Whilst the property seen in an auction catalogue may seem a bargain, there is highly likely to be a reason for this.

In auction sales, the properties are generally in need of substantial repair and/or modernisation. If you do not possess any experience in auction purchase, it can prove risky.

It is therefore recommended that before making a bid at auction, you ensure that your financing have been put into place in readiness at short notice. This is because the timescale imposed is extremely tight, namely if your bid is accepted at auction, then you sign the contract there and then and you pay a 10% deposit. You will then have approximately 28 days in which to complete the transaction. If you fail to meet these deadlines then you will incur financial penalties.

When considering auction purchases, it is advisable to obtain a copy of the auctioneers’ catalogue. If you find a property that takes your interest, it is advisable to obtain the legal pack which is generally available from the auctioneers’ website. You can then instruct a solicitor to inspect the title documentation to check whether the title contains any awkward covenants or restrictions. The solicitor will also check the auctioneers contract to ascertain whether the conditions of sale prior to any bidding. The solicitor is likely to make a charge for this service although should be successful at auction, the same solicitors can deal with completion of the matter on your behalf and the fee charged for investigating the title documents is likely to be deducted from the cost of the conveyancing bill. Prior to making a bid it is strongly recommended that you arrange a survey to be carried out.

Whilst you will incur the costs of the above and your bid may not prove successful, such advice and survey is likely to save you money in the long term as you may end up with the property which has restrictions that are not suitable for your purposes and the property may have many structural defects.

It is no longer news that email interrupts our train of thought and can spoil concentration. The report below was published in 2005, and since then the researchers have pumped out many more studies. They have also been saying that email, smartphones and the rest are neither good nor bad; how we manage them (or don’t), that is the problem.

The distractions of constant emails, text and phone messages are a greater threat to IQ and concentration than taking cannabis, according to a report by Martin Wainright in the Guardian.

Doziness, lethargy and an increasing inability to focus reached “startling” levels, according to a  survey, which found that “respondents’ minds were all over the place”, and both productivity and the ability to focus dropped as they grappled with the questions and challenges presented by each new email that arrived in their inbox.

Other negative effects were fatigue, and an average IQ loss of 10 points, more than double that found in studies of cannabis users.

What to do about it

Given what we all know, or at least have suspected, it is surprising that people become so slavishly attached to the technology in their pockets. Its one of those situations where ‘we all complain about it but we all continue to do it’.

One thing better

Getting things done is not half as satisfying as doing things well. This is because we get personal satisfaction from giving something all our attention, doing it to the best of our abilities, being absorbed in it while we are doing it, and looking back with pride at a job well done.
“Enough time” has nothing to do with it, as you’ll see.

Trust at work

In difficult economic times the relationship between employees and employers is often tested. Trust suffers and staff turnover increases. But it need not be so. Creating an ethical company is low cost and high-reward.

To all Merry Xmas, I'm now a "Full Member" on Xmas day!

Recommended Posts

Well I thought it's cool that this will be the post that makes me a full member her on Xmas day. I've enjoyed my time on here so much since joining. There are so many great people on here and it truly is the atmosphere I feel all fisherman should share. I've always fished my entire life with family and close friends.

The Producer

Kusuda Wines

Kusuda Wines

Tokyo-born Hiroyuki (known as Hiro) Kusuda trained as a lawyer and worked for Fujitsu, then the Consulate General of Japan in Sydney before throwing it all up to pursue his other love, wine and winemaking. He went to Germany, learned the language, enrolled at Geisenheim and then emigrated to New Zealand to pursue both the Riesling and Pinot grapes – to which a third challenge, Syrah, has now been added. The choice of New Zealand in general and Martinborough in particular apparently came about through tasting the 1992 Ata Rangi Pinot Noir.

Obviously the main market for Kusuda is Japan, where they have developed a cult following, and indeed whence comes the volunteer labour force at harvest time when every grape is rigorously checked before making the cut. Hiro Kusuda is meticulous to an almost fanatical degree, but it explains the exceptional quality and amazing precision of his wines. The Kusuda Pinot Noir was one of the standout wines at the 2013 Pinot Noir Celebration in Wellington, NZ.

The Grape

Riesling's twin peaks are its intense perfume and its piercing crisp acidity which it manages to retain even at high ripeness levels.

In Germany, Riesling constitutes around 20% of total plantings, yet it is responsible for all its greatest wines. It is planted widely on well-drained, south-facing slate-rich slopes, with the greatest wines coming from the best slopes in the best villages. It produces delicate, racy, nervy and stylish wines that cover a wide spectrum of flavours from steely and bone dry with beautifully scented fruits of apples,apricots, and sometimes peaches, through to the exotically sweet flavours of the great sweet wines.

It is also an important variety in Alsace where it produces slightly earthier, weightier and fuller wines than in Germany. The dry Rieslings can be austere and steely with hints of honey while the Vendages Tardives and Sélection de Grains Nobles are some of the greatest sweet wines in the world.

It is thanks to the New World that Riesling is enjoying a marked renaissance. In Australia the grape has developed a formidable reputation, delivering lime-sherbet fireworks amid the continental climate of Clare Valley an hour's drive north of Adelaide, while Barossa's Eden Valley is cooler still, producing restrained stony lime examples from the elevated granitic landscape; Tasmania is fast becoming their third Riesling mine, combining cool temperatures with high UV levels to deliver stunning prototypes.

New Zealand shares a similar climate, with Riesling and Pinot Gris neck to neck in their bid to be the next big thing after Sauvignon Blanc; perfectly suited is the South Island's Central Otago, with its granitic soils and continental climate, and the pebbly Brightwater area near Nelson. While Australia's Rieslings tend to be full-bodied & dry, the Kiwis are more inclined to be lighter bodied, more ethereal and sometimes off-dry; Alsace plays Mosel if you like.

