Unique Birdbath & Planter Set Creates a Mini-Oasis
Songbirds can be attracted to the smallest of spaces… with the right stuff! Elements found in nature are always best for birds; plantings that produce a food source and fresh water, they just can't be beat when it comes to helping wild birds thrive.
Our hand made birdbath & planter lets you combine those elements in a stunning fashion. Whether your yard is monstrous or miniscule, you can create a one-stop oasis by planting for the birds and offering a fresh water source in one. Equally suited for deck, patio, or balcony, it's ingenious!
Nectar producing flowers like petunias, lantana, salvia, and impatience work perfectly in the generous planter bowl, and it's very likely that hummingbirds and butterflies will frequent these flowers for a quick meal.
The bath itself is glazed inside which helps water stay cooler. Adding a few river rocks or decorative stone makes the pool even more inviting by offering easy spots to land and perch, especially for fledgelings and juveniles during spring. Adding them will also help trap sediments at the bottom of the bowl. But when temperatures really start to heat up, water should be changed every other day. Because that's the trick… if you keep it fresh – they will come!
In brilliant blue, green or turquoise, this bath and planter set packs a big punch for a small space. Beautiful glazed pottery, colorful annuals, and vibrant birds of spring and summer! What gardener could ask for more?
Another birdbath set worth mentioning features a bee skep, although strictly decorative. The bath is actually hand painted, and the large pottery skep makes for unique garden sculpture.
Now, about that special Mother's Day gift – there's no way you forgot mom?

Add moving water to bird baths
The absolute best way to entice feathered friends is with water. Fresh water will attract birds who may never use a birdhouse or even visit your feeders. Bird baths have got to be the single most effective way to get more species visiting your yard.
And if water does the trick so well, think about moving water in your bird baths. It's an absolute visual magnet for wild birds! If you're lucky enough to have a pond with fountain or waterfall, or live on a creek, you already know the difference water makes in terms of wildlife-friendly habitat. But if your landscape is dry (like most of us) there are lots of ways to create this moving water. Drippers and water wigglers are wildly popular additions for bird baths, simply because of the all the action they bring. Leaf misters are another great way to create moving water – hummingbirds and especially butterflies love the gentle spray.
Here's a net trick to make bird baths much more enticing, without spending any money at all! This works best with pedestal bird baths, but may also be adapted for hanging or ground bird baths as well. The bath needs to sit under a tree, as the source of slowly dripping water will come from above. Take a gallon milk jug and poke a pin hole in the lower corner, or bottom. Fill the jug with fresh water and tie it to a sturdy branch that's at least 3 to 5 feet above the bath. Step away and watch the slow dripping create a visual magnet for your feathered friends! One gallon leaking through a pin hole should last at least 10 days before a refill is needed. The moving water really does attract more birds, plus mosquitoes can not lay eggs in moving water. A great project to try out for spring and summer… Happy Birding!
Bird Baths Handcrafted the Old Fashioned Way
Want to entice more feathered friends? Better than any birdhouse or bird feeder, bird baths really do the trick. Fresh water is very appealing to many species, even those who may never visit a feeder or use a birdhouse.The water element is in fact the most crucial one when creating a wildlife habitat.
If you fancy the nicer things in your garden, there are pedestal type bird baths that are still crafted the old fashioned way by talented artisans. Fine clays are used to create elegant designs, many are even hand painted. The Best Friends Bird Bath shown at left features an intricate relief of cats and dogs. The character is charming, and you can be sure birds will love it too! With a patented locking lid system for added stability, this bath will last for many seasons of use.
Although the production methods differ significantly they share certain features – an emphasis on quality, craftsmanship, and attention to detail, offering beautiful, American-made bird baths and garden decor.

The Versatile Hanging Bird Bath
Although you may hear it all the time, a fresh water source really is the best way to entice more species of birds to your yard. It's so true, and once a bird bath is added you'll be more than pleased with the results!
Even in urban areas, folks still like their songbirds. If you have a small yard, or no yard – it's no problem! If there's even the tiniest deck or balcony, you can easily install a hanging bird bath with a metal hook that's made just for decks and railings. It's truly a joy looking out the window and seeing sweet songbirds' activity. If anything can take you away from the daily hustle and bustle…it's got to be nature!
Hanging bird baths are well suited in big yards too where they may be ground predators lurking. Although birds do naturally bathe at ground level, the hanging bath gives them an advantage in this situation. In our yard there are ground and pedestal baths, and still we have a small copper hanging bird bath too.
Another advantage of the hanging bird bath is that it can be used as a platform-type feeder in winter months. Many materials like weatherproof stoneware (shown here) will withstand freezing temperatures. With the large, flat area, it's versatile enough for feeding suet, peanuts, mealworms, birdseed mixes, or just about anything you'd like to offer feathered friends in freezing months.
The optimal water depth is about 2-inches for birds to bathe and wade comfortably. If your birdbath is deeper than that, try placing a large rock in the center for birds to perch safely.

