IF THE SHREDDED meniscus in Brandon Roy's knee wasn't enough to rob Blazers fans of sleep, this year's playoff seeding race will likely come down to the final seconds of the season. Since the cruel deadlines of the print media world don't allow us to know for certain whom the Blazers will meet in the opening round of the Western Conference playoffs, we tried using a haphazard collection of mathematically precise stats, along with the power of prayer, but we give up. Considering the absolutely baffling NBA tiebreaker rules, it's impossible to accurately predict this sort of thing. Instead, we're just going to trust our instincts (yes, the very same instincts that, when presented with nearly the exact same scenario a year ago, predicted the Blazers wouldn't play the Houston Rockets) and list the three teams Portland is most likely to see when the playoffs tip off this weekend.
Denver Nuggets
Advantages of Playing the Nuggets: While hardly a matchup the Blazers will welcome, Denver has been known to meltdown in fiery displays of oncourt bellyaching and streaky shooting; the same bravado that helps this team play with a carefree level of confidence is also their weakness. Although they'll have the homecourt advantage, the Nuggets are the only Western Conference playoff team to have a losing record on the road. Plus, with Denver, the likely absence of Roy will hurt Portland less than expected, since the Blazers' lone all-star struggled against the Nuggets all season long. Another reason why Portland wants Denver: The Mile High altitude makes the Blazers bench players feel like they are doing whip-its.
Disadvantages of Playing the Nuggets: Portland Coach Nate McMillan insists that the Blazers can play with the division champion Nuggets, but perhaps he hasn't relayed this message to his team. So far this season the Blazers have dropped three of four games with Denver, and barely shot 40 percent from the field in those losses. Also, the Nuggets never lose at home (just seven times on the year), and thanks to that aforementioned thin Rocky Mountain air, they have one of the best homecourt advantages in the league. It should also be mentioned that their mascot, Rocky the Mountain Lion, looks eerily similar to detestable Blaze the Trail Cat. It's just the same stupid costume with a different jersey on it.
Phoenix Suns
Advantages of Playing the Suns: There are plenty. The Suns are a favorable playoff foe for the Blazers, since their reckless offense-first, defense-whenever style of play has a track record for fizzling in the postseason. Phoenix is the only playoff option less physical than the Blazers, and while the Suns like to open up the court and run, the Blazers are younger, with fresher legs. Disadvantages of Playing the Suns: The Suns have experience in the postseason, and with the exception of Marcus Camby, the Blazers definitely do not. If you take Camby out of the equation, the combined Blazers roster has about 1200 less playoff minutes than Steve Nash alone. Also, don't forget that Amar'e Stoudemire is in a contract year, and after Hedo Turkoglu turned a good postseason run into a maximum contract last season, the Suns big man will have something to prove on national television.
Utah Jazz
Advantages of Playing the Jazz: NONE.
Disadvantages of Playing the Jazz: The sport of basketball. This is the worst-case scenario for the Blazers, since Utah has humiliated Portland four previous times this year. They are everything the Blazers are not, plus their physical, elbow-tossing ways under the basket will force us to start referring to the delicately tender LaMarcus Aldridge as "LaMarshmallow." No one wants that. Truth be told no player in his right mind wants to go to Utah. You can't even buy real beer there.


text: The U14Ds started their match against Haileybury as they meant to go on, with Tom Berry running straight through the opposition to score with the first play of the game. Although Haileybury never gave up, and improved their tackling as the game went on, St John's stuck to the task and did the basics well to keep the score ticking over. Tries for Tom Berry, Joe Wright, Josh Newby (2), Fred Wood, Henry Walton (2), Josh Sims and Alex O'Brien meant the game finished 55-0. All the boys played well and the intensity did not drop. The Ds will now look to keep the momentum going and finish the season strongly against KCS Wimbledon and Epsom.

John, right, is the Creative Director for Universal Studios Hollywood, while Chris, at left, in Universal Studios' Art Director. At ScareLA in Pasadena, in August, they announced a new maze for Universal's 2015 edition of "Halloween Horror Nights".
The capacity crowd saw the preview slide and screamed with joy.
This year, John and Chris have designed a new haunt based on the 1978 John Carpenter classic film, "Halloween".
This is the first time since 2009 that Universal Studios has had a "Halloween"-themed maze. John and Chris told the audience that an important consideration, intheir design, was getting the "1970s" look and feel just right.
After their presentation, John and Chris talked about their experiences creating the new haunt, entitled, "Halloween: Michael Myers Comes Home".
Welcome to the start of a month of Over Coffee® Halloween-themed programming! (And, BOO!)
In this episode of Over Coffee®, you'll hear:

Amundsen confesses a similar problem with feet:
most important is the covering of the feet, for the feet are the most exposed members and the most difficult to protect. One can look after the hands; if they are cold it is easy to beat them into warmth again. Not so with the feet; they are covered up in the morning, and this is sufficiently troublesome piece of work to make one disinclined to undo it again until one is turning in. They cannot be seen in the course of the day, and one has to depend entirely on feeling; but feeling in this case often plays curious tricks. How often has it happened that men have had their feet frozen without knowing it! For had they known it, they could not possibly have let it go so far. The fact is that in this case sensation is a somewhat doubtful guide, for the feet lose all sensation. It is true that there is a transitional stage, when one feels the cold smarting in one's toes, and tries to get rid of it by stamping the feet. As a rule this is successful; the warmth returns, or the circulation is restored; but occasionally it happens that sensation is lost at the very moment when those precautions are taken. And then one must be an old hand to know what has happened. Many men conclude that, as they no longer feel the unpleasant smarting sensation, all is well; and at the evening inspection a frozen foot of tallow-like appearance presents itself. An event of this kind may ruin the most elaborately prepared enterprise, and it is therefore advisable in the matter of feet to carry ones' caution to lengths which may seem ridiculous.