The Region

Close to the southern tip of North Island, some top-class, aromatic Pinot Noir is being made in the sleepy town of Martinborough, with the best rivalling good Burgundy. Compared to the hustle and bustle of Marlborough, the pocket-sized Wairarapa district – with Martinborough at its head – comes across less as a wine-producing region, accounting as it does for three-point-five percent of the country's vines, and more like a cottage industry. Much of this is perhaps down to the compact size of its favoured old-Martinborough terrace with its gravely, sandy, alluvial soils, located an hour's drive east of the country's capital, Wellington.

Another factor is the nature of the winegrowers themselves, often holding down a professional career during the week, and tending their vines at the weekends; so more therapy than husbandry, reflected perhaps in the relatively high land values, making commercial viticulture a tricky proposition. Added to which, and despite being in a rain shadow, this south-eastern corner of North Island is constantly at the mercy of the icy south-easterlies spinning off the Antarctic, bringing frosts five or six times a year, from flowering through to harvest. Pinot Noir yields are therefore often at the 25-30 hl/ha mark.

Just as Cloudy Bay launched a hundred wineries in Marlborough, so it could be argued that Dry River Wines and Ata Rangi provided the spark that lit up Martinborough. While the region's history dates back to the first commercial vintage of 1893, Prohibition intervened, followed by Marlborough's debut, hence Dry River's inaugural vintage was only in 1979, with Clive Paton releasing Ata Rangi in 1985.

Much of the initial buzz surrounding the region came from the Abel or `Gumboot' clone of Pinot Noir whose origins apparently lie in a certain Romanée-Conti vineyard. During the 1960s or 1970s, a cutting was allegedly smuggled into New Zealand via a gumboot, discovered by the then customs officer Malcolm Abel who in turn propagated it on the quiet before releasing it to Ata Rangi. To this day, one sniff of a barrel of Abel Pinot Noir conjures up visions of Musigny – something evidently not lost on Nigel Greening, who planted most of his Cornish Point vineyard with it.

Though Pinot Noir put the region on the map and continues to turn heads in the hands of Dr Neil McCallum (Dry River), Clive Paton (Ata Rangi), and, more recently, Chris Archer of Alana Estate, economically the region is arguably better-suited to Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling and even Gewürztraminer. Unlike Marlborough, or Burgundy for that matter, this region has to juggle several varieties to make ends meet – not an easy task. The regional style is dark plum and chocolate black fruit, with a savouriness akin to meat.

‘Ma! Ma! Where’s my Pa?’

    Presidential campaign mudslinging took on a decidedly salacious tone in 1884 when New York Governor Grover Cleveland, a Democrat, faced Republican U.S. Senator James Blaine.
    Even before he was nominated, stories of bachelor Cleveland’s sexual escapades swirled around the country. Only one of the stories was confirmed, but it was a doozy – at least by the standards of the day.
    Rather than deny the incident, Cleveland’s campaign admitted the candidate and Maria Halpin were “illicitly acquainted” in 1874. The campaign noted that Cleveland was unmarried and contended Halpin, a 38-year-old widow, was nothing but a harlot. She wound up pregnant after their encounter. A number of Cleveland’s prominent married friends had bedded down Halpin as did Cleveland, the campaign claimed. To protect his friends’ reputations, Cleveland said he was the father and helped Halpin place the child with a decent family.

Many thanks to very venerable Thijs (Brabander) for this. I've had it for quite some time now and given the recent spate of grey gloomy wet weather I figured there was no better time than the now.

Dynamite smell in the bottle before being poured into a Westvleteren glass. Looks good there too with a dark bown sparkle and orangy highlights but the 8's decent appearance really cloaks the greatness of this beer. There is no big super rocky head to disorient your senses and distract you from any shortcomings like other (supposed) 'world class' beers . Instead you're immediately hit by a near perfect roasty almost nutty smokey slightly medicinal smell.
The taste if of some darkish chocolate earthiness with just the perfect interplay of some sweetness and just a dash of soya. Unbelievably super complex flavour which just evolves, evolves and evolves in the glass. Wicked dryness too and a very well integrated thought provoking firm strong slightly acidic backbone.

Amazed that I I almost like this as much as the 12. The 8, well, its another high octane tasty austere effort from those Westvleteren folks. Just what I would expect. And my expectations are pretty heavenly.

look: 5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 5 | feel: 5 | overall: 4.5

The pleasure to enjoy this magical beer at the Cambrinus Restaurant in Brugge in complement to a fine late lunch is as welcome in my memory bank as profound as any I have had in all my beer drinking days.

As the beer pours into the challice, the carbonation errupts and threatens to overtak the rim. But alas, it settles into a creamy and rocky set of tightly and loosely knit foam with tremendous staying power and intricate lace to boot. The beer underneath is a dark garnet with lavender highlights carrying a modest yeasty haze. The beer just exudes prowessness.

Delicate and succulent aromas provide a candied fruit scent of powdered sugar, ripe grape, light sherry wines, cahsews, honey, mild chocolate and toast. A mild spicy note that seems somewhat of wine, wood, dried orange peel, and peppercorn come to life just as the first sip is taken.

The taste envelops the mouth, coating it with the taste of powdered sugar, dry malt, red wine, candied grapes, nuts, berries, and the background note of dried pitted fruits like dates and figs. Very well balanced with dry malt tannin, spicy peppercorn, and slight citrus- this beer captures wave after wave of flavor combination with exquisit balance and finesse.

Soft and expansive textures seem to explode in the mouth giving an airy robustness that's somewhat firm and whimsical at the same time. But the beer's ultimate dry and powdery warmth causes it to disolve on the tongue just like cotton candy, and when the beer finishes there's nothing there to swallow- only an impression of dry fruit and spice that lingers softly in aftertaste but easy on the palate and stomach.

It's time once again to add a little beer to this mug of mine. Since the first addition to the glass was Westvleteren 12, I've decided to keep it in the family and go with Westvleteren 8, the best dubbel on the planet according to those whom I respect and admire.

Pecan shell brown that takes on more of an auburn hue with orange highlights when backlit. The voluminous toast brown head appears frothysoft, but is deceptively firm with a supernatural persistence. This beer is simply beautiful in the glass. Lovely aroma of heavily toasted caramel, dried fruit (apples, figs) steeped in brandy, and spice (cinnamon, allspice). The nose is complex to be sure, although it could be a mite stronger.

