We've Uncovered 10 All New Secret Surf Spots... Using Google Earth
Top, Top 10 5:48 PM

"It's a small world… but I wouldn't want to paint it…" Steven Wright
Google Earth has been crucial in finding some of the world's newest waves. Intrepid surf explorers like Kepa Acero, Alex Grey, Chris Burkard, Harrison Roach and Mikhala Jones have used the tool to find perfect, never-ridden-before waves in places such as Angola, Alaska, Indonesia, India and Antarctica.
But, in terms of exploration these finds are, both literally and metaphorically, the tip of the iceberg. Where could the next unknown waves be found? We take to Google Earth to find out.

1) The Chagos Islands
Deep in the heart of the Indian Ocean, the Chagos Islands or archipelago lie between Africa and Indonesia, about 500 km due south of The Maldives, directly in the path of the same swell lines that roar through J-Bay, sweep into Indonesia and smash against Western Australia.
In addition to their location is their sheer size. The archipelago consists of seven atoll formations, including the largest atoll structure in the world, the Great Chagos bank with a total area of 13,000 km2. Are we starting to get a picture of the potential of this place?
Unfortunately these islands are the most important military outpost in the Indian Ocean, a British Indian Ocean Territory, leased to the USA and operated as a joint UK-US naval support facility. Still with the waves on offer, a few years in Guantanamo might just be worth it.

2) Ascension Island
Where is it? 7°56' S, 14°22' W, which is quite accessible, really. Ascension Island is a 60-square mile lump of geriatric molten volcanic rock right in the middle of nowhere, bang smack in the heart of the South Atlantic Ocean that now serves as a British naval and communications base.
It operates under British rule, has one small treacherous wharf and a reputation as one of the most isolated islands on earth. Crowds, therefore, shouldn't be a problem.
However from the swell charts, it looks the early months from Jan to March would be the most consistent and there is a variety of reef breaks, points and a harbour that look like they could provide incredible waves.

3) Iran
The coast of Iran is tucked up in the Gulf of Oman. The surrounding coasts of Oman, Yemen and Pakistan had all been surfed, by a mix of Dubai expats, war correspondents, army dudes and surf explorers, and yet Iran had never been touched.
Until Irish surfer, scientist and all-round legend Easkey Britton travelled there in 2011. She found waves and taught a few Iranian woman to surf (you can read all about it here). Since then those initial surfers have kept it up and with Easkey's continued encouragement, a nascent Iranian surf culture has been established.
However, they have only explored a smidgen of the available coastline and Google Earth reveals beachbreaks, the odd coral reef and rivermouths that might provide excellent waves with the right swell. Pack the headscarf and 6'0" and desert jewels await.

4) Vava'u
A recent UK TV show hosted by Grand Design's Kevin McCloud called Escape To The Wild featured a couple and their three children living off the grid on a tiny, remote, island in the Vava'u chain located near Tonga. And I couldn't help but notice a series of tubing lefts that were breaking just in front of their self-made house as Kevin wanged on about solar power and self-sustainability.
A check on Google Earth sees this island is just one of thousands in a triangle that takes in Fiji, Tonga and Samoa. The waves in these areas have been well documented, but the potential of these other islands has in no way been fully explored. There just has to be another Cloudbreak out there somewhere.
And the worst thing? The three boys growing up on the island didn't even surf. The isolation, lack of education and general weirdness of the parents I can understand, but living there and not surfing is just plain childhood cruelty.

5) Terra del Fuego
"There has been surfers in the area before," Basque surf explorer Kepa Acero tells Mpora, "but I was pretty sure no one had been this far south to this wave. From checking Google Earth swell charts and local maps there was the possibility of incredible waves. I had to go."
Kepa did in fact go, to the very southern tip of South America, documenting his solo travels all the way to the end of the Earth. Once there he discovered a perfect lefthander and the exhilaration of finding a new wave after months and months of planning, travel and setbacks.
Kepa who had discovered waves in Indonesia, Angola and India, believes there are more perfect waves in Terra del Fuego and beyond. "With time, and patience, and Google Earth, uncrowded perfection awaits."
6) Okinawa Islands
The Japanese Islands stretch like a string of pearls between the southern tip of Japan down to the northern tip of Taiwan, making a border between the Pacific and the East China Sea. With China close by these islands have been disputed by China and Japan for centuries and were also scenes of some of the Pacific's heaviest Navy battles in the Second World War. But it's surfers who might be fighting over it in the future.
The islands are surrounded by numerous coral reef passes and with them copping the same typhoon swells that light up the Philippines and Japan, the potential for exceptional waves in this tropical paradise is huge. A Google Earth check shows potential on the bigger islands of Okinawa-Jima and Amimi, but the specks like Takera-Jima have to have waves. Just watch out for the 50 year unexploded mortar shells.