The birth of babies to teen-age mothers peaked in 1991. Today births by teen-age mothers are less than half of what they were then.
Experts do not agree on why it is going down. The lower rate is not the same everywhere. Nor is it the same for different segments of the population.
There were sharp decreases for black and Hispanic teens. But their rates stayed much higher than that of white teens. The other big differences relate to location, education and income.
The biggest challenge is within certain U.S. counties. These are counties with higher rates of people who are out of work. They also have lower incomes and poorer educations. Most of these counties are in the South and Southwest.
What is going on? There are several reasons. More teens are practicing abstinence (not having sex). Birth control is generally more available. New methods of contraception are available. There is more sex education in schools. The Internet has made it easier for everyone to access information.
Some experts say the decline in births is not linked to abortions.
Experts even point to a popular MTV show, "16 and Pregnant." It shows young girls and women struggling with being mothers. They are often in tears. Millions of young people have watched the show. Teen-age births dropped after the show went on the air.
The nation's biggest welfare program ended in 1996. It is much harder to get aid. An expert noted that teens are keen observers of the world around them. For some, their own families had to do more with less. It may make some teens more cautious about risky behaviors.
Big differences in teen-age birth rates remain. But teens are going in the right direction.

These types of sites are known as scams. These sites collect your money but they donot deliver the product. There are two kinds of scam websites; first the websites which sell medicine with the wrong label as a genuine research chemical and it can have very disastrous and harmful effects, second the websites which sell the right chemicals when they have the stock or they manually change the label and sell it as a genuine chemical.
There are number of things which a chemical researcher should keep in mind while planning to buy any chemical from such sites. Some of them have been brought down for your convenience.
Prefer your friends recommendation or the one that your family member or relative suggest as they must have some experienced regarding the purchase of chemical through online sites. They will be able to provide you a list of sites which they found good for the purchase of research chemicals. Other than this you should also look for recommendations from different forums as the forum members also provide good information regarding such sites.
Look for security measures Utilization of low quality chemicals will not only lead to inaccurate experiments but it's also regarded very dangerous. Precise chemicals are for use in particular form of environment and are to be stored in correct containers to be certain the safeguard of a researcher. So before purchasing the chemicals it is very imperative to affirm how and the place they will be used best then it will have to be bought.
There are specified sellers which sell every variety of product, a special product will not be on hand on any different website however it's going to be with ease available to you from them. You must be conscious of such agents as it could actually occur that they are perhaps promoting misguided product. You ought to be aware of that if a vendor is selling a product which is not available to anyone on the moment it may be a false one.
Look for the terms and stipulations provided by the agents, whether the seller has mentioned each element on its internet site. You have got to also see that the vendor uses a third occasion payment approach, who uses a secure gateway (SSL encryption) to method your card details? To affirm this you could determine in the URL bar of the page wherein you are about to put up your payment details that the web URL includes 'https' and not 'http' as the prefix.
Most important thing you need to find out is are there any hidden costs involved? Always check if the seller charges extra for the packaging and postal and see that it is not very high. It is impossible for a buyer to know that the website from which he is willing to buy the products is a genuine one so it is better to buy a test product before placing the order in a bulk amount.

MNsure Interim CEO Scott Leitz

MNsure's interim CEO says Minnesota's online health insurance exchange is stable, secure and successful.
According to an advance copy of his testimony before a congressional panel Thursday, Scott Leitz says it's not news that MNsure's rollout was rocky last October. But he says he took immediate action after he became interim CEO in December. He says software problems have been resolved and call center wait times came way down by the time open enrollment closed Monday.
However, members of congress wanted to know more about the past. They brought up thousands of dollars in bonuses paid to managers prior to MNsure's rollout.
"Those bonuses were approved by the previous executive director," Leitz said.
Congress members also asked if anything had been done to claw back those bonuses. Leitz said "not to date, no."
Leitz also says MNsure is in the process of selecting a lead vendor to further address its software problems with the goal of making future open enrollment periods a better experience for consumers.
MNsure's enrollment period for 2015 starts in November.
The Republican chairman of the House Oversight Committee asked representatives from several state-run exchanges that have faced start-up troubles to testify Thursday.

FAMILIES and workers on low pay are facing a "tax bombshell" stemming from changes to tax, benefits and tax credits which come into force tomorrow, it was claimed today.
Scottish Labour said families with children will lose an average of £511 a year from the changes announced in last month's Budget, according to figures from the financial thinktank, the Institute of Fiscal Studies.
The party said more than 73,000 families on "modest and middle incomes" will lose all of their Child Tax Credit and up to 11,000 working couples earning less than £17,000 per year will lose all of their Working Tax Credit – worth up to £3870 per year – if they cannot increase their working hours.
Edinburgh South Labour MP Ian Murray said the number of families losing tax credit from tomorrow is "shocking".
He claims 5570 families in the Capital will be worse off.

Real estate agents in Ontario will choose to park their real estate license because they have a personal change happening in their life. The change could be serious, like an accident or sickness that prohibits them from working in realty sales. Maybe it has nothing to do with them directly but to someone close to them that will need their support. A real estate career in Ontario is very time consuming and painstaking with daily activities and hence helping a loved one may mean leaving real estate sales for an undetermined amount of time.
Hopefully the Ontario real estate agent is thinking of leaving the sales business for a while for a much more positive reason. Reasons like, maternity leave for a year or two, another career move in or out of the Province or Country, retirement, a well deserved sabbatical, an extended vacation, starting a family business, accepting a corporate job, or just plain old tired of selling real estate in Ontario and needs to get away from sales and take a break away from the hustle and bustle.
Parking your real estate agents license in Ontario Canada is quite inexpensive. These days, there are Brokerages offering this service popping up everywhere. The prudent Ontario real estate agent will research his or her choices and should consider the longevity of existing license holding Brokerages before they join and register.
When a real estate agent in Ontario decides to hang their realty license, they have really made the choice to keep their RECO registration in force and active so that it does not lapse and then eventually get terminated. If this happens, that license is gone for good and to get it back means having to earn it all over again.
If you are thinking of becoming inactive as an Ontario career real estate agent, look into parking it with the right Brokerage for you. Choose a Broker that will support you even when you need to sell or buy real estate in Ontario for your own personal use.

