Very Happy CustomerPros: Excellent resolution, sharp screen Cons: Somewhat cheap plastic Other Thoughts: I use it as a programming/development machine. The screen is sharp and clear, allowing me to program with 8-point font at 1600x900, on a 14" screen. Did you find this review helpful? |
HP Pavillion dm4Pros: Awesome laptop. Great features at a great price. This is my daily workhorse. Bought it new, not refurbished. Extremely happy with the performance; I usually have several applications open at the same time, such as Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint and browser. I also run some scientific models once in a while, with no issues. I did upgrade RAM to 16GB (maximum possible with Win7 Home). Bloatware can be removed for the most part. I used CCleaner to tweak the registry and startup files. Newegg was good as usual. Cons: NONE! Other Thoughts: I have another HP laptop at home for personal use, and have been enjoying it a lot as well (AMD A8 processor with 6GB RAM). Like them better than some of the offerings from Dell. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Fantastic little laptopPros: I know this is a refurb so I can't guarantee everyone else's buying experience will be the same as mine, but pretty much every piece of this laptop is a "pro" to me. This is exactly what I was looking for. 1600x900 resolution looks great on the 14" screen, I'm sorry I refuse to buy a laptop with this new crummy 1366x786 resolution that computer companies have standardized for no other reason than ripping off their customers. Cons: Okay, if you really really want me to nitpick I could say the bloatware it comes with, but even that is really easy to remove with any uninstallation software, and some of it is actually quite useful if you give it a chance, like HP's update software that will update bios, drivers and other software for you. Other Thoughts: Honestly, I really can't say enough about this laptop. Is it the greatest laptop ever? I highly doubt it. Is it exactly what I was looking for? Definitely. It's light, small yet powerful, higher resolution than 1366x786, great battery life, and still has Windows 7. It's just great :). 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

Getting out with baby
One big tip (and 5 little ones) for getting out and about with baby. Read them here. more
Super chic and oh so easy, these gorgeous accessories can be made in a myriad of colour palettes. iIf you're hankering for St Tropez, this nautical style will have you ready to set sail...
Select the first colour yarn to be wrapped and tie it to the bangle, securing with a knot. Begin to wrap desired patterns and stripe widths, ensuring each wrap is placed next to the last. If you overlap the yarn, the bangle will not sit comfortably. Wrap firmly so it stays in place.
To change a colour, tie a knot at the back of the bangle and attach the new colour. Once the bangle is complete, hide the knots by tucking underneath the wrapped yarn.

