Travel money is a much better option of carrying currency while travelling in other countries than the traveler's cheques. This is because the cheques are nothing in comparison to the benefits that these travel cards offer. These cards offer the convenience and comfort that people badly look for while travelling. While searching for travel cash providers it is quite obvious that you would like to go for the one that offers the best exchange rates and the best possible service at the lieu of reasonable fees. There are many comparative sites which would offer you a comprehensive list of the fees and exchange rates demanded by the different travel money providing companies. Even details on the delivery time and facilities would be offered by these sites. My aunt was in desperate need of travel money that would meet her requirements adequately. Finally she came across Thomas Cook Card.
The Thomas Cook Card powered by Travelex is one of the most favored travel cards by people who undertake trips for both personal and professional needs. This pre - order currency when from Thomas Card makes the trips of people easy and convenient. The rate that you see while applying for the card would remain the same even when the card gets delivered. Even the delivery is done free of cost which adds to its convenience. With no hidden costs or commissions involved, the Thomas Cook card is highly affordable for people of almost every means and budget. This company offers foreign currency in different formats - prepaid cards, travellers cheques, credit transfers; this gives people enough liberty in the matter of choosing their type of currency carrier. Adequate amount of details pertaining to the card is offered on the Internet. This would enable you to go through the details before making any decision regarding the company which you should finally select for purchasing your traveller card.

I weighed myself for the first time in a while this morning and despite my mother feeding me on her slimmer's world diet food I'd managed to put on a kilo or so during the week. I'm not surprised, the volume of the slimming food was the problem.
It was time for a check up on the progress of my leg. I managed to make the appointment with seconds to spare due to being behind a tractor for the majority of the journey. The consultant was quite happy with the progress. After a bit of wobbling my leg around he said that I was well on the way to full mobility. I mentioned that the back of my knee was a bit sore. He said that this was because he had stuck a knife into it. It seemed a reasonable comment. He also said that I could start some gentle swimming and easy cycling; no running though.
I filled the afternoon by dealing with the trivia of life. I may have slept a bit as well
I had spaghetti for tea with some pasta sauce that had been made by my loved one a few weeks before. It was nice to be back to my usual diet.
I have many cans of beer in the fridge at the moment owning to an impulse buy a few weeks ago. Tonight, felt right to make a dent in the collection of cans. I made a small dent but felt rather wobbly after the second can. I must remember that I can't drink like I used to.
Sleep came quickly, it must have been the beer.

When I came home from rehab on Friday, I heard a robin singing. There are still a few robins around but this is the first time I've heard on sing in winter. Makes me homesick for spring.
Ran out of medicine over the weekend and along with cold, damp weather, it is making me sore and stiff. Hope I am improved before going to rehab tomorrow. I am writing this post trying to loosen my finger joints a bit.
My internet is very slow today. It must be molasses powered and the cold has it too thick to run through the wiring.
Will Comet Ison be eaten by the Sun? Stay tuned on Nov., 28 to see if it is a survivor or just junk food for old Sol.

Kundalini Yoga on the Ball
A series of short clips of a DVD, this video will introduce you to how to incorporate a Yoga Ball (aka Stability Ball) into your practice. The video is less than 4 min and is located in a beautiful setting – perhaps Utah? I'm guessing.

Likes: Roomy interior, generous kit, low running costs, distinctly designed inside out.
Dislikes: Sloppy handling, sluggish engine, odd-ball styling, too much wind noise on the motorway.
Performance: There's only one engine available for the Cube. It's a 1.8-liter four-cylinder with 122hp, although the engine is fuel efficient. It doesn't feel up for the job. It offers decent pace around town, but on faster paced roads you'll struggle to get up to speed. The CVT-transmission really does bring the buzz out of the engine, and often robs you off valuable revs when you need it most.
Ride & handling: The Cube feels comfortable because the suspension is set towards comfort, so there's plenty of body-roll in corners. You'll think the car wasn't attached to its chassis. On the motorway, you'll often feel like you're being blown about by cross winds due to the tall body.
Refinement: The cabin is roomy and airy, with very little road noise. Wind noise however will be an issue. The Cube's tall body makes it as aerodynamic as a tower block. So wind noise rushes into the cabin at high levels. The CVT transmission brings the buzz out of the engine. This makes long distance driving a bit tiresome.
Behind the wheel: The front seats are comfortable, but they lack lateral support. The dashboard is easy to navigate. Everything feels user friendly. Forward and rear visibility will be an issue. You'll feel like the windscreen is miles away from you, and those thick B-pillars create massive blind spots.
Space & Practicality: There's plenty of head and legroom in both the front seats and the rear seats. The tall body does give you an airy feel in the cabin. The seats fold down 60/40 to increase cargo space. While the boot isn't massive, it's awkward shape makes getting things in and out a breeze.
Equipment: The Nissan Cube comes well equipped. The base trim comes with air-con, cd-player, 6-way adjustable driver seat and a nifty trip computer. Top of the range models add automatic headlamps, sporty body-kit, and navigation system.
Buying & Owning: The Nissan Cube comes with a low asking price. It's not the most stylish car on the block, but it does offer loads of kit for the money. Discounts are available, and resale value should be good. Running costs are low too, thanks to decent fuel economy.
Quality & reliability: The interior feels well put together. Many plastics feel sturdy and long lasting. Nissan has a solid reliability record. The Nissan Cube should prove to be just as reliable.
Safety & Security: The Cube offers side-curtain airbags, anti-lock brakes and traction control all standard, even on the base trim. Deadlocks, engine immobiliser and an alarm are standard across the range to keep theft at bay.
The Nissan Cube isn't the most stylish car on the block. The interior is roomy, and the kit is generous for the money. However, the Cube's handling is sloppy. The engine isn't really up for the job, and there's too much wind noise on the motorway. It may seem like the Cube is all style and no substance. Even with all the negatives, the Cube still has a market for those who want something out side of the box. Before you consider a Cube however, we highly suggest you look at its rivals first. They're priced the same, but exceed in what the Cube falls short in.