7) South Sumatra
With Indonesia being such a surfing hotspot, you'd think that finding undiscovered waves would be impossible. But it's worth remembering that waves are still being discovered on Bali, a relatively tiny island that's housed intrepid surfers since the early 1970s. So when you look at southern Sumatra, which has 1000 odd miles of coastline before the well known Mentawai Islands start screening the coast, you get glimpse of the potential.
The coastline is often inaccessible by road, and while there are well known spots around places like Krui, this is part of the world that might just have the most untapped source of incredible waves in the world. You'll probably need a boat, some anti-malarial tablets and whole of lot of luck, but out there in the jungle is a wave with your name on it.

8) Orkney, Shetland and Faroe Islands
The arrival of better wetsuits has led to a whole "cold water" movement, pushing the surfing world farther north to places both cold and remote. The Orkney, Shetland and Faroe Islands fit the bill, the islands that fan north out from the tip of Scotland out into the North Sea between Norway and Iceland.
There is a small but diamond hardcore surfing community in these parts, but even they haven't scoured every available nook and cranny, of which there are thousands, in the islands. The winds and weather make exploration difficult (though not on Google Earth) but with an abundance of swell and a mix of reef, rivermouths and beaches, perfect waves await. As do the ice cream headaches.

9) Alaska
Similar to the above, just a little colder, more raw, bigger and featuring big fuck off bears. With over 34,000 miles of rugged coastline, snow-covered mountains, fjords, violent weather patterns and 30-foot tidal changes, this is not an easy place to go exploring for surf, but only a tiny fraction of the wave potential has been touched.
Most of the waves are found in the huge swathe of the Gulf of Alaska and in the Aleutian Islands that sweep out in a straight dotted line towards Russia. A recent mission featuring surfers Alex Grey and Pete Devries for Surfer glimpsed the incredible quality that is on offer. You'll need cash, time and Bear Grylls-like survivor skills, but there is a vast expanse of unchartered surf territory just waiting for those that seek adventure and the thrill of a beautiful, harsh environment.
10) Burma
Located high up in the Bay of Bengal and sandwiched between Thailand and India, both of which have waves, the waves of Burma lie waiting to be explored. A narrow swell window and a long time embargo on tourism have kept surf exploration to a minimum around new tourist destinations like Ngapali Beach and Cheduba Island.
However, farther to the east lies a thousand kilometres of beaches and reefs, with good old Google Earth showing rivermouths that provide passes through the coral and completely uninhabited by humans, let alone surfers. Warm water is a given, as is a plethora of tropical diseases, but sometimes you have to pay to play

For The Adventurous – Exotic Types Of Sushi
focusJapaneseKnifeAdmin
One of the most popular exotic dishes to originate from Japan is sushi. The main ingredient of the dish is rice cooked in vinegar. However, now many different types of sushi are available in restaurants, all tasting different but all having rice cooked in vinegar.
The difference is mainly in the toppings and spices that are added to the rice to make it more flavorful. Also the way the dish is prepared matters and changing the preparation method results in a different type of sushi.
The different types of sushi
Even though it was originally a Japanese dish, its soaring popularity has helped spread its unique flavor across the globe. The main types of sushi are as follows:
Nigri Sushi
To prepare this kind of sushi the sour vinegary rice is pressed hard into a rectangle box using hands with a little wasabi and a topping. The topping usually consists of a fish such as salmon or tuna. The fish is mostly raw but can be cooked too.
Oshi Sushi
To prepare this kind of sushi, a wooden box mold shaped like a square is used. Once the rice is cooked and lined with toppings, the mold is pressed down hard on it to give it the particular shape. The mold is called Oshibako, hence the name of the sushi is Oshi Sushi.
Bara Sushi
This is one of the types of sushi where the rice and all the other ingredients are prepared as one would make a salad. The texture is slightly different too.
Chirashi Sushi
Using a special kind of bowl known traditionally as the Gomoku Sushi or Iso-don the rice is covered with layer upon layer of different kinds of fish. For sea food lovers, this is as good as the dish gets.
The rice for this dish are usually steamed and then made into a ball together with the other ingredients.
This is one of the types of sushi that is wrapped in seaweed and pressed into a cone. It is one of the most widely eaten sushi.
While the basic ingredients of all types of sushi is rice and fish, many other ingredients are added to the different dishes to make each unique in their own way. The taste, the texture, even the crockery used to serve each sushi is different. That can be one of the reasons the unique flavors of the dishes remain a mystery to anyone outside Japan.

