Loughborough University
Loughborough University, in Leicestershire, East Midlands was established in 1909 and currently has over 20,000 students and staff. The university campus is spread over 433 acres.
Since 2001 the University has been purchasing 100 percent of its power from renewable sources and was the first in the country to do so. Part of this initiative was an advanced energy centre incorporating 3 combined heat and power (CHP) units providing heating, cooling and electricity to the site.
In 2008 the university contacted ENER-G to provide operation and maintenance for the 15-year old units. After a site visit, it was determined that due to the low efficiency of the system, replacement was a more cost effective option for the long term.
ENER-G proposed that they were replaced with a 1MW unit, with a caterpillar engine, which is more efficient and more reliable.
In January 2009 the unit was commissioned, delivering 1,317kW heat and 1,030kW electricity per hour to the site.
The CHP system, installed by ENER-G now enables the campus to generate its own electricity further promoting its commitment to sustainability.
The replacement of the CHP units was funded entirely by ENER-G through the Discount Energy Purchase (DEP) agreement.
ENER-G also provides the operation and maintenance of the system, and sells the electricity generated to the university at a discounted rate. Installation costs were kept low by utilising existing infrastructure. Including a chiller.
In 2009, the CO2 savings achieved by the CHP systems was approximately 2,839 tonnes. This is equivalent to 283,939 trees.
As part of the package, the university has 24 hour support from a team of ENER-G engineers and a stock of spares are kept on site to ensure the 98% availability is maintained.
The applied CHP technology enables the organisation to generate its own electricity, radically reducing carbon emissions. This method is highly energy efficient (85 per cent) as it recovers heat created in the electricity generation process and avoids transmission losses because the energy is used locally.
In conventional power stations, which are only 30 per cent efficient, this heat is wasted because it disappears into the atmosphere. Instead, the University can use it to provide heating and hot water.

Extend the life of your household tools with a little TLC
Tools are a vital addition around the home, from fixing up those leaks and holes to making your home decor ideas come true. Professional tools might not be the cheapest out there, but they offer longer lasting performance if you are willing to take proper care of them. Our simple tips give you the lowdown on how to look after a variety of tools to keep them in good working order for years to come.
Store your tools properly
Water is bad news for tools. It can rust metal and lead to rotting wood. You should make sure that all of your various tools are only ever stored in a 100 per cent dry area. Never keep your household tools on your floor where spillages can occur and salt used to treat roads in winter can build up, causing some metals to decay.
Keep your tool collection safe and bone dry by housing them all in a tool box. If your workshop or basement is damp, then wooden tool boxes are perfect as the wood absorbs moisture in the air, keeping tools dry.
Avoiding the dreaded rust
Rust prevention is crucial to maintaining metal tools. Clean your household tools regularly as a build up of dirt and grease can help rust get a foothold. You might want to also purchase some silica gel which soaks up any humidity that is around which can lead to rusting. Should tools are to be stored in a damp environment like a basement, you may need to purchase a dehumidifier.
Rust treatment
If you should ever see rust making an appearance, immediately treat the affected areas with a trusted lubricant like WD40. Then use a heavy duty pad that has been designed for use on metal to scrub away the offending rust, and then wipe your tool down with a cloth. Do not use sandpaper on metal parts of tools as this can permanently scratch them.
Caring for power tools
To prevent your power tool collection from rust, give them a spray with all purpose oil. Always switch on your power tool in order to guarantee that the oil makes its way round the tool.
Should you encounter power tool battery life diminishing, it could be because your power tool battery suffers from memory effect. You can increase the battery life by running your tool in question until its battery is 100 per cent dead. Charge the tool up until it will accept no more charge, deplete the battery fully and recharge fully once more. Although time consuming, it can help to significantly improve in your tool battery life.

According to James's Joyce's character Leopold Blum, reading your own obituary gives you a new lease of life. Proponents of the two-state solution should perhaps then be grateful to those declaring it dead. As I argue in a new paper for the Foreign Policy Centre, the two-state solution is not dead, and in fact remains both attainable and indispensable.

