Johnnie F. If those areas do not want to be part of the UK it would be wise to let them go and let them choose their own future destiny. It is rather that simple. Why struggle with an Albatross tied to ones neck when they want to be free and not subject to domination by others?Regards

Dear Customer,Due to recent fluctuations in currency values and exchange rates we have reviewed our pricing across all currencies and wish to inform you we will be making some changes to our pricing.Where possible we have aimed to bring the benefit of these currency value changes to our customers (for example .co.uk domains will now be priced at 6.51 USD {previously 7.10 USD}) but there will be some domains which are now more expensive, particularly in the GBP and EUR currencies.A full list of the new pricing is attached to this email.As these market fluctuations are ongoing and unpredictable, we may be forced to make further changes at short notice in the coming weeks. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we attempt to limit the impact of these external forces.Thank you very much for you continued business, we hope that the changes are beneficial to your personal requirements.Yours truly,The Internet.bs team
It is a well known EU tactic.
The petition EU Referendum Rules triggering a 2nd EU Referendumalready passed the million mark and stands at 1,015,700 signatures right now. People do understand the necessity of acting fast to minimize the damage done by the referendum.
Johnnie F. - You keep pushing the line of lets return to the EU and minimise the damage. What a load of . The damage the EU has caused for the real Brits of the UK for the last 43 years is on record. I do not understand why you are so elated that people are signing a petition to reverse the outcome of the referendum. Please come clean with your reasoning. With respect, I am suspicious of your motives. Please prove me wrong.I'm 100 % behind Taman Tun when I say get over it.Regards
Things have not gone quite according to plan for Bo Jo. He was hoping for a narrow Remain victory which would enable him to take over from Cameron after a decent interval. Instead he is now faced with having to deal with unraveling from the EU starting from his very first day on the job.

Skiing & Riding
Sun Valley is Still a Big Part of the Ski Racing Scene
The history of ski racing in Sun Valley is as rich and as impressive as anyplace in the country. And the future is looking pretty bright, too.
It is as if the slopes of Baldy and Dollar were blessed by the ski gods, Ullr and Skadi, to groom the fastest and strongest skiers and snowboarders to ever ride on snow.
Sun Valley has been home to the best in the alpine sports scene since shortly after inventing the world's first chairlift back in the 1930s. It's a tradition that's staying strong and is proudly on display as Sun Valley hosts events like last weekend's Junior Freestyle/Freeskiing National Championships and this week's FIS Western Region Open.
A Racing Foundation
In many ways, ski racing in America really started here, in the heart of mountains of Idaho.
It all began with Gretchen Fraser. Born in raised in Washington state, Gretchen moved to Sun Valley to pursue skiing and to train with the best in the nation. Gretchen excelled and became the first American to win an Olympic gold medal in the sport. She took the top spot at the 1948 Winter Games in St. Moritz.
Gretchen's win would pave the way for generations of women who would hone their skills at Sun Valley—skills that led to international success.
Local Susie Corrock took home Bronze at the downhill in Sapporo in 1972.
Before she was a TV personality, Sun Valley's Christin Cooper earned silver at the 1984 Games in Sarajevo. Picabo Street, who grew up along the East Fork of the Big Wood River in Triumph, brought silver home from Lillehammer in 1994 and gold from Nagano in 1998. Not be overshadowed by traditional alpine skiers, Sun Valley's Muffy Davis earned bronze at the 1998 Paralympics Games in Nagano and three silvers at the 2002 Paralympics in Salt Lake City.
All have runs on the Seattle Ridge section of Baldy named after them: Gretchen's Gold, Muffy's Medals and Picabo's Street.
Of course, Sun Valley also produces some terrific non-racing skiers and snowboarders as well, highlighted by Kaitlyn Farrington. Raised just down the road from Sun Valley in Bellevue, Kaitlyn took home the gold medal in the halfpipe at the 2014 Sochi Games and local school kids lined Main Street of every town in the Valley to welcome her home with impromptu parades.
A passion for winter sport is the real foundation for Sun Valley's success. It's a passion that runs deeply through those of us who live and love to visit Sun Valley. A sentiment Andrea Meade Lawrence knew well.
Andrea trained alongside Gretchen Fraser on the slopes of Sun Valley during the dawn of the sport for women. Andrea would go on to become America's first multiple Olympic gold medalist in alpine events at the 1952 Games in Oslo. I was lucky enough to interview her about a decade ago, shortly before she passed, and Andrea shared some sentiments most of us can relate to.
"Mountains are sacred. They bring the earth to the sky," Andrea said about the power of skiing. "You have to bring your heart, your head and your passion and then get focused."
The Future
While athletes from Sun Valley have continued to rep our area well at the Olympics, the X Games and as stars of ski and snowboard films, successfully hosting high quality events has really helped reestablish Idaho on the racing scene.
Last year, the U.S. Alpine Nationals returned to Sun Valley for the first time since 1951. By all accounts the Championships were terrific as Sun Valley proved to be a perfect host. Things went so well that the Alpine Nationals will be returning to Sun Valley in 2018.
Last weekend, Sun Valley was also delighted to host the USSA Junior Freestyle/Free Skiing National Championships. The 300 top freeskiers in the nation descended upon Sun Valley to show their stuff. And they were all clearly impressed with Sun Valley.
"It went fabulous," said Phil McNichol, the Athletic Director for the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation (SVSEF). "It's big deal for kids 19 and under and, all in all, everyone was super happy with how things went."
Even though no one from Sun Valley made the podium, our local skiers showed well, and offered much promise for the future. Skiers like Luke Rizzo, Will Griffith, Hannah Blackwell and Sammy Smith all performed exceptionally well. Mogul skiers Holden Largay just missed making the podium after what Phil called "the best mogul performance we've seen by a local kid in well over a decade."
Andy Ware, SVSEF's Junior Nationals Director, said the weekend was downright awesome.
"It was fantastic. It couldn't have gone any better," Andy said. "We saw the best athletes in the country performing at a very high level and our local kids were right there with them."
Andy said that other contests, which came from Maine to California and everyplace in between, were impressed with every aspect of Sun Valley. From the terrain and courses created by Nate Sheehan and his team of park designers, to fun side events like the Dodgeball Tournament, to the general community support. "The other kids were all fired up. They loved it," he said,
Andy pointed out that the key to hosting great events and grooming top-notch athletes is the great relationship SVSEF has with Sun Valley Resort.
"Sun Valley was always there for us, " Andy said, explaining the big reason the future of racing and competing in Sun Valley looks so strong.
"Kids here couldn't have it any better," he said. "This is the best place to be a skier or a snowboarder. The future most definitely looks good."
Catch the Future:
The FIS Western Region Open is in Sun Valley this week
The Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation is hosting an Open FIS Western Region Tech Series March 23-26 on Sun Valley's Bald Mountain, with a bonus slalom on March 27. Events include two Giant Slaloms and two Slaloms for men and women.
The races are spectator friendly and will feature some of the best up-and-comers in the West, so you know Sun Valley will not only put on a great event, but will help provide some of the best racers out there.

