Cottage | 2 bedrooms | sleeps 4
|Key Info
Ty-Mawr is an impressive detached self catering stone farmhouse in Llanuwchllyn just outside Bala in North Wales. This part of North Wales is very popular with adventure sport enthusiasts and hopefully you'll find this cottage a perfect base from which to explore.
There's a nice well equipped country style kitchen diner complete with a very attractive and locally crafted oak table. A modern oven and electric hob as well as a dishwasher, microwave, large double drainer sink etc are all included. The washer dryer is in the adjacent storage shed / extension. This storage shed is secure and there's plenty of room in there for boots, bikes or even wind surfers.
Two leather sofas sit in a large comfortable lounge in this self catering stone farmhouse. The paintings that adorn the walls are by a locally renowned artist and depict the beauty of this rural area. The log fire is naturally very welcome after a day of walking in the hills or sailing across lake Bala. A large flat screen TV should help entertain when the weather might be against you.
A nice feature of this property is the second lounge or study next door. If you've lost the battle for the remote control you might like to retire gracefully to this area and read a book in front of a second warming log fire.
Only two bedrooms upstairs which may seem strange for such a large property. One twin bedroom and one double bedroom. There is a sofa bed in that study if you wanted to invite some extra guests however.
Both the bedrooms enjoy fantastic views over the rolling hills and mountains of this rich and fertile part of North Wales. The curtains, linen and ornaments are all tastefully chosen and complement the cottage nicely.
I've left the best room till last. The bathroom is fantastic. It's huge and dominated by a large freestanding roll top bath which looks out on that lovely view we talked about. There are of course no neighbors to worry about in this secluded self catering stone farmhouse. There's also a separate walk in shower and a nice white bathroom suite.

About this location
The North Wales region
The village of Llanuchllyn on the southern tip of Llyn Tegid (Bala Lake) is just over a mile away. The steam train that runs along the edge of the lake sets off from here. The village is also home the famous Eagle Pub. There's a short cut across the fields back to the cottage, but don't forget to bring a torch.
Bala itself is a 5 minute drive away and is a charming example of a welsh market town. A wonderful mix of traditional welsh culture and contemporary shops and cafés. The surrounding area has long established itself as a Mecca for adventure activities. Sailing, kayaking and windsurfing can be enjoyed on Bala lake with the help of Bala Water-sports and the world renowned Tryweryn white water centre is just on the outskirts of the village.
Sitting as it does on the Eastern edge of the National Park, this part of Snowdonia has the natural benefit of being easily accessible from the English road network. But seaside towns such as Aberdyfi and Barmouth are only an hour drive to the west. Similarly Snowdon is a little less than an hour to the North.

All quotes tagged Heroism
(112 quotes found)
"The whole earth is the tomb of heroic men and their story is not given only on stone over their clay but abides everywhere without visible symbol woven into the stuff of other mens lives."
"The beauty of the soul shines out when a man bears with composure one heavy mischance after another, not because he does not feel them, but because he is a man of high and heroic temper"
"Peace demands the most heroic labor and the most difficult sacrifice. It demands greater heroism than war. It demands greater fidelity to the truth and a much more perfect purity of conscience."
"It doesn't take a hero to order men into battle. It takes a hero to be one of those men who goes into battle."
"Heroism is latent in every human soul - However humble or unknown, they (the veterans) have renounced what are accounted pleasures and cheerfully undertaken all the self-denials - privations, toils, dangers, sufferings, sicknesses, mutilations, life-"
"We must be prepared to make heroic sacrifices for the cause of peace that we make ungrudgingly for the cause of war. There is no task that is more important or closer to my heart."
"That's what it takes to be a hero, a little gem of innocence inside you that makes you want to believe that there still exists a right and wrong, that decency will somehow triumph in the end"

Forcing a PPR when the framework doesn't refresh
By Grant Ronald on Sep 05, 2011
I've just published a new ADF Insider Essentials video showing how to implement programmatic PPR. Why would you need to know this? ADF Faces has a number of features for declaratively defining when data is submitted on a page and which data should be refreshed automatically. However, there are some times when the framework maybe doesn't refresh a component when you expect it to and so you decide to force the PPR of a component in code.
Its actually pretty easy and this 7 minute video explains how you can do this.