"I'm a Pennsylvanian who grew up watching Penn State, watched the program rise, become better and better. I watched administration that was reactive and not proactive, and right now I see people being reactive, and removing Joe Pa's statue under the guise of being proactive. OK, let's tear down a statue. How does that serve the thousands of students and people who've been influenced positively by Penn State University, and Joe Paterno? Now when I look at the empty space where Paterno's statue was, all I can think of is the Sandusky stain. So what was gained by removing his statue?"
— Hagerstown
"There's a penalty in football for piling on. The NCAA is guilty of piling on Penn State."
— Brightwood Acres East
"The penalties assessed against Penn State University are way too lenient. That football program should be shut down, dismantled, for a period of at least five years."
— Fayetteville, Pa.
"I just want to say that the Ag Expo and Fair at the ag education center is amazing, and I have had such a wonderful time."
— Hagerstown
"Got our tax bill. We are both in our mid-80s and trying to hold on to our home. The taxes take a whole month and a half of our entire income. Cannot get any relief or help on these taxes. I wish the county would buy my house for the amount they have it assessed at. The recent sales price is much lower than the assessed amount."
— Hagerstown
"Hagerstown caller, how do you know that Mitt Romney's paying his fair share of taxes? He's got tax havens all over the place, and out of this country, you don't need to pay the taxes on them. That's why he doesn't want to show his tax returns. Why do you think Sen. McCain didn't pick him as a running mate when he saw those tax returns? And it's a disgrace. Obama is the only one that they've clamored after."
— Hagerstown
"The question is rhetorical. Are you better off now than you were four years ago? Are you getting more interest on your bank deposits, are you making money on your 401(k)s? The answer is no, and anyone that votes for the Obama presidency should seek psychiatric help."
— Hagerstown
"This is about the PONY team asking for funds from the county to go to California. The funds are being asked for the families to go to California. If the families want to go, they should provide their own transportation, and they should have to pay for their own lodging and meals. County taxpayers should not have to pay for families to go see their kids play ball. ... Have fundraisers; put it on your credit card, pay it off; don't go. But it's not fair to expect taxpayers to have to pay for it."
— Hagerstown
"You know, I discuss the upcoming election in November for president with quite a few people, and I've heard a lot of comments that people will say; 'I'm afraid of Romney, I don't like Obama, but I'm afraid to vote for Romney.' Why would you be afraid to vote for Romney? Look at what you've got now. Four more years of Obama and this country's gonna be really, really, really, really in terrible shape. So I'm not a bit afraid of Romney, and I don't care how rich he is or where his money's at."
— Sharpsburg
"The commissioners made the right call on the rail trail. It would have been irresponsible to take taxpayer money for a feasibility study when there are preliminary questions that need to be answered (which would not be answered by a feasibility study). As the Washington County Mail Caller from Monday's paper astutely said, we need to forget about adding to what we have until we can take care of what we have already. And we don't even have the money to do that."
— Keedysville
"I strongly suggest that the Washington County Commissioners, and even the City of Hagerstown, consider making a contribution to the Hagerstown PONY League for their travel to California for the PONY League World Series. The precedent was established the past four years that the commissioners, and the city, at different times, have helped other youth athletic organizations, and I personally feel what's fair for one is fair for the other."
— Hagerstown
"Minorities, seniors get to store, work, have driver's license, get to social services, food bank, some to baby clinic, tattoo parlor, and if they choose to vote they will find a way to the voting booth. So why can't they find transportation for photo ID? Doctors require new patients to show photo ID. Cashing checks, applying for a job, is a must. Supreme Court gave 16 states permission to require photo ID to vote. Yet Holder, Obama, claim it's discrimination, using race. Election boards are reporting dead people, underage people, several using the same address, which turned out to be a vacant lot."
— Hagerstown
"I sure hope people read and understand the article on page A6 of the July 25 Herald-Mail, entitled 'Obamacare will cut deficit.' The Congressional Budget Office is a nonpartisan unit that serves Congress. It projects that the act will reduce the deficit by $84 billion over the next 10 years, whereas repeal of the act would increase the deficit by $109 billion in the same period. Mitt Romney says, if elected, his job one will be to repeal the act. Let's hope he is not elected. We cannot simply afford him."
— Williamsport
"So we had a lot of rain last week, and millions of gallons of water went into the ground. It went down hundreds of feet into the water table and into wells. Then we pump the water into our homes and use it for drinking, baths, etc. Now the state of Maryland is charging me $60 a year because when I flush my commode, that 3 gallons of water is going over 100 miles and polluting the bay. When pigs fly."
— Boonsboro
"To the liquor store worker wondering what the HPD is doing about people who buy liquor and hand it to 13-, 14-year-old kids, I ask, if you know this is happening, why are you selling liquor to this person? An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."
— Greencastle, Pa.
"November is fast approaching, and this is just a comment from a right-wing conservative voter and taxpayer, that the City of Hagerstown, my opinion is, we have a do-nothing city council. I've had several instances of where I've had to try to rely on them to look into some things, and the feedback is minimal, very minimal. I know two people that I'm going to vote for, and that's going to be Don Munson and Kristin Aleshire. Don Munson I know personally. Mr. Aleshire I've never met, but I've heard him speak, and I think both of these people would be an asset."
— Hagerstown
"I recently went to the MVA office because I also was informed that I had to remove my deceased husband's name from the joint title; also had to get new tags and stickers. When she said it would be $280, believe me, that was a slap in the face. That's for only one vehicle. But I do want to say that the lady at the information desk was kind."
— Hagerstown
"To the person from Washington County who on July 25 answered my article, 'Where's the jobs?' I'm not looking for a job. I'm retired. You must be a Romney supporter, to twist the answer and avoid the truth. The article was about the rich creating new jobs. They are not and have not been creating jobs in this country for years, but they're sending our $25-an-hour jobs overseas ... and putting their money in foreign banks, so they don't have to pay taxes in this country."
— Smithsburg
"I was watching Sen. Cardin on TV yesterday, saying how much he was gonna do for the city of Hagerstown, he was gonna bring back businesses in Hagerstown. He was gonna be our savior for the city of Hagerstown, Washington County, Allegany County, all of what he's in charge of. I figured he'd be coming out of the hole sometime because it's election time, and he's promising all this stuff."
— Hagerstown
"How can you care more about Romney's tax returns than the fact that the president wouldn't turn over Fast and Furious documents, which would point to the responsible people for the atrocity that cost people's lives? Way worse than any Republican scandal you can try to compare it to. Because it goes all the way up to Obama and he refuses to be responsible for anything. They can't turn that info over, but they can leak info that can affect national security. ... How can Romney's success as a businessman be a negative thing, when this president has never balanced a budget?"
— Hagerstown
"I suggest that the wall in the area near where Paterno's statue once stood be used to list the schools who are poaching current and future PSU student athletes. This lack of class should be an embarrassment to these institutions, and the NCAA, which unleashed this feeding frenzy by issuing sanctions which were to be a message to all of the proper place athletics are to be at an educational institution."
— Greencastle, Pa.

