Roughly 40 years ago, as a kid growing up in Adelaide, Friday night was fish and chips night. Always from the same fish and chippery on Unley Road. And Dad would get 'two suitably chilled Southwark Bitter' from the Cremorne Hotel on the way home with the fish and chips.
Now, 40 years later, I'm getting fish and chips on a Friday night from the same shop. I've just got off the train from Melbourne, unloaded my Xtracycle from the luggage van, and ridden over to Unley Road. Phone orders were taken from my elder siblings who have returned to the family home to look after my 94 year old Dad, who is seriously crook with cancer.
This time, there's no Southwark Bitter for Dad, and no fish and chips either. All his nutrition is taken in prescribed liquid form, straight into his stomach, via a parental feeding tube.
The fish and chips kinda tasted all right, but it wasn't the same really.
Such is life.

To What Extent Was Rome Responsible for the Punic Wars?
This exhausting conflict was, according to Caven, a 'contest in three rounds' in which the Romans fought first for control of Sicily, then for the leadership of the western Mediterranean and finally to determine the survival or extinction of Carthage.
By 270 Rome had conquered Italy and organised it into a confederation of Roman citizens and Latin and Italian allies. Polybius says that the Romans 'Once having made themselves masters of Italy applied themselves to the conquest of countries further afield' . This combined with the fact that the most populated parts of Italy were along the western side where the Dominant power was Carthage made it inevitable that Rome's first contact in the Mediterranean would be with Carthage.
The first of these three wars stemmed from a minor incident involving the town of Messana on the northeast tip of Sicily and the powerful city of Syracuse in the southeast of the island. The rest of the island was under Carthaginian influence. Although Syracuse and Carthage were on reasonably good terms at this stage the Carthaginians did not want to see Messana fall into Syracusian hands. This prompted the mamertines to be pushed out of Messana and become concerned that the Carthaginians might occupy Messana permanently. And so it was decided to seek an alliance with Rome which seemed 'To offer better long term security than Carthage'
Although the relationship between Carthage and Rome at this point was cordial they decided to ally themselves with the Mamertines making themselves solely responsible for joining into a wider conflict with the Carthaginians. The acceptance of the mamertines into the Roman alliance forced the Syracusans and Carthaginians to co-operate in order to prevent Messana...

Jodie Whittaker, who was recently announced as the actress taking over from Peter Capaldi as the Doctor, revealed that she did not see any of the reactions online because she is not on social media.
In her first broadcast interview since the announcement, she told BBC Radio 6:
"This will be a blessing and a curse. I've missed a lot of the fun stuff and probably the bad stuff because I'm not on any type of social media and never have been. So if I get something it's a mate screen grabbing something and sending it to me. They obviously edit... actually, sometimes they don't!"
Whittaker also revealed that she has spoken to some of the other actors who have played the role, who gave her some advice about the role and the experience:
"The overwhelming sense was this is such an exciting journey. It's to be enjoyed. There's no advice you can do - no person plays this part the same. What a freeing thing it is."
Of course, there was also the subject of the Doctor being female, but she reassured fans:
You can see the full interview here:
"We can celebrate differences. I hope my gender isn't a fearful thing. In this (Doctor Who) world, there aren't rules."Whittaker also watched a video showing fans who were already cosplaying her Doctor based on the brief glimpse in the announcement video clip and she was clearly impressed.

Also see: Welland Is Home – A post that features Scott Armstrong's "What Welland Means To Me."
Knowing his own community and being able to express it in film has paid off for Scott Armstrong.
The lifelong Wellander is the winner of $500 cash and a $1,000 Niagara College scholarship for his film titled What Welland Means To Me.
As part of the city's 150th anniversary celebrations, the anniversary planning committee, in partnership with Niagara College broadcasting program, 91.7 Giant FM and The Tribune, in May launched a contest for aspiring young filmmakers.
Titled Through the Lens of Welland, the contest was open to all residents of Welland, as well as 2007-08 registered Niagara College or secondary school exchange students, 16 years of age or older.
Candidates were asked to submit a five-minute dramatic-or documentary-style film in DVD format based on the theme What Welland Means To Me.
Armstrong is a student in the broadcasting program at Niagara College. He found out about the contest through his film teacher, Andrew Stevenson.
"When I saw the details of the contest, I knew right away that I was going for it," said Armstrong. "Having lived in Welland my whole life, I felt I could come up with some original ideas."

