About Us
Who Are Aspen Woolf?
Aspen Woolf is an award-winning property investment company that was established in 2005 by two friends, Russell Midgley and Oliver Ramsden.
We specialise in identifying wealth building opportunities for investors of all levels across the globe through property investment.

Mission Statement
"Our clients' success will inevitably lead to our success."
Our business was founded on this principle and so client satisfaction has become second to none. We believe that if we adhere to our principles we will continue to grow as a business while cementing our position as market leaders. Because of this hard work and passion, we have been trusted by investors worldwide for over 11 years.
But how did we get here?
Founded by childhood friends, Russell and Oliver, Aspen Woolf was set up in 2005. Their initial focus was on the emerging markets of Eastern Europe and South America. The company was fortunate to obtain exclusive contracts with some of biggest developers and constructors in both locations. Soon after, Aspen Woolf secured their first development site in northern Brazil and completed the luxurious resort, Pipa Centro.
From the start, both directors have built their own international property portfolios through Aspen Woolf, and continue to invest in many of their company's offerings to this day.
In recent years, they have turned their lens to property in the UK – particularly the strong residential and student markets – and continue to add exciting projects from the hottest international markets to its roster. This side of the business will continue to grow as Aspen Woolf goes from strength to strength, expanding our operations overseas with an office in Dubai, soon to be followed by one in the US. This move will enable us to better cater for our growing number of international clients. As does the launch of Aspen Woolf FX, our currency exchange service. We are also keen to expand our Aspen Woolf Construction arm, following various successes including the 219 bed purpose built student accommodation, The Cube, in Greater Manchester.
It's fair to say, the future looks bright for Aspen Woolf, and for our customers.

If you ask yourself a question "Is proposal of debt settlement a good idea?", then you somehow realized that there are some tricky pitfalls in this issue. Yes, there are.
Debt settlement is a good idea to try to avoid bankruptcy. A good debt settlement company can help you to omit court-mandated controls of bankruptcy and other court issues. Sometimes but not always.
You should understand that debt settlement isn't for everyone. It doesn't work with all types of loans. Furthermore, as a thing that declares bankruptcy, it will change your credit score and impair your credit reports. Therefore, you should turn to the debt settlement only when you are on the verge of the bankruptcy – when you have no other reasonable solution.
A good thing about debt settlement is that it doesn't require a good score, large experience, or thorough accounting (it's already based on the decreased balances of your working accounts).
Is paying credit card debt with settlement a good idea?
Credit card debt settlement is also a good idea in extreme situations (job loss and no other ways of income) or when your balance and interest rate are high. When your account hasn't been transmitted to a collection agency, this process can save your credit score.

What is marketing
Marketing literally means "placing on the market"
The marketing should be like the mirror in the women's handbag: discrete but always present, perfectly "suitable" for every occasion and need and be able to increase confidence. Unfortunately, sometimes it's like the big mirror of American interrogation room: oppressive and not at all clear, you never know what's behind it.
We are increasingly convinced that promotions, advertising, coordinated corporate environments of your restaurant and all those actions and practices that should be selling your services are too often overlooked by most Italian restaurants.
Many are in the situation of managing a separate room, a room that had not thought so, a local "modified" for reasons of survival. This is usually the result of a marketing completely absent or worse hurt.
In the figure the 4P model of the marketing mix, the essential tool for planning the modern restaurant.

I have written poems since I was a child. You come to realise that the potency of the simply written phrase is a thing of beauty and power. Attaining that is another thing altogether! I tend to have days or experiences that immediately lend themselves to be put to poetry, they flow. Other times a phrase or feeling will be put down and the spark will come later. When I am running I find that my mind can wander into that state of being elsewhere and the poem comes. Holding onto those thoughts until back at base with a pencil and sketchbook is the biggest challenge.
I use my poems to add text to many of my pieces. Some poems are written first and guide the image, other times it is the other way around. Most titles of pieces come directly from the poem involved with the work. If you visit my studio and gallery please ask if you are interested in reading more poems and I shall be glad to oblige you.
Please contact me regarding purchasing any poems or using any for publishing purposes.

