It would be a wonderful thing to be proud of our nation's biggest brands, knowing that they are leading the world in how they engage with customers and deliver to our needs and desires.
A recent experience with a mid-sized ISP reminded me that customer service must be at the heart of any great brand. Whilst we start off as advocates for the brand, we can quickly turn to terrorists if we are wronged and neglected.
Brands in New Zealand have a great opportunity to go above and beyond due to our smaller size and reduced degrees of separation. We sit as an ideal test case of how brands in an ideal world could communicate adeptly with their audience, quickly solving disputes and generally further than what is expected. We could be a test case for best practice in how brands are becoming more 'human', responsive to their audience's needs and ultimately respectful of us as individuals, rather than as mere numbers.
My experience involved four months of poor service that brought about continued account charges - despite my account cancellation - and impersonal, cold and mechanical dealings from staff that lacked any empowerment. Nothing, including emails to the CEO and GM of call centres, could resolve my dilemma, until it was finally addressed within 10 minutes of posting my complaint to their Facebook page.
My frustration lies not in my own experience, but that our country's brands generally could and should be doing a lot better than they are, especially in these trying economic times. They should be exceeding our relatively low expectations and creating strong advocates among us that naturally share the joy of dealing with such a brand. This is the role of a brand in our life, fulfilling our deepest and most practical of desires. A great brand needs to be responsive at all points of contact, not just those that are publicly visible.
It starts with brands empowering their front-line people with the ability to make decisions. They should not be employed to just apologise to us ad nauseum – they should be the ones bringing delight into the customer's experience.
New Zealand brands can and should do better in delivering on what are seen as the basics. If they are basic, then why do so many fall short in achieving them? Instead brands focus on hosting large experiential events and quirky campaigns with cats and other animals, believing that this is how hearts and minds are won. But they are wrong.
Today, we as customers are vocal, sceptical and savvy to what is said and promised in the marketplace. Any brand that becomes obsessed with acquisition costs and forgets that those numbers represent people will find themselves struggling to stay favourable in the public eye. Brands that are open, transparent and actively engaged across all channels will win the hearts and minds of us and thereby command loyalty, trust and a premium over their competitors.
2013 should be the year when this country's brands rediscover what it means to deliver the basics, to engage in a human way and ultimately become responsive to customer requests and calls for action. Let 2013 be the year that New Zealand brands become truly world-class in customer service.

Mike Snow posted an excellent code snippet on how to implement your own Double Click functionality on his blog:
You could take his example and extend it by creating a new event in your own class, something like "Double Click"
Tags: silverlight 2, .net,
Technology | Programming
Assume you are registered for the KeyDown event on a ListBox control that contains a collection of CheckBoxes. You want to make your users' lives easier by letting them hit the space bar to toggle the CheckBox.IsChecked property you're in for a surprise!
If you're looking for an explanation of why you can't handle the Key.Space enumeration. According to Microsoft, "ButtonBase implements OnKeyDown in such a way that the SPACE key invokes a button click, but also sets Handled, which prevents SPACE from being reported as a KeyDown event that could be handled by a button instance". Obviously, ButtonBase has nothing to do with a ListBox, but we can see that depending upon the implementation of the OnKeyDown event, a class might not allow a specific event bubble up if the Handled property is set to true. This appears to be the case with the ListBox class as well. Since I cannot think of a reason for a ListBox (NOT an item) to not respond to the space bar, I don't mind changing this behavior.
So how do you get a ListBox to respond to the space bar? Well, young grasshopper, you must follow the Silverlight 2 way of creating your own class to function the way the base classes should. Create a class derived from ListBox and override OnKeyDown. In your derived class implementation, do NOT call the base class implementation all the time. Instead, set handled to false if the space key was pressed, for all other keys you should call the base class implementation. This allows the arrow keys to continue to function as you would expect.
protected override void OnKeyDown(KeyEventArgs e)
switch (e.Key)
case Key.Space:
e.Handled = false;

If you are using a custom ASP.NET web control to render your Silverlight 2 Object tag with the HtmlTextWriter, you need to make sure to render the Object tag's param elements as self-closing. Otherwise, you will discover that IE 6, 7, and 8 will ignore the invalid XHTML 1.0 Transitional "</param>" element and load the Object tag (meaning your Silverlight app) correctly but Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox will not.
Instead, you should render your param elements as self-closing by using the HtmlTextWriter's WriteBeginTag method and the SelfClosingTagEnd constant. According to MSDN's WriteBeginTag documentation, "the WriteBeginTag method does not write the closing angle bracket (>) of the markup element's opening tag. This allows the writing of markup attributes to the opening tag of the element." This means you can close it yourself with the SelfClosingTagEnd constant, which they do not demonstrate but is easily to accomplish and removes the need to call WriteEndTag in their example.
This behavior can be verified easily. If you remove the self-closing tag from a Visual Studio Silverlight Web's *.html test page and add the explictly closed element, the behavior will manifest itself.
PS - Chrome and Firefox will also not load the Object tag if you provide a param element with an empty value. For example: <param name="onerror" value="" />

The Gemini Legacy 35 will make her European debut at the 2013 Southampton Boat Show, Britain's best loved on-water boat show. The new 2013 Gemini Legacy will be available for boarding from September 13-22, 2013.
The Gemini Legacy 35 made her introduction to the UK sailing community at the 2013 Portsmouth Multihull Show with great success. The Legacy features fundamental improvements and progressive styling all of which captures the attention of show-goers.
"The new model really stirs things up at the shows... it's great to see so many sailors truly excited to get onboard and experience the new design," said Robin Hodges, who represents Gemini in the UK. "Of course, the Legacy keeps all the best design aspects of the Gemini concept. A 14' beam and the performance, stability and room of a cat is a rare combination. She easily fits into the standard-sized slips located along the southeast coast of Great Britain - that's convenience and cost-savings every sailor appreciates," Hodges continued.
During the show, the new owner of the first Gemini Legacy 35 in the UK ventured out for his maiden voyage aboard his new sailing catamaran in Portsmouth Harbour. With a gentle breeze, the Gemini Legacy 35 easily exceeded three-quarters wind speed and was a sailor's dream as she pointed beautifully at 45-degrees. Pushing 9 knots, the sporty Gemini Legacy 35 effortlessly took over the larger cats sailing in the harbour.
Come and view the newly designed Gemini Legacy in South Hampton Starting September 13th. Request a viewing onboard the Gemini in advance to avoid the long lines at the Southampton show.
The Show is located at Mayflower Park/Town Quay, Southampton SO15 1AG.
All visitors are advised that the recommended method of transport to the Boat Show is via public transport. However, there are many other ways to get to the Show, which are shown below:
Book your tickets in advance*, either online or by calling 0844 776 7766. Calls cost 5p per minute plus network extras. If you are calling outside of the UK the international number is +44 844 776 7766
Don't forget you can also purchase tickets on the door - on the day!

