Irvingia gabonensis, Operational taxonomic units, Internal transcribed spacer region, rRNA, Fungi, Simpson's diversity.
The use of culture-dependent assays in studying microbial communities are limited to the cultivable microorganisms, and do not represent the entire community of a sample. Hence, in this study, metagenomic analysis targeting the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of ribosomal RNA genes was used to study the taxonomic diversity and structure of the fungal community associated with postharvest Irvingia spp. fruit wastes. Results obtained show that Simpson's diversity and the number of operational taxonomic units (OTUs) were dependent on the fruit storage period (days after harvest, DAH). Fresh fruits assessed on 0th, 3rd and 6th DAH had a Simpson's diversity of 0.61, 0.70 and 0.57, respectively. Whilst a total of 14,403 fungal sequences belonging to 17 OTUs, 11 Genera, 5 Classes and 2 Divisions were amplified from Irvingia fruits at 0th DAH, 4,966 fungal sequences belonging to 20 OTUs, 15 Genera, 5 Classes and 2 Divisions were amplified from postharvest Irvingia fruits on the 3rd DAH. Meanwhile fungal sequences amplified from Irvingia fruits on the 6th DAH were 377 belonging to 11 OTUs, 8 Genera, 3 Classes and 1 Division. Predominant among the OTUs were sequences belonging to Issatchenkia hanoiensis, Pichia manshurica, Candida asparagi, Gliocephalotrichum bulbilium, Pichia spp., Saccharomycopsis vini, Schwanniomyces occidentalis and Galactomyces candidum. The majority of these fungi belong to Saccharomycetales; well known as good fermenters of sugar. The comparative relative abundance of these yeasts on postharvest Irvingia fruits is a useful indication that these commodities could be a suitable substrate for ethanol production from fruit wastes.

Blog Intro: This is where it all began....
This is one of my school reports.
It wasn't even the worst to be honest, but its the only one I could find.
Now, at first glance, I was obviously a disinterested, useless student, who took more pleasure out of devising ways to 'wag' school, than I ever did in any lessons, but looking back, that's not quite fair....
You see, I was interested in one thing.
And that was music. More specifically, my guitar. More specifically, ANYTHING to do with my guitar.
In fact its probably fair to say that I was obsessed with the thing.
If those bastards had taken the time to try and find out if I was interested in anything, I'd have impressed the hell out of them.
I would have held the school prize for being interested in something.
For not sleeping at night trying to work out Tommy Bolin solo's or 'swotting' for hours over scales and modal relationships that I didn't understand, but instinctively moved towards, sucking in information from magazines, videos (no DVD's back then :-), indeed anywhere I could find out more.
I was the FUCKING King of interested!!!!!!!!!!
But that wasn't good enough for them, you had to be interested in their shit.....
Well, over 30 years on, here's the big news........
I love science, I love biology, I love physics... I spend ridiculous amounts of money educating myself on these subjects....
How did you fail so spectacularly?
How did you manage to make this stuff boring?
How did you fail to captivate the mind of a teenager that was an almighty sponge, ready to suck in anything that sounded vaguely cool or of interest...
How were you that bad?
How is it possible to make History boring?????????
Its full of war and battle, subterfuge and spies, weapons and treaties..... everything a young mind could want......
But you lot, you made it shit.
And if this sounds bitter, it is.
So begins this Blog.

The church windows are decorated with stained glass. Watch the slide show to see a description of all the stained glass windows in the church.
The Mary Window : "The daughter of the King is clothed with splendour, her robes embroidered with pearls set in gold" - Psalm 44. Mary under her title Queen Assumed into Heaven, the patroness of South Africa, is portrayed in this window. Her Son, the King of kings, stands at her knee holding the world - all glory comes from Him.
St Angela Merici : The Ursuline Sisters have been closely associated with the Parish of the Resurrection since its foundation. Their chapel was our cradle. St Angela Merici, their founder (1535), is shown in this window in her Italian setting of light and beauty - Lake Garda is portrayed in the upper section. The lower section portrays Angela, a Woman for Africa, as leads her Ursuline sisters and children of Africa into the future. I am always in your midst, lending aid to your prayers (LC 20), she wrote.
The Hymn of Creation: Bless the Lord all you creatures of Earth - Daniel 3:57, 88. In this window all creation is gathered into a great hymn of praise to its Creator. Poet GM Hopkins once wrote The world is charged with the Glory of God! Significantly, this window is positioned in the side chapel of the church where each day, Mass is celebrated - Christ's all-embracing sacrifice, in which we share as priests of creation and which the Creator has entrusted to our care.
St Paul of the Cross: The Parish of the Resurrection was founded in 1969 and ministered to throughout its early years by the priests of the Congregation of the Cross and Passion (CP). Their founder - St Paul of the Cross (1741) - is portrayed in this window. St Paul was man of ascetic dedication to the religious life and of burning love for God and people. He is shown in deep colours suggestive of Christ's passion with a heart flaming for charity.
The Window of Reconciliation: The Father ran to his son and clasped him in his arms (Luke 15:21). This window portrays the reconciliation of God and ourselves: His grace (shown as brilliant light at the centre of united figures) transforms our hearts. The reconciliation we strive for in our country and our world is also portrayed - and there is no easy road to achieving peace on earth and goodwill to all (Luke 2:14). The modern window shows reconciling figures against a desert-like background that symbolises the death and desolation that threaten us. As the great 20th century poet WH Auden wrote We must love one another or die.
The Window of the Living Water: The Baptistry window is symbolic of the Sacrament of Baptism in its deepest meaning: You are baptised into Christ Jesus says St Paul. The Paschal candle (representing Christ) surrounds the figures repreenting the Church baptising a believer. Above, the Holy Spirit descends onto the baptised through the flame of the candle. The shaft of light recalls the voice of the Father at Christ's baptism "This is my beloved" (Matthew 3:17). Below, the cleansing water of Baptism flows. "Whoever drinks the water that I shall give will never be thirsty again" (John 4:14)
The Window of the Saviour: Jesus said, "It is accomplished," and bowing His head He gave up His spirit (John 19:30). This window with its powerful colours of sorrow and mourning yet glory and new life shows the Saviour at the moment of His supreme sacrifice of Himself for love of all humanity.
The Trinity Window: We are a people made one with the unity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit wrote Vatican 2 to the Church of our time (VC 41). The great mystery of our faith, the unity and trinity of God, is represented here by the creative hand of the Father, the descending dove that is the Holy Spirit and the great redeemer, the Son.