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – see who won!***
Hope you all had a great (relatively clean) holiday week! The random winner in this week's giveaway is… Karyl (who has "grand finale" to their present unwrapping:"we bring out a bunch of thrift store stuffed animals that we've wrapped in newspaper for the dog and cat. They start tearing into the packages with abandon. By the end there are two tired animals and about 3 inches of fluff, newpaper bits, and four happy kids piled across the floor. It's a mess to clean up though, but huge fun.") Congrats!
If you're like us, by the end of this holiday week you will have had lots of fun… but might also have a bunch of messes to clean up. That's where these stylish, eco-friendly, and good-smelling cleaning supplies from Murchison-Hume come in.

- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, Dec 26th at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)

CoolerMaster's new cooling discovered during CES 2013
CES 2013 - As I toured the CoolerMaster suite to see what is new this year the first thing I was drawn to at a table was covering all of the new cooling solutions that they plan to bring out this year. They have a couple of takes on products that we have seen and one of which I am currently awaiting my sample of.
If you have paid attention, you are likely already aware of the Eisberg customizable water kits. CoolerMaster has seen some action and much interest in this design. In fact, they have actually started at this point offering the Eisberg Solo. Essentially this is the workhorse of all of the Eisberg systems, but now CoolerMaster is offering the head unit with the built in pump and reservoir for the completely custom cooling desires of many builders. This way you get the compact, AIO style of the head unit, but with the ability to now use your own tubing, fittings, and radiators to get exactly what you want from the Eisberg without having the spend for all the extras that you really had no desire to use in some instances anyways.
The depressing part of this is that there wasn't a set price that I am aware of, and there was no discussion of an actual date of availability. Since the Eisberg kits are already in retail markets, the availability really isn't in question, but the pricing will make a big decision for those interested in using the Solo for their own custom water cooling loops.

There will also be a new line of 802.11n dual-band network accessories on show, with the Rosewill L600N Wireless Router, N900UBE wireless USB adapter, N600PCE and N900PCE dual-band PCI-e wireless adapters.
Thermaltake debuts Versa G1/G2 gaming PC cases
Thermaltake has just released the latest editions to their PC gaming case line. The Versa G1 and G2 are mid towers that are aimed at the entry level market, yet feature enough room to house high end components. Packed full of ventilation options, removable dust filters and a perforated front bezel, this case is designed for cooling!
A mid tower form factor makes the Versa series manageable, and portable if need be. With room for a standard ATX motherboard, 32cm graphics cards, six 3.5" drives (1 external), and 1 internal 2.5" bay there is enough room for elaborate gaming systems. Included with the case is a 120mm rear exhaust fan, and five more spots for you to place additional 120mm fans.
Having personally owned over 15 different cased from Thermaltake over the years, I am sure this one is built to the same standards as their more high end Armor, Overseer, and Chaser lines.
GE unveils piezoelectric fan replacement technology
Cooling becomes a major issue as our beloved electronic gadgets shrink in size. We want things smaller, thinner and lighter and that causes a few problems for engineers. General Electric has just unveiled a new breakthrough technology that has the potential to push the miniaturization process forward by orders of magnitude.
Dubbed Dual Piezoelectric Cooling Jets, or DCJ,the system works by activating each piezoelectric element in an alternating pattern. This creates a "bellows" of high velocity jets of air that are many times more efficient than traditional fan cooling technology. An added benefit is that the DCJ system is much thinner than existing fan technology and is virtually silent.
"DCJ was developed as an innovative way to dramatically reduce the amount of pressure losses and loading characteristics in aircraft engines and power generation in gas and wind turbines," explained Peter de Bock, lead research in the electronics cooling arm of GE's Global Research division.

SAPPHIRE ports its Vapor-X cooling to the CPU, launches 200W Vapor-X CPU cooler
Most people have heard of SAPPHIRE's Vapor-X cooling technology in regards to graphics cards, but now you'll be able to take advantage of their cooling technology on your CPU. SAPPHIRE Technology has launched its first CPU cooler that has been designed with the enthusiast in mind.
Known as the Vapor-X CPU Cooler, it can handle heat loads of up to 200W and has been designed to be compatible with both Intel and AMD sockets. The cooler uses a dual-fan design and utilizes fans that have been designed to provide efficient airflow and low noise, similar to those on the Dual-X series of GPUs.