Wonderful flavor; delicious. My first impression is that, although there are many flavors to be had in this bottle, the beer is unquestionably a seamless, individual entity. As I drink, I actually have a mental image of a sphere that has multiple and varied components, but is first and foremost a perfectly smooth whole. My first bottle of exceptional wine was an eye opening experience because it introduced me to the concept of what I like to call 'volume'. This beer has an superabundance of volume.

When a beer is this well-crafted, this flavorful, this complex and this nuanced, when it has a body that is at once full and silky smooth, each mouthful seems to completely fill the mouth, to have such a depth and breadth of flavor and body that it expands into three dimensions and push the boundaries of sensation. That, my friends, is the best way that I can devise to describe the loveliness that is Westvleteren 8.

The flavor profile is amazingly similar to the nose, but much more satisfying ('tis the taste, the actual imbibing that I crave). Sweet, dark caramel-toffee, brandy-soaked cherries, leather, good bourbon... combined with a grace and a lightness of touch that will make your very soul weep with pleasure.

Is Westvleteren 8 better than Westvleteren 12? My vote is an unqualified 'yes'. I could drink this every day for the rest of my life and not tire of its myriad charms. This is as soul satisfying and as life affirming as beer gets.

4.85/5  rDev +8.5%
look: 4.5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 5 | feel: 5 | overall: 5

Presentation: .33l brown bottle. Direct from the source, so no label. Just a blue cap and the number 8. Served in a traditional Westvleteren silver rimmed chalice glass.

Appearance: Pours a mean chunky off-white head of stiff foam. Settles to a patchy lace with sticking and staying power. Colour is a very deep, dark ruby. Poured leaving most of the yeast in the bottle.

Smell: Incredibly rich aromas of Belgian candy sugar, toffee, yeast and gentle spices -- like anise.

Taste: Extremely smooth on the palate with a wonderful creamy mouthfeel with a fine and gentle carbonation. Luscious malt flavours of chocolate, coffee, licorice/anise, toffee, prune and honey unfold onto the palate with a slightly slick buttery-like (diacetyl). Notes of brandy pull-thru for even more depth of character. A racy sharpness hits with a unique yeast flavour, very mild tea-like bitterness and a spicy alcohol presence. Perfect balance. Dry finish, a little slick on the palate, a bit oily, with coffee and earth flavour residuals and alcohol vapors.

Notes: I'd go as far as saying that this is without a doubt one of the best beers on the planet. Truly a masterpiece.

Appearance: Pours a dark amber color with a pancake batter head that drapes sheets of lace

Smell: Very different aromatics from this one - phenolic scent of caramelized apple, rum-soaked raisins, french toast with vanilla sugar, honey and almonds

Taste: Opens with a rum-soaked raisin and caramel flavor with budding vanilla flavors by mid-palate; Amaretto, as well; after the swallow, the caramel, creme brulee takes over and additional alcohol appears on the finish

Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate carbonation; very smooth

Drinkability: While very similar to its boozy cousin, this one is less sweet and less alcoholic and, in my opinion, much more drinkable

Thanks, UncleJimbo, for the long-awaited experience

Finally a chance to get my hands on a Westy and well not as awed as many others by this beer.Pours a deep brown almost black color with a fizzy head that didnt stick around to long,aroma of spiced apples and quite yeasty.Very raisiny and somewhat spicey up front, with a light medicinal note as it warms along with some alcohol tones.I highly anticipated this beer and was left a little dissapointed.

My first Westy ever, at the Kulminator in Antwerp!

Appearance: A dark brown pour with a very rich looking tan head.

Smell: I fund the nose to have a suprising tartness to it and light woody notes. There are hints of spice and unsweetened chocolate here as well.

Taste: Now this is what i was waiting for! A lovely creamy, rich body with wonderful sweetness and complexity. Hints of cocolate, black licorice and caramel reign supreme. Underlying spice gives the beer an extra kick.

Mouthfeel: Creamy and rich. A full and satisfying beer.

Drinkability: How about all the time?! Fantastic beer with great complexity and great dinkability. This is what brewing is all about.

look: 5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 5

Appearance  Gorgeous, deep brown color with a gigantic whitish tan head that laced every square exposed inch of the inside glass.

Smell  Strong aroma of molasses and fine brown sugar. Some malt as well, and a few other things that I couldn't pinpoint. The smell says its serious.

Taste  This is a hearty brew. The initial taste is almost like a good single malt scotch. It is so sweet, but a sophisticated sweet. I dont know what it is, almost like a good rye or barley flavor. The malt is there, too, along with a presence of alcohol and even a bitter, slightly burnt, dark flavor. This beer has it all, and it's all well executed.

The finish just keeps going. Its almost like syrup  it lingers in your mouth forever. I cant say enough about the flavor of this beer. Im a big fan of the (properly done) darker European ales (weitzens, abbeys, etc) and this one just blows me away.

Mouthfeel  I thought the beer was undercarbonated ever so slightly (for my taste), but typical of the style. The smoothness though was beyond reproach.

Drinkability  This is its strong suit. The 5.0 that Im giving it here under represents my enjoyment in drinking this bottle.

Comments  I had never heard of this beer until I went into a store and, for no real reason, tossed it in my cart. When I logged on I realized that I may have grabbed a diamond in the sand, and I was right.

I think that I might just like this one a touch more than the 12. The 8 has lighter aromas and flavors, a softer body and a lighter palate. The reduced alcohol gives the beer a less vinous character, which allows more delicate components of the nose and tongue to shine through. This is certainly more subtle but I dont think its lacking anything significant on the 12. Its just a different beer. One item that I must note is the body. IN addition to being generally softer, the 8 seems to be considerably more bubbly. The head is slightly more aggressive on the lips and tongue and the more assertive carbonation seems to do a better job of cleansing the palate between sips. Each next sip, is therefore closer resembling the original, full flavored, mind blowing sip. I like this about the beer. I also like that it looks, tastes, and smells just uncannily good and also that its damn near impossible to find. What a treat it is and well worth every penny, or couple thousand pennies that one must drop to get a bottle.

