An easy-to-grow sweet pepper, producing plenty of large, delicious, top quality fruits that ripen from green to bright yellow. Tender & sweet - more for salads and uncooked food. Please note: There is a possibility that your plant will include a grafting clip, if it does, this is an integral part of the grafting process and that it should be left in place. As the plant grows it will naturally shrug off the clip. Supplied in a 10cm pot.
What's so good about grafted veg plants? We are revolutionising the home grown vegetable market with our range of grafted vegetable plants! Commercially the grafting method has been used for some time, but we've developed them for the home gardener, and early adopters have had extraordinary results: • Big increases in yield from larger, more vigorous plants - up to 75% more crops than a standard vegetable plant! • Earlier cropping, yet with sufficient vigour to crop well later in the season • Grow in the greenhouse or outdoors - little or no heating required • Excellent resistance to soil-borne pest and diseases - no more ring culture or grow bags - plant straight in the soil • Greater tolerance to nutritional disorders

On Receipt - Check the plants are moist and grow on in 10cm pots using a good quality potting compost. When planting, ensure that the graft is well above soil level to prevent the scion rooting into the soil which would reduce resistance to soil borne diseases. Maintaining a temperature of 16-18ºC (60-65ºF) and provide a cane support.
Growing On - Once the roots fill the pots, transfer into 30cm (12″) pots or plant in the greenhouse border 60cm (2') apart. The plants are not suitable for growing in grow bags due to the strong root system. They are vigorous plants and as the fruit start to set start feeding twice a week using a liquid tomato fertiliser. On hot sunny days damp down the pathways to increase the humidity and misting the plants with water will aid fruit setting. The plants can be grown on a sunny patio once the danger of frost has passed in early June but the best results will be obtained when grown in the greenhouse.

NEWS- Hollymedium: There grows the neighborhood
There's Target and Starbucks, but the only center in the ever-expanding Hollymead Town Center on 29N is the huge sweep of asphalt parking lot. While that may be expected in a roadside plot zoned "highway commercial," developers say the neighborhood model is coming. Just give it about 12 years.
Growth is inevitable, urban planners say. Smart growth, however, is not, and that's why Albemarle County is minding its edge nodes. That's why it took four years– "four years," stresses developer Wendell Wood– to launch Hollymead. Collectively known to sprawl-watchers as suburban "edge nodes," the clots of development creeping down 29N do have one central theme: they're everywhere and nowhere.
One solution the county has incorporated into its Comprehensive Plan is the "neighborhood model," an urban design trend that borrows from traditional town grids in an effort to reduce traffic and sprawl. Yet it remains to be seen whether Places29, the federally funded mechanism for discussion of growth in the northern corridor, will supplant a Placeless29.
A February 14 meeting between a Places29 consultant team, County officials, and the Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission presented three growth alternatives– all of which suit planners, not residents, according to Supervisor Ken Boyd, whose district includes the affected neighborhoods.
While the planners say these are just options on the table, Boyd believes that when it's time to finalize the master plan later this spring, it will be too late for residents to make changes.
From Hollymead Town Center to the proposed site of the embattled North Pointe, just beyond Proffit Road, 1.4 million square feet of commercial space is a work-in-progress.
Out on the fringes of the city where the debate sizzles over roads and retail, some are just happy for a view.
Adam Aegee works in the Hollymead Town Center Starbucks, surrounded by construction and traffic. While he isn't sure where the 270-acre North Pointe would be sited, Aegee gets his bearings by thinking of his store's plot as "Hollymead Central."
If you live in the distant Hollymead subdivision on the opposite side of 29N, however, or in one of the two sections of Forest Lakes on either side of it– one directly across from the new complex– you might wonder how it got its name.
"Hollymead as a name is especially confusing," says Supervisor Sally Thomas. "First it was an Inn, and that gave the name to the suburban development where Hollymead Elementary School is– which is now surrounded by two parts of the Forest Lakes subdivision – all that on the east side of 29N."
Wood, also developer of the Hollymead subdivision, says he chose the name for a logical reason: it's in the Hollymead vicinity. The current project is now down to two developers, Wood says: his United Land Corporation and Charles Hurt's Virginia Land Company.
Within 90 days, Wood says, construction will begin on the first of the residential units: 300 townhouses next door to Starbucks that he has named Abington Place. While a sign does say "luxury townhouses," Wood says 10 percent of the mixed-use development will be affordable units.
Assisted living facilities and numerous paths between homes and shops are planned, although the actual location of the center of the Center may never be known. Thomas says the development is intended not only to have a "center," but has also been zoned for a hotel and movie theater.
Aegee notes one benefit of the elevated site: "It's pretty." Through the window, across a parking lot half-filled with cars on a weekday afternoon, over 29N and beyond a cemetery, one can see the snow-covered mountains. "You get the sunrise every morning," he marvels.
The only pedestrians – one touted hallmark of the neighborhood concept– enjoying the view are folks hurrying between car and shop.
For decades, developers have built in homage to the automobile, in the process creating fresh fodder for planners, like the "drive to lunch" syndrome. And studies suggest that such car-friendly construction has encouraged growth somewhere else: around Americans' waistlines.
Thomas says the county expects each development "to have sidewalks, and have the developments be pedestrian oriented– which is a higher standard than simply providing sidewalks."
Asked about the sidewalks, Wood says wryly, "We don't build sidewalks until we put in the streets." He says Hollymead will eventually boast 2.5 miles of sidewalks.
No, there may never be a pedestrian entrance or sidewalk frontage along 29, but Wood says it's not fair to "start knocking a project," that's been through so many modifications.
"We couldn't have done it any other way," he says. He's sure that Route 29 will never veer from auto-dominance, anyway, and believes the answer lies in a parallel road that's already part of the $11 million package of off-site roads and other proffers the development is donating to the state.
"Not a penny of taxpayer dollars" will fund the project, he says, referring in part to the additional lanes on either side of 29. "We built it, private enterprise; we built the water lines, we built the sewer lines."
But Thomas says residents need to be vocal about walkability, especially when it comes to North Pointe, which is still in the planning stages. "Developers, by and large, resist anything that isn't totally automobile-dependent," she says. "If the politicians aren't strong in their demands for building to help pedestrians, it won't happen."
The county "can extract many conditions from developers before giving a rezoning," Thomas says, but if neighborhoods don't speak out at Places29 sessions, there's far less incentive for politicians to quash auto-centric planning.
Residents have called for walkable development. At a May 25, 2005 Places29 workshop, participants offered a number of related comments and suggestions: give us real neighborhood design and alternatives to strip malls; adjacency doesn't equal walkable development; Route 29 is not pedestrian-friendly; we need pedestrian walkways over Route 29 and from neighborhood to neighborhood; Forest Lakes needs connection with the other side of Route 29; shoppers have to have a car to use retail on Route 29.
Of course, the convenient shopping does reduce the need for lengthy drives for some, but Forest Lakes residents say that shorter drives are not all they've gotten in the bargain.
Hollymead Town Center has also given them sediment.
Later this month, residents plan to hold a meeting with the County and Department of Conservation and Recreation to discuss "the cost of cleaning up the sediment deposited in our lakes from the construction of the Hollymead Town Center," according to a petition distributed by Jim Grace of the Forest Lakes Homeowners Association.
Critics complaining of "Fairfaxing" or "Loudounizing" can take comfort from this. There are only 1.4 million square feet of commercial space here. To become an "edge city" requires 5 million square feet of commercial space.
Hollymead Town Center rises out of the mud a year ago.

