Passenger doctors gave first aid
It has been revealed that four doctors, who were onboard the King Seaways ferry as passengers, helped to treat those who were affected by breathing in smoke.
Humber coastguard watch manager Graham Dawson said it was thanks to their efforts that so few people need to be airlifted to hospital.
He was also full of praise for the crew, whose training he said had "kicked in". He added that it was fortunate that the weather conditions were good and that if this had happened a few days earlier, during fierce storms, there could have been a very different outcome.

460 Fairtrade Towns prepare for Fairtrade Fortnight 23.02.10
Nearly 20 new villages, towns and boroughs around the UK are celebrating achieving Fairtrade status in time for this year's Fairtrade Fortnight (22 February – 7 March) which has the theme of 'The Big Swap.' They will join another 440 who already work closely with the Fairtrade Foundation to promote Fairtrade produce to their citizens.
From Exmouth in Devon and Troon in Ayrshire to Dinas Powys in the Vale of Glamorgan and Deal in Kent, dedicated supporters have been working hard to ensure that their areas meet the targets for Fairtrade status – which involve increasing availability, understanding and support for Fairtrade. In addition, the Hadrian's Wall corridor, which stretches across Northumberland, has also achieved Fairtrade zone status in time for Fairtrade Fortnight.
Fairtrade Fortnight is the annual nationwide campaign to promote awareness of Fairtrade and encourage people to buy products which carry the FAIRTRADE Mark in order to help farmers in developing countries.
Achieving Fairtrade status in time for this year's celebrations are the villages of Tatsfield in Surrey, Dinas Powys in the Vale of Glamorgan, Easton in Gordano, Pill and Ham Green in Somerset. New Fairtrade Towns include Felixstowe in Suffolk, Exmouth in Devon, Deal in Kent, Llangefni in Gwynedd, Dronfield in Derbyshire, Wivenhoe in Essex, Todmorden in West Yorkshire, Highworth in Wiltshire, Troon in Ayrshire and Huntingdon in Cambridgeshire.
The city of Ripon in North Yorkshire plus the Boroughs of Gedling in Nottinghamshire and Trafford in Greater Manchester, have also achieved Fairtrade status, joining a unique movement of more than 460 communities across the UK.
Hannah Reed, Campaigns Managers for Fairtrade Towns at the Fairtrade Foundation, says: 'We are delighted to welcome the latest Fairtrade Villages, Towns and Boroughs – and Hadrian's Wall – to the Fairtrade family. Fairtrade depends on its grassroots supporters spreading the word and we're especially pleased that, in a period when things have been tough for many of us, people have still embraced Fairtrade and stood by farmers and producers in developing countries who are having an even tougher time.'
In addition to celebrations and events in the 17 latest places to achieve Fairtrade status,
Fairtrade Fortnight events will be taking place the length and breadth of the UK. Towns, villages
and cities which already have Fairtrade status are all likely to be home to many events. See http://www.fairtrade.org.uk/get_involved/campaigns/fairtrade_towns/towns_list.aspx for a list of Fairtrade Towns.
Fairtrade Fortnight will also be celebrated by organisations and groups, even if they are not in Fairtrade town. Faith groups, workplaces and voluntary groups, for example, will also be holding hundreds of events in church halls, temples and other places of worship. There are several key events planned for London. Details of local events can be found at www.fairtrade.org.uk/events
Special Strictly Fairtrade tea dances will be held in several areas to further raise the profile of
the Fairtrade movement. People are invited to twist, jive, rumba or waltz the afternoon away at central venues in Dundee (Bonar Hall), Newcastle (Eldon Leisure), Liverpool (Liverpool One), Cardiff
(St David's Shopping Centre), Birmingham (Victoria Square) and London (Spitalfields) in the
company of experts and with Fairtrade stalls and refreshments. For more details of the dances go to www.fairtrade.org.uk/thebigswap/get_involved/strictly_fairtrade_tea_dance.aspx
As part of its cotton campaign, a Fairtrade Foundation Fashion Road Show will tour fashion colleges in Huddersfield, Manchester, Northumbria and Nottingham. A Fairtrade fashion show is planned for Bristol on 25 February. For details see www.fairwearfashionshow.org.uk
The Big Swap asks people to swap everyday shopping basket items such as tea, coffee, chocolate, cotton tee-shirts, pineapples, bananas, cakes, sugar and a host of other products for Fairtrade ones during Fairtrade Fortnight.
Hannah Reed adds: 'We want everyone to get busy swapping for Fairtrade. Swap your usual bananas for Fairtrade bananas, your usual socks for Fairtrade socks and your usual cuppa for a Fairtrade cuppa. Each swap will help producers in the developing world to get a fairer deal.
'This is because Fairtrade offers producer organisations a fair and stable price for their products that covers their costs and enables them to support their families and invest in a better future. Although Fairtrade products are much more widely available these days, buying them is still not yet the norm for everyone. So, for Fairtrade Fortnight 2010, let's get swapping.'
People are asked to log their swaps during Fairtrade Fortnight 2010 at www.fairtrade.org.uk/thebigswap The Fairtrade Foundation will be totting up product swaps on a special online swap-o-meter. The aim is to get people in Britain to make one million and one swaps over the two-week period.

