter season, but the grand sense of solitude that one can achieve is even more complete.
We are all in this together. Sometimes we hear people say, "I don't think the Chamber does anything for me." Years ago a gentleman who owns a small one person shop responded to this comment with, "I don't belong to the Chamber because of what it can do for me; I belong for what I can do for it, and in the process, for my community." Whatever we do as a group benefits the entire community and therefore every business.

Tmatt posted last week on the saga of a lesbian softball coach whose team was kicked out of an adult women's league by a Southern Baptist megachurch. He pointed out that "too many gaps and unanswered questions" characterized the coverage by The Commercial Appeal in Memphis, Tenn. If you missed that post, please read it first or this one won't make any sense.
This week, the same newspaper ran a follow-up story based on a video of pastor Steve Gaines discussing the situation at the Bellevue Baptist Church on Sunday.
Here's the top of the report:
Bellevue Baptist Church pastor Steve Gaines told his congregation Sunday that any church leader found in serious sin would have been prohibited from coaching in the church's athletic leagues, just as a woman who acknowledged she is gay.
"You have to have certain standards for leadership," Gaines said in a video posted on the Internet. "Leadership is not a right. Leadership is a privilege."
The pastor's comments came less than a week after The Commercial Appeal reported that a local women's softball team was not allowed to play in Bellevue's league after church officials asked Jana J. Jacobson, the team's representative, if she was gay. Jacobson acknowledged her sexual orientation and was told her team could not play in the league.
Gaines, in a 2 1/2-minute video from a Sunday service, addressed the matter saying the church was not trying to portray their league as perfect. Rather, he said, the decision dealt with the leadership role and the person representing the team.
"We all know that every coach is a sinner, every player is a sinner. We understand all of that," he said. "It's not that we are trying to have a sin-free ball league."
From a theological standpoint, I was struck by the reference in the lede to "serious sin." I wondered if the pastor used that terminology, because it would indicate varying levels of sin -- as opposed to all sin being equal in God's eyes. I went back and listened to the video a second time, and the pastor did not use that adjective. He did, however, give examples of other sins that might cause a coach to lose privileges in the church league:
He noted if another coach was currently an adulterer, cohabiting with someone, hooked on pornography, or participating in "the sin of homosexuality," they would suffer the same fate.
"We cannot, in good conscience, put that person in a leadership position," he said. "So, that's the decision, and why it was made."
Unfortunately, many -- make that most -- of the questions raised in Tmatt's original post remain unanswered. A big reason for that is that the church, for whatever reason, has refused to discuss the situation -- in the original story and the follow-up. While the church's cooperation should not be a prerequisite for fair coverage, it does make the reporter's job much more difficult.
"No comment" may mean that the church does not believe it can receive fair treatment in the media. Or "no comment" may mean that the church believes that it mishandled this matter and does not think it can improve public perception by talking about it. Really, I have no idea what "no comment" means, except that it makes the church look like it has something to hide.
The pastor's statement on the lesbian coach indicates that everyone who coaches in the softball league is a "church leader." If the church were talking, or if the newspaper were enterprising enough to send out a reporter to the women's adult softball league to poke around, it would be interesting to know: How many teams are there? What percentage of players are non-Bellevue members? Are all of the coaches Bellevue members? If not, has anyone checked into the leadership credentials of the other non-member coaches?
Also, I'd be curious to know what the other players and teams think of the lesbian coach's team being prevented from playing. Do other players and teams support the church's stance? Or is there a diversity of opinions? Obviously, there was enough discussion among church members that the pastor felt compelled to address the situation from the pulpit.
Finally, it would be interesting to know: How competitive is this church softball league? And, for that matter, how competitive is the team that drew notice before play started -- and obviously prompted someone to alert church leaders to the coach's sexual orientation? Is there any chance that this snub has as much to do with sports as sex?
I'm just asking. It's too bad the church isn't answering.

I had some problems with the download, it just gets stuck on the pop-up box, I'll try again later I guess...
Thank you!! I'm downloading it now, I look forward to it.
I'd be honoured to join your group. and thank you so much for offering to send me a copy - it's really kind of you. I hope I actually finish mine and can send it to you.
Either would be amazing, I'd love to own a copy, because it would be so personal, but I live in England, and it may cost you lots to send it over here, and I wouldn't want to trouble you, so honestly, whichever is easier for you. I'm actually recording an album/EP of my own at the moment, we could always exchange them? Likewise though... I'm really bad with finishing things....
How do I get hold of a copy of your CD? It sounds really great
Hello new friend!
Thank you, and no. I haven't.