AgriTalk Radio host Mike Adams criticized First Lady Michelle Obama on Wednesday for pushing forward strict school nutrition regulations while ignoring calls for more flexibility from school nutrition professionals.
"More food winding up in the garbage can just so schools can say they met the standards to be in the school lunch program, that fails the kids and it doesn't get us any closer to ending childhood obesity," Adams said on his nationally syndicated broadcast.
The House Appropriations Committee is expected this week to vote on a proposal to allow schools to opt out of the school nutrition guidelines set forth in the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010. During a White House event on school nutrition on Tuesday, Mrs. Obama called the push by House Republicans to loosen the standards "unacceptable."
The School Nutrition Association has supported efforts to reform school lunch guidelines, but has called on the Obama administration to provide more flexibility. "SNA does not want to gut the nutrition standards – we support many of the requirements. Our request for flexibility under the new standards does not come from industry or politics; it comes from thousands of school cafeteria professionals who have shown how these overly prescriptive regulations are hindering their effort to get students to eat healthy school meals," SNA President Leah Schmidt said in a released statement.
"I find it interesting that the administration does not want to listen to the school nutrition association," Adams said. "In fact, the executive director for the First Lady's 'Let's Move' campaign criticized SNA for its campaign to roll back requirements, saying that the group has a long list of industry members with representatives from groups like PepsiCo, ConAgra, General Mills and those types of businesses. Instead of trying to get SNA on board, which is to me the first group you should get on your side in this campaign, basically they are trying to discredit the School Nutrition Association, which makes no sense to me at all."
Meanwhile, Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack said in a press conference Wednesday that USDA has been providing all the flexibility that is needed, and that a full rollback of the mandate is not necessary.
"When flexibility was warranted, USDA has been willing to work with school districts and school nutrition experts to provide that flexibility," Vilsack said. "But what is not appropriate, and what is ill-advised, is to provide some sort of waiver process which would open up the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act to a reversal back in time, taking a step back instead of a step forward."

Another successful shake down for sharia. Like airport security and prayer in school, there are rules for Muslims and rules for everyone else.
via Oklahoma bankers group updates security policy on religious headwear | NewsOK.com. h/t Islamist Watch
The Oklahoma Bankers Association has tweaked its recommended "no hats, no hoods, no sunglasses" security policy at banks after an incident at a Tulsa bank last year involving a woman customer wearing a religiously mandated head scarf, or hijab, raised discrimination claims.
The Oklahoma Bankers Association clarified the voluntary initiative, designed to boost safety at banks by making it easier to identify robbers, after meeting with the American Civil Liberties Union of Oklahoma and the state chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
The meeting was prompted in October when, at a Tulsa bank, a woman wearing a hajib was told she would have to be escorted into the bank because of the policy on head-covering attire. She and groups supporting her claimed the policy was discriminatory.
The ACLU and state CAIR chapter on Thursday praised the industry group for responding to those concerns.
"We are incredibly pleased that the OBA recognizes that respecting the religious requirements of their customers and ensuring a safe and secure banking environment can go hand in hand," Ryan Kiesel, executive director of the ACLU of Oklahoma, said in a statement.
Adam Soltani, executive director of state chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, said his group met with Oklahoma Bankers Association members to explain the different types of head coverings worn by Muslim women and those of other faiths.The OBA essentially just announced to bank robbers in Oklahoma that if they wear a burka like bank robbers do in Philly, they'll have much less resistance.