San Francisco solar back on track?
State ruling overrules San Francisco's controversial Sunset Reservoir decision, clearing the way to resurrect City solar projects
San Francisco – The so-called Greenest City in the Country has withered on the vine ever since a much-criticized decision to ban certain trade unions from working on municipal solar projects led to what is believed to be the nation's first community protest and work stoppage at a solar installation and a nine-month delay in breaking ground on new solar projects.
In a harsh rebuke to an OLSE decision that was called an unlawful step beyond the agency's authority under City law and even earned criticism from City officials, the state determined that "the process of installing photovoltaic systems includes tasks that are already within the work processes of many established trades and is a part of those apprenticeship programs."
Workers from environmental justice communities and historically marginalized neighborhoods have found their greatest success in securing opportunities in the solar industry through the Laborers Union. In fact, hundreds of the 25,000 panels currently operating at Sunset Reservoir were installed by general laborers from Laborers Local 261 before they were fired in the wake of the City's decision.
Yesterday's state ruling once again opens up jobs to those workers and workers from other trades, while acknowledging the consensus view that the final step of solar installation, connecting wiring from a combiner box to an inverter in order to bring the electricity generated into a home or business, is electrical work.
The upside, however, is that these contracts can now include the City's widely-hailed local hiring law authored by Supervisor John Avalos, which guarantees local community participation as San Francisco restarts its solar efforts, particularly as the CleanPowerSF program moves forward with plans to install over 100,000 panels in the City.
"The fundamental promise of the green economy is inclusion and opportunity for communities disproportionately polluted over the past several decades," said Joshua Arce of Brightline Defense Project, whose efforts to promote environmental justice through targeted green job creation led to Brightline's work with Supervisor Avalos on his landmark local hiring legislation. "The City broke that promise on Sunset Reservoir."

When I updated Windows 7 today, I noticed that it included several updates for Office 2007. However, I only have Office 2003 installed. Are these Office 2007 updates (a) for Office 2003, (b) for Visual Studio 2008, or (c) a figment of Bill Gates's imagination?
If you have any of the viewers or compatibility packs installed, that might trigger updates associated with the newer version of Office. Upon getting certain attachments in Exchange I was prompted to download a compatibility pack in order to view the document. After this I would see 2007 related Updates in my 2003 Office install. I would also see the updates when I only had Visio Viewer installed.
Link to the Compatibility Pack which may be installed: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=941B3470-3AE9-4AEE-8F43-C6BB74CD1466&displaylang=en
From the actual support text - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=fb457536-26c5-428b-97e4-1fc13718266e
I had Visio Viewer installed, then later deleted, and sill would require the Update. I'm assuming this is because some DLL's were left behind.

Great interpretation so far, just curious as to what your take is on
"Exoskeletal junction at the railroad delayed."
I have read that it signifies the point in which Cerpin's body stops working ('exoskeletal', 'delayed'), and now his mind has taken over.
any insight from you on this is much appreciated, thanks for posting this!

With the addition of a pure NT type D lineman in Joseph, would the Giants be able to run a 3-4 defense? Not as thier base, but as a mix it up package?
The D would/could look like this...
Tuck/Canty/Kiwi Joseph Osi/Kiwi/JPP
Boley Dillard Goff Sintim
Webster TT
Phillips Rolle
This obviously all depends on the development of Goff, Dillard, and Sintim, but if those 3 turn out to be serviceable linebackers, and with Boley and Sintim being good pass rushers... as long as Joseph eats up the blockers and the run like he loves to do so much, this 3-4 D could work heavily in the Giants favor as a mix it up, confuse the offense type package. I can imagine the fun Fuel could have bliztin all over the joint with the pass rush D ends we have alongside the rushing OLBs.
Just a thought....

(WMC-TV) - Martin Lewis was sentenced to life in federal prison Friday for his role in the Craig Petties Drug Trafficking Organization.
Lewis was convicted by a federal jury of racketeering conspiracy, violent crime in aid of racketeering activity, conspiracy to commit murder for hire, and money laundering in 2012.
As part of the conspiracy, cocaine was prepared, packaged and/or stored prior to distribution to buyers in "stash houses". Lewis and his co-conspirators used these "stash houses" to avoid detection by law enforcement authorities.
Martin Lewis was initially charged with being a member of an organization led by Craig Petties that began as a neighborhood gang in 1995 and grew into an empire that imported drugs from Mexico to sell in Tennessee, Mississippi, Texas, Georgia and North Carolina.
The Petties drug organization is considered the most notorious in Memphis history.
Also in 2012, a prosecutor said Martin and his cousin Clinton Lewis each killed one person who was a threat to Petties' organization. That prosecutor said other members also killed potential threats to the drug ring.
There is no parole in the federal prison system.

Lawrence B. Hill was the first to have his position designated as president and the first to have earned a doctorate. He guided the course of the college from 1913-18, and made enormous gains in relating the college to the area. New courses were introduced, including manual training, agriculture, domestic science, and gardening. Courses in mining were also added.
Additional training was also given in the teaching profession. In 1915, the school became a two-year professional normal school, the short course for teachers was authorized, and first offered in 1915-16.
Under Dr. Hill´s administration, James F. Holroyd arranged to take the seniors to visit surrounding rural schools. Those graduating were to serve as apprentice teachers. The road connecting the town and the campus was improved, and a gesture of appreciation of beauty was made in 1915, in planting the famous Pines. Intended as a windbreak, the grove became in time a symbol of the college.

Calif. cops take pay cuts to prevent layoffs
To avoid more layoffs, San Jose cops tentatively agree to extend 10 percent pay
By John Woolfolk
SAN JOSE, Calif. — Trying to head off more layoffs of cops, San Jose's police union Wednesday tentatively agreed to continue 10 percent pay cuts for at least another year and a half.
The agreement most likely ends a dispute with city leaders that was just days away from being arbitrated and could have doubled next year's budget gap if the salary reductions expired.