The Honors Program in English consists of the following:
• ENGL 497--The Honors Seminar (to be taken fall of the senior year);
• ENGL 493—Directed individual study (undertaken in the fall semester);
• ENGL 498—Directed individual study(undertaken in the spring semester);
In these directed individual studies, the student produces a substantial critical essay of approximately fifty pages in length or a creative project of commensurate scope.
• A written examination set by the English Department, to be taken in the spring of the senior year and based on a reading list that combines the Senior Exercise reading list for the current and the subsequent graduating classes (the reading list for 2013 is thus appended to this section);
• An oral exam, to be taken soon after the written exam, and conducted by Outside Examiners on both the thesis and the reading list for the written exam;
• Evaluation of the thesis, written exam, and oral exam by Outside Examiners.
In order to be eligible for the Honors program, students must have a 3.5 grade-point average in their English courses and a 3.3 grade-point average overall. In the first-semester individual study, students will compile an extensive bibliography (in the case of critical projects), submit a proposal for their individual Honors project, and, by the end of the semester, complete the draft of at least one chapter or significant section of the project. An Honors proposal of five to ten pages (plus bibliography) will be due on October 7 of their senior year. The proposal will be evaluated by the Department and will be held to rigorous standards. If the Department does not find in the proposal compelling evidence that the student will produce a sophisticated literary project, the proposal will be rejected and the student will not be allowed to proceed in Honors during the second semester. At the discretion of the Department, a student may be allowed to revise a proposal and resubmit it no later than November 1. The Department considers this proposal and its promise of an outstanding essay to be the most important step in the student's progress toward honors second semester.
By the beginning of the senior year, students should identify a faculty member willing to work with them on the honors project. The first-semester individual study will start at the beginning of classes, and the student should enroll in ENGL 493. The faculty member will direct the individual studies through both semesters. Any prospective Honors student who does not yet have a faculty mentor for his/her Honors Project in 2013-2014 should contact his or her faculty advisor and/or the Director of the Honors Program immediately. The director of the Honors Program for 2013-2014 is Ivonne García (email@example.com).
Students who complete Honors will earn three distinct grades, in addition to their degree of Honor--first semester for (1) the seminar (ENGL 497) and (2) the individual study (ENGL 493), and second semester for (3) the individual study (ENGL 498). Successful completion of both courses first semester is necessary for students to continue in the program second semester. Of these courses, only the Honors seminar (ENGL 497) may count towards fulfillment of distribution requirements for the English major. The grades awarded to a student in ENGL 493 and ENGL 498 are not to be taken as an evaluation of the finished thesis, but rather reflect the student's performance on the thesis tutorial. The final degree of Honors is awarded by the Outside Examiners.
A note about the degrees of "Honors" in English: The English department considers successful completion of the Honors Program to be in itself a significant achievement. We expect, therefore, that most students who successfully complete the prescribed course of study (Honors seminar, independent study, senior thesis, written examination, and oral examination) will be awarded "Honors" in English. Students whose work taken as a whole is demonstrably and unequivocally distinguished or excellent may be awarded "High Honors." Rarer instances of exceptional distinction may even receive "Highest Honors." This degree of Highest Honors is reserved for exceptional cases and in most years will not be awarded.
The Honors examination will be based on a longer reading list, which includes not only the reading list for the class of 2014 but also that for the class of 2015, which follows:
Senior Exercise Reading List-2015
Sir Gawain and the Green Knight
The Wanderer and The Seafarer
Aphra Behn, Oronooko
Charles Dickens, Great Expectations
John Donne, "The Good Morrow," "Song-'Go and catch a falling star'", "The Sun Rising," "A Nocturnal upon St. Lucy's Day," "The Relic," Holy Sonnet 7-"At the Round earth's imagined corners," Holy Sonnet 10-"Death be not proud," Holy Sonnet 14-"Batter my heart", "A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning," Elegy XIX-"To His Mistress Going to Bed"
Ralph Ellison, Invisible Man
Langston Hughes, "The Negro Speaks of Rivers," "Danse Africaine," "The Weary Blues," "Cross," "I, Too," "Homesick Blues," "Po' Boy Blues," "Song for a Dark Girl," Montage of a Dream Deferred (all poems in the Sequence)
Harriet Jacobs, Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl
Herman Melville, Benito Cereno
MichaelOndaatje, The English Patient
William Shakespeare, King Lear
VirginiaWoolf, Mrs. Dalloway
William Wordsworth, "Lines Composed a Few Miles above Tintern Abbey," "She Dwelt Among the Untrodden Ways, "Resolution and Independence,""Composed upon Westminster Bridge, September 3, 1802," "Nuns Fret Not," "Ode: Intimations of Immortality," "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud," "The World is Too much with Us," "Surprised by Joy," "Mutability"

Arkansas athletic director Jeff Long will be the first chairman of the College Football Playoff selection committee, and the rest of the 13-member panel that will decide which teams play for the 2014 national championship will be officially revealed Wednesday.
The announcement of Long to lead the committee and act as a spokesman was made Monday.
A news conference will be held Wednesday at the College Football Playoff's new offices in Irving, Texas, with Long and executive director Bill Hancock unveiling the rest of the members.
The names of the other members expected to be on the committee, however, already have been reported by media outlets.
Long is among five current athletic directors, along with West Virginia's Oliver Luck, Wisconsin's Barry Alvarez, Clemson's Dan Radakovich and Southern California's Pat Haden.
Also expected to be on the committee are former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice; retired Lt. Gen Michael Gould; former Big East commissioner Mike Tranghese; former Nebraska coach Tom Osborne; former Notre Dame, Stanford and Washington coach Tyrone Willingham; former NFL and Mississippi quarterback Archie Manning; former NCAA vice president Tom Jernstedt; and former college sportswriter Steve Wieberg.
The committee will pick the four teams to play in the national semifinals in the new postseason system that will replace the Bowl Championship Series after this season. The winners will play about a week later for the national championship.
Long has led the athletic department at Arkansas since 2008 after holding the same position at Pittsburgh. He played football and baseball at Ohio Wesleyan.
"I'm very humbled and honored to serve as the first chairman of the College Football Playoff Selection Committee," Long said in a statement. "There is no doubt our task will be challenging. However, I am confident in the committee members' ability to determine the four best teams in college football."
A new bowl game will be played in Nassau, Bahamas, starting in 2014. The Bahamas Bowl will be part of a series of bowls shared by the Mid-American Conference, American Athletic Conference, Sun Belt, Mountain West and Conference USA.
The game will be played at Thomas A. Robinson Stadium, likely before Christmas, and the deal with the conferences runs for six years. The MAC will be the anchor team for the first four seasons.
No. 22 Florida will be without running back Matt Jones for the remainder of the year. Jones had surgery Monday morning to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee. … No. 14 Missouri quarterback James Franklin is out three to five weeks with a sprained right shoulder. … Tennessee has relieved director of bands Gary Sousa of his duties for the rest of the fall semester following the band's complaints regarding reduced travel and budget cuts.

