Furness "Crusaders"
We meet every Sunday morning throughout the Rugby Union Season, commencing at 1030 am until 12 noon, with refreshments available for players and family members.
And finally, a note to say that if we think that a session on a Sunday may be cancelled, due to to pitch, or weather conditions, members should check the Furness Rugby Facebook group. (Parents Only) I will post a message on that before 09.45 am on the morning to say why it is cancelled, if it is to be.
Peter Helme is heading the volunteers and he can be emailed at email@example.com he would be very interested in any parents or volunteers thoughts as to how we can progress and which age group would be most interested in being involved in the resurgence of the junior squad.

Do you remember the days when you called a business and actually talked to someone instead of a recording? I can still remember them vividly. Oh what a joy to be able to actually talk to a live person. Oh I know I am getting old and bucking against the advancement of society. I suppose my kids will do the same at some point when they get older and begin to scoff at the latest inventions. Anyhow they have to wait because it is my time to speak.
I am always blown away by how we continue to advance in communication and ways in which we communicate. Think about e-mail and it's ability to communicate and send information all around the World in a matter of seconds, it is amazing. When I first started using e-mail my first thought was how this could be a blessing to missionaries in sending and receiving information. Of course we have advanced well beyond email now. We can instant message and even facebook with old friends that we have not spoken to in years.
I suppose this is where I want to begin. As much as I am amazed by our advancements within technology and especially in the area of communication, I am finding that our communication even though it is more it has actually become less. No longer do we sit down to talk to someone in person. We might IM them or send them a e-mail to save ourselves some time, but personal touch has disappeared. I find it funny that many times we will not say a word to people at church but will bare our soul to the world wide web. I understand the reasoning behind this. It is very easy to hide behind a keyboard. But I believe that "facebook Christianity" is really damaging to us spiritually.
In a day and age where the World seems more and more disoriented and broken the one thing we do not need is the ability to hide. Now hopefully you hear me. I am not opposed to such things as facebook or blogging or the Internet in general. Actually I am excited about them. Yet I am convinced that as a church we must have personal contact to make an impact for the Lord. People do not need a recording of how to find Jesus they need to see Jesus in us. Ministry will only be effective as we place our touch on people's lives. As I once told a friend, "please call me when you want to talk rather than e-mail."
Just as pornography is a cheap imitation of the real thing that God has meant for good, I believe that our new ways of communication can be cheap imitations for something that can be a whole lot better. Next time you have something important to say to someone let me encourage you to call them rather than e-mail or even better yet go and share a cup of coffee with them. If your concern is time just think of how much time you would save by not sending them all that forwarded garbage you send. And anyways doesn't it say a lot more when someone cares enough to actually speak to you in person. Yes the World is advancing. And I am sure that automated voices will solve many of our problems, but oh how I yearn to hear a real voice from time to time.

Little Mountain Trail is a 3.4 mile moderately trafficked out and back trail located near Salt Lake City, Utah that features beautiful wild flowers and is good for all skill levels. The trail offers a number of activity options and is best used from January until January.

nature trips
trail running
wild flowers
no dogs
It was an okay hike. not very scenic. lots of scrub oak. good view of the lake when you get near the top of the hill.
Nice little hike. Quick exercise.
I love this little trail. Very underrated. I usually don't see anyone else on it. Views of Little dell and the wasatch. Watch out for moose though.
This hiking trail, near Salt Lake City, has historical significance as far as the settling of the Salt Lake Valley and the Mormon Pioneer Trail is concerned. This was actually not one of my favorite trails, but may be more scenic in better weather or in the summertime. Video of trail experience: https://youtu.be/0HgYstKvNcc
You have to bushwack to reach the true summit.
No dogs! would great to add that tag for search filters.
Pretty easy walk. Fair amount to see. I'm torn between 3 and 4 stars, so I'd give it a 3.5 if I could. Near the end it's tough to tell where the trail should end, so we climbed up the steep hill just to the west and got a better view, then descended back south from the top of the hill.
This trail was a bit boring and I never found an end to it. I hiked in 2 miles and decided to turn around because I didn't know where the trail headed. On the way back out I realized that I was probably supposed to go off trail up the "mountain", but I have been taught that you are supposed to stay on the main trail as to not disturb the eco systems around you. The mountain (really more of a hill) was off trail, which the description should state. The main trail goes on for who knows how far. There was a pretty nice view about a mile in, but otherwise it wasn't that exciting.
Fun little jaunt. I jogged up past little mountain to the saddle where you can drop down to Killyons. If you want to stand on top of Little Mountain, the trail up is at the S end of the summit ridge.