To describe Paris by Night we have two words " ABSOLUTELY AMAZING" would definitely recommend the band. Went above and beyond the requirements we needed for our multi cultural wedding, to even learn a special song for my new husband, which was beautiful of the band and made our night even more special. The music was great & the guests loved every minute of them playing. Thank you so very much Paris by Night, you made our wedding beautiful. Thank you very much Joe, it was a pleasure meeting you all & what an absolute delight it was to have you at our wedding.
Steve and I loved Paris by Night. As I am in the Arts Industry and had many other performers attending the wedding, we needed a band to wow our guests. Wow our guests was an understatement! We had the whole entire floor full with our guests dancing all night long with plenty of song choices. Your team were always amazing to communicate with and we will recommend Paris by Night to all our friends and Family.
Paris by Night were absolutely fantastic to work with and created an amazing atmosphere at our wedding reception. We hired the 8 piece band, and could not have been happier with the response from our guests. Our dance floor was packed for the entire evening and so many people commented on how fantastic the band were. Joe was so quick to respond, and communication was smooth throughout the entire period. We have had many people ask us for their details after, and would highly recommend them to anyone!
We are back from our honeymoon and wanted to touch base and thank you all for helping putting on a fabulous day for our wedding. We had an absolute ball and for those who were present can tell you that both of us could not swipe the smile off our faces all day.... and still !! We genuinely thank you for all your efforts, inspiration and passion to make our first day as Mr & Mrs Amato the best it possibly could have been. No doubt we will be in touch with you all again in the very near future.
Firstly, Thank you so much to Joe and his team for making our day, one to remember! Right from the start Joe accommodated us! He knew of my busy schedule and bent over backwards so I could see the band perform before I made a decision! When all the other bands didn't care of my schedule because of my job and told me bad luck if you couldn't make it. The feedback from my guests were outstanding. Right from the start, at the church to the reception band and the MC! The professionalism and passion of Paris by Night was incredible! They had all the guests up and dancing all night long! Thank you for being so amazing and for being apart of our day!
We used Paris By Night for both both our ceremony and reception. They are amazing musicians, are very flexible and very professional. Not only was their performance amazing, but the MC was very sweet and when we had a slight problem with the venue (the venue had changed the run sheet without letting us know!) he came up to us and helped us resolve the issue with them. But to me, what is most important, is reliability and sense of peace. Joe was very prompt in his replies. We pretty much get a response the same day, if not the very next morning. He's very thorough and answers any questions we ever have. We highly recommend Paris By Night for great music and for peace of mind.
My wife and I couldn't be happier with our decision to have chosen Paris By Night as the entertainment for our wedding. Joe was a real professional who always replied to emails promptly and was accommodating with any requests/changes we asked for. The guests were on the dance floor all night and we were pleasantly surprised by the number of compliments we were given about the band. I have no hesitation recommending them to anyone that asks for a suggestion in future! Thank you and well done!
Paris by Night was fantastic! Creating such a splendid atmosphere for our wedding day with beautifully mastered vocals and sound, our guests danced the night away. We couldn't have asked for a more professional band that truly were exceptional with their performances.
Bryce and I would just like to say a massive thank you and sign of appreciation for all your efforts yesterday. It truly was a day we will never forget all thanks to you. Thank you again for making it so special & we hope to see you again soon.
Rob and I would like to say thank you to you and the other band members for the amazing job you did at our wedding. The music and singing was fantastic!! Thank you for making our wedding a magical night!
We had Paris by Night perform at our wedding on Sunday 29th October 2017. Joe was great to deal with, answering all our questions, and making the process very simple and straight forward. The music on the night was fantastic. Great band, great sound, very professional. Everybody was up and dancing. We also had the MC option, which kept it all simple, minimal formality, which is what we wanted. Thanks again Joe, and crew. Happily recommend you guys to friends and family.
The band was amazing. They really set the tone that we wanted for the wedding and really got the party started. The staff were so friendly and I have booked them again for our work Christmas party and cannot wait!
Big thanks to Joe and the band for making our special day even more memorable by their outstanding performance. Provided us with quality entertainment throughout the night. Guests absolutely loved it. MC duties were on point too. Thank you guys!

The CIS is the leading authority for information about ice in Canada's navigable waters.  Ice affects marine transportation in Canada's heartland as well as in the North, commercial fishing, offshore resource development, the hunting and fishing patterns of aboriginal peoples, tourism and recreation, and local weather patterns and long-term climate.

Mandate
The agency's mission is to provide the most timely and accurate information possible about ice in Canada's navigable waters. In support of this, its two main objectives are to ensure the safety of Canadians, their property and their environment by warning them of hazardous ice conditions in navigable Canadian waters, and to provide present and future generations of Canadians with sufficient knowledge about their ice environment in order to support sound environmental policies.

Organization
The CIS has approximately 60 employees at its headquarters in Ottawa, Ontario.

Context is still king here. FH5 was one of the highest rated games of 2021, a year that was one of the worst for gaming in recent memory. Ditto with Halo. It wasn't just the Xbox that was starved of decent exclusives last year.
FH5 is a better game than 4 because you can actually buy the cosmetics instead of them all being locked behind a grind wall and the progression in the single player is well thought out. The story missions were a good laugh. Mexico might look nice though but the seasons really don't add anything to gameplay, the sunrises are so badly drawn that in the wilderness you can barely tell when night and day start and end. And the setting this time is that you are the champion from number 4 come over to run a few promos rather than the unknown driver who takes the crown. The soundtrack is terrible.
In 4 the seasons do make for drastic gameplay changes but the campaign is terribly structured and everything requires a huge grind. Replaying the same events over and over is not fun.
3 had the best map of the series. A great selection of biomes and some gorgeous coastal scenery. The single player was ok but it had the best offroad sections.
2 is better than most people remember. The motorway sections are fantastic and the road trip mechanic for the single player shook things up enough to make it unique. It also forced the player to use different car classes and types and actually get better at the game. The rain mechanics for the weather are gorgeous and not only change the handling model but can never be entirely predicted. The reflective surfaces after a storm are still great to look at. It has a brilliant soundtrack and the most urban locations of any game in the series.
For me the original is still the best. No other game in the series has sold the idea of being at a motoring festival quite like this one, from the cheesy cut scenes to the rival drivers. Each event actually has a kind of outpost rather than just a video-gamey sign floating in the air. The soundtrack is incredible and the whole thing comes together to be greater than the sum of its parts. The early-fall Colorado map still looks stunning 10 years later and because it has no offroad shortcuts tyou actually learn the roads. I could draw the whole map from memory. And unlike FH5 and its ridiculously powerful Series X hardware, FH1 has the best sunrises and sunsets this side of Horizon Zero Dawn all on the lowly 360.