INF Neil Walker and OF Brandon Nimmo, but not Triple-A Las Vegas 1B Dominic Smith, are expected to join the Mets on Friday for the start of their series against the Mariners in Seattle, according to SNY contributor Adam Rubin.
The Mets traded 1B Lucas Duda to the Rays on Thursday night for reliever Drew Smith, with Jay Bruce getting the start at first base against the Padres.
Dominic Smith, 22, is hitting .337 with a .390 OBP and .524 SLG with 15 HR, 30 doubles, and 68 RBI in 102 games this season for Las Vegas.
The Mets likely want to showcase Bruce and OF Curtis Granderson between now and the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline, meaning a callup of Dominic Smith will likely have to wait.
Walker has been on the disabled list June 15 with a torn hamstring. He is expected to return to playing second base when he rejoins the Mets, despite starting the last few games at third base during his rehab with Triple-A Las Vegas.
"We just want to protect ourselves," manager Terry Collins said when asked about Walker working out at third base. "We want to make sure we cover all the bases. We talked to Neil about it and he was fine with it."
Walker has played just 15 games at third base during his nine-year career. His last appearance at third was in 2010 for the Pirates.
In 60 games this year, Walker is batting .270 with a .356 OBP, nine HR and 33 RBI.
Nimmo, who is hitting .350 with a .458 OBP and .400 SLG in 15 games for the Mets this season, has been on the DL since July 8 due to a collapsed lung.

Q: How could i make my app learn like a keyboard? So I've made an app that makes sentences, much like a keyboard of words and pictures, what I'd like to achieve is a kind of predictive text where if a user chooses X they are shown Y and Z, user doesnt want either of these and chooses A.
The next time the user picks X they are shown A, Y and Z, so it learns like your keyboard would, my words are stored in a database and right now i have a crude solution where if the user chooses X they are shown Y and Z, and I also track how many times each card is clicked and show them too but it has no context of full sentences or previously made sentences, i hope this is making sense as I've no idea where to start I've been looking at maybe a hashmap full of essentially TAGS as key value pairs and adding to it but I need to research this, I've also looked at candidate view but that would mean declaring my app as an Input Method I believe and I need the normal keyboard for other things, but I'm not sure how that works or if it's remotely viable so I'm hoping someone can educate me here or point to a better solution.
Below I'll post excerpts of what I'm doing thus far
   //Check what card was pressed and update predictedCardActivityDB example
   //to carry on like this would mean a lot of typing
   //and not a lot of smart results

   if (cardsChoice.predictive == true) {
                String item = cardWriter.getCardSpeech();
                switch(item){
                    case " I":
                        String[] I_String = {"LIKE","LOVE","WANT"};
                        predictedCardActivityDB.prepareCardData
                        (I_String,getActivity(),prefString);
                        break;
                    case " I'm":
                        String[] Im_String =
                        {"HAPPY","SAD","ANGRY","HUNGRY","FEELING"};
                        predictedCardActivityDB.prepareCardData
                        (Im_String,getActivity(),prefString);
                        break;

And this is the prepareCardData method excerpt nothing to see here just updates the lists based on the string array
 public static void prepareCardData
 (String[] predictionArray, Context context ,String prefString){

   //boring database stuff

    DaoMaster.DevOpenHelper helper =
    new DaoMaster.DevOpenHelper(context, "ADD_NEW_CARD", null);
    SQLiteDatabase db = helper.getWritableDatabase();
    DaoMaster daoMaster = new DaoMaster(db);
    DaoSession daoSession = daoMaster.newSession();
    addNewCardDao leaseDao = daoSession.getAddNewCardDao();
    QueryBuilder qb = leaseDao.queryBuilder()
    .orderDesc(addNewCardDao.Properties.Clicked);
    QueryBuilder qb2 = leaseDao.queryBuilder()
    .orderDesc(addNewCardDao.Properties.Clicked);
    predictsList.clear();
    String[] strings1 = {"ORIGINAL","SIMPLE","PHOTOS", "USER"};

    switch (prefString){
    case "PHOTOS":

        if (predictionArray != null){

            //qb gets any card clicked >2
            //qb gets all favourites tagged by a boolean

            qb.where(addNewCardDao.Properties.CardIconType.in(strings1),
                    qb.or(addNewCardDao.Properties.Clicked.ge(2),
                            addNewCardDao.Properties.Fav.ge(true)));
            predictsList = qb.list();

            //qb2 gets any card that matches a word from the passed in
            //string array predictionArray

            qb2 = leaseDao.queryBuilder();
            qb2.where(addNewCardDao.Properties.CardIconType.in(strings1),
            qb2.or(addNewCardDao.Properties.CardName.in(predictionArray),
            addNewCardDao.Properties.CardTitle.in(predictionArray)));
            temptList = qb2.list();
            db.close();
            temptList.addAll(predictsList);

            predicts_card_adapter.notifyItemInserted(predictedCardActivityDB.temptList.size());

            predictsList = qb.list();
            //this should work

Q: Как ограничить скорость записи диска для ftp? Как ограничить скорость записи на  диск для pure-ftp или другими программами?

