Bordering France and Andorra to the north, Catalonia remains one of the most popular regions in Spain thanks to cosmopolitan Barcelona, its wealth of smaller towns, world-class beaches, ski resorts, and UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Stay at one of our Catalonia vacation rentals and you'll see why the birthplace of so many artists (Salvador Dali, Antoni Gaudi, and Joan Miro, to name a few) delights everyone who visits.
Like the rest of Spain, Catalonia was first settled by the Phoenicians and Greeks, and later the Romans followed by the Visigoths. With the Spanish Reconquest, Catalonia gained a bit of autonomy that allowed the Catalan language and culture to flourish. In the 20th century, Francisco Franco tried in vain to abolish that. Today, Catalan is widely spoken across the region, and uniquely Catalan traditions - from the festive La Sardana dance to Castellers (a.k.a. human towers) to Catalan stew - have made a comeback. Enjoy the sites and sounds of this singular state from one of our Catalonia vacation rentals.
Catalonia includes four distinct provinces: Barcelona, Girona, Lleida, and Tarragona. Each offers unique sites, rituals, and cuisine.
Barcelona is the largest and most-visited Catalan province. The capital city boasts a wealth of culture in its amazing architecture, world-class museums, and great restaurants. The first stop on any itinerary should be Antoni Gaudi's architectural masterpieces. La Sagrada Familia, the neo-Gothic and Art Nouveau Catholic church in the heart of the city, is the most famous and was still incomplete at the time of Gaudi's death in 1926. You can also visit the Casa Vicens and Colonia Güell, among other Gaudi works.
Barcelona is home to a wealth of great museums. Head to the Museu Picasso, featuring the early works of the cubist master. The Museum of Contemporary Art in Barcelona features modern marvels galore and the Fundacio Joan Miro boasts many of Miro's best sculptures.
The province sits on the Mediterranean coast and features popular holiday resorts such as Sitges, Castelldefels, Sant Pol de Mar, Calella, and Arenys de Mar. There are also three nature preserves in the interior, Montserrat being the most celebrated thanks to the statue of the Virgin of Montserrat, the patron saint of Catalonia. Hike amid holm oak and spend the day at the Montserrat Museum.
This province, abutting France, boasts great beaches, nature reserves, and ski resorts. It's also home to three Salvador Dali museums and world-renowned Michelin-starred eatery El Bulli.
Dali lived for more than 50 years at what is now the Portlligat House-Museum. Pubol Castle is a medieval structure that was home to Dali and his wife, Gala. The Dali Theatre-Museum in Figueres boasts a vast array of paintings, sculptures, and three dimensional collages by the surrealist master. It even houses select works of El Greco and Antoni Pitxot.
The beaches of the Costa Brava await, with their golden sand and blue water. The resorts of Tossa de Mar, Cadaqués, and Portlligat are of particular note. Spend the day at the nature reserves of Aigüamolls de L'Empordà and Cap de Creus and admire the volcanic remnants at La Garrotxa. The Catalan Pyrenees offer a wealth of ski resorts, too. The regional capital of Girona, a.k.a. the City of the Four Rivers, is worthy of a detour due to it medieval villages.
Lleida is a mountainous province and a natural wonderland. Visitors flock here to admire the beautiful Romanesque churches featuring amazing frescoes in the Vall de Boi, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Aigüestortes y Estany de Sant Maurici National Park boasts nearly 200 natural lakes and streams. Adventure sports aficionados head here for ski resorts, and gourmands savor the local cheese and olive oil.
Tarragona is varied and beautiful, with a picturesque coastline and charming fishing villages. The Costa Dorada has sandy beaches and elegant resorts. The capital of Tarragona is home to the Palaeo-Christian Necropolis Tárraco, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that once was the seat of Julius Caesar's Rome. You can also visit the Cistercian monastery of El Poblet and others like Santes Creus and Valbona de les Monges.
This gorgeous Spanish escape has everything and our Catalonia vacation rentals are the best base from which to explore it all!