Bird Baths Will Have Them Flocking!
By and large, a fresh water source will attract more birds to your yard! The best single way to entice feathered friends is with bird baths. Many species who may never visit a feeder, or even use a birdhouse to nest, will visit a birdbath with fresh water in it. Many styles will compliment an environment nicely by using design elements that are found in nature itself.
This hand made pedestal birdbath is also hand painted. Cheery Goldfinches perched on graceful branches is such a scene found in nature. These kinds of ceramic baths really do enhance the garden or yard, and bring it to life once discovered by birds.
The bath doesn't have to be a pedestal type either, hanging bird baths are also wonderful for attracting birds. And if it's a close-up view you'd like, deck-mount bird baths bring the action right to your window. Hanging and deck mounted bird baths are also perfect for smaller spaces. While birds tend to bathe at ground level in the wild, raised baths are preferred if predators lurk in the yard.
The optimal water depth for bird baths is really only two to three inches. This is the depth where birds can bathe and wade comfortably. If the birdbath is deeper, a large rock may be placed in the center for birds to perch. Adding a birdbath to your yard will positively impact the numbers and different species who will visit…try it and see!
An Aged Ceramic Bird Bath
Ground bathing comes naturally for birds, and with ground birdbaths you can provide feathered friends with fresh water on warm summer days. Check daily to make sure there is plenty of water for birds to drink and bathe. Other wildlife will be grateful for the water too.
This ceramic bird bath ensures a timeless object of beauty in the garden, even when birds aren't using it! The elegant black scroll print and aged-look ceramic gives it authentic old world charm.
Please note: if ground predators such as cats are prevalent in the area, it's best to either raise the bath a few feet up on a tree stump or table, or refrain from using this style of birdbath. Pedestal or hanging bird baths would be much better suited in this situation.
Ceramic Bird Baths In Vibrant Colors
New to the hobby of backyard birding?
There are numerous ways to attract more species than with houses and food.
Investing in a quality bird bath is one of the best ways to attract more feathered friends to your yard. A fresh water source serves many who may not ever use a birdhouse, or perch at a feeder. In the heat of summer with severe droughts, and in frigid snowy winter months, birds need water to survive. Not only for drinking, but bathing keeps feathers clean, preened and working right!
The choices can be overwhelming, and the absolute best birdbath is the one you will maintain for your birds to use. Sound silly? Not at all….heavy concrete baths look nice, I have one in my yard. But the bowl sure is awkward and heavy to dump old water. I have to brace it against my leg to do so. Also, the porous surface makes it a little harder to keep clean. Glass baths are nice, not too heavy, and very easy to clean.
If adding a splash of color to the yard or garden is a concern, ceramic bird baths are the way to go. Vibrant colors in every possible style of birdbath are out there. Be it hanging, pedestal, or a ground birdbath, ceramics bring a bit of functional art to any environment. Two useful features of ceramic bird baths are these: they help keep water cooler during high temperatures, and they have the ability to withstand a bath heater in winter. All in all, they make an excellent choice for a new backyard birding accessory, as well as a great gift for any occasion. A gift that gets used everyday, lasts a lifetime, and gives back to nature is sure to bring joy to the recipient…with no worries of re-gifting!

Add Moving Water to a Ceramic Bird Bath
Moving water in a bird bath will make a huge difference in the numbers and species who frequent it. In fact, a fresh water source is one of the best ways to attract more birds. This is because all species of wild birds do not use birdhouses and bird feeders.
So if water is the best way to attract them…moving water is even better! Like a visual magnet to birds, the gentle ripples of a water wiggler, or the slow, dripping from a copper tube commands their attention and keeps them coming back. The difference is really hard to believe until you've tried it! Whether you have a ground bath, deck-mount model, tall ceramic bird bath, or the new hanging baths with built in misters, moving water is definitely where the action is.
The Beauty of Ceramic Bird Baths
Bird baths are one of the most effective ways to attract more feathered friends to your yard.
They may not use bird feeders, and many are non-cavity dwelling species (they won't use birdhouses), but you can bet these birds WILL visit a fresh water source! Especially in winter, when many natural, shallow water sources have frozen over, birdbaths prove to be life savers for many wild birds.
With ceramic bird baths, there is the capacity to withstand a heater or de-icer. This makes perfect sense for keeping your bath available year-round for birds. I've just never understood why folks empty and turn baths upside down for winter? The need is so great this time of year. When ceramics are glazed, they tend to keep water cooler in summer's heat too.
There are several heaters available that are safe for all birdbaths now, so there's never any worries of damage or melting. Ceramic bird baths are available in every style and color imaginable. Hanging, pedestal, or even deck-mount (with the use of a special bracket) will all be visited and appreciated by your birds! Even a plain ceramic saucer on the ground, or a tree stump makes for a great birdbath when maintained with fresh water….Just add water and see the difference!

'Dragon Ball Super' Theory: Son Goku has reached the level of Angels
In Episode 129 of 'Dragon Ball Super,' Son Goku's mastered Ultra Instinct amazed even the Gods of Destruction.
The 129th episode of "Dragon Ball Super" was action-packed and full of surprises. Just when Goku's ultra instinct defense mode was about to lose to Jiren's full-powered attacks, his power level rose even higher and started to launch attacks unconsciously. At that point, the Gods of Destructions stood up. Did they stand up because they are expressing their admiration to Goku who finally mastered Ultra Instinct that they cannot even reach? Or did they stand up because they will now witness how strong Goku's mastered UI is against the strongest fighter in the whole creation?
A closer look at full-powered Ultra Instinct
The hierarchy in "Dragon Ball Super" is quite simple compared to "Dragon Ball Z." In "DBS," the Gods of Creation are lower compared to the Gods of Destruction and the Angels.
The Angels stand below the Gods of Destruction. Although it was established in "Dragon Ball: Battle of Gods" that the Angels are stronger than the Gods of Destruction, they are simply the Gods' assistants and teachers.
If we are going to take a closer look, the Angels have silver hair and silver eyes. The Grand Priest, the father of all Angels, also bears the same physical features. They are also quite knowledgeable about Ultra Instinct compared to the Gods themselves. As a matter of fact, it was mentioned by Whis before, that not even Beerus and the other Gods of Destruction have mastered the Ultra Instinct.
But with the way Goku exhibited his Ultra Instinct amazed the Gods in the 129th episode, we can safely assume that Goku has reached the level of Gods and Angels.
Another thing that will support this claim is how Whis was able to tell whether Goku has mastered UI or not. Only those who have mastered UI can tell if a person has achieved it or not, right? When Beerus asked Whis if Goku has indeed achieved complete UI, Whis was able to confirm it without hesitation. This is a testament to the Angels' knowledge and experience regarding UI.
But what about the angel Marcarita?
How was Universe 11's Angel Marcarita not able to predict Goku mastering UI in the first place? One can argue that Universe 11's Angel is simply biased toward her home universe. Also, it can be noted that while the Angels may be stronger than the Gods of Destruction that they serve, they still have unique traits and personalities. One can also argue that they have different power levels compared to one another. Marcarita was not able to tell her master Belmod that Goku is going to master Ultra Instinct because she was not concerned in the first place, as the whole Universe 11 team believes that Jiren is still stronger compared to Goku.
with or without his UI.

