One of the greatest Brigitte Bardot albums you could ever buy – some of the grooviest, sexiest work the famous French actress ever cut! The album's overflowing with excellent original material written by Bardot by Serge Gainsbourg and Francis Lai – two of our favorite French composers of the 60s, and both a very good choice to work with Brigitte! Bardot sings in a sexy, whispery style that's a bit like Jane Birkin, but somewhat different too – and the arrangements are by Michel Colombier, Paul Pio, and Christian Gaubert – three talents who definitely keep things groovy. There's a few instrumentals mixed in with the vocal tracks – but that's totally fine with us, because they're all pretty great – and there's plenty of moments with a nice groove and a bit of funk. Titles include "Harley Davidson", "Ay Que Viva La Sangria", "Gang Gang", "David B", "Mister Sun", "Paris", "On Demenage", and "Contact" – plus the excellent "Marseillaise Generique" instrumental – used to great effect in Austin Powers! © 1996-2018, Dusty Groove, Inc.
We realize that there are many different interpretations of the standard grades used for pre-owned vinyl record albums & CD, so we thought we'd offer you the ones that we are working with, so you have an idea what we mean when we give the grade for a non-new item on our pages.
Below are stated conditions for a used vinyl records at Dusty Groove. Grading for the cover should be assumed to be near (within a "+" or "-") the grading for the vinyl. If there is significant divergence from the condition of the vinyl, or specific flaws, these will be noted in the comments section of the item. However, please be aware that since the emphasis of this site is towards the music listener, our main concern is with the vinyl of any used item we sell. Additionally, all of our records are graded visually; considering the volume of used vinyl we handle, it is impossible for us to listen to each record. If we spot any significant flaws, we make every attempt to listen through them and note how they play.
The following grading conditions apply to the vinyl component of an album or single:
This is what it says, that the record is still held fast in shrink-wrap. We tend to be pretty suspicious about these things, so if the shrink-wrap doesn't look original, or if the record seems to have undergone some damage over time, we'll probably take it out of the wrapper to ensure that it's in good shape — which is why we don't have more of these. In some cases the shrink-wrap may be torn in spots, but if it's not possible the record has been taken out and played, the record will still qualify as "Sealed".
Dusty Groove does not use the grades of Near Mint (or Mint, for that matter) because in our experience, we find that no records ever qualify for such a high grade. Even sealed records tend to have one or two slight faults, enough to usually qualify them for a grade of NM- or lower. We've often found that records which are clearly unplayed will have a slight amount of surface noise, especially in quieter recordings.
This is a grade we rarely use, as we try not to sell records in very bad condition, though in some rare cases we will list a record in such bad shape that it does not conform to the standards above. A "Fair" record will have enough marks or significant flaws that it does not even qualify as "Good", but is a copy you might consider for playing, if you're willing to put up with noise and/or flaws. An example might be a recording with surface noise so heavy that it is equal to the volume of the music. For records listed as "Fair", we will describe the extent of the condition in the comments.
Like "Fair", we rarely list records in this condition, as they represent the extreme low end of spectrum. These records typically have multiple serious problems, and we offer them as "relics" or "objects" only — for those who want to at least have a copy of a record, even if it is not really worthy of play, perhaps for the cover alone. For these records, we will describe the extent of the condition in the comments.
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.
We have only one grade for non-new CDs at Dusty Groove — "Used CD". This grade is somewhat all-encompassing, but we choose it because we try to offer Used CDs in the best shape possible. All of our Used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. If you purchase a Used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly — and if it does not, then you may return it for a full refund.
With our Used CDs, you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks — clean, and not dirty at all. You can also expect the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves — putting fresh cases on Used CDs we handle) — and you can expect the booklet to be in good shape, unless noted otherwise. We will list any specific details/defects underneath the item — so look for notes on cutout marks in the case, stamps on the barcode, or details like that.

Emilia Clarke Talks About THAT Fiery 'Game of Thrones' Scene
Emilia Clarke is opening up about stripping down and showing off her body in the latest episode of her hit show Game of Thrones.
SPOILER ALERT – Daenerys Targaryen escaped from the Dothraki captors and showed everyone who's boss by emerging from an epic fire without wearing any clothes.
"It's so exciting, very tingly-making. Every season I get at least one spine-chilling moment. I just stand up and I go, 'I'm hearing what you're all saying, but funny thing, I'm going to kill you all. I forgot that I have an ace in my back pocket and now I win,'" Emilia told Entertainment Weekly about the scene.
"I'd like to remind people the last time I took my clothes off was season 3," she said. "That was awhile ago. It's now season 6. But this is all me, all proud, all strong. I'm just feeling genuinely happy I said 'Yes.' That ain't no body double!"
"Taking off my clothes is not the easiest thing, but with the magic of the effects, I don't have to do a season 1 and go on a cliff and do it," she added. "I'm in control of it."

Powderhorn Ranch Purchase Sets a Texas Record
The Powderhorn Ranch purchase will go down in Texas conservation land history.
It may appear the whole Lone Star State is being covered in cement and asphalt these days, but we have some good news for Texas nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts: the largest conservation land purchase in state history took place.
The Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation has announced that the 17,351-acre Powderhorn Ranch, along the coast in Calhoun County, will become a state park and wildlife management area. The purchase will cost $37.7 million, the most ever raised and put towards conserving land in Texas.
More from the Lone Star State
TPWD says the purchase has been considered for more than 30 years. After purchase of the property, an additional $12 million will be used for habitat restoration and management and an endowment.
A large portion of the funding for the project was provided by the Gulf Environmental Benefit Fund, created by BP and Transocean in plea agreements for the Deepwater Horizon spill.
It will be the largest land purchase stemming from BP's restoration funds after the 2010 disaster.
Officials anticipate the purchase will not only conserve one of the largest coastal prairie properties in the state, but provide Texans with new recreation opportunities. While plans for the area are still developing, TPWD officials say the land is perfect for hunting, fishing, hiking, boating, and bird watching.
In addition, Powderhorn Ranch will be a shelter for several species of wildlife, including the endangered whooping crane as well as whitetail deer, turkey, quail and waterfowl.
The ranch also contains thousands of acres of wetlands and marshes, which provide natural water filtering and help prevent sea level rise to protect local residents from floods and storm surges.
Supporters of the purchase are hopeful it will help ward off development and environmental degradation in the area. With the funds gleaned from the infamous Deepwater Horizon oil spill, TPWD and its partners hope the Powderhorn Ranch and other conservation projects will not only repair some of the damage caused, but help to prevent similar disasters in the future.
What do you think of the Powderhorn purchase? How would you help conserve great hunting and fishing spots in your state? Let us know in the comments.