Alys Beach is a Mediterranean-style beach community along Florida's Emerald Coast. The homes within the community are the essence of luxury living – designed and constructed for the most discerning property owners. Kitchens Etc. was charged with designing a functional kitchen retreat for the Skrien family.
In developing the plan, we aimed to maintain the home's Mediterranean style while incorporating the homeowners' needs – such as a distinct area for entertaining, an open floor plan with an effortless flow between the kitchen and the neighboring areas, a large work area and multiples of kitchen appliances in order to provide multiple cooking stations. In fact, we incorporated the Thermador Freedom® collection refrigerator column and freezer column to allow the design to be more flexible, two Thermador Masterpiece® Series double ovens for their sleek styling and built in microwave and warming drawer, a Thermador dishwasher for quiet and efficient cleaning and a Thermador built-in coffee machine which eliminated the unnecessary clutter of counter appliances. We also paired the 36" professional six burner gas rangetop and 24" electric griddle to accommodate the homeowners' cooking preferences. With the sheer number of appliances, our main challenge was maintaining the consistent look and feel their architect had developed throughout the remainder of the house, including the adjoining courtyards. We didn't want the kitchen to resemble an industrial, catering kitchen – we wanted an open design that flowed effortlessly into the adjoining areas.
"We wanted to fulfill the Skrien's desire for increased functionality with efficient work areas while maintaining the home's contemporary, Mediterranean style."
At Kitchens Etc. we understand that kitchens are becoming a household hub – with multiple cooks working in the kitchen and more entertaining and family activities conducted there. We wanted to fulfill the Skrien's desire for increased functionality with efficient work areas while maintaining the home's contemporary, Mediterranean style.
We achieved the perfect design by including natural light, solid surfaces of natural stone and tile and custom paneling on many of the appliances in order to integrate the appliances into the wood cabinetry. A balance between counter, storage and appliances was attained by disguising the traditional look appliances with wood paneling, hiding them under the counter and gaining more counter space. As a result, we were able to customize the kitchen into zones to meet the homeowners' needs.
This inviting kitchen is centrally located in the home and the open floor plan accentuates the fluid transition from kitchen to adjacent living areas.
The owners wanted a minimalist and contemporary aesthetic in their kitchen design. This was accomplished by incorporating both modern professional style appliances and sleek sophisticated cabinetry. They also desired a kitchen in which they could entertain many guests. The kitchen is specifically set up for entertaining. The islands define the space and allow host and guests to mingle comfortably. The designer used two different and contrasting islands topped with four different shapes of Black Matrix granite, which are supported by custom made stainless steel cylindrical columns.
"The reflections of light from granite, mirror, stainless steel and cabinetry are dramatic and eye-catching in this lively kitchen."
The theme of sinuous shapes playing off hard lines is carried through in the perimeter cabinetry. Custom turned pilasters featuring inlaid radius stainless steel bands flank the twin Thermador freezer, refrigerator and also on the 98 bottle Thermador wine column. The reflections of light from granite, mirror, stainless steel and cabinetry are dramatic and eye-catching in this lively kitchen. The highly functional cooking area is set against a mirrored backsplash featuring a 48" Pro Grand® Thermador range and stainless hood. The owners expressed desire was that their kitchen be unique and totally personalized, which led to the commissioning of a local artist to hand paint the one-of-a-kind mural behind the range. If you look closely you can see their name in the design!
An urban couple was looking to update their four-story townhouse in which they've lived for 16 years. The designers, Aimee Nemeckay and Terri Crittenden, were challenged to re-imagine the compact space and create an open environment more conducive for the couple's frequent entertaining, while keeping much of the existing architecture intact.
Located on the second floor, the kitchen was isolated from the adjoining living and dining rooms. To open up the space, the design team shifted the room's entire orientation and extended the culinary experience beyond the confines of the kitchen. The newly opened floor plan seamlessly blends each space while also defining their individual identity and function. With warm tones, rift-cut oak cabinetry and custom-paneled Thermador appliances, the contemporary kitchen is an open and gracious galley-style format that enables multiple cooks to comfortably share the space.
"the design team both subtly defined and linked each space to contribute to the open, free-flowing floor plan..."
Serving as the primary prep area, the back wall features a large single basin sink, a Thermador Sapphire dishwasher and a 36" Thermador refrigerator that is mirrored by a tall pantry located on the other end of the run. Across the galley, a 48" Thermador Professional Series Range stands as the kitchen's focal point and is topped by a stainless steel Professional Series hood. The thick, matte-finished granite countertop flanks the range and continues around the floor's shared wall – creating a bar area in the transitional space – and seamlessly becomes the countertop for the living room media cabinet.
Featuring the new kitchen as the centerpiece of the main living area, the design team both subtly defined and linked each space to contribute to the open, free-flowing floor plan desired by the homeowners.
The new owners of this beautiful house needed to renovate a home that had not been touched in thirty years. A spiral staircase in the original kitchen that leads to an unfinished basement was deleted and relocated to another portion of the home.
A partition wall was also deleted to allow for a more open layout.
The large five foot square island was a must for the couple who love to entertain and welcome helpful hands for prep work as part of their social occasions. Although the main purpose of the large island was for ample prep space there is still seating for two set at the opposite corner of the major working sides of the island. The island cabinets are loaded with custom cutlery inserts, roll out shelves, plate drawer organizers as well as a double pull out bins for recycling and trash which is in addition to the other double bin pull out located to the right of the sink.
"The freezer and refrigerator columns were the perfect set up for the owners. The addition of a custom wine column in between was a nice way to house the red wine that the couple like serving with their meals and it also created symmetry for the cabinet set above."
The freezer and refrigerator columns were the perfect set up for the new owners. The addition of a custom wine column in between was a nice way to house the red wine that the couple like serving with their meals and it also created symmetry for the cabinet set above. The range wall is complete with storage directly behind the range in the island for pots and pans as well as dividers in the top drawer for the main cooking utensils, while tray storage and spice storage are located in the cabinetry to the right of the range.
The cabinets are walnut which complements the hickory wood flooring. The ledger stone backsplash ties into the natural grounds that surround the home. With the new warm color scheme the kitchen is now truly the heart of this home.
This customer was very specific about what they wanted and how they wanted to function in the kitchen. Every square inch was planned for organization and daily use. They wanted to create a smooth transition from the rest of the house, which was fully remodeled at the same time.
"Every square inch was planned for organization and daily use."
The major challenge was making sure that all of the appliances had a location that worked both aesthetically and functionally. We modified the layout a couple of times, trying to incorporate all the refrigeration the customer required.
Growing up in Idaho, our clients were accustomed to a more rustic and western style. They asked us to design a more functional kitchen for them and their three young children that would blend contemporary western elements with the traditional style of their home.
The existing kitchen was out of date and too small. They wanted an addition on the back of the home that incorporated a mudroom, an island with seating and a breakfast nook for everyday meals. This was harder than anticipated with the narrow pie shaped lot their home is on. We tackled this obstacle by reorienting the kitchen 90 degrees and bumping out the back of the home about five feet.
"They were immediately drawn to the sleek crisp lines of the Thermador brand..."
We blended their rustic western taste with traditional style through the use of materials. White painted cabinets make the space feel open and airy. Crown and detail moldings add a traditional flare. Wrought iron lanterns over the island, iron accents on the hood and island legs add rustic elements to the space. A reclaimed oak sliding barn door hides the sometimes messy mudroom, but also serves as another rustic focal point.
Our clients requested top of the line, no fuss and easy to clean appliances. They were immediately drawn to the sleek crisp lines of the Thermador brand. The 24" Freedom® Refrigerator Tower and 18" Freedom® Freezer Tower in combination with the 36" gas rangetop and double oven make short work of dinner time meals by not only being efficient and professional, but also keeping the sleek stylish look as to not deter from the overall kitchen design. Clean-up is simple with the 6-cycle dishwasher. Matching appliances complete the overall design by adding contemporary lines to the rustic and traditional elements.
It's an absolute truism that guests gravitate to the kitchen. As a designer, I believe that's because the kitchen is the energetic center – the soul – of the home. That's a lot to ask of a room, but I love a challenge. I've created many kitchens for my clients over the years, but the one pictured here is the first one I've done for myself. (Talk about a challenging client!)
The starting concept was a combination Great Room / Kitchen, but with a twist. I imagined myself hosting family and entertaining friends, enjoying each other's company as I created fabulous meals, but in a space that enhanced the entire experience for everyone – not just me. One result is that guests can get very close and feel part of the preparation action, but there is a division of space that allows them to not feel in the way or overly compelled to offer a helping hand just to be polite. Every appliance I need is within reach, but they're behind the working bar. Visible, yes, but not encroaching on the dining and mingling areas where most of my guests gather.
"I imagined myself hosting family and entertaining friends, enjoying each other's company as I created
fabulous meals"
To a large extent, I created a Thermador working kitchen and bar complete with a Thermador Wine Column, Thermador Dishwasher and additional Thermador Convection oven. I purposely created a symmetrical space to accommodate a natural traffic flow, provide ample food prep, storage and cleaning areas and, just as importantly, to create a visual / atmospheric balance free of useless nooks or isolated dead space.
This room has been amazing when hosting Thanksgiving for 45 people. Not only did we make a turkey on the rotisserie that everyone raved about, we made memories that will last forever. Needless to say, the client is thrilled!
European Styling That Fits a Gallon of Milk! Playing all roles – designer, client, and contractor – this husband and wife team tackled the challenging renovation of a kitchen in a 1979 modern home. The open plan was originally built with multiple levels, resulting in a kitchen plagued by a 7' ceiling. Additionally, it was separated from the living area and extensive views beyond by a half wall running the length of the home that only exasperated the problem. The existing island was too deep to be functional and created tight clearances in critical areas.
To make way for the transformation, cabinets were donated, the half wall was removed, and the entire kitchen floor was lowered. The genesis of the kitchen design was a balance of aesthetic appeal and utility. The kitchen serves as a hub for the main living floor where the couple spends most of their time and becomes the main attraction for entertaining. Often working from home, cooking meals together is part of their routine that frequently overlaps with brainstorming sessions. Therefore, the compact layout allows for two work areas, one for cooking and another for prep and cleanup, which transitions easily to an attached table for eating, sketching, and socializing. For large gatherings, the island becomes the perfect buffet, while two niches with tambour doors behind the stainless steel block conceal drop-off and drink prep areas.
"The full overlay cabinetry and Thermador's Masterpiece Series were a natural fit and supported the designers' goals for a sleek and integrated appearance without sacrificing function and innovation."
Upper cabinets are replaced by flexible slatwall to accommodate artwork as well as hanging utensils. The full overlay cabinetry and Thermador's Masterpiece® Series were a natural fit and supported the designers' goals for a sleek and integrated appearance without sacrificing function and innovation. The low profile induction cooktop offers a sophisticated look with responsiveness and speed, while the new Steam and Convection oven provides an alternative cooking method for the health-conscious couple.