The operators of a debt collection company that used false threats and other unlawful tactics to collect consumers' debts have agreed to settle Federal Trade Commission charges that they violated federal law. The settlements bar future violations and require the defendants to pay $225,000.
According to the FTC complaint, the defendants, who had about three million consumer accounts and collected debts in every state, falsely threatened that nonpayment of debt would result in garnishment of consumers' wages, arrest, or legal action. The FTC alleged that the defendants used illegal and abusive debt collection methods: they called consumers before 8 a.m. or after 9 p.m.; called their workplace when the collectors knew or had reason to know that the calls were inconvenient; told employers, co-workers, relatives, and neighbors about the consumers' debts; continued calling after receiving consumers' written demands to stop; and used harassing and abusive tactics such as calling many times a day, calling right back after a consumer hung up, and using profane or other abusive language.
Consumers filed hundreds of complaints with the FTC, the Metropolitan New York Better Business Bureau, various state attorneys general, and the defendants, according to the complaint. The defendants often failed to address the law violations alleged in the complaints and often dismissed complaints without significant investigation or disciplinary action against employees. Even in the face of substantial evidence of debt collection violations, the defendants' collectors often went unpunished or merely received a warning, the complaint stated.
The settlements prohibit the defendants from further violations of the FTC Act and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. The settlement with Oxford Collection Agency, Inc., doing business as Oxford Management Services; Richard Pinto; Peter Pinto; and Charles Harris imposes a civil penalty of $1,060,000, all but $225,000 of which will be suspended. The settlement with Salvatore Spinelli, individually, and d/b/a Salvatore Spinelli, Esq., Attorney-at-Law, also imposes a $1,060,000 civil penalty, which will be suspended based on his inability to pay. The full judgments will become due immediately if the defendants are found to have misrepresented their financial condition. The settlements also contain record-keeping and reporting provisions to allow the FTC to monitor compliance with the orders.
The Commission approved the consent decrees by a vote of 4-0. The complaint and consent decrees were entered by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York on June 23, 2009 (Case No. 2:09-cv-02467-LDW-AKT).
NOTE: The Commission issues a complaint when it has "reason to believe" that the law has been or is being violated, and it appears to the Commission that a proceeding is in the public
interest. The complaint is not a finding or ruling that the defendants have actually violated the law. Stipulated final orders are for settlement purposes only and do not constitute an admission by the defendants of a law violation. A stipulated final order requires approval by the court and has the force of law when signed by the judge.
The Federal Trade Commission works for consumers to prevent fraudulent, deceptive, and unfair business practices and to provide information to help spot, stop, and avoid them. To file a complaint in English or Spanish, visit the FTC's online Complaint Assistant or call 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357). The FTC enters complaints into Consumer Sentinel, a secure, online database available to more than 1,500 civil and criminal law enforcement agencies in the U.S. and abroad. The FTC's Web site provides free information on a variety of consumer topics.(FTC File No. 0623177)

Good luck man... I hope this one is easier to replace than your green.
Good luck man... I hope this one is easier to replace than your green.
That stinks that your laser has fallen off it's peak power. I had the same problem and he did replace/repair mine. I have had great service from David and just hope that he will take care of this problem of bad crystal coatings. It may be more to this than is at hand here. I like their lasers and hope they last a good long 8K hours or more. They are never abused in any way and always treated with the utmost in care and protection. I really hope they can clear up this problem and stay "in the good" with everyone. If a manu goes out ....that leaves the others to increase prices. Give him time.....maybe they have a viable solution that works for all involved.....
You are the only one that can make your dreams come true....and the only one that can stop them...A.M. Dietrich
Our 200mw was doing 250ish at new. Now its doing 150mw..
Lucky we don't have to rely on it for much longer than another month or so
KVANT Australian projector sales
Lasershowparts- Laser Parts at great prices
I've just had an email from David at Lasever. He acknowledges a problem with a certain batch of blue lasers and has agreed to sort it out within a couple of weeks.
Please everyone - Don't start slinging mud at Lasever (just yet). I am simply posting my experiences here for the benefit of everyone on the group. So far, David has come through and corrected things for me. I have no reason to believe that it will be any different this time.
It IS disappointing though, but if Lasever can fix the problems and deal with their dissatisfied customers quickly and efficiently AND improve their quality control they deserve to be given a chance.
I'll keep everyone posted regarding my experiences.
I second MechEng3 : great service from Lasever, I just received my tracking number for my repaired 200mW green laser. I think they just have big temporary problems (like Sony with their explosive notebook battery for example ), and so they are busy to repair a lot of lasers, so repair (and answer to mails) can take a long time...
I just hope Lasever will fix these problems and keep offering us their good lasers at unbeatable price, it is important for us hobbyist
Is the problem they are having related to the head or the PSU?
I quote from David's email...
"The batch of LSR473-200mw dropped power because the sealing of the laser is not good"
So, I guess it's the head then
Hmmm.. interesting.
I hope he gets it worked out.
They are neat looking lasers.