The Appalachian Trail runs right near the area we were, so we decided to take a short walk up to Weverton Cliffs. An amazing view out over the river and land.

At least 200 people have been killed and over 560 injured this November according to AKE Intelligence. While civilians have been targeted, the Iraqi security forces have been the primary targets. Risk mitigation company AKE monitors security trends in the country and will publish its November research in a report issued on Monday.
There have been bombings in Basrah, Taji, Khalis and even the normally well-defended International Zone (often referred to as the Green Zone). There is genuine concern that the country could slip back into violence and civil war once the Us troops have withdrawn and the huge columns of departing US troops and supplies are there for all to see. Most US troops will have left the country by Christmas.
AKE's Iraq specialist John Drake warns that safety and security issues still need to be addressed. "Violence may ebb and flow in Iraq but in the event of a major deterioration in the security environment firms will have to ensure that they have robust crisis management and contingency plans in place to deal with the situation."
"Bear in mind that if a company suffers a medical crisis, such as the injury of an employee, there will no longer be the medical assistance which was previously provided by the US military."
"It may sound daunting, but the economic potential in Iraq is significant. Risk-aware companies which prepare themselves appropriately and invest in the country will likely find themselves far ahead of their competitors."
Iraq offers huge opportunities to international oil and gas companies as the industry was effectively strangled under the old regime by sanctions and chronic under-investment, huge gains stand to be made by any company willing to invest the in Iraq's oil and gas fields.

Wednesday on Newsmax TV's "The Steve Malzberg Show," Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol said Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is bringing up questions about his rival Canada-born senator Ted Cruz's (R-TX) eligibility to be president because Trump is "worried" about Cruz surging in the polls.
Kristol said, "Every lawyer I've talked to thinks Cruz is eligible. Maybe Trump will be effective though. It's sort of though raising a question mark and presumably there are voters who are torn between Trump and Cruz. Cruz seems to be eroding some of Trump's voters. I do think he's a little worried about Cruz. Cruz I think is ahead in Iowa now. He's gaining a little in new Hampshire. And this California poll which I think is interesting because it's a state no one has campaigned in right with a very late primary. So in a way you could say it's kinda like a national poll. It's not capturing a particular local effect and there Cruz is even with Trump. I do think Cruz is making a pretty strong run and Trump is worried."

5 Realizations You'll Have During College
Once you enter college, you would come into realizations that might affect your current disposition. It is only you who could decide whether you would embrace it positively or not. Here are things you would encounter and the truths behind it.
#5. You need to step out of your comfort zone
Filipino households usually practice teaching and passing on what the young ones need to learn to be independent enough to prepare them for bigger responsibilities. However, other households do otherwise, thus, the children grow up to be either too dependent or too ignorant about the basic knowledge and skills one must be equipped with before embarking upon the journey in the real world.
In College:
You can no longer expect your parents to always be around you and to shoulder your responsibilities all the time. Don't even bother asking them the secrets to 'Surviving College 101' because the only way to figure out is to know for yourself.
In Life:
You need to start doing things on your own little by little because no one's going to look after you forever but yourself. Learn to explore and discover the wonders of being outside of your own comforts.
Don't let yourself be held back with fear. You are not alone. There will always be a higher being that would guide you throughout your life. You might even be surprised with the accomplishments you never thought you would have been able to do.
You see, being on your own isn't so bad after all.
#4. You won't always get what you want
Some teenagers are used to always getting whatever they want because they grew up being spoiled or they have unlimited access to whatever their hearts desire. But in reality, it will never be that way. Most of the time, things don't go as planned.
In College:
It is so much better to not expect so much and to just enjoy the moment while you're at it. You may not have straight A's or the highest GPA of all but you can still learn as much as you can from the people around you, but make sure that you go with the right people who can bring out the best in you.
In Life:
We may never get what we think we need but just remember that there is a higher being with a greater purpose that intends to always give you what is truly right for you.
#3. There's always someone better than you
There is nothing wrong if you are competitive or if you always want to be on top. It can be a good way to motivate yourself but you have to take in consideration that the idea of doing whatever it takes in order to win may not always be the best. If you want to step up your game, make sure that you are not stepping on anybody's feelings just to get what you want.
In College:
There is an abundance of athletic, intelligent and talented people you'll come across with. You may not be running for Cum Laude, you may not be a part of the Varsity Team, you may not know how to sing, dance or play an instrument, you may not be good at drawing. But that shouldn't ever make you feel worthless.
You are good at something. Maybe it isn't so typical, maybe it is kind of weird but you are good at something. May it be doing magic tricks, solving the rubik's cube blindfolded, or even walking on broken glasses. Never be insecure if someone does better than you do because what you can do may not be something they can do. You are special in your own way.
Don't be afraid to compliment others and appreciate their worth. Kindness always bounces back multifolds.
In Life:
You don't always have to keep your eyes on the prize. Winning isn't always everything. Think about it, the medals and trophies you have earned would only serve as a reminder of your glory days but the the lasting relationships you have gained with people you can relive it with is the real treasure in life.
What matters is knowing and accepting that you may never be the best but still doing your best at all times.
#2. Be true to yourself
Don't pretend to be someone you are not. You are not born to please others just so you can feel good about yourself.
In College:
It feels good to know that you belong somewhere but going with the flow does not exactly lead you to where you are suposed to be. It is not so bad to be different. You have your own way of standing out and shining through. Remember that you are at your best when you are true to yourself.
In Life:
It is very important to have your own sense of identity. You can only live life to the fullest if you are more than just acquainted with yourself, having a deep relationship with one's own self would even further maximize your potentials and would definitely bring out the best in you.
#1. Learn to accept failure but never give up
You are human, thus, subject to err but that shouldn't stop you from trying to stand up once you have tripped and fallen down.
In College:
You have to face the facts that you may not always ace your tests, you may be scolded by your professor, you may be the underdog who had always been unappreciated. But life doesn't end there, it is where it begins.
Turn negativity into positivity. Boost your self-esteem. The best revenge of all is to prove your critics wrong.
In Life:
Everybody is flawed. Your imperfections is where you should gain the strength and courage to make up for it. You see, you are capable of learning from your mistakes and throught it you become a better person. It would be a rough and painful road but in the end, you would be grateful for surpassing all of it despite your hesitations and trepidations.
Accepting your flaws and conquering them, that is true wisdom.