"We are harnessing our expertise in advanced technologies to deliver better performing products for the enthusiast which will then push down into an expanding product line for the mainstream."
The Vapor-X CPU Cooler will be available through SAPPHIRE's usual eTailers and retail partners and should sell for around $69 USD.
Corsair Takes Fan Testing Seriously
While in San Jose we visited Corsair to see the new lab toy. The Longwin LW-9266 is an advanced fan testing machine but don't let the application fool you. This 45K USD tool is a serious piece of hardware that takes fan testing to levels far beyond the reach of computer component reviewers.
It looks like something from the movies, a cart the bad guys wheel from a truck to blow up a city.

12 New Summer Anthems More Epic Than Jennifer Lopez's "Dance Again"
[Editor's note: Your devoted Flavorwire team is taking Memorial Day off, but we've left you with some of our favorite summer-related features that you may have missed the first time around. This post originally ran May 2, 2012. Enjoy!]
We can't even begin to fathom how difficult life is for pop stars. When temperatures top 90°F, they can't simply slip into a sundress and slurp down margaritas all the livelong day. Our beloved idols have a higher charge to answer to: creating the perfect summer dance-floor stormer. For them, dressing down and partying hard is all part and parcel to the performance art of pop. Take it from Jennifer Lopez, who, with the measured precision of a seasoned pop-ologist, has given us the summer anthem to beat with "Dance Again."
The song contains exactly the correct amounts of dance-ability, flair, and derring-do. It isn't aiming too high. Lyrically it doesn't strain your brain ("I wanna dance / And love / And dance again") and structurally, it explodes only during the bridge and into the chorus, and otherwise, it entertains a restrained synth beat. Still, you may be wary about surrendering to "Dance Again." It isn't the best pop song. But it is a tour de force befitting a sweltering Fourth of July rave. However, it's not the only one. America's entered a dance-pop renaissance, and that means we're in for a slew of unlikely summer anthems that are at least as good as "Dance Again." In fact, J.Lo has given us such a perfect benchmark for summer jams that we measure the following 12 potentially overlooked summer anthems on the semi-scientific scale of 1 to 5 "Dance Agains," wherein 1 = "Sure, I'll dance again, but I'll need a few tequila shots first" and 5 = "What do you mean 'again' — I haven't stopped dancing for the past five hours." … Read More

The Most Painfully Awkward Moments of Last Night's Oscars
It's all part of the ritual. First we spend months predicting the nominations, then we complain about the nominations, then we predict the winners to the point where there are no surprises during the ceremony itself, so we then complain about the show. Yes, folks, Oscar season came to a close last night, with trophies going to The Artist, Hugo, Meryl, Octavia, and Plummer over the course of the 193-minute ceremony hosted by Alan Shemper Billy Crystal.
Were there great moments? Sure: the legitimately emotional acceptance speeches by Octavia Spencer and Christopher Plummer, the candid charm of Meryl Streep, the terrific byplay of Emma Stone and Ben Stiller, some good old-fashioned slapstick from Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis, and a Chris Rock monologue that made us wonder why the hell he wasn't hosting again. But overall, the night was indisputably awkward — possibly even more awkward than last year's James Franco art-installation fiasco. After the jump, we'll run down a few of the evening's more uncomfortable moments. … Read More
Open Thread: What Is Your Pop Culture Soft Spot?
Last week in this space, we invited you to share your pop culture "cold spot" — the thing that everyone, it seems, loves but you. Come to find out, boy oh boy did a lot of you want to get that little nugget off your chest; the comments were voluminous, as previously-closeted detractors of Harry Potter, Indiana Jones, Star Wars, the Grateful Dead, Buffy, Bjork, Twilight, the Black Keys, Mad Men, 30 Rock, Lady Gaga, Dylan, and The Wire (okay, c'mon, seriously?) proclaimed their distaste for the tastemakers' faves.