A: Можно настроить скорость загрузки/скачивания (Upload/Download).
Загрузка флаг: -T и скачивание флаг: -t
К примеру ограничим скорость скачивания с сервера до 10 Кб/с:
pure-pw usermod HereFtpUserName -t 10 -m

Скорость загрузки на сервер:
pure-pw usermod HereFtpUserName -T 10 -m

Проверить это можно так:
pure-pw show HereFtpUserName

В результате снижается нагрузка на диск, особенно если пользователей больше одного)

A Commentary on the Revelation of St. John, Volume 1
By Bryce Johnston, John Johnstone
porary with the seventh vial; let us proceed to consider the import of the predictions which it contains.
This trumpet contains a wo, the third and last Wo; a wo not to the church of Chrift, (the hea." ven), but to the votaries and citizens of the Ro.. man empire, the inhabiters of the earth, as is evident from chap. viii. 13. This trumpet predicting the final overthrow of Papal Rome and the complete triumph of the church of Christ, must contain the greatest and last wo to the votaries of Rome. Either of these events would have distresfed them more than tongue can express; the two together muft occasion a distress too great for us at present to figure.
This wo is to come (raxu) quickly. The arrogance, pride, self-confidence and vain claim to infallibility of Papal Rome shall hinder her from perceiving the approach of her complete overthrow until it is just at hand. With respect to the unexpectedness and rapidity of this overthrow, God says, chap. xvi. 15. "Behold, I coine as a thief in "the night."
This trumpet which brings the last wo upon the Roman empire, (the inhabiters of the earth), brings praise and triumph to heaven, the church of Christ. "For there were great voices in hea. " ven, saying, the kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord and of his Christ,
" and
" and he shall reign for ever and ever." Then Christians in the church of Christ Mall lift up their voices aloud, and in triumph proclaim the purity, . prosperity, and extent of Christ's spiritual kingdom, in such a manner that no part of the world shall be ignorant of the proclamation, or willing and able to gainsay it. Then all the kingdoms, which Daniel foretold should arise and fall in the world before the kingdom of Christ should extend over the whole world, shall have fallen, and that kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, which is not meats and drinks, but truth and righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghot, fall extend over the whole earth. Then all the particular kingdoms and churches, which shall be erected in the world, for the civil and religious government of men in society, shall be formed on these principles of truth, righteousness, peace, and joy, which form the constitution of the kingdom of our Lord and of his Chrift. From that time forth, so long as this world stands, Christ's church shall reign in triumph; no kingdom shall again rise up to persecute and oppress it with success, as Rome Heathen and Papal had done before that period, and its purity and triumph shall be for ever and ever in the heavenly world.
The language of the 15th verse clearly teaches the divinity of Christ. It is said, " The kingdoms " of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord! VOL. I.
" and of his Christ, and He shall reign for ever " and ever." Though it is said the kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord and of his Christ, it is not added, and they shall reign, which must have been the only proper expression if our Lord and his Christ had been essentially different from each other, but it is said, "and " He shall reign," which can be proper language on no other account than that which is stated by Christ himself, when he says, John x. 30. "I and " my Father are one."
The glory of this triumphant state of Christ's kingdom is described in a very particular and full manner in chapters xix. xx. xxi. and a part of xxii. and shall be illustrated in the commentary on these chapters. On this glorious occasion, the true church of Christ, represented by the twentyfour elders, with the most profound humility and devotion, and the warmest gratitude, shall adore and praise God as the self-existent, omnipresent, and omnipotent Being, whose perfect knowledge of all times and places, and whose supreme power, are now fully illustrated by the exact accomplishment of all the predictions in this book, concerning the ftate of the world at large, of his church in particular, and of its triumphant state in this world in. an especial manner. Now they adore that foreknowledge of God which perceives with certainty, and that powerful providence of his which overrules
all events, even the most contingent, to fixed and determinate ends, without doing violence to the liberty of moral agents and accountable creatures. They praise God, because he hath taken his great power and hath reigned. Then it shall appear, that the church of Christ hath been supported by a divine power, and that therefore it hath finally prevailed over the opposition of devils and wicked men.
This interposition of God in establishing Christ's kingdom over the whole world is called his great power, that is, in the symbolical language, the exer. tion of his power in favours of the church of Christ, of which all his former exertions were only types. However great, gracious, and many have been the exertions of divine power in favours of the church of Christ, all these shall not only be greatly exceeded by that one which shall over. throw Antichrist, bind Satan, and establish and perpetuate the reign of truth, righteousness, peace and joy over the whole earth, but' by that one, their true intention, and the hand that performed them, shall be rendered much more visible than they were before that period. Then the kingdom of God shall come, and it shall then be evident that his is the power which hath brought about that period, and that the whole shall illustriously display his glory. At that time, the nations of the earth shall be angry to see all their
3 F 3
attempts to banish the true, pure, spiritual, holy, and simple religion of Jesus from the earth, vain. It shall vex them to see this religion and its votaries triumphant, both of whom they had long treated with such contempt. Then the wrath of God shall in heavy judgements fall upon those nations who, by contemning his religion, would not have Christ to reign over them, nor over the world, if they could have prevented his reign. Then the prediction in Plalm ii. 1,-9. concerning such kings and people shall be accomplished.
At this period, ample justice shall be done to the characters and memory of the dead ; that is, of the martyrs who, both under heathen and papal Rome, sealed their testimony to the truth with their blood. Until that period shall come, their principles, motives and characters, shall be misre. presented by the greatest part of mankind; and though their murderers, as individuals, must have felt the wrath of God, for the injuries which they did to them, yet till then their blood shall not be fully avenged on the collective budy of the Roman state which persecuted them to death. Those, who were put to death by Rome in its heathen state, were misrepresented by the heathens as contemners of the gods, enemies to Cæsar, and disturbers of the public peace. Whilst papal Rome | built their tombs, garnished their sepulchres, and
even worshipped them as mediators between God