A: Dark brown with a medium sized off-white/pale brown head that dissipates slowly and leaves plenty of lacings.

S: Light fruity aromas and plenty of malts - very thick and robust. Notes of fudge and toffee mixed with earthy herbal aromas. Some spicy phenols and alcohol. Rather complex and well balanced, but it's not as impressive or as powerful as I had expected.

T: A similar balance between fruity aromas and malts as in the smell: cherries, slightly tart red currants rests upon a decent malty backbone. Fudge and caramel delivers much of the sweetness. Dark bread, a gentle note of wood and just a hint of blanket (which I find a bit odd). The finish is slightly phenolic and somewhat bitter with notes of sweet alcohol, herbs and minerals.

M: Full bodied, smooth texture. The finish is somewhat dry. A very pleasant mouthfeel.

D: A good beer, very good actually. Complex, well balanced and tasty. But one of the best beers in the world? Perhaps not, in my humble opinion.

Carries the flavor of the famous Westvleteren 12, but without so much of the depth or complexity. Still an amazing beer, more drinkable in the sense that if you have 3 your head doesn't start swimming, but you cant shake the feeling that the 12 is that much better and what you really want. Similar to Dogfish 90/120 in that sense, the 90 is good in its own right but still just pales in comparison to its big brother.

Anyhow, the beer itself looks and smells excellent, extremely dark with a tan head. Definite mix of darker fruits and malts, goes down extremely easy especially for a beer with 8% alcohol. Nicely carbonated, and like its big brother best enjoyed at the cafe opposite the monastery for the full experience.

Appearance - Pours a dark reddish color, with about half an inch of head that sticks to the sides of the glass, giving this beer "legs"

Smell - Sweet apples and grapes, bready and yeasty smell.

Taste/Mouthfeel - Very smooth and creamy, with just the right amount of carbonation. Lots of fruitiness here, with plum and grape flavors taking the forefront. Dry aftertaste with a mild alcohol warming sensation.

Drinkability - Hands down one of the most drinkable beers I've ever had. I finished off this bottle in no time. Each sip leaves you yearning for another. Damn near perfect brew.

Review from Inaugural Issue of Beeradvocate Magazine.

Four-year-old bottle--a gift from a friend. Poured into a silver-rimmed Westvleteren chalice, a nearly opaque, dark, rusty brown, with shimmering ruby hues, a tightly-laced creamy beige head atop, and a settled, healthy, ringed lace. Toffee in the nose, along with a suggestion of dates. On the palate, very dry up front, and incredibly complex beneath. Powdery malts, dextriny notes of carob, honey, and a spike of sherry. Similar malted milky sweetness proﬁle found in the Blonde, but with more depth. Soft prune, date sugar, hint of anise, slightly roasty around the edges, carob and a brush of toffee. Light phenols, herbal. Slightly fumy alcohol on the breath. Dry, powdery ﬁnish.

Westvleteren 8 is ﬁne aged, but it's become a bit too dry and muted for our liking. Delicious fresh, and arguably better than Westvleteren 12 in drinkability.

Comments for Lech

Famous Bearer
Personal Impression
In addition to being the source of the name Lech, the Lendians have given rise to the names of Poland in many foreign languages (for example, in Iran, Poland is called Lahestan, which is derived from the Lendians). Lechia is an obsolete name for Poland derived from the Lendians.
Buneary  5/10/2017
Makes me think of the word "lecher".
bananarama  11/25/2008
Kníže Lech je legendární postava českých a především polských dějin. Podle pověsti přivedl Poláky do Polska a založil Hnězdno. Lech byl mladší bratr praotce Čecha.

Prince Lech is a legendary character of Czech and Polish history. According a myth was the founder of the Polish people. Lech was the younger brother of forefather Čech.

Specialists agree that the name Lech comes from a Slavic element "lest'" - a cunning action. So "lestek" is a cunning man.

Sanitary product pilot to be rolled out

    Aberdeen Image copyright Getty Images

    A task to offer totally free hygienic items to ladies from low earnings families in is to be presented throughout the nation.

    The plan – developed to deal with “duration hardship” – was released in July in 2015 .

    The six-month pilot was continued in March, and has actually dispersed totally free items to more than 1,000 females.

    Equalities Secretary Angela Constance has actually revealed the job will be extended throughout .

    Campaign influenced by the cinema

    Image caption In “I, Daniel Blake”, single mom Katie (Hayley Squires) has a hard time to manage fundamentals products

    The project to supply totally free womanly health items was, in part, influenced by the 2016 movie I, Daniel Blake.

    The movie, a 2016 movie directed by Ken Loach – consists of a scene where an impoverished female character shoplifts a package of tampons.

    Scots scriptwriter Paul Laverty composed the scene after fulfilling females who had a hard time to manage necessary health items.

    The pilot plan was led by the Community Food Initiatives North East (CFINE) social business, and was invited by anti-poverty advocates, consisting of The .

    It follows a growing project requiring “self-respect” for females whose spending plans do not extend to hygienic security.

    Ms Constance checked out CFINE to become aware of the work, and revealed that, following the effective pilot in Aberdeen, the charity will disperse hygienic items from websites around the nation, reaching an approximated 18,800 individuals.

    Ms Constance stated: “It is inappropriate that anybody in Scotland must be not able to gain access to hygienic items and I am delighted that we have the ability to deal with FareShare to make items readily available more extensively through the services provided by their partners.”

    Gillian Kynoch, of FareShare in Scotland, stated: “We are thrilled to be dealing with the Scottish federal government to utilize our network to make hygienic items offered to individuals throughout Scotland.”

    Labour MSP invited the extension of the plan, however required a statutory requirement to guarantee complimentary arrangement in universities, schools and colleges in addition to “positioning a task on the Scottish federal government to provide a complimentary universal system of gain access to”.