Experimental off dock drop yard at the Port of Los Angeles could help speed containers.
Maersk Line CEO Soren Skou told American Shipper container lines need to adapt to permanent overcapacity, and cited Maersk's network management as the primary driver of bumper profits in recent years.
More than 40% of retailers and manufacturers plan to shift volume to East Coast ports on a long-term basis as a result of chronic congestion on the West Coast, according to the findings of a new American Shipper research report.
MIT's Center for Transportation & Logistics' Crossroads event showcased uses for additive manufacturing, autonomous parcel delivery machines, and low-cost, scalable batteries for electricity storage.
Impact of speed limiters and logging devices will be apparent on truckload capacity by 2017, with 2015 likely a transitional year in which carriers see fewer disruptions, according to investment advisor Stifel.
Overall container traffic is down at Port of Jacksonville for the first five months of fiscal year 2015.

How to recover Project Server 2007 or 2010 workspace/s when problems occur trying to recover a PWA site
Article ID: 963124 - View products that this article applies to.
On This Page
This article describes several methods that you can use to recover a project workspace site when the problems that are mentioned in this "Summary" occur.
Project workspaces are saved in a content database for the Web application that hosts the Project Web Access site. If a Project Web Access site is unavailable, or if it has to be recreated by using the Project Server databases because a full-farm backup has not been created, you may have to move the project workspaces from the content database for the Web Application to another content database for the Web Application in order to restore the links and functionality of the project workspaces.
You may encounter problems when, as an administrator, you move a Project Web Access site, or you try to recover a server that is hosting a Project Web Access site. Problems that you may encounter when you do this include the following:
The page cannot be found.
More information
The information in this article also applies to both Project Server 2007 and 2010, however there are a couple differences in terminology that should be called out. For example in Project Server 2010 the term workspaces is replaced with Project Sites and the 2007 Site Relinker tool is now a feature in Project Server 2010 called "Bulk Update Project Sites" in Server Settings under Operational Policies.
To resolve these problems, use one of the following methods, as appropriate for your situation:
Method 1: The Project Web Access site can be accessed and must be re-provisioned
Method 2: The Project Web Access site cannot be accessed or has moved from one server to anotherNote Before you follow these steps, make sure that the Project Web Access path does not exist in "Define Managed Paths" in SharePoint Central Administration.
Method 3: You selectively replace project workspaces
Batch Processing: This section discusses how to create a batch files to replace the single commands forexport and import discribed in methods 1 and 2 above.
1. Use the Enumsubwebs command to capture the site URLs into the text file sites.txt:
stsadm.exe -o enumsubwebs -url http://Servername/pwa
(http://servername/pwa)> c:\sites.txt
2. Edit the text file to remove the tags at the beginning of the URL for each site. The result should look similar to this format:
PWA/My Project Site
3. Export Batch File: Copy the following lines into notepad and save it as "Batch" file. i.e. export.bat
"Echo on" allows you will see the commands in the command window as they process.
"CD C:\" places the starting point at the root directory to avoid errors.
"cd 'C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\BIN>' ", this is the location of the stsadm.exe file.
The command uses a "for" loop to run the same command on each line of the text file. It pulls the first part of the URL into a variable location called
%%a and with the delimiter "/" which puts the next part of the URL into %%b. The export command pulls the content from the sites and places it in a .bak file in the C:\ directory and names the file with the %%b or project name as the filename. -Includeusersecurity pulls the security from each site and stores that in the .bak file.
Note: Note: You will see a .log file for the backup process in the directory with the .Bak file.
4. Place both the export.bat file and the sites.ext file in the same directory. Run the export.bat file
5. Import Batch File: Copy the following lines into notepad and save it as a "Batch" file i.e. import.bat. This command reads from the same
This batch file runs the command against each URL in the sites.txt file. It takes the project name and populates a new site with the content and permissions from the .bat file stored in the C:\ directory.
6. Place the import batch file in the same directory with sites.txt and then run the import batch file.

"Better than prior reviews led me to believe"
I'm not quite sure what the others are talking about.
The reader was adequate. He certainly wasn't superbly engaging, but neither was he so horrible as to make the book unlistenable.
I was quite able to at least get the idea after a single listening, and so I don't think this is a bad format for less strenuous digestion of "Structure." Indeed, if you listen to it many times it might serve to totally replace the book.
Perhaps it is right to say that academic books usually reward slow readings and re-readings while stopping occasionally to consider what's being said or what has been said. The pause and reverse buttons can facilitate some of this with an audio book, but obviously this type of digestion of a work is more suited to reading than to listening. However, for a first time read-through this audio book will more than serve.

