Twenty one years of making motorists happy - what can the HLG team do for you in 2014?
Welcome to the HLG website It isn't the flashiest site you'll look at and we won't bombard you with more facts than you need. The aim here is to put our stock in front of you and give you a taste of what we are about. We're a well established business which places customer satisfaction at the top of our list of priorities - in our book, that goes hand in hand with the personal service that a small concern can offer over the larger, volume driven dealerships. We are still small enough to be able to hand pick every vehicle we offer for sale and our high rate of repeat business and recommendations from existing customers lend credence to this approach. Feel free to call in, telephone us or send us your email enquiry - we don't bite and we will do our best to help.
We need your stamps! The HLG team is collecting used postage stamps in aid of Hearing Dogs for Deaf People .
This wonderful charity, founded in 1982 trains and supplies canine companions for deaf handlers, enabling them to lead hugely enhanced lives. Please save yours and drop them in or post them to us. We have had well over 300,000 stamps dropped in up to now - thank you and please keep 'em coming. N.B. Please leave a little paper around each edge of the stamps, (Ideally about 1cm). If posting, please make sure you have enough stamps on the package, as we have had several examples of non - delivery, which is a bit ironic when you think about it. Thanks!
Hope you like the painting - those of you who have seen our art gallery in the High Lane showroom will already be familiar with the work of this artist, Bill Hague. He is versatile, imaginative and is the first of a number of talented art practitioners who will be featured on our new art website www.murraycrescent.co.uk. Check it out and see what you think.
The car buying and selling season is well under way and we have made a lot of people happy in both contexts. Naturally, we need to buy stock in order to sell it, so if you or someone you know has a well cared for vehicle to dispose of, we'll be very pleased to help. Do get in touch - we have bought literally thousands of vehicles over the past twenty years. Whatever the hype and hullabaloo of some of the big name buyers, you will often do far better dealing with small independents, who appreciate your business and don't put you through the hassle of "ah, yes - that was the offer on the screen, but actually blah, blah, blah..." We have bought vehicles from so many people who have put themselves through unnecessary stress before finding us. We are licensed to settle any outstanding finance and it is our pleasure to make the transaction straightforward and transparent.
We see our garage, which was established on this site on 15th of June 1927, as "the corner shop" approach and if our record of repeat custom is anything to go by, it works. People come from all over, time and again and tell their friends, family and colleagues. On the 28th of May, we had a gentleman in for some new tyres on his Toyota, whose family have bought FIFTEEN CARS from HLG during our twenty one years here. Proof positive that we care - in fact we get the strong feeling that many people are going back to grass roots, spending their money where they know they will be treated with respect and given that extra time and consideration.
Do you have a local shopping story to tell? We'd love to hear from you, by 'phone 01663 763355 or send us an email to firstname.lastname@example.com Maybe we could have a register of local enterprises who try that little bit harder, for the benefit of us all. Let us know about your experience and let's get the pride back in local shopping. Talking of which, we are pleased to announce the arrival of our new neighbour across the road. Bev Love took over florist "Down To Earth" on the 6th of June and is well qualified to make the business 'rock,' having worked as a designer for Marks and Spencer and worked in London and Hong Kong before opening a giftware shop in India. High Lane resident Bev will carry on the traditional floristry side of the business, but intends to stock accessories and soft furnishings to complement or transform your home. Well worth a visit!
Have a browse round our cars and remember that apart from buying and selling vehicles, you can sample our other services. Body repairs, paintwork, paintless dent removal, puncture repairs, tyres, exhausts, servicing. Whatever your motoring needs, talk to us and we'll do our best to help you. Without pressure. With a smile.
Do you have a favourite place to eat out, somewhere you would be happy to recommend to our customers? Please send your suggestions and a quick comment about the food, service and value to email@example.com so we can share your choice(s). Thanks ever so.

Any Growth Investor Should Consider This Stock
Federico is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Stratasys (NASDAQ: SSYS), the leading manufacturer of in-office rapid prototyping (RP) systems is not only growing fast, but also keeping market share and freezing prices on the roof. And guess what? It just reported earnings. Lets take a look at the market and the company.
A Market Going From Good to Great.
The 3D sector is growing rapidly. Stratasys and its main competitor, 3D Systems (NYSE: DDD) have far outperformed other manufacturing technology stocks YTD (they are up 122% and 214% respectively), but amazing stock performance should not surprise anyone. Wohlers Associates estimates that the 3D printing market grew 29.4% in 2011, with a 26.4% CAGR over the 24-year period ending in 2011. But high growth is just a part of the story since the market is already big, in absolute terms: the 3D printing market reached $1.7 billion in 2011 sales; when putting future growth estimate numbers to work, Wohlers Associates estimates the industry's addressable market will total $3.7 billion by 2015 and $6.5 billion by 2019.
But not all the growth is expected to come from the profitable professional market since even when the consumer market remains small in terms of sales (as the average selling price per unit is so low), this portion of the market is booming, and on a unit basis, is far larger than the professional grade industrial printers that form the majority of total industry revenue so far. Apparently, good news now shall become better and better going forward.
From SSYS's standpoint the future also looks bright since, even though the competitive landscape is intensifying (31 professional grade systems manufacturers participate in the market as of 2012), the majority of revenues come from a very narrow collection of participants and we see this concentration is here to stay given that main players are not interested in price wars and they are basing competition on other far less replicable aspects of the business.
The pricing power in place (since neither 3D Systems nor Stratasys have lost market share through keeping prices high) comes from two key advantages:
Their high quality service capability - which is a real edge for 3D in particular.
Their strong re-seller network – Stratasys appears to have an advantage over the whole collection of competitors on this specific front. Stratasys' global network of resellers and agents has played significant roles in the growth of the company's market share especially in key areas such as North America, South America, Europe & Asia where demand growth for such technologies is at its peak. The key in the continuous growth and expansion of the firm's selling points has been its acquisition appetite. Solidscape's acquisition for $39.1 million last year could be a clear example of success in this front.
A Snapshot of Results
To be fair lets highlight some results achieved:
a) The company just reported revenue of 144.1 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, a 28% increase from the 112.3 million reported for the same period last year. Good keeps getting better.
b) System shipments totaled 911 units for the third quarter of 2012, a stunning 52% increase.
c) In 2011, the company earned 22.51 million from its operations for a Cash Flow Margin of 14.44%. This number is set to improve for 2012.
d) Stratasys uses little or no debt in its capital structure and will continue to do so; thus, the +12% ROE that you see is all true healthy performance.
Good or Even Great is Not Enough.
All the above said, finding a good company in a growing market with efficient management makes only a part of a good investment case. The remaining chapter in successful investing is entry price because everything has a price and a big entry ticket can jeopardize years of investment performance. There is a good article from the blog Warren Trades that explains this.
Trading at a multiple of 75x P/E and with its $1.5 billion market capitalization, Stratasys could already be fairly priced – or even more than fairly priced; $67.50 per share , in our opinion, reflects its huge earning power potential in the always changing high tech market – of course when we say 'always changing' we are stressing the risks associated to an industry where a technological breakthrough by a competitor that could change the game entirely is always in the cards.
After all, there is a right price for everything and we feel that the value that you get is not greater than the plus sixty seven dollars you give going long on Stratasys.

