09:47 AM - March 7, 2006 by Steve_OS
Our resident "Racing Guru" and Contributing Writer, Terry Crouch has posted his review of GT Legends. Is it the real deal? Make sure you give it a read.
"The premise behind GT Legends is fairly straightforward; take the excellent physics engine from GTR FIA Racing (GTR), and apply it to classic cars from the 1960's and 70's. From the Austin Mini Coopers to the Ford Falcons and the Porsche 911, the car selection is a collection of some of the greatest racing machines in historic GT competition. But the retro metamorphosis didn't end with the vehicles. The menus, the music, and the font selection in GTL positively radiate the feel of the era. Feel and nostalgia are great, but what about the game itself? I'll skip right to the part that everybody wants to know… it's fantastic. One of the best racing titles I've had the pleasure of experiencing, actually."

South African native earns top spot in THQ AMA 125 East Supercross Series
PICKERINGTON, Ohio (April 11, 2005) ¿ Grant Langston, 22, earned his first AMA 125 Supercross title Saturday night in Pontiac, Mich. His fourth-place finish in the Silverdome on his Monster Energy Drink/Pro Circuit Kawasaki in the final round of the regional series was good enough to clinch the championship.
Langston ended the series tied in points with Josh Hansen, but won the title in a tiebreaker by having more wins. It marked the closest championship in the history of AMA 125 Supercross and was the first time the championship ended in a points tie.
Langston admitted that he was trying perhaps a bit too hard in the series final and could not find a good riding rhythm. A fourth place finish would secure the title, but towards the end of the race Steve Boniface moved up to challenge him. Had Boniface passed Langston it would have given the title to Pontiac winner Josh Hansen.
¿I did what I had to do, but just,¿ said Langston, who added a third AMA championship to his mantel. ¿I knew something was going on when my crew began waving towels frantically urging me to go faster. It was a little closer than I would have liked. I think the whole team aged about 10 years during that race.¿
Langston took three wins during the seven race 125 East Series en route to winning the title. He previously won the 2003 AMA 125 Motocross Championship as well as the 2004 AMA Unlimited Supermoto title. Langston also won the FIM 125 World Motocross Championship in 2000.
Langston said winning this title provided some vindication for him after suffering an injury plagued 2004.
¿Last year I had carpal tunnel surgery and then they found additional nerve damage,¿ Langston said. ¿I had no choice but to take time off. I sat around and did nothing. I gained a lot of weight, probably from depression. Fortunately I had a few people who were behind me 100 percent. I¿m glad I could come back and win the championship for those who never gave up on me.¿
The 125 East title puts to rest the reputation that Langston had as only a motocross specialist. ¿I always knew I could do well in Supercross,¿ he said. ¿To come back and win this championship is great. That was one of my goals for the year.¿
Langston¿s victory keeps the AMA 125 East Supercross championship in the Kawasaki camp. James Stewart won the series on a Kawasaki last year. It marks the sixth 125 East title for Kawasaki.
Langston becomes one of the pre-race favorites for the upcoming Dave Coombs Memorial 125 East/West Supercross Shootout in Las Vegas on May 7. He also hopes to earn back the AMA 125 Motocross Championship this summer.

Heat For Heroes United States' Military Veterans are among the least likely to come forward to ask for help in times of trouble, even when they find themselves facing life threatening situations. Pride is often the principle barrier for Veterans in receiving this much needed assistance. Recognizing this, in September, 2013, Energy Services, Inc. and the Keep Wisconsin Warm/Cool Fund launched its statewide Heat for Heroes Campaign! The Heat for Heroes Campaign is uniquely designed to avert life threatening energy related emergencies by helping struggling Veterans keep their heat and power on; while also providing adequate resource connections with other State, County and Veteran services for optimal, long-term household stability.

The Retrieva collar has been selected as the data collection system for a research project aimed at understanding dog movements as part of a control programme for reducing the incidence of rabies in Bhutan, a land-locked Kingdom north of India. The project is funded through the World Bank and is part of a wider programme looking into animal/human communicable diseases.
Over the last 6 months Retrieva have been working with Dr. Tenzin from the National Centre for Animal Health in Bhutan and Dr. Peter Jolly and his colleagues from Massey University in New Zealand on the use of the collar for this research project. The aim is to monitor the movement and home range of stray or feral dogs.
This type of research creates numerous practical challenges for academics and technology. The software and power management system within the collar has been enhanced specifically for the work. Communication challenges exist on the ground as to how data can be downloaded in a country with developing infrastructure.
A batch of Retrieva collars are now on the way to Bhutan for deployment in the field.
An exciting, new and enterprising MSc project is currently being undertaken using the Retrieva GPS tracking collars by postgraduate student Helen Reynolds at Manchester Metropolitan University.
This project is working in collaboration with the West Yorkshire Police Dog Unit and the British Association German Shepherd Club - Leeds branch, and is examining behavioural observations of dogs whilst being exercised off-lead in order to answer the research question 'Is there a relationship between personality traits, habit use and interactions with handlers in Police dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) compared to Pet dogs'.
This has never been done before and will be excellent primary research within the canine research domain as well as for pet owners and working dogs organisations. Helen is supervised by Dr. Matthew Sullivan and has almost completed all of the field work, and has just started the analysis phase. Final submission of the project will be in 2014."
The collar will change your relationship with your dog!
The Open University has found through research that dogs' behaviour changed positively, when a using the Retrieva tracking collar. The study said the stress of knowing the location of their pet dog when off the lead was minimised and resulted in the dog being given more freedom and becoming more contented.
The research was designed to explore human-animal interaction using the collar. The evaluation took two different forms: observation of the animals' behaviour and testimonials of their human companions.
When asked, many of the human participants recalled how distressing it had been for them when their dog had gone missing and since wearing the tracking collar the dogs were more relaxed because they were more relaxed. In addition, dogs returned to their owners independently and more frequently, despite their names not being called constantly during the walk.
The Study was conducted by Dr Clara Mancini, Research Fellow at the Computing Department of The Open University.