Friday's Listens, Looks, and Reads will be published either weekly or bi-weekly most Friday mornings, with articles, essays, videos, and sites that are about the Black experience (which is diverse) for you to check out.
**If you have enjoyed the articles listed, comment below! If you have an suggestion for an article you have read and like to share with us, please email us!**
Articles, Op-Eds, and Essays:
An article from From Harriet on how there should be more representation of black women in the media, and how respectability politics should be ignored. Excerpt: "A study published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology in 2010 offered the thesis that black women are socially invisible. The study had two conclusions: first, black women are more likely than black men or white men and white women to go unnoticed by others in a group or social situation; second, comments made by black women are more likely to go unheard when made to a largely white audience. Both experiments also highlighted that for many of the participants, black women are seen as relatively interchangeable. This means that as black women, dealing with the double burden of race and gender, we have to fight twice as hard to stand out and have our individual and unique voices heard."
An op-ed from The Root on having identity issues when you are multicultural. Excerpt: "With a biracial president (who identifies as black) and a fast-growing mixed-race population, most Americans understand that racial identity can be complex and that it requires people to make hard, highly individual choices. But deciding on and explaining cultural identity can be complicated, too. Especially when you can claim birth and upbringing on various continents and in various countries and cities—and when the way you have to explain how you identify changes depending on where you are at the time and on who's asking."
An article from Salon on the silencing and omission of work done by black feminists when it came to fighting for reproductive rights. Excerpt: "Antiabortion activists think themselves clever when they compare abortion to slavery, but reams of historical records prove their narrative to be rooted in quicksand. They have ignored the stories of men and women being raped, beaten, starved and worked literally to death and the reverberating effects of that most inhumane of institutions. It is indeed preposterous to assert that a free black woman deciding her own fate as her ancestors have done for centuries (including within the context of slavery) is a perpetrator of the crimes from which she continues to suffer."
A long read from AlterNet.org on the struggle of colorism between black people across the Diaspora when it comes to representation. Excerpt: "Debates and discussions around colorism and shade in America are often cyclical and absolute — light skinned equals privilege, light is Hollywood leading lady, light is the chosen one; dark equals rejected, ugly, undesirable, unimportant. That is indeed a truth, but it is one of many truths. That is the framing of complexion narratives, and that of the legacy of untreated trauma of America's history where enslaved Africans had babies by slave masters beginning the panorama of complexion on these shores. Historically, the closer to white you were, the better the treatment you received."
Another article from Salon on how the post-racial reality doesn't exist, especially when it comes to the recent Stand Your Ground trials in Florida for the deaths of Jordan Davis and Trayvon Martin. Excerpt: "Given her particular kind of black embodiment, Creshuna Miles' decision carries great weight in an American populace that deeply wants to believe in the myth of a colorblind system. The problem here – the lie of post-racialism, to be more precise – is that Miles' rejection of the racial elements of this case hold more weight precisely because she is a black woman. Essentially, finding the biggest and blackest of black women to say that there was no miscarriage of justice in this case helps assuage any white guilt."
An article from the Village Voice on Lorraine Hansberry's private struggles with her identity and sexuality. Excerpt: "In a steady, eloquent voice, Hansberry points out that "the most oppressed group of any oppressed group will be its women, obviously," concluding that those who are "twice oppressed" can become "twice militant.""
An article from PolicyMic on a list of 22 thoughts on what means to be black in America. Excerpt: "But in the end, being black in America today means different things to different people. Some black people will even insist that racism hasn't played a prominent role in their lives."
**NOTE: Friday's Looks, Listens, and Reads will be on hiatus until Friday, March 14th, so catch up with the previous weeks until then!!