After seeing the Flash Pack installation at the W Hotel in London, the W Times Square in New York City knew they had to stake their own claim in what's sure to be the next big thing in the world of luxury hotels.
When you're hosting an event, your goal should be to create an experience so amazing that guests will want to remember it forever. At The Flash Pack, we've built our business upon the brilliant idea of combining those two things – i.e., the amazing experience and capturing the moment – into one. So far, people seem to be pretty on board with this idea.
That's how we explain the overwhelming success of our photo booth installation at the W Hotel, London. The motion-activated, next-generation photography behind this booth has made it an international splash, turning the heads of luxurious travellers and celebrities the world over. So as soon as the team from the W Hotel's flagship Times Square location saw the booth in action, they knew they needed a permanent installation of their own.
The W London installation is a stylish, filament-lighted photo booth hidden behind a two-way mirror (originally an unused cupboard converted into a chic compartment). Motion sensors illuminate guests with vibrant lighting as an intuitive touch screen enables the them to apply filters, share their snaps via email, and then reshare to their favourite social channels via the W's custom microsite. With the mere tap of a button, guests have a high-quality photo print of their glamorous encounter and the social media cred to back it up.
The W Times Square booth is similar in many ways to the London installation – but the new booth was part of a multi-million dollar refurbishment, and the folks in NYC told us to let our imaginations run wild.
Just like in London, the booth is encased in one-way glass – but we've pushed the interactivity to new heights. We teamed up with top-tier LED designer BOLD, and the results were pretty special. The booth's walls are dotted with motion-activated LEDs that illuminate guests as they pass their hands about the surface of installation – the lights follow you around too, which is quite a slick trick, if we may say so ourselves.
But it doesn't end with the booth – the entire back wall of the W Times Square bar and club is illuminated with 13 unique, segmented LED displays. When a picture is taken inside, the entire wall/screen flashes elegantly, and otherwise reacts to guests' movement. Not only do the snaps show up on the outside of the booth as their being taken – we also installed high definition flat screens behind the mirrors in the bathroom, which feature a streaming feed of the photos in real-time.
Designed as a completely immersive experience, the installation is located just behind the DJ booth – the best spot in the house to experience all of the action.
The booth launched back in October over Halloween weekend, and it was an immediate smash success. But don't just take our word for it – the numbers speak for themselves: in the booth's first six weeks, partygoers and hotel guests snapped 6,716 photos, downloaded approximately 1,679 prints and visited the W Times Square custom microsite more than 1,295 times.
Sure, these are some impressive results, but when the snaps end up looking this fabulous, is it really that surprising?

A Play in a Day for up to 30 upper KS2 or KS3 pupils
A potted production of Shakespeare's tale of murder and the supernatural. Scotland is facing a rebellion which the King's greatest General, Macbeth, crushes. After the battle he meets three witches who predict his rise to the throne... but following their predictions leads to his own downfall. This play is dramatic, fun and contains every key plot point.
Working together as actors to create a fun, action-packed short performance, informing as much as it entertains, students will delight in this accessible reworking of the Shakespeare classic.
Key themes:
- the value of teamwork
- self-expression
- public speaking
- confidence building
- increased subject knowledge
We recommend some prior knowledge or introduction to Shakespeare or the chosen title for any class undertaking a Shakespeare Play in a Day®. Due to the nature of the piece this particular topic is only availble to Year 6 or strong Year 5 classes.
'Konflux Theatre worked brilliantly with my Year 6 class to produce a super Macbeth play, it was amazing what could be achieved in just one day! The children were engaged and active throughout and loved the opportunity to demonstrate what they knew about Macbeth and bring the characters to life. The workshop allowed children, who were previously dreading the day, to shine and helped build their confidence and self-esteem. We were all sad when the day came to an end! School in Halifax
Konflux Theatre is a registered partner of Shakespeare Week.

Video produced in December, 2016.
Katharine Ross is the senior swimmer in Mizzou Swimming and Diving Team. She owns the Mizzou 100 breast record in a personal best time of 58.15, and earned one first team and one honorable mention honor at the 2016 NCAA Championships.
"I am a racer, and I love to race," Ross said.
Ross said nervous excitement makes her swim faster, and when she gets into a race, it is always fun to her. Mental preparation is another factor made Ross' success, and she said mental side of swimming is critical to the physical side of swimming.
Ross chose Mizzou basically because of the coaches. The fact that the assistant coaches are bond to the program made she want to be a member of this team. Now as a leader of Mizzou Women's Swimming team, Ross wants to see the impact of her confidence on other team members, and their goal for this year is the top 10 in NCAA.
As a Psychology and Political Government double major student, Ross spends most of her time out of the pool in academic study. Although she does not spend as much time on study as on swimming, at the end she cares about study just as much.
"My life isn't like what a normal student's is," Ross said.
As being a student athlete, Ross has to give up most of entertainment and focus on training. However, the responsibility Ross has would shape her character and build her personality to be a better person.
"I think this is probably more valuable to me than anything else I could have been doing," Ross said.

Porn Scenes » Big Tits » Love & Hot Sex
Featuring: Rachel Love and Johnny Champ
Date: 02/24/2012
Duration: 26:00 min.
Pretty SCORE Girl Rachel Love (Mamazon and many SCORE videos) needs a guy who is good at heavy lifting. Not furniture. Rachel's natural and heavy 36F cup tits are what need lifting. And sucking, licking and fucking, too. Her guest is up to the job. How could he not be, checking out Rachel's super-sexy body decorated in a sheer negligee, and see-through bra and panties? "I have some skills that I could show you," tempts Rachel, laying her hands on JC's package. He begins to play with her fleshy tits and is ready to plow her fertile fields. Rachel sits on the edge of the bed and pulls his schvanz out of his jeans, marveling at the size. It's like a new toy for this feisty blonde to play with. Rachel had been told not to put things in her mouth but, like most girls, she always did the opposite and this is no exception.