National League Division Four South West champions Swindon Shock overcame Barking Abbey in the first of their play-off clashes to reach the quarter-finals.
Shock were hosting their first Men's National game since joining fours years ago, with head coach David Colclough admitting he was unsure what to expect.
"None of us knew what to expect," he said.
"We made the play-offs two years ago but we had to travel to Myerscough and the results were horrific, we just couldn't get our legs going after that journey."
The day did not start out to plan for Shock as the visitors roared to a 27-14 first-quarter lead.
The second quarter saw guard Dominik Sajovic come off the bench with three timely steals to keep Shock in the game, before he suffered a dislocated finger.
Shock were only able to make small inroads into Barking Abbey's lead in the second quarter but the second half of the contest was a different story.
The home side took the third quarter 17-6 leaving Barking Abbey with the narrowest of leads going into the final quarter.
Steals and quick points by Lee Hobbis sealed the fate of the game, ultimately handing Shock their biggest comeback win and first National play-off win 61-55.
"I am so proud of the way these guys fought," Colclough said.
"I had guys like Alistair Tilney getting his first start in sometime and, even though he didn't score much on the court, he was on the bench screaming and losing his voice.
"Even young guard Ollie Swann who played limited minutes provided an opportunity for me to talk to shooting guard Chris Cole and settle him down after being away with his military duties.
"He then goes into the game and hits a couple of three-pointers, so it just worked out really well for us."