text: How Much Does Website Promotion Cost While digital marketing and internet business solutions are cheap, they still cost some money. To give you an idea on how much you have to invest, here is a handy guide on how much does website promotion cost. Using Google AdWords If you want to answer the question how much does website promotion cost, you have to talk about Google AdWords. It is one of the most famous and most used website promotion platforms around. The costing scheme for this is pretty straightforward. One only has to know that the amount of money they will pay is dependent on the keyword they will choose and how many clicks to they want. In AdWords, each keyword has a monetary value. The monetary value increases or decreases depending on how many people are using it. The more people using it, the more expensive it is. Once you select a keyword, you then have to decide how many clicks you want to your website. Do you want fifty? Do you want a hundred? Or do you want a thousand? Afterwards, multiply the keyword cost and then you will understand pretty much how much you shall spend. Don't worry. You can set a budget for each of your ad. If you wish to only spend a certain amount on any given day, you can design an ad that works with that amount. The great thing about AdWords is that's so friendly to use. Using Facebook Advertising Facebook advertising is a little bit different. It's a little less defined compared to Google AdWords. In this platform, one spends per post and usually one has to shell out the amount of money depending on how much likes, reactions, comments, shares and clicks a post gets. The amount per each click depends on the demographic and interest assigned to that post. The smaller the fan base is, the more expensive it is going to become. What's great with Facebook advertising though, is that each post that you pay for still get seen by thousands of people and one only pays every time there is an engagement. Is payment you made already has the results one wants. There are a lot of moving parts when it comes to the question how much does website promotion cost. If you need assistance, contact HABONEH today. Their experience in the industry provides them the opportunity to craft website promotion ads that are both powerful and cheap.

Mulroney makes waves in Midland
ANDREW PHILIPS/SPECIAL TO POSTMEDIA NETWORK Former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney signs a copy of his book for Midland resident Robert Nykyforak. Mulroney shared his recollections of a full political life during an event at the Midland Cultural Centre Wednesday afternoon.
MIDLAND -- Like many across Canada, former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney can't really believe what he's witnessing south of the border.
"In my lifetime, I have never, ever heard of or seen anything as bizarre as this election campaign," Mulroney told a capacity crowd attending the Midland Cultural Centre's popular A Day in the Life series Wednesday afternoon.
Mulroney said he knows both Democrat Hilary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump personally and has difficulty fathoming how the campaign has sunk so low.
"You'd think with what's been happening the last three weeks that Hilary Clinton would be ahead by 40 points, but she's not."
During a nearly 90-minute interview-like discussion led very effectively and efficiently by moderator Fred Hacker, Mulroney recounted his days growing up in Baie Comeau on Quebec's north shore to his political evolution while attending St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, as a booster for Tory leadership hopeful John Diefenbaker, who would go on to to win Canada's then-largest majority government.
"It was amazing what Diefenbaker did in 1958, but it never crossed my mind, ever, that I would replicate or surpass that success," he said.
Often funny and self-deprecating, Mulroney entertained those attending with his thoughts on life, love and politics along with providing the inside scoop on what it was like to win the largest majority government in the nation's history after his Progressive Conservatives captured 211 seats during the 1984 federal election.
The election featured a famous televised debate where Mulroney questioned several political appointments made by then Prime Minister John Turner. Mulroney told Turner, who had only months earlier replaced Pierre Trudeau in the top job, "'You had an option, sir. You could have said, 'I am not going to do it.'"
Prior to the debate, Mulroney was behind in the polls, but that exchange seemed to solidify his position. The next night, he was ahead by 20 points and never looked back.
"Pollster Allan Gregg said it was the greatest shift in polling in (Canadian) history," he said. "We got the biggest majority in history and it's all attributable to that debate."
And of course, Mulroney provided anecdotes relating to some of his government's most notable initiatives, including its work on the Canada-U.S. Free Trade Agreement, the GST and environmental record that at one time earned him the label as Canada's greenest-ever leader.
But one could also hear the sting of betrayal in his voice as Mulroney recounted how former Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Clyde Wells cancelled a vote on the Meech Lake Accord in 1990 that would have recognized Quebec as a 'distinct society,' just a day after Mulroney outlined its benefits to the province's legislature.
"I wanted to make the country whole, make the Constitution whole," he said, noting that failing to ratify the accord led to the eventual decision by Quebec's separatist politicians in 1995 to hold a referendum on whether the province should remain in Canada, resulting in a battle that saw Quebec stay part of the country by the narrowest of margins.
At times during the talk, Mulroney sounded like a man still on the hustings as he addressed the splintering of the Tories in the 1990s as the Reform Party took hold in western Canada.
"What did the Reform Party do, but create four Liberal governments?" he said, noting his government created myriad opportunities for the western provinces during his tenure so the split was really unnecessary.
Mulroney also recounted the friendship he enjoyed over the years with former U.S. President Ronald Reagan, who often publicly professed his love for his wife Nancy.
"I told him 'you know Ron you're going to have to stop this, you're causing problems for the rest of us. He said 'Brian's that's your problem.'"
But Mulroney also shared how enriched his life has been as a result of a chance meeting with his future wife, the then Mila Pivnički, after she walked by him wearing a bikini as he read a newspaper beside the pool at a Montreal tennis club.
And how has politics most changed since the days he was playing the game?
"When I was in office, there was no Internet, no 24-hour news," Mulroney said, noting he was watching the news with Mila one night at their Montreal home when a newscaster told viewers they could contact him via email.
"I said, 'honey, that's never going to work.'"
Afterwards, Mulroney said he likes what he sees so far in the young life of current Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberal government.
"A new government's got to be given a chance," he said. "I think they're doing well...much better than what's going on in the States."
As for how he would like to remembered by history, Mulroney said he hopes people will say that "he loved Canada and he did his best."