Appointments Opera
Yesterday, the Minister of Culture of the Russian Federation announced that Director of the Novosibirsk Opera Boris Mezdrich dismissed from his post. New director appointed Vladimir Kehman already managing the Mikhailovsky Theatre in St. Petersburg. The conflict between the Orthodox community and the creators of the opera "Tannhauser" was resolved in favor of the former.
March 13 at the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation held a meeting of the Public Council under the Ministry. In fact, it turned into a public flogging of performance in the presence of the director of the theater. Were in the vast majority of those who "Tannhauser" is not seen. More often than others on the podium raised by representatives of the Russian Orthodox Church. Somehow, no one in the ministry had not thought that the most logical – not to discuss the unseen, and sit down in the evening on a plane, fly to Novosibirsk, to see the play – he was 14 and March 15 – and then discuss the situation is not based on other people's fantasies and unfounded charges, and based on their own experiences.
14 and 15 March "Tannhauser" was a great success. The management of the theater in order to avoid conflict injection remove from registration of the ill-fated banner film "Grotto of Venus" – instead of it going down the gray cloth. Both representations culminated standing ovation, none of the spectators no claims the creators of "Tannhauser" is not presented.
conciliatory gesture theater clearly was not adopted. A few days after the meeting on the website the Ministry of Culture published a statement on the situation around the "Tannhauser". In addition to general arguments and threats to review the funding of the theater it contained appeals to the creators of the show to apologize. That in cases where the accused acquitted, logically they are not, and should apologize to them, the authors of the document is not shown. In addition, the ministry announced the beginning of the financial audit of the theater.
Thus, the Ministry of Culture of solidarity with those who attacked the statement of Timothy Kuljabina. Especially that the Metropolitan Tikhon again asked to give a legal assessment of the actions of the authors of the play – apparently, he does not know that the judgment is a legal assessment. Followed by a statement from the "Orthodox activists" in the address of the FSB, as well as the search for evidence of pornography in the play and even promotion of homosexuality. Demanded the resignation of the director of the theater of the local deputies "United Russia" – though, to see the performance itself, none of inciting conflict and did not bother.
Yesterday in Novosibirsk arrived Deputy Culture Minister Vladimir Aristarkhov. He brought order of the Minister Vladimir Medina of resignation of Boris Mezdricha. In an interview with the TV channel "Russia 24″ Mr. Aristarkhov explained the decision the Ministry of Culture that Boris Mezdrich not apologized to the offended staging. Thus, the Ministry actually went to confront the theater community, ignored the opinion leaders of most of the federal theaters, write a letter in support of one of the best, successful and experienced theater directors of the country – Oleg Tabakov and Lev Dodin, Yevgeny Mironov and Andrew Mighty, the head of the Union of Russia Alexander Kalyagina and head of the Directors Guild of Valery Fokin, heads of famous Moscow theater Galina Volchek, Mark Zakharov, Sergei Zhenovach, Yevgeny Pisarev and musician Boris Grebenshikov, filmmaker Andrei Zvyagintsev and others.
One of the few, if not the only leader of the famous theater, took the side of the persecutors of the play "Tannhauser", was the director of the Mikhailovsky Theatre in St. Petersburg, Vladimir Kehman. "I as a believer, baptism, orthodox, as a Jew, take it as an insult," – said at the time Kehman, performance, as it is easy to assume, has not seen. Yesterday, the reason for this surprising many statements clearer: it Kehman was appointed director of the Novosibirsk Opera instead Mezdricha. However, he said he was not going to leave the Mikhailovsky Theatre. Prepared on "b" list of questions about the future of theater in Novosibirsk Mr. Kehman replied succinctly: "The first thing I would do – Novosibirsk Theatre will be returned to its historical name – the Bolshoi Theatre in Siberia." Interestingly, the Novosibirsk Opera officially never been so called. But see the scope of the new director – the name change from the perspective of the financial process is extremely costly.
It is not clear how to effectively manage the two largest musical theater, located four hours away from each other. Quirkiness such appointment unless pales next to the dismissal Mezdricha, which has already seen the theater community as a sign of victory reactionary tendencies in the cultural policy.

FX Beat
DXY: The dollar index on track to end the year down more than 9 percent, its worst showing since 2003. DXY is trading extremely weak after breaking major support 93. The index declined sharply till 92.31 and at the time of writing was trading around 92.38.
EUR/USD: The common currency showed little immediate reaction to Italy's announcement that it will hold an election on March 4. The euro was steady at $1.1947 and in close reach of a one-month high of $1.1959 hit the previous day. It has gained 0.3 percent in December. The pair is facing trend line resistance at 1.19615 (Nov 27th 2017 high) and any break above that level will take the pair to next level to 1.200/1.2090. On the lower side, any break below 1.1900 (20- 4H MA) will drag the pair to next level till 1.1850 (50 –4H MA)/1.1800/1.1730. Any minor weakness can be seen only below 1.1700.
USD/JPY: The dollar was 0.29 percent lower at 112.53 yen. The pair is on track to lose 3.5 percent in 2017. The major has breached 50-DMA support at 112.97 on Thursday's trade. Cautious sentiment around European equities should continue to underpin the Japanese Yen's safe-haven appeal, capping any recovery amid pre-holiday thin trading. Technical studies for the pair hint further downside. Stochs and RSI are biased lower. Next major support lies at 112.25 (trendline) ahead of 38.2% Fibo at 111.90. On the flipside retrace and close above 50-DMA could invalidate bearish bias.
GBP/USD: Cable spikes to 1.35 handle as USD selling continues unabated. GBP/USD has broken major resistance at 1.3500 and jumped till 1.35125 at the time of writing. It is currently trading around 1.34549. The near term resistance is around 1.3550 and any break above will take the pair to next level till 1.3600/1.3655. Bullish continuation only above 1.3550. On the lower side, near term support is around 1.3390 (100- 4H MA) and any break below will drag the pair to next level till 1.3350/1.330/1.3220. Short term bullish invalidation only below 1.30280.
USD/CHF: USD/ CHF extended slump for 3rd consecutive session, down 0.31 percent on the day at around 1115 GMT. The pair is showing a huge sell-off after making a minor top around 0.99154. The pair breaks minor support of 0.9800 and declined 0.97508. It is currently trading around 0.98548. On the higher side, near term resistance is around 0.9800 and any break above will take the pair to next level till 0.9865/0.9900/0.9970 (Dec 8th 2017 high)/1.000. It should break above 1.0040 for short term bullishness. The near term support is around 0.9705 and any violation below that level will drag the pair to next level till 0.9635/0.9600.
AUD/USD: The Aussie was headed for a 3 percent monthly gain, lifted by a rise in the prices of commodities like iron ore and copper.