I think a lot of these numbers need to be looked at in context. GT3 sold 15m copies because it was the first PS2 game that was a) worth buying the console just to play and b) looked lightyears ahead of anything on the market at time of release. It was a really good game though!
Xbox gamers on the other hand (me included) have been so starved of exclusives for so long that they will latch on to anything that comes along. The Forza Horizon series has had diminishing returns as the releases have gone along. FH4 is arguably the worst in the series (endless grind, inability to buy cosmetics, too many F2P mechanics) and 5 is a definite improvement but nowhere near the high points of 1-3.
Halo Infinite is a good game but only I think in context to the rest of the market. Your other choices? The chaos of Fortnite, the takes-itself-too-seriously COD or a few other minor hits. HI brings back that classic gameplay that is refreshing in a modern sense and yet stale in a Halo sense. It is beloved becaise it is just like the original game in the same way Mario is but even Nintendo know how to evolve a series to new heights.

Maybe we need to limit the amount of devices that have silicon in them? Games console and PC's? Build build build! Most 'smart' tech? A minor convenience we can live without. Crypto mining? Maybe ban the Ponzi scheme altogether.

They were both way ahead of their time in so many ways. With Windows Phone it was the introduction of flat design that has filtered through, well everything else. WP7 also had speed. It was so goddam fast compared to ios and android. I used to like all the folding in animations as well.
WebOS was so prescient it borders on the psychic. Card-based multitasking, magnetic wireless charging, instant search, rounded OS corners etc etc all became fashionable years after Palm's last stand. There are other things too like the swipe-up 'ribbon' dock and the bottom-up notifications I wish would also move across.

Sounded ok, and this is coming from a Brit.
What didn't sound ok were the awful accents by the american cast in Black Widow. Florence Pugh sounds awful as Yelena. We hear all the time about 'whitewashing' films but nothing about the fact that Marvel couldn't find some quality eastern european actors for the roles therein. Why cast someone like Ray Winstone as a Russian villain when someone like Peter Stormare would have done a much better job?

I didn't mind Eternals. It was certainly less excruciating than sitting through Florence Pugh's terrible accent in Black Widow.
It's just the movie was so…. pointless. They hide throughout time, fight some monsters, fight each other and then disappear off into Space. The End. It was like the MCU version of 'Kill the Moon'.
They could have easily used this as an excuse to foreshadow things to come. They could have reframed the MCU Galactus as some sort of rogue Celestial who went around consuming life instead of creating it.
An even better solution would have been to actually set the film in the past in a similar way to Odin's prehistoric Avengers from 1000000BC in Final Host. This might have made more sense.

And yet it looked better than the horribly ropey time suits in Endgame.
Because we knew so much about him beforehand? Why are fans angry about a character who in the original trilogy isn't really anything other than an interplanetary DHL? In ROJ he may as well be a comic relief character given the way he dies. The Ewoks defeat more people!
It seems painfully obvious that Boba is in town to tidy up Tatooine to an extent. He wants to rule by respect, not fear. He doesn't want to use the old ways. He's seen how the general populace treat outcasts like the Sand People (and by extension himself) and now sees a power vacuum and the chance to actually do something about it. He was an outcast his entire life, even shunned by the Mandalorians.
The seeds of this were sown in Bad Batch. The young Boba is pretty close to Omega in terms of purity and morals. The Clones were pretty honourable until the Emperor corrupted them all.
If he went around just killing the people he disagreed with and being more 'badass' (a terrible word really) we would be moaning it was just a clone of The Mandalorian! Once again it doesn't really matter what is done with the franchise, a certain section of Star Wars fans are just never happy.

Only a company like Apple would overengineer a feature as relatively straightforward as biometric authentication.
The iPad Air and Mini have already solved their problem with the TouchID power button. I use an Xperia as my main phone and the fingerprint scanner in the power button is quick, convenient and saves building things into a display you don't really need. I don't think it has ever taken a wrong reading.
If they were really clever they'd put it on the rear of the device but hide it in the Apple logo.

You want full on audio predictions?
- Companies will continue to attempt to monetise a medium people continue to expect to be free. This will fail spectacularly. Apple will still forget to do anything meaningful with a medium they helped to invent.
- The music industry will continue to recycle ideas continuing it's downward spiral. Despite the ongoing fight for equality female pop stars will continue to dress like strippers in pointless videos which at some point will merge with softcore porn. This will be led by men at the top.
- The actual music industry (gigs, musicians self promoting online) will continue without all the crap to pump out decent music.
- Vinyl sales will continue to rise as newer listeners flock to older music.
- Frank Turner will release his new album in February and it will be brilliant.

Two LiDAR makers each get big funding
by Frank Tobe

In anticipation of the need for LiDAR devices in cars with assisted steering and other self-driving technologies, both Velodyne and Quanergy received funding. Quanergy raised $90 million and Velodyne got $150 million.
Source: Frost & Sullivan;VDS Automotive SYS Konferenz 2014/
As can be seen in the chart provided by Frost & Sullivan, LiDARs will play a big role in all phases of the emergence of self-driving vehicles. Hence the immediacy of these two investments in LiDAR technology.
Velodyne LiDAR, a Morgan Hill, Calif.-based provider of technology that allows self-driving cars see and avoid what's around them, has raised $150 million in equity funding from Ford Motor Co. and Baidu. Velodyne expects an exponential increase in LiDAR sensor deployments in autonomous vehicles and ADAS applications over the next several years, driving high revenue growth. The funds will be used to help Velodyne lower the cost of their LiDAR to between $300 and $500, the price point at which mass adoption becomes practical.
"LiDAR continues to prove itself as the critical sensor for safe autonomous vehicle operation," said David Hall, founder and CEO, Velodyne LiDAR. "This investment will accelerate the cost reduction and scaling of Velodyne's industry-leading LiDAR sensors, making them widely accessible and enabling mass deployment of fully autonomous vehicles. We are determined to help improve the goal of safety for automotive vehicles as soon as possible, as well as empower the efficiency autonomous systems offer."
"We want the cost to be low enough to be used for all cars. We envision a safer world for the millions of automotive drivers across the globe," said Marta Hall, Velodyne President of Business Development.
Quanergy Systems Inc., a Sunnyvale, Calif.-based provider of solid state LiDAR sensors and smart sensing solutions, has raised $90 million. Backers include Sensata Technologies, Delphi Automotive, Samsung Ventures, Motus Ventures and GP Capital. Quanergy's solid state LiDAR is included in the frontal piece of the Mercedes test car shown on the right. The solid-state nature of the LiDAR is a significant cost savings and the expected trade price (once full production begins) will be less than $250.
LiDARs aren't the only components getting funded
In a NY Times story, Delphi and Mobileye said that they had formed a partnership to provide a core self-driving platform to automakers by the end of 2019.
The Mobileye-Delphi collaboration "will accelerate the time to market" and enable carmakers to produce vehicles capable of driving themselves "without the need for huge capital investments," said Amnon Shashua, chairman and chief technology officer of Mobileye.
Delphi, the former parts division of General Motors, and Mobileye, an Israeli company known for producing the sensors and other technology that help cars recognize obstacles in the road, are both major component providers to the auto industry.

