Uncommon title with 100 bright and hand-colored plates depicting major figures and events of Italian history. Each plate accompanies generally eight to twelve text pages relating a tale or biography of the figure(s) depicted. The articles are ornamented with lovely ornate borders which vary in color and design from one piece to the next. The work itself was issued at a time when Italian consciousness was finally being roused with the first rumblings for unification, which would finally come to fruition two decades later, but it is significant that in this work the heros and heroines highlighted come from all over the Italian peninsula, including Naples, Venice, etc. then separate kingdoms, principalities, or under Austrian or Church control. The beauty and scale of this two volume set ensured that it would be treasured and also that it would be lovingly consulted repeatedly to learn about or re-acquiant oneself with the rich heritage of Italian legends. The plates themselves are colored in an interesting manner, with the background and secondary characters and scenery colored lightly, with a thin layer, and the focal point featuring deeper colors, enriched with gum arabic, and the effect of this two-fold approach is to render almost a depth of field. This copy of the set is clean throughout, with both the plates and text leaves nearly spotless. The red morocco was bound by Stikeman & Co. of New York. It has some rubbing along the joints and edges, with heavier wear in the corners. Nonetheless the binding remains handsome and complements well the luxuriance of the content.
4to. 26.5 by 18 cm. 192 hand-colored engraved plates starting with Clovis and continuing on to the Napoleonic era, with the final portrait being of Eugene de Beauharnais. This is then a chronological presentation of the most important French personages -- monarchs, courtiers, warriors, poets, essayists and novelists, artists, saints, scientists, politicians, etc. The portraits accompany biographies of the individuals. Other than Napoleon, these articles run six to sixteen double columned pages, and so the treatments are most certainly not superficial glosses as one might find in a typical glossary of the famous or even a standard encyclopedia. (Napoleon, being the towering figure that he was, is treated to four articles and four portraits, the longest of the articles being 29 pp.) These pieces are written by many different authors, too numerous to list. In any case, it is surely the plates that are of greatest interest, some of awhich, among the more ancient, are artists' imaginings of how the individuals might have looked, since there is generally no accurate visual record of their appearance, if even there are paintings from the individuals' lifetime. The bright and varied coloring of the plates greatly enhances them, and this coloring is often enriched with gum arabic. (Note that this work is not always colored, and it is also uncommon to find the full complement of plates as are here. As with the writers of the biographical articles, the designers (artists) and engravers are too numerous to list. Some light scattered foxing, and more general browning to the pages. Light wear to outer hinges, but overall a clean, sound set.
4to. Engraved frontispiece portrait. Seven plates, some folding. Bookplates of Estelle Doheny and James Bros. Contemporary calf tooled in gilt and blindstamped decorative band. One joint split. Rebacked, both volumes. Covers soiled, with first volume front cover having a large surface abrasion.
5 Jenkins, Louis J., ed. The Croker Papers. The Correspondence and Diaries of the Late Right Honourable John Wilson Croker, LL.D., F.R.S., Secretary to the Admiralty from 1809 to 1830. (Three Volumes) With Portrait.
A "Grangerized" copy -- extra-illustrated and augmented with many original letters and autographs by a virtual who's who on the English political and literary scene of the day tipped into the text. Among these are Sir Robert Peel, the Duke of Wellington (when he was known as Arthur Wellesley and the Field Marshall in Spain), George Canning, Lord Holland, Richard Brinsley Sheridan, Isaac Disraeli, Queen Victoria, Sir Charles Napier, Lord Melbourne, the Duke of Newcastle, Gladstone, Lord Bentinck, Lord John Russell. Also included is a short inscription from Mtternich. In addition, there are a total of 157 extra plates. Occasional light fox marks, and minor soiling on the boards.
8vo. 20 by 15.5 cm. 329 pp. Original wraps bound in. Since there is no number to this copy, it is presumed this was one of the 55 copies produced "hors commerce". Regardless, the full calf binding is special, with its watercolor cameo centerpiece of a sailboat on the front, the floral vignette on the back, and portrait of Shelley on the spine. Alas, the calf is heavily rubbed along the joints, with starting by the lower rear joint, and the spine is darkened and heavily rubbed. Inside, the book is clean and fresh, with the color illustrations uniformly a delight.
Folio-sized (Grand 4to.) 37 by 29 cm. iv, 84 pp. Flamboyant and lively Job illustrations set to colortype. Every other page is a full page illustration, and there are a number of double paged illustrations. Probably the most sought after title in the series of young adult illustrated biographies issued in this young adult series. The interior leaves are clean, with age toning pronounced around the edges. The pictorial cloth binding is heavily soiled and worn, with a few spots entirely worn through, one on the front, a few on the rear, in addition to heavy edgewear. Endpapers are chipped and soiled. Broken hinges repaired.

Highly readable and entertaining biography of the colorful art impresario of the turn-of-the-twentieth century who made a fortune selling and reselling Old Masters paintings from impoverished European nobility to American Robber Barons. Behrman was a highly successful and commercial playwright on Broadway in the mid-20th century and in fact based one of his plays, "Pongo", loosely on Duveen, with Charles Boyer cast in the part of the larger than life gallery owner. Clean and tight copy. DJ has wear, with a few closed tears and chips. Most of the DJ is however present.
Lightly used, with DJ all there but with a few closed tears, rubbing, etc. from the book probably having been read with DJ on and not cared for.
14 Surtees, Robert Smith and E. D. Cuming Robert Smith Surtees 1803-1864 Creator of "Jorrocks"
Light soiling to the cloth binding. Age toning to the leaves. Creases to the dust jacket, along with a few chips and soiling. Now protected by Mylar.
An oversized Hollywood facebook album from when they had faces, issued less than a year after the release of "The Jazz Singer", when silent movies was in its last gasp. Folio-sized, 14 by 10 inches, 35 by 26 cm. 201 pp. Photos of leading Hollywood stars on rectos, with biographical information on the facing page. Among the hundred stars are the giants, many whose names are still big, generally because they survived the transition to sound unharmed -- the obvious stars such as Greta Garbo, Joan Crawford, Gary Cooper, Clara Bow, Lillian Gish, Mary Pickford, Chaplin, Fairbanks, Marion Davies, Buster Keaton, Menjou, Janet Gaynor, etc. etc., as well as those whose names have become more obscure, or whose reputation for whatever reason is entirely centered in the silent era, such as Billie Dove, Renee Adoree, Doris Costello, Pola Negri, Langdon, Billy Haines, the Talmadge sisters, Esther Ralston, etc. etc. Al Jolson is among the stars, his turn in film the previous year marking the beginning of the end of the era captured by this album. The text is in Spanish, but it should be noted that it is far more than a simple translation of the contemporaneous actors photographic yearbook, with the biographical information occasionally getting into detail that was decidedly not issued by publicity central, albeit never venturing into the salacious and scandalous. The Orientalist color lithograph on the front cover of a beautiful woman with a vacant look while holding a bejeweled mirror and a mask of a theatrical muse is particularly attractive. The wraps have minor closed tears around the fringe, as inevitable in this instance if the book were ever shelved standing, and there is a slightly longer closed tear along upper front joint. Internally the book is clean and tight, and thus this is an exemplary copy really.
The kaiser seeks to justify himself as he engages in a revisionist account of his leadership. A few leaves are creased, or slightly crumpled, in the corner. Light soiling to the cover.