A Longer Version of the News on Cassandra Usage at Twitter
A (much) longer version of our Cassandra status inside Facebook, Twitter, Digg and Friday's updates on Cassandra usage at Twitter on HighScalability.com:
Twitter may not want to make the same mistake. Does this mean Cassandra and NoSQL suck? No, I think it's just smart project planning. It's actually OK to have multiple platforms for different purposes.
That's just a different way of saying to use the right tool for the job, the motto that I'm trying to associate with the NoSQL ecosystem.

In the first of our series bringing you opera productions from London's Royal Opera House, a chance to enjoy the company's new staging of Richard Wagner's epic, his final masterpiece. A young man ignorant of everything, including his own name, arrives at the Kingdom of the Holy Grail. Is he the 'pure fool, enlightened by compassion', who, it has been prophesied, will purify the kingdom?
Running time includes two intermissions.
An unforgettable experience!
Richard Eyre's produciton of Verdi's masterpiece has been one of the most successful opera stagings in the long and celebrated history of the Royal Opera House. We present the original, definitive incarnation of that production, starring the incomparable Renee Fleming as the ill-fated courtesan Violetta, oppose Joseph Calleja as Alfredo and Thomas Hapson as his unyielding father.
Tickets $22
Andrei Serban's staging of Puccini's final opera is a glorious pageant of rich colour, dance and drama. Turandot is a tale of disguised identities, riddles, ritual executions and powerful, triumphant love.
Paris in 1855, when the opera was first performed, provides the starting point for the interpretation by celebrated Norwegian born director Stefan Herheim. The opera ballet plays a significant role too, with Johann Kobborg choreographing for dancers from the Royal Ballet and Royal Danish Ballet. The story is set to impassioned and dramatic music, rich in showpiece arias and ensembles with striking choruses. Antonio Pappano conducts a world-class cast including Erwin Schrott, Bryan Hymel and Lianna Haroutounian in The Royal Opera's first ever staging of Verdi's grand opera.
Don José (Jonas Kaufmann) is a young soldier in the army in Seville. He intends to marry Micaëla, a girl from his home village, but when he meets the sensual and high-spirited Carmen (Anna Caterina Antonacci), his head is soon turned…Spanish heat and gypsy passion are brought to the stage in Francesca Zambello's vivid production of Bizet's famous opera.
Sung in French with English subtitles
Acts One and Two will last for about 1 hour 50 minutes, followed by a 15 minute interval. Act Three will last for about 1 hour 5 mins.
Powerful music, a gripping story and a tragic end: Puccini's ever-popular Tosca performed with a fabulous cast. Among the star singers in this revival are Angela Gheorghiu, Jonas Kaufmann and Bryn Terfel. Jonathan Kent's detailed production draws to the full on the historical backdrop of Rome in 1800, an atmospheric backdrop to the love of the beautiful diva Tosca, the idealism of her lover Cavaradossi and the deadly, destructive obsession of the malevolent Chief of Police, Scarpia.
Daniele Abbado explores themes of identity, exile and religion in a powerful staging of Verdi's epic opera. War has broken out between the Babylonians and Israelites. The Israelites have captured Fenena, younger daughter of the Babylonian King, Nabucco. In revenge, Nabucco vows to destroy Jerusalem, aided by the vengeful Abigaille.
"Domingo's career, 42 years at Covent Garden and counting, continues to be a wonder of the age." The Guardian
A lost key and an accidental touch of cold hands in the dark – so begins one of the great romances of all opera. In his depiction of the tender and ultimately tragic love between Mimì and Rodolfo, Puccini achieved an immediacy, warmth and humanity that have rarely been equalled.
Kasper Holten, ROH Director of Opera, presents a mesmerizing new production of Mozart's sublime tragicomedy. The impulsive and charismatic Don Giovanni travels through Europe seducing women, accompanied by his long-suffering servant Leporello. When he commits murder, he unleashes vengeance from beyond the grave.
Puccini's first triumph returns to Covent Garden for the first time in 20 years in a new staging by Jonathan Kent. The exciting Latvian soprano Kristine Opolais sings the title role. A consummate Puccini soprano, Opolais caused a sensation as Madama Butterfly in 2011, and with Manon Lescaut, the bold but impressionable heroine, we will see a very different side of her. She is matched in star power by Jonas Kaufmann as her lover, Des Grieux, and Christopher Maltman as her cynical brother Lescaut. Kent's vision of a young girl who faces temptation in the big city will surely resonate with today's audience.
The feature debut of writer-director Anthony Minghella (The English Patient; The Talented Mr Ripley) is a film warmth, tenderness and comedy. After her husband, Jamie (Alan Rickman), dies, Nina (Juliet Stevenson is consumed by grief. So much so that Jamie comes back to her as a ghost...
Introduced by Murray Battle, director of Indpendent Production and Presentation at BC's Knowledge Network.
In 1984 East Berlin, an agent of the secret police, conducting surveillance on a writer and his lover, finds himself becoming increasingly absorbed by their lives.
"A thoroughly compelling political thriller, at once intellectually challenging and profoundly emotional."—Claudia Puig, USA Today
"The Lives of Others is a supremely intelligent, unfailingly honest look at a shadowy period in recent German history."—AO Scott, New York Times
Germany, Switzerland
Arguably the most popular building site in the world, the Sagrada Familia cathedral in Barcelona is still a work in progress, 125 years after the first stones were laid. Designed by the controversial Catalan genius Antonio Gaudi, the Sagrada is a testament to Faith ... Faith in God, in the natural forms that so inspired the architect, and also in man, for Gaudi always knew this work would have to be completed long after his life-time.
"This film is more than a documentary, it tells the story using beautiful and quiet images of the transformation of ideas, talks of human endeavour for perfection and in so doing, illustrates that the essential meaning of this edifice lies in its creation process and not only in its completion.
This creative process is illustrated in varying perspectives from inside the incomplete church as well as the complex structure of the exterior parts of the church.
The film gives cause for self-reflection on how the past and present are related, portraying people and destinies involved in the construction of the church and ultimately proves that something incomplete also has its own significance."—Jury citation, Erasmus Euro Media Awards
"Both exhaustive and astounding in its detective-like exploration of the history of the impossibly ornate Catalonian house of worship."—Jackson Scarlett, 7x7SF