On View: One Ball Total Equilibrium
Jeff Koons, One Ball Total Equilibrium Tank (Spalding Dr. J 241 Series), 1985. Glass, steel, sodium chloride reagent, distilled water, basketball; 64 3/4 x 30 3/4 x 13 1/4 in. (164.5 x 78.1 x 33.7 cm). Collection of B. Z. and Michael Schwartz. ©Jeff Koons.
On view in the exhibition, Jeff Koons: A Retrospective, One Ball Total Equilibrium Tank, (Spalding Dr. J 241 Series), (1985) continues to resonate with me since I first saw it in the Whitney's 1987 Biennial exhibition. For this sculpture—and others with multiple basketballs in his Equilibrium series—Jeff Koons set out to have, in his words, "a basketball just hover in a state of equilibrium, where all the forces would be equal."
Koons consulted with the Nobel Prize-winning physicist, Dr. Richard P. Feynman, and was able to suspend the basketball by filling more than half the tank with a solution of refined salt and distilled water. He also filled the ball itself with distilled water so that it would be supported by the heavier saline mixture. Then Koons slowly poured more water into the top part of the tank so that the ball floats in the liquid instead of on its surface. For Koons, the basketballs resemble "something very, very pure, just like an embryo would be and water within the womb."
However, this state of perfection is fragile and impermanent. Temperature fluctuations and vibrations blend the solutions of water, causing the ball to move off-center and eventually to sink. The improbability of this sculpture underscores its metaphorical associations with life, death, and ambition that Koons carefully considered when he made a series of works for Equilibrium, his 1985 exhibition at the East Village Gallery, International with Monument.
Jeff Koons, Dr. Dunkenstein, 1985. Framed Nike poster; 45 1/2 x 31 1/2 in. (115.6 x 80 cm). Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; promised gift of Thea Westreich Wagner and Ethan Wagner P. 2011.216. © Jeff Koons
Koons conceived his Equilibrium exhibition as a multilayered allegory about unattainable states of being. The other works in the series are comprised of unaltered Nike basketball posters and sculptures of flotation devices that address impossible dreams, life, and death in different ways. Koons refers to the iconic basketball players in the posters as "sirens" who beckon young people to fame and fortune, unobtainable for all but the very few; cast in bronze, a lifeboat and an aqualung—designed to save lives—become lethal death traps.
Jeff Koons, Lifeboat, 1985. Bronze; 12 x 80 x 60 in. (30.5 x 203.2 x 152.4 cm). Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago; Gerald S. Elliott Collection, 1995.56.a-c. © Jeff Koons
The works in the Equilibrium series reveal Koons's astoundingly diverse approaches to transforming familiar objects into archetypes. But although the posters and bronze sculptures possess their own intense energy and spirit, One Ball Total Equilibrium Tank continues to stand out for me. I remember how awed I was by my first encounter with the iconic, gravity-defying basketball floating in the center of its tank in 1987. Today, this remarkable piece retains its power and magic as a compelling symbol of contemporary culture.

Mental retardation is a term used when a person has certain limitations in mental functioning and in skills such as communicating, taking care of him or herself, and social skills. These limitations will cause a child to learn and develop more slowly than a typical child. Children with mental retardation may take longer to learn to speak, walk, and take care of their personal needs such as dressing or eating. They are likely to have trouble learning in school. They will learn, but it will take them longer. There may be some things they cannot learn.
The USA's special education law, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), defines mental retardation as . . .
As many as 3 out of every 100 people in the country have mental retardation (The Arc, 2001). Nearly 613,000 children ages 6 to 21 have some level of mental retardation and need special education in school (Twenty-fourth Annual Report to Congress, U.S. Department of Education, 2002). In fact, 1 out of every 10 children who need special education has some form of mental retardation.


The Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) is responsible for the importation and distribution of booze in this Canadian province. Americans can buy their liquor at grocery stores and convenience stores, but in most Canadian provinces this is not the case. With the exception of Quebec, each province regulates the sale of booze by selling it in specific, licensed locations. In Ontario, that is the LCBO, which owns and operates thousands of liquor stores across the province. They are beautiful stores, stocked with wines, spirits and ales from across Canada and around the world, staffed by knowledgable experts who can help suggest the perfect pairing.
Each season, the LCBO issues a free magazine called Food & Drink to its stores. It is a beautiful, full-colour publication filled with original recipes for cocktails, suggestions for wine pairings and excellent food recipes as well. It offers decorating tips for holiday tables and is one of the best giveaway publications I have ever seen.
In its current issue, there is a wonderful feature on spring punches that I wanted to share with you. I intend on trying each one of these this season! I hope you do too! Each recipe makes approximately eight drinks.
To a punch bowl or large pitcher, add 1 cup raspberry vodka, half a cup of Alizé Red Passion Liqueur, 1 can frozen concentrated lemonade, 3 cups water and 1 cup soda water. Add 1 cup of fresh raspberries, 1 cup of red currants (or sliced cherries), 1 lemon sliced in wheels, 2 limes sliced in wheels. Pour into tall glasses with ice, evenly distributing the fruit.
To a punch bowl or large pitcher, add 1 cup of Smirnoff Twisted White Grape vodka, half a cup of Chase Elderflower Liqueur, half a cup of Sauvignon Blanc, 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice and 3 cups of white cranberry juice. Add 2 lemons sliced in wheels, 1 cup sliced green seedless grapes and 1 English cucumber sliced into thin rounds. Pour into glasses, distributing fruit evenly. For serving you can add an edible flower to each glass.
To a punch bowl or large pitcher, add 1 cup rhubarb ginger syrup (recipe follows) one-and-a-half cups of spiced rum, half a cup of lime juice, two cups pineapple juice and two cups cranberry juice. Add two cups of strawberries, sliced, one cup chopped pineapple and one cup dried cranberries. Pour into glasses with ice, distributing fruit evenly. RHUBARB GINGER SYRUP: Clean and chop 4 cups rhubarb and place a pot with two cups of water. Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Add 1 cup sugar and one teaspoon of fresh ginger. Continue to simmer until rhubarb is soft. Strain out liquid. Let cool, cover and refrigerate.
To a punch bowl or large pitcher, add 1 cup Irish whiskey, half a cup of Cointreau, half a cup of McGuinness Cherry Brandy, half a cup of fresh lemon juice, one cup fresh (cloudy) apple juice and 2 cups chilled orange pekoe tea. Add two lemons sliced into wheels, 2 oranges sliced into wheels, and 20 fresh mint leaves. Pour into glasses with ice, distributing fruit evenly, and garnish each with a sprig of mint.
The cover of the Spring 2012 issue of Food & Drink, a glossy, full-colour magazine published by the LCBO and distributed free, in-store, to its customers.
This is an LCBO location not far from where I live. It's always a pleasure visiting their stores: big, bright and beautiful with an incredible selection.
What a great little giveaway magazine. I will certainly be using the recipes you have shown. They all look great. Over here you can buy alcohol in many, many shops but I like the idea of special stores like you have.
Those spring punches would definitely drive you crazy.

The Republic and the Confederacy
The year 1915 saw the dedication of Yale's Civil War memorial. It had begun in 1909, with a call from Yale alumni at that year's Commencement ceremonies to build a memorial in honor of all the Yale men who had fought and died in the Civil War: those who fought for the Union, and those who fought for the Confederacy. The memorial was ensconced in the heart of the campus, the Woolsey Hall rotunda. The names carved on the marble panels weren't organized by their loyalty. They were organized by class year.
It was the first time a Northern institution of learning had done such a thing. All others built their memorials solely for Union soldiers.
From the start, Yale was explicit about what it was trying to accomplish. William Washington Gordon, a Yale graduate of the Class of 1854, had been a Confederate general—and he was a member of the committee that designed the memorial. I quote his April 12, 1910, note to Talcott Russell in full:
"My understanding of the proposal to erect a memorial at Yale to the Yale men of both armies was that it was to embody and recognize the fact that each was true to his principles and each deserved equal tribute of praise and that Yale University wished to proclaim this fact to the world, that the mingled dust of both armies created a solid foundation for the future of the nation."
Steven Rome '20 has been a lead researcher with the Yale and Slavery Working Group.