"For 12+ years, I've been a professional voice, acting, & performance technique teacher to all ages. My students come from all walks of life but they all have one thing in common. They want to be the best at their chosen craft. The best part of my job is seeing my students gain more confidence as they start to really understand the technique and get better! I love what I do! I feel very fortunate that I am able to share my passion for singing, acting, and performing through teaching as well as performing." - Rachel Menconi

"I've been taking private and group voice classes at The Menconi Performance Studio for 2 years now and all I can say is, Rachel really knows what she's doing!
My voice has improved so much in the private lessons. I also love performance class because we are like family. We learn a lot from critiquing each other and we take notes on singing and performance technique that I'm able to look at when I'm practicing outside of the lesson.
Since working with Rachel, I have had more confidence than I have ever had in my entire life! No matter what age you are, you will learn a lot from her!" -
Alli K. September 18, 2011
"My experience with Rachel has been absolutely incredible. When I first began taking voice lessons with her, I lacked technique and did not know how to use my voice to its fullest potential. Over the course of five years, my singing ability has improved significantly. I am proud to say that Rachel Menconi has taught me everything I know about singing. She not only taught me technique and how to breathe correctly, but she also helped me gain confidence to sing in public. Rachel has been a teacher, mentor, and wonderful friend to me over the years. She is extremely talented and I am so grateful for everything she's taught me."
Erik O. December 30, 2010
"I'm an actor who needed to learn a bit about singing to help with my acting career. I never thought of myself as a singer until I became a student of Rachel's. When I first began in a few short months, I instantly started gaining a voice that I didn't even know was there in me! Now that I've been with Rachel for over a year now, it's gotten even better. I am much more comfortable calling myself a singer because of her. Rachel is an amazing teacher!
There is really nothing bad to say about Rachel as a teacher or a performer. She is very professional and caring of me and all of her students. She wants everyone to reach success. She instills knowledge and confidence to my peers and myself. I love that she brings out the best in me. I recommend Rachel Menconi to anyone who want's to become a better performer and master their voice."
1. How did you first come to learn how to sing?
I come from a very musical family so I've always known I wanted to be a singer. My parents say I started singing before I could talk! I would create sounds in tune to the melody I was hearing. After being enrolled in dancing school since the age of 3, my mother enrolled me in a musical theater school when I turned 6 yrs old. I started Bel Canto voice training when I turned 8 and that's where my real vocal training journey began.
2. What is the best thing about teaching?
It's hard to only pick one! One of the best things about teaching is I get to help and inspire my students through my passion for singing and music. I love when the light bulb goes off in my students' brains when they achieve a new skill, or they have an "Ah-hah" moment when they fully understand a term. Most of all, I love it when students (especially students with low self-esteem) become more aware of who they are as a person, who they want to become, and gain more confidence in not only singing but in life. Seeing that personal growth always makes me so proud. It really is one of the best feelings in the world!
3. What advice do you give to your current/future students when they get discouraged?
Follow your heart. Don't let anyone stand in your way (including yourself). Please stop comparing yourself to every singer on a recording, on stage, on the radio, or student going to your teacher. Every student comes from different life circumstances, starting points, learns differently, and has different goals. It's impossible to fairly compare two people. You should only compare yourself to your past self. Don't beat yourself up if you make a mistake. Being overly critical only makes things worse. It's ok to make mistakes. We learn from our mistakes. Own up to your mistakes and move on. It is fine to give yourself a goal and a time frame. Just remember, if your life gets hectic due to job, illness, injury, etc, you may need to move back your time frame to ensure proper completion with as little stress as possible.
4. What advice do you give to possible future students when looking for a voice teacher?
Students should find a qualified teacher who not only has good teaching credentials but also who is a performer. They should also appreciate their students and know how to break down and explain the material in detail. Remember, it's not about the teacher. The lesson is about you and what the teacher can do for you so you can achieve your dreams.

What It Takes To Cure Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis
By editor
Originally published on Tue July 9, 2013 12:16 pm
We recently chatted with Dr. Mel Spigelman, the president of TB Alliance, and he answered five common questions about tuberculosis. We edited his responses for length and clarity.
- How contagious is TB? Can you get it by being near someone when they sneeze? Probably not. TB requires relatively close contact for transmission. You really need to be around somebody for a good amount of time. That's why it spreads in families.
- An estimated one-third of the world has TB. How could that be? Not everybody who is infected with the TB bacteria gets sick. In many cases, the body walls off the microbes, usually in the lungs, and you never know they're there, kind of like the bacteria in your mouth or nose.
- Does the TB bacteria always break out of this friendly relationship and make you sick? A person has about a 10 percent chance during their lifetime for a latent TB infection to become an active one and cause problems. That risk increases if your immune system is compromised.
- If you test positive for TB with a skin test, do you always need treatment, even when you're not sick? Yes. In the U.S., people with latent TB infections traditionally take two antibiotics for six to nine months.
- What's the difference between regular TB and drug-resistant versions in terms of treatment? Regular TB takes about six to nine months to cure, with four antibiotics daily. Drug-resistant TB takes about two years to cure, and the treatment is much rougher. The drugs are more toxic, and only about 50 percent of people recover. That rate may be a little higher in the U.S.