Hey guys,
Adam Gundersson keeps taking over teams in Dangles and releasing players from those teams, then taking over another team and offering a contract to those same players. He's done this multiple times now and I've reported him for cheating but nothing has been done. He most recently did this with Oshawa Cougars, releasing a prospect and a defenseman, and now he's in charge of the Edson Lightning Bolts, both in GHL.
Please do something about this as it's extremely frustrating. He's somehow a 'Worldclass' manager despite this. I suspect he's the same person we had issues with before, just under a change of name.

'Mirchi' girl's hot move creates stir
Police registered a case of obscenity against item girl Rakhi Sawant while performing at a stage show on May 18.india Updated: May 20, 2006 21:02 IST
Police have registered a case of obscenity against Bollywood item girl Rakhi Sawant while performing at a stage show in Kolhapur on May 18.
Rakhi who was performing at a Bollywood event sponsored by liquor company Haywards here, however, denied the charges.
"I have not done anything vulgar. It was just one of the regular stage shows that I keep performing. I have in no way disrupted peace and harmony or incited violence. Nothing of the sort happened in that show," Rakhi said.
She also said that she had not disrupted peace here but could not help if others turned unruly.

Rockets Professional Biodegradable 0,23g x 1000 in a bag
The long-awaited, high-quality and high-precision Rockets BBs. Thanks to a special manufacturing process, the Rockets ensure a magnificent accuracy and repetability of placed shots.
In the post-production process, each of the Rockets BBs is carefully polished to a high gloss, and additionally to ensure trouble-free cooperation with high precision inner barrels, the BBs are coated with a special layer that reduces friction. This also translates into better cooperation with the Hop-Up bucking.
A fully controlled production process guarantees a perfect sphericity of the BB without visible seams or defects. Lack of air chambers inside the ball as well as a well-placed center of balance result in a very good repeatability of shots.
The diameter is 5.95 mm (+/- 0.01 mm), and the differences in the weight of individual pellets does not exceed 0.01 g. This makes the Rockets BBs perfectly suitable for high-accuracy tight bores.

Weekend Reflections for 11/14/14
At the Savior's command and formed by divine teaching, we dare to say: "Our Father..."
Why the word dare? As kids we used to dare others to do things that were daring, like jumping off a roof or drinking a nasty drink or eating a live goldfish. But what is so daring about saying "Our Father"?
A friend of mine once met Queen Elizabeth. Upon being introduced to her, he said: "I'm so pleased to meet you, Elizabeth." What could be more daring than that?" I'll tell you what: addressing God as Father! Do you want to get yourself zapped right out of existence?
The only saving grace to our addressing God as Father is precisely that: saving grace. After all, we were formed by divine teaching; Jesus himself told us to address God that way, the way Jesus Himself addresses God. I know it must sound very arrogant to a non-Christian to address God so boldly, but that is precisely what Jesus-and his Father, our Father-wants us to do.

I am a Ted Talk fiend. I look for topics of interest to me and watch and learn and take notes and get inspired. My latest find is How to raise successful kids -- without over-parenting by author, Julie Lythcott-Haims.
The Ted Talk is funny and delightful. Most importantly, it reminds me not to be so hard on my children and myself. Like Haims says, I have over-parenting tentendcies and get frustrated when it seems that they are going in the wrong direction. My take away is that I have to let go a little and let the kids live a little and stress will melt away from all of our lives. Take some time to listen, it is worth it.

In parts of the country, there are currently bidding wars going on for homes and often at least one of the parties who is bidding on the property is offering all cash because they are an investor.
If you are not an investor and have recently lost one or two offers on a house that you wanted - there is something you can try... ask your Realtor to put an escalation clause in your offer.
An escalation clause is simply a clause that says something to the effect of "if there are multiple offers on this property, we will pay $500 higher than the highest offer." There are multiple ways to write an escalation clause - but the point is that if you put it in there, you should be the "highest and best" offer at some point in the process.
If you are going to use an escalation clause, be sure to also include a "subject to appraised value" clause as well. That way, you will be sure that you are not paying more for the house than the appraised value. You will also not run into the problem of not being able to obtain financing if you put a 'subject to appraised value" clause because as you already know, lenders won't currently loan more than the appraised value on a home.
So for example, lets say that you put an offer in at $90,000 with an escalation clause that said you will be willing to be the highest offer by $1,000. The seller then gets a cash offer for $99,000, but agrees to sell you the property for $100,000.
If you have a "subject to appraisal" clause in your offer, then if the property appraises at $90,000 the seller will then have to agree to lower the price to $90,000 or the deal falls apart.
And often times that cash offer that was at $99,000 has already went out and bought another house and is long gone when it comes time to look for other offers.
And if everything works out just right, you end up getting that $90,000 house for $90,000 even though the seller at one time had a cash offer of $99,000.
Cross your fingers!