Desert style landscaping is becoming trendy throughout the United States, because it's considered more environmentally friendly. It also requires less maintenance and less watering while still providing your home with a pleasant, natural surrounding. Desert style landscaping starts with selecting hardy plants that are native to the climate you're planting in. By selecting native plants for your area, it's not uncommon to have an entire landscaped yard that doesn't need supplemental irrigation, fertilizer or pest control.
Desert Annuals
Desert mallow, California poppy, salvia and verbena are just a few of the colorful little annuals that can be grown in a desert style landscape. Whether you scatter them around an area to create a wildflower garden or field, or plant them in border beds for color and emphasis, they'll grow and bloom beautiful flowers with little to no watering or care.
California poppy flowers tend to be bright orange on a plant that grows just 12 to 18 inches tall. Desert mallow tends to produce buttercup shaped blooms in an apricot color, and the plants grow 2 1/2 to 3 feet tall. Salvia comes in a multiple colors including red, pink and purple and will get 12 to 18 inches tall as well. Verbena is a nice trailing plant choice for the flower bed edging, and it produces round circular clumps of tiny flowers in purple or lavender.
Native Grasses
Standard turf grass has such a high water requirement that it can be difficult to keep up with. A variety of native grasses are a better option for desert style landscaping, including Bermuda, bahaia and zoysia grass because they're drought and heat tolerant. This naturally helps them grow more slowly, so there's less maintenance needed for trimming and mowing in addition to less water needs as well.
If a grassy yard is not important in your landscaping plans, consider planting a few patches of ornamental grasses instead. Ornamental grasses such as the feather reed and prairie dropseed can be quite showy, adding additional texture and color to your landscape.
Shrubs and Trees
Desert style shrubs and trees provide you with a very large variety of plants to choose from. Basic cactus and succulent plants such as aloe vera can fill in small places, or grow large enough to become focal points in your landscape design. Many cactus plants such as the prickly pear cactus produce unusual looking colorful flowers and edible fruit.
Desert friendly trees can grow quite tall and provide an excellent, wide spread shade canopy too. The mesquite tree, for example, grows quickly to 25 feet in height and spreads out 25 feet as well, creating a natural shade for your home and patio as well as a natural habitat for other desert friendly landscape plants.

Hi I am Andrew Try. I have been starting and building businesses for as long as I can remember. I come from an entrepreneurial family with a long history in Windsor. My grandfather started Windsorian Coaches in 1918 when he was a teenager. It was one of the first coach companies in Britain and he built it to be one of the most famous brands in transport, he was even awarded the Royal Warrent by the Queen as Luxury Coach Operator.
He sold the business in the late 1950's and took up gardening on a grand scale at his house on St Leonards Hill Windsor. He won prizes at Chelsea Flower Show for his Camellias.
Much of what he did inspired me and you will see from my blogs that I have interests in Windsor, gardening, St Leonards Hill, Shakespeare, having fun and of course creating businesses.