Rabbi Sharon Kleinbaum, Senior Rabbi
Rabbi Sharon Kleinbaum serves as the spiritual leader of Congregation Beit Simchat Torah and is a human rights activist. Rabbi Kleinbaum was installed as CBST's first rabbi in September of 1992. She arrived at the height of the AIDS crisis when the synagogue was in desperate need of pastoral care and spiritual leadership. Rabbi Kleinbaum quickly achieved notoriety by guiding the congregation through a period of loss and change while addressing social issues of the day and building a community that is strong vibrant and deeply spiritual. Under her leadership, CBST has become an important voice in Judaism, in the movement to secure basic civil rights for LGBT people everywhere and in the struggle to create a vibrant progressive religious voice challenging the religious right wing.
Rabbi Kleinbaum's social activism began as a young child supporting the rights of farm workers to organize, demanding the rights of girls in her hometown to wear pants to elementary school (she won) and protesting the Vietnam War. Her activism continued through her years at Frisch Yeshiva High School and into her years at Barnard College leading protests against the school's investments in South Africa and against the proliferation of nuclear weapons. As a human rights advocate - for blacks, women, LGBT people, immigrants, and Palestinians - she has been jailed, arrested, vilified, and lauded, all with equal aplomb.
Rabbi Kleinbaum's education and experience cut across all varieties of contemporary Judaism: she was raised in a Conservative synagogue, is a graduate of the Orthodox Frisch Yeshiva High School, she worked at the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism in Washington, DC and is a graduate of the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College. A lover of Yiddish, she also worked at the National Yiddish Book Center in Amherst, Massachusetts. The Reconstructionist Rabbinical College awarded her their highest honor, the Keter Shem Tov Award, in June 2012.
"An unusual rabbi with a unique congregation; a gifted teacher, a natural leader."

Badoca Safari Park
Interesting safari park with giraffes, tigres, onixs, deers, zebras and many other animals running wild in the area of the park. You will go on a type of train through the park and the animals will come in curiosity.
In the beginning of the park there are some farm animals, lemures, turtles, birds and an interesting bird show, a quite big complex for monkeys and a water amusement ride, amongst others.
The park has two restaurants.

Mirobriga, the SHAME....
Funny how things stick in your mind and stand out above others. Here at Mirobriga we found what looked to be an abandonded workers shed that had fallen in on itself from neglect and disuse. Turns out that inside the building there were wall paintings and this was the building that had been constructed to "PROTECT" those paintings.
The Mirobriga authorities had made a proper decision to preserve these old works of art, but then let it crumble. Not only was it no longer protecting the wall paintings, you could see some of the structural struts that had broken poking INTO the paintings. At the entrance to the park you could see a nice new fancy museum and ticket office.....would not some of this money be better put to use actually PRESERVING what they want to sell you tickets for...

The Mirobriga ruins gives you ample place to let your imagination take you back to Roman times. Even though there are no complete structures left standing, you can still stroll through the baths area or over the bridge. They also have a museum which we did not have time to visit.

Mirobriga Ruins
Mirobriga, just on the outskirts of Santiago de Cacem, is an impressive complex of Roman ruins site of the most important roman baths discovered so far in Portugal. The ancient city is believed to have been orginally a Celtic settlement from around 5th century BC, but which became heavily Romanised after the 1st century AD. There is a forum, and several temples, one which is dedicated to Venus. Remains of houses and stores can be seen. The public baths are well-preserved. There is also a hippodrome about 1 km away from the complex.

A wildlife getaway at the Badoca Safari Park
Between Santiago do Cacem and Sines on the IC33 road, is the Badoca Safari Park, an area of 90 hectares of natural park where it's possible to see wildlife roaming freely. One can see the zebras mingling with the ostriches, with the giraffes just over there, or bump into a male peacock proudly displaying his fantastic tail. The park is divided into sections, such as the lake for the flamingos, ibis, and other birds, the park for the marabus, exotic birds, among others. To see the bigger wildlife, they take the people groups on a jeep for a tour. An interesting part is the feeding time of the birds of prey, which is done in the open. They have a restaurant, which serves reasonable fare.
The place is quite nice to spend a day in, and not just for the kids.- Theme Park Trips

2014 Audi RS7
( Evan Sears/ Cars.com photo / January 17, 2013 ) Mike Hanley: Winner The RS 7 is blindingly quick ¿ Audi claims zero to 60 mph happens in less than 4 seconds ¿ and under the bright auto-show lights, the white one at the Audi stand was blinding, too. It's almost not fair that Audi has two performance lines, S and RS, to woo enthusiasts. |

At the same time, India always seems to disappoint.

The Death Of Margaret Thatcher: 43% Of All Social Mentions Were Negative [INFOGRAPHIC]
By Shea Bennett on April 9, 2013 8:00 AM
Former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher died yesterday, and her death, much like her life, proved to be a deeply divisive affair.
Indeed, while her passing triggered a huge reaction of 900 posts per minute in the first three hours of the news breaking, some 43 percent of these mentions were negative, with less than one in five people (19 percent) displaying any kind of positive sentiment.
Almost half (46 percent) of all mentions about Thatcher took place in the UK, with 25 percent in the U.S., and it was President Barack Obama's Twitter message that generated the biggest response, with more than eleven thousand retweets.

Transportation: There are no public transportation amenities, but most everything is within walking distance, if you don't mind it. I've never really noticed an issue, as most people are open to giving rides.
Transportation: Public transportation at Schreiner is perhaps the greatest downside to the school. There is none to speak of. The only transportation on campus is the shuttle used for the sports teams, and nothing else. There is no way to get to town unless you have a car. Walking and biking around campus is the only way to get to class if you don't have a car, but without sidewalks located around the roads by the dorm buildings, this is made fairly troublesome, especially considering how recklessly many of the students tend to drive.
Transportation: No public transportation options available; however, the campus is very small and everything is within walking distance. Transportation is not really necessary.