— Jim Seimas
Three high school baseball teams in the Santa Cruz Coast Athletic League boast NCAA Division I-caliber aces, and they'll be gunning to unseat San Lorenzo Valley High as champion in what figures to be an exhilarating campaign with league play scheduled to open Tuesday.
"Look around, every team has at least one ace," St. Francis coach Ken Nakagawa said. "On any given day, right? I think you'll see a lot of 2-1 ballgames, a lot of great baseball. Everyone in league has at least one dominant guy."
After graduating SCCAL Player of the Year Tanner Murray to UC Davis and SCCAL Pitcher of the Year Matt Robustelli to Cabrillo College, SLV looks to win its third straight league title. It shared the title with St. Francis two years ago and won it outright last season, finishing ahead of Santa Cruz and Soquel.
If You Go
Tuesday's games
Soquel at St. Francis: 4 p.m., Soquel High*
SLV at Aptos: 4 p.m., Aptos High*
Harbor at Independence: 4 p.m., Independence High, S.J.
San Benito at MVC: 4 p.m., MVC School
Santa Cruz at Scotts Valley: 4:30 p.m., Scotts Valley High*
*League opener
SLV features just 12 players, but it carries 21 on its loaded junior varsity team.
With the exceptions of cleanup hitter and first baseman Mark Carling and staff ace and outfielder Trent Walker, the Cougars will be led by a handful of seniors who patiently bided their time as reserves last year. They include second baseman Zane Saunders, pitcher/third baseman Justin Rudrow, outfielder Tyler Goedeck and catcher Scott MacCool.
Junior outfielder/pitcher Aidan Callahan, No. 3 hitter Vincent Prograce, a sophomore shortstop, and freshman leadoff hitter Aiden Rich, a left-handed pitcher and outfielder, will help pace the Cougars.
"It's nice to get these guys to be able to play," Cougars coach Shane Sutcluffe said. "They are really good kids. I think we'll be able to compete. They're little ballers."
Santa Cruz, a 1-0 loser to eventual champion Valley Christian in the Central Coast Section's Open Division quarterfinals last season, is among the title contenders.
The Cardinals have played just two games heading into their SCCAL opener at Scotts Valley on Tuesday, but plenty of nonleague action awaits them. Coach Dustin Torchio backloaded his schedule with games against section powers knowing that his team would be at full strength after basketball season ended, which it did Saturday for the Cardinals. Heralded pitcher/infielder Javier Felix, a college and pro prospect, and outfielder GJ Hill, already committed to Arizona State, are among four players joining the baseball team late.
Felix and Hill are joined by a trio of fourth-year players: No. 3 hitting shortstop Anthony Karagiannopoulos, catcher and cleanup hitter Adrian Flores and first baseman Nick Bariliati. Senior utility player Ricky Parra will again be instrumental, as will junior left-handed pitcher Clayton Ray and junior outfielder and leadoff hitter Alex Williams. Junior RHP Jack Koski and sophomore RHP Brady Chavez help bolster a deep pitching staff.
"I think out kids are confident," Torchio said. "I think for the first time in a couple years, they're going into every game believing they should win."
Aptos is also feeling confident, and for good reason. RHP and third baseman David Reckers, who is committed to Cal State Bakersfield, and fellow senior Forrest Hays, an outfielder/pitcher, lead the way.
Senior catcher/second baseman Will Murphy is back and so is Curtis McMullen, a shortstop/pitcher. The Mariners also feature junior infielder/pitcher David Eichhorn, a transfer from Monte Vista Christian who becomes eligible April 12, and a plethora of young talent. A trio of sophomores — outfielder Jack Bollinger, infielder/pitcher Jacob Mendoza and infielder Trey Lee — have made their way into the starting lineup.
"All three sophomores are really good baseball players," said Mariners coach Jason Biancardi, who has added former MLB pitcher Mark Eichhorn to his coaching staff. "With our arms and seeing us play better baseball every game, I think we'll contend."
St. Francis, which lost in the CCS Division II semifinals last season to eventual champion Menlo, will be in the mix. The team returns eight players on its roster of 15.
Leading the way for the Sharks is Chase Watkins, a 6-5 left-handed pitcher/first baseman/outfielder who has committed to Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo.
The Sharks will also rely on the leadership of four other seniors: corner infielder Josh Kovacs, outfielder and leadoff hitter Brandon Moakler, catcher and cleanup hitter Derric Estrada-Haro, and shortstop David Talavera.
Junior outfielder CJ Gomez and infielder Felipe Padia-Noriega will also bolster the pitching staff, which features Estrada-Haro as closer.
The addition of three transfers — outfielder Josiah Granados-Diaz (Soquel), infielder/outfielder Julian Mendoza (MVC) and pitcher/outfielder Domenic Cordova (Saint Francis-Mountain View) — will provide a potent boost after they become eligible.
"I think we're pretty athletic as far as our lineup is concerned," Nakagawa said. "We have a lot more team speed than in years past. We throw a lot of strikes and I think we catch well this year."
After a slow start, Soquel has shown signs of life as the SCCAL opener looms.
While the Knights are without senior catcher Nolan Maas (hand) for the season, senior Nate Zeise has returned to fill the role after taking last season off.
Zeise handles some talented pitchers in left-handers Nate Werdmuller and Ryan Murtha and righties Miguel Del Real and Kyle King.
"I feel a lot better than I did," returning coach Robert Zuniga said. "We've been pleasantly surprised with guys stepping up, guys like Zeise. We're going to compete."
Look for Jackson Dudek, Murtha, Zeise and Del Real to be among the top hitters for Soquel. The Knights feature talented sophomore shortstop Kevin Ito batting leadoff and have been playing Nate Maas and Andrew Raynal, both freshmen. Dudek shined last week in his season debut after being cleared from a concussion.
Scotts Valley may have a young squad, but first-year coach Adrian DeMar isn't ruling out his team.
The Falcons start five sophomores: shortstop Bryce Gundersen, catcher Connor Schelstraete, center fielder Brody Affolter, second baseman Shane Burns and Bryce Clark, a corner infielder and pitcher.
Philip Garrison, a junior outfielder, will bat leadoff. Ryan Bariteau, the Falcons' No. 3 hitter, also plays either first or third base when he's not on the mound. Senior first baseman Carson Spence bats cleanup.
Senior Joe Murray, who shut out Archbishop Mitty for five innings in nonleague play, heads the pitching staff and also plays outfield.
Junior Noah Daniels is another pitching option for the Falcons.
"We're a dark horse, being so young," DeMar said, "But we have great talent. I walked into a great situation. Our team's going to be fun to watch."
Harbor (3-3) played more nonleague games (six) prior to the start of league than any other SCCAL team.
The Pirates, under veteran coach Joseph Allegri, feature five seniors, two juniors and one freshman on a sophomore-laded team.
Right-hander Anthony Azevedo and fellow senior Bailey Schantz, a catcher, lead the way. Sophomore corner infielder Jacob Shipley and sophomore shortstop Brendan Bobo will also factor into the Pirates' success.
"It should be a fun season, they're very cohesive," Allegri said.
Gabilan Division >> MVC is without the services of 6-10 left-handed pitcher/first baseman Lucas Schmidt, who opted not to play this season to focus on playing basketball next year at University of North Dakota. But second-year coach Case Rigby still has a pitching staff capable of keeping the Mustangs competitive in the Monterey Bay League Gabilan Division.
Junior lefty Ian Koenig returns and is joined by senior righty Jacob Beardsley, junior righties Marshall Silva and Thomas Avila and sophomore Tyler Keenan. Junior Matthew Sanders, recovering from a hamstring injury, should rejoin the team in a few weeks.
Koenig, also an infielder, will be a regular in the lineup as will returning utility player Garret Laine, the team's cleanup hitter and biggest offensive threat.
The Mustangs, winless through their first three MBL-G games, will also add depth with the return of utility player Cody Paresa (hand) and Abe Cohen (flu) this month.
San Benito and Monterey have gotten off the fast starts in league. Palma, Gilroy, Salinas and Christopher round out the league.
"It'll be a dogfight," Rigby said.
Pacific Division >> Watsonville was in the title hunt last year and should be again. First-year Wildcatz coach Leroy Dozal has eight returners on his roster of 14, including senior right-handed pitcher Gio Gonzalez, voted by coaches the Most Valuable Pitcher in the MBL Pacific last season.
Junior Max Ramirez IV, also a member of the school's golf team, will help the starting rotation and play shortstop when he's not on the mound. Junior right-hander Jeremy Diaz is also key to the pitching staff.
"We're rich in pitching, which carried the team last year," said Dozal, who also listed athleticism and defense as team strengths.
In addition to Gonzalez, a leadoff hitter and utility player, the lineup features senior third baseman Ryan Rivera in the No. 3 spot and senior first baseman Jason Garza at cleanup. Sophomore middle infielder Nick Gonzales also helps the cause.
Third-year Pajaro Valley coach Matt Manfre returns seven players to his roster of 17. The Grizzlies aren't fielding a JV team.
Senior Davian Quintana, a pitcher/infielder, is back as are third-year players Angel Chavez, a senior, and juniors John Ramos and Rocky Ramirez. Chavez will play third and outfield and bat cleanup, Ramos is a left-handed pitcher and first baseman, and Ramirez will handle catching among his many roles.
Junior second baseman Eddie Renteria and freshmen Jared Martinez and Derek Quintana will help the Grizzlies try to snap a 131-game losing streak in league that dates back to 2010.
Manfre can see the team improving each game and said it is far more competitive than years passed.
"Leaps and bounds," he said. "Whether or not we're able to get it done to really, really compete, we'll see. We're competitive late in games rather than the first inning or two. Now, we have to find a way to get it done."
Defending champion Alisal remains in the MBL-P, which is also filled out by Alvarez, North Monterey County, Seaside and North Salinas.