Hi Luke,
When we say something with ' by bus','by
cash','by credit card' and so on,each of those does not need 'The'.
For example,if we deposit in own bank account by cash,we'll get a piece of paper from the bank cashier at the branch. It would be printed that 'by cash/A/C'.
What does it mean '/' at the right side of 'by cash'? 'A/C' means 'written abbreviation for cash account'. So,'by cash/A/C' means 'the funds by cash deposit in one's cash account'. I think 'A/C'(i.e. cash account) means 'saving account'.
By the way,how do you say about the piece of
paper printed 'by cash/A/C' in the case?
When you say just only 'deposit',it would mean two ways,i.e. cash and checks. But,almost Japanese think deposit has only one way,i.e. by cash.
So,if you say 'deposit slip',the phrase can be used like below;
'Deposit your cash payments using a bank deposit slip.'.
Probably,most Japanese don't understand the meaning of the phrase.
At first,we need to understand 'cash' has two meanings. Most Japanese also think 'cash' has only one meaning,i.e. notes. So,what is another meaning of 'cash'?
Here is the answer,'cash a check at the bank'.
It means change a check to cash,i.e. notes.
Then,the previous sentence means below.
'Deposit (i.e. verb) your cash payments ( i.e notes changed from paycheck ) using a bank deposit slip ( i.e. a slip to change a check for notes )'.
Therefore,'deposit slip' could not be applicable to the case,i.e. a piece of paper for 'by cash/A/C'.
Then,can we use the phrase using a word ' the Receipt' in the case? Have a look at the sentence below.
'Cash Receipt forms must be filled out. You must write a brief description of the payment.'
OMG.it looks that almost of all people overseas believe they need 'cash a check at the bank' to deposit. It looks all people think the payee( i.e. Source of Payment)must be existed as a third party to deposit in western countries,especially.
On the other hand,1%-Japanese like me ( i.e a billionaire 🙂 usually think that a third party is not needed to deposit in own account. Because,it is not needed to seek 'Source of Payment' from a third party to deposit usually.
Anyways,I've still not found the applicable word to express about a piece of paper for 'by cash/A/C'.
How about this phrase 'an advice-receipt for deposit by cash'? But,are you going to still say about ' a check '? LOL
How about the following sentences?
・ 'an advice-receipt for deposit by cash via deposit machine'
・'an advice-receipt for deposit by cash from bank cashier at the branch'
・'I keep a customer copy of the receipt for deposit by cash'.
But,never say 'cash receipt',nor 'deposit slip' in the case.
Additionally,some Japanese included ones staying in overseas express a piece of paper as also 'statement'. But,'statement' is different from ' an advice','a receipt' and 'a slip'. In actually,'statement' means 'monthly statement'.

AsapSCIENCE tells us whether stretching helps.
Stretching is commonly performed prior to a workout/training session and afterwards for cool down. But do you know why people do it?
Benefits of stretching:
- increased range of motion
- increased flexibility
- promotion of circulation
- increase stamina
- reduced soreness
For example, as explained in the video from AsapSCIENCE, sports that require wide ranges of movement, such as figure skating will benefit from stretching as athletes will need a lot of flexibility. Whereas those who do more of a 'power' type sport, may have decreased muscle strength due to the muscles being lengthened.
Different types of stretches
There are also different types of stretches, including static, dynamic and ballistic stretching.
Static stretching
Bringing your joints as far as you can comfortably, and holding it for around 30-60 seconds.
Ballistic and Dynamic stretching
These types of stretches involve movements of the joints, as the names suggest. Ballistic stretching is characterised by fast, ballistic movements of your joints, taking them beyond your range of motion. This type of stretching can be dangerous, as fast, forceful movements may lead to injuries such as a muscle tear. Dynamic stretching, on the other hand, is safer than ballistic stretching as the movements are a lot more controlled.