I love all things lemon! So, I was inspired by one of my own recipes "Keto Vanilla Custard Blueberry Muffins" and decided to create a lemon curd version with raspberries. They turned out pretty tasty!
My Keto Vanilla Custard Blueberry Muffins are kind of composed of six layers (batter → custard → blueberries → batter → custard → blueberries). In this recipe, however, I fold some of the lemon curd into the batter, bake, and then place the rest on top halfway through baking so that you can definitely have delicious creamy lemon curd on top of your baked muffins.
Also, since it's very difficult to get fresh raspberries (or any fresh berries except for strawberries) here in Japan, I use frozen raspberries. That is why I don't fold raspberries into the batter, to avoid discolouring the batter while mixing. So, if using fresh raspberries, you can fold half of the raspberries into the batter if you want.
Anyway, enjoy these amazingly luscious lemon curd raspberry muffins!
This has nothing to do with the recipe, but today (March 30) is my mother's birthday. Also, three years ago today, my late father who started to show the signs of Alzheimer's around that time got lost and then found seven hours after he left for a quick bike ride, which he always did after dinner around 6pm. Here's the story: When I got home from work, my mom was so upset because it had been 1.5 hours since he left for his regular quick bike ride but was not home yet. So, I went out to search on my bike to the place where he usually went, but no luck. My siblings also searched. My mom went to the nearest police station to submit a missing person's report. Hours passed. We had nothing to do but go to sleep. I had to work the following day. But we could not fall into a sleep of course. Then around 2am, the phone rang. It was from a police station located 12 kilometers / 7.4 miles away from our house. They said that my father went into a small police station around there, saying that he had no idea where he was or how he he could go home. His bike had his name and home phone number, which matched my mother's report to the police, so they called us to inform that he was found. We took a taxi to pick him up (my mom and I don't drive), but when we got there and saw him, he was like "Yo!" and had no idea why he was there… He didn't remember at all that he rode his bike for like seven hours! He didn't look tired at all, either. He was 71 years old back then. One thing I'm always proud about him in this story though, is that my father, who had Alzheimer's, still went into a police station by himself! Anyway, I still miss you greatly, dad… And Happy Birthday, Mom!
Whisk the eggs, egg yolks and lemon juice in a saucepan.
Add the stevia and xanthan gum and whisk well to combine.
Add the butter and cook the mixture over low - medium heat, stirring / whisking vigorously until thick. Remove from the heat.
Strain the lemon curd through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl.
Place a piece of cling wrap over the curd. Stick the wrap to the curd by pressing lightly.
Chill for one hour or until cold.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, stevia and baking powder.
In a large bowl, add the eggs, egg whites and heavy cream. Whisk well. Add the dry ingredients and whisk well to combine.
Spoon half of the batter evenly into each muffin cup. Sprinkle half of the raspberries evenly on top of each. Then spoon the remaining batter over the raspberries.
(Work fast.) Remove the muffin tin from the oven. Spoon the remaining lemon curd on top of the muffins. Then sprinkle the remaining raspberries.
Bake for another 10 – 12 minutes.
Remove the muffins very carefully from the tin because the lemon curd on top is very creamy.
Keep refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before serving.
Thank you so much for your Recipe. I'm going to try This, can i substitute stevia with erythritol?
Hi May, Thank you for stopping by.
You can use erythritol (about 1/2 cup for the batter) but it might end up in a different texture than mine though. If the batter is too thick, please add a little more heavy cream.

Historic lighthouses come with costs
Quinn Kelley 0 Comment Daily Life, Nation lighthouses, Michigan, Ohio, U.S. Coast Guard
PORT AUSTIN REEF LIGHT, Mich. (AP) — When Lou Schillinger and his volunteer cadre began restoring an 1890s lighthouse more than two miles off the Michigan shore in Lake Huron's Saginaw Bay, they first needed to remove 30 years' accumulation of gull and pigeon feces whose depth measured in feet rather than inches.