Former New Orleans VooDoo football player Lorenzo Breland seeks payment of more than $75,000 to cover medical costs related to a concussion in 2014 that ended his playing career, according to a suit filed June 22.
- and -
NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune
Breland, 30, said in a suit filed in New Orleans' U.S. District Court the VooDoo refused to pay medical bills related to "a severe blow to the head causing a concussion" in the third game of the 2014 season. The VooDoo and the Arena Football League are listed as defendants.
The Picayune, Miss., native said the team urged him to return to play as quickly as possible, according to the suit. But when he told a coach he was not healthy enough to play, the team put Breland on the inactive roster, which cut his salary by almost two-thirds.
The team later asked Breland, who was a captain and with the VooDoo for three years, to take an exit physical, the suit said. When asked why he needed an exit physical, he was suspended from the league.
Breland hasn't heard from VooDoo or the league since being released by the team in June 2014, he said.
"I stayed in the hospital that night, and I was released (from the hospital) at about two in the morning and ended up coming back with the team," Breland told NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune about the night of his concussion, in Pittsburgh. "The rehab process really didn't exist.
"Coming back to New Orleans, they went from, 'We're going to get you the same treatment as the NFL and the Saints guys, and we're going to do all this,' and none of that ever happened."
Breland said he followed all steps in accordance with an agreement between the players union and league owners for his medical expenses to be covered. Yet Breland said he was billed for the ambulance ride and emergency room visit.
"None of my medicals bills have been paid by the league or the team since the injury, and I've been hospitalized twice since then," he said.
The New Orleans VooDoo did not respond to interview requests.
Breland said he was hospitalized in June 2014 when his body did not get along with a prescription from doctors. In March 2015, he suffered a light stroke he said doctors attributed to the concussion.
"It's just been a nightmare since the injury," he said. "Not just financially, but emotionally and dealing with fans that are like 'what happened?' and dealing with former players and teammates checking in on me.
"Football is an emotional game, and when you're playing the game that you love and it's taken away from you -- in the nature that it wasn't taken away -- the nightmare I've been going through is almost unreal."
Breland played college football at Jackson State. He played center for the VooDoo. Breland said he has a Master's degree and currently teaches physical education at an elementary school in Mississippi.
"I just want something done so I can try to get my life back to normal," he said. "My lawyer is handling the suit, but I've just been taking my health one day at a time. Starting a different rehab and really focusing on my health. Not the lawsuit, because it's too stressful."

I don't trust anyone who says that he or she doesn't like getting presents. I don't believe that person. I think the person is saying that to try to sound in some way removed or above and beyond such silly human frivality...to which I say, "whatever, Trevor; and to think that we could have been friends." It may be that you are super rich and anything you might ever want is at your fingertips in 5 minutes...I don't know anyone like that personally, though, and I also do not envy that life, because how would you ever enjoy or appreciate anything? You wouldn't.
And seriously, please don't ever say to anyone "We're just going to focus on Jesus and the meaning of Christmas, not the presents." Because I think you are only going to create resentment towards Jesus...and WHY do those two have to be at war with each other? I was so confused by that as a kid; like, "Y'all told me the Christmas story last night, I acted in the play, we lit the candles and read the verses, and trust me, I am so grateful; but why does opening my presents and liking and looking forward to that have to mean that I don't love Jesus? Trust me, I will not forget his birth just because I got excited that you gave me the black turtleneck sweater I asked for with the ruffles on the cuffs...!"
And the Santa thing...it's cultural. It's part of the culture we live in. Have fun with that. Personally, I can't lie to my kids. I just can't. But we still just have fun with it. The legend of Santa began with a nice man trying to help a family out in need; I think that's a great tradition to follow. We all know that there are a million ways that everyone can do that every year, not just at Christmastime. On Sunday, we learned that by giving just $10, a child in Uganda can have clean drinking water...as in, they can drink water and not have to worry about dying from some horrible disease. Just $10.
Y'all, this time of year is stressful. Something in me rebels against it; I hate the feeling of the pressure and expectations to suddenly do, do, do...and I also try to remember what I felt like as a kid this time of year...so I do those fun things with my kids, but the things that are too stressful to me and make me feel like I would rather spend the day with the stomach flu are the things I avoid doing. I think that's good holiday advice for anyone... 'cause we all know what the stomach flu produces. 'nuf said.
* I DO understand not wanting to recieve gifts from a person who's "gifts" always have unspoken expectations attatched; but that is a different case altogether, and that is not really a "gift," anyway...
P.S. Thank you for staying seated on this train until it came to a complete stop. It could have used a lot more editng...but then it wouldn't have been train of thought, and I was partial to sticking with the train of thought style for this post.