"The Created World Came Out From the Mouth of Ra"...
Here is an interesting, slightly off-topic video called "the Occult Secrets of Grammar" which focuses on some of the Egyptian philosophies and sciences. I say that it is only slightly off-topic, and to the point where my own understandings have led me, slightly off-topic sounds about right, if it is even off-topic at all. For instance, I know from first-hand that the Falcon (an Egyptian symbol of Ra, the "Sun King", or the "Great Sun") was also an important symbol in Native Algonquian traditions, basically symbolizing the same thing. This is not widely understood though. Native Nations here on Turtle Island are the "Children of the Sun."
I have also come across a stone depiction in my area of what I can only say to be "Kek", who was the androgynous frog/serpent fertility symbol of the "world's before." Now, this stone may not have been known locally as Kek (the name of the Egyptian deity), but in some way that we do not still fully understand, the stone found in New England looks like a representation of Kek, or probably something just like Kek. For some reason you can't go wrong with it- one only needs to look at it in such light. It took me over a year before I realized the stone I was looking at in my area was just like a representation of Kek. I kept asking myself if the stone was a frog, or a snake, or somehow both? Then, I learned of the Egyptian Kek and I threw my hands up and said "how is this possible." (Note: I need to do a future post on this stone.)
Than I remembered that the same geological upheavals that shook the Northeast region of North America 5,000 years ago also had an impact on other areas around the Atlantic sea-board. For instance, it is during this time that Martha's Vineyard and other islands split off the mainland of New England and that ocean levels rose. It is also this same 5,000 year period in the Atlantic that sunk the island of Crete in the Mediterranian and put an end to the Minoan civilization who were known to have connections with Egypt. The volcanoes of Iceland and the (sometimes) active volcanoes on some of the islands in the Bahamas are remnant volcanic activities from this period of 5,000 years ago. This could fit in well with Plato's account of the sinking of Atlantis is we are to look at his accounting of the submergence of this land in light of Lunar months (from the time of Plato), which the ancient Greeks may have counted in rather than our modern year. Also, at this 5,000 year time-line one sees the proliferation of the Neolithic culture all over the world, erecting megaliths such as Stone Henge, (as well as the proliferation of the Bronze Age) seemingly overnight, and there is no satisfactorily academic explanation for any of this unless if we put the sunken land of Atlantis into the equation, taking seriously the accounts which Plato describes in his works Timaeus and Critaeus". There could have been earlier stone-building cultures for tens of thousands of years still.
I think that the megalithic cultures go back to the Native civilizations and cultures. That they are the great "lost ones" in this wisdom tradition. For instance, the stone-works and pyramids of Egypt go back before dynastic times in Egypt. In other words, the proliferators of the Egyptian culture and the megalith building in Egypt goes back thousands of years before dynastic times, to a darker, more Native race, "the Children of the Sun". The later Egyptians mixed and learned from these people. The empire was later corrupted by the Amun-priesthood, and Amunhotep IV (changing his name to Pharaoh Akhnaton and promoting Aton-ism) tried to give Egypt back to her people, too little too late, the corruption was already too wide-spread. There will never be another leader in world history like him. In some strange way the Algonquian people, and probably all people of the Eastern Seaboard and especially going down into Yucatan, kept the original teachings- it's like it stayed in the state that Egypt had gone through before dynastic times, when Native people were proliferating these teachings and knowledge, when the philosophy, religion and movement of the "Children of the Sun" was still in a high (pure) state. I can find no other explanation why I would come across a stone in the American Northeast that seemingly depicts Kek, while Kek is also depicted in the Egyptian culture, actually having it's roots in the proto-Egyptian culture thousands of years prior, and that is where I think you will find the seemingly confounding cultural parallels. The Atlantic was also more navigable in those times, which is a straightforward geological fact.
I have even seen collapsed stone tri-lathons in New England. And I still have to get some pics of the pyramids in Holliston- they are much like some of the earthen/stone mounds I have shown before, but much more distinctly pyramid-shaped, surrounded by what is now moat-like swamp.
Well, we are all speaking English today. So enjoy the video below, slightly off-topic about Egyptian wording (whirling the world) and spells (just over 9 mins):

This August 2007 accident report is provided by the National Transportation Safety Board. Published as an educational tool, it is intended to help pilots learn from the misfortunes of others.
Aircraft: Piper Super Cub.
Location: Anaktuvuk Pass, Alaska.
Injuries: None.
Aircraft damage: Substantial.
What reportedly happened: The commercial pilot was attempting to land landing the tundra tire-equipped, tailwheel airplane at an unimproved, off-airport site. During the base leg of the approach for landing, the engine lost power. The pilot initiated a emergency descent. The airplane collided with terrain.
The airplane's owner reported that he had observed the preflight inspection, and watched the pilot sump the fuel tanks, finding a small quantity of water in the tanks. While inspecting the airplane after the accident, the owner said he found water in the airplane's gascolator, carburetor, and fuel lines. He said the airplane was fueled from drums with filters, and it had rained during the preceding days. He said he suspected water contaminated fuel was the cause of the engine stoppage. After refueling the airplane with clean fuel, the engine started and ran without any problems.
Probable cause: The pilot's inadequate preflight inspection, which resulted in a loss of engine power during approach due to water contaminated fuel.

The United States International Trade Commission (ITC) today made negative determinations in its reconsideration of earlier Commission affirmative determinations in countervailing duty and antidumping duty investigations involving imports of ferrosilicon from Brazil, China, Kazakhstan, Russia, Ukraine, and Venezuela.
Chairman Lynn M. Bragg, Vice Chairman Marcia E. Miller, and Commissioners Carol T. Crawford, Jennifer A. Hillman, Stephen Koplan, and Thelma J. Askey found that a U.S. industry was neither materially injured nor threatened with material injury by reason of imports of ferrosilicon from Brazil, China, Kazakhstan, Russia, Ukraine, and Venezuela that the Department of Commerce determined were being sold in the United States at less than fair value, and those from Venezuela that were being subsidized, at the time of the Commission's original investigations.
The Commission will communicate its negative determinations to the U.S. Department of Commerce by August 20, 1999.
On April 28, 1998, the Commission received a request to review its affirmative determination as it applied to imports of ferrosilicon from Brazil in light of changed circumstances. The request concerned only imports from Brazil; however, as the alleged changed circumstances predominantly related to the domestic industry, the Commission solicited comments from interested parties on the possibility of initiating reviews of the outstanding orders from Brazil, China, Kazakhstan, Russia, Ukraine, and Venezuela as well. After reviewing the comments it received, the Commission determined on July 28, 1998, that certain of the alleged changed circumstances were sufficient to warrant review investigations. Among the issues that were briefed by the parties to the investigations was the fact that, between 1995 and 1997, two domestic producers pleaded guilty to conspiring to fix prices of commodity ferrosilicon products during certain portions of the periods of the Commission's original investigations, and a third producer, and an officer of that producer, were convicted of conspiring to fix prices of commodity ferrosilicon products during the periods of the Commission's original investigations. On May 21, 1999, the Commission issued a Federal Register notice indicating that it had decided to suspend its review investigations and reconsider the original Commission determinations. As a result of the reconsideration proceeding, the Commission has terminated the changed circumstances review.
The Commission's public report Ferrosilicon from Brazil, China, Kazakhstan, Russia, Ukraine, and Venezuela (Investigations Nos. 303-TA-23, 731-TA-566-570, and 731-TA-641 (Reconsideration)), USITC Publication 3218, August 1999) will contain the views of the Commission.
Copies of the report are expected to be available after September 10, 1999, by calling 202-205-1809 or from the Office of the Secretary, 500 E Street SW, Washington, DC 20436. Requests may also be faxed to 202-205-2104.