City Boards & Commissions
In keeping with the philosophy of citizen involvement, the City Council has historically sought the input of its residents in planning for the future of its community. In keeping with this philosophy, the City Council appoints residents to various boards, commissions, and committees to keep abreast of the changing needs of the community.
Types of Boards & Commissions
There are several types of City Boards and Commissions: Charter Commissions, Committees, and Boards; Municipal Code Committees; Standing Committees; and Ad hoc Committees. Charter Commissions were created by the City Charter on April 22, 1927. Municipal Code Committees are created by Ordinance, and are outlined in the City's Municipal Code. Standing Committees consist of citizens only, or a mixed group of council members and citizens. Their assignment is not necessarily permanent, but a standing committee may exist to address issues arising more or less continually in an area of interest to the Council. The City Council has appointed and created various ad hoc committees over the past years. These committees are utilized as advisors to the City Council on specific matters that do not logically fall into commissions' or committees' traditional areas of concern. Ad hoc committees are considered to have a short life span and culminate their work with a recommendation to the Council.
Role of Commissions, Committees, and Boards
The strength and success of Pacific Grove City Government is, to a large degree, reflective of the quality of service performed by volunteers. While the nature of decision-making has required the separation of tasks to various commissions, it is viewed that all of the City volunteers serve to a common end and are not restricted by departmentalism in the advice to the Council. Actions taken by committees may be appealed to the City Council.
Commissions, committees, and boards use common rules, although each has a different role within the City organization. Term lengths and limits vary with different commissions. These positions are voluntary and non-paid.
Charter commission members must be a registered elector of the City and may not be a member of any other Charter board or commission and shall not hold any position in the City Government.
All terms commence on February 1st and vary from two to four years in length, depending on the commission. Unexcused absence from three consecutive regular meetings may be considered as cause for removal by the Council. More information is available in the Board and Commission Member Handbook.
Council Policies governing Boards, Commissions, and Committees.
Applications for Prospective Commissioners
Each year, the City solicits applications from persons interested in actively participating in local government. From time to time, there are vacancies caused by mid-term resignations. Applications can be obtained at City Hall or can be printed from the Adobe Acrobat link below. Information regarding application deadlines and submissions may be obtained by contacting the City Clerk's Office at (831)648-3181.
Applicants are encouraged to emphasize their background to match those needed for a particular board or commission. The Mayor reviews the applications, consults with committee chairs and council members regarding committee requirements, and then makes recommendations to the City Council. Appointments must be confirmed by a majority vote of the Council.