Actress Elizabeth Banks has no qualms about out-earning her producer husband, Max Handelman, insisting men no longer need to be breadwinners in today's society.
RELATED: Before They Were Hunger Gamers
The "Hunger Games" star wed college sweetheart Handelman in 2003 and, since the beginning of their marriage, Banks has pulled in millions of dollars thanks to roles in "Spider-Man," "Seabiscuit," "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" and "The Next Three Days," while producer Handelman has earned significantly less.
Banks loves the fact she's the main provider and she feels good about paving the way for other women to aspire to do the same.
RELATED: Stars Who Fall for Average Joes and Janes
She tells Allure magazine, "We're the first generation to do it and it's very ingrained, even in our DNA, that men are hunter gatherers who are meant to go off and provide, and that we (women) are really meant to stay at home and have kids, which we have to do because they don't know how to do it! But they're learning. We're all figuring the same thing out. And let's be honest, men love a second income. It gets them their boat and their vacations. They want their wives to work."

Oklahoma State football: Cowboys' backup QB J.W. Walsh downright fun in victory over ULL
"I was pleased with the way J.W. stepped in," Gundy said. "He had a good look in his eye. There wasn't any fear, in my opinion, and I'm pleased with that."
And that's why Texas defensive coordinator Manny Diaz will not sleep easy the next two weeks, even knowing Lunt likely will miss the Sept. 29 OSU-Texas game.
The Cowboys' Air Raid offense is hard to stop, but at least Diaz knew what was coming. Now, with Walsh, Diaz doesn't.
No reason why he should. "Hell, I don't know," said offensive coordinator Todd Monken. "We have to flip. Our base system has to stay the same, but we have to tailor it to him."
When Lunt went down, Monken said, Gundy got on the headset and asked, "What can we run with Walsh?"
Monken's response: "I don't know, he took about 10 (practice) snaps all week. I don't know what to tell you."
But Monken pieced it together, relying more on the run game. Here's evidence: with Walsh, the Cowboys faced seven plays of 3rd-and-3 or 3rd-and-4. They threw on only one of those plays.
Walsh can run — 73 yards on six carries, mostly scrambles, against the Cajuns — and his passing was more than adequate: 21 of 30, for 347 yards and four touchdowns.
Again, that won't happen against Texas. Not 21 of 30, nor 39 first downs, nor 65 points. Walsh won't find the freedom to run against the 'Horns that he found against the Cajuns.
But the Cowboys now know their backup quarterback is a gamer. They avoided Arkansas' fate.
"Whoever your quarterback is, nobody cares," Monken said. "You better come up with a plan and win the game. Stop (griping) that the sky is falling."
It fell on Arkansas. It didn't fall on OSU, thanks to J.W. Walsh.

An alternative if I cannot do this is to have to add the classes manually in updates, and then update the code within those classes.

Bonnie Bishop
Hill Country DC
410 7th St. NW
Washington, DC, 20004
Doors 9:30 PM / Show 10:00 PM
Bonnie Bishop grew up in suburban Houston, Texas, far from the honky tonks and hay rides of country music, and raised on the soulful melodies of Aretha Franklin and the likes of Motown. Now with years of musical experience under her belt, a more finely-tuned focus, and a new CD on the shelves, this young singer is poised to make a huge impact on the hearts of music lovers in Texas and beyond.
Though having just been in the music scene for a short time, Bonnie has shared stages with many established artists such as Radney Foster, Kevin Fowler, Bruce Robison, and Lyle Lovett, and has played numerous well-known venues and festivals. Recently called an 'exciting and energetic group to watch' by the Bryan Eagle, Bonnie's band consists of six players, including electric and acoustic guitars, mandolin, violin, and three part harmonies, and ranges in style from bluesy rock to Americana and country. The band reflects the versatility of its lead singer's diverse songwriting and expansive vocal range, which makes Bonnie's music unique to the Texas music scene and appealing to a wide demographic of listeners.