After these plump up from a quick brine, and cook in their shells, they'll eat more like peel-and-eat lobster tails than plain old shrimp. Serve this alongside grilled steak, and it'll be not only a great respite from the meat's richness, but it'll give you a surf-and-turf experience, which for me was one of the most exciting things to get at a restaurant when I was little.
- Yield
- 8 servings
- Cocktail sauce:
- 2 cups ketchup
- 2 tablespoons freshly grated horseradish root (see Note)
- 2 tablespoons high-quality bottled horseradish
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce
- 2 medium shallots, peeled, and grated on a Microplane grater
- Brine:
- 8 cups water
- 1/4 cup kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 lemons
- 4 garlic cloves, peeled, and grated on a Microplane grater
- 3 cups ice
- 24 (8–12-count) unpeeled shrimp (this means shrimp that come 8 to 12 to a pound)
- 1/3 cup canola or vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- Juice of 2 lemons
- 1/4 cup minced chives
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground coarse black pepper
- 2 lemons, each cut into 4 wedges for serving
- Stir together all of the cocktail sauce ingredients in a medium bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, but preferably overnight for the flavors to develop.
- Combine all of the brine ingredients in a large bowl and stir to dissolve the salt and sugar. Cut the lemons in half, squeeze the juice into the brine, and add the whole lemons as well. Stir in the garlic, followed by the ice.
- For each of the shrimp, using a paring knife, cut along the curve of the back of the shrimp, and remove the vein, keeping the shells intact. Clip the feet off with a small pair of scissors.
- Place the shrimp in the brine and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Preheat all grates of a well-oiled charcoal or gas grill to medium.
- Remove the shrimp from the brine and lightly pat dry with paper towels.
- In a bowl, toss the shrimp in the canola oil.
- In a separate bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, and chives. Set aside.
- Place the shrimp on the grate, close the lid, and grill for 4 minutes. Flip to the second side and grill for 4 minutes.
- Remove from the grill and immediately place in the bowl with the olive oil mixture, tossing to coat. Season with salt and pepper and serve with cocktail sauce and lemon wedges on the side.
Fresh horseradish is available in many markets and is worth seeking out. If you can't find it, the sauce won't have that extra punch, but it'll still have great flavor. Use additional bottled horseradish to taste.

Art-rock heroes Radiohead return to Tampa in support of their acclaimed 2011 album "The King of Limbs."
Of course, don't expect the smash single "Creep" or even fan faves such as "Fake Plastic Trees," "Karma Police" or "Everything in its Right Place."
But if the performance is half as sonically and visually mind-blowing as the one I caught at the (then) Ford Amphitheatre in 2008 attendees should leave the Forum satisfied regardless if the setlist is bereft of the band's classics.
Details: 7:30 p.m. Feb. 29, Tampa Bay Times Forum, 401 Channelside Drive, Tampa. Tickets: $42.25 $66.50 Information: 813-287-8844 or www.ticketmaster.com.

Member States have three years from the date of its publication in the Official Journal of the EU (27 April 2016), to implement the network code on requirements for grid connection of generators (Commission Regulation 2016/631) however, there are several requirements that become applicable sooner.
These include the requirements in Title VI of the network code related to emerging technology classification. In particular, manufacturers of Type A power-generating modules may request that their power-generating module technology be classified as an emerging technology, exempting them from having to apply the requirements in the network code. They have until 17 November 2016 to submit their application to the relevant national regulatory authority.

RTC Summer Updates: Ohio Valley ConferencePosted by Brian Goodman on August 9th, 2011
With the completion of the NBA Draft and the annual coaching and transfer carousels nearing their ends, RTC is rolling out a new series, RTC Summer Updates, to give you a crash course on each Division I conference during the summer months. Our latest update comes courtesy of our Ohio Valley Conference correspondent, Catlin Bogard. You can read more of Bogard's work at OVC Ball.
Reader's Take
Summer Storylines
- Movin' On Up: Two teams will feature former assistant coaches in new roles in 2011-12, although each school took a much different path to the same decision. In March, Steve Payne was named the new head coach at Tennessee Tech for the retiring Mike Sutton. The longtime Golden Eagles assistant had coached the team previously, as Sutton was sidelined with a horrible health condition that threatened his immune system. Over at Murray State, Steve Prohm will head the Racers after an offseason that saw former head coach Billy Kennedy's name come up in at least three job searches before he eventually accepted the head coaching job at Texas A&M. The late-season coaching change didn't leave Murray without options, as former Racer and current NBA assistant Popeye Jones' name was one of many mentioned for the opening before the Racers eventually named Prohm as Kennedy's successor.
- Ten-Man Class: Morehead State lost its biggest player when Kenneth Faried graduated and was drafted by the Denver Nuggets, but coach Donnie Tyndall is cashing in on the Eagles' success last season by signing ten players for the 2011-12 season, including three juco transfers. The cupboard wasn't exactly bare for the Eagles either, with ten players scheduled to return for Tyndall, so how he slices his rotation is something well worth monitoring for any Eagles fan.
- Transition Period: Quite possibly the biggest news of the offseason will not even affect the OVC until next season. Belmont will join the conference in the 2012-13 season, leaving the Atlantic Sun after ten years of dominance. Also in 2012-13, SIU Edwardsville will become a full member of the conference, making the OVC a 12-team league. This year, the Cougars will play a full OVC regular season, but will be ineligible for postseason play as they continue their transition into Division I. How long it will stay a 12-team conference is up in the air, though. Jacksonville State is openly searching for a FCS football conference to move to, and Tennessee State was recently offered a chance to rejoin the SWAC.