The Pensacola Bay Area chapter of the League of Women Voters (LWV) held a "consensus meeting" on February 18, 2017 at the Tryon Library in Pensacola to build consensus on several aspects of Florida's current primary electoral system. The meeting was part of a larger coordinated effort with about twenty other local Florida LWV branches who would go through a similar deliberative process, and later convene at the annual LWV meeting in May to establish a shared set of reform objectives to be advanced in the months ahead.
The meeting, moderated by LWV member Ray Hudkins (referred to as "Ray" below), began at about 10:45 AM. Several deliberative rules were emphasized in Ray's power-point slides: "Be collegial", "Don't interrupt", "No filibustering", and "Have fun." Ray also shared a quote from former U.S. Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan: "You are entitled to your opinion, but you are not entitled to your own facts." To encourage participation, it was also stressed that silence would be interpreted as tacit agreement with the group. What follows are some notes from the group's deliberation over the nine statements/topics.
1. The Florida primary system hinders voter turnout
Florida uses a closed primary system, meaning that only voters registered with a particular party can participate in selecting the general election candidate for that party. Ray presented a graph showing that Florida voter turnout was comparatively low among other states in the U.S. (17.6% in 2014) and stated that one reason for the meeting was to advance ideas to increase voter participation in the state.
One of the meeting participants asked what some of the arguments against an open primary system are, to which Ray responded that it could weaken the parties. Ray also cited a recently conducted survey carried out by the Haas Center at the University of West Florida which found that about 70% of millennials in Pensacola would prefer an open primary in Florida. A poll worker at the meeting also noted that many independent voters were angry that they could not participate in the primaries. In the end, the group agreed with the statement.
2. Independents and minor party voters should have an opportunity to vote in the primary
At this point, several questions were asked about minor parties in the state. Among other things, Ray pointed out that independent voters (i.e., those who declare "No Party Affiliation") should not be confused with voters from the Independence Party or the Independent Party. Without much need for discussion, the group agreed on this point.
3. Electoral system for the Florida (legislative) primaries
This part of the meeting was dedicated to, first, establishing some facts about four potential electoral systems for the Florida (legislative) primaries:
- Closed system (the status quo)
- Open primary
- Top-Two system (e.g., used in California)
- Instant Runoff Voting (IRV)
The second aim was to build a consensus in the group on which one they would prefer. The criteria used to evaluate the systems was: simplicity, ability to verify the results, competitiveness, minimizing potential for manipulation, demographic representativeness, technical feasibility, and majoritarianism (vs. simply plurality). With regards to the group preference, it was "basically a toss up" between IRV and the Top-Two system, according to Ray. However, but leaning towards the Top-Two system. (Despite the lack of a clear group preference on this item, votes were not recorded at the meeting). The open primary system came in a distant third place followed by the status quo closed primary system with just one supporter.
4. Electoral system for the Florida (presidential) primaries
Deliberation on no. 4 was similar to that on no. 3 (e.g., the same electoral system choices were considered). However, at this point the group focused on the presidential rather than the legislative primary. Thus, the Top-Two system was excluded because it does not narrow it down to a single candidate. The group ended up agreeing on an open primary for presidential elections.
5. Closing the write-in candidate loophole
Although Florida has a closed primary system, the voters passed a constitutional amendment in 1998 which opens up specific primary contests to all voters if only one party was selecting a candidate for that position. However, a loophole allows write-in candidates to re-close such primaries by simply getting on the ballot. Currently, there are very low barriers to entry (write-ins do not have to pay a fee, there is no signature requirement, and there is no drop-out penalty). The LWV proposal, as Ray put it, was to "get some skin in the game", for example, by introducing a filing fee for write-ins.
Banning write-ins altogether might be too drastic, according to Ray, as this would prohibit serious write-in candidates from entering the race. Ray cited the example of Lisa Murkowski, a U.S. Senator from Alaska, who became the second ever U.S. Senator to win via write-in in U.S. history in 2010 (Strom Thurmond was the first in 1954). Ultimately, the group agreed with the idea of closing the write-in loophole.
6a. Automatic registration of eligible voters
There was one participant who disagreed with this proposal on the grounds that having to voluntarily register is a good indication that someone is interested enough in public affairs to make informed choices on the ballot. However, this individual's statement provoked strongly worded rebuttals from at least two of the group's participants. The group ultimately endorsed the idea of automatic registration.
6b. Exclusive Vote-By-Mail
One of the benefits of exclusive vote-by-mail (VBM) noted by Ray was that in states such as Oregon where VBM is used there has been an increase in voter turnout. However, one individual stated that she didn't trust the U.S. Postal Service and said that voters such as herself should therefore be allowed to vote in-person. Another participant opposed the idea on the grounds that voting in-person was important for civic reasons. VBM was ultimately rejected by the group.
6c. Election Voting Centers
With regards to Election Voting Centers (EVC), used in Colorado for example, Ray pointed out that these are already used for primary elections, and bullet-pointed a few anticipated benefits such as convenience, cost reduction, and increased voter turnout. One individual feared that it would be more costly for some individuals to reach a voting center (since these would be fewer and farer between than precinct voting locations). Another individual expressed concern that the choice of EVC location could be biased against certain groups of voters. Despite these admonitions, the group was ultimately okay with the idea of the EVC.
6d. Election Day Registration
This LWV proposal was to reduce the time voter registration books close from 29 days before the election to 0 days. One participant (who also voiced concern about automatic registration) expressed concern that Election Day Registration (EDR) would give rise to haphazard voting and possibly voter fraud, again provoking rebuttals from the group. In response, Ray stated that the LWV aims to "open up all avenues [for voting] that are legitimate" Ultimately, the idea of EDR generated supermajority support within the group.
What's next?
By the end of the meeting at about 12:40 PM (two hours total), the Pensacola Bay Area chapter of the LWV had endorsed the following proposals:
- Top-Two system for legislative primaries
- Open primaries for presidential elections
- Closing the write-in candidate loophole
- Automatic Voter Registration
- Election Voting Centers
- Election Day Registration
About twenty other local Florida LWV branches have already or will be going through a similar deliberative process before representatives from the various branches convene at the League's annual meeting in May at which point local branch representatives will draft a set of reform objectives regarding Florida's primary system. Afterwards, these objectives will be advanced either through the Florida legislature, direct ballot initiative, or via some other channel.