Bigfoot Of The Amazon Jungle: The Mapinguari
| Wildlife & Flora
Many will be familiar of tales of the sasquatch of North America and the yeti of the Himalayas, but have you heard of the Bigfoot of the Amazon? The vast Amazonian jungles of western Brazil and eastern Peru are said to harbor a huge monster that is wrapped in mystery and local legend.
About the Amazonian Mapinguari
Reputed to be the wildest, rarest, most mysterious and terrifying denizen of the rainforest, nearly every Indian tribe in these regions has a word for the creature, which can usually be translated as "the roaring animal" or "the fetid animal". Its most common name is the mapinguari, but it is also known as the capé-lobo (wolf's cape), mão de pilão (pestle hand), pé de garrafa (bottle foot), juma or simply bicho (beast).
Descriptions of the beast also vary wildly. The body of a giant bear; the backward-turned clawed feet like those of a giant armadillo; the face appears monkey or even human-like; trailing a cloud of flying beetles; and a roar like endless thunder. In some areas, the creature is said to have two eyes, while other accounts talk of it having only one, like the Cyclops of Greek mythology. Some versions mention a gaping, stinking mouth in the monster's belly through which it consumes humans unfortunate enough to cross its path. Some legends even attribute it the powers of the supernatural, and even speech. Classic stories describe it as a werewolf-like Indian shaman who discovered the secret of immortality, but paid for it by being transformed into a horrible monster. To see it is to come face-to-face with the devil himself!
But all accounts agree that the creature is tall - two meters, or about seven feet, its upright bulk disconcertingly human-like when it stands on two legs; that it emits a strong, extremely nauseating and disabling smell, like garlic and fetid peccary; and that is has thick, matted red or black fur covering a hard exoskeleton that makes it all but impervious to bullets and arrows.
Though the physical descriptions of the mapinguari may resemble the sasquatch of North America or the yeti of Himalayan lore, the comparisons stop there. Unlike its counterparts elsewhere, the creature does not flee human contact, but aggressively hunts down the hunter, turning the tables on those who do not respect the jungle's unwritten rules and limits.
"Often, the mapinguari gets revenge on people who transgress, who go where they shouldn't go or harvest more animals or plants than they can consume, or set cruel traps," said Márcio Souza, a prominent Brazilian novelist and playwright who lives in Manaus and often draws on Amazon history and folklore in his works.
Evidence of the Mapinguari in the Amazon
The folklore here is full of tales of close encounters with this Bigfoot of the Amazon, stories so widespread and so consistent in their details that in recent years a few scientists have organized expeditions to try to find it.
One in particular, David Oren, a Harvard and Yale-trained biologist and ornithologist, thinks the fabled monster is not only real but actually a living species of giant ground sloth believed extinct for 8,000 years.
This giant sloth, or megatherium, was once one of the largest mammals to walk the earth, bigger than an elephant. These ground sloths were members of the South American group the Xenarthra, which contains modern tree sloths, anteaters and armadillos. Fossil evidence is abundant and widespread in South America, having been found as far south as Chile, and as far north as Florida.
"It is quite clear to me that the legend of the mapinguari is based on human contact with the last of the ground sloths," said Oren, former director of research at the Goeldi Institute in Belém, at the mouth of the Amazon River. "We know that extinct species can survive as legends for hundreds of years. But whether such an animal still exists or not is another question."
Oren is not the first scientist to reach this conclusion. In the late 1800s an Argentinean paleontologist named Florentino Ameghino took an eyewitness story of a strange creature seen in southern Patagonia to also be an indication of a living ground sloth.
Indeed it wouldn't be the first time a creature previously assumed extinct by scientists, yet familiar to locals, was found alive and kicking. About 25 years ago the Chacoan peccary was a seemingly mythical animal, thought to have gone extinct within the last few hundred years, but against all odds this very large species of South American peccary was discovered alive in Paraguay. Indeed an even larger and hence so-called Giant Peccary was discovered in Brazil in 2000. New species are being discovered in this part of the world with great frequency, so much so that no less than ten species of monkeys were discovered in the Amazon in the last decade.
Given that a lot of the Amazon, the greatest expanse of rainforest in the world, remains unexplored, especially one that is rich in ground sloth fossils, is it so hard to believe that such beasts could still live there, unknown to science?
The basis for Oren's hypothesis is largely down to first-hand accounts from "a couple of hundred people" who claim to have seen the mapinguari and a handful who say they have had direct contact. Amazon dwellers year after year described to him stories of mothers with offspring, their seasonal movements to find water, and even what their feces looked like.