This week's article addresses the mounts you can find in 5-man content, of which there are quite a few. However, please note that I haven't included special holiday mounts like the Headless Horseman's mount or the Big Love Rocket. Even though they technically drop from 5-man content, they're only available under special circumstances, so they'll pop up in a later guide.
As a note to anyone following the Mountain o' Mounts series, I'll be preempting it for two weeks to run full guides on the Noblegarden and Children's Week 2011 holidays, which begin on April 24 and May 1 respectively. We'll return to Mountain o' Mounts on May 5.

**Updated** August 2007
January 2007: There are NEW Guidelines now in place for "Inns" in the Prancing Pony. See Point #7 below.
August 2007: Added "List of Useful Links" at the bottom.
Guidelines for Role Playing in the Prancing Pony
First of all, welcome to TORC. If you are reading this then you have shown an interest in Role Playing. This guide is meant to help you begin to Role Play, to tell you the rules and give you a few tips to make your Role Playing the best it can be.
1. What is Role Playing or RP?
Role Playing is a common thing at TORC; it even has its own forums. Basically, role playing (or RPing) is a fun way to tell a story! You get to take on a persona different from your own, and create a history and a personality for your character, and then take him/her on an adventure, or to a party, or all sorts of other kinds of things. But the thing is, you very rarely know where the story will lead you or what will happen along the way. RPing is interacting with other posters, who are also part of the story. And most of all, Role Playing is fun!!
2. Does "The Prancing Pony" have any actual rules?
Yes it does.
**Absoutely NO one liners are allowed. We are trying to keep the Role Playing up to certain standards, no matter what the storyline. One liners do not advance the story, enhance anyone's character and do not give anything back to the other players so that they can go forward. To help avoid One Liners, check out How to Avoid the Dreaded One-Liner help thread.
**RP Topics in this Forum are to be Tolkien based. This forum is for role-playing within the world of Tolkien and Middle-earth. ALL RP's should be thought out before posting. 'Spam' type RPs will be removed.
**Please do not use an RP thread, RP Word Aside or OOC thread to solicit players for other RP's, OR to advertise your RP. This includes placing "RPers wanted, Please Join, Hey *Person's Name*, More People Needed, etc. in the title. These soliciting type things are disruptive and tend to lengthen the Thread title to abnormal lengths. These types of things will be removed. Placing "Accepting New Posters" in the OOC Thread title is admissable.
**DO NOT "bump" a Regular RP story thread, instead, make a normal post. "Bump"ing adds nothing to the story and can become quite annoying. If someone wants to reply to the thread, they will find it themselves. If you need to know where your thread is at and when it is posted to, please subscribe to the thread. (This ability is at the very bottom of the page.) This function will alert you to each post made to your thread. Having the thread at the "top" of the Forum should not be important.
**Do not set up a "Poll" in an RP thread. Polls are not relevant in this forum. Please use the Talk forum.
We appreciate your dedication to both The One Ring.com and the Prancing Pony forum. Please help us by following these rules.
3. How do I create a character?
The most important thing of all - Be Original! If someone is already using the persona of a character from Tolkien or a name that you want is taken, I suggest just creating your own ... it is a much better experience. So how do you create a character? Start off by deciding what race your character is. Is he/she an Elf, Dwarf, Man, Woman, Ent, Orc, Wizard, or Sorceress? Once you have chosen that, you need a name! You want it to have the feel of a real Middle Earth name. Bob The Elf doesn't sound too good, does it? So, if you can't think of a Middle-Earth type name, take an existing one and edit it. Or go to the provided link below to generate a name.
Example: Finarfin - Drop the "arfin" - Add a different ending - Finlundin - Your character has a name!
IF all else fails and you can't come up with a good name, here is a site that is a name generator The Barrow Downs. Please consider limiting your name sizes down some. We have several users already that have huge names that stretch out the screens. And please limit use of extra characters like *, ~, # etc.
Please note: Per the newly amended Terms of Service: While alternate User ID's are permissable in the Prancing Pony for Role Play character purposes, the original owner of the alternate ID must indicate their ownership of the alternate ID in the OOC thread. Any use of alternate ID's for purposeful deception will result in the immediate suspension of posting privileges for the owner ID and all the alternates.
4. What is an OOC?
OOC stands for "Out of Character" - It is basically the place where discussions about where the thread is heading, decisions about what to do, and other non-story discussions take place. So if you have something you want to say or suggest, post it in the OOC Thread. OOC threads are commonly called "A word Aside" as well. Remember this is where story planning takes place. Some chat is acceptable but making it a chat thread is not.
5. How do I join a RP?
So you have your character ready to go? Time to join a Role Play! The Role Playing is located in The Prancing Pony Forum and in The Green Dragon Inn: Role Playing - Tolkien Influenced Fantasy. These Forums are dedicated to Role Playing and the Aside/OOC planning threads exclusively. Please find one that looks interesting to you, and that you think you would have fun in. To do this, you may have to do a little bit of reading - open a thread and start at the first post. Once you find one you may want to join, don't just jump in!! First, check out that RP's aside/OOC thread. There might be restrictions on the RP, or special circumstances that are very imporant for you to know before posting. Getting the RP's starter's approval to join first is the polite thing to do and it is extremely appreciated. Also, be sure to read the entire thread before making your post.