It cannot be stressed more that the motherboard is the MOST important part of your computer.It is worth investing in a decent motherboard rather than a CPU (although if financiallyacceptable, both) as your motherboard is what connects different parts of the computertogether. In addition, the difference between a cheap and a nice motherboard is typically around$100 US. A good motherboard allows a modest CPU and RAM to run at max efficiencywhereas a bad motherboard causes high-end products to run only modestly.There are 6 things one must consider in choosing a motherboard, CPU Interface, Chipset, IDEor SATA support, Expansion Slot Interfaces and Other Connectors.CPU Interface The CPU interface is the "plug" that your processor goes into. For yourprocessor to physically fit in the motherboard, the interface must be an exact match to yourprocessor.
Intel currently has two mainstream formats, the older Socket 478 (which is graduallybeing phased out) and the newer Land Grid Array 775, which supports higher end CPU withHT technology due to its more efficeint transfer rate. AMD currently uses two sockets, 754 and939. Socket 754 is being aimed at the value market, with all new performance CPUs beingreleased for Socket 939.Formfactor You must choose a case that your motherboard can fit inside of.Chipset Chipsets are also important as it determines the efficiency of RAM and Expansionslots Intel 915 supports upto 533MHz DDRII RAM Intel 925 supports upto 600MHz DDRIIRAMThe functions of BIOS is highly important. Some BIOS features crash proof functions essentialfor updating the firmware. Other motherboards allow BIOS control of overclocking of CPU,RAM and Graphics card which are much more stable and safer for overclocking.IDE (ATA) or SATA interface Older PCs have the two IDE interface which are parallel 44pin connectors but as the motherboard cannot access two devices connected on the same IDEport simultaneously, this has caused a drawback in speed of hard drives and DVD-drives. Thenewer serial ATA (SATA) interface has 4 separate slots that allow independent access and thusincreases the speed of which hard drives work.Expansion Slot Interfaces Old motherboards have the following slots:•AGP - for graphics cards (ranging from AGP 1x, 2x, 4x and 8x)•PCI - for expansion cards and obsolete low end graphics cardsDue to the evolution of new graphics cards on the serial PCI-Express Technology, currentnewer motherboards have the following connections:•PCI-Express 16x - for mainstream graphics cards (4 times speed of AGP 8x)•PCI-Express 1x - for faster expansion cards (replacing older PCI)•PCI - for use of old expansion cards (would be phased out)Older AGP 8x graphics cards are generally being phased out for PCI-Express 16x, as the speedand efficiency is about 4 times that of the AGP 8x technology. Old PCI cards are either nowbuilt into the motherboard (for sound cards, LAN cards, IEEE 1394 firewire and USB 2.0interfaces) or becoming PCI-Express variants.Other Connectors Some considerations for other connectors and expansions include•USB - the number and version of USB connectors (USB 1.0, 1.1 or 2.0)•On-Board Sound Card - Stereo, 3.1, 5.1, 6.1, 7.1, 8.1•On-Board Graphics Card (Phasing Out)•On-Board Base 100 LAN Card•Serial COM or Parallel Printer Ports•On-Board IEEE 1394 FirewireI would suggest at least 4 USB 2.0 ports for high speed access. On-Board Graphics cards aregenerally becoming obsolete as they cannot match the newer PCI-Express 16x technology,especially for gaming where high cooling and efficiency is required.Most motherboards also come with onboard sound. Onboard sound is more than enough formost users, although if you are particular about audio quality or plan to use your computer torecord high-end audio, you may prefer to use a dedicated sound card (preferably PCI-Express1x). Some high-end motherboards support on-board 5.1 Channel Dolby surround sounds so thismay also be a consideration.Onboard graphics are very acceptable for anyone not playing 3D games or using 3D graphicsapplications. Onboard graphics will use a small amount of system RAM as graphics memory(often called shared memory). Purchasing a motherboard with a built-in graphics card is aneasy way to save money for an office computer.If you want gigabit Ethernet, you should purchase a motherboard with the feature built in. Bybeing built into the motherboard, it will have a faster link to all your components than it wouldthrough a PCI expansion card. Also, if you'd like to import Digital Video (DV) onto yoursystem, many motherboards offer onboard FireWire ports.If you are upgrading an older computer, keep in mind the motherboard's number and type ofexpansion board slots.