My typical discovery scenario:
We receive an alert that the transaction log is growing quickly. We are in Simple Recovery so I go to check it out. Log is already sized to 100GB and is at 80% capacity. I run the "Whats using my log files" script from SQL Server Central and see that Replication is enabled on the database.
We do not set up replication, and I don't think Replication can be done on SharePoint content db's as Replication is not supported (requires PK on all tables). This has been occurring on random servers (about 5 so far, all within the past three weeks) and it only occurs on Content Databases.
sp_removedbreplication does not always work in removing the Replication either. We have found that we need to run the sp_removedbreplication, change all db owners to SA and reset Recovery Mode to Simple to completely eradicate any vestiges of this bug.
How would Replication be enabling itself? We have never set up Replication on these servers. There is no evidence of any type of Replication other than the 'log_reuse_wait_desc' from the DMV query and log growth. Any help on this ghost would be appreciated!

Incompetence. Greed. Laziness. PR disasters. And thats just Jose Bosingwa. In a mere two seasons, QPR have stunk the Premier League out good and proper. Tony Fernandes has been left hanging from a branch like a bloated, beaten piñata, gleefully smashed by agents, managers and players. Today, Frankly Vulgar delivers it's damning personal judgment on some of the people have contributed to this sorry, sorry mess.
Park Ji-sung
Park is what I imagine Europe's capital cities were like in April 1945 – a fucking wreck. He isn't so much a footballer as he is the remains of one. Gone is the big game gyro, Fergie's go-to-hustler, his oxymoronically offensive shield. I remember watching Manchester United rout AC Milan 4-0 at Old Trafford. Park was the best player on the pitch. He smothered Andrea Pirlo, suffocated him, running him down into the pitch to the point where the Italian was entirely anonymous. It was a masterclass.
Watching Ji trot hopelessly around Loftus Road, misplacing five yard passes, having to make every second touch a tackle because he can no longer trap a ball, well, it would be sad – if he hadn't cost the best part of £5 million. The only optimism to be found in watching Park these days is that he actually proves the existence of the afterlife – he has become a ghost.
Verdict: Due a trip to the glue factory.
Esteban Granero
Since Euro 2008 football has had a distinctly Spanish flavour. Tiki-taka has become a layman's term. Fat, balding men with wheezy voices across Britain have had arguments in pubs about whether the Spanish style, the Barcelona piquancy of pressing and passing, is 'boring' or not. Well, regardless of its robotic bloodlessness, its a style that has until very recently been dominant.
I imagine Mark Hughes thought Esteban Granero would bring some of this confidence, this metronomic ability to terminate the opposition through a sheer tonnage of sideways passing, to QPR. In defeat against Manchester City and a draw to Chelsea, Granero made a positive impression: here was a player with pedigree, technique and awareness; an aristocratic footballer. Unfortunately what Granero lacked was balls. The man is a eunuch. As soon as things went sour at QPR this season Granero downed his tools. He started to mope around the pitch, unable to pass the ball without a sort of restless, tempo-sapping vacillation about the way he did it. He's a wallflower.
Verdict: If Blanche DuBois was a Spanish footballer.
Junior Hoilett
David 'Junior' Hoilett is what some of my friends would refer to as a 'sideman'. A wasteman. A dick. Last summer most QPR fans would have had young Junior at the apex of their transfer wish lists. We were giddy when he actually did sign – pacy, tricky , a provider of goals with an eye for the spectacular and he was young. Under 30. Not a big name but with the right management he could be.
We should have been questioning why he came to QPR when he could have played in front of 50,000 at St. James' or played Champions League football in Germany with Monchengladbach. The player who turned up at QPR was pathetic – fat, slow, lazy and uninterested. Another player treating the club as a kind of money teat to suck on. You can see it on the pitch. It means fuck all to him. The biggest insult I can pay him is that Shaun Wright-Philips is a better footballer than him.
Verdict: Chubby Little Loser.
Rob Green
Temporary unconsciousness, extreme agitation, lethargy, functional blindness or paralysis, completely unrealistic responses to the challenge of events, strange reversals of life-long patterns of behaviour – these are the symptoms of Rob Green Syndrome (RGS). Those who suffer with RGS should avoid situations that involve high stress or pressure. If you think you are suffering from RGS call 999 without hesitation. Even if the symptoms of RGS disappear whilst you are waiting for an ambulance, medical professionals advise that you should still go to hospital for treatment.
A friend of mine supports West Ham and insists that 'Greeno' is a very capable keeper. Well if thats the case I would like to know where on earth he has been hiding for the last 9 months.
Verdict: Shell Shocked.
Chris Samba
Chris Samba has all the attributes of a player that an idiot (Robbie Savage) thinks would make a good centre back. He's just a pretty big guy. He's also pretty slow, pretty cumbersome and pretty mediocre. Journalists still attribute ridiculous adjectives to Samba – I've seen him described this season as monstrous, commanding and imperious. The only thing 'monstrous' about Samba is his weekly wage – the joke doing the rounds on Sunday was the he missed that days dire derby suicide pact game against Reading because he dropped his wallet on his foot.
Verdict: Big Man Big Money Big Mistakes
Stéphane Mbia
Awwwwhh! Bless Stéphane Mbia! Look at him giving his shirt away after the game! To a little kid as well! Look how cute he is on Twitter!
Call me a cynic but if Mbia was anywhere near as good as his tooth-achingly saccharine PR then QPR wouldn't be looking forward to trips to Bournemouth, Barnsley and Burnley next season. Mbia was an excellent (if Wikipedia is to be believed) defender at Marseille. He has been a palpably below average midfielder for QPR. When Mbia signed from Marseille, Joey Barton was packed off the other way on loan. If you'd told me at the time that Marseille would get the better end of the deal I would have ridiculed you. Shows how much I know.
Verdict: His head is the same shape as a really big baked potato. Creepy.
Samba Diakité
Samba is that kid in your class at school. The quiet one who head-butted the door when he got angry. The one who stuck pencils in his nose until it bled and he started crying. Ralph Wiggum with a dash of the old ultra-violence. That kid.
Samba Diakité's QPR debut against Fulham last season was utterly extraordinary. He was on the pitch for about 30 minutes and in that time he made thirteen fouls. You could have made a case for each one of them being a red card. Samba has rarely featured this season and when he has he is just as inanely violent as he always is. Most of his time has been spent taking a few sabbaticals in a attempt to make peace with his (incredibly destructive) inner-self.
Verdict: A Chickenless Head
Bobby Zamora
QPR got seriously fleeced when they paid £6 million for this wanker. Bobby is better at moaning about shit than he is at playing football. He makes fancy dress enthusiast Julio Cesar look like a good PR guru.
QPR faced Reading at Loftus Road in November for what was already a relegation six-pointer. This is what Bobby had to say before the game. How clueless can you get? Also for most of the season Bobby has had a very sore hip. He shows this during games by puffing his cheeks out and rubbing it – just in case we didn't realise. It was impossible not to know about Bobby's mythical hip this season – Harry Redknapp never stopped going on about the bloody thing. 'If only' Bobby could be fit alongside Remy, then we would have a chance said 'Arry. No. 'If only' we had a manager sensible enough not to rely on a hypochondriac like Bobby. 'If only' we hadn't packed off the superb Heidar Helguson to Cardiff for a pittance. Bobby is half the man.
Verdict: The Walking Dead.
Jose Bosingwa
Some questions:
1. You're a multi-millionaire. You have a mono-brow. Why persist with it? Why?
2. How did a player this useless win the Champions League twice?
3. Why did Harry Redknapp keep playing him in the second half of the season? Nedum Onuoha and Fabio are better players and are also, importantly, not Jose Bosingwa.
4. Dear Jose why do you move like a really awkward crab when you shuffle up the touchline?
Verdict: BOOOO-singwa
The Board
It is very fashionable to blame QPR's predicament on Mark Hughes. He signed the players. He failed to motivate and prepare them properly. He was an awful manager. Nobody seems to blame Harry Redknapp. He ought to get some of the blame as well. With more games and as much money as Hughes he ended up presiding over just as much of a shambles. What both men have in common is the ability to blame anyone, anything, other than themselves. That and not being as good as their buddies in the media make them out to be.
I would call both of them incompetent. Then again, I would say that the board is incompetent for appointing them. Tony Fernandes is an embarrassment, his tweeting is an embarrassment his comparison of QPR to his shit Formula1 team was an embarrassment and his damaging, destabilising little meltdown was an embarrassment. He might actually be a decent man, a good bloke and all the other things his sycophantic legions of followers say he is. That wouldn't change the fact that his near two years in charge of QPR have resembled a forced death march towards the Football League.
Verdict: Fresh Meat in a Piranha Tank.