Appeltry Spelling Variations
The first dictionaries that appeared in the last few hundred years did much to standardize the English language. Before that time, spelling variations in names were a common occurrence. The language was changing, incorporating pieces of other languages, and the spelling of names changed with it. Appeltry has been spelled many different ways, including Apeltree, Apoltree, Appletree, Apeltry, Apeltrie, Appeltry, Appoltry and many more.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
Thousands of English families in this era began to emigrate the New World in search of land and freedom from religious and political persecution. Although the passage was expensive and the ships were dark, crowded, and unsafe, those who made the voyage safely were rewarded with opportunities unavailable to them in their homeland. Research into passenger and immigration lists has revealed some of the very first Appeltrys to arrive in North America: Richard Appletree who arrived in Virginia in 1652.

Justice Dept. Opposes Network Neutrality
Associated Press
The Justice Department said yesterday that Internet service providers should be allowed to charge extra for priority Web traffic.
The agency told the Federal Communications Commission, which is reviewing high-speed Internet practices, that it is opposed to network neutrality, the principle that all Internet sites should be equally accessible to any Web user.
Several phone and cable companies, including AT&T, Verizon Communications and Comcast, want the option to charge some users more money for loading certain content or Web sites faster than other content. Supporters of neutrality laws, including Google and Yahoo, argue that network operators should treat all Web services equally. (link)
I can't imagine paying for the "premium" service. But these guys are capitalists and deserve to make a buck. Or billions.
Here's to the Justice Department's decision.

What made my jaw drop were some of the points like one can lose their virginity from athletics and also riding a bicycle, some were of the opinion a condom has tiny holes in it and since our phase 2 of the project has a life skills component to it, I will definitely be bringing in a sexual and reproductive health expert to clarify some of those thoughts.
Also if anyone reading this is an expert on something you feel would be beneficial to the students, kindly get in touch with me.

frantic photographs signed in moonlight
most likely make her cry
he always leaves them
in a telephone message,
on his LP's back cover
instead of casual kisses
light on black death scene,
where their colors are
absurd, lace love
& telegram tiptoeing
voices, in nasty sunshine
remind her a favorite
rock star, forgotten in relations,
on tour in Holland
enjoying offerings of the road
with the queen of dandies
she'll see him in Paris
he said don't you worry
I leave you with B side, track six
I cut just for you
where with Tibetan sound palettes
& moog
I paint you physically
in sax party scarf
& your sister's heels
when we met in Berlin
but the world got smaller
since then
c'est the bridge, same old
quarter, where's you?
I remember a photo
of your
youth's role model
sexy, with a big fat joint
advertising collective uprising
& I hope it was her voice
on an old scratched record
that said
"umdrehn, bitte umdrehn…"
all night long
forcing the famous
to collapse
booming in the majesty
of nature

China And Russia Dump The U.S. Dollar
November 24. 2010
Russia's Vladimir Putin and China's Premier Wen Jiabao
In a sad but foreseeable turn of events, China and Russia have dumped the U.S. dollar as their nation's international currency of choice. The U.S. greenback was universally accepted as the world's official currency. However, the global economic downturn that began in America in 2008, due to corruption and fraud in the corporate sector, has caused a number of nations to rethink their financial strategies, as a means of protection.
This news does not bode well for the dollar. For well over a year, the Judiciary Report repeatedly warned that excessive Obama Administration spending, coupled with the rampant fraud in the corporate sector, which the FBI and SEC refuses to clean up, would have disastrous effects. This is just the tip of the iceberg.

the Dark side of Finland
Here is an excerpt from the, now, 3. edition of Warren McLachlan's book.
Warren & Kaisus first son William McLachlan, born in Australia on the 12th.
Kaisu begins to Punish William at 2 weeks of age - starting with flicking him in the head with her finger if he refuses to obey her.
Before William is 1 year old Kaisus punishment increases to pinching; biting; slapping and screaming at him like a Banshee.
99 - 01
Kaisus mistreatment of William intensifies.
My attempts to correct Kaisus behaviour only provoke her.
Kaisu takes William and unborn Mikael to Finland to visit her family for Christmas, I was not invited.
Kaisu phoned me from Finland and told me she was pregnant with our second son Mikael.
Kaisu phoned me that she was too sick to fly home.
Kaisu phoned me that she was too pregnant to fly home.
Mikael is Born on the 20th in Finland.
Kaisu tells me she will be home after the Christening.
Kaisu tells me she has applied for Divorce.
Kaisu promises me Marriage Counselling, but only if I come to Finland.
I am in Finland.
Kaisu tells me that she only promised me Marriage Counselling to delay a Hague Application for International Child Abduction.
Kaisu denies me the right to take William home to Australia.
I become aware that Psychiatrists; Psychologists and Social Workers (Psychs) are caring for my Children.
This is how an unimaginable tragedy began, which has not ended to this very day. One of the boys was placed in a foster home three years ago, where he has better conditions than in the childrens home, but the medication, up to five different ones at the same time, continues uninterrupted. What sort of disease these boys have, apart from separation anxiety, is not exactly clear. For the neutral observer, little stands out as diseased from the descriptions given by the father or as quoted of the psychiatric professionals.
Separating a child from its parents is a serious matter I think most of you will agree with. I don't write so much for the discussion, as to hear if someone has any tips or advice, if you know someone who speaks Finnish or has time to sign his petition.
The book can be found by Google. Type: the Dark Side of Finland.
Link to the petition can be found at OccupyYourself.webs on the News section
There's an interview with him at Red Ice Creations
There's an appeal I wrote and sent to about 90% of Finnish online media at OccupyYourself.webs