As a traveller and digital nomad, nothing is more important to you than your digital data — learn to back it up efficiently with the 3-2-1 backup strategy.
According to a survey from BACKBLAZE1, 54 percent of its customers have come to the backup solution company because they personally have lost their data or know someone how did. As a digital nomad and traveller, you cannot afford to lose data. Imagine losing hundreds of pictures you took while climbing a mountain or the last article you spent five hours writing and refining.
Sounds like a nightmare?
In that case, back up your data with the 3-2-1 backup strategy.
The risks of not backing up your data
Losing the last article you've written or a few pictures are nerf-wrecking, no question. But the risks can be even bigger when you do work for clients. Imagine losing your work a day before the deadline? Trust us, it has happened to us. Back then, we were still using Windows laptops and one of it crashed erasing all articles Deian had written that day — he spent the night rewriting them.
The best case scenario is that you, like Deian, spend a night catching up on your work. But what if you can't do it because the time-frame is too short? You miss a deadline, annoy a customer and worst case, lose him altogether.
One of the most famous examples of nearly losing important work is the studio Pixar. After Toy Story 2 had been completed, a wrongly executed command nearly deleted all the work. Luckily, someone was clever enough to back up the movie to a home computer.
The 3-2-1 backup strategy
We are sure that you are in no way interested in losing any data, be it an article, picture or work for a client. And you don't have to if you use the 3-2-1 backup strategy.
What is it exactly? Basically, you have to have three copies of your data at all times.
- 3 copies of data
- 2 on different mediums
- 1 copy offsite
For argument's sake, let's say you just climbed a mountain and walked along an incredible but dangerous path. You shot pictures, filmed a few videos and archived all of them into a folder called amazinadventure.zip. You now want to make sure that you don't lose them because you are going to upload the images to your blog and social media accounts.
The first copy obviously sits on your device, a laptop most probably. Now you need to make two more copies to keep them safe:
- Back up amazinadventure.zip to an external hard drive.
- Back up amazinadventure.zip to an online cloud service.
Back up to external hard drive
The first backup is simple; you probably already have an external hard drive. Make sure it's a really reliable one because hard drives can fail and erase your data in the process. We use SSDs from Angelbird (SSD2go PKT) that are extremely durable and can even be used in the most extreme conditions.
We chose the external drive from Angelbird because it has two cables:
- USB-A to USB-C
- USB-C to USB-C
The drive itself has a USB-C connector which works great on Deian's Late 2016 MacBook Pro; Alina still uses an older MacBook Air from 2012 and needs the USB-A to USB-C cable.
|USB 3.1 Gen2 SSD drive
|70.0 × 45.5 × 9.5 mm (2.76 × 1.79 x 0.37 inch)
|~50.0 g (~1.8 oz)
|Sustained read/write
|Up to 560 MB/s; up to 460 MB/s
Of course, the durability of the drives, their small form factor and the weight were also important. You can get cheaper drives but the ones from Angelbird are made to withstand harsh conditions — and that is important if you travel around the world.
Back up to cloud storage
Backing up to a cloud storage is a bit trickier. People have been using popular solutions like DropBox, the market leader according to CloudRail2, for many years. There is a problem though: Many of the leading cloud providers do not encrypt your data.
How is that important?
If you handle sensitive information for clients, you do not want it to end up in the wrong hands.
You can never rule out the possibility that the cloud provider gets hacked and your data is stolen. The big three cloud solutions (DropBox, Google Drive and One Drive) are not encrypted. You could, however, encrypt your data with apps like Boxcryptor or Cryptomator but you will never know how long those work; an update or change from DropBox et al and the app might not work anymore.
The solution is to use cloud backup solutions that are already encrypted. We are using HORNETDRIVE, a German provider. This encrypted cloud storage provider doesn't have a free plan but you can get a one month trial. After that, you have to buy a license key for one year.
Extending the 3-2-1 backup strategy
If you are a bit paranoid — nobody judges you, we are, too — you can extend the above guide. Besides backing up important data to an external hard drive, get another bigger one.
The big hard drive doesn't have to use flash storage so you can use good old spinning hard drives. Use it weekly to do a full backup of your work laptop. In case anything happens to your laptop, you can just restore your backup and start working again.
Full backups can also be uploaded online but it would take some time to download a backup that is hundreds, maybe thousands of megabytes big. Security is also a concern: Your data should be uploaded to an encrypted cloud storage.
Using Time Machine on a Mac
Mac users have a little feature called Time Machine on their systems that can be integrated into the 3-2-1 backup strategy or extend it.
The app can save all your files or specific folders automatically to an external hard drive. You have to activate Time Machine in your system settings and pick a hard drive to save the data to.
Once activated, Time Machine will do backups hourly. However, after the first time backing up, it will only back up modified data, therefore saving a lot of bandwidth and time.
Some apps, like iA Writer we use to write our articles, use a macOS feature: versions. As you work on an article, a new version is being created regularly; you can restore an older version if you have to. This comes in handy when you accidentally overwrite a file and want to restore it.