Newest Review: ... her husband, Tom, as they move into a new home together in the countryside. Despite the attention-grabbing prologue, the story itself was ... more
Read Yesterday, Forgotten Tomorrow
Yesterday's Sun - Amanda Brooke
Member Name: jo1976
Yesterday's Sun - Amanda Brooke
Date: 17/12/12, updated on 15/08/13 (58 review reads)
Advantages: Interesting and unusual premise
Disadvantages: Lack of tension, implausible characters
I picked up 'Yesterday's Sun' from my local library, attracted by a rather intriguing cover and the strapline 'How can she choose between her child and herself?' This novel is the debut from Amanda Brooke and has been included as one of the Richard and Judy Book Club recommendations, which has been a source of many great reads for me.
I found the prologue was a really good start to this story - revealing a heavily pregnant Holly and alluding to her impending death. This grabbed my interest from the outset as I was intrigued to discover just how Holly was so sure that she was going to die and why she had chosen to conceal this information from her own husband. The novel then jumps back to eighteen months previously where we get to meet Holly and her husband, Tom, as they move into a new home together in the countryside.
Despite the attention-grabbing prologue, the story itself was quite slow going to begin with. I have to admit that I didn't particularly warm to Holly and find her relationship with Tom a little over-egged, with the author constantly emphasising how much in love the newly-wed young couple are and how they have planned out their futures together to the nth degree. I didn't really empathise a great deal with Holly and found there was far too much needless description and padding within the early chapters.
The story takes a more interesting turn when Holly discovers a 'moondial' (rather than a sundial) hidden at the bottom of her new garden and experiences a strange kind of vision of her own future, one in which she actually witnessed her husband grieving following her own death during childbirth. This was an unusual slant on the concept of time travel and should have been quite exciting and tense but, somehow, I felt this was lacking.
I find it difficult to pinpoint why exactly I wasn't totally in love with this story. The premise is unusual and intriguing but it didn't really captivate me in the way that I had anticipated. I struggled to empathise completely with Holly, even when she begins to question her long-term plans for her future. I suspect this might be because Holly was initially pretty ambivalent about the idea of becoming a parent in the beginning and only seems to begin to want children at the point she believes that she is likely to die in childbirth.
There are other peripheral characters around the story but I'm not sure why the author felt the need for these to be so much older than Holly. We have a kindly old gardener and a motherly lady in her eighties. I wasn't entirely convinced by the character of Jocelyn, particularly as she fails to share pretty crucial information with Holly early on in the novel. I felt the author missed the opportunity to really build up tension and intrigue with the introduction of Jocelyn, as Holly could quite easily have been suspicion of the (much) older woman's intentions and motivation. Instead, Holly instantly seems to accept Jocelyn and her version of events whereas I think most people would be a little more cynical.
In all, this fell slightly short of the mark. This is a debut novel and I would certainly consider reading more by the same author as she progresses but just don't feel this is entirely worthy of all of the praise it has received thus far.
Summary: Not as good as I'd anticipated

The code does not address the circulating pump at all. It is usually not installed in an attic since it can be prone to leaking and servicing it could be more difficult there.
I've replumbed my master bath and installed a tankless WH. Since I'm going to use this new WH to service the entire house a recirc. pump is probably in order (kitchen is 80' of copper away). I've already got part of the recirc. line in the attic running from the old location of the tank-type heater.
1. Any opinions on brand of recirculating pump?
2. Does the code allow a recirc. pump in an attic above living space? I realize pumps are usually located next to the WH, but my tankless is mounted on an outside wall.
The code does not address the circulating pump at all. It is usually not installed in an attic since it can be prone to leaking and servicing it could be more difficult there.
You might want to think about whether recirculating from 80 ft to a kitchen from a tankless heater is a good solution.
If the recirculation flow is very low, it will not actuate the flow switch in the tankless. If it is high, you will be running hot water to the tankless supply. Many of the demands in a kitchen will not use the water in the pipe unless you run it to waste to get it hot.
You might consider whether a point-of-use heater might be a better choice for the kitchen. It will provide immediate hot water and will not waste heat that recirculation systems always do. Your A/C will have to pump that heat out of the house.
Kitchens use low and intermittent flows except for dishwashers, and the tankless will come on to resupply the POU heater when there is high flow.
Most of the tankless instructions I've read specifically say don't use a recirculating pump with them. Read the fine print and see if it is addressed; if not, suggest you talk to the tech support from the manufacturer to get them to bless or condemn it. My guess is that if you got enough flow to trigger the thing on, it would be running for many more cycles than normal, and you'd be wasting all of the energy you think you will save, and wear it out much quicker.

A recirculating pump circulates stored hot water. With a tankless heater, you don't have stored hot water, so there's nothing to circulate.
You could use an on-demand recirculating pump at the kitchen sink. This won't save any energy, but it will save 80' worth of water. I have a Chilipepper Appliance (http://www.chilipepperapp.com/) that I'm very happy with.
Taco also makes a recycling system they call d'Mand. www.taco-hvac.com . ANother is made by Gundfos. All you really need is a pump, a time-delayed off relay (adjustable) and a pushbutton to activate it for the specified time. Adjust the delay so it stays on long enough to get hot where you want it. Or, you can buy someone else's system, already engineered for you. The packaged systems include a temperature sensor to stop once hot arrives, rather than after a specific time. Either works, one is more automatic.