text: I haven't had a chance to try Row 34 which I'm sure I'd love, but I feel the need to reaffirm my fealty to the ever-pleasing Lineage which is still one of my favorite neighborhood bistros. The seafood trio with three selected wines is always so good and I consider it a great value at a bit above $50.00. When we get there early, the staff is consistently kind about serving us the oysters at our table at bar prices (a dollar an oyster for beautifully chilled and chucked Island Creeks). I find their salmon tartare consistently the best and, while I've occasionally quibbled about whether the fish is slightly overcooked for my taste, it is always impeccably fresh and beautifully garnished. I've never had anything but welcoming service and I can hear myself think and talk to my companions. When places have been so consistent over time they run the risk of being eclipsed by the "new new thing." So I am reaffirming my love of this place and my gratitude that it is so easily in my orbit.

hope that can make a day trip to paris.... how should i adjust my itinerary ???
Report Abuse
I never know quite what to make of itineraries like this one. Lots of good stuff on it but with as many days as you have to do them do you really need to know exactly which day you'll do what.
My preference is more of a free form list with addresses, tube stops, open hours, days closed. Then while I'm having my first cup of tea I think, what do I feel like today. Often I don't get everything on the list done but every day I've done exactly what I felt like doing and that seems to me more the point. I recommend it.

One suggestion, Dennis Severs' House (fantastic):
Report Abuse
see my post on your other thread.
Report Abuse
You have grouped the sites by area, which is good, but you also have packed a lot into each day. For example, on Day 3 you are going to 3 museums and Kensington Palace, all of which are open from about 10 AM-6PM. That's a lot for 8 hours. Plus Winter Wonderland, which is open from 10 AM-10PM. Whew!
I think one of the biggest mistakes travelers often make is trying to pack too much into their first trip. You have given yourself very little free time each day. But everyone travels differently, and as long as you have the opening and closing times of each site, then you can adjust your schedule as your trip progresses. Perhaps decide which things that you most want to see, and decide which ones are on your "B" list.
Are you traveling over the Christmas holidays? If so, keep in mind that most museums will be closed December 24-26. Also keep in mind that daylight hours will be very short in December and weather will be chilly, which may affect some of your "walking around" time.
A lot of people frown upon long day trips, but I have done them several times. I would rather see a lttle bit of a city than none at all, so if you really want to go to Paris, then do it. Hard to say which day you should cut in order to do that.
You are obviously a museum buff, but I would probably cut Day 11. Or cut Somerset House and London Transport Museum, and combine National Gallery/Trafalgar Square and National Portrait Gallery with Covent Garden. Unless you are buying half-price tickets or going to the cinema, I would skip Leicester Square altogether.
Many people advise first-time visitors to skip Madame Tussaud's, but I did it on my first trip with no regrets. Same with Harrods. Not a fan of the London Eye, but most visitors like it, so you should do it and form your own opinion. The aquarium wouldn't be a must-see for me on a first trip, but again, everyone is different.
I doubt that you will be able to do everything on this list, but that's okay. Just enjoy the sights that you are able to see, remain flexible, and you will have a great time. Good luck to you!
Report Abuse
As Walkabout said -- some of your days are grouped OK.
But not all. For example >>10th :london eye, sea life aquarium, madame tussauds ( because this is one day ticket), Harrods.<< Has you jumping from the your hotel to the Southbank to Marylebone, to Knightsbridge
And as i mentioned on an earlier post on your other thread, that Golden Tour costs £100 (actually £98 if you get the discount) which is a heck of a LOT of £££. Of the tour's 8 hours total - at least 3 hours will be on the coach. Central London to Hampton Court to Windsor and back to central London. Leaving you less than 5 hours - probably more like 4 hrs in 'real life' - for touring the Castle and the Palace. Neither site can be 'done' in 2 hours, but that is how much time you'll have. And paying £100 to get just a glimpse would be a huge waste IMO.
Just go to HCP on your own one day. Easy peasy by train. Then IF you decide you have time for it, another day take the train to Windsor.
Report Abuse
I must admit I don;t plan this way - just have a list of what I want to see/do and when things are open. Then decide when to do what bsed on the weather and how late we;ve been up the night before.
I think you will have to be the energizer bunny to do all of the thngs on that list - and you won;t have time to do justice to many of them. Day 3 in particular is 2 to 3 days worth of stuff.
Also - I don;t see any evening activities. What shows wil you be seeing? Eat before or after? Still get up at 8 the next AM? (I must admit part of vacation for me is sleeping late some days and breakfast in bed.)
Report Abuse
Yeah, here are some suggestions: stop listing museums to visit and decide what you want to see and why. If you live in NY or Chicago or DC, you don't need to visit a Natural History or Science museum. Similarly, if you live somewhere that has a decent aquarium, why visit the SeaLife Aquarium? It's not like it is some world-renowned aquarium like the one in New Orleans or Barcelona.
Considering that every site will be on winter hours, I have no idea how you can do the day 5 itinerary (and it's the Thames, not themes).
What does "Bus tour for 3 hours" mean on day 2? If it's the hop on hop off, skip it - it costs a bundle and you can see whatever you want by regular London transport for a fraction of the cost.
Do you realize that the Tate Modern and the Tate Britain are not close to each other?
Leicester Square and Soho are thisclose to Covent Garden - the distance between the Leicester Square and Covent Garden stops on the Piccadilly Line is the shortest between two stations on the whole Tube. If you intend to visit them, you don't need to do so on different days.
The London Bridge is a cement arch bridge of neither cultural nor architectural significance. The original London Bridge (that was falling down) is in Arizona somewhere. The iconic bridge near the Tower is the Tower Bridge.
The Golden Tour is a rip off. Take the train from Waterloo rail station to Hampton Court Palace and spend some time there. You have more than enough time to drop something(s) else (Somerset House, Madame Tussaud's, Tate Modern and its modern "art") and take a 1/2 day trip to Windsor.