Dramaturgie im zeitgenössischen Tanz ist ? positiv gemeint ? ein heißes Eisen. Idealerweise sind Dramaturginnen und Dramaturgen während der Erarbeitung eines Stücks die besten Freunde der Choreografen. more
When Umberto Eco goes on TV, viewer levels skyrocket. Five
million people watched the famous semiotician and writer on channel 3
of the state-owned broadcaster Rai at the beginning of February, when
he appeared as guest on Fabio Fazio's show "Que tempo
fa". The programme's blend of intelligent talk, satire and weather
forecasts also says a lot about the social climate. The tremendous
popularity of the show with Umberto Eco must have had Silvio Berlusconi seething with envy. Spurred on by poor showings in the polls, Berlusconi has just ended a four-week TV marathon.
He appeared twice as often as all other leading politicians taken
together, although in the political talk show "Porta a Porta" he was
only asked half as many questions as his opponent Romano Prodi.
On his whirlwind tour, Berlusconi appeared on state-owned and private
broadcasters. No matter where you zapped, the prime minister was there
to greet you, live, taped or as a rerun, advertising on his own behalf
although the election campaign officially began only on February 11.
Berlusconi even hired a personal director for one broadcast. In another
he was cheered on by youthful claqueurs, while in a third his former
government spokesman asked the questions.
Umberto Eco agreed to the rare television appearance because his new book has just come out in Italy. It is no accident that "A passo di gambero â Guerre calde e populismo mediatico (At a prawn's pace â hot wars and media populism) appeared punctually for the election campaign. Eco is widely regarded as an unrelenting critic of telecracy à la Berlusconi. He had originally promised his publisher a collection of philosophical and semiological essays, Eco said on "Que tempo fa". But in view of the parliamentary elections slated for April 9, it seemed more pressing to publish a collection of his essays, articles and lectures on politics and the media in the "Bush-Berlusconi era" from the years 2000 â 2005. The country is running backwards, he says, like prawns on the seabed. The law on federalism is a case in point, which in Eco's view takes the country back to before the unification of 1861. And in football stadia across the country the "Roman salute" which Eco was obliged to carry out as a ten-year-old under fascism is once more in vogue. "In the last five years, Italy has started down the road to perdition. If we keep it up we will soon become a third world country," Eco had prophesied in Corriere della Sera.
According to Eco, the new development which has resulted in the "Italian laboratory" is Berlusconi's "media-populistic regime". Berlusconi's Italy is like a dictatorship that has been spared the trouble of creating one. With the aid of television, the prime minister can circumvent parliament and addresses himself directly to the people, who he sees as his sole legitimating force. But as Eco explains, the "people" does not exist. Berlusconi's sentence "'I will only be judged by the people' bespeaks a populism based on the fiction that only the people can justify actions." Eco counters with reference to an important tenet of communications theory: "The mass media do not create opinions, they simply strengthen existing ones." For that reason, Berlusconi's potential for manipulation will reach its limits at some point, Eco explains: once electors decide to vote him out of office, the television won't be of any help to him. On his travels Eco is provided with ample proof that the "Italian situation" is causing worries abroad. Yet the pats on the shoulder are more humbling than comforting. Although they are meant to signal solidarity, for Eco they are not at all altruistic. "I always say to people in other countries: you pretend to be worried about us, but in fact you're just afraid something like what's going on here could also happen to you."
Sabina Guzzanti
Filmmaker Sabina Guzzanti had similar experiences when presenting her documentary film "Viva Zapatero" at international festivals. The film deals with her encounter with censorship in the state broadcaster Rai: "People see my film as a thriller when I show it abroad, a nightmare that could also happen there," the satirist said in an interview with the daily newspaper il manifesto. "Viva Zapatero" recently won the Italian documentary film prize "Il nastro d'argento". For Guzzanti, the award comes as an unexpected success and a belated triumph against Rai, which took her satirical programme "RaiOT" off the air in Autumn 2003 after just one of six planned episodes had been shown. In "RaiOT" â Guzzanti settles old scores with the Italian media establishment, poking fun at anything from tailor-made laws for Berlusconi's Mediaset group to the concentration of advertising revenues to the system of information manipulation which no one has spoken out against â apart from a couple of comedians. Rai's executive board justified its decision to stop RaiOT at the time by saying that Mediaset had planned to charge the state television broadcaster with slander, and would demand compensation for damages caused when its stock market value sank after the first programme was broadcast.
"Viva Zapatero" documents Guzzanti's personal quest to discover the causes, circumstances and consequences of the censorship she suffered. Particularly horrifying is one scene showing the comedian with a microphone in her hand, asking members of Rai's executive board for statements. The Italian judiciary had decided on all counts that RaiOT in no way defamed Mediaset, and that it simply portrayed the facts. But Guzzanti receives no answer when she asks whether RaiOT would be able to resume broadcasting. With arrogant, disdainful looks, the upper echelons of Rai leave her standing there without a word. The Italian press, on the contrary â and not just on the right wing â refused to discuss the facts of the case, accusing Guzzanti of confusing satire with information. And so, they argued, there was no offence against the freedom of opinion because in any event a satire programme is not allowed to cover news.
Episode one of Guzzanti's "RaiOT"
Guzzanti also gave interviews with satirists and journalists abroad. There the most puzzlement was caused by the fact that there was no rebellion in Italy against this censorship. Even representatives of the Italian opposition concentrated their criticism on Guzzanti, instead of speaking out against Berlusconi and his henchmen. For this reason she is sceptical about a return to freedom of expression should the centre-left coalition win the elections. Until now there have been no specific suggestions of ways to stop the amalgamation of politics and TV in Italy, where Rai's executive board is nominated exclusively by politicians. In her blog, Sabina Guzzanti published a draft law on the subject, based on the model of Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero. Immediately after his election the Spanish premier pushed through the independence of television.
For the official election campaign, the politicians have reserved the TV stage exclusively for themselves. The so-called "par condicio law" stipulates that as of February 11 this year, only politicians may speak about politics on state and public TV â and then only when the power balance between opposition and majority is even and both sides are given the same speaking time. Journalists, comedians, writers and filmmakers are banned from talking about politics on TV. Civil society has to keep its mouth shut on the TV piazza until the elections are over, no matter whether the issue is cuts in cultural funding, problems in the heath service or environmental damage.
The documentary film by Enrico Deaglio, director of the weekly newspaper diario, and journalist Beppe Cremagnani is coming out as if on cue. "Quando c'era Silvio. Storia del periodo berlusconiano" (The time with Silvio. The story of the Berlusconi era) combines a look back over the epoch with a farewell to the prime minister. The documentary comes out on DVD on March 1 and will be distributed via diario, the nationwide network of the Feltrinelli bookshops as well as in video rental stores. Deaglio did ask Rai's third channel whether there was any interest in the film but he received no answer.
"Quando c'era Silvio" combines reportage elements with journalistic research and grotesque scenes a la Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11", refreshing the memory of thirty years of Italian history and presenting a number of previously unreleased documents and interviews. The film begins with Berlusconi's tomb. Berlusconi is taking Gorbachev on a tour of his mausoleum in his villa in Arcore, which the Russian clearly finds tasteless in the extreme. Deaglio and Cremagnani show aspects of the Silvio story which the major national newspapers ignore as if they were not their problem, and which Rai prefers to keep shut away in its archives. Among them is the full version of Berlusconi's speech in Strasbourg at the start of the EU presidency, which culminated in his calling Martin Schulz, German SPD Member of the European Parliament, a "concentration camp guard".
Scene from Deaglio and Cremagnani's "Quando c'era Silvio"
The ninety-minute documentary on the prime minister, who has trebled his fortune since entering politics, and who after five years in office is clearly far richer again than he was at the start of his term â centres on Berlusconi's alleged business relationship with Cosa Nostra, the Sicilian Mafia. Two of Berlusconi's aides and colleagues have been charged with having Cosa Nostra contacts. The Senator Marcello dell'Utri, who was sentenced by the Court of First Instance to a nine-year prison sentence in 2004, is today selecting the candidates for Forza Italia's electoral list. During the trial of dell'Utri, the witness Berlusconi made good use of his right to silence when questioned by the judge. Shame and unease characterise journalist Fabrizio Calvi's interview with Sicilian judge Paolo Borsellino in the spring of 1992. Calvi asks Borsellino whether it is normal for Cosa Nostra to be interested in Berlusconi. The judge replies sixty days before his murder: "It is normal that the owner of substantial amounts of money will look for ways to use this money, and this goes for money laundering as well as the revenues this money can generate." Deaglio and Cremagnani hope that their film will be "a hit". (Here an interview with Deaglio in Corriere della sera.)
And film director Nanni Moretti will be bringing Berlusconi to the big screen. After a period of political involvement in the non-parliamentary opposition movement Girotondi, the filmmaker has returned to his old profession. "Il Caimano" (The cayman) will come out in Italian cinemas on March 24. In it Moretti tells of the desperate attempt of a young woman film director to make a film about Berlusconi, but who is unable to find any actors prepared to take on the part. When the sole aspirant to the explosive role backs out after his initial acceptance, the film becomes increasingly mysterious and surreal. Moretti is loathe to reveal any more at the moment. But he assures that "Il Caimano" will touch a nerve and raise doubts. (Here an interview with Moretti in L'Espresso.)
Many people would be only too happy to say goodbye to the Berlusconi era after the election in two months' time. Like Enrico Deglio, other artists, journalists and intellectuals would love to talk about their media prime minister in the past tense, and start analysing the past twelve years. The daily newspaper La Repubblica recently ran an article on new facets in the history of Berlusconi the businessman. In Milan a manifesto surfaced which Berlusconi had sent out to thirty top managers of his Fininvest company. The brochure dates back to 1991 and bristles with fascist ideology and dictatorial world improvement fantasies. It shows that despite claims to the contrary, Berlusconi did not first enter the political arena in 1994. In fact, three years beforehand he had drawn up the outlines of a preliminary political manifesto. The texts in the pamphlet are addressed to confidantes and friends, many of whom like the former minister for culture, Giuliano Urbani, are still busying away in his orbit.
One of the texts on the role of the media was written by Baget Bozzo, Forza Italia ideologue and aesthetics professor. He explains that the reality represented in television is an interpretation but at the same time objective: "The world will become the one we see in television." Yet control of the media was apparently not Berlusconi's idea. The Fininvest pamphlet also reveals parallels with the guidelines of the secret Freemasons' lodge Propaganda 2 (P2), which Berlusconi joined in 1978 as member 1816 (more). The industrialist and ex-fascist Licio Gelli founded P2 to group together the most powerful representatives of society's elite and thus gain control over all the corridors of power: generals, secret agents, journalists, industrialists and bankers, many of whom had Mafia contacts. The aim of the secret lodge was to stage a coup that would prevent the communists getting into power. In 1981, the public prosecutors stopped P2s right-wing conspiratorial machinations. In recent years Gelli has told the press that Berlusconi got most of his political ideas from him. But articles on the subject have not triggered a public debate. They are but ephemera in the daily media grind, and historians who might be able shed some public light on this epoch have no voice in today's Italy.
A 12-year conflict of interest between the media czar and the politician Berlusconi has dulled Italy's memory. For this reason a number of journalists, artists and intellectuals are calling for Italians to think back to 1996, when the centre-left government did not push through jurisdiction to prevent this conflict of interest, contrary to its promises. To this day, none of the politicians responsible are particularly willing to talk about this grave institutional error. And instead of distancing themselves from Berlusconi's TV madness (something they constantly purported to be doing), the leading opposition politicians were always only too delighted to appear on the popular TV shows.
The consequences of this conflict of interest are seen everywhere. One of them is the tailoring of the TV duel to Berlusconi's needs in the run-up to the elections. Rai's parliamentary supervisory committee has stipulated that the prime minister will twice face the centre-left candidate, Romano Prodi, in the middle of March and the beginning of April. Five years ago, Berlusconi did everything in his power not to have to appear against his opponent Francesco Rutelli. Now he has suddenly redoubled his willingness to speak, meeting Prodi as both the leader of the centre-right alliance and as the head of Forza Italia. But there will be no regulation of how long the candidates can speak and it will be forbidden to directly contradict one another's claims. Berlusconi's apoplectic outbursts will therefore go unchecked. The preposterous conclusion of the TV election campaign and the grand finale of the one-man-Silvio show is the so-called press conference to be given by the prime minister two days before the elections, to gather up all the undecided voters into the fold.
The journalists Gianni Barbacetto (homepage) und Giacomo Papi have already published their ideas in diario on what Italian TV might look like post Silvio, if the centre-left alliance Unione wins. The restructuring of the media landscape is complicated and demands more than anything plenty of gumption. The TV and media chapter in the Unione's election manifesto sounds promising, but it is rather vague and constitutes just three percent of the entire manifesto (pages 259ff of the pdf document). The centre-left politicians promise they are not planning a new party-political parcelling of Rai like that which has been in effect for decades, but there is no guarantee they will actually free television from the clutches of politics. And for a meaningful change to take place, it would mean passing a law similar to that laid out in Sabina Guzzanti's blog.
Barbacetto and Papi are doubtful whether a centre-left government is capable or even willing to stand up to the powerful Mediaset lobby, which has supporters even among its own ranks. Breaking through the monopoly position of Berlusconi's Mediaset would be protracted and complicated because Berlusconi controls not only television channels, publishing companies, print-media and cinema distribution, but also advertising revenues and, thanks to the media law passed by his government, the sale of decoders for terrestrial digital television. The 'Gasparri law' (named after the minister for communication) has also secured Mediaset a future growth of about one billion euros. A future government would also have to address conflict of interest questions, establish an efficient and independent control body against potential breaches and agree on the number of frequencies and channels a company can occupy and own.
But the future of TV lies elsewhere, Barbacetto and Papi explain in their article. In the long term, everything will be transmitted via satellite and telephone cables, and Berlusconi is already waiting in the wings, dreaming of taking over the Italian Telecom, the future power house for TV. If he succeeds, he will remain the Italian media mogul for years to come. A serious media reform would therefore have to establish a clear division between the owner or licensee of a channel and the content provider. The Unione manifest lists this intention. Whether Prodi and his allies are genuinely capable of cutting through the dense thicket of politics, technology, lobbies, market and television channels will be revealed in two months' time.