Geovaldo Karitiana, a 27-year-old Indian, says there is no doubt that the mapinguari is real. He claims to have seen one about three years ago, as he was hunting in the jungle near an area that his tribe calls the cave of the mapinguari. "It was coming towards the village making a big noise," he said in a recent interview on the tribe's reservation in the western Amazon. "It stopped when it got near me. That's when the bad smell made me dizzy and tired. I fainted, and when I came to, the mapinguari was gone." Karitiana's father, Lucas, confirmed the account. He said that when his son took him back to the site of the encounter, he saw a cleared pathway where the creature had departed, "as if a boulder had rolled through and knocked down all the trees and vines."
Another, 70-year old Joao Batista Azevedo, says he saw a Mapinguari 20 years ago after a 45-day canoe ride from the nearest village. "I was working by the river when I heard a scream, a horrible scream. Suddenly something looking like a man came out of the forest, all covered in hair. He was walking on two legs and thank God he did not come toward us. I will always remember that day."
But it is not just anecdotal evidence he has collected. Oren has taken video footage of clawed trees, taped what he believes are the creature's minute-long thunderous roars, and made molds of large round footprints with backward-facing claws. He also collected hair and 22 pounds of feces, which are undergoing analysis and is hoping the DNA in the hair can be compared to DNA from the blood of living sloths.
Others point to the fact that nearly every Indian tribe in the Amazon, including those who have had no contact with each other, have a word for the creature and that their descriptions are so remarkably similar that it cannot be coincidence. Indeed, Glenn Shepard Jr., an American ethnobiologist and anthropologist based in Manaus in the central Amazon, said he had been among the skeptics who considered the mapinguari "a rural legend" until 1997, when he was doing research among the Machiguenga people of the far western Amazon, in Peru. Tribal members he questioned there about local wildlife all mentioned a fearsome sloth-like creature that inhabited a hilly, forested area in their territory.
Shepard said "the clincher that really blew me away" came when a member of the tribe said as a matter of fact that he had also seen a mapinguari at the natural history museum in Lima.
Upon checking, Shepard found that the man was referring to a diorama with a model of a giant, prehistoric ground sloth. "At the very least, what we have here is an ancient remembrance of a giant sloth, like those found in Chile recently, that humans have come into contact with," he said. "This was a very precise description of an animal and its habits, not some supernatural thing, which the Machiguenga also have in their cosmology. There's still an awful lot of room out there for a large sloth to be roaming around," he said.
The skeptics say the mapinguari is nothing more than a legend. After all, Amazon folklore is full of fanciful creatures, such as the boto and chullachaqui, that are used to explain unwelcome or embarrassing phenomena.
Marcos Vinicius Neves, the director of the government's department of historical and cultural patrimony in the state of Acre, where a statue of a mapinguari has been erected in a public plaza, says "If you're a rubber tapper and you're returning to camp empty-handed, you'd better have a pretty good explanation for your boss and the mapinguari is the best excuse you could possibly imagine!"
Márcio Souza, the aforementioned novelist, also counts himself among those who believe the mapinguari is just a myth. The deforestation of the Amazon has accelerated so rapidly over the last generation, he argues, that if the creature really existed, "there would have been some sort of close encounter of the third kind by now."
Zoologists don't deny that fossil evidence of the megatherium is abundant and widespread in South America, but point to the fact that the scientific trail stops cold thousands of years ago. "When you travel in the Amazon, you are constantly hearing about this animal, especially when you are in contact with indigenous peoples," said Peter Toledo, an expert on sloths at the Goeldi institute. "But convincing scientific proof, in the form of even vestiges of bones, blood or excrement, is always lacking."
Whether a legend, true Amazon Bigfoot or living megatherium, to this day the mere mention of the mapinguari is enough to send shivers down the spines of almost all who dwell in the world's largest rainforest. This fear has even been known to recently cause some villages on the upper Purus River to up sticks and completely change their location after allegedly finding tracks of the mapinguari near their homes.
The prospect of finding megafauna like this however, after several thousand years without being discovered, is unlikely. On the other hand, should Oren be right and the megatherium exists, it would be the largest land mammal in South America and would be powerful evidence of the kind of mysteries the still largely unexplored Amazon basin holds.
To be on the safe side, just in case you do come across a mapinguari on your jungle excursions, take heed of some advice from Domingos Parintintin, a tribal leader in the state of Amazonas:
"The only way you can kill a mapinguari is by shooting at its head, but that is hard to do because it has powers that can make you dizzy and turn day into night. So the best thing to do if you see one is climb a tree and hide."
…and while you are up there be sure to take some photos. We advise against using guns or trying to collect samples of blood or any other kind!