According to James's Joyce's character Leopold Blum, reading your own obituary gives you a new lease of life. Proponents of the two-state solution should perhaps then be grateful to those declaring it dead.
As I argue in a new paper for the Foreign Policy Centre, the two-state solution is not dead, and in fact remains both attainable and indispensable.
Mehdi Hasan is among the latest to have read its last rites. (He already declared it dead in the Guardian three and a half years ago but apparently not everyone – John Kerry, Benjamin Netanyahu, Mahmoud Abbas – got the memo.)
His evidence this time is that some Israeli settlers said so.
Really? If you want to know whether the two-state solution is dead you don't take the word of those opposed to it. As Mandy Rice-Davies so memorably put it during the Profumo affair: "They would say that, wouldn't they".
But haven't the settlements killed the two-state solution? If you ask Shaul Arieli – former head of Israel's peace negotiations administration, leading advocate for Peace Now, and leading expert on the situation on the ground – the answer is no.
As Arieli showed in a recent paper for BICOM, settlements and outposts do not cover 42 per cent of the West Bank, as is sometimes claimed. The built up area covers less than 2 per cent. Beyond the major settlement blocks – the bulk of which Israel is likely to keep in a land swap deal – they cover 0.4 per cent.
But 'There is no peace; there is no process', cry a hearty chorus of two-state doomsayers. Well if it's peace talks you want, cheer up. Talk to people who are in a position to know and you will hear there is a decent chance final status talks will be restarting in the coming months.
And who will be representing the Israeli side. Hardline settlers Avigdor Lieberman and Naftali Bennett? Actually it will be justice minister and former foreign minister Tzipi Livni – the Israeli who more than any other in the last few years has made the case that a two-state solution is an imperative for Israel.
Now the fact that peace talks may soon be back does not mean a deal will be reached. We should all be hoping it will be. But even if this effort fails, as I argue in my FPC paper, there is still no alternative to the two-state solution – if a solution means ending bloodshed, affording dignity, universal human and political rights, and economic and social opportunities to all peoples involved.
The 'one-state solution' is in fact an oxymoron. A single state from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean will mean an Arab majority state in the long run, and the dismantlement of the State of Israel. It is no wonder that increasing numbers of Palestinian intellectuals and their supporters like the sound of that, but it's not exactly a solution that Israeli Jews will accept.
Those on the Israeli right trumpeting the death of the two-state solution – who are ideologically opposed to territorial compromise – make various claims about how Israel can annex the West Bank, remain democratic and not lose its Jewish character. But their various attempts to square this circle are not convincing, which is why a majority of Israelis continue to prefer the two-state option.
In fact, prematurely declaring the two-state solution dead means ignoring the preferences of most Israelis and Palestinians. Surveys consistently show that by considerable margins, both sides favour the two-state model over any alternative.
Though scepticism abounds about the chances for an agreement, the fact that both peoples, who don't agree on much, can agree on the two-state model, is pretty remarkable. It ought to be a source of hope and opportunity.
Creating a Palestinian state alongside Israel, therefore, remains the only arrangement that can conceivably reconcile the core interests of Palestinian and Jewish national movements. If a comprehensive peace deal proves elusive now, observers in the West should cut out the talk of 'windows closing' and focus on how to keep the window ajar for future generations.
This would mean seeking ways to advance a two-state reality on the ground, even in the absence of a full agreement.
But we should not be writing off the chances of an agreement before the parties themselves, the ones who are actually engaged in the conflict, have had another shot at resolving it.
It's all too easy to declare imperiously, from two thousand miles away – with a flick of the wrist – the two-state solution dead, thereby condemning millions of Israelis and Palestinians to a future of unending conflict. Many of us those living with this issue are not giving up that easily.Like this article?

One Response to "The death of the two-state solution has been exaggerated"
Yes they would say so. The question now is, if there isn't a 2 state solution anymore, what IS there? The indefinite illegal occupation and settlement-at-will by Israel and no-state for the Palestinians? I suspect the latter will not rest content with that. Or a single Jewish State by annexation (and expulsion?) where Arabs are 2nd class citizens? No ta, they'll say. A 2 state solution is the ONLY game on offer, both to Israel and the Palestinians – can we please call them 'Palestine' in recognition of that. Sensible countries will say to Israel, come up with the 2 state solution, it's in YOUR hands after all when all is said and done – or we'll recognise Palestine anyway. Israel needs to accept that land is not theirs no matter what the religios proclaim as divine will. The law of man, not of one sect's convenient view of what their god says, please. He's not there to call re testimony, only his henchmen.

When you design your home, you would likely be thinking of the main points: walls, carpeting, ceiling fixtures etc. The last thing people think about is the stuff. The photos, curtains, the lampshades and even the light fittings. Once all the big stuff is done in a newly decorated room, it's time to sweat the small stuff.
There are many ways you can brighten up a newly decorated space, from the kitchen to the bedroom. Vinyl coverings on the kitchen cupboards can transform a kitchen space, pieces of art from the best online art galleries can give your living room life. Invest in indoor plants to breathe some beauty into your home and choose light shades and lamps to fit the theme and colour palette of your home. If you are lucky enough to have children, they can help too. The crafts that they create are sometimes relocated to the bin, but there are other little gems children create that can make your home feel like it has more than just a uniform look. Quirky hand print paintings, glittery salt dough ornaments and varnished wonky pottery wouldn't be out of place in a gallery, so they definitely wouldn't be out of place in the home.
Little touches you give your home give it personality, life and colour. You don't have to redecorate every time you want to change things around so when you design a room, make the colours basic and changeable. A cream, bright room can have any number of colour splashed through it on a regular basis if change is your thing. You could choose to be seasonal with your colour choices and go for bold yellows and oranges in the summer months, and swap to cosy checked patterns and velvety, plush cushions in the winter months. Christmas themes versus sunshine themes are a no brainer when you can change your décor through the year.
Image Source
Small rugs that match our colour schemes can also be changed through the year so if you are in the financial position to invest in the right additions to your home you should do so. Pale colours for the spring and summer months add space and creativity to our lives. We love bright and airy for the warm months and dark and cosy for the cold months. You can save so much money just by changing your accessories.
Accessorising your home gives your life clutter – but in a good way. A plain white room can be minimalist and beautiful, but adding things to make your house transform into a home is exactly what everyone needs. We like to be surrounded by beautiful things that add depth to our existence and the accessories we can put into our home, including the smaller furnishings like coffee tables, give us that depth. Your home is your castle and you should accessorise it in the way that reflects you. Without steel knights and swords… castle it may be but go soft with your accessories. Go beautiful.

This work premiered in 1996 as a NODA MAP production. The following year the Japan Foundation's Asian Performing Arts Exchange and Research Program was launched with the purpose of bringing together Asian and Japanese theater people to create joint productions. In 1997, as the first project of this program (organized in cooperation with the Setagaya Public Theatre), Hideki Noda held a workshop with Thai actors from Bangkok and to create and perform a Thai version of
. After that this Thai version was performed in Bangkok in 1998 and re-produced in Tokyo in 1999. In 2003 an English version performed by British actors and staff was presented. In 2004 the Japanese, English and Thai versions were presented in successive performances in Tokyo, winning that year's Asahi Performing Arts Awards Grand Prix.
A strange person arrives on the shore in a boat and is mistaken for a cannibal "Akaoni" by the people of the village. It is discriminated against and eventually sentenced to be executed. But a trio consisting of "The Woman," her dimwit brother Tombi and the liar Mizukane learn that the Akaoni doesn't eat humans but only eats flowers and came to their shore in search of a utopia. Then they try to save Akaoni ….