6. I'm in a RP! What now?
Now it's up to you and your imagination, but there are some general guidelines you should follow:
*Treat others with respect. These are RP Stories, not Games. There is no winner, it's about cooperation and collaborative writing - not winning a competition. You are trying to get along with the other posters to create a story together, not beat them out.
*Please try to use proper punctuation and capitalization. Use a Word Document to type up your post and then run the spell check program. This will give the RP a professional feel.
*Pay attention to what other posters are saying and doing.
*NEVER kill another writer's character unless you have permission to do so.
*Keep up with the thread. It makes for a much more enjoyable time if everyone's posts keep with the current storyline(s).
*Try to keep your posts sensible, legible, organized, and clean. This is a family friendly site. There are children below 12 years of age posting. Please abide by the TOS (Terms of Service) at all times.
*If you are going to leave the thread, write yourself out. Don't make the other members carry your character. Use your best judgement when taking a break from your RP's. We all take a few days away at times but if you're gone for more than a couple of weeks, then you should, for the sake of politeness, consider writing your character out of the thread. You can always write yourself back in again later on.
*Do not do anything that affects another writers' character without their permission. This is just common courtesy.
*Try to avoid wacky posts. Nothing is worse than all of a sudden being thrown into battle with Morgoth and Balrogs in the 3rd Age. (It has happened before.)
*Writing dialogue or describing actions for another character is permissable, however, keep in mind that the other character's writer might not like this. It's a good idea to ask permission before touching on other writers' characters. Some people take it very seriously, while others won't mind at all. Just use your judgement.
*Sometimes, due to a variety of reasons, it is necessary to move another character along if their writer has not posted in a while. (This is called 'carrying a character'.) Hey, Real Life happens to us all! Just don't be too drastic in actions or dialogue.
*Creating dialogue is fine, but moving other writers' characters into a new situation can be a bit touchy, it's probably a good idea to consult them. Please try to contact the person first through either the OOC/Aside thread or by e-mailing them.
*Do not post large OOC comments in the story thread. This will clutter up the story. Aside/OOC threads are there for a reason.
*Most of all, have fun!!!
7. "What is an Inn?"
Inns are a type of Role Play where a group of characters are interracting in a specific and singular location, namely a Bar, Inn or Tavern. It is a totally "open" RP thread, no request to join is necessary and Inn threads traditionally do not require OOC threads. The recent building restriction on Inns has been lifted, however, there are some specific Guidelines for this type of RP thread:
Please note that these guidelines are being brought in for a trial period. We are trying to find a way to facilitate the open concept of Role Play that Inns represent, while still ensuring that this forum is not overrun by Inn-centered threads. We are hoping that the revised guidelines will help to keep a reasonable number of Inns open and running, while keeping too many multiple Inn threads from being started and abandoned and thus cluttering up the Prancing Pony Forum.
* To prevent an overabundance of Inns in this forum, only 3 Inns may be "active" at one time.
* All Inns are subject to the same guidelines that govern Role Play quality in this Forum.
* Any existing Inn that reaches 500 posts (or a few either way in order to nicely finish up a current scenario) will be locked and not automatically restarted. A request must be made to create a new thread to continue the Inn.
*"New" Inn threads must be requested first. A sticky thread is be provided at the top of this forum for this purpose - The Innkeepers Office.
* New Inns may be started whenever the number of "active" Inns falls below 3 (i.e: an Inn reaches 500 posts, or is locked due to inactivity).
* Any Inn that becomes inactive for 3 months will be locked.
* "Inactive" Inns that have been locked can be unlocked by request. However, they will only be unlocked if fewer than three other Inns are currently active.
8. Time to post!
There are many RPs on TORC. But if you are still uncomfortable about posting, we strongly suggest you head over to the Lucky Fortune Inn located in the Welcome Forum. Erinhue, a master RPer on TORC, founded this RP for the purpose of helping Newbies to Role Playing get a feel for it. We highly recommend it before heading into the Pony. There are also the Role Play 101 and Role Play 102 threads that you should look at before joining.
9. I have a Problem with something that's going on. What do I do?
Feel free to contact a moderator! If something is happening that you don't like, you think should be changed, or you think is inappropriate, contacting a moderator VIA E-MAIL is the best course of action. Thread creators retain the right to decide what happens in their thread and can politely request changes if necessary however, they are not Moderators. You can contact any of the Moderators if you have an issue or problem or if you simply have questions on how to go about something here in the Prancing Pony:
moderators at theonering dot com
Please remember that the Moderators are here to help you in any way they can. So relax and enjoy yourself, we've all been 'new' to the boards and Role Play at one time or another!