Why am I so good at playing bitches? I think it's because I'm not a bitch. Maybe that's why Miss Crawford always plays ladies. - Bette DavisThe origin of the Davis-Crawford dispute was over a man – actor Franchot Tone. While Bette Davis was filming "Dangerous" (1935) opposite Tone, she fell in love with him, unaware that he was involved with Joan Crawford at the time. When she found out, animosity sparked. Davis was later quoted as saying about Crawford, "...She's slept with every male star in MGM except Lassie." Crawford attempted to become friends with Davis, but unfortunately, the damage was done.
It was not until both were older and lost their star power that the studios invested in "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?" (1962). Working so closely together on a project gave both actresses the chance to wreak havoc on one another for years of animosity. In one scene, Davis apparently kicked Crawford so hard that Joan ended up in the hospital with bruises and a concussion. When asked about working with Joan Crawford on the film, Bette Davis has commented: "The best time I ever had with Joan was when I pushed her down the stairs."

Croatian nationals - claiming benefits
If you are an EEA national who has come to the UK from abroad and want to claim certain means-tested benefits you must satisfy the conditions of a test, known as the habitual residence test (HRT). To satisfy these conditions, you must show:
- you have a legal right to live in the UK. This is called a right to reside, and
- you intend to settle in the UK, Isle of Man, Channel Islands or Ireland (the 'Common Travel Area') and make it your home for the time being. This is known as habitual residence.
This page explains what your rights are if you're from Croatia.
Which Croatian nationals have the right to reside
Croatia joined the EU on 1 July 2013 but Croatian nationals do not yet have the same rights to claim benefits in the UK as other EEA nationals.
From1 July 2013, if you are a Croatian national, or the family member of a Croatian national, you will have the right to reside and will therefore be able to claim certain means-tested benefits if you fall into one of the following categories:
- you are working in authorised employment
- you have completed 12 months' authorised employment with fewer than 30 days of non-working time within that period
- you are self-employed
- you are self-sufficient
- you are a student
- you are a family member of an EEA national in the UK who themselves has a right to reside.
- More information about your status as self-employed
- More information about your status as self-sufficient
- More information about your status as a student
- More information about your status as a family member
Working in authorised employment
If you're a Croatian national, you are normally only allowed to work in the UK if you get prior permission from the Home Office. This is known as working under the Worker Authorisation Scheme. You need to apply for an accession worker card before you start work. You will need a new card every time you change jobs and only certain types of work entitle you to a card. If an employer employs you when you are not authorised they could be committing an offence and you could also be committing an ofence if you work without authorisation or in breach of your authorisation conditions.
If you're on maternity or sick leave and you are registered as a worker, you will keep your worker status as long as you're still employed.
While you're working in authorised work you satisy the right to reside test and are exempt from the remainder of the habitual residence test from your first day of authorised work.
You can find more information about the Worker Authorisation Scheme on the GOV.UK website at www.gov.uk.
Are you exempt from registering your work?
There are some Croatian nationals who can work in the UK without needing to get permission first. If you're in this category you're treated in the same way as other EEA nationals. You are exempt from the Worker Authorisation Scheme if you come into one of the following categories:-
- you had already been in the UK legally for a year on 1 July 2013 and had no restriction on your employment
- you were already working legally in the UK on 1 July 2013 and had been doing so for a year
- you are the partner of a UK national
- you are the family member of a non-Croatian EEA national who themselves has the right to reside
- you are the partner or child under 21 (or over 21 and a dependent) of a Croatian national who is in authorised work
- you have a permanent right to reside in the UK
- you are highly skilled and have a certificate allowing you unconditional access to the UK jobs market
- you are a student with a certificate allowing you to work up to 20 hours a week in term-time and full time during vacations.
To see a full list of who is exempt, go to the GOV.UK website at www.gov.uk .
If you're exempt from having to register under the Worker Authorisation scheme, you will have the same rights as other EEA nationals under the right to reside and habitual residence test rules. For example, you will be able to sign on as unemployed and have a right to reside as a jobseeker.
Completed twelve months' authorised employment
If you've completed 12 months of authorised employment in the UK, you will no longer have to do any further work under the Worker Authorisation Scheme and you have the same rights as other EEA nationals to claim benefit and help with housing. You will be treated as having worked for 12 months if you were legally working at the beginning of that period and have not had more than 30 days of not working during that time. So the earliest you could complete 12 months of authorised employment if you're a Croatian national would be 1 July 2014, unless you're exempt from having to register.
It is important to remember that after working for 12 months you do not automatically satisfy the right to reside or habitual residence tests but you will be in the same position as other EEA nationals. So, for example, you could have the right to reside as a jobseeker if you are then signing on and looking for work.
Next steps
- What is the habitual residence test
- The habitual residence test - how a decision is made
- What to do if you fail the habitual residence test

Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Early Game:
Start with Longsword + Health-Pot or - if u feel to squishy - with Dorans Shield! Never take Dorans Blade, cause the HP/5 on the Shield is much better then the 4% Lifesteal! Try to get on lane with some other hard harassing champion (like Pantheon) and wait for good moments to slaughter Champs with less life. Use a Q-W-E-Combination to engage (that applies to the whole game) and exhaust the enemy if necessary! Never use Charge against 2 also hard harrasing champions (i.e. Pantheon + Tryndamere), they will kill you definetly. Against such enemies, stay def or switch lanes.
Mid Game:
Start ganking and try to boost your farm as hard as you can. Xin is a real good champ to farm with. Collect gold and stack up your item build.
Late Game:
If you did a decent game until here, your team just must support you in the right way, and you will kill the whole enemy team.
Xin Zhao is - at the moment - definetly overpowered. He will get banned in the most ranked games, so don't be sad and play Pantheon (stack Bloodthirsters!) or Garen instead. If he dont get banned, try to safe him for your team at least.

Bob Beakley's North Central Texas farm operation is as flexible as a well-oiled slinky.
The diversified farm he runs with his son, Steve, near Ennis, Texas, gives him options he wouldn't have with just a two-crop or even a three-enterprise rotation.
They raise cotton, corn, wheat, soybeans and sometimes milo. They also maintain a cattle herd.
Diversity may pay off more than usual this year as the Beakleys prepare for an uncertain spring planting season in which rainfall is iffy, commodity prices remain low and high production costs persist.
"We will stay as flexible as possible for as long as possible," Beakley says.
He plans no wholesale changes, even with a cost/price challenge.
"After visiting with my insurance advisers I've found that some crops take quite a bit more to put in than others, but (with higher input crops) insurance coverage is still better. The bottom line remains pretty close on all crops except for milo.
"We've pretty much decided to stay with our normal rotation but we will wait until the last minute to make final decisions on variety selection, planting rates, fertility and herbicide use. Rainfall between now and planting time also may dictate decisions."
He's concerned about moisture. The Beakleys do not irrigate and rainfall has been sparse since last summer.
"At corn planting time, usually beginning at the end of February, if we have no moisture, we'll hold off and maybe plant milo later in the season," he says. "The first week in February, a good portion of Central and East Texas got some rain, so we do have soil moisture but nothing like a full profile. We need one more good shower to plant corn."
He's already applied some herbicide, which affects crop selection on those acres.
He's looking at tillage and has been eliminating trips across fields for several years. "I have a small amount of no-till wheat following a corn crop that shows excellent results so far," he says. 'I'll probably increase acreage in no-till wheat next year. I'm moving slowly into less and less tillage with high diesel prices."
He says proper planting equipment makes a critical difference in reduced tillage systems. "I don't have all the equipment I need but I can get custom planting. I did that with the wheat," he says.
He's cut cultivation trips with other row crops as well. "In corn, I normally plant behind cotton. I disk once, run the field cultivator once, harrow and plant. But that varies from year to year. This year we've had no winter rain so we have fewer weeds so we need less tillage and less herbicide. That may change with a wet year."
Cotton usually follows wheat or soybeans. He needs little tillage behind soybeans. "I can plant no-till easily. Behind wheat, tillage depends on conditions at harvest. If the ground was wet and combines left ruts, we need tillage to smooth it out. We also may run a field cultivator and spray herbicides. It all depends on the amount of moisture we get in the winter."
He likes to follow soybeans with wheat to take advantage of fertilizer left by the beans. "I get an immediate response.
"I have no definite system for soybean rotation," he says. But he doesn't like to plant any crops back-to-back. "Rotation also depends on the land. If I have root rot infestations, I may not grow cotton in that field for three or four years and I may go two years with corn or wheat. I have some bottomland that produces good soybeans, so I've plant beans there for the last three or four years and they seem to do well."
He says Asian soybean rust does not affect his planting decisions yet but he's concerned about the potential for damage. He hopes sentinel plots and reports from neighboring states will give him ample time to prepare.
He says forward pricing fuel and diesel to lock in prices offers little help. "Prices are too high to justify forward contracting," he says. 'It's the same with commodities except prices are too low to lock in. When they get to break-even or show a little profit, we'll start."
He says on-farm storage has been a valuable marketing tool. "We store almost all the soybeans and grain we grow," he says. "And we're building more storage."
He says storage adds to the operation's flexibility. "Usually we like to price grain just before harvest. We can contract it, store it on the farm and move it after harvest. Or we can hold some until prices improve."
He says on-farm storage also eliminates a lot of stress at harvest time. "We can handle the crops quickly if we don't have to worry about moving them to a commercial elevator. I also maintain more quality control."
He sells all his grain himself and believes that by maintaining control of it in his facilities he can ensure buyers get what they want.
Growing registered seed is part of his market strategy. "We grow for AgriPro and sell certified planting seed. That works well for us."
Beakley looks forward to the 2006 cotton crop, the first full season under a newly initiated Boll Weevil Eradication Program. "I expect, with normal rainfall, we will make better yields and better quality," he says. "Without rain, we wouldn't make anything anyway."
He also expects some first-year glitches with early destruction of beneficial insects. "Planting 95 percent Bt cotton will help," he said. "We use Bollgard anyway."
He plans to use some Bollgard II this year and some Roundup Flex. "I have not used either of those enough yet to be comfortable with them," he says. "But our stacked gene cotton yields better than anything else we grow. We get better yield and quality and we spray less."
The Beakley cattle enterprise also plays an important role in the diversified operation. They have been fortunate this year to have adequate feedstuff for their cattle. "We bought cotton burrs from the gin last fall," Beakley says. "We hauled that to our cattle for two months. We also fed cattle some cheap grain we had in storage and saved our hay. We still have plenty of hay."
He still has grain in storage for sale and feeding some helped carry his cattle through winter.
"Being diversified has all kinds of advantages," he says.
In fact, if he does not get adequate rainfall to plant corn he says he could wait until April and plant "7,000 acres of cotton. I wouldn't do that, but I could."
He says if he does have to delay planting that long he would plant cotton and grain sorghum.
"I have a combine so costs for that machine go on whether I have a grain crop or not. I need to plant some grain."
He also says that with nothing but cotton harvest time stress would be intense.
"But more than the weather, I'm concerned about rising production costs and no outlook for better prices. And we are very uncertain about how the government program will turn out. But I believe it will be something we can live with."