Marion, as Canadian doctors prepare to euthanize patients, Maclean's magazine witters that finance wonder boy Kevin O'Leary might be the Canadian—yup, you got it—Trump.
Why? Well, why not let their Jonathon Gatehouse tell it?
When the comparison is raised, O'Leary allows that they're both good businessmen, and owe their U.S. TV success to the same man, Mark Burnett—the executive producer of The Apprentice and Shark Tank—but says that's where the similarities end. The Montreal-born son of an Irishman and a Lebanese-Canadian woman isn't interested in building walls. And he isn't shy about telling his prospective party that niqab bans and "barbaric cultural practices" snitch lines are why it lost the last election. "It's a huge mistake to think you can ever divide Canadians on racial issues," he said, repeatedly, in Ottawa. "Stephen Harper tainted the Conservative brand when he did that."
O'Leary has, however, absorbed some lessons from Trump, Rob Ford and other populists about the virtue of having a simple theme and sticking to it. "All I give a s–t about is jobs, jobs, jobs," he says. His quote-ready rants about Rachel Notley and Justin Trudeau always have the same underlying thesis: that government regulations and interventions won't help grow a struggling economy. More.
To avoid unnecessarily wasting anyone's time, I am going to assume that this doesn't really represent O'Leary (no known relation to this author, incidentally).
Maclean's (is it government-funded at this point?) needs us to believe that a historic shift like the Trump candidacy in the States can just incidentally get started by some loud rich guy, between trophy wives. Sure.
Let's start by looking at what we already know briefly and then come back:
First, big dying media and highly paid consultants were dead wrong. Trump won the GOP nomination quite easily. And political correctness did not matter in the least.
The pundits could only have been so wrong about big stuff like this if they were being paid to overlook and/or misrepresent fundamental facts.
How about: Neither historic party (nor their Canadian equivalents, I suspect) represents its historic constituencies any more. The Democrats are the party of grievance and entitlement and the Republicans are the party of global business that is willing to front the grievances and entitlements as long as their cost can be loaded onto the still-working or wants-to-work small taxpayer.
Donald Trump isn't a Hitler. He's just the guy who noticed all those people crawling around down there like ants. And I'd be surprised if things are ever the same again.
Second, governing elites don't need Westerners nearly as much as they used to. They increasingly rely on automation, migrants, labour in unfree countries, and temporary foreign workers to get things done. The average North American is increasingly likely to be an expense rather than a source of income to government. Hence abortion, euthanasia, and net population decline. Note: "Helping professionals" should generally be classed with the dependents they serve.
Okay, now back to Kevin O'Leary. If he did want to be prime minister it's hard to understand why he would want to be associated with the Conservative party, which will probably never govern again. Its traditional class, the independent professional, farmer, businessperson, etc., is shrinking, even as the grievance and entitlement class is growing. And the global business class can back anyone who keeps the locals under control while farming the world's less fortunate.
He'd have to be the candidate for traditional Canadians who want to work again and do not want global business or the Supreme Court running our lives (and ending them).
Which reminds me: Trump's crudity was a minor issue that dying media fell into the trap of making a major issue. It genuinely does not matter what some "offended" little-read harridan is shrieking, as part of a dying news organization somewhere. We've got that straight now, so let's talk ideas.
Next: The Conservatives' implosion

2018 Jeep Wrangler: Why Fans Are Afraid
The 2018 Jeep Wrangler is set to come our way but rather than be happy about it fans are afraid of what it may bring. Some people are worried about the changes that the all new version is going to bring and that it may not be the perfect off the road vehicle that it has always been.
The Jeep Wrangler has slowly been creeping away from being the ultimate off road vehicle with each new version of the vehicle. The latest modifications to the Wrangler occurred this year and with it came many firsts, including power windows and door locks.
While the brand has always focused on off road they are now trying to encourage the younger generation and appeal to a wider market. They seem to want to keep the older generation of fans but at the same time attract younger ones and some fear that this may not work and they risk losing the name they have built up for themselves with the Jeep Wrangler.
The Jeep Wrangler out now is offered up with removable and convertible tops along with windshield that folds down. But is this really what people want from the Wrangler? Many have said that the vehicle should remain in the tradition that it was when it first arrived in 1987.
But what about you, are you afraid for the 2018 Jeep Wrangler and what it might bring?