2. The legal framework for the security mechanisms created in the B.I.A.
How a security mechanism is designated is only one aspect of the problems raised by its inclusion in the B.I.A. When Parliament creates a security mechanism, as it does in the B.I.A., it must not only do so in an area that in principle is governed by provincial private law, but must do it taking into account its own self-imposed rules. These rules concern, first, the creation of a security mechanism, second, the granting of a right of preference and, third, realizing on the security.
2.1. The creation of securities on property
In principle, in Quebec, legal hypothecs take effect by registration.[51] As an exception, the C.C.Q. recognizes that a legal hypothec may be created as of right without publication. This is true for a builder's legal hypothec.[52] However, the hypothec is extinguished if the holder fails to publish it in the appropriate register within thirty days after the work has been completed.[53] It may subsist by publication of a notice but is extinguished after six months unless the creditor, in order to preserve the hypothec, publishes an action against the owner of the immovable or registers a prior notice of the exercise of the hypothecary right.[54]
With regard to the securities on property granted to the Crown, Parliament imposes, in the case of a bankruptcy or a proposal, a special condition for the validity of securities granted to it under a federal or provincial statute.[55] Under subsection 87(1) of the B.I.A., for a security to be valid, it must be registered in the appropriate register[56] before the earliest of the dates listed.[57] The obligation to register securities on property to protect the claims of the Crown probably derives from Parliament's intention to treat creditors equally. It follows that a trustee in bankruptcy would not recognize a security on property expressly granted to the Crown unless it appeared on the appropriate register or if had been registered after the earliest of the dates listed in subsection 87(1) of the B.I.A. The Crown would then rank as an unsecured creditor.[58]
The issue of the validity of the securities on property granted to the Crown by Parliament or a provincial legislature raises an interesting problem with respect to the security provided for in subsection 14.06(7) of the B.I.A. The purpose of this security mechanism is to guarantee payment of Crown claims for the costs of remedying environmental damage, for example when corporations discharge large quantities of pollutants into rivers. In Quebec, when this type of environmental pollution occurs, the ministère de l'Environnement du Québec may clean up the pollution if it considers it necessary to do so, particularly on private immovables.[59] The Ministère may then claim the cleanup costs by presenting the invoice to the property owners.[60] If the owner of a property thus cleaned up by the Ministère becomes bankrupt or
makes a proposal, the claim by the Ministère is immediately secured by a immovable security on the immovable of the debtor that is contiguous thereto; this security guarantees payment of the claim by the Ministère, which ranks above any other claim. The claim by the Ministère is enforceable
"in the same way as a mortgage, hypothec or other security on real property".
Parliament does not expressly require registration for the security so created to be valid. Should the general obligation of registration in subsection 87(1) of the B.I.A. be relied upon? There are three possibilities to consider. First, the nature of the principal rights giving rise to the Crown's claim; second, the technical problems due to the moment of birth of this security and, finally, the exceptional nature of this security.
The nature of the principal rights giving rise to the claim
It has been claimed that the registration rule imposed on the Crown for its securities, although it is not expressly excluded in subsection 14.06(7) of the B.I.A., would not apply in this case since the Crown's rights would be in the nature of an interest in land.[61]
"Interests in land" do not have to be registered at common law.[62] In Quebec, where dual domain is recognized, the situation is quite different.[63] It would appear that the rule of registering securities granted to the Crown on property should apply. In this case, there would be a real discrepancy between the situation in Quebec and that in the other provinces. But there may also be other problems.
The technical problems flowing from the date of birth of the security
For technical reasons, it may be wondered whether the Crown could comply with the registration obligation imposed on it. According to subsection 87(1) of the B.I.A., in order for the Crown to take advantage of its security, it would have to have registered it before one of the times listed: the date the petition is filed against the debtor, the date the debtor makes an assignment, the date the debtor files a notice of intention or the date on which a proposal is filed. It must be remembered, however, that the security granted the Crown to secure repayment of the cost of remedial action is not created until the date on which a proposal is filed or the date on which the debtor declares bankruptcy. In other words, this security is not created until after one of the dates listed in subsection 87(1) of the B.I.A. It may then be wondered how the Crown could have registered that security in advance? How could it register a security device that is not yet created in order to comply with the times imposed by Parliament? There indeed is a technical problem. But there is still another aspect to consider.
The exceptional nature of the security
Parliament gives the Crown almost absolute top ranking for the latter's claim for costs of remedying environmental damage. This preference is granted
"notwithstanding any other provision of this Act or anything in any other federal or provincial law." The use of
"notwithstanding" terminology would appear to indicate that the intent of Parliament was to give the Crown a particular treatment, which could probably be explained by the public interest significance of government intervention in a case of environmental damage. However, it might be asked what the position of a trustee in bankruptcy would be in such a claim if the Crown had failed to register its security in accordance with the procedure set out in subsection 87(1) of the B.I.A. Would the exceptional nature of this security be sufficient to ensure recognition of its validity despite the subsection 87(1) obligation to register?[64] We submit that it would.
In conclusion, it is well to point out the absence of any reference to a registration obligation for the security granted to farmers, fishermen and aquaculturists as well as that granted to an interim receiver.[2] In the latter case, the procedure whereby the security is created is still more uncertain for the civilian lawyer since it depends on judicial discretion.
2.2. Granting a preference
Since the reform of the Civil Code in 1994, the sole reasons in the C.C.Q. for a preference are prior claims—a legal security—and hypothecs—a legal or conventional security. In applying the B.I.A., it is necessary to refer to the scheme of distribution set out in subsection 136(1) of the B.I.A., which establishes the ranking of the various creditors, subject to the rights of secured creditors.[66] If the claim of the secured creditors is not listed in subsection 136(1) of the B.I.A., then the secured creditors may choose to participate in the bankruptcy insofar as their claim is presented in the prescribed form,[67] or they may enforce their security under provincial law, in which case the preferences provided in the provincial legislation will apply.[68] However, the B.I.A. grants to the federal and provincial Crowns, the interim receiver, farmers, fishermen and aquaculturalists, securities that give them preference over the rights of other creditors.
A preference that ranks ahead of the rights of other creditors
To illustrate, Parliament provides in subsection 14.06(7) of the B.I.A. that
"notwithstanding any other provision of this Act or anything in any other federal or provincial law," the claim of the Crown in relation to environmental damage that is secured by a charge gives it first preference.[69] The use of the words
"[the charge] ranks above any other claim, right or charge against the property" indicates Parliament's intention to ensure that no other security can rank higher than the Crown's. The purpose of this is to keep other creditors from benefiting from a windfall gain due to the increase in the value of the immovable as a result of the remedial action. This superiority applies whether or not the claim arises before or after the bankruptcy and whether or not the Crown participates in the bankruptcy.[70] Moreover, it confers a ranking higher than that given
hypothecary creditors who registered their claims previously in the land register in respect of contiguous immovables of the debtor.[71] This means that the benefits conferred by a civil law hypothec are subordinate to repayment of the Crown's claim for the costs of remedying the environmental damage.[72]
A preference that ranks ahead of the bank's claim
The security attributed to the interim receiver for repayment of his expenses and fees also confers a preferential ranking, if the Court permits.[73] This gives the interim receiver a preference over all the secured creditors,[74] including a bank that holds a bank guarantee.[75] The court must however ensure that the secured creditors have been notified. Before making an order, it may allow them to make representations.[76] The determination of the security may be effected at the hearing for the appointment of an interim receiver or at a subsequent hearing.[77]
A preference that ranks ahead of the claims of the Crown secured by deemed trusts
Subsection 81.2(1) of the B.I.A. creates a security for the benefit of farmers, fishermen and aquaculturists to secure their claims in respect of the unpaid amount of the products that they have delivered to the debtor who has become bankrupt or made a proposal.[78] This security charges all the inventory of or held by the purchaser. It is in addition to the right of repossession provided for in subsection 81.1(1) of the B.I.A.[79] It provides an almost absolute security for the repayment of the farmer, fisherman or aquaculturalist. In fact, this security gives the latter a preferential right over any other claim, right, charge—regardless of when it arose—against the purchaser's inventory.[80] In addition, it ranks ahead of the Crown's rights in respect of its deemed trust for its tax claims.[81] Interestingly enough, the deemed trust was created so that it would prevail over the sui generis right of ownership of the banks that follows the guarantee provided for in section 427 of the Bank Act.[82] In theory, it should follow that the inventory secured by the charge does not form part of the bankrupt's property.
In fact, only the supplier's right to repossession of the goods under subsection 81.1(1) of the B.I.A. takes precedence over the preference conferred by subsection 81.2(1) of the B.I.A. Lastly, subsection 81.2(1) of the B.I.A. specifies that if the disposition of the bankrupt's property causes the value of the bankrupt's entire inventory to be decreased below the value of the latters' claim, the trustee himself is liable for the amounts covered by that security.[83]
The creation of these securities interferes with the benefits granted under Quebec civil law to hypothecary creditors. They are, in sum,
"super-preferences" that benefit some creditors to the detriment of the others, despite the secured creditor status granted them under the B.I.A., including, with regard to the charge granted to farmers, fishermen and aquaculturalists, the Crown, despite the