The actual lauded Rolex Submariner is among the most widely used luxurious wrist watches on the planet. Very easily typically the most popular steel-cased luxurious scuba diving view, the actual Rolex Submariner models the actual club in lots of ways with regards to Replica Rolex UK associated with it's kind, from it's price provided the long-term overview of the actual Rolex Submariner Absolutely no Day view right here, as well as in comparison the actual Rolex Submariner in order to it's "cousin" view the actual Tudor History Dark These types of right here. With that in mind, the actual Rolex Submariner is not for everybody, and lots of individuals who curently have the Rolex Submariner nevertheless such as the style associated with high-end metal sports activities scuba diving wrist watches and therefore are thinking about additional wrist watches enjoy it.
Allow me to very first state which Rolex like a manufacturer, and also the Rolex Submariner like a design, tend to be one of the most replicated points available. Not just can there be a huge underworld associated with phony (that all of us greatly suggest towards) Rolex wrist watches, there are numerous "lookalike" wrist watches available that basically look for in order to copy the actual feel and look of the Rolex Submariner with regard to the advantage of an additional manufacturer. Individuals are not the actual kinds of wrist watches I'm going to be referring to with this checklist. Oh yea, as well as I would additionally prefer to state which all the wrist watches one of them top ten checklist are now being presently created during the time of this particular article's composing — however you'll be able to discover other things available that's no more within manufacturing.
In order to kick-off the feasible brand new post sequence, Let me checklist my own top ten options towards the Rolex Submariner which remain inside the style, high quality, as well as general luxurious prices from the Rolex Submariner. Additional, Let me concentrate on plunge Rolex Replica UK which reveal several considerations in keeping using the Rolex Submariner. Those activities, for the reasons, tend to be 1) obtainable metal or even titanium situation building along with coordinating band, two) high-quality mechanised motion, 3) time-only show (day optionally available), four) mainly (or even completely) monochromatic style along with darkish coloured call, as well as 5) the sporty style that may be feasibly end up being decked out for any much more stylish or even official appear.
Absolutely nothing may completely substitute the actual Rolex Submariner, as well as in lots of ways the actual Rolex Submariner is the greatest associated with it's type whenever mixing cost, functions, as well as high quality. Additionally, Rolex offers a number of its "alternatives" towards the Submariner that perhaps range from the Rolex GMT-Master II, Rolex Sea-Dweller four thousand, and also the Rolex Deepsea Sea-Dweller. I will not point out individuals beneath, however you need to know regarding these types of much more "deep-diving" wrist watches which Rolex creates that are officially Submariner options too (despite the fact that these people perhaps appear much the same).
Final, I'd like to say several fundamental technology specifications from the Rolex Submariner to bear in mind. The actual view is actually 40mm broad within 904L metal, water-resistant in order to three hundred yards, and it has an excellent coordinating band which has a useful micro-adjust program for any much more exact match that may be modified about the travel. Rolex utilizes their very own in-house-made motion that guarantee perhaps class-leading overall performance, and also the Rolex Submariner's bezel is actually created from ceramic.
Blancpain Fifty Fathoms
Talents: 45mm broad with a good in-house motion, the actual Blancpain 50 Fathoms Automatique 5015 selection comes with an obtainable metal design having a coordinating band as well as dark call that's thematically within the exact same class in the Rolex Submariner. It's costly, however it's also well-made as well as stunning.
Exactly how this even comes close: Having a history like the Rolex Submariner when it comes to source as well as objective, the actual Blancpain 50 Fathoms presently is available a little greater about the cost step ladder compared to Rolex Submariner, though it perhaps is not a "better" view. The actual 50 Fathoms comes with a stylish bent sapphire very within the bezel (as opposed to ceramic), as well as that you simply choose is really a issue associated with flavor. Blancpain's includes a various appear which a few state is actually a little more about the stylish as opposed to "tool watch" aspect. The actual Blancpain can also be the greater unique option having a greater cost high quality as well as much less of these available.
Tudor Heritage Black Bay
Talents: Tudor is actually possessed through the exact same individuals because Rolex (they're cautious to express they're not really possessed through Rolex), therefore there's a large amount of style as well as building carry-over through "the crown" manufacturer. Beginning within 2016, the actual Tudor History Dark These types of also offers a good in-house motion and also a number of fascinating style refinements. It's very easily among the best ideals close to when you compare style, building, as well as technicians.
Exactly how this even comes close: The actual Tudor Dark These types of is actually somewhat bigger than the actual 40mm Rolex Submariner having a 41mm-wide metal situation, which is a little heavier too. Probably the greatest "down-side" is actually it's light weight aluminum bezel place materials as opposed to the actual Rolex Submariner's stronger ceramic — if you perform have more fascinating colour choices within the History Dark These types of, for example wine red red-colored. Strong call style had been in the past influenced through the Rolex Submariner, therefore the variations are just minor, although apparent.
Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean
Talents: Omega offers invested years refining as well as honing it's Seamaster selection… that has really led to a lot of range. Towards the top of the actual step ladder with regards to extravagant plunge wrist watches may be the Omega Seamaster Earth Sea, that brings together the actual benefit of a significant scuba diving device having a good-looking way of life item. Our planet Sea is simply sober sufficient not to appear flashy, however it definitely comes with an amazing arm existence and lots of really appealing actions these days.
Exactly how this even comes close: Evaluating the actual Omega Earth Sea towards the Rolex Submariner truly depends upon the actual design because Omega can make not just various dimensions, however various variations — which is applicable actually in order to simply the actual three-hand automated versions (the actual picture over exhibits our planet Sea Grasp Chronometer). There isn't any ideal 40mm-wide analog, however you will find Omega Seamaster Earth Sea versions like the Rolex Submariner when it comes to functions as well as dimension. Whilst Rolex nevertheless perhaps is victorious with regards to match as well as completing, Omega is actually obviously chasing after Rolex with regards to motion overall performance, call as well as situation building, in addition to general recognition. It is definitely really worth a detailed appear.
Bulgari Diagono Scuba
Talents: The most recent era Bulgari Diagono Scuba diving is the greatest Diagono diver view designed to day, providing a fascinating Italian-theme in order to the thought of the Rolex Submariner option. Constructed about the Diagono group of wrist watches, the thing is special style components like the hinge-style lugs, band, as well as call style, that this is actually the clearest we have actually observed this on the Diagono Scuba diving. Additionally, it occurs to combine sportiness along with style perfectly, similar to the Rolex Submariner.
Exactly how this Even comes close: The actual 41mm-wide Diagono Scuba diving is actually comparable thickness since the Rolex Submariner, plus they possess comparable width information too. About the arm, these people possess a various really feel, despite the fact that these people make an effort to function exactly the same reasons. Each tend to be 300-meter-water-resistant scuba divers as well as include in-house actions. The actual Bulgari Diagono Scuba diving does not have the ceramic bezel (this utilizes a good just about all metal style) however is definitely an excellent as well as lower-priced Rolex Submariner option having a more contemporary, custom distort into it.
IWC Aquatimer
Talents: Every era associated with IWC Aquatimer offers its character, however presently there usually appears to be a minumum of one metal design on the band having a monochromatic call that's most likely a great analog towards the Rolex Submariner. IWC offers lots of good functions too, like a quick-change program for that band, in addition to a nice ratcheting, revolving plunge bezel program upon a few versions. IWC applies to the somewhat more contemporary appear, that will attract individuals looking for the high-end view encounter with no characteristics that include the Rolex.
Exactly how this even comes close: To some big level, three-hand Aquatimer wrist watches tend to be entry-level with regard to IWC, therefore anticipate costs to become less than Submariner. Nevertheless, these types of wrist watches don't make use of in-house actions (whilst Rolex will, obviously). Additionally, the actual type of Aquatimer wrist watches is not because classic, or even common, since the Rolex Submariner. The actual Aquatimer also offers an instance that's a little bit bigger, too.
Grand Seiko Spring Drive Diver
Talents: Seiko does not have the actual title cache because Rolex, however it includes a heritage associated with activity as well as sturdiness in contrast to other manufacturers. Seiko wrist watches tend to be much loved all over the world for his or her sturdiness, style, as well as worth even though they do not possess the arm existence of the luxurious Switzerland watch. The actual highest-end Seiko wrist watches tend to be Great Seiko, and something of the simplest as well as appealing plunge wrist watches may be the Springtime Generate SBGA209. Instead of make use of a conventional mechanised motion, this particular watch utilizes Seiko's personal Springtime Generate, that is mechanised motion having a quartz regulator. Basically, you receive the actual appeal of the mechanised motion using the overall performance associated with quartz.
Exactly how this Even comes close: It is the situation which Japoneses style vocabulary is not because processed because which from the Europeans, however the Great Seiko Springtime Generate Diver is really as near to timelessness as possible enter a Rolex Replica Sale of the ilk. Created as you associated with Seiko's much more high-end versions, with their own renowned focus on call fine detail, you receive ample view your money can buy, even though individuals do not easily discover this like a high-end product.
Sinn U1
Talents: Sinn, referred to as the producer associated with severe German born activity wrist watches, happened on to some manufacturer character using the U1 selection. These types of 44mm-wide, 1000-meter plunge wrist watches are made to endure something (as well as perhaps much more) the Rolex Submariner may endure, conserve with regard to boasting privileges in a interpersonal collecting. The actual blocky hr guns as well as fingers develop you rapidly, as the pure power from the U1 is nearly renowned at this time.
Exactly how this Even comes close: As the Rolex Submariner never already been the flashy view by itself, the actual U1 includes a somewhat much more commercial appear provided it's sand-blasted however ultra-hard German born sub metal building which most likely provides Rolex's 904L metal (additionally fairly long lasting) much more competitors compared to your own typical 316L metal view. Sinn does not make use of a good in-house motion, and also the appear is actually a little more avant-garde compared to Rolex Submariner. The actual red-colored highlights additionally help to make the actual U1 perhaps under well suited for official events. Cost is actually correct, although.
Oris ProDiver Date
Strengths: If you want an Oris watch that more closely resembles a Rolex Submariner, then the Oris Sixty Five 42 is a solid option. In terms of quality and materials comparisons, I am going to suggest the Oris ProDiver Date. This not only offers a more signature look for the Swiss brand, but also the durability (and boldness) of a 49mm-wide titanium case with 1000 meters of water resistance, safety locking ceramic bezel, and an automatic helium release valve.
Exactly how this Even comes close: Such as many more about this checklist, the actual Oris title is not likely to defeat Rolex. The actual manufacturer by itself loves to state these people help to make "real wrist watches with regard to actual individuals. inch Heading together with which, the actual ProDiver Day is intended to become a actual plunge watch out for actual individuals who proceed scuba diving. With that in mind, this functions superbly like a daily-wear presuming you prefer the actual big dimension. It does not come with an in-house motion possibly, however your money can buy, this really is enough view.
Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Diver
Talents: The actual 42mm-wide metal edition from the Regal Walnut Just offshore Diver would wear really properly as well as will seriously a good optionally available coordinating band (my personal option). Audemars Piguet consists of it's usually higher level associated with match as well as completing about this luxurious watch, that additionally advantages of becoming very unique provided reduced manufacturing compared to Rolex Submariner. General, it's a good-looking as well as practical (through luxurious view requirements) device view that provides the actual Rolex Submariner the operate because of its clout.
Exactly how this Even comes close: Such as the Rolex Submariner, the actual Audemars Piguet Regal Walnut Just offshore Diver is actually each something along with a luxurious standing product. This particular view occurs in order to influence the truly amazing background associated with Regal Walnut wrist watches within real plunge view type — which means you receive the actual special octagonal situation form of the actual Regal Walnut along with the "mega tapisserie" call consistency. Audemars Piguet additionally utilizes in-house actions, although it's more costly compared to Rolex, the actual Submariner's motion is actually perhaps a much better artist. Status-wise the actual Regal Walnut Just offshore Diver is actually a little more high-end, though it is not because "sensible" a selection since the Rolex.
Breitling Superocean Heritage
Talents: Breitling creates a lot of plunge wrist watches underneath the Superocean title, however for me, probably the most visually stylish is actually until the actual Superocean History. Each this and also the Rolex Submariner tend to be basically depending on 1950s call styles, which is why these people each possess a good classic turn to all of them. Within 42mm- or even 46mm-wide variations, the actual Breitling Superocean History is really a bigger view, that is improved through the all-polished completing from the metal situation. Additionally, it includes a special appear when compared to Rolex Submariner provided the actual obtainable nylon uppers steel band.
Exactly how this Even comes close: A good getting older system, the actual Superocean History continues to be the good looking view, however is really a little bit at the rear of the days with no in-house motion or even more long lasting bezel materials. With that in mind, it's nevertheless fairly, and also the Breitling manufacturer is actually each recognized as well as much loved through numerous — which makes it no add up to Rolex within title attention, however much more recognized compared to other manufacturers about this checklist. It might be much more appealing having a cost reduce or even specification revise.