São Tomé e Príncipe (2009)
25th June, 2009. São Tomé
One of latest WWF issue of 2009, illustrates Congo Grey Parrot of São Tomé e Príncipe, an islands and poorest country of Africa. The country located outside Gulf of Guinea and nearest Equator.
Congo Grey Parrot is one of sub-species of African Grey Parrot (非洲灰鸚鵡), this species has been shown here before, the Taiwan and Angola stamps separately. Congo Grey Parrot only can be found in Ilha do Príncipe of this country, and nearest island Bioko of Equatorial Guinea. Congo Grey Parrot owns grey-whited feather, reddish tail with dark-grey bill. Another sub-species of African Grey Parrot is Timneh Grey Parrot (提姆那灰鸚鵡), it is smaller size than Congo Grey Parrot and rarely can be found in natural environment. Population from Guinea-Bissau to Cote d'Ivorie, the different is it owns dark-reddish brown tail and the bill with yellow colour.
Congo Grey Parrot is popular pet over the world, most of parrots are bleeding humanised. Wild lived Congo Grey Parrots are being endangered, unfortunately they are facing illegal catching and trading.

The couple who own the top unit above me are away in Tahoe this weekend, so their tenant decided to have his girlfriend stay overnight. I was dead asleep at 1:15 a.m. when they got home, but her stomping heels on the hardwood floors woke me up. They were in the midst of a mega fight. Usually, I can't hear much of what's said up there, but I could clearly hear her shout at him, "Are you in love with her?" He said something back I couldn't understand, but I heard her response: "Because I'm a woman, and you're my boyfriend, and I love you!"
I don't know if they were throwing stuff or what, but there was stuff bouncing off the floor right above my bedroom ceiling. Sounded like I was living under a bowling alley. I'm surprised my son didn't wake up from all the noise. At one point, I heard the guy tell his girlfriend to "get out of my house!" The girlfriend refused, said she wasn't going anywhere, and that's when I started wondering if I should call the cops. Hell hath no fury and all. Despite whatever he'd done, I was really worried about the guy's safety.
After a while, I went outside and stood in the backyard and could see them upstairs in the kitchen. Their light was on, so they couldn't see me. I was hoping they would, though, so that he'd have a reason to distract his girlfriend from her tirade. I wished I had his phone number. If I did, I'd have called him so he'd have some justification to urge her to chill: the whole guy-downstairs-has-a-kid thing. Finally, after several minutes of her standing over the sink as if she were going to throw up her pain, he put his hand on her back and started to comfort her. Then she turned to him, and they hugged, and he kissed her. That's when I went back to bed. Of course, then their own bed started squeaking like a honeymoon suite, so I could barely fall asleep.
The whole thing got me thinking: Who had he met and where? And when did he finally tell his girlfriend about it? She was so full of emotion, it seemed she had just heard the news. Were they out all night on some date, her enjoying herself and him holding on to this secret that he just couldn't bear? Did he bring it up just as they were walking from their car to the house? It's horrible having to tell someone you've met "someone else." As much as it hurts to hear that from a lover, it's an equally unbearable guilty burden to unload. Ugh! Made me think of a few breakups of my own and how sad and painful and dramatic they can be.
The dramatics upstairs got me thinking how vulnerable everyone is, how strongly we all desire a deep connection with someone, and how desperate we can be when that connection is threatened. In any event, I hope they've worked it out between themselves. If nothing else, I hope they at least go shopping this morning for a few new padded rugs.

Detecting antiferromagnetism of atoms in an optical lattice via optical Bragg scattering
Corcovilos, T.A.
Baur, S.K.
Hitchcock, J.M.
Mueller, E.J.
Hulet, R.G.
Published Version
Antiferromagnetism of ultracold fermions in an optical lattice can be detected by Bragg diffraction of light, in analogy to the diffraction of neutrons from solid-state materials. A finite sublattice magnetization will lead to a Bragg peak from the (1/2 1/2 1/2) crystal plane with an intensity depending on details of the atomic states, the frequency and polarization of the probe beam, the direction and magnitude of the sublattice magnetization, and the finite optical density of the sample. Accounting for these effects we make quantitative predictions about the scattering intensity and find that with experimentally feasible parameters the signal can be readily measured with a CCD camera or a photodiode and used to detect antiferromagnetic order.

It's no mystery to anyone that my favorite color is pink. There is something about the color that instantly makes me smile and when given the choice for a product..if it comes in pink..I get pink. Aerosmith even wrote a song about it and of course, I love that song too.
I have been blogging a lot about High Point Market, and rightly so, as it's the event when twice a year, we designers are introduced to the latest and greatest when it comes to home decor. It's a place where you can cover a lot of ground in just a few short days and with that, can eventually spot the upcoming trends. It's my favorite thing to do. I love to not only go there to shop for clients, but also get a perspective on what's hot for the year to come. And let me tell you guys…pink is HOT right now.
I actually wrote half of this blog before Pantone introduced their color of the year which is pink (Rose Quartz) AND blue (Serenity). Both of which I have seen a lot of recently!
Almost every showroom I went to last market had a vignette of pink or pink product. I loved it! I also love that many furniture lines are using pink without gender in mind. Gone are the days of only having a pink space for a ladies room, or for a little girl. Pink is all of a sudden a color that many are putting in their main living areas. It's also a very handsome color on my husband might I add!
Here's what I have been drooling over recently...

Blue Plate Oysterette/
There's been a resurgence lately of seafood restaurants in Los Angeles, and I've been making the rounds with Connie & Ted's, Salt Air and even some Maine lobster from Enterprise Fish Company. Sometimes you just want, or need, a lighter meal, and of course some Chablis to match. I had yet to try Blue Plate Oysterette so one sunny, Sunday afternoon, a friend and I ventured just north of the Santa Monica pier for some fish and fun.
We got lucky and scored a wooden table outside so we could people watch and admire the surf and sand across the street. If you don't luck into a beautiful warm day, they have blue striped Mexican blankets that you can throw on, or you can belly up to the raw bar inside or grab a table under the light colored walls with beautiful beach pictures.
As the name suggests, there's a rotating list of oysters and a fully stocked raw bar, but we decided to go with some cooked seafood so we started with a tender squid that had been given a smoky flavor from the grill and was strewn on top of a bed of a braised cannelini beans, tuscan kale and ripe cherry tomatoes. I could have just eaten that with the sparkling Rose and had a wonderful afternoon, but we pressed on, for better or worse.
The artichoke salad was more like lightly dressed bitter greens with a few artichokes thrown in with a roasted tomato and shaved parmesan. Nice, but not noteworthy.
The crab cake was a crispy patty of spiced crab sitting on a bed of creamy, lemony aioli. Not your straight up Maryland crab cake, but some interesting flavors mixed in.
It was hard to detect the peach in the bread pudding, but when we did get a piece it was delicious. I just wish there was more of it.
With a name like Blue Plate Oysterette, you should probably stick with their namesake oysters or other delicacies from the raw bar, though I'd happily return for the octopus, sparkling Rose and some great ocean views and people watching.

