Absolutely the wrong decision. The art should be treasured for years to come - it is also the sort of collection the likes of which will never be amased again. One has only to look at the ghastly buildings of today versus the municipal splendour of yesteryear to realise how important keeping the nation's treasures are. In contrast, councillors always note that they are there to 'serve the public' - then let them be altruistic. If I lived in the Borough I would happily give of my time for nothing as an issue of civic pride. The real savings shoulf, of course, be made by not giving to those who take drugs, refusing all benefits to those who have only resided in the country for a few months, by stopping the library being an internet cafe for those seeking to read papers 'back home' - let them return hoem if they wish to read them, and by cutting out unneccessary expenses such as meals on wheels - services that should be provided by family, community, and church - not the council. <a href=http://www.michaelkors-bags.us.com/>Michael Kors Outlet</a> "Routine testing" revealed Legionella bacteria in a cooling tower at GlaxoSmithKline's plant in Zebulon, the massive international drug company said Tuesday.

Good varieties include Golden Charmer, which bears clusters of small white flowers amid glossy green leaves in early summer followed by bright orange berries from autumn through winter, and Soleil d'Or, which bears vivid yellow berries. Pyracantha can also be wall-trained, which shows the berries off beautifully. On wall-trained plants, shorten outward and inward-growing shoots in mid-spring, trimming sideshoots to two or three leaves after flowering to reveal the berries.