CRITIC'S FAVORITE rockers Black Rebel Motorcycle Club roar through the Bay Area this month. But don’t expect the founding members to spend time reuniting with classmates from their high school days in Lafayette.
The band’s roots go back to 1995, when bassist Robert Levon Been (his father, Michael Been, was in the rock group the Call) and guitarist Peter Hayes (pictured, left) met at Acalanes High. Both felt alienated in Acalanes’s cliquey social scene and bonded over a love of British rock bands, forming a band of their own called The Elements. In 1998, they added drummer Nick Jago (pictured, right) and renamed the band Black Rebel Motorcycle Club—a reference to the Marlon Brando biker gang in the 1953 classic movie, The Wild One. They’ve gone full-throttle ever since.
The group’s first three albums and their intense live shows sparked a following, particularly in the United Kingdom, where they just wrapped an arena tour with The Killers. The band’s sound has drawn comparisons to icons like the Doors and Exile on Main Street–era Rolling Stones, as well as cult favorites like Joy Division and the Jesus and Mary Chain.
This month, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club releases its fourth album, Baby 81, and headlines at the Fillmore in San Francisco on May 9. For information, go to www.blackrebelmotorcycleclub.com .

1 King Darius then issued an order, and they searched in the archives stored in the treasury at Babylon.
4 with three courses of large stones and one of timbers. The costs are to be paid by the royal treasury.
5 Also, the gold and silver articles of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took from the temple in Jerusalem and brought to Babylon, are to be returned to their places in the temple in Jerusalem; they are to be deposited in the house of God.
6 Now then, Tattenai, governor of Trans-Euphrates, and Shethar-Bozenai and you, their fellow officials of that province, stay away from there.
7 Do not interfere with the work on this temple of God. Let the governor of the Jews and the Jewish elders rebuild this house of God on its site.
8 Moreover, I hereby decree what you are to do for these elders of the Jews in the construction of this house of God: The expenses of these men are to be fully paid out of the royal treasury, from the revenues of Trans-Euphrates, so that the work will not stop.
10 so that they may offer sacrifices pleasing to the God of heaven and pray for the well-being of the king and his sons.
11 Furthermore, I decree that if anyone changes this edict, a beam is to be pulled from his house and he is to be lifted up and impaled on it. And for this crime his house is to be made a pile of rubble.
16 Then the people of Israel–the priests, the Levites and the rest of the exiles–celebrated the dedication of the house of God with joy.
17 For the dedication of this house of God they offered a hundred bulls, two hundred rams, four hundred male lambs and, as a sin offering for all Israel, twelve male goats, one for each of the tribes of Israel.
20 The priests and Levites had purified themselves and were all ceremonially clean. The Levites slaughtered the Passover lamb for all the exiles, for their brothers the priests and for themselves.
22 For seven days they celebrated with joy the Feast of Unleavened Bread, because the LORD had filled them with joy by changing the attitude of the king of Assyria, so that he assisted them in the work on the house of God, the God of Israel.

Discussion in 'General Discussion' started by fishphreak_4, Aug 4, 2005.
I currently don't have fish, but while I'm waiting for my tank to cycle so I can have fish, I'll tell you the names of the "old" fish I've had.
I'll tell you the names of my platies, bettas, and cory cats once I get them...which I hope is SOON! fishphreak_4, I love your fish picture! (totally random ) I'm done now.
Love all the names...... I know my little boy will one day name all our fish, but he's only 1.5yrs old, so for now I get to! My two black skirt tetras are named Sambo (the big one) and Rambo (the little one).
wow joe, those sure are creative names you got there. i wish i had a pearl danio. i guess not many people name their fish, because i only have 9 replies. now i feel like some weirdo for naming every fish i get. :-[ oh well. but i did get a new pleco. his name is Tiny Bubbles, because before i feed him he blows tiny bubbles. it's kinda funny.
I've only named a few of the fish I've had. I tend to only name my favorites.
My old (and massive) oranda goldfish I named Maximus.
And my favorite, favorite fish is a red turqoise discus named Squishy-Mo, but we all call him Squishy.
I stopped naming my fish. Each time I do, that fish dies. Now they're nameless but alive!
I didnt name my tetras only one which had lasted from my previous school so I named him Little Trooper.
well, to tell the truth, its really hard to tell my fish apart, but all my tetras are different sizes because i have been feeding them different foods until i put them all in the same tank, so some are fat and others are small. Asparagus actually eats asparagus when i put a little bit in. it doesn't hurt or poison him. actually, i think it makes him healthier! he is bigger than the others.
I'll keep adding to the list as I stock up my tank.

A University of Missouri professor and scholar of presidential debates says neither President Obama or Governor Mitt Romney dominated their first debate, nor clinched the election. MU professor Mitchell McKinney says Mitt Romney and President Obama’s first debate went as first debates typically go. Neither candidate appeared completely poised and neither delivered any devastating messages … or mistakes. He says the next debate in two weeks should reveal more about both of them.
He points to previous first-debate winners Walter Mondale, Al Gore, John Kerry and Bob Dole. Sitting presidents can often be less prepared than their opponents, because, as he puts it, they’re busy running the country.
McKinney says Obama failed to respond to a number of direct Romney attacks, such as Obama’s energy policy or his inability to reduce the federal deficit … and he says Obama also seemed to pass on an opportunity to take on Mitt Romney over entitlements or to point out Romney’s 47 percent remark.
Also, McKinney says, presidents are often used to being in a commanding position behind the podium and have become unfamiliar with having some as their equal — candidate to candidate — share the podium with them.
As to whether the debates do cause undecided voters to make a choice, McKinney says he doesn’t believe in truly undecided voters. He says debates are aimed at winning over those who are what he calls weak supporters. Either way, he says, the debates won’t determine who wins in November.
He says next Thursday’s vice presidential debate should prove interesting … and notes that four years ago, the Biden-Palin debate got more viewers than the presidential debate for the first time ever.

CLAREMONT, California – The reigning West Region Freshman of the year began his sophomore campaign by going 2-for-3 with a home run, but the Puget Sound baseball team lost its season opener at Pomona-Pitzer, 14-4, Friday afternoon.
Puget Sound second baseman Kyle Strash was an All-Northwest Conference First Team selection, NWC Freshman of the Year, and D3baseball.com West Region Rookie of the Year in 2018. He began 2019 right where he left off.