Mine is the Night takes place over the course of ten days, and it felt a bit daunting to be forced to slow my normal pace of writing. I like to speed ahead, pulling my characters through a rip-roaring, and somewhat sweeping plot. Most of this is to do with my anxiety over not having enough words for the story–and I usually end up going way over the projected word count–so this novel is a definite challenge! My well-thumbed copy of Judith Ivory's The Indiscretion is going to be a road map as I suss out how to keep the pacing and emotion at a slow, but believable speed.

I fell in love with Flower Carpet Roses in Coral and am trying to figure out some complementary colors to work this rose into my front yard. I originally had a plan worked around Little Mischief Shrub Roses, which is closer to a hot pink. Plants in the original plan, but not actually purchased yet, were Caramel Coral Bells, Little Suzy Black Eyed Susans, Ruby Phlox, Max Frei Geranium, Hakone Grass, and Vinca Bowles. Existing plants are Purple Leaf Sandcherry, Nepeta Walkers Low, Boxwoods, and red switch grass.
Any opinions on whether switching the pink roses for coral would still look good or suggestions for switching the other plants for varieties in a color better suited to complement the coral roses?
What are your favorite color combinations with coral?

|Hi Joann. I think with a hot, coral pink that you should stay away from yellows - no Black-eyed Susans! Blue and white flowers would be good, complimentary colors. Also grey, or grey-blue foliage would tone with both bright pink flowers and the purple-leaved sandcherry. The Nepeta is a good choice!
Aug 18, 2013 9:10 AM CST
|Coral shades have become favorites for me, and I agree with June's recommendations. Blues and lavenders are among my favorite complimentary colors, as well as bronze foliage. As June said, yellows do tend to fight with coral shades. I have tried a few pale, creamy yellows and have been pleased, but bright, strong yellows tend to make corals looked washed out. I like using shades of peach and salmon among coral as well.

|Hi Joann. I like coral broken down with softer peach and apricot tones, with cream and with soft primrose yellow. I also like the complementary soft mauve/lavender in there too. In my bed of these colours I have Cephalaria, Feverfew, near white, soft yellow, peach and apricot daylilies, a range of daffodils and jonquils in those tones, Bearded Iris Margharee and a similar one, Regal Lilies, Rain Lilies, Freesia refracta alba, OT hybrid Lilium Yelloween, Asiatic Lilium Frangipani, Paeonia lactiflora Coral Charm and also Bowl of Beauty, and Alstroemeria Camilla. In the past I've also had a lovely apricot carnation and a warm toned mini Chrysanthemum that had a colour blend similar to the bearded iris. The cooler tones have been mainly from Wahlenbergia and Isotoma (Australian natives with soft lavender blue flowers en masse, lower growing with small flowers). Instead you could use Campanulas though. I can try and see if I have any photos from earlier, as right now it's 'in-between' flowering while my weeping cherry holds the floor.
However in my rose garden I've gone down a different path: the bed with the coral roses is my apricot bed. It ranges from peach-pink like Abraham Darby and Evelyn, through apricot like Crepuscule, to deeper copper orange like Pat Austin, and the coral like Lilian Austin. I've decided to have only these tones and white in this bed, as I think apricot and white has a crisp fresh look. I have put white Campanula, Russell Lupin, Penstemon and Gladiolus in here, and apricot Foxglove. It's all new plantings so I have no photos yet.

|South Seas daylily is a pretty coral color and there is also a rose called coral drift.
Oct 6, 2014 6:20 AM CST
|Joann, Flower Carpet Coral is my favorite! I find the coral color to be very soft, almost pastel, until it starts to get cold; then it gets brighter. Mine is in front of a large stand of baptisia, and it is planted with Dickson's Gold campanula, Autumn Charm sedum, Palace Purple heuchera and Zagreb coreopsis. The campanula is right next to the rose on either side, then the sedum, then the coreopsis, and the heuchera is in a row behind all of those. So I did use a bright yellow, but it is some distance away. My opinion is certainly not objective, but I think that combination looks quite nice. The campanula suffered badly after last winter. I nursed it all summer, but alas I plan to replace it with something else in purple/blue shades.