How to Fertilize Ceanothus
Ceanothus, a California native shrub, provides an easy-to-care for option for a flowering shrub. Also called California lilac or mountain lilac, the bushes can grow up to 6 feet tall while withstanding drought. Ceanothus thrives on benign neglect. Once established it rarely requires additional irrigation or pruning. The roots form a beneficial relationship with the nematodes naturally present in the soil which allows the plants to fix their own nitrogen. The result is a shrub that doesn't require traditional fertilization -- and regular fertilizer can actually kill the plant. Instead, ceanothus does benefit from a more natural fertilization approach that fosters the beneficial nematodes in the soil.
Gather dry fallen leaves in the fall. Rake the leaves into a pile and mow over them with a lawn mower. The mower shreds the leaves so they decompose more readily and don't form a mat that prevents moisture from naturally seeping into the soil.
Spread a 2- to 3-inch layer of the shredded leaves on the soil over the root zone of the ceanothus. The root zone usually spreads out the same distance as the canopy of the shrub's branches.
Pull the mulch back from the stems of the shrub so there is a 2- to 3-inch space between the mulch and the stems. Leaving the mulch against the stems can trap moisture and result in rot.
Reapply the mulch each fall after you collect the dry leaves. The natural decomposition of the leaves throughout the rest of the year feeds the soil with trace nutrients that benefit the ceanothus and the nematodes in the soil.
Things Needed
- Dry leaves
- Lawn mower
- Avoid planting ceanothus in the center of lawns or other areas that contain plants that require heavy fertilization. Fertilizer runoff from neighboring plants can damage or kill ceanothus.
- You can substitute other natural mulches for leaf mulch if necessary, such as shredded bark. Only use non-treated, purchased mulch for fertilizing the shrubs.

Always someone trying to prove he or she is better than me. It's almost always true.
Here's Part 2 of my playthrough of "The Order: 1886."
"The Order: 1886," released exclusively for the PlayStation 4 by Ready at Dawn, is set in an alternate history London, where an old order of knights keep all of the world safe from half-breed monsters, who are a combination of animal and man. In the game's history, around the seventh or eighth centuries a small number of humans took on bestial traits. The majority of humans feared these half-breeds and war broke out. Despite the humans outnumbering the half-breeds, their animal strength gave them the upper hand in centuries of conflict. Centuries earlier, humanity finds new hope in King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. King Arthur and his like-minded knights take the fight to the half breeds, but Arthur soon realizes it's a losing battle. Through a mysterious turn of fate, the Knights discover Blackwater, a mystical liquid that significantly extends their lifetimes and gives them remarkable healing abilities. Despite this new advantage, the half-breeds continue to win battle after battle, until the Industrial Revolution turns the tide. Engineers are far ahead of their time, inventing technologies such as thermal imaging, Zeppelins, and wireless communications. New weapons belch electricity, ignite clouds of molten metal on top of enemies, and fulfill dual functions as fragmentation grenades and proximity mines.