Yikes! thats a steep price point... i would have though since there not selling hardware included it would be less...
wow, $100 seems a bit much, don't ya think?
WOW $100 Bucks and then you have to buy the mount seperate??? not really worth it... Hopefully they will have a price drop or either give a free trial, before you have to make that much of an inve$tment...
I think the navigon interface is nicer
Here's the kicker: us UK lot will still very likely have to pay $100 for the UK map, even though out "island" is a fraction of the size of the US.
I'm very curious as to how this works with the built in GPS chip on the 3G
Haha $100 and you can get a decent stand alone gps system that already comes with the windshield mount and stuff like that. This pricing is a huge mistake on tomtoms part if they even want to sell a decent amount of apps. Navigon is about have the price and it seems to have great reviews and such so I'm sure a lot of people will resort to that instead of paying a whopping $100 for the app without the accessories.
damn first off the price is 100$ that makes it not worth it for unjailbroken users. and second off the size takes up a whole GB of space epic fail
Why would someone spend 100 bucks on this, if the built in map app does exactly the same thing?
^ lol. Seriously?
Line up you 3Gs'rs, they can see ya coming!
They musta lost their friggin minds!!
I can buy a standalone GPS unit for less than $100.00!!!
Didnt they do a price point comparison with comparable apps? I guess they figure there's one born every minute... but I wasn't one of them! Is TomTom a division of apple?? lol
I guess i'll just wait to see what TeleAtlas comes up with.
you can buy a TT for $50
I don't get it 99.
now in uk appstore £59.99.
4 1/2 out of 5 stars with 11 reviews.
oh it has speed camera alerts. i probably should of read that
edit: only 241mb
I could get this without hurting my wallet but I already got a GPS in my car ha ha
Priced to high. You can buy a stand alone gps device for less.
$50 would of been more appropriate.

Customer Reviews
Rated 4.6 out of 5�by 27 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by OutaCtrl99 Every Runners Friend! Perfect for those long runs where chafing becomes your not so nice friend. Used inner upper thigh and between chest and sports bra. Works wonders! Definitely recommend! September 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Christina Worked well I used this product for a recent triathlon and it performed well. Did as it advertised. August 19, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5�by UpNorthPixie Ok I got this to help w chafing during my run. It seems it makes the fabric bunch worse than without it. Possibly using this wrong? Tried it once on a long run (6 miles) and haven't used it since. Odd, thought it would help more than it did. For reference I am 5'3" 125 lbs and got it for humid runs. July 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Mariah Works great! I live by this stuff in the summertime. No need to reapply throughout the day! It lasts all day long even if you're in and out of the water :-) June 24, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5�by lb2014 Body Glide for Her I bought this product to prevent chaffing of the thighs in the summer months when it's hot outside and I am wearing cute skirts. The product leaves a lubricant sort of feeling and felt a bit sticky when I first applied it. I was hoping that it would dry quickly and feel soft like a powder. It did work somewhat but I was not happy with the overall feel of the product, as it stayed sticky. I still think a pair of tight, breathable shorts or powder work best. I was hoping this product would do just that...but was sadly disappointed after the great reviews I had read about it. June 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Heidi256 Wonderful product for women! I was introduced to Body Glide by a few of my friends who are also into strenuous exercise. I use it on my feet, inner thighs, under my bra, wherever I might chafe due to excessive perspiration due to heavy activity. It is odorless, non-greasy, and washes off easily with water. My only complaint is that I wished it came in the same size as the regular Body Glide, which comes in a larger size and has a larger surface area. June 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by ldp111 great for a chubby girl One of my friends that runs marathons recommended this product. Thus far, I've only used it on my inner thighs, but NOT only when exercising - it makes wearing a dress at work comfortable, too. June 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Tony Excellent product Very useful product. Had been referred to this specific product. May 29, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by nicky helpful Helpful and worth the purchase. Wish it could be used other ways also May 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by EchoGirl No More Chafing In My Short Running Shorts I bought BodyGlide For Her because I like to run, but always wear capri-length running pants or long spandex type shorts. I wanted to be able to wear the shorter running shorts. I've had inner thigh chafing before. I tried BodyGlide For Her on a 12 mile walk/run combo and had ZERO issues with chafing. I usually run about 12-16 miles per week and continue to use this product. I live in Florida, so being able to wear the shorter running shorts is a bonus with the heat. May 14, 2014

Banks that received state aid or European Central Bank support to help them survive the crisis should be required to earmark some of their lending for small firms, say MEPs in a draft resolution to be voted on Tuesday.Banks should be required to tailor loans to the needs of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), says the Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee's draft resolution.
The draft also calls for clear rules on cooperation between SMEs and their creditors and new measures to help small firms to ensure that other firms pay them faster.Small firms, such as family-run businesses, high-tech ventures and start-ups, suffer more than other economic players from the difficulty of obtaining bank loans, and are also hardest-hit by late payments.

- Good pump, cheep every thing else Review by L. Williams
Price Value Quality
Had this compressor for under 1yr. Used it for very little, on tires, car once in a while mostly on lawn mower. Tire was dry rotted and didn't want to buy a new one. Before mowing season was over the regulating adjustment valve stopped working, turn it and it would go up 5 lbs then drop 10lbs. You can get the same junk at Lows for $130.

- Does exactly what I wanted it for Review by zzzman
Price Value Quality
I bought this unit to use around the garage and to run nailers. It performs these tasks well.
The compact size allows me to keep it out of the way in a corner of the garage hooked to a 50 foot hose reel and its light weight allows convenient portability when I need it at other locations.