Would you tell us about the projects the company now has in progress?
There are so many, it makes me tired just thinking about them all (laughs). For example we have the production of
that we are preparing to take to Japan for performances. This work is being created under the theme of the "Art of Peace." We hope that through this work we can make some contribution to easing the ethnic strife currently afflicting the southern region of our country. In it we use music from three of the southern provinces, Narathiwart, Pattani and Yala. The play's underlying subject of discrimination toward the "akaoni" as a being that is different can be associated in a way with the current conflicts between the Muslim and Buddhist groups in the south.
In another project we are working with refugees from Myanmar. We also have a project dealing with the problem of domestic violence through theater, with workshops and performances.
In the Myanmar refugee project do you just present plays, or do you have the refugees involved in acting roles in the plays?
Yes. We have the Myanmar refugees perform the plays themselves, and in the domestic violence project we have victims of this violence perform in the plays while searching for answers to the questions of why people can't find happiness within the family environment and why the fathers turn to violence. By having these people playing the roles and working together with us in creating the plays provided opportunities for direct and meaningful discussion and for us to hear their first-hand experiences with domestic violence. Then I gather these stories and work them together into a play scenario for performance.
Why do you prefer to have them actually become actors in these plays rather than just having them watch plays?
Having them perform in the plays is similar to interviewing them. Rather than interviewing them verbally, however, we interview them through action. Also by actually acting out the parts themselves, they learn what kinds of actions communicate their message to a third person. Through the discussions and consultations that occur during the creative process for a play, they come to understand what cooperation means and what understanding the other person involves. Through these plays, the people involved are able to get the public to understand them and listen to what they have to say. In the end, they also gain confidence and pride in themselves. It also helps release stress that has built up within them. Through theater they look more deeply into themselves and in the process they can learn a variety of things.
During the creative process, we come in and lend our hand in making the their stories into more artistic theatrical works. From their standpoint, seeing their life stories take the form of impressive dramas becomes another source of confidence in themselves. Meanwhile, from the standpoint of the audience, it becomes an opportunity to learn about and understand these people.
I would like to ask you about the 1997 Thai version of
. This production was the first to be developed under the Japan Foundation's Asian Performing Arts Exchange and Research Program, which was initiated with the purpose of bringing together Asian and Japanese theater people to create joint productions. The production was the product of workshops held with Hideki Noda and Thai actors and was performed at the Setagaya Public Theatre in Tokyo, which some consider a landmark event for contemporary Thai theater. You were one of the actors who performed in that
production. Can you tell us what it was like working with Hideki Noda?
When I met Mr. Noda, my first impression was that of a somewhat distant person who was difficult to approach. As I actually got to know him I found that this was not true at all, but that was a natural first impression because, from the standpoint of Thai actors like myself, we looked at Mr. Noda as a very important director in the theater world. In general, for Thai actors, the director is a person of authority and we tend to treat them with an excessive amount of deference and even fear. And it was the same with Mr. Noda at first. However, I saw it as a great opportunity to work with someone like him, so I applied for the project. I ended up working with him through two full days of workshops, and during that amount of time you get a pretty good idea of the other person's character. It was an opportunity to learn a lot from Mr. Noda, and for example, even if I were not chosen it would have been a chance to begin a lasting relationship. It was not just a case of being chosen through an audition. Watching Mr. Noda do the workshop was an experience that convinced me that he and I are people who think in very similar ways.
As the word "play" implies, Thai actors never forget to enjoy themselves in their work, even though working on a production is a job. We believe that a performance is something that we should enjoy acting in, and we don't like to look at productions simply as jobs that must be done. At first, we were disturbed by the fact that the Japanese staff couldn't comprehend this attitude of ours. When the Japanese do a play, they work seriously in rehearsals and are very disciplined about being on time and obeying the rules of conduct. But that is not the case with Thai actors. Often we aren't on time and we haven't learned our lines completely. We always approach a play with a spirit of fun. And sometimes we play around too much, which can be a problem, too (laughs).
However, because Mr. Noda is a very intelligent person, he watched how we worked and tried to understand us and our approach. One of the first things he asked me was what is the biggest problem I have when working with Thai actors. I answered that it is their lack of responsibility regarding their work. We also tend not to think well of people who let themselves get too serious about their work. That is something that foreigners have to understand when working with Thai people.
That might be the reason why Mr. Noda would play some game with us Thai actors, football or basketball or some traditional Japanese game, before we began each workshop. I was very much impressed by that kind of understanding Mr. Noda had about how to have real exchange with people.
Have you worked with directors from other countries?
Yes. I have worked with directors of the West and have found that differences of opinion occur rather often. For example, there are aesthetic differences concerning the arts. I have found that Germans tend to be very strict about abiding by rules and once a script is written they never seem to have the flexibility to change it. I feel that the arts are different from science. Art is a matter of the actor's feelings at any given moment, and the weather and the environment, so many elements are involved and that leaves the possibility for infinite changes and variables. As for American directors, my experience is that they are too concerned with technology and frameworks. On the other hand, they tend to place less importance on the contents of the script. I personally place importance on physical expression through body movement, and that sometimes causes conflict of opinions. As for Japanese theater people, I feel that their tendency is to want to reach a high level of perfection in a work.
In contrast, Thai actors and directors, as is probably true with most Asian theater, we prefer exaggerated acting on stage. This is because the audience feels that exaggerated acting is more real and they find it more appealing. And because of this common way of thinking, I have always enjoyed working with people of places like Hong Kong, Taiwan, the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. I feel a special affinity when working with people of Laos, Cambodia and Myanmar. When we did a joint production with people from Laos, Cambodia and Thailand, everyone was talking in their own language, without using any English at all. Of course, we had interpreters when necessary but I found that to an amazing degree there are words that we can all understand despite our ethnic differences.