30 Oreo cookies
7 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup whole milk, divided
4 large egg yolks
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
8 oz white chocolate, finely chopped
4 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, at room temperature
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
12 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped
To make the crust: Add the Oreos to the bowl of your food processor and pulse a few times until coarsely chopped. Cut the butter into several pieces and add to the food processor. Pulse until the cookies are finely ground and the butter has been incorporated (the mixture should resemble wet sand). Transfer the mixture to a 9-inch springform pan and press into an even layer on the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Chill in your refrigerator until set for at least 1 hour, or up to 2 days.
To make the filling: Add 3/4 cup of the milk to a medium saucepan and set over medium heat. Bring to a simmer. In the meantime, in a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, flour, and remaining 1/4 cup milk. When the milk is hot, slowly add it to the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly. Pour back into the saucepan and set over medium heat. Cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture is very thick and glossy, about 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and add the white chocolate. Whisk until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a heatproof bowl then press a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface (this will prevent a skin from forming) and refrigerate until set, at least 1 hour or up to 2 days.
To assemble the cheesecake: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and salt. Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add the pudding, and mix on low speed just until combined. Add 1/4 of the filling to the crust, then sprinkle with about 1/3 of the chopped Oreos. Repeat two more times with filling and Oreos, then top with the remaining filling. Chill the cheesecake in your refrigerator for at least 6 hours, or until set. Remove the sides of the pan and slice to serve.
The cheesecake can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.

Cabin at Trapper City: Trapper City is the site of the earliest town site in the Hecla mining district when silver was initially discovered there in 1872.
The earliest ore shipments were hauled by ox-team to the Central Pacific RR in Corrine Utah, then by rail to San Francisco, and loaded into boats for shipment to smelters in Swansea, Wales. Early assays showed 140 ounces of silver per ton ore, and 30-60% lead. More than $15 million in silver and lead was mined from the Hecla district between 1873 and 1912.
At it's peak, 5000 people lived and worked the areas of Hecla, Glendale, Vipond, and the Highlands. Glendale, once a community of 1000, was the site of a 40 ton lead smelter 10 miles down the valley, and was once entered in the race to be the state capital.
Today, only the decaying buildings of a ghost town remain. Copyright 1996.

RAK real estate sector grows 45% in four years
In the five years to 2015, the size of the Ras Al Khaimah (RAK) real estate sector, in the Middle East, grew by almost half from AED3.401billion to AED4.947billion.
The RAK real estate sector ranked third after the industrial and tourism sectors in its contribution to the total capital formation of the emirate, according to a study by Ras Al Khaimah Chamber of Commerce.
It contributed 13.3% or AED1.209billion dirhams, of the AED9.081billion total capital formation. As a result, the number of real estate businesses grew 14.7% in from 9,844 in 2014 to 11,294 in 2015.
The RAK Chamber aims to help attract, regulate and assist real estate investors. It provides commercial, economic and legal services, statistical data, and information says Dr Ahmed Rashed Al Shemaili, Assistant Director-General of Commercial Service and Business Development Sector.
Ras Al Khaimah is successful and prosperous and its potential has not been fully exploited and the governmental aim eliminate all obstacles that the investors face.
Rajaa Mohammed bin Juma Al Tunaiji, Head of the Economic Studies & Commercial Cooperation Department at RAK Chamber, says the real estate sector is vital to the growth of the Emirate's economy. The real estate sector's contribution to GDP from 2011-15 increased 2.5% from 14.9% to 17.4%.

Health & Wellbeing
Liber8's community based Health and Lesuire Faciility in Viewpark http://liber8.fitness/ provides one route for Liber8 to help individuals aim to live longer more healthy lives, by reducing preventable deaths and the burden of ill-health associated with smoking, alcohol & substance misuse, high blood pressure, obesity, poor diet, poor mental health, insufficient exercise. We recognise that there are several different ways of thinking about health and wellbeing, some positive and some negative.
- Health and well-being can be described as the achievement and maintenance of physical fitness and mental stability. This is a positive definition of health and well-being.
- Health and well-being as being the result of a combination of physical, social, intellectual and emotional factors. This is a holistic definition of wellbeing.
- Health and well-being can be described as the absence of physical illness, disease and mental distress. This is a negative definition of health and well-being
However we must be aware that the ideas about health and wellbeing change over time and vary between different cultures and life stages.
Health & Wellbeing- Factors
A person's health and well being is affected by a number of different factors. We should all know about factors that contribute positvely to health and well-being such as:
- a balanced diet (e.g.improved immunity, feeling healthy controlling weight)
- adequate rest and sleep (e.g. improved concentration, refreshes body, restores energy)
- regular excercise (e.g. improved fitness, weight control, circulation, mobility)
- supportive relationships (e.g. friends, family, professionals, improved self esteem, self worth)
- adequate financial resources (e.g.social security benefits, free prescriptions, free dinners,pension, mobility allowance)
- stimulating work, education and leisure activitiy (e.g.improve mental ability, valued)
Health & Wellbeing-Risks
There are very few conditions are caused by genes alone. Most conditions are caused by a combination of genes and the environment, including lifestyle factors (such as diet and exercise) and socio – economic factors (such as where someone lives and their income).There are many gene variations that may slightly increase or decrease the risk for a condition. However, across a number of genes this can add up to some individuals being at more risk than the average. The risk may be reduced by changing environmental and lifestyle factors.
Genes make it more likely that an individual may develop certain conditions but the likelihood is also closely linked to lifestyle factors. They are linked because a particular gene may be sensitive to an environmental factor. For example:
- Coronary heart disease can run in families, in conjunction with a poor diet, smoking and lack of exercise the risk of developing the condition is increased.
- Smoking cigarettes increases the risk of still births, miscarriage and premature birth.
Advances in medical care means that those individuals with health problems are able to live longer. This creates problems for the healthcare services to provide care and being able to afford the extended care.
Factors we can't control
- Environmental - pollution of air and water
- Social – availability of adequate housing
- Economic – income
- Genetic – diseases and disorders
Factors we can control
- Lifestyle
- Use of tobacco
- Consumption of alcohol
- Overeating
- Amount of exercise
- Eating fatty foods
Liber8 Health & Wellbeing
In 2011 Liber8 formally took over the Viewpark Sports and Fitness Centre, renaming it Liber8 Health & Leisure. This was part of our expansion plan of providing more services to our clients and broadening the services available through Liber8.
The transference of the centre fits well with Liber8's expansion into North Lanarkshire and those of you who use the centre will have started to notice the changes taking effect, the builders have been in and the renovations have started already.
Our aim is to increase our membership and provide a wide range of services aimed at improving the health and wellbeing of individuals, families and the wider community. However it is important that we retain the community ethos and this is shown through the development of a strong relationship with Viewpark Amateur Boxing Club who continues to operate from the centre.
There have been lots of development and refurbishment of the centre in the last two years, but this is only the start; we have many more developments planned which will enhance the facility, increase employment opportunities and improve the services provided. Liber8 believe that this latest acquisition to our organisation will allow us to be able to offer an excellent and additional project which will complement our existing projects and will offer individuals and communities a valuable resource.