Peanut producers should be knowledgeable and know their real cost of shelling, treating and storing before committing to plant non-professionally produced seed, says Terry Hollifield of the Georgia Crop Improvement Association.
"Georgia peanut producers expect and demand high-quality, genetically pure seed," said Hollifield, speaking at the recent Georgia Peanut Farm Show in Albany. "And obtaining uniform stands is one of the keys to producing high-quality peanuts."
But producing high-quality, genetically pure peanut seed is both expensive and specialized, he adds. "Saving one's own seed may not be as cost effective as it seems," he says. "Several factors add to the cost of professionally grown seed, including Seed Certification Inspections to assure genetic purity, exercising proper drying technique, isolating and identifying varieties, storage and special handling during shelling, treating, bagging and transporting seed," says Hollifield.
Peanut producers should be aware of significant legal issues associated with saving seed, he says. "Currently, with few if any exceptions, peanut varieties grown in Georgia have one or more forms of legal protection limiting or preventing producers from saving or using their own seed," he explains.
Varieties protected under the USDA-administrated Plant Variety Protection Act of 1970, amended in 1994, may not be sold, marketed, offered for sale, delivered, consigned or exchanged without the explicit consent of the owner of the variety, says Hollifield.
"It is illegal to condition or shell the variety for the purpose of propagation. However, a producer may save seed for the sole purpose of planting his holdings," he says.
Seed varieties protected by U.S. Utility Patent issued by the United States Patent and Trademark office may not be saved for planting, he says, and there is no farmer exemption.
"The only legal provision for peanut seed production of varieties covered by a patent is by a licensing agreement with the patent owner. It is illegal to condition or shell a patent-protected variety for the purpose of propagation," says Hollifield.
A variety may be protected by both the Plant Variety Protection Act and a Patent, he continues. To be safe, producers should contact the owner of the variety or the Georgia Crop Improvement Association at (706) 542-2351 or [email protected], or www.certifiedseed.org.
Hollifield reminded growers that substantial fines will and have been levied in Georgia for violating the laws protecting patented seed.
As of January 2009, the following varieties were protected as "Patented," meaning that a farmer may not save the seed: Andru II, ANorden, AT1-1, AT-215, AT201, AT-3085RO, Brantley, Flavor Runner 458, Florida Fancy, Florida-07, Georgia-02C, Georgia-04S, Georgia-05E, GA Hi OL, GK7-hi oleic, GP-1, Hull, McCloud, Olin, SunOleic 95R, SunOleic 97R, AgraTech VC-2 and York.
The following varieties are protected by the Plant Protection Act and a farmer may save enough seed to plant his acreage: AP-3, AP-4, AT-3081R, Carver, CHAMPS, Coan, C99R, DP-1, Georgia Green, Georgia Greener, Georgia-01R, Georgia-03L, Georgia-06G, Georgia-07W, Gregory, NC 12C, Perry, Phillips, Tifguard, ViruGard and Wilson.
Hollifield stresses that producers should contact the Georgia Crop Improvement Association if they are uncertain about the status of a variety.

Israel says it has plans to build the largest number of settler homes since 1992, in defiance of an international outcry against the Tel Aviv regime's land grab policies in the occupied Palestinian territories.
Israeli Minister of Military Affairs Avigdor Lieberman made the provocative remarks in a press conference at the start of a cabinet meeting on Sunday, adding that plans had been advanced for 8,345 homes in the occupied West Bank, including 3,066 scheduled for "immediate construction."
"The numbers for the first half of 2017 are the highest since 1992," Lieberman told reporters and ministers.
On Thursday, Israeli anti-settlement group, Peace Now, which monitors settlement activities in the West Bank, revealed that Tel Aviv had advanced plans for constructing 7,721 settler units since January, almost triple the figure for all of last year, which amounted to 2,699 units.
Peace Now said the plans were at various stages of the approval process and the units were located in a number of settlements across the occupied West Bank. Last week alone, the occupying regime advanced plans for over 3,000 settlement homes.
The move is a blatant violation of the United Nations Security Council's Resolution 2334, issued on December 23 last year, which demands that Israel "immediately and completely cease all settlement activities in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem" al-Quds.
It also states that the building of settlements by Israel has "no legal validity and constitutes a flagrant violation under international law."
Since the inauguration of US President Donald Trump in January, the regime in Tel Aviv has stepped up its construction of settler units on occupied Palestinian land in a blatant violation of international law.
In his last month's visit to the occupied territories, Trump reportedly urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to hold back on such controversial projects, which could further cloud chances of a so-called two-state solution.
Trump, who met with both Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, purportedly sought what he termed as the "ultimate deal." He urged both sides to restart the so-called peace negotiations.
As the Israeli regime strives to fortify its military occupation by unleashing settlement construction, there seems to be little chances, if any, of success of Trump's "ultimate deal."
About 600,000 Israelis live in over 230 illegal settlements built since the 1967 Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories of the West Bank and East Jerusalem al-Quds. The occupying settlers are living alongside about 4.9 million indigenous Palestinians.
The Palestinian Authority wants the West Bank as part of a future independent Palestinians state, with East Jerusalem al-Quds as its capital.