The Loggers also put up one run in each the fourth, fifth, and ninth innings. Tyler Brazelton also went 2-for-3 for Puget Sound, and he crossed home plate following an RBI fielder's choice hit by Jack Gries in the fifth inning.
Nine different Loggers knocked a base hit as Puget Sound matched Pomona-Pitzer's 11 hits for the game.
Puget Sound remains in California for a doubleheader at Occidental Saturday, Feb. 9, starting at 11 a.m.

THE LABOUR Ministry’s expectations that firms will hire long-term unemployed people thanks to payroll taxes relief has not materialised in first nine months since the law kicked in.
The firm which gives a work to person who has been registered in the Labour Office for at least one year may apply for payroll taxes relief paying 1.05 percent of his or her gross income instead of 35.2 percent. Just 2,500 firms have used this possibility in nine months hiring almost 6,000 people, Sme daily wrote.
The government expected that around 15,000 long-term unemployed will get job in the first year.
“It is not going to happened for sure,” head of The Federation of Employers’ Unions (AZZZ) Rastislav Machunka said, as quoted by Sme, adding that he stills does not consider 6,000 hired people as a failure.
Moreover, besides payroll tax relief, firms have tapping subsidies meant to encourage the hiring of young people, which has led to the creation of 12,000 jobs. The result of lower payroll taxes project should be evaluated after at least one year of its effectiveness, according to Labour Ministry spokesman Michal Stuška.

VEVO has breathed new life into what seemed like a dying business: music videos.
It was created almost exactly two years ago by a pair of record companies -- Universal and Sony -- who wanted to make music videos more of a business.
At the time, music videos (including lots of pirated copies) were spread through countless distributors, and the labels and artists had no easy way to track and monetize them.
The company launched with a distribution deal with YouTube, but VEVO gets first run at selling ads for its content that runs on YouTube. It's also distributed elsewhere, including most recently through Microsoft's Xbox Live service.
Since launch, VEVO has gone on to become the most popular music related Web site, and number three video site (behind YouTube and Facebook) with almost 57 million monthly unique viewers who spend an average of more than an hour at the site.
It has also paid out more than $100 million in royalties to the artists and other content owners who distribute videos through the site.
We caught up with VEVO CEO Rio Caraeff to talk about the future of the company, and music video online.
VEVO is on track to be profitable in the first half of next year, but probably won't be spun off as an independent public company.
Between 70% and 75% of VEVO's volume comes through YouTube.
More long-form content and original programming. "You can't go to a fashion show without music. You can't go to a restaurant without music. You can't go to a sporting event without music. There's a rich mine of narrative and stories that you can tell within there. So we're staying true to music but we're expanding our programming beyond performance based music videos and into other types of programming."
Don't look for a dedicated VEVO channel on cable TV (like MTV). "We're not interested in buying an old cable channel and flipping it into something else. I don't think that's the best approach but I do think that we will be on television. We will be there through partnerships with traditional incumbents who are in the business of operating networks today and we will be there through partnerships with companies who are more disruptive and focused on the future."
It's free today, but premium content is coming. "I think it's healthy for all businesses to have multiple business models and if all your eggs are in one basket, that's ultimately not a smart move. So i do think you'll see us experience with multiple models in the future but we're being careful to do it right and not to try to charge people for things they've never had to pay for before."
Business Insider: What do you think of the big YouTube redesign Google announced last week, which makes it more like TV with "channels"? Will you guys be a channel there?
At any moment in time in North America, between 70% and 75% of our streaming volume is rooted in VEVO on YouTube. We applaud the direction that they're headed in, their evolution towards a premium channel platform. And we think ultimately that's going to help drive up the value of the audience that loves music and premium videos from the eye of the brand marketer and the advertiser. So from a business perspective, we think that their move is going to create a better discovery experience for the consumer without taking away really anything.
BI: Are you guys going to be one of the channels?
RC: Our content is going to stay on YouTube of course, and the method with which we program it under a variety of channels is still being discussed. So right now, if you go to their new site and you go to the music channels area, many of the channels are artist-driven channels, which are all VEVO channels, so Eminem, Lady Gaga, things like that. How we package that in an aggregate sense, under a VEVO brand, or how we focus on live events and original programming and all of those type of things, we're still negotiating and discussing with them.
BI: How do you decide which musical artists are VEVO? Do you run it like a label?
RC: Our emphasis is on premium and quality. We don't really make decisions about which artists are on VEVO, what we do is we filter through our distributors...I mainly mean our licensors.
So, for example, we take all the videos and the artists that come to us through Universal Music, or come to us through Sony Music Group, or come to us through EMI, or any number of independent labels and distributors.
But we're not trying to have all artists in the world. We're not trying to be a place for any band to upload anything. We think that place exists, and it's called YouTube. We're not trying to basically be all things to all people. Our message to the brand community is that our content is premium, our audience is valuable, and in order to maintain that, we're not going into the user generated video space, or the amateur band space.
BI: I noticed that you did not mention Warner.
RC: No actually we don't have a deal with Warner Music Group. They're the only major label we don't have a deal with yet. We believe we distribute and represent about 85% of the popular and premium music video programming out there, but we don't have 100% yet.
BI: There have been reports recently that you're getting close to signing a deal with MTV. Anything to say there?
RC: I don't really. We are trying to figure out how we can work productively and positively with MTV, to distribute our programming and I think, I can definitely confirm we're in discussions with them but we don't have anything to announce yet.
BI: You sell all the ads against VEVO videos. That seems like it might bring you into conflict with Google, who is probably your biggest distributor and has some pretty big ambitions for turning YouTube and video into a big ad revenue opportunity.
RC: Well I don't think the world is that black and white, where they have to sell everything. In the media world, if you're a television network, a percentage of your inventory is being sold by your distributor, by Comcast, and some percentage of it is being sold by your own sales force, and then there's local versus national, a lot of different ways the audience is segmented.
Our relationship with YouTube, we control 100% of the premium video inventory around our content, and what that means is we have the exclusive rights to represent that audience to advertisers at a premium rate, and our ad servers are integrated into every watch page and we're the first call for the ad campaign. If we don't have a campaign to deliver for whatever reason, we back fill with YouTube AdSense and AdSense for Video.
So they do sell our audience on a run of network basis, but they don't sell a Lady Gaga video premiere, or they don't sell a specific VEVO collection of content to advertisers. Our sales force does that.
We believe that while they have a tremendous sales force and are very successful, they're not focused on music and they're not focused on premium content and so we believe that there's — maybe the right analogy is special forces with the ground troops. You have a lot of people who are covering a lot of ground and then you have some small quantity of people who are very specialized and much more focused and don't have to worry about selling everything. I don't have to sell financial products, I don't have to sell movie products, and all kinds of email products. When you're selling all things to all people, inherently you're not as focused.
BI: You're the #1 music site. Has that translated into a profitable business?
RC: We're on track for profitability in the first half of next year. We have been investing a lot of our money internationally, in terms of growing our business outside of North America and the UK.
We have invested over $100 million in less then two years in content — or to put it another way, paid out $100 million in royalties to the content industry. So in less then two years, we believe we've generated more revenue around this type of programming then any other company has in a similar period of time, or even a much longer period of time.
We're in this to build a long term profitable independent business and we believe that we can make the audience that loves music worldwide as valuable as the audience that loves the Super Bowl or the World Cup, or the audience that loves premium television programming. We believe music can build audiences at the scale of billions of people.
BI: You were founded as a partnership between Universal and Sony. Any chance of spinning out as an independent company?
RC: It's not our intention to do that, but again, we're only two years old.
We're evolving our experience to be more suited to a different environment. So if you're in your living room you may want to lean forward and watch something on demand and you may also want to lean back and have the latest stuff always playing that's personalized from your friends on Facebook, for example. All of those different tweaks are coming very shortly.
The last objective, we're very focused on original programming and growing beyond the music video. So we're not abandoning music but we're thinking about what stories can you tell that are interesting, around music and food, music and fashion, music and style, music and games, music and sports, these types of things. We believe music is a pipeline to the soul and it's the connective tissue for everything that people do in life.
You can't go to a fashion show without music. You can't go to a restaurant without music. You can't go to a sporting event without music. There's a rich mine of narrative and stories that you can tell within there. So we're staying true to music but we're expanding our programming beyond performance based music videos and into other types of programming.
Most people don't know we've produced more then 200 episodes of VEVO original programming in less then two years but most of that is performance-based. Things with Maroon 5 and other bands, and those are great, but really only interesting if you love that band. We're trying to expand the audience and to make it interesting even if you've never heard of the band and you don't know the band but you're interested in fashion you're interested in food.
I use the example, if you know Anthony Bordain's "No Reservations" show, is it a food show about travel, is it a travel show about food? You know it's both. And there are stories that you can tell that mine both areas. So that's the direction we're heading with our programming.
BI: It sounds very similar to the evolution that MTV went through 20 years ago. They started out with a pure music channel with some performance and now they have very little of that.Would you ever consider creating a cable television network?
RC: We're open to all manners of things. We will be on the television through IP (Internet protocol) and we are open to getting onto the TV in a traditional legacy manner, as well as an all IP approach.
I can tell you what we're not interested in. We're not interested in buying a distressed cable asset. We're not interested in buying an old cable channel and flipping it into something else. I don't think that's the best approach but I do think that we will be on television. We will be there through partnerships with traditional incumbents who are in the business of operating networks today and we will be there through partnerships with companies who are more disruptive and focused on the future.
We have no legacy issues. We have no politics or complications of what we can or can't do. Our parent companies and our owners are not beholden to anybody. There so we can work with the Comcasts and the Verizons and we can work with anybody else outside of the ecosystem. We're on Boxee with an app, we're on Google TV, we'll be on Xbox but you know, we're also in discussions with Comcast and others about how to bring our long form, our programming and our on-demand content to their future products as well.
BI: You guys have found a lot of success with a pure advertising, free, model. When you look at digital recorded music without the video component, it seems that everybody is focusing on a pay per download or a subscription model. Do you think an ad supported format can work for music without video?
RC: Clearly history shows it's challenging to build a pure ad business on an audio only experience, with the exception being radio.
If you're talking about an on demand interactive audio listening experience with a pure advertising model, I think that's very challenging to do from an economic perspective. If you're talking about a Pandora-like experience, an audio and radio experience, I think it's very possible to do that.
With video, I think it's different because the economics of video advertising are very different then the economics of audio advertising. And video is not the same as listening to audio when you're in the gym or in the car. Video is a more engaging, focused experience then a passive listening experience. We chose video and we chose advertising for very specific reasons because we believe it scaled well and we could generate revenue and returns for our rights-holders.
BI: Would you guys ever consider some sort of subscription or some sort of pay tier for premium content?
RC: I think it's healthy for all businesses to have multiple business models and if all your eggs are in one basket, that's ultimately not a smart move. So i do think you'll see us experience with multiple models in the future but we're being careful to do it right and not to try to charge people for things they've never had to pay for before.
We always will have a large audience business that's free to consumers but it's not in our long term best interests to only have one business model.