I've been to Las Vegas many times and I've never been disappointed. It seems to acquire better every time but this goes to trying new things. One year I had a gathering and asked my mate from high school to sign up me following your conference ended. We planned to hang out and talk about the "good ole days" however the one catch was that people would have an exotic car hire in Las Vegas. I was sort of excited yet , had no idea what you should expect. I searched online, found a company, called and asked a few questions and before I knew it, I got a call how the car was awaiting me downstairs. It was a Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder in beautiful Ithica Green (Neon to the color challenged) convertible. This was the best time I've been on Vegas up to now and I'd suggest it. So if you are searching for a very beautiful rental car in Las Vegas then think about the following:

Very collectable
There were 766 Bell UH-1C helicopters built in several equipment modified variants. One was the "Frog" equipped with side-mounted XM-158 twin rocket pods each holding seven 2.75 inch rockets. The "M-5" fitted the gunship with a nose turret mounting an M-75 40mm automatic anti-personnel grenade launcher that held 300 anti-personnel grenades.The crews referred to these as "Chunkers" because of the sound when the grenades were fired. The infamous "Shark" gunships were created in 1966 when permission was granted to use the fearsome looking "Tiger Mouth" on the front of the Hueys. RAAF A2-1020 is an UH-1B Iroquois that was delivered to No 9 Squadron at RAAF Base Fairbairn in Canberra on December 12, 1962. A2-1020 joined No 9 Squadron at Vung Tau Vietnam in mid-1966 where it was used for medevac, troop insertion as well as extractions and re-supply. On August 17-18 1966 Australian troops were surrounded by overwhelming numbers of enemy troops. As night was falling they were running low on ammunition and the only method of re-supply was by helicopter. During a tropical storm
and at tree-top level A2-1020 and A2-1022 managed to fly over enemy troops and find a smoke flare placed by the Australian troops. The 2 helicopters off-loaded their 520 kg of ammunition and successfully returned to base. This ammunition made it possible for the Australian troops to hold on until an artillery barrage and armoured vehicles arrived, driving the enemy soldiers into a retreat. A2-1020 is now on display at the RAAF Museum in Point Cook, near Melbourne.

PARIS — Faye Dunaway will receive the Chicago Intl. Film Festival's Career Achievement Award at its opening night Oct. 4.
"The Yellow Bird," Dunaway's short-film directing debut, will be shown before David Mamet's "Heist," which replaces the previously scheduled preem of "Collateral Damage."
Festival founder and artistic director Michael Kutza cites the Academy Award and Golden Globe winning actress's "larger-than-life star power" and "ability to project complex emotions in every role she is in."
Dunaway, who has appeared in over 70 films, made her screen debut in "The Happening" (1967). The actress starred in three films in the American Film Institute's 100 Best American Movies Ever Made: No. 19, "Chinatown"; No. 27, "Bonnie and Clyde": and No. 66, "Network." Dunaway returned to her stage roots in 1996, starring on Broadway as Maria Callas in "Master Class," which she hopes to bring to the screen.
Twenty years after playing Joan Crawford in the camp classic "Mommie Dearest," Dunaway will next play Mae West in "The Calling."
The gala opening of the event's 37th edition is sponsored by Marshall Fields' Project Imagine, which earmarks a percentage of revenue for arts and cultural organizations.

Dear Universe,
Are you trying to tell me something and just hitting me over the head with the hints/clues? Really? Is that necessary?
I had been back in town from Carlisle all of about 20 minutes when I saw this. I was on the parkway and decided that while I was out and about already to run a couple of errands and get a late lunch at Pentagon City. So, I hit the mall and no sooner had I walked in that I saw this banner wrapped around the elevator shaft. All I could do was laugh and wonder if the universe is really telling me something.
So, yes, you might be able to tell that the weekend went really well. Aside from a little pouty-ness from me on Sunday (while K was still away at his tournament, which was totally just me blowing shit out of proportion), the time we got to spend together – and the time I got to spend on my own exploring the Carlisle Historical District was great. I got to see two of my favorite people get married in one of the most beautiful ceremonies and had lots of fun at the reception!
K wasn't lying when he said he didn't have a lot of "stuff." He doesn't. Not at his place, at least. It's a gorgeous apartment, if a little small, with outdated, but comfy furniture… though from his description, I thought it'd be a lot less furnished than it was. Definitely less stuff than I have – and no cats to shed on everything and everybody – but really nice.
With the time we had apart with his disc golf tournament and my heading to the wedding, I got to have what I've needed for a while: some quiet time. I love just wandering around, exploring new places, but I also got to have some quality knitting time, catch up on some podcasts and most importantly, relax. I don't think I've been this relaxed in awhile – it's a good feeling. 🙂
I definitely didn't want to leave this morning, but since I have a job and life here, it was necessary. (Plus that whole him having to work today thing.)

Permintaan dari seorang pemimpin
Well...that's a normal reaction from us especially when it comes to heart request. We don't try to understand or even think deep about the message that our leader is trying to give us...that's the typical human attitude that I couldn't tolerate...at all. Period.
This morning, my leader from the company that I've been serviced for more than 8 years, KKSB, have sung a very queer song, not a typical song that he used to sing to us about productivity, about money and about being the number one...NOPE...this year, he actually wants us to be as usual productive, hard working and never forget about GOD...ALLAH SWT...hmmm....dia mengajak kami semua untuk menghayati erti keimanan dan ketuhanan...and, I cried when he cried for neglecting nilai-nilai itu selama 30 tahun membina KKSB...and dalam hati, I'm glad that he brought up the matter...because that's what been lacked in the company for all this years...Kita semua datang dari DIA, and kembali pada DIA juga...
Mampukah kita menolak permintaan itu? Tepuk dada tanya selera...