Buckingham Palace, The Queen's Gallery and the Royal Mews aren't open in December unless you have a private ticket??
The London Eye - consider day / dusk / evening flight
The Churchill War Rooms may be of interest
Report Abuse
I agree with the others that, while you've done some good planning in terms of geography, you are trying to cram a LOT into a lot of these days.
Some notes on your plans:
1st day : arrive London gatwick at 2300 hrs, ( stay at gatwick central hotel)
2nd days : gatwick express to victoria ( hostel check in at 2pm):bus tour for 3 hours
I believe there is a cheaper train to Victoria - do a search here for either Southern or First Capital Connect trains, I can't remember which. The Gatwick Express is nice, but not necessary unless you have a ton of luggage. Like BigRuss, I'm not a fan of the hop-on-hop-off tours in cities with great public transport. You could easily use almost the entire day to sightsee - many of the places on the tours are already on your itinerary anyway.
3rd day : natural history museum, science museum, V&A , kensington palace, winter wonderland.
This is fine for planning, but I would be completely museum-ed out. I'd prioritize these and accept that you'll either be running through all of them or won't make it to more than a couple.
4th day : westminster abbey, walking around house of parliament, walking around south bank, tate modern and tate britain.
I think you'll have to pick one of the Tates, at least if you only have one day to see both. The Modern is probably more of interest to a lot of people, but it's personal choice. Opening hours will also make this a bit rushed, since by the time you walk around Parliament and the South Bank after Westminster Abbey, you'll have more limited time to get to whichever Tate you choose and look around.
5th day : st james park, buckingham palace, queen gallery, royal mews, walking around st james palace, green park to westminster for themes river to greenwich
The palaces will be walk-bys - you can't get into St. James at all, and Buckingham is only open during August and September. Personally I wouldn't want to take a boat ride in December. Basically, I think you could cut this day and do your trip to Paris instead. You can see Buckingham Palace on day 11; it's only a five-minute walk from Trafalgar Square.
6th : st paul's cathedral, monument, tower of london, london bridge, city hall
As BigRuss mentioned, you're likely thinking of the Tower Bridge. Is there something you want to see at City Hall?
7th: golden tour to windsor castle and hampton court palace.
If the Golden Tour really costs that much, I agree - skip it. There are tons of threads here about getting to both these places on your own, though not in one day during the short days of December.
8th: somerset house, london transport museum, covent garden
This would also be a good day to cut. These are good places but not top of my list. Covent Garden can be easily combined with day 11.
9th : ( personal meet up friends),
10th: london eye, sea life aquarium, madame tussauds ( because this is one day ticket), Harrods.
The Eye is fun, but like others, I'd skip everything else. Personal choice, though. If Harrods is a must, it's much closer to Kensington Palace than anything else you have scheduled for this day.
11th : leicester square , national gallery,national portrait gallery, trafalgar square, china town.soho
Leicester Square will take 5-10 minutes - there's really not much to see. You could do Covent Garden on this day as well. Again, two museums in one day might be tough depending on your tolerance. I'm not sure there's much to actually see in Soho, but you're right there so not a problem to walk around.
12 : british museum, british library, wellcome collection.
13th : half day only ( play around oxford street) back to gatiwick airport by gatwick express.
Report Abuse
When going to Westminster Abbey you should also see the Churchill War Rooms which is very close by.
You mentioned on the previous post you have the LP.
You can do the Tower of London, Tower Bridge, and take the city cruise to Westminster Pier on the same day. You won't have time for the Abbey but may have time for Churchill depending on closing times in the winter.
From St Paul's you can cross the millenium bridge and arrive at Tate Modern. Take a peek and then a few blocks away is the Shakespeare Theater which is covered under the LP since you want to make use of the pass.

"british museum, british library, wellcome collection"
Danielle, Do you mean the "Wallace Collection"? Fabulous, not far from Marble Arch off Oxford Street. But I think that it would be hard to appreciate on the same day that you "do" The British Museum and British Library.
Good luck, obviously you have done your homework but do not be disappointed if you can't do it all in one trip…

i am going on early december,and between, i am not a lover of museum, might can skip certain museum, only go for 1 or 2 museum

If you are not a lover of museums, and only plan to go to 1 or 2, why do you have at least 15 of them listed on your itinerary?
Did you not realize that these places are museums??