Learning about inputs and output devices that can be connected to Arduino.
Explored with various devices such as servo motors, sensors and speakers and then using the appropriate software in Arduino to program them.
There is Digital Input and output, Analogue Input and Output, Serial Output, Simple inputs. Sensors for touch: Force sensitive resisters, is a pad that depending on what pressure is put onto it, it will activate with chosen task, example is a light dimmer. Stretch sensors are sensors that reaction piezo sensor, flex sensor. A Piezo sensor measures changes in pressure, acceleration, temperature, strain and force.

the penultimate WORD
Series 2007 -
The Irvine Tartan • My monthly column in The New Brunswick Anglican
You will be my witnesses beginning here..."
Jesus, Acts 1:8
Good-byes are seldom pleasant. For all of our good-byes we never seem to be fully prepared for the loss. My good-byes have been remarkably like parting episodes in countless lives in every generation. Jesus' parting words carried with them the same weight we have borne in those partings in our lives. For all of that, he is close to us even as he prepares to leave, knowing that we each know the feeling of such loss.
As a young boy I remember well seeing my Uncle and Aunt off at Union Station in Saint John as they boarded the overnight train to Montreal. Their visit over, my Dad and I would walk them to the station platform and see them to their car. For the length of their visit, these last minutes seemed especially valued, as important parting words were exchanged. Following them like shadows on the platform, we saw them settled into their seats. They would wave, and we would wave. Kisses would be blown as two brothers parted company again, and a final wave exchanged as the steam locomotive lurched the car into motion and the train slowly headed west.
I remember the echo of the Union Station, the high vaulted ceiling, the heavy oak benches imposed like over-sized pews on a smooth stone floor. Foot steps blended with the Station Master's voice on the public address system. Glass doors framed in oak and guarded by polished brass fittings opened out into a parking lot and we were able to see the trailing lights of the Park Car disappear out of sight.
Driving home I talked excitedly about their visit as I tried to rub my Aunt's bright red lipstick off my cheek. My Dad proffered his handkerchief for this vain effort and he talked about his brother and would tell me stories of when he and his brother grew up on Metcalf Street.
We were bearing witness – to each other and beginning there, and then.
Witnessing is like that. And witnessing is something that Jesus expected his disciples would do.
As witnesses, we are implicated in the events surrounding us and burdened with their corresponding memories. We can testify to details, elect to affect change, bear witness to events, or remain passive in our response.
Often we have remained passive, or else we have been annoyingly enthusiastic in our effusion. Sometimes our witness is misplaced and for all of our testimony no details are shared and no positive change is encouraged.
Recently I received an e-mail that bore such a witness. The details aren't important. Suffice it to say that the e-mail that arrived in my Inbox featured a couple of Priests and a Sister and the spirit of the communication was salacious. It was supposed to be funny. I have to say that I enjoy a laugh as much as the next person... but when I re-read the letter I found a clue as to why pews are more empty than full in all of our churches. Slander that gets a chuckle seems to get approval as long as it is at the expense of religious.
The joke confirms my position that the only thing worse than clericalism is anti-clericalism.
If the joke was aimed at the Church Warden, a Vestry Member or a Layreader, or the Parish Treasurer or the Sunday School Superintendent we would take offence because we can all identify with these roles in the faith community. The all-too-familiar humour had less to do with vacations in the sun and topless beaches and libidinal urges than the perversity of misrepresentation. Its promotion only serves to empty pews and communion rails.
Regardless, we become part of a larger whole, a community of disparate perspectives that simultaneously see and become seen. Community can be the warmly persuasive word to describe an existing set of relationships, or the warmly persuasive word to describe an alternative set of relationships. What is most important, perhaps, is that unlike all other terms of social organization… it never seems to be used unfavourably, and never to be given any positive opposing or distinguished term.
Jesus addressed his followers as a community and he expected them to bear such a witness in their lives that would serve to attract and encourage others to enter community. He expects no less of us. The character of that community remains open for every generation. Whether we are closed or open, exclusive or inviting, is measured in large part by the witness we bear, beginning where we are. And now.