In South African we have a large selection of meats to choose from. It could be beef, mutton, lamb, pork or chicken. They are all farmed all over this great country, but lately we also have farms that produce venison for commercial use. When I was a child my grandfather and all the farms that were nearby had the yearly shoot somewhere in June/July, but I guess it was not an easy thing for him to do – the hunting season always happened during our winter school holidays, now can you imagine and he had only girls for grandchildren. There would always be a few tears before and after the kill.
The following South African recipe is for Pot Roast Leg or Shoulder of Lamb
This recipe will serve 4
- 1 small leg or shoulder of venison layered with bacon
- 1 Carton of 500ml buttermilk
- 500 grams of mixed dried sherry
- 2 Cloves
- 1 Cinnamon stick
- Salt and Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 Onion halved lengthwise and sliced
- 10 Juniper berries bruised
- 30 ml (tablespoon) of Oil
- 2 plumb garlic cloves, bruised, peeled and crushed
- 1 carrot, scraped and thinly sliced
- 2 bay leaves
- 250 ml (1 cup) meat stock
- Fresh or dried out naartjie peel
- Place the meat in a enamel casserole dish and pour the butter milk over the meat.
- Cover the dish with cling warp and marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
- Spoon the dried fruit, wine, cloves and cinnamon into a mixing bowl. Cover with cling wrap and leave to stand overnight.
- Remove the meat from the marinade, wipe it clean and pat dry with kitchen paper. Season well with salt and paper and rub juniper berries in all over.
- Heat the oil in a large heavy based saucepan and fry the onions, garlic and carrot for 3 minutes. Remove it from the heat and keep it aside for now.
- Fry the meat in the same saucepan until browned all over. Return the onion mixture and add the leaves.
- Pour off the liquid if any from the dried fruit and add it to the stock.
- Add the stock mixture to the meat.
- Cover and simmer for 2 hours. Add the little bit of water or more stock if you think it is necessary.
- Add the soaked fruit cinnamon, cloves and naartjie peel and pot roast uncovered for a further 30 min.

News, tips, and advice for small business owners
People are finding new ways to take advantage of mobile technology seemingly every day – whether that's through their phones, tablet and now watches. You can even adjust the heat or air conditioning of your home using a mobile device at this point.
Curious which mobile platform small business owners are using? According to our recent survey, small business owners are more likely to use Apple than Android, contrary to the how the world's market share breaks down.
Other platforms such as Amazon and Blackberry are used much less than Apple or Android. But any way you slice it, small business owners are spending a lot of time conducting business on their mobile devices. Just slightly more than 15 percent do not use a mobile device for business purposes.

Cardiovascular Diseases
The most common heart disease among Americans is hardening of the coronary arteries, a condition called atherosclerosis, but it's not the only heart-related disorder afflicting millions of Americans, even without weight factoring into the picture. Heart diseases are the leading cause of death among American adults.
Because carrying extra weight increases the stress on the body's organs and processes, including how much blood the body needs and how hard the cardiovascular system needs to work, morbid obesity increases the likelihood of developing heart disease by as much as six times compared to people who maintain a healthy weight. It also ups the risk of sudden death from heart disease-related complications, such as abnormal heart rhythms, by as much as 40 percent [source: GastricBypass.com].

A good limousine service provider should address each of the following points.
Ask for evidence of insurance. The law requires limo rental services businesses to organize for right private hire insurance. But some companies avoid insuring their cars and occupants as its expensive. It is important to ensure that the chauffeurs have driver's licenses. Ask for evidence of both. Operators should be eager to give proof of valid, current insurance coverage for their limousine. Realize that some limousine service providers only insure their vehicles under a personal motor insurance policy. Personal car insurance policies rarely cover the clients who hire the car. Also, verify that they have a license required by state laws.
Ask the company to provide you with testimonials and sufficient evidence that they deliver excellent services.
Testimonials are of very great importance. Although at times what the Limousine operator says to you is probable to be sure, ask for testimonials. When you see what other people had to say, it shows the quality of service the company offers. Choose a reputable, experienced, company with plentiful references. If a company can show that they have operated for many years and has a solid reputation for quality and safety, you are probably in good hands.
Look for quality chauffeurs. A professional driver is just as important to the success of your event as an excellent vehicle. Choose a provider that places a high value on the caliber of their chauffeurs.
Does the limousine service provider put forward any assurance?
Most of the limousine companies do not offer any guarantee. It is a way to deliver marginal service and avoid taking any responsibility. Refuse to hire from any business that does not have some reasonable guarantee. When you find a company that promises, at least, some part of the services, you realize that you are working with a reputable, high-quality operation company. A limousine service that has a guarantee shows that they are sure of a high quality of their service.
The limousine service provider that offers the considerable price and quality service is the one you should hire. All limo services do not cost the same, but it is sensible not just to go with the cheapest service. At times, when you want the best, you need to pay more. You will understand that the extra cost will be worth it to get the right limo service.
When a limo service passes in these five areas, you will get all you need from a limo service for successful travel.

This super thin specialist nymph line is FIPS Mouche competition legal and built on a non stretch core for maximum feel. At only 0.60 mm in diameter, It also features our Super-dri coating so it floats extremely high, and is far more durable compared to PVC or mono-filament based nymph lines or french leaders. The line is stealth olive on one side, and the other end has a flo-orange tip - so you can pick the colour you want to fish dependent on stealth requirements and light conditions. Ultra neat micro welded loops make tippet attachment simplicity itself. This is the ultimate stealth nymph line - no other comes close.