I've looked into it before, but the info is kind of cryptic. I've been on many waiting list to no avail. Maybe someone who knows a little better can help here, but I think it goes like this. A person finds an current BJCP judge who is willing to host a test site. The site is then registered with the BJCP and fees/testers are gathered and the test is administered. The problem is that usually a brew club will find the current BJCP judge and full all the spots before it even opens. In addition to that only a certain amount of test are allowed per area and I think the current calendar is full until 2015! So good luck to anyone looking to take the test. At this point there is no reason to take the online test because it's valid for only one year in which time you need to have taken the tasting portion and there is no possible way to ever get into a tasting test.
Sounds like a self defeating process.
Ya! It is a quite demoralizing process and a true shame seeing as though I love the work the BJCP has done!
There were spots in the October Milwaukee test Bruce is the contact for as of early Jan. when I signed up. That was the only one anywhere near by that I could find that was actively accepting people. All the others were wait-list only.
Primary: Revelation Cream Ale
On Tap: Red Skies at Night, LHB Blond Ale, 224? Suburban Wheat Ale
Paul, yes, it's frustrating. I'm trying to get into a tasting to get to National Level judge, but all the tasting exams have wait lists of over 40 people vying for 12 seats. Crazy. Seems to me, this online exam that they thought would expedite things only pushed the backlog further down stream. Now the backlog is the tasting exam.
I entered 3 beers and paid for all three with one check. The website is only showing I paid for 1 entry. Do I need to do anything.
BL, CL, Miller etc. is like makin love in a canoe.....
its fkin close to water.
Lagering/conditioning: German pils, Dortmunder
Lagering:Kolsch, Dusseldorf alt
American Amber, Red ale
Double ipa, Rye ipa
Fermenting: German pils
Wheat 1,Wheat 2
All to be kegged and served by May 10
Send me a PM with your name and I'll look into it.
oops. shows paid now. thanks. it the awards ceremony a good time?
Question, as state above I signed up to judge this Saturday. I took part in brewing beers from three separate accounts that submitted beers for judging not just the ones I submitted with my account. Does this matter? Should I let someone know? I really don't want to judge a beer that I have participated in brewing, not that I would recognize it but still it's the idea of it.

We stayed one week with Dionne. She is just lovely! She gave us tones of good advices for groceries, restaurants...She even prepared for us some snacks which was great! We really advice you stay at her place.
Dionne was very friendly and tried her best to help us to enjoy our stay. The room was big enough for two. It was basic but had really everything we needed. The location of the apartment was conveniently located to get to the subway, the central park and to grab affordable dinner options on the first and second avenue. Also walking to midtown was possible in a matter of 25 minutes.
We felt comfortable staying with Dionne and can recommend her as a host.
I stayed at Dionne's for 9 nights.
The apartment is located on the upper east side on 70th str and 2nd Ave. It is a nice and safe neighbourhood with plenty of shops within the vicinity e.g Walgreens, Food Emporium, restaurants, banks etc.
The closest subway station (6 train) is only 4 blocks away and is 1 stop from 59th and Lexington Ave which is opposite Bloomingdales and all the high end stores.
The room is nice and warm as well as very spacious and the bed is big and comfortable. The accommodation also comes with high speed internet which works perfectly. I had the toilet to myself and shared the bathroom with Dionne's flatmate, Rene, who was hardly there but nonetheless came across as really sweet.
Also, the apartment is just above a launderette which is really handy if you are travelling for a while and want to get some laundry done.
Dionne is great, she is very friendly, extremely easy going and an excellent communicator. I really enjoyed my stay and my conversations with Dionne and would definitely recommend the apartment.
Dionne was very kind and her place was simply and quiet. I slept very well there. Because of my schedule and her work schedule, we only have a short interaction in person, however she called me to check I arrived safely from her work place.
Dionne made me feel right at home! Everything was great!!
Dionne was very easy to communicate with. The maid didn't get a lot of work as Dionne clean everything already when she left. Thank you.
Really nice pleasant girl , didn't get to meet her, but communication was great. Dionne is welcomed back anytime!!!!
Unfortunately I wasn't around when Dionne visited my apt but my house sitter and friend shared w me that she's a sweetheart!
I have nothing bad to say about this young lady :)