Verimark bets on 'best Xmas'
• Interims take a dent from addition of new products, but retailer confident they will pay off in festive demand
Verimark – the company behind Bauer pans and Shogun knife sets — is betting on its "best Christmas ever" after introducing a raft of new products.
Verimark – the company behind Bauer pans and Shogun knifesets — is betting on its "best Christmas ever" after introducing a raft of new products.
Despite desperate times for South African consumers, CEO Mike van Straaten said he was "very excited" about Verimark's monthly sales after the results.
"The growth we're showing in retail partners is substantially higher than those of our partners," he said.
The CEO, whose rapid-fire patter sounds part sales talk, part racehorse commentary, said: "I don't want to oversell it [but] I'm personally optimistic that it will be one of our best Christmases ever."
Releasing interim results on Thursday, Verimark grew revenue from continuing operations by 13.7% to R209.7m.
A big jump in new products — almost 86% up on the previous period — meant a similarly large increase in advertising spend, which contributed to a slide of almost 44% in pretax profit to R2.2m.
"We had a lot more new products tested — so you load your costs – and sales kick in after two to three months, which will benefit the business in the months ahead," he said.
Among what Van Straaten hopes will be a "home run" — industry talk for a big winner — is an addition to the ubiquitous Bauer cookware range, whose prices shot up after the rand's collapse in 2015.
Now the company had brought in a R199 pan, and Van Straaten said "we can't keep up with demand".
In the direct retail industry, a "big-hitter" is vital and can mean billions of sales for similar companies in massive markets such as the US. But in much smaller SA, Van Straaten said a company like Verimark needed "a home run every two to three months".
As for the rand, Verimark takes some forward cover.
"We do hedge but it is a gamble either way: [for example] if you take all forward cover and the rand does improve….
"What we do is probably go halfway – but [we are] not totally unhedged because that would be too dangerous."
Part of Verimark's strategy to buffer itself against the rand's volatility is the local manufacture of some products, which Van Straaten said would be ready in "early 2018".
The company is also working on selling Verimark products abroad but still has little to show for its international expansion plans in the results.
It says that sales will manifest only in about 18 months.
Van Straaten, who once tried to buy out minorities back in 2009 and who still owns 49.1% of the shares, said Verimark remained intent on being listed, despite the cost.
"I do believe it is still viable for us to be [on the JSE].
"If I look at the net asset value against the share price, it is totally disproportionate. There's a lot more value in Verimark, but we need to show a consistent performance," he said.
Verimark's share price fell 3.53% on Thursday to close at 82c. In the year to date, however, it has gained 91%.

Tillandsia Bulbosa Belize
Tillandsia Bulbosa Belize
Tillandsias, also known as "air plants", are amazing plants that do not require soil to grow. Most tillandsias are found in semi-tropical regions of Central and South America, Mexico and the southern part of the United States. They absorb water and nutrients through their leaves and the roots are simply anchors.
The Bulbosa Belize are even more impressive when they bloom! They have bright green, waxy leaves and wonderful pink, red and purple bloom colors.
Tillandsias are stunning as standalone pieces and are ideal for living art creations such as aeriums, mounts, and even floral arrangements. With proper care, they can last for years and some may even bloom.
Tillandsia care instructions included with plant.
Width: 4 - 6 inches

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Choosing to join the photographic world is a noble and exciting pursuit. In the following article you will observe how big the world is and how a variety of skills you will find to discover. The fact that photography could be a very personal thing will make it seem a bit impossible to locate what will work for you. These tips will give you plenty of helpful suggestions. lightning bolt
Be selective regarding the elements that you simply include in your photo. Go on and remove everything from the image that doesn't belong there or definitely makes the frame seem unbalanced. Use panning shots that maintain your subject in focus but blur the backdrop should you can't remove all unwanted distractions out of your shot.
Focus on natural lighting. You may need to apply your flash feature or install additional sources of light, but you can use natural lighting to create interesting effects with light and shadow. Position your subject accordingly. Ensure the photograph is just not too dark or too bright.
Get professional equipment in case you are seriously interested in photography. Locate a high-end camera using a dSLR feature. This lets you get yourself a better concept of the frame of the picture. Everything you preview actually appears to be the image you take. With a decent sensor, you should be able to take much better pictures.
To be able to make the best and clearest photographs, you may use a tripod. A tripod allows you to stabilize the digital camera, which means that your photos have been in better focus. This is particularly important if you work with an increased-zoom lens or shooting through the night, since small variations in the camera's position can result in major blurring.
An effective photography tip is always to not get too carried away with getting the best and newest equipment. Technology's always going to be improving and unless you're a millionaire, it's just not realistic to be concerned about obtaining the best camera. Attempt to make good usage of whatever you have.
A good photography tip is don't get carried away with obtaining the newest and best equipment. Technology is obviously improving and unless you're a millionaire, it's just not realistic to be concerned about having the newest equipment. Make good usage of what you have.
If you are planning to consider photos in a new country go straight to the postcard rack. Postcards can help you gain new ideas of your scenery that is unique towards the country you are in. Utilize these photos as suggestions for the spots that you would like to check out.
Many times in daily life, we obtain the training that things must be centered and even. You possibly can make your pictures look original by placing your main subject slightly in one side, rather than right in the heart of your picture. Some cameras automatically focus on whatever appears in the midst of the industry of view disable such features to be able to remove-center pictures. Use manual focus after which lock before clicking your photo.
Learn how to use the ISO setting on your camera. This is the setting that determines the film speed. The greater you set your ISO, the more light that will be. If you improve the ISO in dark settings you will capture more light making the photo end up better.
Be sure to frame your shots. Nothing like a picture frame, but some thing natural that focuses the eye. Give consideration, and you may likely create a "natural frame" for the subject of your picture with neighboring elements. It is really an ideal method to use if you want to rehearse obtaining a photo's composition right.
When you need to photograph something look everywhere. Even when you are strongly interested by an item you can definitely find something more original right behind you. Think about an environment or perhaps an effect that you might want rather than an object you will develop your picture around.
To test out photography, be sure you mess around with shutter speeds. A slower speed means the shutter is open longer and might capture motion. Photos of your waterfall using a slow shutter speed would make the liquid appear like one continuous motion. Faster shutter speeds capture action and so are frequently used in sports photography. A photo of your waterfall within this example would show every drop water clearly.
Leave yourself some "Lead Room" or "Active Space" while confronting subjects that relocate your shots. This is only basically some empty space either in front of the subject or behind the topic. As a result for a less-cluttered and much more pleasing action shot to the viewer to think about.
Have you been itching to shoot some dewy, rain-spattered subjects? Try and produce the effect of rain on your own by carrying a rain bottle with you.
Enjoy the shadow of your respective object. Every time a shadow is projected with a distorted surface it adopts interesting shapes. You can even come with an original shadow become the main topic of your photograph. Arrange the lighting and the background to create shadows change and adopt a shape you want to deal with.
Decide what you would like away from a camera before you decide to put money into one. Decide if you want film, or if an electronic camera will better meet your requirements. You should also decide what features you may like to have. Know if you want a point and shoot type, or possibly a more difficult manual focus type.
Take advantage of the sun light that shines using a window to light your photos. This light is soft and diffused after it passes throughout the window pane and will develop a beautiful light in your subject. Place your subject directly in the light of your window and you will probably be rather pleased with the outcomes.
Try not use your camera's red-eye reduction. This normally does a pre-flash that shrink's the subject's pupils to lessen the reflection. While this works, in addition, it provides the person a warning and might either cause them to flinch if the actual photo is being taken or they'll pose more for the photo. You're more well off using computer image editing software to edit out the red-eye later.
Hopefully, the tips that were provided gave you some pointers that will help you to further improve your photography skills. Now you tend to be more prepared. Eventually, you'll be shooting like a pro!