Ley resigns as Turnbull announces entitlements overhaul
The Prime Minister has announced Health Minister Sussan Ley has resigned from the front bench in the wake of a travel expenses scandal and will announce her replacement next week.
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has announced Health Minister Sussan Ley has resigned from the front bench in the wake of travel entitlements scandal.
He is expected to announce her replacement next week.
Ms Ley had initially stepped aside temporarily without ministerial pay after it was revealed she claimed several taxpayer-funded trips to the Gold Coast, including one trip on which she bought a $795,000 investment property.
Mr Turnbull revealed her resignation as he announced a new agency that would overhaul the compliance of parliamentarian entitlements.
Sussan Ley resigns, Turnbull anounces monthly reports on politicians' spending #auspol
— Myles Morgan (@ImMylesMorgan) January 13, 2017
"An independent parliamentary expenses authority will be a compliance, reporting and transparency body," he said.
"It will monitor and adjudicate all claims by MPs, senators and ministers, ensuring that taxpayers' funds are spent appropriately and in compliance with the rules. The body will be governed by an independent board, which will include a person experienced in auditing, in audit matters, a person with wide experience in remuneration matters, the president, for the time being, of the remuneration tribunal, a former judicial officer and a former MP.
"Specific details of this reform will be drawn up by the Special Minister of State in consultation with members and senators of both the major and smaller parties."

Agency to offer transparency, accountability
Mr Turnbull said politicians "owe the people of Australia the greatest transparency and the greatest accountability and having this information available regularly - monthly, as I said - that will ensure, I believe, a great change in transparency and accountability".
"Australians are entitled to expect that politicians spend taxpayers' money carefully, ensuring at all times that their work expenditure represents an efficient, effective and ethical use of public resources," he said.
"We should be, as politicians, backbenchers and ministers, we should be as careful and as accountable with taxpayers' money as we possibly can be. We are dealing with other people's money."
In relation to Ms Ley, Mr Turnbull said she had "she has made a judgement that is, I believe, in the interests of the government and she has made an appropriate judgement".

— Sussan Ley (@sussanley) January 13, 2017
"The important thing now is to ensure that for the future Australians are absolutely reassured that parliamentary expenses are - which are work expenses after all - are appropriately spent by parliamentarians and that they are - parliamentarians are promptly, transparently account ably delivering them," he said.
Mr Turnbull declined to comment on whether the proposed entitlement reforms were overdue, saying it had "always been an issue and part of the problem is that the work that politicians do is in many ways unique".
"Ultimately, these decisions have got to be the judgement of the individual member of parliament or minister," he said.
"Clearly there will be areas where people's judgement will differ, and, therefore, MPs and senators and ministers have to be responsible for their judgement.
"That's why, I believe, the combination of an independent authority and timely, monthly reporting will make a very big change."
The prime minister's proposed scheme is similar to one put in place in the UK after widespread misuse of parliamentary entitlements was uncovered.
"You can go to any member of the House of Commons and you can see what they have spent and why they spent it and so forth," he said.
"It is very easily searchable; that is what we need to do."
Mr Turnbull said the new authority would undertake work that is currently being done by the Department of Finance.

"It would also be able to provide advice to and rulings to MPs and senators," he said.
"If there is an issue that an MP or a senator is unsure about what is the appropriate course of action, they should be able to get a ruling from that authority which they can then rely on.
"What you find with these issues is often the result of mistake, it is often the result of errors of judgement, but above all, what we need to do is ensure that the Australian people are satisfied, satisfied beyond any shadow of doubt, that parliamentarians are spending their expenses appropriately."
Mr Turnbull said the new agency would provide a more up-to-date method for filing expenses as well as transparency.
"I firmly believe that putting information up there for the public, in as close to realtime as you can, is highly desirable," he said.
Other government ministers, including Mitch Fifield, George Brandis, Peter Dutton and Steve Ciobo have also recently been in the spotlight for claiming tax-payer funded trips to sporting matches and a New Year's Eve party at the prime minister's home.
Liberal Senator Arthur Sinodinos will continue to cover Ms Ley's former ministerial roles for the immediate future.

After a Weekend of Deadly Shootings, Republicans Offer Renewed Support for Red Flag Laws
Seventeen states and Washington, D.C., already have such legislation, also known as extreme risk protection order laws, in place.