I am working on making my truck more of a mobile base and am thinking of buying a Metolius Magnum crash pad (6x4) to do double duty as a "mattress" in the bed of my truck. Anybody have any experiance with this? Opinions? Too hard? If it seems like an ok idea where is the cheapest place to purchase?
I once slept on my crash pad for 5 days, Metolius Stomp Pad. It wasn't until the last night I remembered that the open-cell foam was on the bottom and the closed-cell foam was on the top. I recommend flipping the pad over to the open-cell side for a better night's sleep, unless you like to sleep on a concrete mattress. I feel it would be a great plan, especially with a bigger pad. Go for it. However, I haven't been in the market fo a pad in a while, so I have no clue where to get one cheap anymore except used here on MP maybe. -Mac
The metolious trifold is awesome for sleeping. Did a 10 month stint on one in the back of the pickup. You can really design the build up around the folds in the pad and Mae a sweet set up! Search for Nissan frontier in for sale area, recently sold it but the pics could help you out!
I have a Tacoma and use a Black Diamond Mondo with a Thermarest Dreamtime on top of it. Its a good setup. I slept on it for about five months last year and never had a problem with cold or discomfort.
I've been sleeping on my crash pad for 4 years, and in the back of my truck. Why do you need to ask???? It already looks like a bed....seems natural to me.
i sleep on my pad every time i go on a overnight trip and i have never been uncomfortable. FYI, my pad is the flashed shogun
Works like a charm. Just remember, wear a beanie but no shirt, it's the most comfortable way.
You can also get a nice cushy open-cell mattress/crashpad cover at Walmart and cut to fit your desired size.. They start at around $20 and go up to $80. Sleep on the pad and throw a cover on. Like a $500 pillow top and well worth it.
I think sleeping on my crash pad wore it out quicker. On the plus side, it got more comfortable for sleeping.