Pedreguer Sunday Rastro Flea Market Details- Video
A very popular Sunday market in the Javea area is the Pedreguer Rastro market held each Sunday from 9am until around 2pm. It is located on the Pol Ind Les Galgues, or Les Galgues Industrial Estate, Pedreguer. This is 20 minuets drive from the Arenal beach in Javea and is pretty easy to spot on the left from the N332 road. (Pedreguer is small, so it is easy to find the industrial estate.)
A rastro market is basically a flea market, a place where people sell mostly used items, from clothes to antiques. The rastro is very popular and each Sunday plays host to around 450 stalls and often thousands of visitors. The stalls line the streets of a large industrial estate and the wide roads make it easy to navigate through the market without the very cramped space found at other local rastro's.
The industrial estates roads are also the car park for the event and parking staff collect one Euro for each car, for the full days parking. The entrance to the actual market takes you past multiple stalls selling local fruit, veg, flowers, plants and preserved goods. I personally always leave this part of the shopping until the end of my visit, as it is also the exit from the market.
The fruit and vegetable offerings are usually of good quality and are often picked the day before the market. Most of the prices are very reasonable, often offering a much better deal than you would find at the supermarkets, especially if you want a 5kg bag of oranges or a giant cauliflower.
As you walk through the stalls it quickly becomes apparent that you can buy 'anything' at this market. There are stalls offering all manner of items both new and used. Clothing is available at very reasonable prices and are even available as used items for fifty cents or a couple of Euro's.
The selection really is vast with sellers offering used and new tools and gardening equipment, used electrical goods from car radio's to fridges. Pot's, pans and kitchen-ware seem to be popular items, as do used items of furniture from sofa's, to tables, to wardrobes. There is usually a selection of antique items available to browse through, as well as all kinds of ornaments.
This is a good place to come to buy a big box of assorted screws or Janet Jackson's last vinyl LP, basically just odd things that you perhaps would not go hunting around the shops for.
There ere are usually charities present including dog and animal rescue organisations.
There are also plenty of venders offering freshly made food from churitto's (donut-like pastries) to bocadillo's (very tasty sandwiches) to fried chicken and cakes as well as hot and cold drinks to suit all tastes.
It takes from an hour to several hours to stroll around the market depending just how much you want to linger and enjoy the pleasant Sunday morning atmosphere.