I agree with many of your points and am curious what you think the better combination is. Another question may be why would McDonalds/Coinstar want to sell?
Here is one potential buyer: PayPal/Ebay. The purpose would be to showcase mobile payments.
You have this backwards.. Redbox should buy blockbuster.. convert all those Blockbuster retail outlets into Redbox lounges by installing like 10 networked Redbox kiosks inside each to keep offering the full blockbuster selection and just doing away with the staff.. put in a sofa and a widescreen so folks could watch trailers at their leisure….. then in phase 2.. Redbox sells off all that commerial real estate wtih one requirement.. Redbox can maintain at least one kiosk at that site forever..
Look at you’ll….Your wanting to take away more jobs from Americans and give more to the already rich corporations! you people make me sick!
Don’t make a deal with the devil, Redbox.
Well, I just started using Redbox a few weeks ago after seeing it in Wal-Mart and hearing friends sing its praises for over a month. I decided to give it a try – and I love it! Now I’ve got more friends started using it too!
See, I used to work for Blockbuster and it was during that transitional time when they got rid of “late fees” and started Blockbuster Online and all that. I remember the first day I had to sort out all the returned-by-mail movies and get new ones ready to be shipped out. Blockbuster has definitely TRIED to keep up with progress. I’ve even had their “Rewards” program for the last 2 years and got more than my share of free movies every month (without buying anything more than the $10 Rewards card – I learned a few tricks of the trade).
But with all that, I can just say that Blockbuster is going down. Their prices are sky high. Their selection is still the best (for non-online vendors), but you can buy an old movie off eBay for the same price you’d rent one there.
I agree with what someone else said, Blockbuster shouldn’t be able to afford Redbox. Redbox is just so much better. If Blockbuster DID manage to buy Redbox, they’d probably jack up the rental prices.
The idea of Redbox buying Blockbuster and converting all the Blockbuster stores into Redbox lounges really isn’t a bad idea. That’s the only thing Redbox lacks – a decent selection of older titles. For probably a small rental price (or more crowding of current locations), they can have specialized Redbox kiosks, like “Classics” (meaning all good older movies, not just movies from the 50s), “Sci-Fi”, “Action”, whatever. They still wouldn’t have to pay employees (beyond the basics), but they’d be able to further eat into Blockbuster’s customer base that way and gain more loyalty from their own customer base.
The lounge idea sounds great. You still could have the lounge managed by and employee or two (one during slow times, two at peak). They could be Movie Experts or something along the lines of the Genius from the Apple Store. Besides monitoring the kiosks, they could be there to suggest films. They also could sell the extras like sodas, candy, chips, etc.
The idea of having kiosks for new releases, comedies, classics, dramas, indies, foreign, documentaries, etc. is great. But, another great thing would be game kiosks (360, PS3, and Wii).
I also think that you could do a unlimited package with kiosks, where rather than pay $1/day, you simply pay the monthly fee.
One other possibilty (and McDonald’s wouldn’t like it) would be for Blockbuster to sell dinner to go (pizzas — perhaps just take n bake) inside their stores, with the kiosks in what normally would be the dining area.
Regardless, I think Blockbuster ultimately be forced to change the direction with its B&M stores. This would be one way to change their footprint.
Redbox doesn’t need blockbuster to grow their business. Their kiosks are better business model than any traditional video store. What Readbox needs is securing strategic locations where traffic is stopping, like airports, hospitals, gas stations, places outside all the hotels and motels, any places where there are people waiting for unrelated services and having time to kill.
NO, NO, NO…it would be a tragedy to sell, in my opinion. I agree with Mikey above…we like you just the way you are!
nooooooooooooooo REDBOX it’s just fine the way it is, i try blockbuster before and i didn’t like it at all, in the other hand i love redbox and would not change it for nothing!!! Redbox is just so much better.
Please listen up folks…………NO! No Way! No Way in Hell !!! Should Redbox sell………………..just keep improving what you already have to offer and forget Blockbuster, unless Redbox has a desire to purchase Blockbuster/Netflex to enlarge Redbox’s service/business. For now we love you Redbox just the way you are……..
I say keep the red box and keep teaming up with grocery stores, McDonalds, and wal-mart to house them….not block busters.
The only contract I would take out with blockbusters, if I were red box, would be one to house and possibly fill the machines…I wouldn’t let blockbuster buy them, but you could team up under contract for blockbuster staff to fill them and even have one at blockbusters for customer convenience, then give blockbusters a kickback on % of sales….
NO Blockbuster shouldn’t touch Red Box. Maybe Red Box could do online renting of older movies and keep the Red Box ease of use for the newer movies.
If a big company like them gets hold of this it may morph into something UGLY.
Blockbuster won’t buy redbox, they’re currently offering $1 billion for circuit city.
Leave Redbox alone; it works great. Why turn something good over to a company that is doing so poorly?
leave the redbox alone. blockbuster will raise the prices.
I don’t think it will be a reality because from what I underestand, Redbox pretty much breaks even on the video rental end. Their main income comes from leasing the kiosks to retail stores, who uses them as traffic generators. McDonald’s gets two visits for each rental transaction — one to rent the movie, another to return it. That’s TWO chances to sell you a Coke, Coffee, or even bring home dinner.
Someone suggested putting Redbox’s in airports, hotels, etc. That wouldn’t fit their busiess model, as you are already going to be at the airport anyway — having a Redbox there doesn’t lure you to the airport vs. the train station or driving your own vehicle.
Second, having a rental lounge staffed with employees would not work – employees could dispense videos from racks much more inexpensively than costly machines, so you’re back to a plain ol’ retail locaction.
McDonald’s would be very unlikely–at least while there are Redbox’s inside of McDonald’s stores–to allow them to sell drinks, chips, etc, as that would compete with their food business, and if you still had the ability to rent/return anywhere, McDs would be losing traffic generation benefits, while redbox would be competing with them in food sales. McDonald’s at one time saw retailers that sold microwave ovens as competitors, as it was a means for people to get hot food fast, vs. running down the street to the golden arches.
Don’t forget, that most of Redbox’s founders are former McDonald’s executives — While they owe no allegience to McDonald’s, there are undoubtedly many unwritten agreements that exist. Don’t forget that McDonald’s is MUCH larger a corporation than Redbox — they could crush Redbox if they wanted to. This is a company who has been known to buy real estate and open a location and sell dime hamburgers across the street from a licencee that had fallen from favor.
I think that Blockbuster is a dinosaur. As such, it should go the way of dinosaurs. Part of my feeling stems from Blockbuster’s unfriendly treatment of Director’s in the way it arbitrarily edited movies without consent. But also it charges way too much for rentals when there are so many better options such as Redbox and Netflix.
Now Blockbuster wants to buy Circuit City and Redbox? I think Redbox can do better and so can Circuit City. Perhaps they should get together and buy Blockbuster?
if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! i’m very pleased with red box. there are enough movies and the price is right. if blockbuster puts there fingers in the pie; forget about the price and convenience. no to blockbuster!
the idea of having 2 redbox at a location is great.
i would like to see more old clasics..gone with the wind,humphry bogart,jimmy cagney the 30 and 40 movies like tntetc.
I actually think combining an electronics retailer and Circuit City might not be a bad move. Circuit City is in serious need of restructuring, as it really can’t compete with Best Buy.
I really don’t think BBI will try and ruin the convenience of Redbox. Several years ago, BBI purchased an online DVD store based in Phoenix. They actually improved on that company’s offering and came up with a viable competitor to Netflix.
At this point, BBI could buy DVDPlay, The New Release, or any of the other kiosk businesses OR buy Redbox OR start their own.
By getting into home electronics, Blockbuster can cross market DVD/Blu-Ray players for DVD rentals, consoles for game rentals, its STB for Movielink, portable players for Movielink, and televisions to bring it all together. It could put Blockbuster video stores directly into existing Circuit City stores — which would put it a step ahead of Best Buy. Or, it could put Blockbuster-branded kiosks into Circuit City. The Blockbuster stores could tap Circuit City’s inventory for its own stores. The possibilities are limitless.
Oh, and a rental from BBI is cheaper than a rental from Comcast OnDemand … by about 50 cents. Plus, I get 9 (2+7) to 14 days (7+7) to return the movie. Simple as that. Plus, I like to use BBI to acquire hard to find films.
On the surface Redbox is cheaper. $1/night, but I have had my latest rentals since last Tuesday. Guess what? I could have rented the movies for less at Blockbuster.
Guess what? You could have taken them back a lot earlier too…..HELLO!!
NO. i had more trouble with blockbuster and none with you. don’t ruin a good thing. PLEASE!
Please!!!!!!! NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All they would do is jack the price up. Don’t mess with this great thing!!!!!!!
It would be a shame to mess up a good thing. There are a lot of people on limited budgets and REDBOX has been a welcome breath of fresh air. To sell to blockbuster would mean the end of a very good thing, because they would raise prices. The old saying “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” surely applies here.
Please do not sell out to Blockbuster! I’m barely able to make ends meet on a limited income and if it weren’t for Redbox, I wouldn’t be able to rent DVDs at all. With Redbox, I am able to rent a different movie each week for LESS than one single rental from Blockbuster. Four movies for less than the price of one…? It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure that out!
As this country moves further into a recession, every penny counts. Redbox is and will be a godsend for those feeling the financial crunch. Blockbuster executives are well aware they may be out of a job once the recession in “full bloom” so trying to corner the market by having a monopoly is in “their” best interest, not the public’s.
Do not sell out to the “big guys”! Keep Redbox the way it was intended: friendly, affordable and fun!
I feel that they are both different places. Blockbuster has tons of copies of a movie while redbox has only one or two. Sometimes it is hard to get a new movie from redbox because they dont have it. I think it should remain the way it is but redbox should put more machines in even more places.
#1: User goes onto Redbox website (or maybe kiosk-based selection) to select a movie they want to watch which isn’t currently in stock.
#2: Redbox checks other semi-local Redbox locations to see if an existing hard copy could be shipped/brought in within a couple days.
Would not want Blockbuster to buy Redbox. Agree with comments they would just jack up prices and mess things up.
Think the ideas of a Redbox lounge with multiple kiosks or a burn on demand machine for non-stocked titles would be good ideas, but both would require big capital outlays for new equipment or buildings and staff. Living in a town with both video stores going bankrupt within a couple of weeks of each other, I really appreciate the RedBox machines to get just the movies I want when I want them for a minimal rental charge or sometimes for free with a discount code.
No buying of redbox by blockbusters. The media mass monopoly of buying and taking over is getting ridiculously out of hand. One of the viewers is correct in stating that Redbox is friendly affordable and fun. In times of recession this is the only affordable entertainment left.
Blockbuster is a waste. Redbox should never let them buy out. 1st if it’s online renting netflix is better the movies come in about the same time when shipping. however blockbuster is only ships mon-fri netflix is mon- sat. Netflix on the 8 plan i am getting about 16 a week, on blockbuster i was on the 3 unlimited in store plan and still only getting like 5 a week. that’s something else if you have the instore you return it and the next bussiness day they will ship out. That’s not true. On the week end i would have all in and monday 1 would be shipped and tuesday 1 and wednesday 1. sometimes it was friday before they even sent out the one from the weekend. When calling and complianing all they said was sometimes after the weekend we get busy. But a whole week? come on. And if your talking about the in-store deals. On blockbusters unlimited 2 at a time 29.99 there’s one better hollywood video has 3 at a time for 14.99 just not the hot new releases or everything in the store 3 at a time for the same price as blockbuster 29.99. So again blockbuster has been beaten again. with blockbuster i got more cracked dvd in the mail then with netflix and with the store i have gotten more really bad scratched dvd then hollywood video. So in every part of the dvd business blockbuster is a waste of time, there is better and cheaper where ever you look. Even with the instore rewards program which is none like anyone i have found yet, theres still problems. The one free every month you have to have a transaction to get the free one, so buy something. Rent 5 get one well max 2 a month, there’s no trick there. And once you mon, tues, and wed rent one get one, no trick here. each rental costs 4.65 or around that it’s 4.50 plus tax where I go. Ok so if you use your 10 rentals on mon-wed you get 12 after paying for 5 plus the free one which you get after getting something you will pay 46.25 for 23 dvd’s which is 2.01 per disc. Still not as good as renting from redbox. So it a nutshell STAY AWAY FROM BLOCKBUSTER. There’s someone better no mater what you want to do.