How to handle a break up
You may not be thinking about it now, but a great friendship could still develop out of this relationship. You cared for them enough to enter into a romantic relationship, so it stands to reason they just might make a great friend in the future. The way you react or act during this period will determine the likelihood of this.
If in fact, you are going through a break up right now, keep in mind these tips for keeping a level head.
Don't initiate contact for at least two weeks. If they call you, keep the conversation short and do NOT rehash what went wrong.
If you feel you must say something to them; go buy a journal and write down everything you are feeling and want to say. Even go so far as to address the letter to them, however, do NOT mail it. This is just a vessel for getting your thoughts out. Trust me; you'll be glad you kept your thoughts to yourself someday!
Make sure to express your gratitude about having the opportunity to share so many pleasant memories with them. Wish them well with whatever future may be in store for them.
Do not spend hours upon hours deliberating by yourself or with friends about what could have gone wrong. It isn't healthy to dwell on the past or the negative. If you need to powwow with friends, focus on doing creative or action-oriented things to keep your mind busy.
As soon as you are able to, start shifting your focus to your new life. You've just been given a new opportunity to start on a new path. What will it be? Take this time to do something you've always wanted, but just didn't get to while you were with your ex.
Accept responsibility that you contributed to the demise of the relationship, however, that it was also a two-way street. There's no need to dwell on what each person "did" or "did not" do. Assess for yourself what relationship areas you could probably address for future relationships and make a commitment to do something about it.
If your ex wants to give the relationship another chance, don't say yes immediately. Take some time to really gauge whether the original problems have been handled. If they haven't, it will only be a matter of time before you're going through all of this again.
If your ex is already seeing someone new, try your best to avoid seeing them together. Take comfort in the knowledge that if they were interested enough to date someone else, they were never your Mr. or Ms. Right! That means your perfect someone is still out there waiting to be found.

As for me...kenal erti LOVE apabila bertemu dengan hubby about 6 to 7 years ago...that time he was still with V.E. and that time they launched a twin album with another group called Ruffedge. I can still remember how my heart pounded to see his face on the stage singing Khayalan with the rest of the group...hmmm...but at that time, it meant nothing, maybe it's a sign that one day we will be together...and YES...memang pun kami bertemu semula few years after that event, we started sms-ing and meeting up...hanging out together (bukan selalu) and akhirnya hubungan tu serius pada tahun 2005...hmmm...lama kan...tapi, our relationship memang tak lama coz a month after we declared, my hubby proposed to me...and rombongan merisik tiba pada bulan Disember, the same year. We engaged on Sept 2006, nikah pada Jun 2007...semuanya bagai satu mimpi, namun ia mimpi nyata...

Sept. 25 ended up being a rough day for supporters of the Graham-Cassidy legislation to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA), beginning with the bill's only scheduled hearing being interrupted by protesters shouting, "No cuts to Medicaid, save our liberty."
The hearing eventually did get underway after dozens of protesters—some in wheelchairs—were removed from the hearing of the Senate Finance Committee. One of the namesakes of the bill, Sen. Bill Cassidy, MD, R-Louisiana, told the committee he believes it continues his work as a physician when he treated Medicaid beneficiaries in Louisiana's public hospital systems. He also rejected criticisms that the bill's transformation of ACA funding into block grants for states would benefit Republican-run states and make insurance unaffordable for people with pre-existing conditions.
"Many on the left are threatened that we give states and patients the power Obamacare usurped. Under this narrative, states are inept, corrupt Governors scheme to deprive his or her state's residents of protections, and patients only get better if told what to do. This amendment rejects that narrative," Cassidy said.
Cassidy's claims were countered by Cindy Mann, former CMS deputy administrator and director of the Center for Medicaid and CHIP Services under President Barack Obama. Having led the administration of Medicaid as the ACA expanded the program, she argued the Graham-Cassidy bill would "pose life-threatening harm" to the program's beneficiaries and shift the "full risk" of healthcare cost growth onto states.
"By contrast, under current law, states and the federal government share the risk of unanticipated costs due, for example, to higher drug costs, new cancer treatments, or health emergencies like the opioid crises," Mann said. "States that are not able to shoulder significant new costs will need to reduce provider payment rates and benefits, increase beneficiary costs, or reduce eligibility."
The tumultuous hearing for the bill was followed later by the Congressional Budget Office's preliminary analysis of its impact. The CBO said it didn't have time to do its usual analysis before the Sept. 30 deadline for the bill to pass with a simple majority in the Senate, but it did estimate "millions" would lose insurance which "covers high-cost medical events" compared to the ACA. Many fewer people would be covered by Medicaid, the report said, countering Cassidy's assertion that the bill doesn't reduce Medicaid funding or truly eliminate its expansion under the ACA.
"All told, federal spending on Medicaid would be reduced by about $1 trillion over the 2017–2026 period under this legislation," the report said.
The results of the CBO led Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, to announce she wouldn't support the bill, calling it "as deeply as the previous iterations." She appeared to reject any attempts at changing the bill to send more federal funding toward Maine to gain her support.
"If Senators can adjust a funding formula over a weekend to help a single state, they could just as easily adjust that formula in the future to hurt that state," Collins said in a statement. "This is simply not the way that we should be approaching an important and complex issue that must be handled thoughtfully and fairly for all Americans."
Collins joins Sens. Rand Paul, R-Kentucky, Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and John McCain, R-Arizona, as "no" votes. Sen Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, who opposed the last attempt at ACA repeal along with McCain and Collins, is still officially undecided.
Republicans could afford to lose only three votes from their caucus, but bill sponsor Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-South Carolina, indicated to CNN he still wants the legislation to come to the Senate floor.
"We're going to press on," he said. "And it's OK to vote. It's OK to fall short if you do for an idea you believe in."