Titleist make great products! I am a novice who is just now shooting under 100 consistently. This wedge provided the loft and quality I was looking for along with a great price. The club arrived fast and in better condition than I thought based on the grade given by the experts at GlobalGolf. The face had barely any wear and the grip was like new without any nicks or dings on the shaft or head. This club has a soft feel around the green and provides accuracy for shots at the 100 yard mark where my 60 deg. wedge came up short and my 48 deg. wedge was consistently long. Split the difference and Bingo! Great product with excellent service!
I took these out and played nine, amazed, the accuracy is spot on. Titliest bv rocks, clubs were in awesome shaped for being good, GG I will continue to shop with you, always on time for me.
I purchased these wedges in value condition and as usual, I am very pleased with the condition of the clubs and the great price that I got them for. Global Golf is an excellent place to fill your bag with great clubs for a great price.
It is excellent. I still use it every time.
Received in great condition and for the price it was a great deal. Thanks.

Skilled instructors and trained volunteers work with youth during our instructional horsemanship classes, ranch experiences, and mentoring programs. Classes are offered in an inviting and supportive environment and encourage discussion, reflection, and peer group interactions. Below is a list of programs and classes offered by Silver Buckle Ranch. To register for a camp or to find out about lesson availability e-mail the Ranch at email@example.com (our preferred method) or call (360) 260 - 8932.
Ranch HANDS
Ranch HANDS is our signature program. The six-week course specifically helps adolescents overcome the struggles all young people are faced with to some degree growing up today, such as self-esteem, fear, and anger. Through the Ranch HANDS program, students learn how their actions affect others and themselves. The program is structured so that each week students are presented with a different theme (i.e. trustworthiness, responsibility, teamwork, etc.). Assignments and activities for that week reinforce the topic and help students to understand the subject matter, reflect on it during group discussions, and implement it at home in their own lives. Ranch HANDS meets once a week for two hours, the cost is $245.
Little Wranglers
Our Little Wranglers day camps are a great way to introduce young ones to horses. Designed for ages four to six AND for older kids timid about their first horse experience, Little Wranglers offers appropriate guidance and instruction for youngsters just starting out. Campers learn about the importance of safety, leading, grooming and ride with the assistance of a trained volunteer. Little Wrangler camps are offered on Saturday mornings and the cost is $40 for two hours.
Next Camp is Saturday, November 11th from 10am to noon.
Email email@example.com to Register.
Afternoon at the Ranch
We also offer Afternoon at the Ranch for our older students between the ages of seven and twelve. New students comfortable with horses and graduated Little Wranglers learn about the importance of safety. Students also assist with the care of our horses, such as cleaning, feeding, and watering and are taught the importance of looking after our herd. Additionally campers groom, lead, and ride our horses. Afternoon at the Ranch camps are two hours long and cost $40.
Next Camp is on Saturday, November 11th from 10am to noon.
Email email@example.com to Register.
Riding Lessons
Students who are interested in pursuing riding and would like to advance their skills or simply enjoy connecting with a horse are encouraged to join one of our lesson programs. Our instructors offer both private and group lessons for beginners through intermediate riders. Private lessons provide one-on-one guidance with a knowledgeable instructor using either a ranch program horse or your own horse. Group lessons accommodate two to four riders who are matched by age and skill level. Private lessons are one hour and the cost is $50. Group lessons are also one hour and the cost is $40. All of our riding lessons include elements of horse care, such as saddling, training, and health care.
We have two instructors providing lessons in both Western and English riding.
Email Ranch at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.
Birthday parties
What better way to celebrate your child's birthday than with a memorable experience at Silver Buckle Ranch? Birthday parties are two hours long total. The first hour is spent with our Silver Buckle program horses grooming and riding. The second hour is the opportunity for you to have your party in our barn or classroom. We provide the tables and Ranch environment; you bring the rest of the party needs. Birthday parties are available Saturdays and Sundays. The cost for hosting a party at Silver Buckle is $175 for up to 10 children. (Please add $10 for each additional child.)
Field Trips
Plan your next activity away from the classroom! Kids love to visit Silver Buckle Ranch where they can learn how to rope, groom Buttons our mini horse, play fun games, hop on the Silver Buckle Express, and even ride one of our program horses! Bring a sack lunch and leave with a smile! Field trips are two hours long and cost $20 per child.
Scout Groups
Silver Buckle would love to help your scouts complete their horsemanship badges. Bring the whole troop and we'll help them earn their scout merits. Scout camps cost $40/scout for two hours or $60/scout for three hours. Discounts for groups of eight or more.
Private Camps
Have a large group and want to organize a private camp? That's no problem! Rates for private camps are $40 per rider for two hours and $60 per rider for three hours. Camps can be one time or scheduled weekly for a fixed number of weeks.
GATE Program
Vancouver Public School's GATE program is a community based program where young adults ages 18 - 21 can learn vocational skills, time management, effective communication, and move towards independence while giving back to the community at various work sites. Silver Buckle Ranch is proud to be one of the work sites where students can learn new skills and gain work experience. Gate students help around the ranch with maintenance, cleaning, and caring for our horses.
Juvenile Justice
Silver Buckle ranch partners with Clark County Juvenile Courts Restorative Justice program. The ranch serves as a place for youth to give back to their community in a positive, constructive, and restorative way. Teens learn valuable skills such as communication and work ethic through physical labor at the ranch. Silver Buckle provides a positive, calm and reassuring atmosphere where the youth can flourish and grow. On more than one occasion, while cleaning a pasture, a horse has come up and put their head on the shoulder of one of the participants, which results in a big smile and a sense of purpose in the job they are doing. As Silver Buckle Ranch continues to grow, we look forward to expanding this partnership and serving more youth in a meaningful and productive way.
We no longer offer the sport of cow sorting at Silver Buckle Ranch.
Cow sorting has moved to the Clark County Saddle Club.