"super-preference" created by the deemed trust. In the latter case, the property on which the security can be realized is simply removed from the patrimony of the debtor even before it is transferred to the trustee in bankruptcy to administer the bankruptcy. In the case of the security granted to the interim receiver, the latter only has to apply to the court to obtain a preference over the rights of such secured creditors as the banks. In fact, it is only the Crown's realizing on the security granted it in respect of its claims relating to environmental damage that raises
questions from the standpoint of provincial private law. That is the next topic to be covered.
2.3. The exercise of remedies
In 1994, the Quebec legislature considerably amended the law of security on property and, in particular, the rights related to the exercise of the hypothecary remedies. In sum, it extended the rules relating to the exercise of these remedies to certain contracts such as the trust by onerous title established by contract to secure the performance of an obligation,[84] the sale with right of redemption to secure a loan,[85] and instalment sales involving the published reservation of property.[86] It follows that the differences between
"security ownership",
"security trusts" and
"traditional securities" have been considerably lessened.[87]
The system of hypothecary remedies established by the Quebec legislature provides four types of remedies: taking possession for purposes of administration,[88] taking in payment,[89] sale by the creditor by public auction, by agreement or by a call for tenders[90] and sale by judicial authority.[91] The exercise of these remedies must, however, be preceded by the issuance of prior notice of the creditor's intention to avail himself of one of the remedies against the debtor after twenty days, in the case of a movable property, or after sixty days, in the case of an immovable property.[92]
Where a debtor becomes bankrupt or files a proposal, the hypothecary creditor will be considered as a secured creditor for the purposes of a bankruptcy case.[93] He may realize on his security, subject to the stay provided for in sections 69 to 69.31 of the B.I.A., as if he were a stranger to the bankruptcy.[94] There are, however, two exceptions to this principle: the specific features that Parliament gives the securities it creates in its own legislation and the obligations to act honestly and in good faith provided for in Part XI of the Act.
The special features given by Parliament to the security it creates in its own legislation
Under subsection 14.06(7) of the B.I.A., the Crown could decide not to take part in the bankruptcy and to realize on the security protecting its claim for the costs of remedying the damage caused to the environment—as Parliament provides,
"in accordance with the law of the jurisdiction in which the real property is located, in the same way as a mortgage, hypothec or other security."[95] What does this mean? Should it be concluded that this is a reference to provincial private law in the area of securities on property? Do the rules governing hypothecary rights, in particular, apply?
It has been argued that, despite Parliament's apparently explicit intent, the realisation of this security
"in the same way as a mortgage", presents certain problems of a substantive nature.[96] Under provincial private law, the debtor's failure to pay a debt or perform an obligation allows hypothecary creditors to realize on their security. [97] But in this case, what allows the Crown to realize upon its security is the fact that the debtor has become bankrupt or has filed a proposal. However, could it not be considered that, by reason of the fact that he is insolvent, the debtor is de facto in default?[98] The difficulty stems from the fact that the security is not created until after the debtor's insolvency or bankruptcy.
The Crown could, in principle, assert its
"super-preference" securing its claim for remedial costs on the gross realizable value of the property charged.[99] The trustee in bankruptcy, in order to protect the assets' interests, may try to recover any surplus generated by the sale of the immovable by the Crown.[100] This may prove to be a delicate transaction because of the fluctuations in the value of the property that, first, has been environmentally damaged and, then, remedied by the Crown.
The obligation to act with honesty and good faith in Part XI of the Act
Since 1992, the B.I.A. has contained provisions governing the exercise of the remedies of secured creditors. Parliament imposes on secured creditors obligations of honesty and good faith in administering and liquidating the debtor's property.[101] However, such rules do not apply until a receiver takes possession of the debtor's property in order to administer it.
Parliament defines in subsection 243(2) of the B.I.A.
"receiver" within the meaning of Part XI of the B.I.A.[102] There are two basic aspects to this definition. First, the receiver described is the one who takes possession of the property of an insolvent debtor. Second, the receiver must be appointed under a court order or a security agreement. The definition is worded ambiguously, however, and permits of two contradictory interpretations.
On a broad and liberal construction, the words
"a person who has been appointed to take (…) [possession of the property]", on the one hand, and
"or has taken" on the other hand, present a conceptual alternative: the traditionally accepted concept of a receiver and what would appear to be a new concept of a
"receiver". Thus, the
"receiver" described in this definition can be the one who is traditionally appointed under a security agreement or court order, but he may also be a creditor who simply takes possession of the property that forms part of the security agreement in order to realize upon it.
According to the narrow interpretation, on the other hand, subsection 243(2) of the B.I.A. refers only to the traditional receiver. It follows that the
"receiver" described in this definition is the one who takes possession of the property of an insolvent debtor in conformity with a security agreement or a court order.[103]
These were the arguments submitted to Baynton J. of the Saskatchewan Court of Queen's Bench.[104] Baynton J. began by acknowledging the merits of the two interpretations, but then opted for the narrow interpretation. Taking into account the purposes of Part XI of the B.I.A., he added, however, that a secured creditor could be a
"receiver" as defined in subsection 243(2) of the B.I.A. provided that he was appointed under a security agreement or a court order to take possession of the property of his debtor.
Applied to Quebec, this would mean that subsection 243(2) of the B.I.A. could not apply to the situation of hypothecary creditors.[105] The legal basis for hypothecary creditors to enforce their rights in the event of the debtor's default is not found in a contract of security or a court order but in the C.C.Q. itself.[106] It could be added that the use of the concept of
"receiver" in the context of subsection 243(2) of the B.I.A. probably refers to a concept that was traditionally recognized solely in common law. The sequestrator under civil law is more akin to a depositary.[107] In civil law, the provisions governing the administration of the property of another apply.[108]
The method of realizing on the securities described in subsection 243(2) of the B.I.A. was, in Quebec, the taking of possession of a company under a trust deed in order to liquidate the debtor's inventories, accounts receivable and assets. The S.P.C.A. permitted a trust deed to be created for the benefit of the obligees under which they could enter into possession of the property of the debtor issuer and administer or liquidate it should the debtor default.[109] However, the disappearance of the trust deed with the reform of the Civil Code can give the impression that Part XI of the B.I.A. is a dead letter in Quebec.[110]
However, this blunt statement must be qualified. In the first place, there are creditors in Quebec with securities under other legislation besides the C.C.Q. that can be realized on by the intervention of a
In the second place, some rules in Part XI apply to all creditors with claims secured by a security. Subsection 244(1) of the B.I.A. imposes on all secured creditors the obligation to send a notice to an insolvent creditor before executing on their security.[112] In particular, a secured creditor cannot execute on his security before the expiration of a ten-day period.[113] The C.C.Q., however, provides for the immediate surrender of the debtor's property where there is reason to fear that otherwise recovery of his claim may be endangered, or where the property may perish or deteriorate rapidly.[114] At first glance, there would appear to be an inconsistency between the possibility of obtaining an immediate surrender of the debtor's property and the obligation to provide 10 day's notice under subsection 244(1) of the B.I.A.[115]
Another comment concerns the defence under section 252 of the B.I.A. Parliament allows the secured creditor in any proceeding, where it is alleged that a secured creditor or a receiver contravened one of the obligations under Part XI of the B.I.A. (for example, concerning the sending of a notice under section 244 of the B.I.A.), to show that he had reasonable grounds to believe that the debtor was not insolvent. This section is addressed to the secured creditor himself and to the receiver defined in subsection 243(2) of the B.I.A., which means that this defence is open to any secured creditor even if he does not qualify as a
It is apparent that the exercise of the remedies to which Parliament refers for realization of the security it grants the Crown for its claims related to environmental damage raises some questions because of the hybrid and exceptional nature of this security. The application of Part XI of the B.I.A. is limited in Quebec to the rare cases where creditors whose claim is secured by a security on property exercise their remedy against a debtor by appointing a receiver under a security agreement. An example might be a bank with a bank guarantee whose remedies do not appear in section 427 of the Bank Act. but in the security agreement.
General conclusions
After this rapid overview of the situation created by Parliament's introduction of new security mechanisms in the B.I.A., we can offer a few comments in lieu of a conclusion. From the terminological point of view, it is not incorrect to assert that the word
"charge" designates a hypothec. However, in order to avoid confusion with the common law meaning of
"charge", it would be preferable to use the terminology recognized by the C.C.Q.;
"sûretés" or
"garantie" for example.
From the standpoint of substantive rights, while Parliament has sufficient jurisdiction over bankruptcy and insolvency to put in place any security mechanism that it desires, nevertheless, by creating security mechanisms outside those provided for in provincial private law and Quebec civil law in particular, it confuses relationships among creditors. However, for creditors to be reasonably able to govern their conduct, some stability is required in the legal framework in which they operate. An analysis of some of the security devices created by Parliament in the B.I.A. seems to show, however, that creditors' rights are subject to significant variations in terms of the rules for setting up, preferences and remedies. Such variations are probably a matter for concern in the legal community. The harmonization program implemented by the Department of Justice Canada cannot serve as a forum to address these concerns except by respecting in the federal legislative corpus the terminology and concepts in force in Quebec private law.
These questions, and many more, are presently the subject of studies within the Justice Department in collaboration with Industry Canada.