Drink by the Mitterand library
In August, when Paris is emptied from Parisians, when the banks of the Seine river live in a beach atmosphere, when the men go to work without the ties, when many small shops and butiques are closed, when you have no problem to park in the center of the city, ...also the evenings after work and the weekends have are in a holiday mood.
One of the places which needs to be recommended in this summer weather is the Seine quay in front of the modern architecture complex of four buildings of the library, for Parisians known as Bibliothèque Nationale de France, or the Mitterand library. A large wooden staircase takes you to the four impressive buildings representing four open books. The staircase is at the same time a place to sit and enjoy a sendwich or a bottle of wine.
Right in front of the library the banks of the Seine river are connected by one of the newest Parisian bridges, Passerelle Simone-de-Beauvoir, architecturally interesting with its two levels slightly bended in a lentil shape.
The wooden pedestrian bridge offers you a view on several permanently anchored boats, so called "péniches". Many of them are restaurants, coffee places and bars and on the quay there are coffee places representing "beach life in Paris". Atmosphere with beach chairs and cozy couch chairs with pillows, exotic plants on the bar desk, big offer of the cokteils, possibility of ordering a "planchette" – large wooden plate with the selection of cheeses and salami, or an organic ice-cream is the perfect attraction of summer Paris.Relax in the beach chairs with the view on the waters and life of the Seine, bask in the sun, talk with friends, read a book and even after a third glass you will not want to leave. The sun warms the quay and coffee terasse till 8:30 p.m. and so at this place the Parisian evening can last a pleasant eternity. A practical curious information is that when you make an order at the bar, they charge you an extra euro for a "consigne" – which you recover when you return empty glasses, spoons or the wooden plate.
Even during the weekends this part of the Seine quay is not too crowded and you feel a local atmosphere, not many tourists come to this place, since all of them are in front of the Notre-Dame, there is no need of a frenetic camera clicks, you see the sweating jodgers running or people walking their dogs.
And if you really want to feel like on a beach, do not forget to take your swimming suit, it is very probable that you will be attracted by clear blue water of the "Joséphine Baker" swimming pool floating right on the surface of the dark waters of the Seine river. Especially Tuesday and Thursday nights are attractive, since on these days the swimming pool is open till 11 p.m.

Little Porkita doesn't feel well. She has pancreatitis. Any time something upsets her, she begins to have rumbling tummy followed by numerous doggie indiscretions, most of them bloody. Yes, this is annoying, but mostly I feel sorry for the little scrap of dog. I hope she survives a recent spate of pancreatitis episodes and returns to her sassy little self.

GOOD ENTRY BELOW REGARDING MY RECENT READ, DAILY RITUALS, How Artists Work by Mason Curry.
The Daily Rituals book is not the best or most inspiring book i've ever read, but it was cool to get a glimpse into so many lives of the greats! Nice to read about them and how different they were and what made this artists tick :)
Reading a NEW book at lunch that i'm starting, it's called "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, by Mark Manson"....I'm glad I finsihed the other book, DAILY RITUALS, which was about the daily routines of many famous artists, composers, writers, painters, musicians.
It wasn't very inspiring, but did demonstrate the depths and drive some had to go thru in order to become renown and produce such masterpieces (hard effot / work)...and for a few it came more naturally without as much a struggle. Many artists were alcoholics or drug addicts, but others were very healthy and lead more natural lives and routines. But as we all know, many artists are inherently a bit extreme. Not all, but many.
Many worked on little sleep or took drugs for sleeping and stimulants for waking. some took daily naps. It all depended on several things. Some artists had to work day jobs to pay the bills, some relied on their family to provide food and housing so that they could write full time. Some lived in poverty bc nobody was helping them, until their first big break.
Many would write / practice their art even when uninspired, to keep the routine and stay in practice so that they could eventually produce a greak work...everyone was different. But one important thing to remember is that practice makes perfect...or at least practice makes GREAT.
And this is what i take from the book, called DAILY RITUALS. It's that even when you aren't feeling you are producing your best work, you stil stay in the routine and you still practice. So that when that inspiration does come to you, you've been already in practice and your job becomes easier...THIS IS HOW I THINK OF MY RUNNING. I generally suck...but the more I practice, the easier it is getting....I have one choice: KEEP PRACTICING!
Another important note I learned from the book Daily Rituals is that many of the greats did not ONLY do work. They also enjoyed exercise, usually walking very long walks like at least one hour per day and some as much as 2-3 hours of walking per day!!!!...some enjoyed swimming!...but in general artists were used to being active, not all of them - but many - or doing another hobby which would inpsire their work...generally the more active ones were the ones that did not have a second job or line of work to support their writing...the ones that had hobbies were usually the ones that didn't need a second line of work to support themselves (like composers could be composers and writers were able to just be writiers...these guys were able to have hobbies and go on those long walks...or see shows, etc....) All things to think about!
Either way, many of the greats did NOT become great without LOTS OF PRACTICE and/or many failures first....PRACTICE....PRACTICE.....PRACTICE...and i'll run better, too! NEVER GIVE UP...the only way you cannot achieve something is by making the ACTIVE DECISION TO GIVE UP!Progress as of today: 2 lbs lost so far, only 3 lbs to go!