While references to Robin Hood began to appear as early as the thirteenth century in legal records, the earliest surviving poems did not appear in manuscripts and early printed books until the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Several fourteenth-century allusions in the works of William Langland and Geoffrey Chaucer suggest that the "rymes of Robyn Hood" were widely circulating by the 1370s, but, it is vital to note, none of these late fourteenth-century works survives. A better approach, Thomas H. Ohlgren argues, is to focus on what has actually survived rather than on what might have existed. As a result, the poems Robin Hood and the Monk and Robin Hood and the Potter, which survive in two different Cambridge manuscripts of the last third of the fifteenth century, and "A Lytell Geste of Robyn Hode", which was printed at least seven times in the sixteenth century, must receive pride of place in the canon because they have a physical reality as material artifacts - in short, they exist and provide valuable information about the places and times of their composition and dissemination.

Hi, all. I'm new to the forum but not new to Yanmar tractors. I've owned a 336D and recently picked up a 186D with YFL650 loader. The tractor was narrowed for row crop work, which is where I intend to use it. The loader sat in a barn for most of its life and only recently (in the last five years) was mounted on the tractor and used to clean up around horses.
Not to my question. I purchased the tractor because it is narrowed for row crops. While the loader is nice, I have bigger tractors with loaders and, in this instance, the loader gets in the way. So, I'm thinking about parting with it.
I've done enough research to see that the YFL 650 is relatively desirable and also relatively difficult to find (at least by itself). I'd be selling the entire unit including subframe, controls, hoses, etc. Everything up to my factory divider block on the tranny. Should be an easy conversion for someone.
The loader would come with a bucket, which has barely been used, and some custom-made pallet forks, which I question whether or not they have been used at all. The paint on the loader is scratched and faded from age. A few of the smaller hydraulic hoses need to be replaced. Other than that, the loader is in great functioning condition.
So... What's a reasonable asking price? I don't want to mess with EBAY, so am hoping to put it on the local Craigslist.

Re: YFL 650 - What's it worth?
I think we ended up selling the YFL loader in the link below for around $1000. It is one of things where, to the right buyer, it might be worth a lot more but those buyers are few and far between.

The last major commemoration of the year of Bachs death in 1950 occasioned two diametrically opposed opinions on Bach performance. On the one hand, the composer, performer and early-music specialist, Paul Hindemith advocated the wholesale restoration of the instruments and performing practices of Bachs own age, on the other, Theodor Adorno poured scorn on historical reconstruction: only the improved modern performance resources could reveal the full import of Bachs music which stood head and shoulders above the pitiful concerns of its own age. The last 50 years have, of course, seen an incredible development in the restoration of historical performanceprobably far beyond what Hindemith hoped for or what Adorno feared. Certainly, Adornos belief that this could lead to lifeless literalistic interpretations has been confirmed by some styles of performance in recent years, but he would surely have been impressed by some of the traditions and individuals who have been inspired by approaches they believe to have found in history.
While Hindemith clearly saw the correct style of performance as contributing
to the value of the work, this is clearly an attitude that is both simplistic
and highly problematic. Adorno clearly saw the performance as at the service
of a timeless and authoritative work, good performance being an x-ray
of what may lie latent or hidden in the notes. Although most of us who
work with Bachs music must share something of Adornos view that this
music possesses incomparable and timeless qualities, such an absolute view
is increasingly difficult to hold for any composer within the increasingly
broadening culture of music. We will have to allow that Bach cannot hold
as central or crucial a position in western culture as he did 50 years
ago, however much we may wish this were not the case. Nevertheless, the
far more fluid and flexible ways of viewing and judging music today do
allow us to replenish our appreciation of Bach in ways that were not perhaps
so possible at the last anniversary. I have often suggested that if we
are to understand Bach more as a human agent, working with materials and
problems and opportunities faced him during the course of composition,
his thought as a performer must be important; indeed we might see issues
of performance as immanent in the way the music came to be written and
notated in the first place. Bach was, after all, valued more highly as
a performer than composer during his own lifetime andshort-sighted though
that perspective may be from our point of view, it is unlikely that Bach
ever composed entirely divorced from the consciousness of performance:
the very educational background of rhetoric would suggest that he who had
an invention must also have an idea of how to execute and realise it. In
all, I maintain that the enormous expansion in our knowledge of performance
in Bachs time can be used not just to realise the music in performanceafter
all, it is the quality of the performers that really counts herebut to
understand something of how the music cam to be written the way it was,
how Bach interacted with what was available and possible in performance
in an infinite number of ways. I have recently suggested how our knowledge
of the vocal scoring in some of Bachs church music may relate to how the
music interpreted the text. Here I will include some further examples from
the Matthew Passion where, by writing at the very limit of what was possible
in the performance medium concerned Bach was able to evoke something of
the spiritual struggle that the story was to stir in the flawed human being.