Hmmmm! Sounds like it's too warm Eric's Mum.......
i wouldnt be misting over winter either.
It's just the way I walk Runny
Spellin pp?
grew great clumps of agapanthus years ago in good rich soil and they flowered like mad. Never really convinced when I read they should be congested to flower well. I replaced them simply because they took up so much space. Down here fields of blue agapanthus can be seen...growing uncongested?
The last time I had those computer scan calls I sang a silly song....on and on and on. Trouble is they rang again. And again. And again. And again. "Sing that song again" the guy said. Lost my temper. And they kept ringing. Had to get them blocked by Talk Talk and investigated.
Thought I was very clever. Thought it was funny. So..lesson learned. Best not to answer or say you don't have a computer.
so warm again......almost hot in the garden as I worked. No wind either. Supposed to be dry for quite a while too Glorious spell .
no, Runny, not born out there but was there from about 3 to about 9 I suppose. Had a real aussie accent for several years. The girls seemed to like it. ......no Neighbours, etc., on the box so an aussie accent was so different. Three brothers all as blond as milk, tanned and, well, different. Kept that accent well into my twenties.. Sorry Pat....still want us to beat the Aussies
Rub them off C3k. And do this whenever you see any in the future. They are growths from the rootstock and they will eventually take over your chosen variety
How do they get in Jo? Can you squeeze some wire netting etc in suspected gaps? Or a wooden box or two with mesh or glass covers?
Beautiful day....the sun is " very warm".....but there is a cooler feel.
hiya Pat. 28 degrees . I remember my time as a young child in Aussie land being whipped by a very hot sandstorm on the beach. Remember the contrast landing in England in the middle of winter too....dark, cold, dismal and wondering why on earth we came here
contemplating a new group of plants...to me anyway....and another grass. Will take a cuppa out there and excogitate.....I will consider my options too
Not annuals but they are short term perennials.
Dont cut back whilst you can enjoy their flowers. Then cut back stems a few inches from the base. you should see plenty of new shoots at the base
Chris, bonariensis here are 7 to 8' tall. All are seedlings from last year. I always dig mine up ...plant wallflowers in their place.......and pot up seedlings
Hardy or not the very best treatment is to overwinter in an unheared greemhouse Jo.
plants will grow better and not be checked by bad weather or pests. Come mid spring those plants will be twice the size they are now and ready for planting out