I am a quilter in Norfolk, with many projects in mind but little time to bring them to fruition at present.
I entered a quilt in the Guild section of the Festival of Quilts in 2013 and, although it was never going to win any prizes, just to see it hanging among other lovely quilts was the best quilting experience so far.
I have introduced one of my grand daughters to quilting so hope that the skill will be passed on to the next generation.
In November 2014 I have the opportunity to take quilting supplies and my own skills to a remote part of South
Africa, for three weeks, where I am hoping to work with children in Primary and High Schools and also a Hospice. The idea is to leave them with some skills which they can use to make items to sell. People are already offering me fabric but I need rulers, cutting mats and rotary cutters so, if anyone reading this page has any quilting notions which they could spare, please do get in touch with me at .
If anyone fancies a Quilting Retreat as their holiday, we have a fully fitted holiday chalet at Mundesley, near to Cromer, Sheringham and North Walsham in Norfolk which we can let out during the months from March to October. The area is lovely for walks, sea, sand, birds etc and we can provide a sewing machine if anyone needs one. There are several quilt and sewing shops in the area, a small one in Mundesley itself. The chalet will accommodate 4 people. Please email me for details if you are interested.

Jean and I lived less than two miles from Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado when that infamous shooting occurred. I was at work, and Jean was at a bus stop about two blocks away from the shooting. She saw personnel in fatigues with rifles running in a nearby field toward the school.
We live in Bailey now but were staying overnight at Jean's parents' place in Lakewood during, and about 12 miles or so from, the newly infamous Aurora shooting in the early minutes of last Friday, July 20, 2012.
Here are some random thoughts of mine on the Aurora tragedy:
1.) It takes only one person, for good or evil, to affect a nation.
2.) Citizens pull the strings of their elected representatives, not the other way around. The President moves to our citizens' pain, as does the governor, the mayor, the members of Congress and the city officials–not the other way around. That's why you saw President Obama, all of Colorado's congressmen and many of our states elected officials in Aurora yesterday.
3.) "… the peace of God … passeth all understanding …" Phil. 4:7.
4.) "Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good." Rom. 12:21.
5.) Regardless of all of the hindsight-rhetoric of people now saying that we need to pay more attention to those close to us who may seem dangerously troubled, and report them, the police will generally not respond until shots have been fired or blood has been spilled. Besides, we do not need to expand citizen surveillance.
Mental illness should absolutely become a priority of medical staff and lawmakers of this nation–indeed of our world at large–given the proliferation of causes for mental illness within a world seemingly gone mad and seemingly with no long-vision concern for advances in technology and weaponry that increasingly and exponentially allow what Alvin Toffler, in 1970, called "Future Shock" and what I would now term a "present and sophisticated madness."
What exactly is the character of "The Joker" in the Batman series but a sophisticated and intelligent madman hiding behind his mask–a self-assured, clownish smile? Our society, now more than ever, allows for such a fictional character to seem to step out from behind the theatre screen and into a very painful reality, as just happened at the Aurora Century 16.
6.) Violence is not a joke. There are those in our society who justify violence, like the Occupy Wall Street practitioners who act just as smugly (burn cars, businesses, property; and injure law enforcers) out of an amused sense that they are more sophisticated and intelligent than those who don't agree with them politically, and that they don't have time for pleading their case non-violently. Violence is not a joke, whether a democrat, republican, liberal or conservative or whatever.