Some of the most successful police officers were successful because they were able to think like a crook, or have a criminal's mindset. This really isn't too hard to do if you know anything about the profession, and that is becoming more and more easy with the types of programming on television these days. Having the mindset of a criminal is beneficial in many other endeavors.
Train yourself to look for criminal opportunity and the law enforcement element in an area. The best detectives can easily spot opportunities for the criminal element. It stands to reason that a good criminal then, is one who can spot an undercover detective "a mile away."
Be aware of your surroundings at all times. Look for opportunities for criminal action as well as self preservation. Also search out places where you can be concealed or inconspicuous. Dark shadows, obstructed corners, crowded areas and places with multiple entry and exit points are ideal locations for successful criminal activity.
Read detective books. Especially read those written by detectives. Read true crime books written by cops. You will learn from the mistakes of the great criminal masterminds and what to avoid. You will learn to think how a cop thinks, and therefore, learn to identify what he is likely to overlook.
Practice going to places where you stick out like a sore thumb and try to blend in with the surroundings. Wear dirty, torn clothing into a high end department store. Inconspicuously search for those who are looking for you. You have a tremendous chance to be profiled and closely watched by security, so use this as practice at eluding and blending in.
Lookout for an escape and have a "plan b" at all times. The best criminals know how to think ahead at least one step at all times just as all great chess players think. Learning how to anticipate the move of your opponent is your best offense as well as your greatest defense.

Officials are expected to confirm that Dan Morgan, from Brecon, smashed the current record time for the obscure sport by more than eight seconds.
To complete the race, contestants must swim two lengths of a 60yd (55m) muddy, water-filled trench using flippers but no recognised swimming strokes.
The annual event has gained a cult following, with hundreds of spectators gathering to watch about 140 competitors from as far afield as Australia and Poland take part.
The audience was treated to a range of spectacles including a fancy dress category alongside the men's, women's and junior competitions.
Mr Morgan's time was unofficially recorded as one minute and 30.06 seconds, comfortably eclipsing the previous best time of one minute and 38.15 seconds.
Prior to the contest, the chair of the championships suggested that a new record could be set after the bogs were cleaned out for the first time in ten years.
The removal of discarded snorkels and flippers from previous events along with silt from the bottom of the trenches made the course easier for participants to negotiate.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - King College ran to a fourth-place run Saturday at the 2010 NCAA Division II Men's Cross Country Southeast Region Championship, just outside of an automatic qualifying spot for the NCAA Division II National Championship, but a Tornado earned All-Region honors.
The Tornado totaled 137 points, 19 behind Mars Hill (N.C.) College for the last of the three automatic bids. The region crown was captured by nationally ranked Queens (N.C.) University of Charlotte with Columbus State (Ga.) University finishing second. Queens, a region winner for a fourth-straight time, posted a team score of 36 with Columbus State 43 behind.
Naseem Haje (Hagerstown, Md.) ran the race in 31 minutes and 47.3 seconds, good enough for 11th. He was 12 seconds outside the Top-10, but the sophomore made it to the All-Region squad along with the rest of the Top-15.
Spencer Frantom (Morristown, Tenn.) was three seconds out of the Top-15 and All-Region honors with his run of 32.20.5 in 18th.
Justin Humphreys (Bristol, Tenn.) needed 33:14.8 to finish which ranked 30th. Close behind in 34th was Daniel Hamilton (Franklin, N.C.). Hamilton crossed the finish line at the 33:22.4 mark.
Taylor Dix (Memphis, Tenn.) rounded out King's Top-5 in 48th with his time of 33:59.6.
The individual crown was captured by Columbus State's Meshack Koyiaki in 29:45.5, two seconds in front of Queens' Michael Crouch. Koyiaki was runner up in the 2009 event.
Queens put five runners in the Top-13, with four in the Top-10, while Columbus State had three among the Top-11.
King entered the event ranked No. 4 in the region by the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association. Mount Olive (N.C.) College, the No. 3 team in the region rankings, finished the region championship in sixth. Mars Hill came into the event No. 5 in the region ranking.
The racers were at McAlpine Park in Charlotte, N.C. as Queens hosted the event for the first time.

Your cart is empty.:( Let's fix that!Close
There is nothing children, big and small, love more than seeing their artistic masterpieces proudly displayed at home, or adorning their bedroom walls. The grin that accompanies "I made this!!" is priceless. As the weather continues to be extra cold this year, you and your kids may be spending more time indoors, and simple paper crafts are a entertaining and thrifty way to spend an afternoon! If you're not comfortable with artwork decorating your living room, carve out a special area to be an art wall or hang clips along a hallway so your child can see their work proudly displayed.
Each of these projects can be adapted for the smallest of artistes, just adjust your involvement level, and plan to work only as an assistant when needed for older preschoolers. None require special supplies, in fact, you probably have most of the items (with paper being the important factor) kicking around the house. Utilize your recycling bin as a clearing-house, and repurpose items to add embellishments. Comics from newspapers or brightly colored pages from magazines can be curled and glued on paper crafts for extra glitzy flair! Bust out a shaker of glitter or some rubber stamps, and you're all set for some DIY paper fun.
Paper Banner: Let your child come up with a theme all on their own. Maybe they'd like to make a Fall banner, one that celebrates their sister's birthday, or a wall hanging that sings the praises of Thomas the Tank. Gather construction paper and ribbon, twine, or yarn. Plot how many pieces of paper you will need (one per letter). Cut each piece of paper in half vertically and then cut the bottom edge into a V-shape. Your child can then decorate each letter as they wish--use buttons for a fun 3-D effect, scatter sequins and glue feathers, or keep it simple by cutting out contrasting colors to spell out the words. Using patterned scrapbooking paper is a cool way to achieve a funky, patchwork look for the banner. To attach each piece to the ribbon, just fold the top two inches over (form a flap) and let dry completely. Sure to be a holiday or seasonal decoration your family will pack away carefully and bring out each year to enjoy again and again!
Fan: Remember the paper fans you used to make in grade school (along with the infamous cootie catcher)? You can adapt this project to make a fun wall decoration that offers a larger work area for small hands. Use old bits of wrapping paper or scraps from wallpaper books and fold accordion style to craft fabulous fans. You can use big sheets that are already covered in finger paint, or artwork that has come home from preschool. Another idea is to use chalk to draw bright designs on large sheets of construction paper or even tissue paper for a delicate fan.
Mask: You can be as simple or as complicated as you want to get when making masks with young children. If the kids are going berserk and want to buy yourself 15 minutes to prep dinner, print out some storybook character masks to be colored in. If you have more time to devote to the task, gather paper plates, paper bags, a hole punch, and some string. Note: you can even use a scarf or a thin adult sock in a pinch to fasten the mask! Poster board is a sturdy surface for masks so you may want to keep a stash on hand for impromptu mask sessions. Your children will have their own game plan for just who they want to create. Maybe they'd like to make a whole zoo-full of animals, seven dwarfs, or the members of their family? When the masks aren't in use, they can be hung up on your child's wall. Smaller children may need assistance with eye and nose holes.
Fishbowl, complete with creatures: Big sheet of blue paper? Check. Paint, markers, and glue? Check. You're all set to help your child create a fun underwater scene that can be added to each day. Your child can draw creatures of the deep and then glue or tape them to their ocean. Crumple tissue paper to make three dimensional seaweed or jellyfish. Add sequins to sea urchins, fold paper accordion style to make eyes pop out, or pipe cleaners to form a forest of sea grasses. If you hang their ocean creation in a central place, children will have fun adding new sea life each day. When they tire of a current theme, brainstorm a new environment for them to populate: outer space, ancient Egypt, or their own city!
Other ways to get creative with paper include: paper lanterns, making mobiles (with paper cranes, photos of favorite things, relatives, animals, found objects) making a treasure map/map of your neighborhood, or simple board games (use tape or velcro for game play while board is displayed on the wall). Use your child's interests and favorite things to guide their paper pièces de résistance. The good thing about art that is displayed is that it can be easily stowed, cherished and reintroduced. Pull out some paper and see where your child's mind will take them!