As More Come Home, Orange Lake Veterans Welcome Those From All Wars

Located to the South West of London and just a short walk over the River Thames from affluent Chelsea, Battersea is a popular choice for families and young professionals alike. With a combination of green spaces and a selection of trendy bars and restaurants, the area is a buzz with people, both day and night.
Less than 3 miles from Charing Cross and spreading out from Clapham Junction, the area has easy access routes to most areas of Central London and beyond.
An idyllic riverside location, and home to the Battersea Children's Zoo, Battersea Park offers a tranquil escape from the activity of Chelsea's nearby King's Road, and Battersea's own bustling shopping scene. From the park, the iconic four chimneys of Battersea Power Station can be seen protruding into the sky.
The station has long stood a favoured landmark of the area, with its unique design shaping Battersea's skyline since the 1930's. Now a decommissioned, the previous coal-fired power station is currently under development with residential and commercial opportunities.
The area is also famously home to Battersea Dogs and Cats Home.
Visitors to Battersea have a choice of shopping locations from the famed Kings's Road in Chelsea, just a short walk away over the beautiful Albert Bridge; or the retail delights along Battersea's Northcote Road. Most notable for its independent boutiques and antiques market, Northcote Road is also lined with a range of cafes and bars.
Battersea is often praised on its selection of trendy bars, attracting a younger crowd to the area as evening falls. Offering a vibrant mix of cocktail bars, riverside pubs and DJ bars, Battersea has a venue for every occasion.
For those seeking a culture fix, Battersea Arts Centre is the answer. Set in the former town hall, a stunning Grade II listed building, the venue plays host to an eclectic mix of theatrical performances.

Dehra Dun: With a series of disasters striking Uttarakhand in the recent past, the government on Tuesday announced a substantial hike in land compensation to victims.
"The disasters are common in the hill state but the land compensation was very less. We have decided to increase the compensation substantially", Chief Minister Vijay Bahuguna told reporters here after a review meeting of the agriculture, horticulture and medical education departments.
The CM said the land compensation to victims in hilly areas has been increased from Rs 240 per nali (land area) to Rs 2500 per nali.
In the plains, such compensation has been increased from Rs 12000 per hectare to Rs 1.25 lakh per hectare, Bahuguna said.
The CM said since both horticulture and agriculture are related departments, the government has decided to have one Secretary who will head both the departments.
He said the government would also modernize mandi samitis and make them hi-tech and introduce contract farming in the state.

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 11/17/14
The Philadelphia 76ers have agreed to a $6 million, two-year contract with former No. 1 overall draft pick Kwame Brown. Agent Mark Bartelstein announced the move Friday. Brown will be reunited with Sixers coach Doug Collins. Collins was Brown's first coach in Washington in 2001. Brown has averaged 6.8 points and 5.6 rebounds over an 11-year career. The well-traveled Brown was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2001 draft by the Washington Wizards. Bartelstein said one reason Brown was eager to join the Sixers was because Collins was like a ''father figure'' to the center.

Purpose, Principles Give Power
Q: Why is having a clear purpose and principles important to brand building?