Dear Reston Hounds,
My mother in law has requested that we make instead of buy gifts this year. And I only make reservations, please help! My brother and sister in law are moving to Reston in January. I would like your assistance in making them a list of the best grocery stores, specialty stores (wine, coffee, cheese), take out/delivery joints, bakeries, grown-up restaurants for dates and casual restaurants where my nephew (17 mos.) would also be welcome, to ease their transition.
Many thanks in advance and happy holidays to all.


text: I don't know what is happening but I think I will have a tough time compeeting with the haywire people. The economy still isn't doing that well and now we are getting people jumping into the landscaping and mini excavating thinking they are going to strike it rich. A couple guys they are buying this old junk and trying to get in the mini excavating business. Their hoe is okay but its the trucks they are buying to haul with and trailers. The market is flooded with mini excavators for hire what makes these people think they are going to get work. People are jumping on the being self-employeed bandwagon so they are getting into landscaping or mini excavating etc. Heard today another guy getting into the junk removal business and his truck is a real POS. The worst part is these guys will be working for cheap to get work and end up driving the rates down and there will be no profit. Once these fly by night haywire people end up going broke then the long term guys are fighting to get the rates back up.

East Ukrainian rebels say shelling heavy around Donetsk stronghold

DONETSK Ukraine (Reuters) - Pro-Russian separatists said on Thursday heavy shelling hit several neighbourhoods around the rebel stronghold of Donetsk in eastern Ukraine where government forces are trying to tighten their grip.
Separatist Internet news outlet Novorossiya said Ukrainian forces hit targets in the Leninsky region of Donetsk and had struck regions to the east and southwest of the city in previous days.
The news outlet said the areas hardest hit were Makiyivka's Hirnitsky neighbourhood as well as areas between Donetsk and Dokuchaevsk which lies south of the city.
There was no information on casualties. The United Nations on Wednesday put the overall death toll among Ukrainian forces, rebels and civilians at more than 2,000 since the beginning of the conflict in April when separatists seized state buildings across eastern Ukraine.
Ukrainian troops have been slowly encircling Donetsk, the regional hub with a peace-time population of nearly a million.
A Reuters reporter had heard several volleys of artillery there late on Tuesday and Wednesday.
A Russian aid convoy, which has aroused Kiev suspicions of a possible covert military action, was snaking its way through southern Russia, apparently heading to Rostov-on-Don, a Reuters witness said.
Rostov-on-Don is about 60 km (37 miles) from the Ukrainian border, parts of which are under rebel control on the Ukrainian side.
The pro-Western Ukrainian government and its Western allies accuse Moscow of arming the separatists who have set up 'people's republics' in Ukraine and say they want to join Russia. Moscow, while voicing support for the rebels, has denied it is arming them.
The Ukrainian government on Wednesday denounced the dispatch of the Russian convoy of 280 trucks as an act of "cynicism" and is insisting it be subject to tight controls and international supervision across the border into Ukraine.

When I first offered this, part of me wanted to believe we'd stop doing this to one another. I saw a graphic the other day on the number of Americans who have died in gun violence since the tragic murders at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, on this date three years ago. The number was so large I think my brain refused to remember it.
That's NOT the saddest part, as San Bernardino underscores. For me, it's that we choose to mourn those whose lives are ended suddenly and senselessly instead of attempting to work to keep it from happening again or over and over again. With that as a wind at your back….
As an oldest child, I spend a lot of time fretting over what is and what could have been, often failing badly to see my role and responsibility in moving from the former to the latter.
Today is an anniversary of sorts for something so many of us couldn't grasp when it happened, and, I confess, I still didn't "get" any better than when we observed its first anniversary. Today I don't think we're any closer to understanding.
I'm not any smarter today than I was except to realize that I'm not any smarter. And I am also no closer to understanding now than I was then. All I can offer are words I offered, this time, last year and they remain as inadequate as they were in marking that gruesome anniversary at that time.
I cannot imagine how long this day is for a parent who suffered the loss of a child, a husband of a wife, a son or daughter of a parent, but I do know that today in Newtown, Connecticut, everyone trying to heal will hurt all over again.
Everywhere we turn today will be accounts recounting everything that everyone will ever know about an unthinkable tragedy that happened one year ago today but there is one thing we, with all of our research and analysis, will never know.
For a small town whose residents will always have broken hearts that can never heal, today is just the next day in a tragedy that will only end when all memory of what happened has gone. And that will never happen.
Even if you have a problem with God, or in my case S/He with me, perhaps a truce is in order so that you can remember the twenty-six angels who entered heaven this day three years ago.

Thinking About a Divorce? Three Things to Do in Advance
Divorce is never fun. But you can make things easier on yourself if you prepare:
Weigh the Trial of Your Case in Economic and Non-Economic Terms. Sure you want to win, but don't let the desire to "best" your ex in a competition cloud your judgement. Remember, the romance is gone, and now it's just a matter of money and custody. It doesn't make sense to spend money to get what was offered to you before trial, and being stubborn can result in getting grilled by an attorney about your drug use, DUI, gambling habit or porn viewing.
Take An Inventory of Household Items. You will need to inventory the stuff that has to be divided. You also may need to prove what has been removed or destroyed. If nothing else, walk through the house with a video camera and video everything. You'll find it helpful when you have to create the list.
Keep a Divorce Diary. Notes that you make about your Ex's actions or failures to act at that particular time, have much more credibility in court than notes you create after the fact. Whenever your soon-to-be Ex fails to pay support, forgets to pick up the kids, does not follow existing court orders or does anything negative, write it down when it happens. If you don't, you'll wish you had, and if you try to write it down later, you'll just look vindictive.