30Rnd. AK SD
By Tmx on 2013/06/23 at 2:22am
Well the damage between normal and SD mags seems the same but SD mag bullets have different ballistics when using a normal AK. The bullet goes higher so if you want to make a headshot you need to aim around the chest.
By Kuchendieb on 2013/04/25 at 3:30pm
AK SD deals more dmg than normal AK-ammo? I think that doesn't make any sense^^

text: Classic eggs Benedict has been given a gourmet twist with the addition of luxurious lobster. This delicious Christmas brunch recipe pairs meaty lobster with creamy, velvety hollandaise sauce and a perfectly poached egg. Prepare the lobsters: to remove the meat from each lobster, first remove the netting and twist the claws from the body to remove them. Break the arm from each claw and crack open the claws to extract the meat in large pieces, or even whole, if you can. Crack open the shell of the arm to extract the arm and the knuckle meat. Twist the tail to remove it from the body. Push the tail meat out from the base (you may need to twist the very end of the tail off first) in one piece. Slice in half, lengthways. Pull the pale, spongy gills and stomach sac away from the body. Pick out the remaining meat, picking out the thin, shell-like membranes as you do so. Discard the empty body, gills, stomach sac and other pieces of empty shell. To make the hollandaise sauce, melt the butter in a small pan, skimming off any white solids that sit on the surface. Keep the pan warm. Meanwhile, half-fill a medium pan with water and bring up to the boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer. Put the egg yolks, 1/2 tsp white wine vinegar, a pinch of salt and 1 tbsp iced water in a heatproof bowl. Whisk the mixture with an electric whisk for a few minutes, until lighter in colour. Set the bowl over the simmering water and continue to whisk for 4-5 minutes, until the mixture is very thick and pale. Remove the bowl from the heat and very, very slowly add the butter in a thin trickle while you continue to whisk. Once the butter is incorporated, the sauce should be thick and creamy. Season with lemon juice to taste and whisk in a little water to let it down if the texture is too thick to spoon easily. Cover and keep warm. To poach the eggs, break each one into a small cup. Bring a wide saucepan of water to the boil, reduce the heat to low and add the vinegar. Slide in the eggs, tipping them gently out of their cups, and poach gently for 2-3 minutes*. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper. To serve, lightly toast the 4 muffin halves, top each with a quarter of the dressed lobster and a poached egg. Spoon the hollandaise over the top and finish with chopped chives and a tiny pinch of cayenne pepper. See more Christmas starters *If serving vulnerable groups – babies, toddlers, pregnant women, the elderly or people who are unwell – cook the eggs until the whites and yolks are solid. As part of a healthy balanced diet, we recommend this recipe for a special occasion or treat.

Niemi to start in goal for Blackhawks against Oilers
The Blackhawks took the United Center ice for their morning skate in preparation for tonight's game against the Edmonton Oilers.
The anticipated matchup between Cristobal Huet and Nikolai Khabibulin at goaltender won't happen as Antti Niemi will start in goal for the Hawks. The Oilers will go with Khabibulin.
"It gives (Niemi) a home start," coach Joel Quenneville said. "He hasn't played here at home to start a game. We have back-to-back back games and when we looked at the planning of who was going to play we'd say we'd evaulate after the last game who would get today's game."
I then asked Quenneville if he still had a clearcut No. 1 goalie and if he was concerned about Huet's confidence.
"Huet's the guy," Quenneville said. "He's going to play here most of the games through early on in the year. We're comfortable with the goaltending situation.
"(Huet) seems to be pretty comfortable with his game," Quenneville added. "He can play a little better. Other than that I think he's trying to work on his game in practice. He'll fight through it."
Huet said he understood the decision to start Niemi. The veteran is expected to be in goal Thursday night when the Hawks take on the Predators in Nashville.
"I think it's understandable," Huet said. "I had a tough game (Monday night) and it gives Antti a chance."
The veteran was yanked from his last start after yielding three goals on the Calgary Flames' first five shots in a game the Hawks eventually rallied for a 6-5 overtime win.
"I need to stay positive and work hard and come next game turn that thing around," Huet said. "That's where I'm at. Just try to stay postiive. I know I can do it. I've done it long enoguh to know that it's not one or two games that are going to stop me from being there."
Other than Niemi starting in goal, Quenneville said there will be no changes in the lineup.

A travel-search engine Sprice.com now launched its operations in India. Sprice actually brings different sources of your hotel and or flight booking sites into one resource. Instead of you checking 6 to 8 sources of information before buying your tickets, Sprice brings that to you in a nicer way.
I was really impressed by searching for a flight from Ahmedabad to Mumbai. The search was quick and gave me really nice visual display of competitive prices from different airlines. Sprice is also planning to launch mobile application as well as social networking plugins to search for the best travel deal.

An old lady fell in the bathroom at her nursing home. She hit her head and suffered a minor laceration.
It wasn't even bleeding when we got to her.
There wasn't any bleeding from her head, and no blood to be found on the floor of the bathroom.
A band-aid probably would have been too much.
But she had to go to the hospital to "get checked out."
She cried when we picked her up out of the bed to put her on the stretcher.
She cried the entire 30-minute ride to the hospital.
She cried for the duration of her 5-hour hospital stay. She didn't even get a band-aid.
She cried for another half hour when the other ambulance took her back.
She stopped crying when they put her back in her bed and covered her up with her special blanket.
Only to fall again a day later.