A down alternative comforter is a good choice for those looking for a substitute for a down duvet. Knowing how to care for one can extend its life and keep it as soft and fluffy as the day you bought it. With the proper care, you can wash most synthetic-filled comforters yourself rather than paying the expense of dry cleaning.
Most down alternative comforters can be washed in a large front-loading washing machine, but review the care tag for yours before laundering. Set the machine to gentle cycle and cool or warm water, and add gentle detergent, such as Woolite or Le Blanc Linen Wash. The machine should not be overloaded; use a commercial one at a laundromat if yours is not large enough. Run the comforter through an extra rinse cycle to remove any leftover soap residue.
Down alternative comforters can also be dried in a large dryer on a low heat setting. Using high heat can burn the fabric or filling. To help fluff the comforter, add a pair of clean white tennis shoes or a few clean tennis balls inside socks to the dryer. To prevent damp spots, remove it and fluff every 30 minutes. Expect about three hours for the comforter to dry completely.
Protection and Storage
Comforters are time consuming to clean, so protect it from dirt and grime with a duvet cover. They can be more easily and frequently laundered in your home washer and dryer, which will help to prolong the life of the comforter. Every few days give the comforter a good shake to fluff the filling. When stored during the off-season, place it in a large breathable fabric bag in a well-ventilated area to prevent mildew.
When to Clean
Before laundering, always inspect the stitching and repair any holes so the comforter does not come apart in the wash. If a duvet cover is used, you only need to wash it once yearly or prior to storing for the summer unless it becomes soiled, or spot cleaning won't take out a stain. Also wash it prior to the first use to remove any chemicals and unpleasant odors.

Looking forward and priming the pump
I am excited as I look forward to meeting many and reconnecting with a few of you next week in Nashville. As a means of priming the pumps and perhaps gaining a little insight into one another (you can learn a lot about a person by looking at his/her bookshelf), and perhaps just to generate some discussion, I'd like to invite everyone who will be in Nashville, as well as those who would like to be, to share what books you are reading/what thinkers have had significant impact on you/whom you are listening to/what thought trends excite you/whose interpretive lens you have appropriated/whose heart beats in tune with yours/etc. & etc. If nothing else, maybe I'll get a few ideas for my library. Don't worry, I'll share my list soon, but for now I have to go pick up dinner.