Hey I'm 18 and have been lifting since I was in 7th grade and am now a senior. I'm interested In the dball cycle over the dianabol but have a few questions. The first question is do I need to take a test booster with it? Although it is recommended Ik if you mess with your body's natural production at a young age it can screw up your production of it. My next question is about after you finish it. I'm seeing stuff about if the effects last and what I'm asking is if the dball effects of muscle growth wear off or do you lose the muscle you gained. What iv got from reading is if you just take the pills daily without test booster which is my option I'm really wanting to take, after my cycle runs out I won't just lose muscle or stop growth will I? Thanks for you're time and get back to me asap as I'm looking to order it soon
The ingredients include (and are not limited to) 1,500 mg of an amino acid called "L-Leucine", which on its own merit has the capacity to stimulate muscle and protein synthesis and slow the degradation of muscle tissue by increasing the synthesis of muscle proteins. In fact, it's the only amino acid that has that capacity.
The new bodybulding pill also includes "L-Arginine", which is a common amino acid that helps in the healing of wounds, improves immune function, and the release of hormones.
ANA-GH also has many other ingredients and a proprietary blend that will work to get you the best results possible.
Review our blog on the ingredients for more detailed information: Detailed ANA-GH Information

Village council with be voting on proposed changes to the zoning code on September 6th.
Below is the link to view the proposed changes.
Council meetings are held the first Thursday of the month at 7:00 PM
100 West Middle Street
Burbank, Ohio
Our Village may qualify for receiving Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) monies if we meet the income eligibility requirement. Our goal is to conduct major infrastructure work such as repairs/repaving all Village streets and the removal and reinstallation of all storm sewers, upgrading all existing sidewalks as well as possible additional Park upgrades.
To determine if we qualify for these Grant monies we need our citizens to complete a totally confidential Income Survey. Your Village Mayor, Council members and Fiscal Officer will be conducting the survey which consists of 2 questions and can be completed in less than 5 minutes.
We are planning to conduct these survey's on August 11th, 13th, 18th, 20th, 25th and 27th by visiting your home on one of these dates at various times as we realize our residents have a variety of working schedules. We only need one adult household member to be present and each Village official will be wearing an Official Village Name Tag identifying them as members of your Village Council.
We need all residents to participate in this survey if we have any chance of qualifying for these Grant monies as we strive to begin the work listed above in 2017 and taking several years to complete. If we qualify, this survey is good for 5 years so we can avoid yearly surveys which takes time from your busy schedules.
Please help us to help our Village by participating in this survey as we try to qualify for these CDBG Grant monies. If you have any questions and want to contact any of your Village government officals, visit our website at "www.villageofburbankoh.com" for our e-mail addresses or visit Village Hall that has this information posted on the outdoor bulletin board along with some additional contact information.
Best regards,
Carolyn Dibler

Connections have taken their time on making a final decision over whether the 12 year-old should race on, but champion trainer Paul Nicholls and owner Clive Smith have decided to call time on a brilliant career that also included five King George VI Chases.
Walsh partnered Kauto Star to 17 victories, including his Gold Cup triumphs and his five wins in the King George. He said: "He's the horse of my lifetime. I'm very lucky to be the one who got to ride him.
"He was an incredible horse from the beginning, from when he won his novice chase in Newbury all the way to his fifth King George.
"He's got me to places I didn't think I'd ever be. He was just an incredible horse.
"A couple of Gold Cups, Betfair Chases, five King Georges, Tingle Creeks - he did everything.
"He was an amazing horse to ride and an amazing horse to be part of and I loved every minute of riding him.
"I remember going to Newbury to ride him (on his first run in Britain) and thinking, 'This is half an Arkle'.
"Paul said he was a nice horse and he came down the straight with his head in his chest.
"I had so much horse underneath me and from that day I was in love with him.
"He had a few knocks and a few setbacks but he was always an exceptional horse and a tough horse.
"He came back from hard races and heavy falls. He just kept coming back and getting back up to Grade One level again.
"He was a little indecisive (when jumping), so you always then had to be decisive.
"I have some amazing memories, so many good days.
"He was a wonderful horse to be riding and a wonderful horse to have in your life."
Jockey Sam Thomas, who won the 2008 Cheltenham Gold Cup aboard Denman, partnered Kauto to glory in the 2007 Betfair Chase at Haydock.
He said: "I was lucky enough to ride him and win on him and he has been a very special horse.
"He did an enormous amount to raise the profile of National Hunt racing and I think enormous credit has to go to Paul Nicholls for producing to win all those big races on the big days.
"To win two Gold Cups, Tingle Creeks and five King Georges is incredible and he might not have done that had he been trained by anyone else.
"It's a shame we won't see him run again but at least he will be able to enjoy his retirement with his old friend Denman.
"I think Kauto's record will struggle to be beaten in my generation and now he's retired, along with Denman, it's the end of an era.
"The battles between the two of them were a big part of my career and part of my life that I'll never forget.
"Kauto was a wonder horse and we might not see the likes of him and Denman again."