Federal Court Fines Lawyer $1K for 'Extensive Use of Improper Confidentiality Markings'
Posted Mar 31, 2011 2:07 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
There's no Federal Rule of Civil Procedure that explicitly governs the use of the "confidential" stamp.
But, finding that FRCP 26 and 28(d) implicitly require disclosure unless documents are designated confidential by statute or judicial order, a federal appeals court has imposed a $1,000 fine on attorney Daniel Shapiro of Katten Muchin Rosenman for "extensive use of improper confidentiality markings," reports the New York Law Journal in an article reprinted in New York Lawyer (reg. req.).
The disputed declaration was stamped on license and settlement agreements.
Shapiro declined to comment on the sanction by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.

Housebuilder Asprey Homes has announced the off-plan launch of a collection of new homes in Surrey for sale.
The development in Oxted, which, according to research by Santander, has everything buyers want: plenty of space, superb transport links, sensitive and thoughtful design and an enviable location in one of the most popular villages in Surrey.
All of these attributes were featured in the results of recent research by Santander which asked what buyers look for in a new home. The Santander findings show that 33% of buyers wish to live closer to work; 29% are looking for more space; 21% want good public transport links; and 18% would like a garage or parking space.
Beechwood Place, a collection of just six 3 and 4 bedroom houses arranged as two terraces is situated close to Oxted Station from which rail journeys to London Bridge take just over 30 minutes. With up to 1,379 square feet of accommodation and a private garden, space is not an issue. Each new home also has the additional benefit of its own parking space.
Prices at Beechwood Place range from £455,000 for a 3 bedroom house to £565,000 for a 4 bedroom property.
Helen Jackson, sales and marketing manager of Asprey Homes, said: "We are delighted to be able to offer such a select collection of new homes in Oxted, with such a desirable address and anticipate keen interest from buyers who are looking for superb local schools, an exquisite rural location and all the convenience of a classic and thriving country town. We anticipate high interest in the development and expect the homes to be secured off plan."