we played shuffleboard at the beach and saw other areas as well for fishing. was so nice going with my friend Ricky. Just wish he was younger and some other things. I can't date him, nor do i want to. It would have been better if i was MORE attracted to him for physical stuff. most of the time we aren't physical. I have never kissed him (do not want to).

Tomorrow the trip will be here at last. I will shed what is left of my routine life and embark on an unpredictable adventure. The career, the home of my own, my regular social life, the day to day errands of life, my various responsibilities, those have been shed. Now I will shed my family, my pets, the familiar... my phone, my computer (I'll be updating this in cafes), all possessions that do not fit in my backpack. Three months to try to live differently, bond with new, interesting people, live on a strict budget, have no home. I will be exposed to new cultures, meet other travelers on quests of their own, see historic places I've only heard about, and of course, have a damn good time. The excitement is rising within me and it's hard to imagine what to expect. When I return, I will no doubt be excited to see the American flag waving and pull up to the drive way of my parents house in cozy Raleigh, NC. One of many reasons to do a trip like this is to gain a new appreciation for what we have here in the states. Western Europe is surely not far removed from the way we do things here, but even the subtle differences will be fascinating.
So here I go, time to take this mysterious tour of Europe. People have encouraged and reassured me plenty, but I still naturally feel the discomfort of what I am about to do. Is this the right way to figure out what's out there, to soul search, to explore? Well, hopefully it is, because in 24 hours I will be kissing my parents goodbye and walking through the the concourse to my terminal. Here I go! The adventure begins at last.

Snapshot: Ex-President Bush writes letter to Alabama kicker
Fri., Dec. 13, 2013
Alabama kicker Cade Foster received a supportive note from former President George W. Bush. Foster missed two field-goal attempts and had a third blocked in the Crimson Tide's 34-28 loss to Auburn on Nov. 30. He posted a photo of the letter on his Twitter and Instagram accounts Wednesday. Bush wrote: "Dear Cade (#43), Life has its setbacks. I know! However you will be a stronger human with time. I wish you all the best. Sincerely, another 43 George Bush" Bush was the 43rd President and Foster wears No. 43. "Framing this," the senior kicker wrote on the Instagram caption. Foster, who had made 11 of 12 field goals on the season before the game with Auburn, received threats on social media in the aftermath of the loss. No. 3 Alabama (11-1) will play Oklahoma (10-2) in the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 2. – AP

Age Beautifully With These Excellent Growing Older Tips
Getting Older is a normal progression of life. As you age, your body may not be able to do many things that it used to do. However, it does not mean that the quality of your life has to suffer. There are many things that you can do to make sure that you enjoy your retirement years. Read the following article for some suggestions.
Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish are being shown to be a great ally in the fight against aging. The fatty acids are amazing for the skin and will help keep it soft and moisturized longer. They are also showing promising benefits in their affects on the brain function as well. So go ahead and have more Salmon in your diet.
Be alive while you are alive. Many sad things are going to happen in your life. You should take the time to grieve and then endure the pain that you experience. Do not spend too much time holding onto those painful feelings. They will surely bring you down and out.
Did you know that high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes are risk factors for dementia? These risks become more severe due to smoking, lack of exercise and high cholesterol. As we age, it becomes increasingly important to control these disorders in order to maintain good mental health as aging progresses.
Exercise can improve the growing older process. As we get older, our muscle mass naturally declines, making everyday activities more difficult and reducing the number of calories we burn. While aerobic exercise helps maintain muscle mass and control weight, resistance exercise has the added benefit of helping maintain bone mass.
Go out with friends and family. One of the worst things to do as you start to get older is to isolate yourself in your home. Make sure you get out a few times a week for anything: to volunteer, to have lunch or any of hundreds of possibilities. Going out and seeing others has a great effect on your mental health.
As you grow older, many hear the reminders of how important it is to eat healthy everyday; a treat once in a while can bring a smile to your face. Don't you just love to eat your favorite food? Maybe chocolate chip cookies are your pick? Bake up a batch and enjoy them with a friend or family member. Enjoy the companionship of someone you love with something you enjoy!
Stop multitasking! Your mind cannot function the way that it once did. You will find it easier and far less stressful if you do not try to accomplish as many things at once. Avoiding stress is important as you get older to avoid doing damage to your heart and your body.
Don't overeat! Overeating is one of the most common factors in shortening your life span. You don't want to starve yourself, but you should be conscious of the amount of calories you're taking in each day. Check with your doctor and find out the amount of calories you should be taking in based on your age, gender, and body type, and try to stick to that number.
Eating lots of whole grains http://www.primallyinspired.com/benefits-of-collagen-peptides-protein/ will help you look and feel younger. The key to whole grains is they must be intact and not the ones that are ground into flour which destroys the fiber in them. Whole grains are an excellent source of fiber, minerals, and vitamins and provide fuel for doing cardiovascular and strength training exercises.
If you begin to notice age spots as you age, you can try to lighten it if you wish. There are over-the-counter products or prescribed products to help you do this. You may try a fade cream, yet at the same time follow the instructions very carefully so you avoid irritating your skin.
Melatonin can helps you do more than get a good night's rest when you are sleeping. This powerful and natural hormone does a great job as an antioxidant. The natural supply of melatonin diminishes as the body ages and adding a supplement to your diet can improve sleep as well as give your immune system a vital boost.
Think about doing volunteer work after you retire. This will make your days more fulfilling and interesting. In addition, it will extend your social network. Non-profits are always looking for volunteers, and they often do not get enough. If you can volunteer your time, you will be providing them with a very valuable service.
When you have a large meal, add vegetables as a side dish. Vegetables contain a lot of nutrients that you need and can improve your overall mood. In addition, vegetables do not have a lot of fat content, which can help to increase your longevity and limit the wrinkles that you get on your skin.
As we get older, and reach http://thebandisoutonthefield.com/?created-by-Robbie-Gaffney-using-effective-online-supplements-company-marketing-to-sell-supplements.html the ages when certain medical tests are recommended. It's important that we actually get them done as soon as possible. Getting tests like mammograms and colonoscopies might be bothersome and inconvenient, but they can save lives when they detect a dangerous disease in its early stages, and thereby increase your chance of survival.
It is important to treat yourself as often as possible to improve the way that you feel and gain more confidence. The next time you have off, go to the local spa near you and get a facial. This will help to exfoliate the surface of your skin, so that you can look your best and instill a warm glow to your complexion.
As you age your skin can becomes more susceptible to the sun's harshness. Try to target activities that limit your exposure to direct sunlight. Wear a hat when walking or gardening, and before you go out in the sun, treat your skin liberally with a high SPF sunscreen to prevent UV damage.
A great tip to prevent growing older is to include lots of vitamin E in your diet. Vitamin E is great for the skin as it helps your skin maintain its elasticity. One of the tell tale signs of aging is looser skin so including vitamin E in your diet will keep your skin nice and tight.
They say youth is wasted on the young, but that's all the more reason to get your youth back. With the tips in this article, you'll be able to look and feel like you did years ago, but you'll retain all the wisdom age has brought you. You won't mind growing older now that you have this advice to guide you.