More than one third of children and adolescents are obese or overweight, and more and more families are coming to Dr. Jason Mendoza for advice on how to help their kids lose extra pounds. But obesity treatments can be difficult to complete and are expensive. Mendoza is testing a new approach that tries to prevent obesity using ideas from eras when obesity was uncommon.
"I'm looking at whether getting children to walk or ride their bikes to school can increase children's physical activity and reduce their risk of obesity," says Mendoza, a principal investigator in the Center for Child Health, Behavior and Development and associate professor at the University of Washington.
40 years ago, almost half of U.S. children regularly walked or rode their bikes to school. Today, most kids get driven by their parents or take the school bus. This may help explain why many children don't come close to getting the 60 minutes of daily moderate to vigorous physical activity that health providers recommend.
With funding from the National Cancer Institute, Mendoza is leading a five-year study that builds on a program called the "walking school bus," where adults supervise groups of kids as they walk to school. The study's researchers oversee walking school buses in low-income areas where childhood obesity rates are highest.
"There's often more single-parent families in schools in low-income areas, and many of the parents work multiple jobs," Mendoza says. "They may not have time to regularly walk their kids to school."
Six Seattle schools and up to 100 kids are participating in the study for the 2013–2014 school year. Mendoza's team will measure the height, weight and waist circumference of each child at the start of the school year. The kids will also wear accelerometers – watch-like devices that measure how much physical activity they obtain.
Three schools will be randomly chosen from a group of six participating schools to get the walking school bus intervention, with Mendoza's team accompanying groups of kids to and from school. They'll also teach the children how to safely navigate streets and traffic, take the children's measurements again at the end of the year and survey the kids and their families to see if their attitudes toward walking to school change. Ideally, participants would become more likely to walk to school after the study ends.
The results will be compared to participants from three schools that don't get the intervention.
"If this helps kids to be more physically active or reach a healthy body weight, it could convince school districts and other organizations to pay for staff to oversee walking school buses in certain areas," Mendoza says.
With funding from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, Mendoza is also leading a pilot study that investigates the health impacts of "bicycle train" programs where kids are supervised while they bike to school. Study participants get free bikes and safety training from the Cascade Bicycle Club and learn bike maintenance from Bike Works. Mendoza hopes the bicycle train, which will last several weeks, will provide important preliminary data to motivate a larger study – and eventually show whether bicycle trains should be incorporated into public policy and implemented nationwide.
"There isn't one magic solution to childhood obesity," Mendoza says. "It's going to take changes in a bunch of different areas, from how we get to school to how we eat to how we design our cities."

The British Crime Survey (BCS) collects information about experience of victimisation and allows examination of risk factors associated with victimisation. The Offending, Crime and Justice Survey (OCJS) is a self-report survey of offending but has also included questions on experience of personal victimisation.
Crime statistics from the Crime Survey for England and Wales and police recorded crime.
The BCS is a nationally representative survey with an achieved sample of approximately 47,000 adults living in private households in England and Wales each year. It is a face-to-face victimisation survey in which respondents are asked about their experiences of crime in the 12 months prior to their interview. The BCS collects information about the victims of crime; the circumstances in which incidents occur; and the behaviour of offenders in committing crimes. The survey can be used to examine which factors are associated with the risk of becoming a victim of crime and of multiple, and repeat, victimisation.
The OCJS is a nationally representative sample survey of adults aged 10-25 living in private households in England and Wales. It provides measures of self-reported offending; indicators of repeat offending; trends in the prevalence of offending; and information on the nature of offences committed, such as the role of co-offenders and the relationship between perpetrators and victims. The OCJS also provides some information on the extent and nature of young people's personal victimisation.
BCS data are reported annually in the Home Office Statistical Bulletin 'Crime in England and Wales'. The OCJS was carried out in 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006 and the latest results 'Young people and crime: findings from the 2006 Offending, Crime and Justice Survey' were published in July 2008.
Technical Data
British Crime Survey
The British Crime Survey (BCS) is a nationally representative survey with an achieved sample of approximately 47,000 adults living in private households in England and Wales each year. The BCS started in 1981 and has been running as a continuous survey since 2001/02. It is a face-to-face survey in which respondents are asked about their experiences of crime in the 12 months prior to their interview and their perceptions of crime and crime-related topics, such as anti-social behaviour and the police. The BCS is a key source of information on experience of victimisation as it provides a rich source of data on the background characteristics of respondents and the circumstances of victimisation.
As a survey of members of the public living in private households, the BCS does not cover commercial victimisation, for example, thefts from businesses and shops, and frauds. The BCS also excludes crimes termed as victimless (for example, possession of drugs) and so, as a victim-based survey, murders are not included. The BCS does not currently cover crimes against people aged under 16 or those in communal establishments. However, one of the key recommendations of the crime statistics reviews carried out in 2006 was that the BCS should be extended to include populations currently not covered by the survey. As a result, the Home Office is extending the BCS to cover under 16s from January 2009.
Offending, Crime and Justice Survey
The OCJS is a nationally representative longitudinal self-report survey which asks young people in England and Wales about their attitudes towards, and experiences of, offending. Its main aim is to examine the extent of offending, anti-social behaviour and victimisation among the household population, particularly among young people aged from 10 to 25.
The first survey was carried out in 2003 and covered around 12,000 people aged from ten to 65 living in private households in England and Wales. Subsequent annual surveys carried out in 2004, 2005 and 2006, focused on young people aged from 10 to 25. In 2004, and in each of the subsequent years, young people who had previously been interviewed and agreed to further contact were followed up for re-interview. In addition to these 'panel' respondents, 'fresh sample' respondents aged from 10 to 25 were also introduced to ensure the total sample was around 5,000 young people each year. Longitudinal data (information from the same individuals over time) allows the examination of the pathways into and out of delinquency, and the impact various risk and protective factors have on these pathways.
The OCJS covers 'mainstream' offences against households, individuals and businesses such as burglary, shoplifting and assault. It also covers fraud and technology offences. The main focus of the OCJS is on the 20 core offences, and the wording of these questions was carefully considered to reflect legal definitions in simple, understandable language which was suitable for a survey including respondents aged as young as ten.
As a sample survey of the general population, the OCJS will pick up relatively few 'serious' offenders. In particular, very serious offences including homicide and sexual offences are omitted. People in institutions (including prisons) or who are homeless are not covered in the OCJS sample.
Confidence interval
Surveys produce statistics that are estimates of the real figure for the population under study. These estimates are always surrounded by a margin of error of plus or minus a given range. The confidence intervals for a particular statistic provide a range of values around that statistic where the 'true' (population) statistic is located with a given level of certainty. Confidence intervals can also be constructed for changes in estimates between years of the BCS and for differences between population subgroups (see the definition of statistical significance).
Sampling error
A sample, as used in the British Crime Survey (BCS), is a small-scale representation of the population from which it is drawn. As such, the sample may produce estimates that differ from the figures that would have been obtained if the whole population had been interviewed. The size of the error depends on the sample size, the size and variability of the estimate, and the design of the survey. It can be computed and used to construct confidence intervals. Sampling error is also taken into account in tests of statistical significance.
Statistical significance
Statistical significance is the probability that an observed difference or relationship in a sample occurred by chance, and that in the population no such difference or relationship exists. The BCS estimates are subject to sampling error, so differences between estimates from successive years of the survey or between population subgroups may occur by chance. Tests of statistical significance are used to identify which differences are unlikely to have occurred by chance. In this publication, tests at the 5 per cent significance level have been applied (the level at which there is a one in 20 chance of an observed difference being solely due to chance).
Weighted data
Two types of weighting are used to ensure the representativeness of the BCS sample. Firstly, the raw data are weighted to compensate for unequal probabilities of selection. These include: the individual's chance of participation being inversely proportional to the number of adults living in the household; the over-sampling of smaller police force areas; and the selection of multi-household addresses. Secondly, calibration weighting is used to adjust for differential non-response.