    She stated: “Scotland can be a world in taking on duration hardship if we are strong adequate to take these extreme actions.”

    Is this actually an issue in Scotland?

    In 2016, the Trussell Trust charity stated of the 133,000 individuals who utilized Scotland’s food banks in the previous fiscal year, “thousands” gotten womanly health items.

    The charity’s Scotland , , stated Scots were depending on food banks for important toiletries after discovering themselves in “hard monetary scenarios” – frequently due to benefit sanctions, postponed salaries or low earnings. Due to the fact that they were not able to pay for female hygienic items, #peeee

    The charity employee stated some females had actually even resorted to utilizing toilet roll, socks or paper.

Football Rumours: Jose Mourinho threatens changes at mis-firing Chelsea, while Premier League fans to protest high ticket prices

editorial image

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has threatened to drop his senior players unless they improve quickly after a poor start to the season, reports the Daily Express.

The defending champions are currently eight points off leaders Manchester United in a lowly 14th spot.

So far they have already lost three league games this season and conceded 14 goals in the process.

Former Red Devils defender Gary Neville says Chelsea’s performances so far this season represent more than an early-season blip, and that their first-half performance at Newcastle was “ridiculous,” say Sky Sports

Former Liverpool captain Jamie Redknapp has dismissed Brendan Rodgers’ claims of an alleged conspiracy to have him sacked as Liverpool boss, reports the Liverpool Echo.

The underfire manager says injuries to striker Daniel Sturridge last season cost them a top-four finish and a trophy. (Telegraph)

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal believes that his decision to show several players the Old Trafford exit door helps to explain his team’s surge to the top of the Premier League table, reports ESPN football.

Fans will stage a number of protests as part of the ‘Twenty’s Plenty’ campaign at the weekend after the Premier League’s average ticket prices were revealed to be the most expensive in the world at £53.76 - more than double Germany’s Bundesliga.

Crosby wins lone Arlington race, all articles approved

ARLINGTON — Linda P. Crosby won the race for delinquent tax collector, Arlington's only contest Tuesday night, and all of the articles that went before voters were approved.

Crosby received 210 votes, while her challenger, Kendell Jennings, received 94.

Select Board members Cynthia Browning (268 votes) and Daniel Harvey (262 votes) ran unopposed for re-election to a two-year seat and a three-year seat, respectively. There were several uncontested races: John Whalen for moderator, Joseph Garger for lister, Bill Budde for auditor, John Wilcox for cemetery commissioner, Darlene Young for grand juror, and Susan Jennings for trustee of public funds. Nobody ran for town agent or a second trustee of public funds position.

All of the articles passed by a wide margin.

Articles 10 through 18 were requests to put a total of $138,000 into the town's Capital Reserve Fund for a variety of projects. The projects include the replacement or repair of the town's fire and highway department trucks and equipment, resurfacing of roads, maintaining bridges and culverts, and the purchase or repair of computers.

Articles 19 through 39 were community appropriations requests, totaling $75,154. The largest requests came from the Arlington Rescue Squad, which was seeking $32,500, and the Martha Canfield Library, which was seeking $19,000. All other requests were under $5,000.

The final three articles asked voters whether or not the following community organizations should be granted an exemption from property taxes for the next five years: Arlington Fire Company #1, the Arlington Lions Club, and the Arlington Community House.

On Monday night, residents at the annual floor meeting approved the town's $1.43 million municipal budget.

Eco friendly homes

Eco friendly homes are coming in vogue for those with a green persuasion. Whether it's because folk are seriously interested in saving the planet for their grandchildren, or simply to keep up with the Jones, it makes no difference; an investment in environmentally friendly houses makes good economic sense.

Then of course with the prices of utilities soaring for the home owner in many parts of the world, investing in green technology makes a lot of sense.

Utility companies will often score off residential properties.

For example in Spain the price of non-residential electricity is quite low at 107 euros per megawatt-hour, but more than double that for home owners.

In South Africa Eskom is planning to raise the price of electricity by 33% in 2018 to recover losses from corruption and inefficiency during the Zuma presidency years.

All of this makes an investment in a green home more attractive.

With the price of water in cities such as Cape Town set to double next year, that's assuming there's aqua to be had, an investment in water harvesting and storage doubly makes sense too.

So what are the issues to look out for when purchasing, or building, eco friendly homes?

Orientation is vitally important; our north facing home captures all the light and heat in winter from the low-slung sun; avoid east-west houses.

Keeping the warmth out in summer, and in during the winter months makes a huge difference to both the comfort and cost of running an eco friendly home.

In a brick under tile home, one is thinking of a hundred or more years, so recycled polystyrene is a good option. It's indestructible by termites. Those sheets would go under the concrete floor, in the cavity between brick or block walls, as a ceiling board and as a thermal blanket in the roof.

Brick wall insulation with polystyrene.

In homes with a shorter expected lifespan, paper recycled into sheets is perhaps a better option. A polyester blanket made from recycled plastic bottles is also an option above the ceiling.

Large windows with double glazing will let light and warmth in during the winter months, if the home is correctly faced south in the Northern hemisphere, and vice versa where I live in Africa.

In the summer, with the sun overhead, less direct heat penetrates.

This obviates or at least reduces the need for under floor heating and air conditioning.

If you are seriously interested in building an environmentally friendly house, and live in KZN, South Africa then think of contacting Ecobuilders.

This is Bernard Preston's home with a vacuum tubes on the right filling a hot water geyser, and part of his 5.1kW of PV panels above supplying electricity.

Solar power energy is a must for eco friendly homes.

  • Heating of water requires more than half of the energy used in many homes. Vacuum tubes can reduce this electrical or gas cost to almost zero.
  • Solar PV panels can by harvesting sunshine provide the total electrical needs for a home, but you have to be grid tied, or have a bank of batteries.
  • The chimney of a little woodstove is seen, used primarily for heating in winter.

Harvesting rainwater

Harvesting rainwater has become a major issue for eco friendly homes, with many cities around the world is serious trouble. Whether it's climate change, or simply bad management of the existing infrastructure, and poor planning for the future, we need to become resilient in the face of these difficulties.