For an overview of Horse Show events happening during the Fair, click here.
For a more detailed schedule and the Prize List, click here.
Horses have always been a big part of the New Jersey State Fair.
Back in 1919, when horses were still more common than cars, the Branchville Riding Club formed. Since then, this event has evolved into the 10-day spectacular of the Sussex County Fair!
In fact, the Sussex County Fair was called the The Sussex County Horse Show from 1936 to 1940, and the Sussex County Farm and Horse Show from 1940 to 1999. The pairing between the Fair and the Horse Show started all the way back in 1923! The change of the name highlights the Fair's commitment to more than just horses, emphasizing other agriculture, community and youth development, and family fun!
The Horse Show consists of three rings that alternate shows beginning with quarter horses and followed by a variety of classes of the Sussex County Horse Show which pulls riders from a number of states.
For more information about the Horse Show including show schedules, go to the Horse Show web site.

From My Kitchen. Tiny Butter Rolls
Just in time for Thanksgiving and by special request I'm reposting my recipe for homemade dinner butter rolls. Everyone who has experienced them raves about them and wants to take some home. My daughter and son know I only make them twice a year because they take so long to make and it also adds to the sense of something special. Making them are a labor of love for me and there's such a sense of joy when the yeast has risen, all light an fluffy. Try this recipe! I love to cook and Thanksgiving cooking with it's savory and warmth is always an occasion I look forward to.
1 1/4 ounce package of dry active yeast
1 cup lukewarm water
1 egg, beaten well until smooth
3/4 cup of sugar
A pinch of salt
1 cup of milk, scalded
1 cup of butter, melted
1 cup melted butter (save for end process)
Dissolve yeast in lukewarm water. Whisk lightly. Add egg (already beaten), blend lightly. Add sugar, warm (not hot) milk, melted butter, a lot of love and blend. Knead in flour until the dough isn't sticky, then place on floured board. Butter large bowl and placed kneaded dough inside. Cover with towel, keep in warm area of kitchen for two hours or one hour if using rapid rise active yeast.
When doubled in bulk, smile because it means your dough did indeed rise! Lightly place fist into the risen dough and place on floured board. Knead lightly (over kneading makes the dough tough) on floured board and lightly roll out - do not flatten.
Use floured shot glass (for miniatures, my preference) or other circle shape cutter. Use melted butter (your preference), fold placing on cookie sheet (buttered of course).
Let rise in warm area in kitchen until fluffy (approx. another hour). Before baking, lightly brush tops with half and half or heavy cream for a bit of shine mixed with a splash of sugar and melted butter also brushed across cut dough.
Bake in preheated oven at 375, pay attention, keep the love flowing and don't lose track of time while these treats are in the oven.
Remove when golden (approximately 15 minutes depending on your oven, the key is to pay attention to all steps of the process) - Enjoy!