When talking about the best 10-inch tablet in particular and about best electronics in general, people must not forget that for each one of us the term "the best" might have different meanings. So for some it means high-end technology no matter the price tag, for others means affordable price correlated with quality, whilst for others means that the gadget is running on a certain operating system. There are different criteria to be taken into consideration and I will try to consider those that I am currently aware of and what I can think of.
Asus VivoTab Smart ME400C – currently only the 64GB SSD version is available and it still comes at a pretty decent price that could be actually qualified as being affordable. The reason for sustaining that is this is a best 10-inch tablet that runs on Windows 8. Therefore, even though the apps store is not as complete and rich in offers, you can run mostly any software on this gadget. The exception is made by the pieces of software that are avid graphics and power consumers.
If you find the 64GB option a little pricy then you can expect for the release of the 32GB option and buy that one, as long as you don't live in the US. The price wasn't announced for this alternative. And if you run out of space, the expansion method is there on the side – the microSD slot.
The list of specs is composed of: 1.8GHz dual-core Intel Atom Processor which is a greatly performing choice and, at the same time, a low-power consumer of battery life, 2GB memory, 8MP rear camera with flash, 2MP front one, microHDMI, and mini-USB port, a full-sized would have been just wonderful. The output will be enjoyed on a 10.1-inch HD IPS display. The battery life is 9.5 hours on average.
The version with greater storage space is pretty light – it weighs only 1.27 pounds (580 grams). And it's delivered with 1 year warranty. If you want the Bluetooth keyboard for imitating the laptop-experience you will have to buy it separately, extra charge.
To sum it up, once you have eliminated Android and iOS from the list, you are left out with a Windows 8 tablet and the Asus VivoTab Smart ME400C is one of the best and definitely affordable. The Surface Pro can also be easily considered to belong to this category. Chech Price at Amazon
Google Nexus 10 – it hasn't been long since this 10.1 inches model was announced but the news didn't come as a surprise since everyone from specialists to consumers who were saving their money for this model were expecting an older brother for the Nexus 7. Firstly, this is the tablet, related to this 10 inch particular department, with the highest PPI – 300 (2560 x 1600 pixel resolution) while the iPad 4 accounts only for 264ppi. This is surely a pertinent reason for including this Nexus on the list for the best 10-inch tablet.
I don't think that Google Nexus 10 can be regarded as the most affordable tablet from this list, that place is definitely occupied by two models from Asus: the ME400C because it has a very appropriate cheaper price tag to the Nexus 10 even though one comes with 64GB and the other with 32GB and no microSD slot for expanding internal storage and the second place goes to the Transformer TF700T 32GB. However, the TF700T is slightly more expensive than the ME400C, at the same capacity of 64GB, but it remains one of the best 10-inch tablets even though it's pricy. Between the iPad latest version and Nexus, the latter is more affordable.
Nevertheless, this latest model from Google can be definitely considered a high-end one and those who want high processing, graphics power, and huge apps store, can turn their attention towards this. Besides the highest PPI, the display is protected by Gorilla Glass 2 and it should be because it's one of the main attractive points. It also integrates a 5MP main camera with the capability of shooting 1080p video and 1.9MP front camera.
On the hardware list we encounter: 1.7GHz Samsung Exynos 5 CPU, Dual-core ARM Cortex-A15 GPU with 128 MB dedicated memory, 2GB RAM 1,333MHz, and either 16GB or 32GB internal storage that cannot be expanded. All four pieces work in tandem and run on Android 4.2 (lasts version). If you want 3G/4G options you will have to wait otherwise you can feel ready to become the proud owner of the Google Nexus 10, one of the most appreciated best 10-inch tablets by the public.
In terms of connectivity, the incorporated features are: 802.11 b/g/n wireless, Bluetooth, NFC support, GPS, micro USB port, mini HDMI output, headphone jack, and magnetic Pogo pin charger.
Furthermore, it weighs 1.3 pounds (603 grams) which means that it's neither the heaviest nor the lightest, just an average value for this size. It's 0.35 inches (8.9mm) thick and the battery life is averaged to last 10 hours.
All in all, everything is wonderful and delightful when it comes to the Google Nexus 10 both in the performances area and in the appearance department and its success will be without doubt an obvious testimony for the high quality incorporated by this slide. If I were to mention one downside, that would the lack of a microSD expansion slot. Check Price at Amazon
iPad 4 – was released not long after the iPad 3 so I assume that many users were frustrated with this outcome. However, that isn't the case because the differences aren't exactly life-changing, to say it gently. In fact there is only one notable difference – the new A6X with some minor upgrades in other areas. It was actually supposed to be integrated in the 3 version but it didn't because tests needed to be done in term of power efficiency.
Therefore, iPad 4 is twice as fast as its predecessor, both in terms of graphics performances as well as twice as much raw processing power. Otherwise, everything stayed the same as both versions run on iOS 6, both have Retina display the sharpest on the market with the highest resolution 2048 x 1536 pixels encountered in a 10 inch tablet more precisely 9.7 inches, the same 10 hours battery life, the same 1.4 pounds (635 grams) weight, and the same 5MP back camera. Nevertheless, the front facing camera has been improved – 1.2MP with the ability to provide 720p HD video. Alongside this change, another one can be noted – improved Wi-Fi. It now has dual band capacities for the two existent frequency bands: 2.4GHz and 5GHz.
Therefore, a microSD expansion slot wasn't incorporate even though customers have long complained about that and a lighter weight will maybe be encountered in the following versions. So the iPad 4 is definitely the best 10 inch tablet for those who can afford it, for those who want to make an upgrade from the iPad 2, and it's incontestably one highly qualitative product. Check Price at Amazon
Sony Xperia Tablet Z – even though this tablet has yet to reach other markets from the globe, except the Japanese ones, judging by its specs this can be easily classified as one of the best 10-inch tablet. Even though it doesn't come with the latest Android OS, instead it will be delivered with Android 4.1, it still has a unique feature and advantage over the above competitors: it's the lightest from this entire list – 1.1 pounds (495 grams). Its thinness is just as impressive – only 0.27 inches (6.9mm) thick.
Moving forward, towards studying what's under the hood, high-end specs are revealed: 1.5GHz Quad-Core Snapdragon S4 CPU from Qualcomm, helped in its performances by the memory of 2GB. Sony Xperia Tablet Z is made available with 32GB internal space but that can be easily expended through the microSD slot. The 8.1MP rear camera majestically ends this succinct list of features.
Even though info concerning the price has yet to appear, it is my opinion that this model won't come cheap, which might affect the selling numbers. But if it's rightly priced, this is a high-end model that many will have the chance to enjoy. The manufacturer should remember that customers don't pay a small fortune on Android slides even though it's a top notch one.
Vizio 10-inch tablet – even though it was barely announced this one deserves to be on this list for the best 10-inch tablet. Firstly, it's the first one to incorporate Tegra 4 Quad-Core CPU announced at the beginning of January at CES 2013. Moreover, the 2,560×1,600 pixels resolution is surely to make an impression on consumers.
It runs on the latest Android 4.2 operating system, it will have 32GB internal storage space expandable through the microSD slot, micro HDMI output, and Bluetooth connectivity. That's the info available until now for this Vizio model, no release date or price have been announced but it's exciting to see these new models that are competing for the title of the best 10-inch tablet 2013.

Children hunt down evil Daleks hiding in town
3:25pm Thursday 15th April 2010 in News
oungsters followed in the footsteps of Doctor Who when they hunted down Daleks in Corsham.
They had to find seven Daleks hidden among 50 shop windows in the competition organised by the town's Chamber of Commerce.
Sophie Sweetlove, 13, Matthew Little, ten, and Ben Hunt, five, were the top three winners.
Among the prizes were tickets to Longleat Safari Park and mystery gifts from Somerfield supermarket. The organisers chose the Dalek theme to coincide with the Corsham Sci-Fi day due to take place at 10am on Saturday at the community centre.