That was in the mid-1980s when he reached an agreement with the U.S. Coast Guard to prevent the Port Austin Reef Lighthouse — his "Castle in the Lake" — from being dismantled and lost forever.
"That first summer my dad and I ran out there with a 14-foot rowboat and a 20-foot ladder because there was no access ladder and we just began shoveling manure," said Schillinger, 66, president of the Port Austin Reef Light Association, a nonprofit group that in 2013 took title of the property from the federal government. No keeper had lived in the brick building with its five-floor tower since 1952. The roof was gone.
"We shoveled diligently," Schillinger said. "I'd get friends out there, they would come out and volunteer and they'd show up for one day and they would never come back again because it was such a miserable job."
About 120 lighthouses no longer critical to the U.S. Coast Guard in 22 states and Puerto Rico have been acquired at no cost by government entities and nonprofits, or sold to private individuals eager to preserve the landmarks and maybe tap into their tourism potential since they became available under the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act of 2000. Upkeep was too expensive and their usefulness was in decline with the advent of GPS.
Winning bids have ranged from $10,000 for the Cleveland East Pierhead Light in Ohio to $934,000 for the Graves Light in Boston Harbor. More are auctioned every year, but buyers beware: Years of neglect, vandalism, limited access and hammering by the elements often make for labor-intensive money pits that are for neither the weak of heart nor stomach.
"People who are into this I believe have to have an internal fire, an internal passion, a conviction that these buildings and the history they represent are worth saving," said Terry Pepper, 68, executive director of the Great Lakes Lighthouse Keepers Association.
Port Austin Light was built on a shallow reef. It's accessible only by boat when winds are light, otherwise waves are too choppy to dock and disembark. Pepper's association overcame similar access issues when it renovated a lighthouse on the 160-acre St. Helena Island, seven miles west of the Mackinac Bridge. It took about 20 years and $1.5 million to finish the job in 2005.
Nobody had lived in the 1870s lighthouse since 1922, making it a destination for partiers, scrappers and vandals, said Pepper. His association acquired the lighthouse before the 2000 act and also is restoring the Cheboygan River Front Range Light in Michigan.
"The roof had huge holes in it," Pepper said. "Somebody had lit a fire on the floor in one of the bedrooms on the second floor and embers from that fire dripped down to the first floor and started burning that floor also. Every single window in the lighthouse was gone. All the doors on the inside of the brick lighthouse were gone. Railings on the stairs were gone and the plaster inside the lighthouse had been kicked down."
Pepper estimates the group has spent $1.5 million and "untold thousands of hours of volunteer labor" restoring the St. Helena property, which must meet state and federal standards for historic preservation.
"We who are in this business, with this passion, have to be asking for money all the time," Pepper said, whether it's through grants, donations, selling memorabilia or offering Great Lakes lighthouse cruises.
Pepper is often contacted by prospective buyers because of his knowledge of lighthouses, particularly those in Michigan, where there are 129 — the most in the U.S.
"I will tell people if you end up spending $100,000 to get that lighthouse, that's a lot of money," Pepper said. "But $100,000 is the tip of the iceberg."
Onshore lighthouses are no bargain either.
A volunteer group spent about a decade and nearly $1.9 million to acquire and renovate North Point Lighthouse in Milwaukee. It opened to the public in 2007 and since has attracted more than 80,000 tourists. It has cost more than $1.1 million to run it, mostly paid through entrance fees and events, donations, fundraising and grants.
About 30 miles to the north, Port Washington is in the process of acquiring an 81-year-old light on its breakwater with plans to raise and spend $1.5 million for restoration. And that structure does not have living quarters.
Back on the Port Austin Reef Light, time is measured in decades, not years, of work. Schillinger and his crews put on a new roof. They installed new windows and oak doors, and replaced the chimney. Vandals have been constant. Last fall, they started putting in a dock for easier access by boats, but a nasty late November gale wiped out their work and they had to start over this year.
"We've invested close to half-a-million dollars in that property in time and material over the last 30 years and almost I would say 95 percent of it's all been out-of-pocket or donated time," said Schillinger. He estimated it will take three years and at least $1.6 million more in grants and donations to prepare it for tours and renters who want to experience the keeper's life.
"It's been really been kind of a labor of love for all community members here in Port Austin." –By Roger Schneider, Associated Press

WILLIAM CLUETT was born in the county of Salop [Shropshire], England, Dec. 6, 1806. He was eldest and the only son in a family of four children of William and Mary (HARRIS) CLUETT, both of whom were also of English birth.
Mr. Cluett received a good education while young. For several years he taught at a private school, and for 20 years he was a bookseller in England. In the year 1828 he married Ann, daughter of Thomas and Mary BYWATER, of Salop County. She was born in the year 1805.
This sketch is being written on July 17, 1879, it being the 29th anniversary of his residing at Troy with his family, consisting of his wife and six children, viz., John William Alfred, George B., Mrs. Rev. J. N. Mulford, Edmund, Fred H., and Robert. His eldest daughter, Mrs. Cadby, remained in England; but upon her decease her remains were brought to this country and interred in Oakwood Cemetery, Troy, N. Y. Upon reaching Troy the ill health of his wife prevented his carrying out his intentions - to settle in one of the western states - and after a short time he opened a grocery store, which, however, he continued only one year. For three years he was a bookkeeper for Mr. L. Van Valdenburgh, a shirt- and collar-manufacturer. In 1854, Mr. Cluett again entered into business for himself, and opened a book- and piano-store, which he carried on until 1858, when he associated with him in business his son, J. W. A. Cluett, with the firm-name of William Cluett & Son. Their business rapidly increased; the firm became widely and favorably known, and was continued until about the year 1862, when another son, Edmund Cluett, was taken into the partnership, and the firm-name was changed to Cluett & Sons.
In the year 1870 the book department of the trade was dropped, and the piano and organ business, which was still becoming more extensive, was continued. The firm-name is still retained, although only the junior member of the firm remains with his father in the business.
Mr. Cluett has never been active in politics or public matters, yet, interested in local and state legislation, he regards the right of suffrage the great bon of the American people. He has been unswervingly identified with the Republican party since its formation [in 1854], and prior to that time, after coming to this country [in 1850], was a member of the Whig party. He has avoided all public notoriety, being contented with the quiet routine of a business life. His industry and judicious management have given him rank among the substantial businessmen of Troy, and his integrity and correct habits have secured the confidence of all who know him. He is a member of the Episcopal Church and a liberal contributor to all enterprises having for their object the good of society.
Mrs. Cluett died in January 1876.

I can hardly believe that it has been July 15th since my last post!
There are a multitude of reasons for that; the first and foremost one is that my youngest son was diagnosed with cancer the last week of April. My summer was dedicated to his treatment, of course, with very little time dedicated to the Technique Junkies businesses. I am thrilled to tell you that he is now in college (Northeastern University in Boston), and is in remission. Many of you who follow my Facebook page know this news, of course, but I thought a quick acknowledgement would be in order for anyone who doesn't know. I have spent the last 30 days catching my breath and catching up. I will be more diligent in posting from this point forward, I promise!