I get many letters from people who feel hopeless. Everyone has a different story, yet most have a lot in common. Many are from unbelievers but many are from believers too. They feel that life is not worth living. The reasons vary but usually they are health issues, money issues or relationship issues. Sometimes it is just that they don't feel fulfilled and happy.
I believe that society has caused much of this. We have taught kids for years that they are the most important person in the universe. We have taught them that there is no concrete right and wrong, they much judge each event in their life by how they feel. Even the church has succumbed to this by teaching a cheap gospel which stresses what Jesus can do for the person, instead of the idea that the person owes a debt to God that they can't afford to pay.
With this background it should not surprise us that people wonder what the meaning of life is and wonder if life is worth living when times are tough. When they realize that life is not fair and that they will not attain every desire of their heart, they begin to question whether life is really worth the hassle. For a non-believer that might actually make sense, since this life is all there is in their eyes, however, for the believer, this shows a problem in their spiritual life.
I am not saying it is wrong for a believer to want to have a happy life, or to want the desires of their heart, but when those become the focus of their life, there is a problem. All we have to do is look at Scripture and we see this:
Matthew 16:24 Then Jesus said to His disciples, "If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me."
Denying one's self is not something that we teach believers anymore. Instead God is treated as a genie in the sky who will give us anything we want if we just ask in the right way. If we pray the Prayer of Jabez three times a day, God will answer our prayers. If we plant a seed by giving some television heretic our money God will repay us 100 fold. The list goes on and on of ways people try to bribe God into giving them what they want. All the time they miss the point of who God is. He is not a genie is the sky, nor is He a God who has to be bribed to give His children gifts. Yet the attitude of our hearts is what is standing in the way of the blessings God has for us.
When we focus on ourselves and what we want, we forfeit what God has for us, because He will not be mocked. We cannot live for our flesh and think we will be rewarded. God does promise us many things, but some of those things we may wish He had not promised us. Let me give you a couple examples:
Mark 10:29-30 Jesus said, "Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or farms, for My sake and for the gospel's sake, [30] but that he will receive a hundred times as much now in the present age, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and farms, along with persecutions; and in the age to come, eternal life."
It would have been nice if He had left that persecution stuff out, but He didn't. It is something He has promised us. Here is another promise:
Rev. 3:19 'Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline; therefore be zealous and repent.'
We will be disciplined too. Yet people seem to forget those passages and only focus on the ones which say we will have our needs met. But even then they miss the point, He will meet our needs, but not necessarily our wants and desires.
Our needs are not always what we think they are. Our true need is for salvation and a secure and lasting eternal place with God our Father. To us our needs are a new car, or the money to pay the mortgage payment, or a job that will allow our kids to go to the finest colleges so that they can make more money then we make.
I don't believe in being an apologist for Islam as some Christians seem to be all too willing to be. Islam, worships Satan. Their god is Satan, the god of this world. Is that harsh? Maybe, but it is also true. There is only one true God and we can only approach Him through His Son, Jesus Christ, anything or anyone else is just a front for Satan. If people worship the wrong Jesus they also are worshipping Satan. This includes, but is not limited to the Jehovah's Witness, who deny that Jesus Christ is God, but rather claim that He is the created Arch Angel Michael. And the Mormon's who claim that Jesus attained god status, just like we can if we work hard and live right. They are worshipping the wrong Jesus who is not Jesus at all but rather Satan.
But what does this have to do with happiness? I wanted to make sure you understand that I believe these three religions are of Satan, yet I want to give them all grudging respect, because they all have something that is seldom seen in the church in America today. They have a dedication and an eternal perspective that Christians seem to lack.
Why are young Muslim men willing to die in the prime of their lives? Simple, they believe it is a ticket straight to Paradise. They view this as a way to get their eternal reward. They will get their reward but it won't be what they expect.
Why are Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons so willing to spend hot summer days and cold winter days on the streets knocking on doors of houses where for the most part they know they won't be welcome? Because they view it as part of their job, part of what they must do to obtain heaven. Again they have an eternal perspective that most Christians lack.
All three of these examples show religions where the person must work to obtain salvation. Praise God we don't have to work for our salvation, it is a free gift from God, obtained through our faith in Jesus Christ and His perfect sacrifice for us on the cross. However, I still think that Christian's for the most part lack a true biblical idea of what this life is all about.
Life is not about being happy for 70 or 80 years and then passing away to be with Christ. It is about being conformed to the image of Christ here and now. It is about working for His kingdom here and now, so that more people can come to know Him and His love. It is about living in this world but not being part of this world. Yes it is about persecutions and trials and tribulations, all of which make us stronger in our faith and all of which allow our lives to witness to unbelievers. Well, at least that is what those things should do, but unfortunately all too often that is not what happens. Way too many times Christians fall short. They fall short of being conformed to the image of Christ. They fall short of growing in faith when calamity hits, but rather they question how God could have let them down. They fall short of being a witness for Christ because they walk around with long faces and tell everyone they know or who will listen how miserable their life is and how depressed they are.
Is it any wonder that the world is not beating down our door looking for what we have and asking how to get it for themselves? Why would they give up a life of sin and temporal pleasure just to be as miserable as most of us are or at least seem to be?