Maybe your spouse is traditional yet you love shabby chic. Or maybe you would like to figure out a way to use Grandmother's antique armoire in your über contemporary living room. No matter the reason, mixing decorating styles is easier than one would think.
In truth, there are very few "pure" decorating styles. Most styles are a blend of several different eras and periods of styles. Design styles are usually birthed when designers (or even homemakers) take the best of certain periods or fashions and incorporate these elements into homes.
For example, what is currently considered the traditional style really grew out the early country styles, and most of the country styles today are considered traditional.
New decorating styles have also developed due to a mixing of styles. For example, the transitional style is simple a balanced blend of contemporary and traditionally styled furnishings and decor. Though the founders of the eclectic style liked to think of themselves as followers of none, today's eclectic style can also be considered a mesh or blend of many different styles to create a look unique to a particular home dweller.
But how does one mix different periods and styles of furnishings and decor, to either create a new look, to follow a mixed-style look, or to simply make it all work in the space? Easy, when you know what to do.
Your goal is to create a space that the eyes and the mind view as a whole. Try these tips to mix styles effortlessly and create a room that appears cohesive and unified.
Choose a limited color palette
Too many colors can detract and make each piece in your room feel like it stands alone. One of my college professors constantly reminded us to "spread the wealth" when it came to color, meaning that one should repeat the same colors throughout the space to bring items (and the room) together.
Choose a unifying pattern
A shape or motif used throughout the space can bring a room together and keep decor from appearing scattered. Also, one could pick up on the lines of a sofa or favorite chair and repeat that curve or line throughout the space.
Choose the oddball to be the focal point
If you have an assorted decor collection or a piece of furniture that just doesn't look like the rest of your stuff, don't try to hide it. Draw attention to it by using it as the focal point of your space and building the rest of the room around it. This is a great way to turn something that normally wouldn't fit or match into the "wow" factor.
Choose woods that match
It's amazing how two totally contrasting periods of furniture will go well together when they are stained the same shade or made from the same wood. Keep your wood tones consistent to tie pieces together.
Choose a few stock furnishings
Blend several unique pieces with the ambiguity of big box store, or stock, furniture and decor. Consider solid colors or finishes with a clean, everyday look – something that won't compete with your other furnishings or decor.
Choose a theme
I'm not suggesting a room filled with duck decor or creating a china doll emporium, but choosing a certain theme or look such as coastal or mountain lodge can really bring a room's elements together. This works especially well in a kid's room.
Decorator's Hint
Remember that decorating and design rules are never written in stone. What usually works in most spaces often becomes a decorating "rule" (or at least a strong suggestion), but that suggestion may not work in your space. Feel free to bend or even break the rules when creating and decorating your room. After all, your home belongs to you!

Delta Airlines' Windows Phone rollout may show Microsoft's fortunes improving
Credit: Microsoft
Delta Airlines' announcement that it will equip flight attendants with Windows Phone devices could be a sign of rising enterprise interest in Windows mobiles, according to a Telsyte analyst.
Delta announced today that its more than 19,000 flight attendants will start using Windows Phone 8 devices to streamline on-board purchasing. The attendants will use Nokia Lumia 820 smartphones. The app that will be used by attendants was developed by Avanade and will operate over WiFi and AT&T's 4G LTE network.
Delta flight attendants will use the smartphones to quickly process credit card transactions in the air for on-board purchases including seat upgrades. The will soon use the devices to read coupons displayed on a customer's mobile device.
"Delta's 19,000 in-flight professionals are there for the safety and comfort of our customers, and equipping them with innovative solutions means they can better meet our customers' needs on board every flight," said Delta senior vice president, Joanne Smith. "This is yet another way we're investing in technology to improve the customer experience."
Telsyte analyst Rodney Gedda said the announcement shows that Windows is "getting more attention in the business space."
In Australia, about 22 per cent of enterprises developing mobile apps intend to use Windows Phone, Gedda said. "From our research, we know that the intention is there among CIOs to use Windows Phone devices."
"Even though the [Windows Phone] penetration rate isn't as high as BlackBerry or iOS and Android, the intention to be supported is there."
Gedda noted that Delta has not gone exclusive Windows for mobile. The airline developed its consumer Fly Delta app for iOS, Android, BlackBerry and Windows. "Delta is a big enough company to use these point solutions as it needs to."
Microsoft has the advantage of already being in front of CIOs' eyes in areas besides mobile, said Gedda. "Microsoft is still the dominant business PC operating system, so there's certainly interest in using its Windows Phone platform as well."
Microsoft has "existing relationships with enterprises [and] it's a very competitive company that doesn't take no for answer."