Mr. "Present", Barack Obama
Julie Klose Send an email November 26, 2013
The former CEO of General Electric, Jack Welch, was the first to report that the Obama administration was manipulating the unemployment rates before the 2012 election. Welch used his twitter account to challenge the administration on the surprising numbers. The left vilified him for weeks over it and the White House called his remarks "ludicrous". Now the NY Post has named a source from the Census Bureau who was asked to manipulate the unemployment numbers before the election. The Bureau fabricated results and manipulated the numbers to achieve the desired data.
I already know the response that will be given by this President on this latest scandal to hit this administration. We have been here many times before. Teflon President, the Limbaugh Theorem and many other terms have defined Obama as the leader who somehow manages to detach himself to the scandals that plague his administration.
I think we need to change Obama's title to "Mr. Present" instead of Mr. President. His mode of operation is to cast a vote of "present" with no final outcome and somehow sidestepping each crisis. It was his mode as Senator when he voted 130 times as "present" without clearly defining his decision on a final vote. Now five years later into his second term as President, he is still raising his hand. We know he is there. He acknowledges each crisis, makes empty promises and yet somehow manages to stand on the sidelines along with the rest of us. Now we are forced to ask ourselves who is the leader of the United States?
Let's revisit some of these scandals and "Mr. Present's" response to them:
Fast and Furious:
(September 20, 2012- President's remarks at Univision Town Hall Meeting)
"Well, first of all, I think it's important for us to understand that the Fast and Furious program was a field-initiated program under the previous administration. When Eric Holder found out about it, he discontinued it."
"And so the challenge that we have is that at any given moment in the federal government, there may be people who do dumb things. And I've seen it, I promise. (Laughter.) And ultimately, I'm responsible, and my key managers, including the Attorney General, are responsible, for holding those people accountable, for making sure that they are fired if they do dumb things, and then fixing the system to ensure that it doesn't happen again. And I'm very confident that you will not see any kind of actions like this in the future."
Benghazi:
(September 12, 2012- Remarks by the President on the Deaths of the U.S. Embassy Staff in Libya)
"No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character, or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for. Today we mourn four more Americans who represent the very best of the United States of America. We will not waver in our commitment to see that justice is done for this terrible act. And make no mistake, justice will be done."
(October 18, 2012- Obama with Jon Stewart on "The Daily Show")
"Here's what I'll say. If four Americans get killed, it's not optimal. We're going to fix it. All of it. And what happens, during the course of a presidency, is that the government is a big operation and any given time something screws up and you make sure to find out what's broken and you fix it."
The IRS Scandal:
(May 13, 2013 –Joint Press Conference)
"Well, let me take the IRS situation first. I first learned about it from the same news reports that I think most people learned about this. I think it was on Friday."
"The IG is conducting its investigation. And I am not going to comment on their specific findings prematurely, but I can tell you that if you've got the IRS operating in anything less than a neutral and non-partisan way, then that is outrageous, it is contrary to our traditions. And people have to be held accountable, and it's got to be fixed. So we'll wait and see what exactly all the details and the facts are. But I've got no patience with it. I will not tolerate it. And we will make sure that we find out exactly what happened on this."
Affordable Care Act:
(June 11, 2009- Town Hall Meeting at Green Bay, Wisconsin)
"I know that there are millions of Americans who are happy, who are content with their health care coverage — they like their plan, they value their relationship with their doctor. And no matter how we reform health care, I intend to keep this promise: If you like your doctor, you'll be able to keep your doctor; if you like your health care plan, you'll be able to keep your health care plan."
(October 30, 2013- Remarks by the President on ACA at Boston, Massachusetts)
"Now, if you had one of these substandard plans before the Affordable Care Act became law and you really liked that plan, you're able to keep it. That's what I said when I was running for office. That was part of the promise we made. But ever since the law was passed, if insurers decided to downgrade or cancel these substandard plans, what we said under the law is you've got to replace them with quality, comprehensive coverage — because that, too, was a central premise of the Affordable Care Act from the very beginning."
Four Scandals with four responses but no real results. A President who refuses to lead but is simply present. He takes no responsibility. There is no blame whatsoever on his administration, just empty promises and unanswered questions.
Will Obama address these new allegations regarding the fabrication of the unemployment rates, or will he merely push them off to the side? He refuses to stand as a leader but is always retreating to the back, never willing to step up. True leadership is about stepping forward and taking responsibility.
What should a true leader do in times of crisis and scandal? Seems we need a leader like Harry Truman who plainly stated, "The buck stops here".

At the end of the 1980s, at the peak of glam rock and hair metal, a new genre began to emerge from the underground. Since it served as an option to the bloated sound of those genres that was all over the airwaves and MTV, it was aptly titled alternative rock. Over the years, alternative rock has become part of mainstream rock. But at its beginning, alt rock and all of the alternative artists were on the cutting edge of what was going on in response to those more commercial genres. The origins of the best alternative bands are in cities like Seattle, Los Angeles, New York, Chicago and various college towns around the country.
So, who can be considered one of the top alternative bands, or even a good current alternative band? Any list isn't complete without Husker Du and R.E.M., who represent the best college rock musicians. These alternative music bands had a huge impact on the alternative scene and influenced many, if not all alternative rock bands. Jane's Addiction can also be lumped into that category. Other popular alternative artists include Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Oasis, Blur and Smashing Pumpkins. These groups' legacy and impact on alternative music is indisputable and they continue to crank out the hits.
Ultimately, it's up to you to decide who the best alternative bands are. This list answers the questions "who are the best alternative bands of all time?" and "who is the greatest alternative musician ever?" Vote for your favorite alternative musicians below, and please vote based on the quality of their music rather than just their popularity.