Walgreen (WAG) recently declared a 28.6% hike in its regular quarterly dividend to 22.5 cents per share. It is encouraging to note that the company has been paying dividends for more than 79 years and the recent hike marks the 36th consecutive quarter of dividend increase for the company.
Although the current dividend-payout ratio is 30% for fiscal 2011, the company has set a long-term dividend payout target of 30%-35% of net earnings. Over the last five years, Walgreen's dividend has grown at a compound annual growth rate of 23.8%.
At the end of second quarter 2012, Walgreens had $1.08 billion in cash and cash equivalents, compared with $2.2 billion at the end of February 2010. Year-to-date, the company's net cash provided by operating activities was $1.8 million.
With a strong cash position, the company always strives to benefit its shareholders through dividend payments and share repurchases. During the last reported quarter, the company returned $570 million to its shareholders through share repurchases and dividend payments compared with $462 million in the year-ago quarter.
Moreover, the healthy cash balance enables the company to pursue suitable acquisitions, which should drive its revenues going forward. Earlier, in February, specialty pharmacy services provider BioScrip Inc. (BIOS) and Walgreen entered into a definitive agreement, under which the latter will acquire certain community specialty pharmacies and mail service pharmacy business assets of BioScrip for $225 million. Walgreen anticipates the transaction to have no material impact on its earnings in fiscal 2012. However, the transaction will be moderately accretive in fiscal 2013.
On a long-term horizon, we are optimistic about Walgreen. Apart from strong cash balance, the introduction of new generics should help improve the company's gross margin in the second half of fiscal 2012. However, the company has been impacted over the past few quarters by high unemployment levels and lower discretionary spending.
Moreover, the termination of the Express Scripts (ESRX) contract continues to hurt Walgreen sales and has resulted in a sluggish start for third quarter 2012. In March 2012, the company recorded a year-over-year dip of 4.3% in total sales to $6.02 billion.
Currently, Walgreen retains a Zacks #3 Rank (short-term Hold rating). We have a 'Neutral' recommendation on the stock over the long term.

Publisher: Sophia Institute Press (1950)
Paperback (277 pages)
Reading Challenges: 2016 Backlist Books, Read 2016
Between catechism lessons taught by saints, the children travel back in time to witness persecuted Catholics risking their lives to attend furtive Masses in Roman days, in Reformation England, and in the Soviet Union just a few decades ago. Through words and witnessing, deeds and doctrine, adventurous Michael and Cecilia learn the central truths of our Catholic Faith and discover how important they are, even today.

My Review
St. Patrick's Summer was an assigned text for one of my grad school courses. I'm not sure I would have heard of this book or picked it up otherwise. It is a children's adventure catechism written prior to the Second Vatican Council to help teach children the Catholic Faith.
The story begins with Michael and Cecilia who are rural village children preparing for their First Holy Communion. Their village does not have a permanent priest or a school. A retired schoolteacher is their catechism instructor. The only problem is that Michael and Cecilia ask questions that their teacher can't answer.
So their teacher prays and ask St. Patrick to help the children understand the Faith. In the story, St. Patrick appears to the children and helps explain and answer their questions on the Catholic Faith.
This really is a fun way to teach children the basics of the Faith. It is interesting as well as informational. I liked it and would not hesitate to recommend it to all catechists.

''Mass torts'' were once thought the province of companies whose products caused injury or were the result of a catastrophic occurrence (such as a release of pollution into the drinking water supply of a city). To deal effectively with strategies designed to prevent or minimize a mass tort, it is important to understand what mass tort litigation is. '' 'Mass tort litigation' emerges when an event or series of related events injure a large number of people or damage their property.'' A mass tort is defined by both the nature and the number of claims; the claims must arise out of an identifiable event or product, affecting a very large number of people and causing a large number of lawsuits asserting personal injury or property damage to be filed.1 Classic examples of mass tort litigation include asbestos litigation, breast implants, Vioxx, and Love Canal. With the current ''M&A boom,'' the potential for an entity to acquire a mass tort in the wings looms large. While it may not be possible to eliminate every potential mass tort risk in a business transaction, there are a number of issues that companies and their counsel should consider.
A. Deal Structure
1. Asset Acquisition. Perhaps the most effective deal structure for limiting a buyer's liabilities is the direct asset acquisition. In such a deal, the buyer and seller specify which assets will be acquired and which liabilities will be assumed by the buyer. General ''successor liability'' law provides that an asset buyer does not assume unknown seller's liabilities, unless they have been expressly assumed or fall into one of the exceptions. Despite this general principle, there are certain exceptions to be aware of. Virtually every state's law recognizes a form of successor liability. The following lists the major exceptions:

Customer reviews for Pipedream King Cock Suction Dildo with Balls - 10 Inch
I got erect when I first saw it but having tried it I got so turned on. Took a little stretching to fit but eventually it was all I will ever need to feel Full Filled. Could not stop using it and my old dildo looks like a pin prick in comparison.My ass is craving more attentionReview by: OMG Perfect
I must admit that I have had a fantasy for a while of using a toy like this on my wife and when it came even I was like........err that's big!!
I wasn't sure that my wife would be up for it at first but we are very open and have a lot of trust.
So the night came and out came this big boy, along with the highly recommended lube, I spent a lot of time and attention warming my wife up for this which isn't somthing I mind at all anyway......
So I lubed this up and started gently, to watch was great and she didn't didn't seem to mind either, I used a lot of lube first time round and started shallow and slow but to my surprise it wasn't too long before we were both in full flow.....this thing is amazing.....my wife seems to enjoy it and her feedback is that it's good but a on the hard side, she states it's not the same but for a extra in the bedroom we wish we had both one sooner.......Can't wait to invite him out the box again.
I am a straight/ bi-curious Male , but am in awe of this amazing dildo ! I love the feel & look of its awesome size & when I lower myself onto it the feelings are out of this world! As there's no chance of the real thing this is without a doubt the best dildo i've ever had the pleasure to sit on!!!Review by: SW
This monster comes in at a whopping 10 inches long, that's about 25 cm and 2 inches (5.1cm) wide, that's width not circumference. And that's large! Trust me!
This dildo is absolutely beautiful and so lifelike it is incredible (apart from being twice the size of any average guy obviously). The Pipedream King Cock 10 Inch Suction Dildo with Balls really is ultra realistic. Even the feel of it, both inside and out… it's soft but firm and when lubed up it feels like the real (circumcised) thing. The head is slightly smaller and it gets larger further down the shaft.
The veins, the colours, the texture, the proportions, are all perfect.
The Pipedream King Cock 10 Inch Suction Dildo with Balls is made from phthalate free PVC, its latex free, hypoallergenic, and body safe. All great!
The suction cup is super strong… I had lots of fun vertically both in the bath and on a tiled floor and it even lasted a really long time horizontally on tiles.
I definitely recommend this toy (with one warning)… the Pipedream King Cock 10 Inch Suction Dildo with Balls is not for the faint hearted – or small orificed!