Storing that rainwater in above ground tanks is a poor option; they are unsightly, expensive and the water too warm in summer.

Better still is the building of an underground reservoir which works out cheaper in the long run, and we can easily store far more water.

That water is icy cold reducing the proliferation of any bacteria that might get into the reservoir from the roof, where birds' droppings can be a problem. Mostly the heat of the roof takes care of the bugs, and we've had no problems with drinking the water.

Solar powered gate motor

With sensitive charging equipment, vulnerable to both lightening strikes and utility surges, a solar powered gate motor should be a feature of eco friendly homes.

Depending on the amount of traffic, I actually recommend two 25W PV panels at 90 degrees, one to collect early morning sunshine and the other for the afternoon. A battery of at least 35Ah is desirable; good second hand electric golf cart batteries can be bought for a song.

I have both a sealed battery, and one which must be filled with distilled water periodically; both seem equally good.

This single 10W PV panel we found was inadequate during inclement weather.

Read more about how to make your own solar gate motor.

Eco friendly homes

Eco friendly homes are becoming a sought after acquisition, making investment in solar and water harvesting more attractive.

One could add other items such as compost heaps, a vegetable garden and even a worm farm for kitchen waste, but these can be added later at minimal cost.

Planting organic fruit trees take rather longer; purchasing a house with an established lemon and avocado tree would be a big plus.

Five cardboard boxes to separate paper, plastic, glass, can and tetrapak waste is not difficult.

Heating and cooling

Cooling during the day is no problem in eco friendly homes, but heating at night certainly is.

With surplus electricity being produced by solar generators during the day when it's hot, running an airconditioning unit can certainly be considered environmentally friendly.

Compromise with heating at night, using either electricity from a utility power station, or a small woodstove; both contribute to greenhouse gases. Should one have to chop down trees specifically for the latter, that would swing matters in favour of the power station. Where there is surplus timber, then the woodstove heating system would make more sense.

Here is a tree down in our garden blown down in a massive wind storm. After the chainsaw, I will use a hydraulic splitter to produce suitably sized logs.

Once in three lifetimes

Bratvolds triple winners in moose license lottery

By Jerry W. Kram

North Dakota hunters are well aware that the odds of getting a once-in-a-lifetime moose license are pretty long. Some hunters have put in for the license every year for decades only to be disappointed. A young New Town man was lucky enough to be drawn on his very first try this year. It might have been expected, as he comes from lucky stock. Dougie Bratvold is the third generation in his family to snag one of the rare permits.

Dougie, 15, was accompanied with some experienced guides on his hunt. His grandfather, Warren Bratvold had his opportunity for a moose hunt about 20 years ago in Pembina County. His father Doug got his moose about 10 years later. The first day of their hunt they went north to near the Candian border.

"We found one moose laying down in a draw," Warren said. "Dougie didn’t want to shoot that one because it was too small. I was thinking, if you have a moose in your sights, shoot the thing. But after we started talking about it, we were lucky we didn’t shoot it because we would have had a heck of a time getting it out of there. We spent about 10 minutes looking at it. That was about 10 a.m. the first day."

Bible Book List

Colossians 3 New English Translation (NET Bible)

Exhortations to Seek the Things Above

Therefore, if you have been raised with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Keep thinking about things above, not things on the earth, for you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ (who is your life) appears, then you too will be revealed in glory with him. So put to death whatever in your nature belongs to the earth: sexual immorality, impurity, shameful passion, evil desire, and greed which is idolatry. Because of these things the wrath of God is coming on the sons of disobedience. You also lived your lives in this way at one time, when you used to live among them. But now, put off all such things as anger, rage, malice, slander, abusive language from your mouth. Do not lie to one another since you have put off the old man with its practices 10 and have been clothed with the new man that is being renewed in knowledge according to the image of the one who created it. 11 Here there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all and in all.

Exhortation to Unity and Love

12 Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with a heart of mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, 13 bearing with one another and forgiving one another, if someone happens to have a complaint against anyone else. Just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also forgive others. 14 And to all these virtues add love, which is the perfect bond. 15 Let the peace of Christ be in control in your heart (for you were in fact called as one body to this peace), and be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and exhorting one another with all wisdom, singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, all with grace in your hearts to God. 17 And whatever you do in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Exhortation to Households

18 Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. 19 Husbands, love your wives and do not be embittered against them. 20 Children, obey your parents in everything, for this is pleasing in the Lord. 21 Fathers, do not provoke your children, so they will not become disheartened. 22 Slaves, obey your earthly masters in every respect, not only when they are watching—like those who are strictly people-pleasers—but with a sincere heart, fearing the Lord. 23 Whatever you are doing, work at it with enthusiasm, as to the Lord and not for people, 24 because you know that you will receive your inheritance from the Lord as the reward. Serve the Lord Christ. 25 For the one who does wrong will be repaid for his wrong, and there are no exceptions.

Luke 22 The Message (MSG)

The Passover Meal

22 1-2 The Feast of Unleavened Bread, also called Passover, drew near. The high priests and religion scholars were looking for a way to do away with Jesus but, fearful of the people, they were also looking for a way to cover their tracks.

3-6 That’s when Satan entered Judas, the one called Iscariot. He was one of the Twelve. Leaving the others, he conferred with the high priests and the Temple guards about how he might betray Jesus to them. They couldn’t believe their good luck and agreed to pay him well. He gave them his word and started looking for a way to betray Jesus, but out of sight of the crowd.

7-8 The Day of Unleavened Bread came, the day the Passover lamb was butchered. Jesus sent Peter and John off, saying, “Go prepare the Passover for us so we can eat it together.”

They said, “Where do you want us to do this?”

10-12 He said, “Keep your eyes open as you enter the city. A man carrying a water jug will meet you. Follow him home. Then speak with the owner of the house: The Teacher wants to know, ‘Where is the guest room where I can eat the Passover meal with my disciples?’ He will show you a spacious second-story room, swept and ready. Prepare the meal there.”