Successful Financial Year 2017 for Lübeck-based Possehl Group
- Group sales reached previous year's high level at 3.8 billion euros
- Operative result (EBIT) rose slightly to 176 million euros
- Numerous supplementary acquisitions were made
15 February 2018 – 2017 was yet another successful financial year for the Possehl Group. According to preliminary figures, the Lübeck-based conglomerate achieved consolidated sales of 3.8 billion euros. Sales revenues, adjusted for the proceeds from precious metals sales and exchange rate variances, increased by around 8 %. "We outperformed our growth forecasts and improved our financial indices even further. Hence, the Possehl Group remains on its path of profitable growth", said Dr Joachim Brenk, Chairman of the Board at L. Possehl & Co. mbH since 1 August 2017.
The Group's earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) rose to 176 million euros. The operative EBIT margin with regard to the Group's turnover without the proceeds from precious metals sales remained stable at 7 %. All of the Group's nine business units contributed to the good result; however, the two segments Elastomer Plants and Electronics, both indirectly profiting from the booming global automotive business, recorded a particularly encouraging development. Through its affiliate Harburg-Freudenberger Maschinenbau GmbH, Possehl is the global market leader in supplying plants and machinery for the production of car tyres. Possehl Electronics is a major supplier of automotive electronics, semiconductors and LED headlights. The business unit Document Management Systems also achieved a double-digit sales growth through succeeding in reducing its dependency on the shrinking mail market and generating growth in the future markets eCommerce, parcel sorting plants and logistics. All other divisions within the Group remained stable and largely confirmed the good results of the previous year.
"Some of our business units would in fact have been able to report even better results if it hadn't been for the economic boom preventing us from filling vacancies as quickly as would have been required. This holds true for qualified engineers as well as for vacant positions in both the technical and commercial sectors", explained Mario Schreiber, Member of the Executive Board at Possehl. To counteract the shortage of qualified staff, Possehl intensified their centrally managed qualification and personnel development programmes last year in addition to staff development measures run at the affiliate companies.
The market for corporate transactions proved to be extremely difficult last year for long-term investors. Persistently low interest rates as well as financial investors feeling a serious pressure to invest combined with rising corporate profits in the past years continued to drive up the purchase prices for businesses. However, despite this challenging market environment, Possehl was able to acquire either all of the shares or participations in five different companies last year, focussing on acquisitions supplementing the existing business segments. "Having been able to win over such an impressive number of well-positioned medium-sized enterprises under such difficult general conditions is living proof of just how attractive Possehl is as a long-term investor and successor company in the mid-tier market", outlined Dr Henning von Klitzing, Member of the Executive Board and responsible for Mergers & Acquisitions, to explain the success.
For the coming years, Possehl's Executive Board also sees good opportunities for continued successful growth, through both organisational development and further corporate acquisitions. As far as acquisitions are concerned, the Group has already seen a successful start to the year when announcing the acquisition of the English jewellery manufacturer and supplier Weston Beamor at the end of January 2018.
About Possehl
The Possehl Group, operating worldwide under the leadership of Management-Holding L. Possehl & Co. mbH, is a diversified corporate group currently comprising nine decentrally organised business segments that are economically independent of each other. In addition to L. Possehl & Co. mbH, the Possehl Group comprises 170 subsidiaries in more than 30 different countries. In the financial year 2017, the Group generated revenues of 3.8 billion euros. Possehl currently employs around 12,500 people worldwide.
The company was founded in 1847 by Ludwig Possehl as a local hardware store in Lübeck. Since 1919, the non-profit Possehl Foundation has been the sole shareholder. This corporate structure enables the Possehl Group to operate independently and provides the basis for long-term entrepreneurial decisions.

Following a couple of weeks of at-the-crack-of-dawn training sessions and practices up to three times a day, Atlético boss Diego Simeone reportedly has a pretty good idea about who will be traveling to Monaco with him at the end of August.
According to Spanish paper AS, the Argentine tactician will narrow his squad down to 20 players for the looming 2012/13 campaign, with six footballers currently taking part in the grueling pre-season schedule set to be on their way out of the club.
Among them are: Joel, Leandro Cabrera, Rubén Micael and Diego Costa, all expected to be loaned out for the upcoming season.
Meanwhile, it is rumoured that Fran Mérida and Paulo Assunçao will be released by Atleti.
Should this indeed be the case, it is highly unlikely that playmaker Diego Ribas will be suiting up in red and white again, as Atlético do not have the funds necessary to bring him back to the Vicente Calderón permanently.
Prior to the start of pre-season, Raúl García was widely expected to be sold-off to the highest bidder after bringing up his market value in a remarkable season on-loan at Osasuna, however, the Pamplona-born midfielder has impressed 'El Cholo' and will likely be sticking around for another go with los Rojiblancos.
It also seems like homegrown defender Jorge Pulido will finally move up the pecking order and see an expanded role.
Reinforcements throughout the season will come in the form of youth products, with Atleti's U-19 European Championship-winning trio of Óliver, Saúl and Manquillo said to be in store for multiple opportunities with the first team this year, though they will begin the term taking part in Segunda División B action with the B-team.
Unless a major sale is made prior to the closing of the summer transfer window, the team is largely set.
On Thursday afternoon, Simeone ended the training session with a 10-v-10 game without goalkeepers.
Team 1 included: Sílvio, Miranda, Godín, Filipe Luis; Gabi, Mario Suárez; Salvio, Raúl García, Arda Turan; and Falcao, while Team 2 included: Kader, Cata Díaz, Pulido, Cabrera; Tiago, Emre; Dani Márquez, Oliver, Cristian Rodríguez; and Borja González.