Since 1982, there has been a tendency to regulate the tourism business of the corporation. In 1988, one-third of the four companies, 51% of whom have made their travel plans through a single business planning agency. Two major advantages of agency consolidation include negotiations on budgeting for accounting and TA and future travel discounts.
The main technological advances in this area are the introduction of satellite ticket printers (STPs). Using the STP Travel Agency you can add all offices to a single home office and send all necessary tickets to anywhere by any telegraph. In this regard, the airline directly sends tickets directly to the site and pays for the shipping cost.
STPs for London districts are a blessing. T & E budget in London is $ 15 million and distributed equally between the two cities in Eldersburg, New York and New York. Each place purchases the same number of tickets, so it is a prerequisite for the purchase of tickets from their own agencies. STP has two points: Baltimore Agency. Tickets are available at every office, and you can pay up to $ 15 a year to buy a $ 500 ticket each year.
Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, New York, and Detroit will pay $ 20 million annually to the T & E budget. Since 1994, Travel Guide has been reviewed by New Travel Management in New York and STP has been established in each of these five locations. Conde Nast can instantly buy new tickets and change travel plans such as consulting and productivity increase.
The real advantage is that the travel agency has a travel agency and therefore has no price for the company. However, STP remains a viable option for large ticket buyers. Shoen: “STPs are more than $ 500,000 a year for everywhere you buy.
Since the airline has approximately 43% of all T & E expenditures, funds from various sources have been increased. For example, corporations have the potential to collect and analyze their travel destinations, such as commission fees, mandatory payments, transactional payments, agency contracts and other discounts for airline tickets and airlines.
Although the largest carriers in the United States have publicly stated that they do not offer corporate tariffs, American Express business research has dropped 38 percent of American companies or denied existing airlines. The existence and mechanisms of these structures depend on the carrier.
Western Area Manager of United Airlines, Frank Kent, said: “Together, the corporation participates in corporate discounting, for example, the company does not buy it, but does not understand it at a certain price.
Prosecutors in New Jersey are examining whether the airline set up a non-stop flight route to curry favor with one of Christie's most trusted confidants, former Port Authority Chairman David Samson, who led the agency that oversees the region's airports.