76ers dump Rose-less Bulls, even series
The fans gave Derrick Rose a standing ovation before the game. There wasn't much for them to cheer about in the end.
Jrue Holiday scored 26 points, Lou Williams added 20 and the Philadelphia 76ers beat Chicago 109-92 on Tuesday night to even their first-round series in the Bulls' first game since Rose's season-ending knee injury.
The superstar point guard received a standing ovation and waved to the crowd as he limped onto the court to present the game ball, then watched from a suite as the 76ers simply blitzed the Bulls in the third quarter.
They outscored Chicago 36-14 in the period, turning an eight-point deficit into an 83-69 lead, and pulled even with the league's top-seeded team.
Game 3 is Friday in Philadelphia.
"This game we caught fire and it was pretty hard to put it out," Holiday said.
All the Bulls could do was shake their heads and vow to do better.
"Disappointed," Chicago's Joakim Noah said. "Disappointing effort overall. We didn't play well defensively. We didn't play well offensively."
Holiday was 11 of 15 from the field, and the Sixers shot 59 percent overall. Williams came up big, going 8 of 13 after hitting just 1-of-6 shots in the opener, and Chicago product Evan Turner chipped in with 19 points, seven rebounds and six assists.
Noah led the Bulls with 21 points and eight rebounds. John Lucas III scored 15 points, but Carlos Boozer scored just nine and Luol Deng finished with eight. More alarming, the Bulls simply couldn't stop the Sixers, particularly in the third quarter.
Turner scored 11 points in the period, and Philadelphia wiped out a 55-47 deficit.
"That third quarter we played tonight was as good a quarter as I ever seen our team play as long as I've been with them," Philadelphia coach Doug Collins said. "We were active."
For the Bulls, that was about as bad as it gets.
They were unable to make any stops, and they couldn't find a rhythm on offense, either.
"We kind of let our offense affect our defense," Richard Hamilton said.
The Sixers were leading 68-61 midway through the quarter after a 12-0 run that Elton Brand started with a foul-line jumper. Then, after a basket by C.J. Watson, Andre Iguodala threw down a thunderous one-handed dunk over Deng for a three-point play that drew plenty of oohs, aahs and groans from a crowd that felt this one slipping away.
Things didn't get much better for Chicago after that.
The 76ers continued to pour it on, with Iguodala delivering another vicious dunk late in the quarter and then hitting Williams with an alley-oop pass that made it 83-69 heading into the fourth.
"For the first time in a long time our defense dictated our offense," Iguodala said. "We rebounded the ball. Evan and myself pushed it out on the break and we finished pretty well. It started with that in the third quarter."
It added up to a rough night for the Bulls, who were in a familiar spot with Rose sidelined again — this time after tearing the ACL in his left knee late in Game 1.
He missed 27 games during the regular season because of a variety of ailments, and the Bulls did just fine, going 18-9. Throw in injuries to Hamilton and Deng, and they were able to go with their projected starting five just 15 times, yet they still captured homecourt advantage throughout the playoffs for the second straight season.
That's why they insist they can still make a run, even with Rose out. They won without him before. They insist their championship hopes didn't die when he went down.
"It's different (without Rose)," Noah said. "There's no excuses, though. We know we can play better. It's disappointing, but you know what? We live to fight another day. There's a lot of basketball to play."
Notes: The Sixers shuffled their lineup from Game 1, with Turner starting for Jodie Meeks and C Spencer Hawes for Lavoy Allen. … Scottie Pippen says the Bulls still are the team to beat even without Rose. In an open letter to the team posted Tuesday on the Bulls' website, Pippen wrote, "You're still the best team in the NBA until an opponent proves otherwise." The Hall of Famer also compared the loss of Rose to Michael Jordan's first retirement and pointed out the 1993-94 team won 55 games. Pippen said the Bulls "believed in ourselves" and never "felt sorry for ourselves." … Chicago's Tom Thibodeau finished second in the Coach of the Year voting to San Antonio's Gregg Popovich after winning the award last season.

|For sweet shortcrust pastry, pulse flour, sugar and a pinch of salt in a food processor to combine. Add butter, pulse until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Add eggs, pulse until dough just comes together. Turn onto a lightly floured surface, shape into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, refrigerate to rest (1-2 hours).
|Meanwhile, for tangelo jam, bring ingredients to the simmer in a saucepan over medium-high heat, stir occasionally until sugar dissolves and mixture is jammy (15-20 minutes). Transfer to a sterilised jar, set aside to cool. Makes about 400ml.
|Preheat oven to 180C. Roll pastry to a 5mm-thick round, line a 24cm-diameter straight-sided tart ring (see note) placed on an oven tray lined with baking paper, trim edges, refrigerate to rest (30 minutes). Blind bake until golden and crisp (10-15 minutes). Remove paper and weights, brush with eggwash, return to oven until golden and sealed (2-3 minutes). Cool to room temperature, spread jam evenly over tart base to about 1½cm thick. (Excess jam will keep refrigerated for 2 weeks.)
|Beat butter and sugar in an electric mixer until pale and creamy, gradually add beaten egg, fold in almond meal and rind. Spread evenly in tart, bake until golden and set (25-35 minutes), set aside to cool.
|Meanwhile, for sweet and sour tangelos, combine sugar and 100ml water in a saucepan over medium heat, stir to dissolve sugar, cook until golden (5-7 minutes). Add tangelos and juice (be careful as hot caramel may spit), stir to combine, simmer until syrupy (5-7 minutes), cool to room temperature and serve with bakewell tart and vanillla yoghurt.