|WOW Jeanie that sounds beautiful. Thank you for the idea. I planted that rose last year and was looking for a color match.
Dec 13, 2014 1:49 PM CST
|Cinta, let us know how it turns out!
I think the only color I would not put near this rose is pale pink. That leaves a lot of choices.

In Britian it is not common for people to decide to live in dark, damp and abandoned caves.
Here is a story of a former businessman who thought out of the box and planned to live underground by building his dream home in a cave - in a bid to cure his Multiple Sclerosis.
Angelo Mastropietro, 37, spent eight months single-handedly transforming the 800-year-old hobbit hole in the Wyre Forest in Worcestershire into a 21st century man cave, complete with running water, underfloor heating and even wi-fi.
The former recruitment boss was inspired to buy the cave after being diagnosed with MS at the age of 29, a catalyst which forced him to rethink his high-flying career and the stress and unhealthy lifestyle that came along with it.
Mr Mastropietro, spotted the cave in 1999 when he and some friends found shelter during a rainy bike ride.
He bought the cave for £62,000 after seeing it advertised in the local property supplement. With a budget of £100,000 he began his excavations.
He excavated 70 tonnes of stone by hand before turning his dream into a reality. He then set about carving, cutting and drilling into the sandstone hillside.
Although he wanted a calm and peaceful home he did not shun all the trappings of modern life and has electricity and running water.
He said: "MS was triggered by health and lifestyle and that was the catalyst I needed to remind me that I needed to be mindful of my health and be respectful of my lifestyle. I wanted to be in a place where I had a happier and healthier life."
The dark and dingy space needed to be completely renovated, with thousands of man hours being put into scraping through the stone.
Mr Mastropieto did not need planning permission and had no guidance of how to convert the space, with the only architect being his creative imagination.
The constant threat of his illness - which once left him paralysed – did not deter him from the extensive manual labour.
The completed home is nestled in a JRR Tolkien Middle Earth setting. It has a large terrace, intimate rooms and white walls to brighten it. Large installed glass doors and oak-framed windows let in lots of light.
It was last lived in more than seven decades ago, and is cut into 50ft high sandstone cliffs.
The cave, which has been in its current four-bedroom form for 300 years, was abandoned in the late 1940s and has been falling into disrepair ever since.
It is part of a row of caves considered to be the oldest inhabited rock houses in the whole of Europe - archaeological architects believe it was around in its earliest form nearly 800 years ago.
Mr Mastropieto had created a haven of peace and tranquility. Here is an ideal sanctuary to retreat to from the everyday stress and pressure of today.