Thanks for the input. The Noritz 69M will work with a recirculating pump. In fact it has control circuitry built in if you choose to use this approach vs. a timer. I'm sure having a storage tank would be the preferred solution, but I really don't want to put such a tank in my attic. I'll have to think about this some more.

January Transfer Window: Biggest Need for All 20 EPL Clubs
By George Cushnie ,
The first international break of the season is underway and transfer windows across Europe are finally closed, so I thought it was a fair time to assess each of the Premier League squads as they stand now and give my thoughts about what they're going to need when January comes around.
Although I think the summer transfer window is a great idea, I also think that the January window can force a lot of managers into panic, buying signing players that, in the cold light of day, they probably don't need.
In alphabetical order, I'm going to suggest what I think each Premier League club will need when the next transfer window opens.
I still think that Arsenal need to sign a defensive midfielder to replace the departed Alex Song.
Abou Diaby can fill that role, but he normally picks up an injury or two during the season, which leaves just Mikel Arteta.
I know that having Jack Wilshere back from injury will be like having a new player, but Arsenal are still short in that department, so if I were Arsene Wenger, I'd be looking for a defensive midfielder in January.
Paul Lambert has got a really difficult job on his hands at Villa Park.
It doesn't seem like he's got a lot of money to spend and there's a lack of form in the forward areas.
Charles N'Zogbia's move from Wigan last year hasn't really worked out and Darren Bent looks isolated up front at times.
Darren Bent can score goals and if Villa are to have any sort of decent season, they're relying on him.
If it were me, I'd be looking to add a couple of wide players to the squad to complement the talented youngsters that Lambert already has at his disposal.
The only weakness that I can see in the Chelsea squad right now is that they're short of strikers.
Although they signed Victor Moses from Wigan in the transfer window, I think he's more of a wide player.
Ironically, Daniel Sturridge usually plays out wide for Chelsea, but I'd play him through the middle.
That leaves just Fernando Torres as the only recognised striker played in position.
Even though Chelsea have got a lot of attacking midfielders, they still need cover up top, but I don't know who they could bring in.
Almost every decent, world-class striker will be cup-tied for Europe or priced out of a move until summer.
It's a difficult one, but I'm sure Chelsea will add another striker as soon as they can.
This whole slideshow is about the biggest need for each club in the January transfer window.
Some clubs will need to bring players in and others will need to keep hold of their best players.
For me, Everton fall into the latter category and the critical thing for them in January is to keep hold of Marouane Fellaini.
The only thing that Everton can't offer Fellaini, at least this season, is European football.
If another club comes in that can offer him that, he might consider his options.
Martin Jol must be relieved that the whole Clint Dempsey saga is over.
In saying that, he'll have been disappointed to lose a player of his quality, as well as losing the highly-impressive Moussa Dembele.
Jol may need to bring in someone who could chip in with his fair share of goals, because Dempsey guaranteed at least 10-12 goals a season from midfield, which could be the difference between finishing mid-table or fighting relegation.
This is the easiest slide to write of the lot.
Liverpool need at least another striker, possibly two.
As talented as Luis Suarez is, he doesn't convert as many chances as he should and Fabio Borini needs time to settle into life at Anfield.
Letting Andy Carroll go without identifying a replacement was just lunacy.
In an open letter to the fans last week, owner John W. Henry (reported via independent.co.uk) said that:
We will invest to succeed, but we will not mortgage the future with risky spending.
Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but this is a man who allowed Kenny Dalglish to spend somewhere in the region of £100 million on players including Andy Carroll, Jordan Henderson, Stewart Downing and Charlie Adam.
To me, that's risky spending.
Liverpool are desperately in need of a striker or two and the owners might have to bite the bullet if they're to give the fans the success that they crave.
I've not got a clue where to start with Manchester City.
They have the most complete squad in the Premier League.
Their strength in depth is frightening and whoever finishes above them will win the league.
I suppose the only thing I could say about Manchester City is that in January, they may need to bring in a short-term replacement for Yaya Toure when he's away at the African Cup of Nations.
For everything I've just said about City, I could say the same about Manchester United.
I don't really see any weaknesses in the squad.
Normally I'd have said they'd need a replacement for Rio Ferdinand, who can sometimes miss out on games with injury. And as he's getting older, that might happen more often. However, they've got replacements in the shape of Jonny Evans, Phil Jones and Chris Smalling.
Tom Cleverley is emerging as a top player and he'll be a key part of the squad going forward.
It's not something they really need to do, but I'd look at maybe offloading Nani.
The Portuguese winger is far too inconsistent.
His team-mates, Ashley Young and Antonio Valencia, are capable of providing more consistency and they tend to do more defensively than Nani does.
After a stunning season last year that just saw them missing out on Champions League football, the key thing for Newcastle this season is to consolidate themselves as a top-10 club.
Hanging on to their best players will be a huge part of that challenge.
Hatem ben Arfa, Yohan Cabaye, Demba Ba and Papiss Cisse will continue to attract interest if their form continues, and that could be Newcastle's biggest threat.
If I were Alan Pardew or Mike Ashley, my priority would be tying these guys down to improved, long-term contracts in January instead of bringing others in, unless it be absolutely necessary.
Paul Lambert did an incredible job at Carrow Road, so he was always going to be a hard act for Chris Hughton to follow.
This January, I'd expect one or two players to leave, with Hughton bringing in a couple of fresh faces.
The Norwich squad seems to be pretty solid, so the key thing for Hughton in January is to ensure that any players he brings in don't disrupt the harmony of the squad.