December 24, 2013, Toronto, Canada – GC-Global Capital Corp. (GDE.A:TSXV) ("Global Capital") is pleased to announce that at its recent Special Shareholders meeting, it received shareholder approval to spin-out its wholly-owned subsidiary, GC Marathon Financial Corp. ("GC Marathon"), a real estate investment company, in the form of a return of capital share distribution to Global Capital's shareholders. The core investment of GC Marathon Corp. is its shareholdings of Marathon Mortgage Corporation ("MMC"). The shares of GC Marathon will be distributed to Global Capital's shareholders through a reduction of paid up capital.
The spin-out is intended to give Global Capital shareholders a direct interest in GC Marathon's Canadian real estate market focused investments. The current core investment is Marathon Mortgage Corporation a residential mortgage origination, sales and servicing business. Today, Global owns 25% of MMC. MMC brings together the former management team of First Marathon Mortgage Corp. which at the time of its sale in 2002 was servicing approximately $4 Billion in mortgages. Marathon's management team and business operations are in place and ready to ramp up operations. Through the MMC management team's alliances with major financial institutions and mortgage brokerage firms, MMC's goal is to become one of the most reliable residential and commercial mortgage lenders in Canada, providing competitive mortgage products, competitive mortgage interest rates, competitive mortgage terms and reliable service through quick turnaround service to its borrowers and broker partners. MMC will underwrite prime-insured and conventional residential and commercial mortgages that will be sold to mortgage investors, such as banks or trust companies, co-operatives, securities firms and insurance companies. MMC expects to retain the majority of servicing for these mortgages. In February, 2013, MMC received its CMHC (Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation) lenders status as well as completed servicing agreements with two major Canadian financial institutions. In April, 2013 MMC received its Genworth Canada (Genworth Financial Mortgage Insurance Company Canada) lenders status. Similar to CMHC (Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation), Genworth Canada provides mortgage default insurance to residential mortgage lenders for low down payment mortgages on one-to-four unit residential properties.
As part of the process of the spin-out transaction, GC Marathon intends to file a prospectus in Ontario to qualify the secondary distribution by Global Capital to its shareholders of all of the outstanding shares of GC Marathon Corp. Following the approval of the prospectus, GC Marathon intends to seek a public listing of its shares.

ADA Cosmetics International, the guest amenities manufacturer, has announced the acquisition of Denmark's leading provider of hotel cosmetics and dispenser systems, Scandinavian Amenities A/S.
The company hopes the move will allow the established German manufacturer to capitalise on the growth potential in the Scandinavian market.
Founded in 1979 in Kehl, Germany, ADA, a long-established company, is the market leader in central and southern Europe and certain areas of Eastern Europe. Since 2007, the company also has expanded its activities to the Near East and Asia.
The acquisition of Scanamenities now has laid the foundation for extending its geographical presence in northern Europe. The new subsidiary will be integrated in the ADA Group while the Scanamenities brand as well as its successful portfolio will be incorporated in the current product offering.
Scanamenities, headquartered in Hvidovre/Copenhagen (Denmark), is Scandinavia's leading provider of hotel cosmetics and, in particular, of dispenser systems for hotels. Since 1986, the company has been supplying products to the hotel industry, airlines, cruise ships and vacation resorts.
Within Scandinavia, Scanamenities boasts a well established customer base, with well-known corporations like Nordic Choice Hotels, First Hotels and Thon Hotels.
"This investment lays important groundwork for us to gain a foothold in Scandinavia. We will, however, also harness the expertise of our new subsidiary as well as the sales and marketing synergies to further our expansion in the new markets," states Wilhelm Könning, CEO of the ADA Group.

Visit switch.pcu.com.au for more details or call 131 PCU (131 728). Higher land prices have been the principal contributor to rapidly increasing housing prices in unaffordable markets like the major Australian cities. These land prices include the increasing influence of land supply restrictions (such as urban growth boundaries), excessive infrastructure fees and other overly strict land use regulations. As a result, by some estimates and due to overvaluation, households in Sydney and Melbourne can expect to pay a premium of more than $750,000 in mortgage principal and interest payments (at current mortgage rates) relative to what they would have paid had housing values been more affordable. This money could otherwise have gone to consumption or financing other productive assets and helped job creation. In Australia, between 1993 and 2006, 95 per cent of the increase in inflation adjusted new house (and land) costs were attributable to land, rather than construction. Where to from here for residential property prices? Given Australia has one of the most expensive residential property markets in the English speaking world with all major cities categorised as 'severely unaffordable', we lack conviction in the prospects for material real rate of returns in the foreseeable future. However, as more people compete for limited housing stock, the above trend population growth and the short supply of residential property will together continue to support the overvaluations in major Australian cities. Therefore, in light of the benign outlook for financial returns from the residential property front, investors are more likely to achieve better returns in the Australian share market. Share valuations are below their long–term average and the outlook for dividend growth is healthy (note: any fall-out on world markets triggered by recent natural disasters has not been reflected in this article).