Russian doll with a twist
I don't know what the twist is exactly, but this is quite an old but much loved dress that always makes me feel like I'm one of those Russian Babushka dolls. And you know what is amazing: until I saw these photos I'd never noticed that there was a large yellow flower on the front of the dress... I thought it had the spots and geometric patterns all over it?!!
This outfit seemed like a good antedote to all the masculine chic looks I've been wearing recently; my legs need to remember what freedom feels like now and then (I still kept them clad in tights though). With all the warm weather that's creeping up on us they might even find out what air feels like before long... not without a spray tan first however: things that white might blind you lovely people ;)

If you or someone you love has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, chances are you have more questions than answers. A Michigan mesothelioma lawyer can explain your legal options – and potentially help you win compensation that can be used to ease the financial burden that's been placed on you and your family.
Michigan Mesothelioma Lawyer: The Importance of Seeking Legal Action
At Sokolove Law, our Michigan mesothelioma lawyers can help you get the compensation – and the justice –to which you're entitled. The funds from a potential asbestos settlement could be used to cover your medical costs—or provide for your loved ones if you should ultimately lose your fight against mesothelioma. A settlement may also provide the closure that comes with knowing that those responsible for your asbestos exposure have been held accountable.
Finding the Right Michigan Mesothelioma Lawyer
Statewide, Sokolove Law's experienced Michigan mesothelioma lawyers have helped clients obtain more than $117 million in gross mesothelioma settlements to date. Our wins include:
A settlement of $4,952,082 obtained on behalf of a 58-year-old man diagnosed with mesothelioma.
A settlement of $4,264,319 obtained on behalf of a 68-year-old man diagnosed with mesothelioma.
A settlement of $3,174,422 obtained on behalf of a 60-year-old woman diagnosed with mesothelioma.
Every case is different, and prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome or any other future results. Recovery results and amounts, if any, vary per client and based on the specific facts of the case.
Michigan Mesothelioma Lawyer: Lawsuit Limitations
If you're thinking about hiring a Michigan mesothelioma lawyer, you should be aware that Michigan's statute of limitations could affect your right to file a claim. The statute of limitations is the period of time you have until it is "too late" to file a claim against those responsible for your asbestos exposure.
Because of the statute of limitations, you should reach out to a qualified Michigan mesothelioma lawyer as soon as possible after diagnosis.

If you were exposed to asbestos and have been diagnosed with mesothelioma or another asbestos disease, contact Sokolove Law at 1-888-360-4215 for a free case evaluation.

The ICD-10 deadline is set for October 1, 2015—but will it stick?
The deadline has been pushed out twice before, of course, and industry experts are holding their collective breath waiting to see whether Congress will once again delay implementation of the new code set.
The House overwhelmingly approved a fix for Medicare's Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR) without any change to the ICD-10 deadline, which was a relief to those hoping to implement ICD-10 this year. But then the U.S. Senate adjourned for a two-week recess on March 27 without acting on the legislation designed to eliminate SGR.
Last year a delay of the ICD-10 deadline was added to the SGR fix bill at the last minute, and delayed the new code until 2015 at what was viewed as the eleventh hour.
Experts predict that the SGR fix will pass when the Senate reconvenes.
The bill passed by the House, known as H.R.2, the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015, would, among other provisions:
- Repeal the SGR formula
- Provide physicians with guaranteed annual 0.5% increases in Medicare reimbursements through 2019 and maintain them at the 2019 level through 2025
- Consolidate the Meaningful Use, Physician Quality Reporting System and Value-based Modifier programs into one program known as the Merit-based Incentive System, through which physicians and other professionals could earn additional payment adjustments
- Make an additional $7.2 billion available to community health centers over the next two years
Observers had worried that another ICD-10 delay would make its way into the SGR fix because of reports that Rep. Pete Sessions (R-Tex.), chair of the House Rules Committee, had been meeting with physicians and "discussing how ICD-10 will affect all parties in the medical community."
Fortunately, those discussions have not so far led to legislation delaying the ICD-10 implementation date. However, a recent article in Healthcare IT News pointed out that there are at least three potential ways that Congress could still kill ICD-10, and they wouldn't be any more surprising than the way the delay came about in 2014. So while most in the HIT community believe ICD-10 will happen this year, they are also taking a wait and see approach while encouraging practices to continue preparing for the transition.
Regardless of whether the ICD-10 deadline is moved, MediTouch is ICD-10 ready and has been since December 2013. One of the many benefits of a web-based EHR is that updates such as ICD-10 can be implemented instantly and without any cost to the practice. Plus, MediTouch provides an in-system tool that suggests appropriate ICD-10 codes based on the ICD-9 codes you have selected, making the transition that much easier.
Find resources that will help you prepare your practice for ICD-10 in our recent blog post, How to Prepare for the ICD 10 Deadline Without Blowing Your Budget.