Until recently, Bollywood had always been all about its heroes. But then, once every few movies, we witness a character that easily over powers the lead in a film. They get labelled as the 'Supporting Cast' but their charm and on screen presence easily makes them everyone's favourites. Henchmen, Sidey's, and what not have they been called. But they are the first people that the hero turns to in case of emergency. They help screw up the baddies, they help their brother find his soulmate and lead the film to a happy ending. Here is a list of the top 7 sidekicks in Hindi films that we absolutely adore:
1. Circuit – The Munnabhai Series
Circuit is always on his feet for Munna. Whether it is Munna's studies or his demand for a dead body. His black kurta, gold chain and that knife have been etched in everyone's minds.
2. Sambha – Sholay
He is best remembered as the man who's job was to keep count as to Kitne Aadmi The. Mac Mohan in the film Sholay played the perfect right hand to the villain Gabbar Singh. Although we're sure that Thakur could have been very grateful if he got a hand or a two.
3. Nandu – Raja Babu
From providing him shade using an umbrella on a moving bike to making sure he is as comfortable as a Raja even at the cinema hall. From lighting his cigarette to feeding him fruit, Nandu loves Raja Babu like Gollum loves his ring.
4. Pappu Master- Om Shanti Om
He has only 2 aims in life , which he wholeheartedly works towards:
1. Making sure Om becomes a big superstar.
2. That Om and Shanti end up having a storybook romance.
With a few hop, skips, jumps and a reincarnation, both the things do end up becoming true. So once can say that he did play his part perfectly.
5. Ali – The Dhoom Series
Ali hits on Jai's wife, childhood friend and also his opponent all throughout The Dhoom films. But it is the same Ali who when it is time to strike, gets out his bike and makes sure Jai chases all the criminals in a jiffy.
6. Chunni Babu – Devdas
Apart from Chandramukhi and alcohol, Chunni Babu also introduced Devdas to alliteration.
7. Pappi – Tanu Weds Manu
Pappi Ji helps doctor sahab Manu from London set his foot in India and find his Tanu. He also makes sure Tanu Weds Manu and returns as well. Pappi deserves an honourable mention on our list.

Rupert Christiansen picks out five of the best Wagner tenors
- Ludwig Schnorr von Carolsfeld (1836-65) Hugely obese Bavarian tenor, much admired by Wagner, who sang Lohengrin and Tannhauser and created the role of Tristan, dying soon after the première at the age of 29.
- Lauritz Melchior (1890-1973) Danish tenor, active in the pre-war years. Not a great actor or a subtle musician, but his tireless throat, crystalline diction and warmth of personality made him a vocally unsurpassed Tristan and Siegfried. A terrific wag, he was notorious for making his sopranos laugh on stage.
- Wolfgang Windgassen (1914-74) Sterling German tenor, who made up in artistry what he lacked in volume. Memorably partnered Birgit Nilsson in the 1950s and '60s, notably in Tristan und Isolde at Bayreuth.
- Jon Vickers (b.1926) With his intense temperament and clarion voice, this Canadian tenor found a spiritual anguish in Tristan and Parsifal that made his interpretations quite unforgettable. Famously refused to sing Tannhauser on religious grounds.
- Ben Heppner (b.1956) Another deeply religious Canadian, whose beautiful lyrical tenor and musicality make him today's favourite Wagnerian tenor. Vocal difficulties in recent years have curtailed performances, but when he is on form, there is nobody today to match him.