THE great Restoration statesman the Marquess of Halifax is now usually remembered with the disparaging title of "Halifax the Trimmer." Not only was he (as we would say) "pragmatic" in his own political allegiances, but he invented The Character of a Trimmer in a pamphlet of that name in 1684. When, said his lordship, a boat was weighed down by too many people on one side or the other, "it happeneth there is a third opinion of those, who conceive it would do as well, if the boat went even without endangering the passengers." Those passengers, therefore must rely on the Trimmer to move back and forth between the two sides so as to keep an even keel. Yet in his own day, said Halifax, "the poor Trimmer hath now all the powder spent upon him alone, while the Whig is a forgotten or at least a neglected enemy; there is no danger now to the state (if some men may be believed) but from the beast called a Trimmer."
By what strange quirk of human nature, then, does it happen that in our time the Trimmer has come to be more honored than the party man? If the media consensus is to be believed, the danger to the state comes from the beast called a "Partisan" — while the Trimmers of the Clinton Administration are all triangulating away like mad to keep the Partisans from capsizing us. As Congress recessed last month, for example, Alison Mitchell sadly announced on the front page of the New York Times the "Return of Partisanship to Capitol Hill."
As the 105th Congress ended its first session tonight, it could boast of one paramount, bipartisan achievement: the midsummer legislation to balance the budget and cut taxes. But the ill will, stalemate, and destruction of the session's closing weeks point to a return to sharp partisanship next year.
Who are the guilty men of this Partisan Congress? Interestingly, those who are blamed for bringing back hated Partisanship are those who take up contrary positions to those which the New York Times consistently identifies as the right ones. The Republicans were at fault for killing campaign-finance reform and the nominations of Bill Lann Lee to head the civil-rights division of the Justice Department and William Weld to be ambassador to Mexico, while the Democrats were guilty of opposing their President on free trade. The reader is invited to share in the writers' longing for an ideal world in which everyone would be as far-sighted as the New York Times.
Meanwhile, in the Washington Post, Dan Balz was singing the praises of current British political discourse, to which the new Conservative leader, William Hague, had made a remarkable contribution by admitting that his party had suffered its worst defeat in over ninety years because it "was regarded as out of touch and irrelevant." Balz does not reflect that Hague could hardly have acknowledged less and might have acknowledged a lot more; that "was regarded" was a typical politician's use of the passive voice in order to avoid assigning responsibility. No matter, it was enough to send Balz off into raptures:
What if the Republicans, after 1996, had acknowledged that, in their haste to undo the Great Society, they had alarmed many of the voters who had put them into power? What if they had really owned up to the fact that the hard edges of their conservatism in the 104th Congress had triggered a public backlash that hung like a dead weight upon Dole's campaign?
And what if neither of these things is true? Balz never considers this possibility because for him, and for the journalistic Trimmers whose ever-growing numbers he would join, it is true ex hypothesi: all moral failing and most electoral non-success must be the results of deviations from the Golden Mean, that tolerant, secular, "compassionate," Great Society Lite habit of mind that the journalistic consensus has made its own.
The irony is that Balz is right in claiming that "neither party in America works very well these days." But much of the reason for this state of affairs is that both parties are terrified to go beyond that same journalistic consensus, lest they be identified as "extremists" or unduly "hard edged." We all are Trimmers now.
What was it that turned the Trimmer from a reviled turncoat into the "pragmatic," "non-ideological" hero of our time — the Colin Powell or the Bill Bradley to whom so many in the press look to usher in a new, "non-partisan" political era? Perhaps the sea of cant on which our politics has been floating since Vietnam and Watergate is just unusually stormy and requires a lot of trimming. But if so, the job of the Trimmer is an easy one so long as he continues to occupy his usual place of journalistic safety. What could be easier than to stand to one side and tweak the party men with one's own disinterested avoidance of party conflict? What could be nicer than to gain a reputation for high-minded principle by promoting such issues as campaign-finance reform, gun control, punishment for tobacco companies, and stepped-up production of racial pieties?
Yet the true Trimmer can never really have any other principles so long as his first principle is keeping an even keel between Left and Right. It is therefore hard to know whether it is to the Trimmer's credit or discredit that he less often proves true to his one ostensible principle of moderation than to his many unacknowledged ones, which are generally liberal. For the most notable journalistic Trimmers of our time — E. J. Dionne and David Broder of the Washington Post, for example, Jonathan Alter and Matthew Cooper of Newsweek, Joe Klein of The New Yorker — are nearly all liberals whose compromises with the failures of their creed are mostly rhetorical. These are men (for some reason, women are less likely to be apologetic about their liberalism) who have learned how to salve their consciences by clinging to the "compassion" of their liberal youth while at the same time claiming credit for the "moderation" of their middle age.
But liberal habits of mind die hard. Consider E. J. Dionne's taking the Republicans to task last summer for charging Democrats with attempting to revive "class warfare" by insisting on a high rate of capital-gains tax for "the wealthiest," who were to have received 18.8 per cent of the "benefits" under the Republican plan but only 2.6 per cent under Clinton's. "Once upon a time," wrote Dionne, "class warfare meant 'soaking the rich.' Now you're in the trenches with bearded Marxists if your tax cut for the wealthy isn't big enough. Strange, but this is Washington in 1997." To Dionne, of course, that money is the government's, and it is absurd for the government to "offer" or "give" it to rich people. He doesn't see that logically you're in the trenches with the bearded Marxists whether you propose to start soaking the rich or, as in Washington in 1997, not to stop soaking them.
Characteristically, however, he is generous with his advice to Republicans, who, he says, "are missing their best case for a tax cut" by not agreeing to Democratic proposals to extend the $500-a-child tax credit to non-taxpayers. Recalcitrance on this point he takes to be nothing less than "incomprehensible." (Revealing word!) Tax relief for those who pay no taxes is not tax relief but a handout from government — that is, from some genuine taxpayer. But once again Dionne sees all that money as belonging to the government in the first place, so that the tax credit would be for him a handout in either case. That is why what would seem to be an elementary distinction between giving people back their own money and giving them some of somebody else's is "incomprehensible" to him.
The Trimmer's gestures to the right, though sincere, depend for their magnanimity upon such incomprehensibilities as these. Indeed, if you think about it, it is quite touching that someone like Matt Cooper can continue to be polite to Republicans when he takes it for granted that the story of the Reagan years is precisely as it is in the Democratic playbook: "overzealous military spending and excessive tax cuts led to $5 trillion worth of debt."
One of the most revealing things Cooper ever wrote was in his consideration in The New Republic of the improbable candidacy of Richard Lugar for the Republican nomination in 1996. "The most pressing question," he wrote, "is not whether Lugar will be elected President, which is doubtful in the extreme. It's whether Lugar will win the mantle of the thinking man's candidate." Why this should have been a "pressing question" to the political junkies who read The New Republic is very far from clear: why it was pressing to bien-pensant journalists is much more clear. Identification of "the thinking man's candidate" (Cooper helpfully reminds us that this was Paul Tsongas in 1992 and Bruce Babbitt in 1988) — a candidate whose chief virtue, it is not too much to say, is his unelectability — is necessary for those whose business it is to find and praise politicians who stand for a show of bipartisanship and cheerful pragmatism.
THESE qualities are all very well in their place, of course, but one ought to be suspicious about those who value them for their own sake and independently of context. That is the sure path to Clintonian posing, which is only a more successful version of the "thinking man's" vacuous tributes to any sort of bipartisanship and pragmatism, when in fact the Partisan may be in any given instance (and often is) far more pragmatic, and the pragmatic the result of partisanship. But Clinton has shown us how liberalism in the post-Reagan era has learned to sustain itself by trimming against the list to conservatism. In 1996 it was nearly impossible to find any single issue on which Clinton had a substantive disagreement with his Republican opponents; but on every issue he pledged to go more slowly and to protect those, such as children or old people, whom he portrayed as being otherwise vulnerable to Republican rashness.
Thus the Trimmers in the press have become, after a period of fashionable skepticism and ennui, largely converts to the Clintonian notion of the "vital center" epitomized by "soccer moms." What is there left now for the poor toothless beast of a Trimmer to try to set to rights but such few shreds of "partisanship" as remain –Jesse Helms, for instance, or an unexpected stiffening from Orrin Hatch over the appointment of Mr. Lee? Until such time as we can learn once again to hate the Trimmer, there will be no good times for anybody in following American politics.
OK, what you think will be next ? What exactly do you think will take place if you're such a big prognostigator?