Establishing a good relationship with a reliable company for greater Twin Cities HVAC repair is very important. The hot summer months are right around the corner, after all. We at Aabbott Ferraro comprehend the importance of having a good relationship with our clients in Woodbury and beyond. Priding ourselves on our quality customer service, we want to make sure the feeling is mutual, that our customers are happy with our service. If your air conditioning system needs a look before kicking into gear this summer, choose us for your HVAC review and repair needs!
The following is a list of the most common HVAC repair types you may encounter for your unit:
• Blown Fuses-Fuses defend the unit's motor or compressor against overheating. They are found in the evaporator coil.
• Worn Contactor-Three contactors per unit, one for the compressor, one for the condenser fan motor, and one for the blower motor. The contactors connect when there is a need for cooling or heating, setting an electrical connection. This begins to run the compressor and motors.
• Capacitors- The run capacitor helps the motors run at consistent speeds, rated in microfarads. The start compressor provides a brief increase in starting torque.
• Gas valve- The gas valve meters the gas flow from your gas line to your system. Only used during the heating season.
• Filters-Filters air particles. Change it out once dirty. One way to tell if the filter needs to be changed is to hold it up to the light and see if you can see light pass through it.
• Thermostat- This is the device that tells the system what to do and when to do it, at what temperature both heat and cool kick on when set for such.
• Drain lines- Drain line frequently become blocked with dirt or algae.
• Refrigerant leak- Refrigerant leaks occur with vibration of the unit during operation.
• Compressor- The heart of the A/C unit, located with the condenser coil.
• Condenser Coil- Located outside, along the compressor. Exposed to the outdoor elements, they often get dirty and should be cleaned at least yearly.
• Evaporator Coil- On split systems the evaporator coil is located in the attic, but on a package unit it is located outside with rest of the unit.

Mixed Greens, Jicama and Avocado Salad with CIlantro Lime DressingAugust 21, 2013
So it just keeps getting crazier. On top of moving into a new place, and starting a new job, our daughter was born on Sunday night.
I'm taking a little time off and have this absurd idea that I'll be able to get to the backlog of posts I have in draft on Blogger.
Here's a super simple salad that I served with the Tilapia and Mole Poblano a few months ago. Right now, field greens are abundant in our CSA. So are corn and scallions. At the time, we were also getting a ton of radishes.
The most interesting part of this dish is probably the jicama. Most people aren't famliar with jicama....though it's the workhorse of any Latin American crudité plate. Crunchy, high in moisture content and very mildly flavored. I think it's fantastic for moving hummus from plate to mouth. Shaved, it's also great in salad.
Rounding out the salad are some toasted sunflower seeds, avocado slices and cheddar cheese.
Dressing? With all of this Mexican and Latino influence, something cilantro-based would only be appropriate. Check out my Cilantro-Lime Salad Dressing and enjoy!

Merger Control With Transfers from the Capital Gains Tax and Asset Divestments
In a Cournot model of takeover under asymmetric information, we identify a link between efficiency gains and structural remedies, we show that more efficient Insiders are asked to divest a bigger part of their assets. Aware that a unique tool is insufficient to make Insider revealing their type, we allow the Antitrust Agency to choose the mix of cash and stock used as payment for the target, which indirectly defines a transfer. Relying on the medium of paiement literature we show that the merger is even more costly for Insiders when the amount of cash in the mix bid is more important, because of capital gains tax compensations. We introduce a relevant limited liability problem in the model, since the AA cannot ask higher transfers than those underlying to the all cash procedure. In this context we show that inefficient Insiders divest more than their First Best and make an all cash offer, whereas efficient Insider divest their First best and incorporate less cash in the global bid.

ECW Book of Remembrance Memorial Scholarship Fund
The Book of Remembrance Scholarship Fund provides scholarships for lay and ordained women of the diocese to do graduate study in areas related to church work, special ministries, and helping professions. Funds are also available for short-term non-degree training in workshops, special seminars and skills training, in church related or social service fields.
The Book of Remembrance, started in 1926 by women of the diocese, is a listing by parish of deceased women whose congregations want to honor their memory. The request for entry of a name can be submitted by a congregation, ECW or individual, along with a donation of at least $15. Donations are added to a trust fund which provides the scholarships.
Every parish benefits from the work of women who serve God and church without thought of reward. We hope that your congregation or ECW will support the Book of Remembrance Memorial Scholarship Fund and honor the memory of cherished deceased women of your congregation by submitting their names for inclusion in the Book of Remembrance. The names of women added to the Book by August 31 are read during the celebration of the Eucharist at the annual ECW conference held each Fall, at which time the Book is placed on display.
Checks should be payable to Book of Remembrance. Scholarship applications should be requested in time to submit them by March 1. Applications for assistance for short-term training can be submitted at any time.

text: First off, thanks to kramerica for letting me know it was safe to do this. Plenty of other people have complained about this same problem and commented on the "Mysterious Case" that is supposed to fit into the dock. I got tired of taking my case off every time i put my phone into the Motorola Car dock. Well i like my case, so i changed my dock. The dock still works perfectly, the phone sits all the way down, and it charges perfectly. Took all of 15 minutes (with 5 minutes of searching for my Dremel). Relatively simple, and doesn't diminish the look of your dock at all as the phone covers it up. EDIT: How to: 1) Take out the insert for using the dock without a case. 2) I personally used my dremel with the sanding tip to take off the big nub in the first pic 3) Slightly edge the front right part out. I used the dremel with a small tip cutting edge that is used for engraving 4) Keep grinding it out/testing until you get a snug fit that allows it to charge Just be a little more careful with the dremel and don't knick the front like i did It looks a lot worse in the picture than it does in my truck though

Washington is 5-0 against the NL Central, 5-0 in game one of a series, and 12-2 in Foster's last 14 starts as a home favorite. Cincinnati is 4-10 in game one of a series, 17-43 in their last 60 road games, and 1-4 against the NL East. Cincinnati is 4-1 in their last five games against Washington.
Fister hasn't been good but the Nats are red hot and the Res ice cold so while I don't love this I will take Washington.

|Re: persistent compaction issue (1.1.4 and 1.1.5)

There are a large number of members in generation 0, which I'm assuming refers to L0 according to a few of the .json files I checked in my largest column families.