Thought you couldn't afford to incorporate more sustainable living solutions into your homebuyers' or renovation budget? Think again.
When it comes to sustainable living it's a fallacy that it's too expensive upfront for the average homeowner, says director of Solarchitect, Russell Devlin.
Russell notes it's all about budgeting and designing smart solutions, and while people have the right idea about wanting to be more sustainable, they are asking the wrong questions.
It's not a matter of 'Can I afford to incorporate sustainable solutions?' but rather, 'What kind of sustainable solutions can I achieve within my budget?'
Russell points out that sustainable solutions can be found at all levels and incorporating them may be easier and cheaper than you realise, particularly when it comes to energy management.
There are two key areas people should look to first when integrating sustainable energy solutions into the home:
The process of heating and cooling a house can use excess energy from simply not having the appropriate combination of insulation and ventilation solutions for the setting.
Insulation must be balanced with the right ventilation so the house can breathe when it becomes too warm. If it can't breathe, it overheats, becomes humid and this results in condensation, and people end up spending more energy and money ventilating and cooling the place back down.
Similarly, if you install an advanced heating solution but your house lacks insulation, you will notice in your power bill that the heating works on overdrive trying to fill those voids.
"You have to insulate to stay warmer, but you have to provide for some form of ventilation. In some houses it's easier, in older houses they've got a natural degree of leaky air so it varies.
"However – if you seal a house up you're going to get condensation problems – so what do you do? In a new house you would get double glazing, but in an existing house we'd say it's incredibly expensive to retrofit double glazing and you're probably better off initially to have good thermal curtains.
"Remember – you should never use your heat pump for cooling!" Russell says, it's a money-and energy-sucking trap.
When it comes to lighting we consider it as warm or cool lighting. Warm, or more yellow lighting, is ideal for creating a warm allure and trapping heat within homes, while cool, or more blue lighting, helps to prevent a space from absorbing too much heat.
LED over incandescent lighting uses 90 percent less energy and these days it's quite affordable, so a simple change from traditional light fittings to LED can deliver huge savings.
Solarchitect is a Christchurch-based architecture firm offering homeowners' access to a range of clever sustainable living solutions. At the Canterbury Home Show in October, Solarchitect will be presenting its completely self-sufficient Net Energy Zero (NEOTM) home.
By providing Solarchitect with your site information, it can arrange a free initial meeting that includes design proposal. From there it provides clients with a single, low-cost design fee with sketch plans and perspective views, and a build-to-budget figure will be confirmed.
This all-inclusive, fixed-price build contract breaks away from the typical mould of costing architecturally-designed homes retrospectively and opens up a more accessible avenue for connecting homeowners with sustainable solutions.

ABOUT: Lowen dydh sen Pyran! (Happy St. Piran's Day!)
Now in its fifth year, Kernow In The City returns to the Rich Mix Arts Centre, Shoreditch in 2014 for a night of Cornish music, culture and language to celebrate St. Piran's Day - Cornwall's national day.
This year's theme is Cornwall's native language Kernewek. This ancient and unique language was revived in the 20th Century and now has thousands of speakers across Cornwall and beyond.
Our headliners Dalla are the internationally acclaimed leading lights of Cornish traditional music and they sing in their native Cornish language.
'Dalla's performances are both inventive and enchanting, their music celebrates Cornish culture in an upbeat and infectious voice' The Guardian
Louis Eliot is the former frontman of Rialto who scored three top 40 singles in the Britpop era. He now has an acclaimed solo career with his most recent album 'Kittow's Moor' attracting 4-star reviews from some of the most-respected music magazines.
"winning blend of rustic charm and urban cool" **** Uncut
"he's now welded the sound of barn-bound folk to that of pure pop" **** Mojo
A hit at this year's Edinburgh Fringe Festival, casio-rappers Hedluv + Passman bring their songs about pasty etiquette and the challenges of swimming in the sea, with added extreme dance moves.
"dancing in the aisles funny" - Rhys Darby (Flight Of The Conchords)
"hilarious" - Alan Davies (QI)
Led by Cornishman Jake Calladine, Brighton-based group Woodland Blue kick off the night with their mixture of folky inspired melodies, experimental guitar sounds and grooving rhythms. Their new EP is produced by Kate Walsh's producer Tim Bidwell.
Our bi-lingual (Cornish and English) comperes for the evening are comedy duo The Cornish Oafs who use the Cornish language in their act in order to give their comedy a unique edge and to educate audiences about this ancient language.
Proper Cornish pasties from www.thecornwallproject.co.uk and some of the region's fine ales will be on sale at the event to make sure everyone gets a flavour of Kernow at its best.
We are also proud to support Invest in Cornwall and representatives from the organisation will be at the event with information on opportunities within the region.
Dewgh onan hag oll dhe Gernow y'n Sita yn Rich Mix!
Come one and all to Kernow In The City at Rich Mix!

Plans for 2012 will be a little different than in 2011. For starters, I will be travelling to Mozambique at the beginning of April for a two-month stay instead of just one month. My first task will be to continue the Automotive Training Program that was started in August of last year.

|Rick Cogbill and John Topham discussing how to turn a bowl on a wood lathe (photo by Lynn Lagore)
The other reason for returning to Mozambique is to continue the work on the Maintenance Facility. This 6-bay shop will be the focus point for our continuing automotive training, as well as providing a location for servicing all the mission vehicles and equipment.
|Repair pit for future Maintenance Shop (Photo by Dwight Lagore)
At this point, we have poured the foundations and built the repair pit. The next stage is to pour the floors and then begin putting up the concrete block walls.

Qasigiannguit,[2] formerly Christianshåb,[3] is a town located in western Greenland on the southeastern shore of Disko Bay in the Qeqertalik municipality. With 1,171 inhabitants in 2013,[1] it is the thirteenth-largest town in Greenland. The main industry is shrimp and halibut fishing.
The settlement was founded as a trading post for Jacob Severin's company in 1734[4] and named Christianshaab in honor of King Christian VI of Denmark.[5] The name was sometimes anglicized as Christian's Hope.[6]
Paul Egede's former residence is Greenland's oldest surviving wooden building. It was completed on 25 July 1734[7] and moved to its present site in 1806 owing to the heavy wind at its original location across the bay. In 1997, a museum was officially opened in the Egede house. In the summer of 1999, an archaeological discovery provided the museum with a collection of finds from different prehistoric cultures.[8]
During the winter, Air Greenland operates air services from the town heliport to Ilulissat, Qeqertarsuaq on Disko Island and Aasiaat.[9]
During summer and autumn, when the waters of Disko Bay are navigable, communication between settlements is by sea only, serviced by Diskoline.[10] The ferry links Qasigiannguit with Ilulissat, Aasiaat, Ikamiut, Akunnaaq, and Qeqertarsuaq.
With 1,171 inhabitants as of 2013, Qasigiannguit is the second-largest town in the Qeqertalik municipality.[1] The town is steadily depopulating, with the population having decreased by more than 27% relative to the 1990 levels and by nearly 17% relative to the 2000 levels.[11]