News: Amber Rose's "Never Been" W/ Wiz Khalifa & Rick Ross, "F*ck That Other Sh*t Them N*ggas Talk About" [Audio]
Wednesday, Mar 14, 2012 6:46PM
Video vixen Amber Rose continues to show off her musical talent by teaming up with fiancee Wiz Khalifa and the self-proclaimed "Biggest Boss" Rick Ross on their "Never Been (Part II)" collaboration.
Featured on Khalifa's new Taylor Allderdice mixtape, Rose proves she can hold her own alongside Wiz and Rozay.
Taylor Gang rides with Maybach Music on "Never Been (Part II)," one of 17 tracks off Wiz Khalifa's new mixtape Taylor Allderdice. The future Mrs. Cameron Thomaz catches a high over the trippy instrumental and Ricky Rozay flaunts his lavish lifestyle on the Sledgren-produced sequel to Wiz' 2010 Kush & Orange Juice cut. "Don't give a f*ck about the money, the clothes, cars," Rose sings, "I never been, this far. And f*ck that other sh*t them n*ggas talk about. I never been..." (Rap-Up)
Wiz's new mixtape drew in such a high demand it reportedly caused download complications t his week.
If you tried to download Wiz Khalifa's free "Taylor Allderdice" mixtape on Tuesday, you may have had a tough time. Fans must still be trying to get their hands on the mixtape because even now, the page loads very slowly. "Taylor Allderdice," which is named after Khalifa's Pittsburgh high school, features collaborations with Rick Ross, Taylor Gang members Chevy Woods and Juicy J, as well as Khalfia's new fiancee, model Amber Rose, who sings on one of the tracks. Khalifa is also working on a new studio album. (CBS News)
Just last month, Rose dropped her "Loaded" record.
Following her debut entry into the music scene with assistance from her beau superstar rapper Wiz Khalifa on "Fame", socialite, model and now recording artist Amber Rose delivers her second entry in the world of recorded music with "Loaded." The euro-dance tinged track produced by The Crew which features Amber dropping verses about how independently loaded she is isn't my personal taste, but In the current state of music I think it will definitely work in the clubs and to be honest she doesn't rhyme worse than some of the rappers being championed left right and center. (Soul Culture)
Recently, the blonde bombshell opened up about releasing her new "Fame" track without a price tag.
"It's so perfect and I didn't know that was actually gonna be my first single but I was just like I'll put "Fame" out for free. It's not gonna be on iTunes or anything like that," Rose explained in an interview. "It's just for the fans to understand a little bit more of my life and you know there's a lot of young kids or people in general that want to be famous but they don't really know what that entails. That's why I put out "Fame." ... I definitely rap and I sing and my music is fun. It's all dance music. I have an inspirational song that's really dope. I have some records that are just plain fun, like you just want to party, jump around and go crazy to." (VIBE)

Based on a 2003 workshop, this study describes current public and private programs and recommends ways to recruit and retain more women and underrepresented minorities into clinical research, especially physician-scientists and nurses. Federal sponsors should improve data collection, evaluate existing training programs, and increase the diversity of study section review panels. Public and private sponsors should create funding mechanisms with flexible career paths, and universities and professional societies should both play enhanced roles in fostering diversity. A significant push is needed to recruit minorities into nursing and provide more clinical research training for nurse-scientists, nursing students, and nursing faculty.

A 55-year-old man told police he attempted to buy an AR-15 assault rifle through an online broker, but the seller requested additional money at about 2:30 p.m. Jan. 12 at the Trenton Police Department.
The man said he wired the seller $830 via Western Union for the rifle, but the seller asked for additional money to pay for shipping and shipping insurance. The man refused to pay the additional costs.
The man communicated with the seller via text message.
The man said he wants his money returned or he is going to attempt to go through civil court, according to a Trenton police report.
Western Union told the man that he needed a police report before they could release any information to him, according to the same report.

Another week of insatiable hunger. Oh marathon training, I love you.
This post is going to be very random, because that's pretty much how my brain is functioning right now… in short sentences, jumping around in topics, but always thinking about eating.
There is no time to take pictures of food when you are marathon hungry!
This week I made quinoa in the rice maker! I know you all wanted an update on that and it was yummy. I just added more water than it calls for and put it on the brown rice setting. It comes out nice and fluffy and delicious and I will definitely be doing that again.
This week I ate far too many zbars, luna bars, clif bars, all of the above. I wish I didn't love bars so much but I do. They have taken over the fruit bowl.
This week I had egg tacos for dinner, twice. They are so fast and have lots of good things in them, I can't resist when I am impatient.
This week the only things that sounds appetizing to me are oatmeal and cheese, but definitely not together.
I am going through oatmeal like it's going out of style.
The rice cooker makes it even better!
This week bananas tasted good again, but apples not so much.
This week I went through 2 boxes of granola.
Last weekend I had the best veggie burger from The Habit (first time there!) after my long run on Sunday. Veggie burgers seem to be my new post long run craving and I think I will be going there every week from now on.
It's been a very good week in training so far and I am doing my best to refuel with good foods. I have definitely used my tricks from last week and it's helped a lot. I come home and have healthy options in front of me, so that's what I eat… just a lot of it!
Brown rice with sautéed brussel sprouts, spinach and garbanzo beans. YUM.
I rewarded myself on the good week so far with cookie Thursday (when Chris brings me home a cookie) and it was definitely worth it.
What do you crave post long run? Have you rewarded yourself yet this week?

For 41 years, Herman Wallace was shown no mercy by a system that has never shown any mercy to anyone it considers its historical or present enemy. Herman Wallace was made to suffer at the hands of local, state and federal governments. No matter how bad his situation got, there was not one human being within this system, or government, who sought to provide Herman Wallace any mercy.

I've been asked several times how it was possible that rivals from different racial and/or regional groups were able to see past differences and come together to form the Human Rights Movement. The Human Rights Movement is a concerted effort to end long term solitary confinement and make better the living conditions in all SHU and Ad Seg housing facilities across the state of California and the nation as a whole!

The only defense that can protect the people is to assemble the power of the people. We are our only defense. We have suffered enough injustice at the hands of a very evil system – CDCr and PBSP – and it is time that we prisoners express that pain and suffering by all means at our disposal, because CDCr and PBSP are censoring SF Bay View in order to censor prisoners, because we are exposing cruel and unusual treatment of prisoners. We collectively commend and value the courage and commitment as well as the principled stand that the SF Bay View is taking to speak truth to power.

Many discussions are taking place on the nature of the indefinite solitary confinement program in the U.S. prisons and whether or not it constitutes torture. The debate on what to do about the program itself is being held at every level of social organization, from the U.S. Senate to the United Nations, from the California Legislature to the short corridors of Pelican Bay and Corcoran SHUs.

I'm writing this letter to advise you and your loyal readers of the retaliation that Pelican Bay State Prison gang investigators have taken up against those of us inmates who "associate with SF Bay View" and inform them not to be discouraged or dissuaded in our struggle to have our voices heard.