Residents can still drop off their garbage, but should keep their recycling at home as a strike by garbage truck drivers and mechanics heads into its second week.
"We cant do all the recycling but were doing the garbage and the critical things that make it safe for the health of humans and bears," said Carneys Waste Systems owner Owen Carney while taking a break from driving a garbage truck Wednesday.
Strike action began last week and, despite all-day mediation in Vancouver Tuesday, Carneys and their striking employees are still at odds.
"We did not find a deal at the end of the day," said Don Swerdan, the members representative for the Operating Engineers Local 115.
He said roughly 70 per cent of the 30 employees voted against Carneys offer.
"(The latest offer) still has not addressed the integral issues that we say have to be addressed and the guys are resolute in their ideals," said Swerdan.
Rotating strike action began last Thursday (Oct. 27) in the Whistler area. When approached that day none of the dozen or so workers standing outside the Whistler landfill would comment.
However, employees were at work in Squamish and Pemberton.
The following day the job action escalated to include all operations in the corridor. Thats when the union was given 72-hour lock out notice. Swerdan said employees have been locked out since 11:30 a.m. Monday.
Carneys spokesperson Denise Imbeau said: "We have not locked out our employees."
Management is picking up the slack in the meantime, working 14-hour days, seven days a week.
"Everybodys pitching in," said Carney.
The strike is affecting more than just the workers and Carneys. Municipal officials and the RCMP are worried that overflowing recycling containers may attract wandering bears.
"We really (want) to encourage people to be extra diligent at this time of the year with the bears," said Brian Barnett, general manager of engineering and public works.
On Wednesday RCMP spokesperson Devon Jones said officers were staying vigilant for any extra bears due to the strike action.
"Police and bylaw are certainly keeping an eye open," he said. "Were just making sure there isnt a problem that does arise from this strike."
He has reviewed the police files and at this point there doesnt appear to be any increase in bear activity due to the garbage strike.
"I havent seen an increase in bear calls coming in so I think things are running as smoothly as they can," he said.
The employees have been without a contract since May.