RSVP love's coral. Here's a look at the colour which we have sometimes thought has an identity crisis, the one court between being pink and orange: coral. Which also seems to be known as salmon (more orange) and honeysuckle (more pinky). Confusing. We haven't traditionally been big fans of coral (memories of hideous coral lipstick of being a teenager in the late 1980s), but looking at these images, we're thinking more kindly about it. You?

at Rice, Sat., Nov. 23All-Time Series: Princeton leads 2-1Last Meeting: Jan. 6, 2007 in Princeton. Princeton won 51-28
vs. George Mason, Tue., Nov. 26All-Time Series: First meetingLast Meeting: N/A
• With its 66th meeting Wednesday night, Lafayette is Princeton's second-most played non-conference rivalry behind Rutgers, which Princeton will meet for the 120th time next month. Princeton leads the series 47-18, including 34-7 at home and 10-4 in Jadwin Gym.• Princeton has won the last four meetings in the series against Lafayette, which has been played annually since 1990 but began in 1901. The current streak ended Lafayette's most successful run in the series, which lasted from 1998-2008 and saw the Leopards go 7-4 against Princeton.• In the series' last meeting, a 72-53 Princeton win in Easton, Princeton outshot Lafayette 58 percent to 35.2 percent and outrebounded the Leopards 39-23. Seven Tigers scored Princeton's 72 points, including 28 from Ian Hummer '13. Thirty-nine of Princeton's points return, as do 36 of the Leopards' 53 points, with Tony Johnson (10) and Levi Giese (seven) accounting for those not returning. Johnson co-led Lafayette in that game alongside Dan Trist's 10 points.• The Tigers outrebounded Butler 33-30 last time out, giving Princeton the rebounding advantage in each of their first two games. Princeton last opened the season outrebounding its first two foes in the 2010-11 season, when it had the rebounding edge in the first five games.• Princeton's 20 3-pointers in its two games so far, paced by 12 againt Florida A&M, have given Princeton the Ivy lead in the category at 10 threes per game headed into Tuesday's contests. The Tigers have tried 54.8 percent of their field goals from beyond the arc, while just 33.3 percent of Princeton's opponents' FG tries were from distance.• Princeton has three of the top eight players in the Ivy League in minutes per game, headed into Tuesday's games. Ben Hazel (34.5 mpg) is second, with Hans Brase (33.5) third and Spencer Weisz (32.0) tied for second.• Princeton also has the second-leading scorer and rebounder in the Ivy entering Tuesday with Denton Koon (19.0 ppg) and Hans Brase (10.5 rpg).• Princeton has 134 points through two games after putting up 67 each against FAMU and Butler. It's the most Princeton has had through two regulation games since the start of the 2003-04 season, when Princeton scored 134 against Colgate and Holy Cross. • Princeton had 37 free throw tries at Butler, its most since Feb. 12, 2005 against Columbia (40). It's the most on the road for the Tigers since Feb. 3, 1984 at Brown (37). The 37 free throw tries were more than double the 16 Princeton had against Florida A&M.• Princeton had a player get a double-double in each of the first two games of the season for the first time since the 1993-94 season, when Chris Doyal '96 did so. Denton Koon and Hans Brase have had the double-doubles so far this season. It hasn't happened in the season's first three games since the 1964-65 season when Bill Bradley '65 (twice) and Bill Koch '67 contributed the double-doubles.• Princeton returns nearly 75 percent of its scoring from a year ago despite graduating reigning Ivy Player of the Year Ian Hummer '13. The team also returns 71 percent of its starts and 67 percent of its minutes, with Denton Koon, T.J. Bray, Will Barrett and Hans Brase all having started at least 18 games last season.• Thirty-nine percent of Princeton's points this season have been scored by players who weren't on the 2012-13 roster, including Jimmy Sherburne (10.0 ppg), Spencer Weisz (7.0 ppg), Ben Hazel (7.0 ppg) and Peter Miller (2.0 ppg).• Princeton is looking to stand at 2-1 through the first three games for the first time since the 2009-10 season. The Tigers have been 1-2 after three games each of the last three years.• Princeton has won the last three games against Patriot League schools, including two last season against Lafayette and Bucknell as well as the 2011 game against Lafayette. Princeton's last loss to a Patriot League school was on Nov. 25, 2011 at Bucknell.• Two Hun School teammates from the 2012-13 season will be on opposite sides Sunday night, with Princeton freshman Hashim Moore and Lafayette rookie Jake Newman. Also, though they weren't teammates, Princeton's Hans Brase and Lafayette's Jack Detmer are both Hill School alumni.
• The Leopards have four players averaging double-figure points through the first four games, but Lafayette's opponents are averaging 82.5 points so far. Lafayette's opponents are shooting just 29.6 percent from beyond the arc, far below Princeton's 39.2 percent average so far.• Giveaways and takeaways have been a concern for the Leopards so far, turning the ball over 29 times to just 15 for their opponents, while Lafayette has just five steals this season to 15 for its foes.• Lafayette only lost two players who appeared in a game last season, Tony Johnson and Levi Giese. The pair accounted for 30 percent of Lafayette's points last season, with 13.3 ppg from Johnson and 6.9 ppg from Giese. The two were among the six players who accounted for 90 percent of the team's scoring last season, along with returners Seth Hinrichs, Dan Trist, Joey Ptasinski and Bryce Scott.• Lafayette was picked second in the Patriot League preseason poll behind league newcomer Boston University. The Leopards received two of the 20 first-place votes, with the other 18 going to BU.
Mitch Henderson '98 is in his third season as Princeton's head coach. His overall record at Princeton is 38-24.
Henderson is aiming to become the first Princeton coach since John Thompson III '88 to have winning seasons in each of his first three campaigns. He would be the sixth Princeton coach to accomplish that, following Frederick Luehring (1912-20), Butch van Breda Kolff '44 (1962-67), Pete Carril (1967-96), Bill Carmody (1996-2000) and Thompson III '88 (2000-04).Henderson is presently tied for ninth on the Princeton all-time wins list (38) with Joe Scott '87, with predecessor Sydney Johnson '97 in eighth with 66 wins over four seasons. With 37 wins through his first two seasons, Henderson was fourth on the list of wins for Princeton coaches through their first two campaigns, behind Carmody (51), van Breda Kolff (39), and Carril (39).
Henderson was a second-team All-Ivy Leaguer in 1998, an honorable mention All-Ivy Leaguer in 1997, and was a two-time Ivy Rookie of the Week in 1994-95.
Henderson graduated as the fourth-leading assist man in program history (kept since 1974-75) and is now fifth, having been surpassed by one of his players, Ian Hummer '13. Henderson graduated fifth in career assists (kept since 1974-75) and is now eighth, having been passed by former teammate Gabe Lewullis '99, current San Diego Padre Will Venable '05 and Marcus Schroeder '10.Henderson is one of seven Princeton alumni who are current Division I head coaches, including John Thompson III '88 (Georgetown), Joe Scott '87 (Denver), Mike Brennan '94 (American), Chris Mooney '94 (Richmond), Sydney Johnson '97 (Fairfield) and Craig Robinson '83 (Oregon State). The Tigers are second only to North Carolina (eight) in alumni as current D-I head coaches.
Prior to Princeton, Henderson coached at Northwestern for 11 seasons under his final head coach at Princeton, Bill Carmody, from 2000-11.