The problem is that most Christians are biblically ignorant and therefore make assumptions or listen to heretics who say what they want to hear. What faith they had is often shipwrecked and they either turn away from God or live a defeated life in misery.
I keep talking about Christians being biblically ignorant, because I am afraid that the majority of them are. You can go explore the Barna site if you like and see just how biblically ignorant most Christians are. For example, most Christians believe that the Bible contains something to the effect that God helps those who help themselves. But the Bible does not contain that. People will also spout the idea that God will never give you more then you can handle. Is that true?
Will God ever give us more than we can handle? Opinions are great and everyone has one, but only God's opinion counts, so let's look at His word and see:
2 Cor. 1:8-11 We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about the hardships we suffered in the province of Asia. We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired even of life. [9] Indeed, in our hearts we felt the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead. [10] He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us. On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us, [11] as you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the gracious favor granted us in answer to the prayers of many.
Notice verse 8; far beyond our ability to endure... In fact this ordeal was so bad that Paul says they felt the sentence of death and despaired even of life. Just in case you miss the point that this whole situation was God's doing, Paul tells us why it happened; so that they would learn to lean not on themselves but on God.
Yes God will give us more then we can handle and He will do it for our own good, so that we understand that we can't do it alone, but that we need Him. He will never forsake us and He will never give us more then we can handle if we lean on Him, but to think we will never face overwhelming adversity beyond our ability to handle is to be ignorant of God's word.
God will also give us adversity in order to draw us back to Him:
Amos 4:6-9 "I gave you empty stomachs in every city and lack of bread in every town, yet you have not returned to me," declares the Lord.
[7] "I also withheld rain from you when the harvest was still three months away. I sent rain on one town, but withheld it from another. One field had rain; another had none and dried up. [8] People staggered from town to town for water but did not get enough to drink, yet you have not returned to me, "declares the Lord.
[9] "Many times I struck your gardens and vineyards, I struck them with blight and mildew. Locusts devoured your fig and olive trees, yet you have not returned to me," declares the Lord.
This passage continues listing the things that God did to His people to draw them back to Himself. Remember Jesus said that He reproves and disciplines those He loves. The problem is that most Christians have never heard this, all they have heard is that they are the King's kids and they just have to have faith and He will give them anything and everything they want. So when discipline comes or when adversity comes that they cannot handle on their own, they begin to question everything they believe. I get letters all the time by so called Christians who claim that they think God hates them. Or they wonder if God is even real. Their faith is shipwrecked.
In fact I wonder how they can claim to be Christians. If God truly hates them, then there is no way He sent His Son to die in their place, and if they don't believe that, then they cannot be saved, since salvation requires faith in Jesus. I hope you see how serious this all is, it is not just a minor issue. Biblical ignorance is deadly. It is deadly for the non-believer but as I have shown it is also deadly for the believer, if they want to continue being a believer.
So what should our attitude be? I am not saying we need to jump for joy when adversity comes, but we should not lose our joy either, and we should not be surprised that rain came into our lives. It is very hard to see the Father's face when lighting is striking close to you and the thunder clouds obscure the sky. It is natural to be depressed and to feel far from God. This is when we need each other the most. Let me quote verse 11 from 2 Corinthians 1 again:
2 Cor. 1:11 as you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the gracious favor granted us in answer to the prayers of many.
Paul says that he was helped by the prayers of others and that God granted them favor because of those prayers. When we are in hard times we need the prayers of other godly people.
I will tell you that when I look back on my life, I often find that the times when I was the closest to God was when I was struggling, yet as I said those are the times when, as they are happening, that I felt all alone and far from God. I know that sounds like a contradiction, but it isn't. When I am going through those tough times, I have to lean on God because I know I can't handle it myself, but my flesh is weak and I feel alone. It is only after it is over that I am able to look back and see that God was holding my hand and was very near me. When things are going great in my life and I feel close to God, is the real time of danger. It is a time of danger because I get complacent and find it hard to find the time to pray and just come into God's presence. I feel close to Him, yet I am drifting away. When adversity comes, I have no trouble finding time to pray, I struggle to get close to God, even though I feel distant. This is just another example of why we can't trust our fleshly emotions.
I get many letters from Christians who claim to love God with all their heart and claim to have a very close relationship with Him, yet they are writing me because they are contemplating suicide. They think they are close to God, yet in their heart they are contemplating being the god of their own life, by deciding something that only God has the right to decide- when we die.
As Christians we have been given the greatest gift of all time, eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ. We would do well to remember that gift daily, it would change many of our attitudes about the other things that happen in our lives. If we depend on ourselves we have already lost the battle but if we lean on Christ, He will give us strength. If we would have half the eternal perspective of those three false religions I mentioned, our lives would change and we would retain our joy even in the darkest of days, because we would remember what life is really all about.
Philip. 4:12-13 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. [13] I can do everything through him who gives me strength.
Paul learned to keep his eyes on the prize and that prize is Jesus Christ. When our eyes are on Jesus we can walk on the roughest water, but when we look at the waves we will sink like a rock.