The Government should challenge Irish America's lies about the Good Friday Agreement
By Owen Polley @3000Versts
Photo: Drew Angerer/Getty Images
The idea the Internal Market Bill threatens the GFA is contemptible nonsense
Irish nationalists act is if the 1998 agreement somehow erased the border - it did no such thing
Irish American politicians are clueless about the GFA - the Government should tell them as much
There are many criticism you could level at Boris Johnson's Internal Markets Bill, but the idea that it threatens the Good Friday Agreement is baseless nonsense.
On Wednesday, Joe Biden piled in on the subject, saying that if he becomes President he will not allow the Good Friday accord to become a "casualty of Brexit". "Any trade deal between the US and the UK must be contingent upon respect for the Agreement and preventing the return of a hard border in Ireland," he tweeted.
He attached an image of a bi-partisan letter signed by four Congressman, which threatens to scupper a US-UK trade deals if Britain dares to "undermine the Northern Ireland protocol of the withdrawal agreement". It claims the Government's policies, "could have disastrous consequences for the Good Friday Agreement".
This fevered reaction rests on the completely erroneous assumption, promoted energetically by Irish nationalists, that the agreement effectively removed the land border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. The former Irish prime minister, Leo Varadkar, and his government, insisted throughout the Brexit negotiations that they would not accept a border in Ireland, as if the two parts of the island had already been constitutionally merged.
The agreement certainly resulted in the removal of security installations along the frontier, because the threat of IRA terrorism had largely receded, but it had no impact on customs or trade rules between the two jurisdictions.
For that reason, rather than quote the text, nationalists, Remainers and the Irish government habitually interpret the 'context' and the 'spirit' of the Good Friday deal in their favour, in an attempt to prove that it is incompatible with Northern Ireland being included fully in Brexit. They imply hidden content that supports their view; such as when the SDLP MP, Claire Hanna, claimed that the agreement contained a, "fourth unwritten… strand. The European dimension."
In fact, the document's central tenet, the 'principle of consent', determines that:
"the present wish of a majority of people in Northern Ireland, freely exercised and legitimate, is to maintain the Union and, accordingly, Northern Ireland's status as part of the United Kingdom reflects and relies upon that wish; and it would be wrong to make any change in the status of Northern Ireland save with the consent of a majority of its people".
You will not hear this part of the agreement (or indeed any part of the text) quoted by those who say that the protocol is needed to protect the Belfast Agreement. That's because their argument is driven by an ideological assumption that Northern Ireland's links with Great Britain must be gradually eroded and it should move steadily toward political absorption by the Republic.
The current hysteria is particularly absurd, because, while there has never been any credible evidence that a hard border in Ireland infringes the agreement, or that an Irish Sea frontier is needed to enact Brexit and protect the 'peace process', the Internal Market Bill does not even challenge these concepts directly. Its controversial clauses empower the government to soften some of the more extreme measures to which they signed up in the Northern Ireland protocol, but the province will remain in the single market for agriculture and the EU's customs code will apply.
You could argue that, under international law, Ulster companies should be required to complete exit declarations when they sell products to Great Britain, or pay up-front tariffs on the widest possible range of goods bought elsewhere in the UK, but claiming these measures protect the Belfast Agreement is risible. Even if the government fails to negotiate a free trade deal with the EU, it clearly intends to implement checks at ports and airports in Northern Ireland.
Preparations to impose an Irish Sea border are already well underway.
The government agreed to this horrific plan to divide up the UK's economy and, for that reason, anxieties about the IMB's impact on international law are legitimate. In contrast, the idea that the protocol protects peace in Ireland is driven by people who see an Irish Sea border as an opportunity to realign Northern Ireland politically, away from Britain and toward the Republic of Ireland.
That's why the reaction in the US is so blatantly an extension of Irish American lobbying. Peter King, the Republican signatory to the letter from Congress, is a veteran supporter of Noraid, an organisation that raised money to enable republican terrorism. He described the IRA as "the legitimate voice of occupied Ireland" and regards the British government as "a murder machine." His Democrat colleague, Eliot Engel, is a long-term associate of Gerry Adams.
Nancy Pelosi, the speaker of the House of Representatives, has consistently threatened to block a UK-US trade deal if Irish nationalists do not get their way on Brexit. When she came to Ireland last year to offer her support, she astonished observers by hugging Adams warmly and caressing his beard.
Joe Biden, odds on with the bookies to become the next president, is the archetype of an embarrassing, sentimental Irish American uncle. When he's not bloviating about Yeats and Seamus Heaney, he's making cracks about not allowing anyone wearing orange into the White House on St Patrick's day. As a former aide told the New York Times, "the Irish cause is in his veins".
These are people without a shred of scepticism about the Irish nationalist campaign. Indeed they subscribe to its analysis wholesale. Their type of thinking leaves no room for examining the detail of the Belfast Agreement. They simply see that accord as a step on the way to an inevitable all-Ireland state.
The US has been allowed for too long to interfere in Northern Ireland's affairs and the UK has already capitulated to Irish nationalism by agreeing to divide up its territory with a border down the Irish Sea. This time, the Government should have no compunction about putting Irish America firmly back in its box.

According to the BBC's Tom Housden, reporting on the Cambay find:The vast city — which is five miles long and two miles wide — is believed to predate the oldest known remains in the subcontinent by more than 5,000 years.
I think the Vedas talk about an ancient advanced civilization many thousand years ago so maybe the other stuff mentioned - flying machines (vimanas) and very destructive weapons that sound in the description like nuclear type weapons could also be true, how many times before could we have had advanced civilizations that have destroyed themselves or been destroyed by natural forces.
I'll shut up now getting carried away.

The pyramids and other temples, with their hieroglyphics depicting a flourishing civilization, have a mysterious, almost magical appeal. It seems inconceivable that people of an advanced society could have walked those ancient streets.
A green from me too Tess, this is amazing. The more evidence that is undcovered the harder it will be for the so-called experts to deny that we are not the first civilizations to inhabit this planet.

Curt on Russia and the West (wow)
NATIONALISM, TRADITIONALISM are one thing. RULE OF LAW is another, and TRUTH TELLING is yet another. Putin wants to expand Nationalism and Traditionalism using propaganda because they produce power, but he does not want Rule of law, or Truth Telling, because they constraint, limit, and in most cases, eliminate power.
Power is necessary in Russia, because like China – who must keep oppressing it's conquered territories – Russia is a military empire. That's because Russians have no 'Cutlure'. There is nothing at all ethnically or culturally "Rus" in Russia. Russia is not of the clan Rus (Scandinavian) but of Muscovites, who spend long periods under despotic Mongolian rule, looked to the south to the byzantines and arabs for inspiration, and whose invading peoples brought with them Asiatic concepts of the evil in man – not greek concepts of man's perfection and potential to sit among the gods. Russia (Muscovia) is a Mongolian and Tatar State steeped in Steppe culture that blends orthodox christianity and islamic Familialism, with Chinese deception.
With some work Peter the Great tried to move the Russian empire into Europa, and without Germany's aggression at England's seduction, might have completed the transition. But the largely Jewish postwar uprising that we call the Russian revolution, returned Russia to despotism, with Asiatic Lenin and Stalin joining Asian Mao as the greatest murderers in human history.
Thanks to the church, the Russian concept of interpersonal ethical action, is identical to the western. But the Russian concept of moral, cannot even IMAGINE the western man's moral intuitions, nor his faith in one's fellow man. It is unimaginable to a Russian that Western man acts primarily out of moral habit – moral tradition, and altruistic punishment[1] of those who do not observe it. Primarily because we have been both wealthy enough to afford to act morally, and because we were successfully able to use law and the church to enforce morality by punishment by law, by ostracization by the church, and by starvation by deprivation of access to land necessary for sustenance and survival.
The Russian does not pay for commons. He does not pay to punish. He does not pay to reward. He does nothing that is not in his direct interest. And he expects all others to do the same. He cannot imagine a world where we take as little as possible to one another and contribute as much to the commons as we can – unknowingly.
This is why authoritarian governments are necessary: commons are not voluntarily constructed, because all fear that any such contributions will be privatized by individuals, or corruption by the state. It is challenging enough to create a civic order such that we produce ethical man. But it is extremely expensive to create moral man – the man who neither externalizes costs into the commons, nor avoids paying for the commons, and instead, constantly contributes to the commons.
Western man is moral man taken to the logical extreme. This is why motivating the western man to neoconservative war is easy – by invoking and appealing to our instinct of altruistic punishment . Motivating the Russian to war, requires creating the feeling that he is under threat. He does not fight for moral reasons. he fights to steal, or to prevent stealing, but he does not fight for the common good.
This is the opposite of western man. Western man produces commons. It is our competitive advantage: truth telling, monuments, parks, civic architecture, civic organizations, arts, chivalry, the jury, and consensual government are commons unique to western man.
Yes, we are full of own folly – we still feel, as true Burkeian evangelism, that we must save the world from ignorance, mysticism, poverty, familialism, hierarchy and tyranny. And we cannot grasp, that like our light skin, hair, and eyes, our moral intuitions are recessive, and preserved only through biological and cultural selection and inbreeding.
Current emerging evidence suggests it is in no small part genetic. And that it emerged somewhere in the north of the North Sea – Baltic Region. That it emerged less than 20k years ago. And that it is a recessive trait, like intelligence, only sustained, and protected from regression against them mean by inbreeding.
Russians cannot imagine that western man operates by altruistic punishment – of paying high personal cost to build what he sees as the voluntary civic order. Even if we are unaware that our genetics and culture are a unique, fragile and vulnerable outlier possible only in and around the north sea, and that not only can the reset of the world NOT make use of our model, but that it is antithetical to them to conceive of a world in which we all contribute to the commons, rather than seek to contribute as little as possible and take as much as we can.
Russia(Muscovia)[2] and the West can both have Nationalism (advancing the interests of the extended family and tribe), and we can both have Traditionalism (the family as the central unit of society), but unless we wish to descend into Russo-Jewish brutality and Asiatic deception, we must retain what separates us from the west: truth telling, rule of law, the jury, and the civic society.
We already have had enough of Russo-jewish influence for one century in this world, and the Russian-sponsored Frankfurt school's damage to our society through pseudoscientific propaganda remains with us like an intellectual cancer, destroying our people and our culture.
Love your people first. Defend the west from what the Russo-Jewish empire have done to us already with Marxism, Communism, socialist, postmodernism, progressivism. Russia is not a model.
Instead, raise arms, steel yourself for heady violence, and get into the streets, and start a revolution – for you and yours. Defend the west from the tyranny of the east. WE have done it for almost 5000 years, and now is not the time to surrender.
The best revolution is the one with the greatest volume of heady murder. A lot of killing is needed. A lot of killing must be done. And if we kill enough of them, then we will restore the west.
Deeds not words.
Cry havoc.
Curt Doolittle
Kiev, Ukraine.
[1] "Altruistic punishment means that individuals punish, although the punishment is costly for them and yields no material gain. "
[2] The only "Rus" are in Ukraine. Kiev was the founding city of the Rus (Scandinavian) peoples who created it as a trading post – largely for slave trading – with byzantium. The Mongols destroyed it and teh Muscovites tried to gain their narrative history by adopting the Rus history of Kiev as their own. This is Russia's problem. They have no history to be proud of. No culture to be proud of. No civic mythos, and no common people to rally. They are a set of conquered peoples, despotic peoples ruled by despots in Moscow. The head of the Muscovite empire, won by brutality, held by brutality, and now expanding through postmodern lies and brutality.