One great thing about having a blog, is that you get great recommendations about new restaurants. One spot that keeps coming up from my friends and blog readers is B&B Butchers & Restaurant, so when I got invited there for a business lunch recently, I was really looking forward to it. B&B Butchers had plenty of paleo offerings to choose from. From seafoods, to fresh salads, and of course plenty of meat. As the name suggests, B&B has a full butcher shop attached to the restaurant. They cut (22 different types of cuts) and cure all of their meat in-house, and source their meat from ranches as close as West-Texas and as far as Japan. They are only one of nine U.S. members of the Kobe Beef Association in Japan. They are serious about their meat!
Only thing is, I don't really like to order steak for lunch, especially on someone else's dime or expense report. So what to order? Well, I couldn't order salad or seafood at a place this serious about meat. As I was eyeing the menu, I couldn't help but pause on the burgers. But which one? The Hill Country Burger with smoked sausage, pepper jack, and bbq mayo? The Butcher Shop Burger with white cheddar and applewood smoked bacon? The Spiced Lamb Burger with tabbouleh, pepper jack, and harissa ketchup? The Truffle Burger with 3 onion jam, truffle butter, and truffle aioli or the Carpet Bagger Burger? "What is a Carpet Bagger Burger?" you may ask. Well, it starts with a half pound of fresh-ground meat, sitting on top of two slices of thick cut bacon. Then they add three fried oysters and top it with Roquefort cheese and a Roquefort sauce with a touch of sriracha.
Fried Oysters are one of my favorite things in the world, and one of the only breaded things I still allow myself from time to time, so while they aren't paleo, I couldn't pass it up. The carper bagger it is.
The Burger
Let me say that when they brought out my burger, it was really impressive looking. It was a really massive burger. I was glad I ordered it bunless, because I can't imagine a bun that could have handled this huge juicy burger for long. First off, when B&B Butchers says they have thick-cut bacon, they really mean thick. The bacon slices were close to half an inch thick. That's thicker than most places burger patties. You can really tell they take pride in house-curing their bacon. It was pure smoky and salty heaven. I honestly can't remember having any better bacon than this. The patty was cooked to medium-rare perfection. The meat was outstandingly good – juicy and flavorful. Stopping there, this would be an outstanding burger, but the boys at B&B took it to the next level. The addition of the fried oysters was amazing. They lightly batter they huge oysters in a corn-meal batter, and fry them until they are crispy on the outside, and tender and juicy on the inside. Then they pile on the crumbled Roquefort cheese to add tangy blue cheese flavor. Then they top it all off in a Roquefort sauce with sriracha, which added a spicy kick to the tangy sauce.
The Verdict
This burger is truly outrageous. It is an indulgence like no other burger I have had, yet it really works well together. I am normally a purist when it comes to burgers, but I have to say this burger, all be it a bit of a novelty is grand-slam. The only bad thing about it, is that the next time I go to B&B, I might not be able to try their steak, because I might not be able to pass up the Carpet Bagger Burger.

Can you 'revive' a PC by adding an external hard drive to it AFTER the main hard drive (internal) runs out of free space.
You can add an external hard drive any time you want. I see you have an old P2 machine. You could also add another internal IDE drive and slave it. It may be cheaper. If you plan on using an external drive, make sure you have an extra usb port free or better yet, add a usb 2.0 pci card if you have a slot.
How big is your internal HDD? If it's almost full, you need to delete the useless garbage, uninstall the unnecessary programs, & off load any important files, pictures, etc to CDs, DVDs, or an external drive.
Once again I will tell you that you don't have enough RAM to run XP decently. You should have at least 512MB. And NO, virtual memory doesn't count. ALL systems use virtual memory.
I do have a lot junk on my PC. I have about 2 GB left on my 6GB HD so i back up files on my flash drive.
Thanks. I have 2 free USB ports free, by the way.

You are here: Liverpool Confidential › News & Comment.
HOPE Street, with restaurants including the London Carriage Works, Ego, Host and the Everyman Bistro, has gone head to head with Rusholme's Curry Mile in a Googe vote to find the best foodie street in Britain.
And Mathew Street, home of Cavern Walks and WAG-tastic boutique Cricket, is also on a long list to be named the UK's best fashion thoroughfare, with contenders like London's Kings Road in a long list of 20.
The search engine has announced the launch of the Google Street View Awards, which it calls a celebration of Britain's best-loved streets as voted for by the public in a nationwide poll. Four streets from within the North West have been nominated for the awards by Google's panel of various luminaries in the food and fashion sectors.
Both Manchester and Liverpool compete in the Best Foodie Street category, with Richard Harden, co-editor of the Harden's Restaurant Guide, nominating both Hope Street in Liverpool and Wilmslow Road in Rusholme, Manchester's famous curry mile.
The winner, however, will have to demonstrate a "unique mix of mouth-watering options which could include fine dining, cafés, market stalls and delicatessens, all covering a diverse mix of food types and price points", it says. But as it's a public vote, anything could go.
Mr Harden said Hope Street is "Liverpool's most genteel street, between the two cathedrals, houses almost all the city's restaurants of any interest," while council leader Warren Bradley said: ''Liverpool is blessed to have so much culture and creativity packed into the city which everyone saw when we were European Capital of Culture. It's fantastic that two of our
most dynamic and famous streets have received similar recognition in these Google Street Awards.
"I'm sure any fashionista who has shopped in the Mathew Street area or the countless food lovers who have dined along the many great restaurants on Hope Street will vote right away.''
The four streets within the North West will now join 46 others, which some would say is more longlist than shortlist, in a nationwide public vote which closes on Sunday 28th February. The winners will be announced in March.
The North West proved popular with Google's panel. Editor of Glamour, Jo Elvin, nominated Manchester's New Cathedral Street for Britain's Best Fashion Street. Mathew Street was nominated by Daily Mirror Fashion Editor Amber Morales.
Justine Mills, owner of Cricket, said: "Mathew Street has been at the cutting edge of fashion since the 1960s, from the Beatle's walking to the Cavern Club in their winklepicker boots to the modern day footballer's wives shopping at Cricket in their Christian Louboutin heels. Cricket are delighted to be positioned on this enigmatic street and are excited to be included on the shortlist for Britain's Best Fashion Street."
Mary Colston, of The Hope Street Hotel, added: "The London Carriage Works is enormously proud that Hope Street has been nominated, but then we are enormously proud of our street and our neighbours on it."
In another category, Britain's Most Picturesque Street, Liverpool failed to make the list of nominees. But so did Manchester, so that's all right then.