13 They left, found everything just as he told them, and prepared the Passover meal.

14-16 When it was time, he sat down, all the apostles with him, and said, “You’ve no idea how much I have looked forward to eating this Passover meal with you before I enter my time of suffering. It’s the last one I’ll eat until we all eat it together in the kingdom of God.”

17-18 Taking the cup, he blessed it, then said, “Take this and pass it among you. As for me, I’ll not drink wine again until the kingdom of God arrives.”

19 Taking bread, he blessed it, broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body, given for you. Eat it in my memory.”

20 He did the same with the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant written in my blood, blood poured out for you.

21-22 “Do you realize that the hand of the one who is betraying me is at this moment on this table? It’s true that the Son of Man is going down a path already marked out—no surprises there. But for the one who turns him in, turns traitor to the Son of Man, this is doomsday.”

23 They immediately became suspicious of each other and began quizzing one another, wondering who might be about to do this.

Get Ready for Trouble

24-26 Within minutes they were bickering over who of them would end up the greatest. But Jesus intervened: “Kings like to throw their weight around and people in authority like to give themselves fancy titles. It’s not going to be that way with you. Let the senior among you become like the junior; let the leader act the part of the servant.

27-30 “Who would you rather be: the one who eats the dinner or the one who serves the dinner? You’d rather eat and be served, right? But I’ve taken my place among you as the one who serves. And you’ve stuck with me through thick and thin. Now I confer on you the royal authority my Father conferred on me so you can eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and be strengthened as you take up responsibilities among the congregations of God’s people.

31-32 “Simon, stay on your toes. Satan has tried his best to separate all of you from me, like chaff from wheat. Simon, I’ve prayed for you in particular that you not give in or give out. When you have come through the time of testing, turn to your companions and give them a fresh start.”

33 Peter said, “Master, I’m ready for anything with you. I’d go to jail for you. I’d die for you!”

34 Jesus said, “I’m sorry to have to tell you this, Peter, but before the rooster crows you will have three times denied that you know me.”

35 Then Jesus said, “When I sent you out and told you to travel light, to take only the bare necessities, did you get along all right?”

“Certainly,” they said, “we got along just fine.”

36-37 He said, “This is different. Get ready for trouble. Look to what you’ll need; there are difficult times ahead. Pawn your coat and get a sword. What was written in Scripture, ‘He was lumped in with the criminals,’ gets its final meaning in me. Everything written about me is now coming to a conclusion.”

38 They said, “Look, Master, two swords!”

But he said, “Enough of that; no more sword talk!”

A Dark Night

39-40 Leaving there, he went, as he so often did, to Mount Olives. The disciples followed him. When they arrived at the place, he said, “Pray that you don’t give in to temptation.”

41-44 He pulled away from them about a stone’s throw, knelt down, and prayed, “Father, remove this cup from me. But please, not what I want. What do you want?” At once an angel from heaven was at his side, strengthening him. He prayed on all the harder. Sweat, wrung from him like drops of blood, poured off his face.

45-46 He got up from prayer, went back to the disciples and found them asleep, drugged by grief. He said, “What business do you have sleeping? Get up. Pray so you won’t give in to temptation.”

47-48 No sooner were the words out of his mouth than a crowd showed up, Judas, the one from the Twelve, in the lead. He came right up to Jesus to kiss him. Jesus said, “Judas, you would betray the Son of Man with a kiss?”

49-50 When those with him saw what was happening, they said, “Master, shall we fight?” One of them took a swing at the Chief Priest’s servant and cut off his right ear.

51 Jesus said, “Let them be. Even in this.” Then, touching the servant’s ear, he healed him.

52-53 Jesus spoke to those who had come—high priests, Temple police, religion leaders: “What is this, jumping me with swords and clubs as if I were a dangerous criminal? Day after day I’ve been with you in the Temple and you’ve not so much as lifted a hand against me. But do it your way—it’s a dark night, a dark hour.”

A Rooster Crowed

54-56 Arresting Jesus, they marched him off and took him into the house of the Chief Priest. Peter followed, but at a safe distance. In the middle of the courtyard some people had started a fire and were sitting around it, trying to keep warm. One of the serving maids sitting at the fire noticed him, then took a second look and said, “This man was with him!”

57 He denied it, “Woman, I don’t even know him.”

58 A short time later, someone else noticed him and said, “You’re one of them.”

But Peter denied it: “Man, I am not.”

59 About an hour later, someone else spoke up, really adamant: “He’s got to have been with him! He’s got ‘Galilean’ written all over him.”

60-62 Peter said, “Man, I don’t know what you’re talking about.” At that very moment, the last word hardly off his lips, a rooster crowed. Just then, the Master turned and looked at Peter. Peter remembered what the Master had said to him: “Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” He went out and cried and cried and cried.

Slapping Him Around

63-65 The men in charge of Jesus began poking fun at him, slapping him around. They put a blindfold on him and taunted, “Who hit you that time?” They were having a grand time with him.

66-67 When it was morning, the religious leaders of the people and the high priests and scholars all got together and brought him before their High Council. They said, “Are you the Messiah?”

67-69 He answered, “If I said yes, you wouldn’t believe me. If I asked what you meant by your question, you wouldn’t answer me. So here’s what I have to say: From here on the Son of Man takes his place at God’s right hand, the place of power.”

70 They all said, “So you admit your claim to be the Son of God?”

“You’re the ones who keep saying it,” he said.

71 But they had made up their minds, “Why do we need any more evidence? We’ve all heard him as good as say it himself.”

About Author

Brandon Turner

Brandon Turner (G+ | Twitter) spends a lot of time on BiggerPockets.com. Like… seriously… a lot. Oh, and he is also an active real estate investor, entrepreneur, traveler, third-person speaker, husband, and author of “The Book on Investing in Real Estate with No (and Low) Money Down“, and “The Book on Rental Property Investing” which you should probably read if you want to do more deals.

  1. Wilson Churchill

    Interesting. I just happen to be doing my first private money deal. I’m borrowing 15k to buy a rental. The terms are 10% interest only payments. I will probably refinance with a home equity loan after a year unless I can find a mortgage with low closing costs.