Cosmetology Training Programs
Almost half of all cosmetologists and barbers are self-employed, according to the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The median annual cosmetologist salary was just under $20,000 in 2004--with some competitive positions earning more than $40,000.
Beauty Schools and Cosmetology License Preparation
Full-time cosmetology programs, available at public and private vocational schools, can last anywhere from nine months to two years, although training programs in more specialized areas such as skin and nail care can be significantly shorter. Programs generally include both coursework and practical work. In addition to instruction in basic services, cosmetology training can include classes such as instrument care, sanitation and hygiene, anatomy, chemistry, and physiology. All states require practicing cosmetologists to be licensed, and certification requirements vary from state to state. When choosing a cosmetology career training school or program, take into account that many states do not have licensing reciprocity. Online courses in cosmetology are also available to help prepare you for a career or stay informed about the latest trends in the cosmetology industry.
Cosmetology Job Outlook
The industry outlook for cosmetology positions is good, according to the BLS, particularly for experienced cosmetologists who are licensed to provide a wide range of services. Successful cosmetologists understand the latest trends in design, fashion, and art and have the people skills necessary to build a loyal clientele. Other cosmetology career options include teaching or image and fashion consulting. If you have style, a cosmetology career can give you the perfect opportunity to express it.

These slugs are great...recoil not too bad for a girl shooter and no jams. However, I would prefer boxes of 25-50 slugs but have only found these 5-count for 20 gauge shotgun. Maybe SG could work on this. Thank you.
Great price for great slugs. I had bought three boxes of these inexpensively priced slugs last June for target practice. These Winchester Super X slugs were right on target at 50 yards just by sighting with the rifle sights on my 1100. I just bought three more boxes for my next long gun range day.
works great
Ordered these by mistake. Thought I was ordering 12 GA slugs. But still a good deal. I'll give them to a friend who has a 20 GA.
I ordered the wrong guage but gave them to my neighbor. He was able to use them. and I re-ordered 12 guage.My mistake.
never fired them yet, but I am sure they will all power down range

While Project Better Place has met its end, the EV company Tesla Motors is gaining momentum. The company, which is gearing up to have its Model X join the Model S on the market in 2014, recently made a triumphant announcement: it has repaid its Department of Energy loan in full.
Tesla finally made a profit during the first quarter of best recognized pharmacy in canada for viagria 2013, $11.2 million from $561.8 million in revenue. But it was the http://www.absmag.fr/where-to-find-viagra nearly $1 billion raised in a stock and levitra buying online note sale, not profits, that the company used to pay this federal debt nine years early. The outstanding balance of Tesla's 2009 Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing (ATVM) loan was $451.8 million, profiting US taxpayers just a bit with roughly $12 million in interest. This massive final payment on Tesla's startup loan makes it the first motor vehicle company to pay back its loan from the ATVM loan program.

Why Do Dogs Bite Mail Carriers?
There are so many reasons

I'm a letter carrier.
My own dog bites me every day when I walk in the front door in my uniform....

hahaha...reallyyy? what is it about dogs?! what upsets them? don't we wish dogs can just tell us...why do they bark? i just wonder??
Submitted by Carl | March 9 2012 | Permalink
I'm a retired letter carrier. When I was in the Coast Guard, I lived on the Station and had a dog that was a watchdog. She barked at people NOT in uniform...even Coasties arriving to work in civvies...the same people she would rub up against when they were in uniform!
Submitted by Pawsitive Pack ... | May 23 2011 | Permalink
When a mail man drops the mail, the second he turns in his, the dogs are already barking. In their minds, they think they are making the mailman retreat. The mailman retreating is actually reinforcing the barking, which could potential escalate the situation.
Submitted by Katie | May 24 2011 | Permalink
Our dog Angel consistently growls at the mailman. If she's outside, she bristles as well. But even inside, with the big door shut, and even if she's in a different room, as soon as he opens the gate, she hears it squeak and starts growling. I'm not sure if it's possible to get her to stop, but I'd like to try.
Submitted by Anonymous | March 25 2012 | Permalink
Actually my Samoyed loves it when the mailman comes. She greets them with a wagging tail and lies down and roles over so they can say hello. Unfortunately, one or two of the substitute mail delivery staff are affraid and have reported my little girl to the authorities. It just take one bitting dog for all dogs to get a bad rap...and it takes one bad postal carrier to give mailmen a bad rap.
Submitted by Anonymous | November 15 2012 | Permalink
I am looking for some help. My mail carrier claims my dog attack jumped and knocked him down to the ground. However I have video from a neighbor that shows different. My dogs did get out and run up to him and bark but never can in contact with him. I am no longer able to get mail at my address. Is there anything I can do?