Otherwise, he might have a tough job on his hands.
After all the comings and goings at Loftus Road since Tony Fernandes bought QPR, it would be nice to see the club limit the number of players, if any, that come in when the transfer window opens again.
For a club to be successful, they need consistency on and off the pitch, so the turnaround of players, on such a huge scale, needs to be stopped.
On paper, QPR have a squad capable of finishing in the top ten, but it's down to whether or not Mark Hughes can keep all of the players happy.
The key thing is that Mark Hughes doesn't have any excuses anymore.
The squad he's assembled consists of, by and large, his players and their success or failure will be down to him.
It's fair to say that Reading had a dream season last year and their manager, Brian McDermott, comes across as a great guy, as well as being an excellent coach.
The only thing that I'd say about Reading in January is that they might want to bring in some more players with Premier League experience.
Talent will get you a long way, but experience of the Premier League can't be underestimated.
Three games gone, no wins and no points for Southampton.
Sounds bad when you look at it like that, but if you've actually watched any of their matches, they've played exceptionally well and it's only been defensive naivety that's cost them.
Arguably, you could say they should have beaten the defending champions on the opening day and the most successful English side of the past 20 years last Sunday.
Rickie Lambert has already proved he can score goals in the Premier League after just three games and Adam Lallana has shown how talented he is on the big stage.
Nigel Adkins may want to look at adding more defensive cover with proven players, because going forward, Saints will be fine.
It's at the back where I can see problems for them.
Tony Pulis is a shrewd manager and Stoke are a fantastically well-supported club.
Their squad is Premier League quality and Pulis gets the best out of them more often than not.
It'd be too easy to judge them after their inconsistency last season, but it's easy to forget that they had to juggle European football with Premier League responsibilities.
That's not something they'll have to worry about this season and they'll be better for it.
As for what they'll do in January, I really don't know.
They're well covered in all areas of the pitch, with international-class footballers in almost every position.
I really don't see them doing any business in January, but if they do, Pulis won't be one of those managers that brings someone in just for the sake of it.
In the closing days of the last transfer window, Martin O'Neill pulled off a couple of great signings in Steven Fletcher and Adam Johnson.
For me, he doesn't need to do any business in January.
He might have to keep a close eye on two of his best players though.
Stephane Sessegnon and James McClean were two of their best players last year and if they have the same kind of impact before January, O'Neill might have a job on his hands keeping hold of them.
I'll be the first to admit that I didn't see Swansea's blistering start to the season coming.
Putting five past QPR on the opening day, before putting three past West Ham and following that up with a 2-2 draw at home to Sunderland have seen the Swans start life without Rodgers with a bang.
Sure, they lost Joe Allen and Scott Sinclair during the last window, but they managed to bring in a raft of talented players like Michu, Jonathan de Guzman and Pablo Hernandez, among others.
Swansea will be fine this season; I don't see them struggling, but I can see some fringe players leaving to make way for another striker in January.
So, Spurs lost Luka Modric and Rafael van der Vaart during the last transfer window, but they brought in some excellent replacements, like Gylfi Sigurdsson, Clint Dempsey and Moussa Dembele.
In my opinion, they represent great pieces of business by Spurs.
If I were being really picky, Spurs only have Emmanuel Adebayor and Jermain Defoe who can play as out and out strikers.
It's well known that Fernando Llorente's contract with Bilbao comes to an end next summer and as reported by The Independent newspaper, he's refusing to re-sign with them.
I'm obviously not a football manager, but if it were down to me, I'd put in a cheeky offer for him in January to test the waters because I'm sure that Bilbao won't want to lose him for nothing next summer.
The thing about West Brom in the transfer window is that they always look for good, young, talented players who can complement the experience they've got.
They've signed players in the past like Scott Allan, Shane Long and recently, Romelu Lukaku on loan from Chelsea.
Their defence is full of Premier League experience with Steven Reid, Liam Ridgewell and Ben Foster.
I really don't see what Steve Clarke can add to the squad in January that he doesn't already have.
West Brom need to make sure their key players are fit for as much of the season as possible.
In January, Clarke might add one or two to the team, perhaps in midfield, but it's not something they really need to do.
Back in the Premier League after a year away, West Ham already had a squad full of experienced Premier League players.
Since winning the playoffs, they've added the likes of Matt Jarvis, Andy Carroll, Yossi Benayoun and Jussi Jaaskelainen to that mix, so they should be fine with the squad they've got.
The one position where I can see a weakness is in goal, where Jaaskelainen doesn't really have any experienced competition for his place.
He didn't play regularly in the Premier League last season and at his age, 37, he needs competition.
If I were Sam Allardyce, that's the area I'd look to add to in the next transfer window.
Rounding off the list, we arrive at the DW Stadium with Wigan.
A well-run club that consistently defies the odds to stay in the Premier League. Despite never having a regular goalscorer, Wigan always find a way to stay up.
They may have lost Victor Moses, but to be honest, Ryo Miyachi is a more than able replacement.
In terms of adding to the squad, maybe adding another striker to give competition to Kone and di Santo would be the way to go.
Celtic's Gary Hooper scores goals for fun in Scotland and, without being disrespecful to Wigan, he's definitely someone they can afford and should be on their radar.

We were constantly updated by telephone and called after delivery to check we were happy. I am very impressed with the customer care: I don't think I have ever experienced such good service as a result of a complaint. Well done and thank you to Monsterbeds.