And now you Ukrainian Übermenschen want to defeat Russian imperialism?
The Ukraine is BROKE,BANKRUPT. The Ukraine is run by 'miserable representatives

this failed cleptocratic state. This piece of filth Ihor Kolomoisky sits at the apex

Dostojewski, Tolstoj, Stravinsky — these are all ASIATICS?

I think he means in the sense of creating alternate realities — lying, in short.
As I've said before — the Soviet Union was the worst possible combination of Russian Savagery and Jewish Pseudo Science.

Grasp that Ukraine had The Constitution of Pylyp Orlyk or
Pacts and Constitutions of Rights and Freedoms of the
Zaporizhian Host before there was USA.
Those that understand those documents and concepts continue
to fight today and forever.
Those concepts are deep in Ukraine…
And your aggression has reminded Ukrainians who they are, kapish?

Discloser ~ While LEGOLAND did host our entire stay, I paid for this meal myself. All options are obviously 100% my own!
As I sit here at home in Western New York on this dreadful rainy day, all I can think about is the fabulous time we had a LEGOLAND Florida last month! Definitely one of those places I didn't expect to fall in love with & left totally obsessed!!! Everything really was awesome! I can't wait to head back someday!
While roaming the park the first afternoon we were at LEGOLAND Florida, we stumbled upon the best theme park discovery of all times!!!! A freaking pizza buffet! We frequent theme parks a lot. It's one of our favorite family things to! As a self proclaimed theme park connoisseur, I can personally tell you most theme parks charge a fortune for their food. It's like they know you're going to be starving at one point and say screw it and shell out those big bucks to satisfy your craving. So to find Fun Town Pizza & Pasta Buffet in the middle of LEGOLAND Florida was a dream come true!
Fun Town Pizza & Pasta Buffet is obviously an all you can eat dining option offered in the park! I will compare it to an "upscale" CiCi's. Same concept, just a whole lot cleaner and the food prepared a tad bit better! The food is always hot too since this is a pretty popular spot to dine. The pizza is constantly coming out of those pizza ovens to accommodate everyone!
I know, after scrolling this far you're like what's the catch?! A buffet at a theme park sounds amazing, but how much will I be shelling out for unlimited pizza. The answer? Only $16.99 for adults & $10 for kids! Dinning at a theme park doesn't get any cheaper than that folks! Drinks are even included in that price! A steal of a lifetime if you ask me.
Have you ever been to LEGOLAND?
We're planning a trip to Florida in two years, when our daughter is 6 so she can enjoy it more. We will add this to the agenda.
A pizza bar resaurant with a salad bar, that is a good thing lol. Looks really god and yeah that is a very reasonable price.
Sadly, we have not been to Legoland yet. I would love to go as it looks like so much fun.


Audi adds new A8 Sport to updated range | What Car?
Audi has added a new trim level to its A8 line-up, with a new A8 Sport model joining the range.
Replacing the older Sport Executive specification, the new A8 Sport will go on sale this summer and forms part of the updated A8 range.
Available in standard wheelbase guise only, Sport models get slightly tweaked exterior styling "reminiscent of the flagship S8", as well as new side skirts, Matrix LED headlights and 19in alloy wheels.
Inside, an upgraded sound system features alongside Audi's connected infotainment, which can act as a WiFi hotspot on the move.
Elsewhere in the updated range, the LWB A8 continues to be powered by frugal petrol-electric hybrid powertrains, as well as the current 6.3-litre W12 and twin-turbo 4.0-litre V8 options. Standard wheelbase models get either a 3.0-litre V6 diesel - with power now boosted to 258bhp - or a 4.2-litre V8 diesel.
The MY16 Audi A8 range starts from £59,585. Prices for the A8 Sport start at £65,825 for the 3.0-litre diesel, and rise to £76,435 for the 4.2-litre V8 diesel.