On Saturday, March 7th, we were invited to a surprise birthday party. We all had to be dressed in a disco outfit. The birthday girl turned 50!! Her husband is a client of our pub so we were invited too. It was so much fun. I danced a lot and even Eric tried the dancefloor :-)

Finally another update
Life has been hectic over here. My mother is in hospital since a week. She had to go through a surgery. I go there every evening so I don't have much time left for anything else.
Three weeks ago, we went to Gent for 2 nights. Gent is a wonderful, medieval city. I went there to study to become a teacher. I stayed there for 4 years. It was like a trip back in time for me :-)
Warning: long photo post!!!
This one and the next one are my favourite ones.
Can you believe this??? This is a pub called 'the littel bike'. It has all kinds of bikes and other stuff on the ceiling. It is so packed with stuff that there are only 2 tables. I guess there is only place for 8 people.
The owner of the shop
Lovely dinner
We went for a late drink and saw a couple that we know. It was his birthday so we ended up drinking champagne
This street is called 'grafiti street'. Hmmm, why did it get that name??

As I hoped, more pictures have surfaced from the Guldbagge Gala! The last one there was found by Fish and he also confirmed that it is Petrus Sjövik with Alexandra Dahlström at the Gala.
Here are a couple tidbits that you might find interesting, or not:
- Alexandra wore an Ida Sjöstedt dress to the Gala
- The event was hosted by Sissela Kyle who you might recognize as the actress who played Alexandra's mom in 2004's Fröken Sverige (Miss Sweden)
- Sverrir Gudnason who was also in Fröken Sverige with Alexandra took home an award for his performance in the film Monica Z

Interplanetary success
I have come to say fairly frequently -- the more I know, the less I know. Today proved to be no different. I was one of the lucky ones who responded quickly enough to secure a seat at the complimentary Wines of Mercurey tasting sponsored by the Bourgogne Wine Board. A world-wide tasting held live and interactive with participants tweeting questions to the host was a first for me. It was fun. Truth be told, I mostly signed up for the tasting because it was Burgundy and it was free. As a wine student, free becomes a pretty important word. Even though I get to taste wines for the list at work, there are many wines that are impractical for me to add -- too expensive, too obscure....too French. So I looked upo this as a free morning of pinot noir at the hands of my favored French. A good way to solidify my blind tasting on the Gaul expression. Little did I know that I would encounter a region of intense soil complexity and hidden value. We tasted six wines in total after the lecture. Did I love them all? No. Would I call all of them go-to alternatives to the more expensive Burgundy to the north? No. But there were a couple that were genuinely delightful and engaging.
The first of these that caught my attention was the sole white of the afternoon - Maison Louis Max Les Rochelles 2013. It reminded me a great deal of some of favored Meursault experiences. Nice mineral tension and notes of white flowers and citrus with a lovely texture and hints of hazelnut. It was definitely a great way to start. Though whites are in the production minority of this region, I'd scout out a few more to try based upon this experience.
I was also really pleased overall with the texture of all the five remaining reds in the flight. That velvety texture that I love so much from French red Burgundy was there. One of the wines kinda ruined the experience for me with their heavy-handed use of oak but that's my personal opinion. The color was off and the aromas was obscured. I drink pinot noir for the full experience and its color and nose are definitely part of it. The Domaine Nathalie & Jean-Claude Theulot was lovely and engaging with notes of cherry, strawberry & Asian spice that kept me going back for more. A little cold maceration brought out the fruit and the color on this one was a bit darker. Very nice. But my favorite overall is the wine pictured above. The 1er Cru Sazenay from Domaine de Suremain is a southeast facing vineyard and so receives good sunlight to aid in ripening. The soils are heavier clay over limestone bedrock holding onto moisture and keeping the vines "feet" cool. These are considered two of the ingredients in the recipe that helps create distinctively delicious pinot noir. The domaine's delicate use of oak lended some pretty vanilla flavors and cold maceration gave this wine nice concentration of color and fruit flavors. The growing conditions helped provide a pronounced lift to the aromas. What's "lift"? I sound like such a geek when a use that term but its hard to describe it any other way. It's a freshness and an aroma that just hits you up "there" -- higher in your nasal passages. And there was that lovely silky texture. A long and elusive finish with hints of forest floor made me happy. It's fall afterall and a little of this earthy complexity seems to go with my chunky sweater and long scarf. The premier cru status of the wines of Mercurey aren't necessarily on par with those you'd find along the Cote to the north but it does symbolize "better" nonetheless. In terms of soil structure and exposure anyway. As is the case throughout France, you have to know the producer: what they do, how they do it and what you like in order to truly unlock your personal "greats".
It's said that Mercurey was named Mercury, patron god of financial gain, commerce, eloquence and thus poetry, among other things. These gods, it seems, were pretty busy back then. But I'll go with eloquence and poetry here. Those are two words I would use to describe the best achievements in pinot noir and despite their "lesser" status within the Burgundy world, I'd happily drink these Mercurey's any time.