Achieve a High Performing Team through Multi-Sport Adventure Instruction
One of the most powerful bonds we can make with the people we work with is through the shared experience of an outdoor adventure. Putting your life in the hands of one of your team mates, and relying on their judgment and skill is a true measure of one's trustworthiness. Our Multi-Sport Adventure programs give small groups and teams an opportunity to form those bonds in an instructional setting, giving individuals new skills that can either serve as a once-in-a-lifetime experience, or set them on a lifetime of new adventures.
Please Note: All of our Adventure Instruction programs can be found on the GO-Adventures website – home to the recreational team building and adventure instruction branch of The NEXTeams Companies.
Here are just a few of our Upcoming Adventures:
Rock Climbing – From the beginner (top-roping) to advanced (multi-pitch lead climbing), we can take your small group of up to 4 to 12 participants out for a day up to a week of rock climbing instruction.
Technical Ice Climbing – Winter doesn't need to be the end of your adventure pursuits! Learn the basics of this challenging but rewarding winter adventure that combines the skills of rock climbing with the chill of negotiating a frozen waterfall. There is nothing like it!
Adventure Caving – The wild caves of West Virginia and Pennsylvania make an excellent introduction to the unique world of spelunking and adventure caving.
Via Ferrata – The Via Ferrata gives relatively inexperienced adventurers an opportunity to climb using iron-rung ladders that are drilled into a rock face, then walk across a 500 foot wooden-planked bridge and continue up another rock face and finally summit a fin of rock that is 1200 feet higher than where you started!
Adventure Weekend – Put two or more adventure experiences together and either sleep in a tent or cabin before heading out to your next challenge. The Adventure Weekend is like camp for grown-ups!

Uncle Jack's Steakhouse - Westside 9th Avenue Ratings and Reviews
Best filet ever, juicy, tasty, thick, tender. Scott, our server, was attentive and thoroughly professional. The manager (Firuzeh?) came over and talked to us. She was solicitous and respectful in wanting to know how things were going. Yes, we had a good time. We'll be back...
Usually reliable but must have been over staffed. Service very slow and inattentive water glasses empty on many occasions and steak for two that should have come out of the kitchen sizzling was warm enough to eat but just barely. Will think twice before going back.
I used to count on Uncle Jacks for a fullfilling, fantastic classic steak dinner, but lately they have gone downhill. The side portions of gotten much smaller, in fact smaller than most restaurants yet three times as expensive. Food presentation was atrocious, even Red Lobster would do better. (The oysters appetizer at $24 was just thrown on plate with couple random pieces of lettuce) Overall, I can now say it is absolutely not worth the high price. They seriously need to up their game at these prices.
i'm not impressed at all, the lobster bisque i ordered was so salty, cannot even finish. the salmon was so tiny piece, only one or two bite. For the price i paid for is really not worth it. the beet salad was also tiny portion for the price, and the beet wasn't good or fresh at all. Our waiter wasn't that friendly neither, probably because it was busy. Don't think i will come back or recommend to anyone, sorry.
Uncle Jack's Westside is a little out of the way, which makes it possible to get a reservation! Service was excellent. Food was tasty. My daughter and I enjoyed sitting upstairs, where we could speak without shouting, overlooking the hubbub; downstairs would be fun for an after-work gathering of friends. Even though we ate modestly ( we split one of everything: Caesar salad, cauliflower, fries and a 12-oz. strip steak) and each had two glasses of house wines, the tab was $145 before tip. Still, it was a fun, classic NY steakhouse experience.
The last few times we have dined there the service has been going downhill - the wait staff seems overwhelmed and cannot remember orders and frequently forgets to bring parts of the order. This last occasion the waiter was so overwhelmed that our CEO was told to shush...In the past, the service had been outstanding but has really been going downhill this past year.

Musings from the finish line of my first 5k.
The beginning is crowded and it's tough to find your pace. Keep going.
Expect to get passed by. A lot. You'll get passed by children. You'll get passed by old men and women (super inspiring, btw). You'll get passed by someone in a turkey suit (well, you will if you run on thanksgiving). It doesn't matter. Keep going.
Soon enough you pass others. Those who didn't pace themselves. You'll see people walk. You'll walk yourself. It doesn't matter, keep going.
You'll see people stop. Don't. Keep going.
You'll hurt. You'll want to stop. Don't. Walk if you must (I did), but keep going.
You'll see people cheering you on. Often strangers. Use that. Keep going.
You'll see a crowd. You'll see a finish line. Don't speed up. Don't rush it. Keep your pace. Keep going.
Don't worry about those who crossed before you. Don't worry how you look. Don't over think things1. Keep going.
Finish. And when you do, turn around and encourage those behind you to keep going.
Thanks to Gini Dietrich for first suggesting I give this all a go and then forcing me to actually run a race. You're the best!
until you get to the finish line to write about it, obviously. ↩