Imagine you were framed again by prison gang officers using a tattoo you got as a child and a symbol in a birthday card to "validate" you as a "prison gang associate" and label you "worst of the worst" and placed in segregation in a Security Housing Unit, or SHU, for years on end. That is what happened to my childhood best friend and husband, Robbie Riva.

Kevin Cooper has been locked down on death row in San Quentin for the past 26 years. He was convicted of the 1983 murder of the Ryen family, although no reliable evidence showed him to be guilty. On the contrary, the case has overwhelming evidence suggesting that he is in fact an innocent man.

Support for the hunger strike grows with solidarity actions across the U.S. and Canada this past weekend.

Did you know that five judges from the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals have now said about me: "The State of California may be about to execute an innocent man." I hope that you will speak about what it is like to have almost done just that.

Corner quarterback Blake Byrd passed for 233 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Yellow Jackets' offense.
Austin Roach led the Eagles' offense with 14 rushes for 116 yards, while Jacob Self led the defense with nine tackles, including a tackle for a loss and a forced fumble.
Corner rolled up 39 unanswered points before the Eagles scored their first points of the game when Andrew Rhodes tackled Casey Fuller in the end zone for a safety, cutting the Yellow Jackets' lead to 39-2.
On the following series, Sumiton Christian mounted a 9-play, 70-yard drive as Rhodes found Aaron Tucker on a 33-yard touchdown strike. Trey Collins' extra point closed the lead to 39-9.
Midway through the fourth quarter, the Eagles struck again on a 55-yard, 6-play drive, with Rhodes hauling in a 12-yard pass from Austin Clark to draw Sumiton Christian closer, 39-15.
Clark scored the final points of the game on a two-yard run to end a 10-play, 72-yard drive at the end of regulation to reach the 39-21 final.
Both teams finished the season with 6-4 records, with Corner traveling to Deshler in the first round of the playoffs, while Sumiton Christian travels to Fyffe for its first-round playoff match-up.

According to Ted Casablanca at E!, Breaking Dawn will stay true to its roots instead of being watered down for the big screen.
Breaking Dawn features scenes that are quite violent and overtly sexual, and it was feared that the script would gloss over important elements that may not be appropriate for a younger audience.
Ted cites producers that say it will be "very, very sexual, …almost too hot for Twilight's fanbase".
Skip ahead to 2:35 in the video to catch the part about Breaking Dawn.
Who knows if this is true, but I have my fingers crossed!

St Albans choir presents charities with money raised over festive period
Updated 11:45am Thursday 23rd January 2014 in News By Rebecca Perring, Senior Reporter
A St Albans choir has presented three charities with substantial sums of money raised by their signing over the festive period.
At their first rehearsal of the New Year, St Albans Bach Choir presented a cheque for £1277.36 raised at the choir's afternoon carol concert in St Albans Abbey to Helen Cullen of Hands at Work in Africa.
The money will go towards helping vulnerable communities across eight countries in sub-Saharan Africa, work which has been seen at first hand by choir member Juliet Lyal.
Choir chairman Dr Jean Baillie said: "All the suggestions for charities to support come from choir members, so these are charities that we really do want to help."
The evening concert raised £1616.22 for The Living Room in St Albans.
Mary Corbett, accepting the cheque on behalf of the charity said it would help to "enable lives in this community to manage themselves and be open to growth."
For over twenty years, former choir chairman Ken George has organised an evening carol sing by choir members at the Lower Red Lion in Fishpool Street.
This year's event, plus additional donations also sourced by Mr George, raised £1224 for another local charity, the ADD-vance ADHD and Autism Trust.
Accepting the cheque on behalf of the charity, Anne Ross said: "As a small charity helping thousands of children with life-long but largely invisible conditions this donation is most welcome and will support our helpline for two years."

A legendary Nashville watering hole is making a comeback.
The owner of M.L. Rose is teaming up with a developer to bring back The Sutler.
The Sutler was a Nashville favorite for 30 years, located off Eighth Avenue South in the Melrose neighborhood.
It was a great spot for local music then and still attracted stars who'd gone on to bigger stages.
The Sutler closed in 2005.
The new version will be in the old Melrose theater building, which is being redeveloped into a mixed-use space.
The Sutler will feature a full-service restaurant, bar and live music.

Whalley police station closure is 'inevitable'
9:42am Friday 23rd September 2011 in Whalley By Nazia Parveen, Reporter
CONCERNS have been raised about the closure of a police station in a busy Ribble Valley village.
Councillors in Whalley have been consulted about the potential sale of the police station in Princess Street.
Ward councillor Terry Hill said it was sad the station could close but claimed it was a sign of the times.
He said: "Provided that they leave an access point it is inevitable that it will close.
"It provides a visible presence in the village but we are aware that the police authority are under enormous pressure to make savings and we do sympathise with them.
"People will need to be satisfied that this will not detract from police presence in the village and we need reassurance that we will not lose any frontline officers off the beat."
The closure of the station is being considered as part of Lancashire Constabulary cost-cutting measures.
Proposals are already being considered which would involve Hyndburn and Ribble Valley CID working from one location, possibly Accrington.
And Newton station serving four villages in the rural Hodder Valley – the only one between Clitheroe and Lancaster, almost 25 miles – has also been earmarked for closure.
The savings are being demanded by the Government.
The consulation process launched to give people a say on the future of police premises across the county will end tomorrow.
Around 1,000 residents have completed surveys during 12 weeks and hundreds more made contact via meetings, e-mail and petitions.
The views on the closure of selected front counters and police stations, will now be considered and a final decision made in November.
Chief Superintendent Tim Jacques said: "Every single aspect of our business is being reviewed in order to find the necessary savings and that includes the properties we use and the services we provide at front counters in police stations.
"We recognise that any closures will cause concern which is why we were extremely keen to consult the public before we made any decisions."