Since 1923, the Chicago Golden Gloves has been one of Chicago's great sporting traditions. In the past 80 plus years, Golden Gloves has produced professional boxing champs including Ali (known then as Cassius Clay), Joe Louis and Sonny Liston. The boxing program has nurtured many Olympic boxers including LeeRoy Murphy ('80), Montel Griffin ('92), Donnell Nicholson ('92), Nate Jones ('96), David Diaz ('96), Michael Bennett ('00). And it has given a competitive edge to those who have gone on to careers in the arts (dancer Flately) and politics (Blagojevich, former Illinois Attorney General Jim Ryan and DuPage County States Attorney Joe Birkett.
Now a new group of boxers from 16 to 34 years old will be entering the ring in the 2010 Golden Gloves tournament www.ChicagoGoldenGloves.com beginning Thursday, March 11. The 12-night tournament runs on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights over four weeks in March and April. More than 350 boxers from Chicago, the suburbs and northwest Indiana will compete. Twelve to 24 bouts fare held nightly at 7:30 pm at St. Andrew's Gym, 1658 W. Addison, in Chicago's Wrigleyville neighborhood. Championship bouts are scheduled on April 8, 9 and 10.
Chicago Golden Gloves Charities believes that training in boxing instills a sense of self-respect and accomplishment in the youth of our community who, at this impressionable age, are choosing their path in life. Thousands of young men, and now some young women, have learned discipline, self-esteem and how to realize goals through daily training at various boxing clubs throughout the greater Chicago area.
Among this year's Golden Gloves competitors will be bantamweight Tiffany Perez of Hammond and heavyweight Robert Jekabson of Chicago. Both among the Golden Gloves elite, they hope to qualify for the Olympic Boxing team. Women boxers will be competing in the 2012 Olympics for the first time, Tiffany hopes to be one of those pioneers.
Tiffany, who's 20, is a college student and three-time Bantamweight Open Division Chicago Golden Gloves champion. She's won the tournament's "Best Overall Boxer" award as well as the overall "Tough Guy" award. Barely 5 feet tall and about 119 pounds, Tiffany was a finalist in the Miss Puerto Rico of Northwest Indiana pageant. She began boxing because her brother boxes and now is rated in the top 10 of her weight class by USA Boxing.
Robert, who is 22, works as a boxing instructor at the East Bank. He's a returning Heavyweight Open Division Champion, winning his title in 2008. Robert was born to be a champion. His mother was an Olympic rower for the USSR who missed the Games due to the Los Angeles boycott. His father was a member of the USSR boxing team who became a Lutheran priest. Both parents fled the repressive Soviet regime in what is now Latvia. The 6'2" heavyweight is also a top rated boxer by USA Boxing.
Revenue from Chicago's annual tournament is used to send the eleven Open Division champions on an all-expense-paid trip to compete in the National Golden Gloves Tournament held each May in different cities. Every four years, the winners of nationals earn berths in the US Olympic Trials. For many boxers, it's their first trip out of Chicago and one that they certainly couldn't afford to attend without complete financial assistance.
Chicago Golden Gloves Charities provides college scholarships to worthy boxers and donates equipment to local gyms and the Chicago Park District. Boxers have been awarded all-expense-paid trips for team competitions in Ireland, England and other international locales.
Ticket prices range from $10 to $50. For schedules and tickets, visit www.ChicagoGoldenGloves.com. Tickets are available at the door beginning at 6 pm on event nights. Championship events regularly sell out so advance ticket purchase is recommended.
This year, Tiffany, Robert and other boxers are tweeting their way through training and the tournament. Follow them here: http://Twitter.com/312GoldenGloves In addition, the tournament organizers will be giving away tickets, announcing Tweet Ups and tweeting news links via http://Twitter.com/312GoldenGloves

- The 2010 tournament runs every Thursday, Friday and Saturday in March beginning March 11th. Championship bouts are Thursday, Friday and Saturday, April 8, 9 and 10.
- At least a dozen bouts (and sometimes as many as 24 bouts per night) are contested nightly beginning at 7:30 pm at St. Andrews, 1658 W. Addison in Chicago.
- During 2008 and 2009, 350+ boxers competed, both male and female, between the ages of 16-34. There are usually 20-30 female entries.
- 2009 attendance was up 25%. During 2009, nearly 15,000 fans attended the tournament. The three nights of championship bouts regularly sell out with standing room only availability.
- Both the mayor of Chicago and the governor of Illinois contribute annual proclamations which are printed in the Championship program.
- With adult admission just $10 for preliminary event evenings and $15 for quarter and semi-final competitions, the Golden Gloves is an affordable sporting event.
- Because of its great sporting tradition, the tourney was profiled over 4 pages in Sports Illustrated magazine on April 5, 2004. Included were a fascinating history of the tourney and a photo of boxing legend Joe Louis in his Chicago Golden Gloves Championship uniform.
- For the first time, four working members of the Chicagoland media agreed to train for the 2009 tourney. They began to document their first-hand training experiences in print, on-line and in blogs. This is resulted in positive press coverage and amusing, insightful first person reporting. However, none of them actually competed. Training proved to be too rigorous.

FRANKFURT (Reuters) - The European Central Bank denied media reports that it had rejected Spanish plans to recapitalize a Spanish bank using ECB funds, the ECB said on Wednesday, adding it is ready to advise on plans to inject capital into the country's banks.
"Contrary to media reports published today, the European Central Bank has not been consulted and has not expressed a position on plans by the Spanish authorities to recapitalize a major Spanish bank," the central bank said in a statement.
"The ECB stands ready to give advice on the development of such plans."
The Financial Times said on Wednesday the ECB opposed plans to recapitalize troubled Spanish lender Bankia by indirectly tapping the ECB for cash.
Spanish economy ministry spokeswoman said earlier on Wednesday the government did not consult the ECB on its plans to recapitalize nationalized lender Bankia and will likely tap the markets to inject new funds in the bank.