Q: Why is having a clear purpose and principles important to brand building?
In February, Taco Bell made the long-awaited announcement that it would soon launch the Cool Ranch Doritos Locos Taco, a follow-up to 2012's fanfare-inducing and record-shattering Doritos Locos Taco.
But it didn't break the news through a press release or company statement. Instead, its nearly 10 million Facebook fans and close to 400,000 Twitter followers were privy to the information before any media outlet or competitor got their hands on it.
Taco Bell is taking the steps to offer relevant meal options for its customers and will start by rolling out two new product offerings in test: the Power Protein Menu and zero-calorie beverages.
The Power Protein Menu and new beverages will be tested in Dayton, Ohio, starting July 25, 2013.
The Power Protein Menu contains items offering more than 20 grams of protein and less than 450 calories.
Ray White has a problem. The chief foodie and head of product development for Southern California–based Veggie Grill wants to put bacon on his menu.
To the average quick-service operator, this doesn't seem like a problem at all. But consider that Veggie Grill is an all-vegan concept offering 100 percent plant-based food. If White wants to put bacon on the menu, it has to be made of meat substitutes like tofu, seitan, or tempeh. Consider, too, that White wants the product to have the same flavor and textural profiles as regular bacon.
The Taco Bell Foundation for Teens, together with Get Schooled, invites teens to take part in a one-of-a-kind project, "Yearbook Time! Upload Yourself Into Times Square Using Instagram."
To participate, students are asked to make the Graduate for Mas promise to graduate high school, then upload their Instagram photo to www.graduateformas.com by June 10.
The Taco Bell Foundation for Teens, in partnership with Get Schooled, announced the launch of Graduate for Mas, a program challenging teens to make a personal commitment to graduate high school.
Actor and philanthropist Mark Wahlberg, who did not finish high school himself, also announced his support of the program.
It may seem like a lofty goal, but Taco Bell is dead set on not only redefining value at the quick-service level, but also delivering it to consumers in a variety of ways.
Specifically, the brand is focusing on four key areas: the low- and high-price end of the menu, new menus and promotions, and limited-time offers, said Chris Brandt, vice president of brand marketing, in a press call on Thursday.
Small portions are very big these days.
Many 2013 trend predictions determined that small plates and snacking are expected to be popular among chefs and restaurant operators this year. While diners are still eating during the traditional meal times—breakfast, lunch, and dinner—they are eating less at those times, opting instead to have five or more smaller meals a day.
An independent panel of foodservice operators from the across the industry has selected the finalists for the 2013 Operator Innovations Awards. Three finalists in each of five categories—Food Safety, Health and Nutrition, Menu Development, Sustainability, and Technology—will be brought to Chicago for the 2013 National Restaurant Association Restaurant, Hotel-Motel Show this May. The winners in each category, as well as an Innovator of the Year selected from all finalists, will be announced live in Chicago during the Destination: Celebration gala on May 18.
HyperActive Technologies, a technology company for the restaurant industry, is now approved by Taco Bell to provide the HyperView PE order confirmation display (OCD).
HyperView PE harnesses the innovation of Power over Ethernet and is powered by a single CAT5e cable, saving operators money by reducing or eliminating electrical installation costs. It also extends the lifetime of the OCD by eliminating common breakpoints in the unit.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I think that the problem is with the Quicktime Plug-in, (which simply is not shown as an option among the Applications available for the "Midi Sequence" (.midi files).

I have tried to amend the preferences and MIME settings in both QuickTime and thru the Control Panel for Default Programs and Set Associations. Plenty of file types have "Use QuickTime Plug-in 7.7.4 (in Firefox)" as a selection; and, if I could find it by browsing for that "application" (not selecting the "Firefox" program nor a driver file), there might be a ready solution. I prefer to be able to open midi files in another browser tab in Firefox or Internet Explorer, (rather than activate or use one of the programs (ie. Windows Media Player, QuickTime Player, etc.). As this problem is also encountered midi files opened with Internet Explorer, I suspect that the fault is with the plug-in in Apple's recent update.

The only other solution may be to restore my computer's settings and programs to an earlier time, then not to update the Quicktime.

If you start up QuickTime Player from the Windows Start menu (All Programs > QuickTime > QuickTime Player), you can try changing the "MIME" settings as follows:

Edit menu > Preferences > QuickTime Preferences > Browser tab > MIME Settings button

This will launch a Windows control panel where you can designate QuickTime to handler various kinds of media. You can group the MIDI entries together by clicking the Description column. (See screenshot)

I'm not sure whether Firefox will detect this change right away, or whether you have to restart it first. Does it work?

The cost was $415 for the bottom two at 7.5" and $320 for the other three going up the stairs at 5.5". Hope this is helpful. You also can go on line to Osborne wood products and they will custom make from a picture. Obviously they are not exactly the same but you can play with the design and its not that expensive.
Summit Stairs & Millwork
I design custom newels and stair parts for our company and other stair companies. I have received pictures from customers and replicated the design as close as possible from it. Those are actually close to the same style I have designed for another local stair company. I use AutoCAD to do the design and have trusted craftsmen that can turn them on their lathes. Feel free to contact us through our contact info here on Houzz. Good luck on your project!

The victim was complaining of neck and back pain, but a Hubbard County Sheriff's deputy on the scene said the injuries did not appear to be life-threatening.
Another occupant of the rolled vehicle appeared uninjured.