With its ever-changing landscape, Search Engine Optimisation is arguably the most confusing process in all of online marketing. What's worse, it's absolutely vital for any business looking to increase its traffic and sales potential.
With its ever-changing landscape, Search Engine Optimisation is arguably the most confusing process in all of online marketing. What's worse, it's absolutely vital for any business looking to increase its traffic and sales potential.
SEO is perhaps the most effective strategy for driving visitors to your site.
In fact, research has shown that more than half of all website traffic originates from a search engine. And, although previous reports have indicated that 66% of internet users search with Google, new data has shown that number could be as high as 80%.The importance of SEO is further highlighted when you consider that the Top 3 results in Google generate 61.5% of the traffic coming from Google.
Unfortunately, Google is also the hardest search engine to rank in if you're unaware of current best-practices and algorithm changes – and it's constantly changing its algorithms and the criteria it deems important for how websites are ranked in search.
At OnQ, we've taken the headache out of SEO, altogether. Because as an SEO agency, our team is always up-to-date on current algorithm changes, so you'll never have to worry about keeping abreast of all of the updates.
This means if you've tried to optimise your own website and aren't up-to-date on all these changes, you could be doing more harm than good.
Still, struggling to drive more traffic from Google and improving the quality of existing traffic are the two biggest challenges businesses face online, today.
Stop banging your head against the wall trying to figure out SEO and let us help.
Our SEO Starter Package will zero in on your website's on-page optimisation and include:
If your website is already optimised but you need ongoing SEO services, our a monthly retainer package is the best way to take your ranking efforts to the next level.
Our ongoing SEO management services include a host of activity to improve your off-page optimisation and ongoing on-site health, including:
Above all else, we practice what's referred to as "White Hat SEO." It's a commitment to performing legitimate SEO practices to ensure we never put your website in risk of violating Google's guidelines.
More specifically, we work with our clients in two distinct phases:
1. Analysis and Foundation Setting
We perform an analysis of your website, highlighting any immediate SEO issues and correcting them to ensure your site is being crawled effectively by search engines. We then conduct keyword research and ensure your website is optimized, including your URL structure, title tags, heading tags, metadata, Schema markup, internal linking, and more.
* See our SEO Starter Package, above.
2. Ongoing Management
An optimal search campaign will take a minimum of three months. To kick it off, we'll use your analytics software and our SEO software to identify opportunities that improve your exposure in search and drive more traffic. We'll also talk to you about your content and social media strategy.
We care about your long-term search engine performance, so we'll never perform any dodgy SEO tricks or make promises we can't keep.
We're also firm believers in being as transparent as possible. As a new client, you'll receive a 3-month plan that explicitly details our SEO strategy for your business, because we want you to understand exactly what we're doing to improve your search performance.
If you're really after more leads (and who isn't?!), we suggest complementing our SEO services with online advertising and forming a digital marketing retainer. With the power of SEO and advertising together, we'll devise one potent marketing strategy.
If you're an ecommerce store and customers are searching for your products in Google, our SEO & Google Adwords retainer is the perfect way to reach a broader audience.
Ready to grow your traffic and conquer online marketing, together? Let's do this!

You can be completely secure in the knowledge that nothing passed to SagePay can be examined, used or modified by any third parties attempting to gain access to sensitive information.

Have I mentioned that I love my crock pot? I should give her a name, but I wouldn't want to upset Nancy, my GPS. I figured since I use my crock pot a lot, that I would post my favorite recipes for Manic Monday- Let's Go Make Some Noise. I mean Soup.
Oh, and enjoy!
2tbsp butter
- 1 1⁄2 cups diced carrots (½-inch pieces)
- 1 cup diced celery (½-inch pieces)
- 1 1⁄2 cups diced onion (½-inch pieces)
- 1 lb dry, rinsed green peas (or about 2 cups of fresh or frozen peas)
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tspground black pepper
- 1 lb cured ham, cut into quarters (cook with the skin on for extra flavour)
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme (plus extra for garnish)
- 3 bay leaves
- 7 cups water
Place all of the ingredients into the slow cooker. (If you are using fresh or frozen peas, add them during the last 30 minutes of cooking instead.)
Cook on low for 6 hours (or high for 3 hours).
Transfer the pieces of ham into a bowl where you can shred the meat into small, bite-sized pieces.
Remove and discard the thyme and bay leaves.
Stir the ham back into the soup and ladle into bowls.

After I've had the AC on in my car for a while, when I turn a corner, out of the center vents comes the sound of sizzling water like being poured on a hot pan. Then yesterday afternoon when I turned off the AC, after hearing the sound, my wife mentioned that water was dripping on her feet on the passenger side. Any suggestions or advice as to what this is?

The Best Rated AWD Crossoversby Patrick Cameron
The modern automobile has brought a number of safety advances. All-wheel drive (AWD) has lended drivers the security of knowing that their tires are working in concert to keep them on the road in adverse conditions. While once relegated to specific brands of vehicle and larger SUVs, AWD has now found a new home, in many crossover vehicles, cars and small SUVs that allow for more versatility and better mileage.
Audi Q5
Audi is one of the leading car manufacturers when it comes to all-wheel drive systems. Over the past several years the company has expanded a product line that was focused mostly on compact performance cars to produce several larger, crossover and SUV category vehicles. The Audi Q5 brings performance, style and comfort to the crossover vehicle area. The Q5 is a downsized version of their popular Q7 and boasts a 3.2 liter V6 with 270 horsepower. The Q5 is based on the Audi Quattro all-wheel drive system and, according to Consumer Reports, the crossover provides some of the best handling and agility for an SUV.
Ford Escape
You're going to have to pay for the luxury that you'll find in the Audi Q5. If you're looking to get in to a crossover AWD vehicle that falls in to a more economic price scale, you might want to check out the Ford Escape, one of the cars.com best-rated crossover AWD vehicles at a price that won't break the bank. The Escape is one of the more fuel efficient crossovers out there with an estimated 24 mpg on the highway. The package comes with optional all-wheel drive and you can also get it in a hybrid, for even better gas mileage.
GMC Acadia
GMC Acadia, rated in the top 5 of medium-sized SUVs by US News, offers three rows of comfortable seating for up to eight passengers along with the best fuel economy in its class. The engine is on par with what Audi offers and comes in a 3.6 liter package. You can also up the luxury by getting the Denali version of the vehicles, which comes with additional comforts like chrome wheels and pipes, Xenon headlamps and a rear camera.