Molluscs (spineless) - one of the types of invertebrate animals living in marine and fresh water and on land. The major classes: bivalves, gastropods and cephalopods. The body of the soft clam, non-segmented, for the most part covered with a sink.
Many molluscs (oysters, mussels, scallops, squid and others) used in food. Clams have certain medical importance, as edible molluscs, residing in contaminated water, acquire toxic properties and can cause food poisoning (treatment in these cases symptomatic); concentrating in his body the various bacteria, shellfish can be a source of infectious diseases, including typhoid fever.
Some species of gastropods are intermediate hosts of parasitic worms class flukes (Lancet Fluke, fasciolae, opisthorchis, schistosomes and others)contributing to the spread them among the people and animals (see the Trematodozov). For the extermination of harmful shellfish resort to burning of pastures, drainage of wetlands, use copper sulfate and various organophosphorus drugs - molluscicides, as well as some antibiotics, such as Milutin.
Molluscs (Mollusca; from lat. mollis - soft - one of the types of invertebrate animals originating in the process of historical development from worms. Type M has more than 105 thousand species. Shellfish - dvustoronnesimmetrichnye animals in which, however, due to the secondary displacement authorities often pronounced asymmetry. The body soft, undifferentiated, surrounded skin fold - mantle-emitting shell. Body - leg - is an unpaired muscular outgrowth on the ventral side of the body; its homologue in floating marine forms "funnel". M live in fresh and sea water, and on land (Fig.).
Type M includes several classes, of which the most important are: folding, or plastination, gastropods and cephalopods. The bivalve head is reduced, the body consists of a body and legs, sink symmetric. Gastropods presents the greatest number of species. Head their separate from the body, the foot - wide politeley sole, sink - asymmetric, sometimes reduced. Cephalopods are the most highly organized shellfish.
Dvustoronnyaya body is divided interception on the head and torso. Mouth surround 8-10 tentacles with suction cups. Sink most forms reduced.
Many species of edible mollusks. Nutritional value of meat M large. In extracts from the muscles cuttlefish and octopus detected amino acids: glycine, alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, serine, threonine, methionine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, tyrosine, phenylalanine, Proline, tryptophan, arginine, lysine, histidine. Meat oysters contains vitamins a, b and C; in the ashes discovered phosphorus, sulfur, calcium, iron, copper. In the meat of mussel and freshwater bivalve found a significant number 7-dehydrocholate-Sterol - provitamin D3. Sink some flour is used for different kinds of products. Some representatives of bivalve - suppliers of pearls. From "ink sack" cephalopods - special gland opening in the rear rectum, mined watercolour paint Sepia. Various species of gastropods Meters are pests of agricultural crops. The bivalve mollusk "ship worm" protecive moves in submerged wooden parts of ships and various port facilities.
The role of M in the epidemiology and natural focality of worm infestation is determined by the fact that many Meters are intermediate hosts of a number of parasitic worms: Fasciola hepatica (see Fasciola C), Dicrocoelium lanceatum (see Dicroceliosis), Opisthorchis felineus (see Opistorhoz), Paragonimus westermani (see Paragonimoz), as well as agents of schistosomiasis (see), etc. While in contaminated seawater edible bivalve M (oysters, mussels) buy toxic properties, vanishing in keeping them clean sea water; concentrating in his body the various bacteria, edible Meters can cause infectious human diseases, including typhoid fever. The destruction of harmful freshwater M contribute hydrotechnical works. To this end, apply various chemicals.
During the examination of lesions epizootic outbreaks or epidemics, distribution and maintenance of which is connected with clams, you must determine what types of Meters to live in the affected area, and also to establish the degree of involvement of each species to spread and maintain invasions. One of the necessary conditions for the eradication of invasions, distributed by certain kinds of Meters, is the destruction of these species, held in parallel with deworming population or Pets.
For the extermination of harmful shellfish tested different methods: physical destruction, the action of toxic substances - molluscicides, biological control. In southern Kazakhstan for the extermination of land snails - intermediate hosts for worms, parasites of livestock, is applied burning of pastures. As molluscicides, suitable for the destruction of freshwater snails, mainly the distribution of schistosomiasis, has long been used copper sulfate (Middle East countries and other); the distribution of human fascioliasis is a small pond snail - destroy the liming of wetlands, pools, ditches and other habitats of the snails (C. I. Cormorants, V. Ya. Pankratova). After many laboratory and field experiments was made the selection of the most toxic to M. chemicals (pentachlorophenolate sodium, pentachlorophenolate copper and others), which have been used to kill the snails on relatively large areas in Japan, the Philippines, Central America. Preliminary tests molluscocides action of organophosphorus drugs on freshwater molluscs, produced in our waters, showed high toxicity of tetraethylpyrophosphate (piropos) and tetraethylpyrophosphate (titeofas), which in the concentration of 0,00001 kill the snails and coils in the period from 3 to 13 days (C. C. Vannikova). With regard to biological methods of struggle with snails, while they are only under study. Such, for example, experiments using some catfish fish for the destruction of snails in fishponds in the Congo, and the first experiments of infection Egyptian snails (distributors of schistosomiasis) Bacillus (Bacillus pinottii), the detrimental effect of which was set against tropical snail Australorbis glabratus (E. Dias, M. Dawood). Very highly toxic for the snails were some antibiotics, such as Milutin, rimoldi, anatomical; the most toxic Milutin, destructive acts on M in dilution 1 : 4 million [Seneca, Bergendal (N. Seneca, E. Bergendahl)].
Mollusks: 1 - bezzubko (Anodonta cellensis); 2 - the common pond snail (Limnaea stagnalis); 3 - poisonous snail (Conus grographus); 4 - mussels (Mytilus edulis; and - leg; b - string);.5 - Zebrina hohenackeri; 6 - a small pond snail (Limnaea truncatula); 7 - Bythynium leachii; in - Melania amurensis.