Become a Caregiver
Personal Care Aide
Anyone who has any familiarity with the home health field knows just how important Personal Care Assistants (PCAs) are. PCAs are a vital piece of great in-home care and, because they serve double duty as emotional and physical support for both clients and their families, they are some of the most respected and needed caregivers in the entire home health field.
What is a PCA?
Sometimes called caregivers, PCAs are professionals who provide care and assistance to sick, disabled, elderly, or fragile individuals. PCAs work in a home care environment and dedicate themselves to assisting individuals with daily activities such as using the bathroom, preparing or eating meals, executing hygiene and grooming habits, taking medication, bathing, and completing housework or other chores.
PCAs also act as an important source of companionship for their clients and often join elderly or disabled individuals at community events or appointments, help them with arts or crafts, or play games with them. PCAs may also provide transportation, and in some cases, may live on-site with their clients.
PCAs are typically hired when the needs of an individual become too much for family or friends to manage without extra assistance. Because PCAs are professional caregivers, they are able to tend to an individual's unique needs with uninterrupted focus and dedication, which is often something busy family members and friends cannot manage in the later stages of disability or illness.
Because of this, PCAs are amazingly important to both the affected individual and his or her friends or family. By hiring a PCA, families can rest assured their loved one is adequately cared for and has a compassionate, capable, trained individual around at all times.
What are the Qualifications for Becoming a PCA?
While there are no specific educational requirements to become a PCA, the grand majority of PCAs do have a high school diploma when they begin training. Unlike many other job fields, PCAs complete much of their training on-site under the supervision of registered nurses or other experienced caregivers.
Individuals who want more training have the option of participating in certification programs offered through the National Association for Home Care and Hospice. This voluntary certification program is a great way for PCAs to gain experience and expertise early in their careers. No matter what type of training they choose to undergo, all PCAs learn how to care for clients, administer medication and perform basic CPR/First Aid tasks. In order to confirm their knowledge and prove their competency, caregivers may be asked by their employer to study for and complete a competency evaluation.
PCA Training
Even though becoming a PCA requires no formal education, that does not mean it does not require any training. Because PCAs are asked so frequently to undertake potentially dangerous or physically stressful tasks, such as moving clients and dealing with mentally impaired individuals, they undergo extensive training before entering the job field. Again, the program offered through the National Association for Home Care and Hospice is an option, and most PCAs complete certification programs that require 40-75 hours of supervised, formal training.
During their training, PCAs will learn about topics involving death and dying, physical, mental, and developmental disabilities, gerontology and general care. Students will also learn to take blood pressure readings, monitor pulse and temperature, provide basic emergency medical treatment, utilize universal precautions, administer medication, change bandages, and control communicable disease and infection risk. Depending upon the client they are asked to care for, PCAs may also learn bathing skills, sanitary housekeeping, grooming, and cooking for special diets.
Job Requirements of a PCA
A PCA's job is varied and far-reaching, and as such PCAs need a variety of skills to be proficient. These skills are as follows:
Concern Over Detail
While every client is different, some individuals need to maintain regular, timely schedules or routines. This may mean administering medication several times a day, or following specific dietary or physical rules. Because of this, the proficient PCA must possess an unwavering attention to detail.
People Skills
It is obvious that a PCA needs good interpersonal skills. Every client the PCA cares for has a separate and unique set of needs, and the PCA must be able to interact well with a variety of clients, even when said clients are difficult, confused, depressed or fragile. PCAs must be sensitive, compassionate, patient, and empathetic.
Physical Strength
Being a PCA is a demanding job and caregivers must possess a formidable level of physical strength and ability in order to succeed. They are often required to move patients, assist them into and out of wheelchairs or bed, help them into the bathtub or into a car, or pick a client up after a fall. These things require strength and PCAs must be in good physical condition.
Good Time Management Skills
Because PCAs are required to manage not only their own schedules (which may include several clients) but the schedules of their clients as well, good PCAs must have great time management skills. Their jobs often require ensuring clients wake up on time, make it to appointments, and take their daily medication, as well as making sure meals are administered on a regular basis.
Daily Requirements of a PCA
When it comes to the daily life of a PCA, the requirements vary widely. If the PCA lives with the client, he or she may begin the day by helping the client wake up, bathe, get dressed and complete routine procedures like brushing teeth and applying makeup or shaving. The PCA may help the client cook a meal or, if the client is incapable, may prepare a meal for the client, helping him or her to eat it and cleaning up afterwards.
Throughout the day, the PCA may do everything from changing the client's sheets to taking the client out to run errands, see friends, attend appointments, or engage in social activities. If the client is house-bound, the PCA may run errands for the client and will often complete the client's grocery shopping and fill his or her prescriptions. The PCA may spend time with the client's friends or family, or alternately, may leave the house when friends and family arrive in order to allow for private time between loved ones.
In certain cases, the PCA may split care of a client with the client's friends or family, meaning the PCA cares for the client during the nighttime hours while family members care for the client during the day or part of the day. This is very common and depends entirely upon the client's individual needs and assistance requirements.
PCAs: An Important Piece of Home Health Care
PCAs are compassionate, generous individuals who dedicate themselves to caring for people in need. As such, PCAs are by far one of the most important aspects of the home health care field. Thanks to their far-reaching skills and highly fluid job descriptions, PCAs are an important form of mental, physical, social and emotional support for elderly or disabled individuals as well as their family and friends.