From the trickle of a few springs, Oak Creek gathers water from the southern part of the Mogollon Rim to start its thirteen-mile flow through the canyon that the creek helped form. From Oak Creek Canyon , the creek winds through Sedona and begins its eight-mile descent into the Verde Valley to meet up with the Verde River . Its waters affect, and are affected by, visitors to the area, as well as residents from Flagstaff through the Verde Valley. During its journey Oak Creek flows through one of the most spectacular scenic areas in the world, with the iconic Cathedral Rock as a stunning backdrop for parts of its way. Oak Creek is a national wonder visited by millions of tourists from throughout the world. In Arizona, Oak Creek and its canyon are only surpassed in the number of visitors by the Grand Canyon .
The creek's ecosystem supports a rich environment for numerous mammal, bird and aquatic species. Mammals include elk, mule deer, white-tailed deer, mountain lion, bobcat and many other smaller species. The state of Arizona stocks Oak Creek with trout. There are a number of native fish species that are listed as either threatened or endangered.
The American bald eagle, red tailed hawk and peregrine falcon are among the great raptors that use the creek's habitat. These birds of prey that soar high on air thermals are joined by many other birds. The creek is within a major flyway for migrating birds and is a mecca for birdwatching enthusiasts. Oak Creek Canyon is known for its songbirds.
Oak Creek's ecosystem contains an exceptionally rich and varied riparian habitat. There are five major tributaries to Oak Creek. The Forest Service has designated two areas of the creek and canyon as Research Natural Areas because they contain natural resources of scientific interest and should be managed for research and educational purposes.
People have lived in the Verde Valley and Oak Creek Canyon areas starting at least as far back as 12,000 B.C. One group of people who left much evidence of their inhabitance in the region, were the Sinagua. They were living throughout the area from as early as 650 A.D. to approximately 1400 A.D. Both the Yavapai and Apache groups, lived in the area by around 1300 to 1400 A.D., or perhaps earlier. Archeological sites and artifacts of early Native American residents can be found throughout the region.
Oak Creek Canyon
From the Oak Creek Vista at the top of the 89A switchbacks to Sedona and beyond, you see three main types of the area's stunning geologic formations. At the top: grey pocked basalt shaded by one of the world's largest ponderosa pine forests. Then comes buff sandstone . This starts to intersperse with and then transition to the distinctive red sandstone reflecting iron-oxide staining. These red rocks become the predominant features of the Sedona area. In these lower elevations, pinion pine and juniper pine dominate the view. Then along the creek, a diverse population of deciduous trees, such as cottonwood and Arizona sycamore, help form riparian habitat that keeps the water cool in the summer and delights travelers with bright yellow and red leaves in the fall.
Parts of the canyon are protected by the federal and state governments, though these protections are not all-encompassing. The higher elevations on the west side of the canyon are part of the Secret Mountain Wilderness. The Forest Service lands on the eastern side of the canyon are protected from land trades as part of the Coconino National Forest Land Management Plan. Due to the unique scenic and riparian nature of the Oak Creek/Sedona region, 160,000 acres are being managed to preserve its special qualities. There has also been an effort to have the area designated as a National Scenic Area. The State of Arizona has designated Oak Creek and the West Fork of Oak Creek as Unique Waters that are subject to higher water quality standards.
Two of the creek's major tributaries are perennial streams. The creek in the canyon is fed by one of these streams: the West Fork, which cuts through a canyon before joining Oak Creek (the other perennial stream is Spring Creek, just south of Sedona). West Fork canyon is a high, steep-walled side canyon highlighted by the region's red sandstone walls and unique riparian habitat. In the fall, the bright yellows and deep oranges leaves of deciduous trees stand out against the nearby red rocks, enticing hikers to enjoy the stunning beauty. Arizona Highways Magazine has identified the hike along the West Fork as one of the best hiking experiences in Arizona.
Oak Creek Canyon has other side canyons that add to the wonder of the area. Munds Canyon is a major, intermittently flowing tributary to Oak Creek. During major rain and snow runoff events, water from the Mogollon Rim area gushes through Munds Canyon, creating a spectacular waterfall at the bottom of Oak Creek Canyon.
Slide Rock State Park , named for the natural water slide that has been formed by Oak Creek through erosion of red sandstone, is also located in Oak Creek Canyon. Thousands of people make memories here by having fun with their families and friends. The park contains three hiking trails and the Pendley Homestead Historic District, which is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. At the homestead, you can see the various tractors and other equipment from the early 1900s used to farm an apple orchard. One of the canyon's top attractions, the park came about because the homestead did not sell and the state saw the wisdom in investing in the preservation of this magnificent site. Without such foresight, many people would not be able to frolic in the creek's cool waters by laughing while sliding along the slick red rocks.
Sedona and Red Rock Country
As the creek leaves Oak Creek Canyon, it flows through the City of Sedona , identified by USA Today in its May 16, 2003, edition as "the most beautiful place in America." This is Red Rock Country . The creek flows around monumental red sandstone buttes, including Cathedral Rock. The setting of the creek flowing to the south of Cathedral Rock, with the butte in the background, is one of the most photographed sites in Arizona and the Southwestern United States. In fact, when the United States Postal Service designed a stamp commemorating the 100th year of Arizona statehood, Cathedral Rock graced the stamp.
Highlighting the importance of preserving the riparian habitat of Oak Creek, the state purchased land that later became Red Rock State Park , located just downstream from Cathedral Rock. The park is a 286-acre nature preserve and environmental education center with stunning scenery. It also contains trails that merge with surrounding national forest lands to create outstanding hiking experiences.
Page Springs
The creek soon leaves the red rocks of Sedona and flows through Page Springs. This area was named for the many springs that join Oak Creek. The creek's rich and diverse habitat, along with the spring-fed ponds of the Page Springs Fish Hatchery and Bubbling Ponds , provide an exceptional setting for birdwatching. The Arizona Game and Fish Department and the Northern Arizona Audubon Society jointly manage this peaceful area. About 200 species of birds call this area home, whether throughout the year or as a stop along epic migrations. It is not uncommon to see such birds as osprey and herons, as well as mammals such as beautiful and playful otters.
Cornville Area
As Oak Creek nears its confluence with the Verde River, it meanders through the rural community of Cornville . The creek supports small organic farming, recreation and a unique desert setting for horseback riding. The Cornville area is surrounded by national forest. The combination of riparian habitat and open lands provides a great quality of life for residents and visitors alike. The scenic beauty of the creek and surrounding area provides a rich environment for camping, hiking, fishing, birdwatching and solitude that is not replicated elsewhere.