I am 24 and my boyfriend is 26. We have been in a long distance relationship from past two years. We both love each other. We are from the same religion same caste. Our parents know each other as they are family friends.. not very close but they know each other . My parents want me to get married and I don't want to marry anyone else other than my guy. I used to reject the proposals. One fine day we decided to tell our parents that we like each other and would like to spend the rest of our lives together. So I told My parents that I love him and they readily agreed for him But they said they would like to meet him and his parents and decide. On the other hand My boyfriend spoke to his parents they were not very happy About the idea of love marriage even though we were of the same cast because they wanted their son to have an arranged marriage. But later somehow my boyfriend convinced his parents and his sister. Sister is already married and she s my friend still she doesnt support him much for our marriage.
my boyfriend had some terms and conditions :
1) we have common friends ,none of them know about us , he doesn't want them to know about us now because he thinks it's not the right time
2) even if our parents meet and fix our marriage relatives n friends should not know about this right now it's only when we are going to get engaged they should know about it Because he s too young for marriage and he has a elder cousin brother who is yet to marry. his family members will feel bad If he gets married before him.
3) He cannot marry now so he wants time like one and half years and then we can tell everyone about our relationship.
Please note the above terms and conditions were put by him last year August . And then I told my parents about this they totally disagreed about the not to tell part to the family . They were not ready to wait for one and half years still I convinced them somehow and they are ready to waiT jus for my happiness even when they are not happy about the idea of hiding our relationship publicly. They say if he loves you he should accep. U in front of everyone.
But now my boyfriend says he needs more time he needs 3 years since he wants to do postgrads then job and some of his ppl r telling him he should not marry now its very early… so I was confused ki whats going on dude
I convinced my parents n now if I tell them three years what will they think about him so he says dont tell them three years tell them jus one n half n later they vil understand on their own.
I am seriously confused wat shud I do wat m I doing with my life. M I with the right guy… I don't knw wat to do . I feel like I m in d middle of nowhere. I jus know that I love him truly and that's why I hv been doing this for him.April 10, 2015 at 4:54 pm #15892
Hi sister its good that u love him so much, but do u also think that he loves u in same manner? It is ok that he wants some time to get marry but u should ask him why he needs to hide this frm all relatives and frds?April 10, 2015 at 5:28 pm #15893
Thanks. Yea hd askd him dat. He says if he tells everyone, ppl might judge him wrong since he has this good boy image . And it's very early for him. That's the only answer I get from him.April 10, 2015 at 6:16 pm #15894
It is not like that sister by only loving a girl will not get any bad image. 27 is best age to marry for a boy. He is not so small, as he thinks. So tell him about this to him that You wants to marry him after that 1 and half year so then ur parents will also agree with this.April 10, 2015 at 6:54 pm #15895
Yea hope he understandsApril 11, 2015 at 2:03 pm #15896
What if people know? This is one thing two partners who are in love and planning to marry should NOT be worried about. I do not see any reason to hide such a committed relationship from others. I think taking your parents into confidence was a good move from your side. Also you seem pretty clear about your expectations and are you clearly committed and love the man. I think you have done all you could to shape your relationship.
I am not sure if you are willing to wait after having waited so far for a period of 3 more years. There also seems a lack of clarity on your boyfriend's part about the time-frame within which he should announce the relationship and convince his parents. At this point, you might want to clearly discuss his plans about your relationship face-to-face and understand his position. He maybe having plans that you might want to find out.
If such an interaction can take place, you might have a bit more clarity, once you have your doubts cleared with your loved one. Your confusion is obvious in the current situation. Once you have had such a discussion, it could be easier for your to decide the path forward, in my opinion. I hope all goes well for you.
Best luck!
DesaiApril 11, 2015 at 4:28 pm #15897
Thanks for writing. You are absolutely right.
It's not that I haven't discussed about this with him . We have discussed about this several times but then everytime he is trying to convince me that after three years we will marry that's for sure .. He will b done with post grads and a good job. things wil be fine then. It's not that ki he s not in a good job right now.. in fact it's a very nice package but still he wants to do more. He told the same last year when the plans for marriage was after one and half year. What if I tell my parents and they agree for three years and then again he changes his mind for some more time. It's not at all easy for me to convince them once again for three years but for him I feel like doing every possible thing which I caN. Is that right on my part… ?? I Dont get this thing…April 11, 2015 at 7:18 pm #15898
Its good for your boy frd but not good for ur parents. Can u realise how much faith they have in u, whatever the dream they have about u? When he has everything then why he is just post poning ur marriage, and hiding relationship that he really had?. First of all take a certain action which should take considering both boy frd and parents but give more value for ur parents words because they know what is good for u better then yourself k?April 12, 2015 at 8:53 am #15899
I've read elsewhere that, "A bird is hand is worth two is the bush." If the current circumstances are not particularly unfavorable, there are apparently no reasons to wait for some future time (after 3 years), when the situation can't be necessarily predicted. However, any sort of making haste may be a bit too pushy while your partner is clearly not ready for marriage immediately.
If currently there is no pressing need to get married, a bit of waiting could make sense. A few weeks of not being too worried about whats coming in future should allow you some space and time. You can always go back to the problem with a fresh outlook and see how to take things forward from there. Good luck!April 12, 2015 at 11:43 am #15901
Yea I think you are right… Your proverb explains it all . I haven't forced him for anything till nw n I don't want to force him further also. I will be more happy if he comes and proposes me someday, on his own . I don't want to be blamed by him tomorrow when something goes wrong. I don't want him to tell me anytime that I had forced him for this marriage . That Will break me completely. I was worried about this because my parents are getting other proposals for me and they want me to get married. They feel i am Ignoring all good proposals for him and if tomorrow he doesn't marry me il b in a soup.
I totally understand on my parent's side. Whatever they are worried about is 100% right. May b someday when I become a parent il understand them even better. I am the only child and my happiness Is above all for them. That's y from d beginning of this relationship I never wanted to hide it from them and always wanted to take them along with me. I don't want to hurt them for my happiness that's why i am not ready to lie them about three years. I'l have that guilt all the time. But I think I should leave it on time now..