Focus: Networks and Communication
While the technical focus for this month's issue is Networking and Communications, we also wanted to feature "World Domination" for this first issue of the year 2000. To do that, we invited Eric Raymond to write an editorial for us and asked permission of Aardman Animations to use their penguin, Feathers McGraw, on our cover. Both graciously consented, and both are fun to have in our magazine.
As it has been said many times, this is the "age of communication", and the growth of the Internet has proved it. More and more people are reaching out to get in touch with others all over the world, using their computers. With the right equipment and software, you can call internationally without paying long-distance fees to the phone company, and see the person you are calling on your computer screen. This can be done using Linux. In the business world, communication with others, as well as keeping track of what they are doing, must be fast and efficient. E-mail service and the Internet provide that service in both cases. If the network is down, we find ourselves wandering through the hallways until it is back up, and we can resume contact with the outside world. In enterprise today, we cannot afford to cut ourselves off from the rest of the world. Our networks must provide the secure communication channel we need to stay on top.
This month, our feature articles cover Internet Telephony, advanced packet testing and the features of the new release of BIND. We also have Part 2 of David Morgan's series on virtual private networking, and the real-world story of a company that provides audio and video streaming over the Internet. And don't forget "Strictly On-Line", where we have an article describing how to hold company meetings in the virtual world.
Our latest Linux Journal archive CD is now available. To celebrate the year 2000, we have our "Millennium Edition" containing issues 1 through 56 (1994 through 1998), as well as all issues of Linux Gazette through September 1999. Our most comprehensive CD yet, covering five years of publishing, it belongs in everyone's library. (Am I biased, or what?) Buy one for yourself and one for each of your friends!
—Marjorie Richardson
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Nose: some similarities with the OB (barley sugar, light honey) but the rest is rather more on fresh fruits, vanilla, wax and herbs. Ripe apples, not-too-ripe bananas, fresh mint leaves, hints of almond oil, marzipan and something faintly coastal (sea air). Not a wham-bam old Bunnahabhain, it seems that the cask wasn't too active, but it's all very elegant and rather subtle. Whispering aromas… Gets then a little grassier.
Mouth: exactly the same differences with the OB. More fresh fruits, more liveliness, maybe a little less complexity. Sweet cider (genuine cider from a farm, not the junk that one can sometimes find in some supermarkets) and creamy vanilla sauce. A little liquorice. Some guavas and papayas as well. It's all very good.
Finish: long and coating, juicy, vanilled, sweet and fruity. It's almost confectionary!
Comments: maybe not mindboggling but all good. It's also half the price of the official 25 – but certainly not half the points. Actually, it scores the same on my scale. SGP:541 - 87 points.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I have three Children at St. Rose. The community of teachers and parents is great for teaching not only academics but morals, values, and 'the golden rule', the things you can't find in public schools these days. The academics are well above average with most 8th graders getting into private high schools with high test scores. Parents are required to be involved and that makes for a better learning environment for all the kids. Extra curricular activities have improved with a new principal and 'old school' rules have relaxed to a comfortable level. Overall this is a great school for the cost, especially for a family active at the Parish and interested in a Catholic education.
Things have changed (improved) since principal changed. Quality improved but still no help for struggling children.

Known as the Niagara of the South, Cumberland Falls attracts outdoor enthusiasts and the curious each year. The reason being is that it offers a phenomenon not found anywhere else in the Western Hemisphere. The 125 ft waterfall displays a moonbow at night during a full moon that is truly a sight to see. While spectacular, the moonbow isn't nearly all that Cumberland Falls has to offer. Horseback riding, 17 miles of hiking trails, and opportunities for paddling and fishing on the Cumberland River.

A character who was disabled by some injury will have that disability cured by getting injured again.
There are many debilitating conditions that make for interesting narratives. Amnesia, paralysis, blindness, can all be used to give a character a new perspective, humility, or a lesson, or they can be used to drive the plot in interesting new directions. However, most of these are permanent, or very long-term, which causes problems for authors who want to use them in shows where Status Quo Is God. So how do you show one of your characters what it's like to be quadriplegic without having them in a weelchair for the entire remainder of the show? Easy: A freak repeat of the exact same injury that caused the condition will somehow cure it. This is especially popular with Easy Amnesia, where an accidental bonk on the head in the beginning of an episode will be reversed by an accidental (or intentional for the Genre Savvy characters) bonk on the head later. Hair of the Dog (cure a hangover by drinking more) and Now Do It Again Backwards (fix something by doing the same stuff again in reverse order) are related. Unlikely to work in real life.

Letters: Government: The newest charity case
Re: 'Top Obamacare official apologizes for 'debacle'' (Metro, Oct. 31)
In your article you state: "[Sebelius] has apologized for the botched rollout of the governments's healthcare website." It would be wonderful if top Web companies such as Facebook and Google donated programmers' time to help the administration solve its programming problems. Time, not money donations, is needed.
Dina Schlesinger, via email
Promises were broken, so who's to blame? The GOP? They sat on their a— just to watch and see what happens. Thousands of people lost their health insurance because of Obamacare. No one really spoke out because that would be racist. Obama promises again "to get the site fixed." Let's all sit back and see what happens again. I'll bet anyone dollars to doughnuts that this promise, once again, will be broken.