Located 10km from Mapusa, the red-laterite bastion, was built by the Portuguese in 1617 on the site of an earlier Muslim structure. Intended as a border watchpost, it fell to various Hindu raiders during the 17th century, before finally being deserted by the Portuguese in 1892.
Today, the fortress lies in ruins, although you can still see the heads of two tunnels that formerly provided supply routes for besieged defenders, as well as a scattering of Muslim tombstones on the southern slopes of the hill, believed to be relics of pre-colonial days. However, the main incentive to climb up here are the splendid views of nearby Anjuna and Vagator beaches.
Though Bardez in North Goa was ceded to the Portuguese in 1543, the security of !he territory continued to be threatened by several enemies- the Bahamani kings from the north, Maratha horsemen from the east and the local chieftains in the area itself. As a result, the Portuguese built a series of fortifications including the one in Chapora. It was constructed in 1617 only five years after work began on Fort Aguada. Frequent buses ply from Mapusa to Anjuna and Vagator with stopover near the fort.
In 1684, the Portuguese troops surrendered to the courageous Maratha ruler, Sambhaji. But the locals were not too pleased with this.They had a number of conflicts with the Marathas and finally in 1717, the Marathas withdrew their force. The Portuguese then took over again and rebuilt the fort. The new structure of the fort was equipped with underground tunnels that ensured a safe getaway in case of an emergency.
But this glory was not to remain. Yet again in 1739 the Marathas captured the Chapora fort. However, two years later, in 1741, the Portuguese regained the fort when the northern taluka of Pednem was handed over to them.
In 1892, the Portuguese completely abandoned the fort. What remains today are only ruins but one does manage to see the heads of the escape tunnels built by the Portuguese. Though, there isn't much to see, the history lingers on.

Air pollution is an environmental problem. There is no doubt that the rapid increase in the population and development in the urban, industrial and social sectors have led to an increase in pollution rates, especially air pollution, due to the large the number of vehicles and the expansion of construction in industrial facilities.
Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research has carried out many studies and research projects to monitor and evaluate air pollution in factories, hospitals and oilfields that are associated with urban growth, which increase pressure on available resources such as electricity and water and exacerbate sand and dust storms.
In 2015, the director general of Kuwait Municipality revealed that the rate of solid waste in Kuwait reached 4,000 tons per day, which is very high, and makes Kuwait one of the top countries in the world in this domain and not only in the Gulf region. In July 2018, Kuwait recorded the highest air pollution score of 301 on the air quality index AQi, which measures the level of air pollution. Anything above 300 is considered to be hazardous with serious health effects. Some pollutants have increased due to the dust, gases and vapors.
I believe this topic is extremely important because it has an impact on the health of people and creates suspicions of the spread of diseases related to the respiratory system and cancer. The director of the Kuwait Cancer Center said in a press release in Feb 2018 that cancer is the second largest cause of death in Kuwait. I think the government’s continued denials and what newspapers and environment groups have mentioned through the years has created confusion with no clear answers.
We need to know the truth because inhaling this polluted air is causing a dysfunction in the performance of the body and leads to diseases. I believe that in order to protect the health of people, it is necessary to issue a special legislation for clean air, which will determine air quality standards and the percentage of pollutants allowed from each source, along with the development of a system to measure these elements to support air pollution research and organizing programs and awareness campaigns on pollution to raise awareness among the public.
Also, I think we need to conduct a comprehensive environmental survey of traffic in terms of the number of vehicles, study the efficiency of fuel combustion and the existence of systems to control pollution resulting from it. Also, a technical team should be readied to evaluate pollutants and the criteria for selecting air quality monitoring stations, as well as to make these data and information available to everyone and exchange information and experiences with environmental bodies in the GCC.

You transfer to a fermenter, pitch yeast, and you’re back on track making beer in traditional fashion. That’s part of what makes kettle souring so interesting and attractive – by boiling immediately after souring, you don’t risk infecting the other beers in the brewhouse, and you can make complex and sour beer in relatively short order.

Three weeks ago, we suggested the global economy was entering a significant new phase in which aggregate monetary policy would start to tighten. We saw this as a consequence of an impressive, and broad based, pickup in growth. In particular, the manufacturing sector emerging from a multi-year slump (in no small part because of commodity price stabilisation) and both consumer and business sentiment significantly improving (confirmed by this week’s Eurozone PMI). The question for investors was then whether this would derail the raging bull market for equities.
From a tactical perspective, the last fortnight has thrown up two more potential skid risks. First, the oil price falling back below USD 50 per barrel on the back of rising inventories. Second, increasing concern that the “Trump trade” may end up a damp squib.

How does the dialog play out in your mind when you consider pursuing a goal? Winning that state championship or getting promoted to brown belt?
Maybe this is a goal you can live without. Do you really need to lose that last two pounds of fat? Gain that last five pounds of muscle? Shave off those extra few seconds off of your mile split? Maybe the answer is no.
But what if it’s something that you can’t live without? What if you were addicted to the idea of what your future self could be, or absolutely captivated by the potential of having achieved something so challenging and meaningful? Would you accept anything less than your best effort? Would you be okay with letting your discipline slide? Understandably, we’ll never live “perfectly”, but the answer is definitely no. Especially in something you can control.
There’s something magical that clicks in your mind the moment a “should-have” becomes a “must-have.” The moment you realize that if you want to achieve what you truly want, you can no longer live your current life or walk on the same path that you’ve always been walking on.
Here, you’ll see two different perspectives on the same principle: committing to a goal and getting after it. One is passionate and the other is calculated, but the underlying message is the same. Make your choice and relentlessly pursue.
“What I’m telling you is, you can’t count the cost. When you want something bad, you can’t count the cost, because if you count the cost and you see how much it cost, you might quit, so you gotta go in, knowing that I don’t count the cost. I’ll do as many push ups as it takes, as many situps as it takes, as many reps as it takes, I’ll study as long as it takes, I’ll pay whatever the price is. Why? Because if I start counting the cost, I might quit, I might give up, I might surrender. Don’t count the cost. You don’t count the cost on this one!
“Dealing with the temporary frustration of not making progress is an integral part of the path towards excellence. In fact, it is essential and something that every single elite athlete has had to learn to deal with. If the pursuit of excellence was easy, everyone would do it. In fact, this impatience in dealing with frustration is the primary reason that most people fail to achieve their goals. Unreasonable expectations timewise, resulting in unncessary frustration, due to a perceived feeling of failure. Achieving the extraordinary is not a linear process.
And accept that long term results require quality long-term focus. No emotion. No drama. No beating yourself up over small bumps in the road. Learn to enjoy and appreciate the process. This is especially important because you are going to spend far more time on the actual journey than with those all too brief moments of triumph at the end.
For another perspective, read Berton Braley’s poem, “The Will to Win“.
Take action, plan the next steps, make adjustments as necessary, and, every now and then, give your body and mind enough time to heal up to return to the action with more resolve, conviction, and strength than you had before. Maybe it really is that simple. It sure as hell isn’t easy though.
When was the last time you approached something with such conviction and determination that the cost or the consequences of pursuing something didn’t matter?