The three of them never expected to meet a body sprawled face down on their way to school. It was raining quite generously that morning, and the body was wet and muddy. It looked like a man wearing a heavy black coat, and not far ahead they could see a cap and a scarf soaked in puddle. The three of them grasped their umbrella in a nervous manner. This was certainly a shock. For a few seconds, they just stood there staring at the cold body.
"So is it dead?" asked Carlos, trying to sound calm and sort the situation out. The idea of death made his body shiver. Aileen, who suddenly snapped out of her suprised state, edged away towards Carlos. "Wh...what should we do? I think I'm going to be sick!" she shrieked. She closed her eyes and began to chant some comforting words to herself over and over again. "This must be a dream. This must be a dream."
Val who was the tallest took a look aroud the area. No one else was in sight. It was usually only the three of them who cut through the park early in the morning "Damn, there's no one around too," he sighed. "Can't get help either." The three of them continued to stare back at the body in front of them. Val gulped and began to take a few steps closer towards it. "I'm gonna try and check." As he held out his hand to touch the damp clothing, the body gave a shudder.
Aileen shrieked louder and went behind Carlos for cover. She had let her umbrella go and grasped the back of Carlos' shirt. Carlos held tightly on his umbrella, ready to make use of it as a weapon if anything were to happen. Val on the other hand was the most surprised among them and took a sudden jump to the back. A body who was assumed to be lifeless had suddenly made a move.
The three of them froze as the body began to move more dramatically. At first the hands were trying to support the body up. But whether it was due to the rain or the weak condition of the person, the hands slipped and the body fell again. There was hard grunt and a yelp of pain. Slowly the hands began to push again, and this time the person was able to kneel weakly. The stranger's body was shuddering rather violently, and blood mixed with mud was flowing out from the mouth.
"Geh!" the mysterious man spat to the ground, leaving trails of bloody liquid in front of him. He looked up to see three frightened teenagers huddled together looking scared and confused. The man gave a hearthy laugh. "Haha just my luck to stumble into kids the moment I set foot here." The weak hands began to push even harder for the body to stand up, swaying from left to right as if it was following the blows of the chilly wind. The three of them just gulped at what seemed like a zombie being raised up from the dead.
"Sir," Carlos managed to utter a speech. He looked carefully at the man. "Who are you? And are you okay? Do you need help?" A lot of questions were racing through his head, and he wanted to let it all out in one go. A cold loud laugh from the man made his questioning stop midway. "Hahahaha! Kids! Always asking the obvious," the man exclaimed excitedly. One of his hand was holding his chest rather tight as if bearing the immense pain he was feeling from the good laugh. "Ah, can't waste energy...with my laugh...anymore.." The man coughed and more blood splattered on the ground. Aileen couldn't bear to watch and shoved her face on Carlos' back.
"Come here you," said the man as he pointed towards Val. The three clenched their hands tighter. What does this man want? "Don't worry kid," the man smiled. "I'm in no condition...to bite...geh!" He let out another painful laugh. Val was hesistant at first and exchanged glances with his friends. Carlos and Aileen were uncertain themselves. Val took another look at the man, and inched slowly towards him. The man smiled again and took out something from his pocket.
"Careful, yet brave aren't you?" the man held out his hand forward. "Take this, and keep it safe. And whatever you do, avoid the person called Drake." Seeing that Val was not getting any closer, the man threw an item towards him. Surprised, Val caught it. It was some sort of flat metallic pendant. It was covered in mud, but Val noticed that it had engravings on it. Confused, Val asked, "What is this?"
The man gave another laugh. "So little time, kids," he exclaimed. This time his body was beginning to emit a weird black smoke. Seeing this Val took another leap backwards. The three of them were horrified at what they were looking at. The man just smiled. In an instant, the mysterious person began to crumble and disappeared, leaving trails of ashes with the rainy wind.

Last year we had a brand new Nintendo IP in Splatoon and less than a week ago we had Star Fox Zero with a super innovative/experimental control scheme. They're actively moving into the mobile space and keep mentioning that the NX will be a brand new concept.
Not sure what else a company could do on the innovation front. Whether you like it and whether it is successful are different points.

Ritual wine cups, anonymous, c. -1700 - c. -1050
Rituals were exceptionally important during the Shang Dynasty, when it was believed that the world would suffer if these were not correctly performed. During these rituals, gifts of food and drink were presented in bronze vessels to please the ancestors, who represented the living in the world of the gods. There are dragons on the base of the trumpet-shaped cup and bird-like creatures on the body of the lidded cup.

Q, again, failing to listen to her, failing to understand what's going on because he's so focused on what he thinks here. Yeah, I was really grateful to them for allowing me to do that. 'Cause every now and then, a lot of the times the actors game A lot of our actors in this film are pretty method, and they'd be like, "That doesn't make sense that I would do that." And I tried to listen to that and honor it, and I was like, "Would it make any sense for you, "she's kind of walking and you can end up in the middle of the street here?" And they're like, "Yeah, we could do that." And I was like, "Thank you." It doesn't really make any sense, but like John said, it really works on a lot of levels. So, yeah. And that hug from Cara is one of my favorite things in the film. Yeah, that took a while to get that. I mean not, more in rehearsals, but to figure out like what was kind of, you know, it's not like a sweet hug of goodbye, but almost like she's thinking about where she's going and all of a sudden Q's game I think that Margo kind of, can only really focus on what's in front of her, and is thinking about a bunch of other things. And then all of a sudden realizes she's losing Q in this moment, and hadn't really even thought about that till that moment in the night. And then itjust kind of comes out of nowhere. Yeah, it's really powerful. And then Cara is very good at climbing and jumping into windows. She killed it here. That's a fake tree. I know. That's a tree we built just so that there's rigs on top of it. She was very excited about doing that stunt herself, so. Yeah, it's not a heavily-stunted movie, but what stunts there were, were mostly done by our hardworking and dedicated cast. That's true. I love this thing Nat does here. Yeah. Nat is a great physical actor. I also love the way that when he walks as Q, he only moves one arm. I didn't notice that. And you'll notice that he keeps his hands tucked into his sleeves a lot in the movie, and he loved this sweater and he wanted it for as many scenes as he could have

A garden designer from Langford has won two top prizes at the BBC Gardeners' World Live 50th anniversary show.
Martin Lines, with landscaping company Lanwarne Landscapes, were delighted to have been awarded a Silver Gilt Medal and Best Construction in Show at the event held in Birmingham.
Martin's 'Contemporary Bee and Butterfly Garden' is his first show garden the judges, who included TV gardener Diarmuid Gavin, were hugely impressed by the quality of the design, landscape construction and planting scheme as a whole.
The garden included an outdoor dining area, fire pit and living picture planted with specially grown moss, which was a huge hit with TV gardener Joe Swift and the public. The garden is designed to encourage wildlife, including timber posts incorporating bee and insect houses and bubble fountains that act as both a water feature and safe places for the bees and insects to drink.
The garden supported the INTO University Big City Bright Future Programme through BlackRock which helps underprivileged teenagers with educational support, and two of their students worked on the project.
The show garden was broadcast on Gardeners World on June 16, with Joe Swift referring to Martin Lines as an 'emerging talent', who we 'may see at Chelsea one day'.
Joe also complemented the garden finishing, referring to it as 'immaculate'.
Last year Martin won Gold and Best Border in Show in the Beautiful Borders category. Visit www.lanwarnelandscapes.co.uk