Melton Kings C lost their unbeaten record when they hosted Kettering Suns, the only other unbeaten team left in Leicestershire League Division Four.
The match started with the two equally matches teams vying for supremacy as points were traded in the opening minutes.
Tamosiunas led Kings' scoring with strong drives to the basket, and Kettering answered with outside shooting as Melton edged ahead 5-4.
Both defences stepped up and there was no more scoring until the eighth minute when Kettering went on a six-point run. Whenham-Bossy hit back with a three-pointer, but the Suns led 12–8 at the end of the period.
Kettering opened the second quarter with a quick two points, but it was turning into a game of attrition as both defences held sway and prevented any scoring for another three minutes.
The visitors established a 19–13 lead, but Haffenden and Tamosiunas scored heavily to put Kings three points ahead going into the last minute of the half.
The lead was short-lived as Kettering's Harris scored a three-pointer to tie the game at 22-all at half-time.
The third quarter continued in the same theme, with strong defence at both ends negating any big inside moves, and preventing scoring attempts.
Strong driving from Tamosiunas was backed up with outside shooting from Haffenden. Kettering turnovers allowed Hunt to fast break as Kings slowly built a four-point lead, but Kettering again scored late in the quarter to tie the match at 37 going into the final period.
Haffenden scored the first points as play restarted, but the game's physicality began to tell on the smaller Kings squad as Kettering's big men began to take control at both ends.
Kings battled on, but where held to only three further points as Kettering ran away with the final quarter to finish comfortable 63-42 winners.
Melton scorers: Tamosiunas 24, Haffenden 7, E. Hunt 6, T. Whenham-Bossy 3, T. Rumbold 2.