Falkner Square is certainly the prettiest square in Britain
Clearly the judges didnt make it to mathew street of a night. Or bother to eat on the awful curry mile.
There is one boutique on Mathew St. The woman from the Mirror was obviously nobbled. What about the glorious Bold St?
Googlers will eat ANYTHING!
Does anyone remember Armadillo over the road from the Grapes........ that was a fabulous place!
The curry mile is home to a collection of some of the worst restaurants i've ever eaten in. I'm also confused by this quote from google "unique mix of mouth-watering options which could include fine dining, cafés, market stalls and delicatessens, all covering a diverse mix of food types and price points" because the vast majority of restaurants in Rusholme serve the exact same things.
Whatever happened to the '23 Restaurant'?
What about The Grapes in Mathew Street. Their home cooked steak batch, egg & chips circa 1974 washed down with a pint of Higsons was pure heaven.
The 23 Restaurant is a bit of an enigma

There is a strong consensus that more eligible in-state students should be admitted to the University of California campus of their choice.
But some legislators have the wrongheaded idea that the way to accommodate more deserving Californians is to exclude out-of-state students, and they have pushed this notion into the budget process instead of restoring the state funding needed to increase UC enrollment.
Assemblyman Kevin McCarty of Sacramento has authored Assembly Bill 1711 that would limit out-of-state enrollment at UC campuses, but he is championing a plan that would actually reduce non-California enrollment and add thousands of California students without paying for them. This plan shorts the university by $4,000 a student, a recipe for turning the world's greatest public university into little more than a diploma mill.
Over the past three decades, decision-makers in Sacramento have reduced support for all three public higher education systems during budget crunches. State support for UC has been reduced by more than half, while CSU per student funding is down more than 30 percent. During the Great Recession, community college funding was cut by $1.5 billion. That has meant more reliance on tuition and fees and cuts in classes and programs. The miracle is that all three systems have maintained high quality.
In recent years, there has been a start of a turnaround in state funding for higher education, so the Assembly proposal is particularly jarring.
Those who believe that out-of-state students at UC are displacing Californians are out of touch with reality. The major factor that limits enrollment is money – to pay faculty, provide student services and give financial aid. Out-of-state students more than pay their own way because their tuition and fees are more than $20,000 a year higher, and effectively subsidize the cost of educating California students. Exclude non-resident students and there will be less, not more room for Californians.
Last year, the governor and UC collaborated on a plan to increase resident undergraduate enrollment by 5,000 students over two years. That plan is working and there is opportunity to do more. The state Senate version of the 2016-17 budget would provide the $10,000 per student needed to support that increase – a much more reasonable approach.
Every Californian deserves a shot at the best possible education, but that can't be done on the cheap.