So, the price of gold dropped precipitously a few weeks ago. One of the selling points that nearly every gold seller makes is that "gold coins tend to retain their value when the price of gold drops." So, I decided to test it. When I was researching my "rooster" post a couple months ago, I took down some average prices of gold coins on eBay. It's not particularly scientific, but eBay can show you closed auctions and what they sold for, so you can put together a sample of 50 or a hundred retail sale prices and get a picture of actual money paid for a coin.
Since then the price of gold dropped, so now I had a good use for the data: if I look today, a few weeks after the fall, will I see coins still priced about the same as they were pre-fall, or a softer fall, or no fall at all? Here's the numbers:
|Coin on eBay
|Feb Avg
|Apr Avg
|% Chg
|20 Franc Rooster
|10 Franc Rooster
|$5 Eagle
|$10 Eagle
|Average per oz
I sampled coins from a space of about three weeks, from just after the big drop, and I got the "average per ounce" based on the actual gold content of each coin.
When I sampled coin prices in February, the price of gold was $1591 an ounce, and had been pretty close to that through the sample period. The price of gold has changed significantly in the past couple weeks, but we can see how close eBay stayed to the price of gold by using our average loss per ounce from eBay and see how close to the actual numbers we are.
|9% avg.
Well, now, that looks like a pretty even cross-section of prices that an ounce of gold went for over the past few weeks, doesn't it?
At first glance, my reaction was, "woah, gotta buy some cheap $10 gold coins", but like I said, I was rather unscientific: it's likely that when gold hit the bottom, people went for the big coins first, and the average for $10 is a bit skewed versus the smaller 10 Franc coins which saw less of a drop. What this sampling should show is that gold prices on eBay, and prices of gold coins in general, don't necessarily keep their value when the market price of gold drops. Coins are an easy way to be certain of how much gold you're getting with a degree of protection against fakery, but it isn't safer than a gold fund or buying bars of bullion from somebody.
(Footnote on the price per ounce on eBay: eBay coins on average carry a 20% to 25% premium, according to my sampling. Keep this in mind when buying – you pay more on eBay than at your corner coin shop)

Guest Reviews | Key West Hotel Reviews
Beautiful hotel at awesome location. Duval street is just at walking distance which is the most happening place in key west. We were group of 4 but this hotel is best for couple. Just one suggestion, if you can put reserve parking for each room, then it will be easier to park rather getting parking at one spot and while coming back noticing that the place is filled with another car and then contacting the reservation desk to get another parking lot. One more thing we noticed that the plug point and light switch of the 2nd floor bedroom are connected so if we switch off the light the plug point will not work so we can't charge our phone. If we want to charge our phone we have to keep the lights on. Rest all were fine.By: Som November 18, 2014

By Rick Thomas
The call to live the Christian life is a call to die. When you were born a second time (John 3:7), you were granted two gifts. The first was salvation and the second was suffering. For it has been granted to you that for the sake of Christ you should not only believe in him but also suffer for his sake (Phil. 1:29).
If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it (Matt. 16:24-25). Typically when a person enters into a relationship with Christ they are full of hope and confidence, assuming there will be a good time ahead. How could it be otherwise?
As the new Christian continues the journey, he begins to realize how things are more complex and challenging than what he first imagined. The temptation to quit when things become hard is a common human experience. It is easy to look for the exits when relationships become difficult. It is impossible to avoid relational conflict, whether the conflict is with God or someone else. The faith you had when you began the relationship will wane during the relationship.
Every relationship begins with the hope and expectation of good things to come and then stuff happens.
1. Did you know suffering in our world is a component of relationship building?
2. Did you know the ability to endure situational difficulties between two people is an essential ingredient for relational success?
3. Did you know endurance is a distinctive of the Christian life?
Endurance is a grace gift from the LORD. He gives this gift to His children, not just to survive in the relationship, but to mature through the relationship. More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us (Rom. 5:3-4).
Endurance grows out of suffering. No suffering; no endurance. Suffering is a promise from God (Gen. 3:8-18). You do not get to choose as to whether you want to suffer. The mature Christian not only understands this, but he engages suffering with hope, knowing Christ-like character is formed in the crucible of his difficulties. Let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us (Heb. 12:1).
For you had compassion on those in prison, and you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one. (Heb. 10:34). Though they did not know all the reasons why they were going through conflict, they did know who was with them in the conflict. Though they were not getting all of their questions answered, they were aware how there was something that transcended their unanswered questions.
They knew God, and their knowledge of Him, was enough to stabilize their souls during the difficulties they were experiencing. No matter how hard you try, there will never be satisfying answers that will adequately explain all you may want to know about what is happening to you. Your strength and your sanity will come from what you know to be true about God during the hard times.
What you know about Him is what will get you through your dark times. If you are more aware of the God, who is in your trouble, you will only then be able to endure your trouble. Endurance does not come from knowing all the answers for why you are going through hardship.
Endurance comes from knowing God and radically holding on to Him when the hard times are hurled upon your life. God is calling you to Gospel-motivated and Gospel-centered suffering: using your pain as a message to help others. Properly stewarding your pain will happen if what you know and who you know is greater than your pain and your problems.
Christians, who are able to endure hardships, spend more time thinking about God than their problems. Christ kept the end in mind. His deep confidence in what the Father was going to accomplish through Him steadied His soul as He poured out His life on earth.
• If you are lacking endurance, then there is something about your suffering in which you have not come to terms.
• If you are lacking endurance, then there is something you want more than God.
Endurance comes between suffering and character. It is the bridge that connects the two. The way you cross the bridge is by wanting Christ more than anything else in this world. RickThomas.net