Lamb, beautifully seasoned and broiled over charcoal, is a smart order at Ariana, the best of the Afghan places in Hell's Kitchen. Lamb tikka kebab (marinated chunks of thigh meat) is a standout–and even better with a squeeze of lemon, says Pan. You can order it with good Kabuli palow (rice with vegetables and nuts). Lamb also comes in chops or ground in kofta kebabs. Beef, chicken, fish, and shrimp round out the kebab lineup.
Off the broiler, hounds recommend pumpkin or eggplant curries, aushak (boiled leek dumplings), bolanee qandana (fried meat-and-leek turnovers), and kadoo bolanee (fried pumpkin turnovers with yogurt sauce), among other things.
Ariana also bakes good, crusty flatbread, sprinkled with nigella seeds, and serves it warm. Entrees come with a salad; order it without dressing (which the kitchen tends to apply with a heavy hand) and instead use the bright, fresh green hot sauce on the tables. For dessert, try firnee, a rice pudding with cardamom and crumbled pistachios and almonds.

Book Reviews
Mary S. Jones,
Sioux City, Iowa
"Nothing great comes easy, to be honest. Thank you, Dr. Bullock, for giving me inspiration to keep going despite life's hardships!"
Lisa K. Beckford,
Mankato, Minnesota
"I liked how this book was insightful and optimistic. Reading it gave me some much-needed motivation for keeping my head up high in today's crazy society."
Lori H. Blank,
Bloomington, Illinois
"Coming from a rough background myself, I can definitely relate to the struggles Dr. Bullock went through. He did a wonderful job conveying his message of hope."
About the Book
Growing up in an isolated community, Dr. Melvin Bullock Sr. had to face struggles such as poverty and shame at the tender age of three. Instead of being weighted down from his problems, he approached them as life-changing experiences. He viewed the lessons he gained from them as teachings of God, which he is sure to remember for the remainder of his life.
The Journeyman's Journey is a testament that experiences that do not break you will definitely make you stronger and wiser.
Experiences are teaching moments, whether they are good or bad. They are more than mental retrievals, but they are the subconscious playing forgotten messages to the conscious mind. There have been times when I was made to think, "Let bygones be bygones;" regarding some things, this could be true. As strange as it may appear, my growing up nearby the shore of Nutbush Creek has willed me this moment in the archive of the past to be shared with today's society. Therefore, I find it necessary, as well as constructive, to share my experiences regarding my passing through what was and what continues to be.

The Gospel Sprint
Many religious groups have been influenced by the spirit of the Apostolic Church birthed on the day of Pentecost; otherwise, there would have not been any need for the apostolic doctrine to have undergone and continue to suffer the cross bearing message of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Such endurance arms the Apostolic Church with Christ indwelling Spirit to parade across the corridors of time, spurning God's fundamental saving principles. It behooves every proclaimer, listener, and receiver of God's grace to analyze the content of Jesus's declaration in Saint Matthew Chapter 28, verses 19 and 20 with open conscious and submissive intents relative to satisfying God's requirements for obtaining salvation. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen. (Matthew 28:19–20) These truths have been made known to the apostolic pioneers. These trumpeters speak to those whom God has determined ready for acceptance. Therefore, it is expedient that the carrier of the gospel give clarity to the message of God as it pertains to servitude and eternal life. "For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?" (1 Corinthians 14:8). It has been my pleasure and joy to share this message with the world of Christendom. Please stay tuned for my next "Sprinter." Dr. Melvin Bullock, Sr. Pastor of the Fishers of Men Church of Our Lord Jesus Christ of the Apostolic Faith PO Box 943 Henderson, NC 27536