Introduction to Bike Fitting

Introduction to Bike Fitting

Thanks to growing awareness of fitness in Hong Kong, increased knowledge of the benefits of cycling, and excellent performances by Hong Kong riders at international cycling events, cycling is growing very quickly.  In fact, we are amazed every time we go to a race in Hong Kong at just how many people there are riding awesome equipment, and just much people are willing to spend on their bikes.  However, there are certainly some fairly sub-optimal, potentially dangerous, and simply odd positions out there.  Many cyclists ignore the fact that with an expense of only a very small fraction of what they have spent on their bike, they could go significantly faster, for less effort, in more comfort…

Dr. Andy Pruitt, Founder, Boulder Center for Sports Medicine has said: "The sport of cycling involves a highly adaptable human body and a semi-adjustable mechanical device. The common denominator of riders who enjoy and excel at cycling is an effective position on the bicycle".

“I recommend that everyone has a bike fit done by a professional fitter. I go to a lot of races and see horrible bike positions that reduce power and increase drag – the worst possible combination. A few small adjustments could do wonders for nearly all of these riders. It would take hours of weekly training for several months to build more power in order to reap the same benefit as a few basic adjustments of the bike set up would take.”

-Joe Friel, Triathlon Coach and Author

At The Bike Energy Lab, the emphasis is on the adjustment to the bike rather than forcing the body to conform to an undesirable position.  The fitting is a highly personalized multi-phased process that begins with a simple interview to learn more about your background, experience, and goals.  It is followed by a biomechanical assessment, and we perform an evaluation of your current position and equipment.

We then observe you, and use Retul, the most advanced motion capture system developed specifically for cycling, to gather real-time, three-dimensional data and gain a very accurate understanding of what happens while you are riding bike.  We look at data from several different workload levels to best observe patterns in your position and pedal stroke.  We couple this data with information gained about your cycling history and goals, as well as information gained from the physical assessment, to chose which changes to make.

The use of the latest available technology, combined with years of experience ensures the best possible fit.

Bilingual Symposium - 2009

Ritz-Carlton, San Juan, Puerto Rico, July 16-18th, 2009

Bilingual Therapies had the pleasure of hosting our 9th annual Bilingual Symposium at the Ritz-Carlton San Juan Hotel, Spa & Casino. This magnificent corner of Puerto Rico was located along a crescent beach on the island’s northern coast. We enjoyed great speakers and the wonderful company of our guests all near sandy beaches, colonial vistas, and rainforest adventures. We were especially happy that so many new faces participated this year in what became our largest event ever.

Bilingual U

Clinicians who are new to Bilingual Therapies met the two days before the Symposium for our annual Bilingual U training.  Attendees spent their time learning the ins-and-outs of their new positions within Bilingual Therapies, and even more importantly, gained information about the dynamics of bilingualism and how to be an effective practitioner with ELL populations.

Starting off the Symposium

Informative as the Symposium is, our guests are not subjected to “all work and no play.”  Bilingual Therapies continued its tradition of kicking-off the conference with a cocktail party and mixer on Thursday evening.  Attendees enjoyed seeing old friends and meeting new colleagues while enjoying views of the ocean from the Ritz-Carlton’s Vista Mar Terrace.

Friday Sessions

After a good night’s rest, we filled the main session room to listen to the keynote address given by Dr. Henriette Langdon.  Dr. Langdon spoke to the group about “Evidence-Based Practice for ELL/ESL Students.”  As one attendee observed, she laid a “great groundwork for the rest of the conference.”  Dr. Langdon also kept the audience engaged with her charming manner and knowledgeable commentary.

After a quick break following the keynote, guests attended our morning breakout sessions. These were offered by Dr. Brian Goldstein and Dr. Vera Gutiérrez-Clellen.  It was obvious why Dr. Goldstein is a perennial favorite at the Bilingual Symposium as he shared his expertise and quick wit while discussing “Dominance and Bilingual Phonological Development: An Imperfect Alliance.”  Dr. Gutiérrez-Clellen’s debut at the Bilingual Symposium was no-less engaging, and offered her audience information on, “Linking Research and Practice in Language Assessment of Second Language Learners.”

The area around the Ritz-Carlton offered a wealth of Puerto Rican cuisine, like mofongo, alcapurrias, and bacalaítos.  (Although a few people took advantage of their lunch time to grab a sandwich by the pool.)  Upon returning for the afternoon sessions, attendees enjoyed hearing from Dr. Henriette Langdon once more, and from Dr. Adele Proctor.  Dr. Langdon provided invaluable information on “Collaboration Between Bilingual SLPs and Other Professionals.”  Dr. Proctor shared her vast experience on the topic of TBI and discussed its dynamics among bilingual populations in her presentation titled, “Bilingualism and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI): Diagnosis and Management of School Re-Entry.”

Saturday Sessions

On Saturday, attendees met again with their breakout group to listen to the speakers they had not heard the previous day.  After the regular morning and afternoon sessions, all of our guests again filled the main conference room for the final session—the Round-Table.  Bilingual Therapies own Sandra Márquez and Nate Cornish moderated the forum in which each of our four presenters responded to questions posed by attendees.  The discussion was lively and the time went too quickly; however, this less-formal interaction with the speakers and other attendees was a favorite feature of the Symposium.

2010 Symposium

As the Symposium drew to a close, and everyone prepared to say goodbye for another year, Bilingual Therapies presented our guests with one last surprise: the answer to a riddle about the Bilingual Symposium 2010.  Participants were given clues about the location of next year‘s event throughout the conference, and five lucky people who guessed correctly received a prize of reduced-admission. And the final answer was… Las Vegas, Nevada!  Applause erupted as we announced that we would be meeting at Caesars Palace next summer.  We look forward to having another great educational experience, to seeing some familiar faces in Las Vegas, and to welcoming new people to another wonderful Symposium in 2010.  Until then, ¡cuídense mucho, y sigamos adelante!