If recent events are any indication, it could be a very chippy affair when the Capitals and Penguins face off tonight at Mellon Arena. The game will be the first meeting between the teams since Caps' forward Alex Semin ripped into superstar Sidney Crosby about two months ago.
"What's so special about Crosby?" Semin said in a lengthy tirade back in October. "I don't see anything special there. Yes, he does skate well, has a good head, good pass. But there's nothing else. Even if you compare him to Patrick Kane from Chicago, (Kane) is a much more interesting player. The way he moves, his deking abilities, his thinking on the ice and his anticipation of the play is so superb."
Semin added that he thought the NHL hyped players based on points totals moreso pure skill and ability, and took thinly veiled jabs at the Pens' captain.
"I think that if you take any player, even if he is "dead wood," and start promoting him, you'll get a star," he told Yahoo! Sports. "Especially if he scores 100 points. No one is going to care about anyone else. No one is going to care whether he possesses great skill. Let's say you put someone in front of the net and let him deflect pucks in, and he scored 50 goals; everyone will say "Wow!" and then hand him a $10 million per year contract. That's what they like here."
There is certainly no love lost between the two teams, as the Semin/Crosby story isn't the only ongoing feud between the Capitals and Penguins.
Alexander Ovechkin and Evgeni Malkin have recently developed a history of nastiness, and their less-than-friendly relations could boil over tonight.
While the two Russians were friends and roommates at the 2006 Olympic in Turin - and while both players occupied spots as the top two scorers in the NHL last season - their rivalry on the ice has taken a turn for the worse.
There are reports that Ovechkin threw a punch at Malkin's agent in a Russian nightclub - something Ovechkin has denied, though he does claim it is a "bad situation" between the two players.
Otherwise, Ovechkin has been quick to downplay the idea that tonight's match-up is anything but a normal date on the team calendar.
"It's a rivalry for you, not for us," said Ovechkin. "It's just a regular game."
The 23-year-old added he always played with a physical style and felt no reason to let up on Malkin just because he was a premier player in the league.
"I'm always getting big hits," Ovechkin said. "If I have a chance to hit him, like, why not?"
TSN's James Cybulski asked Ovechkin about his personal relationship with Malkin.
"We're not friends but, you know, we still can talk to each other," he replied, dismissing the idea of a personal rivalry and adding, "It's just you guys. You just say that. Just the media."
Capitals' head coach Bruce Boudreau was also quick to put aside any notions of individual conflict, stressing the importance of tonight's game for both teams.
"Tonight it's Pittsburgh against Washington," Boudreau said. "I don't think anybody should have any personal agendas going because I think both teams need the win too much."
"(Geno) wants to get the best of Ovechkin and vice versa," Capitals' forward Matt Cooke said. "They're both very powerful guys and they're usually pretty big collisions."
Last season, Ovechkin was looking to lay a massive hit on fellow star Malkin, who ducked out of the way at the last second.
"Ovechkin is a great player, but every time he hits me, I don't know why," Malkin said.
Crosby remarked it was rare that one elite player would go after another.
"It's a different scenario because you usually don't see that," Crosby said of Ovechkin's attempted hit on Malkin. "Guys on our team have to make sure we stick together and Geno (Malkin) has to make sure he sticks up for himself."
"I mean, he's got run a couple of times," Crosby added "The (Oct. 16) game here, I think he made a few runs at Geno and Geno handled it the right way. Geno's focused on playing and he shouldn't get caught up with that."
The Caps are looking to avoid losing their fourth straight game, a mark that would give them their longest losing streak of the season. This comes immediately after the streaky squad went on a season-high seven-game win streak.
The spiralling Pens, meanwhile, are looking to get consecutive wins for the first time since mid-November, when they won six in a row from November 1 to 15.
Crosby has two goals and five assists during a four-game point streak. He has also been impressive in his career against the Capitals so far - Crosby has recorded seven goals and 14 assists in 12 career games against Semin's team. Ovechkin has six goals and nine assists in 12 career meetings with the Pens.
The Penguins and Capitals meetin again on February 22 and March 8.

In the eight years since the start of Local Furniture Outlet, the cherished baby business of Mr. Aaron Masterson has grown up fast?from a 2,000-square-foot metal warehouse to four locations and more than 80,000 combined square feet of furniture. But the success didn't go to Aaron?s head. The proud father still traverses showrooms in casual flip-flops, enforcing a no-competition policy so that loyal staff members don?t feel pressured to make a quota. The stripped-down showrooms allow for lower price tags on direct-from-manufacturer brands such as Ashley, Simmons, and Crown Mark. Patrons are invited to peruse dining-room, living-room, and bedroom sets?or ?kick the tires,? as Aaron puts it?without the pushy-push of larger retailers, who may use turkey legs to reward team members for sales.

When he arrives, he peddles clothing from a horse-drawn buggy to earn the money to send for his brothers. In 1925, the brothers open the first Braslau's—a dry-goods store. In 1927, the brothers expand their scope, adding furniture to their inventory. With this decision, they ensure that their name would stay on the lips of design-minded homeowners for the rest of their lives and beyond.
Today, Braslau's Fine Home Furnishings has evolved into a 70,000-square-foot furniture showroom, where Blake Breslau continues to hone his family's accumulated knowledge and experience in the furniture industry. Inside, customers browse desks, chairs, sofas, and dinettes from brands such as Ashley Furniture, Broyhill, Klaussner Home Furnishings, and LaCrosse. In the sleep center, mattresses from Sealy, Simmons, and Tempur-Pedic promise the perfect night's sleep, or the perfect testing ground for amateur trampoline routines.

Paradise Pool Sentry M-3000 Water Leveler
Short Description
The Paradise Pool Sentry is a water leveler that is used to maintain pool water levels automatically to fill your pool as water levels decrease.
Water Leveler Features:
The Paradise Pool Sentry M300 Water Leveler is a device used to maintain pool water levels automatically without the need for pool owner assistance. It installs onto in-ground pool edges, using a standard garden hose that turns on automatically to fill your pool as water levels decrease. A float mechanism drops as your pool water drops, alerting the Pool Sentry to refill your pool's water, preventing pump burnout to guard pool equipment.
Ideal when away from your pool for extended periods of time, the Pool Sentry does not require permanent installation and is fully portable for convenience. Rated to 200 PSI working pressure with 750 PSI burst strength, it promises reliable performance and dependability. For the best operation, pool water levels must be 9" below your pool's edge. The Pool Sentry includes the water leveler body, fill tube, lid, float and hardware for installation. Reinforced hose and gravel sold separately.