Wait Not Rush & Buy Not Sew
On Monday, when we got home from viewing the condo and house, neither of which was right for us, Howard was quite exhausted. I really feel that God is calling me to move in that direction and yet when I see how difficult that may be for Howard, I wonder if I'm being selfish only every time I think it through and weigh out what I know, it comes back to being the right decision so I'm trusting that all will unfold as it's meant to and we'll end up with the scenario that is right for us. Even so...
... yesterday, was one of those off days when you're not exactly unhappy and you're not excessively sad. It was a thought processing day spent mostly on the couch knitting leaves. The group in Salmon Arm is making a HUGE knitted tree to be exhibited in the art gallery in the fall. So far the roots and the bark have been knit and now they're aiming to collect a million leaves.
The style of leaf I chose takes about ten minute to put together. So far, I've knit seven turquoise, six lime, and four pink. They're like chips - you keep popping them because they're so easy to knit while talking or watching TV. I'll clean up the ends this afternoon while at my friend Rosemarie's and then knit some more. It's a great way for me to be involved and part of the community.
I talked to my daughter yesterday and the nursery is not ready for the things I have so I opted to finish the bunting bags when I get home from my trip when I'll have more time to enjoy the process rather than rush. AND... along the same path... no sewn raincoat. I shopped instead. Kamloops is a semi-dessert area and the weather people are predicting temperatures of 41 Celsius on Sunday. It's not exactly a hot bed of raincoats but I did find this lightweight silver coat on sale 50% off. The style is not as fun as the one I;m sewing. Oh well. Good and enough. I'll finish the sewn one when I get back and - LOL - go from no raincoat to two raincoats in one year. Too funny.
We packed our suitcases on Monday night. Or Howard did at least. Mine is more test packed. I've been filling holes and swapping out a few things all week. I noticed that none of the sweaters I planned to take had closures so I went to the thrift shop yesterday and bought this black cape with cuffs. I'm not overly fond of the buttons and will change them later but for now this works. I also...
... bought this fuchsia sweater that several people have assured me does not look frumpy. It may or may not make the mix because it's fairly heavy. I'll check the weather forecast first to see if it's like to get worn and if so, I may need to wear it on the plane. AND...
... then I bought this turquoise sweater that doesn't button closed but is in one of my favourite colors and styles. Howard says I have to pack it because it looks great on me. Turquoise does. Once it comes out of the wash, I'll de-pill it and see how it looks and perhaps pack a pin to hold it closed if necessary. Again, it depends on the weather forecast. This time weather it'll be warm enough.
Talk soon - Myrna
Grateful - deciding to wait not rush and buy not sew

What's the name brand on that rain coat? That's exactly what I've been looking for. I've concluded that I may need to see my own to get exactly what I wantReplyDeleteReplies
The brand name is Novelti and I bought it at The Bay. Good luck.Delete

Talk about having it all together - you obviously do. Three days before a trip like you're going on and you're knitting leaves and going to visit a friend!!! I'd still be running around worrying about what I might possibly need that I'd forget to pack. No wonder I love your blog. You always give me something to aspire to.ReplyDelete
LOL - it doesn't feel like I have it all together but it sure sounds good. I'm not one for rushing right up to the last minute so I always set my deadlines earlier which gives me time for last minute things before the last minute if that makes sense. Tonight I cleaned my studio as nothing more is likely to happen and tomorrow I'll clean house, swap out a few things in the suitcase, and that's about it. I'm pretty sure I have it covered but if not, they have stores over there.Delete
Wow - you sure had good shopping! The raincoat will work well for your trip and I love the turquoise sweater as it has your style written all over it. I always take light-weight sweaters and tops that layer under my numerous travel raincoats. One of my rain jackets has sleeves that are removable so I have a vest option. Hubby and I travel extensively so I'm always thinking about how garments will pack when I sew or purchase them. I hope you have a fabulous trip! The memories you share will stay with you for a lifetime. KarenReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks. The coat is very light. That's a real bonus. My layering is not as highly advanced as yours sounds. I'm good at a top and sweater with a coat if necessary but not so much after that. No vests. Last time I checked the weather should be around 20/70 which is a level I'm quite used to.Delete
That is a Store-bought Raincoat Coup!! It is excellent. And I hope you never need to wear it on your trip. The turquoise sweater is gorgeous. You might not need a button up sweater. . .ReplyDelete
I have days like yours, thinking days, although I have never knit leaves. The thing is, looking at dwellings and other real estate is exhausting. It's an exhausting process. I was in despair for months before we started to look for a house in Seattle, and in worse despair when we started looking b/c everything was so wrong. Then one day we looked at The House and made an offer. Then I went camping for a week and when I got back we had a house. There's a house/roof there for you. And when you find it it will not be so totally draining any more. It's the looking and finding that are so miserable and exhausting and spirit draining. Put it on the back burner and enjoy your fab trip!Replies
LOL - I might have to wear it once just to justify the time spent finding it. The cape should take care of the button up situation. It's dress up/dress down-ish.Delete
Thanks for understanding the thinking. Perhaps you should knit leaves next time. They're quite soothing/addictive. Trying to figure out what we need and then find it is exhausting but I believe that it will come together just as you say. The home for us may not even be on the market yet. You never know. We'll look when we get back.
I love the leaves! Where can I get the pattern?ReplyDelete

Ah Kansas, my home state. You can always count on them to party like it's 1959. No matter what Kansas does, no matter how stupid, you can set your watch by the fact that they will out-do themselves in spectacular fashion in quick fashion.
There are only two weeks left in session for the Kansas legislature, but they are looking to go out with a bang. Two new bills, Senate Bill 513 and House Bill 2737, have been introduced that target the transgender community and specifically declare open season on transgender students. The legislature would effectively encourage students to seek out and report any transgender student that they find in the "wrong bathroom" or locker room/changing room. If they do, and report the student, they will be authorized to sue the school for $2,500 per incident.
The essential aim of the legislation seems to be reaching for a broader range though. The language of the bill points towards a higher goal of setting a precedent in the state to define gender and completely physical and reliant on physical criteria. The legislation specifically states, "the physical condition of being male or female, which is determined by a person's chromosomes, and is identified at birth by a person's anatomy."
This would set a dangerous precedent that could gain a foothold for other states and champions of limiting transgender rights. If a piece of legislation gets passed that sets a legal definition on gender would soon create a snowball effect that promises to herald an onslaught of legislation.
A "slippery slope" as some conservatives like to say.
Opponents from Within
There are opponents though, including other republicans. Republicans like Stephanie Clayton (R), who attacked the bills and insisted that Kansas should be spending less time worry about bathrooms and more time worry about the state's financial situation and simply keeping schools open.