As a creation of beauty, it would be foolish to believe that fashion is not significantly established on a surface level – yet surely an emotional connection exists, as well?
Think about the spring in your step when parading a new pair of fabulous heels, or the excitement in the pit of your stomach when you catch sight of an incredible dress in a shop window! The power of fashion is how it makes us feel; it stands as a beacon of hope and inspiration for the conception we have of ourselves or the image we want to have. As Ralph Lauren expresses, "I don't design clothes. I design dreams." Without a doubt, the style industry is a world of imaginings and fantasy; one which has the capability to recreate new atmospheres and, so, manipulate our perception of the world and how the world sees us.
The notion of clothing as a means of communication with the outside world has meant that fashion has developed into a crucial part of self-realisation. For that reason, the way in which we choose to dress, directly functions as an extension of our personality. As individuals, we are proudly saying 'this is who I am – this is my culture- this is my profession', through the symbolic nature of fashion. Ultimately, the style world enables a person to break the barriers of conformism and, alternatively, connect with something that resonates within them. Fashion, unquestionably, is an expression of identity.
Even those who have little interest in fashion, what you choose to wear – unconsciously or otherwise – gives the people around you a sneaky peak into your personality and frame of mind. It's true, how many times do we snuggle into a sweatshirt when we're feeling relaxed and laidback?
It's not about people being a slave to fashion; it's the way in which fashion serves people. Miuccia Prada wisely reflects,"Fashion is an incredible instrument, because it's an instant way of saying and seeing things. People on other fields envy the speed of fashion and its ability to capture things, and even if it's superficial, it's still telling you something." It seems that the style industry will always amaze and inspire us through its glamour and sparkle, but only because it connects with the people they design for. In the face of fashion, identity is everything.

Evolution of Family Business
Continuity and Change in Latin America and Spain
Edited by Paloma Fernández Pérez and Andrea Lluch
Chapter 11: Evolution of the Peruvian large family business, 1896–2012
Martín Monsalve Zanatti
This chapter analyses the evolution of Peruvian large family businesses from 1896 to 2012. The variables that guide this study are the changes in the investment strategies of the large family firms, the relationship between the family firms and the financial system, and their capacity to react and adapt to the challenges represented by government economic policies. Taking these variables into account, the aim of this chapter is to show which factors have determined the evolution of Peruvian family firms, the longevity of some of them and their capacity to face the current challenge of the internationalization process. This study is divided into three periods that correspond to characteristics of the Peruvian economy and politics: (a) the formation of the large family businesses (1896–1960); (b) family business and the formation of new business groups during State-driven development (1960–90); and (c) restructuring of the Peruvian large family business (1990–2012). The proposal of this chapter is that economic-political changes generate different types of managerial attitudes in family businesses and that the longevity of a firm depends on the skill of its leaders to interpret the periods of change, and the capacity of the company to adapt to them. In methodological terms, this analysis is based on the annual reports of the companies, journalistic sources for the different periods and secondary sources.

It's the most wonderful time of the year, mainly because it means 2016 is ending soon.
Kids are finishing school, parents are gearing up for Christmas, the weather is getting hotter and…tech companies are releasing Top Ten lists.
They do it, I suppose, because they want to remind us of the central role they play in our lives.
The two biggies – Facebook and YouTube – have both released results on the content that Aussies have discussed and viewed the most in 2016.
On Facebook, the top ten in 'Straya were:
1. Painfully, the US Election<. What a ride that was!
2. Malcolm Turnbull, picking up the silver for the second year in a row.
3. Shark Attacks – How Aussie is that?
4. David Bowie – That one really hurt. RIP, Starman.
5. Pokémon Go – Going, gone and forgotten already.
6. Pauline Hanson – Ugh.
7. Western Bulldogs and The AFL Grand Final – Yeah mate
8. Brexit – Whoops?
9. Rodrigo Duterte – Bizarro Trump with a dash of Hitler
10. The Olympics – Well we did clean up, didn't we?
Comparing it with Facebook's data for the whole world, we can see a lot of crossover. The world top ten were:
1. The US Election
2. Brazilian Politics
3. Pokémon Go
4. Black Lives Matter
5. Rodrigo Duterte
6. The Olympics
7. Brexit
8. The Super Bowl
9. David Bowie
10. Muhammad Ali
All in all, it's a pretty sad list really. Prominent deaths, sport, potentially and (actually) horrifying political upheavals, and a game. It's not surprising really that as the year worsened, people retreated further into a nostalgic AR-driven world to catch Pokémon.
It's been well-noted that 2016 wasn't exactly everyone's cup of tea, and the Facebook World Top Ten is a pretty stark reminder of this.
Bring on 2017, I say!
If you really insist on reliving the year, then you can check out the nifty little video that The Zuck has just posted. And if you'd like Facebook to create a review video of your year, then follow the instructions on this page. But Facebook seems to be doing it automatically anyway.
YouTube's most popular vids, which you can see for the world and for Australia, might help cheer you up a bit. The top video for both lists?
Adele, in James Corden's Carpool Karaoke. Now that's more like it!