and btw, when are going to answer the many points brought up in this thread?Joe Zollars
must we resort to childish name calling, Joe?hey... If you are ashamed that is your business but your silence is very telling.Yours truly,The little euro troll.
Joe,If you missed them.... I have responded to every single post directed at me. It might not be the answer that you want to here but, it is my answer.
Everyone here has been proven wrong on something at somepoint
Joe,So...have you always been orthodox?
it is not name-calling but a logical deducement from your actions since joining here. I am not ashamed, but would just rather keep my personal information to myself. These days you never know who reads/maliceously uses information posted on the net. Joe Zollars
Subdeacon Peter: LOL!!!! Theodore: thank youRB: YOu have done nothing to disprove those labels. In factyou have continuously prooved them to be true.No RB, you have not labeled people here. Oh wait except for Ben who you called a no-nothing traditionalist. Oh and let us not forget the very lenghty thread all about your bragging about recieving from an Orthodox Chalice under false pretenses.Joe Zollars
How about my post quoting you as saying that Antioch should changes its name since it was no longer in residence at Antioch, but later your saying that Rome should not have changed its name to Avingnon?How about my listing countries that are and always have been predominantly Orthodox contrary to your statement that they were once Catholic?It seems that any time someone prooves you wrong, you simply ignore the post and go on posting your diatribe. Everyone here has been proven wrong on something at somepoint, but at least we are adult enough to admit it.Joe Zollars
in one of the threads in the Orthodox-Catholic discussion if memory serves me correctly.Joe Zollars
I have been called papist, romanist, troll (my favorite), godless, apostate, heretic, etc..
Quote from: hecma925 on December 30, 2019, 07:25:46 PMOCnet is KGB.I hail Mor Ephrem as our Secretary General.
OCnet is KGB.
Oh you Greeks, you are all dumb!An Athonite
2. Most countries are not Catholic. They are either thouroughly secular, Mohamadean or Orthodox. Can you name as many Catholic Countries in EE as the ORthodox ones I named (keep in my mind my list is by no means exaustive).
Dear RB,I make a point of reading every post that gets posted on this website, and I don't recall you being called anything other than a troll and possibly a papist. I would appreciate it if you would post at least one example of anyone addressing each of those words toward you (except troll, I've seen that enough). I would like to see five examples, with links to the threads/posts in question--one each for papist, romanist, godless, apostate, and heretic. Thanks!
1. there is a difference between moving willingly and being exiled.And what would that difference be? And which See moved willingly and which was exiled? One could make a case that at least some of the Avignon Popes preferred to be in Avignon to Rome and didn't consider themselves to be in exile. One could also make a case that the Syrian Church was exiled from it's former capital city to their new one due to political and seismological conditions. But the point remains, the Apostolic succession is tied to the See, which does not HAVE to be located in it's original city, or original building, etc... Whether the See moved willingly or not is irrelevant.2. the papacy was called the avignone papacy even though he was exiled. then he return to rome. his proper place. One of the Popes, Clement VI actually refused a solemn invitation to return to Rome, as he was devoted to France. So to say that the Popes in Avignon felt exiled is just not true.
Read about the babylonian captivity and how the powerful French King Phillip the 4th forced the pope to Avignon.If I remember correctly, Clement VI was extremely partial to the french which angered the italians. They saw clement and the avignon popes as puppets of the French king. I believe that Clement VI was the worst of them all, a true puppet.... well as described by the italians.
And thus, not in exile, but where he preferred to be.
No!!!even if he didn't want to return.. would you to a hostile place. The papacy( the office) was in exiled. until it returned later. perhaps you passed over the part about the powerful french kings that forced them to stay.
I wonder if anyone has noted the significance of the Constantinople Patriarchate's contact address.Rum Patrikhanesi34220 Fener - Hali+º Istanbul, TurkeyJohn
Troll bait. Come on, guys. Give RB a break. He'll need a new keyboard before long.You know, his original question was assumed to be how many of the original 'pentarchy' are left. But there were a lot more 'holy sees' than these by the time the idea of the pentarchy was developed. I do wonder now: How many ARE left? How do you define "original"?Demetri
Oh wait except for Ben who you called a no-nothing traditionalist.
So Demetri...........what do you think of the Greek Orthodox church of America NYC?
That is right seraphin.... ROME was pagan and turned christian and it still remains. I wish that I could say the same for constantinople. If you wish to reminisce about constantinople.... who am I to argue.
Well, little troll, that's none of your business.Demetri
How many converts do you win with that attitude?
RomanByzantium,Yes, nominally Rome is "Christian" - though it's odd that a city with so many churches can only keep them reasonably full because of tourists/pilgrims."Who are you to argue"... ha. The point stands - neither Rome, nor Constantinople are the same cities they once were. Indeed, strictly speaking, the Pope no longer resides in Rome at all, but in a sovereign state (Vatican City).When it suits you, you harp about names; other times, you'll attempt to argue a little more intelligently and deal with substance. I really don't know what you're doing here - it seems the only point of your participation is to annoy people. And no, you're not "confounding the heretics" - you're simply a pest.Seraphim
You want personal info? PM me. And you, my little troll, are not interested in Orthodoxy despite your so stating that you are.{Oops, here I am violating my own "Don't Feed the Troll" rules }
Ela Demetri..His posts sound very Juvenile doesn't it?
It is really hard not to insult you, TROLL. Maybe the admins like you here, but I don't see you making any contribution -just digital pollution. It's still a personal question, not a hard one. And it is certainly not worthy of answering.