A Content Management System (CMS) is a computer application that allows publishing, editing, modifying, organising, deleting and maintaining content from a central interface. The most famous open-source software programs for creating a website are WordPress and Joomla. Each of these has their own advantages and disadvantages, but which one is the best?
WordPress was released in 2003 by Matt Mullenweg. There are currently 74.6 million websites running on this platform. It`s a free platform and is best used for simple websites, such as everyday blogging and news websites. WordPress comes with a 5 min install. It has an extremely easy to use interface and this makes it easy for a new user to get started with their websites. WordPress allows users to change their site`s appearance using themes. There are more than 3,000 free themes and more than 36,000 free plugins, making WordPress very popular. WordPress has a strong community of users and you can find help on official support forums, docs, and handbooks.
• Great support – WordPress has every answer to every issue that you may encounter when using the platform.
• Speed – WordPress websites contain lots of generic codes unnecessary for every website, so the loading of the website become slower.
Joomla was created in 2005 from Mambo. There are currently 2.8 million websites run by Joomla. It`s also a free platform which supports eCommerce, social networking and more. Joomla installation may not look as quick as WordPress, but does not exceed 10 min. It is considered as more advanced than WordPress in the usage. There are less options when it comes to free customisation here; more than 1000 free themes and more than 5000 free plugins. Joomla, just like WordPress has a large community. There is a major documentation on the Joomla website, which is valuable resource for beginners.
• Extensions – Five varied category of extensions for improving the site content (plugins, components, modules, templates and languages).
• Plugins Compatibility – There may occur frustrating compatibility issues between some of the plugins.
You’vе made some good points there.

A delicious beer. Hopped with armfuls of American Chinook hops, this beer oozes citrus flavour and aroma. It has a lovely sweetnes balanced with a lingering bitter finish backed up with a late grapefruit hit.
The third in a series of beers where we give Kiama the VIP treatment. For this edition we have added a huge double dry hop of Simcoe to our core range favourite. So expect dank resinous pine and stone fruit notes alongside the usual citrus fanfare, with a moderate bitterness to boot.
Brouwerij Emmelisse’s Kees Bubberman joined us originally to make this mouth watering India Pale Ale with timed additions of Earl Grey during fermentation, heavy infused hopping and traditional cask maturing. The result is a citrus fruit aroma, smooth sleek texture, hop notes are brilliantly complimented by bergamot and a light tannic finish.
Zingy gooseberries are accompanied by a tart grapefruit hop character in this Gooseberry Sour IPA. Trolltunga is effervescent and tangy with a sharp, refreshing finish. A collaboration with Lervig Aktebryggeri, Stavanger, Norway.
Our flagship India Pale Ale brewed relentlessly hoppy since 2011, remastered for hop awesomeness in 2018.

The Apostle is here writing to the congregation of which he is so proud that he wants to boast about them. It seems that they were having nothing but trouble and persecution. Paul was in distress that they should abandon their faith and return to their pre-Christian days. This would cause heart break for him but weaken and destroy those for whom Christ died. It is worthy of note though that the Thessalonian congregation was standing firm against their persecutors and were in fact reaching out in a positive, decisive manner.
In this little prayer he wants God to bless every good purpose of the church and every act prompted by their faith. We look at this church and realise that they had plans; plans to be stronger in faith, deeper in devotion, plans that would lead those in Christ to forge ahead with every fibre of their bodies. Their vision was increased as they saw opportunities for service. Their leaving was retuned to hear the cries of those lost in sin. Their hands were more urgent in helping those around them. Every part of them was given to Jesus. Here was motivation and inspiration.
But what of us? Not just as individuals but as churches, congregations of men and women of faith. Are we content with the same old, same old? The same old hymns, though we love them, the same preaching though we may love the preacher. But what of the same old pans, the same old cracked cups, the same old activities. Are they leading others to the cross? Or are they barriers of helplessness and despondency? Are our young people’s classes thriving or shrinking? Are our offerings joyfully given and sufficient? Is it so easy to slip into complacency? Let us look again at our good purposes and acts of faith so that the church will shine bright in our neighbourhoods; a light that leads to Heaven above.
Courage is usually seen in the face of some horror, demonstrated by a fireman, a soldier, something out of the ordinary when danger rises up like a wall for which super-human strength is needed.
Encouragement is something received or given for those times when we as ordinary people have to face spiritual or physical problems. Why does Christianity have to be so difficult? Why can’t we be instantly transformed into the being that we want to be; able to fight sin and failure? Having the ability to say and do what we want so that we can radiate blessings like some sort of stardust. We try and fail and trying again often leads us to even more failures.
In this interjected prayer Paul asks that Jesus will give the Thessalonian brethren eternal encouragement, not just an occasional boost but be the permanent day to day nature of the believer. Life does not change. The Christian is still marginalised, mocked and abused. But what is inside the Christian is stronger than any soldier or warrior can develop - Eternal encouragement providing a good hope strengthening the hearts, minds and intellect of every believer in Jesus.
This eternal encouragement is bread for the spiritually hungry. It is the iron in the blood of the soldier of God. We have hope, no soft soap dream but an absolute assurance which nothing can make a dent in let alone destroy.
Eternal encouragement goes on day and night, year after year and when life comes to its close goes on into the Heavenly realms. Our God is on our side. We have one God and He is ours. His love is mine with total ownership. All that he has belongs to us. Nothing is missing, nothing, nothing, nothing at all.
There is something quite tantalising about a good gossip; finding out things that we may have suspected but were not sure of. What follows is a certain air of self-respect as we chew on someone’s character. Of course we may well be right; this person or that person may be doing something illegal, immoral or just stupid, things which we would never want to be involved in. But oh how the talk is so sweet!
The reason for our own illicit thrill is that we are close to the one we have been talking about. We have failed to keep ourselves busy and have become busybodies.
What is it we want out of life? To be able to accomplish something, to be good at something, to realise something. We all have to fill in the something. Something at home, at work, in life. No one wants to end their days being known as accomplishing nothing. But this is what happens when we are not busy and become busybodies. Talents lie hidden, skills are ignored, all the dreams we had for ourselves end up drifting away to die like a cloud in the sky. Today has the same 24 hours, how will we use them?