In the wake of two deadly mass shootings that took place last weekend, Republican leaders have expressed renewed support for restricting gun access through extreme risk protection order laws, otherwise known as "red flag" laws.
Such laws allow law enforcement and, in some states, family members and mental-health professionals to petition to have an individual's firearms temporarily removed if the person is believed to pose a danger to themself or others. Currently, 17 states and Washington, D.C., have red flag laws in place, according to the Giffords Law Center.
President Donald Trump offered support for red flag laws in a televised address Monday morning, though it's not yet clear whether he was making any kind of formal proposition, CNN reported.
"We must make sure that those judged to pose a grave risk to public safety do not have access to firearms and that if they do, those firearms can be taken through rapid due process," Trump said.
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine unveiled several proposals Tuesday morning to curb gun violence, just two days after a mass shooting in Dayton, Ohio. His proposals include a red flag law, increased access to mental-health treatment, background checks on all gun sales, and harsher penalties for felons caught with guns and straw purchases. Ohio's Republican-controlled legislature rejected red flag laws put forth by former Governor John Kasich; state lawmakers will look at DeWine's new proposals in mid-September.
While the National Rifle Association opposes many of the state red flag laws that have been enacted, the organization has said it could support red flag laws as long as they protect Second Amendment and due process rights.
At a hearing in March where the Senate Committee on the Judiciary discussed red flag laws, committee chair Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) expressed support for the laws. While Graham said he values Second Amendment freedoms, he believes a red flag law in Florida could have prevented the Parkland shooting, since the perpetrator had a documented history of threatening violence. Florida enacted a red flag law as part of gun control legislation signed into law in March of 2018, the month after the Parkland shooting.
In Francie Diep's coverage of the hearing for Pacific Standard, she noted how strong evidence in favor of the laws also comes from research on the relationship between red flag laws and suicide rates:
One recent study found that Indiana's law cut firearm suicides by 8 percent over 10 years and reduced Indiana's suicide rate overall, while Connecticut's law reduced firearm suicides by 14 percent, once the state began implementing it widely. In Connecticut, however, other types of suicides increased. Suicide is the most common reason for firearm-related deaths in America, followed by homicide.
One witness at the hearing, an attorney who's responsible for advising family members and law enforcement seeking extreme risk protection orders, said that her office once had a woman apply for a protection order against her boyfriend, whom she worried was suicidal. The couple returned for their hearing—where a judge would determine whether there was reason to block the boyfriend from buying a gun—holding hands. "The boyfriend, or respondent, had no objection to the extreme risk protection order," Kimberly Wyatt of King County, Washington, said, "and in fact expressed gratitude that somebody cared enough to make sure that he did not have access to a gun while he was in a crisis."

When you avail tree service Buffalo you need to ponder over a lot of things. They do take care of the trees in your professional or residential areas. When you hire a tree service company you do want to get rid of the trees or leaves before they do go on to become a hazard. You may have to prune down a lot of trees at the same time. When you hire a tree service should not only be able to take care of the trees but ensure their proper upkeep as well. For example, if there is a dead tree, the company not only ensures that the dead tree branches are shown the door in a proper manner. You also need to take into consideration that the process of tree removal in a proper and apt manner.
If you go on to hire a professional company they would not mind in providing you with a free estimate. This would be apart from the cost of the original service along with other ancillary services. It does make sense to avail a couple of estimates before you compare them and make a decision. When you go on to avail their services it would not only be about tree removal. Any debris that lies down would be there should be a point of consideration. If the company does seem to be a reputable one they would discuss all the requirements of the client. This would be in particular relation to the landscaping needs. Basically, they are going to educate the customers. They can guide you on what plants would be a cause of hindrance to other plants at your room. If they do go on to figure out any diseases then they need to take proper care of it. They should be able to guide you on how to tackle the issue of diseases along with disorder as well. In doing so it does ensure that the tree would not go on to die a silent death. When the tree does become dormant it would be better if you avail the services of a professional.
There are a lot of companies which does make the task of tree removal a tedious one. But you would have to compare and then make a decision of what suits you the best. So hire them at the earliest before it becomes too late.

It has not been more than two months that the frontman of Linkin Park, Chester Bennington killed himself in his California home.
Bennington was suffering from depression and it got the best of him. Ever since his death, a lot of people have wondered why his family couldn't figure out that things went so far away in his head?
Today, Talinda Bennington, Chester's wife shared a very personal video and photo that shows the Linking Park star eating mystery flavored jelly beans with his children.
Surprisingly the video was captured only 36 hours before his death and it showed Bennington happy and content. Similarly, the photo Talinda shared was also just a few days before his death and showed him happy with his family, proving that depression hides very well.
The photos of Chester Bennington just a day before his death proves that depression has no face. People suffering from depression can start showing signs but you'll never know how far they have gone.
Talinda agrees suicidal thoughts were there, but there was no way of telling that it had gone so far.
Depression is real! Depression can lead to suicide and often times we don't take it seriously. If you know someone who is depressed and shares thoughts of suicide, try and help them before they take it too far.
Linkin Park is all set to hold a special tribute concert to honor Chester Bennington. The concert will be held at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on 27 October.
The concert will also feature a number of other artists. The tickets for the concert will go on sale starting this Friday.
The band also paid tribute to the late Chester Bennington through a song.