Full Definition of obsolete
a : no longer in use or no longer useful
b : of a kind or style no longer current : old-fashioned
Full Definition of useful
: capable of being put to use; especially : serviceable for an end or purpose
: of a valuable or productive kind
Obviously the fed is still in use so we must be arguing whether it is useful. It is useful if it serves some purposes. I'll enumerate a few purposes that the fed meets to show that it is still useful and thus not obsolete:
1. Allows the government to spend more than it is able to raise from taxing and selling bonds to citizens.
2. Preserves the status quo.
3. Keeps political power in the hands of the powerful.
4. Protects the special interests of bankers by allowing them to make risky gambles by allowing them to reap the rewards when they win their gambles, but bail them out when they lose.
I don't believe the fed is beneficial to the average person and agree that we'd be fine without it (although I don't think it's wise to keep the money supply the same), but we're not debating whether the fed is beneficial to the masses or necessary, we're debating whether it is obsolete. It is not obsolete because it is fulfilling several purposes and is useful in meeting the desired ends of the economically and politically elite. So long as the fed fulfills purposes it is not obsolete, those purposes don't need to be benevolent.
We can't keep the money supply the same. We have too many liabilities, we can't meet those with the current money supply. Keeping the supply the same is such a drastic change from current and previous policy that it would create massive unrest in the market and the world. The change could cause a run on banks, and the banks wouldn't have enough cash to pay out, ironically because the fed couldn't assist. Were you to design an economic system from scratch I can see reasons to consider a constant quantity of money, but we can't just make a switch to that now. There may be some strategies to dismantle the fed, but holding money supply constant and not replacing some of its other functions wouldn't work.
The fed is useful for at least one of its stated purposes. It maintains the stability of the financial system. It has every motive to fulfill this function since it is a large part of the financial system. It did this with TARP. It also guarantees loans at predictable rates.
The Fed's reports inform and guide the decisions of policymakers and investors.
Keep in mind that I don't believe any of these arguments are necessary because I made a solid case in round 2. If I made my case in round 2 none of this should be relevant. This is just an extra layer of support.
Since you're the instigator and arguing the Pro side the onus is on you to prove the resolution that you originally stated when you created the debate.
Even if we should be arguing whether we'd be fine without it instead of whether it is obsolete, the onus would still be on you to prove it and I think you might have failed to do so. Your only argument came in R3 and I don't think it is sound because keeping the money supply the same doesn't keep inflation at 0%, it puts it negative (deflation), and because of the decreasing prices it encourages hoarding of currency which can be considered a sort of investment, but doesn't mean more jobs or a better economy. I do agree that we could be better off without the fed, but I don't think you proved it nor do I think that keeping the money supply the same would work.
I hope you got some value out of the debate despite our disagreement about what we should be debating. I appreciate the debate, maybe we can find another topic to debate sometime. Anyway it was my first debate and I still found it good practice. I will welcome any advice or criticism from you or the voters.
Thanks for taking the time to debate me.

Does anyone agree with the ideology?
this is an opinion* not a blunt faced statement.
everyman should have to build his reputation, not bargain for it. Bargaining for wealth is delusional - it has too many flaws to begin and not ream. Computers, music devices, phones, privileges should be earned through directly relative effort.
utopia is great.. I dare tell you dream. Truman here is on the right track. whether I am right or wrong.
so I do agree.

7 points to Pro. Reasons for voting decision: Pro was more reasonable.
[*Reason for removal*] The voter doesn't explain any of the point allocations, merely making a generalized statement that fails to explain the decision.

I can vote Con just based on that, since the burden is on Pro -- I buy Con's interpretation.
But even under a shared burden, Con is winning this debate. Con argues that: (1) it gives the government greater budget, (2) it preserves the status quo, and (3) it protects interests. Pro drops Con's arguments entirely, and under Con's definition of obsolete, it negates the res. Despite the lack of sources for this claim, it's clear from definitional clarity that this is the purpose of the Fed.
Thus, I vote Con.
Posted by tejretics 2 years ago
This vote is on behalf of the Voter Union, which is a group of voters created by donald.keller. PM him for details.
The resolution (henceforth "the res.") says, "The Federal Reserve is obsolete." As Con correctly defines in R2, "obsolete" means "not currently in use." It's unclear whether the burdens are shared or not, but I will interpret the res. with the burden being on Pro, on account of the fact that it is a fact-based resolution. The res. implies that it "is" not currently in use, not "it ought to be replaced." As such, the proof burden is on Pro.
The debate begins in R2, where Pro clarifies that he's arguing for an alternative to the Fed, as opposed to the idea that the Fed is not currently being used. He merely advocates for an alternative to "keep money supply the same." But Pro's burden, as established above, is an entirely different one. Pro has to prove that the Fed is "obsolete," not that it should be abolished and replaced with something else. An advocacy position, as Con points out, is illegitimate because Pro is shifting the goalpost by changing the res. in R2, when the same was not clarified in R1. Pro's final defense in R4 is, "I clarified in R2 that my argument was that we don't need the Fed." As Con points out, Pro is changing the res. But Pro has further defense in R5. Pro claims that the second round was for establishing whatever the advocacy position was, but that is specified nowhere. There's no reason we have to interpret it that way. Con correctly shows that Pro is merely changing the res. out of no where. I prefer Con's interpretation.
Pro doesn't fulfill their burden at all under this interpretation, because Pro doesn't even argue for such an interpretation of the res. Furthermore, Pro lacks evidence to back up any of their claims. Regardless of whatever their truth is, it is up to Pro to justify their claims. So even if I interpret the res. as Pro wants me to, I'm not voting for him.