I placed a jar in Tennessee,
And round it was, upon a hill.
It made the slovenly wilderness
Surround that hill.
The wilderness rose up to it, And sprawled around, no longer wild. The jar was round upon the ground And tall and of a port in air.
It took dominion everywhere. The jar was gray and bare. It did not give of bird or bush, Like nothing else in Tennessee.

A PUSH is under way to secure a $20m national pilot academy at the Mount Gambier Airport, which could potentially attract hundreds of budding aviators to the city.
This follows the national carrier Qantas announcing plans to establish an academy at an existing regional airfield.
It is understood the airline is canvassing regional areas with airfields that have relatively unrestricted airspace.
Member for Mount Gambier Troy Bell has written to Qantas Group chief executive officer Alan Joyce to lure the academy to the region.
The incumbent MP has also requested a personal meeting with Qantas executives

Canada's PM says Dalai Lama "is not a call girl"
(Well I'm glad we've cleared that up then …..)
OTTAWA (Reuters) – When Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper tried to explain in a year-end interview why he'd met the Dalai Lama in his Ottawa office, it was clear he wanted to show respect for the exiled Tibetan leader.
Unfortunately, it didn't quite come out that way.
"I met the Dalai Lama in my office but I meet everyone in my office. I don't know why I would sneak off to a hotel room just to meet the Dalai Lama. You know, he's not a call girl," Harper told OMNI television.
He quickly added: "As I say, he's a respected international spiritual leader."
China condemns the Dalai Lama as a separatist and presses world leaders to shun him. German Chancellor Angela Merkel met him in September, but only in private, and last month the Vatican called off a meeting with the Pope set for December 13.
Harper is a strong critic of China's human rights record and what he calls the "undemocratic regime" in Beijing.
China condemned Harper for "disgusting conduct" in late October after he met the Dalai Lama in his parliamentary office with television cameras and photographers present.
The Dalai Lama — who fled his predominantly Buddhist homeland in 1959 after a failed uprising against Communist rule — was granted honorary Canadian citizenship in June.
Harper's chief spokeswoman did not respond to a query as to whether the prime minister regretted his choice of words in the interview, which took place on Tuesday but was embargoed until Thursday.

This London project represents pure industrial comfort. Elana Castle reports.
September 16th, 2009
When Australian industrial designer and entrepreneur Adam White walked into a trio of abandoned Victorian buildings in Bermondsey, an industrial neighbourhood in London's "East End", he knew he'd just happened upon the location for his latest gastronomic venture.
Fresh off the success of 'The Garrison Public House', his first gastropub and a popular eatery conveniently located a few blocks away, White wanted to create another restaurant with local flavour but one that would also become a "destination", attracting people from all over the city.
Not fooled by the dilapidated nature of the buildings and the maze of interconnected spaces, White stripped back the layers of plasterboard to reveal rugged brick and concrete that immediately set the tone for his design. '¨
Aptly named Village East, the idea was to create a restaurant with a strong industrial theme, yet without compromising on comfort and practicality. '¨
"I wanted to create a large, impressive environment in which you would find a collection of smaller spaces of varying atmospheres, uses and moods. It was also important that all the spaces flowed and interacted so that you could feel both the excitement of the scale but could also enjoy the intimacy of the smaller areas."
Restricted by a tight budget, White decided to use his own creative skills and design as many of the fittings and fixtures as possible. Inspired by the modernist era and Danish design, "raw, purposeful and utilitarian", White ensured that there was a logic and integrity behind every decision. '¨
The bar was moulded out of strong and durable fire clay slabs that sit in solid concrete. Elements like the warehouse style light fittings, well worn leather sofas and weathered timber floors serve to reinforce the concept and the mood. '¨
White explains, "I was inspired by the saying 'like a beautiful woman without makeup'. That was my motto for the creation of Village East."