By Faisal Rahman
Source : http://www.aaj.tv/2010/10/mr-musharraf-pakistan-needs-you/
General (R) Pervez Musharraf, has launched his political party recently in London. Pakistan's politics is amazing, a dictator who was all in all in his time and used to stop people from taking part in politics or coming back in the country is now forced to restart his politics from abroad.
Public opinion is divided in Pakistan over the comeback of Musharraf. It will surely not be an easy ride for him in politics. Arrival and stay in country will not be an easy task for the former dictator.
First and the biggest hurdle that will haunt him is 3rd November. It is something over which many sections of society, regardless of their social class and political affiliations, oppose him. 3rd November issue is not only related to the suspension of constitution and illegal sacking of the judiciary, but it also connects to several human rights violations to crush the lawyers movement, media and civil society.
Lal-Masjid operation, extra-judicial killings in Baluchistan, allowing US drone and missile attacks in Pakistan, NATO supplies and troops in tribal areas have put Pakistan into a real mess. The damage he did is so severe that even after two years we are facing the deadly impact. The violations of human rights in his tenure are probably worst in the history of Pakistan. Issues of missing people, particularly Dr. Aafia Siddiqi, will surely haunt him when he comes back.
The post 9/11 policies, which were mainly adapted to give legitimacy to Musharraf's dictatorship in the eyes of world powers, have caused more than 40 billion dollars direct economic losses to Pakistan, according to government's own sources. In Musharraf's tenure, the real areas of economy such as agriculture , technology manufacturing and energy were not focused upon. As a result, we are undergoing food and worst energy crisis ever.
Some impression of stability was created through fictitious economy based on banking, real estate and telecom sector, which eventually resulted in the flight of capital and currency devaluation. This short sighted approach may have got him some political support, but for the country, the approach proved to be destructive in the long run. In fact, the economic bubble burst during the last days of his tenure.
Kashmir is another issue on which Musharraf needs to be questioned. According to APHC leaders, Musharraf damaged the Kashmir cause by sidelining the issue. The main leader from APHC, Syed Ali Shah Gillani, also accused Musharraf for the split of APHC. Keeping eyes close on India's violations of Indus Water Treaty and letting India build dams was criminal negligence. His mishandling of Dr. AQ Khan's issue and insulting the national hero will also not be forgiven by Pakistanis.
People including me often criticize the current setup, but we also need to see the cause of this mess i.e. NRO. We shouldn't only see the ugly dry branches of the dead tree but also need to see who is responsible for the hot water going into roots.
Musharraf's arrival is very important for Pakistan, as we need answers for many crimes he did against the nation. His arrival is important for strengthening rule of law as it will give chance to trial him for his unconstitutional actions. I am sure if people in NWFP and Baluchistan get a chance to file cases against him in the courts for his crimes against humanity, it will help in calming down the situation in many parts of our country. It will give a chance for Army to restore its image in the eyes of many, who have grievances against the national institution due to the policies by former dictators.
Musharraf's arrival will also be a big test for our civil society, media and the Pakistani nation as a whole. It will give us a chance to set precedence of indiscriminate justice and rule of law. I hope we will take the right decisions without falling to our prejudices and greed.

Award Winning Hoyt Techniq Archery Muscle Trainer
Patrick Mulcahy Exhibits The Hoyt Techniq Archery Muscle Trainer
Patrick Mulcahy, the designer of the award winning project Hoyt Techniq by Patrick Mulcahy spells out, The brief was to create a consumer product around the sport of olympic archery. Research showed current trainers are made with resistance bands losing tension and inaccurately imitating the physics or weight of an actual bow. This trainer can be attached to any customized handle with the universal limb attachment system. It can be used by all ages or physique variations with the 20-60lb draw weight adjustment; the adjustment can also be used for recovering injuries. It is indoor safe with the inclusion of a suppressor that accounts for the torsion spring retention after releasing the string..

An 87-year-old nudist is running for sheriff in Washington State.
Dave Olinger of Oak Harbor, made the decision to run for mayor because of he desire to seek change in local politics, reports The Los Angeles Times.
The incumbent Island County sheriff, Mark Brown, was reportedly running unopposed and as a Republican, which Olinger said was not right.
Olinger said he originally wanted to run as a member of the nudist party, but settled for the Democratic party after learning the state didn't recognize the nudist party as a political organization.
"I think he watches too much of [The Daily Show's] Jon Stewart," his wife, Kay told the Whidbey News-Times.
Olinger has a political science degree from UC Berkeley and says he hopes to at least make the general election ticket.

Market Insights
Coaxial cable is a type of cable that has its inner conductor surrounded in a tubular insulating layer. The tubular insulating layer is again covered with a conducting mesh so as to minimize the electrical and radio frequency interference. This ensures more efficient and uninterrupted signal transmission. The coaxial cable market is comprised of integration of low attenuation and high bandwidth cables with connecting equipment to transfer video, audio and internet data over various communication, entertainment and industrial devices. One of the major factors driving the growth in the global coaxial cables market is the increasing installation of advanced coaxial technologies for Internet access and household interconnected devices.
View Full Report with TOC @ http://www.credenceresearch.com/report/coaxial-cables-market
The overall coaxial cables market is segmented on the basis of applications and end-users. On the basis of application, the market is segmented into video distribution, RF transmission and internet infrastructure. As of 2016, the market is led by the RF transmission segment, contributing to more than 50% of the total market revenue. Based on the end-users, the market is categorized into television, defense & aerospace, internet service providers, telephone service providers, system integrators and others. In 2016, the overall market is led by the television segment, accounting for more than 25% of the total market revenue.
On the basis of geographic regions, the market is classified into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and rest of the world (RoW). As of 2016, Asia Pacific dominates the overall coaxial cables market and is set to emerge as the fastest growing region during the forecast period. The demand for coaxial here is primarily governed by China, Japan and India. Due to limited adoption of fiber optics in the region, coaxial cables would continue to witness steady demand for the next few years.
The overall coaxial cables market is fragmented in nature experiencing presence of large number of regional as well as international players. The key players of coaxial cable market include, General Cable Corporation, TE Connectivity Ltd., Belden, Inc., Southwire Company LLC, Prysmian Group, Nexans SA, Amphenol Corporation, LS Cable & System, L-Com Global Connectivity, Coleman Cable, Inc. and Alpha Wire. These companies primarily focus on expanding their sales network so as to ensure they reach out to optimum number of consumers.