Reasons for voting decision: Arguments to con. Arg 2: Here's the problem. Pro states "R2 is where we illustrate our arguments." Except, in Arg 2, much of the confusion in this debate is because left failed to illustrate any argument. Con at least structured his argument 2, with 4 reasons provided, to conclude "So long as the fed fulfills purposes it is not obsolete, those purposes don't need to be benevolent." I expected more support for the assertions, except Pro never refuted them. Arg 3: Pro again had an opportunity to create an agrument and clarify the position he failed to clarify in 1 & 2. Except here he went with an unsupported opinion: "none of them are practical and we could easily do without their services." Con makes unsupported rebuttals. Again, Pro does not refute any statements. Args 4&5: Much of the same from pro. Instead of presenting an argument, he reiterates the misunderstandings. 5 opportunities for pro to support the "obsolete" claim. None were used. Con is correct that Pro failed the Bo

WRIGHTWOOD --Saturday was a good day in the mountains for skiers and snow boarders in the Inland Empire. The sun is shining, the powder is flying and the slopes are packed.People arrived early at Mountain High Resort in Wrightwood, eager to enjoy the four inches of fresh snow that blanketed the area during Friday's storm. By mid-morning it looked like rush hour on the slopes.
"It's awesome," said snowboarder Blake Adham. "Mountain High is awesome all the time. But since it just dumped yesterday it can't get much better than this."
For resort operators in Southern California it's a great way to kick off the long President's Day holiday weekend and even more snow is expected Sunday night.
"I came up last weekend and it was gorgeous, so we came up again today and it's amazing," said Marissa Mathews.
For the beginning skiers and snowboarders the good thing about all the powder is that it makes for a soft landing. MORE LOCAL HEADLINES FROM INLAND EMPIRE

Our Painting degree is one of the few courses in the UK that offers specialist study in the subject.
Painting has been taught at Brighton for over 150 years and this course builds on this history by questioning and redefining the role of painting in society.
At Brighton, there is no house style – we encourage you to test boundaries in an environment of discussion and debate.
Painting teaches you that meaning will come from making your work, rather than any preconceptions about what art is. It maintains contemporary relevance because it speaks from the heart of its creators.
To develop, you must be unafraid of taking risks and willing to learn through both failure and success.
The practice and research interests of our teaching staff differ widely, but we all share the desire to be surprised, and to delight in difference and possibilities of the new. This breadth of knowledge creates and informs the course.

Hear from 2017 graduate Cameron Duke discuss his experience of the Fine Art Painting BA(Hons)
Work by Sooeon Jeong – graduated 2017
Year 1
First year tuition develops your ability to produce self-directed work. Studio practice units emphasise experimentation and risk-taking within a critical but supportive environment; workshops cover all technical essentials of painting; you'll explore the contexts of art; and seminars introduce you to professional development.
Making sure that what you learn with us is relevant, up to date and what employers are looking for is our priority, so courses are reviewed and enhanced on an ongoing basis. When you have applied to us, you'll be told about any new developments through our applicant portal.
Year 2
In your second year you continue to produce self-directed work, but there is greater emphasis on its relationship to the worlds of cultural and political debate. The interim show teaches you about the key issues of exhibiting publicly, and the option module allows you to explore topics outside your usual learning range.
You may apply for overseas study placements in Japan and Korea.
*Option modules are indicative and may change, depending on timetabling and staff availability.
Final year
In your final year you produce a body of work to professional standard, exhibiting it in the acclaimed, annual graduate shows; write a research essay to define and contextualise your practice; and receive professional development lectures on subjects ranging from self-employment to project management, networks and planning strategies.
Assessment for studio units is based on artwork and writings; historical and critical work is assessed through written work and presentations. You'll receive written feedback on your progress. At these points you complete your own self-assessment matching the form used by your tutors. These encourage you to reflect on your development.
A vital resource in all fine art disciplines at Brighton is the studio.

It teaches you self-motivation and self-belief…
Sophie Malyon
"As an artist, I feel that I have progressed dramatically throughout the three years at uni and have become confident in developing a strong visual language of my own.
I am very grateful for all the guidance I have received over the past 3 years as it was vital for my development."
Sooeon Jeong
"I have really enjoyed this course. As an international student, experiencing other student's perspectives expanded my notion of art. I have felt that my ideas and works have been addressed with a variety of views, and I have been respected as an artist in critics and tutorials. I have been able to develop my visual ideas with strong concepts over the three years.
Overall, this course has given me the confidence to be a professional artist."
Johnnie Valantine
"I started my undergraduate degree in Fashion at UAL. After completing the first year I decided that the course didn't fulfil my needs as a student or as a visual practitioner. In response to this I applied for the BA Fine Art Painting at Brighton and I didn't look back.
The course has provided me a strong foundation for the critical engagement with the language of painting; this has been delivered through 1-1 tutorials, visiting artist talks and discussions around the practice of painting. The tutors have provided a supportive yet stimulating environment for studio work to take place.There is a high-level of academic engagement and support throughout the whole teaching program on the course.
Overall the course has enabled my practice to flourish around talented fellow students. There is a real sense of moral and community on the course and within the university. I have never regretted transferring to Brighton and thank all of the tutors and my fellow colleagues for making my university experience unforgettable."