Minnesota is Santorum 33, Romney 24, Gingrich 22, Paul 20. 35% still say they could change their minds though...
(Excerpt) Read more at twitter.com ...
The Mormon/Vegas thing has always struck me as very odd. Then again if you're a serious Baptist living in Las Vegas, I would imagine there are plenty of contradictions to struggle through as well.
All I know is that it is DEFINITELY the LAST town in America I would want to live in.
Agreed, 100%.
Me too, but I won't caucus for him tonight. He's not a great communicator, and I would rather support a good communicator I agree with 80% of the time than a candidate whose heart is pure and a great guy but can't find his words. Rick is effective with the right BECAUSE OF HIS POSITIONS....but that won't be sufficient in the general election.
Isn't there a rule about noo winner take all states before a certain date? (March? April?)
Im probably gonna get flamed for this, but God willing Santorum surges more and more, so we dont have to hold our noses and vote for someone who will just bring more of the same big establishment, big government, big spending crap.
I would send her info to Mike Gallagher at mikeonline.com. He's been willing to discuss Romney's Mormonism for a long time and I think he claimed Romney won't come on his show anymore because he brought it up. Mike's one of the most Newt-friendly or non-Romney friendly conservative radio hosts there is.
Minn is a winner take NO delegates. MO is a winner take NO delegates and Colorado is a winner take NO delegates. MO won't decide until March. Very LOW turnout at the poll in my area. I am going to vote for Paul since Newt is not on the ballot because I can't stand Santorum. I know freepers that are only voting for Santorum in Missouri to send a message to Romney but are crossing over to Newt in March.
Santorum is either the same or worse than Gingrich on big government/big spending. There's no reason you shouldn't trust Gingrich as much as Santorum. He fulfilled everything in the Contract with America. Despite all the negative attacks, I've not once seen Gingrich accused of breaking a campaign promise, and he was in Congress for 2 decades.
You guys need to read this thread about what Ron Paul supporters are doing. They are becoming delegates no matter who wins their caucuses. So they're saying even though Ron Paul may have got 10% of the vote, they've signed up to be 60% of the delegates. That means that if there's a brokered convention, they can vote for whoever they want to and that will be Ron Paul.
Newt and Rick people need to stay after the caucuses and sign up to be delegates (which means traveling to the state convention, and hopefully being picked to travel to the national convention). That's the only way to ensure Newt or Rick get the vote in a brokered convention. The buzz seems to be that Ron Paul and Mitt's people are nearly the only ones becoming delegates.
I cannot stand Las Vegas. And never go south out of Vegas on a Sunday night. Pissed off gamblers speeding out of town.
When I lived there I was driving a gravel truck for a construction company. We would start the day at 4:00am to avoid the heat of the day.
We have to go to Vegas for air travel. Great rates from there to almost anywhere.
While I agree, he has done alot in terms of the helping economy during Reagan and Clinton years, I think one of the things I have a hard time with is the whole snuggling on the couch with Pelosi/Climate Change thing.
But I do love how he isn't PC and It would be quite entertaining seeing him take it to Obama the way he has the ENEMYdia.
Probably someone who is not particularly controversial and who is considered acceptable to a majority of the party. Someone who hasn't made lots of political enemies on the national stage. So people like Palin are out right away.
What's "sanctimonious" about wanting to stop the killing of babies and having proper, rational disgust for homosexuality?
Comparing 2008 turnouts is a fairly good idea since the base year is one of the few in recent history where both parties start out without an incumbent president or vice president as the perceived front runner. You have to go back to 1952 to get a comparable situation.
Good laboratory states to pick for comparison are New Hampshire, Iowa and Minnesota. Not only because they are early in the process when the interest is the highest and the field completely winnowed down, but also because they are very high voter turnout states.
Here are the statistics from 2008:
Republican Caucus participants 118,696
Democrat Caucus participants 13,485
General Election voters 1,537,123
Caucus participants as percent of General Election voters 8.6%
New Hampshire:
Republican Primary voters 239,793
Democrat Primary voters 287,556
General Elections voters 710,970
Primary voters as percent of General Election voters 74.17%
Republican Caucus participants 62,828
Democrat Caucus participants 214,066
General Election voters 2,910,369
Caucus participants as percent of General Election voters 4.51%
You can run this type of math on any of the other states, but a few general rules hold sway:
Just to verify, look at the latest labatory ideal primary state in 2008 (also a high turn-out state).
South Dakota:
Republican Primary voters 60,964
Democrat Primary voters 97,797
General Elections voters 381,975
Primary voters as percent of General Election voters 41.56%
Bottom line is that while Primary polls tend toward accuracy because you have a large participation rate, Caucus polls can be all over the place because even in a high turnout state like Minnesota, you have less than 1 in 20 voters who ends up participating in the general election actually turning out to caucus.
I just don't see any destruction happening.
Whoever wins at the caucus level I sure hope can put their shoulder back in the socket from patting themselves on the back, it's no big deal.
This state will go for Obama in November.
Minnesotans need to focus no winning at the local level and take this state back.
No way will I get behind Santorum. He voted to fund the National Endowment for the Arts and to increase funding for them; he opposes privatization of Soc Sec and allowing younger workers to invest a portion of their OWN money towards retirement; he supports the min wage and govt regulation of wages; he was named PORKER of the month by Citizens Against Govt Waste which is a bipartisan taxpayers watchdog group. He is an earmark king and his irresponsibility in DC played a role in getting this country into the mess it is in today..along with his endorsement of Spector who caste the 60th vote to pass Obamacare. NO SANTORUM! GO NEWT!
Odd, Santorum is going to win the most liberal state in the midwest....
LOL! well, Minn. voted for Jessie "the body" Ventura and home of the Mondales. A rather strange group of "conservatives" behind Little Ricky. Also, I can't remember his name but there was a funeral in Minn for a prominent democrat that passed away and it was turned into a 3 ring circus and campaign for dems. I think it was when Bush ran against Kerry.
